  A firing handle 2 is attached to the right side of the lower plate 7. A rotating ring (not shown) is held on the outer periphery of the launching handle 2, and if this is rotated clockwise, the game ball can be launched onto the game board 21 shown in FIG. A multilayer glass 13 is provided on the front surface of the game board 21. In addition, about the back surface structure of the pachinko machine 1, since it is the same structure as a well-known content, description is omitted.

  Next, the game board 21 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a front view showing the gaming board 21 removed from the pachinko gaming machine 1. The outer shape of the game board 21 is substantially rectangular, and a substantially circular game area 14 surrounded by the outer rail 21b and the inner rail 21c is formed on the front surface thereof. Note that game nails (not shown) are implanted at various locations in the game area 14.

  Near the center of the game board 21, a game device 22 into which a game ball can enter by the operation of the blade member 26 is arranged. A special entrance 23 is arranged inside the gaming device 22, and after a game ball entering the gaming device 22 passes through a plurality of entrance routes, it enters the special entrance 23 with a predetermined probability. It has a structure to do.

  The location of the special entrance 23 is inevitably at a position close to the glass surface 13 that is easily viewed by the player due to its gameplay. However, this can be said to be a configuration in which an external force is easily applied from the front surface of the game board 21 to the vicinity of the special entrance 23, which is a general configuration for giving priority to gaming, although it is contrary to the prevention of fraud.

  A lamp windmill 25 is arranged in a pair above the gaming apparatus 22. Below the gaming device 22, there are provided a middle blade operating port 27 that operates the blade member 26 twice by entering a game ball, and a game ball enters the left and right of the blade operating port 27. Thus, a pair of blade operation ports 28 for operating the blade member 26 once is provided.

  Side lamps 29 are installed on the left and right along the inner rail 11c of the game area 14, and the upper general entrance 30, the lower general entrance 31, and the windmill 32 are symmetrical between the side lamp 29 and the gaming device 22. Has been placed.

  In addition, a magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 is disposed on the back surface of the game board 21 at a lower portion of the game apparatus 22 near the special entrance 23.

  Note that the signal transmission path in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is not different from the known contents, and thus the description thereof is omitted. However, the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 is a known control board (disposed on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1). So-called main control board, prize ball control board, sub-integrated board, etc.).

  Next, the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 will be described with reference to FIGS. The oscillating magnetic wave radio wave detector 33 is suspended and supported by a conductor 44 from a conductive coil 40, a cylindrical lid portion 42 at one end thereof, and a suspension support portion 43 provided at the center of the lid portion 42. The electromotive force detector 33a is electrically connected from both ends of the conductive sphere 41 and the coil 40.

  The suspended ball 41 is in a state in which a pendulum movement is possible in all directions with the suspension support portion 43 as a base point. In addition, the suspension support portion 43 has a function of adjusting the swing width of the ball 41. doing.

  The direction of the pendulum motion may be an adjustment that allows only the front-rear direction with respect to the pachinko gaming machine 1 with the suspension support portion 43 as a base point. This is because the external force applied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 as a fraudulent act is usually applied from the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the direction of the external force is transmitted mainly in the front-rear direction with respect to the pachinko gaming machine 1. In the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33, detection can be performed by the front and rear pendulum motion.

  When the suspended and supported ball 41 is shaken by vibration and comes into contact with the inner surface of the coil 40 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the electrically disconnected detector is normally energized, and the fraud detection signal is sent to the pachinko machine. 1 is output to a known control board 1. In addition, the control board that has received the output performs notification according to a known technique.

  Similarly to the above, when the suspended sphere 41 is shaken by the magnetic force and touches the inner surface of the coil 40 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, a normally disconnected detector is energized to detect fraud. The signal is output to a known control board provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In addition, the control board that has received the output performs notification according to a known technique.

  When the coil 40 receives radio waves, an electromotive force is generated in the coil 40 by electromagnetic induction. When this electromotive force is detected by the electromotive force detection unit 33a, a fraud detection signal is output to a known control board provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1. In addition, the control board that has received the output performs notification according to a known technique.

  As described above, the direction of the external force directed to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is mainly in the front-rear direction with respect to the pachinko gaming machine 1. In consideration of this characteristic, FIG. 11 shows the magnetic vibration radio wave detector modified 33b.

  In the structure, the front and rear of the outer shell are constituted by a front conductive plate 68 and a rear conductive plate 69, and a rectangular lid portion 42a is provided at one end of the front conductive plate 68 and the rear conductive plate 69, and is substantially at the center of the lid portion 42a. It is composed of a conductor ball 41a suspended and supported by the conductor 44a from the provided suspension support part 43a and an electromotive force detection part 33c electrically connected to the front conductive plate 68.

Thereby, the detection sensitivity of the external force in the front-rear direction is improved, and the front-rear width is not increased with a simple shape.

  As a matter of course, when the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 or the magnetic vibration radio wave detector modification 33b is installed, the balls 41 and 41a are attached to the inner surfaces of the coil 40 or the front conductive plate 68 and the rear conductive plate 69 in a non-contact state. . When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is installed in a gaming facility, it is customary to tilt the upper part of the pachinko gaming machine 1 backwards to give an inclination angle of 4/5 mm, but the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 or the magnetic vibration radio wave detection Even when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is installed with the inclination angle, the device modification 33b is such that the balls 41 and 41a are suspended vertically from the lid portions 42 and 42a, and the coil 40 or the front conductive plate 68 and the rear conductive plate 69. It is attached in a state where it is at an equal distance from any position on the inner surface of. By this attachment state, the detection sensitivity is not biased depending on the direction of the external force.

  The external force of vibration and magnetic force generated in the vicinity of the special entrance 23 is obviously an external force based on an illegal act generated to guide the game ball to the special entrance 23, and in the vicinity of the special entrance 23. Similarly, the generated radio wave is an external force based on a fraudulent act that occurs because the special entrance entrance detection switch 66 installed near the special entrance 23 malfunctions. With respect to the vibration, the magnetic force, and the external force of the radio wave, a magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 is installed in the vicinity of the special entrance 23 and adopts the configuration of the first embodiment, which is conventionally difficult due to space problems. It is possible to appropriately detect a plurality of types of external forces such as the vibration, the magnetic force, and the radio wave in the vicinity of the special entrance 23 in which the influence of the external force based on the fraud is concerned.

  In the first embodiment, the installation position of the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 is the lower part of the game device 22 on the back surface of the game board 21, but the position is not limited to this position on the back surface of the game board 21. In addition, although the description has been made using the honey-type pachinko gaming machine, the type of the pachinko gaming machine is not limited.

  Next, Example 2 will be described. In the first embodiment, the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 is installed in the lower part of the gaming device 22 on the back of the game board 21 near the special entrance 23, but in the second embodiment, the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 is installed in the special entrance. It is characterized in that it is installed inside the gaming device 22 in which 23 is arranged. Moreover, in Example 2, FIG. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 becomes the same content as Example 1, and the installation position of the game apparatus 22 arrange | positioned at the game board surface 21 is also the same in FIG. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the installation position of the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 7 is a front view of the gaming device 22 in which the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 is installed, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the gaming device 22 taken along the line A-A ′. A top entrance 51 is provided at the top of the gaming device 22, and a pair of blade members 26 that open and close the entrance of the gaming ball of the gaming device 22 are provided at the left and right ends of the upper portion. A take-in passage 52 that is a passage for guiding the game ball to the upper stage 53 is provided integrally with the incoming ball detection switch 55 inside the left and right blade members 26.

  A middle passage port 56 is provided in the back center of the upper stage 53, and a sorting rotor 59 is provided in front of it. Further, a left passage port 57 and a right passage port 58 are provided on the left and right sides of the central passage port 56, and a pair of upper and lower middle discharge ports 60, a left discharge port 61, and a right discharge port 62 provided at the back of the lower stage 54, respectively. ing.

  At the front center of the lower stage 54, there is provided a special entrance 23 which gives a special game advantageous to the player when a game ball enters, and a left and right entrance 63 is provided on the left and right sides thereof. It has been. In addition, a magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 is installed behind the game ball path of the lower stage 54, and a special entrance entrance ball detection switch 66 is installed immediately below the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33.

  With the above configuration, the game ball that has entered the game device 22 when the blade member 26 is operated by entering the middle blade operation port 27 or the blade operation port 28 is discharged from the intake passage 52 to the upper stage 53, and It is guided to any one of the middle passage port 56, the left passage port 57, and the right passage port 58 in the back. The game ball that has entered the middle passage port 56 is discharged from the middle discharge port 60 provided at the back of the lower stage 54 to the lower stage 54, and the game ball that has entered the left passage port 57 is provided at the back of the lower stage 54. The game balls released from the left discharge port 61 to the lower stage 54 and entering the right passage port 58 are discharged from the right discharge port 62 provided at the back of the lower stage 54 to the lower stage 54. A game ball released from any one of the outlets to the lower stage 54 is either the special entrance 23 provided at the front center of the lower stage 54 or the off-entrance entrance 63 provided on the left and right sides thereof. Enter the ball.

  In the gaming apparatus 22 having such a path of game balls, the direction of movement of the game ball on the lower stage 54 affects the entrance to the special entrance 23 and is a special entrance disposed in the vicinity of the lower stage 54. The entrance ball detection switch 66 detects entry of a game ball into the special entrance port 23.

  When performing an illegal act using vibration and magnetic force, the external force affects the direction of motion of the game ball rolling on the lower stage 54 in order to guide the game ball to the special entrance 23 located in front of the lower stage 54. In the case of performing an illegal act using radio waves, the purpose of the illegal act is to cause the special entrance entrance detection switch 66 that the game ball passes after entering the special entrance 23 to malfunction. . However, external forces such as vibration and magnetic force are not external forces that can be directly applied to only the game ball, but are generated toward the lower stage 54 for the purpose of guiding the game ball. Similarly, even in the case of external force such as radio waves, the special entrance entrance detection switch 66 is not visible from the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and therefore the lower part of the lower stage 54 serving as a passage after entering the special entrance 23. It will be issued towards.

  Therefore, in the case of appropriately detecting external forces such as vibration, magnetic force, and radio waves, which are fraudulent acts, it is effective to detect the external force immediately below the lower stage 54.

  Next, a first modification of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

As illustrated, in the first modification, the position of the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 in the gaming apparatus 22 is set close to the glass 13 and installed in a space immediately below the special entrance 23.

  Unauthorized acts using the external force during the game are naturally performed from the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, the external force is directed to the game board 21 from the glass 13 side. Therefore, when the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 is brought close to the glass 13, the external force applied from the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 affects the game ball on the lower stage 54 or the special entrance entrance detection switch 66. The external force can be detected before.

  Next, a second modification of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 10 is a partially enlarged A-A ′ section enlarged view of the gaming apparatus 22. In the second modification, the special entrance 23 is disposed away from the glass 13, and a space for arranging the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 is provided at a position between the special entrance 23 and the glass 13. In addition, the extra ball entrance 63 on the left and right of the special entrance 23 also moves to the back in the same manner as the special entrance 23, and a wall is formed at the front edge of the extra entrance 23 and the special entrance 23. A portion 67 is provided. As a result, the game balls released from any one of the middle outlet 60, the left outlet 61, and the right outlet 62 are within the range of movement up to the wall portion 67 and are closer to the glass 13 than the wall portion 67. Never do.

  With the above configuration, it is possible to detect an external force at a position outside the moving range of the game ball and close to the glass. In this configuration, the visibility of the special entrance 23 is slightly lowered, but the effect of detecting the external force before the external force affects the game ball or the special entrance entrance detection switch 66 is more than the first modification. It is difficult to guide the game ball to the special entrance 23 by external force while escaping from the detection.

  In the second embodiment, the effective installation position of the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 has been described using the gaming apparatus 22; however, the structure of the combination of the resin molded members and the installation position of the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 are described. It is not limited.

  Further, in the complex type pachinko gaming machine in which the honey-type game property used in the description of the second embodiment is combined with the digipachi-type game property, the cheating type used for each game property is vibration and vibration. Since the magnetic force and the digital type are radio waves, the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 capable of detecting vibration, magnetic force and external force of the radio waves with a single detector is an effective fraud detection means.

  In addition, in the embodiment, the coil 40 is cylindrical in the shape of the coil 40 of the magnetic vibration radio wave detector 33 and the shape of the conductor 44 and the sphere 41 suspended in the substantially horizontal center. As long as is hollow, the horizontal shape of the outer shell is not limited to a circle, but may be a polygonal shape. The outer shell may be a cone. The shape of the conductor 44 and the sphere 41 suspended at the substantially horizontal center is not limited to the shape of the embodiment as long as the conductor 44 and the sphere 41 are suspended in a cylindrical shape and capable of pendulum movement by vibration and magnetic force.
