When game balls are awarded to these winning devices, the number of winning balls corresponding to the type of winning device is discharged from a payout unit (discharge device) (not shown), and a supply tray (not shown) Is supplied to the dish).
[0053]
FIG. 6 is a block configuration diagram showing a control system centered on the game control device 100.
[0054]
The game control device 100 is a main control device that comprehensively controls games, and includes a game microcomputer 101 incorporating a CPU, ROM, and RAM, an input interface 102, an output interface 103, an oscillator 104, and the like.
[0055]
The gaming microcomputer 101 includes a program stored in a ROM and various detection devices (general power operation sensors 50A and 50B, a winning opening sensor, a start sensor 53, a special winning area detecting sensor 54, a general winning area detecting sensor 55, a specific winning sensor. 32, a control signal is transmitted to various control devices (display control device 200, discharge control device 300, etc.) based on the detection signal from count sensor 57, etc. The motor 52 of the minute device 15, the motor 31 of the start winning device 10, the special winning opening solenoid 56 of the special variable winning device 11, and the like are controlled.
[0056]
The display control device 200 creates screen information based on the display command signal from the game control device 100 and displays an image on the variable display device 16. In addition, when using LED for the fluctuation | variation display apparatus 16, you may make it the game control apparatus 100 control the fluctuation | variation display apparatus 16 directly.
[0057]
The discharge control device 300 controls the operation of the payout unit on the basis of a prize ball command signal from the game control device 100 or a ball rental request from a card ball rental unit (not shown) to cause the prize ball or the ball to be discharged. .
[0058]
When a game is performed, the game ball jumps in from the winning device 4 to the ordinary variable winning port 14 of the right generating bonus device 5 or by winning into the ordinary power operating ports 12A, 12B. 17B expands, and the game ball wins the normal variation winning port 14 of the right generating equipment 5 and enters the distribution device 15, rides on a specific ball receiving portion of the rotary table 18 and displays the variation display device. When the 16 variable display games are started and the variable display game is won and the winning ball enters the special winning area in the right generation winning device 6, the game control device 100 generates a special right state (right generation) When it is in the state, it disappears), and it becomes a state waiting for the execution of the special game.
[0059]
In this special game, every time a game ball wins a specific winning opening 21 of the start winning device 10, the special variable winning device 11 is opened, and a predetermined number (for example, ten) of game balls wins the special variable winning device 11. Alternatively, when a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses, the special variable prize-winning device 11 is closed, and this is repeated until a predetermined number (for example, 16) of game balls have been won in the specific prize opening 21. In this case, the rotation speed (cycle) of the rotating body 23 of the start winning device 10 is set so that the next game ball wins the specific winning opening 21 after the open special variation winning device 11 is closed. .
[0060]
As described above, when the right is generated, the special variable winning device 11 is opened every time the game ball wins the specific winning slot 21, and the winning interval of the game balls to the specific winning slot 21 is set. The start winning device 10 includes a rotating body 23 that guides the game ball received in the ball receiving unit 27 to the specific winning port 21 by a rotating operation, and the ball receiving unit 27 is sized to receive one game ball. And since it formed in the position which the rotation center of the rotary body 23 penetrates, the rotary body 23 can be made small. Further, the rotating body 23 is formed by a base board 25 and a ball receiving wall 28 provided with a notch portion 26 standing on the base board 25, and at the outer periphery of the ball receiving wall 28, the start winning device entrance 33 is formed. Since the game ball can be held, the rotating body 23 can be made small.
[0061]
Therefore, the start winning device 10 can be reduced in size, the surrounding game area is not narrowed, and the arrangement on the game board 1 can be easily performed.
[0062]
Further, since the ball receiving portion 27 is formed at a position through which the rotation center of the rotating body 23 penetrates, the movement of the game ball of the ball receiving portion 27 is small, and in particular, the center of the game ball in the ball receiving portion 27 and the rotation of the rotating body 23. When formed so as to coincide with the center, the game ball of the ball receiving portion 27 only rotates with respect to the rotating motion of the rotating body 23. Therefore, the game ball is not changed in position, and when the cutout portion 26 comes to the position of the specific prize opening 21, it becomes an unexpected winning action such as falling to the specific prize opening 21, thereby enhancing the interest of the start winning apparatus 10. be able to.
[0063]
In addition, the rotating body 23 is arranged so that the center of rotation faces the front of the game area 3, and an opening window is formed by the specific winning opening component member 22, the guide frame 34, and the cover 36. Thus, since the game ball of the ball receiving unit 27 of the rotating body 23 is made visible, the player can easily confirm whether or not there is a game ball in the ball receiving unit 27.
[0064]
Moreover, since the guide frame 34 surrounding the rotating body 23 is provided, the rotating body 23 can be protected, and the game ball is held at the start winning device entrance 33 by the outer peripheral portion of the ball receiving wall 28 and the guide frame 34. Since the ball holding unit is configured, the next winning ball to the specific winning opening 21 can be accurately held.
[0065]
Further, the position of the game ball is not substantially changed with respect to the rotation operation of the rotating body 23 and the guide frame 34 is provided with the collar portion 35 that covers the standing tip portion of the ball receiving wall 28. It is difficult to visually recognize the rotation position of the player, and it is difficult for the player to grasp when the game ball that has entered the ball receiving unit 27 wins the specific winning opening 21. Therefore, depending on the player, during the special game (during the generation of rights), after the special variable winning device 11 is closed, until the game ball wins the specific winning port 21 and the special variable winning device 11 is opened again. There is a person who makes a so-called stop-stop that stops the launch of the game ball. However, such a stop-stop can be prevented, and an increase in sales of the game store can be expected.
[0066]
In addition, since a recess is formed in the inner wall of the guide frame 34 that surrounds the rotating body 23 and faces the game ball of the ball receiving unit 27, ball debris such as when receiving the game ball from the start winning device entrance 33 to the ball receiving unit 27 is removed. Can be prevented.
[0067]
In addition, since the cutout portion 26 of the arc-shaped ball receiving wall 28 is formed large from the base board 25 toward the standing tip portion of the ball receiving wall 28, the game ball is led out from the ball receiving portion 27 to the specific winning opening 21. When playing, the game ball moves smoothly and can prevent stagnation.
[0068]
In addition, since the guide frame 34 is provided with a cover that restricts the movement of the ball holding portion (start winning device entrance 33) to the front end portion of the ball receiving wall of the game ball, the game ball held in the ball holding portion Does not hit the front glass of the game area 3.
[0069]
Further, since the electric light emitter (for example, LED) 37 is disposed behind the guide frame 34, the electric light emitter 37 is not subjected to an impact caused by a collision of the game ball. In addition, the electrical light emitter 37 and the decorative substrate 38 can be protected by a support portion 45 that also serves as a cover that is formed on the protection plate 40 and the mounting substrate 20 to prevent the motor 31 from being displaced.
[0070]
On the other hand, the rotating body 23 (the motor 31) is configured so that the game control device 100 rotates at a constant speed and the game ball winning timing to the specific winning port 21 is controlled to be constant. 100 may change and control the winning interval of the game balls to the specific winning opening by changing the rotational speed of the rotating body 23 (motor 31). The game control device 100 constitutes a winning interval change control means.
[0071]
In this case, the rotational speed of the rotating body 23 (motor 31) is increased, decelerated, or temporarily stopped to make the rotation period of the rotating body 23 (motor 31) irregular. .
[0072]
That is, even if the flange portion 35 is provided on the guide frame 34 to hide the standing tip portion of the ball receiving wall 28 of the rotating body 23, if the rotating body 23 (motor 31) is rotated at a constant period, It is possible to perform a so-called stop-attack at a timing according to the cycle, but if the rotational cycle is irregular by changing the rotational speed of the rotating body 23 (motor 31) in this way, a specific winning opening of the game ball The timing of winning a prize at 21 is not known, and it is possible to reliably prevent stoppage.
[0073]
The rotational speed of the rotating body 23 (motor 31) may be changed according to the progress of the special game and the open / close state of the special variable winning device 11.
[0074]
FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In this configuration, the start winning device 10 is provided with a flow direction changing member 70 that can change the flow direction of the game ball flowing down around the start winning device 10.
[0075]
The flow direction changing member 70 is disposed at a predetermined portion on the left and right of the mounting board 20 of the start winning device 10, and each pair of leg portions 71 is inserted into a pair of arcuate guide grooves 72 formed on the mounting board 20. The base ends of the pair of leg portions 71 are connected to a direction changing motor (not shown) via a link on the back side of the mounting substrate 20.
[0076]
As shown in FIG. 7, when the direction changing motor 70 is driven in one direction, the flow direction changing member 70 at the initial position (normal position) has a C shape with the lower portion facing outward as shown in FIG. When converted and the direction changing motor is driven in the opposite direction, it is converted into an inverted C shape with the upper part facing outward as shown in FIG.
[0077]
In the state where the flow direction changing member 70 is converted into a square shape as shown in FIG. 8, it is difficult for the game balls flowing down the periphery of the start winning device 10 to win the special variable winning device 11 positioned below, As shown in FIG. 9, in the state converted into the inverted C shape, the game balls flowing down the periphery of the start winning device 10 can easily win the special variable winning device 11 located below.
[0078]
On the other hand, the direction changing motor of the flow direction changing member 70 is driven and controlled by the game control device 100 (conversion control means) according to the desired conditions of the special right state generation process.
[0079]
In other words, the game control device 100 receives the game ball in the normal variation winning port 14 of the right generation accessory device 5 and gets on the specific ball receiving portion of the rotary table 18 of the distribution device 15. Based on this detection, a predetermined random number is extracted to start the variable display game of the variable display device 16, and when the random number is win, the variable display game is won. The ball is guided to a special winning area in the right generating winning device 6 to generate a special right state (disappears when the right is generated). In this case, the variable display game is hit with specific identification information. In the case of the combination, the probability variation state that increases the probability of occurrence of the next special right state is generated after the end of the special game. In the right generation state with the probability variation state based on the game (during special game), the flow direction changing member 70 is converted into a reverse C shape as shown in FIG. During the special game, the flow direction changing member 70 is controlled to be converted into a square shape as shown in FIG.
[0080]
In this way, it is possible to cause a change in the amount of game balls to be acquired according to the type of right generation state, to diversify the game contents, and to improve the interest. In addition, since the right generation state with a small amount of game balls acquired is generated, the generation probability of the right generation state can be set relatively high, and the player's expectation can be enhanced.
[0081]
Moreover, since the rotary body 23 is small, the flow direction changing member 70 can be disposed without any problem.
