Regions of the section 112, the sorting section 122, and the discharge section 142 are formed in this order.

  The ball flow path 112 part is a part for rolling the game ball discharged from the warp basket 103 onto the stage 111 to the sorting part 122, and the ball flow from the ball receiving part 113 formed at the upper end to the ball flow at the lower end. A spherical flow path 112 </ b> A is formed in a groove shape meandering in the depth direction of the stage 111 (the front-rear direction of the gaming machine 1) up to the road exit 119. The ball receiving portion 113 is a portion that receives a game ball discharged from the warp cage 103. The spherical channel 112A is folded back at the front and rear ends of the stage 111 (stage end in the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine) to form a meandering shape. Protrusions 114, 115, 116, 117, 118 projecting from the side wall of the groove into the flow path are formed in the vicinity of the turn of the spherical flow path 112A. The game ball rolling in the ball flow path 112A comes into contact with the protrusions 114 to 118, whereby the rolling speed of the game ball is reduced, and the game ball is surely meandered and the stage 111 is rotated. It becomes easy for the player to visually recognize the moving game ball, and it is possible to give the player interest in the movement of the game ball. In the present embodiment, the protrusions 114 to 118 are not all the same, and at least two of the protrusions 114 to 118 are formed by changing the shape and the degree of protrusion, thereby rotating the rolling game ball. By changing randomly, it is more effectively prevented that the distribution of the game ball path in the downstream distribution unit 122 is biased.

A shape distribution protrusion 124 is formed. The two guide paths 123A, 123A are formed with such a width that game balls can flow down one by one (that is, two or more game balls cannot flow down at a time). A game ball discharged from the ball channel outlet 119 of the ball channel 112 is once placed on the sorting projection 124 between the two guide channels 123A and 123A, and then any of the two guide channels 123A and 123A. The path of the game ball is distributed by rolling to the kana. In addition, an obstacle protrusion 124a is provided at the downstream end of the distribution protrusion 124, so that a game ball riding on the distribution protrusion 124 rolls to the second distribution part 122B without being distributed along the course. This is prevented by a game ball colliding with the obstacle projection 124a.

  In the second distribution portion 122B in the middle stage, two guide paths 123B and 123B are formed in parallel in a bowl shape (groove shape) whose bottom surface is curved in an arc shape. The width of the two guide paths 123B, 123B is a groove width that allows game balls to flow down one by one, and the groove width increases toward the top from the bottom. A boundary portion 125 between the two guide paths 123B and 123B in the second sorting section 122B is formed in a rib shape higher than the height (radius) of the hemisphere of the game ball, and the game rolls on the guide paths 123B and 123B. The sphere is prevented from getting over the boundary 125. One of the two guide paths 123B and 123B is disposed at a position where a game ball can be transferred from one of the two guide paths 123A and 123A of the first sorting unit 122A. The other of the two guiding paths 123B and 123B is disposed at a position where a game ball can be transferred from the other guiding path among the two guiding paths 123A and 123A in the first sorting unit 122A. In the present embodiment, a game ball transferred from the guide paths 122A and 122A of the first distribution section 122A to the outer position of the two guide paths 123B and 123B in the second distribution section 122B is received and the guide paths 123B and 123B are received. Inclined flat surfaces 126 and 126 are formed adjacent to the outer side portions of the guide paths 123B and 123B.

  The lower third distribution portion 122C includes three guide paths 123C, 123C, and 123C arranged in parallel in three rows in a bowl shape (groove shape) whose bottom surface is curved in an arc shape. The groove widths of the three guide paths 123C, 123C, and 123C are such that game balls can flow down one by one, and the groove widths increase from the bottom toward the top. As can be easily understood from FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, the second distributing unit 122 </ b> B and the third distributing unit 122 </ b> C that constitute two stages adjacent in the vertical direction in the distributing unit (guidance unit) 122. Are the widths of the guide paths 123B and 123B located in the upper second distribution section 122B such that the positions of the boundary sections 127 and 127 between the guide paths 123C, 123C and 123C located in the lower third distribution section 122C. The positions of the guide paths 123C, 123C, 123C of the third distribution unit 122C and the guide paths 123B, 123B of the second distribution unit 122B are shifted in the front-rear direction of the gaming machine 1 so as to overlap the direction center positions 128, 128. Is formed. Further, the boundary 125 between the guiding paths 123B and 123B in the upper second distributing section 122B is the width of the central guiding path 123C ′ of the three guiding paths 123C, 123C and 123C in the lower third distributing section 122C. It is configured to overlap the direction center position 129. The width direction center positions 128, 128 of the guide paths 123B, 123B located in the upper second distributing portion 122B are the center positions of the groove widths of the guide paths 123B, 123B or the bottom surfaces of the guide paths 123B, 123B. It is the same as the lowest position (center position).

  With this configuration, a game ball transferred from the guiding paths 123B, 123B of the upper second distributing unit 122B to the lower third distributing unit 122C is guided between the guiding paths 123C, 123C, 123C in the lower third distributing unit 122C. After falling on one of the boundary portions 127 and 127 after riding on the boundary portions 127 and 127, a game ball is placed on one of the two guide paths that are laterally adjacent to each other in the lower third distribution portion 122C. The course will be sorted out. Further, the boundary portions 127 and 127 between the guide paths 123C, 123C, and 123C are tapered from the bottom toward the upper side and have a sharp upper end or an arc shape. It becomes irregular to which side the game balls riding on the boundary portions 127, 127 fall from the boundary portions 127, 127, and it is possible to randomly distribute the courses of the game balls. In addition, a game ball rolls down on the boundary portions 127 and 127 without falling from the boundary portions 127 and 127 at the upper part on the downstream end side of the boundary portions 127 and 127 between the guide paths 123C, 123C and 123C. Upward protrusions 127a and 127a are formed to prevent this. In addition, the chain line in FIG. 6 shows the flow path of a game ball.

  The configuration and operation of the distribution unit (guidance unit) 122 are summarized as follows. In the second sorting part 122B and the third sorting part 122C adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, the center position in the width direction of the guide paths 123B and 123B having a hook shape (groove shape) formed in the upper second sorting part 122B The positions of the apexes of the boundary portions 127, 127 between the guide paths 123C, 123C, 123C formed by the ridges (groove shape) formed in the lower third distribution portion 122C overlap in the front-rear direction of the gaming machine 1, and A boundary 125 between the guide paths 123B and 123B formed in the upper second distribution section 122B, and a central guide path 123C ′ among the three guide paths 123C, 123C, and 123C in the lower third distribution section 122C The center position 129 in the width direction is overlapped in the front-rear direction of the gaming machine 1 (same as the front-rear direction of the stage 111).Further, the bottom surface of each guiding path is inclined so as to descend from the upstream side toward the downstream side.

  With such a configuration of the sorting unit (guidance unit) 122, the game ball rolling on the sorting unit 122 rolls on one of the two guiding paths 123B and 123B of the second sorting unit 122B. Thereafter, the course is randomly allocated to one of the three guide paths 123C, 123C, 123C of the third distribution unit 122C. Furthermore, the game balls that roll on any of the three guide paths 123C, 123C, 123C of the third distribution unit 122C are distributed to one of two discharge routes in the discharge unit 142 described later. That is, in the sorting unit 122, each time the game ball is transferred (dropped) from the upper stage to the lower stage, the position is changed in the front-rear direction of the gaming machine, and the left side inside the center decoration 100 is shifted to the center lower part. Roll towards In addition, since the guide paths 123B and 123B of the second distribution section 122B and the guide paths 123C, 123C and 123C of the third distribution section 122C have a bowl shape (groove shape) whose bottom surface is curved in an arc shape, When rolling on each guide path, it is possible to roll while swinging in the width direction of the guide path (the front-rear direction of the gaming machine 1) by the bottom surface curved in an arc shape, and in a state where swing is impossible As compared with the case where the ball rolls, it becomes possible to roll the game ball on the stage 111 for a longer time, so that the player's attention can be more attracted to the movement of the game ball. become. In addition, since the rolling speed of the gaming ball decreases due to the swinging compared with the case where the gaming ball does not swing, the rolling and dropping of the gaming ball when the gaming ball passes through the central discharge route in the discharge unit 142 thereafter. It becomes possible to perform better. FIG. 9 shows the flow of game balls.

  As shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 9, the discharge portion 142 is formed below the downstream end of the sorting portion 122, that is, below the downstream end of the third sorting portion 122 </ b> C. The discharge part 142 is a part for discharging the game balls distributed by the third distribution part 123C from the stage 111 toward the game area 6, and a side discharge route 143 as shown in FIGS. And a central discharge route 153.

  The side discharge route 143 receives a game ball falling from the downstream ends of the guide routes on both sides excluding the central guide route 123C ′ among the three guide routes 123C, 123C, 123C in the third sorting unit 122C. This is a discharge route for dropping the game area 6 from a position shifted from a position directly above the upper start winning opening 41. The side discharge route 143 has a groove-like shape that receives and rolls game balls that fall from the downstream ends of the guide routes on both sides excluding the central guide route 123C ′ among the three guide routes 123C, 123C, 123C. A discharge path 144 is formed. The discharge path 144 is formed so as to surround the center discharge route 153 except for the boundary side with the central guide path 123C ′, and is formed toward the front side of the gaming machine 1 in the stage 111. And a notch-shaped game ball outlet 145.

  The central discharge route 153 is a game ball that has rolled on the central guide path 123C ′ of the three guide paths 123C, 123C, and 123C in the third distribution unit 122C, right above the upper start winning opening 41. It is a discharge route that makes it easier for a game ball to win the upper start winning opening 41 than when it falls from the position to the game area 6 and passes through the side discharge route 143.

  The central discharge route 153 has a substantially cylindrical shape in which a rolling part 155 is formed in the upper part and a drop hole 165 is formed in the lower part, and the center of the three guide paths 123C, 123C, 123C in the third distributing part 122C. The downstream end of the guide path 123C ′ is formed downward so that the upper part of the central discharge route 153 is substantially in contact with the game ball from the center guide path 123C ′ of the three guide paths 123C to the rolling portion 155. It is configured to be guided.

The rolling part 155 guides and rolls the game ball falling into the drop hole 165 in the circumferential direction, and gradually moves toward the drop hole 165 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. The cylindrical inner peripheral surface is provided with a plurality of annular rolling surfaces 156, 157, and 158 having a reduced inner diameter in a stepped shape with a diameter decreasing toward the drop hole 165. That is, the annular rolling surfaces 156, 157, and 158 are configured by stepped surfaces formed such that the cylindrical inner peripheral surface is gradually reduced in diameter toward the drop hole 165, In this embodiment, there are three stages. The inner diameter of the rolling surfaces 156, 157, 158 is such that a game ball can pass through, and the width (difference between outer diameter and inner diameter) of the rolling surfaces 156, 157, 158 is greater than the radius of the game ball. Are also considered small. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the rolling portion 155 has a substantially mortar shape in which the inner surface side is stepped when viewed in a vertical cross section. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the upper rolling surface 156 is 14.5 mm, the inner diameter of the middle rolling surface 157 is 13.0 mm, the inner diameter of the lower rolling surface 158 is 11.5 mm, and each rolling surface 156, The widths of 157 and 158 are 1.5 to 2 mm. Furthermore, the inner diameter of the drop hole is 11.2 mm, and the diameter of the game ball is 11 mm. In the present embodiment, the upper rolling surface 156 is formed in a range of approximately three quarters of the circumference lacking the boundary side with the central guide path 123C ′.

In the present embodiment, the drop hole 165 is constituted by a center hole of the lower annular rolling surface 158 . The rolling surfaces 156, 157, 158 and the drop hole 165 are formed in the direction of the game ball (guide path 123C ′) of the central guide path 123C ′ among the three guide paths 123C, 123C, 123C in the third sorting part 122C. (In the longitudinal direction of the game machine 1). In this embodiment, the game machine 1 is inclined so that the rear side (the rear side of the stage 111) is lower in the front-rear direction of the game machine 1 that intersects the game ball traveling direction of the central guiding path 123C ′. That is, the rolling surfaces 156, 157, 158 and the drop hole 165 are inclined so that the rear side of the gaming machine 1 (the rear side of the stage 111) is lower than the horizontal plane. As shown in FIG. 8, the inclination angles of the rolling surfaces 156, 157, 158 and the drop hole 165 are the bottom surfaces of the central guiding path among the three guiding paths 123C, 123C, 123C in the third distributing part 122C. This corresponds to the inclination angle θ with respect to the horizontal plane 161 at the downstream end, and θ is set to 10 ° in this embodiment. In this way, the rolling surfaces 156, 157, 158 and the drop hole 165 are inclined in a direction crossing the game ball traveling direction of the guide path 123C ′, so that the guide path as shown in FIG. The game ball P guided from 123C ′ to the rolling part 155 is guided in the circumferential direction and rolls and falls while turning. Further, since the rolling surfaces 156, 157, 158 and the drop hole 165 are inclined with respect to the falling direction (gravity direction) of the game ball, the contact surface with the game ball is increased as compared with the case where it is not inclined. The direction of rotation of the game ball changed on the guide surface 167 can be changed more reliably. At this time, the game ball P rolls downward while slightly rising, and rolls and falls while vibrating irregularly in the rolling part 155. Therefore, the game ball turns for a while, but when viewed with the naked eye, the game ball appears to vibrate little by little around the drop hole 165.

  Further, the region where the rolling part 155 and the drop hole 165 are combined is set to a size less than two game balls. As a result, it is possible to prevent two or more game balls from accumulating between the rolling part 155 and the drop hole 165 to be clogged. Moreover, since the rolling part 155 and the drop hole 165 can be provided in the area for up to two game balls, space can be saved.

  The boundary between the guiding path and the rolling part 155, that is, the boundary between the central guiding path 123C ′ and the rolling part 155 in the three guiding paths 123C, 123C, 123C of the third sorting part 122C (matching) Part) 166 (shown in FIG. 7), as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, from the center j (shown in FIG. 8) of the bottom surface of the central guiding path 123C ′ to the rolling surfaces 156, 157, 158. A guide surface 167 having a shape along the bottom surface of the guide path 123C is formed on the upward direction U side of the slope, and the downward direction of the slopes of the rolling surfaces 156 and 157 from the center j of the bottom surface of the guide path 123C. A guiding inclined surface 169 for guiding the game ball in the downward direction D of the inclination is formed on the D side. The center j of the bottom surface of the central guiding path 123C 'corresponds to the lowest position of the arc-shaped bottom surface at the downstream end of the central guiding path 123C'.

  The guide surface 167 has an arc shape along a part of the downstream end of the bottom surface of the central guiding path 123C ′, and the length from the center j of the bottom surface of the central guiding path 123C ′ is The guide path 123C ′ is formed with a length of 1/2 or less of the width (groove width). Thereby, the guide surface 167 can guide the game ball guided from the central guide path 123 </ b> C ′ to the guide inclined surface 169 while supporting the game ball so as not to immediately fall into the drop hole 165. As shown in FIG. 10, the guide surface 167 moves laterally from rolling in the longitudinal direction R1 of the gaming ball P rolling on the central guiding path 123C (rotating with the rotation axis as the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine). It acts as a rotation direction changing means for changing to rolling in the direction R2 (rotation with the rotation axis as the left-right direction of the gaming machine). That is, the game ball P rolling on the guide surface 167 from the central guide path 123C ′ has the guide surface 167 from the center j of the bottom surface of the central guide path 123C ′ to the rolling surfaces 156, 157. , 158 on the up direction U side of the slope, the rolling surface 156, 157, 158 of the game ball P is supported by the arcuate guide surface 167 at half or less on the up direction U side of the rolling surface. Since more than half of the slopes of the moving surfaces 156, 157, and 158 on the downward direction D side are not supported, the game ball P rolls toward the downward direction D side of the rolling surfaces 156, 157, and 158. As a result, the rotation direction of the game ball changes from the previous vertical direction to the horizontal direction. When the rotation direction of the game ball P changes from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, the game ball from the central guide path 123C ′ to the rolling unit 155 side falls straight into the drop hole without being guided in the circumferential direction. This can be prevented more reliably.

  The guide surface 167 is connected to the upper end of the guide inclined surface 169. The game ball P that has reached the guide surface 167 reaches the guide inclined surface 169, rolls on the guide inclined surface 169, is guided in the circumferential direction, and rolls down the rolling portion 155 while dropping the hole 165. Fall to. Further, since the guide surface 167 changes the rotation direction of the game ball to a rotation direction in which the game ball is easily guided to the outer peripheral direction of the rolling part 155, the game ball guided from the central guide path 123C ′. Is prevented from entering the rolling part 155 with the rotation as it is, and it is easy to rotate the game ball along the shape of the rolling surface without rotating the game ball perpendicular to each rolling surface.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the center k of the drop hole 165 is deviated from the center 129 in the width direction of the central guide path 123C ′ in the third distribution part 122C in contact with the boundary part with the rolling part 155. Yes. As a result, the game ball can easily come into contact with the rolling surfaces 156, 157, and 158 of the rolling portion 155, and the game ball can be prevented from falling straight into the drop hole 165. Here, the structure of the conventional guide path, rolling part, and drop hole is to guide the game ball guided from the guide path toward the rolling part by wrapping around the rolling part from the circumferential direction. there were. However, in this embodiment, the size and arrangement of the guide path, the rolling portion, and the drop hole are restricted because the gaming balls cannot be guided to the rolling portion according to the conventional configuration due to space limitations in the gaming machine. . As a specific configuration, the guide path is configured to have a size capable of receiving game balls one by one, and the combined region of the rolling portion and the drop hole is configured to have a size less than two game balls. . And the boundary part of a guide path and a rolling part is comprised by the magnitude | size less than one game ball. In addition, the guide path is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the rolling part. For example, even if the direction of rotation of the game ball can be changed by the guide surface, the rolling part is There is a high possibility that it will be guided to the drop hole without turning. Therefore, in this embodiment, since the momentum of the game ball flowing down can be weakened by providing a plurality of guide paths configured in the shape as described above, the entry speed of the game ball from the guide path to the rolling part Can slow down. By weakening the momentum of the game ball flowing down in this way, the action of the guide surface or the like having the above-described configuration can be increased, and the guide surface can easily change the rotation direction of the game ball. As described above, the central guide path 123C ′, the rolling part 155, and the drop hole 165 constitute the rolling part even if the guide path is not large enough to guide the game ball in the circumferential direction of the rolling part. Can be rolled (including turning) for a while.

  Further, the rolling portion 155 is surrounded by a wall portion 170 except for a boundary portion side between the central guide path 123C and the rolling portion 155 in the third distribution portion 122C, and an upper portion of the wall portion 170 is the rolling portion. It protrudes above the moving part 155. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball from protruding from the uppermost rolling surface 156 and rolling by the wall 170, and reliably roll the gaming ball on the rolling surface to the drop hole 165. It can be moved. In the present embodiment, the wall 170 is U-shaped in plan view, and is located on the opposite side of the guide path 123C from the boundary between the center guide path 123C ′ and the rolling part 155 in the third sorting part 122C. The U-shaped wall 170 is formed at a position (position on the rolling portion 155 side) with the opening tip side 171 of the U-shaped wall facing the guide path 123C ′ side, and the U-shaped wall The guide surface 167, the guide inclined surface 169, the rolling portion 155, and the drop hole 165 are disposed in the wall portion 170. As a result, the U-shaped wall 170 prevents the game ball from rolling out of the guide inclined surface 169 or the uppermost rolling surface 156, and the gaming ball is reliably placed on the rolling surface. Can be rolled up to the drop hole 165.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, on the boundary portion side between the center guiding path 123C ′ and the rolling portion 155 in the third sorting portion 122C, the upstream side of the inclination of the rolling surface with respect to the guide surface 167. The guide standing wall 172 for guiding the game ball from the guide surface 167 to the guide inclined surface 169 side by contacting the game ball transferred from the guide path 123C ′ to the guide surface 167 at the position It may be formed in a state where the downstream side 173 of 172 is inclined toward the guiding inclined surface side 169. In this way, the rotation direction of the game ball can be changed from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction more reliably by the guide standing wall 172, and the game ball can be more reliably transferred from the guide surface 167 to the guide inclined surface 169. It is possible to roll.

  The lower cover 181 is assembled on the lower side of the stage 111, and a passage 182 is formed for receiving the game ball falling from the drop hole 165 and guiding it to the upper start winning opening 41 and dropping it. Yes.

  The right decoration 191 is assembled on the right side of the stage 111 to perform decoration on the lower right side of the center decoration 100.
