DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a prize winning device used for a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine, an arrange ball machine, and a play ball game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional ball game machine such as a pachinko machine,
An electric tulip-type electric winning device for changing a special symbol is attached to a game area of a game board, and one or more special symbol displaying means is provided on condition that a game ball wins in the electric winning device. The symbol fluctuates for a predetermined time and stops, and after the fluctuation, the special symbol of the special symbol display means displays a specific symbol or a combination of the specific symbols, so as to generate a profit state advantageous to the player. I have.

In a conventional electric winning device, a pair of opening / closing members arranged on both right and left sides of a winning opening are rotated around a pivot in a front-rear direction between a closed position standing upright and an open position lying down to the side. The opening and closing movement is pivotally supported, and the distance between the opening and closing bodies in the closed position is set to such an extent that one game ball can win a prize. When the later ordinary symbol displays a specific winning symbol, each opening / closing body is opened to the side for a predetermined time so that the game ball can easily win.

[0004]

In a conventional electric prize winning device, if a game ball wins a winning opening regardless of the opening and closing of the opening / closing body, the winning means is detected by the detecting means and the special symbol display means is displayed. Because we are trying to change the special symbol of
On the side of the hall, there is a drawback that it is difficult to adjust the nails of the game board and other management.

[0005] That is, the game board usually has two life nails (game nails) on the upper side corresponding to each open / close body in the closed position.
On the hall side, the intervals, angles, and the like of the life nails are appropriately adjusted to adjust the difficulty of winning the game balls in the closed state for each machine.

However, conventionally, regardless of the opening / closing of the opening / closing body, one detecting means detects a winning ball which has won a winning opening and fluctuates the special symbol of the special symbol displaying means. Just counting the number of winning balls, that is, the number of detecting the winning balls by the detecting means, cannot determine whether the winning balls are in the open state or in the closed state. Therefore, in the case of a machine in which the number of times the special symbol changes is extremely large, there is a disadvantage that it is not easy to determine whether or not the adjustment of the life nail on the upper side of the electric winning device is loose.

[0007] In particular, the electric winning device is designed to be opened by displaying a symbol when the ordinary symbol is changed after the ordinary symbol means is changed, and there is a life nail above the ordinary symbol changing means. If the adjustment of the nail is loose, the number of times the normal symbol changes increases, and accordingly, the possibility that the ordinary symbol hits and becomes a symbol increases. Therefore, in this case,
Not only the problem of adjusting the life nail on the top of the electric winning device,
This is usually a problem of adjusting the life nail and / or the guide nail near the opening / closing type prize means on the fluctuation means side for the symbol, and it is very difficult to manage the nail adjustment in the hall.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention relates to a prize winning device capable of winning even when the openable prize means is closed, and a game ball in an open state of the openable prize means and a game in a closed state. It is an object of the present invention to provide a prize winning device that can individually detect a prize of a ball, can easily manage nail adjustment and the like on the hole side, and can reduce the size of the whole.

When the game ball is fired to the upper side of the game board 6 by operating the game ball 10, the game ball falls along the game board 6. And
When a game ball enters the ordinary symbol fluctuation means 18, the ordinary symbol of the ordinary symbol fluctuation control means 29 fluctuates for a predetermined time by random number control and stops.

When a game ball falling along the game board 6 wins the first winning port 28, the winning ball is guided to the back side of the game board 6 via the first winning ball passage 30, and the first drop passage 50 And the first detecting means 29 detects a winning ball falling in the first drop passage 50. Then, when the first detecting means 29 detects a winning ball, the special symbol of the special symbol displaying means 13 fluctuates for a predetermined time by random number control based on the detection and stops.

If the stop symbol after the change of the ordinary symbol display means 14 is a hit symbol, the solenoid 63 of the electric drive means 33 is used.
Is excited, and the pair of opening / closing members 37 of the opening / closing means 32 is rotated outward around the pivot 38 via the interlocking mechanism 62 to open the second winning opening 31 for a predetermined time. For this reason, it becomes easy for the game ball to win the second winning opening 31.

That is, each opening / closing body 37 normally closes the second winning opening 31, but when the solenoid 63 is excited, the movable iron core 64 is closed.
Rises against the spring 64a, and the interlocking arm 66 swings counterclockwise around the support shaft to push down the engagement projection 67 of the opening / closing body 37, so that the opening / closing body 37 is moved outward around the pivot 38. And the second winning opening 31 is opened. Therefore, if there is a game ball falling above each opening / closing body 37, the game ball is guided to the second winning opening 31 through the opening / closing body 37, so that the game ball can easily win in the second winning opening 31. .

If there is a game ball falling on the opening / closing member 37, the game ball moves from the left / right direction to the second winning opening 31 side through the opening / closing member 37, and is guided backward by the guide portion 41. It moves to the second winning ball passage 35 side.

It surely moves to the wide portion 51 side of the second winning ball passage 35.

Then, the winning balls in the wide portion 51 move toward the narrow portion 52 while being rectified one by one in the rectifying portion 53. Therefore, even if a plurality of winning balls are arranged in the left-right direction on the wide portion 51 side, the winning balls move to the narrow portion 52 side while being arranged in a column while passing through the rectifying portion 53. Then, it falls downward from the narrow portion 52 through the second drop passage 54. Therefore, the second detecting means 34 can surely detect the winning balls one by one.

When a predetermined time has elapsed after the opening and closing of the opening and closing member 37, the solenoid 63 is demagnetized and the movable core 64 is lowered by the spring 64a, and the interlocking arm 66 swings around the support shaft. Rotates inward about the pivot 38 to close the second winning opening 31.

If the stop symbol after the change of the special symbol display means 13 is a big hit symbol, the opening / closing plate 22 of the variable winning device 17 opens to the front side, and a profit state advantageous to the player is generated. For this reason, many of the game balls falling from the upper side of the game board 6 easily enter the variable winning device 17 via the opening / closing plate 22, and once a big hit occurs on the special symbol display means 13 side, the player is Great profits will be returned.

The variable winning device 17 closes the opening / closing plate 22 when ten game balls win or when a predetermined time has elapsed,
Also, if the winning prize ball which has been won while the opening / closing plate 22 is open passes through the specific area, the opening / closing plate 22 is opened again and the opening / closing operation is repeated up to 16 times.
