This center accessory is arranged at approximately the center of the game board of the pachinko machine, and forms a space for winning (accommodating) a pachinko ball inside. The center accessory mainly has a notch communicating with the game board and an opening / closing member that opens and closes the notch a predetermined number of times based on the winning of the starting opening and takes the hit pachinko ball into the center accessory. In addition, a small winning opening for performing a normal winning process according to a prize and a normal winning process for a prize, and a large winning process for continuously operating the opening / closing member for a predetermined time are provided inside the center accessory. There is a special winning opening.

Therefore, the opening / closing member takes the pachinko ball into the center accessory by the operation of the opening / closing member based on the winning of the starting opening. In addition, the pachinko balls taken in by the center
Sorting is performed in the left, right, middle, or up and down directions by the sorting device provided in the center role. Then, the pachinko balls taken in by the center winning a prize are won in the large winning opening or the small winning opening by this distribution. When the pachinko ball wins the big winning opening, the big winning process increases the winning probability for a predetermined time, so that the player is kept in an advantageous state.

For example, when this distribution is carried out by a rotatable accommodation plate in the center accessory, an accommodation hole for accommodating a pachinko ball is arranged in an annular shape in the accommodation plate around the axis of rotation and is taken into the center accessory. The pachinko balls are distributed to the left and right, the middle direction, or the vertical direction depending on whether or not the pachinko balls enter the accommodation hole. Then, a special winning opening and a small winning opening are provided at predetermined locations of the center accessory. Then, when the pachinko ball taken into the center accessory wins the special winning opening during the continuous operation of the opening / closing member, the continuous operation of the opening / closing member is restarted, which increases the winning probability, that is, is advantageous to the player. The right is extended. It should be noted that there was no prize winning device for sorting the pachinko balls taken in by the center accessory in the front-back direction.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the above-described winning device, the pachinko ball taken in by the center accessory immediately wins the big prize hole or the small prize hole, and becomes the small prize hole to which the normal winning process is performed. Expectations for the winning pachinko ball (outside ball) are weakened. That is, there is a problem in that the change in game with respect to the lost ball becomes poor, and the willingness to play decreases. Further, the center accessory using the rotatable accommodation plate tends to be large in size because the accommodation hole is annularly arranged around the axis of rotation. For this reason, there has been a problem that the design of the pachinko machine, especially around the center role, is greatly restricted.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a winning device for a pachinko machine provided with a sense of expectation and a change in game for the missed ball, by effectively using the pachinko ball that wins a small winning opening.

Next, in order to play a game with the device 1 having the above-described configuration, first, the handle 33 is operated to continuously shoot pachinko balls. When these launch balls win the starting opening 7, the control device detects the winning and operates the opening / closing solenoid 22 to open / close the notch 4 a predetermined number of times by the opening / closing member 8. The launch ball is a center accessory 3 depending on the opening / closing timing of the opening / closing member 8.
It is taken in.

The pachinko ball is first taken into the first space 42 from the notch 4, passes through the detection hole 50 of the proximity sensor 43 provided on the partition plate 41, which is the bottom surface, and flows down into the second space 47.
The proximity sensor 43 provided on the partition plate 41 is provided to measure the total number of pachinko balls taken into the center accessory 3, as described above.

Subsequently, the pachinko ball that has flown into the second space 47 is converged in the guide recess 55 by its own weight because the guide means 9 serving as the bottom surface has a substantially V-shaped cross section (see FIG. 2). Furthermore, since the guiding means 9 is provided so as to incline downward from the front space portion 5 side toward the rear space portion 6 (see FIG. 4), it is flown down toward the rear space portion 6 by its own weight. It

Here, the guiding means 9 and the rear space portion 6 are
Since they are connected by the guide protrusion 56 provided on
The pachinko ball enters the posterior space 6 through the guiding protrusion 56. When the pachinko ball flowing down the guiding means 9 toward the rear space portion 6 comes off the guiding projection 56, it is provided below the second space 47 without entering the rear space portion 6. It will flow directly into the third space 49.

The pachinko ball flowing down the guiding means 9 is placed in the front space 5
Further, the pachinko balls are guided to the communication point 16 of the rear space section 6, and the pachinko balls are distributed to the front space section 5 or the rear space section 6 by the conveying means 13 at the communication point 16.

That is, since the communication point 16 is opened and closed by moving the transfer plate 30a, which is a constituent member of the transfer means 13, up and down, depending on the timing of opening and closing of the pachinko ball, when the communication point 16 is closed. Is distributed to the front space 5, and to the rear space 6 when the one communication point 16 is open, and so on. When the pachinko ball collides with the carrier plate 30b when the carrier plate 30a which is the carrier means 13 opens the communication point 16, the pachinko ball is held on the slope 18 of the carrier plate 30a, so that the front space It will not be assigned to Part 5.

When the pachinko balls are distributed to the rear space portion 6 by the guiding means 13, first, they are held on the slope 18 at the upper part of the conveying means 30a. As already described above, since the transport plates 30a and 30c move up and down in the same phase and the transport plate 30b moves up and down in the opposite phase to the transport plates 30a and 30c, the transport plates are distributed to the rear space 6 and the transport plates are distributed.
When the carrier plate 30a moves upward, the pachinko ball held by 30a flows down to the slope 18 of the carrier plate 30b due to its own weight, and similarly passes through the carrier plate 30c and is transported to the recovery port 11. When the recovery port 11 is open, the pachinko balls conveyed to the recovery port 11 are recovered in the recovery passage 10 and the normal winning process is performed.

On the other hand, when the pachinko balls are distributed to the front space portion 5 by the transport means 13, the pachinko balls flow down into the third space 49 provided below the guiding means 9. Since the lower plate 48 forming the bottom surface of the third space 49 is inclined so that the front side is lower toward the player as described above, the pachinko ball that has entered the third space 49 is , Small prize hole 14,14 or large prize hole 15 provided on the front side of the lower plate 48
Win one of the following. When the pachinko ball wins the small winning port 14, the normal winning process is performed, while when the pachinko ball wins the large winning port 15, the large winning process is performed. That is, the opening / closing member 8 is an opening / closing solenoid.
When the operation of 22 is started, the notch 4 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times, for example, 18 times, and at the same time, the closing solenoid 59 starts to operate and the opening / closing plate 58 closes the recovery port 11.

At this time, the pachinko balls distributed to the rear space portion 6 are transported to the recovery port 11 while being held by the slope 18 of the transport plate 30 and the surface of the transport plate 30 located on the front space portion 5 side. Therefore, during the winning process, the collection port 11 is
Since it is closed by the (opening / closing plate 58), the rear space 6
The pachinko balls that have been distributed to are accumulated and accumulated in the rear space portion 6. Eventually, these pachinko balls become saturated in the rear space portion 6.

After that, all the pachinko balls guided from the front space portion 5 to the rear space portion 6 by the guiding means 9 are subjected to the above-mentioned saturated state, that is, the normal winning (removal processing) staying in the rear space portion 6. When the pachinko balls are blocked from flowing into the rear space portion 6 and these pachinko balls win the special winning opening 15 during the big winning process, the big winning process is newly started and the above-mentioned winning probability is exceeded. The expanded state continues again. The pachinko balls continuously fired during the big winning process are continuously taken into the center accessory 3 in accordance with the opening / closing timing of the opening / closing member 8, and when the rear space 6 becomes saturated, all the pachinko balls are transferred to the front space 5. Since the pachinko balls of are distributed,
Win the small prize hole 14 or the large prize hole 15. Therefore, these pachinko balls always win the small winning opening 14 or the large winning opening 15, and the winning probability increases. Therefore, with the pachinko ball that is usually awarded, the big prize hole 15
Since it is distributed to the front space portion 5 in which the player is provided, an expectation for the big winning process is generated in the player. The open / close plate 58 is opened / closed by a closing solenoid 59 at the time of a big winning, based on a setting condition of a timer (not shown) built in the control circuit. As a result, the pachinko balls retained in the rear space portion 6 are recovered by the transport means 13 via the recovery port 11 according to the operation timing of the built-in timer at the time of a big winning.
Guided to 10.

After the above big winning process is completed, the opening / closing means 12 is the collection port.
Since the closing of 11 is stopped, the pachinko balls staying in the rear space portion 6 are transferred to the recovery port 11 by the transfer means 13 and recovered, and the normal winning process is applied to these pachinko balls. The small winning opening 14 and the large winning opening 15 may be provided in the collection passage 10. In this case, it is desirable to arrange the pachinko balls in a position where the player can confirm the state in which the pachinko balls win the both winning openings 14 and 15, and all the pachinko balls distributed to the front space portion 5 are collected.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where both the winning openings 14 and 15 are provided in the front space 5 or the collection passage 10 has been described, but the big winning opening 15 is provided in the collection passage 10 and the small winning opening 14 is provided in the front space 5. Maybe,
This case will be described below with reference to FIG. In the figure, the same parts as those in the above embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals,
The description is omitted.

In this embodiment, the entire third space 49 is used as the small winning port 14, and all the pachinko balls that have flowed into the third space 49 are subjected to normal winning processing. And the lower plate 48 has a small winning opening
There is an opening / closing device 120 that opens and closes 14 to control the flow of pachinko balls into the third space 49.
It is set at 0. In other words, all the pachinko balls assigned to the rear space 6 win the special winning opening 15. The above-mentioned proximity sensor 43 is provided at the special winning opening 15 indicated by the two-dot chain line, detects the winning state of the special winning opening 15, and inputs this detection signal to the control device. Further, these proximity sensors 43 may be replaced by an optical sensor (not shown) including a light emitting element and a light receiving element.

The opening / closing device 120 includes a rotating member 121, a retractable solenoid 122, and a retractable member 123, and the retractable member 123 is slidably inserted into a retractable hole 124 formed in the lower plate 48. Further, the closing solenoid 59 as the opening / closing means 12 is not provided, and the opening / closing plate 58 is rotatably provided. That is, the opening / closing means 12
Is always open.

The retractable solenoid 122 pushes one end of a rotating member 121, which is rotatably supported on the bottom of the middle frame 76, to rotate it in the clockwise direction during operation. As a result, the retractable member 123 is rotated by the rotating member 121.
As a result, the pachinko ball protrudes from the indentation hole 124 and is prevented from flowing into the third space 49. When the retracting solenoid 122 is not operated (normally), the retracting member 123 is inserted into the retracting hole 12.
Does not protrude from 4. Controlled by the control circuit, the winning hole 1
By winning a pachinko ball in 5, it will operate at a preset timing.

Further, the guiding means 9 is not provided with the guiding protrusion 56, and the pachinko ball taken into the center accessory 3 is communicated with the pachinko ball by the energy obtained when it falls from the partition plate 41 to the second space 47. It is guided to the rear space 6 via 16.

 The operation of the center accessory 3 having the above structure will be described below.

The pachinko ball taken into the center accessory 3 flows down from the detection hole 50 of the partition plate 41 forming the bottom surface of the first space 42 to the second space 47 and forms the bottom surface of the second space 47. It is guided to the rear space portion 6 by the guiding means 9. Then, the pachinko balls are distributed to the front space portion 5 or the rear space portion 6 according to the operation timing of the transporting means 13. When this pachinko ball is distributed to the front space part 5, that is, the small prize hole 14 (third space 49), a normal winning process is performed, and when it is allocated to the rear space part 6, the prize hole 15 is won. Therefore, a big prize process is performed.

The control circuit is a solenoid that appears and disappears at a predetermined timing.
Since the 122 is operated, the retractable member 123 is projected from the retractable hole 124 by the rotating member 121 (see FIG. 15). Therefore, the pachinko ball taken into the center accessory 3 first stays in the third space 49 by the retractable member 123. Subsequently, the subsequent pachinko ball taken into the center accessory 3 and flowing down along the inclination of the flow means 9 is guided by the guide means 9.
With the momentum flowing down from the third space 4
After passing over the pachinko ball stopped at 9, it flows into the rear space 6.

In the pachinko ball taken in by the center accessory 3 in this way, the retractable member 123 projects from the retractable hole 124 to cause the third space 49.
When the pachinko ball is parked at, all the subsequent pachinko balls will win the special winning opening 15. Since the flow of the pachinko balls as described above is possible, the player is expected to have an expectation for the big winning process.

Further, as a difference from both the above-mentioned embodiments, as shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, the transporting means 13 is composed of a storage plate 20 in which a storage hole 19 for storing a pachinko ball is annularly arranged on the periphery. In some cases, the housing plate 20 is configured to be rotatable. In the figure, the same parts as those in the above embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

Further, a motor 74 having a shaft fitted to the rotation shaft thereof is connected to the storage plate 20, and the storage plate 20 is constantly rotated at a low speed around the rotation shaft. Furthermore, the accommodation plate
A cutout 125 is formed in a portion of the outer periphery corresponding to the accommodation hole 19, and the cutout 125 allows a pachinko ball to pass therethrough. The collection port 11 is opened and closed by an opening / closing plate 58 controlled by the opening / closing solenoid 22. The collection port 11 is opened by a closing solenoid 59 in normal times and opened / closed at a predetermined timing at the time of big winning.

In the case of the embodiment, the pachinko ball taken into the center accessory 3 is guided to the rear space 6 by the guiding means 9. The pachinko balls are distributed to the front space portion 5 or the rear space portion 6 (accommodation hole 19) depending on the operation timing of the transport means 13, that is, the arrangement of the accommodation hole 19 according to the rotation. When this pachinko ball is distributed to the front space 5,

Here, when the pachinko balls taken into the center character 3 win the special winning opening 15, the big winning process is performed, so the launch balls are continuously taken into the center character 3, and eventually all the accommodation holes. Pachinko balls are stored in 19. After that, all the pachinko balls taken into the center accessory 3 cannot enter the rear space portion 6 because the pachinko balls stored (stopped) in the storage plate 20 and the storage hole 19 cannot enter the front space. Allotted to Part 5. In other words, the pachinko ball taken into the center accessory 3 is a pachinko ball that is subjected to the normal winning (off) processing that is carried out when the pachinko ball is held in the accommodation hole 19 and then collected in the collecting passage 10. By being blocked from entering the space 6, it is distributed to the front space 5 in which the special winning opening 15 is provided.

When the opening / closing member 8 is controlled by the opening / closing solenoid 22, as shown in FIG. 3, the opening / closing solenoid 22 is attached to the mounting portion 26 provided on the upper portion 23 of the center accessory 3, so that the depth and side of the center accessory 3 can be increased. Part space can be used effectively. In addition, the open / close solenoid 22 is attached
