A large winning opening (attacker) 7 is provided. In addition, the game area 3 is provided with a regular winning port 8, a gate 9, a windmill 10, an out port 11, and the like. As is well known, when a game ball wins the first starting port 5, a big hit random number or the like is acquired on a game control board (not shown) on the condition that the number of held balls is less than four. When a special jackpot determination process or the like is performed at the start of the variation of the special symbol, and the acquired jackpot random number corresponds to the jackpot random number value, a jackpot that allows the player to receive a privilege occurs.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the center decoration member 4 includes a substantially U-shaped lower front surface portion 13 that is substantially flush with the surface 12 of the game board 100. Above the left part and the right part of the lower front part 13, a left upper front part 14 and an upper right front part 15 are arranged away from the game board surface 12 by a predetermined distance. On the left and right inner edges of the lower front surface portion 13, a left side surface portion 16 and a right side surface portion 17 extend rearward. A stage 18 having a step in the front-rear direction extends between the lower end of the left side surface portion 16 and the lower end of the right side surface portion 17. The stage at the end of the stage 18 includes a pair of left and right jump tables 19 that allow a game ball guided on the stage 18 via a warp passage 25 to be described later to jump, and some of the jumped game balls. A recess 23 is formed for guiding a game ball to an inlet 22 (a so-called winning hole, corresponding to a predetermined region in the present invention) 22 for guiding a game ball to an outlet 20 positioned directly above the first starting port 5. The On the left and right sides of the recess 23, an inclined portion 24 is provided for dropping the game ball to the front step.

  An upper portion 26 of a warp passage 25 serving as a ball passage device is disposed on the rear surface of the upper left front portion 14, and a lower portion 27 following the upper portion once extends gently downward along the left side surface portion 16, and further on the left side. It is arranged so as to extend downward along the surface portion 16.

  The warp passage (ball passage device) 25 includes two inlet portions (first inlet portion 28 and second inlet portion 29) that open on the game board surface 12, a first ball passage portion 30 that extends from the first inlet portion 28, and a first ball passage portion 30. The second sphere passage portion 31 extending from the two inlet portions 29 intersects with the merging portion 32 and one common sphere passage portion 33 extending downward from the merging portion 32. The height position of the first inlet portion 28 is set to a position higher than the height position of the second inlet portion 29, and the inclination of the first spherical passage portion 30 is the inclination of the second spherical passage portion 31. Is set larger than. In other words, the flow velocity of the game ball flowing down the first ball passage portion 30 is set to be larger than the flow velocity of the game ball flowing down the second ball passage portion 31. The lower end of the common sphere passage portion 33 constitutes an outlet portion 34, and the outlet portion 34 opens on the stage 18.

  A game ball (hereinafter also referred to as a first game ball) that enters the first inlet portion 28 from above the game board surface 12 passes through the first ball passage portion 30, the junction portion 32, and the common ball passage portion 33 from the outlet portion 34. It is discharged onto the stage 18. In addition, a game ball (hereinafter also referred to as a second game ball) that has entered the second inlet portion 29 from above the game board surface 12 passes through the second ball passage portion 31, the junction portion 32, and the common ball passage portion 33, and then exits. 34 is discharged onto the stage 18.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a suspension door 35 is disposed at a position immediately before the merging portion 32 of the second ball passage portion 31, in other words, near the merging portion 32. The suspension door 35 is rotatable about a rotation axis 36 perpendicular to the game board surface 12. As shown in FIG. 5, the suspension door 35 maintains a suspended state by its own weight.

  When a game ball enters the first entrance portion 28, the first game ball B1 is not obstructed by the suspension door 35 and is shared from the first ball passage portion 30 via the junction portion 32 as shown in FIG. It flows down to the ball passage portion 33.

  When a game ball enters the second entrance 29, the second game ball B2 pushes or lifts the suspension door 35 in the direction of the junction 32 as shown in FIG. , Reaches the confluence 32 and flows down to the common sphere passage 33.

  At the same time, the game balls enter the first inlet portion 28 and the second inlet portion 29, and the hanging door is pushed up by the second game ball B2 at the junction 32 as shown in FIG. 7A, for example. There is a possibility that the first game ball B1 will collide with 35. When such a phenomenon occurs, as shown in FIG. 7 (B), the suspension door 35 receives the drop energy (impact energy) of the first game ball B1 and pushes back the second game ball B2, thereby causing the first The game ball B1 flows preferentially to the common ball passage portion 33. Thereafter, the pushed-back second game ball B <b> 2 starts to flow again, pushes up the suspension door 35, reaches the junction portion 32, and flows down to the common ball passage portion 33.

  Also on the right side of the center decorative member 4, a right warp passage 37 is provided symmetrically with the left warp passage 25 as described above, and the right warp passage 37 is configured in the same manner as the left warp passage 25.

  The game balls discharged from the outlet part 34 of the left warp passage 25 and the right warp passage 37 roll on the stepped portion at the rearmost part of the stage 18 toward the left and right central part, as shown in FIG. Jump from the jump stand 19. Here, the left warp passage 25 will be described as an example. The discharge speed when the first game ball B1 entering from the first inlet portion 28 of the warp passage 25 is discharged from the outlet portion 34, and the first warp passage 25 The discharge speed when the second game ball B2 entered from the two inlet portions 29 is discharged from the outlet portion 34 is due to the difference in height position or inclination angle between the first inlet portion 28 and the second inlet portion 29. Thus, the discharge speed of the first game ball B1 is higher than the discharge speed of the second game ball B2. The jump distance of the first game ball B1 is longer than the jump distance of the second game ball B2 due to the magnitude of the discharge speed, and the first game ball B1 draws a trajectory as shown by a solid line in FIG. Thus, the second game ball B2 is set so as to easily fall onto the inclined portion 24 in front of the recess 23 along a locus shown by a broken line in FIG. Accordingly, most of the first game balls B1 enter the winning holes 22 of the recesses 23, fall through the guide passages 21 and exit from the outlet 20 immediately above the first start opening 5, and win the first start opening 5, Most of the second game balls B2 fall from the inclined portion 24, fall on the game board surface 12 from a position off from directly above the first start opening 5, and are difficult to win the first start opening 5.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the first embodiment is a warping machine equipped with the warp passage 25 (37) for guiding the game ball on the game board surface 12 onto the stage 18 of the center decorative member 4. The passage 25 (37) communicates with the first inlet portion 28 and the second inlet portion 29 that open on the game board surface 12, and the first inlet portion 28 and the second inlet portion 29, and opens on the stage 18. And an outlet 34.

  According to the first embodiment, since the two inlet portions 28 and 29 of the warp passages 25 and 37 are provided, the discharge speed of the game balls discharged from the outlet portion 34 is made different according to the inlet portions 28 and 29. Can do. In the first embodiment, the discharge speed when the first game ball B1 that has entered the first inlet portion 28 out of the first inlet portion 28 and the second inlet portion 29 is discharged from the outlet portion 34 is determined on the stage 18. Since the speed at which the game ball can be guided to a position where it is easy to win the first start opening 5 is set to the player, when the game ball enters the first entrance portion 28, the first start opening 5 is high. It is possible to give a sense of expectation that the prize will be won with probability.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the first embodiment, the warp passages (ball passage devices) 25 and 37 are provided by the first ball passage portion 30 where the first game ball B1 has a high flow velocity and the second game ball B2 flow down. Second sphere passage portion 31 having a low speed, merging portion 32 where first sphere passage portion 30 and second sphere passage portion 31 intersect, common sphere passage portion 33 extending downward from merging portion 32, and second sphere A suspension door 35 disposed immediately before the junction portion 32 of the passage portion 31, and the suspension door 35 is the first game ball B1 when the first game ball B1 flows down only the first ball passage portion 30. The second game ball B2 is pushed up toward the junction 32 by the second game ball B2 when the second game ball B2 flows down only through the second ball passage portion 31. The suspension door 35 is configured to allow passage and the second game ball B2 When it is pushed up toward the merging section 32, it is in a state where it can collide with the first game ball B1, and when the first game ball B1 collides during the push-up, the second game ball B2 is pushed by this impact energy. The first game ball B1 is configured to flow down preferentially to the common ball passage portion 33.

  According to the first embodiment, when the first game ball B1 collides with the suspension door 35 pushed up by the second game ball B2, the suspension door 35 is second due to the impact energy acting on the suspension door 35. Since the game ball B2 is pushed back and the first game ball B1 flows down to the common ball passage portion 33, it is possible to prevent the first game ball B1 and the second game ball B2 from engaging with each other in the junction portion 32. Become.
