It is the subject.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises a pachinko machine 11, a first ball lump portion 20 formed so as not to be able to carry out balls, and a ball striking-out portion 21, and at least one coin or the like is inserted. As a condition of operation, the device operates and may be played for a certain period of time, or until a certain number of balls are held by the player, or until a certain number of balls is reached, until a certain end condition is satisfied. In a possible pachinko game apparatus, a second ball pool 30 which is formed so as not to be able to carry out a ball and has a view of the inside, and one or more ball storages 40, 41, 42 which project from the apparatus main body 10 are provided for each ball. Inside the hangars 40, 41 and 42, the pachinko balls are stored so that they cannot be taken away and the presence of the pachinko balls can be recognized, or the pachinko balls are stored inside. When the number of balls held exceeds a certain number, or when the shot balls are in a state of continuously entering the specific hit hole 17 of the pachinko machine 11, the second ball is added. When the pachinko balls are discharged into the accumulation part 30 and / or the ball storages 40, 41, 42 are made to appear from the apparatus body 10 to the outside thereof, and the number of balls held decreases to a certain number or less, the second ball It is configured such that the number of pachinko balls in the accumulating portion 30 decreases or disappears and / or the ball storages 40, 41 are immersed in the apparatus body 10. On the other hand, the pachinko balls discharged into the second ball pool 30 are configured to circulate independently of the path of the pachinko balls circulating through the pachinko board 11 and the first ball pool 20.

With such a configuration, it is not possible to actually pick up balls, but when the number of acquired balls increases beyond a certain number, or in a so-called fever state, the balls are When the ball enters the contact hole 17 continuously, it is possible to visually confirm that the balls are discharged into the second ball pool 30 and the number of balls held increases. In addition to that, ball storages 40, 41, 42 having the appearance that the pachinko balls are stored in advance are put out from the device main body 10 so that, for example, the drawer automatically comes out. The player can be placed in a situation where he has visually gained a lot of balls. In addition, the pachinko balls that are actually used need only be those that are struck and circulated in the pachinko board 11 and those that circulate by appearing and circulating in the second ball pool 30, and are the same as the balls actually acquired. It does not require a number of pachinko balls to be inside the device.

[0006]

[Embodiment of device]

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings all illustrate embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective explanatory view of a pachinko game machine according to the present invention. A pachinko board 11 is fitted in the upper part of the front surface of the box-shaped device body 10. This pachinko board 11 is the same as the pachinko board used in general pachinko parlors. That is, the hitting path 12 for hitting balls, the turning wheel 13 and nails 14 for changing the falling direction of the balls, the plural hitting holes 15, and the hitting for matching the three numbers and patterns of the central numeral display portion 19 and the like. The hole 16 is provided with a hitting hole 17 or the like that allows a large opening that is normally closed to remain open when a so-called fever state is formed due to matching of these numbers and patterns. Reference numeral 18 denotes a release hole into which a ball that has not entered the hit hole enters.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a first ball pool, the upper surface of which is covered with a transparent synthetic resin so that the inner pachinko balls P cannot be taken out to the outside, and the dial of the ball striking part 21 is appropriately set. Balls can be continuously ejected by rotating a certain amount. At the beginning of use of this game device, a certain number of balls are given to the player, and these balls are first discharged into the first ball pool 20. Then, the balls are successively ejected by operating the ball ejection unit 21. The number of possessed balls display section 25 can display the number of possessed balls of the player by a 4-digit digital display. 28 shows a coin slot. It is possible to carry out the possession ball number display unit 25 without necessarily providing it, but the possession balls which the player has acquired cannot be picked up, and the total number of possession balls acquired can be visually grasped. Since it is also not possible, it is preferable to provide this ball number display unit 25.

Further, in the present invention, the second ball pool 30 is provided below the first ball pool 20. Like the first ball pool 20, the second ball pool 30 has an upper surface covered with a transparent synthetic resin so that the inner pachinko ball P cannot be taken away to the outside. Moreover, the existence of the pachinko ball P inside can be seen through. On the other hand, the circulation route of the balls discharged into the second ball pool 30 is completely independent of the circulation route of the balls circulating between the first ball pool 20 and the pachinko board 11 and is different from that of another pachinko ball. Has a distribution channel. In other words, in the second ball accumulating portion 30, when the player has a large number of balls, or when the player is in a so-called fever state, the pachinko balls are discharged, and the balls are reduced. Occasionally, the number of discharged balls is reduced and further eliminated, and a circulation route different from the circulation route of the balls in the first ball pool 20 is provided.

A ball storage 40 is provided as a dollar box just below the second ball storage portion 30, and ball storages 41, 42 are also provided as a dollar box in the lower part of the apparatus body 10. Pachinko balls P are apparently packed in the ball storages 40, 41, 42, and automatically when the number of balls held increases to a certain number or when it becomes a so-called fever state. It comes out from the device body 10. With such a configuration, the player can enjoy a pachinko game, and when the number of balls he or she owns increases to a certain number or when the player enters the fever state, the balls appear in the second ball accumulating section 30. At the same time, the top ball hangar 40 came out and a thing like a dollar box full of pachinko balls P appeared, and the player gained a lot of balls by such a directing effect. You can visually check that and enjoy a satisfactory feeling.

Next, the playing method will be described. First, by inserting a coin into the coin insertion slot 28, the device is activated. An activation button or the like may be provided at an appropriate position of the device, and the device may be operated by pushing this activation button after inserting a coin. When the operation of the device is started, the number of possessed balls of the player is displayed in the possessed ball number display portion 25. Then, at the same time that a certain number of coins appear in the first ball accumulating portion 20, the display of the coin number display unit 25 is reduced by the number of coins that have come out. The player turns the dial of the ball launching section 21 by a necessary amount to launch the pachinko ball P. The launched balls fall from the upper side to the lower side in the pachinko machine 11, and if they enter the hit hole 15, a certain number of balls can be acquired and the number of balls can be increased. If it falls to the bottom without hitting the hole, it will enter the hole 18 and the number of balls will decrease. The increase / decrease in the number of possessed balls is always displayed in the possessed number display unit 25.

When the pachinko ball enters the hit hole 16, the three numbers or symbols in the central number or the like display portion 19 rotate independently, and then automatically stop. When all three numbers or patterns appear the same, and when they stop, it becomes a so-called fever state, and the large opening of the hit hole 17 opens and the pachinko balls that fall from the top one after another. The contact hole 17 is entered. When this state is reached, the pachinko balls P are discharged into the second ball accumulating portion 30, and the ball storage case 40, which is the first dollar box, comes out of the apparatus main body 10. As the game progresses further, when the second fever state is reached, the second dolly box, the ball hangar 41, appears, and when the third fever state is reached, the third dolly box, the ball hangar 42 is opened. It is set so that it automatically comes out from the device body 10 in sequence.

The state of the fever is set so that it returns to a normal state after a certain period of time. The game is over when you have completed 3 Fever and all the dollar boxes have appeared. On the other hand, if you could not achieve these three times of fever and the number of balls gradually decreased as the game progressed, the ball storage that was the dollar box that emerged was sequentially retracted into the device main body 10. Moreover, the number of pachinko balls in the second ball accumulating portion 30 also decreases and disappears. And the game ends when the number of balls finally reaches zero. On the other hand, in the game, a fixed time limit can be set, and in this case, the player's skill can be competed by the number of balls possessed when the time limit expires. In this case, the game ends after the lapse of the time limit, the balls in the second ball pool 30 are automatically returned to the device as appropriate, and the ball storage boxes 40, 41 that are pulled out dollar boxes are also used. It is automatically stored in the main body 10.

A rotary plate 38 is fixed to the drive shaft 37 of the electric motor M1, and a projection 39 is planted on the peripheral edge of the rotary plate 38. Therefore, the protrusion 39 rotates about the drive shaft 37, and a reciprocating member 45 having a circular hole that engages with the protrusion 39 is provided so as to slide on the lower surface of the tray 31 in the left and right directions in the drawing. The reciprocating member 45 is always urged by the spring 46 in the leftward direction in the drawing. Therefore, the reciprocating member 45 reciprocates left and right in the figure in cooperation with the operation of the spring 46 by the rotation of the protrusion 39 in the circular hole provided on the right side thereof. By this movement, the ball return port 32 is opened and closed. On the other hand, to open and close the ball outlet 33, one end of the wire 44 is connected to an opening / closing plate 47 that opens and closes the ball outlet 33, and the other end is fixed to the protrusion 39 via a guide wheel 49. Further, a coil spring 48 for urging the opening / closing plate 47 upward is provided. As a result, when the protrusion 39 rotates, the end portion of the wire 44 on the opening / closing plate 47 side reciprocates up and down. In this example, the ball outlet 33 is configured to open when the opening / closing plate 47 moves upward.

In order to adjust the number of pachinko balls accumulated in the tray 31 in a stepwise manner, the opening / closing means for the ball return port 32 and the ball ejection port 33 may be provided separately. In other words, when increasing the number of balls in stages, the ball return port 32 should be kept closed and the ball outlet 33 should be opened appropriately as the number of balls increases. In order to reduce the number of balls, the ball delivery port 33 may be kept closed and the ball return port 32 may be opened appropriately as the number of balls is reduced. As described above, the opening / closing means of the ball outlet 33 and the ball return 32 can be provided separately or independently, or can be implemented by electromagnetic means using a solenoid or the like, and the design can be freely changed. You can
