[Description of the configuration of the bonus gift dispensing device]
The bonus prize payout device 300 is means for storing bonus prizes, which are special play media for bonuses, and paying out bonus prizes stored when specific conditions are met.

  2A is a perspective view and FIG. 2B is a side view illustrating an example of the configuration of the bonus prize payout device 300 in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6A, the bonus prize payout device 300 in this embodiment supports a box-type container 302 for storing bonus prizes Q, a box-type container 302 slidably supported, and a fixed table 1010. And a guide portion 320 that guides the gift payout exit 1008 from above.

  The guide part 320 is a pair of substantially L-shaped parts including a guide rail 322 and an attachment stay 324 that fixes the guide rail 322 to the casing of the game apparatus 1000. In the present embodiment, the guide portion 320 is disposed such that the guide rails 322 are parallel to each other above the fixed table 1010 and are substantially horizontal along the reciprocating slide direction of the slide table 1012.

  The attachment stay 324 is fixed to the side wall surface of the prize payout outlet 1008 with screws 326a and 326b, for example. The screw hole for the screw 326a is a normal round hole, but the screw hole for the screw 326b is an elongated hole 328 having an arc, and the mounting stay 324 is rotated in the direction of the elongated hole 328 around the screw 326a. Can be attached. Thereby, the installation angle of the guide rail 322 can be changed.

  In the following, the direction of the prize payout outlet 1008 with respect to the guide rail 322 is “front”, the direction away from the prize payout outlet 1008 (center direction of the apparatus) is “rear”, and the direction substantially perpendicular to the front and rear direction. Are called “right” and “left”. In this embodiment, the guide rail 322 has a rod shape, but it is needless to say that it may have a plate shape.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the box-type container 302 in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4A, the box-type container 302 is composed of a cylindrical portion 304 having an upper portion and a lower portion corresponding to the body, and a door portion 306 provided at the bottom portion of the cylindrical portion 304. A space for storing is formed. In addition, guide rollers 321 are rotatably provided on the left and right outer surfaces of the cylindrical portion 304, and the box-shaped container 302 is moved along the guide rails 322 by rolling on the guide rails 322 by the guide rollers 321. Can slide back and forth.

  The box-shaped container 302 may have a configuration in which the inside can be seen through, or may be configured invisible. For example, in the case of the former, it becomes clear what bonus prize Q is contained therein, which has an effect of encouraging the user.

  The door portion 306 is a door that opens on the entire bottom surface of the box-type container 302, and the right door 306R and the left door 306L are respectively left and right open to the left and right sides of the cylindrical portion 304 so as to be rotatable by hinges 308. The door structure. In this embodiment, the left and right doors have substantially the same length, and the bottom of the box-type container 302 is configured to open to the left and right from substantially the center downward.

  A combined structure as shown in the enlarged view in the figure is formed at the position where the right door 306R and the left door 306L are aligned, and the end on the fan side of the right door 306R is the end on the fan side of the left door 306L. It is configured to support in the part. As a result, the right door 306R cannot be opened unless the left door 306L is opened.

  A support caster 310 is provided on the lower surface of the left door 306L so as to extend downward. The support caster 310 abuts on the upper surface of the fixed table 1010 and rolls freely in the front-rear direction. Therefore, when the box-type container 302 is positioned above the fixed table 1010, more specifically, as long as the support caster 310 is in contact with the upper surface of the fixed table 1010, bonus prizes stored in the box-type container 302 are stored. The support caster 310 supports the door portion 306 from being pushed open by the weight of Q and the door portion 306, and prevents the door portion 306 from opening.

  FIG. 4 is a side view for explaining the configuration of the box-type container 302 in the present embodiment and an enlarged view of the support caster 310. As shown in FIG. 5A, the support caster 310 includes a guide plate 312 that is inclined downward from the rear to the front. The end of the guide plate 312 on the side of the support caster 310 has a bifurcated substantially U-shape, the U-shaped tip extends to the vicinity of the axle of the wheel of the support caster 310, and the U-shaped bottom immediately after the wheel. Configured to be located.

  The support caster 310 is fixed so that the upper end of the guide plate 312 is aligned with the lower end of the rear side outer surface of the cylindrical portion 304, as shown in FIG. Note that the number of support casters 310 is not limited to one, but may be plural. For example, each of the right door 306R and the left door 306L may be provided.

  The guide plate 312 abuts on the prize P ′ pushed toward the prize payout exit 1008 by the reciprocating sliding movement of the slide table 1012. That is, the box-type container 302 is pushed indirectly toward the prize payout exit 1008 via the prize P ′ and the guide plate 312. As a result, the box container 302 slides along the guide rail 322 toward the prize payout exit 1008.

  The width of the guide plate 312 in the left-right direction is a necessary condition that the support caster 310 has a sufficient width to prevent the prize P ′ pushed by the slide table 1012 from being caught, and the width is appropriately set. Can be set. For example, if the width is increased, the more prizes P ′ abut against each other, the box-type container 302 becomes easier to move, and the probability that the bonus prize Q is paid out becomes higher.

  The guide plate 312 may have a shape bent or bent in the left-right direction. For example, the guide plate 312 is separated from the support caster 310, and the guide plate 312 having a plurality of shapes prepared in advance by the installer of the game apparatus 1000 is attached to any one of the support caster 310, the door unit 306, and the tube unit 304. It may be configured to be detachable. When the guide plate 312 is bent or bent so as to protrude rearward of the box-shaped container 302 when viewed from above, the prize P ′ has an effect of escaping the force pushing the guide plate 312, and the box-shaped container 302 becomes difficult to move. On the contrary, if it is convex forward, it is difficult for the prize P ′ to escape from the guide plate 312 to the left and right, and the box-shaped container 302 is more easily moved. Therefore, the so-called “payout rate” of the bonus prize Q can be adjusted by the shape of the guide plate 312 being bent or curved.

[Description of operation]
FIG. 5 is a side view continuously showing the operation up to the operation of the bonus prize payout device 300 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 5A, the box-type container 302 is still located above the fixed table 1010. Since the support caster 310 is in contact with the upper surface of the fixed table 1010, even if the door 306 is opened by the load W due to the bonus prize Q, it is supported by the support caster 310 and remains closed. Eventually, the prize P ′ pushed by the reciprocating sliding motion of the slide table 1012 comes into contact with the guide plate 312 and the box-shaped container 302 moves in the direction of the prize payout outlet 1008 (forward direction).

  FIG. 4B shows a state in which the box-shaped container 302 reaches the premium payout outlet 1008 and the support caster 310 is removed from the end of the fixed table 1010. When the support caster 310 is removed from the end of the fixed table 1010, the left door 306L starts to open due to the load W due to the bonus prize Q. At this time, the guide plate 312 comes into contact with the corner of the fixed table 1010 and acts so that the corner does not get caught on the rear end of the left door 306L. Since the upper end of the guide plate 312 is fixed so as to be close to the lower end of the rear side face of the cylindrical portion 304, the corner of the fixed table 1010 is released without being caught by the box-shaped container 302. That is, the guide plate 312 plays a role as a guide for opening the door 306 smoothly.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 5C, the left door 306L is guided by the guide plate 312 and smoothly opens downward, and when the left door 306L is opened, the right door 306R is also opened. The box-type container 302 is supported by the guide rails 322, and the stored bonus prize Q is reliably discharged without being left by opening the door 306 over the entire bottom. As a result, the bonus prize Q stored in the box-type container 302 is paid out to the prize payout exit 1008.

  The box-shaped container 302 does not need to have a strict rectangular parallelepiped shape. For example, the alignment position of the side walls may be round, or may have a shape having a vertical cross section that extends downward. Or the tubular body which has a cross section of a circle or other shapes may be sufficient. However, it is preferable to avoid, for example, a shape having a longitudinal section that squeezes downward when it generates resistance when the bonus prize Q is paid out.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, as a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied, an example of a door portion 306 having a configuration different from that of the first embodiment will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol shall be attached | subjected about the component similar to 1st Embodiment, and description shall be abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  FIG. 6A is an oblique perspective view and FIG. 6B is a lower cross-sectional view illustrating an example of the configuration of the box-type container 302-2 in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5A, a box-shaped container 302-2 in this embodiment includes a cylindrical portion 305 that is open on the top and bottom and the prize payout outlet 1008 side (front side), and a front side of the box-shaped container 302-2. A space for storing bonus prizes Q is formed by the first door 306a that forms an elevation surface and the second door 306b that forms the bottom surface.

  The first door 306a is a single door or a plurality of doors. The first door 306a is pivotally supported by the shaft 303a so as to be pivotable in the vertical direction at the front upper end portion of the cylindrical portion 305, and further biased so as to pivot upward by a spring 309.

  The second door 306b is a single door that forms the entire bottom surface of the box-type container 302-2. The second door 306b is pivotally supported by the shaft 303b at the lower rear end of the cylindrical portion 305 so that the second door 306b can be pivoted up and down. Further, as shown in the figure, a stopper portion 307 bent in an L shape upward, for example, is formed at the front end portion of the second door 306b, and is hooked with the lower end of the first door 306a. Thus, the first door 306a is prevented from jumping upward.

  FIG. 7 is a side view continuously showing the operation up to the operation of the bonus prize payout device 300 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 5A, the box-type container 302-2 is still positioned above the fixed table 1010. The support caster 310 is in contact with the upper surface of the fixed table 1010 so that the second door 306b is supported by the support caster 310 and remains closed even if the second door 306b is opened by the load W due to the bonus prize Q. Further, the first door 306a whose lower end is locked by the stopper portion 307 is similarly closed. Eventually, when the prize P ′ pushed by the reciprocating sliding movement of the slide table 1012 comes into contact with the guide plate 312, the box-type container 302-2 moves in the direction of the prize payout outlet 1008 (forward direction).

  FIG. 5B shows a state where the box-type container 302-2 reaches the premium payout outlet 1008 and the support caster 310 is detached from the end of the fixed table 1010. When the support caster 310 is removed from the end of the fixed table 1010, the second door 306b starts to open due to the load W due to the bonus prize Q. When the second door 306b begins to open, the stopper 307 unlocks, and the first door 306a opens by springing up with the urging force of the spring 309. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5C, both the first door 306a and the second door 306b are opened, and the stored bonus prize Q is paid out at once.

  The box-shaped container 302-2 is made of an opaque material whose inside cannot be seen, and the bonus image 4 (see FIG. 5) is displayed on the inner surface of the first door 306a and the inner surface on the rear side of the box-shaped container 302-2. It may be provided. In this case, the bonus image 4 appears when the first door 306a jumps up as the bonus prize Q is discharged, thereby further enhancing the user's sense of achievement. Of course, the content of the bonus image 4 may be set as appropriate.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, as a third embodiment to which the present invention is applied, an example in which the configuration of the bonus prize storage section (container section) is different will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol shall be attached | subjected about the component similar to 1st and 2nd embodiment, and description shall be abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing an example of a tray-type container in the present embodiment. The tray-type container 402 that is a storage unit for the bonus prize Q in the present embodiment corresponds to the box-shaped container 302 in the first embodiment. As shown in the figure, the tray-type container 402 includes a tray 404 having an inclined portion 405 that facilitates discharging the bonus prize Q placed on the upper surface, and extends downward from the lower surface of the inclined portion 405 in the front-rear direction. And a support roller 410 that rolls, and a guide roller 321 is attached to the rear side of the left and right outer surfaces.

  The tray-type container 402 is pivotally supported on the guide rail 322 via the guide roller 321 at the rear part, and the front part is disposed in contact with the upper surface of the fixed table 1010 by the support caster 410. Therefore, the center of gravity of the tray-type container 402 exists in front of the attachment position of the guide roller 321, and its weight acts to rotate downward about the guide roller 321. However, in the state where the support caster 410 is in contact with the upper surface of the fixed table 1010, the support caster 410 supports the weight, thereby suppressing the rotation around the guide roller 321 and preventing the tray type container 402 from tilting forward. Suppress.

  FIG. 9 is a side view showing the operation until the bonus prize payout device according to this embodiment operates. In FIG. 9A, the tray type container 402 is still positioned above the fixed table 1010. Since the support caster 410 is in contact with the upper surface of the fixed table 1010, the tray type container 402 is prevented from rotating and tilting forward. Eventually, when the prize P ′ pushed by the reciprocating sliding movement of the slide table 1012 contacts the guide plate 312, the tray-type container 402 moves in the direction of the prize payout outlet 1008 (forward direction).

  FIG. 5B shows a state in which the tray type container 402 reaches the premium payout outlet 1008 and the support caster 410 is detached from the end of the fixed table 1010. When the support caster 410 is removed from the end of the fixed table 1010, the tray type container 402 is rotated downward about the guide roller 321 by the load W due to the bonus prize Q, and the tray 404 is moved to the prize payout outlet 1008. Inclined towards. Accordingly, the stored bonus prize Q is paid out through the inclined portion 405.

[Fourth Embodiment]
Next, as a fourth embodiment to which the present invention is applied, an example in which the configuration of the bonus prize storage section (container section) is different will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol shall be attached | subjected about the component similar to 1st-3rd embodiment, and description shall be abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an example of the tray-type container in the present embodiment. The tray type container 502 that is a storage unit for the bonus prize Q in the present embodiment corresponds to the box type container 302 in the first embodiment and the tray type container 402 in the third embodiment. As shown in the figure, the tray container 502 has a tray 504 having an inclined portion 505 that facilitates discharging the bonus prize Q placed and stored, and extends downward from the lower surface or side surface of the tray 504. And a push plate 506 that comes into contact with the prize P on the fixed table 1010. Guide rollers 321 a to 321 d are attached to the front and rear portions of the left and right outer surfaces of the tray 504, and can freely move along the guide rail 322 with four wheels.

  Therefore, the prize P pushed by the slide table 1012 pushes the push plate 506, and the tray type container 402 moves forward indirectly. In other words, the push plate 506 has the same effect as the guide plate 312 of the first embodiment in that it obtains a force for moving the reservoir. Therefore, by appropriately setting the width and shape of the push plate 506 similarly to the guide plate 312 of the first embodiment, the so-called “payout rate” can be adjusted by controlling the moving force.

  FIG. 11 is a side view showing the operation until the bonus prize payout device according to this embodiment operates. In FIG. 9A, the tray-type container 502 is still positioned above the fixed table 1010. In the guide portion 320-4 in the present embodiment, the guide rail 322 is provided so that the portion located above the fixed table 1010 forms a straight line and is substantially horizontal, but the end on the prize payout outlet 1008 side is provided. The portion forms a bent portion 322c that bends downward, and a stopper 325 for preventing the tray-type container 502 from dropping is provided at the tip. Eventually, when the prize P ′ pushed by the reciprocating sliding motion of the slide table 1012 comes into contact with the push plate 506, the tray type container 502 moves in the direction of the prize payout outlet 1008 (forward direction).

  FIG. 5B shows a state where the tray-type container 502 reaches the premium payout outlet 1008 and the push plate 506 is separated from the end of the fixed table 1010. In this state, the front guide rollers 321a and 321c reach the bent portion 322c, and as a result, the tray-type container 502 starts to descend the inclined portion of the bent portion 322c. When the tray-type container 502 is tilted, the stored bonus prize Q is discharged from the inclined portion 505 to the prize payout outlet 1008, and the tray-type container 502 that has completely lowered the curved portion 322c is stopped by the stopper 325.

[Fifth Embodiment]
Next, as a fifth embodiment to which the present invention is applied, a case will be described in which indicator means for displaying a guideline until a bonus prize is paid out is provided. In addition, about the component similar to 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol shall be attached and description shall be abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the indicator means in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, a transparent cylinder 340 having an open top is fixed to an attachment stay 324 of the guide portion 320. In the cylinder 340, a display body 342 that can be inserted through the cylinder 340 is suspended by a wire 344 extending from the side surface of the box-shaped container 302. Accordingly, the relative position of the display body 342 with respect to the cylinder 340 is located at the upper part as the box-shaped container 302 is farther from the prize payout outlet 1008, and the display body 342 is lowered as the box-shaped container 302 approaches the prize payout outlet 1008.

  The cylinder 340 is provided with a scale indicating the target reaching point and a display object 346 at a position indicating the position immediately before the support caster 310 is removed from the fixed table 1010, and the player can display the relative position of the display body 342. From the relationship, it is possible to give an indication of how much the door of the box-type container 302 will open. As a result, it is not necessary to look into the support caster 310 that is hidden behind the box-shaped container 302 and check the position. Further, by clearly indicating the degree of achievement until the bonus prize Q is paid out, the player's gambling and excitement can be enhanced.

[Description of Modification]
The first to fifth embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and additions, omissions, and modifications of components are appropriately made without departing from the spirit of the invention. Also good.

  For example, the support caster rolls on the upper surface of the fixed table 1010 by a so-called roller, but may be realized by a slider that slides on the upper surface of the fixed table 1010, for example.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 13, the guide part 320-6 having the same shape as the guide part 320-4 shown in the fourth embodiment is used in combination with the box-type container 302 shown in the first embodiment. Also good.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, in this case, the bent portion 322c is formed or arranged so that the bent portion starts from the position where the door portion 306 of the box container 302 opens. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6A, the box-shaped container 302 with the door 306 opened is moved away from the fixed table 1010 along the curved portion 322c from the position indicated by the broken line to the position indicated by the solid line. Go down. Accordingly, an event occurs in which the space between the box-shaped container 302 and the end of the fixed table 1010 spreads and the prize P ′ pushed by the slide table 1012 in the subsequent game play is caught by the box-shaped container 302 with the door 306 opened. Is less likely to occur. This is particularly effective when items of various sizes are used as prizes. For example, in the case of FIG. 5A, if the box-type container 302 cannot be moved from the position indicated by the broken line, the prize Pb ′ is held by the box-type container 302, but the box-type container 302 is displayed in a solid line. If it moves to the position, the prize Pb ′ can be paid out.
