Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention includes an accessory that is opened so as to be able to win when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and a game ball that has won the winning combination is guided to a predetermined V zone with a predetermined probability. The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of obtaining a right to be in a gaming state advantageous to a person.
[0002]
The V zone is, for example, a specific winning area where a player can obtain a right to obtain a large number of prize balls (or a right to continue a game state advantageous to the player). Also called winning area.
[0003]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in a gaming machine, particularly a pachinko machine, when an accessory is equipped in the center of the game board and a pachinko ball wins a predetermined winning opening on the gaming board, the pachinko ball is placed in the accessory once or twice. The blade member is opened so that it is easy to win a prize, and while the blade member is open, the pachinko ball enters the accessory in a timely manner, and the pachinko ball entered into the accessory is placed on the predetermined stage. There is a game specification (hereinafter referred to as “two-type gaming machine”) in which a player can obtain a right to enter a gaming state advantageous for a player by rolling and inputting it to a predetermined winning opening (V winning opening).
[0004]
The game state advantageous to the player is that the blade member that normally does not open unless the pachinko ball wins a prize at the predetermined winning opening repeatedly opens and closes, and enters the role with a high probability. Say increasing gaming state. In general, the opening / closing operation of the blade member a predetermined number of times is defined as one round, and this round is continued for about 10 to 15 rounds.
[0005]
Conventionally, in the above two types of gaming machines, after winning the V zone, the number of rounds is determined by lottery. In general, the lottery is often performed by the inside of the gaming machine. That is, until winning in the V zone is a so-called mechanical operation using the rolling motion of the pachinko ball, and the lottery is a so-called display of the lottery operation on a display or the like and the result is displayed numerically. This is a soft control action.
[0006]
However, in this soft control operation (internal lottery), the reliability to the player is low, and the player's own feeling of achievement that the player has won the number of rounds is low.
[0007]
Therefore, in Patent Document 1, it is proposed that both the operation up to winning the V zone and the operation for lottery are performed by so-called mechanical operation. That is, the pachinko ball that won the V zone is guided in the peripheral direction of the rotating body provided below the V zone, and the pachinko ball is accommodated around the axis at the peripheral edge of the rotating body. A portion is formed, and the housing portion sequentially passes through the guide position from the V zone of the pachinko ball according to the rotation of the rotating body. Each accommodating portion corresponds to a different lottery result, and the lottery result is determined by being accommodated in any of the accommodating portions.
[0008]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-64-49589
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in Patent Document 1, since the pachinko ball from the V zone is guided to a part of the peripheral edge of the rotating body, the player has a certain amount of time before being accommodated in the accommodating portion depending on the timing of the rotation of the rotating body. It is possible to predict which storage unit will be stored. That is, the so-called two-step mechanical operation is only a part of the production, and there is a problem that the sense of expectation is diminished.
[0010]
In consideration of the above fact, the present invention performs the two-stage lottery acquisition operation by natural operations including rolling and falling of the game balls, respectively, and has a structure that is difficult to predict until the final result is obtained. The object is to obtain a gaming machine that can maintain the player's expectation and enhance the taste.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  According to the first aspect of the present invention, a game ball can be awarded when a predetermined condition is satisfied.The blade memberA game ball that has an opening to win and wins the winning combination is a VWinningA gaming machine capable of obtaining a right to be in a gaming state advantageous to a player upon being guided to the zone, wherein the accessory isIn addition to the V winning zone, a general winning zone for executing a general winning process is provided.By natural movement by the weight of the game ballThe right is determined by the game ball being guided to the V winning zone.V zone guidance stage and V zone guidance stageWinningGame balls guided to the zoneFlows in through a tunnel communicating with the V prize zone,A lottery stage for drawing a degree of continuation of a gaming state advantageous to the player by natural action due to its own weight, and the lottery stage receives a game ball moving from the V zone guide stage at the center of rotation. A ball receiving portion is formed, and a plurality of the ball receiving portions are provided along the periphery of the rotating body, the rotating body having a shape in which the rebound direction of the game ball in the ball receiving portion is indefinite, A game ball bounced off at the ball receiving portion is accommodated, and predetermined according to the rotation.The continuation of the advantageous gaming stateAnd an accommodating / releasing part that selectively releases in any direction for obtaining different lottery results.
[0012]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the game ball is guided to the V zone with a predetermined probability by the natural motion (rolling, dropping, etc.) of the game ball in the V zone guidance stage, the game ball is moved from the V zone guidance stage. Move to the lottery stage.
[0013]
The moving game ball reaches and rebounds at the ball receiving portion formed at the rotation center of the rotating body, but the rebound direction at this time is indefinite. Accordingly, which of the plurality of housings provided along the circumferential direction of the rotating body is slightly different depending on the slight difference in the moving direction of the game ball from the V zone guide stage at that time, the rotation state of the game ball, etc. As a result, the game ball is random and cannot be predicted until the game ball is accommodated in any of the accommodating units.
[0014]
Since the game balls stored in any of the storage units are selectively released in a direction in which different predetermined lottery results are acquired, the storage state in the storage unit greatly depends on the future game state of the player. Affect. Therefore, the so-called mechanical operation with high reliability makes it possible for the player himself to visually confirm all the operation states and makes it difficult to predict the result during the operation.
[0015]
For this reason, the player can see the operation of the game ball on the lottery stage with a sense of expectation to the end.
[0016]
The invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that, in the invention described in claim 1, the ball receiving portion is formed in a spherical shape.
[0017]
  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the ball receiving portion is spherical, for example, when a game ball falls from the normal direction, theoretically, the rebound angle of the spherical surface differs depending on the dropping position. Therefore, it becomes difficult to predict the rebound direction.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, the bonus item further includes a stopper member that restricts the winning of the game ball into the V winning zone, and is a gaming state advantageous for the player, and the predetermined time of the blade member In order to repeat a plurality of round processes that are repeated for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times, in order to repeat a plurality of round processes, in synchronization with the start of the round process, the stopper member stores at least one game ball in a V winning determination position The stopper member is controlled to move to a retracted position where the restriction is released at a predetermined timing.
The invention according to claim 4 is the invention according to claim 3, wherein a game ball upstream of the tunnel portion for entering the V winning zone and confirming the V winning and guiding to the lottery zone is provided. A sensor for detecting is further provided, and the stopper member retains the game ball in the V winning zone and upstream of the sensor.
[0018]

An integrated dish 26 having a ball dish part 24 is disposed below the glass frame 20. The ball tray portion 24 of the integrated tray 26 communicates with a ball storage tank (not shown), and the pachinko balls P (not shown in FIG. 1; see FIG. 3) in the ball storage tank flow out to the ball tray portion 24. A communication port 23 is provided.
[0021]
The one side part (left side part of FIG. 1) of the integrated dish 26 is attached to the inner frame 14 so that it can be opened and closed. An ashtray 28 is disposed on the lower left side on the front surface of the integrated dish 26, and a firing handle 30 is provided on the lower right side for adjusting the flight distance of a ball to be fired from a launching device (not shown).
[0022]
In addition, a game board 32 that is exchangeable by being placed on the game board mounting table is installed in the window part of the inner frame 14 so as to correspond to the window part.
[0023]
As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 32 has a substantially circular game area surrounded by an outer band 36 and an inner band 37. The game board 32 has two types of specifications.
[0024]
The game board 32 includes a windmill 39, a nail (not shown), a center accessory 42, a passing device 48 located on the left and right of the center accessory 42 in FIG. 2, a winning device 49, and a center accessory 42 positioned below the FIG. The gaming parts such as the second type starting ports 60L, 60C, 60R are attached, and the out port 54 is disposed at the lowest position. The passing device 48 may be a winning device, and the winning device 49 may be a passing device.
[0025]
3 to 5 show the detailed structure of the center accessory 42. FIG.
[0026]
The center accessory 42 has an upper and lower two-stage structure, and a blade member 62 is provided on each side of the upper stage. When the pair of blade members 62 are opened, the pachinko ball P falling on the game board 32 is guided by the blade member 62, and the lower stage is guided by the pachinko ball P from the V zone guide stage 64. The lottery stage 66 is performed.
[0027]
The V zone guide stage 64 is provided with a slope plate 68 that also serves as a partition member that partitions the lower lottery stage 66. The upper surface of the slope plate 68 is an inclined surface that becomes lower from the front side to the back side in FIG. 3, and a plurality of protrusions 70 are formed at appropriate positions.
[0028]
The pachinko ball P that is guided by the blade member 62 and flows into the center member 42 is first sent to the vicinity of the front side end portion of the slope plate 68 in FIG. 3 and rolls on the inclined surface of the slope plate 68. Then, it moves to the rear side end in FIG.
[0029]
Further, during this movement, the direction of rolling is changed to correspond to the protrusion 70, and as a result, it is difficult to predict which of the slope plates 68 will reach in the width direction of the rear end in FIG. It has become.
[0030]
Three winning zones 72, 74, and 76 are provided at the back end of the slope plate 68 in FIG. Of these three winning zones 72, 74 and 76, the center is hit (hereinafter referred to as V winning zone 74), and the left and right are set off (hereinafter referred to as general winning zones 72 and 76).
[0031]
Here, when the pachinko ball P wins the V winning zone 74, the player wins the right to enter a gaming state advantageous to the player, and the transition to the next stage (detailed later) is executed. . Further, when the pachinko balls P win the general winning zones 72 and 76, a predetermined number of pachinko balls P are paid out in the same manner as the winning device 49 provided on the normal game board 32. The processing in the center accessory 42 ends.
[0032]
The position of the projection 70 is set so that it is difficult to win in the center in the width direction of the slope plate 68, that is, in the V winning zone 74, and the winning probability in the V winning zone 74 is determined by the projection 70. Is low.
[0033]
As shown in FIG. 4, the bottom surface inside the V winning zone 74 is open, and communicates with the upper end opening of the tunnel portion 78 that guides the winning pachinko ball P to the lower side of the slope plate 68.
[0034]
The V winning zone 74 is provided with a stopper member 80 for restricting the winning to the V winning zone 74, and the stopper member 80 is selectively used as a winning restricting position and a retracted position by the driving force of the solenoid 82. It is possible to move to.
[0035]
The tunnel portion 78 has a crank shape, and has a function of returning the pachinko ball P to the near side (intermediate position of the slope plate 68) from the V winning zone 74 located on the back side of the slope plate 68 in FIG. . Further, the lower end opening of the tunnel portion 78 is directed downward. As a result, the pachinko ball P that has won the V winning zone 74 falls to a substantially central position of the lottery stage 66 located at the lower stage of the center accessory 42. It has a structure.
[0036]
Further, a ball detection sensor 84 is provided in the middle of the passage of the pachinko ball P of the tunnel portion 78, and it is possible to electrically detect the passage of the tunnel portion 78, that is, the winning to the V winning zone 74. It is possible.
[0037]
In addition, in the general winning zones 72 and 76, ball detection sensors 86 and 88 are attached, respectively, and when it is detected that the general winning zones 72 and 76 have been won, the normal winning zones provided on the game board 32 are provided. Control for paying out a predetermined number of winning balls is executed in the same manner as the winning device 49 and the like, and the processing in the center accessory 42 is completed.
[0038]
The lottery stage 66 is provided with a rotating plate 90 that can rotate about the vertical direction (perpendicular direction) of the game board 32 as an axis.
[0039]
A cylindrical wall 92 is formed around the rotary plate 90, and the upper end of the wall 92 extends to the slope plate 68.
[0040]
The rotating plate 90 is rotated at a constant speed in a counterclockwise direction in plan view around the axis by the driving force of the motor 94. Note that this rotation mode may be clockwise, or both rotation directions may be sequentially switched in a time-sharing manner, or a stop period may be provided. Further, it is not essential that the rotational speed is a constant speed, and deceleration, acceleration, and the like may be incorporated.
[0041]
The upper surface of the rotating plate 90 is formed in a mountain shape, the central portion (around the axis) is the highest position, and the periphery is the lowest position.
[0042]
The lower end opening of the tunnel portion 78 faces the central portion. For this reason, the central portion serves as a ball receiving portion 96 that receives the pachinko ball P from the V zone guide stage 64. Since the ball receiving portion 96 does not have a special shape, the falling pachinko ball P rebounds randomly (indefinitely). As a factor of the rebounding direction, a subtle difference in the fall position of the pachinko ball P (the specular reflection direction differs theoretically depending on the subtle drop position difference because the ball receiving portion 96 is spherical), a rotational state, Or the fine dust adhering to the pachinko ball P etc. are mentioned. That is, in other words, the direction of rebound is not determined by design, but a form in which it is impossible to predict where to rebound is employed.
[0043]
A plurality (ten in the present embodiment) of accommodating portions 98A to 98J (hereinafter collectively referred to as accommodating portions 98) are formed on the periphery of the rotating plate 90. The accommodating part 98 is formed by notching a substantially U shape from the periphery of the rotating plate 90 toward the center.
[0044]
The wall 92 has an opening 92A formed in a part of the circumferential direction thereof, and the pachinko ball P accommodated in the accommodating portion 98 (excluding the accommodating portion 98J) is connected to the accommodating portion 98 (accommodating portion). 98J) is opposed to the opening 92A, it flows out from the circumferential surface side opening of the rotating plate 90 to the opening 92A of the wall 92, and is guided to the first guide path 100. .
[0045]
By the way, the stopper piece 102 which prevents the pachinko ball P accommodated in the peripheral surface side opening of the rotating plate 90 of the one accommodating portion 98J from flowing out from the peripheral surface direction among the ten accommodating portions 98 is provided. Is formed.
[0046]
For this reason, even if the pachinko sphere P accommodated in the accommodating portion 98J in which the stopper piece 102 is formed is opposed to the opening 92A of the wall 92, the outflow of the pachinko sphere P is prevented.
[0047]
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, there is no bottom surface of the accommodating portion 98J in which the stopper piece 102 is formed, and the bottom plate portion 66A of the lottery stage 66 is exposed. In the bottom plate portion 66A, an opening 66B is formed at a position overlapping with a rotation locus when the ten accommodating portions 98 rotate in a plan view. For this reason, when the pachinko ball P accommodated in the accommodating portion 98J in which the stopper piece 102 is formed is opposed to the opening 66B formed in the bottom plate portion 66A, it passes through the opening 66B and passes through the second guide path. 104 is guided.
[0048]
Thus, the pachinko ball P accommodated in the accommodating portion 98 of the rotating plate 90 is guided to the first guide path 100 with a probability of 9/10 and to the second guide path 104 with a probability of 1/10. You will be guided.
[0049]
Ball detection sensors 106 and 108 are provided in the middle of the passage of the first guide path 100 and the second guide path 104, respectively. It can be discriminated by the electric signal from
[0050]
Here, in the present embodiment, when passing through the first guide path 100 having a relatively high probability of being guided, the degree of continuation of the state advantageous to the player is set short, and the probability of being guided is compared. When the second guide route 104 is low, the game state is set to a long duration that is advantageous to the player.
[0051]
The gaming state advantageous to the player is to acquire the right by winning the V winning zone 74, and repeating the opening of the blade member 62 for a predetermined time (or a predetermined number of times) for one round. And repeat this multiple rounds.
[0052]
At this time, in the V winning zone 74, so-called puncture is prevented by positioning the stopper member 80 at the limit position in synchronization with the start of the round. In other words, it is possible to prevent the round from being forcibly terminated by winning the V winning zone 74 and to return the stopper member 80 to the retracted position at a predetermined timing, thereby making sure that the transition to the next round is confirmed. It has a role as a measure.
[0053]
In this embodiment, when the first guideway 100 is passed, the number of rounds is 5 rounds, and when the second guideway 104 is passed, the number of rounds is 15 rounds. Discrimination is made according to luck (unspecified operation state by the upper and lower mechanisms using the rolling and dropping of the pachinko balls P).
[0054]
The operation of this embodiment will be described below.
[0055]
When the player holds the handle 30 and performs an operation for launching, the pachinko ball P is launched with a strength corresponding to the handle operation amount (rotation amount).
[0056]
When the pachinko ball P is launched, the pachinko ball P is guided by the outer band 36 and the inner band 37 and falls while moving in an unpredictable manner while coming into contact with a nail or a windmill 39 provided on the game board 32. Here, when the pachinko ball P wins at the second type start ports 60L, 60C, 60R, the blade member 62 is released a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time, and during this release, the pachinko ball P wins the center accessory 42. It becomes possible.
[0057]
When the pachinko ball P is guided into the center accessory 42 in a timely manner, the pachinko ball P is first sent to the V zone guide stage 64 which is the first stage (upper stage).
[0058]
The V zone guide stage 64 is provided with a slope plate 68, and the pachinko ball P rolls from the front side to the back side of the slope plate 68 in FIG.
[0059]
At this time, the rolling direction is changed by coming into contact with the plurality of projecting portions 70, and where to reach in the width direction of the slope plate 68 depends on the rolling state of the pachinko ball P. One looks at this unspecified result.
[0060]
3 is provided with a V winning zone 74 in the center thereof, and general winning zones 72 and 76 are provided so as to sandwich the V winning zone 74, and the pachinko ball P is 1 Win a prize with a probability of / 3. However, the protrusion 70 is provided so that it is difficult to win the V winning zone 74. As a result, the winning probability of the pachinko ball P rolling on the slope plate 68 to the V winning zone 74 is 1 / 3 or lower.
[0061]
When the pachinko ball P wins the general winning zone 72 (or 76), it becomes a so-called detachment, and by detecting this with the ball detection sensors 86 and 88, the pachinko ball P of a predetermined number of prize balls is paid out. Thus, the processing in the center accessory 42 ends.
[0062]
On the other hand, when the pachinko ball P wins the V winning zone 74, it becomes a so-called hit and is guided to the tunnel section 78 and sent to the lottery stage 66 which is the second stage (lower stage).
[0063]
Further, when passing through the tunnel portion 78, this is detected by the ball detection sensor 84, and it is recognized that the right of the gaming state advantageous to the player has been obtained.
[0064]
The determination of whether or not in the V zone guide stage 64 is a so-called mechanical operation in which the player visually observes the pachinko ball to move (here, rolling), so the player is satisfied with the result. However, for example, when adjustment is performed by internal control, there is no such thing as having a suspicious feeling such as.
[0065]
The pachinko ball P sent to the lottery stage 66 passes through the crank-shaped tunnel portion 78, so that the center end portion 42 of the slope plate 68 (from the deepest direction in the depth direction of the center portion 42 to the center portion 42). Is returned to the substantially central portion in the depth direction and falls onto the ball receiving portion 96 at the central portion of the rotating plate 90 provided on the lottery stage 66.
[0066]
In the fallen pachinko ball P, the ball receiving portion 96 of the rotating plate 90 has a spherical shape, and therefore the rebound direction after dropping is indefinite. That is, the rebound direction is random due to the speed and rotation state of the pachinko sphere P falling from the tunnel portion 78, or the influence of slightly adhered dust or the like.
[0067]
Furthermore, since the rotating plate 90 is rotated at a constant speed in a counterclockwise direction in plan view by the driving force of the motor 94, as a result, a plurality of accommodating portions 98 provided along the periphery of the rotating plate 90. It is impossible to predict which of these will be accommodated. Further, since the player can visually check the entire process from the fall of the pachinko ball P from the tunnel part 78 to the accommodation in the accommodation part 98, there is no fraud or tampering, and everything depends on the luck. Thus, the state of accommodation in the accommodation unit 98 is viewed with a sense of expectation.
[0068]
The accommodating portion 98 sequentially opposes the opening 92A provided in a part of the wall 92 in the circumferential direction as the rotating plate 90 rotates. When facing the opening 92A, the pachinko balls P accommodated in the accommodation part 98 (excluding 98J) flow out from the peripheral surface side end of the rotating plate 90, pass through the opening 92A and pass through the first guide path 100. Be guided to.
[0069]
However, since the stopper piece 102 is formed on the peripheral surface side end of the rotating plate 90 in one accommodating portion 98J out of the ten accommodating portions 98, even if it faces the opening 92A. The outflow of pachinko balls P is prevented.
[0070]
That is, the pachinko ball P reaches the first guide path 100 with a probability of 9/10.
[0071]
The bottom plate portion 66A of the lottery stage 66 is exposed at the bottom of the storage portion 98J where the stopper piece 102 is formed. When the rotating plate 90 is rotating, the storage portion 98J is formed where the stopper piece 102 is formed. The pachinko balls P thus moved move while rolling on the bottom plate portion 66A. An opening is formed in a part of the bottom plate portion 66A on the rolling trajectory of the pachinko sphere P. When facing the opening, the pachinko sphere P passes through the opening and passes through the second guide path. Guided to 104.
[0072]
That is, the pachinko ball P reaches the second guide path 104 with a probability of 1/10.
[0073]
Since ball detection sensors 106 and 108 are provided in the middle of the passage of the first guide path 100 and the second guide path 104, respectively, whether the pachinko ball P is guided to the first guide path 100 or It is possible to distinguish whether the information has been guided to the second guide path 104.
[0074]
When passing the first guideway 100 with a relatively high probability of being guided (9/10), the number of rounds is set to 5 and the probability of being guided is relatively low (1/10). When passing the guide route 104, the number of rounds is set to 15 rounds.
[0075]
As a result, in the V zone guidance stage 64, there is a difference in the number of rounds depending on the lottery result in the lottery stage 66 even though the same right of a game state advantageous to the player is obtained by winning the V prize zone 74. Therefore, the game performance is higher than the game form in which the number of rounds is fixed (for example, 10 rounds), and the preference can be improved.
[0076]
Further, in the lottery stage 66, the accommodation state in the accommodation unit 98 is determined by the natural fall of the pachinko ball P and the random rebound at the ball receiving unit 96. In addition, since the player can visually monitor all the details, there is no room for fraud or alteration, and the lottery result is not distrustful.
[0077]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the V zone guide stage 64 performs the so-called mechanical operation up to winning the V winning zone 74 by the natural operation of rolling the pachinko ball P on the slope plate 68. In addition, in the lottery stage 66, the storage of the rotating plate 90 in the storage unit 98 is performed by a so-called mechanical operation by the natural operation of natural falling on the ball receiving unit 96. In addition, since the two stages are performed in a serial operation by one pachinko ball P, and the operation is performed in a state where all the players are visually monitoring, for example, tampering is performed by internal control. So there is no distrust. Further, since all are mechanical operations, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized act such as changing the control program.
[0078]
In the present embodiment, the two-stage stage is arranged in the vertical direction. However, if the same pachinko ball P is used and the mechanical operation in the two-stage stage can be performed and is visible, In particular, the arrangement is not limited to the vertical arrangement, and may be arranged in the horizontal direction. In addition, an operation opposite to the natural fall, such as lifting the pachinko ball P that has been processed in the lower stage and sending it to the upper stage using an elevator mechanism or the like, may be introduced. In this case, it is preferable that the pachinko ball P has a structure that always shows the player the movement of the pachinko ball P.
[0079]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the present invention, the two-stage lottery acquisition operation is performed by natural operations including rolling and falling of the game balls, respectively, and it is difficult to predict until the final result is obtained. It has an excellent effect of sustaining the expectation of the person and enhancing the taste.
