The pachinko pachinko ball dropping path 17 guides the pachinko ball 7 to the outside of the center accessory 14 or a stage 18 described later when the pachinko ball 7 falling near the left side surface of the center accessory 14 enters. On the downstream side of the pachinko ball dropping path 17, an external discharge port 17 a for discharging the pachinko ball 7 to the outside of the center accessory 14 and a stage guide port 17 b for guiding the pachinko ball 7 onto the stage 18 are formed.

  The center accessory 14 is provided with a stage 18 below the symbol variable display device 9. The stage 18 includes a rolling surface 18a formed by being gradually inclined upward and bent in an arc shape from the central portion at the lowest position toward both ends. The rolling surface 18a is formed with a central groove 18b formed in the center in the depth direction, and an inclined portion 18c extending to the left and right of the central groove 18b and inclined upward. 18b and the left and right inclined portions 18c are each formed in a shape that is inclined downward toward the front surface side. In the central groove 18b and the left and right inclined portions 18c, the pachinko balls 7 mainly guided from the stage guide port 17b of the pachinko ball dropping path 17 and the pachinko balls 7 bounced off by the nails around the center accessory 14 stay. For example, the pachinko ball 7 guided from the stage guide port 17b of the pachinko ball dropping path 17 rolls toward the central groove 18b at the lower position of the stage 18, and when the momentum is applied, the inclined portion 18c rolls left and right. The central groove 18b is provided immediately above the start winning opening 10, and the probability that the pachinko ball 7 dropped from the central groove 18b wins the start winning opening 10 as compared to the pachinko ball 7 dropped from the inclined portion 18c. Becomes higher.

A fixed guiding portion 19 is provided on the lower side of the front surface of the center accessory 14. The fixed guiding portion 19 includes an inflow port (ball introduction port) 19a into which the pachinko sphere 7 flows, a guide path 19b (see FIG. 3) for guiding the pachinko sphere 7 flowing in from the inflow port 19a, and a pachinko guided through the guide path 19b. An outlet (ball outlet) 19c for discharging the sphere 7 is provided. The inflow port 19a is formed on the upper side of the outlet 19c, and the inflow port 19a and the outlet 19c are connected by a guide path 19b. The exit 19c is formed in the vicinity of the start winning opening 10 and substantially directly above. The pachinko ball 7 that flows into the inflow port 19a, is guided through the guide path 19b, and is discharged from the exit 19c is a pachinko ball falling path. Compared to the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen to the outside of the center accessory 14 through the 17 external discharge ports 17a and the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen from the inclined portion 18c, the probability of winning at the start winning port 10 becomes higher.

The lower portion of the front surface of the center won game 14, the movable won game 2 0, communicating disengaged position just beneath the outer discharge port 17a (see FIG. 2), to the inlet 19a comes in front of the inlet 19a It is provided so as to be movable between the communication position (see FIG. 4). In the present embodiment, the fixed guiding portion 19 and the movable accessory 20 constitute a game ball guiding path that is a so-called warp path. The movable accessory 20 is formed in a substantially box shape including a front surface, a left surface, a right surface, and a lower surface in FIG. 2, and a storage unit 20 a formed by the front surface, the left surface, the right surface, and the lower surface stores one pachinko ball 7. It is formed in a size that can be captured. A first attachment shaft 27 and a second attachment shaft 28 for attaching a second gear 26 that meshes with a gear belt 25 described later are attached to the left end portion of the rear surface of the movable accessory 20 (see FIG. 5). Two elongated insertion holes 14 a for inserting the first and second mounting shafts 27 and 28 are formed in the lower side portion of the front surface of the center accessory 14. When the first and second mounting shafts 27 and 28 move through the two long hole-like insertion holes 14a, the movable accessory 20 moves. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, an inclined portion 20 b that is gradually inclined downward toward the rear surface side is formed on the inner surface of the lower surface of the movable accessory 20.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a moving unit 22 for moving the movable accessory 20 is provided inside the center accessory 14. As shown in FIG. 5, the moving unit 22 includes a motor 23, a first gear 24, a gear belt 25, and a second gear 26. The motor 23 is connected to a control device 30 that controls the pachinko machine 2, and the drive is controlled by the control device 30. The motor shaft 23a of the motor 23 is inserted into the mounting hole 24a formed in the first gear 24, and when the motor 23 is driven and rotated by the command from the control device 30, the first gear 24 is rotated. Rotate. The gear belt 25 is formed in a ring shape, and a plurality of gear teeth are formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof. The gear belt 25 is wound around a first pulley 31 and a second pulley 32 provided inside the center accessory 14, and the gear teeth mesh with the first gear 24 and the second gear 26, respectively. is doing. Thereby, when the first gear 24 rotates, the gear belt 25 rotates.

  The second gear 26 is attached to the movable accessory 20, and is attached to the first attachment shaft 27 and the second attachment shaft 28 that are inserted through the insertion hole 14 a of the center accessory 14. When the gear belt 25 rotates, a rotational force is generated to rotate the second gear 26. However, when the second gear 26 rotates, the first attachment shaft 27 and the second attachment attached to the second gear 26 are generated. The shaft 28 contacts the inner wall surface of the center accessory 14 that forms the insertion hole 14a, and the rotation of the second gear 26 is stopped. For this reason, the force which the 2nd gear 26 moves to the rotation direction of the gear belt 25 generate | occur | produces. As a result, when the motor shaft 23 a rotates, the movable accessory 20 moves via the first gear 24, the gear belt 25, the second gear 26, and the first and second attachment shafts 27 and 28. For example, when the motor shaft 23a rotates in the direction A in FIG. 5, the movable accessory 20 moves in the direction B in FIG. 5, and when the motor shaft 23a rotates in the direction C in FIG. 5 Moves in the D direction. In the present embodiment, the movable accessory 20 is between a disengagement position just below the external discharge port 17a as shown in FIG. 2 and a communication position just in front of the inflow port 19a as shown in FIG. Move back and forth constantly. Further, the moving speed of the movable accessory 20 is changed as appropriate.

  The operation of the pachinko machine 2 configured as described above will be described. The player inserts the pachinko ball 7 into the supply tray 6 and guides the pachinko ball 7 to the ball launching device through the guide path provided in the supply tray 6 and turns the rotary operation handle 8 a predetermined number of times. The pachinko ball 7 is launched toward the upper side of the game area 4a of the game board 4 by moving and controlling the driving of the ball launcher. The launched pachinko ball 7 enters one of the start winning port 10, the normal winning port 11, the attacker 12, or is recovered from the out port 13 while flowing down from above the game area 4a. When the pachinko ball 7 wins the start winning opening 10, the control device 30 operates a hit determining unit (not shown), and the hit determining unit draws one random value. The lottery random value is checked against a winning table, whether or not to shift to the winning mode is determined as a result of the lottery determination, and information (for example, command) related to the determination is generated. The control device 30 operates the symbol variable display device 9 in response to this command, and the symbol variable display device 9 starts variable symbol display. When the winning is determined by the lottery determination, the control device 30 causes the variable symbol display device 9 to stop a plurality of symbols in a certain combination and opens the attacker 12. The player can acquire many pachinko balls 7 by putting the pachinko balls 7 into the attacker 12. The opening of the attacker 12 is, for example, performed for 15 seconds continuously, with 20 seconds being opened, or 10 pachinko balls 7 being won in the big winning opening in the attacker 12 as one round.

  The player operates the operation handle 8 to adjust the strength with which the pachinko ball 7 is launched so that the pachinko ball 7 wins the start winning opening 10. At this time, the player operates the operation handle 8 aiming at the stage 18 having a high probability that the pachinko ball 7 wins the start winning opening 10. At the left and right inclined portions 18 c of the stage 18, the pachinko balls 7 guided mainly from the stage guide port 17 b of the pachinko ball dropping path 17 and the pachinko balls 7 bounced off by the nails around the center accessory 14 roll. Among the game balls staying at the inclined portion 18c, the pachinko ball 7 that has dropped from the central groove 18b has a higher probability of winning at the start winning opening 10 than the pachinko ball 7 that has dropped from the inclined portion 18c.

  The pachinko ball dropping path 17 is formed with an external discharge port 17a for guiding the pachinko ball 7 to the outside of the center accessory 14, and a stage guide port 17b for guiding the pachinko ball 7 to the stage 18, and the external discharge port. The pachinko sphere 7 that has passed through 17 a is guided to the outside of the center accessory 14, and the pachinko sphere 7 that has passed through the stage guide port 17 b is guided to the stage 18. The pachinko ball 7 that has fallen to the outside of the center accessory 14 through the external discharge port 17a and the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen from the inclined portion 18c are placed in the start winning port 10 in comparison with the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen from the central groove 18b. Probability of winning is reduced.

  The movable accessory 20 is constantly moving between a disengagement position just below the external discharge port 17a and a communication position just in front of the inflow port 19a. For example, when the movable accessory 20 is located at the disengagement position. In addition, when the pachinko ball 7 falls from the external discharge port 17 a, the fallen pachinko ball 7 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 20 a of the movable accessory 20. And if the movable accessory 20 which accommodated the pachinko ball 7 in the accommodating part 20a moves to a communicating position, the pachinko ball 7 accommodated in the accommodating part 20a will be guide | induced to the inflow port 19a by the inclination part 20b. The pachinko ball 7 that has flowed into the inflow port 19a is guided through the guide path 19b and discharged from the outlet 19c. The pachinko ball 7 discharged from the outlet 19c has a higher probability of winning the start winning port 10 than the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen to the outside of the center accessory 14 through the external discharge port 17a. In addition, when the pachinko ball 7 falls from the inclined portion 18c, if the movable accessory 20 is positioned immediately below the pachinko ball 7, the pachinko ball 7 dropped from the inclined portion 18c is accommodated in the accommodating portion 20a of the movable accessory 20. The And as above-mentioned, the pachinko ball 7 accommodated in the accommodating part 20a is discharged | emitted from the exit 19c.

  Thus, by moving the movable accessory 20 in which the accommodating portion 20a for accommodating the pachinko sphere 7 is moved, the pachinko sphere 7 falls from the external discharge port 17a when the movable accessory 20 is located at the disengagement position. In the case where the pachinko ball 7 falls from the inclined portion 18c and the movable accessory 20 is located directly below the probability, the probability of winning in the start winning opening 10 as compared to the pachinko ball 7 dropped from the central groove 18b. The probability that the pachinko ball 7 dropped to the outside of the center accessory 14 through the external discharge port 17a and the pachinko ball 7 dropped from the inclined portion 18c is accommodated in the accommodating portion 20a and won in the start winning port 10 Can be discharged from the high exit 19c, the pachinko ball 7 has a low probability of winning in the start winning opening 10, and the external outlet 17a where the player's interest in the game is reduced is reduced. And when dropped outside the center won game 14 I, even when dropped from the inclined part 18c, it is possible to maintain interest in the game of the player.

  In the above embodiment, the movable accessory 20 is attached so as to move between the disengagement position that is directly below the external discharge port 17a and the communication position that is directly in front of the inflow port 19a. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is only necessary to be able to move between the communication position directly in front of the inflow port 19a and the separation position separated from the communication position. For example, the entire width of the stage 18 or the entire circumference of the center accessory 14 You may make it move over.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the capture | acquisition part comprised the movable accessory 20 in which the accommodating part 20a was formed, it is not limited to this, The pachinko ball 7 is captured, The captured pachinko sphere 7 is released. For example, when the capturing unit is made of a magnetic material, the pachinko ball 7 is captured by magnetism, and the capturing unit moves to a communication position directly in front of the inflow port 19a. The magnetism may be released and the captured pachinko sphere 7 may be released to flow into the inflow port 19a.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the accommodating part 20a of the movable accessory 20 was formed in the magnitude | size which can accommodate one pachinko ball 7, the accommodating part 20a is a magnitude | size which can accommodate one or more pachinko balls 7. What is necessary is just to be sufficient, and also more than one movable accessory 20 may be provided.

  In the above embodiment, the movable accessory 20 can be moved between a communication position directly in front of the inflow port 19a and a disengagement position separated from the communication position, and the storage portion 20a of the movable accessory 20 is used as a game ball. Although it is configured as the entrance of the guide passage, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the movable accessory 20 can be moved between a communication position that is directly in front of the outlet 19c and a disengagement position that is separated from the communication position. The portion 20a may be configured to be an exit of the game ball guiding passage, and the storage portion 20a may be configured to be an intermediate portion between the entrance and the exit of the gaming ball guiding passage.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, the inflow port 19a, the guide path 19b, and the exit 19c are formed substantially right above the start winning opening 10, and it flows into the inflow port 19a, and the guide path 19b is guided and falls from the exit 19c. The probability that the pachinko ball 7 wins the start winning port 10 is higher than the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen to the outside of the center accessory 14 through the external discharge port 17a and the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen from the inclined portion 18c. However, the position where the inlet 19a, the guide path 19b, and the outlet 19c are formed is not limited. For example, the pachinko ball 7 that has dropped from the outlet 19c passes through the external outlet 17a and the center accessory 14 Compared to the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen to the outside and the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen from the inclined portion 18c, the ball is formed almost directly above the normal winning port 11 so that the probability of winning the normal winning port 11 is higher. It may be.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the movable accessory 20 was always moved, it is not limited to this, When the movable accessory 20 is stopped at normal time and the reservation ball display part 15 does not display the reservation ball | bowl The movable accessory 20 may be moved. Further, in relation to the jackpot, for example, the jackpot, the probability variation jackpot where the jackpot probability until the next time is changed as compared with the jackpot probability at the normal time. The jackpot probability until the next time is the same as the jackpot probability at the normal time, and after the probability variation jackpot, the time shortened state after the regular jackpot ends (the variable display time in the symbol variable display device 9 and The movable accessory 20 may be moved when the stop display time is shorter than usual. Further, the movable accessory 20 is stopped at normal times, and when the pachinko ball 7 wins the start winning opening 10, the control device 30 performs a lottery to determine whether the movable accessory 20 is movable (winning) or not (disconnected). The movable lottery unit may be operated, and the movable accessory 20 may be moved (for example, one reciprocation) only when the winning lottery is drawn by the lottery by the movable lottery unit. The probability of winning a lottery in the lottery by the movable lottery unit may be higher than in normal times after the probability variation big hit or in a time shortening state.

  6 and 7 show another embodiment. Constituent members similar to those in the above embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the detailed description thereof is simplified. In this embodiment, a movable slope 40 is movably provided on the lower side of the front surface of the center accessory 14. The movable slope 40 is formed in a shape that is gradually inclined upward and bent into an arc shape from the lowest central portion toward both ends. The movable slope 40 is formed with first to third cutouts 40a to 40c for dropping the staying pachinko ball 7, and is formed in a shape inclined downward toward the rear surface side. In the movable slope 40, the pachinko ball 7 dropped mainly from the inclined portion 18c of the stage 18, the pachinko ball 7 dropped to the outside of the center accessory 14 through the external discharge port 17a, and the nail around the center accessory 14 are bounced back. The pachinko balls 7 stayed.

  On the rear surface of the movable slope 40, first to third insertion shafts 41 to 43 and an attachment shaft 44 for attaching the second gear 26 meshing with the gear belt 25 are attached. A long hole-like insertion hole 14 b for inserting the first to third insertion shafts 41 to 43 and the attachment shaft 44 is formed in the lower side portion. When the first to third insertion shafts 41 to 43 and the attachment shaft 44 move through the long hole-shaped insertion hole 14b, the movable slope 40 moves.

  The second gear 26 is attached to an attachment shaft 44 attached to the movable slope 40. When the gear belt 25 rotates, a rotational force is generated to rotate the second gear 26. However, when the second gear 26 rotates, the mounting shaft 44 attached to the second gear 26 rotates, Accordingly, the movable slope 40 to which the attachment shaft 44 is attached rotates, and the first to third insertion shafts 41 to 43 abut against the inner wall surface of the center accessory 14 forming the insertion hole 14a, and the second gear. The rotation of 26 stops. For this reason, the force which the 2nd gear 26 moves to the rotation direction of the gear belt 25 generate | occur | produces. Accordingly, when the motor shaft 23 a rotates, the movable slope 40 moves via the first gear 24, the gear belt 25, the second gear 26, and the attachment shaft 44. For example, when the motor shaft 23a rotates in the direction A in FIG. 7, the movable slope 40 moves in the direction B in FIG. 7, and when the motor shaft 23a rotates in the direction C in FIG. 7, the movable slope 40 in FIG. Move in the D direction. Note that the moving speed of the movable slope 40 is appropriately changed.

  The movable slope 40 moves in the B and D directions in FIG. 7. For example, when the movable slope 40 is positioned to receive the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen outside the center accessory 14 through the external discharge port 17 a. When the pachinko ball 7 falls outside the center accessory 14 through the external discharge port 17 a, the fallen pachinko ball 7 flows into the movable slope 40. Then, the pachinko ball 7 that has flowed into the movable slope 40 flows into the inflow port 19a of the fixed guiding portion 19 or falls from the first to third cutouts 40a to 40c. Similarly, when the pachinko ball 7 falls from the inclined portion 18c when the movable slope 40 is positioned to receive the pachinko ball 7 dropped from the inclined portion 18c, the dropped pachinko ball 7 is moved to the movable slope 40. Flow into. Then, the pachinko ball 7 that has flowed into the movable slope 40 flows into the inflow port 19a of the fixed guiding portion 19 or falls from the first to third cutouts 40a to 40c.

  Thus, by moving the movable slope 40, when the movable slope 40 is located at a position for receiving the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen to the outside of the center accessory 14 through the external discharge port 17a, the external discharge port 17a is moved. When the pachinko ball 7 falls outside the center accessory 14 or when the movable slope 40 is positioned to receive the pachinko ball 7 dropped from the inclined portion 18c, the pachinko ball 7 dropped from the inclined portion 18c. In such a case, the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen to the outside of the center accessory 14 through the external discharge port 17a that has a lower probability of winning the start winning port 10 than the pachinko ball 7 that has fallen from the central groove 18b, or an inclination The pachinko ball 7 that has fallen from the portion 18 c flows into the inlet 19 a of the fixed guide portion 19 and is discharged from the outlet 19 c that has a high probability of winning the starting winning port 10. Therefore, even when the pachinko ball 7 falls to the outside of the center accessory 14 through the external discharge port 17a or falls from the inclined portion 18c, the player's interest in the game is maintained. Can do.
