[First Embodiment]
The gaming machine of the present embodiment is an application of the present invention to an encapsulated ball gaming machine as a pachinko gaming machine. For example, the gaming content can be the same as that of a conventional pachinko gaming machine. In addition, the size of the outer shape and the like is the same, and it can be installed in the current island facility of the pachinko parlor, but it does not use the ball supply mechanism or ball discharge mechanism of the island facility Yes. That is, the number of game balls based on data (number of rented balls) or the like input from a storage medium such as a card via a ball rental machine, etc. The game ball can be launched into the game area in correspondence with the data on the number of possessed balls, and when the game ball is launched, the data on the number of possessed balls is subtracted in accordance with the number of game balls launched. . In addition, when a game ball that has been launched wins a prize device such as various prize opening or a variable prize device and a prize ball (game ball) is generated, the actual number of balls held without paying out the actual game ball The number of prize balls is added to the data. Further, when the data on the number of possessed balls becomes 0, the game ball cannot be launched. In this state, when a numerical value (that is, the number of rented balls or the number of replayed balls) is added to the data of the number of balls based on the data of the amount stored in the storage medium such as a card or the data of the stored balls, again Game balls can be launched.
In addition, the launched game balls are collected in the enclosed ball type gaming machine so that they can be launched again, and the game balls are circulated in the enclosed ball game machine.
That is, the encapsulated ball game machine of this embodiment is an encapsulated ball game machine that collects the game balls that have been launched into the game area and uses them again.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment includes a machine frame 110 configured in a rectangular frame shape, and on one side of the machine frame 110, the machine frame 110 is provided. On the other hand, a front frame 120 having a rectangular frame shape is pivotally supported. The front frame 120 is rotatable to the front side of the front frame main body (main body frame) 130 serving as a base for mounting various members and the like provided in the front frame 120 and the front frame main body 130. And a firing operation unit 150 attached to the lower side of the glass frame 140 on the front surface of the front frame body 130.

  The front frame main body 130 is configured in a substantially rectangular plate shape so as to fit within the machine frame 110 having a rectangular frame shape, and accommodates the game board 1 described later in a portion extending from the center to the upper end portion. A square-shaped opening 121 having a game board storage portion 122 is formed. The front surface of the game board 1 accommodated in the front frame body 130 faces the front side from the opening 121 of the front frame body 130. In addition, the glass frame 140 covers the opening 121 having the game board storage part 122 in which the game board 1 of the front frame body 130 is fitted, that is, a portion extending from a slightly lower side to the upper end part from the center of the front frame body 130. The portion surrounded by the guide rail 2 provided on the front surface of the game board 1 between the front surface of the game board 1 and the glass plates 141 and 141 fitted in the glass frame 140 is a game ball. Is a game area 1a that is launched and flows down.

Also, one side (left side) of the glass frame 140 is pivotally supported by one side of the front frame main body 130 so as to be able to open and close like a door, and the glass frame 140 is opened. The front side of the game area 1a on the front side of the game board 1 can be opened.
The glass frame 140 is provided with a space to be a game area 1a in which a game ball can flow down between the glass frame 140 and the game board 1 fitted in the opening 121 so as to substantially close the opening 121 of the front frame body 130. Double glass plates 141 and 141 are fixed. In the glass frame 140, at least a portion of the game area 1 a on the front side of the game board 1 can be visually recognized from the front side of the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 through the glass plates 141 and 141.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, external appeal decoration lamps 11,..., Side lamps 12 and 12, speakers 13 and 13, etc. are provided on the front side of the glass frame 140 at positions that do not hinder the viewing of the game area 1 a. It has been. The external appeal decoration lamps 11,... Are used to notify the surroundings when the number of acquired game balls mainly becomes large in the upper part of the glass frame 140. For example, the number of difference balls (the number of difference balls) that is the difference between the number of balls entered (the number of balls the player has struck into the gaming machine) and the number of balls played (the number of prize balls that the game ball has entered through the winning slot etc.) The number obtained by adding the number of balls lent to the player by the game store is the number of balls possessed by the player, and the number of balls possessed here is a game ball that enables the above-mentioned game balls to be launched. Based on the numerical data), the external appeal decoration lamps 11,... Are turned on when the number of difference balls increases. As described above, the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 does not pay out the prize balls as described above, and the number of exit balls, the number of balls entered, the number of difference balls, the number of balls held (the number of game balls), etc. This is not the actual number of game balls, but a numerical value on the data. In other words, there are only a limited number (for example, 25) of game balls that are actually used in circulation, and the number of possessed balls is, for example, detected by counting the game balls that are launched into the game area. Number of fired balls, number of foul balls counted by detecting game balls that have been launched but returned, number of recovered balls counted by detecting game balls that have been launched and collected in the game area, prizes for winning From the numerical values such as the number of balls, the number of balls rented from a game store, etc., the above-mentioned number of incoming balls, the number of outgoing balls, the number of difference balls, the number of balls possessed.

  As long as there is no trouble such as opening the glass frame 140 and the game balls coming out, the number of fired balls = the number of foul balls + the number of collected balls (when the number of foul balls is not included). Then, the number of entered balls = the number of collected balls = the number of launched balls−the number of foul balls, the number of issued balls = the number of awarded balls (integrated value) = the number of entered balls−the number of rented balls (the number of replayed balls) + the number of held balls, Number of balls = Number of balls rented (or number of replayed balls) + Number of balls played-Number of balls entered, Number of balls played-Number of balls entered = Number of balls differenced, Number of balls held = Number of balls lent (or number of replayed balls) + It becomes the difference ball number. As described above, the game with the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 is completely performed as a numerical value on the data, and an error due to spilling the game ball or leaving the game ball on the lower plate or the upper plate occurs. It is possible to reliably manage in integer units. However, it is difficult to obtain satisfaction and superiority that can be obtained by a player by obtaining a large number of game balls and storing them in a game ball box by increasing the number of balls held. Therefore, the external appeal decoration lamps 11,... Are used so that the player can obtain satisfaction and superiority.

  More specifically, the operation of the external appeal decoration lamps 11,..., For example, when the number of balls held or the number of difference balls reaches 1000 or more, one of the external appeal decoration lamps 11,. For example, when the number of balls held or the number of difference balls reaches 2000 or more, two of the external appeal decoration lamps 11... Are turned on and the emission color is changed. Each time the number of balls increases by a predetermined number, the number of lighting of the external appeal decoration lamps 11,... Is increased and the light emission color is changed to notify the player in the game store of the number of balls with a large difference in number. It is now appealing that players who play in the game have acquired a large number of game balls.

In addition, a firing operation unit 150 is attached to the lower side of the glass frame 140 on the front side of the front frame body 130. The firing operation unit 150 holds a touch panel display unit 151, a handle touch detection unit 152, a firing slide volume 153, a show ball decoration unit 154, a speaker 155, and these members and a pocket for operating the launching device 61 described later. A firing operation space forming frame 159 that forms the upper recess 158 (space) is provided.
The touch panel display unit 151 includes a liquid crystal display as a display device. As basic functions, the touch panel display unit 151 has information on the number of balls, amount information (remaining amount stored in a storage medium such as a card), and storage information (prize). The game information such as the number of game balls stored in the game store without exchanging them, etc.) is displayed so that the player can check the number of balls at any time without paying out the actual game balls. Various information including the occurrence of an error can be displayed to a store clerk or the like. The touch panel display unit 151 is a touch panel that enables display switching and other input operations corresponding to display contents. The touch panel display unit 151 can be rotated around a rotation axis set in the left-right direction of the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 to adjust the tilt, and the player can adjust the inclination according to the physique of the player. It can be changed to an easy-to-see angle.

In addition, in the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 of the present invention, the handle touch detection units 152 and 152 are replaced with a rotary operation type operating handle for operating the launching of the gaming ball provided in the conventional pachinko gaming machine. And a firing slide volume 153.
The handle touch detection units 152 and 152 have touch sensors provided on a conventional operation handle, and when a player's hand is brought into contact with each other, a signal is output to the launch control device. Under this control, a launching device is operated to launch a game ball.

  In addition, the handle touch detection units 152 and 152 form pocket-shaped recesses 158 in the bulged portions on the left and right sides of the firing operation space forming frame 159 in a state of bulging forward on the lower side of the glass frame 140. Of the inner surface of the recess 158, handle touch detection units 152, 152 are formed by forming a touch sensor mainly on the front side of the gaming machine and facing backward. In addition, the bottom portion of the pocket-shaped recess 158 extends outward from the recess so that the player's hand can be placed, and the hand can be easily touched with the hand touching the touch sensor. It is like the bottom of the recess. That is, the bottom surface of the recess functions as an armrest 158a (handrest). Further, since the handle touch detection units 152 and 152 are provided on the left and right of the launch operation unit 150 at the lower part of the enclosing ball game machine 100, the game ball can be fired with either the right hand or the left hand. .

  Conventionally, the adjustment of the firing force has been performed by rotating the operation handle, but in the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 of this example, the firing slide volume 153 provided with the operation lever 156 that can be slid up and down. The firing force can be adjusted by moving the operation lever 156 of the firing slide volume 153 that can be moved up and down to increase the firing force, and vice versa. ing. The operation lever 156 can be stopped at an arbitrary position, and even if the hand is released, it does not return to the position where the firing force is minimized by a spring or the like. Then, the player can release the game ball by simply releasing the operation lever 156 and touching the handle touch detection units 152 and 152.

The show ball decoration unit 154 virtually represents a flow or the like due to a decrease or increase in game balls accumulated on an upper plate in a pachinko gaming machine that pays out game balls.
That is, when the game balls are sequentially fired or when the game balls are won, only the increase or decrease of the number of balls displayed on the touch panel display unit 151 is reduced by the launch of the game balls accumulated on the upper plate of the pachinko gaming machine. In addition, since it is difficult to actually realize the increase due to the payout of the prize balls, the movement of the game balls is virtually reproduced by the display ball decoration unit 154 so that the player can easily feel the increase or decrease of the game balls. To do.

  Note that the show ball decoration unit 154 represents, for example, the increase or decrease of the game balls by movement of the game balls, and may be displayed by circulating and moving the actual game balls, or the game balls may be displayed as images as a display. The movement of the game ball may be displayed, or the movement of the game ball may be expressed by a blinking lamp or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the speaker 155 has a portion that becomes the enclosure 157 extending from the rear to the left (from the front to the right), and the enclosure 157 has the right handle touch detection unit. 152 overlaps with the front and rear. As a result, the vibration generated by the speaker 155 is transmitted to the player's hand touching the right handle touch detection unit 152 so that the player can experience the vibration based on the sound with his / her hand. It has become.
