Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine represented by a pachinko machine using a gaming ball.

Such a gaming machine includes a board unit having a board case that houses a control board for controlling a game inside, and the board unit includes a sealing mechanism (usually a sealing portion sealed by a sealing member). There are multiple types), and there are traces left when trying to cheat such as ROM exchange by opening the board unit, and it is known that it is easy to detect that fraud has been done Yes.
Further, by providing a plurality of the sealing members, these can be used individually, and a plurality of opening / closing operations (opening and sealing) are possible.

Furthermore, in order to connect wiring from the outside to the connector of the control board accommodated in the board case, the board case requires an opening. It is desirable to keep the size of the gap to a minimum by keeping the size corresponding to the shape of the connector as much as possible.
For this reason, it is necessary to separately develop and manufacture board cases for a plurality of types of control boards having different numbers and shapes of connectors.

In order to solve such a problem, conventionally, a board unit is not provided with a portion corresponding to the connector in the board case, but a member (connector cover) having an opening formed separately from the board case. A gaming machine equipped with is proposed.
In this way, even when the number and shape of connectors on the control boards of various gaming machines are different, there is no need to prepare board cases with different shapes, and only the connector cover can be replaced. Therefore, there is no extra effort or cost.

As for the gaming machine having such a configuration, for example, the following documents can be cited.
JP 2000-325628 A.

  However, the conventional connector cover described above has been improved in that it is not necessary to prepare a board case corresponding to various gaming machines by being separated from the board case. It is considered as a member that fills the gap between the connector and does not have a structure that gives sufficient strength. Therefore, by forcibly deforming the connector cover, a gap is formed. There was a risk of fraud with the connector.

  The present invention has been devised in view of such a problem, and an object thereof is to more reliably prevent an unauthorized attack from a connection window portion of a connector of a board case in a gaming machine.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a gaming machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments, a pachinko machine will be described for the sake of convenience. However, the present invention uses a ball ball game machine other than the pachinko machine (for example, an arrange ball machine, a sparrow ball game machine, etc.), and other game balls. The present invention can be applied to various types of gaming machines.

(Front configuration of pachinko machine)
FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a left side view of the pachinko machine 10, and FIG. 3 is a plan view thereof. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the inner frame 12, the front frame (set) 14, and the set plate 400 are opened with respect to the outer frame 11. (However, in FIG. 4, for the sake of convenience, the configuration in the game castle on the surface of the game board 30 (nail, center accessory, etc.) is shown blank, but the out port 36 is drawn).

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the pachinko machine 10 includes an outer frame 11 that forms an outer shell of the pachinko machine 10, and an inner frame 12 that is supported on one side of the outer frame 11 so as to be openable and closable. I have. The outer frame 11 is formed in a rectangular shape as a whole by a wooden plate material, and each plate material is assembled by a detachable fastener such as a small screw. The outer frame 11 may be made of light metal such as resin or aluminum in order to reduce the weight.
The opening / closing axis of the inner frame 12 is set so as to extend vertically on the opposite side of the game ball launching handle 18 (left side of the pachinko machine 10 in FIG. 1) as viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10. The inner frame 12 can be sufficiently opened to the front side with the axis as the center. The inner frame 12 is made of a synthetic resin, specifically, ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) resin. By doing so, the advantages of high viscosity and high impact resistance and low cost production are exhibited.

  The lower plate unit 13 is fixed to the inner frame 12 with a fastener such as a screw. On the front side of the lower plate unit 13, there are provided a lower plate 15, a ball release lever 17, a game ball launching handle 18, an ashtray 22, and a sound output port 24 (positions on the left and right upper ends of the inner frame 12). The lower tray 15 serving as a ball receiving tray is provided at a substantially central portion of the lower tray unit 13 and serves to stop a game ball discharged from the outlet 16 when the upper tray 19 described later becomes full. There is. The ball removal lever 17 is for removing a game ball in the lower plate 15. By moving the ball removal lever 17 to the left in FIG. 1, a predetermined position on the bottom surface of the lower plate 15 is opened, The game ball stopped in the tray 15 can be discharged through the opening on the bottom surface of the lower tray 15 to the player's ball storage box (dollar box).

The game ball launching handle 18 is disposed so as to protrude to the front side on the right side of the lower plate 15. In accordance with the operation of the game ball launch handle 18 by the player, the game ball is driven toward the game board 30 by the game ball launch device 38 (see FIG. 4). The game ball launcher 38 includes a game ball launch handle 18, a set handle, a launch motor, and the like, which will be described later.
The sound output port 24 is an output port for outputting sound from a speaker provided at the position of the upper left and right ends of the inner frame 12. Moreover, the ashtray 22 is provided on the left side of the lower tray 15 as shown in FIG. The ashtray 22 is supported so as to rotate (for example, forwardly toward the front side) about an axis line in the left-right direction (horizontal direction).

    Note that most of the lower dish unit 13 is molded of ABS resin in the same manner as the inner frame 12. By doing so, it is highly viscous and resistant to impact, and can be manufactured at low cost. In particular, the surface layer forming the lower plate 15 and the front panel portion at the back of the lower plate 15 are molded from flame-retardant ABS resin. For this reason, this part is hard to burn.

As shown in FIG. 4, the front frame 14 is attached to the inner frame 12 so as to be openable and closable. Like the inner frame 12, the front frame 14 has an open / close axis extending vertically to the left when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10. It can be opened forward with the heart. Moreover, the front frame 14 is attached so as to fit into the outer wall (rib) 12 b of the inner frame 12.
That is, since at least a part of the side surface of the front frame 14 is attached so as to fit into the outer wall (rib) 12b of the inner frame 12, foreign matter (needle-like shape) is formed from the gap between the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14. Or, it is a thin plate or the like, and specifically, it is possible to prevent illegal acts such as inserting a wire, a piano wire, a celluloid plate, etc.). Further, since the front frame 14 is made of a synthetic resin, specifically, an ABS resin, like the inner frame 12, the front frame 14 is highly viscous and resistant to impact, and can be manufactured at low cost.

  On the other hand, an upper plate 19 (see FIG. 1) as a receiving tray for game balls is provided integrally with the front frame 14 at a lower portion of the front frame 14 (above the lower plate 15 described above). The upper tray 19 is a ball receiving tray for temporarily storing the game balls and guiding them to the game ball launching device 38 while aligning them in a line. Similar to the lower plate 15, the upper plate 19 has a structure in which the surface layer is formed of flame-retardant ABS resin.

As shown in FIG. 4, the inner frame 12 is mainly configured by a resin base 20 having a rectangular outer shape, and a substantially circular window hole 21 is formed at the center of the resin base 20.
A game board 30 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is detachably mounted on the rear side of the resin base 20. As shown in FIG. 5, the game board 30 is made of a rectangular plywood, one upper corner is shouldered (described later), and its peripheral edge abuts on the back side of the resin base 20 (inner frame 12). It has been installed in the state.

  Accordingly, a substantially central portion of the front surface portion of the game board 30 is exposed to the front surface side of the inner frame 12 through the window hole 21 of the resin base 20 (FIG. 4 shows an out port 36 of the game board 30). ing). And here, a corner (corner) close to a pivoting portion of the game board 30 with respect to the outer frame 11 of the inner frame 12 (a pivoting centering on an opening / closing axis extending vertically to the left side when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10). However, as shown in FIG. 5, the corner is dropped (notched) 720 in a substantially triangular shape.

Next, the configuration of the game board 30 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a front view showing the configuration of the game board 30. Two pairs of general prize-winning ports 31 and 31 are positioned in a stepped manner at a slightly lower position on the left and right of the game board 30, and a starting hole 33 is disposed at the lower center of the game board 30. However, these sensors are provided on the back surface of the game board 30 and these sensors are connected to a main control board (main control device), which will be described later, through electric wiring (not shown).
When a game ball enters the general winning openings 31, 31 and the start opening 33, it is detected by the detection sensors, and based on the output of the detection sensors, the upper plate 19 (or the lower plate 15). When a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out and a game ball enters the start port 33, a lottery to be described later is started.

The detection results detected by the winning sensor are taken into a main control board, which will be described later, and a payout command (the number of game balls to be paid out) according to the winning situation is paid out from the main control board. Sent to the board. Then, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out by the output of the payout control board.
In such a case, a conventional method (so-called evidence ball method) in which game balls won in various winning openings are once collected in a winning ball processing device and paid out after the winning ball processing device confirms the presence of winning balls one by one in order. Unlike the above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the winning of a game ball is electrically detected for each winning opening and the payout is immediately made (that is, the winning ball processing apparatus is abolished in the pachinko machine 10). doing). Therefore, even if there are a lot of game balls to be paid out, the payout can be carried out quickly. However, the conventional “evidence ball system” may be applied to the present invention.

In addition, a decorative symbol display device 42 using a liquid crystal panel is disposed at the center of the game board 30, and through gates 34, 34 are disposed on the left and right side portions thereof. These through gates open and close the wings of the starting port 33 described later by passing the game ball.
In addition, a decorative member 35 having the above-described general winning ports 31 and 31 is provided at the lower left and right positions of the game board 30, and an out port 36 is provided at the lower part of the game board 30. A game ball that has not entered the apparatus or the like is guided through the out port 36 toward a ball discharge path (not shown) on the back of the game board 30. Further, the game board 30 is provided with a large number of guide nails for appropriately dispersing and adjusting the falling direction of the game balls, and a windmill having the same function.

  Further, the game board 30 is provided with a rail unit 50 for guiding the game ball launched from the game ball launching device 38 to the upper part of the game board 30, and is launched in accordance with the turning operation of the game ball launch handle 18. The played game balls are guided to a predetermined game area through the rail unit 50. The rail unit 50 is formed of a ring-shaped resin molded product (for example, a molded product added with fluororesin), and has an inner rail 51 and an outer rail 52 that are integrally formed in an inner and outer double. .

In addition, since the rail unit 50 is shape | molded by adding a fluororesin, it can reduce the frictional resistance of a game ball. The inner rail 51 is formed in a substantially annular shape except for about ¼ of the upper portion, and an outer rail 52 is formed so that a part (mainly the left side) faces the inner rail 51.
In such a case, a guide rail is constituted by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52, and a spherical guide passage is formed by a portion (the left portion facing) where the rails 51 and 52 are parallel to each other at a predetermined interval. The ball guide passage is formed in a groove shape having a contact surface with the game board 30, that is, a groove shape in which the front side is opened.

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to the tip portion of the inner rail 51 (the upper left portion in FIG. 5). This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the ball guide path between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 to the upper part of the game board 30 returns to the ball guide path again. Yes. Further, a return rubber 54 is attached to the outer rail 52 at a position corresponding to the maximum flight portion of the game ball (upper right portion in FIG. 5: a portion corresponding to the tip portion of the outer rail 52). Accordingly, the game ball fired at a predetermined momentum or more hits the return rubber 54 and rebounds. On the inner side surface of the outer rail 52, a sliding plate as a long metal strip made of stainless steel is attached to make the flight of the game ball smoother, that is, to reduce the frictional resistance of the game ball. It is worn.

  An arc-shaped flange 56 projecting outward is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the rail unit 50. The flange 56 constitutes a mounting surface for the game board 30. When the rail unit 50 is attached to the game board 30, the flange 56 is brought into contact with the game board 30, and in this state, screws or the like are inserted into a plurality of through holes formed in the flange 56. The rail unit 50 is fastened to 30.

A convex portion 57 is formed at the entrance of the ball guide passage between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 so as to close a part of the ball guide passage. The convex portion 57 is provided in a substantially vertical direction from the inner rail 51 to the lower end portion of the rail unit 50, and serves to guide the foul ball that does not reach the game area and flows backward in the ball guide passage to the foul ball passage. .
Note that the lower right corner and the lower left corner of the game board 30 are spaces for sticking stickers (S1 and S2 in FIG. 5) such as certificate stamps (for example, serial numbers are described) and plates. In order to secure this adhering space, notches 58 and 59 are formed in the flange 56. By sticking a sticker such as a certificate (S1, S2 in FIG. 7) to the lower right corner or the lower left corner of the game board 30, the game board 30 and the certificate can be uniquely defined.

Next, the game area will be described. The game area is partitioned and formed in a substantially circular shape by the inner periphery (inner and outer rails) of the rail unit 50. In the present embodiment, the game area is an area excluding the area of the guide rail that is a parallel part of the inner and outer rails 51 and 52 among the area surrounded by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10. It is said.
Therefore, when it is referred to as a game area, the guide rail portion is not included, and the left limit position toward the game area is specified not by the outer rail 52 but by the inner rail 51. Similarly, the right limit position toward the game area is specified by the inner rail 51. Further, the lower limit position of the game castle is specified by the lower end position of the game board 30. Further, the upper limit position of the game area is specified by the outer rail 52.

  In the resin base, below the window hole 21 (game board 30), a launch rail for guiding the game ball immediately after being launched from the game ball launcher 38 is attached. The launch rail is fixedly attached to the resin base via a metal plate behind the launch rail, and is configured to extend linearly at a predetermined launch angle (launch angle). Accordingly, the game ball that is launched in accordance with the turning operation of the game ball launch handle 18 is first launched obliquely upward along the launch rail, and then guided to a predetermined game area through the ball guide passage of the rail unit 50 as described above. It has come to be.

  Further, there is a gap of a predetermined interval between the launch rail and the rail unit 50 (guidance rail), and a foul ball passage is formed below this gap. Therefore, if the game ball launched from the game ball launching device 38 does not reach the return ball prevention member 53 and returns to the inside of the guide rail as a foul ball, the foul ball passes through the foul ball passage 15 to the lower plate 15. To be discharged.

  When the foul spheres flow backward in the guide rail, most of them flow along the outer rail 52 and drop downward when reaching the lower end of the outer rail 52. However, some foul spheres fall inside the guide rail. There is also a thing that jumps to the inner rail 51 side. At this time, the splashed foul ball hits the convex portion 57 at the entrance of the ball guide passage and is guided to the foul ball passage. As a result, all of the foul balls are reliably guided to the foul ball passage. Interference between the ball and the next-launched game ball is suppressed.

  Although detailed disclosure of the drawings is omitted, game balls are supplied to the game ball launcher 38 one by one from the ball outlet on the front frame 14 side (ball outlet leading from the most downstream portion of the upper plate 19). Further, the game ball launching device 38 is provided with a ball striking ball, and the game ball is launched with the rotation of the ball striking center around the shaft portion.

  A reference numeral 67 in FIG. 4 is a discharge port communicating with the upper plate 19, and the game ball is discharged to the upper plate 19 through the discharge port 67.
