Description

  The present invention relates to a game part of a ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine, and in particular, includes a ball channel through which a game ball can pass and a stage unit through which the game ball that passes through the ball channel can roll. The present invention relates to a game part for a ball game machine.

  Conventionally, pachinko machines equipped with a symbol display device have been widely used. In this type of pachinko gaming machine with a symbol display device, when the game ball wins a winning winning opening provided in the game area on the front side of the game board, a required symbol variation display is made on the symbol display device. According to the stop mode, a game state advantageous to the player is given. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine with the symbol display device, since the symbol variation mode or symbol stop mode in the symbol display device triggered by winning of the game ball at the start winning opening has become the main interest of the game in recent years. Then, the design of the symbol display device is increasing.

  However, when the symbol display device is enlarged, a large part of the game area is occupied by the symbol display device and game parts arranged around the symbol display device, and the winning route of the game ball to the start winning opening is limited. There was a risk of losing the original gameplay of pachinko machines that enjoy rolling balls.

  Therefore, the game parts are provided with a ball flow path through which game balls can pass and a stage section through which the game balls that have passed through the ball flow path can roll, and win the starting prize opening through the stage section from the ball flow paths. Pachinko machines with new winning routes for gaming balls have been proposed, and more recently, pachinko gaming machines that have a stage formed with a specific flow path for winning gaming balls at the start winning opening Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

JP 2001-70537 A Japanese Patent No. 3321980

  However, in the pachinko gaming machine in which the specific flow path is formed in the stage portion in this way, there is a problem that the ratio guided to the specific flow path changes depending on the inclination angle of the gaming machine in the front-rear direction. there were. In other words, pachinko machines are usually installed on the game island with a back tilt angle of 4 minutes 5 km (about 1 degree), and the installation angle can be adjusted manually. Therefore, the installation angle varies for each gaming machine, the inclination angle of the stage portion changes for each gaming machine, and the ratio of guiding to a specific flow path may deviate significantly from the design value. For this reason, it is difficult to adjust the ball exit rate. For example, in a gaming machine having a high ratio of guiding to a specific flow path with respect to the design value, even if the game nail is adjusted, the winning rate at the start winning opening is lowered. However, there is a problem that it may cause business damage to the amusement store.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and a ball game machine in which the winning rate to the start winning opening does not change depending on the installation angle of the gaming machine, and the output rate can be easily adjusted. It is to provide.

  The present invention is a game component 8 for a ball game machine provided in a game area 3 formed on the front side of a game board 1, and a symbol display area see-through unit 9 for visually recognizing the symbol display of the symbol display device 4. The stage part introduction path 19 that guides the game ball 26 to the stage part 24 formed so that the game balls 26 can roll, and all the game balls 26 guided to the stage part 24 by the stage part introduction path 19 Distribution that can be distributed to the specific flow paths 48, 49, 50, 51 that are easy to win the specific winning opening 12 provided in the region 3 and the general flow path 67 that is difficult to win the specific winning opening 12 from the specific flow path. The distribution means 33 is provided in a pair of left and right, and a specific flow path guide section 46 for guiding 48, 49, 50, 51 to the specific flow path and a general flow path guide section 48 for guiding to the general flow path 67. A rotation distribution member 43 having And a pair of left and right rotation distribution members 43 that rotate at substantially the same rotational speed, and the specific flow path guide portion 46 of one rotation distribution member 43 is a game ball. The specific flow path guide portion 46 of the other rotation distribution member 43 is configured to be unable to receive the game ball 26 when the 26 is in a state where the game ball 26 can be received.

  According to the present invention, since the game ball guided to the stage portion is reliably distributed to either the specific flow path or the general flow path by the distribution means, the exit rate depends on the installation angle of the ball game machine. This makes it easy to adjust the launch rate.

  In addition, the left and right rotation distributing members can rotate so that when one specific flow path guide portion is in a state where the game ball can be received, the other specific flow path guide portion cannot receive the game ball. Therefore, the player can not aim at the specific flow path guide portion by stopping and can obtain various excellent effects such as an increase in game contingency.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In addition, a sphere outlet 27 is provided in the lower part of the sphere channel 23, and the sphere outlet 27 is opened on the front left lower side surface 28 facing the symbol display device 4. From the ball outlet 27, an introduction path 30 is provided over the ball introduction port 29 in the center of the stage portion 24, and the introduction path 30 is inclined toward the ball introduction port 29 with a downward slope. The introduction path 30 is formed by folding a single wire-like member into a parallel rail shape, the turn-up portion 31 has an annular shape, and the rail width of the introduction path 30 is smaller than the diameter of the game ball 26. . In this case, as is well shown in FIG. 1, the introduction path 30 is located in front of the lower left part of the front of the symbol display area see-through unit 9 and partially overlaps the symbol display area see-through part 9, Since it is formed by the shape member, there is no possibility of hindering visual recognition of the symbol display of the symbol display device 4. Thus, the stage part introduction path 19 is formed in the game component 8 by the ball passage 23 and the introduction path 30, and the game ball 26 that has entered the ball inlet 25 by the stage part introduction path 19 is guided to the stage part 24. It has come to be. Note that the configuration of the introduction path 30 is not limited to the above-described configuration, and various modifications such as using three wire-like members to form a V-groove shape are possible.

  The stage unit 24 wins the game ball 26 guided by the stage unit introduction path 19 to the distribution unit 33 and the game ball 26 guided by the distribution unit guide path 32 to the start winning opening 12. Distributing means 33 capable of distributing the specific flow path easily and the general flow path difficult to win the start winning opening 12 from the specific flow path is provided.

  The distribution means guide path 32 is formed to be wide in the front-rear direction from the central portion toward both ends, has a bilaterally symmetric shape, and includes a sphere introduction port 29 connected to the terminal end of the introduction path 30, and left and right distribution. The means 33 is mainly formed with a distribution means guide portion 20 for guiding the game ball 26 to the means 33.

  The ball introduction port 29 has a pair of front and rear ball introduction port bases 34, and has an interval at which the front and rear ball introduction path bases 34 can allow the game balls 26 to pass through at a substantially central portion of the distribution means guide path 20. It is erected.

  In addition, an upper portion of the ball introduction port base 34 has an inner diameter that allows the game ball 26 to pass through the reverse C-shaped ball introduction port guide 35 in plan view across the front and rear ball introduction path bases 34. A ball receiving portion 36 is formed so as to be connected to the terminal end of the introduction path 30, and further protrudes upward from the introduction path 30 at a position facing the ball outlet 27 of the ball introduction port guide 35. The game ball 26 is surely guided to drop from the ball introduction port 30 to the ball introduction port 29.

  An introduction path support portion 37 is formed on the outside of the ball introduction port 29 so as to protrude in the front-rear direction, and the folded portion 31 of the introduction path 30 is supported on the introduction path support portion 37. Further, an introduction path latching portion 38 is formed on the outer side of the ball receiving portion 35 so as to protrude to the right side of the front surface, and the folded portion 31 of the introduction path 30 is latched to the lower portion of the introduction path latching portion 38. ing. Therefore, the introduction path 30 is attached to the ball introduction port 29 by the folding part 31 being supported by the introduction path support part 37 and being latched by the introduction path latching part 38.

  The distribution means guide section 20 has a hemispherical left and right distribution projection 39 projecting at a position corresponding to the center of the sphere introduction port 29, and a slight downward gradient in the left and right direction with the left and right distribution projection 39 as a vertex. The ramp 40 is formed. For this reason, the sphere that has fallen from the sphere introduction path 29 is guided substantially equally to the left and right inclined paths 40 by the left and right sorting protrusions 39. In addition, the distribution means guide unit 20 is provided with a fall prevention wall 41 standing at the front end of the ramp 40 to prevent the falling game ball 26 from falling forward. The game ball 26 is guided to the distribution means 33 by the ramp 40. The inclined path 40 is curved with a substantially central portion corresponding to the sphere introduction port 29 as a rearmost end, and is cut into a semicircular shape so that both left and right end portions coincide with the outer periphery of the rotating flow path 48 described later. It is not formed. Positioning ridges 42 are formed on the rear surfaces of the end portions of the inclined paths 40 (rear surfaces of the distribution means guide paths 32), and the positioning ridges 42 are fitted on the outer periphery of the rotating flow path 48. It has become.

  The distribution means 33 includes a pair of substantially disc-shaped left and right rotation distribution members 43 that are rotatably provided on both sides of the stage portion 24, and a rotation distribution member drive means 44 that rotates the rotation distribution member 43. A rotation support shaft 45 projects from the center of the lower surface of the rotation distribution member 43. The rotation distributing member 43 has one ball passage hole 46 and four pocket portions 47 arranged radially, and each of the ball passage hole 46 and each pocket portion 47 is U-shaped so as to easily attract the game ball 26. The pocket portion 47 is formed in a groove shape. The ball passage hole 46 functions as a specific flow path guide unit that guides the game ball 26 to the specific flow path, and the pocket portion 47 functions as a general flow path guide unit that guides the game ball 26 to the general flow path. It has become.

  The specific flow path includes a rotary flow path 48 formed in a bowl shape below the left and right rotation distribution members 41, and left and right slopes inclined downward from the rear of each rotary flow path 48 toward the center of the stage portion 24, respectively. , A ball drop hole 50 formed between the left and right straight flow paths 49, and a discharge port 51 that communicates with the ball drop hole 50 and is slightly inclined forward. The discharge port 51 is positioned directly above the start winning port 12 which is a specific winning port. A cylindrical rotation support bearing 52 is projected from the center of the rotation flow path 48, and the rotation support shaft 45 of the rotation distribution member 43 is inserted through the rotor bearing 52. Further, the rotary flow path 48 is inclined toward the outlet portion 53 to the straight flow path 49, and is formed so that the opposite side portion of the outlet portion 53 is highest with the rotation support bearing portion 52 interposed therebetween. . Furthermore, a ball drop prevention wall 54 is formed along the front end of the straight flow path 49, and two rail portions 55 are formed on the inner surfaces of the ball drop hole 50 and the discharge port 51, respectively, along the flow direction of the game ball 26. Projecting in parallel.

  The general flow path is constituted by a discharge path 67 that is recessed in an ear shape along the outer periphery on both sides of the rotary flow path 48. The discharge path 67 is formed at the same height as the pocket portion 47 and is inclined at a forward and downward slope. The game ball 26 passes from the pocket portion 47 to the start winning opening 12 via the discharge path 67. It is formed so that it can fall down.

  Further, a substage 56 is formed below the distribution means guide path 32 and in front of the straight flow path 49, and the substage 56 is inclined downwardly from both ends toward the central portion 57. Further, a ball drop prevention wall 58 is erected at the front end portion of the substage 56 except for the central portion 57, and the central portion 57 of the substage 56 is slightly inclined forward. A sphere drop hole guide portion 59 that is inclined toward the sphere drop hole 50 is formed behind the central portion 57.

  The rotation distribution means driving means 44 is screwed to the lower surface side of the stage portion 24 via a base member 60 made of a metal plate. The base member 60 includes a motor 61 and a rotation shaft of the motor 61. A drive gear 65 fitted to 64 and a drive transmission mechanism 63 including a plurality (11 in the figure) of gears 62a to 62k meshing with each other are provided. The motor 61 is mounted on the front right end of the base member 60, the rotating shaft 64 of the motor 61 penetrates the base member 60 downward, and the drive gear 65 meshes with the gear 62 k on the front right side of the drive transmission mechanism 63. ing. The gears 62c to 62k of the drive transmission mechanism 63 are rotatably mounted on the drive transmission mechanism housing portion 66 of the base member 60, and the drive transmission mechanism housing portion 66 is provided with a metal plate facing the gear 62c. ˜62k does not fall off from the drive transmission mechanism accommodating portion 66. The two gears 62 a and 62 b on the front side of the drive transmission mechanism 63 are respectively disposed below the left and right rotation distribution members 43 and fitted on the rotation support shaft 45 of the rotation distribution member 43. It can rotate as a unit. In this case, since the even number (eight) gears 62c to 62j are interposed between the two gears 62a and 62b arranged below the rotation distribution member 43, the left and right rotation distribution members 43 are disposed. Are designed to rotate in opposite directions. Further, the left and right rotation distribution members 43 rotate at substantially the same rotational speed, and when one ball passage hole 46 faces inward so as to receive the game ball 26 as shown in FIG. The passage hole 46 is set to face outward so as not to receive the game ball 26. Therefore, the player can no longer aim at the ball passage hole 46 by stopping, and the game contingency can be enhanced.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference mainly to FIG. 1 and FIGS.

  When the game ball 26 struck by a player falls in the game area 3 and enters the ball entrance 25, the game ball 26 passes through the ball flow path 23 and moves from the ball exit 27 to the introduction path 30. It moves and enters the ball introduction port 29.

  The game ball 26 that has entered the ball introduction port 29 falls on the left / right sorting projection 39 and is sorted by the left / right sorting projection 39 in either the left or right direction. At this time, the distance between the front and rear of the ball introduction port base 34 and the inner diameter of the ball introduction port guide 35 are larger than the diameter of the game ball 26, so The game balls 26 dropped at the biased positions and dropped on the left and right sorting protrusions 39 are reliably sorted in either the left or right direction. Further, since the left and right sorting protrusions 39 are arranged at the center of the ball introduction port 29 and are formed in a hemispherical shape, the game balls 26 are evenly distributed to the left and right.

  The game balls 26 distributed left and right by the left and right distribution protrusions 39 roll toward the rotation distribution member 43 along the inclined path 40, for example, as shown on the left side of FIG. The ball enters the passage hole 46 and falls into the rotating flow path 48. At this time, the rotations of the motor 61 and the drive gear 65 are transmitted to the gears 62a and 62b via a plurality of gears 62c to 62j that are sequentially meshed with the drive gear 65, so that the left and right rotation distribution members 43 are substantially the same. They are rotating in opposite directions at the same speed.

  Further, the game ball 26 that has fallen into the rotating flow path 48 rolls from the rotating flow path 48 to the straight flow path 49 and enters the ball dropping hole 50 as shown on the left side of FIG. Then, it rolls along the ball drop hole 50 and the rail portion 55 in the discharge port 51 and is discharged from the discharge port 51 to the game area 3. The game ball 26 discharged from the discharge port 51 wins the start winning port 12 with a very high probability because the discharge port 51 is located immediately above the start winning port 12. In this way, the game ball 26 that has passed through the specific flow path can win the start winning opening 12 with a very high probability.

  In FIG. 10 (a), for convenience of explanation, when the left ball passage hole 46 faces inward so as to receive the game ball 26, the right ball passage hole 46 is drawn so as to face obliquely forward on the inner side. In practice, however, as shown in FIG. 4, when the left ball passage hole 46 faces inward so that the game ball 26 can be received, the right ball passage hole 46 faces outward. Is set.

  On the other hand, as shown on the right side of FIG. 10A, the game ball 26 that has entered the pocket portion 47 rotates together with the rotation distributing member 43 while being held in the pocket portion 47, and the pocket portion 47 is When in contact with the discharge path 67, the game ball 26 in the pocket portion 47 is discharged to the discharge path 67. Then, the game ball 27 is discharged from the discharge path 67 toward the start winning opening 12 to the game area 3. In this way, the game ball 26 that has passed through the general flow path wins the start winning opening 12 with a lower probability than when it passes through the specific area.

  As described above, when the game ball 26 is guided to the stage portion 24, the ball receiving portion 36 is formed in the ball introduction port 29 so as to face the ball outlet 27, and therefore the ball 26 rolls on the introduction path 30. There is no possibility that the game ball 26 jumps over the ball receiving portion 36, and the game ball 26 surely enters the ball introduction port 29, and the ball dropping prevention wall 41 is formed in the distribution means guide path 32. 26 reliably enters either the ball passage hole 46 or the pocket portion 47 of the rotation distributing member 43. Therefore, all the game balls 26 that have flowed into the stage portion 24 are surely placed in any one of the specific flow path and the general flow path according to the installation ratio of the ball passage holes 46 and the pocket portions 47 formed in the rotation distributing member 43. It is distributed to. Further, since a ball drop prevention wall 54 is formed at the front end portion of the straight flow path 49, the game ball 26 that has entered the specific flow path can be reliably removed from the discharge port 51 without escaping from the specific flow path. Discharged. Therefore, even if the installation angle of the pachinko machine on the game island varies, the ratio of entering the specific channel and the general channel does not change, the nail adjustment is easy, and the exit rate is adjusted. Becomes easy. In addition, since all the game balls 26 that have flowed into the stage portion 24 are equally distributed to the left and right by the left and right distribution protrusions 39, the space on both the left and right sides of the stage portion 24 can be used effectively.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when one game ball 26 flows into the stage unit 24, the winning rate to the start winning opening 12 does not change, but there is a continuous flow of game balls 26. In this case, since the game ball 26 that has flowed into the stage portion 24 is stored in the pocket portion 47, the winning rate of the second and subsequent game balls 26 to the start winning opening 12 changes. As a result, the player can no longer aim at the ball passage hole 46 by stopping, and the contingency of the game can be improved. In addition, when it is disliked that the winning opening changes as described above, the game ball 26 that has flowed into the pocket portion 47 may be immediately guided to the general flow path.

  Further, as well shown in FIG. 10A, since the central portion of the distribution means guide path 32 is retracted, the game ball 26 that has been bulleted may fall directly onto the substage 56. is there. Then, the game ball 26 that has fallen on the substage 56 falls forward from the central portion 57 of the substage 56, or falls into the ball drop hole 50 via the ball drop hole guide portion 59 and then from the discharge port 51. It is discharged. In this case, since the central portion 57 and the discharge port 51 of the substage 56 are both located immediately above the start winning port 12, the game ball 26 can win the start winning port 12 with a high probability.

  In this way, the game ball 26 enters the ball entrance 25 after passing through the specific flow path or the general flow path, or through the substage 56 without winning the ball entrance 25, or directly. When winning at the start winning opening 12, the start winning detection switch 14 detects the winning of the game ball 26 into the starting winning opening 12, and a detection signal is sent to a control device (not shown). Based on this detection signal, the control device transmits a symbol start signal, and the symbol display on the symbol display device 4 is started by the symbol start signal. At this time, every time the start winning detection switch 14 detects a winning of the game ball 26 to the start winning opening 12, the symbol is changed and stopped once, but the game ball 26 is displayed during the change display of the symbol. When the start winning detection switch 15 detects winning in the start winning opening 12, the hold lamp 11 is turned on to notify the player of that. The number of game balls 26 detected by the start winning detection switch 15 during the symbol variation display is stored up to four, and as soon as the symbol variation / stop operation is completed, the number of times corresponding to the number of the holding lamps. The symbols are changed and stopped sequentially.

  As described above, when the symbol display is started in the symbol display device 4 and the control device determines that the symbols of the left symbol 5 and the right symbol 7 are aligned after a lapse of a predetermined time, via the lamp control board. The lamp effect device 10 is flashed, etc., to notify that the game is in the reach state, and to give the player a sense of expectation.

  Thereafter, when the control device determines that all the symbols of the left symbol 5, the middle symbol 6, and the right symbol 7 are aligned, the lamp effect device 10 blinks through the lamp control board, and the game is in a big hit state. Notify that there is, and shift from normal game to special game (big hit game).

  When entering the special game in this way, the big prize opening 13 is opened, and when the game ball 26 wins the big prize opening 13, 15 prize balls are paid out to the player. The grand prize opening 13 is temporarily closed when either 30 seconds have elapsed since the opening or when there is a 10-ball prize, but while the grand prize opening 13 is open. If there is a winning in the specific area (V zone), the special winning opening 13 is opened again. The special winning opening 13 can be continuously opened a maximum of 16 times. The special winning opening 13 has been opened 16 times or the special area (V If the specific area passage detection switch 15 does not detect a winning in the zone, the special game is ended.

  In the above-described embodiment, one ball passage hole 46 and four pocket portions 47 are formed in the rotation distributing member 43. However, this is merely an example, and the ball passage hole 46 and the pocket portion 47 are merely examples. The number of installations and the installation ratio thereof can be variously changed. Further, the number of the rotation distributing members 43 may be one or three or more.

  Further, the number of gears constituting the drive transmission mechanism 63 is not limited to the above-described number, and an odd number of gears are provided between the two gears 62 a and 62 b arranged below the rotation distributing member 43. In this case, the left and right rotation distribution members 43 rotate in the same direction.

  Furthermore, the drive transmission mechanism 63 may be configured, for example, by arranging belt wheels at the positions of the drive gear 65 and the gears 62a, 62b, 62d, 62i in FIG. In this case, the left and right rotation distribution members 43 rotate in the same direction. Furthermore, the drive transmission mechanism 63 can be changed in various ways, such as another transmission mechanism such as a roller chain, or a combination of a gear and a belt, or a gear and a roller chain. The rotation direction of 43 can also be freely changed.

  Further, the left and right rotation distributing members 43 are not necessarily limited to the arrangement as shown in FIG. 4, and when one ball passage hole 46 is in a state where the game ball 26 can be received, the other ball passage hole 46. May be set so as to be unable to accept the game ball 26.
