2. Description of the Related Art A prize-ball generating apparatus in which a rotating body having a concave groove formed on a peripheral surface thereof is driven by a motor is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-16074. As described above, the use of the rotating body has an advantage that the winning state can be varied or the winning opportunities can be generated at predetermined intervals, thereby increasing the interest in pachinko games. However, in the conventional configuration, the rotating body is alternately rotated by the reversible rotation motor, and is used only for generating the winning as described above.

[0003]

On the other hand, in a winning opening / closing device which generates a so-called big hit, a predetermined number of winnings are accepted each time a ball enters a specific winning opening, or a timer is driven for a predetermined time. There is an open configuration. In this configuration, the winning count or the time limit progress is updated each time a specific winning opening is entered. For this reason, if a prize from a specific winning port occurs before the expiration of the winning ball count or the set time limit is consumed, the remaining count number or the remaining time is deleted and updated, thereby causing a disadvantage to the player. , The interest of pachinko games will be halved. An object of the present invention is to provide a winning ball generating device for a pachinko machine capable of causing a change in pachinko game by the rotating body as described above and removing the above-mentioned disadvantage of a player.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a prize hole communicating with a prize passage is formed , and a prize ball flows into an upper central portion.
A circular frame with a possible opening is provided on its front.

[0005]

In this configuration, the rotating body rotates at a predetermined rotation speed. And at the position where the groove matches the winning waiting path,
Accepts a hit ball from the waiting path. That is, when a hit ball flows into the winning waiting path, it becomes a winning ball and stays on the waiting path until the concave groove rotates and arrives. On the other hand, in the case of receiving a predetermined number of prize balls or driving another prize opening / closing device that is opened for a predetermined time by this prize ball, the prize count or the time limit is in progress. Even if a hit ball flows into the standby path and a winning ball is generated, the standby state is temporarily established. Therefore, for example, when only one concave groove is provided, during one rotation of the rotating body,
The winning state does not occur. Therefore, in the case where the opening state of the winning opening / closing device is controlled by a timer, if the time required for one rotation of the rotating body is made to coincide with the opening time of the winning opening / closing device, it is efficient for the player. The winning ball receiving state can be generated by the winning opening / closing device. Also, in the case where a counter is used, the count update is deferred until one rotation of the rotating body, so that a benefit is brought to the player. Furthermore, winning
