Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a configuration of a jackpot right generating device for a pachinko gaming machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A detection switch in the gaming machine that a pachinko ball is won in a specific part (holding part) provided on the game board surface of the pachinko machine or a pachinko ball is won in a specific part within a specific time. By detecting this, there is a type in which a predetermined big prize opening is opened and a hit state in which a predetermined prize ball is released to the player is generated. Here, the holding part is a part that can temporarily hold a pachinko ball, and it moves or rotates in a specific direction and has a property of a sorting body that has a function of distributing it to either a winning or losing game. Some of them have at the same time.
There are two types of pachinko machines of the above types. First, there is a so-called right-type pachinko machine (type 3 pachinko machine), which is associated with a variable symbol display, a start winning opening for starting it, a big winning opening that keeps opening in a big hit state, etc. When the hitting ball enters the starting winning opening, the display state of the variable symbol display is started to change, and if the display result of the stopped variable symbol display is a win, the jackpot right is generated and the jackpot The special winning opening is kept open for a certain period of time.
[0003]
Unlike the so-called fever-type pachinko machines (first-class pachinko machines), many of the third-class pachinko machines do not generate so-called jackpot rights only from the display result of the variable symbol display, and enter the start prize opening. When the pachinko ball is finally detected by the right generation detection switch, the right is generated. Here, to describe the detailed sequence up to the right generation, the first step of the premise that the jackpot right is generated is that the display result of the variable symbol display is a win, and then this variable symbol display The second stage is that a single pachinko ball, which has started to change the display state of the device, is sensed by the right detection switch. With this series of operations, the right generation is confirmed and the jackpot is achieved.
Also, in the second type pachinko machine (so-called Hikoki type), the presence of a pachinko ball in a specific part (holding part) or the presence of a pachinko ball is detected by a detection switch, and a predetermined big prize opening is opened. There is a type that generates a hit state in which a prize ball is released to a player.
[0004]
In the process of generating the jackpot right of the above-mentioned type 3 pachinko machine, if the preconditions for generating the right of the first stage are satisfied, the pachinko ball is inevitably detected by the detection switch of the right generation of the second stage, and the right is generated. This information is transmitted to the computer of the pachinko machine. This process is naturally predicted by the player, and it is assumed that there will be no obstacles during this period.
The same applies to the second type pachinko machine. As long as the pachinko ball enters the specific part (the holding part or the sorting body having the holding part) as the first stage, or at the specific position in the sorting body. As a matter of course, it is a natural expectation that the pachinko ball will be detected by the detection switch for generating the right in the second stage and will be in a hit state.
[0005]
However, pachinko spheres that have finished their role in the first stage are detected by the right-generation detection switch in the second stage through a predetermined path. Allow the ball to be free. Here, if a power failure occurs due to some trouble and the supply of electricity to the pachinko machine is cut off, the pachinko ball that satisfies the preconditions for the first stage right generation is not detected by the second stage right generation detection switch. As a result, the right of the jackpot is not generated and the information is lost due to the power failure, so the player's natural prediction is betrayed, and the pachinko parlor also has no information. Therefore, it becomes difficult to compensate for the loss.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention was created in view of the problems of the above-described technology, and its purpose is to make sure that a pachinko ball that satisfies the preconditions for generating a right is sensed by a detection switch for generating the right, and its premise. By holding the display status of the variable symbol display indicating that the conditions have been met and the detection information of the occurrence of rights without losing information, information such as jackpots when the power supply to the pachinko machine is interrupted due to a power failure, etc. It is.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, on the board of the gaming machine, a start winning opening, a symbol display machine, and a holding section are provided in order, and in order to keep the winning opening open for a certain period of time. When the pachinko ball enters the start winning opening, the pachinko ball moves to the holding unit via the winning display result by the symbol display device, and the winning unit wins A pachinko gaming machine that generates a winning right when the winning right generation detection switch senses the pachinko ball released in the winning direction as the direction rotates, and the winning right generation detection switch , while disposed adjacent said holding portion, wherein when the symbol display unit indicates per the pachinko ball in a state of being restrained in the holding portion to a position capable of detecting said right occurrence detection switch After rotating the holding unit, the rotation of the holding unit is stopped until the end of the hit state, and after the end of the hit state, the rotation of the holding unit having the pachinko ball is advanced, and the pachinko ball is moved from the holding unit. It is what is released. Moreover, the said holding | maintenance part stops rotation at the time of the said game machine operation | movement stop by a power failure, and hold | maintains the said pachinko ball of the state restrained by the said holding | maintenance part in the position which can be visually recognized. Further, a storage device for storing at least one of detection information of a right generation detection switch capable of supplying a backup power supply and determination of a device having a function of determining a display state of the symbol display or a result such as “winning” Is provided.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to a typical third type pachinko machine as an example. When the pachinko ball (10) enters the specific winning opening (1) arranged at the upper center of the gaming machine board surface, the ball falls and moves to the center rotating body (2) below. The center rotating body (2) has a hole (3.4) into which five pachinko balls enter, and one of them makes the hit hole (3) function as a start winning opening, and the pattern is inserted into the pachinko ball. The display state of the display (5.6.7) is changed. Since the center rotating body is always rotating, the ball that has entered the specific winning opening enters the hit hole (3) with a probability of 1/5.
The pachinko ball that has entered the contact hole falls and moves along a predetermined path below the center rotating body, and to the sorting body (holding part) (8) that holds the pachinko ball placed at the lower part on the gaming machine board surface. Moving. Here, if the result of the previous symbol display indicates a pre-defined “out of place”, the sorting body (8) rotates counterclockwise and does not generate a jackpot right, while the display result of the symbol display is If a pre-defined “winning” is indicated, the premise of right generation is satisfied, and the allocating body (8) is rotated to the right, resulting in the generation of right for the jackpot.
[0009]
In addition, the feature of the symbol display function is that there is a type that has a symbol display function that allows the player to visually recognize the result by determining the display result by a program provided inside itself, and on the other hand There is a type in which a device having a function of determining the result of the game and a device having a symbol display function by which a player can visually recognize the result are separately provided. In any type, the gaming machine is guided to the right generation of “winning” by determining the device having the function of determining the result such as “winning”, not the display state of the symbol display.
However, as mentioned above, the third type pachinko machine or a part of the second type pachinko machine will generate a right when the pachinko ball itself is finally sensed by the right generation detection switch. The display result of the vessel or the information on the direction of rotation of the allotment is not directly triggered.
[0010]
In the present invention, the detection of the occurrence of a right, in which a pachinko ball whose display state has been changed on the symbol display device is constrained by the right-rotating distribution body and is disposed in the vicinity of the right side of the distribution body (8). It is characterized by being sensed by the switch (9). Since the right generation detection switch (9) is disposed immediately before the ball discharge outlet of the sorting body (8), the ball is released from the sorting body after the pachinko ball is detected. The jackpot right generation is started based on this sensed information. Here, the right generation detection switch (9) may be a non-contact type capable of detecting a pachinko ball slightly apart, or may be sensed by contact with a metal plate or the like.
[0011]
With such a configuration, unlike the conventional example, the pachinko sphere whose display state on the symbol display is changed does not pass through a predetermined route, that is, the pachinko sphere in the meantime is freed from being released. The pachinko ball that satisfies the preconditions for generating the right can be reliably detected by the detection switch for generating the right. Further, while being restrained by the distribution body, the right generation detection switch (9) disposed adjacent to the right side of the distribution body (8) senses the right generation (FIG. 3). By holding the state as it is from the right generation until its end, that is, the rotation of the sorting body (8) is stopped, and after the jackpot state is finished, the sorting body (8) containing the pachinko ball is stopped. You may employ | adopt the structure which advances rotation and discharge | releases. In this configuration, even if there is a trouble such as a power failure immediately before or during the jackpot state, the pachinko ball remains at the position indicating the jackpot, so it can be visually confirmed that the jackpot state was present before the power failure. It is also effective when a game store compensates for a big hit or when backup information listed below is lost, and can smoothly respond to continuation of the game after a power failure recovery.
Further, by supplying backup power to a storage device that stores at least one of determination of a device having a function of determining the detection information of the pachinko sphere and the display state of the symbol display or the result such as “winning”, Information was not lost.
[0012]
Therefore, even if the supply of electricity to the pachinko machine is interrupted due to a power failure or the like at any time during the play of the pachinko machine, it is easy and reliable to determine whether or not to proceed to the jackpot right generation.
In other words, even if the pachinko ball whose display state has been changed on the symbol display is in the sorting body (8) and the game machine stops operating, the ball remains in a restrained state. It is possible to visually recognize whether or not the rotation is progressing, and the problem that it is not possible to determine whether or not the pachinko ball has passed the right generation detection switch as in the prior art is solved.
[0013]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention detects the pachinko sphere with the right-occurring detection switch before releasing the pachinko sphere from the allocating body. Will not be released from. In addition, by supplying backup power to the storage device that stores the detection information of the detection switch of the right generation and the display state of the symbol display device, the game continues normally and smoothly when power is restored without losing the information. can do.
[0014]
Furthermore, even if the backup power supply does not operate normally, a detection switch is provided immediately before the ball outlet of the sorting body, so that when the power is restored, the detection switch detects the pachinko ball and then from the sorting body. By releasing the sphere, it is possible to prevent the detection switch from being undetected.
