  Further, on the rear side of the moving winning portion 40, a moving mechanism 43 for moving (swinging) the moving winning portion 40 in the left-right direction is provided. The moving mechanism 43 is formed with a male screw portion on the outer peripheral surface and is elongated in the left-right direction, and a female screw that is formed on the back side of the rear wall portion 40b of the moving prize winning portion 40 and engages the male screw portion inside. The bearing portion 45 in which the hole is formed, the guide shaft 46 disposed below the screw shaft 44 in parallel with the screw shaft 44, and the back surface side of the rear wall portion 40b of the moving winning portion 40 of the bearing portion 45. A guide receiving portion 47 that is disposed below and engages with the guide shaft 46 is provided. Then, an output shaft (not shown) of a moving rotary motor serving as a rotational drive source is connected to the end of the screw shaft 44, and when the screw shaft 44 is rotated forward or backward by driving the moving rotary motor, the guide The moving winning portion 40 is configured to move in the left-right direction along the guide shaft 46 in a state where the receiving portion 47 and the guide shaft 46 are engaged. Note that the left / right movement range of the movement winning unit 40 (that is, the left / right movement range of the specific winning area 32) is set to be narrower than the lateral width of the guidance device 33 described later. It is set closer to the center in the left-right direction than both ends (see FIG. 7B). The relationship between a part of the internal configuration of the guidance device 33 and the movement range of the moving prize winning unit 40 will be described in detail later.

  Further, below the specific winning area 32, in other words, below the moving winning portion 40, a winning ball that has passed through the specific winning area 32 or guided to the specific winning area 32 by the guiding device 33 is guided to the specific winning area 32. A ball collection path 49 is provided for collecting game balls that could not be won. Then, an upstream opening (that is, a collection port for receiving game balls) 49a of the ball collection path 49 is opened toward the upper specific winning area 32, and in this opened state, it is set horizontally along the rear wall portion of the concave chamber 15. In addition, the downstream opening 49b of the ball collection path 49 is opened in a state of opening downward toward the rear of the bottom of the concave chamber 15. Further, a remaining ball sensor 50 is provided below the downstream opening 49b, and a game ball won by the remaining ball sensor 50 to the specific winning area 32 and a game guided to the specific winning area 32 but not won. It is configured so that it can be detected (confirmed) that the ball has been collected in the ball collection path 49 and led out to the outside of the concave chamber 15 (in other words, outside the variable winning device 4).

Next, the guidance device 33 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the guiding device 33 includes a first rotating body (inner rotating body) 53, a second rotating body (outer rotating body) 54 containing the first rotating body 53, and a game ball And a suction mechanism 55 that can be disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the front side portion of the second rotating body 54 is arranged in a state of being positioned immediately above the general winning area 31.

The first rotating body 53 is a cylindrical member set with the central axis extending in the left-right direction, and the central axial portion penetrates a shaft hole 57 having a D-shaped cross section. A first rotary shaft 58 having a D-shaped cross section (a part of the rotary shaft in the present invention) is inserted. Further, both left and right ends of the first rotating shaft 58 protrude outward from the end of the first rotating body 53, and the first rotating motor (the first rotating motor) is connected to one end (the left end in FIG. 6) via the connecting member 59. (1 drive source) 60 is connected to the output shaft, the other end (the right end in FIG. 6) is formed in a circular shape in cross section, and is loosely fitted to a part of a second rotating body 54 described later in a freely rotatable state. ing. Therefore, the first rotating body 53 rotates around the first rotating shaft 58 by setting the first rotating shaft 58 sideways in a state of extending in the left-right direction and driving the first rotating motor 60. The outer peripheral surface located on the front surface side of the first rotating body 53 is configured to move in the vertical direction.

The second rotating body 54 is a member formed of a cylindrical body that is slightly larger than the first rotating body 53, and the central axis of this cylindrical body is the same as the first rotating shaft 58 (the central axis of the first rotating body 53). The posture is set on a line, and the first rotating body 53 is housed inside in this state. Further, the edge (the right edge in FIG. 6) of the second rotating body 54 opposite to the first rotating motor 60 is closed with a lid member 62, and the inner side surface of the lid member 62 (first rotating body). A bearing portion 63 on which the first rotating shaft 58 is pivotally supported is formed in a central portion of a surface facing the side portion 53 (see FIG. 7B). A second rotating shaft 64 (a part of the rotating shaft in the present invention) projects from a central portion of the surface opposite to the rotating body 53 so as to be positioned on an extension line of the first rotating shaft 58. . Further, a second rotary motor (second drive source) 65 is disposed on the opposite side of the first rotary motor 60 with the first rotary body 53 and the second rotary body 54 interposed therebetween, and an output shaft of the second rotary motor 65 is arranged. The 2nd rotating shaft 64 is connected to. Therefore, the second rotating body 54 sets the second rotating shaft 64 (that is, the rotation center of the second rotating body 54) along the extending direction of the first rotating shaft 58, and drives the second rotating motor 65. Thus, it is configured to rotate about the second rotation shaft 64 and to move the outer peripheral surface located on the front surface side of the second rotating body 54 in the vertical direction. In addition, although the 2nd rotary body 54 is set so that it may rotate by rotation operation different from the 1st rotary body 53, the detail is demonstrated later.

  The attracting mechanism 55 is a mechanism disposed between the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating body 53 and the inner peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54, and includes a magnetic body 70 including a magnetic body 70 capable of attracting a game ball by magnetic force. A unit 71 and a position changing operation unit 72 capable of changing the position of the magnetic body 70 are provided.

The magnetic body unit 71 houses the magnetic body 70 on the outer periphery of the first rotating body 53. Specifically , a frame-shaped magnetic body storage portion 74 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating body 53 so as to protrude outward, and a disk-shaped magnetic body (in the recess 75 formed in the magnetic body storage portion 74 ( (Magnet) 70 is accommodated. Further, the recess 75 is formed in a horizontally long shape along the extending direction of the first rotation shaft 58, and the length of the long side is longer than the width of the magnetic body 70 (for example, 1.5 mm of the width of the magnetic body 70). Is set so that one magnetic body 70 can move in the recess 75 along the extending direction of the first rotating shaft 58 or the second rotating shaft 64. In the present embodiment, two magnetic body units 71 are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating body 53. Specifically, the first magnetic body unit 71a is disposed at a position of the first rotating body 53 near the first rotating motor 60 (leftward in FIG. 7B) and at the same time as the second rotating motor 65 (see FIG. 7). 7 (b), on the right side), the second magnetic body unit 71b is disposed, and the second magnetic body unit 71b is sandwiched between the center lines CL of the first rotating body 53 and the second rotating body 54 in the left-right direction. The left and right positions are symmetrical with respect to the first magnetic body unit 71a, and are set at positions that are approximately 180 degrees out of phase with respect to the position of the first magnetic body unit 71a around the first rotation shaft 58.

  The magnetic body storage portion 74 has a position near the center line CL in the recess 75 as a winning position 75a, and the moving winning section 40 (the specific winning area 32 that has moved the winning position 75a to the end of the moving range). ) And can be overlapped in front and back. Further, a position that is opposite to the center line CL across the winning possible position 75a is defined as a winning impossible position 75b, and the moving winning part 40 that has moved the winning impossible position 75b to the end of the moving range (specific winning area 32). In other words, the position is set so as not to overlap in the front-rear direction, that is, the position deviating from the front to the outside of the moving range of the specific winning area 32.

The position changing operation unit 72 is provided in the second rotating body 54 (specifically, the inner peripheral portion of the second rotating body 54), and the storage position of the magnetic body 70 in the magnetic body storage section 74 is determined as a winning position 75a and a winning prize. It is a component that can be changed to the impossible position 75b. In detail, the outer peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54 is recessed inward to form an action accommodating portion 77, and an iron disc-like adsorbing member 78 to which the magnetic body 70 can be adsorbed by magnetic force is shaken in the action accommodating portion 77. It is configured to be stored (inserted) without moving. In the present embodiment, on the inner peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54, the first position changing action portion 72a acting only on the magnetic body 70 of the first magnetic body unit 71a and the magnetic body of the second magnetic body unit 71b. The second position changing action portion 72b acting only on the first magnetic body unit 71a, and the third position changing action portion 72c acting on both the magnetic bodies 70 of the first magnetic body unit 71a and the second magnetic body unit 71b. A position changing operation unit 72d.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7B, the first rotating motor 60 is closer to the first magnetic body unit 71a on the inner peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54 (leftward in FIG. 7B). When the first position changing action portion 72a is arranged at the position of the first rotating body 53 and / or the second rotating body 54 is rotated, the first position changing action portion 72a is located on the first magnetic body unit 71a side. (The left side in FIG. 7B) can pass through without interference. Further, the second magnetic body unit 71b is closer to the second rotary motor 65 (to the right in FIG. 7B), and the first position changing action portion 72a is shifted in phase by approximately 180 degrees. When the two-position changing action portion 72b is arranged and the first rotating body 53 and / or the second rotating body 54 is rotated, the second position changing action portion 72b is located on the side of the second magnetic unit 71b (see FIG. 7 (b), the right side) can be passed without interference.

  Further, the third position changing action is performed at a position on the center line CL of the second rotating body 54 and at a position shifted in phase by approximately 90 degrees clockwise from the first position changing action portion 72a when viewed from the first rotating motor 60 side. The portion 72c is arranged, at a position on the center line CL of the second rotating body 54, and at a position shifted by approximately 90 degrees in the counterclockwise direction from the first position changing action portion 72a when viewed from the first rotating motor 60 side. A fourth position changing action portion 72d is arranged (see FIGS. 7A and 8A). In other words, in the second rotating body 54, the third position changing action portion 72c and the fourth position changing action portion 72d are arranged in a state where the phases are shifted from each other by approximately 180 degrees. And when the 1st rotary body 53 and / or the 2nd rotary body 54 are rotated, the 3rd position change action part 72c and the 4th position change action part 72d are the 1st magnetic body unit 71a or the 2nd magnetic body unit. The side of 71b (specifically, the side closer to the center line CL) can pass without interference (see FIG. 8B). Accordingly, when the second rotating body 54 is rotated in the direction in which the front side portion thereof moves downward (that is, the rotation direction indicated by the arrow C in FIGS. 4 to 6), the first position changing action portion 72a and the fourth position changing action are performed. The part 72d, the second position change action part 72b, and the third position change action part 72c move in the order toward the lower side of the second rotating body 54. A decorative cover member (cover sheet) 80 made of an opaque thin plastic film or paper material is wound around the outer periphery of the second rotating body 54 to cover each suction member 78 from the outside. The problem of falling off from the action storage portion 77 is prevented.

  Further, the attracting mechanism 55 includes a distance from the magnetic body 70 to the rotation center (specifically, the first rotation shaft 58) of each rotating body 53, 54, and from the attracting member 78 to the rotation center of each rotating body 53, 54. The distance is set to be approximately equal. Therefore, when the first rotating body 53 and / or the second rotating body 54 is rotated, the magnetic unit 71 (magnetic body 70) and the position changing operation unit 72 are moved closer to each other and moved away in accordance with the rotating operation. When the magnetic body unit 71 and the position changing action portion 72 are brought closest to each other, the magnetic body 70 and the attracting member 78 are arranged in a state where they are arranged side by side along the extending direction of the first rotation shaft 58. (Refer FIG.7 (b) and FIG.8 (b).). For this reason, even if the magnetic body unit 71 and the position changing action part 72 are closest to each other, there is a possibility that the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating body 53 and the inner peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54 abut (slide). In addition, the rotating operation of the first rotating body 53 and the second rotating body 54 can be performed smoothly.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the first position changing operation portion 72a is closest to the first magnetic body unit 71a and is lined up horizontally, the magnetic force generated between the attracting member 78 acts and The magnetic body 70 of the one magnetic body unit 71a is attracted to the attracting member 78 of the first position changing action portion 72a, and is closer to the first position changing action portion 72a of the magnetic body storing portion 74 (leftward in FIG. 7B). Move to the no winning position 75b. Further, when the second position changing action portion 72b is closest to the second magnetic body unit 71b and is arranged side by side, a magnetic force generated between the suction member 78 acts and the magnetic body 70 of the second magnetic body unit 71b is moved. It is attracted to the attracting member 78 of the second position change action part 72b, and moves to the non-winning position 75b near the second position change action part 72b (rightward in FIG. 7B) of the magnetic material storage part 74.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the fourth position changing action portion 72d (or the third position changing action portion 72c) is closest to the first magnetic body unit 71a and is lined up horizontally, A magnetic force generated between them acts to attract the magnetic body 70 of the first magnetic body unit 71a to the attracting member 78 of the fourth position changing action portion 72d (or the attracting member 78 of the third position changing action portion 72c). It moves to the winning position 75a near the center line CL of the body storage section 74 (to the right in FIG. 8B). Further, when the third position changing action portion 72c (or the fourth position changing action portion 72d) is closest to the second magnetic body unit 71b and is lined up horizontally, the magnetic force generated between the second magnetic body unit 71b and the attracting member 78 acts. The magnetic body 70 of the second magnetic body unit 71b is attracted to the attracting member 78 of the third position changing action portion 72c (or the attracting member 78 of the fourth position changing action portion 72d), and is closer to the center line CL ( It moves to the winning possible position 75a in FIG. 8 (b).

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine having the above-described configuration, particularly the operation of guiding the game ball received in the variable winning device 4 by the guidance device 33 will be described. The first rotary motor 60 and the second rotary motor 65 are driven to rotate the first rotary body 53 so that the front portion of the outer peripheral surface (in other words, the general winning area 31 side) moves upward (FIGS. 4 to 6). (Rotation indicated by an arrow D in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6), in which the front part of the outer peripheral surface (the general winning area 31 side) moves downward. It is assumed that the rotation in the direction opposite to that of the first rotating body 53 is always performed. Further, it is assumed that the moving rotary motor is driven to rotate the screw shaft 44 repeatedly in the forward and reverse directions, and the moving winning portion 40 (specific winning area 32) is always reciprocated left and right within the moving range. In addition, the movable member 20 is converted to the first state (closed state), and the winning opening 36 of the general winning area 31 is converted to the closed state by the opening / closing member 38.

  A game ball launched by a launching device (not shown) is guided along the partition member 2 and reaches the upper part of the game area 3, and then flows down in the game area 3 while changing the direction by the obstacle nail or the windmill 8. To do. A predetermined prize ball is obtained when the game ball wins the general winning tool 7, the first start prize slot 5 and the second start prize slot 6, and when no game prize is won, the game ball Is recovered from the outlet 10.

  When the game ball wins the first start winning port 5 or the second start winning port 6, the pachinko gaming machine is based on the winning of the game ball (or the first start winning port 5 and the second start winning port). When the display device 22 performs variable display based on the winning of No. 6, an auxiliary game is performed (based on the fact that the variable display result is in a specific result mode). That is, a game ball winning at the start winning ports 5 and 6 becomes a condition for starting (generating) the auxiliary game, and the movable member 20 is converted from the first state to the second state (open state) based on the establishment of the starting condition. Execute auxiliary games. Specifically, when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 5, the movable member 20 is converted to the second state once for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds), and the game ball is changed to the second start winning opening 6. When winning a prize, the above-described conversion operation is performed twice.

  When the game ball is taken into the variable prize device 4 by the movable member 20 converted to the second state, the game ball flows down the introduction space 24 and the communication channel 26 as shown in FIG. And reaches the ball rolling part 30 of the inflow space part 25. Further, the ball rolling part 30 rolls backward and stops on the closed opening / closing member 38 of the general winning area 31, and contacts with the guiding device 33 in this stopped state. Contact the front side. At this time, when the magnetic body 70 on the first rotator 53 is located or approaches the rear of the game ball, the game sphere is attracted by the magnetic force of the magnetic body 70 and the second rotator 54. (See FIG. 9B). On the other hand, when the magnetic body 70 on the first rotator 53 does not pass behind the game ball, in other words, when the game sphere reaches a position deviated from the front of the magnetic body 70, the game sphere is moved to the second rotator 54. It remains on the opening / closing member 38 in the general winning area 31 without being attracted to the outer peripheral surface of the player. Then, after a predetermined time elapses after the movable member 20 is converted to the second state (for example, after 3 seconds have elapsed), the opening / closing member 38 is opened, the winning opening 36 is opened, and the parked game ball is won. It flows down to the opening 36 and the general winning flow path 37. Accordingly, the game balls that are not attracted by the guidance device 33 and are not guided to the specific winning area 32 are awarded to the general winning area 31, detected by the remaining ball sensor, and discharged below the variable winning apparatus 4.

  Then, the game balls that are attracted to the magnetic body 70 and disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54 rise along the outer peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54 while being attracted to the magnetic body 70. Furthermore, after reaching the upper part of the second rotating body 54, it moves backward along the outer peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54 while being attracted to the magnetic body 70 and in front of the moving range of the moving prize winning unit 40. To reach. In this way, the game ball is guided toward the specific winning area 32 by the guide device 33.

At this time, since the second rotating body 54 rotates in a state of moving downward on the front portion of the outer peripheral surface, the game ball moves while sliding on the surface of the second rotating body 54 against the movement ( The first rotation shaft 58 is rotated). Further, the magnetic body 70 (magnetic body ) in which the position changing action portion 72 and the attracting member 78 provided in the position changing action portion 72 are rotating (specifically, while revolving around the first rotation shaft 58). The side passes away from the unit 71), and the magnetic body 70 moves to the winning position 75a or moves to the winning position 75b along with the passage. Specifically, the first position changing operation portion 72a, the fourth position changing operation portion 72d, and the third position changing operation portion 72c are passed through either the left or right side of the first magnetic body unit 71a. And if the 1st position change action part 72a passes, the magnetic body 70 of the 1st magnetic body unit 71a will move to the winning impossible position 75b, and if the 3rd position change action part 72c or the 4th position change action part 72d passes. The magnetic body 70 of the first magnetic body unit 71a moves to the winning position 75a. Furthermore, the left and right sides of the second magnetic body unit 71b pass in the order of the fourth position changing action portion 72d, the second position changing action portion 72b, and the third position changing action portion 72c. And if the 2nd position change action part 72b passes, the magnetic body 70 of the 2nd magnetic body unit 71b will move to the prize winning position 75b, and if the 3rd position change action part 72c and the 4th position change action part 72d pass. Then, the magnetic body 70 of the second magnetic body unit 71b moves to the winning position 75a. Therefore, as the first rotating body 53 and the second rotating body 54 rotate, the game balls adsorbed by the attracting mechanism 55 (magnetic body 70) are moved to the rotating shafts (specifically, the first rotating body 53, 54 ) . 1 axis of rotation 58). Thereby, the behavior of the game ball guided to the specific winning area 32 can be changed in a complex manner, and the interest of the game can be enhanced. Further, the magnetic body 70 provided in the first rotating body 53 can be hidden by the second rotating body 54 so that the player can hardly grasp the position of the magnetic body 70. Therefore, it is possible to give the player the impression that the position of the magnetic body 70 is changing at random, and that the game ball is guided toward the specific winning area 32 while performing an unexpected action. , You can further enhance the fun of the game.

  Then, when the game ball is attracted by the magnetic body 70 arranged at the winning position 75a and the first rotating body 53 is continuously rotated and guided toward the specific winning area 32 in this state, the game ball is moved to the moving winning portion. It is allowed to enter the specific winning area 32 by approaching the front of the end of the 40 moving range. Specifically, the game ball attracted to the magnetic body 70 at the winning position 75a approaches the end of the moving range of the moving winning unit 40, and at this timing, the moving winning unit 40 (specifically, the specific winning area 32). Is placed (moved) immediately after the game ball, the game ball wins the specific winning area 32 and is detected by the specific winning sensor 41. At this time, when it is caught by a part (opening edge) of the specific winning sensor 41 and the first rotating body 53 further rotates in this state, the game ball is separated from the magnetic body 70 and the second rotating body 54, and the moving winning portion It flows down below 40 and is collected in the ball collection path 49. In addition, if the moving winning portion 40 (specifically, the specific winning area 32) is removed from immediately after the gaming ball when the gaming ball approaches the end of the moving range of the moving winning portion 40, this gaming ball will be Without winning a prize in the region 32, it passes by the side of the moving prize winning portion 40 and is caught by the front edge of the upstream opening 49 a of the ball collection path 49. When the first rotating body 53 further rotates in this state, the game ball is separated from the magnetic body 70 and the second rotating body 54 and is collected in the ball collecting path 49. On the other hand, when the game ball is attracted by the magnetic body 70 disposed at the non-winning position 75b and the first rotating body 53 is continuously rotated and guided toward the specific winning area 32 in this state, the game ball is moved to the moving winning portion. The player is restricted from approaching the side that is out of the range of movement of 40 and winning the specific winning area 32. Then, the game ball is caught by the front edge portion of the upstream opening 49a of the ball collection path 49, and when the first rotating body 53 further rotates in this state, the game ball is separated from the magnetic body 70 and the second rotating body 54, and the ball collection path 49 To be recovered. Therefore, the player can enjoy whether or not the game ball is won in the specific winning area 32 by looking at the position (behavior) of the game ball attracted to the magnetic body 70, and the game is improved. Can be further promoted.

  Further, with the rotating operation of the first rotating body 53 and the second rotating body 54, the attracting member 78 is passed to the side away from the magnetic body 70, and the magnetic force generated between the attracting member 78 and the magnetic body 70 is used. Since the storage position of the magnetic body 70 can be changed, the position of the magnetic body 70 can be changed with simple components, and the variable winning device 4 including the movable magnetic body 70, and thus the manufacture of a pachinko gaming machine. Cost can be reduced.

  Note that the game ball collected in the ball collection path 49 regardless of whether or not the specific winning area 32 has been won is detected by the remaining ball sensor 50. In the auxiliary game, the number of game balls detected by the remaining ball sensor of the general winning channel 37 and the remaining ball sensor 50 of the ball collecting channel 49 and the number of game balls detected by the winning ball detection sensor (count sensor) are calculated. Until it matches, that is, until it is confirmed that all the game balls won in the variable prize winning device 44 have been led out of the variable prize winning device 44, the pachinko gaming machine has each start prize opening sensor connected to each game ball (each start winning prize). Even if a winning ball to the mouths 5 and 6 is detected, no auxiliary game is performed.

  As a result of the auxiliary game performed in this way, when the game ball received in the variable prize apparatus 4 wins the specific prize area 32, the pachinko gaming machine is in a special gaming state (for the player, which is advantageous) A big hit state). In the special game, the pachinko gaming machine repeatedly performs the operation (opening operation) for converting the movable member 20 to the second state by starting the first round a plurality of times (up to 18 times), and in the variable winning device 4 The number of game balls taken in is counted by a winning ball detection sensor (count sensor). And, the condition of which one of the earlier conversion operations to the second state in the movable member 20 is completed or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls is introduced into the variable winning device 44, whichever is earlier When is established, the movable member 20 is converted to the first state, and the first round is completed. Thereafter, the movable member 20 is again converted to the second state and the second round is started.

  In this way, the opening / closing operation (conversion to the first state or the second state) of the movable member 20 is repeated to repeat the round a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times), and the movable member 20 is converted to the first state in the final round. When closed, the pachinko machine ends the special game and returns to the normal game.

  In the above embodiment, the second rotating body 54 is rotated together with the first rotating body 53, and the second rotating body 54 is rotated in the opposite direction to the first rotating body 53. However, the present invention is not limited to this. . In short, it is sufficient if the second rotating body 54 is rotated by a rotation operation different from that of the first rotating body 53 so that the attracting member 78 can be passed to the side of the magnetic body 70 moving toward the specific winning area 32. . Therefore, the first rotator 53 may be stopped or the second rotator 54 is in the same rotational direction as the first rotator 53 and has a different rotational speed (ie, the first rotator 53). It may be rotated at a lower rotational speed than that of the single rotating body 53 or at a higher rotational speed. Furthermore, the magnetic body 70 of the first magnetic body unit 71a and the magnetic body 70 of the second magnetic body unit 71b are configured to move to a winning position or move to an unwinning position at the same timing. The present invention is not limited to this, and the magnetic bodies 70 of the two magnetic body units 71 may move at different timings.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, while the adsorption | suction mechanism 55 was provided with the magnetic body unit 71 (magnetic body 70) in the 1st rotary body 53, and provided the position change action part 72 in the 2nd rotary body 54, this invention is The present invention is not limited to this, and the second rotating body 54 (specifically, the inner peripheral portion of the second rotating body 54) includes a magnetic unit 71 (magnetic body 70), and the first rotating body 53 (specifically, the first rotating body 53). The position changing operation portion 72 may be provided on the outer peripheral portion of the head . For example, in 2nd Embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the outer peripheral surface of the 2nd rotary body 54 is dented inside, and the horizontally long magnetic body accommodating part 74 is formed in the state along the extending direction of the 1st rotating shaft 58, One disk-shaped magnetic body (magnet) 70 is housed in the recess 75 formed in the magnetic body housing portion 74 to constitute a magnetic body unit 71. Further, a frame-shaped action storage portion 77 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating body 53 so as to protrude outward, and the iron disk-shaped adsorption member 78 is stored in the action storage portion 77 without swinging ( The position changing operation unit 72 is configured. The magnetic body unit 71 and the position changing operation unit 72 are provided to constitute the attracting mechanism 55, and the magnetic ball 70 is used to play a game ball on the ball rolling unit 30 (specifically, the ball rolling unit 30 flows down to the general prize). The game ball that has reached the region 31 is adsorbed and placed on the outer peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54, and in this arrangement state, the second rotating body 54 is rotated so that the front portion of the outer peripheral surface moves upward. Then, it is possible to guide the game ball toward the specific winning area 32. And the adsorption mechanism 55 of 2nd Embodiment compared with the adsorption | suction mechanism 55 of 1st Embodiment which provided the magnetic body 70 in the 1st rotary body 53, The game arrange | positioned on the outer peripheral surface of the 2nd rotary body 54 The sphere and the magnetic body 70 can be brought close to each other. Therefore, it is easy to attract the game ball to the magnetic body 70, and it is possible to suppress the inconvenience of dropping from the guidance device 33 while the game ball is being guided. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being discouraged by dropping the game ball, and to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game.

Also in the second embodiment, the second rotating body 54 is rotated by a rotation operation different from that of the first rotating body 53, and the attracting member 78 is placed on the side of the magnetic body 70 that moves toward the specific winning area 32. If it passes , the magnetic body 70 can be won by a magnetic force acting between the magnetic body 70 and the attracting member 78 during rotation (specifically, while revolving around the first rotation shaft 58). Alternatively, it is possible to move to the winning impossible position 75b. Therefore, it is possible to guide the game ball attracted by the magnetic body 70 toward the specific winning area 32 while moving in the left-right direction. The second rotating body 54 may be stopped and the attracting member 78 may be passed to the side of the magnetic body 70, or the second rotating body 54 may be in the same rotational direction as the first rotating body 53, and The attracting member 78 may be passed to the side of the magnetic body 70 by rotating at a rotational speed different from that of the single rotating body 53.

  Further, the adsorption member 78 of each of the embodiments described above may be made of a magnetic material (magnet) so that the game ball can be adsorbed to the adsorption member 78 by magnetic force. Then, the game balls on the ball rolling unit 30 (more specifically, the ball rolling unit 30 flows down and reaches the general winning area 31 by the magnetic body 70 of the magnetic unit 71 and the attracting member 78 of the position changing action unit 72. (Game ball) is adsorbed and arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54, and in this arrangement state, the first rotating body 53 and the second rotating body 54 rotate with the front portion of the outer peripheral surface moving upward. Then, the game ball may be guided toward the specific winning area 32. As described above, if the game ball can be attracted not only by the magnetic force of the magnetic body 70 of the magnetic body unit 71 but also by the magnetic force of the attracting member 78, the game ball can be attracted on the outer peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54. The number of points can be increased. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the opportunity to guide the game ball toward the specific winning area 32, and thus the opportunity to win the specific winning area 32, and to further enhance the interest of the game.

  By the way, in the said embodiment, although the position change action part 72 generate | occur | produced magnetic force between the magnetic bodies 70, it was comprised so that the magnetic body 70 might be attracted by this magnetic force and the accommodation position of the magnetic body 70 might be changed, The present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured such that the storage position of the magnetic body 70 can be changed by abutting the position changing operation portion on the magnetic body 70. For example, in the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the basic configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, but the position changing action portion is configured by the contact piece 84 that can contact the magnetic body 70. It is different in point.

  More specifically, the abutment piece 84 protrudes inward from the inner peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54, and the second rotation as viewed in the radial direction from the central axis side of the second rotating body 54. It is formed in a wedge shape with the tip directed in the rotation direction of the body 54 (see FIG. 11). Then, a portion of the contact piece 84 corresponding to the tip of the wedge is a rotating tip 85, and the contact surface 86 that can contact the magnetic body 70 in a state where the magnetic body 70 and the contact piece 84 are arranged on the left and right. Is set so as to gradually move closer to the magnetic body 70 as it goes from the rotation tip 85 in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the second rotating body 54. In the third embodiment, a plurality of contact pieces 84 on the inner peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54, specifically, the first contact pieces 84a and the second contact pieces that contact the magnetic body 70 of the first magnetic body unit 71a. The contact piece 84b includes a third contact piece 84c and a fourth contact piece 84d that contact the magnetic body 70 of the second magnetic body unit 71b. The magnetic body unit 71 sets the edge of the magnetic body storage portion 74 at a position where it does not interfere with the contact piece 84, and projects the magnetic body 70 outward from the edge to provide each contact. The piece 84 is configured to be able to contact the magnetic body 70 without interfering with the magnetic body storage portion 74.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, on the inner peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54, the position facing the prize-impossible position 75 b of the first magnetic unit 71 a (along the radial direction of both rotating bodies 53, 54). The first abutting piece 84a is disposed at a position where the first rotating piece 84a can be overlapped, and the first abutting piece 84a is near the non-winning position 75b of the first magnetic body unit 71a. It is configured to pass through the 54 side. Further, from the position facing the winning possible position 75a of the first magnetic body unit 71a (position where it can overlap along the radial direction of both rotating bodies 53, 54) and from the first rotating motor 65 side (left side in FIG. 11). The second contact piece 84b is arranged at a position shifted by about 90 degrees in the clockwise direction from the first contact piece 84a as viewed (see FIGS. 12A and 13A). The piece 84b is configured to be able to pass in the vicinity of the winning position 75a of the first magnetic body unit 71a, specifically, the second rotating body 54 side from the winning position 75a.

  Furthermore, from the position (position which can overlap along the radial direction of both the rotary bodies 53 and 54) which opposes the prize-winning position 75b of the 2nd magnetic body unit 71b, and the 1st rotation motor 65 side (left side in FIG. 11). The third contact piece 84c is arranged at a position shifted in phase by about 180 degrees clockwise from the first contact piece 84a as viewed, and this third contact piece 84c is a non-winning position 75b of the second magnetic body unit 71b. , Specifically, the second rotating body 54 side can be passed from the prize-winning position 75b. And from the position (position which can overlap along the radial direction of both the rotary bodies 53 and 54) facing the winning position 75a of the 2nd magnetic body unit 71b, and the 1st rotation motor 65 side (left side in FIG. 11). The fourth contact piece 84d is disposed at a position that is substantially 270 degrees out of phase in the clockwise direction from the first contact piece 84a as viewed, and this fourth contact piece 84d is a winning possible position 75a of the second magnetic unit 71b. , More specifically, the second rotating body 54 side can be passed from the winning position 75a.

  The contact piece (position changing operation part) 84 having such a configuration is provided, and the first rotary motor 60 and the second rotary motor 65 are driven to place the first rotary body 53 on the front portion of the outer peripheral surface (in other words, a general prize). When the second rotating body 54 is rotated in a state where the front side portion of the outer peripheral surface (the general winning area 31 side) is moved downward and the second rotating body 54 is rotated in a state in which the region 31 side is moved upward, the magnetic force accompanies this rotation. The distance between the body 70 and the contact piece 84 can be varied, and the contact piece 84 can be passed to the side of the magnetic body 70. Then, when the first contact piece 84a passes the side of the magnetic body 70 disposed at the non-winning position 75b, the contact surface 86 of the first contact piece 84a is magnetic as shown in FIG. The body 70 is pressed and moved to the winning position 75a by this pressing force. When the second contact piece 84b passes the side of the magnetic body 70 disposed at the winning position 75a, the contact surface 86 of the second contact piece 84b is magnetic as shown in FIG. 13B. The body 70 is pressed and moved to the winning position 75a by this pressing force. Further, when the third contact piece 84c passes the side of the magnetic body 70 disposed at the non-winning position 75b, the contact surface 86 of the third contact piece 84c presses the magnetic body 70, and this pressing force causes Move to winning position 75a. Further, when the fourth contact piece 84d passes the side of the magnetic body 70 disposed at the winning position 75a, the contact surface 86 of the fourth contact piece 84d presses the magnetic body 70, and this pressing force causes Move to winning position 75a. In this way, even with the position changing operation unit configured by the contact piece 84, the storage position of the magnetic body 70 can be changed to the winning position 75a and the winning impossible position 75b. Therefore, the position of the magnetic body 70 can be changed regardless of the strength of the magnetic force of the magnetic body 70. Moreover, the weight of the 2nd rotary body 54 can be suppressed, the load of the 2nd rotary motor 65 can be reduced, and the 2nd rotary body 54 can be rotated smoothly.

  As shown in FIG. 14, two contact pieces 84 are provided in a state of being arranged along the rotation direction on the inner peripheral surface of the second rotating body 54, and the rotation tips 85 of the contact pieces 84 are opposite to each other. If the posture is set in the direction, the magnetic body 70 is pressed to move to the winning possible position 75a or to the winning impossible position 75b even if the second rotating body 54 is rotated forward or backward. This is preferable.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although two magnetic body units and four position change action parts were provided, this invention is not limited to this. If there is a magnetic unit that attracts the game ball by magnetic force and a position changing action unit that can change the magnetic body of the magnetic unit to a winning position and a non-winning position, the number and position of the magnetic units can be changed. Any number of action parts may be set.
