Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine (generally also referred to as a “pachinko machine”) or a spinning-type gaming machine (generally also referred to as a “pachislot machine”).

  A gaming machine such as a pachinko machine receives a gaming medium in which a gaming medium such as a gaming ball is driven and a number of obstacle nails are planted in a predetermined gauge arrangement, and is arranged at a predetermined position in the gaming area. And a plurality of possible entrances (for example, a general winning opening, a variable winning opening, a starting opening, a variable starting opening, an accessory winning opening, a large winning opening, a V winning opening, etc.). A game medium that has been put into the game area is received at the receiving port, and a privilege for the player (for example, paying out a predetermined number of game media, generating an advantageous game state in which the player has an advantage, etc.) Is given and can entertain the player. The game area is provided with effect display means, and the player can be entertained by the effect image displayed on the effect display means.

  In addition, in the gaming machine, lottery is performed by accepting the game medium to the start opening as the receiving port, and according to the lottery result, the effect image indicating the lottery result is displayed on the effect display means, and the lottery is selected. If the lottery result is a special lottery result, it is advantageous for the player to receive a large number of game media by opening and closing a large winning opening as a variable winning opening or an accessory winning opening in a predetermined pattern. An advantageous gaming state (for example, a big hit game) is generated to entertain the player.

  As this type of gaming machine, a passage detection sensor for detecting passage of a game medium is provided in the upper part of the game area, and before the advantageous game state is generated, the player is hit by the game medium aiming at the passage detection sensor. A gaming machine has been proposed that prompts the operation to be started and triggers the generation of an advantageous gaming state triggered by the detection of the game medium by the passage detection sensor (for example, determines the type of the advantageous gaming state to be generated (for example, Patent Document 1). As a result, when the game medium that the player has aimed at the passage detection sensor passes through the passage detection sensor, the advantageous gaming state is started, so that the advantageous gaming state is strongly generated by the player's own technique. It can be reminiscent and can make the player more entertaining.

  However, in the technique of Patent Document 1, since the passage detection sensor is arranged in the upper part of the game area, when the game medium is driven into the game area with the aim of the passage detection sensor, the game medium is driven into the game area. As soon as it is inserted, it will reach a certain area of the passage detection sensor, and some players can not raise the expectation for the game medium going to the passage detection sensor, it will not be able to enjoy the game and reduce the interest There was a risk of it.

  Therefore, in view of the above situation, the present invention makes it possible to increase the player's expectation for the game by surely showing the movement of the game medium toward the passage detection sensor, and to suppress a decrease in interest. The issue is to provide a machine.

  Further, examples of the “variable winning a prize opening” include “large winning award opening”, “commodity winning award opening”, “variable start opening”, “variable general winning opening”, and the like. Furthermore, examples of the “privilege” include “payout of a predetermined number of game media”, “occurrence of an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player”, and the like.

  According to the configuration of the means 1, a gaming area in which a game medium is driven into the upper part by a player's operation, a frame-shaped front constituent member that divides the outer periphery of the gaming area, and a rear side of the front constituent member A flat gaming panel that is attached and divides the rear end of the gaming area, and is attached to the front of the gaming panel at the approximate center of the gaming area in the front view, and the distribution area of the game medium that has been laid is set to the left and right The divided center role is formed on either the left or right side of the outer periphery of the center role, and the distance for guiding the game medium is 1.5 to 3 with respect to the height for guiding the game medium downward. The guide passage that is doubled, the passage detection sensor that is disposed downstream of the guide passage and detects the passage of the game medium, and is visible from the player side through the center role, Changes as the media is driven An effect display means capable of displaying an effect image according to the game state, a start port arranged at a predetermined position in the game area and receiving a predetermined lottery result by receiving a game medium, and a game medium to the start port An effect display control means for displaying an effect image suggesting the lottery result on the effect display means according to the lottery result lottery by acceptance, and a game medium to the passage detection sensor according to the display of the effect image by the effect display control means In accordance with a predetermined pattern in accordance with a lottery result that is obtained by informing the player to inject the game, and by detecting the game medium by the passage detection sensor after the notification by the informing means and receiving the game medium in the start port. A game medium can be received by performing an opening and closing operation, a predetermined privilege is granted by receiving the game medium, and a variable winning opening arranged at a predetermined position in the game area, It is one that is equipped.

  As a result, when the game medium that has been driven into the upper part of the game area by the player's operation is distributed (flowed down) in the game area and received at the start port, a predetermined lottery result is drawn and the lottery An effect image suggesting the lottery result is displayed on the effect display means according to the result. Since the effect image is displayed, there is a possibility that the effect image may indicate a lottery result that the variable prize opening can be accepted, so whether or not the variable prize opening can be accepted, the player is thrilled. It is possible to entertain the effect image while increasing the player's expectation. Then, if the lottery result (winning) that the variable winning opening can be received is suggested by the effect image, the variable winning opening to which the privilege is given opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, and the game medium can be received. It is possible to allow a player to place a game medium aiming for a variable prize opening, and to increase the interest of the player by giving a privilege by accepting the game medium to the variable prize opening.

  Depending on the effect image displayed on the effect display means, the notification means prompts the game medium to be struck into the passage detection sensor, so that the passed detection sensor passes through the passage detection sensor. The game medium can be driven aiming at the guide passage provided on the upstream side. At this time, the distance (length) of the guide passage is set to 1.5 to 3 times the height, and the time until the game medium is reached after passing the game medium into the guide passage is compared with the height. Since it becomes longer, it is possible to surely show the player the movement of the game medium circulating in the guide passage, and by following the movement of the game medium circulating in the guide path, the game medium can be An expectation for passing through the passage detection sensor can be increased, and the player can be prevented from being entertained and the interest is reduced.

  After the notification by the notification means, when the game medium that has circulated through the guide passage passes through the passage detection sensor on the downstream side of the guide passage, the variable prize opening has a predetermined pattern regardless of the completion of the lottery result suggestion by the effect image. Since it opens and closes and a lot of benefits are given, it is possible to drive the game medium aiming at the variable winning opening following the game medium aiming at the passage detection sensor. It becomes possible to entertain continuously, and it is possible to suppress the decline of interest by making it hard to get tired.

  In addition, if the game medium is passed through the passage detection sensor after the notification by the notification means, the variable prize opening can be received. Therefore, the notification by the notification means can indicate to the player that a chance has arrived. It is possible to suppress a decrease in interest by raising the sense of expectation.

  Note that the guide passage may be arranged on the front side in the direction in which the game medium is to be driven into the game area in the center object, so that when the game medium is strongly driven, the game medium is inserted into the guide passage. It can be easily entered, and even a player who is not familiar with the game can entertain.

  In addition, a pair of wall bodies that are spaced apart from each other so that only one game medium can flow through the guide passage, and a direction in which the pair of wall bodies are spaced from the mutually facing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies , Each of the tips protrudes so as to be smaller than the outer diameter of the game medium, and a plurality of protrusions alternately arranged in the distribution direction of the game medium may be provided. Thereby, since the space | interval between the front-end | tips of the protrusion which protrudes alternately from the surface which a pair of wall body opposes is smaller than the outer diameter of a game medium, the front-end | tips of the protrusions which oppose each other The game media cannot move straight between them, and in order for the game media to circulate, it is necessary to move so as to wrap around each protrusion, and the game media is moved in the direction in which the pair of walls are separated from each other. Can be distributed in a zigzag manner. Therefore, when the game medium is distributed in a zigzag manner in the guide passage, the distribution distance (distribution time) of the game medium is lengthened, making it easy to see the movement of the game medium flowing through the guide path, and the movement of the game medium. In addition to being able to entertain, it is possible to increase the expectation that the game medium will pass through the passage detection sensor on the downstream side, and to suppress the player's interest in the game from being reduced.

  The guide passage further includes a first passage portion meandering left and right in front view, and a second passage portion communicating with the first passage portion and extending vertically along the outer periphery of the gaming area. Also good. Thus, in the guide passage, the game medium is first meandered to the left and right by the first passage portion, and then is caused to flow down by the second passage portion. Therefore, depending on the position where the game medium is distributed, It becomes possible to give a change to the movement of the medium, to make it difficult for the player to get bored with the game medium whose movement changes, and to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating by enjoying the movement of the game medium. Also, in this case, the side closer to the passage detection sensor is a second passage portion extending vertically, and the distribution speed of the game medium can be gradually increased as it approaches the passage detection sensor side. By increasing the speed of the game, it is possible to increase the expectation by making it feel tight and to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating by making the player entertained. Further, in this case, it is desirable to provide a plurality of protrusions protruding downward on the ceiling of the first passage portion in the guide passage. As a result, a plurality of protrusions are provided on the ceiling of the meandering first passage portion, and when the game medium dropped at the folded portion jumps to the ceiling side at the bottom surface, it abuts on the protrusions provided on the ceiling. Therefore, compared to the case where the ceiling is a flat surface, it is possible to prevent the game media from being smoothly reflected and to reflect the game media directly or upstream, thereby delaying the circulation of the game media. be able to. Therefore, since the speed of the game medium flowing through the first passage portion can be reduced, it is possible to make the movement of the game medium easy to see, and to realize a gaming machine capable of reliably exhibiting the above-described effects. be able to.

  Further, it further includes an expansion space that communicates with the downstream side of the guide passage and extends in the left-right direction by 2 to 4 times the outer diameter of the game medium, and the passage detection sensor is disposed at a predetermined position inside. Anyway. As a result, since the passage detection sensor disposed downstream of the guide passage is disposed in the expansion space that is widened to the left and right, the game medium that has entered the expansion space from the guide passage passes through the passage detection sensor. Or will not pass. As a result, the game medium that has circulated through the guide passage does not necessarily pass through the passage detection sensor. Therefore, the game medium that circulates through the guide passage may be throbbing depending on whether or not the game medium passes through the passage detection sensor. It is possible to increase the player's expectation and prevent the interest from deteriorating. In this case, since the game medium does not necessarily pass through the downstream passage detection sensor even if the game medium flows through the guide path, it is not possible to feel secure even if the game medium enters the guide path. Until the entered game medium reaches the expansion space, the player can focus attention on the movement of the game medium, and the movement of the game medium flowing through the guide passage can be surely shown and the movement of the game medium can be enjoyed. Can do.

Means 2: In the constitution of means 1,
“The guide passage is
A pair of walls separated by an interval at which only one game medium can circulate;
From the mutually opposing surfaces of the pair of walls, the tips protrude in the direction in which the pair of walls separate from each other so as to be smaller than the outer diameter of the game medium. And a plurality of protrusions arranged alternately in the distribution direction ”.

  Here, examples of the direction in which the pair of “walls” are separated include “front-rear direction”, “left-right direction”, “front-rear and left-right direction”, and the like.

  According to the configuration of the means 2, the pair of wall bodies are separated from each other by a pair of wall bodies that are spaced apart from each other in the guide passage so that only one game medium can flow therethrough. A plurality of protrusions that protrude in such a way that the distance between the tips in the direction of separation is smaller than the outer diameter of the game medium, and that are alternately arranged in the distribution direction of the game medium. It is a thing.

  Thereby, since the space | interval between the front-end | tips of the protrusion which protrudes alternately from the surface which a pair of wall body opposes is smaller than the outer diameter of a game medium, the front-end | tips of the protrusions which oppose each other The game media cannot move straight between them, and in order for the game media to circulate, it is necessary to move so as to wrap around each protrusion, and the game media is moved in the direction in which the pair of walls are separated from each other. Can be distributed in a zigzag manner. Therefore, when the game medium is distributed in a zigzag manner in the guide passage, the distribution distance (distribution time) of the game medium is lengthened, making it easy to see the movement of the game medium flowing through the guide path, and the movement of the game medium. In addition to being able to entertain, it is possible to increase the expectation that the game medium will pass through the passage detection sensor on the downstream side, and to suppress the player's interest in the game from being reduced.

  In addition, it is desirable that the pair of wall bodies be a pair of wall bodies that are separated from each other in the front-rear direction, so that the direction in which the guide passage extends is either the left-right direction or the up-down direction, A plurality of protrusions can be provided on the opposing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies.

Means 3: In the constitution of means 1 or means 2,

  Thus, in the guide passage, the game medium is first meandered to the left and right by the first passage portion, and then is caused to flow down by the second passage portion. Therefore, depending on the position where the game medium is distributed, It becomes possible to give a change to the movement of the medium, to make it difficult for the player to get bored with the game medium whose movement changes, and to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating by enjoying the movement of the game medium.

  In addition, the side close to the passage detection sensor is a second passage portion extending vertically, and the distribution speed of the game medium can be gradually increased as it approaches the passage detection sensor side, so the speed of the game medium is increased. Speeding up makes it feel tight and excitement of expectations, and can delight the player and prevent the interest from deteriorating.

Means 4: In the configuration of means 3,
“The guide passage is
It further includes a plurality of protrusions protruding from the ceiling of the first passage portion ”.

  By the way, in the first passage portion that extends downward while meandering from side to side, the game medium falls when turning back, so that the dropped game medium jumps on the bottom surface (floor surface) on the folded side and comes into contact with the ceiling. Will be distributed downstream. At this time, if the ceiling surface is flat, the game media that jumps up and abuts will be reflected downstream, so that the distribution of the game media proceeds smoothly, compared to the distance that the game media circulates. There is a risk that the distribution time will not be long.

  According to the configuration of the means 4, the ceiling of the first passage portion in the guide passage is provided with a plurality of protrusions protruding downward.

  As a result, a plurality of protrusions are provided on the ceiling of the meandering first passage portion, and when the game medium dropped at the folded portion jumps to the ceiling side at the bottom surface, it abuts on the protrusions provided on the ceiling. Therefore, compared to the case where the ceiling is a flat surface, it is possible to prevent the game media from being smoothly reflected and to reflect the game media directly or upstream, thereby delaying the circulation of the game media. be able to. Therefore, since the speed of the game medium flowing through the first passage portion can be reduced, it is possible to make the movement of the game medium easy to see, and to realize a gaming machine capable of reliably exhibiting the above-described effects. be able to.

Means 5: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 4,
“It further communicates with the downstream side of the guide passage, and further extends in the left-right direction 2-4 times larger than the outer diameter of the game medium, and further includes an expansion space in which the passage detection sensor is disposed at a predetermined position inside. It is characterized by being "

  According to the configuration of the means 5, the game machine communicates with the downstream side of the guide passage, and extends in the left-right direction by 2 to 4 times the outer diameter of the game medium, and the passage detection sensor is arranged at a predetermined position inside. The extended space is further provided.

  As a result, since the passage detection sensor disposed downstream of the guide passage is disposed in the expansion space that is widened to the left and right, the game medium that has entered the expansion space from the guide passage passes through the passage detection sensor. Or will not pass. As a result, the game medium that has circulated through the guide passage does not necessarily pass through the passage detection sensor. Therefore, the game medium that circulates through the guide passage may be throbbing depending on whether or not the game medium passes through the passage detection sensor. It is possible to increase the player's expectation and prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  In addition, even if the game medium flows through the guide passage, it does not necessarily pass through the downstream passage detection sensor. Until the medium reaches the expansion space, the player can pay attention to the movement of the game medium, and the movement of the game medium can be enjoyed by reliably showing the movement of the game medium flowing through the guide passage.

Thereby, in the guide passage, the game medium meanders left and right in the first first passage portion, and flows down in the second passage portion, so that the game medium depends on the position where the game medium circulates. It is possible to give a change to the movement of the game, to make it difficult for the player to get bored with the game medium that changes the movement, and to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating by enjoying the movement of the game medium. When the game medium circulates through the guide passage, the distance between the tips of the protrusions alternately protruding from the opposing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies is smaller than the outer diameter of the game medium. The game medium moves so as to wrap around each protrusion, and the game medium circulates in a zigzag direction in the front-rear direction in which the pair of wall bodies are separated in the guide passage. And by these structures, the distance which guides a game medium by a guidance path is 1.5 to 3 times the height, so that the time from hitting the game medium to the guidance path until reaching the passage detection sensor Since it becomes longer compared to the height, it is possible to reliably show the player the movement of the game medium circulating in the guide passage, and by following the movement of the game medium circulating in the guide path, It is possible to increase the expectation for the game medium to pass through the downstream passage detection sensor, and to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating by delighting the player.

  Then, the game medium that has circulated through the guide passage enters the expansion space that is widened to the left and right where the passage detection sensor is disposed, so that the game medium that has entered the expansion space from the guide passage passes through the passage detection sensor. Or will not pass. As a result, the game medium that has circulated through the guide passage does not necessarily pass through the passage detection sensor. Therefore, the game medium that circulates through the guide passage may be throbbing depending on whether or not the game medium passes through the passage detection sensor. Can increase the player's expectation.

  In addition, even if the game medium flows through the guide passage, it does not necessarily pass through the downstream passage detection sensor. Until the medium reaches the expansion space, the player can pay attention to the movement of the game medium, and the movement of the game medium can be enjoyed by reliably showing the movement of the game medium flowing through the guide passage.

  And, when the game medium passes the passage detection sensor, the variable prize opening opens and closes in a predetermined pattern regardless of completion of the lottery result suggestion by the effect image, and the opportunity to receive many benefits is obtained. Subsequent to the game medium being aimed at the sensor, the game medium can be aimed at the variable prize opening, allowing the player to be continuously entertained, making it harder to get bored and less interesting. Can be suppressed.

  In addition, if the game medium is passed through the passage detection sensor after the notification by the notification means, the variable prize opening can be received. Therefore, the notification by the notification means can indicate to the player that a chance has arrived. It is possible to suppress a decrease in interest by raising the sense of expectation.

  In addition, in the guide passage, the side closer to the passage detection sensor is a second passage portion extending vertically, and the distribution speed of the game medium can be gradually increased as it approaches the passage detection sensor side. By increasing the speed of the medium, it is possible to make the player feel tight and to increase his expectation, and to entertain the player and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  In addition, a plurality of protrusions are provided on the ceiling of the first passage portion meandering in the guide passage, and when the game medium dropped at the folded portion jumps to the ceiling side at the bottom, the protrusion provided on the ceiling Since it comes into contact, compared with the case where the ceiling is a flat surface, it is possible to prevent the game media from reflecting smoothly and to reflect the game media directly or upstream. Can be delayed. Therefore, since the speed of the game medium flowing through the first passage portion can be reduced, it is possible to make the movement of the game medium easy to see, and to realize a gaming machine capable of reliably exhibiting the above-described effects. be able to.

Since this also protrudes downward, a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A and the bottom surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B. In addition, the front end surfaces (upper end surfaces) of the four horizontal support pins 231b of the unit case 231 coincide with the bottom face of the counterbore of the screw hole 243c of the base member 243, and upward of the touch unit 220B with respect to the horizontal support pins 231b. Movement is regulated by a flat washer on the head of a screw 227 screwed into the upper end of the lateral support pin 231b. Further, the tapered portion 231 i formed on the upper end side of the lateral support pin 231 b and the tapered portion 243 d formed on the lower end side of the screw hole 243 c of the base member 243 are separated from each other.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 33, in the rendering operation unit 220, the upper surface of the damper 222 inserted into the front support pin 231c of the unit case 231 is slightly smaller than the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a on the side of the lateral support pin 231b. Projects upward. Further, since a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 and the lower surface of the lower case 240, the upper surface of the damper 222 inserted into the front support pin 231c of the unit case 231 and the lower A gap is also formed between the lower surface of the case 240. Further, a gap is also formed between the upper surface of the central support protrusion 231 d of the unit case 231 and the lower surface of the lower case 240. That is, the touch unit 220B is attached to the attachment base unit 220A with the lower surface floating in the air by the dampers 222 inserted into the left and right lateral support pins 231b.

  Further, the rendering operation unit 220 is constricted downward in the unit case 231 in which the touch unit 220B is attached from above in a pyramid-shaped cylindrical receiving portion 230c constricted downward in the attachment base 230 of the attachment base unit 220A. The lower end of the full pyramidal receiving projection 231e is inserted. A slight gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c and the outer peripheral wall of the receiving protrusion 231e. Thus, in a normal state, only the vicinity of the outer periphery of the unit case 231 is attached to the attachment base 230 with the inside of the unit case 231 (the center side of the housing recess 231a) floating in the air.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21 and the like, the production operation unit 220 has a linear upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b of the linear light emitting lens member 237 along the rear side close to the game area 5a in the touch unit 220B ( It is exposed in a band shape. The length of the upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b is about 2/3 of the length of the rear side of the touch unit 220B. An upper dish rear decoration member 236 is disposed on the rear side of the upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b exposed along the rear side of the touch unit 220B. Further, an upper dish ball removal button 239 is arranged on the right side of the upper dish rear decoration member 236 in front view. Further, a button unit 220C is arranged on the left side of the touch unit 220B when viewed from the front.

  The effect operation unit 220 can present various effects to the player in accordance with the game state that is changed by driving a game ball into the game area 5a. For example, by displaying an image on the upper liquid crystal display device 244 of the touch unit 220B, an image (effect image) can be presented to the player through the transparent touch panel 246 and can be enjoyed.

  As an image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244, an image imitating an operation button is displayed, and by allowing touch detection by the sensor sheet 246b of the touch panel 246 to be accepted, the image of the image can be displayed to the player. The operation buttons can be operated, and an effect using the touch panel 246 can be enjoyed. The image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 at the time of production using the touch panel 246 is not limited to the operation button, and various images can be displayed.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 220, the touch unit 220B is supported in a state of being lifted from the unit case 231 by the plurality of dampers 222, and therefore the touch unit 220B is operated by operating the vibration device 242 according to the gaming state. Can be vibrated. When the touch panel 246 is produced, the touch panel 246 (touch unit 220B) is vibrated by the vibration device 242 so that the vibration of the vibration device 242 is applied to the finger or hand of the player who is in contact with the touch panel 246. Even if the operation button of the image is operated to the player, the player can be surprised by illusioning that the actual operation button is operated. It is possible to suppress the interest from deteriorating by making the player entertain.

  Further, since the production operation unit 220 includes the button unit 220C on the left side of the front view of the touch unit 220B, the player can press the upper plate production button 257 according to the gaming state, and the upper plate production button 257 can be operated. You can entertain the operation. More specifically, the image operation buttons on the touch panel 246 only have a touch on the touch panel 246, so that the operation feeling is less than that of the actual operation buttons. However, the upper plate effect button 257 is actually pressed. Therefore, the operation of the upper plate effect button 257 does not give a sense of incongruity, the operation of the upper plate effect button 257 can be comfortably enjoyed, and the decrease in interest for the game can be suppressed. .

  Since the production operation unit 220 is arranged at a portion where the upper plate 201 is provided in the plate unit 200 bulging forward, the game can be performed even during production using the touch unit 220B or the button unit 220C. There is a possibility that a person may hit the touch unit 220B or the like from above. On the other hand, in the rendering operation unit 220, the touch unit 220B is supported by the damper 222 in a state of floating from the lower unit case 231. Therefore, even if the touch unit 220B is hit from above, the elasticity of the damper 222 The impact can be absorbed to some extent by force. More specifically, when an impact (load) is applied from above when the touch unit 220B is hit or pressed, it is transmitted to the damper 222 in which the left and right lateral support pins 231b are inserted, and the touch unit 220B is lowered. However, the damper 222 is compressed. By compressing the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pins 231b, the impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed.

  Further, when the touch unit 220B is lowered by the impact, the lower surface of the lower case 240 comes into contact with the upper end of the damper 222 in which the front support pin 231c is inserted, and is supported by the front support pin 231c as the touch unit 220B is lowered. The damper 222 is compressed downward. Accordingly, the impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed by the damper 222 supported by the front support pin 231c in addition to the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pin 231b.

  When the touch unit 220B is further lowered by an impact acting on the touch unit 220B, the lower surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B comes into contact with the bottom surfaces of the left and right sides of the housing recess 231a and the upper surface of the central support protrusion 231d. Thereby, the impact from the touch unit 220B directly acts on the unit case 231 from the touch unit 220B without passing through the plurality of dampers 222.

  Further, when the touch unit 220B is lowered, the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 is bent by the load from the center support protrusion 231d so that the center moves downward. The impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed by the elastic force due to the bending of the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a. By bending the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a, the pair of receiving projections 231e projecting downward from the lower side of the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a is lowered. Then, when the receiving projection 231e is further lowered by the impact from the touch unit 220B, the lower end side of the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e comes into contact with the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c of the mounting base 230, and from the touch unit 220B. The impact is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230.

  Since the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c are each formed in a pyramid shape that narrows downward, the receiving projection 231e is directed to the cylindrical receiving portion 230c (on the mounting base 230 side). The transmitted load is distributed and transmitted in a direction along the bottom surface of the attachment side receiving portion 230a of the attachment base 230 and a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface. As described above, since the structure that absorbs the impact applied to the touch unit 220B before the transmission to the mounting base 230 is arranged in layers, the impact applied to the touch unit 220B is sufficiently absorbed. The touch unit 220B, the unit case 231, the mounting base 230 and the like can be made difficult to be damaged by the impact.

  In addition, the production operation unit 220 has a linear light emitting portion of a linear light emitting lens member 237 that extends along the outer peripheral edge on the rear side of the touch unit 220B by the peripheral LED 235b of the post-upper decorative board 235 according to the gaming state. The upper end of 237b can be emitted linearly. As a result, the player's interest can be attracted to the touch unit 220B, and the image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 in the touch unit 220B, the touch effect using the touch panel 246, etc. can be enjoyed and the interest is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Further, depending on the gaming state, the decoration LED 235a on the back plate decoration board 235 is used to light-decorate the back plate decoration member 236 arranged on the rear side of the touch panel 220B (the rear side from the linear light emitting portion 237b). be able to. By decorating the back plate decoration member 236 with light emission, the player's interest is attracted to the effect operation unit 220 such as the touch unit 220B in the same manner as the light emission of the linear light emitting portion 237b of the linear light emitting lens member 237. It is possible to entertain the presentation presented by the presentation operation unit 220 and suppress the interest from deteriorating.

  Further, the touch unit 220B including the upper plate liquid crystal substrate 241 and the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 is attached to an upper plate lower covering portion 262, which will be described later, of the plate unit cover 260 by the mounting base 230 and the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A. The waterproof seal 248 is pasted on the outer peripheral surface on the rear side of the touch unit 220B. Thereby, even if water (water droplets) condensed on the surface of the upper plate body 212 or the game ball by touching the outside air in the upper plate 201 flows to the lower side of the upper plate 201 (on the upper plate lower covering portion 262). In addition, it is possible to prevent the condensed water from entering the touch unit 220B, and it is possible to prevent the touch unit 220B from generating a malfunction.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 33, the post-upper decoration board 235 for decorating the post-upper decoration member 236 and the linear light-emitting lens member 237 is arranged at a position higher than the bottom surface of the upper plate 201. Without being exposed to water droplets condensed on the upper plate 201, it is possible to prevent problems such as short-circuiting and corrosion in the post-upper decorative substrate 235.

  In addition, since the production operation unit 200 includes the touch panel 246, in addition to the production by the image, the production can be performed by causing the player to operate the touch panel 246, and the player can be entertained by various productions. By causing the player to operate the touch panel 246, it is possible to participate in the production, and it is possible to actively entertain the production for the player and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  Further, the linear light emitting lens member 237 (linear light emitting portion 237b) arranged along the outer peripheral edge on the rear side of the touch unit 220B transfers the game ball in the upper plate 201 to the ball feeding unit 540 (ball launching device 680). An upper dish ball removal button 239 for operating the upper dish ball removal unit 310 is disposed between the guide passage section 212a and the guide passage section 212a. In other words, the linear light-emitting lens member 237 is provided in the vicinity of a place where the player confirms the game ball necessary for the game, and the linear light-emitting lens member 237 is disposed at a position that the player cares about even during the game. Therefore, the light emission of the linear light-emitting lens member 237 can be noticed, the player's interest is attracted to the touch unit 220B, and the effect by the touch unit 220B (the effect image by the upper liquid crystal display device 244, the touch panel 246 The timing of the touch operation, etc.) can be easily noticed.

  In addition, the touch unit 220B including the upper plate liquid crystal substrate 241 and the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 is mounted on the upper surface of the upper lower plate covering portion 262 of the plate unit cover 260 by the mounting base 230 and the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A. Since the waterproof seal 248 is affixed to the outer peripheral surface on the rear side of the touch unit 220B, the upper plate 201 touches the outside air on the upper plate body 212 or the surface of the game ball. Even if condensed water (water droplets) flows below the upper plate 201 (on the upper plate lower covering portion 262), it is possible to prevent the condensed water from entering the touch unit 220B, and the touch unit 220B. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of problems in

  Further, as shown in FIG. 33, the post-upper decoration board 235 for decorating the post-upper decoration member 236 and the linear light-emitting lens member 237 is arranged at a position higher than the bottom surface of the upper plate 201. Without being exposed to water droplets condensed on the upper plate 201, it is possible to prevent problems such as short-circuiting and corrosion in the post-upper decorative substrate 235.

  Further, in the rendering operation unit 220 of the dish unit 200, when the touch unit 220B having the touch panel 246 and the upper dish liquid crystal display device 244 is vibrated by the vibration device 242, a plurality of (two) touch units 220B are provided. Since it is attached to the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A with the damper 222 interposed therebetween, the vibration of the touch unit 220B (vibration device 242) is absorbed and attenuated by the damper 222 and transmitted to the mounting base unit 220A. Thus, the vibration of the mounting base unit 220A can be reduced. Accordingly, when the touch unit 220B of the touch unit 220B is touch-operated, if the touch unit 220B is vibrated by the vibration device 242, only the touch unit 220B vibrates, so that the player can touch the touch panel of the touch unit 220B. The operation feeling of H.246 can be sufficiently provided, and the player can enjoy the touch operation of the touch panel 246 to suppress the interest from being lowered.

  Further, since the touch unit 220B can be vibrated by the vibration device 242, in addition to the operational feeling of the touch panel 246, the player is surprised by the vibration of the touch unit 220B, or the timing of operating the touch panel 246 is suggested. It is possible to entertain an operation effect by the touch panel 246 of the touch unit 220B and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  Furthermore, since the touch unit 220B is supported by the plurality of dampers 222 from the lower side, even if an impact or a load is applied to the touch unit 220B by hitting or pressing the touch unit 220B from the upper side, the damper 222 Since it is possible to absorb the impact, etc., it is possible to reduce the damage of the touch unit 220B, the mounting base unit 220A, etc. due to the impact, etc., and the game is interrupted by the damage of the touch unit 220B, etc. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player's interest from deteriorating.

  Further, since the touch panel 246 is operated by the touch unit 220B, the player touches the touch panel 246 for a longer time than when the player presses the button. When the touch unit 220B is vibrated by the vibration device 242 when the 246 is touched, the vibration can be reliably transmitted to the player's finger (hand). Therefore, since the player can feel that the touch panel 246 is operated by vibrating the player's finger, a sufficient operational feeling can be given, and the player can enjoy operating the touch panel 246. Moreover, it is possible to suppress the interest from deteriorating.

  In addition, by changing the image displayed on the upper liquid crystal display device 244 of the touch unit 220B, the type of touch operation (button) can be easily changed, and it becomes possible to deal with various effects. It is possible to prevent the player from getting bored with a variety of performances and to reduce interest. Furthermore, since the touch unit 220B includes the touch panel 246, compared to the conventional push button, touch, tap (single tap, double tap), drag, flick, pinch (pinch out, pinch in), swipe, touch and touch Various operations such as holding can be performed. Thereby, more various operation effects can be performed and it can suppress that a player is entertained and an interest falls.

  Further, the touch unit 220B is attached to the attachment base unit 220A (unit case 231) so as not to move upward and to move downward. The touch unit 220B is elastically (biased) by a plurality of dampers 222. Is pressed against the upper moving end, the touch unit 220B can be made difficult to move during the operation of the touch panel 246, and the operation of the touch panel 246 can be easily performed accurately. Further, since the touch unit 220B becomes difficult to move, it is possible to make the player think that the touch unit 220B does not move, and the touch unit 220B that was thought not to move does not vibrate according to the gaming state. The player can be surprised by vibrating with the device 242, and the player can be prevented from being entertained and the interest is reduced.

  Further, since the touch unit 220B is vibrated by a plurality of vibration devices 242 separated from each other, for example, by driving the vibration device 242 at a position close to the part operated by the player on the touch panel 246, it is strong. Vibration can be transmitted. Therefore, when the player operates a position different from the position to be operated on the touch panel 246, the vibration transmitted to the player is different, so that the player is informed that the operation is wrong. It is possible to allow the player to perform a correct operation, and it is possible to entertain an operation effect using the touch panel 246 and suppress a decrease in interest.

  In addition, since a plurality of vibration devices 242 separated from each other are provided, a resonance phenomenon can be generated at an arbitrary position on the touch panel 246 by appropriately controlling the frequency and intensity of vibration of each vibration device 242. Can do. Therefore, by controlling each vibration device 242 so that a resonance phenomenon occurs at an arbitrary position operated by the player, it is possible to give a further operational feeling or greatly surprise the player, It is possible to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating by delighting the player.

  Further, when the touch unit 220B is hit from the upper side or strongly pressed and an impact or a load acts on the touch unit 220B, the left and right ends of the touch unit 220B are attached to the unit case 231 with the damper 222 interposed therebetween. For this reason, the shock from the upper side or the like can be absorbed (attenuated) to some extent by the bending of the damper 222 and the touch unit 220B and transmitted to the unit case 231 side. Further, on the unit case 231 side, since the outer edge of the unit case 231 is attached to the lower mounting base 230, an impact or load from the touch unit 220 </ b> B side via the unit case 231 is applied to the mounting base 230. Can be widely dispersed and transmitted. At this time, the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e projecting downward from the lower surface of the unit case 231 and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c in which the receiving projection 231e is inserted on the bottom surface of the attachment side receiving portion 230a of the attachment base 230. Since a gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall and the unit case 231 bends downward due to an impact or load from the touch unit 220B, the receiving projection 231e and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other. Thus, an impact or the like is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230, and the impact or the like is transmitted to the mounting base 230 in a state further attenuated by the bending of the unit case 231. Since the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c are narrowed downward, when the receiving protruding portion 231e and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other, the receiving projection 231e (unit case) 231) The impact, load, etc. from the side are transmitted in an oblique direction with respect to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230, and the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230 and along the bottom surface. As a result, the force in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface (downward) that causes the mounting base 230 to bend is reduced and transmitted to the mounting base 230 side. Therefore, even if the touch unit 220B is hit from the upper side or strongly pressed, the impacts and the like can be effectively attenuated by the plurality of dampers 222, the unit case 231, and the mounting base 230. The attachment base unit 220A can be prevented from being damaged.

Further, in a state where the center accessory 2500 is assembled to the game board 5, the chance outlet 2507 is positioned immediately above the first start port 2002 of the start port unit 2100. Thus, when a game ball is released from the chance exit 2507, it is accepted into the first start port 2002 with a very high probability.

  The center accessory 2500 extends vertically along the right side of the front protrusion 2501 and communicates with a guide passage 2510 through which a game ball can circulate from the upper end side and a lower end of the guide passage 2510. An expansion space 2520 having a predetermined size that allows a game ball to circulate and having a lower end opened downward, and a game medium that is disposed in the vicinity of the upper end of the guide passage 2510 and circulates in the guide passage 2510 are detected. A possible intrusion detection sensor 2530. The center accessory 2500 is provided with a gate sensor 2005 in an expansion space 2520 (see FIGS. 50 and 51).

  As shown in FIG. 51 and the like, the guide passage 2510 of the center accessory 2500 has a first passage portion 2511 whose upper end is open on the outer peripheral upper surface of the front protrusion 2501 and meanders left and right, and a first passage portion 2511. A second passage portion 2512 having a lower end communicating with an upper end of the expansion space 2520 and extending vertically, and a front end and a rear end of the first passage portion 2511 and the second passage portion 2512. And a pair of plate-like wall bodies 2513 which are separated from each other at an interval S1 in which only one game ball can be circulated, and a pair of wall bodies 2513 are connected to each other so that a game ball can circulate. The plate-like passage wall 2514 forming the one passage portion 2511 and the second passage portion 2512 and the distance S2 between the front and rear ends of the pair of wall bodies 2513 from the mutually facing surfaces is smaller than the outer diameter of the game ball. Also gets smaller And Uniotto each of the plurality of projections which are arrayed alternately to the flow direction of the game ball protrudes 2515, and a.

  In addition, the guide passage 2510 includes a plurality of protrusions 2516 projecting downward from the ceiling of the first passage portion 2511 and a front wall body 2513 of the pair of wall bodies 2513 in the middle of the second passage portion 2512. A notch 2517 that allows the game ball to pass therethrough, and a bulge 2518 that bulges forward at the same distance as the protrusion 2515 in a portion facing the notch in the rear wall body 2513, It has.

  The entry detection sensor 2530 is disposed above the center in the first passage portion 2511. In the state where the center accessory 2500 is assembled to the game board 5, the upper end side of the first passage portion 2511 (guidance passage 2510) opens directly below the stop portion 1006 forming a part of the outer periphery of the game area 5a. ing. As a result, all the game balls that have been driven into the upper part on the right side from the center in the left-right direction of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 5a enter the guide path 2510.

  The second passage portion 2512 extends vertically along the outer periphery of the game area 5a (the right rail 1005 of the front component member 1000) in a state where the center accessory 2500 is attached to the game board 5. And as for the 2nd channel | path part 2512, the site | part (front end right end side) along the right rail 1005 of the front structural member 1000 is open | released rightward. The second passage portion 2512 is opened downward after the lower portion is bent leftward. The distance S1 between the pair of wall bodies 2513 is 1.2 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball. In addition, the front-rear distance S2 between the tips of the protrusions 2515 that protrude from the mutually opposing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies 2513 is 0.7 to 0.9 times the outer diameter of the game ball. ing.

  The expansion space 2520 of the center accessory 2500 expands to the left and right at a width 3.5 to 5 times the outer diameter of the game ball, and the game ball is directly below the lower end opening of the guide passage 2510 (second passage portion 2512). A gate sensor 2005 is provided at a position slightly apart from the same distance as the outer diameter of the. Thus, when the game ball enters the expansion space 2520 through the guide passage 2510, it passes through the gate sensor 2005 with a very high probability.

  The expansion space 2520 is partitioned into three passages, a left passage 2521, a middle passage 2522, and a right passage 2523, which are arranged on the left and right sides of the portion where the gate sensor 2005 is provided. Thus, when the game ball that has entered the expansion space 2520 from the guide passage 2510 passes through the left side of the gate sensor 2005, it is discharged downward through the left passage 2521. When the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, it passes through the middle passage 2522. When it is discharged downward and passes the right side of the gate sensor 2005, it is discharged downward through the right passage 2523. In a state in which the center accessory 2500 is assembled to the game board 5, the lower end of the middle passage 2522 of the expansion space 2520 is located immediately above the passage entrance 2311 in the attacker unit 2300. As a result, when a game ball that has entered the expansion space 2520 passes through the gate sensor 2005, it enters the passage entrance 2311 of the attacker unit 2300 with a very high probability and is sent onto the second start port 2003.

  The guide passage 2510 of the center accessory 2500 has an interval between the tips of the protrusions 2515 that alternately protrude from the opposing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies 2513 smaller than the outer diameter of the game ball. Therefore, the game ball cannot move straight between the tips of the opposing projecting portions 2515, and the game ball moves so as to go around each of the projecting portions 2515, so that the pair of wall bodies 2513 The game balls can be distributed in a zigzag manner in the front-rear direction which is separated. Further, since the first passage 2511 of the guide passage 2510 is meandering left and right, the first passage 2511 has a flow in which the game ball meanders left and right while moving in a zigzag manner.

  In addition to the plurality of protrusions 2515, the second passage portion 2512 has a bulging portion 2518 protruding forward from the rear wall body 2513, and a game ball on the front side of the bulging portion 2518 in the front wall body 2513. And the cutout portion 2517 through which the glass plate 564 is assembled, and in the state assembled in the pachinko machine 1, the glass plate 564 is positioned immediately in front of the notch portion 2517, so that the game ball that has flowed down the second passage portion 2512 However, after a part of the bulging portion 2518 enters the cutout portion 2517, the flow again flows down in the second passage portion 2512. That is, when the game ball enters the notch 2517, the flow of the game ball temporarily stops.

  For the reasons described above, in this embodiment, the distribution distance of the game balls that circulate through the guide passage 2510 is 1.5 to 3 times the height of the guide passage 2510. While being able to lengthen, it can slow down compared with the case where a distribution speed is dropped. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier to see the game balls flowing through the guide passage 2510 and to enjoy the movement of the game balls flowing through the guide passage 2510.

The falling cam 3113 is provided with a detection piece 3113b that protrudes in a flat plate shape from the front to the front and is detected by the cam detection sensor 3117.

  In the state in which the drop effect unit 3100 is assembled, the drop cam 3113 has the center of the shaft portion 3113a located on the left side of the bulging portion 3105c of the slider 3105 in a front view. In the outer peripheral surface of the falling cam 3113, the distance from the center of the shaft 3113a at the portion closest to the shaft 3113a is from the center of the shaft 3113a to the left end of the bulging portion 3105c (cam contact surface 3105d). The distance from the center of the shaft portion 3113a in the part farthest from the shaft portion 3113a is the left-right distance from the center of the shaft portion 3113a to the left side of the right end of the cam contact surface 3105d. . Thereby, the drop cam 3113 is configured such that a substantially semicircular portion on the outer peripheral surface can come into contact with the cam contact surface 3105 d of the slider 3105.

  Further, the fall cam 3113 is in a state in which the detection piece 3113b is inserted into the rotation restriction groove 3102b of the base cover 3102 in a state where the drop effect unit 3100 is assembled. Accordingly, the rotation range of the drop cam 3113 is restricted by the detection piece 3113b coming into contact with the circumferential end of the rotation restriction groove 3102b extending in an arc shape by the rotation of the drop cam 3113.

  In a normal state, the fall effect unit 3100 of the present embodiment has a fall decoration body 3106 attached to the right end side of the slider 3105 (slider body 3105a) positioned substantially above the central liquid crystal display device 1500 in a front view. In this state, the upper decoration body of the upper effect unit 3200 is inserted between the base portion 3106a and the claw portion 3106c of the falling decoration body 3106. Therefore, only the three claw portions 3106c of the fall decoration body 3106 are visible from the front side (player side) (see FIG. 47 and the like).

  In this normal state, as shown in FIG. 55A, the slider 3105 is positioned near the upper ends of the first shaft 3103 and the second shaft 3104, and the outer peripheral surface of the drop cam 3113 is placed on the cam contact surface 3105d. Are in contact. Further, the rack member 3108 is in the lowest lowered state. In a normal state, the detection piece 3105e of the slider 3105, the detection piece 3108c of the rack member 3108, and the detection piece 3113b of the drop cam 3113 are respectively provided to the slider detection sensor 3115, the rack detection sensor 3116, and the cam detection sensor 3117. It has been detected.

  More specifically, in a normal state, the drop cam 3113 has a state in which the detection piece 3113b is positioned immediately above the shaft portion 3113a and a portion extending as a string on the outer peripheral surface extends obliquely to the upper right. The portion of the outer peripheral surface that is farthest from the center of the shaft portion 3113 a is in contact with the cam contact surface 3105 d of the slider 3105. In the slider 3105, the cam contact surface 3105 d is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the dropping cam 3113 from the upper side by its own weight. The slider 3105 is restricted from moving downward by contact with the outer peripheral surface of the drop cam 3113.

  From this normal state, when the drop effect motor 3112 is driven to rotate the drop cam 3113 clockwise as viewed from the front, the outer surface of the drop cam 3113 is in contact with the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105. Will move. Then, as the falling cam 3113 rotates clockwise, the distance from the rotation center of the dropping cam 3113 (the center of the shaft portion 3113a) to the portion in contact with the cam contact surface 3105d decreases. Therefore, the slider 3105 slides downward via the cam contact surface 3105d that is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the drop cam 3113 (see FIG. 55B).

  When the fall cam 3113 is further rotated clockwise, the detection piece 3113b of the fall cam 3133 comes into contact with the right end of the rotation restricting groove 3102b of the base cover 3102 and falls further in the clockwise direction. The cam 3113 is restricted from rotating. Even in this state, since the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the drop cam 3113, the slider 3105 does not slide (fall) further downward.

  In the fall effect unit 3100, the fall cam 3113 is rotated in the normal position (position shown in FIG. 55 (a)) and in the clockwise direction in front view (FIG. 55 (b)) according to the gaming state. The fall decoration body 3106 can be vibrated up and down (oscillated) via the slider 3105 by reciprocatingly rotating between the first position and the second position.

  On the other hand, when the fall effect motor 3112 is driven from the normal state to rotate the fall cam 3113 counterclockwise when viewed from the front, the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the drop cam 3113. The part that is present moves to the left end side of the cam contact surface 3105d. Then, when the outer peripheral surface of the dropping cam 3113 moves to the left side of the left end of the cam contact surface 3105d, the restriction of the downward sliding of the slider 3105 is released, and the slider 3105 falls together with the falling decorative body 3106 by their own weight. (See FIG. 56 (c)).

  The slider 3105 and the falling decorative body 3106 dropped along the first shaft 3103 and the second shaft 3104 from the normal state are further increased by the stopper block 3105f of the slider 3105 coming into contact with the stopper portion 3102a of the base cover 3102. Is stopped, and the stop is stopped (see FIG. 56C).

  In a state where the fall decoration body 3106 is dropped, the fall decoration body 3106 is located at the center of the front surface of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 from the position on the front surface of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. Becomes visible from the player side (see FIG. 57).

  When returning the fall decoration body 3106 (slider 3105) from the dropped state to the normal state, the fall return motor 3111 is driven to raise the rack member 3108. Since the rack member 3108 is attached to the first shaft 3103 below the slider 3105 so that the rack member 3108 can be moved up and down, the upper surface of the rack member 3108 comes into contact with the lower surface of the slider 3105. When the rack member 3108 is further raised by driving the fall return motor 3111 with the upper surface in contact with the lower surface of the slider 3105, the slider 3105 (falling decorative body 3106) rises together with the rack member 3108 (FIG. 56 ( see d)).

  Thereafter, when the detection piece 3105e of the slider 3105 that rises together with the rack member 3108 is detected by the slider detection sensor 3115, the drive of the fall return motor 3111 stops and the rise of the rack member 3108 (slider 3105) stops. When the fall effect motor 3112 is driven to rotate the fall cam 3113 clockwise and the detection piece 3113b of the fall cam 3113 is detected by the cam detection sensor 3117, the drive of the fall effect motor 3112 is stopped and the fall cam 3113 stops at the normal position.

  Then, the fall return motor 3111 is driven in the reverse direction to lower the rack member 3108. When the rack member 3108 is lowered, the slider 3105 (falling decorative body 3106) is lowered together with the rack member 3108, the cam contact surface 3105d of the slider 3105 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the drop cam 3113, and the slider 3105 is lowered. Stop. Thereafter, only the rack member 3108 is lowered, and when the rack member 3108 is lowered to the normal position, the drive of the drop effect motor 3111 is stopped. As a result, the normal state is restored.

  Note that it is desirable to provide a shock absorbing member made of a polymer elastic body on at least one of the lower surface of the stopper block 3105f of the slider 3105 and the upper surface of the stopper portion 3102a of the base cover 3102. Thereby, the impact when the slider 3105 (falling decoration body 3106) is dropped can be reduced, and the fall effect unit 3100 can be made difficult to be damaged.

  The fall effect unit 3100 of the present embodiment swings the fall decoration body 3106 up and down by reciprocatingly rotating the fall cam 3113 in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front according to the gaming state. Can do. As a result, the falling decorative body 3106 is shaken as a forward swing of the falling decorative body 3106, so that the player can be expected to expect the falling decorative body 3106 to fall. Then, by rotating the fall cam 3113 counterclockwise when viewed from the front to freely drop the fall decoration body 3106, it is possible to give the player a stronger impact than the conventional descent effect of the decoration body that moves up and down, It is possible to suppress a decrease in interest by surprise the player.

  In addition, before dropping the fall decoration body 3106, the fall decoration body 3106 can be swung up and down by reciprocating rotation of the fall cam 3113. Therefore, compared to the case where the fall decoration body 3106 is suddenly dropped, Before the fall decoration body 3106 falls, it becomes possible to attract the player's interest to the fall decoration body 3106 to attract attention, and it is possible to reliably show the fall decoration body 3106 starting to fall. It is possible to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating.

  The upper decorative body 3210 of the upper effect unit 3200 has substantially the same left and right length as the left and right lengths of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. In addition, the upper decorative body 3210 is positioned between the base 3106a and the claw portion 3106c of the falling decorative body 3106 that is rising in a normal state. Therefore, when the falling decorative body 3106 is in a normal state (not falling), the falling decorative body 3106 is prevented from rotating downward (see FIG. 47 and the like).

  In the state where the fall decoration body 3106 is dropped, the upper effect unit 3200 is rotated counterclockwise around the right end side by the upper effect drive unit, so that the left end side moves to the front side of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. As a result, the entire left side is low and inclined (see FIG. 58). The upper effect unit 3200 can be rotated together with the fall of the fall decoration body 3106 to show the player a movable effect that is torn by the nail of the fall decoration body 3106 and dropped.

[3-7c. Shutter production unit]
The shutter effect unit 3300 is arranged on the upper side of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 in a front view and can move downward, and is disposed on the lower side of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 in a front view and can move upward. A flat plate-shaped lower shutter 3320. The left and right lengths of the upper shutter 3310 and the lower shutter 3320 are slightly shorter than the left and right lengths of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. The upper shutter 3310 and the lower shutter 3320 are partially decorated with translucency on the front surface. Further, the upper shutter 3310 and the lower shutter 3320 include a plurality of LEDs, and can be decorated by emitting light appropriately.

  In the normal state, the shutter effect unit 3300 is in a state where the upper shutter 3310 and the lower shutter 3320 cannot be viewed from the front (player side) (see FIG. 47 and the like). When the upper shutter 3310 is moved downward and the lower shutter 3320 is moved upward according to the gaming state, the shutter effect unit 3300 moves the lower end of the upper shutter 3310 and the lower portion at the approximate center of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. The upper end of the shutter 3320 comes into contact with the upper shutter 3310 and the lower shutter 3320, and the front surface of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is closed (see FIG. 59).

  When the upper shutter 3310 and the lower shutter 3320 are in contact with each other (closed), the respective decorations are formed so as to form one continuous decoration. In the closed state, the front surface of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is covered, and the displayed effect image can be made invisible from the player side. Thereby, by closing the front surface of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 by the upper shutter 3310 and the lower shutter 3320, the decoration (atmosphere) in the frame (in the game area 5a) of the center accessory 2500 can be greatly changed. It can surprise the player.

[3-7d. Right production unit]
The right production unit 3400 is arranged on the right side of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 within the frame of the front view center accessory 2500, and is a right decoration in which the head of a predetermined character according to the concept of the pachinko machine 1 is crushed three-dimensionally The body 3410 and the right decoration drive unit (shown in the figure) attached to the right portion of the back box 3010 as viewed from the front when the right decoration body 3410 is moved to the left and right according to the gaming state and swung around the axis extending to the left and right. (Omitted). The right decorative body 3410 includes a plurality of LEDs, and can be decorated with light emission by appropriately emitting each LED.

  In the normal state, the right effect unit 3400 has the right decorative body 3410 positioned on the right side when viewed from the front of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 (see FIG. 47 and the like). In the right effect unit 3400, the right decorative body 3410 moves leftward from the normal state and moves to the front side of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 according to the gaming state, and can swing up and down ( (See FIG. 60). As a result, the right decorative body 3410 moves to the front side of the central liquid crystal display device 1500, so that the player's interest can be attracted to the right decorative body 3410, and the right decorative body 3410 swings up and down so as to swing its head. The movement of the right decorative body 3410 can be enjoyed by swinging.

[3-7e. Lower production unit]
As shown in FIG. 47 and the like, the lower effect unit 3500 can rotate both a columnar lower decorative body 3510 extending left and right along the lower side of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 in a front view, and both ends of the lower decorative body 3510. And a lower effect drive unit (not shown) attached to the lower part of the back box 3010 by rotating the lower decorative body 3510 according to the gaming state.

  In the normal state, the lower effect unit 3500 stops rotating, and the lower decorative body 3510 rotates around the axis extending left and right according to the gaming state, and a specific portion in the circumferential direction is moved forward (player). Stop towards the side). Thereby, the arrival of a chance etc. can be suggested with respect to a player, and a player's sense of expectation can be raised.

[4. Game contents]
Next, the game content by the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game ball stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 is obtained when the player rotates the handle lever 504 of the handle unit 500 disposed in the lower right corner of the front surface of the door frame 3. However, the game board 5 is driven into the upper portion of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002, and the game with the game ball is started. The game ball that has been driven into the upper part of the game area 5a flows down either the left side on the upper side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 that divides the game area 5a into left and right depending on the strength of the game. It should be noted that the game ball driving strength can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle lever 504, and the game ball can be driven stronger as it is rotated in the clockwise direction.

  Further, in the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) are planted on the front surface of the game panel 1100 in a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions, and the game ball abuts against the obstacle nails, The flow velocity of the game ball is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball so that the movement can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail, a windmill (not shown) that rotates when the game ball abuts is provided at an appropriate position.

  When a game ball that has been driven into the upper portion of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the front portion of the outer peripheral surface of the front protrusion 2501 of the center accessory 2500 from the highest position, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) While the game ball comes into contact with the center ball 2500, the center ball 2500 flows down to the left. Then, when the game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp inlet 2502 opened on the outer peripheral surface of the front protrusion 2501 of the center accessory 2500, the game ball passes through the warp passage 2503 and A warp outlet 2504 opened in the frame is supplied to the left end of the stage 2505.

  The game ball supplied to the stage 2505 of the center accessory 2500 rolls back and forth on the stage 2505 and is discharged forward from the discharge portions 2505a formed on both sides in the center in the left-right direction. The area above the start port unit 2100 flows down below the stage 2505 in the game area 5a. Thereby, there is a possibility that a game ball may be received in the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, etc. of the starting opening unit 2100.

  When the game ball rolling on the stage 2505 enters the chance entrance 2506 that is opened to the rear side of the center in the left-right direction of the stage 2505, the game is played from the chance exit 2507 that is opened immediately above the first start port 2002. It is discharged into the area 5a and is received by the first start port 2002 with a high probability. When a game ball is received in the first start port 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board and the payout control board.

  If the game balls released from the stage 2506 into the game area 5a flow down to the left or right of the first start port 2002 without being received by the first start port 2002, they are arranged on the left and right downstreams. There is a possibility of being accepted into the general winning opening 2001. When a game ball is received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls is paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board and the payout control board.

  By the way, when the game ball that has flowed down to the left side of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2502, the game ball is played below the center accessory 2500 by a plurality of obstacle nails, the rolling shelf 2201 of the side unit 2200, and the like. There is a possibility that it will be guided to the center in the left-right direction in the area 5a and received by the general winning port 2001, the first starting port 2002, etc. arranged on the downstream side.

  On the other hand, in the game area 5a, the game ball that is driven into the upper portion of the center accessory 2500 enters (is driven into) the right side of the highest part of the outer peripheral surface of the front protrusion 2501 of the center accessory 2500. ) Enters the guide passage 2510 and is discharged to the expansion space 2520 through the first passage portion 2511 and the second passage portion 2512 of the guide passage 2510. In the expansion space 2520, since the gate sensor 2005 is disposed immediately below the lower end of the guide passage 2510, the game ball released into the expansion space 2520 passes through the gate sensor 2005 with a very high probability. The game ball that has passed through the gate sensor 2005 is discharged from the expansion space 2520 into the game area 5a below through the middle passage 2522.

  If a game ball that has entered the expansion space 2520 from the guide passage 2510 does not pass through the gate sensor 2005, the game ball below the expansion space 2520 passes through either the left or right left passage 2521 or the right passage 2523 of the gate sensor 2005. Released into region 5a.

  A game ball that passes through the gate sensor 2005 and is released downward from the expansion space 2520 through the middle passage 2522 has a very high probability at the passage entrance 2311 of the attacker unit 2300 disposed immediately below the lower end of the middle passage 2522. enter in. Then, the game ball that has entered the passage entrance 2311 flows down onto the second start port door 2006 and rolls to the left along the upper surface of the second start port door 2006. From the left end, the outer peripheral upper surface of the second starting port passage 2310 rolls to the left, and is discharged downward from the outer peripheral upper surface left end of the second starting port passage 2310. The game ball released from the left end of the upper surface of the outer periphery of the second starting port passage 2310 passes through the front side of the big prize opening door 2007 that closes the big prize opening 2004. Therefore, when the big prize opening door 2007 is in the open state, the big prize opening 2004 is accepted.

  In the present embodiment, when the game ball passes the gate sensor 2005, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board, and when the lottery normal lottery result is “normal hit”, the second start door 2006 is set for a predetermined time (for example, , 0.3 to 3 seconds), the second starting port 2003 is opened. Therefore, when the game ball reaches the position of the second start port door 2006 (second start port 2003) through the passage entrance 2311 at the timing when the second start port door 2006 is retracted and opened. The ball is received in the second start port 2003 (enters into the second start port passage 2310).

  In this example, in the normal lottery, the probability that “normal hit” will be drawn is set high. Accordingly, when the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, it is received in the second start port 2003 with a relatively high probability. When a game ball is received in the second start port 2003, a predetermined number (for example, one) of game balls is paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board and the payout control board.

  As a result, in this embodiment, when a game ball driving operation (so-called right-handed) is performed so as to pass through the right side of the center accessory 2500, the gate sensor 2005 passes through the gate sensor 2005 with a very high probability. If the normal lottery result drawn by passing the game ball is “normal hit”, it will be accepted into the second start port 2003 with a very high probability, so even a beginner or a player unfamiliar with the game can easily start the second start. A game ball can be received in the mouth 2003, and the player can be entertained.

  By the way, in the present embodiment, as described above, when the player hits the right side, the second starting port 2003 can easily receive the game ball. When the number of game balls to be paid out is increased, the burden on the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed increases, and there is a possibility that the pachinko machine 1 is hesitant to install. However, in this pachinko machine 1, since the number of game balls to be paid out by receiving game balls into the second starting port 2003 is one, lottery of a special lottery result to be described later by receiving into the second starting port 2003 As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side while enhancing the interest of the player, and the pachinko machine 1 can be installed without any problem.

  In the present embodiment, in the normal lottery performed by the game ball passing through the gate sensor 2005, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the normal lottery until the normal lottery result is suggested (for example, 0.1 to 3 seconds, also called normal fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5.

  If the game ball passes the gate sensor 2005 after the game ball passes the gate sensor 2005 until the normal lottery result is suggested, the suggestion of the normal lottery result cannot be started. The start of suggestion is put on hold until the suggestion of the previous ordinary lottery result ends. In addition, the number of hold of the normal lottery result is up to 4 and the upper limit is discarded without being held even if the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the game hall side by accumulating the hold.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a game ball is received in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2003, an advantageous game state (for example, “hit”, “medium” that is advantageous to the player on the main control board. A lottery of a special lottery result that generates “winning”, “small hit”, “per probability variation”, “per time reduction”, etc.) is performed. Then, the player draws a special lottery result that has been drawn out to the player over a predetermined time (for example, 5 to 360 seconds). In addition, special lottery results that are drawn by accepting game balls at the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2003 include “losing”, “small hit”, “2R big hit”, “15R big hit”, “ There are “per probability change (probability change)”, “per time reduction (time reduction)”, “short per probability change time”, “no per short time change probability”, and so on.

  When the special lottery result drawn by accepting game balls to the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2003 is a special lottery result that generates an advantageous gaming state, the winning unit door 2007 is selected by the attacker unit 2300. The opening / closing operation is performed with an opening / closing pattern corresponding to the special lottery result, and the game ball can be received in the special winning opening 2004. When a game ball is received in the big prize opening 2004 when the big prize opening 2004 is in an open state, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) of game balls from the payout device 830 by the main control board and the payout board. Is dispensed to the upper plate 201. Accordingly, when the prize winning opening door 2007 is opened and closed in a predetermined pattern, by allowing the prize winning opening 2004 to accept game balls, a lot of game balls can be paid out and the player can be entertained. .

  In the present embodiment, the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2003 are received from the start of the special lottery until the first lottery result 2002 is suggested. When a game ball is received at the starting port 2003, the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started, so the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result previously drawn is completed. The The number of reserved special lottery results to be held is up to four for each of the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2003, and for more than that, the first start port 2002 and the second start port Even if a game ball is accepted in 2003, the special lottery result is not put on hold and discarded. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the game hall side by accumulating the hold.

  This special lottery result is suggested by the function display unit 1400 and the central liquid crystal display device 1500. In the function display unit 1400, a special lottery result is suggested under direct control by the main control board. The suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 suggests the special lottery result by combining a plurality of LEDs that are lit and extinguished and blinking for a predetermined time, and then lighting the LEDs.

  On the other hand, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is indirectly controlled by the peripheral control board based on a control signal from the main control board and suggests a special lottery result as an effect image. The effect image suggesting the special lottery result in the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is a variably displayed symbol by changing each symbol sequence in a state where three symbol sequences composed of a plurality of symbols are displayed side by side in the horizontal direction. The columns are sequentially stopped and displayed, and each symbol row is stopped and displayed so that the symbols of the three symbol rows to be stopped and displayed have a combination corresponding to the special lottery result. When the special lottery result is other than “losing”, after the three symbol sequences are stopped and each symbol is stopped and displayed, a final image indicating the special lottery result is displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 and the lottery is performed. An advantageous gaming state (for example, a small hit game, a big hit game, etc.) according to the special lottery result occurs.

  It should be noted that the time indicating the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (LED blinking time (variation time)) and the time suggesting the special lottery result in the central liquid crystal display device 1500 (the symbol string fluctuates to confirm the image) The time until the function display unit 1400 is set to be shorter.

  Further, in the peripheral control board, in addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the left decorative body 2610 of the left effect unit 2600, the fall according to the lottery special lottery result Falling decoration body 3106 of the rendering unit 3100, upper decoration body 3210 of the upper rendering unit 3200, upper shutter 3310 and lower shutter 3320 of the shutter rendering unit 3300, right decoration body 3410 of the right rendering unit 3400, and lower decoration body of the lower rendering unit 3500 3510 and the like are appropriately used to perform a movable effect, and the player can be entertained also by the movable effect, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

  When the special lottery result is “small hit”, the big prize opening door 2007 of the attacker unit 2300 is opened and closed for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). The open / close pattern is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice). On the other hand, when the special lottery result is “big hit”, a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses after the large winning opening door 2007 of the attacker unit 2300 is opened, or the predetermined winning opening 2004 is predetermined. When any of the conditions for accepting the number of game balls (for example, 10) is satisfied, an opening / closing pattern that closes the grand prize opening door 2007 (a single opening / closing pattern is referred to as one round) is a predetermined number of times. Repeat (predetermined number of rounds). For example, the “2R big hit” is repeated for two rounds, and the “15R big hit” is repeated for 15 rounds to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player.

  In “Big Bonus”, after the big hit game ends, the probability that a special lottery result such as “Big Bonus” will be drawn is changed (“probable hit”), or the display time of the effect image that suggests the special lottery result is changed. ("Short-time hit") or "hit".

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the special display result of the function display unit 1400 or the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is obtained as a special lottery result drawn by receiving the game balls to the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2003. Even if the suggestion of the lottery result is finished, there is an “extra big hit” that does not generate an advantageous gaming state unless the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2005. When this “special jackpot” is drawn, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 starts displaying a special effect image for suggesting the result of the special lottery. When the three symbol strings are stopped and displayed in the center combination 2500 as a special lottery result with a combination of symbols corresponding to “big hit (special big hit)”, the game ball of the game ball by the entry detection sensor 2530 of the center bonus 2500 is displayed. While the detection becomes effective, an effect image (for example, an arrow image indicating the guidance path 2510) is displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 urging the game ball 2510 to be placed in the guidance path 2510.

  In addition to displaying the effect image by the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the player is prompted to illuminate the guidance passage 2510 from the rear side, or to play sounds such as voice and music. Or output.

  In the central liquid crystal display device 1500, an effect image that prompts the player to strike the game ball 2510 (right-handed) is displayed, and when the player makes a right-hand shot and enters the game ball 2510, A game ball is detected by passing through an entry detection sensor 2530 disposed at the top of the guide passage 2510. When a game ball is detected by the entry detection sensor 2530, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 starts displaying an effect image that reminds that an advantageous game state occurs when the game ball passes the gate sensor 2005. Thereby, a player can be made to pay attention to the gate sensor 2005, and the game ball can be excited by whether or not the game ball passes the gate sensor 2005, thereby increasing the expectation for the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state.

  At this time, in this embodiment, the guide passage 2510 is formed so that the distance through which the game ball circulates is longer than the height of the guide passage 2510. The player can be surely shown to the player, and by following the movement of the game ball circulating in the guide passage 2510, the sense of expectation that the game ball will pass the downstream gate sensor 2005 is sufficiently enhanced. It is possible to entertain the player and prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  Further, in the central liquid crystal display device 1500, it seems that “big hit” is determined at the timing when the game ball enters the expansion space 2520 (or passes through the gate sensor 2005) from the guide path 2510. A special image is displayed. Thereby, the interest of the player can be further enhanced.

  In addition, in the middle of the 2nd channel | path part 2512 of the guidance channel | path 2510, the 2nd approach detection sensor which detects passage of a game ball is provided, and based on the detection of the passage of the game ball by a 2nd approach detection sensor, the special mentioned above It is desirable to correct the display timing of the image. As a result, the game ball that circulates in the guide passage 2510 flows through the guide passage 2510 faster or slower than the predetermined time, so that the timing at which the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005 and the special time It is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable (unfortunate feeling) by shifting the timing at which the image is displayed, and to match the display timing of the special image with the passing timing of the game ball. Can entertain.

  Then, when the game ball that has entered the expansion space 2520 through the guide passage 2510 passes through the gate sensor 2005, the big prize opening door 2007 of the attacker unit 2300 starts to open and close in a predetermined pattern, and the player has an advantage. An advantageous gaming state (special jackpot game) occurs. Thereby, a player can be greatly enjoyed and it can suppress that the interest with respect to a player's game falls.

[5. Relationship between the present embodiment and the present invention]
The central liquid crystal display device 1500 of the present embodiment is an effect display means of the present invention, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 and the peripheral control board of the present embodiment are notification means of the present invention, and the peripheral control board of the present embodiment is of the present invention. In the effect display control board, the big prize opening 2004 of the present embodiment corresponds to the variable prize opening of the present invention, and the gate sensor 2005 of the present embodiment corresponds to the passage detection sensor of the present invention. In addition, the special lottery result in the present embodiment corresponds to the lottery result of the present invention.

[6. Characteristic effects of this embodiment]
As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game ball that is driven into the upper part of the game area 5a by the player's operation flows (flows down) in the game area 5a and flows into the first start port 2002. Or if it accepts in the 2nd starting port 2003, a special lottery result will be drawn, and the effect image which suggests a special lottery result will be displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 according to the lottery special lottery result. Since the effect image is displayed, there is a possibility that the effect image may indicate a special lottery result that allows the big prize opening 2004 of the attacker unit 2300 to be accepted. However, it is possible to entertain the production image while making the player throbbing and thrilling, and to increase the player's expectation. Then, when the special lottery result (big hit) that allows the big winning opening 2004 to be accepted is suggested by the effect image, the big winning opening door 2007 of the big winning opening 2004 to which the privilege is given opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, and the game ball Therefore, the player can be put in a game ball aiming at the big prize opening 2004, and the player's interest is given by giving a privilege by accepting the game ball into the big prize opening 2004. Can be increased.

  Depending on the effect image displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 may issue a notification (image) that prompts the user to place a game ball in the gate sensor 2005 (guidance path 2510). Can be made to hit a game ball aiming at a guide passage 2510 provided on the upstream side of the gate sensor 2005 so as to pass through the gate sensor 2005.

  The guide passage 2510 arranged on the upstream side of the gate sensor 2005 includes a first passage portion 2511 meandering left and right, a second passage portion 2512 extending vertically, a first passage portion 2511 and a second passage. And a plurality of protrusions 2515 that protrude from mutually facing surfaces of a pair of wall bodies 2513 forming the front and rear walls of the portion 2512 and are alternately arranged in the flow direction. Accordingly, in the guide passage 2510, the game ball meanders left and right in the first first passage portion 2511 and flows down in the subsequent second passage portion 2512. Therefore, depending on the position where the game ball flows. It is possible to give a change to the movement of the game ball, to make it difficult for the player to get bored by the game ball changing the movement, and to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating by enjoying the movement of the game ball . When the game ball flows through the guide passage 2510, the distance S2 between the tips of the protrusions 2515 that alternately protrude from the opposing surfaces of the pair of wall bodies 2513 is greater than the outer diameter of the game ball. Therefore, the game ball moves so as to go around each protrusion 2515, and the game ball circulates in the front-rear direction in which the pair of wall bodies 2513 are separated from each other in the guide passage 2510. With these configurations, the distance for guiding the game ball by the guide passage 2510 is 1.5 to 3 times the height, so that the game ball is hit into the guide passage 2510 and then reaches the gate sensor 2005. Since the time is longer than the height, the movement of the game ball circulating in the guide passage 2510 can be surely shown to the player, and the movement of the game ball circulating in the guide passage 2510 can be seen. By chasing, it is possible to increase the expectation for the game ball to pass through the downstream gate sensor 2005, and to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating by making the player entertained.

  Since the game balls that have circulated through the guide passage 2510 enter the expansion space 2520 that is widened to the left and right where the gate sensor 2005 is disposed, the game balls that have entered the expansion space 2520 from the guide passage 2510 It will pass through 2005 or not pass through. As a result, the game ball that has circulated through the guide passage 2510 does not necessarily pass through the gate sensor 2005. Therefore, the game ball can be identified by whether or not the game ball that has circulated through the guide passage 2510 passes through the gate sensor 2005. And the player's expectation can be enhanced.

  Further, even if the game ball flows through the guide passage 2510, it does not always pass through the downstream gate sensor 2005. Therefore, even if the game ball enters the guide passage 2510, it cannot be relieved. Until the entered game ball reaches the expansion space 2520, the player can be watched for the movement of the game ball, and the movement of the game ball flowing through the guide passage 2510 can be surely shown to enjoy the movement of the game ball. I can do it.

  Then, when the game ball passes the gate sensor 2005, regardless of the completion of the suggestion of the special lottery result based on the effect image, the special winning opening door 2007 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, and an opportunity to give many benefits is obtained. In addition to the game ball driving aiming at the gate sensor 2005, the game ball can be driven aiming at the winning prize opening 2004, and the player can be continuously entertained. It can suppress that interest falls.

  In addition, if the game ball is passed through the gate sensor 2005 after the notification by the central liquid crystal display device 1500 (notification means), the big prize opening 2004 can be received. It can be suggested to the player, and the expectation of the player can be increased and the interest can be prevented from decreasing.

  Further, in the guide passage 2510, the side closer to the gate sensor 2005 is a second passage portion 2512 extending vertically, and the circulation speed of the game ball can be gradually increased as it approaches the gate sensor 2005 side. As the speed of the game ball is increased, it is possible to make the player feel tight and to increase his expectation, and to entertain the player and to suppress the interest from deteriorating.

  In addition, a plurality of protrusions 2516 are provided on the ceiling of the first passage portion 2511 meandering in the guide passage 2510, and when the game ball dropped at the folded portion jumps to the ceiling side at the bottom, the ceiling is provided. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball from reflecting smoothly and to reflect the game ball directly or upstream as compared to the case where the ceiling is made flat. , Can delay the circulation of game balls. Therefore, since the speed of the game ball that circulates through the first passage portion 2511 can be reduced, it is possible to make the movement of the game ball easy to see and to implement the pachinko machine 1 that can surely achieve the above-described effects. Can be
