Thus, there is an advantage that the cost can be reduced and the assembling work can be simplified as compared with the case where the passage forming portion is provided as a separate member. Then, by providing the ball guide passage on the main body frame side, the passage formation portion can be reused when the game board is replaced, which can contribute to cost reduction. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to form a ball guide path in the game board, the configuration of the game board can be simplified. Furthermore, by providing the launch port member, it is only necessary to open a mounting hole that opens in the front and rear directions in the game board, and therefore there is an advantage that the processing of the game board becomes easy.

That is, the pachinko ball S launched along the launch rail 35 enters the ball guide passage 40 through the start opening 40a and is guided to the change guide member 42 through the end opening 40b. It has become so.

前記変更案内部材４２は、図５または図６に示すように、前記遊技盤２０に開設した取付孔２３に挿入可能な本体部４３と、該本体部４３に形成されて前記球案内通路４０の終端開口部４０ｂに連通する第１変更通路(第１変更部)４４と、本体部４３に形成されて第１変更通路４４に連通し、遊技盤２０の遊技領域２１に開口する第２変更通路(第２変更部)４５と、本体部４３に形成され、遊技盤２０の表面２０ａに当接して位置決めするフランジ部(遊技盤取付用フランジ)４３ａとから構成されている。ここで、前記フランジ部４３ａには、複数箇所に通孔４３ｂが穿設されており、該通孔４３ｂを介して変更案内部材４２を遊技盤２０にネジ止めするようになっている。なお、前記本体部４３を遊技盤２０の取付孔２３に挿入して前記フランジ部４３ａを遊技盤２０の表面２０ａに当接させた際には、前記第１変更通路４４の球入口４４ａが前記球案内通路４０の終端開口部４０ｂに連通すると共に、前記第２変更通路４５の球出口４５ａが遊技盤２０の表面２０ａで開口するようになっている。すなわち、前記第２変更部材は、前記本体部４３の右方向に開口して、該第２変更通路４５の球出口４５ａがパチンコ球Ｓの発射口として機能する。そこで、以下の説明において、第２変更通路４５の球出口４５ａについては発射口と指称して説明する。 As shown in FIG. 5 or 6, the change guide member 42 includes a main body 43 that can be inserted into the mounting hole 23 established in the game board 20, and is formed in the main body 43 so as to A first change passage (first change portion) 44 that communicates with the end opening 40b, and a second change passage that is formed in the main body portion 43 and communicates with the first change passage 44 and opens into the game area 21 of the game board 20. (Second changing portion) 45 and a flange portion (game board mounting flange) 43a formed on the main body portion 43 and positioned in contact with the surface 20a of the game board 20 are configured. Here, a plurality of through holes 43b are formed in the flange portion 43a, and the change guide member 42 is screwed to the game board 20 through the through holes 43b. When the main body portion 43 is inserted into the mounting hole 23 of the game board 20 and the flange portion 43a is brought into contact with the surface 20a of the game board 20, the ball inlet 44a of the first change passage 44 is The ball outlet 45 a of the second change passage 45 is opened at the surface 20 a of the game board 20 while communicating with the terminal opening 40 b of the ball guide passage 40. That is, the second changing member is opened in the right direction of the main body 43, and the ball outlet 45 a of the second changing passage 45 functions as a launching hole for the pachinko ball S. Therefore, in the following description, the ball outlet 45a of the second change passage 45 will be described as a launch port.

前記第１変更通路４４は、図６に示すように、遊技盤２０の裏面２０ｂから表面側に向けて円弧状に湾曲するよう形成されて、本体部４３における遊技盤２０の表面２０ａ側で開口するようになっている。すなわち、前記第１変更通路４４は、前記球案内通路４０から到来するパチンコ球Ｓの進行方向を、遊技盤２０の表面２０ａ側へ向くよう変更する。また、前記本体部４３に前面には、前記第１変更通路４４の前側で開口する開口部４４ｂの上方位置で前方へ向けて突出する第１画壁４６ａ、該開口部４４ｂの下方位置で前方へ向けて突出する第２画壁４６ｂおよび該開口部４４ｂの左方位置で前方へ向けて突出する第３画壁４６ｃが夫々形成されると共に、該第１〜第３画壁４６ａ,４６ｂ,４６ｃの前端を、前記ガラス板１４に平行な第４画壁４６ｄで接続するよう構成されており、これら第１〜第４画壁４６ａ,４６ｂ,４６ｃ,４６ｄにより前記第２変更通路４５が画成されている。ここで、前記第４画壁４６ｄの内面には、ウレタンゴム等の衝撃緩衝し得る緩衝部材４７が取り付けられている。すなわち、前記第１変更通路４４から第２変更通路４５に到来したパチンコ球Ｓは、前記緩衝部材４７に当接することで、その進行方向を遊技盤２０の表面２０ａに対して平行な方向へ向くように変更されて、前記発射口４５ａから遊技盤２０の遊技領域２１内に発射される(図２または図６参照)。 As shown in FIG. 6, the first change passage 44 is formed to be curved in an arc shape from the back surface 20 b of the game board 20 toward the front surface side, and is open on the front surface 20 a side of the game board 20 in the main body 43. It is supposed to be. That is, the first change passage 44 changes the traveling direction of the pachinko ball S coming from the ball guide passage 40 so as to face the surface 20 a side of the game board 20. Further, on the front surface of the main body 43, a first wall 46a projecting forward at a position above the opening 44b that opens on the front side of the first change passage 44, and a front at a position below the opening 44b. A second image wall 46b projecting toward the left and a third image wall 46c projecting forward at the left position of the opening 44b, respectively, and the first to third image walls 46a, 46b, The front end of 46c is configured to be connected by a fourth wall 46d parallel to the glass plate 14, and the second change passage 45 is defined by the first to fourth wall 46a, 46b, 46c, 46d. It is made. Here, a shock-absorbing member 47 such as urethane rubber that can shock-shock is attached to the inner surface of the fourth wall 46d. That is, the pachinko ball S that has arrived at the second change passage 45 from the first change passage 44 abuts against the buffer member 47 so that its traveling direction is parallel to the surface 20a of the game board 20. Thus, the game is fired from the launch port 45a into the game area 21 of the game board 20 (see FIG. 2 or FIG. 6).

〔実施例の作用〕
次に、実施例に係るパチンコ機１０の作用につき説明する。 (Effects of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described.

前記遊技盤２０の左上部位置に開設した取付孔２３に、前記変更案内部材４２の本体部４３を前側から挿入して、遊技盤２０の表面２０ａに変更案内部材４２のフランジ部４３ａを当接させる。そして、フランジ部４３ａに穿設した通孔４３ｂを介して遊技盤２０にネジ止めして前記変更案内部材４２を固定し、この遊技盤２０を、前記中枠１２に設けた遊技盤保持部２５に前側から組み付ける。このとき、前記中枠１２の延出部３７に形成した第１および第２リブ３８,３９の前端縁の夫々が前記遊技盤２０の裏面２０ｂに当接して、パチンコ球Ｓが通過可能な球案内通路４０を画成する。ここで、前記中枠１２の設置面部２８に配設した打球発射装置３２の発射レール３５が、前記球案内通路４０に指向するよう設定されているから、該発射レール３５の打球発射位置に停止保持したパチンコ球Ｓを打球杆３４が打ち出すと、この打ち出されたパチンコ球Ｓが始端開口部４０ａを介して前記球案内通路４０に進入し、該球案内通路４０を通って遊技盤２０裏側の上部位置まで案内される。 The main body portion 43 of the change guide member 42 is inserted from the front side into the mounting hole 23 opened at the upper left position of the game board 20, and the flange portion 43 a of the change guide member 42 is brought into contact with the surface 20 a of the game board 20. Let Then, the change guide member 42 is fixed by screwing it to the game board 20 through the through hole 43b drilled in the flange part 43a, and the game board 20 is attached to the game board holding part 25 provided in the middle frame 12. Assemble from the front side. At this time, each of the front end edges of the first and second ribs 38 and 39 formed on the extending portion 37 of the middle frame 12 is in contact with the back surface 20b of the game board 20 so that the pachinko ball S can pass through. A guide passage 40 is defined. Here, since the launch rail 35 of the hitting ball launching device 32 disposed on the installation surface portion 28 of the middle frame 12 is set so as to be directed to the ball guiding passage 40, the hitting ball 35 is stopped at the hitting ball launching position. When the hitting ball 34 strikes the held pachinko ball S, the hit pachinko ball S enters the ball guide passage 40 through the start end opening 40a, and passes through the ball guide passage 40 to the back side of the game board 20 Guided to the upper position.

ここで、図６に示すように、前記球案内通路４０の終端開口部４０ｂには、前記遊技盤２０に取り付けた前記変更案内部材４２の第１変更通路４４が連通しているから、該球案内通路４０を通過したパチンコ球Ｓは、該終端開口部４０ｂからの第１変更通路４４に到来する。前記第１変更通路４４は、前記遊技盤２０の裏面２０ｂ側から表面側に向けて円弧状に湾曲するよう形成してあるから、前記球案内通路４０から到来したパチンコ球Ｓの進行方向は遊技盤２０の表面２０ａ側へ向くよう変更され、変更案内部材４２の本体部４３の前面側に開口する開口部４４ｂから第２変更通路４５に移動する。前記第２変更通路４５に到来したパチンコ球Ｓは、前記本体部４３の開口部４４ｂに対向する緩衝部材４７に当接して進行方向を遊技盤２０の表面２０ａに対して平行な方向へ向くように変更されて、第２変更通路４５の発射口４５ａから遊技盤２０の遊技領域２１内に発射される。ここで、前記第２変更通路４５に到来したパチンコ球Ｓは、前記本体部４３の開口部４４ｂに対向する緩衝部材４７に当接するから、遊技盤２０の前側に位置するガラス板１４にパチンコ球Ｓが直接衝突することはなく、該ガラス板１４の損傷を防止できる。 Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the first change passage 44 of the change guide member 42 attached to the game board 20 communicates with the terminal opening 40b of the ball guide passage 40. The pachinko ball S that has passed through the guide passage 40 arrives at the first change passage 44 from the terminal opening 40b. Since the first change passage 44 is formed to be curved in an arc shape from the back surface 20b side to the front surface side of the game board 20, the traveling direction of the pachinko ball S arriving from the ball guide passage 40 is a game. It changes so that it may face to the surface 20a side of the board 20, and moves to the 2nd change channel | path 45 from the opening part 44b opened to the front side of the main-body part 43 of the change guide member 42. FIG. The pachinko ball S that has arrived at the second change passage 45 abuts against the buffer member 47 facing the opening 44b of the main body 43 so that the traveling direction is parallel to the surface 20a of the game board 20. To the game area 21 of the game board 20 from the launch port 45a of the second change passage 45. Here, the pachinko ball S that has arrived at the second change passage 45 abuts against the buffer member 47 facing the opening 44b of the main body 43, so that the pachinko ball S is placed on the glass plate 14 located on the front side of the game board 20. S does not collide directly, and damage to the glass plate 14 can be prevented.

このように、遊技盤２０の裏面２０ｂ側に形成した球案内通路４０に、打球発射装置３２から打ち出されたパチンコ球Ｓを通過させると共に、球案内通路４０に受入れたパチンコ球Ｓを、遊技盤２０における遊技領域２１の上部位置に設けた変更案内部材４２の発射口４５ａから遊技領域２１内へ発射するよう構成したことで、遊技盤２０の表面２０ａ側に遊技球発射用の案内レールを別途設ける必要がない。すなわち、同じの大きさの遊技盤２０に対して最大限大きな遊技領域２１を形成することができるから、該遊技領域２１内に大型の遊技部品(例えば図柄表示装置や役物等)を配置して、遊技演出の多様化やインパクト、迫力の向上を図り、遊技の面白みを増大することが可能となる。 In this way, the pachinko ball S launched from the ball striking device 32 is passed through the ball guide passage 40 formed on the back surface 20b side of the game board 20 and the pachinko ball S received in the ball guide passage 40 is passed through the game board. 20 is configured to fire into the game area 21 from the launch port 45a of the change guide member 42 provided at the upper position of the game area 21 in FIG. There is no need to provide it. In other words, since the largest game area 21 can be formed for the same size game board 20, a large game component (for example, a symbol display device or an accessory) is arranged in the game area 21. Thus, it is possible to increase the fun of the game by diversifying the game production, improving the impact, and improving the power.

具体的に説明すると、従来のパチンコ機では，図７(b)に示すように、遊技盤５０の表面５０ａに、外レール５２と内レール５３とを配設して、該内レール５３の内側に遊技領域５１を画成すると共に、打球発射装置３２から発射されたパチンコ球Ｓを外レール５２と内レール５３との間に画成される発射通路５４を通過させて遊技領域５１に発射するよう構成される。このため、従来例に係る遊技盤５０では、遊技領域５１の左右方向の幅寸法Ｌ２は、内レール５３の内側だけに限られるのに対し、実施例では、遊技盤２０に設けた仕切り部材２２の左右方向の幅寸法Ｌ１に亘って遊戯領域２１の広さを確保し得る。すなわち、実施例のように遊技盤２０の裏面２０ｂ側に球案内通路４０を設けることで、遊技盤２０の表面２０ａ側に画成される遊技領域２１の幅寸法を、従来構成の遊技盤５０に較べて発射通路５４の形成分だけ拡げることができる。 Specifically, in the conventional pachinko machine, as shown in FIG. 7B, an outer rail 52 and an inner rail 53 are arranged on the surface 50a of the game board 50, and the inner side of the inner rail 53 is arranged. The pachinko ball S launched from the ball striking device 32 is passed through the launch passage 54 defined between the outer rail 52 and the inner rail 53 and fired into the game region 51. It is configured as follows. For this reason, in the gaming board 50 according to the conventional example, the width L2 in the left-right direction of the gaming area 51 is limited only to the inside of the inner rail 53, whereas in the embodiment, the partition member 22 provided on the gaming board 20 is used. The width of the game area 21 can be secured over the horizontal width dimension L1. That is, by providing the ball guide passage 40 on the back surface 20b side of the game board 20 as in the embodiment, the width dimension of the game area 21 defined on the front surface 20a side of the game board 20 is set to the conventional game board 50. As compared with this, it can be expanded by the formation of the firing passage 54.

また、前述したように、前記中枠１２に通路形成部３６(延出部３７、第１リブ３８および第２リブ３９)を形成したことで、前記中枠１２の遊技盤保持部２５に遊技盤２０を保持するだけで遊技盤２０の裏面２０ｂに第１および第２リブ３８,３９が当接して球案内通路４０が形成される。従って、遊技盤２０の裏面２０ｂに、球案内通路４０を形成する別部材を取り付ける構成や、該遊技盤２０自体を切削等して球案内通路４０を形成する構成に較べて、組み付け作業や加工作業等の煩雑な作業が省略でき、遊技盤２０の構成を簡略化してコストの低減を図り得る。また、遊技盤２０とは別の中枠１２に通路形成部３６(延出部３７、第１リブ３８および第２リブ３９)を形成してあるから、機種変更等において遊技盤２０を交換する際に、該通路形成部３６(延出部３７、第１リブ３８および第２リブ３９)をそのまま使い回すことができ、廃棄物やコストの低減に寄与し得る利点もある。 Further, as described above, the passage forming portion 36 (the extending portion 37, the first rib 38, and the second rib 39) is formed in the middle frame 12, so that the game board holding portion 25 of the middle frame 12 has a game. Only by holding the board 20, the first and second ribs 38 and 39 come into contact with the back surface 20 b of the game board 20 to form the ball guide passage 40. Therefore, as compared with a configuration in which another member for forming the ball guide passage 40 is attached to the rear surface 20b of the game board 20 or a configuration in which the ball guide passage 40 is formed by cutting the game board 20 itself, the assembling work or processing Complicated operations such as operations can be omitted, and the configuration of the game board 20 can be simplified to reduce costs. Further, since the passage forming portion 36 (extending portion 37, first rib 38 and second rib 39) is formed in the inner frame 12 different from the game board 20, the game board 20 is exchanged when changing the model. At this time, the passage forming portion 36 (the extending portion 37, the first rib 38, and the second rib 39) can be reused as it is, and there is an advantage that it can contribute to reduction of waste and cost.

また、実施例では、前記打球発射装置３２で打ち出されて遊技盤２０の裏面２０ｂ(球案内通路４０)を通過するパチンコ球Ｓの進行方向を、前記変更案内部材４２に設けた第１変更通路４４により遊技盤２０の表面２０ａ側へ向くよう変更すると共に、該第１変更通路４４で遊技盤２０の表面２０ａ側へ向くよう変更したパチンコ球Ｓの進行方向を、該変更案内部材４２に設けた第２変更通路４５により遊技盤２０の表面２０ａに対して平行な方向へ向くように変更するよう構成してあるから、パチンコ球Ｓをスムーズに遊技領域２１に案内することができる。すなわち、前述のようにパチンコ球Ｓを遊技盤２０の裏面２０ｂ(球案内通路４０)を通過させて遊技盤２０の遊技領域２１を大きくし得るよう構成した場合であっても、打球発射装置３２が打ち出したパチンコ球Ｓを前記変更案内部材４２で遊技盤２０の表面２０ａに対して平行な方向へ向くよう遊技領域２１内に発射させ得るから、パチンコ球Ｓを遊技盤２０の遊技領域２１を流下させて従来のパチンコ機１０と同様の遊技を行なうことが可能となる。 Further, in the embodiment, the first change path provided in the change guide member 42 indicates the traveling direction of the pachinko ball S that is launched by the hitting ball launcher 32 and passes through the back surface 20b (ball guide path 40) of the game board 20. The change guide member 42 is provided with a traveling direction of the pachinko ball S that is changed to face the front surface 20a of the game board 20 by 44 and changed to face the front surface 20a of the game board 20 in the first change passage 44. Further, the pachinko ball S can be smoothly guided to the game area 21 because the second change passage 45 is changed so as to be directed in a direction parallel to the surface 20a of the game board 20. That is, even when the pachinko ball S is configured to pass through the back surface 20b (ball guide passage 40) of the game board 20 and the game area 21 of the game board 20 can be enlarged as described above, the ball hitting device 32 is provided. Can be fired into the game area 21 so as to be directed in a direction parallel to the surface 20 a of the game board 20 by the change guide member 42, so that the pachinko ball S is moved through the game area 21 of the game board 20. It is possible to play the same game as the conventional pachinko machine 10 by letting it flow down.

また、実施例では、前記第１変更通路４４および第２変更通路４５を、遊技盤２０とは別の単一の変更案内部材４２に形成して、該変更案内部材４２を遊技盤２０に開設した取付孔２３に嵌挿固定するようにしたから、該第１変更通路４４および第２変更通路４５を遊技盤２０に直接形成する場合や、第１変更通路４４および第２変更通路４５の夫々を異なる部材に形成する場合に較べて、製造効率を向上してコスト低減を図り得る利点がある。更に、前記変更案内部材４２にフランジ部４３ａを形成して、該フランジ部４３ａを遊技盤２０の表面２０ａに当接させることで、前記球案内通路４０が第１変更通路４４に連通すると共に、第２変更通路４５が遊技領域２１内に開口するよう構成してある。従って、前記変更案内部材４２は、前記フランジ部４３ａが遊技盤２０の表面２０ａに当接するまで本体部４３を取付孔２３に差し込むだけで、変更案内部材４２を遊技盤２０に対して容易に位置決めすることができ、組み付け作業を簡単に行ない得る。なお、前記遊技盤２０に複雑な加工をすることなく、前記変更案内部材４２を取り付ける取付孔２３を開設するだけでよいから、コスト低減に寄与し得る利点もある。 In the embodiment, the first change passage 44 and the second change passage 45 are formed in a single change guide member 42 different from the game board 20, and the change guide member 42 is opened in the game board 20. Since the first change passage 44 and the second change passage 45 are directly formed in the game board 20, the first change passage 44 and the second change passage 45, respectively. As compared with the case of forming them in different members, there is an advantage that manufacturing efficiency can be improved and cost can be reduced. Further, by forming a flange portion 43a on the change guide member 42 and bringing the flange portion 43a into contact with the surface 20a of the game board 20, the ball guide passage 40 communicates with the first change passage 44, and The second change passage 45 is configured to open into the game area 21. Therefore, the change guide member 42 can be easily positioned with respect to the game board 20 simply by inserting the main body 43 into the mounting hole 23 until the flange portion 43a contacts the surface 20a of the game board 20. And can be assembled easily. In addition, since it is only necessary to open the attachment hole 23 for attaching the change guide member 42 without performing complicated processing on the game board 20, there is an advantage that can contribute to cost reduction.

〔変更例〕
なお、本発明に係る遊技機の構成としては、実施例のものに限らず、種々の変更が可能である。 [Example of change]
The configuration of the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to that of the embodiment, and various modifications can be made .

実施例では、通路形成部の第１および第２リブが遊技盤の裏面に当接することで前記球案内通路を形成するようにしたが、該通路形成部と遊技盤の裏面との間に遊技球が通過可能な球案内通路が形成されるようにすれば、これら第１および第２リブが遊技盤の裏面に当接する必要はない。すなわち、通路形成部の第１および第２リブが遊技盤の裏面から離間する構成や、該遊技盤に溝を形成して第１および第２リブを臨ませる構成であっても、通路形成部と遊技盤の裏面とにより遊技球が通過可能な球案内通路が画成されればよい。 In the embodiment, the first and second ribs of the passage forming portion are in contact with the back surface of the game board to form the ball guide passage. However, the game is formed between the passage formation portion and the back surface of the game board. If a ball guide passage through which a ball can pass is formed, the first and second ribs do not need to contact the back surface of the game board. That is, even if the first and second ribs of the passage forming part are separated from the back surface of the game board or the game board is formed with a groove so that the first and second ribs can face, It is only necessary to define a ball guide path through which the game ball can pass through the back of the game board.

実施例では、第１変更通路および第２変更通路を形成した変更案内部材(発射口部材)を遊技盤の取付孔に取り付けるよう構成したが、これに限られるものではなく、第１変更通路と第２変更通路とを、異なる部材に形成して遊技盤に取り付けるようにしてもよい。 In the embodiment, the change guide member (launch port member) that forms the first change passage and the second change passage is configured to be attached to the mounting hole of the game board. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first change passage and The second change passage may be formed in a different member and attached to the game board .

また、実施例では、球案内通路を通過する遊技球の進行方向を遊技盤の表面側へ向くよう変更する第１変更部として、円弧状に湾曲形成した前記第１変更通路を形成するようにしたが、これに限定されるものではなく、遊技球の進行方向を遊技盤の表面側へ向くよう変更し得る形状・構成であれば、任意に変更することができる。同様に、実施例では、遊技球の進行方向を遊技盤の表面に対して平行な方向へ向くように変更する第２変更部として、第１〜第４画壁により画成して第２変更通路を設けるようにしたが、これに限られるものではない。例えば、図８に示すように、第２変更通路(第２変更部)５５を、実施例に係る第１変更通路(第１変更部)４４と同様に、円弧状に湾曲形成するようにして第２変更通路５５の球出口(発射口５５ａ)から発射された遊技球(実施例ではパチンコ球Ｓ)の進行方向が、遊技盤２０の表面２０ａに対して平行な方向へ向くようにしてもよい。図８において、実施例と同一の部材には同一の符号を得してある。 Further, in the embodiment, as the first change portion that changes the traveling direction of the game ball passing through the ball guide passage so as to face the surface side of the game board, the first change passage curved in an arc shape is formed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be arbitrarily changed as long as the shape and configuration can be changed so that the advancing direction of the game ball faces the surface side of the game board. Similarly, in the embodiment, the second change unit is defined by the first to fourth walls as the second change unit that changes the traveling direction of the game ball so as to face the direction parallel to the surface of the game board. Although the passage is provided, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the second change passage (second change portion) 55 is curved in an arc shape like the first change passage (first change portion) 44 according to the embodiment. The traveling direction of the game ball (pachinko ball S in the embodiment) launched from the ball exit (launch port 55a) of the second change passage 55 may be directed in a direction parallel to the surface 20a of the game board 20. Good. In FIG. 8, the same reference numerals are given to the same members as in the embodiment.

また、第２変更部としては、前述した通路に限られるものではなく、透明部材に衝撃緩衝用の緩衝シールを第２変更部として貼着し、該緩衝シールに第１変更部から到来する遊技球を衝突させることで、遊技球の進行方向を遊技盤の表面に対して平行な方向へ向くように変更させることも可能である。 Further, the second changing portion is not limited to the above-described passage, and a game that arrives at the buffer seal from the first changing portion by attaching a shock absorbing shock absorbing seal to the transparent member as the second changing portion. By making the ball collide, it is also possible to change the traveling direction of the game ball so as to face in a direction parallel to the surface of the game board.

また、実施例では、遊技機としてパチンコ機を例示して説明したが、これに限られるものではなく、本体枠に形成した遊技盤保持部に着脱可能に保持され、表面側に遊技領域が形成された遊技盤と、前記遊技盤における遊技領域の上部位置へ向けて遊技球を打ち出す打球発射装置とを備えた遊技機であれば、アレンジボール機等の従来公知の各種遊技機を採用し得る。 In the embodiment, a pachinko machine has been described as an example of the gaming machine.
