Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a ball game machine represented by a pachinko game machine and the like, and more specifically, a ball that can be hit by hitting a ball in a game area. Regarding gaming machines.

[Prior Art] In this type of ball game machine, there has been one generally known from the past, for example, as shown in FIG.
FIG. 11 is a front view showing a configuration of a main part of a game board of a pachinko game machine which is an example of a conventional ball game machine.

The game operation of the conventional pachinko game machine will be described with reference to FIG.

Some of the pachinko balls hit on the game board fall as shown by arrows A, B, C, D, E, and F. Of these, the pachinko balls that have fallen as indicated by arrows E and F win the specific winning opening 1. The pachinko balls that have won the specific winning opening 1 are sorted by the winning ball sorting device 2, and some of them are dropped into the right generation winning hole 3 and detected by the right generation winning ball detection switch 4. Based on the signal from the right-generated winning a prize ball detection switch 4, the pachinko gaming machine is in the right-generated state, and the variable winning ball device 5 is enabled.

Of the pachinko balls sorted by the prize ball sorter 2,
The pachinko balls that do not win the right generation winning hole 3 win the normal winning hole 8.

When a pachinko ball wins the right generation winning hole 3 and the normal winning hole 8, a prize ball payout device (not shown) is driven, and for example, 13 prize balls are paid out per prize ball.

When a pachinko ball is won in the starting winning opening 6a or 6b in the right generation state, the winning ball is a starting winning ball detection switch.
Detected at 7a or 7b. Then, in response to the detection signal, the opening / closing plate 9 of the variable winning ball device 5 is opened for a predetermined period. Here, the predetermined period of time is until the pachinko balls 10 wins in the opening that appears when the opening / closing plate 9 is opened, or
It is the period until the end of 10 seconds, whichever comes first.

In the right generation state, a pachinko ball is won into the start winning hole 6a or 6b, so that the opening / closing plate 9 of the variable winning ball device 5 is repeatedly opened for a predetermined period.

The disappearance of the right generation state usually occurs when a pachinko ball wins the specific winning opening 1, is distributed by the winning ball distribution device 2, and wins the right generating winning hole 3. That is,
The right is extinguished when a pachinko ball enters the same right generation winning hole 3 as when the right was generated. In this way, the generation and extinction of rights are made to occur under the same conditions.
In addition, as a special case, the right is set to disappear even when the number of winning pachinko balls to the starting winning openings 6a and 6b becomes eight.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In such a type of pachinko gaming machine, whether or not the pachinko gaming machine is likely to be in a right-generating state is greatly related to the attractiveness and interest of the player.
This is because, in the right generation state, when a pachinko ball enters the starting winning holes 6a, 6b, the opening / closing plate 9 opens, and the pachinko ball becomes very easy to win. If not generated, start winning hole
This is because 6a and 6b are used only as winning holes, and the game is not attractive.

Therefore, on the pachinko hall side, it is preferable to use a pachinko gaming machine in which a right is easily generated, and such a pachinko gaming machine is a pachinko gaming machine that is attractive to the player.

Therefore, a pachinko gaming machine in which a pachinko ball is easily won in the specific winning opening 1 that guides the pachinko ball to the right generation winning hole 3 or the normal winning hole 8 can be considered. However, if the pachinko ball is simply won in the specific winning opening 1, each time the pachinko ball is introduced into the specific winning opening 1 and is introduced into the right generation winning hole 3 or the normal winning hole 8, for example, 13 Before each pachinko ball is paid out as a prize ball and gives a great game value to the player by making it a right generation state, the winning ratio of the pachinko ball to the specific winning opening 1 is high There is a drawback that the increase in the rate will result in a pachinko machine that is not suitable for pachinko halls and is not suitable for actual business situations.

That is, in the conventional art, there is a demand from the viewpoint of the gaming service that many hit balls are placed in the specific winning area constituted by the specific winning opening 1 so that the right frequently occurs, and many hit balls are generated. If you win a specific prize area, the value of prize balls etc. will be added too much and the management of the amusement hall will deteriorate. A demand from the viewpoint of amusement hall management that is in trouble is in a state of conflict,
There has never been a ball game machine that can satisfy both requirements.

The present invention has been conceived in view of the actual situation,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a ball game machine that can satisfy both the above-mentioned request from the viewpoint of game service and the request from the viewpoint of game hall management.

Incidentally, as a conventional similar technology, there are JP-A-56-45681, JP-A-56-80279, etc., and a pachinko game machine in which the number of prize balls paid out is changed according to a winning hole is the applicant of the present invention. Already proposed by.

The invention of the present application is an invention having a configuration and an effect different from the above-mentioned already proposed pachinko game machine, including its purpose.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a ball-playing machine capable of playing a ball by hitting a ball into a game area, and a variable display device whose display state can be changed and a ball hitting prize. A specific winning area that is determined so as to derive and display the display result of the variable display device, and a variable winning ball that can be changed to a first state that is advantageous to the player and a second state that is disadvantageous to the player. Device, the right is a precondition for putting the variable winning ball device in the first state as a necessary condition that the display result of the variable display device becomes a predetermined specific display mode, Drive control means for driving and controlling the variable winning ball device to a first state when a predetermined condition is satisfied during the period of generation of the right, and with the winning of a hit ball to the variable winning ball device. The first number of valuable values can be added , Characterized in that it comprises a said striking balls of the first second grantable value giving means a negotiable value number less than the number with the winning of a particular winning area.

[Operation] According to the present invention, the variable display device capable of changing the display state is provided, and the result of the display of the variable display device is derived and displayed by the ball hitting the specific winning area.
Then, the right generation state, which is a precondition for setting the variable winning ball apparatus to the first state advantageous to the player, on the condition that the display result becomes a predetermined specific display mode, When a predetermined condition is satisfied during the right generation period, the variable winning ball device is drive-controlled to the first state. Further, by the function of the value giving means, the first prize is given in association with the winning of the hit ball into the variable winning ball device.
The number of valuable values can be added, and the second number, which is smaller than the first number, can be added in association with the winning of the hit ball in the specific winning area.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This pachinko gaming machine 10, a variable winning ball device 12, a specific winning hole 14 as an example of a specific winning area,
A start winning hole 16 is provided, and when a pachinko ball wins the specific winning hole 14 at a predetermined timing, the right is generated or the right that is generated disappears. In the right generation state, when a pachinko ball wins the start winning hole 16, the opening / closing plate 18 of the variable winning ball device 12 is expired for a certain period, for example, until 10 pachinko balls win or 10 seconds, whichever comes first. Open up to.

The generation and extinguishment of rights occur under the following conditions. That is, the variable indicator 20 of the variable winning ball device 12
Is composed of three digital displays, and the displays of "1" to "9" and "0" are slowly changing independently of each other. When a pachinko ball enters the specific winning hole 14 during a pachinko game, if the display on the leftmost display of the variable display 20 happens to be "7", the right is generated. Further, when a right is generated, a pachinko ball is won in the specific winning hole 14, and if the display at the left end of the variable display 20 at that time is "7", the right is extinguished.

In the right generation state, the start winning hole 16 has a function of opening the opening / closing plate 18 in addition to a function as a normal winning hole.

In addition, in this embodiment, the variable display device 20 is initially dependent on whether or not the display on the leftmost display device displays "7" at the timing when the pachinko ball wins the specific winning hole 14. However, it is the central display of the variable display 20 that is related to the generation of the right, and this display is displayed as "3" or "7". The right arises or disappears when a pachinko ball enters the hole 14. Further, next, the display portion of the variable display 20 involved in the right generation moves to the display portion at the right end, and when the display portion at the right end displays any of "3", "5", and "7", it is specified. When a pachinko ball is won in the prize hole 14, the right is generated or lost.

In other words, when the display timing of the leftmost display of the variable display 20 coincides with the winning timing of the pachinko ball in the specific winning hole 14, and the right is generated and disappears, the display involved in the next generation and disappearance of the right. Is the central indicator, and the right indicator is involved in the next generation and extinguishment of the right, and is designed so that the right can be easily generated or the generated right can easily be extinguished.
Therefore, once the right is generated by the display on the left end of the variable display 20, the player can obtain the condition that the right is more likely to be generated next, so that the player can enjoy it more. After the right is generated and disappears based on the rightmost display of the variable display 20, the leftmost display is again involved in the right generation.

The feature of this pachinko gaming machine 10 is that a ball return passage 24 for guiding the pachinko balls that have won the specific winning hole 14 to the ball receiving tray 22 is provided as shown by the chain line. Ball return passage
24 is provided on the back side of the game board of the pachinko gaming machine 10 and cannot be seen from the front side, so it is shown by a dashed line here.

The ball return passage 24 may lead the pachinko balls that have entered the specific winning hole 14 to the hitting ball supply tray 28 through the ball discharge port 26.

In short, the pachinko balls that enter the specific winning hole 14 do not pay the same prize balls as when the pachinko balls enter the normal winning hole, and the pachinko balls that enter the specific winning hole 14 are the player again. It is one of the features of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment that it is configured to be returned to the. In this embodiment, only one specific winning hole 14 is provided, but if there are a plurality of specific winning holes, any one of them may be provided with the above configuration.

(See Fig. 1).

It should be noted that the pachinko balls that have won prize holes other than the specific prize hole 14 are collected by the prize ball collecting gutter 34, guided, and given to the prize ball processing device 38 one by one. And winning ball processor 36
The prize ball payout device 38 is driven by the action of the above, and for example, 13 prize balls are paid out per winning ball.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 40 is a start winning prize ball detection switch for detecting a pachinko ball entering the starting prize hole 16 and 42.
Is a solenoid for opening the opening / closing plate 18 (see FIG. 1) of the variable winning ball device 12.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention described in detail above, the pachinko ball that has won the specific winning hole 14 is guided by the winning ball gathering gutter 34 like a conventional pachinko gaming machine and the winning ball processing device. Instead of being given to the ball 36, it is guided by the ball return passage 24 and returned to the ball tray 22. Therefore,
Since the prize ball payout device 38 is not driven and the payout rate does not increase due to the pachinko ball winning the specific winning hole 14, it is possible to increase the winning ratio of the pachinko ball to the specific winning hole 14. It is possible. As a result, the right can be frequently generated and the right can be extinguished, and the player can enjoy the real pleasure of the game with a great game value that cannot be obtained by the normal pachinko game. That is, it is possible to provide an extremely interesting gaming machine.

In the above embodiment, the variable indicator 20 of the variable winning ball device 12

The opening / closing plate 18 can be changed between an open state and an open state, and is flush with the main body substrate 44 in the closed state, and the pachinko balls fall in front of it, but in the open state the upper edge side is centered on the lower edge side. Rotates forward, a large horizontally long winning opening is formed therein, and the pachinko balls enter the winning opening.

Further, on the surface of the main body substrate 44 between the 7-segment LED and the opening / closing plate 18, there are four memory display LEs arranged side by side.
D50a, 50b, 50c and 50d are provided. The memory display LEDs 50a, 50b, 50c and 50d are provided with pachinko balls that enter the start winning hole 16 (see FIG. 1) while the opening / closing plate 18 is open, and when the start winning hole 16 is detected. The winning of the pachinko ball to is temporarily stored and held, and after the opening / closing plate 18 is opened, the opening / closing plate 18 is opened again based on the held output. The memory display LEDs 50a, 50b, 50c and 50d memorize the winning of the pachinko balls into the starting winning hole 16 at that time.
In this embodiment, when a pachinko ball is won in the start winning hole 16 while the opening / closing plate 18 is opened, the winnings can be stored and held up to seven. The display of five or more winning prizes is carried out by blinking the lit LED.

Further, the variable winning ball device 12 is provided with a normal winning hole 52 at the top thereof.

FIG. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the central portion in the state where the variable winning ball device 12 of FIG. 3 is attached to the game board 54. 4, the same parts as those in FIG. 3 are designated by the same reference numerals. In FIG. 4, the plunger 56 of the solenoid 42 is the opening / closing plate 18.
And an opening / closing plate operating member 58. The opening / closing plate 18 is opened / closed by turning on / off the solenoid 42.

The lower 59 of the operating member 58 is a winning ball detection switch, which is used for detecting the pachinko balls that have won from the winning opening when the opening / closing plate 18 is opened.

FIG. 5 is a circuit block diagram showing an example of a control circuit of the pachinko gaming machine 10. FIG. 5 shows a variable winning ball device 12
A control circuit is shown in which the control of the electric drive device including the above is composed of a circuit including a combination of logic circuits.

Next, referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the operation of the control circuit based on FIG. 5 and the associated pachinko gaming machine
The ten operations will be described.

The display of the variable display 20 included in the variable winning ball device 12 is constantly changed by the digital drive circuit 60 as described above. The output of the digital drive circuit 60, that is, information about what numerical value is displayed on the variable display 20 by the digital drive circuit 60 is given to the digital display determination circuit 62.

The pachinko ball fired by the player has a specific winning hole 14
When you win the prize (see Fig. 1), the ball detection switch 32 (second
It is detected (see the drawing), and its ON signal is given to the digital display judgment circuit 62. Digital display judgment circuit
Reference numeral 62 determines the display displayed on the variable display 20 when the ON signal of the ball detection switch 32 is given. The variable display judged at this time is, as described above, the left 7-segment LED 46a, the center 7-segment LED 46b, and the right 7-segment LED 46b.
Any one of the LEDs 46c is displayed. When the digital display determination circuit 62 determines that the display of the predetermined 7-segment LED is a predetermined display, for example, "7",
Derive a high level signal. This signal is the NAND gate 64
To the holding circuit 66 formed of a flip-flop. In response to this, the Q output of the holding circuit 66 becomes high level, the AND gate 70 takes the logical product of this high level output and the output of the frequency dividing circuit 68, and the right generation lamp 72 blinks based on the output. Thereby, the player can know that the right is generated. Variable display
20 does not assume that the display is always changing as described above, and starts variable display in response to the pachinko ball winning the specific winning hole 14, and after a certain condition, for example, after a certain time or by operating the stop button. You may make it stop.

The output of the holding circuit 66 is also output to the start number reset circuit 7
4. It is given as a reset signal to the start number circuit 80 through the NAND gate 76 and the OR gate 78. Therefore, the display of the open / close plate opening number display LED 48 for displaying the output of the start number circuit 80 is reset to "0".

When a pachinko ball is won in the start winning hole 16 in the right generation state, it is detected by the start winning ball detecting switch 40, and accordingly, an output is derived from the starting winning circuit 82.
This output is applied to the C input terminal of the holding circuit 88 via the NAND gate 84 and the OR gate 86. The holding circuit 88 is
The D output terminal is supplied with the Q output of the holding circuit 66, and is preset in advance by the Q output. Therefore, the holding circuit 88 inverts its output Q and in response to the input to the C input terminal. The solenoid 42 is turned on by the inverted output of the holding circuit 88 and the open / close plate 18
Is opened, and an opening lamp 90 provided at an appropriate position of the pachinko gaming machine is turned on. The digital display determination circuit 62,
Nand gate 64, holding circuit 66, start winning prize detection switch 4
0, the start winning circuit 82, the NAND gate 84, the OR gate 86, and the holding circuit 88 make the variable winning ball device the first with the condition that the display result of the variable display device becomes a predetermined specific display mode. When a right which is a precondition for making the state described above is generated and a predetermined condition is satisfied during the generation period of the right, the drive control means for driving and controlling the variable winning ball device to the first state. Is configured.

As described above, since the display result of the variable display device is involved in the generation of the right, the following effects are obtained.

Whether or not the display result of the variable display device is in a specific display mode determined in advance is controlled by the chance that is not related to the superiority or inferiority of the ball hitting skill of the player. There is an advantage that even a beginner who does not have a right can be given an opportunity to generate a right, and a game service that accompanies the generation of a right can be provided evenly including a beginner. Further, since the variable display device performs a variable display each time a hit ball wins a specific winning area, the player may look at the variable display of the variable display device with expectation that a right may be generated. It is possible to enjoy the variable display of the variable display device.

The Q output of the holding circuit 88 is given to the count signal input terminal C of the start number circuit 80, and accordingly the LED 4 for opening / closing the open / close plate is displayed.
8 displays "1". This display is incremented in response to the output from holding circuit 88. In addition to the display result of the variable display device being a specific display mode,
The right generation state may be set only when other conditions other than the above are satisfied.

The output of the starting winning circuit 82 is branched and given not only to the NAND gate 84 but also to the starting winning memory circuit 94 via the NAND gate 92 as an addition input. Start winning prize memory circuit 94
The Q output of the holding circuit 88 is applied as a subtraction input. Therefore, the starting winning prize memory circuit 94 is the opening / closing plate.
When a pachinko ball is won in the starting winning hole 16 while 18 is opened, the number of winnings is stored. This stored value is displayed by the storage display LEDs 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d via the conversion circuit 96 and the digital drive circuit 98.

The output of the starting winning circuit 82 is configured to be derived by the Q output of the holding circuit 66 involved in the right generation state (a NAND gate 92 is provided).
Therefore, the output of the starting winning circuit 82 is validated only while the right is being generated.

The pachinko balls that won the prize while the opening and closing plate 18 was open are
Detected by the detection switch 59 (see Fig. 4), the pulse output is derived from the 10-count winning circuit 100, and the NAND gate 1
It is given as a coefficient input to the coefficient circuit 104 via 02.
When the coefficient value of the counting circuit 104 becomes “10”, Q
This is a circuit for deriving an output, and this circuit 104 is reset by the output of the holding circuit 88. Therefore, the counting circuit
104 counts the number of pachinko balls that have won a prize after the opening / closing plate 18 is opened, and derives an output when the count value reaches 10. This output is displayed on the digital display 108 provided at a desired position or the like via the digital drive circuit 106. Incidentally, the digital display 108 used at this time
May be provided at an appropriate place of the pachinko gaming machine, for example, at an appropriate place incorporated in the variable winning ball device, or may be as follows. That is, the variable display 20 is composed of three 7-segment LEDs 46a, 46b, 46c, one of which is involved in the generation and extinction of rights, and therefore the remaining two segment LEDs which are not involved.
The count value of the counting circuit 104 may be displayed depending on which one of them.

The OR gate 110 outputs the 10 count output Q of the counting circuit 104.
And the output of the AND gate 112 that derives the output based on the outputs Q1 and Q3 of the frequency dividing circuit 68. The frequency dividing circuit 68 and the AND gate 112 form a kind of timer, and the period from which the logical product output of the Q1 output and the Q3 output of the frequency dividing circuit 68 is derived is, for example, 10 seconds. The AND gate 112 is configured to derive an output every 10 seconds. Therefore, the OR gate 110 derives an output based on the earlier output of the opening / closing plate 18 for 10 seconds or the input of 10 pachinko balls, whichever is earlier, and the output is held via the OR gate 114. It is given to the circuit 88 as a reset signal. Therefore, the output of the holding circuit 88 is inverted and the opening / closing plate 18
Closes.

Other circuits in the control circuit include a power-on initial setting circuit 116, an initial time setting circuit 118, and a sound circuit 120.
And the speaker 122 that is sounded by it, the power supply circuit 1
24 etc. are provided.

FIG. 6 is a rear view of a pachinko gaming machine 126 according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 shows a ball guide path 128 for processing a pachinko ball guided to the back side of the game board through the communication hole 30 into the specific winning hole 14 as an out ball. Further, in FIG. 6, an arrangement position of the minority prize ball payout device 130 driven in response to the output of the ball detection switch 32, and a prize ball payout passage 132 paid out by the minority prize ball payout device 130. It is shown. As shown in the figure, the minority prize ball payout device 130 is provided, for example, on the upper left side when the pachinko gaming machine 126 is viewed from the back side, and the prize ball to be paid out passes through the payout passage 132 and is a normal prize. Like the pachinko balls paid out by the ball payout device 38, the ball is guided to the prize ball payout exit.

The prize balls paid out by the minority prize ball payout device 130 may be paid out to the ball tray.

FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B are views for explaining an example of the configuration and the operating principle of the minority prize ball payout device 130.

With reference to FIGS. 7A and 7B, a minority prize ball dispensing device
130 will be explained. The minority prize ball payout device 130 has a ball drop passage 13 through which one pachinko ball can drop.
4, a ball discharging lever 136 and a ball stopping lever 138 provided so as to project into and pull out of the ball dropping passage 134, and a connecting plate for connecting the ball discharging lever 136 and the ball stopping lever 138.
140 and a solenoid 142 for driving the ball discharge lever 136 and the ball stop lever 138.

In the state where the specific winning ball is not detected by the ball detection switch 32, as shown in FIG. 7A, the solenoid 142 is in the off state, and at this time, the tip of the ball release lever 136 projects into the ball drop passage 134. On the contrary, the tip of the ball stop lever 138 is pulled out from the ball drop passage 134, and the pachinko ball is locked by the ball discharge lever 136.

When the ball detection switch 32 detects a specific winning ball, the solenoid 142 is turned on based on the signal. Accordingly, the tip of the ball discharging lever 136 is pulled out from the ball dropping passage 134, and conversely, the tip of the ball stopping lever 138 connected by the connecting plate 140 is inserted into the ball dropping passage 134. That is, solenoid 1
By turning off and on 42, the connecting plate 140 is rotated around the support shaft 144, and the tip of either the ball discharging lever 136 or the ball stopping lever 138 is projected into the ball dropping passage 134. Since the distance between the tip ends of the ball discharging lever 136 and the ball stopping lever 138 is set to be exactly one pachinko ball, one pachinko ball falls when the solenoid 142 is turned on once. , Will be paid out as a prize ball.

Therefore, based on the specific winning ball detection signal, the solenoid
By appropriately controlling the number of times the 142 is turned on, it is possible to pay out an arbitrary number of pachinko balls as prize balls.

The distance between the tip of the ball discharging lever 136 and the ball stopping lever 138, that is, the distance between the tips of both of the balls projecting into the ball drop passage 134 should be set so that two or three pachinko balls can be inserted. For example, if the solenoid 142 is turned on once, 2
It is also possible to pay out one or three pachinko balls at one time. FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 show such another configuration example of the minority prize ball payout device.

That is, in the minority prize ball payout device 146 shown in FIG. 8, the distance between the tip ends of the ball discharge lever 136 and the ball stop lever 138 protruding into the ball drop passage 134 is selected to be the distance between two pachinko balls. There is. Further, in the minority prize ball payout device 148 shown in FIG. 9, the intervals between the tip ends of the ball discharge lever 136 and the ball stop lever 138 are selected for three pachinko balls. Therefore, in the minority prize ball payout device 146 shown in FIG. 8, two pachinko balls are paid out by one excitation of the solenoid 142. Also, the minority prize ball payout device 148 shown in FIG.
Then, three pachinko balls are paid out by one excitation of the solenoid 142.

Further, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 and 9,
In the ball drop passage 134, a plurality of slits through which the tip of the ball stop lever 138 is inserted are formed at intervals equal to the diameter of a pachinko ball, such as 150a, 150b, 150c, 150d ,. By appropriately selecting the shape of 138, the ball stopper lever 138 can be attached to any of the slits 150a to 150d.
The tip of the is made insertable. The ball stop lever 138 is detachable from the connecting plate 140. As a result, the number of prize balls paid out by the prize ball payout device can be easily changed to an arbitrary number among one, two, three, four, and the like. This change applies to solenoid 14
Unlike the change in electrical control that changes the number of excitations in 2,
Since there is only a simple change of replacing the ball stop lever 138, there is an advantage that the change is easy.
