DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric prize winning device for a pachinko machine, and more particularly, to an electric prize winning area for a pachinko ball (also referred to as a game ball) hit in a game board. The present invention relates to an electric winning device that can be changed between a closed state and an open state using a power means.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In this type of electric prize winning device implemented on a game board of a pachinko machine, an opening / closing member such as a door or a wing that constitutes a prize area for a game ball has an opening / closing member including an electromagnetic solenoid and a connecting member. It has a basic structure that is opened and closed using a drive control mechanism and the like, and is generally referred to as an “electrically-powered accessory (denyakumono)”. And in this "motorized accessory", as one of the categories on the model, the one with a large entrance size of the prize area is treated as a "large prize device", and as one of the representative examples, In the form where the door plate-like opening / closing member opposite to the horizontally long winning opening changes to a closed and open state, there is a large electric accessory commonly called `` attacker type '', and it is widely used ing.

[0003] By the way, this "attacker type" electric accessory is, when compared with the "wing type (also referred to as hikoki type)", which is used as another representative example of the grand prize winning device, of the same type. There are few such changes in the game operation, and there are few attached movable objects related to the winning prize ball, and the overall appearance is low, but on the other hand, it can be said that the advantage is that the height is small and the horizontal winning opening is small in the structure and form. . For this reason, in the "attacker type", in many cases, in the field of the art, there are "Pachinko gaming machines with a type 1 accessory continuous operation device" and "pachinko gaming machines with a type 3 starting port". It is implemented on each of the pachinko machines referred to. In each of the pachinko machines, as a game operation adapted to the content of the game, on the premise that a special game condition is established or a right to open is established and an operating condition is established during this period, an opening time setting and a large time for the opening / closing member are set. A predetermined opening operation is performed within a specified range for setting the number of winning balls in the winning opening.

[0004]

As for the above-mentioned "attacker type" electric accessory (grand prize winning device), most of the electric accessories used up to the present time are located at the center of the main body 61 as illustrated in FIG. A door plate 63 is inserted in the formed horizontally long winning opening 62.
Are arranged opposite to each other so as to be able to change between a closed state in which the drive control mechanism 64 is actuated and an open state in which the drive control mechanism 64 is tilted forward, and a game ball received on the opened door plate 63 is inserted into the special winning opening 62. You will be guided and enter. In other words, if a game ball is received on the door plate 63, the ball will naturally enter the special winning opening 62 and become a safe ball as it is. Without the taste
It is just a simple prize itself.

[0005] For this reason, in this kind of electric accessory, the door plate 63 is kept open for a set time by a predetermined opening operation state in the game content condition developed by the pachinko machine. Even if it is permitted, a large number of game balls are provided in the special winning opening 62 in a relatively short time with respect to the set time.
Once inside and reach the specified number as a safe ball,
At that time, the opening operation is immediately terminated, and the door plate 63 is returned to the original closed position and held. For this reason, even if the electric accessory is set to the opening operation state, it is possible for the player to fully enjoy the winning mode of the game ball for the set opening time or to enjoy the pleasure of enjoying the game state. It is running low.

In other words, with respect to the conventional “attacker type” electric accessory, the game ball received by the opened door plate 63 during the opening operation enters the special winning opening 62 and becomes a safe ball. This is based on the simple concept that it is only necessary to provide a game ball, and there has been no idea to make a new change in the winning mode of the game ball, and there has been no technology provided with the technical means. For this reason, lamps, decorative covers, and the like are generally used to enhance the overall appearance by adding lamps, decorative covers, and the like, and a safe ball in the special winning opening 62 is partially used. There is a situation in which a material that can be seen through from the outside (front side) is used.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem suitably. In an opening operation state, a winning area in which a game ball received in a ball receiving area is a safe ball is provided. Separately, it is possible to separately and separately pass through to the play discharge area, which is a play ball (non-safe ball), to make a new change in the winning mode of the game ball and enhance its appeal, It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric winning device capable of enjoying a state as long as possible.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems and appropriately achieve the intended purpose, an electric winning machine for a pachinko machine according to the present invention comprises a main body mounted on a game board. A ball receiving area formed on the front side of the main body and capable of receiving a game ball; a prize area formed on the front of the main body to allow a game ball entering the ball receiving area to be awarded as a safe ball; A safe ball exit area that can pass through to the inside back side, and a game ball formed between the ball receiving area and the winning area, and the game ball entering the ball receiving area is passed in as a play ball, and the front of the game board An idle opening / closing area for opening and closing the entrance of the prize area, and a drive control mechanism for changing the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing element based on a set condition. For the game ball, the opening and closing unit In the state where is held in the closed position, it is allowed to pass through the idle discharge area, and in the state where the opening and closing member is held in the open position, each of the opening and closing members is appropriately divided toward the winning area and the idle discharge area. It is characterized by being able to pass through.

[0009]

In the above-described electric winning device of the present invention, before the normal opening operation, the opening / closing member is held at the closed position with respect to the winning region, so that the game ball entering the ball receiving region wins. While passing through the area (winning) while being blocked while entering the idle discharge area, during opening operation, the opening / closing member is changed to the open position with respect to the winning area, thereby entering the ball receiving area. The game balls are separately passed into the winning area and the play discharge area, and are appropriately divided into safe balls and non-safe balls, so that the winning mode of the game balls is changed.

[0010]

[0021]

The operation of the electric prize winning apparatus of the present embodiment constructed as described above differs in the game state and the opening operation mode depending on the game contents of the pachinko machine to be implemented. And the like.

First, before the normal opening operation, since the electromagnetic solenoid 22 is in a stopped state, as shown in FIG. 5, the opening / closing member 15 is stopped at a position where the large winning opening 5 is fully closed at the lower end. . For this reason, during the game, the game balls received from the receiving frame 7 of the ball receiving member 6 into the ball receiving area A are introduced into the inside along the respective portions on the guide plate 8, and the opening and closing members 15 Winning opening 5 with opening and closing plate 18
While being prevented from entering, the vehicle enters the playroom 4 from the entrances 9 on both sides of the guide plate 8 while being guided left and right at the front surface of the opening and closing plate 18. Then, the game room 4 idles (falls) and is finally guided to the center of the bottom surface of the game room 4 and is discharged from the discharge port 11 to the front of the game board.

On the other hand, during the game, when the special game state is established, the opening operation right is generated, and the opening operation condition is established, the opening operation is given to the device itself based on this. Then, when the electromagnetic solenoid 22 is energized (operated) for a predetermined time from an appropriate point in time, as shown in FIG. 6, the opening / closing member 15 is moved to the rising end via the operating member 24 accompanying the pulling of the rod 23. The opening motion is changed, and the special winning opening 5 is fully opened and held. Therefore, as described above, the ball receiving area A
The safe ball that passes through the special winning opening 5 that is introduced inside along the guide plate 8 and the game ball that passes through the entrances 9 on both sides of the guide plate 8 as described above. Is distributed in a natural state with the idle ball component.

The above-mentioned safe ball is introduced into the safe ball passage area C along each part of the guide plate 8 and enters one of the first and second passages 13L and 13R. Each of the detection switches 28,
Each time it passes through the 29 detection ports 28a, 29a, it is detected and discharged to the back side of the game board.

In the safe ball passing-in / out process, the time point at which the specified number of safe balls is reached by the count detection of the detection switches 28 and 29 or the time point when the set time of the operation of the electromagnetic solenoid 22 has elapsed (time-up), whichever is earlier. When it is established, the opening operation is completed, and the opening / closing member 15 is returned to the original closed position with respect to the special winning opening 5 with the return of the stop of the solenoid 22. Note that the above-mentioned idle ball is returned from the outlet 11 as an unsafe ball in the same manner as described above.

In the above-described situation in which game balls pass under the opening operation conditions, the safe ball portion and the play ball portion include the direction (angle) of entry of the game ball into the ball receiving area A, the falling force, and the like. Due to the fact that the upper surface condition of the guide plate 8 is one of the factors and the distribution is performed in a truly natural state, the manner of entry and the number ratio of each ball are completely irregular and unspecified. A new sensation and change will be played in the winning style of the safe ball. By the way, when the game balls received in the ball receiving area A during opening of the special winning opening 5, when a certain time unit, either the safe balls or the play balls increase, or approximately the same number of balls. Even if it is possible, the total number of safe balls is increased throughout the opening time, but many game balls enter in a relatively short time and reach the specified number as safe balls as they are This situation is avoided.

(Embodiment Example) As a typical embodiment, the electric winning system of the present embodiment, which plays the above-mentioned gaming state and opening operation, is a "first-type accessory continuous operation device" schematically shown in FIG. The pachinko gaming machine with a "type" and the "pachinko gaming machine with a type 3 starting port" schematically shown in FIG. 8 are installed at required portions of respective game boards P, and predetermined operating conditions are set so as to be adapted to the respective game contents. It is preferably implemented. However, for each pachinko machine, the basic configuration and game contents are the same as the conventional one, and only the game board P is illustrated, and the electrical control technology and the like are not the gist of the present invention. The description is omitted.

Therefore, an embodiment using a pachinko machine shown in FIG. 7 will be described first. That is, in this case, the electromagnetic solenoid 22
Operable time T seconds, the specified number of safe balls n, the number of times the opening operation can be continued N times, the first detection switch 28 is dedicated to counting, and the second detection switch 29 is counted and continued based on the detection of a specific safe. It is assumed that the condition is satisfied, and that both winning tools 30 are used as a first-class starting winning port.

Under these setting conditions, in the pachinko machine, when a game ball hit into the game board P enters each of the prize-winning tools 30, based on the detection signal of the detection switch 34,
A symbol variable game using the symbol display device (including a digital format, a liquid crystal format, a rotating drum format, etc.) 41 is developed, and the symbol combination of the device 41 is determined. When the special game state is established based on this, in the winning device of the present embodiment, the opening operation condition is given as described above, and the opening and closing member 15 is opened by the operation of the electromagnetic solenoid 22.
To release. During this time, each safe ball is counted and detected by both the detection switches 28 and 29 while allowing the game ball entering the ball receiving area A to naturally pass through the safe ball and the play ball.

Then, as a game condition of the device itself, detection of a specified number of safe balls and detection of the electromagnetic solenoid 22
The opening operation is terminated and stopped at an earlier time point of the time-up, and the opening and closing member 15 closes the special winning opening 5. Further, based on the detection of a specific safe ball (referred to as a safe ball entering and exiting the second passage 13R) by the second detection switch 29, a continuation condition for enabling the next opening operation is established. Based on the premise, the opening operation up to the set number of times can be continued.

In FIG. 7, reference numeral 42 denotes a prize winning device 3.
Reference numeral 43 denotes another type 1 starting port having the same function as 0, and reference numeral 43 denotes another winning tool.

Next, an embodiment using a pachinko machine shown in FIG. 8 will be described. That the setting condition according to the winning device of this embodiment in this case, operating times T ₁ second electromagnetic solenoid 22, defining the number of n-safe ball, opened continuously operating allowable number N of times of, first, of the second Detection switch 28,
It is assumed that 29 is dedicated to counting or one of the switches is omitted (removal or detection is not possible), and both winning tools 30, 30 are used as a third-type starting winning port for establishing the opening operation condition.

Under these setting conditions, in the pachinko machine, a special device (including a detecting means and a symbol displaying means) is provided in a process in which a game ball hit into the gaming board P enters the specific winning opening 44.
The opening operation right condition is generated based on the actuation of 45, and during the right generation (survival), the opening operation condition is set based on the detection of another game ball entering each winning device 30, 30. It is established. As a result, in the winning device of the present embodiment, the opening operation is given as described above, and the game balls entering the ball receiving area A are naturally divided into safe balls and playing balls while the large winning opening 5 is opened. While passing, each safe ball is counted and detected by the detection switches 28 and 29.

As the game state conditions of the device itself, detection of the count of a specified number of safe balls and detection of the electromagnetic solenoid 2
The opening operation is terminated and stopped at an earlier time point of the time-up of 2, and the special winning opening 5 is closed. The next opening operation condition is established based on the detection of the game ball reentering each prize device 30, and the opening operation up to a set number of times can be continued each time the condition is satisfied.

However, in this type of pachinko machine, a symbol display device 46 and a small electric accessory 47 which is opened and operated based on the symbol judgment of the device 46 are arranged at required other portions of the game board P. In the case where a third-type start winning opening (not shown) is separately provided, both of the winning tools 30, 30 in the winning device of the present embodiment can be used as an operating winning opening for the symbol display device 46. It is possible. It is also possible to use one of the detection switches 28 and 29 for counting only, and use the other for detecting a safe ball entering the third-type starting winning opening. In FIG. 8, reference numeral 48 indicates another winning tool.

As described above, according to the electric winning device of the present embodiment, in the embodiment of each pachinko machine, all the game balls that have entered the ball receiving area A during the opening operation of the device itself are safe. By being able to separate and pass naturally into the ball and the recreational ball, new changes are made to the manner of entry of each ball and the manner of winning the safe ball, adding a special touch. The time required for the count detection becomes longer, and the opening state of the special winning opening 5 and thus the opening operation of the apparatus itself are maintained for a longer time, so that a comfortable game can be enjoyed while enjoying the game state. In addition, the change in the division of the safe ball and the play ball of the game ball that has entered the ball receiving area A and the state of entry of each ball thereafter are visually recognized from the front.
Since it is possible (through see-through), the fun of the game state of the electric winning device itself increases.

At the center of the front part of the plate 8, an opening 8 a for an idling ball, which is closed and opened by the opening / closing member 15, is opened, and a receiving edge 8 b for the opening / closing member 15 is formed at a lower position on both sides thereof. . And opening and closing member 1
In a state where the entrance 8a is closed and the special winning opening 5 is opened at the front end position, the game ball entering the receiving frame 7 is moved from the opening / closing member 15 to the safe winning opening 5 with the safe ball on both sides. An example in which it is possible to separately pass through a play ball from the entrance 7a to the entrance 9.
The opening / closing plate portion 15b of the opening / closing member 15 is desirably lower than the inner end of the bottom surface of the receiving frame 7 and has an appropriate height that can prevent the play ball from passing into the special winning opening 5.

In each of the above-described modifications, the same reference numerals are given to the same or equivalent parts as those in the present embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. . The ball receiving member 6 shown in each figure
When the receiving frame 7 has an opening width larger than the special winning opening 5 as described in the above, between the receiving frame 7 and the winning tool 30 on each side shown in the present embodiment, a game ball is provided. The circulation interval G may be omitted.

Incidentally, as a technical proposal other than the above-mentioned modifications (1) to (5), although not shown, the opening / closing member is formed as a pair of left and right double-sided doors. An example in which the winning opening is opened, and an example in which the big winning opening is opened when the movement to the outside is changed as a pair of left and right sliding doors are possible. Further, in each of the modified examples, as described above, the basic premise of allowing the game ball to separately pass into the safe ball and the play ball is that the game ball is provided between the ball receiving area and the special winning opening. It is possible to add movable guide means relating to ball selection and guidance, etc., and during the opening of the big winning opening, the movable guide member is required to meet the required conditions (for example, within a predetermined time or when a predetermined number of game balls are won). It is also possible to make the game ball actively and forcibly guide the winning.

As described above, the electric winning device for a pachinko machine according to the present invention has an opening / closing member that is operated in conjunction with an electric drive control mechanism so that a winning area for a game ball can be opened and closed. During the game in the pachinko machine of the type to be implemented, the opening operation of the device is performed based on the establishment of special game conditions and the like, and the opening area of the opening / closing member opens the prize area. In the state where is opened, the game ball that has entered the ball receiving area ahead of this winning area,
Dividing naturally in each direction to allow the safe ball to enter the winning area and the free ball (non-safe ball) to enter another idling area at an unspecified ratio. Can be.

As a result, a state in which game balls are diverted in the respective directions or a state in which the safe balls and the play balls are separately passed between the ball receiving area and the traffic area which is continuous with the play area and the winning area. Is a new change. In particular, the prize generation mode of the safe ball has a special sensation, and during the opening of the prize area, it is premised that a large number of safe balls will be generated in comparison with the playing ball, and many game balls will be generated in a short time. It is possible to avoid a state in which prizes are concentrated (continuously) as much as possible, and it is possible to lengthen the prize winning situation. For this reason, as one of the implementation setting conditions of the device itself, when the winning number of safe balls within the permitted opening time of the prize area is defined and limited, the detection of the count up to the specified number of safe balls is performed. The required time can be prolonged, and in this connection, the open state of the prize area can be maintained for a long time, and thus the opening operation state of the entire apparatus can be maintained as long as possible within the allowable set time.

Therefore, the electric winning device according to the present invention has new features that are excellent in its operation and in the overall playing state including the above-described ball passing mode, and utilizing these features, each pachinko machine is used. The game state can be suitably implemented in the game machine, and a game state adapted to the contents of the game can be achieved. Then, the player can enjoy a comfortable game for a long time while enjoying a change and a special taste of the original game state of the device in the pachinko machine.
