Description

本発明は、所定数量の遊技球を閉鎖的に循環させて遊技を行わせる封入球式の遊技機に関する。
The present invention relates to a sealed-ball type gaming machine in which a predetermined number of gaming balls are circulated in a closed manner to play a game .

従来技術の封入球式の遊技機として特許文献１のような遊技機がある。An example of a conventional sealed-ball type gaming machine is disclosed in Patent Document 1.

特開２００４－２９８５１１号公報JP 2004-298511 A

しかしながら、特許文献１に記載の遊技機には、改良の余地がある。However, there is room for improvement in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1.

そこで、本発明の目的は、従来の遊技機を改良した遊技機を提供することにある。
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine which is an improvement over conventional gaming machines .

次の手段により課題を解決する。
遊技球が流下する遊技領域を備えた遊技盤と、
前記遊技盤が収容される本体枠と、
前記遊技領域に向けて遊技球を発射する打球発射装置と、
前記打球発射装置によって発射された遊技球が前記遊技領域から回収された後、回収された遊技球を揚送するための揚送装置と、
前記揚送装置の近傍に配置される球磨き部材と、
遊技の進行を制御する主制御手段と、
を備え、
前記遊技領域を流下した遊技球を循環させることで遊技を行うようにした遊技機であって、
前記揚送装置は、遊技球を揚送するためのスクリュー部によって遊技球を揚送するものであり、
前記揚送装置における前記スクリュー部と前記球磨き部材とが対向する箇所において、前記スクリュー部によって揚送される遊技球は、前記球磨き部材と接触して球磨きが行われ、
前記球磨き部材が前記遊技機から取り外された状態であっても前記主制御手段による制御を止めることなく遊技の続行が可能とされることを特徴とする。
また、本願発明とは異なる別の発明として以下の手段を参考的に開示する。
（手段１）
遊技領域が区画形成された遊技盤と
該遊技盤が嵌め込まれて収容される本体枠とを備えた遊技機であって、
該遊技機の上部に配置され、前記遊技領域に遊技球を発射する上部発射装置と、
該上部発射装置によって発射された遊技球を回収し、再び上部発射装置へ循環させる循環経路と、
前記上部発射装置に前記遊技機の下部から遊技球を揚送する球揚送装置と、を備えたものであって、
前記揚送装置によって揚送される遊技球を、前記上部発射装置に向け横方向に方向付ける傾斜面を前記球揚送装置上部に備えることを特徴とする。
The problem is solved by the following means.
A game board having a game area where game balls flow down;
A main body frame in which the game board is housed;
A ball launching device that launches game balls toward the game area;
a lifting device for lifting the game balls that have been shot by the ball launching device and then collected from the game area;
A ball polishing member disposed adjacent to the lifting device;
A main control means for controlling the progress of a game;
Equipped with
A gaming machine in which a game is played by circulating game balls that have flowed down the gaming area,
The lifting device lifts the game balls by a screw portion for lifting the game balls,
At a location where the screw portion and the ball polishing member of the lifting device face each other, the game balls lifted by the screw portion come into contact with the ball polishing member and are polished;
The present invention is characterized in that even when the ball polishing member is removed from the gaming machine, the game can be continued without stopping the control by the main control means.
In addition, the following means are disclosed for reference as another invention different from the present invention.
(Means 1)
A gaming machine comprising a gaming board in which a gaming area is partitioned and a main body frame in which the gaming board is fitted and housed,
An upper launching device disposed at an upper portion of the gaming machine and configured to launch gaming balls into the gaming area;
A circulation path that collects the game balls launched by the upper launch device and circulates them back to the upper launch device;
The upper launch device is provided with a ball lifting device that lifts game balls from the lower part of the gaming machine,
The ball lifting device is characterized by having an inclined surface on the upper part thereof for directing the game balls lifted by the lifting device laterally toward the upper launching device.

本発明の封入球式の遊技機によれば、従来の遊技機を改良し、遊技に供される遊技球を磨きながらも稼働時間の長い遊技機を提供することが出来る。
According to the sealed ball type gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to improve on the conventional gaming machine and provide a gaming machine with a long operating time while polishing the gaming balls used in the game .
