Description

  The present invention relates to a medal game device that executes a game using medals as game media.

Conventionally, a medal game device called a pusher type is known.
The pusher-type medal game device is fixed in the game space of the housing through a fixed table whose front end extends upward from the medal drop opening and an insertion hole (entrance / exit) of the housing provided behind the fixed table. A pusher table that slides back and forth along the top surface in the direction of the medal drop opening is provided. A large number of medals are placed on the upper surface of the fixed table and the upper surface of the pusher table to cover the upper surface. The front end of the pusher table has a shape such that there is no gap between the upper surface of the fixed table or a gap smaller than the medal thickness even if there is a gap. The medal placed on the top can be pressed.

  When the player inserts a new medal into the game device, the same number of medals are inserted into the game space and placed on the upper surface of the pusher table. When the pusher table moves backward while sliding along the fixed table, the pusher table is retracted into the insertion hole (entrance / exit) of the housing. As the pusher table is retracted, medals placed on the rear side of the upper surface of the pusher table hit the end of the insertion hole and are pushed relatively forward. Then, the other medals placed on the upper surface of the pusher table were pushed forward one after another in a ball shape, and the medals placed on the front end side of the pusher table were fixed by the pusher table moving backward. Drop into an empty area on the top surface of the table.

  Next, when the pusher table slides and moves forward on the fixed table, the medal newly dropped on the fixed table is pushed forward by the front end surface of the pusher table. This time, the medals placed on the upper surface of the fixed table are successively pushed forward one after another. A part of the placed medals falls from the front end of the fixed table to the medal drop opening, and the dropped medals are paid out from the medal payout opening.

  However, an inclined surface bent upward is formed at the front end of the fixed table, and medals do not fall into the medal drop opening unless the inclined surface is exceeded. That is, the inclined surface acts as a resistance to movement of the medal, and acts to suppress the medal from easily falling to the medal dropping opening. With this inclined surface, for example, if a player inserts one medal, the newly inserted medal drops the medal from the pusher table to the fixed table, and the newly dropped medal already falls on the fixed table. Even if the medals placed on the table are pushed, there is a case where a single medal is not fallen off the fixed table but is accumulated so as to be folded on the inclined surface. However, there is a limit to the accumulation of medals. Therefore, depending on the position of the medals that have fallen on the fixed table, a portion where medals are sufficiently accumulated can be pushed out by the pusher table, and a large number of medals can be obtained with only one medal. In other words, it creates a chance to get “special luck” by generating medal accumulation.

  In recent years, as a game medium different from medals, there is also known one that supplies a ball onto a fixed table (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In such a medal game device, when the ball supplied on the fixed table is carried together with the medal placed on the fixed table and falls to the medal drop opening, it is sorted into medals and transported to the lottery device by the collecting mechanism and the transport mechanism. Thus, it is configured to be a lottery medium. A ball with a shape different from a medal is added to give a visual change, and by performing a lottery with this ball as a lottery medium, it is more special than just dropping a medal from the table. We have realized a medal game with a lot of chances.

  By the way, in the conventional medal game device, only one type of different type of game media (special game media) such as a ball different from the medal is used, and there is only one type of lottery executed.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to further enhance the playability and amusement in a medal game device using a special game medium that rolls differently from the medal. is there.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the first invention is a medal drop opening, a large number of medals, a first special game medium that is a rolling element that naturally rolls by tilting, and a rolling element that rolls naturally by tilting. A medal placement part (for example, the fixed table 6 in FIG. 1) having a medal placement surface for placing a second special game medium larger than the first special game medium, and toward the medal drop opening The pusher portion (for example, the pusher table 8 in FIG. 1) that reciprocates along the medal placement surface and pushes the placed object on the medal placement surface, and the first special that has fallen to the medal drop opening A first detection unit (for example, a passage sensor 62 and a load sensor 61c in FIG. 3) that detects a game medium, and a second detection unit (for example, FIG. 3) that detects the second special game medium that has fallen to the medal drop opening. Passage sensor 63, load Sensors 61a, 61b), and first privilege grant processing means (for example, the control unit 50, the liquid crystal display 44, and the triple slot 46 in FIG. 1) for performing a first privilege grant process in response to the detection of the first detector. , A medal game device comprising second privilege grant processing means (for example, the control unit 50, the liquid crystal display 44, and the roulette 48 in FIG. 1) that performs a second privilege grant process in response to detection by the second detection unit. .

  According to the first invention, when the first special game medium different from the medal and the second special game medium larger than the medal are used, and the former falls to the medal dropping opening, the first privilege grant process is performed. If the latter falls to the medal drop opening, the second privilege grant process can be executed. Therefore, it is possible to improve game play and entertainment by giving diversity to the game progress.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a special game medium capturing unit that captures the first special game medium and the second special game medium out of the medal dropped from the medal placement surface to the medal drop opening and the first and second special game media. This is a medal game device according to the first aspect of the invention including (for example, the special game medium capturing unit 60 in FIG. 3).

  According to the second invention, the same effects as those of the first invention can be obtained, and the medal dropped into the medal dropping slot, the first special game medium, and the second special game medium can be selected. Therefore, as a player, it is only necessary to drop what is placed on the medal placement surface into the medal drop opening, so that it meets the demand for this kind of game where the game is easy to understand and hesitate to play.

The first special game medium and the second special game medium can be dropped between the two linear bodies. Then, the second special game medium can be captured as if it were supported by rails with only the upper two linear bodies. The capture structure is very simple. In addition, since the distance between the upper two linear bodies and the linear bodies provided below the center thereof is less than the size of the first special game medium, they form a bowl to form the first special game. By capturing the medium, it is possible to reliably capture the small first special game medium.

  According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, each linear body is provided to be inclined in the same direction, and a storage section (for example, storing the captured first and second special game media on the inclined downstream end side of the linear body). The medal game device according to the sixth or seventh invention, comprising the first special game medium stock unit 64 and the second special game medium stock unit 65) of FIG.

  According to the eighth invention, the same effects as those of the sixth or seventh invention are achieved, and each linear body is provided to be inclined in the same direction at an angle at which the first and second special game media can naturally roll. Thus, the captured first and second special game media can be naturally collected in a predetermined storage unit. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a special mechanism for collecting the first and second special game media dropped on the medal drop opening, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the maintenance can be omitted.

  According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, each linear body is provided so as to be inclined in the same direction, and one of the upper two linear bodies and the lower linear body are recovered on the inclined downstream end side of the linear body.

Embodiment
Embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, a pusher-type medal game device using a metal medal as a game medium will be described as an example.

[Device configuration]
FIG. 1 is a front external view showing an example of the configuration of the medal game device 1000 in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the medal game device 1000 in the present embodiment defines a game space GS surrounded by a transparent cover glass 2, and the front end of the game space GS is directed above the medal drop opening 4. The so-called “pusher type” includes an extended fixed table 6 and a pusher table 8 which extends along the upper surface of the fixed table 6 and periodically reciprocates along the upper surface. The basic configuration is classified as a medal game device. Usually, a number of medals M are placed in advance on the upper surfaces of the fixed table 6 and the pusher table 8 by the managers of the gaming apparatus 1000 before the game starts.

  In the following description, the vertical and horizontal directions will be described as vertical and horizontal directions toward FIG. That is, it is the same as the up / down / left / right direction for the player who plays the medal game device. However, with respect to the front-rear direction, the description will be made with the back as the rear and the front of the hand as the front as viewed in FIG. That is, with the fixed table 6 as a reference, the direction of the medal drop opening 4 will be described as the front, and the opposite direction will be described as the rear.

  Now, when the player inserts a new medal M into the medal insertion slot 10, the passage sensor 14 detects the passage of the medal while the inserted medal M is accommodated in the medal accommodating portion 12. When the passage of the medals M is detected, the same number of medals M as the number of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 10 are provided from the medal container 12 to the ceiling of the game space GS by a known transport mechanism. 16 is conveyed. Also, the medals stored in the medal storage unit 16 are ejected from the medal ejection device 18 almost as many times as the medals M are detected by the passage sensor 14.

  The medals injected from the medal injection device 18 are dropped and inserted into the game space GS from the new medal insertion slot 20. The medal M placed in the game space GS flows down while hitting a nail 26 or the like standing between the game board 22 and the cover glass 24 and eventually falls on the upper surface of the pusher table 8.

  The pusher table 8 is slidably mounted on the fixed table 6 so as to enter and exit from an insertion port 28 (entrance / exit) provided at the lower end of the game board 22, and is mounted on the back side of the game board 22. A known reciprocating mechanism (not shown) periodically reciprocates in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus.

  When the pusher table 8 moves backward (retreats) so as to slide on the fixed table 6, the medals placed on the upper surface of the pusher table 8 move backward together. When the pusher table 8 is pulled back into the insertion hole 28 as it moves backward, the extension length of the pusher table 8 is shortened by the amount moved backward. Accordingly, the medal placed behind the upper surface of the pusher table 8 hits the periphery of the insertion hole 28 and is pushed relatively forward. Then, the other medals placed on the pusher table 8 are also pushed forward in a chain-like manner, and finally the medals M placed on the front end side fall on the fixed table 6.

  Further, as the pusher table 8 advances (extrusion operation), the front end surface functions as an extruding portion, and the medal M that falls on the upper surface of the fixed table 6 and is placed on the fixed table 6 is pushed onto the pusher table 8. Been moving forward. Then, this time, the medal placed on the fixed table 6 is pushed forward in a ball shape.

  The front end of the fixed table 6 is provided with an inclined portion 9 inclined toward the upper side of the medal drop opening 4, and the medal pushed forward climbs along the inclined portion 9. While climbing, the medal M is inclined with respect to the upper surface of the fixed table 6. When the medal M is pushed further forward and overcomes the inclination of the inclined portion 9, it falls to the medal drop opening 4.

  The bottom of the medal drop opening 4 communicates with a passage 82 having a passage sensor 84 similar to the passage sensor 14 described above. The medal M dropped to the medal drop opening 4 is accommodated in the medal accommodating portion 12 through the passage 82. Then, as many medals as the number of medals M detected when passing through the passage, medals accommodated in the medal accommodating part 12 are conveyed to the acquired medal payout opening 30 by a known conveying mechanism (not shown), and a medal tray 32 is obtained. Will be paid out.

  In addition, the fixed table 6 has an upper surface whose front end, that is, the lateral width of the medal dropping end is set wider than the lateral width of the pusher table 8, and is widened to the left and right as it goes from the vicinity of the advance limit position of the pusher table 8 to the front side. The shape to make. And the side medal drop opening 11 into which only the medal M can enter is provided on the left and right side wall portions of the widened portion. The medal M that has fallen into the side medal dropping slot 11 is accommodated in the medal accommodating portion 12 (not shown) and is not paid out to the medal tray 32.

  Now, the medal game device 1000 in the present embodiment has a lottery function, and when a special bonus is won by lottery, a predetermined number of medals as a bonus are discharged from the special payout outlet 40 as a privilege onto the pusher table 8. In this embodiment, the lottery execution timing is determined using the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 that are different from the medal M. In the present embodiment, the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 have the same external features, but the second special game medium 200 is larger and both have different colors. ing.

Next, the external features of the first special game medium 100 will be described on behalf of the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the external features of the first special game medium 100 in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2A, the first special game medium 100 is a polyhedron having a substantially spherical shape formed of a light-transmitting resin, and the total height is more than twice the thickness of the medal M. If it has a rolling element and has an inclination, it can roll naturally. However, the special game medium of the present embodiment is covered with a large number of triangular planes 102 around the entire rolling surface. This triangular plane 102 maintains a stationary state without starting rolling by its own weight even when it is placed on a slope in a range from the horizontal to the stationary limit angle θ when the plane is a ground contact surface. That is, the range from horizontal to the stationary limit angle θ is a non-rolling inclination angle range that does not roll naturally.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, the stationary limit angle θ is larger than the inclined surface angle θm in which the medal M is inclined by the inclined portion 9 of the fixed table 6. Is set. That is, even if the first special game medium 100 is placed on the medals accumulated at the inclined portion 9, it is set so as not to roll naturally. Of course, when the surface on which the first special game medium 100 is placed has an angle θn larger than the stationary limit angle θ, as shown in FIG. It will go down the slope.

  The number of triangular planes 102 of the first special game medium 100 can be set as appropriate. Further, the planar shape is not limited to a triangle, and may be another polygon such as a pentagon or a hexagon, or a circle.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the first special game medium 100 is discharged and supplied from the first special game medium supply unit 66 provided in the game space GS to the upper surface of the pusher table 8. Further, the second special game medium 200 having the same external features is discharged / supplied from the second special game medium supply unit 67 provided in the game space GS to the upper surface of the fixed table 6.

  The first special game medium 100 discharged from the first special game medium supply unit 66 is placed directly on the upper surface of the pusher table 8 or placed on the medal M placed on the upper surface of the pusher table 8. . Then, the first special game medium 100 is pushed out to the fixed table 6 as the pusher table 8 moves back and forth. Similarly, the second special game medium 200 discharged from the second special game medium supply unit 67 is directly placed on the upper surface of the fixed table 6 or placed on the medal M placed on the upper surface of the fixed table 6. It becomes a state.

  The first special game medium 100 on the pusher table 8 is moved together with the medal M on the pusher table 8 as the pusher table 8 moves back and forth, and the first special game medium 100 and the second special game on the fixed table 6 are moved. The medium 200 moves along with the medal M toward the medal drop opening 4. When the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 fall into the medal drop opening 4, the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 that have fallen are detected, and the lottery process is executed by the control unit 50. .

  The control unit 50 is equipped with electronic / electrical components such as a CPU (central processing unit) 52 and an IC memory 54. The CPU 52 executes various arithmetic processes according to a program stored in advance in the IC memory 54, and the medal Control of each part of the game apparatus 1000 is executed.

  The control unit 50 executes a first lottery process and a second lottery process as the lottery process in the present embodiment. The first lottery process is a first privilege grant process that is executed on condition that the first special game medium 100 dropped to the medal drop opening 4 is detected. For example, the liquid crystal display 44 embedded in the game board 22 controls the display of the screen in which the triple slot 46 rotates, and displays the outcome corresponding to the lottery result. If the special bonus is won as a result of the lottery, display control is performed with three same types of symbols aligned, for example, “777”. Further, when the special bonus is won, the medal injection device 19 of the medal storage unit 16 is operated, and a predetermined number of medals M are discharged from the special payout port 40 communicating with the medal injection device 19 to the upper surface of the pusher table 8. To control.

The second lottery process is a second privilege grant process that is executed on condition that the second special game medium 200 dropped to the medal drop opening 4 is detected. For example, the display control of the roulette 48 is performed on the liquid crystal display 44, and the roulette result corresponding to the start-up and lottery results is displayed.
In the example shown in the figure, a roulette 48 is composed of a small circle mark and a star mark displayed in a circle shape, and display control is performed as if any one mark is lit as the roulette is started. . Then, the display position is controlled so that the lighting position moves clockwise until the roulette stops, and the lighting position stops at the lottery position. When the bonus is won, the lighting position is displayed to stop at the star mark, and the probability of winning the first lottery bonus has been changed so as to be temporarily higher. Mode ". If the first special game medium 100 can be dropped on the medal drop opening 4 during the “probability change mode”, a bonus can be applied with a high probability in the first lottery, so that the “motivation” of the player is improved. Can do.

[Explanation of circulation mechanism]
Next, a circulation mechanism for collecting and selecting the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 so as to be circulated will be described.
FIG. 3 is a perspective perspective view for explaining the outline of the circulation mechanism of the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 in the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional perspective view for explaining the outline of the circulation mechanism, and shows a state in which the inside of the right side portion of the gaming apparatus 1000 is viewed from the front. FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a cross-section in the front-rear direction of the special game medium capturing unit included in the circulation mechanism.

  The medal game device 1000 according to the present embodiment is a special game medium capturing unit 60 and a special game medium capturing unit 60 that are used as a circulation mechanism for the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200. The first special game medium stock unit 64 in which the special game medium 100 enters and is stored and stored by natural rolling, and the first special game medium 100 stored and stored in the first special game medium stock unit 64 are the first. And a first replenishment unit 68 for replenishing one special game medium supply unit 66. Furthermore, the second special game medium stock unit 65 in which the second special game medium 200 captured and selected by the special game medium capture unit 60 enters, is stored and stored by natural rolling, and the second special game medium stock unit. And a second replenishing unit 69 that replenishes the second special game medium 200 stored and stored in the second special game medium supply unit 67. A passage sensor 62 for detecting the passage of the first special game medium 100 is provided in the vicinity of the entrance of the first special game medium stock unit 64, and in the vicinity of the entrance of the second special game medium stock unit 65, A passage sensor 63 that detects passage of the second special game medium 200 is provided.

Then, each structure of a circulation mechanism is demonstrated in order.
The special game medium capturing unit 60 sorts the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 and the medal M that have fallen into the medal drop opening 4, and only the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200. To capture. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, it is formed by three rods 60a, 60b, 60c stretched in the left-right direction immediately below the opening end in the medal drop opening 4, It is inclined and arranged so that the left side is higher and the right side is lower toward the front of 1000. The inclination angle is larger than the static limit angle θ of the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200.

The three rods of the special game medium capturing unit 60 are arranged at the vertices of the downward triangle in the front-rear cross-sectional view, and the upper two rods 60a and 60b corresponding to both upper sides of the downward triangle are arranged substantially in parallel. Yes.
The gaps G1 and G2 between the upper two rods 60a and 60b and the wall surface of the medal drop opening 4 are less than half the size of the first special game medium 100. Further, the gaps G3 and G4 between the upper two rods 60a and 60b and the central rod 60c are less than the size of the first special game medium 100. Accordingly, the medal M passes through the special game medium capturing unit 60 and falls, but the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 are set so as not to pass.

  On the other hand, the gap G5 between the upper two rods 60a and 60b is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the first special game medium 100, but smaller than the diameter of the second special game medium 200 and set so as not to slip through. ing. Therefore, the second special game medium 200 captured by the special game medium capturing unit 60 remains on the upper two rods 60a and 60b so as to be supported by the rails, and the first special game medium 100 includes the upper two lines. Slips between the two rods 60a and 60b and enters a cage formed by the upper two rods 60a and 60b and the central rod 60c, and either one of the upper two rods 60a and 60b and the central rod 60c It will be dressed as a rail.

  The right end of the central rod 60c has a tilt angle increasing portion 60d having a downward tilt angle increased just before the entrance 80 into the right side of the gaming apparatus 1000 opened in the right side wall of the medal insertion slot 4. The right end of the inclined angle increasing portion 60d is fixed to the lower end of the entrance 80. On the other hand, the right ends of the upper two rods 60 a and 60 b extend further to the inside of the right side of the gaming apparatus 1000 than the entrance 80.

The left ends of the rods 60a, 60b, 60c pass through a sufficiently large insertion hole with respect to the rod diameter provided in the left inner wall of the medal insertion slot 4, and are fixed to the inside of the housing or connected to the load sensors 61a, 61b, 61c, respectively.・ Supported.
When a downward force is applied to the central rod 60c, the left end side of the rod 60c is displaced downward with its right end as a fulcrum. The load sensor 61c is activated by this displacement and detects the force / load currently acting on the rod 60c. Similarly, the load sensors 61a and 61b detect forces and weights acting on the rods 60a and 60b. Each load sensor outputs a detection signal to the control unit 50.

As described above, the load of the first special game medium 100 is applied to the central rod 60c by the interval setting between the rods 60a, 60b, 60c, but the load of the second special game body 200 is not applied. On the contrary, although the load of the second special game medium 200 is applied to the upper two rods 60a and 60b, the load of the first special game body 100 is not applied. The first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 each have a prescribed weight.
Accordingly, it is possible to determine how many second special game media 200 are loaded on the special game medium capturing unit 60 and how many second special game media 200 are loaded from the current load and load change acting on the load sensors 61a and 61b in the control unit 50. . Similarly, it is possible to determine how many first special game media 100 are loaded in the special game medium capturing unit 60 and how many are loaded from the current load and load change acting on the load sensor 61c.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a first special game medium stock unit 64 and a second special game medium stock unit 65 are provided immediately after entering the entrance 80. The first special game medium stock part 64 and the second special game medium stock part 65 both have a long hook in the front-rear direction inclined toward the rear (in the rear direction in the drawing in FIG. 4) at an angle larger than the stationary limit angle θ. Forming. An inclined upstream side of the first special game medium stock unit 64 is adjacent to the entrance 80, and the first special game medium 100 is connected to be able to enter. The right ends of the rods 60a and 60b on both upper sides cross above the first special game medium stock part 64 at a position higher than the diameter of the first special game medium 100, and are connected to the second special game medium stock part 65. It is fixed near the entrance 65a.

  Therefore, when the medal M, the first special game medium 100, and the second special game medium 200 fall into the medal drop opening 4, the medal M continues to fall through the special game medium capturing unit 60 and is stored in the funnel-shaped passage 82. It is guided to the part 12 and accommodated. The passage 82 is provided with a passage sensor 84 similar to the passage sensor 14, and can detect the passage of the medal M that has fallen into the medal drop opening 4 (see FIG. 3). The passage sensor 84 outputs a detection signal to the control unit 50.

  On the other hand, the first special game medium 100 that has fallen into the medal drop opening 4 is captured by the downward triangular trap formed by the special game medium capture unit 60. The first special game medium 100 enters between the upper two rods 60a and 60b, naturally rolls while the lower end is applied to the central rod 60c, and enters the right side device of the game device 1000 from the entrance 80. . Since the height from the inner bottom surface of the first special game medium stock portion 64 to the rods 60a and 60b intersecting above is larger than the diameter of the first special game medium 100, the first special game medium entered from the entrance 80 100 enters the first special game medium stock section 64 as it is, and is accommodated while rolling so as to pass under the rods 60a and 60b.

  In addition, the second special game medium 200 that has fallen into the medal drop opening 4 is captured by the downward triangular trap formed by the special game medium capture unit 60, but the gap G5 between the upper two rods 60a and 60b is the second. Since it is smaller than the diameter of the special game medium 200, it rolls naturally so as to roll on the rail while the lower surfaces of the left and right sides are applied to the rods 60a and 60b. Enter the right side device of 1000. Since the right ends of the rods 60a and 60b straddle over the first special game medium stock part 64, the second special game medium 200 crosses the first special game medium stock part 64, and the second special game medium stock part. Enter 65.

  That is, the first special game medium 100 captured by the special game medium capturing unit 60 and the arrangement of the three rods constituting the special game medium capturing unit 60 and the structure around the right end of the special game medium capturing unit 60 The second special game medium 200 is selected, and the former is stored in the first special game medium stock unit 64 and the latter is stored in the second special game medium stock unit 65.

  The first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium stock unit 64 and the second special game medium stock unit 65 that are inclined and upstream of the first special game medium stock unit 64 and captured by the special game medium capture unit 60 and entered into each stock unit, and A passage sensor 62 and a passage sensor 63 that detect passage of the second special game medium body 200 are provided.

  The passage sensor 62 and the passage sensor 63 are means for detecting the passage of an object. For example, a sensor that detects the passage of an object by combining a light projecting element and a light receiving element, or a distance from an ultrasonic reflection time. This can be realized by a distance sensor or the like. Alternatively, a swing switch that swings by the force of the rolling first special game medium 100 or the second special game medium body 200 may be used. Then, the detection signal of the passage sensor 62 is output to the control unit 50.

  The control unit 50 receives the detection signal from the load sensor 61c or the passage sensor 62, and the first special game medium 100 has fallen into the medal drop opening 4 and is captured by the special game medium capturing unit 60, or the first special game medium 100 is detected. The first lottery process is executed in response to being accommodated in the game medium stock unit 64. Similarly, in response to a detection signal from the load sensors 61a, 61b or the passage sensor 63, the second special game medium 200 has been captured by the special game medium capture unit 60 or is accommodated in the second special game medium stock unit 65. As a result, the control unit 50 executes the second lottery process.

  If the detection signals from the load sensors 61a, 61b, and 61c are used as an opportunity to execute the lottery process, the lottery is executed at the timing when the first special game medium 100 or the second special game medium 200 falls on the medal drop opening 4. Because you can, you can speed up the game. On the other hand, if the detection signal from the passage sensor 62 or the passage sensor 63 is used as an opportunity for executing the lottery process, the lottery process stores the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 in each special game medium stock unit. It will be executed after being done. For the player, it is said that the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 captured by the special game medium capturing unit 60 roll up until the lottery is executed. You can enjoy the fun. Any form may be taken. Alternatively, the first lottery process and the second lottery process can be executed using the detection signals from 61a, 61b, and 61c as the start of the lottery and the passing sensors 62 and 63 as the stop timing of the respective lotteries.

  Now, the 1st supplementary part 68 is arrange | positioned at the inclination downward side of the 1st special game medium stock part 64, and the 1st special game medium 100 stocked by the 1st special game medium stock part 64 is in the inclination direction. It is configured such that it is always supplied to the first replenishment unit 68 by rolling down naturally.

  The first replenishment unit 68 is fixed to an eccentric cam 68b driven by a motor 68a and a slider of a linear motion device 68c arranged in the vertical direction, and is reciprocated in the vertical direction as the eccentric cam 68b rotates. A special game medium pusher 68d and a fall prevention piece 68e that holds the position of the first special game medium 100 are provided.

  The operation of the motor 68a is controlled by the control unit 50, and is moved each time a predetermined number (for example, 30) of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 10, for example, to rotate the eccentric cam 68b once.

  When the eccentric cam 68b is in the minimum lift state, the upper surface of the special game media pusher 68d is almost at the same height or lower than the bottom surface of the first special game media stock portion 64, and The first special game medium 100 that naturally rolls due to the inclination is guided onto the special game medium pusher 68d.

  The fall prevention piece 68e is an elastic piece provided at each of the left and right fixed positions with the special game medium pusher 68d interposed therebetween, and its upper end is bent toward the special game medium pusher 68d, and the special game medium pusher 68d. The first special game medium 100 guided upward is prevented from dropping downward. That is, when the lift of the eccentric cam 68b increases, the special game medium pusher 68d slides upward along the installation direction (vertical direction) of the linear motion device 68c while the first special game medium 100 is placed on the upper surface. The special game medium 100 is pushed up. At this time, as the first special game medium 100 is pushed up, the fall prevention pieces 68e are each pushed outward. Further, when the first special game medium 100 is pushed up and the tip of the fall prevention piece 68e turns to the lower surface side of the first special game medium 100, the pushed up tip returns to its original posture due to elasticity. Then, the left and right drop prevention pieces 68e are closed so that the front ends thereof face each other, and function to prevent the fall by supporting the pushed first special game medium 100 from below. The special game medium pusher 68d moves downward by its own weight when the lift of the eccentric cam 68b decreases.

  The lower end of the cylindrical passage 66a of the first special game medium supply unit 66 is disposed immediately above the special game medium pusher 68d, and the first special game medium 100 pushed up by the special game medium pusher 68d is in the cylindrical passage 66a. The first special game medium 100 that is inserted is prevented from dropping by the fall prevention piece 68e.

  Since only a predetermined number of first special game media 100 are accommodated in the cylindrical passage 66a, when a new first special game media 100 is inserted from below by the special game media pusher 68d, the first special game media already contained therein is accommodated. One of the game media 100 located at the top is pushed out of the upper opening end.

  The upper end of the first special game medium supply unit 66, that is, the upper end of the cylindrical passage 66a protrudes to the side of the pusher table 8 in the game space GS, and the first special game medium GS is pushed up from the opening end of the cylindrical passage 66a. A supply guide 66b for guiding the game medium 100 to drop onto the pusher table 8 is provided. Therefore, when the first special game medium 100 accommodated in the cylindrical passage 66a is pushed out from the upper opening end, the first special game medium 100 rolls and falls while being guided by the supply guide 66b, and is supplied onto the pusher table 8. Accordingly, each time a predetermined number of medals are inserted from the medal insertion slot 10, a new first special game medium 100 is supplied onto the pusher table 8.

  Similarly, the second supplemental portion 69 is arranged on the lower side of the second special game medium stock unit 65 so that the second special game medium 200 stocked in the second special game medium stock unit 65 is inclined. It is configured to always be supplied to the second replenishing unit 69 by naturally rolling in the direction.

  The second replenishing portion 69 is fixed to an eccentric cam 69b driven by a motor 69a and a slider of a linear motion device 69c arranged in the vertical direction, and is reciprocated in the vertical direction as the eccentric cam 69b rotates. A special game medium pusher 69d and a fall prevention piece 69e that holds the position of the second special game medium 200 are provided.

  The operation of the motor 69a is controlled by the control unit 50. For example, the motor 69a is moved each time a predetermined number (for example, 50) of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 10 is counted, and the eccentric cam 69b is rotated once.

  In the state where the eccentric cam 69b is at the minimum lift, the upper surface of the special game medium pusher 69d is at almost the same height or lower than the bottom surface of the second special game medium stock part 65. The second special game medium 200 naturally rolled by the inclination is guided onto the special game medium pusher 69d.

  Like the fall prevention piece 68e, the fall prevention piece 69e is an elastic piece provided at each of the left and right fixed positions with the special game medium pusher 69d interposed therebetween, and the upper end is bent toward the special game medium pusher 69d. The second special game medium 200 guided upward by the special game medium pusher 69d is prevented from dropping downward.

  The lower end of the cylindrical passage 67a of the second special game medium supply unit 67 is arranged immediately above the special game medium pusher 69d, and the second special game medium 200 pushed up by the special game medium pusher 69d is in the cylindrical passage 67a. The inserted second special game medium 200 is prevented from falling by the fall prevention piece 69e.

  Since only a predetermined number of second special game media 200 are accommodated in the cylindrical passage 67a, when a new second special game media 200 is inserted from below by the special game media pusher 69d, the second special game media already contained is accommodated. One of the game media 200 located at the top is pushed out of the upper opening end.

  The upper end of the second special game medium supply section 67, that is, the upper end of the cylindrical passage 67a protrudes to the side of the fixed table 6 in the game space GS, and the second special game medium GS pushed up from the opening end of the cylindrical passage 67a at the tip. A supply guide 67b for guiding the game medium 200 to drop onto the fixed table 6 is provided. Therefore, when the stored second special game medium 200 is pushed out from the upper opening end, the second special game medium 200 rolls and falls while being guided by the supply guide 67 b and is supplied onto the pusher table 8. Accordingly, each time a predetermined number of medals are inserted from the medal insertion slot 10, a new second special game medium 200 is supplied onto the fixed table 6.

[Description of special game media guide structure]
Next, the special game medium guiding structure, which is one of the features of this embodiment, will be described.
The pusher table 8 in the present embodiment is placed on the fixed table 6 and a drop guide plate 70 that guides the first special game medium 100 that falls to the upper surface of the fixed table 6 toward the center of the fixed table 6. A rolling guide plate 72 that pushes and moves the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 toward the center of the fixed table 6 is provided.

  6A and 6B are diagrams showing a configuration example of the drop guide plate 70 and the rolling guide plate 72 in the present embodiment, where FIG. 6A is a top view, and FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA. To do. Since the fixed table 6 and the pusher table 8 are symmetrical, only the left side of the symmetrical portion is shown in the top view of FIG. FIG. 6A shows a state in which the pusher table 8 is at the most advanced position.

  As shown in the figure, the drop guide plates 70 are plate-like members provided at the left and right ends of the pusher table 8, and form a triangle when viewed from above. The first side of the triangle (the vertical side in FIG. 6A) is along the front-rear direction and is located near the side edge of the pusher table 8, and the second side (left and right in FIG. 6A). Direction side) is along the front end face of the pusher table 8. The remaining third side 70c faces diagonally forward. In other words, the pusher table 8 has a shape that is projected from the front end 8a to the front and is longest on the left and right ends of the pusher table 8 and gradually decreases toward the center. 6B, when viewed from the front, it can be said that the drop guide plate 70 is attached toward the center of the upper surface of the fixed table 6. Further, the drop guide plate 70 is attached so that the plate surface is inclined downward toward the center of the upper surface of the fixed table 6 and the inclination angle α is larger than the stationary limit angle θ. It has been.

  In this embodiment, the thickness of the pusher table 8 is sufficiently larger than the thickness of the medal M. On the front end surface 8a of the pusher table 8, the drop guide plate 70 is on the upper side, and the rolling guide plate 72 is on the upper side. It is fixed on the lower side. The drop guide plate 70 is fixed so that the plate surface is gently inclined toward the center of the upper surface of the fixed table 6, while the rolling guide plate 72 is fixed substantially horizontally.

  The rolling guide plate 72 is a plate member provided at the left and right ends of the front end 8a of the pusher table 8 and below the drop guide plate 70. When viewed from above, the rolling guide plate 72 forms a triangle slightly larger than the drop guide plate 70. Yes. The first side of the triangle (the vertical side in FIG. 6A) is along the front-rear direction and is located near the side edge of the pusher table 8, and the second side (left and right in FIG. 6A). Direction side) is along the front end face 8 a of the pusher table 8. The remaining third side 72c faces diagonally forward. Further, a space S larger than the thickness of the medal M is secured below the rolling guide plate 72, and the medal M placed on the upper surface of the fixed table 6 passes under the space S and is a pusher table. 8 is pushed by the front end face 8a.

Further, in the fixed table 6 of this embodiment, a screw 74 for forming a bulge on the upper surface is screwed into an attachment hole 76 drilled on the upper surface so that the projecting dimension can be adjusted.
When viewed from above (that is, in FIG. 6A), the position of the screw 74 is in the vicinity of the boundary 78 between the widened portion 6a in which the lateral width of the fixed table 6 expands and the specified width portion 6b in which the lateral width is constant, In addition, the pusher table 8 is provided in front of the position of the rolling guide plate 72 at the most advanced position. More specifically, the screw 74 is located in front of the rolling guide plate 72 and is disposed outside the center of the left and right of the rolling guide plate 72. In addition, although the protrusion dimension of the screw 74 from the upper surface of the fixed table 6 can be set as appropriate, the stationary limit angle θ of the first special game medium 100 is not exceeded when the end of the medal M rides on the screw. The degree should be a guide.

  FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the movement of the first special game medium 100 according to the special game medium guide structure in the present embodiment, and corresponds to a top view around the fixed table 6 and the pusher table 8. In the figure, the lower side corresponds to the front of the apparatus, and the upper side of the figure corresponds to the rear of the apparatus. FIG. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. Further, these drawings illustrate the state in which the pusher table 8 is at the most advanced position.

  The first special game medium 100 supplied from the first special game medium supply unit 66 onto the pusher table 8 is placed on the medal M placed on the pusher table 8 or directly on the upper surface of the pusher table 8. It becomes a state. When the pusher table 8 moves backward from this state, the medal M placed on the rear of the upper surface of the pusher table 8 hits the periphery of the insertion hole 28 and is pushed relatively forward, and the other pusher table 8 is placed on the front side. The medal M is pushed and moved while being in a ball-thrust state. The first special game medium 100 moves forward as these medals M are pushed forward, and eventually falls from the front end to the upper surface of the fixed table 6.

  At this time, the first special game medium 100a falling from the vicinity of the center of the front end 8a of the pusher table 8 is dropped as it is, but the upper surface of the drop guide plate 70 is at a static limit angle of the first special game medium 100b falling from the left and right ends. Since the inclined surface is inclined with respect to θ, it rolls on the drop guide plate 70 and is placed closer to the center of the fixed table 6 than when the drop guide plate 70 is not provided. The medal placed on the fixed table 6 is provided with the inclined portion 9 at the front end portion of the fixed table 6, but due to the effect that the inclined portion 9 is not provided at the side medal drop opening 11. , Forming a flow that spreads left and right while being pushed forward. However, since the first special game medium 100b is placed closer to the center due to rolling / falling from the drop guide plate 70, it is difficult to be biased to the left and right sides of the fixed table 6.

  Further, even if the first special game medium 100 is rolled toward the center of the fixed table 6 by the drop guide plate 70, it is not always located near the center of the fixed table 6 depending on the movement of the medal M. It is also conceivable that the case where the left and right ends of the fixed table 6 are approached may occur. The same applies to the second special game medium 200 supplied to the upper surface of the fixed table 6.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as the pusher table 8 moves forward, the rolling guide plate 72 pushes the first special game medium 100c of FIG. To solve this. That is, when the pusher table 8 moves forward and the front end surface of the rolling guide plate 72 (corresponding to the third side 72c in FIG. 6) comes into contact with the first special game medium 100c, the direction of the front end surface is directed. That is, the first special game medium 100c can be rolled toward the center of the fixed table 6 to correct the placement position toward the center. The same applies to the second special game medium 200.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the head of the screw 74 protrudes from the upper surface of the fixed table 6 in the height direction, the medal M trying to slide on the screw 74 passes the screw 74. . For this reason, the medals M in the peripheral region 79 of the screw 74 are in an inclined posture and are slightly raised. In the present embodiment, the screw 74 is located in front of the rolling guide plate 72 and is disposed outside the center of the right and left of the rolling guide plate 72. That is, the slope toward the center of the fixed table 6 is widely formed. Therefore, as described above, when the first special game medium 100c is pushed diagonally forward (in the central direction of the fixed table 6) by the rolling guide plate 72, it follows the slope in the central direction of the bulge of medals in the peripheral region 79. Therefore, the first special game medium 100c is configured to roll on this slope. For this reason, it becomes possible to approach the center of the fixed table 6 more reliably. The same applies to the second special game medium 200.

  Now, the first special game medium 100c pushed to the widened area of the fixed table 6 is eventually pushed to the medal drop end of the fixed table 6, and becomes, for example, the state of the first special game medium 100d of FIG. Since the inclined portion 9 is formed at the end of the medal dropping, the medal M has to overcome the inclination. Resistance for overcoming the inclination is born, and the medals M are inclined so that they are piled up one after another.

However, the first special game medium 100d has a large number of rolling surfaces and is set so as not to roll spontaneously at an inclination up to the stationary limit angle θ. In other words, from the relationship between the width of the inclined surface of the inclined portion 9 in the front-rear direction and the diameter of the medal so that the angle formed by the upper surfaces of the medals deposited in the vicinity of the inclined portion 9 does not reach the stationary limit angle θ. It can also be said that the inclination angle that can be taken by the medal <the “static limit angle θ” is set to be satisfied.
Therefore, even if the medals M are deposited in an inclined posture at the inclined portion 9, the first special game medium 100d remains on the medals M without being retracted by natural rolling, and the medals drop opening 4 together with the accumulated medals group. The special game medium capturing unit 60 will fall. The same applies to the second special game medium 200.

Then, as described above, the medal M that has fallen into the medal dropping slot 4 passes through the special game medium capturing unit 60 and is accommodated in the medal accommodating unit 12, and the same number of medals are paid out from the acquired medal payout port 30.
On the other hand, the first special game medium 100 dropped on the medal drop opening 4 is captured and selected by the special game medium capturing unit 60 and stored in the first special game medium stock unit 64, and again the first special game medium supply unit. Circulate to 66. Further, the second special game medium 200 dropped on the medal drop opening 4 is captured and selected by the special game medium capturing unit 60 and stored in the second special game medium stock unit 65, and then circulated again to the second special game medium supply unit 67. To do.

  Further, the first special game medium 100 is detected by the load sensor 61 c and / or the passage sensor 62, and the first lottery process is executed by the control unit 50. Similarly, the second special game medium 200 is detected by the load sensor 61c and / or the passage sensor 63, and the control unit 50 executes the second lottery process. In other words, multiple types of lottery can be executed using multiple types of special game media, and different benefits can be given according to each lottery. be able to.

  In addition, the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200 in the present embodiment have optical transparency, and further have a large number of flat surfaces on the rolling surface. Therefore, since the illumination light from the outside is transmitted while being diffusely reflected on a large number of planes, it is visually shining, and the visual effect is much higher than when a ball is simply arranged as in the prior art.

[Description of modification]
As described above, the embodiments to which the present invention is applied have been described. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and components may be added, changed, and deleted as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention. .

  For example, in the above embodiment, two types of special game media are used, but three or more types may be used. If the number of types of lottery is increased accordingly, the progress of the game is further diversified and the game and entertainment are improved. Can do. Of course, a plurality of types of special game media may be set.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the special game medium capturing unit 60 is configured by three rods, but it is needless to say that four or more configurations may be employed. Moreover, it is good also as a cage | basket which provided not only the rod but net shape, and the insertion hole through which the medal M can pass. Further, the special game medium capturing unit 60 is configured to be able to capture both the first special game medium 100 and the second special game medium 200. Of course, it is good also as a structure provided in. In that case, the other special game medium is captured by a separate mechanism.

  Of course, multiple types of special game media may be set. As an example of the special game medium, the rolling surface is covered with a large number of planes. For example, as in the first special game medium 100f in FIG. 9A, a large number of concave portions are formed on the rolling surface (surface). 104 (for example, dimples) may be provided. In this case, the region surrounded by the periphery of the recess 104 corresponds to the plane of the first special game medium 100 of the above embodiment, and when placed on the inclined surface with the static limit angle θ, The size of the recess is appropriately set so as to enter the region.

  Moreover, it is good also as a form which provides many convex parts 106 in a rolling surface (surface) like the 1st special game medium 100g of FIG.9 (b). In this case, a plane defined by connecting the convex portions 106 that are ground contact points corresponds to the plane of the first special game medium 100 of the above embodiment. Alternatively, the same applies to a plane defined by connecting the convex portion 106 serving as a contact point and the contact point of the rolling surface. Furthermore, the convex portion 106 is not limited to a dot shape, and may be formed in a hook shape, and the entire rolling surface may be formed in a net shape and covered with a hook.

  When the medal M is a magnetic material, a magnet material may be molded on the rolling surface as in the first special game medium 100h of FIG. 9C. In this case, since the magnetic material 108 prevents natural rolling by the force that the medal is attracted to the medal by the magnetic force, the type (size and magnetic force) of the magnetic material 108 and the first special The weight of the game medium 100h is determined.

  In addition, the medal given as a result of the lottery is not limited to the form of being supplied to the pusher table 8, and a configuration of supplying it on the fixed table 6 may be added.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the 1st lottery process and the 2nd lottery process are made into the independent lottery process, this may be made into one. For example, the supply amount of the special game media is controlled so that the number of the second special game media 200 is reduced with respect to the number of the first special game media 100 placed on the fixed table 6 or the pusher table 8. Then, the control unit 50 counts the number of first special game bodies 100 detected by the load sensor 61c and / or the passage sensor 62, and executes a lottery process when the predetermined number k1 is reached.
