Description

従来より、パチンコ機等の遊技機において、遊技媒体として例えば遊技球が打ち込まれる遊技領域内には、多数の障害釘が所定のゲージ配列をなして備えられている他、遊技領域の適宜位置には、遊技媒体が受入れられることで所定数の遊技媒体を払出す入賞口が複数備えられている。これら入賞口の中には、遊技媒体の受入れを契機として抽選を行う始動口が備えられており、その始動口への遊技媒体の受入れによって抽選された抽選結果に応じて、遊技者に有利な有利遊技状態を発生させるものも知られている。この従来の遊技機は、遊技領域内へ打ち込むための遊技媒体や、入賞口等への入賞により払出された遊技媒体を貯留する貯留皿が備えられており、この貯留皿内の遊技媒体が打込装置に供給されて遊技領域内へ打ち込まれるようになっている。
Conventionally , in gaming machines such as pachinko machines, a lot of obstacle nails are provided in a predetermined gauge arrangement in a gaming area where, for example, gaming balls are driven as gaming media, and at appropriate positions in the gaming area. Is provided with a plurality of winning openings for paying out a predetermined number of game media when the game media are received. Among these winning holes, there is a start opening for lottery with the reception of game media, and it is advantageous to the player according to the lottery result drawn by receiving game media into the start opening. Those that generate an advantageous gaming state are also known. This conventional gaming machine is provided with a storage tray for storing game media to be driven into the game area and game media paid out by winning in a prize opening or the like. It is supplied to the game device and driven into the game area.

この種の遊技機では、遊技媒体が流入口を介して貯留皿内へ払出される際に、払出された遊技媒体が貯留皿に与える衝撃を可及的に小さくするために、貯留皿の底面と遊技媒体の流入口の底辺との段差が可及的に小さくなる（貯留皿の底面と流入口の底辺とが略同じ高さ）ように配置されている（例えば、特許文献１の図２を参照）。In this type of gaming machine, when the game medium is paid out into the storage tray through the inflow port, the bottom surface of the storage tray is used in order to minimize the impact of the discharged game medium on the storage tray. And the bottom of the inlet of the game medium are arranged to be as small as possible (the bottom of the reservoir and the bottom of the inlet are substantially the same height) (for example, FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1). See).

しかしながら、従来の遊技機では、貯留皿の底面と流入口の底辺とが略一致しているので、貯留皿内に遊技媒体が多く貯留されて流入口を塞いだ状態となり、その状態で遊技媒体が払出されると、払出された遊技媒体が貯留皿内の遊技媒体を横から押すような形となる。これにより、貯留皿内の遊技媒体に横方向の力が作用して、遊技媒体同士が互いに押し合った状態となり、遊技媒体の流動性が低下して貯留皿内で遊技媒体が詰ってしまい、貯留皿内の遊技媒体が打込装置に供給されなくなってしまう問題があった。そのため、貯留皿内で遊技媒体が詰ると、遊技者自身が手で詰りを解消させているので、遊技中はずっと貯留皿内の遊技媒体に気を配らなければならず、煩わしく感じて遊技に対する興趣を低下させてしまう虞があった。However, in the conventional gaming machine, the bottom surface of the storage tray and the bottom of the inflow port are substantially coincident with each other, so that a lot of game media is stored in the storage tray and the inflow port is blocked, and the game medium is in that state. When the game is paid out, the paid-out game medium pushes the game medium in the storage tray from the side. Thereby, a lateral force acts on the game medium in the storage tray, the game media are pressed against each other, the fluidity of the game medium is reduced, and the game medium is clogged in the storage tray, There was a problem that the game medium in the storage tray would not be supplied to the driving device. Therefore, if the game medium is clogged in the storage tray, the player himself resolves the clogging by hand. There was a risk that the interest would be reduced.

そこで、本発明は上記の実情に鑑み、貯留皿内の遊技媒体を気にすることなく遊技を継続させて遊技者の遊技に対する興趣が低下するのを抑制することが可能な遊技機の提供を課題とするものである。Accordingly, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a gaming machine capable of suppressing a decrease in the interest of a player in the game by continuing the game without worrying about the game medium in the storage tray. It is to be an issue.
