The non-electric accessory 40 (first non-electric accessory) has blade members 41 and 41 that open and close by rotation about the front-rear direction as in the tulip-type electric accessory 17, but the opening and closing operation thereof is related to the non-electric accessory 40. It is a well-known conventional one that uses a game ball driven into the game area 16 instead of a solenoid or the like, and includes an operating piece 43 that protrudes rearward, and the operating piece 43 and the blade members 41, 41 open and close (not shown). It is connected via a mechanism. The non-electric accessory 40 is installed so as to open inside the center member 26 so that a game ball that has entered the center member 26 can win a prize. On the other hand, the non-electric accessory 50 (second non-electric accessory) has a blade member 51 that opens and closes using a game ball driven into the game area 16 like the non-electric accessory 40. The actuating piece 53 projecting rearward is provided, and the actuating piece 53 and the blade member 51 are connected via an opening / closing mechanism (not shown). The non-electric accessory 50 is installed so as to open to the outside of the center member 26, so that a game ball flowing down outside the center member 26 (particularly, the space SR for right-handed hitting) can win a prize. .. With respect to the non-electric accessory 40, the game ball can be won even in the closed state, while with respect to the non-electric accessory 50, the game ball cannot be won unless it is in the open state.

Further, a discharge flow path 35 for discharging the game ball that has entered the operating port 30 to the rear surface side of the game board 2 extends downward from the operating port 30. The discharge flow path 35 is branched into a first flow path 36 extending to the left side (non-electric accessory 40 side) and a second flow path 37 extending to the right side (non-electric accessory 50 side) when viewed from the front. There is. The non-electric accessories 40 and 50 are provided so that the working piece 43 is located at the downstream end of the first flow path 36 and the working piece 53 is located at the downstream end of the second flow path 37. The game ball that has flowed down the road 36 interferes with the operating piece 43, and the game ball that has flowed down the second flow path 37 interferes with the operating piece 53, respectively.

Further, a distribution member 38 is provided for distributing the destination of the game ball that has entered the discharge flow path 35 from the operation port 30 between the first flow path 36 and the second flow path 37. The distribution member 38 is for operating the swing portion 63 located at the branch portion 35A between the first flow path 36 and the second flow path 37 in the discharge flow path 35 and the swing portion 63 as described later. It is provided with an operating mechanism unit 64.

The swinging portion 63 includes a swinging shaft 60, a guide surface formed by a first rib 61 extending to the left from the swinging shaft 60, and a second rib 62 extending to the right from the swinging shaft 60, and swinging. On the left side of the moving shaft 60, there is an action protrusion 65 that protrudes rearward from a position below the swing shaft 60 when the guide surface is in the first posture downward to the left.

The operating mechanism unit 64 is linked to the operation of the operating piece 43, and is linked to the operation of the first link member 66 that rotates about the left-right direction and the first link member 66, and is the second that slides in the vertical direction. It has a link member 67. The first link member 66 has a main body formed in an L-shape with a right side view, and a first linking groove 69 extending in the front-rear direction is opened in the front portion of the main body, and is right from the operating piece 43. The first linking protrusion 68 projecting toward the direction is engaged. Further, a rotating shaft 70 for making itself rotatable is provided at the rear portion of the first linking groove 69, and a second linking protrusion 71 projecting to the right is provided at the upper portion of the main body. On the other hand, the second link member 67 has a main body formed in a U-shape when viewed from the right side, and a second linking groove 72 extending in the front-rear direction is opened in the lower portion of the main body, and the first link member 66 The second linking projection 71 of the above is engaged. Further, a wall portion extending to the right is provided on the upper portion of the main body, and a third linking groove 73 extending in the left-right direction is provided on the wall portion, and the working projection 65 of the swinging portion 63 is engaged with the wall portion. There is. Reference numeral 74 is a tilting axis for tilting the operating piece 43.

Then, the distribution of the game balls by the distribution member 38 and the operations of the non-electric accessories 40 and 50 accompanying the distribution of the game balls will be described. At the beginning of the game, it is assumed that the swinging portion 63 is in the first posture in the branch portion 35A, and the two non-electric accessories 40 and 50 are both in the closed state (FIG. 4). Here, when the game ball enters the discharge flow path 35 from the operating port 30 and reaches the branch portion 35A, the game ball is sent to the first flow path 36 by the swinging portion 63 in the first posture. Then, the game ball interferes with the operating piece 43, and the rear portion of the operating piece 43 is pushed down (the operating piece 43 changes its posture from the initial posture to the operating posture), resulting in the non-electric accessory 40. It becomes an open state. Further, as the first linking protrusion 68 moves downward with the operation of the operating piece 43, the first link member 66 is lowered on the first linking groove 69 side with the rotation shaft 70 as the center, and the second linking protrusion 68 is lowered. It rotates so that the 71 side goes up. Therefore, the second link member 67 slides upward to push up the action protrusion 65, and as a result, the swing portion 63 changes its posture from the first posture to the second posture (the posture in which the guiding surface is lowered to the right). (Fig. 8).

Therefore, as a result of the game ball entering the operating port 30, the game ball enters the discharge flow path 35 from the operating port 30 again in a state where the swinging portion 63 changes its posture to the second posture, and enters the branch portion 35A. When it reaches, the game ball is sent to the second flow path 37 by the swinging portion 63 in the second posture, and this time, the non-electric accessory 50 is opened. On the other hand, when the game ball enters the non-electric accessory 40 in the open state, the non-electric accessory 40 returns to the closed state, so that the operating piece 43 also returns from the operating posture to the initial posture. Therefore, as the posture of the actuating piece 43 is changed, the first link member 66 and the second link member 67 operate in the direction opposite to the above movement, and as a result, the swinging portion 63 also returns from the second posture to the first posture. To do. When the game ball wins the non-electric accessory 50 in the open state, the non-electric accessory 50 returns to the closed state, but the swinging portion 63 is maintained in the second posture and, of course, is non-electric. The accessory 40 is also maintained in the open state.

Here, the game on the pachinko machine 1 in which the distribution member 38 and the non-electric accessories 40 and 50 as described above are installed (assuming that the game starts from the initial state of the game) will be described by the player. The handle 9 is rotated to operate the launching device 10, the gaming ball is driven into the gaming area 16 through the launching passage 13, and the left-handed space SL is first flowed down (so-called left-handed), and the center member. Aim for the entry of the game ball into 26, that is, the entry into the entrance 31. Further, the game ball that has entered the center member 26 from the entrance 31 finally reaches the stage 79 while being distributed to various routes by the game ball flow path 32. Then, when the game ball that has reached the stage 79 enters the operating port 30, the non-electric accessory 40 opens because the swinging portion 63 is in the first posture in the distribution member 38.

When the non-electric accessory 40 opens, the player continues the game of aiming to enter the center member 26 of the game ball, and the game ball that reaches the stage 79 wins the non-electric accessory 40. Aim. Then, when the game ball wins the non-electric accessory 40, a so-called jackpot lottery is executed, and the decorative symbol on the effect display unit 6 and the first special symbol on the special symbol display unit 83 start to fluctuate. Further, when the result of the big hit lottery is "big hit", a predetermined "big hit symbol" is confirmed and displayed on the effect display unit 6 and the special symbol display unit 83 (for example, "7," on the effect display unit 6. 7 "is confirmed and displayed). Further, when the "big hit symbol" is confirmed and displayed, a so-called "big hit state" occurs in which the movable winning devices 18A and 18B are opened twice each. On the other hand, when the result of the big hit lottery is "small hit", predetermined "small hit symbols" are confirmed and displayed on the effect display unit 6 and the special symbol display unit 83, respectively. Further, when the "small hit symbol" is confirmed and displayed, a so-called "small hit state" occurs in which the movable winning devices 18A and 18B are opened once, respectively. Therefore, when a "big hit state" or a "small hit state" occurs, the player performs a so-called right-handed hit in which the game ball is driven into the right-handed space SR and flows down, and the game is performed on the movable winning devices 18A and 18B. Aim to win the ball. In the big hit lottery triggered by the winning of the game ball to the non-electric accessory 40, the probability of becoming a "big hit" is 1/300, and the probability of becoming a "small hit" is 1/45. Further, even if the non-electric accessory 40 is in the closed state, the game ball can win the non-electric accessory 40, and when the game ball wins the non-electric accessory 40 in the closed state, the same big hit as described above The lottery is executed.

However, if the game ball wins the non-electric accessory 40, but the result of the jackpot lottery is "missing", the predetermined "missing symbol" is confirmed and displayed on the production display unit 6 and the special symbol display unit 83, respectively. , "Big hit state" and "small hit state" do not occur. Therefore, the player continues to strike left, aiming to enter the center member 26 of the game ball, and eventually to the operating port 30. Since the swinging portion 63 returns to the first posture when the game ball wins the non-electric accessory 40, the non-electric accessory that opens due to the entry of the next game ball into the operating port 30. Becomes the non-electric accessory 40 again.

On the other hand, even though the non-electric accessory 40 is in the open state, the game ball that has reached the stage 79 may re-enter the operating port 30 without winning the non-electric accessory 40. In that case, since the swinging portion 63 is in the second posture in the distribution member 38, the non-electric accessory 50 opens. Therefore, the player changes the way of hitting from left-handed to right-handed with the opening operation of the non-electric accessory 50, and aims to win the game ball in the non-electric accessory 50 in the open state. Then, when the game ball wins the non-electric accessory 50, a big hit lottery is executed in the same manner as when the game ball wins the non-electric accessory 40, and the decorative symbol is displayed on the effect display unit 6 as a special symbol display unit. At 83, the second special symbol starts to change. Further, when the result of the big hit lottery is "big hit", a predetermined "big hit symbol" is confirmed and displayed on the effect display unit 6 and the special symbol display unit 83, respectively, and the same "big hit state" as described above occurs. On the other hand, when the result of the big hit lottery is "small hit", the predetermined "small hit symbol" is confirmed and displayed on the effect display unit 6 and the special symbol display unit 83, respectively, and the same "small hit state" as described above occurs. To do. Therefore, the player continues to hit right when a "big hit state" or "small hit state" occurs, and aims to win a game ball in the movable winning devices 18A and 18B that are opened. In the big hit lottery triggered by the winning of the game ball to the non-electric accessory 50, the probability of becoming a "big hit" is 1/300, which is the same as that of the non-electric accessory 40, but the probability of becoming a "small hit". Is 1/10. Therefore, it can be said that the non-electric accessory 50 is a non-electric accessory that is more advantageous to the player than the non-electric accessory 40.

However, if the game ball wins the non-electric accessory 50, but the result of the jackpot lottery is "missing", the predetermined "missing symbol" is confirmed and displayed on the production display unit 6 and the special symbol display unit 83, respectively. , "Big hit state" and "small hit state" do not occur. Therefore, the player changes the way of hitting from right-handed to left-handed, aiming to enter the center member 26 of the game ball, and eventually to win the game ball in the non-electric accessory 40 which is still in the open state. Even if the game ball wins the non-electric accessory 50, the swinging portion 63 is maintained in the second posture, so that the next game ball enters the operating port 30 without winning the non-electric accessory 40. If so, the non-electric accessory 50 opens again.

Further, when the "big hit state" is completed, the result of the so-called winning lottery executed due to the detection of the passage of the game ball to the gate member 20 is likely to be a "hit", and the tulip type electric accessory 17 is frequently opened. As a result, a game ball can be won, and a so-called probable change state occurs in which the result of the big hit lottery executed due to the detection of winning the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is likely to be a “big hit”. Therefore, the player continues to hit right, aiming for the game ball to pass through the gate member 20 and to win the game ball for the tulip-type electric accessory 17, which is frequently opened. Further, when the result of the big hit lottery executed in response to the winning of the game ball to the tulip type electric accessory 17 becomes "big hit", the "big hit symbol" is confirmed and displayed on the special symbol display unit 83 and the production display unit 6. Then, the "big hit state" in which the movable winning devices 18A and 18B are opened twice each occurs again. When the game ball wins the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the special symbol display unit 83 fluctuates / confirms the third special symbol.

Then, the number of confirmed display times in the "big hit symbol" repeated from the first probability change state reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times), and the "big hit state" generated by the final display of the predetermined number of "big hit symbols" is generated. When finished, the result of the winning lottery executed due to the detection of the passage of the game ball to the gate member 20 is unlikely to be a "hit" (or not a "hit") without causing a probability change state, and is a tulip type. The electric accessory 17 is hardly opened (or never opened), and the result of the big hit lottery is unlikely to be a "big hit", and the game returns to the normal state at the beginning of the game. Therefore, the player returns to the above-mentioned game in which the right-handed strike is stopped and the left-handed strike is performed.

(Effect of the pachinko machine of this embodiment)
According to the pachinko machine 1 having the above configuration, the discharge flow path 35 extending from the operating port 30 has a first flow path 36 extending toward the non-electric accessory 40 side and a second flow path 36 extending toward the non-electric accessory 50 side. A distribution member 38 having a swinging portion 63 that branches to the flow path 37 and further distributes the destination of the game ball between the first flow path 36 and the second flow path 37, and the swinging portion 63 to the branching portion 35A. It is provided in a positioned state, and when the game ball is sent to the first flow path 36, the non-electric accessory 40 opens, and when the game ball is sent to the second flow path 37, the non-electric accessory 50 opens. Made it work. Further, the distribution member is provided with an operating mechanism portion 64 that operates in conjunction with the opening / closing operation of the non-electric accessory 40, and when the non-electric accessory 40 is in the closed state, the swing portion 63 is set as the first posture. When the game ball is sent to the 1 flow path 36 and the non-electric accessory 40 is in the open state, the game ball is sent to the second flow path 37 with the swinging portion 63 as the second posture. Therefore, when the game ball enters the operating port 30, the destination of the game ball differs depending on the open / closed state of the non-electric accessory 40, and eventually the non-electric accessory 40 opens or the non-electric accessory 50 opens. It is possible to have unprecedented playability such as opening operation.

Further, conventionally, when a game ball enters the operating port in a situation where the non-electric accessory is already in the open state, the game ball becomes a waste ball that is not involved in the game at all. According to this, the game ball that has entered the operating port 30 in such a situation becomes a game ball for opening the non-electric accessory 50, so that the pachinko machine 1 does not detract from the interest of the player. be able to.

Further, the non-electric accessory 40 is installed inside the center member 26 so that a game ball can enter the center member 26 so that a prize can be aimed at in the non-electric accessory 40, while the non-electric accessory 50 is It is installed on the outside of the center member 26 so that a game ball flowing down the outside of the center member 26 can be used to win a prize in the non-electric accessory 50. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the pachinko machine 1 having a more novel game property in which the way of hitting and aiming the game ball changes according to the non-electric accessory that has been opened.

In addition, a big hit lottery will be held when the game ball wins the non-electric bonuses 40 and 50, and the probability of "small hit" corresponding to the non-electric bonus 50 will be changed to the non-electric bonus 40. By setting it higher than the corresponding "small hit" probability, the non-electric accessory 50 is made a non-electric accessory that is more advantageous to the player than the non-electric accessory 40. Therefore, even when the non-electric accessory 40 is in the open state, when the non-electric accessory 50 is opened, it is better to aim for the winning of the game ball to the non-electric accessory 50. It can be a pachinko machine 1 having extremely novel playability.

(About a modified example of the present invention)
The configuration of the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the configuration of the entire gaming machine, as well as the configuration of the distribution means and the non-electric accessory, and the like of the present invention are also included. It can be changed as needed within the range that does not deviate from the purpose.

For example, in the above embodiment, the first non-electric accessory is installed inside the game member and the second non-electric accessory is installed outside the game member, but the installation position of each non-electric accessory is appropriately changed. It is possible, and there is no problem even if both electric accessories are installed inside the game member (or outside the game member). Of course, it is possible to install three or more non-electric accessories, and it is within the scope of the present invention if the two non-electric accessories are configured to be sorted by the sorting means. ..

Further, the first non-electric accessory and the second non-electric accessory may have different prize balls at the time of winning the game ball, and if the "big hit" probability is different instead of the "small hit" probability. You may let it.
Further, in the above embodiment, the operating mechanism portion is composed of a first link member that rotates about the left-right direction, a second link member that slides in the vertical direction, and the like, but a specific configuration of the operating mechanism portion. The design of the elements can be changed as appropriate.

In addition, although the pachinko machine which is an example of the gaming machine is described in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is naturally applicable to other gaming machines such as an enclosed pachinko machine.
In addition, all the elements described in the claims, the specification and the drawings (for example, non-electric accessory, operating port, discharge flow path, first flow path, second flow path, branch portion, distribution means, etc. As long as there is no clear description that consciously limits the number of distribution parts, game members, etc.), it may be physically single or multiple, and even if the arrangement is changed as appropriate. I do not care. In addition, the element names (names given to the elements) used in the claims and specifications are merely given for convenience in the description of this case, which may give rise to a special meaning. I am not particularly conscious of. That is, the element name alone does not limit the interpretation of what the element is. Furthermore, whether a plurality of elements among all the above elements are appropriately integrally configured or one element is divided into a plurality of elements is not specified in the scope of claims or the like. Since all of these are matters that can be considered extremely easily by those skilled in the art, it is clear that all the patterns are within the assumed range even if all the patterns are not described in the specification or the like. Of course, it is included in the scope of rights pertaining to. Therefore, simply adopting a gaming machine having a structural difference within such a range because it is not described in the present embodiment does not mean that the right according to the present invention has been circumvented. .. The same applies to differences in the configuration and shape of each element, which can be easily considered by those skilled in the art from this embodiment.
