FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view showing the winning device 9 of the first embodiment.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the configuration of the protruding portion 93a of the first embodiment.

The winning device 9 is provided on the front side Y1 of the reciprocating table 8a and reciprocates in the depth direction Y integrally with the reciprocating table 8a. The winning device 9 includes eaves portions 91a and 91b, sliding surfaces 92, protruding portions 93a and 93b, protruding portion driving portions 94a and 94b, inclined portions 95a and 95b, winning holes 96a and 96b, and a cover portion 98a. , 98b (cover portion).
Since the winning device 9 has a bilaterally symmetric configuration, the configuration of the left X1 portion will be mainly described, but the configuration of the right X2 portion is also the same.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the eaves portions 91a and 91b are arranged such that part of the edge portion of the front side Y1 of the reciprocating table 8a is on the front side Y1 in the direction in which the medal M on the reciprocating table 8a is moved. The cover portions 98a and 98b are formed so as to extend above the cover portions 98a and 98b. The eaves 91a and 91b are not provided in the range of the recess 8d in which the sliding surface 92 is formed. In the range of the recess 8d, the edge of the reciprocating table 8a, the sliding surface 92, and the upper end are connected to each other, so that the medal M dropped from the reciprocating table 8a is guided to the sliding surface 92.

In the eaves portion 91a, medals other than the medals that have rolled on the inclined portion 95a, that is, medals M that do not pass through the inclined portion 95a, are located in the vicinity of a gap 90a (described later) between the cover portion 98a and the sliding surface 92. It can be prevented from reaching. For this reason, the eaves portion 91a can prevent problems such as the medal M being held in the vicinity of the gap 90a.
For example, if the medal M directly reaches the vicinity of the gap 90a, as shown in FIG. 4B, the medal M cannot be moved by the edge 98c of the cover portion 98a, or the medal M cannot be moved as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, when the medal M tries to jump directly into the gap 90a, a gap may be formed between the medal M and the sliding surface 92, which may cause problems such as being caught by the gap 90a. The eaves part 91a can prevent such a problem.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the sliding surface 92 is a surface arranged on the front side Y1 of the reciprocating table 8a, and is continuous with the reciprocating table 8a. The sliding surface 92 is inclined so as to reach the near side Y1 as it goes down, and the medal M dropped from the reciprocating table 8a slides down, and the sliding medal M is guided to the inclined portions 95a and 95b. .

As shown in FIG. 5, the protruding portion 93 a is disposed in a range where the medal M is guided to the inclined portion 95 a in the sliding surface 92, and is provided so as to protrude from the sliding surface 92.
The protruding portion 93a is provided so as to be movable in the normal direction A (protruding direction) of the sliding surface 92 within the opening hole 92a (see FIG. 4A) of the sliding surface 92. A chamfered portion 93c is provided at the upper corner of the protruding portion 93a. When the protruding portion 93a is disposed on the upper side, the medal M dropped from the reciprocating table 8a is repelled by the chamfered portion 93c so as to be lifted from the sliding surface 92 (see arrow B). Thus, the protrusion 93a can prevent the medal M from being guided to the inclined portion 95a. The protruding portion 93a has its protruding amount changed by the protruding portion driving portion 94a, and the degree of ease of winning the medal M into the winning hole 96a can be adjusted.

The protrusion drive unit 94a is a device that drives the protrusion 93a in the protrusion direction to change the protrusion amount of the protrusion 93a from the sliding surface 92. The protrusion drive unit 94a includes a solenoid or the like arranged so that the extending direction is the protrusion direction, and drives the protrusion 93a in the protrusion direction.
The protrusion drive unit 94b is a device similar to the protrusion drive unit 94a that drives the protrusion 93b.
The protrusion drive units 94a and 94b are independently driven by the control unit 30 (described later). Thereby, the game machine 1 can be driven so that the protrusions 93a and 93b have different protrusion amounts.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the inclined portions 95 a and 95 b are provided so as to protrude in the normal direction of the sliding surface 92. The inclined portions 95a and 95b are inclined in directions in which inclined surfaces 95c and 95d, which are upper surfaces thereof, are different. That is, the inclined surface 95c is inclined downward toward the left side X1, while the inclined surface 95d is inclined downward toward the right side X2. The inclined portions 95a and 95b are connected to the sliding surface 92 in the left-right direction X. The medal M that has slid down the sliding surface 92 is guided to roll one of the two inclined portions 95a and 95b by the top portion 95e of the inclined portions 95a and 95b.
The medal M guided to the inclined portion 95a moves while rolling on the inclined surface 95c downward in the inclination direction by the action of gravity, while the back surface thereof is in contact with the sliding surface 92.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the winning hole 96a is an opening hole provided in the sliding surface 92 in the lower range of the inclined portion 95a in the inclination direction. The medal M rolls on the inclined portion 95a while its back surface is in contact with the sliding surface 92. For this reason, the medal M that has rolled on the inclined portion 95a falls by the action of gravity and is surely won.
The winning holes 96a and 96b are provided corresponding to the inclined portions 95a and 95b.

  Winning sensors 97a and 97b (see FIG. 6) are provided inside the winning holes 96a and 96b. The winning sensors 97a and 97b are optical sensors or the like, and output a detection signal to the control unit 30 (see FIG. 6) when the winning medal M is detected.

The cover portion 98a is a plate-like member provided in parallel to the sliding surface 92 so as to have a gap 90a between the sliding surface 92 and the front side Y1 with respect to the inclined portion 95a (see FIG. 3D). ). The cover portion 98a is disposed on the near side Y1 with respect to the inclined portion 95a, and is disposed so as to cover the near side Y1 of the winning hole 96a. In the gap 90a between the cover portion 98a and the sliding surface 92, medals that have rolled on the inclined portions 95a and 95b can enter.
Since the cover portion 98a is arranged so as to cover the winning hole 96a, the medal M other than the medal M that has rolled on the inclined portion 95a, for example, the medal M inserted from the medal insertion device 4 or the medal discharge port 6 It is possible to prevent the medal M released from the player from winning directly.

  The cover portion 98a may be formed of either a light-transmitting member or a concealing (light-blocking) material that does not have light-transmitting properties. When the cover 98a is formed of a light-transmitting member, the player can visually recognize the manner in which the medal M rolls the inclined portion 95a around the inclined portion 95a and wins the winning hole 96a. The aspect can look interesting. On the other hand, in the case of being formed of a concealing member, the cover portion 98a can cause the player to recognize that the medal M has won by rolling the inclined portion 95a so that the medal M enters the gap 90a. , You can easily show the way you win.

Next, a block diagram of the game machine 1 will be described.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the game machine 1 according to the first embodiment.
The game machine 1 includes a storage unit 20 and a control unit 30 in addition to the hardware described above.
In the present invention, a computer refers to an information processing device including a storage device, a control unit, and the like, and the game machine 1 is an information processing device including a storage unit 20, a control unit 30 (described later), and the like. It is included in the concept of the computer of the present invention.
The storage unit 20 is a storage device such as a hard disk or a semiconductor memory element for storing programs, information, and the like necessary for the operation of the game machine 1. The storage unit 20 stores a game program 21 for executing the medal game of the game machine 1.

The control unit 30 is a control unit for comprehensively controlling the game machine 1 and includes, for example, a CPU (central processing unit). The control part 30 is provided with the play progress control part 31 and the protrusion part control part 32, and can transmit information between these each control part as needed.
The control unit 30 reads and executes various programs stored in the storage unit 20 as appropriate, thereby realizing various functions according to the present invention in cooperation with the hardware described above.
The play progress control unit 31 is a control unit for comprehensively controlling the progress of the game.
The protrusion control unit 32 is a control unit that controls the protrusion drive parts 94a and 94b to drive the protrusions 93a and 93b to control the protrusion amounts of the protrusions 93a and 93b.

Next, the operation of the game machine 1 will be described.
At the start of play, the projecting part control unit 32 controls the projecting part driving units 94a and 94b so that, for example, one out of five medals M dropped from the reciprocating table 8a is inclined from the sliding surface 92 to the inclined parts 95a and 95b. The projecting portions 93a and 93b are driven so that the projecting amount is enough to be guided to the right side.
As shown in FIG. 1, when medals M are sequentially inserted from the medal insertion device 4 by the player, the reciprocating table 8a and the fixed table 8b of the pusher base 8 in the play area F are displayed on the fixed table 8b as shown in FIG. M is placed.

  The medal M placed on the reciprocating table 8a moves to the near side Y1 with the reciprocating movement of the reciprocating table 8a, and falls from the reciprocating table 8a. As shown in FIG. 4A, the medal M dropped from the recessed portion 8d of the reciprocating table 8a is guided to the sliding surface 92. Then, the medal M that has not been repelled by the protruding portions 93a and 93b is guided to one of the inclined portions 95a and 95b and wins one of the winning holes 96a and 96b. On the other hand, the medal M repelled by the protrusions 93a and 93b falls on the fixed table 8b without winning.

The winning sensors 97a and 97b output an output signal to the control unit 30 when the winning medal M is detected. Based on the outputs of the winning sensors 97a and 97b, the play progress control unit 31 drives the slot 5d to perform a lottery. When the lottery result is a big win (when the slot 5d is “777”), the medal sending device 11 is driven and a large amount (for example, about 50) of medals M is paid out from the medal discharge port 6. At the same time, the protrusion control unit 32 controls the protrusion driving units 94a and 94b for a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds), thereby reducing the protrusion amount of the protrusions 93a and 93b from the sliding surface 92 to zero. .
This makes it easy to win a medal M without being repelled by the protrusions 93a and 93b within a predetermined time. During this predetermined period, every time the medal M wins the winning holes 96a, 96b, the play progress control unit 31 drives the medal sending device 11 to pay out about ten medals M from the medal discharge port 6. . For this reason, it becomes a chance of medal acquisition for the player.

On the other hand, when the lottery result is a win (when three-digit numbers other than 7 are arranged, that is, “000”, “111”, etc.), the play progress control unit 31 does not pay out a large amount, but protrudes. The part control unit 32 controls which of the protrusion drive parts 94a and 94b, and reduces the protrusion amount of the protrusions 93a and 93b from the sliding surface 92 for a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds). To. For example, when the odd number other than 7 is obtained as a result of the lottery of the slot 5d, the protruding portion control unit 32 controls the protruding portion driving portion 94a to set the protruding amount of the protruding portion 93a to 0. When the numbers are aligned, the protrusion drive unit 94b is controlled so that the protrusion amount of the protrusion 93b is zero.
As a result, the medal M is won without being repelled by any one of the protrusions 93a and 93b within a predetermined time, which is a chance for the player. However, since the protrusion amount of only one of the protrusions 93a and 93b is 0, the possibility of winning is lower than in the case of the jackpot described above.

When a predetermined time elapses after the big hit or the hit, the protrusion control unit 32 again arranges the protrusions 93a and 93b at the position at the start of play.
Thus, since the game machine 1 drives the protrusions 93a and 93b independently as the play progresses, it is possible to adjust the degree of ease of winning for each winning hole 96a and 96b. In addition, the degree of ease of winning a prize can be adjusted to reflect the content of the play.

  As described above, the game machine 1 can provide a medal pusher game of a new mode that slides down the sliding surface 92 and guides the medal M that has rolled down the inclined portions 95a and 95b to the winning hole.

The medal calling portion 299a is a U-shaped frame that is provided around the winning hole 296a and that is open on the upper side. For this reason, when the medal M falling on the game board surface 5 hits the medal calling portion 299a, the medal calling portion 299a can drop the medal M into the winning hole 296a and win a prize.
As shown in FIG. 9, the medal calling portion 299a is provided so as to have a gap with the transparent panel 5c. For this reason, when the medal M that floats and falls from the base panel 5a hits the winning sensor 297a, the medal M falls from the gap and cannot be won.

The winning devices 209B and 209C are the same devices as the winning device 209A. The winning device 209B includes a protruding portion 293b, a protruding portion driving portion 294b, a winning hole 296b, a medal calling portion 299b, and a winning sensor 297b (see FIG. 10), and the winning device 209C includes a protruding portion 293c, a protruding portion driving portion 294c, a winning hole 296c, a medal calling portion 299c, and a winning sensor 297c (see FIG. 10).
As shown in FIG. 7, in the medal storage unit 210, in addition to the medal M dropped from the medal dropping hole 8c, the medal M inserted into the medal insertion device 204 is stored.

Next, the operation of the game machine 201 will be described.
At the start of play, the protrusion control unit 232 controls the protrusion drive units 294a, 294b, and 294c, and among the medals M dropped from the game board surface 5, for example, one out of five is a winning hole 296a, 296b, 296c. The projecting portions 293a, 293b, and 293c are driven so as to win a prize.
As shown in FIG. 7, each time a medal M is sequentially inserted into the medal insertion device 204 by the player, the play progress control unit 231 drives the medal delivery device 211 to generate one medal M from the medal discharge port 6. Pay out.
The medal M falls between the base panel 5a and the transparent panel 5c of the game board surface 5, and the medal M that is not repelled by the projecting portions 293a, 293b, 293c hits the medal calling portions 299a, 299b, 299c, The winning hole 296a, 296b or 296c is won.

  The play progress control unit 231 drives the slot 5d based on the output of any of the winning sensors 297a, 297b, and 297c to perform a lottery, and when the lottery result is a big win, a large amount is paid out. At the same time, the protrusion control unit 232 controls all the protrusion drive parts 294a, 294b, 294c for a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds), and the base panel of all the protrusions 293a, 293b, 293c. The amount of protrusion from 5a is set to zero. This provides an opportunity for the player to acquire medals.

On the other hand, the play progress control unit 231 does not pay out a large amount when the lottery result is a win, but the projecting unit control unit 232 projects the projecting unit driving unit 294a corresponding to the winning holes 296a, 296b, and 296c that won the medal M. , 294b, 294c are controlled so that the protruding amounts of the protruding portions 293a, 293b, 293c having won the medal M for a predetermined time are set to zero. For example, when the medal M wins the winning hole 296a, the protrusion control unit 232 sets the protrusion amount of the protrusion 293a to zero.
This makes it easy for the player to win the medal M without being repelled by any of the protruding portions 293a, 293b, and 293c within a predetermined time. However, the possibility of winning is lower than in the case of the jackpot described above.

  Thus, since the game machine 201 independently drives the plurality of projecting portions 293a, 293b, and 293c, the ease of winning can be adjusted for each of the winning holes 296a, 296b, and 296c. Further, the game machine 201 can adjust the degree of ease of winning the medal M by driving the protrusions 293a, 293b, and 293c as the play progresses.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made as in the modifications described later, and these are also included in the present invention. Within the technical scope. In addition, the effects described in the embodiments are merely a list of the most preferable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are not limited to those described in the embodiments. It should be noted that the above-described embodiment and modifications described later can be used in appropriate combination, but detailed description thereof is omitted.

(Deformation)
(1) In the first embodiment, the example in which the winning device is provided on the front side of the reciprocating table is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the winning device may be provided on the front side of the fixed table.

(2) In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which a winning hole is provided on the sliding surface and a medal is awarded when the winning hole falls into the winning hole, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a medal enters a gap between the sliding surface and the guard portion, a medal winning may be used. In this case, an optical sensor or the like for detecting that a medal has entered the gap may be provided. As a result, the control unit can determine a medal winning when a medal is inserted into the gap, and thus can quickly detect a medal winning.
