Further, both the left and right second inflow ports 62 communicate with the non-specific region 81 via the ball transfer path 70.
[0014]
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the ball transfer path 70 is mainly composed of a belt transfer path 72 constituted by a communication path 71 and a transfer belt 76.
In the communication passage 71, branch passage portions communicating with both the left and right second inflow ports 62 are extended to the back side along the left and right side portions of the lower portion of the main body constituting member 32, and at the back side, the center portion is formed. It is formed to be bent toward each other and merge. A ball receiving portion 71a is recessed in the joining portion.
The transfer belt 76 constituting the belt transfer path 72 is higher than the height of the driven roller 75 rotatably disposed at a position lower than the ball receiving portion 71 a of the communication path 71 and the ball guide path 40 by a predetermined height. It is stretched between a drive roller 74 that is disposed at a position and is driven to rotate by using a motor 95 as a drive source.
[0015]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an opening window 47 is formed at a substantially central portion in the left-right direction of the back side wall 46 of the winning room 33 from the back side end of the shelf board 50 to a predetermined height. ing. And the substantially upper half part of the front side belt part of the transfer belt 76 is exposed in the opening window 47, and a player can visually recognize it.
In this embodiment, in the longitudinal direction of the transfer belt 76, a plurality of magnetic force adsorbing portions 77 that adsorb spheres B (for example, only one sphere B) by magnetic force are arranged at predetermined intervals. That is, in the longitudinal direction of the transfer belt 76, magnets constituting the plurality of magnetic force attracting portions 77 are dotted.
Further, in this embodiment, in the range of the discharge trajectory (drop trajectory) of the sphere B discharged from the discharge part at the tip of the ball guide path 40, the front upper portion of the transfer belt 76 is set as a ball dropable region 79 (FIG. 3). reference).
And the ball | bowl dropping means 40 is comprised by the ball | bowl guide way 40 which drops the ball | bowl B transferred to the ball | bowl dropable area | region 79 on the ball | bowl rolling part 51 (shelf board 50).
In addition, a non-specific area inlet 81 a is formed in the back side wall 46 of the winning room 33 adjacent to the upper part of the opening window 47. The non-specific region inlet 81 a communicates with the non-specific region 81.
[0016]
As shown in FIG. 2, a symbol display device 90 made up of a liquid crystal display, a 7-segment display, or the like is installed on the upper part of the main body constituting member 32.
On the front side of the symbol display device 90, a display unit 91 that displays a lottery symbol on a condition that the ball B is detected by the ball detector 66 provided in the specific area 65 is provided so as to be visible to the player. ing. That is, when the sphere B is detected by the sphere detector 66 provided in the specific area 65, the signal is transmitted to the main control device (main control board) 100, and the signal output from the main control device 100 corresponding thereto is transmitted. The lottery symbols based on the above are variably displayed on the display unit 91.
[0017]
The pachinko machine as a gaming machine according to this embodiment is configured as described above. Accordingly, during the game, a ball B (pachinko ball) launched from a ball launching device (not shown) into the ball launching passage 14 is launched at the top of the game area 15 and hits a number of nails, windmills 17 and the like in the game area 15. It flows toward the bottom.
Among the balls B launched into the game area 15, some of the balls B flow into the winning ports such as the general winning device 16 and the opening / closing body operating winning device 18. Further, the balls B that have not flowed into the winning opening flow into the out opening 19 at the lower part of the game area 15 and are discharged out of the machine.
[0018]
When the ball B flows into the winning opening of the opening / closing body actuating winning device 18, the ball B is detected by a ball detector (not shown). Then, the detection signal of the sphere detector is transmitted to the main controller 100. Based on this, an electric actuator (not shown) of the opening / closing body 35 of the right generation device 31 is operated by a signal output from the main control device 100. As a result, the opening / closing body 35 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, around 0.5 seconds) and then closed to the original state.
As shown in FIG. 2, when the ball B flows into the winning room 33 from the winning port 34 of the right generating device 31 when the opening / closing body 35 is opened, the ball B firstly has a ball guiding path 40 above the winning room 33. And is discharged from the discharge portion at the tip of the spherical guide path 40.
The sphere B released from the discharge part at the tip of the sphere guide path 40 is received on the ball rolling part 51 of the shelf board 50 and rolls on the ball rolling part 51. Then, the sphere B on the ball rolling part 51 hits the protruding part 52 and rolls in the first inflow port 60 or the second inflow port 62 while changing the rolling direction.
[0019]
When the sphere B on the sphere rolling part 51 flows into the first inflow port 60, the sphere B is detected in the specific area 65 by the flow sphere detector 66. Then, the lottery symbols on the display unit 91 of the symbol display device 90 fluctuate and stop after a set time. Then, a lottery pattern based on a signal transmitted from main controller 100 is displayed on display unit 91. When the lottery symbol displayed on the display unit 91 becomes a “hit symbol”, for example, “7 · 7” and stops, a jackpot right is generated.
[0020]
After the big hit right is generated, when the ball B flowing in the game area 15 is received by the ball receiving portion 25 of the ball receiving rotating body 24 of the third kind starting device 23 and released to the discharge port, the ball B is detected as a ball. Detected by a device (not shown). Then, the detection signal is transmitted to main controller 100. Based on this, a signal output from the main control device 100 is transmitted to the big prize opening device 20, and the big prize opening 22 is opened by the opening / closing door 21. When a maximum of 10 balls B flow into the big winning opening 22 or when a predetermined time (for example, 8 seconds) elapses, the big winning opening 22 is once closed by the open / close door 21, and one round of the big hit game is made here. finish.
During one round, when a ball enters a specific winning portion provided in the big winning opening 22 and the ball is detected by a ball detector (not shown), the big winning opening 22 is again opened by the open / close door 21. be opened. In this way, the jackpot game is played up to 16 rounds and the jackpot game ends.
[0021]
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the ball B rolling on the ball rolling portion 51 of the shelf board 50 from the winning opening 34 through the ball guide path 40 flows into the second inflow port 62, the ball B is Then, it flows through the communication passage 71 of the ball transfer path 70 and is received by the ball receiving portion 71a on the back side of the communication passage 71.
The front belt portion of the transfer belt 76 constituting the belt transfer path 72 of the ball transfer path 70 is rotated upward by the rotational force of the drive roller 74 using the motor 95 as a drive source.
Then, the sphere B of the sphere receiving portion 71 a is transferred while being lifted toward the non-specific region inlet 81 a while being attracted by the magnetic force attracting portion 77 of the transfer belt 76. Then, the sphere B adsorbed by the magnetic force adsorbing portion 77 of the transfer belt 76 abuts the lower surface of the opening / closing plate 53 and passes while opening the opening / closing plate 53 against its own weight. Thereafter, the sphere B adsorbed by the magnetic force adsorbing portion 77 of the transfer belt 76 is discharged to the non-specific area inlet 81 a through the sphere dropable area 79 and flows to the non-specific area 81.
[0022]
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the sphere B (preceding sphere B1) that flows in before the winning opening 34 flows into the second inflow port 62 through the ball guiding path 40 and the ball rolling part 51, and the preceding The time when the ball B1 is transferred to the ball dropable region 79 of the ball transfer path 70, and the time when the ball B (following ball B2) that flows in after the winning opening 34 is guided to the ball guide path 40 and released. Is matched, the succeeding sphere B2 released from the tip of the ball guiding path 40 collides with the preceding sphere B1 transferred to the ball dropable region 79. As a result, the preceding sphere B1 transferred to the ball dropable region 79 together with the succeeding sphere B2 falls on the ball rolling portion 51 and rolls. As a result, the possibility that the sphere B once flowing into the second inlet 62 flows into the first inlet 60 and flows into the specific region 65 is restored.
In other words, when the preceding ball B1 flows into the ball transfer path 70 from the second inflow port 62, the player causes the subsequent ball B2 to flow into the winning opening 34 by timing (timing), whereby the ball transfer path 70 is reached. The preceding sphere B1 that has reached the sphere dropping possible region 79 can be dropped onto the ball rolling portion 51. For this reason, it is possible to give the player the gameability required for the game amount. Then, when the succeeding ball B2 collides with the preceding ball B1 in the ball dropable region 79 and drops the preceding ball B1, it is possible to give a great satisfaction to the player.
[0023]
As described above, in the process in which the sphere B rolling on the sphere rolling part 51 flows into the non-specific region 81, the flow of the sphere B can be changed, and a part of the sphere B can be changed. Can be configured to flow into the specific region 65. In other words, the sphere B that normally flows into the non-specific area 81 can be revived by being dropped from the sphere dropable area 79 onto the ball rolling part 51 by the sphere dropping means.
In this embodiment, in the longitudinal direction of the transfer belt 76, a plurality of magnetic force adsorbing portions 77 that adsorb the sphere B by a magnetic force are arranged at predetermined intervals.
Therefore, the sphere B flowing into the sphere transfer path 70 can be reliably transferred to a desired height position in a state where the sphere B is adsorbed by the magnetic force adsorbing portion 77 of the transfer belt 76. In particular, the sphere B can be reliably transferred from the low position, that is, from the ball receiving portion 71a of the communication passage 71 to the high position, that is, the non-specific area inlet 81a.
[0024]
The preceding sphere B1 that has flowed in before the winning opening 34 flows into the second inflow port 62 through the ball guiding path 40 and the ball rolling portion 51, and the preceding sphere B1 can drop in the sphere transfer path 70. In order to make it easy to match the time when the ball is transferred to the region 79 and the time when the succeeding sphere B2 that has flowed in after the winning opening 34 is guided to the ball guide path 40 and released, the magnetic force adsorbing portion of the transfer belt 76 When the preceding sphere B1 adsorbed by 77 reaches the ball dropable region 79 or just before it, the transfer speed of the transfer belt 76 is set to be slowed or stopped for a predetermined time. Is also possible. By setting in this way, the probability of restoration of the preceding sphere B1 can be adjusted. For this reason, it is preferable to set the transfer speed of the transfer belt 76 to be slowed or stopped as described above, particularly in a gaming state with a probability variation (for example, a gaming state with a high probability of being a big hit). .
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a detector 110 that detects the opening operation of the opening / closing plate 53 is disposed on the opening / closing plate 53, and the detection signal of the detector 110 is received. It can be set easily and accurately by controlling the operation of the motor 95 by a signal transmitted to the main control device 100 and output from the main control device 100 based on this.
It is also possible to set the winning opening 34 to be opened for a predetermined time (for example, a short time of about several seconds) on condition that the preceding ball B1 is detected by the detector 110. In this case, the player has to wait for the opening timing of the winning opening 34 to flow in the ball, and a game amount is required, so that the gameability can be further enhanced.
[0025]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case of the third type pachinko machine provided with the right generation device 31 as the winning device is illustrated, but the second type and fourth type pachinko machine having the winning device are provided. It is also possible to adopt.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the magnetic adsorption unit 77 is provided to hold and transfer the sphere B on the transfer belt 76, but instead of the magnetic adsorption unit 77, the sphere B is received on the transfer belt 76. You may form the holding | maintenance part to hold | maintain. Further, it is possible to transfer the sphere B by providing a transfer mechanism other than the transfer belt 76 in the sphere transfer path 70.
In the above embodiment, the range of the discharge trajectory (drop trajectory) of the sphere B emitted from the discharge part at the tip of the sphere guide path 40 is set to match the ball dropable region 79 on the transfer belt 76. ing. That is, the case where the ball dropping means for dropping the ball B transferred to the ball dropable region 79 onto the ball rolling part 51 is configured by the ball guide path 40 is exemplified. The ball dropping means may be configured by an advancing / retreating member that moves forward / backward in the possible region 79 using an electric actuator as a drive source.
Further, when the ball dropping means is constituted by the advance / retreat member, the advance / retreat member may be operated on condition that the ball passes through a predetermined area (for example, a winning opening or a gate opening) and is detected by the detector. Is possible. In this way, by operating the advance / retreat member, the player waits for the timing at which the preceding ball B1 passes through the ball drop region 79 so that the ball passes through a predetermined region (for example, a winning opening or a gate port). Since the launch control must be performed and a game skill is required, the game can be further improved.
Further, after the ball B that has flowed before the winning opening 34 flows into the second inflow port 62, the advancing / retreating member is controlled to advance / retreat on condition that the ball (following ball) B flows into the winning opening 34. It is also possible to do.
[0026]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, in the process in which the sphere rolling on the ball rolling part flows into the non-specific area, the flow of the sphere is changed, and a part of the spheres are changed to the specific area. It can be configured to be able to flow into the player, and can give the player a sense of expectation.
