Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine and a decorative member thereof.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the gaming machine 100 includes a game board 101 that is disposed so as to face the player when installed in a game arcade. On the game board 101, a ball guide rail 102 and a game are provided. A region forming rail 103 is installed.

When these hitting ball guide rails 102 and game area forming rails 103 are installed on the game board 101, a certain area on the game board 101 is surrounded by them.
An area surrounded by the hitting ball guide rail 102 and the game area forming rail 103 is called a game area 104, and inside the game area 104, a symbol display device 105 that displays a change of symbols, and a decorative member thereof 106, a winning device and the like are installed.

Among these, the symbol display device 105 is installed in the approximate center of the game area 104, and the decorative member 106 is installed around it.
By the way, the decorative member 106 has been increased in size in recent years, and some of the decorative members 106 protrude to a position close to the hitting ball guide rail 102.

  In this case, the decorative member 106 is installed in a portion that is located within a predetermined width from the hitting guide rail 102 and that a game ball guided by the hitting guide rail 102 is expected to pass through. The portion (hereinafter referred to as “game ball passing portion 107”) is a portion through which the game ball passes, and thus is formed thinner than other portions through which the game ball does not pass.

However, in order to stably fix the decorative member 106 with respect to the game board 101, the portion where the game ball passage portion 107 is formed is also screwed.
Therefore, even if the game ball passage portion 107 is formed to be thin, it has a thickness that can withstand screwing.

  Since the game ball passage portion 107 has such a thickness, the side formed by the game ball passage portion 107 and the side where the game ball rides on the game ball passage portion 107 from the game board 101. (Hereinafter referred to as “the ride-up side 108”) is formed with a slope for making it easy to get on the game ball.

  However, the slope formed on the riding side 108 is formed with substantially the same width from one end of the riding side to the other end, and the width thereof is narrow. In addition, the longitudinal direction (from one end of the riding side to the other end) The game ball passage portion 107 is installed on the game board 101 so that the direction toward the vertical direction and the direction perpendicular to the width direction is directed to a direction almost perpendicular to the trajectory of the game ball.

  Therefore, in the conventional gaming machine 100, when the game balls are launched with the same strength at a constant rhythm and hit the boarding side 108, as in the case of right-handed, each game ball jumps up one after another, and the game area 104 The strength hit in the same place of the glass covering the glass repeatedly hit without decreasing, causing damage to the glass.

  Accordingly, the present invention provides a glass in which each game ball climbs one after another and covers the game area on the boarding side installed in the area where the game balls guided by the rail pass from the game board surface. Even if it hits, it aims at providing the game machine which is hard to damage of glass by making it the shape which can weaken the strength which hits glass.

A gaming machine according to claim 1 of the present invention is a gaming machine having a gaming area surrounded by the rail by installing a rail on the gaming board,
The game area is provided in an area through which game balls guided by the rail pass, and includes a game ball passage portion on which the game balls ride on the game board,
The sides of the game ball passage part, and the slope formed on the boarding side where the game ball rides on the game ball passage part from the game board,
The width is narrowed toward the rail, and the lower demarcation line is formed in a shape that gradually approaches a parabolic shape with respect to the rail.

  In this gaming machine, the slope formed on the boarding side becomes narrower as it approaches the rail, and the demarcation line on the lower side gradually forms a parabolic shape with respect to the rail. When riding on the game ball passing part from the surface of the game board using this slope, it rides while pushing the game ball against the rail side.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine of the present invention, even if the game ball passage portion is installed in the area through which the game ball passes, the game ball jumps up on the boarding side and does not hit the glass covering the game area strongly. It becomes difficult to break.

  Next, as in the gaming machine described in claim 2 and the decorative member described in claim 3, the game ball passage portion is a part of the decorative member that decorates the periphery of the symbol display device installed in the game area. It may be.

  In recent years, decorative members have become larger in size, but even if the decorative member has a size that reaches the vicinity of the rail, a game ball passage portion is formed in the portion that reaches the region through which the game ball guided by the rail passes. By doing so, it is possible to maximize the decorative member within the game area.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the shape of the boarding side is a shape that does not jump up even if it hits the game ball, so that the thickness of the game ball passage part can be formed to a thickness that can be screwed. Even if the size is increased, it can be securely fixed on the game board.

It is a front view of the gaming machine of the present embodiment, showing a game area and its vicinity. It is sectional drawing of a game ball passage part, Comprising: It is IIA-IIA sectional drawing of FIG. It is a front view of the conventional game machine, and has shown the game area and its vicinity part.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is a gaming machine that includes a not-shown hitting ball launching device and a not-shown hitting ball operation handle that operates the hitting ball hitting device when operated by a player.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the gaming machine 1 includes a game board 2 that is disposed so as to face the player when installed in a game hall. On the game board 2, a ball guide rail 3 and a game are provided. A region forming rail 4 is installed.

  The hitting ball guide rail 3 is a rail that guides a game ball launched by a hitting ball launcher, and the game area forming rail 4 is a rail provided so that the launched game ball flies within a certain range.

In the gaming machine 1, a certain area on the game board 2 is surrounded by the hitting ball guide rail 3 and the game area forming rail 4. This enclosed area is called a game area 5.
And in the center of this game area 5, the symbol display apparatus 6 which displays a mode that a symbol fluctuates is installed, Furthermore, the decoration member 7 is installed in the circumference | surroundings of this symbol display apparatus 6. FIG.

Various game members are installed on the outer side of the decorative member 7.
As game members, for example, a windmill 51, a start winning device 52, a big winning port device 53, an out port 54, and the like are provided.

In addition to these, various devices are installed in the gaming machine 1, but since the gaming machine is generally configured, further explanation is omitted.
In the gaming machine 1 configured as described above, a game ball is launched from the ball hitting device by the player's operation of the ball operating handle, and the game ball passes between the ball guide rail 3 and the game area forming rail 4 to play the game. Launched in area 5.

  Then, the game ball falls in the game area 5 by its own weight, and in the process of falling, the game ball 5 is changed in the direction of dropping by a game nail or a windmill 51 (not shown) implanted in the game area 5, and the start winning device 52 is provided. A winning prize is provided in the starting prize opening or the big prize opening device 53.

On the other hand, a game ball that has not won a prize falls into the out port 54.
When the game ball wins the start winning opening, a predetermined prize ball is given to the player, and the symbol display device 6 displays a state of the symbol changing, and the symbol that is confirmed and displayed is a predetermined symbol. In the case of a combination, the special prize opening device 53 opens the special prize opening in a predetermined manner.

  In the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the decoration member 7 is an area located on the right side of the uppermost position of the game area 5 when viewed from the front, and is close to the hitting ball guide rail 3 surrounding the upper part of the game area 5 It is overhanging to the position to do.

  However, of the overhanging portion, a portion having a predetermined width from the hitting ball guide rail 3 and a portion where the game ball guided by the hitting ball guide rail 3 is expected to pass is not passed by the game ball. It is formed thinner than the part.

The thin part of the decorative member 7 is hereinafter referred to as a game ball passage 8.
On the left side of the game ball passage portion 8 (the side on the side where the game ball is guided toward the game ball passage portion 8), the game ball passes from the game board 2 to the game ball passage portion as shown in FIG. 8 is formed with a slope 90 for riding on the top. The side on which the inclined surface 90 is formed is hereinafter referred to as “the riding side 9”.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the slope 90 formed on the riding side 9 becomes narrower as it approaches the ball striking guide rail 3, and the lower demarcation line 91 gradually approaches the ball striking guide rail 3 in a parabolic manner. It is formed into a shape.

  When a game ball is launched from a hitting ball launching device (not shown) to the game ball passing portion 8 in which such a slope 90 is formed, the game ball guided to the hitting ball guide rail 3 and reaches the riding side 9 is played by the slope 90. It rides on the ball passage 8 smoothly.

  This is because the slope 90 formed on the riding side 9 becomes narrower as it approaches the hitting ball guide rail 3 and the lower demarcation line 91 gradually forms a parabolic shape with respect to the hitting ball guide rail 3. Therefore, when the game ball rides on the game ball passing portion 8 from the game board 2 surface using the slope 90, the game ball rides while pushing the game ball against the hitting ball guide rail 3 side.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even if the game ball passing portion 8 is installed in the region through which the game ball passes, the game ball does not jump up due to the slope 90 provided on the boarding side 9. Since it is possible to get on the game ball passage 8 smoothly from above 2, it is difficult to break the glass.

  Further, in recent years, the decorative member 7 has been enlarged, but even the decorative member 7 having a size reaching the vicinity of the hitting guide rail 3 reaches a region through which a game ball guided by the hitting guide rail 3 passes. With respect to the above, if the game ball passage 8 is formed, the decoration member 7 can be maximized.

Further, in the gaming machine 1, the shape of the slope 90 of the boarding side 9 is a shape that does not jump up even when the game ball hits, so that the thickness of the game ball passage portion 8 can be formed to a thickness that can be screwed. Even if the decoration member 7 is enlarged, the decoration member 7 can be reliably fixed on the game board 2.
