In addition, three magnets 35, 36, and 37 are arranged in parallel at the rear edge of the assembly frame 28, and a magnet 38 that attracts the magnet 35 or 37 and repels the magnet 36 is fixed to the tip of the engagement shaft 34. is doing. Reference numeral 39 denotes a winning opening (starting opening) provided in the lower front portion of the falling edge 23.
[0011]
In this winning device, the game ball p that has entered the entrance 4 flows to either the branch channel 5 or the branch channel 6, and passes through the ball channels 7 and 9 or the ball channels 8 and 10. Collides with the right or left side. In the case of collision with the right side surface of the touch element 18, as shown in FIG. 8, the impact part moves the touch element 18 to the left and rotates the link 30 counterclockwise. The elevating member 26 is pushed up via 27, and the guide members 25, 25 are projected to the falling edge 23. Then, the game ball p that has collided with the contact 18 passes through the ball flow path 15 and the ball flow path 20, reaches the falling edge 23, falls from between the guide members 25, 25, and easily wins a prize opening 39.
[0012]
On the other hand, when the game ball p collides with the left side surface of the touch element 18, as shown in FIG. 3, the touch element 18 is moved to the right by the impact and the link 30 is rotated in the clockwise direction. 26 guide members 25, 25 are lowered. Then, the game ball p that has collided with the contact 18 passes through the ball passage 14 and the ball passage 19 and falls from the drop edge 23. In this case, there is no guidance by the guiding members 25, 25, so that it is difficult to win the winning opening 39.
[0013]
As described above, in this embodiment, the guide members 25 and 25 protrude or sink depending on whether the game ball p collides with the toucher 18 from the left side or the right side, and enter the winning port 39 of the game ball p. The difficulty of winning a prize will be determined. Note that, depending on the strength with which the game ball p collides, the state of the guide members 25 and 25 may not change without the contact 18 moving.
[0014]
Further, when the link 30 rotates as described above, the magnet 38 is attracted by the magnets 35 and 37 at both ends and repels the magnet 36 at the intermediate portion, so that the guide members 25 and 25 protrude from the falling edge 23. The stationary first state and the submerged second state are stopped.
[0015]
Next, another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 will be described. In the winning apparatus shown in this embodiment, a vertical spherical flow channel 41 is formed from a ball entry port 40 provided at one side edge of the symbol variation indicator 2, and a downwardly inclined sphere is formed at the lower end of the spherical flow channel. A flow path 42 is extended, a short convex ridge 43 is formed at the front side edge of the spherical flow path, and a spherical flow that is folded back at the front end portion 44 at the front side of the spherical flow path and communicates with the spherical flow path 42. A channel 45 is formed, and low-convex ridges 46 are formed on the front side edge of the spherical channel 45.
[0016]
Reference numeral 47 denotes a substantially cylindrical guide member provided in a portion of the spherical flow passage 45 where the convex ridges 46 are not formed. The guide member is rotatable about a support shaft 48 provided horizontally on the instrument frame. And a guide groove 50 is formed at two opposite locations on the outer periphery of the rear end of the guide member. 51 is formed. Then, the upper and lower magnets 53 and 55 are fixed to the four outer peripheral surfaces of the quadrangular column 52 formed at the base of the support shaft 48 so that the outer surfaces are S poles and the magnets 54 and 56 on both sides are N poles. To do. Further, magnets 57 and 58 are fixed to a portion corresponding to the inner circumference where the contacts 50 and 51 of the guide member 47 are located so that the north pole is on the inside, and the magnets 57 and 58 and the magnets 53 and 55 are opposed to each other. Let For this reason, when the guide member 47 rotates, the attractive force and the repulsive force of each magnet act, and the guide member 47 is stably stationary when the shallow groove 49 is located right above and right below. When the shallow groove 49 is located directly above, the contact 50 protrudes from the rectangular hole 59 formed in the spherical flow path 42, and when the shallow groove 49 is located directly below, the contact 51 protrudes from the rectangular hole 59. To do.
[0017]
For this reason, the game ball p entering the entrance 40 collides with the contact 50 or 51 through the ball passages 41 and 42 as shown in FIG. The shallow groove 49 may be positioned directly above as shown in FIG. 9 depending on the rotation. The game ball p turns back at the tip 44 and flows down the ball flow path 45. When the shallow groove 49 is located directly above, the game ball p rides on the shallow groove 49 and is discharged straight forward. While it is possible to easily win the winning opening 39, when the shallow groove 49 is located directly below, it is easy to be discharged from both sides of the guide member 47, so it is difficult to win the winning opening 39.
