Description

  The present invention includes a variation display device having a display unit capable of displaying a variation display game, and a start winning opening that is disposed below the variation display device and is associated with starting the variation display game. The present invention also relates to a gaming machine in which a game ball can roll and a rolling portion in which the rolled game ball can flow down on the start winning opening.

Conventionally, as a gaming machine provided with a variable display device having a display unit for displaying a variable display game with a plurality of symbols, and generating a special gaming state advantageous to the player based on the result of the variable display game, For example, a pachinko gaming machine is known.
In recent years, many of the variable display devices are provided with a liquid crystal display so that various displays can be performed.
The variable display device has a display opening corresponding to the surface of the game board, has a recessed chamber shape recessed backward from the display opening, and the display is arranged on the back side. It is configured. A rolling part (stage) on which the game ball can roll is formed on the lower surface of the concave chamber portion. When the game ball enters the concave chamber, the rolling part rolls on the rolling part. After that, it is configured to flow down again from the front end of the rolling part to the game area and drop to the upper part of the start winning opening disposed below the rolling area. Therefore, the rolling mode of the game ball in the rolling unit greatly affects whether or not the winning prize opening is subsequently won, and the rolling mode of the game ball in the rolling unit is the player's interest. It is supposed to pull.

In addition, when the variable display device is provided with a liquid crystal display or the like as described above, the variable display device becomes large, so that the game ball launched into the game area above the variable display device is A warp device that accepts game balls flowing down the upper and side game areas of the variable display device and introduces them into the rolling unit so as to be efficiently collected around the start winning opening arranged at the lower portion of the variable display device More and more variable display devices are provided.
Further, in order to further diversify the rolling mode at the rolling part, it has been considered that the rolling part is provided with a movable member that is operated by an electric drive source. Furthermore, the movable member is provided with a screw-shaped ball guiding member that is rotated by the operation of a motor, and the game ball is guided to the center of the rolling part by the rotating operation of the ball guiding member, thereby winning the start winning opening. A gaming machine in which the rate is increased is also considered (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP-A-4-341289 (page 8 FIG. 13)

However, in the case of the above conventional gaming machine, by providing the ball guiding member, the rolling mode of the gaming ball is roughly divided into a mode when guided by the ball guiding member and a mode when not guided. In other words, there is a problem that the diversification of the rolling mode at the rolling section is reduced.
In addition, when the game ball reaches the rolling part, the start winning rate will increase as long as the game ball is guided by the ball guide member. Therefore, the player can determine whether or not the game ball is guided to the ball guide member. It was not enough to improve interest.
That is, when the game ball comes into contact with the ball guide member, it is almost determined whether or not the game ball is guided to the ball guide member, and the start winning rate is almost determined depending on whether or not it is guided. When the game ball is started to be guided to the ball guide member, the person's interest in the movement of the game ball guided by the ball guide member is reduced, and the game ball guided and moved by the ball guide member is reduced. There is a high possibility of not being seen. Therefore, it has been fully realized that the player's interest is enhanced by showing the player the movement of the game ball that is guided by the ball guide member and cannot be seen by other game machines. Absent.

  An object of the present invention is to use a rotating member for introducing and deriving a game ball that has flowed into a rolling part, and when the game ball introduced to the rotating member is derived from the rotating member, the start winning rate differs depending on the deriving mode. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can distribute gaming balls to a plurality of routes and improve the interest from introduction to derivation of gaming balls to a rotating member.

In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 is a variation display device having a display unit provided on a game board forming a game area and capable of displaying a variation display game with a plurality of symbols, and the variation display. A winning winning opening disposed in a gaming area below the apparatus and capable of giving a starting condition for the variable display game based on a winning of a game ball, and the variable display device has a gaming ball on the front side of the display unit In the gaming machine in which the rolling game ball forms a rolling part that can flow down at the upper part of the start winning opening,
The rolling member is formed in a cylindrical shape in the rolling part so that a space into which a game ball can flow is formed, and the diameter is gradually increased from both left and right end parts toward the central part. Is attached to the rotating shaft set in the left-right direction,
The rotating member is
A ball introduction port that is formed on either end side in the left-right direction of the rotating member and introduces a game ball that rolls on the rolling portion;
A plurality of ball outlets formed so as to be capable of deriving internal game balls and different winning rates for the derived game balls to be awarded to the start winning port;
With
The plurality of sphere outlets are formed at a first sphere outlet opening formed at a central portion of the rotating member and at an end side of the first sphere outlet opening, and are derived from the first sphere outlet opening. A second ball outlet that is set so that a winning rate of the game ball derived from the played game ball to the start winning port is lower, and the second ball outlet is The first sphere outlet is formed with a predetermined interval in the rotation direction,
The rotation of the rotating member distributes the game balls introduced into the rotating member to one of the first and second ball outlets to be derived. .
Here, the “gaming machine” is, for example, a pachinko gaming machine provided with a variable display device, but may be a gaming machine other than a pachinko gaming machine as long as it is a gaming machine provided with a variable display device.
Further, the variable display game is a variable display of a plurality of identification symbols (identification information) in a plurality of areas (for example, three areas on the left, middle, and right) of the display unit provided in the display device body of the variable display device. Then, when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variable display game, the variable display in each display area is stopped in a predetermined order, and each predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed to derive a display result.

In addition, the “variable display device” includes various displays such as a liquid crystal display device, a CRT (cathode ray tube) display device, an EL display device, a display device in which light emitting elements are arranged, a mechanical display device using a rotating drum, and the like. However, it is sufficient that the identification information can be variably displayed on the display unit. Further, the variable display device includes various members arranged around the display unit, and may include a rolling unit and a so-called warp device.
The display section is a portion where the variable display game is actually displayed on the display device main body, and is a portion where the identification information is exposed to the player on the display screen of the display or the mechanical display device. .

  Further, the rolling part is, for example, when the variable display device has a concave chamber in a state of being recessed backward with respect to the front surface of the game board, and there is a display unit on the back side of the concave chamber. This is a so-called stage formed on the front side of the display unit and on the inner surface of the lower side of the concave chamber. Then, the game ball that has entered the concave chamber rolls over the rolling part that becomes the stage, and then comes out of the concave chamber and flows downward from the game area variation display device.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the game ball is introduced into the inside of the rotating member, and an unprecedented flow down mode (rolling mode) of the game ball can be formed, which can improve the interest. it can. That is, in the rotating member, the game ball rolls in the rotating member and is led out of the rotating member based on the downward force when flowing into the rotating member and the rotation of the rotating member. Thus, a variety of rolling modes are taken for each game ball flowing into the rotating member, and the interest of the player who is watching can be improved.
In addition, even when a game ball is introduced into the rotating member, the start winning rate changes according to the ball outlet port from which the game ball is derived, so whether or not the player's interest is introduced to the rotating member. The player's interest can be attracted not only to the mode of introducing the game ball to the rotating member but also to the mode of derivation, and the interest can be improved.
In addition, since the first sphere outlet is in the center of the rotating member and the second sphere outlet is closer to the end than the first sphere outlet, the first sphere outlet and the left and right positions are different from each other. The start winning rate of the game ball derived from each of the second ball outlets can be varied reliably and efficiently.

In addition, the game ball that flows in from the ball inlet on the end side of the rotating member that is configured in a cylindrical shape and gradually increases in diameter from the both ends in the left-right direction toward the center portion is rotated by the rotation of the rotating member. Along with this, it rolls along the rotation direction (circumferential direction) of the rotating member, and also rolls left and right due to the inclination of the inner surface based on the change in the diameter of the rotating member. When the first ball outlet opening at the center of the rotating member is directed downward when the first ball outlet opening at the center of the rotating member is directed downward, Derived from the ball outlet. On the other hand, when the second ball outlet port formed on the end side of the rotating member from the first ball outlet port faces downward, the game ball is positioned on the end side from the first ball outlet port of the rotating member. When it reaches the second sphere outlet, it is derived from the second sphere outlet. Therefore, the game balls can be reliably distributed to the case of being derived from the first ball outlet and the case of being derived from the second ball outlet.

Note that the exposed portion of the game ball flow path 232 may be made of, for example, a transparent or translucent synthetic resin, and the game ball 11 in the game ball flow path 232 may be visible.
In addition, the game ball 11 that has flowed out from the outlet 233 of the warp device 23 reaches the left end of the rolling part 22. As will be described later, the rotating member 30 provided in the rolling portion 22 has a sphere inlet 31 formed at the right end thereof, and the outlet 233 of the warp device 23 is opposite to the sphere inlet 31. The rotating member 30 is disposed on the end side.

  The rolling part 22 is formed in the lower part of the front structural member 20, and as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, in the rolling part 22, the rotation axis direction is set in the left-right direction, and the game ball 11 is inside. The rotary member 30 has a space in which the air can flow. In addition, the rolling part 22 has a rear rolling part 40 formed on the rear side of the rotating member 30 and a front rolling part 50 formed on the front side of the rotating member 30, with the rotary member 30 sandwiched between the front and rear. Basically, the game ball 11 that has flowed out of the outlet 233 of the warp device 23 is introduced into the rotary member 30 from the rear rolling part 40, and the game ball 11 inside the rotary member 30 is moved forward. 50 is derived. In addition, the rolling part 22 is provided with a communication channel 60 that receives the game ball 11 that has flowed out from the outlet 233 of the warp device 23 and flows down to the rear rolling part 40.

The rotating member 30 is sandwiched between the front rolling part 50 and the rear rolling part 40 and is exposed to the front side (player side), that is, from the side of the fluctuation display device 4 or from below. A portion where the game ball 11 may hit when the game ball 11 enters the concave chamber 21 is covered with a cover member 70 made of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin. It is protected from the game ball 11 that repels the ball and enters the concave chamber 21. The cover member 70 is shown in FIG. 2 and omitted in other drawings.
Further, a part of the front rolling part 50 (a part of a guide rolling part 52 described later) is arranged not at the front of the rotating member 30 but at a position overlapping with the rotating member 30 in the vertical direction.

  The rotating member 30 is formed of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin so as to be formed in a cylindrical shape and have a diameter that gradually increases from both ends in the left-right direction toward the center. That is, as shown in FIGS. 6 (A) and 7 (B), the rotating member 30 has a shape in which the bottoms are connected to each other with two truncated cones coaxially arranged upside down. Then, both end portions of the cylindrical rotating member 30 are in a closed state, and a shaft portion 34 having a shaft 341 serving as a rotating shaft of the rotating member 30 is formed. The shaft portion 34 is in a state in which the base portion 342 is embedded in the end portion of the main body of the rotating member 30, and the base portion 342 includes a retaining disc 343 disposed coaxially with the shaft 341, and The connecting portion 344 that is arranged coaxially with the shaft 341 and that penetrates the disc portion 343 is integrally configured, and the shaft 341 having a smaller diameter than the connecting portion 344 is a center line of the connecting portion 344. It is in a state of extending along the extension line.

A part of the connection part 344 is also exposed from the end of the main body of the rotating member 30, and caps 345 and 346 are fitted in the exposed part of the connection part 344. The caps 345 and 346 are substantially disk-shaped, and have a through hole that allows the shaft 341 to pass therethrough and a recess that fits in an exposed portion of the connection portion 344 so as not to rotate. The right cap 346 among the caps 345 and 346 respectively attached to the left and right ends of the rotating member 30 is a driven gear arranged coaxially with the shaft 341, and will be described later with an electric motor 36 (FIG. 2). And a part of a transmission portion 37 (shown in FIG. 4 and the like) that transmits the rotational force of the rotary member 30 to the rotary member 30.
The shafts 341 and 341 exposed from the caps 345 and 346 are rotatably supported by bearing portions 26 and 27 formed at both left and right end portions of the lower part of the front structural member 20, as shown in FIG. Thus, the rotating member 30 can be rotated along the rotation axis direction in the left-right direction of the pachinko gaming machine 100.

  In addition, one of the left and right bearing portions 26, 27 is a motor mounting member for mounting the electric motor 36 (electric drive source) on the outer side (right side) of the bearing portion 27 (right bearing portion 27). 361 is provided. A transmission unit 37 that transmits a rotational force from the electric motor 36 to the rotating member 30 is provided inside the motor mounting member 361. The transmission unit 37 is a gear mechanism that transmits rotational motion from the electric motor 36 to the rotating member 30 using a gear, and transmits the rotational speed of the electric motor 36 to the rotating member 30 by changing the rotational speed. . In this example, the rotation speed of the rotating member 30 is, for example, 30 rotations per minute. The rotation direction of the rotation member 30 is a rotation direction in which the upper side of the rotation member 30 moves from the rear side to the front side, and the rotation direction when the rotation member 30 is viewed from the left side is clockwise. .

Moreover, the main body of the rotating member 30 has a structure that is divided into two divided portions 301 and 301 at the portion indicated by the arrow AA in FIG.
And the fitting recessed part 302 which has the shape which divided | segmented the base 342 of the axial part 34 in half by the plane along an axial direction is formed in the right-and-left both ends of each division part 301,301. That is, the fitting recess 302 includes a semi-disc-like recess that is obtained by halving a disc corresponding to the disc portion 343 of the base portion 342 and a groove corresponding to the connection portion 344 formed so as to pass through the center thereof. Become.
Further, fitting portions 303 and 304 for joining the divided portions 301 and 301 to each other are formed in a portion adjacent to the center side of the fitting concave portion 302 of each divided portion 301 and 301, and FIG. ), The fitting portion 303 of one split portion 301 is formed with a recess 305 that accommodates the screw head and an insertion hole 306 through which the screw screw shaft is inserted. A boss 307 having a screw hole that is screwed into a screw shaft inserted through the insertion hole of the fitting portion 303 is formed in the joint portion 304. The fitting portions 303 and 304 are fitted to each other and screwed, so that the divided portions 301 and 301 are joined to each other.

  Further, the rotating member 30 derives the ball introduction port 31 for introducing the game ball 11 rolling inside the rolling part 22 (rear rolling part 40) and the game ball 11 introduced into the rotary member 30. A plurality of ball outlets (the first ball outlet 32 and the first ball outlet 32) that are formed so as to be different from each other in the start winning rate (winning rate) at which the derived game ball 11 wins the start winning port 91. A second ball outlet 33). Then, the rotation of the rotating member 30 distributes the game balls 11 introduced into the rotating member 30 to a plurality of ball outlets (first ball outlets 32, 32 and second ball outlets 33,...). To be derived.

The ball introduction port 31 is formed on one end side of the rotating member 30 in the left-right direction (the same as the left-right direction of the pachinko gaming machine 100). In this example, the ball introduction port 31 has a substantially central portion in the left-right direction of one half (here, the right half) when the rotating member 30 is divided into left and right halves, or slightly on the end side ( It is formed in a portion of about 2/5 from the left and right halves of the rotating member.
Further, the sphere introduction port 31 has a larger diameter than the first sphere lead-out ports 32 and 32 and the second sphere lead-out port 33..., And the sphere introduction port 31 extends in the axial direction of the rotating member 30. The diameter along the rotation direction (circumferential direction) of the rotary member 30 is formed in a substantially elliptical shape in which the diameter is longer than the diameter along. The diameters of the first ball outlets 32 and 32 and the second ball outlet 33 are larger than the diameter of the game ball 11, and the diameter of the ball inlet 31 is the first ball outlets 32 and 32. The diameter of the second ball outlet 33 is larger.

In addition, the game ball 11 that is rolled and introduced from the rolling portion 22 (rear rolling portion 40) to the rear portion in the rotation direction of the rotating member 30 around the ball introducing port 31 of the rotating member 30. In response, an arc-shaped rib 311 that assists the introduction of the game ball 11 from the rolling portion 22 into the rotating member 30 is formed so as to protrude toward the outside of the rotating member 30. Thereby, the game ball 11 can be more reliably introduced from the rear rolling part 40 into the rotating member 30 through the ball introducing port 31 of the rotating member 30.
In addition, a blocking wall 309 that closes the end of the rotating member 30 inside the cylindrical rotating member 30 is provided inside the rotating member 30 on the end side (right end side) from the ball inlet 31. Thus, the game ball 11 cannot move to the right side from the ball introduction port 31. Further, a surrounding rib 312 is formed on the inner surface of the rotating member 30 so as to surround the sphere introduction port 31 around the sphere introduction port 31 together with the blocking wall 309.
The surrounding rib 312 protrudes toward the inside of the rotating member 30 and is disposed in a state where both ends are connected to the blocking wall 309, and the ball introduction port 31 is disposed between the blocking wall 309 and the surrounding rib 312. In addition, most of the surrounding rib 312 is disposed along the periphery of the ball introduction port 31 on the inner surface of the rotating member 30. The surrounding rib 312 is for preventing the game ball 11 introduced into the rotating member 30 from the ball introducing port 31 from passing through the ball introducing port 31 to the outside of the rotating member 30.

  As described later, the game ball 11 is caused to flow down almost directly above the portion that becomes the start winning port 91 of the normal variation winning device 9, as will be described later, to the start winning port 91 of the derived game ball 11. The first ball outlets 32 and 32 are made to flow down to a position shifted to the left and right from directly above the start winning port 91 and the first ball outlets 32 and 32 where the winning rate of the player is extremely increased. Further, there are second ball outlets 33,... In which the winning rate to the start winning port 91 is lowered.

The first ball outlets 32 and 32 are formed in the central portion of the rotating member 30 configured so that the diameter gradually increases from both the left and right end portions toward the central portion. The first sphere outlets 32 and 32 are formed at a predetermined interval in the rotational direction (circumferential direction). Here, the two first sphere outlets 32 and 32 are in the rotational direction. The rotation members 30 are arranged with an interval corresponding to the rotation of 180 degrees. That is, the two first ball outlets 32 and 32 are formed in opposite directions on the outer periphery of the central portion of the rotating member 30.
Further, when the first ball outlets 32 and 32 face downward, the lead-out position where the game ball 11 is led out from the first ball outlets 32 and 32 of the rotating member 30 (by rotation of the rotating member 30 or the like). The first sphere outlets 32 and 32 may be slightly deviated from the position where the first sphere outlets 32 and 32 face downward.) At this time, the first sphere outlets 32 and 32 of the rotating member 30 are This is the lowest position of the rotating member 30. Therefore, when the first ball outlets 32 and 32 of the rotating member 30 face downward, the first ball outlets 32 and 32 are caused by the inclination of the inner surface of the game ball 11 corresponding to the outer shape of the rotating member 30. The game ball 11 is easily led out from the first ball lead-out ports 32, 32. Note that the main body portion of the rotating member 30 is made of members having substantially the same thickness, and the shape formed by the inner surface of the rotating member 30 is substantially similar to the shape formed by the outer surface of the rotating member 30.

  The second sphere outlets 33,... Are formed at a predetermined interval in the rotational direction of the rotary member 30 from the first sphere outlets 32, 32. For example, here, each of the first sphere outlets 33,. The rotation members 30 are arranged at intervals of 90 degrees in the rotation direction from the outlets 32 and 32. As will be described later, the second ball outlets 33,... Are arranged at two positions on the left and right at the same rotational position of the rotary member 30, and 90 degrees in the rotational direction from the first ball outlets 32, 32. By providing the second sphere outlets 33,... At intervals, four second sphere outlets 33,... Are formed. The two second sphere outlets 32,... Are arranged with an interval corresponding to the rotation member 30 rotating 180 degrees in the rotation direction. Accordingly, the first sphere outlet 32, 32 and the second sphere outlet 33,... Are alternately arranged at equal intervals (every 90 degrees) in the rotation direction of the rotating member.

Further, the second sphere outlets 33,... Are formed closer to the end of the rotating member 30 than the first sphere outlets 32, 32, and the first sphere outlets 32, 32 of the rotating member 30 are formed. Are formed on the left and right sides of the central portion where the is formed. Further, the left and right second sphere outlets 33,... Are arranged at equal distances from the central portion of the rotating member 30, and are outside the first sphere outlets 32, 32. It is inside from the position of.
In addition, the portion between the left and right second ball outlets 33,... Of the rotating member 30 is rotated so that the cylindrical member constituting the main body of the rotating member 30 protrudes in an inwardly curved state. A recessed portion 38 (becomes a bulging portion 39 inside the rotating member 30) is formed on the outside of the member 30.

The hollow portion 38 is in a state of being curved and recessed such that the center portion of the line segment connecting the left and right second ball outlets 33 and 33 is in the most recessed state. Correspondingly, the bulging portion 39 on the inner side of the rotating member 30 is curved and swollen so that the center portion of the line segment connecting the left and right second ball outlets 33, 33 is in the most inward state. It is in a state. In this example, since there are two pairs of left and right second ball outlets 33, 33, the recess 38 (the bulging portion 39) rotates the rotating member 30 by 180 degrees in the rotation direction of the rotating member 30. Two are formed at intervals.
When the second ball lead-out port 33,... Faces down, the lead-out position from which the game ball 11 is led out from the second ball lead-out port 33,. It is highly possible that the ball outlets 33,... Are slightly deviated from the positions facing downward). At this time, the left and right second ball outlets 33,. ... Are indented (inflated inward), and the second ball outlet port 33 of the rotating member 30 is the lowest position of the rotating member 30. Accordingly, when the second ball outlets 33,... Of the rotating member 30 face downward, the game balls 11 are inclined by the inner surface corresponding to the outer shape of the rotating member 30, so that the second ball outlets 33,. The game ball is easily led out from the second ball lead-out port 33,.

  That is, in the outer shape of the rotating member 30 having the largest diameter at the center, the game ball 11 is easily derived from the first ball outlets 32 and 32 in the center, and the first ball outlets 32 and 32 The two ball outlets 33 and 33 are less likely to lead out the game ball 11. Therefore, by forming the depression 38 (the bulging portion 39) described above, the game ball 11 can be easily led out from the second ball outlet 33,... In the distribution ratio of the game balls 11 to the first ball outlet 32, 32 and the second ball outlet 33,... Having different winning rates, the allocation ratio to the first ball outlet 32, 32 is extremely high. Prevents it from becoming high.

Further, on the inner surface of the cylindrical rotating member 30, the inner periphery of the rotating member 30 is made a round on each of the left side and the right side, and two second ball outlets 33,. Steps 331 and 332 are formed. Each step 331, 332 is a step in which the second sphere outlet 33,... Side is lowered in a state where the second sphere outlet 33,.
A step 332 passing through the side edge on the center side of the rotating member 30 of the second sphere outlet 33,... (For example, the right second sphere outlet 33) is a rotation of the first sphere outlet 32, 32. By bending inward so as to pass through the side edge on the end (right end) side of the member 30, and then bending outward so as to pass through the side edge on the center side of the next second ball outlet port 33. It is formed in an annular shape so as to go around the inner circumference while curving in a zigzag manner from side to side. Further, the step 331 passing through the side edge on the end portion side of the rotating member 30 of the second ball outlet 33,... Passes through the end (right end) side from the above step 332, and the step 332 on the center side. It is formed in an annular shape so as to go around the inner circumference while bending in a zigzag manner in substantially the same manner as the step 332 along. Further, the two steps formed on the right half of the rotating member 30 and the two steps formed on the left half are formed so as to be objects with respect to each other with the central portion of the rotating member 30 interposed therebetween.

  The step 331 and 332 and the two bulging portions 39, 39 allow the game ball 11 that rolls in the rotating member 30 in response to the rotation of the rotating member 30 to the second ball outlet port 33,. Is leading to. As a result, as described above, in the distribution ratio of the game balls 11 to the first ball outlets 32, 32 and the second ball outlets 33,. The distribution rate to the outlets 33,... Is increased. It should be noted that either the allocation ratio of the game balls 11 to the first ball outlets 32, 32 or the allocation ratio of the game balls 11 to the second ball outlets 33,... The distribution rate can be changed by changing the size of the steps 331 and 332, the shape of the bulging portions 39 and 39, the overall shape of the inner surface of the rotating member 30, and the like.

  The communication channel 60 is, for example, on the end (left end) side of the rotating member 30 opposite to the ball introduction port 31 of the rotating member 30 formed on the right side of the rotating member 30 and on the front side of the rolling portion 22. Receiving the game ball 11 that has flowed out from the outlet 233 of the warp device 23 (on the front rolling unit 50 side), the received game ball 11 is caused to flow backward, and the rear rolling of the rear part of the rolling unit 22 It is guided to the left end of the portion 40. The communication channel 60 has a bottom wall portion 61 and left and right side wall portions 62, 62 and has a substantially bowl-like shape. However, the connection channel 60 is repeatedly curved in an arc shape to the left and right, that is, repeatedly bent to the left and right. The game ball 11 is guided. As a result, the speed of the game ball 11 that has flowed out of the outlet 233 through the game ball flow path 232 of the warp device 23 is reduced and led out to the rear rolling unit 40. Further, the bottom wall portion 61 is inclined downward from the front side in the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine 100 toward the rear side.

  Further, the left and right side wall portions 62, 62 are joined at the front end portion and the rear end portion of the communication channel 60, respectively, and the game ball 11 is exposed to the outside from the front end and the rear end of the communication channel 60. It prevents it from flowing down. An opening 63 is formed at the rear end portion of the bottom wall portion 61, and the opening 63 is formed so as to face one end portion (left end portion) of the rear rolling portion 40. That is, the communication channel 60 is arranged so that the portion of the opening 63 formed in the bottom wall portion 61 overlaps the left end portion of the rear rolling portion 40 in the front-rear direction. Thereby, the game ball 11 that has moved from the front part of the rolling part 22 to the rear part along the inclination of the bottom wall part 61 of the communication channel 60 is moved to the rear end part of the bottom wall part 61. It falls downward from the opening 63 and reaches the left end of the rear rolling part 40.

The rear rolling part 40 is disposed so as to extend to the left and right behind the rotating member 30 of the rolling part 22, and the outlet 233 of the warp device 23 is disposed on one end (left end) side of the rolling part 22. The game ball 11 that has flowed out of the rotary member 30 is guided toward the ball inlet 31 formed on the other end (right end) side of the rotating member 30. That is, the rear rolling unit 40 receives the game ball 11 that has flowed out of the warp device 23 via the communication channel 60, and receives the received game ball 11 at the rear of the rolling unit 22 at one end of the rolling unit 22. It flows down from the part side to the other end part side and is guided to the ball introduction port 31 of the rotating member 30.
The rear rolling unit 40 includes a rear channel 41 extending from the bottom of the rear end of the communication channel 60 to the right before the ball introduction port 31 of the rotating member 30, and a ball of the rear channel 41. An introduction standby portion 42 provided to face the ball introduction port 31 is provided at the end on the introduction port 31 side.

  The rear flow path 41 of the rear rolling part 40 includes a bottom wall part 43 inclined downward from one end part (left end part) toward the other end part (right end part), and left and right side edges of the bottom wall part 43. It is formed in a bowl shape by the side wall portion 44 standing upright. The introduction standby part 42 is a bottom part that is continuous with the bottom part 45 inclined downward from the rear to the front, that is, the bottom part 45 inclined downward toward the rotating member 30 and the side wall part 44 on the rear side of the rear channel 41. A rear wall portion 46 formed at the rear edge portion of the bottom portion 45 and a right wall portion 47 formed at a side edge portion (right side edge portion) opposite to the rear channel 41 of the bottom portion 45. The front side, that is, the rotating member 30 side, and the left side, that is, the rear channel 41 side are in an open state. It should be noted that the game ball 11 staying on the bottom 45 (introduction waiting portion 42) is prevented from flowing down to the front side by the rotation member 30 on the rotating member 30 side of the bottom 45. When the rotation member 30 rotates and the ball introduction port 31 of the rotation member 30 reaches the front side of the introduction standby portion 42, the game ball 11 on the introduction standby portion 42 is tilted by the inclination of the bottom 45. The ball flows down into the rotating member 30 through the ball inlet 31. Further, the left side of the introduction standby part 42 is connected to the rear channel 41 so that the game ball 11 flowing down on the rear channel 41 reaches the introduction standby part 42. A step where the bottom wall portion 43 is higher than the bottom portion 45 is formed at a portion where the bottom wall portion 43 of the rear channel 41 and the bottom portion 45 of the introduction standby portion 42 are joined, and stays in the introduction standby portion 42. The game ball 11 is prevented from returning to the rear channel 41 side.

  In addition, the introduction standby unit 42 has an area where a plurality of game balls 11 can stand by, and the ball introduction port 31 of the rotating member 30 is installed in the introduction standby unit in a state where the plurality of game balls 11 are waiting on the introduction standby unit 42. A plurality of game balls 11 waiting in the introduction standby section 42 at a time can be introduced into the rotating member 30 when the arrangement faces the 42. Accordingly, only one ball inlet 31 is formed in the rotating member 30, but when the rotating member 30 makes one rotation, the number of game balls 11 that can be introduced into the rotating member 30 is not necessarily one. Instead, a plurality of game balls 11 may be introduced.

The front rolling part 50 is formed by being divided into upper and lower stages, and the upper stage of the front rolling part 50 is inclined downward toward the center in the left-right direction and is inclined downward toward the front side, and the front side of the rotating member 30. Is a tilt rolling part 51 that enables the game ball to roll.
Further, the lower part of the front rolling section 50 is formed from a first guide groove 521 for guiding the game ball 11 led out from the first ball lead-out ports 32, 32, and the second ball lead-out ports 33,. The guide rolling part 52 has a second guide groove 522 that guides the game ball 11 to be flowed down.

  The inclined rolling part 51 is formed on the front side of the rotating member 30 of the rolling part 22, and is formed adjacent to the central inclined part 511 formed at the central part in the left-right direction and the left and right lateral sides of the central inclined part 511. Left and right side inclined portions 512 and 512. The left side inclined portion 512 has an upper surface inclined downward toward the right, and guides the game ball 11 on the left side inclined portion 512 toward the central inclined portion 511. The upper side of the right side inclined portion 512 is inclined downward toward the left, and guides the game ball 11 on the right side inclined portion 512 toward the central inclined portion 511. The central inclined portion 511 is formed in a substantially circular arc plate shape that is concave upward so that the center is the lowest, and is inclined downward from the left and right ends toward the center, and slightly from the rear to the front. The game ball 11 is guided downward to the lowest central portion, and is guided to the front side of the inclined rolling portion 51 so that the game ball 11 is moved from the inclined rolling portion 51 to the lower game area of the variation display device 4. It is made to fall to 1a.

Further, the start winning port 91 of the normal variation winning device 9 is arranged at the center in the left-right direction of the inclined rolling portion 51, that is, directly below the center in the left-right direction of the central inclined portion 511. When flowing down almost straight from the center of the game, the winning rate to the start winning opening 91 becomes extremely high. Usually, however, the game ball is obliquely forward along the horizontal inclination of the inclined rolling part 51. 11 flows down, the winning rate to the start winning port 91 does not become extremely high, and the winning rate is slightly higher than the gaming ball 11 that has flowed down without rolling the rolling part 22. .
Note that not the game ball 11 that has passed through the warp device 23 but the game ball 11 that has hit the obstacle nail or the like and repelled from the left or right of the fluctuation display device 4 enters the inclined rolling part 51. . Further, after the inclined rolling portion 51, the cover member 70 that covers the rotating member 30 is disposed at a position higher than the inclined rolling portion 51, and the game ball 11 that repels as described above is behind the rotating member 30. Entry into the rear rolling part 40 is suppressed.

A first guide groove 521 is formed in the center of the guide rolling portion 52 along the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine 100. The rear portion of the first guide groove 521 is disposed at a position overlapping with the central portion in the left-right direction of the rotating member 30 and is formed so as to incline downward from the rear toward the front. The game ball 11 led out from the first ball lead-out ports 32, 32 of the part is guided straightly along the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine 100.
Further, the left and right sides of the first guide groove 521 of the guide rolling part 52 are spaced apart from the first guide groove 521 by the same distance, and the second guide groove substantially along the longitudinal direction of the pachinko gaming machine 100. 522 is formed. The rear portion of the left second guide groove 522 is disposed at a position that overlaps with the position where the second ball outlet ports 33, 33 on the left side in the left-right direction of the rotating member 30 are provided, and from the rear to the front It is formed so as to incline downward, and guides the game ball 11 led out from the left second ball lead-out port 33, 33 of the rotating member 30 forward along the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine 100. Yes.
The rear portion of the right second guide groove 522 is disposed at a position that overlaps with the position where the second ball outlet ports 33, 33 on the right side of the rotating member 30 in the left-right direction are provided, and from the rear to the front It is formed so as to incline downward, and guides the game ball 11 led out from the right second ball lead-out port 33, 33 of the rotating member 30 forward along the front-rear direction of the pachinko gaming machine 100. Yes.

  In addition, the game ball 11 that has passed through the first guide groove 521 and the left and right second guide grooves 522 is caused to flow further forward in the front portion of the guide rolling portion 52, so that the game below the variation display device 4. A front guide portion 524 is formed to flow down to the region 1a. The front guide part 524 is formed in a circular arc plate shape that is concave upward so that the center is the lowest, and has a shape that slopes downward from the left and right end parts toward the center. Note that the left and right centers of the front guide portion 524 and the left and right centers of the first guide groove 521 coincide with each other, and the game ball 11 that has flowed straight forward through the first guide groove 521 is Also in the part guiding part 524, the game ball 11 flows down straight forward, and the game ball 11 flows down directly above the start winning port 91 of the normal variable winning device 9 provided below the variable display device 4. . That is, the start winning port 91 is disposed at a position located directly below the first guide groove 521. Further, the guide rolling part 52 is located below the inclined rolling part 51 and is disposed at a position closer to the lower start winning opening 91. Therefore, the game ball 11 led out from the first ball lead-out ports 32, 32 of the rotating member 30 passes through the first guide groove 521 and wins the start winning port 91 with a very high probability. .

  Further, the game ball 11 that has flowed down the second guide groove 522 flows down from the center of the front guide portion 524 to the left side or the right side, thereby causing the game ball 11 to flow from the right to the center or from the left to the center on the front guide portion 524. Slightly obliquely flows from the front guiding portion 524 to the game area 1a under the change display device 4. Therefore, the game ball 11 that has flowed down the second guide groove 522 flows down at a position that is shifted to the left and right from the position directly above the portion that becomes the start winning port 91 in the central portion of the normal variation winning device 9. Although the winning rate to the start winning port 91 is increased, the winning rate is clearly lower than that of the game ball 11 flowing down the first guide groove 521. That is, the game balls 11 derived from the first ball outlets 32 and 32 and the game balls 11 derived from the second ball outlets 33,... It is supposed to be different.

  In addition, a part of the mounting board 25 of the front structural member 20 covers these front portions before the upper inclined rolling portion 51 and the lower guided rolling portion 52 of the front rolling portion 50. Although it is arranged, a game ball opening 28 is formed in a portion serving as a passage for the game ball 11 flowing down from the front guide portion 524 of the lower guide rolling portion 52.

In the pachinko gaming machine 100 as described above, when the game ball 11 is ejected into the game area 1a, the center part of the upper part of the armor portion 24 of the variable display device 4 of the game balls 11 that have been ejected is reached. Part of the thing flows into the inlet 231 of the warp device 23.
Then, the game ball 11 that has flowed into the warp device 23 flows out from the outlet 233 to the front end portion of the communication channel 60 disposed at the left end portion of the rolling portion 22 through the game ball flow down path 232.
The game ball 11 that has flowed out to the front end portion of the communication channel 60 moves from the front portion to the rear portion of the rolling portion 22 while repeatedly bending left and right along the communication channel 60. At this time, the game ball 11 flows down while turning left and right repeatedly, thereby providing a highly entertaining mode. By repeatedly turning left and right, the flow velocity of the game ball 11 decreases, the flow force of the game ball 11 decreases, and the player's line of sight is drawn to the game ball 11 that repeatedly turns left and right, and the warp device 23 is used to draw the player to the player. It is possible to make it easy for the rolling unit 22 to recognize that the game ball 11 has flowed down.
Then, the game ball 11 reaching the rear end portion of the communication channel 60 falls to the left end portion of the rear rolling portion 40 on the side opposite to the ball introduction port 31 formed on the right side of the rotating member 30 and moves backward. The rear channel 41 of the moving part 40 flows down from left to right over a long distance. That is, the flow path of the game ball 11 from the outlet 233 of the warp device 23 to the ball inlet 31 of the rotating member 30 can be lengthened by effectively using the area of the rolling part 22. Therefore, it is possible to show the player the flow of the game ball 11 for a long period of time, and the player's interest in the interest and start prize can be improved.

Then, the game ball 11 that has flowed down the rear channel 41 stays in the introduction standby portion 42 adjacent to the front and rear at the left and right positions where the ball introduction port 31 of the rotating member 30 is disposed. At this time, when the ball introduction port 31 reaches a position (front) facing the introduction standby unit 42 by the rotation of the rotating member 30, the game ball 11 staying in the introduction standby unit 42 moves from the introduction standby unit 42 to the ball introduction port 31. And is introduced into the rotating member 30.
At this time, since the basic shape of the rotating member 30 has a short diameter on the end side and a large diameter on the central part, the game ball that has flowed in from the ball inlet 31 formed on the end side of the rotating member 30 11 rolls toward the central portion in the left-right direction along the inclination of the inner surface of the rotating member 30 in the rotating member 30, and further, the end portion side introduced from the central portion of the rotating member 30 until the flow-down force decreases. Rolls toward the opposite end. Thereafter, the game ball 11 rolls in the opposite direction along the inner surface of the rotating member 30 toward the center of the rotating member 30. That is, the game ball 11 basically repeats the movement to the left and right like a pendulum in the rotating member 30 and rotates while trying to stay below the rotating member 30 with respect to the rotation of the rotating member 30. Become.

However, the bulging portions 39, 39, the steps 331, 332, the first sphere outlet 32, the second sphere outlet 33,... Are formed on the inner surface of the rotating member 30. As a result, the reciprocating movement of the game ball 11 to the left and right is disturbed, and the rolling mode of the gaming ball 11 becomes a complicated rolling mode. Such a rolling mode of the game ball 11 in the rotating member 30 is visible to the player through the transparent or translucent cover member 70 and the transparent or translucent rotating member 30.
Therefore, the rolling mode of the game ball 11 in the rotating member 30 can enhance the interest of the player, and the expectation that the game ball 11 is led out from the first ball lead-out ports 32 and 32 can be enhanced.
In addition, the introduction standby unit 42 can wait for a plurality of game balls 11, and when the plurality of game balls 11 wait in the introduction standby unit 42, the introduction standby unit 42 has the ball introduction port 31. When faced, a plurality of game balls 11 can be introduced into the rotating member 30 at a time.
When a plurality of game balls 11 are introduced into the rotating member 30, a more complicated transition is obtained by adding a rolling mode due to the interference between the gaming balls 11 to the rolling mode of the game balls 11 as described above. In addition, the interest and expectation of the player can be further enhanced.

When the first ball outlets 32 and 32 face downward due to the rotation of the rotating member 30, the game ball 11 is guided to the first ball outlets 32 and 32 due to the inclination of the inner surface of the rotating member 30. The probability that the game ball 11 is derived from the first ball outlets 32 and 32 is increased.
Further, when the second ball outlet 33,... Faces downward due to the rotation of the rotating member 30, the inner surface of the rotating member 30 having the bulging portion 39 and the steps 331, 332 as described above is inclined. The game ball 11 is guided to the second ball outlets 33,..., And the probability that the game ball 11 is derived from the second ball outlets 33, 33 increases.
In this example, since the first sphere outlet 32, 32 and the second sphere outlet 33,... Are arranged 90 degrees apart from each other in the rotation direction of the rotating member 30, the rotating member 30 is Each time the player rotates 90 degrees, the player's expectation that the game ball 11 is led out from the first ball lead-out port 32 and the start winning rate is increased will increase or decrease, and the interest can be enhanced.

When the game ball 11 is led out from the first ball lead-out ports 32, 32 of the rotating member 30, the first guiding rolling portion 52 at the lower stage of the front rolling portion 50 in front of the rotating member 30 is used. The game ball 11 flows down to the guide groove 521, is guided to the first guide groove 521, and the game ball 11 is almost straight and hardly swings to the left and right. It flows down toward the start winning port 91 of the device 9 and wins the start winning port 91 with a high probability.
On the other hand, when the game ball 11 is led out from the second ball lead-out port 33,... Of the rotating member 30, the second guiding rolling portion 52 of the lower front rolling portion 50 in front of the rotating member 30 is used. The game ball 11 flows down to the guide groove 522 and is guided to the second guide groove 522. The game ball 11 is left and right from the start winning port 91 of the normal variation winning device 9 in the game area 1a below the variation display device 4. As a result, the winning rate to the start winning port 91 is low as compared with the case where the first ball outlet 32 and 32 are led out.

That is, the start winning rate is determined when the game ball 11 is led out from the rotating member 30, and the player's interest is rotated from the outflow of the game ball 11 from the warp device 23 to the rolling unit 22. The game ball 11 can be maintained until the game ball 11 is led out from the rotating member 30 through the introduction of the game ball 11 into the member 30. In addition, the rolling aspect of the game ball 11 in the rotating member 30 can enhance the interest and expectation of the player.
The rotating member 30 is basically configured to rotate at a constant speed at all times. For example, the first ball outlet port 32 and the second ball outlet port 33 are controlled by mechanical or electrical control. When it becomes a derivation location that is the timing at which the game ball 11 is derived from at least one, for example, when the first sphere outlet 32 or the second sphere outlet 33 faces downward, the rotation of the rotary member 30 May be temporarily stopped (for example, 0.5 seconds). In this way, the game ball 11 introduced into the rotating member 30 can be reliably led out in a relatively short time.
In addition, when the ball introduction port 31 of the rotating member 30 is in a rotational position where the introduction standby unit 42 of the rear rolling unit 40 faces, and the game ball 11 can be introduced into the rotating member 30, the rotation of the rotating member 30 is performed. You may make it stop once (for example, stop for 0.5 second). In this way, even if the ball introduction port 31 of the rotating member 30 passes through the introduction waiting portion 42, the game ball 11 that is waiting in the introduction waiting portion 42 is not introduced into the rotating member 30, and the rotating member 30. It is possible to prevent waiting for one revolution.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 100 as described above, the rolling part 22 is provided with a rotating member 30 in which a rotation axis is set in the left-right direction and a space into which the game ball 11 can flow is formed. The ball introduction port 31 for introducing the game ball 11 rolling on the rolling part 22 into the inside, the internal game ball can be derived, and the derived game ball is connected to the start winning port (normal variation prize winning device 9). ) And a plurality of ball outlets (first ball outlet 32 and second ball outlet 33) formed so as to be different from each other. The game balls 11 introduced into the rotary member 30 are distributed to any one of the plurality of ball outlets and led out.

Therefore, it is the structure which introduces the game ball 11 in the inside of the rotation member 30, and can form the flow-down mode (rolling mode) of the novel game ball 11 which has not existed before, and can improve interest. That is, in the rotating member 30, the game ball 11 rolls in the rotating member 30 based on the downward flow when it flows into the rotating member 30 and the rotation of the rotating member 30, and then the outside of the rotating member 30. As a result, a variety of rolling modes are taken for each game ball 11 flowing into the rotating member 30, and the interest of the player who is watching can be improved.
In addition, even when the game ball 11 is introduced into the rotating member 30, the start winning rate is determined according to the ball outlet (the first ball outlet 32 and the second ball outlet 33) that the game ball 11 leads out. Therefore, the player's interest does not concentrate only on whether or not the game ball 11 is introduced into the rotating member 30, and in addition to the introduction mode of the game ball 11 to the rotating member 30, the player's interest also in the derivation mode. Can attract and improve interest.

The rolling part 22 includes a rear rolling part 40 on the rear side and a front rolling part 50 on the front side with the rotating member 30 interposed therebetween, and the game ball 11 rolling on the rear rolling part 40. Is introduced into the rotating member 30 from the ball introduction port 31, and the introduced game ball 11 rolls forward from the ball lead-out port (first ball lead-out port 32, second ball lead-out port 33). It is configured to be derived to the unit 50. Therefore, the rotating member 30 is disposed between the rear rolling unit 40 and the front rolling unit 50, and the game ball 11 that has flowed into the rotating member 30 from the rear rolling unit 40 is transferred from the rotating member 30 to the front rolling unit 50. The game ball 11 that has flowed out and flowed into the forward rolling part 50 flows down from the variation display device 4 to the game area 1a below it.
Therefore, the rotating member 30 can be efficiently disposed on the rolling portion 22, and the game ball 11 can be reliably introduced into and out of the rotating member 30 from the back to the front.

The rotating member 30 is formed in a cylindrical shape and is configured so that the diameter gradually increases from both left and right end portions toward the central portion. The first sphere outlet 32 formed in the central portion and the first sphere outlet 32 are formed at one end side and formed as a sphere outlet, with a predetermined interval in the rotation direction. And a second sphere outlet 33 formed closer to the end than the first sphere outlet 32. Therefore, the game ball 11 that flows in from the ball inlet 31 on the end portion side of the rotating member 30 that is configured in a cylindrical shape and gradually increases in diameter from the both ends in the left-right direction toward the center portion is As the member 30 rotates, the roller 30 rolls along the rotating direction (circumferential direction) of the rotating member 30 and also rolls left and right due to the inclination of the inner surface based on the change in the diameter of the rotating member 30. The game ball 11 that rolls to the left and right has the first ball outlet 32, 32 at the center of the rotating member 30 when the first ball outlet 32, 32 at the center of the rotating member 30 faces downward. When it reaches 32, it is derived from the first ball outlets 32, 32. On the other hand, when the second ball outlets 33 formed on the end side of the rotating member 30 from the first ball outlets 32 and 32 face downward, the game ball 11 is moved to the first of the rotating member 30. When reaching the second sphere outlets 33,... On the end side from the sphere outlets 32, 32, they are derived from the second sphere outlets 33,. Therefore, the game balls 11 can be reliably distributed to the case where they are derived from the first ball outlets 32, 32 and the case where they are derived from the second ball outlets 33,.
In addition, the game ball 11 can be reliably introduced into and out of the rotating member 30 by the ball introduction port 31 and the ball discharge port. Further, since the first sphere outlets 32 and 32 are in the center of the rotating member 30 and the second sphere outlets 33 and so on are closer to the end than the first sphere outlets 32 and 32, respectively, The start winning rate of the game ball 11 derived from each of the first ball outlet 32, 32 and the second ball outlet 33,...

  The forward rolling unit 50 has a first guide groove 521 for guiding the game ball 11 led out from the first ball lead-out ports 32, 32, and the game ball 11 led out from the second ball lead-out ports 33,. And a guide rolling part 52 having a second guide groove 522 that guides the flow down, and the start winning opening 91 (ordinary variation prize-winning device 9) is disposed at a position located directly below the first guide groove 521. Has been.

  Accordingly, the first guide groove 521 for guiding the game ball 11 led out from the first ball lead-out ports 32, 32 to flow down, and the second guide for guiding the game ball 11 led out from the second ball lead-out ports 33,. With the guide groove 522, the start winning rate of the game ball 11 derived from each of the first ball outlet 32, 32 and the second ball outlet 33,... Can be varied reliably and efficiently. Since the start winning port 91 is disposed at a position located directly below the first guide groove 521, the start winning rate of the game ball 11 led out from the first ball lead-out ports 32 and 32 is ensured. Can be increased.

The second ball outlets 33,... Are formed on the left and right sides of the central portion of the rotating member 30, so that the game ball 11 can be placed in either of the left and right second ball outlets 33,. By being derivable, the manner of deriving the game ball 11 is diversified and the interest is improved.
Moreover, the derivation efficiency of the game ball 11 can be increased by forming the second ball outlets 33,. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the game ball 11 from staying inside the rotating member 30 for a long time.
Further, the starting winning rate of the game ball derived from the first ball outlet 32, 32 is configured to be higher than the starting winning rate of the game ball 11 derived from the second ball outlet 33,. In this case, by forming the second sphere outlets 33,... On the left and right with respect to the first sphere outlets 32, 32 arranged in the center, for example, the first sphere outlet 32, By forming the second ball outlets 33,... Which is twice as many as 32, the derivation rate of the game balls 11 from the first ball outlets 32, 32 can be suppressed. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the profit balance between the player and the game store from being lost due to the start winning rate being too high.

Further, the front rolling part 50 is formed by being divided into upper and lower stages, and the upper stage of the front rolling part 50 is inclined toward the center in the left-right direction and inclined forward, and on the front side of the rotating member 30. While the game ball 11 constitutes an inclined rolling part 51 capable of rolling, the lower stage of the front rolling part 50 constitutes the guided rolling part 52.
Therefore, by providing the front rolling unit 50 with the upper inclined rolling unit 51 and the lower guided rolling unit 52, the rolling mode of the game ball 11 at the rolling unit 22 can be further diversified and the interest is improved. Can be made. Since the guide rolling part 52 is provided at the lower stage of the front rolling part 50, it is possible to guide the game ball 11 at a position closer to the start winning opening 91. This makes it possible to win the game ball 11 at the starting winning opening with a higher probability by the first guiding groove 521 of the guiding rolling part 52 and is led out from the first ball outlet 32, 32, Depending on whether it is derived from the second ball outlets 33,..., The starting winning rate can be made more distinct.
Further, since the inclined rolling portion 51 and the guiding rolling portion 52 are separated from each other in the vertical direction, the inclined rolling portion 51 can variously play the game balls without disturbing the guidance of the gaming ball 11 by the guiding rolling portion 52. 11 can roll.

  In addition, the variation display device 4 includes an inflow port 231 into which a game ball 11 flowing down the game area 1 a around the variation display device 4 flows in, and a game ball flow-in path 232 through which the game ball 11 flows in from the inflow port 231. And a warp device 23 provided with an outlet 233 for flowing out to the rolling part 22 (rear rolling part 40) via the rotary outlet 30 of the rotating member 30 opposite to the ball inlet 31. The rear rolling portion 40 is inclined toward the ball introduction port 31 so as to guide the game ball 11 flowing out from the outflow port 233 to the ball introduction port 31.

  Therefore, a large number of game balls 11 can be collected in the rolling part 22 by the warp device 23, and the game balls 11 flowing into the rolling part 22 can be reliably and efficiently guided to the ball introduction port 31. Further, since the outflow port 233 is arranged on the end side of the rotating member 30 opposite to the ball introduction port 31, a path through which the game ball 11 that has come out of the outflow port 233 moves to the ball introduction port 31. , The movement of the game ball 11 in the meantime can be shown to the player, the expectation can be enhanced, and the interest is improved.

  The gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the above example, and can be applied in various ways. For example, in the above example, the upper part of the rotating member 30 is covered with the cover member 70, so The game ball 11 that rolls on the upper inclined rolling part 51 of the rolling part 50 did not come into contact with the rotating member 30, but covers like the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the second embodiment shown below. By not providing the member 70, the game ball 11 that rolls on the inclined rolling portion 51 may contact the outer periphery of the rotating member 30. That is, the inclined rolling portion 51 has a rear inclined portion 514 that is inclined toward the rotating member 30 so that the game ball 11 can come into contact with the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30 on the rear end side of the inclined rolling portion 51. It may be configured so that the flow-down mode of the game ball 11 changes when the game ball 11 comes into contact with the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30 in the rearward inclined portion 514.

  For example, the rolling unit 22 shown in FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8C shows the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the second embodiment, and the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the second embodiment is the first In the pachinko gaming machine 100 that is substantially the same as the embodiment, the cover member 70 is removed, the shape of the upper inclined rolling portion 51 of the front rolling portion 50 is changed, and the shape of the rotating member 30 is partially changed. Is a change. Below, a different part from 1st Embodiment of the pachinko gaming machine 100 of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated. In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the structure similar to 1st Embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the second embodiment, the rolling member 22 is not provided with the cover member 70 that covers the rotating member 30, and rolls on the upper inclined rolling part 51 on the front rolling part 50. The moving game ball 11 can contact the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30.
As in the first embodiment, the rotating member 30 includes a sphere inlet 31, first sphere outlets 32, 32, and second sphere outlets 33,. The diameter is gradually increased from both end portions toward the center portion, and the portion between the left and right second ball outlets 33,... Outside the rotating member 30 is curved and recessed. A hollow portion 38 in the state (becomes a bulging portion 39 inside the rotating member 30) is formed. In addition, this hollow part 38 is in the state where the center part, ie, the part which corresponds to the center part of the rotating member 30, is most depressed.

In addition, a protrusion 381 is formed in the recess 38 on the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30 at the rear portion in the rotation direction of the rotating member 30 and at the center of the rotating member 30. When the rotating member 30 rotates, the rotating member 30 protrudes toward the outside of the rotating member 30 as long as the rotating member 30 does not come into contact with other members.
As in the first embodiment, the inclined rolling portion 51 includes a central inclined portion 511 formed at the central portion in the left-right direction and left and right lateral sides formed adjacent to the left and right lateral sides of the central inclined portion 511, respectively. And inclined portions 512 and 512. The ribs 513 are directed upward at the rear side edges of the side inclined portions 512 and 512 so as to prevent the game ball 11 rolling on the side inclined portions 512 and 512 from contacting the rotating member 30. And is formed along the rear edge of the side inclined portions 512 and 512 on the rotating member 30 side.

Similarly to the first embodiment, the central inclined portion 511 is formed in a substantially arc plate shape that is concave upward so that the central portion is the lowest, and is inclined downward from the left and right end portions toward the center. In addition, although slightly inclined downward from the rear to the front, unlike the first embodiment, the upper surface slightly extends from the front to the rear, that is, toward the rotating member 30 on the rear end side of the central inclined portion 511. A rear inclined portion 514 that is inclined downward is formed.
Therefore, in the state where the game ball 11 is placed on the rear inclined portion 514 provided on the rear end portion side of the central inclined portion 511 of the inclined rolling portion 51, the game ball 11 is caused by the inclination of the upper surface of the central inclined portion 511. It rolls (induces) to the center side of the central inclined portion 511 and rolls toward the rotating member 30 after the inclined rolling portion 51 (inducted state).

  Here, the portion that is not the recessed portion 38 of the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30 that rotates, that is, the portion that protrudes from the left and right end portions of the rotating member 30 based on the shape that gradually increases in diameter toward the central portion, In the state of facing the inclined rolling part 51 side (front side), as shown in FIG. 8B, the game ball 11 that has rolled on the rear inclined part 514 of the central inclined part 511 is rotated in a protruding state. The game ball 11 is pushed forward by the central portion of the member 30, and the game ball 11 is located before the rear inclined portion 514 on the upper surface of the central inclined portion 511 from the portion inclined downward toward the rear end portion of the upper surface of the central inclined portion 511. It is pushed out to the part inclined downward toward the front and rolls to the front side of the central inclined part 511 along the inclination of the central inclined part 511 and rolls obliquely by rolling toward the central side. While central Rolling on the front side of the slope portion 511. In this case, the game ball 11 is not necessarily highly likely to flow down directly above the start winning port 91 of the normal variation winning device 9 and is more likely to flow obliquely. The winning rate is not so high.

  On the other hand, in a state in which the portion of the recess 38 on the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30 that is rotating, that is, the portion in which the center of the rotating member 30 is most depressed faces the inclined rolling portion 51 side (front side), As shown in FIG. 8C, the game ball 11 rolling on the rear inclined portion 514 of the central inclined portion 511 is inclined so that the center of the upper surface of the rear inclined portion 514 is lowered, and on the rotating member 30 side. The game ball 11 is guided on the upper surface of the central inclined portion 511 on the upper surface of the rear inclined portion 514 of the central inclined portion 511 by being guided by the upper surface inclined downward and the outer surface of the recessed portion 38 where the center of the rotating member 30 is most recessed. It is guided to the center side in the left-right direction, that is, the center side of the forward rolling part 50 and the inclined rolling part 51. That is, a recess 38 is formed in the vicinity of the second ball outlets 33,... In the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30, and the game ball 11 of the rear inclined portion 514 is moved to the rear inclined portion by the recess 38 of the rotating member 30. 514 can be guided to the center in the left-right direction.

  And when the rotating member 30 rotates, the part where the above-mentioned center part of the rotating member 30 protruded will be in the state which faced the inclination rolling part 51 side (front side), and the part of the outer peripheral center part of the rotating member 30 protrudes. The game ball 11 is pushed out to the front side of the central inclined portion 511 and falls to the lower game area 1a from the front side of the central inclined portion 511 in the same manner as described above. At this time, the game ball falls from the central portion of the forward rolling portion 50, that is, the central portions of the inclined rolling portion 51 and the central inclined portion 511. At this time, since the start winning opening 91 is provided at the center of the front rolling part 50, that is, below the center part of the rear inclined part 514, the inclined rolling part 51 and the central inclined part 511, the start winning rate is increased. However, since the outer peripheral surface from which the center of the rotating member 30 protrudes is not necessarily a plane that faces straight forward, there is a possibility that the game ball 11 may be pushed diagonally forward, and the start winning rate cannot necessarily be made extremely high. .

  Therefore, in the second embodiment, the protruding portion 381 is formed at a portion of the central portion of the rotating member 30 corresponding to the rear portion in the rotational direction of the concave portion 38. A portion that contacts the game ball 11 staying at the outer surface of the protruding portion 381, particularly the central portion of the rear inclined portion 514 of the central inclined portion 511, is straight along the left-right direction, and the game ball 11 is moved straight forward. Extrude. Note that the outer surface of the protrusion 381 that contacts the game ball 11 may be curved in the front-rear direction or the vertical direction, or may be a flat surface as long as it is straight along the left-right direction.

  The game ball 11 guided by the protrusion 381 to the central portion of the rear inclined portion 514 provided on the rear end side of the upper surface of the central inclined portion 511 by the recess 38 of the rotating member 30 as described above. When the rotary member 30 is rotated, it is pushed straight forward by a protrusion 381 provided at the rear of the recess 38 in the rotational direction, and is normally located directly below the central portion of the central inclined portion 511 (rear inclined portion 514). It will flow down directly above the start winning opening 91 of the variable winning device 9, and will start with a very high winning rate. That is, it rolls on the inclined rolling part 51 according to the rolling mode of the game ball on the inclined rolling part 51 and the rotation position of the rotating member 30 having the center protruding part, the recessed part 38 and the protruding part 381. The starting winning rate of the game ball 11 to be changed greatly, and together with the change of the starting winning rate of the game ball 11 introduced into the rotating member 30 described above, the player's interest in the interest and start winning Can be further increased.

In addition, when the hollow part 38 of the rotating member 30, that is, the second ball outlets 33 formed respectively on the left and right side parts of the hollow part 38 are rotated forward, the inclined rolling part 51. When the game ball 11 is in the rear inclined portion 514 provided at the rear end portion of the central inclined portion 511, the game ball 11 is guided to the center of the inclined rolling portion 51 (rear inclined portion 514) by the recess 38, Thereafter, when the second ball outlets 33,... Of the rotating member 30 rotate from the front-facing state to the downward-facing state, the game ball 11 is assumed to have no protrusion 381 (no protrusion 381). For example, it is more likely that the game ball 11 pushed forward by the projection 381 is pushed forward by a portion where the central portion of the rotation member 30 after the rotation direction protrudes further from the projection 381 and wins the start winning opening 91. On the other hand, in this case, that is, when the second ball outlets 33,... Of the rotating member 30 rotate from the front-facing state to the downward-facing state, the game ball 11 in the rotating member 30 is in the second state. The possibility of being derived from the ball outlet port 33 is increased, and the possibility that the game ball 11 in the rotating member 30 is awarded to the start winning port 91 is decreased.
Conversely, when the central member of the rotating member 30 protrudes, that is, when the first ball outlets 32 and 32 rotate from the front-facing state to the downward-facing state, the hollow portion 38 still remains. Since the game ball 11 on the central inclined portion 511 of the inclined rolling portion 51 is pushed out to a portion where the central portion of the rotating member 30 protrudes, the game on the inclined rolling portion 51 is The probability that the ball 11 wins the start winning opening 91 is low. However, the game ball 11 in the rotating member 30 is led out from the first ball lead-out ports 32 and 32 when the first ball lead-out ports 32 and 32 are turned downward from the front-facing state. This increases the possibility that the game ball 11 in the rotating member 30 will win the start winning opening 91.

In the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the second embodiment as described above, the game ball 11 is inclined toward the rotating member 30 so as to be able to contact the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30 on the rear end side of the inclined rolling portion 51. The rear inclined portion 514 is formed, and the game ball 11 contacts the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30 in the rear inclined portion 514, so that the flow-down mode of the game ball 11 is changed. The member 30 has a function of changing the flow-down mode of the external game ball 11 in addition to the guidance function (distribution function) of the game balls 11 therein, so that a plurality of functions can be efficiently exhibited.
Moreover, since the flow-down mode (rolling mode) changes when the game ball 11 comes into contact with the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30, more various flow-down modes of the game ball 11 can be generated, and the interest is further improved.

Further, a recess 38 is formed in the vicinity of the second ball outlet port 33,... On the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30, and the game ball 11 of the rear inclined portion 514 is transferred to the rear inclined portion by the recess 38 of the rotating member 30. If the start winning port 91 is provided below the central portion in the left and right direction of the inclined rolling portion 51 by being able to be guided to the center portion in the left and right direction of 514, the start winning port 91 is also provided at the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30. Since the game ball 11 can be guided downward, the player's sense of expectation for the start prize can be improved.
Further, the rotation angle of the rotating member 30 is such that the game ball 11 can be derived from the second ball outlets 33,... (The position where the game ball 11 cannot be derived from the first ball outlets 32, 32). In this case, regarding the derivation of the game ball 11 inside the rotating member 30, the expectation of winning the start winning port 91 is lowered, but in this case, in the vicinity of the second ball outlets 33 and 33. After the hollow portion 38 of the outer peripheral portion guides the game ball 11 on the inclined rolling portion 51 to the center portion, the rear portion of the rotational portion of the hollow portion 38 of the rotating member 30 tilts the game ball 11 to the inclined rolling portion. 51, the position of the rotating member 30 is pushed to the front or in the vicinity thereof. Therefore, the game ball 11 can be guided to flow down to the start winning opening 91 at the outer peripheral portion of the rotating member 30. But it can increase the player's expectation for starting prizes.
