[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a separation winning apparatus which is mounted on a pachinko gaming machine and allows winning of a succeeding succeeding game ball after a lapse of time longer than a preset time from winning of the preceding preceding game ball.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a separation winning apparatus which is mounted on a pachinko gaming machine and allows winning of a succeeding succeeding gaming ball after a lapse of a time period longer than a preset time from winning of the preceding preceding gaming ball, for example, as illustrated in FIG. An outer edge member 504 having an annular outer edge member 504 fixed to a game board (not shown) of a pachinko machine and having a notch 502 for allowing a game ball to pass therethrough, and a concave portion 506 aligned with the notch 502. There is known a separation winning a prize device 510 including a rotating member 508 which is fitted inside and rotates clockwise. In addition, the separation winning device 510 is opened at a position corresponding to the track of the recessed portion 506 on the back surface side of the rotating member 508, and is connected to a winning ball gutter (not shown) mounted on the game board. An inflow port 512 is provided.

In this separation winning device 510, when the concave portion 506 is in a position corresponding to the cutout 502 according to the rotation of the rotating member 508, the preceding game ball (preceding game ball) B 1 is concave portion 506. Can fall into At this time, even if the succeeding game ball B2 follows the preceding game ball B1 and enters the notch 502, the recessed portion 506 is occupied by the preceding game ball B1, so that the succeeding gaming ball B2 is recessed portion 506. Does not fall (Fig. 8 (a)).

When the concave portion 506 is brought into a position in communication with the inlet 512 by the rotation of the rotating member 508, the preceding game ball B1 is discharged from the concave portion 506 to the inlet 512 (FIG. 8B). Further, the following game ball B2 is stopped in the notch 502 by the rotating member 508. Further, when the rotation member 508 continues to rotate and the recess 506 and the notch 502 are aligned, the succeeding game ball B2 falls into the recess 506 and is discharged to the inflow port 512 in the same manner as described above.

As described above, in the separation winning device 510, one rotation of the rotating member 508 is allowed to win one ball.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a conventional separation winning device 510, it is necessary to rotate the rotating member 508 at all times, and the drive motor is kept rotating during operation of the pachinko machine. Therefore, the drive motor continued to consume power while the pachinko machine was operating, that is, from the opening of the pachinko parlor to its closing.

This makes it difficult to save the power consumption of the entire pachinko parlor, and also lowers the degree of freedom in the power distribution to the accessory etc. for each pachinko machine. In addition, since the rotating member 508 is a large member, the area occupied by the separation and winning device 510 on the game board surface must be large, which is an obstacle when attaching other accessories to the game board. There was also.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the separation winning device according to claim 1 is mounted on a pachinko gaming machine, and a succeeding gaming ball that follows after a preset time or more has elapsed from the winning of the preceding preceding gaming ball. A separate winning device that allows winning, a winning ball passage provided with a ball entrance for entering a game ball and a ball exit for discharging a game ball, and an electromagnetic switch that is turned on each time a set waiting time elapses. Driven by the solenoid and the electromagnetic solenoid, when the electromagnetic solenoid is off, it is set to the first position for blocking passage of the preceding game ball through the winning ball passage, and when the electromagnetic solenoid is turned on. By providing a displacing member at a second position that allows passage of the preceding game ball through the winning ball passage and prevents passage of the succeeding game ball through the winning ball passage, the passage of the preceding game ball From before After passing the waiting time or more, the subsequent game balls are allowed to pass through the winning ball passage.

The separation winning device according to claim 2 is the separation winning device according to claim 1, wherein as the displacement member, the winning ball passage is blocked when moving forward, and the winning ball passage is opened when moving backward. The upper plate and the lower plate to be opened are linked so as to be reciprocally displaced in opposite directions, and the upper plate is arranged at the front entry opening side and the lower plate is larger than the radius of the game ball between the upper plate and the upper plate. It is characterized in that it is arranged on the side of the ball outlet while keeping a distance of less than 1.5 times the diameter of the game ball.

[0010]

[Action]

 In the separation winning device according to claim 1, which has the above-mentioned configuration, the winning ball passage guides the game ball entered from the entrance to the discharge port and discharges it, and the prize is obtained when the game ball passes through the prize ball passage. Is completed.

The electromagnetic solenoid is turned on every time the set waiting time elapses, the displacement member is in the first position when it is off, and the displacement member is in the second position when it is on. The displacement member prevents the preceding game ball from passing through the prize ball passage at the first position, allows the preceding game ball to pass through the prize ball passage at the second position, and prevents the succeeding game ball from passing through the prize ball passage. .

While the electromagnetic solenoid is turned off, that is, until the set waiting time elapses, since the displacement member is in the first position, until the passage of the waiting time or more from the passage of the preceding game ball The passage of subsequent game balls through the winning ball passage is blocked. Thereby, it is possible to secure the game balls at intervals longer than the waiting time and perform the winning process.

Since it suffices to energize the electromagnetic solenoid only when the displacement member is in the second position, it is not necessary to supply electric power to the electromagnetic solenoid throughout the entire operation of the pachinko machine. Moreover, since it is sufficient for a short time to leave the displacement member in the second position for passing the preceding game ball, the energizing time of the electromagnetic solenoid can be short. Therefore, the power consumption of the separated winning a prize device can be reduced, the power consumption of the entire pachinko parlor can be saved, and the degree of freedom in the power distribution for each pachinko machine to the accessory or the like can be improved.

In the separation winning device according to the second aspect, when the upper plate arranged on the entrance side and the lower plate arranged on the discharge port are reciprocally displaced in opposite directions, that is, when one of them advances. The other moves backward to block and open the winning ball passage. When the upper plate moves backward and the lower plate moves forward, the game balls are blocked by the lower plate from passing through the winning ball passage. That is, the displacement member is in the first position. On the other hand, when the upper plate moves forward and the lower plate retracts, the preceding game ball, which was blocked by the lower plate, is allowed to pass to the discharge port side, and the subsequent game ball is passed by the upper plate. Be blocked. That is, the displacement member is in the second position.

Since the lower plate in the first position and the upper plate in the second position prevent the game balls from passing through the winning ball passage, the preceding game ball and the succeeding game ball can be reliably separated. Moreover, since the winning ball passage is cut off by the reciprocating movement of the displacement member, the area for occupying the game board surface is sufficient only for the winning ball passage. Since the width of this winning ball passage may be slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball, the area occupied by the separation winning device on the game board surface can be small.

【Example】

 Next, some embodiments of the present invention will be described. (Embodiment 1) As shown in FIG. 1, the separation winning apparatus 10 of this embodiment includes a front plate 12 and a back plate 14 made of plastic, and a winning ball passage 16 is formed between them. , The back plate 14 is in contact with the surface P of the game board, and is mounted on a pachinko machine (not shown) as a third-class starting port for opening or expanding the ball entrance of the third-class special electric accessory. . The front plate 12 is almost transparent, and the inside of the winning ball passage 16 and the like can be visually recognized.

The winning ball passage 16 is provided with a ball entrance 18 opening at the upper end and a ball exit 20 formed by piercing the back plate 14. Further, a ball guide member 22 projecting from the front plate 12 toward the back plate 14 is provided below the front plate 12. The ball guide member 22 is inclined as shown in the drawing, and can guide the game ball falling from the ball inlet 18 side to the ball outlet 20.

A well-known proximity switch 24, which outputs a signal each time a game ball passes, is installed in the winning ball passage 16, and the passage of the game ball, that is, the winning can be detected. The signal from the proximity switch 24 is input to the control circuit of the pachinko machine and used for ordinary prize ball payout, and when the pachinko machine is in the special game state, the entrance hole of the third-class special electric auditor is opened. Alternatively, it is used as an activation signal for enlargement.

When the pachinko machine is not in the special game state, even if the proximity switch 24 detects the passage of the game ball, only a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as a prize ball, and the third-class special electric role The object cannot be operated. The back plate 14 has a pair of rectangular openings 26 and 28 formed above the proximity switch 24. The lower plate 26 has a lower plate 30 and the upper opening 28 has an upper plate 32. It is reciprocally inserted. Further, the back plate 14 is provided with a support 36 standing between the lower plate 30 and the upper plate 32 and provided with a shaft pin 34 at its tip end, and the shaft pin 34 has a link member 38. It is rotatably fitted. Engagement recesses 40 and 42 are provided at both ends of the link member 38. The engagement recess 40 engages with an engagement protrusion 44 provided near the center of the lower plate 30, and the engagement recess 42 is raised. It engages with an engagement protrusion 46 provided at the rear end of the plate 32.

On the other hand, a U-shaped engaging portion 48 is provided at the rear end of the lower plate 30, and the engaging portion 48 is a flange 54 provided at the tip of the shaft 52 of the electromagnetic solenoid 50. Is engaged with. The electromagnetic solenoid 50 has the shaft 52 and the flange 54 in the positions shown in the drawing by the urging force of a spring (not shown). However, when the power is supplied through a path (not shown) and the solenoid 54 is turned on, the flange 54 The shaft 52 is displaced in the direction of arrow R until the position is indicated by the broken line. That is, the shaft 52 and the flange 54 are moved backward and backward in the direction of arrow R and forward in the direction of arrow F according to the turning on and off of electric power. The lower plate 30 is moved forward and backward according to the displacement of the flange 54. Further, the upper plate 32 connected to the lower plate 30 via the link member 38 is moved forward and backward in the opposite direction to the lower plate 30.

Next, the operation of the separation-winning prize device 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 2 which schematically shows the main parts of the separate-winning prize device 10 and FIG. 3 which shows the on / off timing of the electromagnetic solenoid 50. . When the pachinko machine is in the special game state in which the third class special electric accessory is operated if there is an operation signal of the proximity switch 24, when the pachinko machine is in the special game state, as shown in FIG. The interval time t1 is set to about 11.5 seconds, and the on time is about 0.5 seconds. That is, the off state for 11 seconds and the on state for 0.5 seconds are alternately repeated. On the other hand, when the pachinko machine is not in the special game state, the interval time t2 of the electromagnetic solenoid 50 is set to about 30.5 seconds as shown in FIG. On for 5 seconds is repeated alternately.

As shown in FIG. 2, even when a game ball (preceding game ball) B1 enters from the ball entrance 18 when the electromagnetic solenoid 50 is turned off, this preceding game ball B1 is a lower plate. It is prevented from falling at 30. Even if another game ball (subsequent game ball) B2 comes in following the preceding game ball B1, this subsequent game ball B2 is prevented from falling by the preceding game ball B1 (see FIG. 2 (a)). . Therefore, in the state of FIG. 2A, not only the preceding game ball B1 but also the following game ball B2 is blocked from passing through the winning ball passage 16.

Next, when the electromagnetic solenoid 50 is turned on after 11 seconds (or 30 seconds) have passed, the lower plate 30 is retracted by the electromagnetic solenoid 50. At the same time, the upper plate 32 linked to the lower plate 30 is advanced (see FIG. 2 (b)). As a result, the preceding game ball B1 is released from the passage blocking state, falls, and is discharged from the ball discharge port 20. On the other hand, the succeeding game ball B2 is blocked by the upper plate 32 that moves forward and traverses the winning ball passage 16, and is stopped at the entrance 18 side.

When the electromagnetic solenoid 50 is turned off after a lapse of about 0.5 seconds, the lower plate 30 is moved forward and the upper plate 32 is moved backward (see FIG. 2C). The succeeding game ball B2 is released from the blocking state by the upper plate 32 and falls, but is blocked on the course by the lower plate 30 and stopped on the lower plate 30. This subsequent game ball B2 is guided to the ball discharge port 20 in the same manner as the preceding game ball B1 when the electromagnetic solenoid 50 is next turned on. Further, even if a subsequent game ball enters in the state of FIG. 2 (c), the fall is blocked in the same manner as described above.

As described above, in the separation winning device 10, it is possible to secure the winning process by securing at least 11 seconds (or 30 seconds) or more from the passage of the preceding game ball B1 to the passage of the subsequent game ball B2. Since it suffices to energize the electromagnetic solenoid 50 only for 0.5 seconds in which the lower plate 30 is moved backward and the upper plate 32 is moved forward, it is not necessary to supply electric power to the electromagnetic solenoid 50 during the entire operation of the pachinko machine. Moreover, the time for energizing the electromagnetic solenoid 50 to pass the preceding game ball B1 can be short. Therefore, the power consumption of the separation winning device 10 is reduced, the power consumption of the entire pachinko parlor can be saved, and the degree of freedom in the power distribution to the accessory or the like for each pachinko machine is improved.

Further, since the upper plate 32 and the lower plate 30 only appear and disappear in the winning ball passage 16 having a width slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball, the area occupied on the game board surface of the separation winning device 10 is reduced. Can be made smaller. Therefore, the game board surface can be used more effectively. (Second Embodiment) The separation winning apparatus 60 of this embodiment is an example in which the protruding direction of the shaft 64 of the electromagnetic solenoid 62 is opposite to that of the first embodiment. Since the main components are the same as those in the first embodiment, they will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, the winning ball passage 66 of the separation winning device 60 is formed between a front plate 68 and a back plate 70, and a ball entrance 72 is provided above and a ball exit 74 is provided below. It is being done. The lower plate 76 and the upper plate 78 that reciprocate through the back plate 70 are connected to each other by a link member 80. Further, a flange 84 provided at the tip of the shaft 64 of the electromagnetic solenoid 62 is engaged and connected to the rear end portion 82 of the upper plate 78.

When the electromagnetic solenoid 62 is turned on, the separation winning apparatus 60 moves the upper plate 78 forward and moves the lower plate 76 backward. When the electromagnetic solenoid 62 is off, the upper plate 78 is in the retracted position and the lower plate 76 is in the advanced position. With this configuration, the same operation as in the first embodiment and the same effect are exhibited. (Example 3) This example is an example of using a disk member.

As shown in FIG. 5, the winning ball passage 92 of the separation winning device 90 is formed between the front plate 94 and the back plate 96, and a ball entrance 98 is provided above and a ball discharge port 100 is provided below. It has been done. Further, a disc member 104 is arranged so as to penetrate through the through hole 102 provided in the back plate 96. The center of the disc member 104 is inside the winning ball passage 92, and is rotatably supported by a pin 106. On the disc member 104, an upper protrusion 108 and a lower protrusion 110 are provided upright at an interval of about 120 degrees. Further, the disc member 104 is provided with an engaging portion 114 having an elongated hole 112. An engaging projection 120 provided on a shaft 118 of the electromagnetic solenoid 116 is engaged with the elongated hole 112 so as to be relatively movable in the major axis direction of the elongated hole 112.

The on / off timing of the electromagnetic solenoid 116 is similar to that of the first embodiment. When the electromagnetic solenoid 116 is off, the shaft 118 is in the lowered position as shown in FIG. As shown in b), the shaft 118 is raised and the disc member 104 is rocked and reciprocated about the pin 106. Further, when the shaft 118 is in the lowered position, the lower projection 110 of the disc member 104 is in a position to prevent the game ball from passing through the winning ball passage 92, and the upper projection 108 prevents the game ball from passing through the winning ball passage 92. It is in an allowable position. On the other hand, when the shaft 118 is in the raised position, the lower protrusion 110 of the disc member 104 is in a position that allows the game ball to pass the winning ball passage 92, and the upper protrusion 108 blocks the game ball from passing the winning ball passage 92. In position.

As shown in FIG. 5A, when the shaft 118 is in the lowered position, even if there is a subsequent game ball B2 following the preceding game ball B1, there is a preceding game ball B1 and a subsequent game ball B2. Is prevented from falling by the lower protrusion 110. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), when the electromagnetic solenoid 116 is turned on and the shaft 118 is in the raised position, the succeeding game ball B2 is prevented from falling by the upper protrusion 108, but the preceding game ball. B1 is allowed to fall and is discharged from the ball discharge port 100.

Further, when the electromagnetic solenoid 116 is turned off and the disk member 104 is in the position shown in FIG. 5A, the succeeding game ball B2 is released from the blocked state by the upper protrusion 108, but further dropped by the lower protrusion 110. Is blocked and stopped on the lower protrusion 110. This subsequent game ball B2 drops into the ball discharge port 110 when the electromagnetic solenoid 116 is turned on next, similarly to the preceding game ball B1 described above.

In this way, in the separation winning device 90, as in the first and second embodiments, the set time (11 seconds or 30 seconds) is set from the passage of the preceding game ball B1 to the passage of the subsequent game ball B2. The winning process can be performed while ensuring the above, and the same effects as those of the first and second embodiments are exhibited. Furthermore, since the disk member 104 as the displacement member is a single component, the structure is simple. (Example 4) This example is an example of using an arc member.

As shown in FIG. 6, the winning ball passage 132 of the separation winning device 130 is formed between the front plate 134 and the back plate 136, and has a ball entrance 138 above and a ball exit 140 below. Has been. Further, a support 144 having a shaft pin 142 at its tip end is erected on the back plate 136, and a swing arm 146 is rotatably fitted to the shaft pin 142. An arc member 148 is connected to the tip of the swing arm 146, and the swing arm 146 and the arc member 148 are swingable within a slit 150 provided in the back plate 136. On the other hand, an elongated hole 152 is provided at the rear end of the swing arm 146, and an engaging protrusion 156 provided at one end of the connecting member 154 is provided in the elongated hole 152 in the major axis direction of the elongated hole 152. It engages so that relative movement is possible. Further, a flange 162 provided on the shaft 160 of the electromagnetic solenoid 158 is engaged with the other end of the connecting member 154 and is connected to the shaft 160.

The timing of turning on and off the electromagnetic solenoid 158 is similar to that of the first to third embodiments. When the electromagnetic solenoid 158 is off, the shaft 160 is in the lowered position as shown in FIG. The shaft 160 is raised as shown in (b). Further, the swing arm 146 is rotated about the shaft pin 142 with the displacement of the shaft 160. Therefore, the circular arc member 148 also swings back and forth according to the displacement of the shaft 160, and when the shaft 160 is in the lowered position, the lower end 148a of the circular arc member 148 prevents the game ball from passing through the winning ball passage 132. In the position, the upper end 148b is in a position that allows the game ball to pass the winning ball passage 132. On the other hand, when the shaft 160 is in the raised position, the lower end 148a of the arc member 148 is in a position that allows the game ball to pass the winning ball passage 132, and the upper end 148b is in a position that blocks the game ball from passing the winning ball passage 132. Become.

As shown in FIG. 6A, when the electromagnetic solenoid 158 is in the off state and the shaft 160 is in the lowered position, the preceding game ball B1 is followed by the succeeding game ball B2. The ball B1 and the following game ball B2 are prevented from falling by the lower end 148a of the arc member 148. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), when the electromagnetic solenoid 158 is turned on and the shaft 160 is in the raised position, the succeeding game ball B2 is prevented from falling by the upper end 148b of the arc member 148. The game ball B1 is allowed to drop and is discharged from the discharge port 140.

Further, when the electromagnetic solenoid 158 is turned off and the arc member 148 is in the position shown in FIG. 6A, the succeeding game ball B2 is released from the blocked state by the upper end 148b, but is prevented from falling further by the lower end 148a. Is stopped on the lower end 148a. This subsequent game ball B2 falls to the ball discharge port 140 when the electromagnetic solenoid 158 is turned on next, similarly to the preceding game ball B1 described above.

In this way, in the separation winning device 130, as in the first to third embodiments, from the passage of the preceding game ball B1 to the passage of the subsequent game ball B2, a set time (11 seconds or 30 seconds) is set. ) The above can be secured and the winning process can be performed, and the same effects as those of the first to third embodiments are exhibited. Further, since the circular arc member 148 as the displacement member and the swing arm 146 holding the circular arc member 148 are integral parts, the structure is simple. (Fifth Embodiment) This embodiment is an example of using a plate member that is swingably displaced in a direction traversing the winning ball passage.

As shown in FIG. 7, the winning ball passage 172 of the separation winning device 170 of this embodiment is provided at the side of the ball entering portion 176 communicating with the ball inlet 174 and the bottom 178 of the ball entering portion 176. The ball discharging portion 184 is connected to the ball entering portion 176 through the communication hole 180 and has a ball discharging portion 182 at the lower end.

On the other hand, a fan-shaped portion 186 having a central angle of approximately 90 degrees, a notch 188 that is connected to the outer side 186a of the fan-shaped portion 186 and is formed between the inner side 186b of the fan-shaped portion 186 and through which a game ball can pass. A plate member 192 including an arm 190 is arranged substantially parallel to the bottom 178 so as to traverse the winning ball passage 172. Further, a slit 195 through which the plate member 192 can pass is provided on the side wall 194 from the ball entering portion 176 to the ball discharging portion 184. Although the communication port 180 is sufficient for the game ball to pass through, when the arm 190 or the fan-shaped part 186 is located inside the communication port 180 as shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b). Therefore, the game ball cannot pass through the communication port 180.

Further, the plate member 192 is fitted and fixed with a swing shaft 196 having a center at a position where the fan-shaped portion 186 is at the center. The swing shaft 196 is connected to an electromagnetic solenoid (not shown) and is rotated within a range of about 90 degrees depending on whether the electromagnetic solenoid is on or off. Specifically, when the electromagnetic solenoid is off, the plate member 192 is in the position shown in FIG. 7 (b), and when the electromagnetic solenoid is on, the plate member 192 is in the position shown in FIG. 7 (d). , When the electromagnetic solenoid is turned from ON to ON, it turns counterclockwise (in the direction of arrow C) by about 90 degrees in the figure, and when the electromagnetic solenoid is turned from ON to OFF, it turns clockwise in the figure. It is rotated about 90 degrees in the direction of arrow D. The timing of turning on and off the electromagnetic solenoid is the same as in the first to fourth embodiments.

Next, the operation of this separation winning device 170 will be described. First, when the preceding game ball B1 enters from the ball entrance 174 when the electromagnetic solenoid is turned off, the preceding game ball B1 is laterally moved by the notch 188 and the wall of the ball entrance portion 176. Movement is restricted and is retained on the bottom 178. Further, as described above, the preceding game ball B1 cannot pass through the communication port 180. Furthermore, even if there is a subsequent game ball B2 following the preceding game ball B1, this succeeding game ball B2 is prevented from falling by the preceding game ball B1. Therefore, in the state of FIGS. 7A and 7B, not only the preceding game ball B1 but also the following game ball B2 is blocked from passing through the winning ball passage 172.

Next, when the electromagnetic solenoid is turned on after the set time has elapsed, the plate member 192 is rotated counterclockwise by about 90 degrees. At this time, the preceding game ball B1 is pushed by the inner side 186b of the fan-shaped portion 186 while being held in the notch 188, passes through the communication port 180, and moves to the ball discharging portion 184 side (FIG. 7 (c)). , FIG. 7D). When moving to the side of the ball discharging portion 184 and coming off the bottom 178, the preceding game ball B1 falls off the ball discharging portion 184 and is discharged from the ball discharging port 182. On the other hand, the subsequent game ball B2 descends in the ball entering portion 176 with the movement of the preceding game ball B1, but is blocked by the fan-shaped portion 186 from passing through the communication port 180, and is mounted on the fan-shaped portion 186. It remains inside the ball-in portion 176 in the installed state.

When the electromagnetic solenoid is turned off after a lapse of about 0.5 seconds, the plate member 192 is rotated clockwise by about 90 degrees, but the succeeding game ball B placed on the fan-shaped portion 186. The movement of No. 2 following the fan-shaped portion 186 is restricted by the side wall 194, and remains in the ball entering portion 176. When the fan-shaped portion 186 comes off the ball-in portion 176 and the notch 188 reaches the bottom 178, the subsequent game ball B2 falls into the notch 188 and is placed on the bottom 178 (FIG. 7 (b )reference). In this state, the succeeding game ball B2 is blocked from passing through the communication port 180, but when the electromagnetic solenoid is turned on next time, it moves to the ball discharging portion 184 similarly to the preceding game ball B1. It will be discharged from the ball discharge port 182.

As described above, in the separation winning device 170, at least 11 seconds (or 30 seconds) or more can be secured from the passage of the preceding game ball B1 to the passage of the succeeding game ball B2 to perform the prize processing. Since it suffices to energize the electromagnetic solenoid only for 0.5 seconds in which the plate member 192 is rotated, it is not necessary to supply power to the electromagnetic solenoid throughout the entire operation of the pachinko machine. Moreover, the time for energizing the electromagnetic solenoid to pass the preceding game ball B1 can be short. Therefore, the power consumption of the separated winning a prize device 170 is reduced, the power consumption of the entire pachinko parlor can be saved, and the degree of freedom in the power distribution to the accessory or the like for each pachinko machine is improved.

Further, in the separation winning device 170, since the plate member 192 is displaced along the direction traversing the winning ball passage 172, it is possible to reduce the vertical dimension of the separation winning device 170. The present invention has been described above according to some embodiments. However, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to such embodiments and can be variously implemented without departing from the scope of the present invention.
