It is positioned at the position. The passage sandwiched between the branch side wall 57 and the switch upper support wall 57B and the branch passage partition wall 55 and including the insertion hole 54H is the first branch passage 59A according to the present invention, and the first The lower end portion of the branch passage 59A is the first branch discharge port 52A described above. The detection switch 54 has a built-in coil so as to surround the insertion hole 54H, thereby detecting that the game ball has passed through the insertion hole 54H.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the opposite side of the first branch passage 59A across the branch passage partition wall 55 in the selection box 52 is a second branch passage 59B. Specifically, a switch side receiving portion 55D is formed at a position slightly lower than the switch tip receiving portion 55C on the surface of the branch passage partition wall 55 opposite to the first branch passage 59A. A switch side receiving portion 53G is formed at a position facing the switch side receiving portion 55D. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a laterally long rectangular switch insertion hole 53N is formed through the rear wall 53E at a position corresponding to the switch side portion receiving portion 55D and the switch side portion receiving portion 53G. Further, the detection switch 54 having the same structure as the detection switch 54 of the first branch passage 59A is inserted into the switch insertion hole 53N and supported on both sides by the switch side receiving portion 55D and the switch side receiving portion 53G. The insertion hole 54H is positioned at a position just above the space between the branch passage partition wall 55 and the surrounding wall 53F. The portion including the insertion hole 54H and sandwiched between the branch passage partition wall 55 and the branch case 53 is the second branch passage 59B according to the present invention, and the lower end portion of the second branch passage 59B is the above-described portion. The second branch outlet 52B.

  As shown in FIG. 8, an inclined plate portion 56 is provided above the switch upper support wall 57B. The inclined plate portion 56 has a flat plate shape that is inclined and extended so as to gently fall from the lower position of the relay entrance 52C toward the upper position of the standing branch side wall 57C. Then, the game ball that has entered the relay entrance 52C is guided to the first branch passage 59A side. The upper surface of the inclined plate portion 56 corresponds to the “slope” of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 7, horizontally long slits 58H are formed in the rear wall 53E at a position sandwiched between the upright branch side wall 57C (see FIG. 8) and the inclined plate portion 56 (see FIG. 8) from above and below. The distribution member 58 is slidably supported by the slit 58H. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the distribution member 58 has a movable distribution piece 58 </ b> A projecting forward from the end on the first branch passage 59 </ b> A side of the slider 58 </ b> E extending in parallel with the distribution member 58. Has a structure. A slide piece 58T protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the slider 58E. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a rear cover 53C is fixed on the rear surface side of the rear wall 53E so as to be overlapped. Then, the slider 58E is assembled between the rear wall 53E and the rear cover 53C, the movable distributing piece 58A is inserted through the slit 58H and protrudes forward (see FIG. 7), and the slide piece 58T is rear-covered. It is received in a guide groove 58M formed in 53C (see FIG. 9) and supported so as to be linearly movable in the left-right direction of the selection box 52.

  A solenoid 60 for driving the sorting member 58 is assembled below the slider 58E between the rear wall 53E and the rear cover 53C. The solenoid 60 is provided in a state in which the linear motion rod 61 protrudes from one end surface of the left and right direction away from the first branch passage 59A. When the solenoid 60 is energized, the direct acting rod 61 is drawn toward the first branch passage 59A, while when the energization is stopped, the direct acting rod 61 is moved away from the first branch passage 59A by a compression coil spring (not shown). It is like that. In addition, a resin cap (not shown) is attached to the linear motion rod 61 so that both ends of the link 62 can be rotated between the resin cap and the end of the slider 58E on the side away from the movable distributing piece 58A. In addition to being connected, an intermediate portion of the link 62 is rotatably supported by a rotation support pin (not shown) provided in the branch case 53. Thereby, the distribution member 58 moves linearly with the linear movement of the linear motion rod 61.

  As shown in FIGS. 10A and 11A, when the distribution member 58 is disposed at one end of the movable range, the movable distribution piece 58A is accommodated below the inclined plate portion 56 and the first and first Both of the two branch passages 59A and 59B are opened upward, so that the game ball rolling on the inclined plate portion 56 can enter both the first and second branch passages 59A and 59B. At the same time, the game ball is likely to enter the first branch passage 59A closer to the inclined plate portion 56 than the second branch passage 59B. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10B and 11B, when the sorting member 58 is disposed at the other end of the movable range, the movable sorting piece 58 </ b> A is first from the front end side of the inclined plate portion 56. It protrudes to the branch passage 59A side, prohibits game balls from entering the first branch passage 59A, and allows the game balls to enter only the second branch passage 59B.

  Here, when the movable distribution piece 58A moves from the lower side of the inclined plate portion 56 toward the first branch passage 59A, the branch passage partition wall 55 and the insertion hole 54H of the first branch passage 59A and the movable distribution piece 58A. In order to avoid a situation where the game ball is held between them, the movable sorting piece 58A and the branch passage partition wall 55 are provided with the following structure. That is, as shown in FIG. 11A, the tip edge 58D of the movable sorting piece 58A has an arc shape. The apex on the second branch passage 59B side of the front end edge 58D and the apex on the second branch passage 59B side of the insertion hole 54H are shifted in the front-rear direction of the selection box 52 and also shifted in the vertical direction. ing. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 11C, even if the game ball is sandwiched between the inner surface of the insertion hole 54H and the tip edge 58D of the movable sorting piece 58A, the contact point between the inner surface of the insertion hole 54H and the game ball. P2, the tip edge 58D of the movable sorting piece 58A and the contact point P1 of the game ball are not aligned in the linear motion direction of the movable sorting piece 58A, and the game ball is hardly held. Further, as shown in FIG. 10C, a guide inclined surface 58C is formed on the lower surface of the distal end of the movable sorting piece 58A, and when the movable sorting piece 58A presses the game ball, the game ball is guided downward. It has come to be. Further, the branch passage partition wall 55 is provided with a pair of inclined protruding walls 55G and 55G that cover the opening edge of the insertion hole 54H in the detection switch 54, and the upper surfaces of these inclined protruding walls 55G are inclined toward the detection switch 54. However, it is slightly rounded so as to swell upward. This makes it easier for the game ball to slide down from the inclined protruding wall 55G into the insertion hole 54H. Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, the movable vibration piece 58A is movable so that the game ball rolls smoothly on the upper surface of the movable vibration piece 58A with the first branch passage 59A closed. An inclined surface 58B is provided on the upper surface of the segment 58A.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a predetermined plurality of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 27A together when the game balls pass through either the first or second branch passages 59A, 59B. Then, if even one game ball enters the first branch passage 59A between the time when the movable door 19T is opened once and the time when the movable door 19T is closed, a privilege advantageous to the player is given. That is, the selection box 52 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to give a privilege to a player based on a difference in a route through which the game ball branches and flows down. In the following, the contents of the privilege drawn in the selection box 52 will be described together with the contents of the entire game of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  That is, the movable door 19T is normally closed, and in order to open the movable door 19T, it is necessary to make a game ball enter the second type start winning opening 14B. However, the second type start winning opening 14B is normally closed by the movable wings 14G and 14G, and in order to open the movable wings 14G and 14G, the game ball is passed through the start gate 18 and the movable wings 14G and 14G are opened. It is necessary to make the pachinko gaming machine 10 determine whether or not to open 14G. However, in a normal gaming state, even if a game ball passes through the start gate 18 and obtains a win / fail determination result, the movable wings 14G and 14G open only for a short time of less than 1 second. A game ball does not enter the second type start winning opening 14B, and the movable door 19T does not open.

  However, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is switched from the normal gaming state to the second type game executable state, the movable wings 14G, 14G are detected when a game ball passes through the start gate 18 and a win / fail determination result is obtained. The ball opens for several seconds, and a game ball can enter the second type start winning opening 14B. In order to enter the second type game executable state, it is necessary to cause a game ball to enter the first type start winning opening 14A and execute the first type big hit game.

  When a game ball enters the first type start winning opening 14A, the first type big hit game is executed in the following cases. That is, when a game ball enters the first-type start winning opening 14A, a first-type hit determination right for determining whether or not to perform “first-type big hit game” is generated, and the determination result is displayed on the display screen 13G. Is displayed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, three left, middle, and right first special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are normally displayed side by side on the liquid crystal screen 13G. Each of these first special symbols is composed of, for example, a plurality of types representing numbers “0” to “9”. Usually, each first special symbol 13A, 13B, 13C has a predetermined type. Stuff is displayed stopped. Then, when a game ball enters the first type start winning opening 14A, these three first special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C are displayed in a variable manner (scrolled in the vertical direction), and based on the determination result. After a predetermined time, for example, the first special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are stopped and displayed in the order of left, middle, and right. At this time, if the determination result is “winning”, for example, all the first special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C have the same symbol, that is, a doublet (see FIG. 2). Is executed. On the other hand, when the determination result is “out”, the game is stopped and displayed in a combination other than a doublet and the normal gaming state continues.

  When the first type big hit game is executed, the movable door 15T falls to the front side, and the first type big winning opening 15 opens, and the game ball enters the first type big winning opening 15 using the movable door 15T as a guide. You can enter the ball. Here, a period from when the movable door 15T is opened until it is closed is referred to as a “round”. In one round, the opening time of the movable door 15T has reached 30 seconds, or the first type big prize opening. The process ends when any of the ending conditions for entering 10 game balls into 15 is satisfied first. Further, the “first type big hit game” is continued up to, for example, 16 rounds.

  Also, the game balls that entered the first type start winning opening 14A while the first special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C were variably displayed on the liquid crystal screen 13G or during the “first type big hit game” For example, the number is cumulatively counted up to four, that is, up to four first-type hit / no-judgment determination rights are held, and the number of holds is on-hold that can be visually recognized through the information notification visual recognition unit 43V (see FIG. 12). The number is displayed by the number of LEDs 51 (see FIG. 5) that are turned on. Then, when the first special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C are stopped and displayed in the off symbol combination or when the “first type big hit game” is ended, again based on the reserved first type right / wrong judgment right, Variation display of the first special symbols 13A, 13B, 13C is started.

  When the 16th round of the first type big hit game ends, the pachinko gaming machine 10 switches from the normal gaming state to the second type gaming executable state. Then, as described above, when the success / failure determination result of the success / failure determination performed by passing the game ball through the start gate 18 is successful, the movable wings 14G and 14G are opened for several seconds, and the second type start is performed. A game ball can enter the winning opening 14B. Specifically, when the game ball passes through the start gate 18, a normal symbol determination right / no-right determination right for determining whether or not to open the movable wings 14G and 14G of the second type start winning opening 14B is generated. It is displayed in the normal symbol display area 38 (see FIGS. 2 and 12) provided at the lower right corner of the liquid crystal screen 13G. Specifically, in the normal symbol display area 38, for example, numbers from “0” to “9” are variably displayed over a predetermined period, and then the predetermined number is fixedly displayed. For example, in the case where the final number displayed is an odd number, it becomes “winning” and the movable wings 14G and 14G of the second type start winning opening 14B are opened for several seconds. Further, for example, up to four game balls that have passed through the start gate 18 while the normal symbol display area 38 is variably displayed, that is, up to four normal symbol success / failure determination rights are held and stored. The hold number is displayed on a hold number display section (not shown). Then, when the normal symbol display area 38 is removed and stopped and displayed as a number, or when the “second type big hit game” to be described later is completed, the normal symbol display area 38 is again made based on the held normal symbol success / failure determination right. The change display of is started.

  When a game ball enters the second type start winning opening 14B, a second type determination right / no-right determination right for determining whether or not to open the movable door 19T of the second type large winning opening 19 is generated. It is displayed in the second special symbol display area 39 (see FIG. 2) provided at the upper right corner of the liquid crystal screen 13G. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, two left and right second special symbols 39 </ b> A and 39 </ b> B are normally displayed side by side in the second special symbol display area 39. Each of these second special symbols is composed of, for example, a plurality of types representing numbers “0” to “9”. Usually, each second special symbol 39A, 39B has a predetermined type. Is displayed. Then, when a game ball enters the second type start winning opening 14B, these two second special symbols 39A and 39B are displayed in a variable manner (scrolled in the vertical direction), and for a predetermined time based on the determination result Later, for example, the second special symbols 39A and 39B are stopped and displayed in the order of left and right. At this time, if the determination result is “win”, for example, the two second special symbols 39A and 39B are the same symbol, that is, a doublet (see FIG. 2), and The movable door 19T is opened for several seconds. On the other hand, when the determination result is “out”, the game is stopped and displayed in a combination other than a doublet and the normal gaming state continues. In addition, the number of game balls that have entered the second type start winning port 14B while the second special symbols 39A and 39B are variably displayed on the liquid crystal screen 13G is cumulatively counted up to, for example, four. , Up to four second-type hit / no-go determination rights are also held, and the number of holds is displayed on a hold number display section (not shown). Then, as with the suspension of the first type winning / failing determination right, when the second special symbol 39A, 39B is stopped and displayed with the symbol combination out of place, or when the “second type big hit game” to be described later is finished, the second special symbol 39A, 39B is suspended. The second special symbol 39A, 39B is displayed again on the basis of the second-type right / no-go determination right.

  When the movable door 19T is opened for several seconds, the game ball can enter the second type big prize opening 19 with the movable door 19T as a guide. In addition, the movable door 19T is movable when the opening condition has reached 2 seconds, or when the end condition of either 5 game balls entering the second kind big prize opening 19 is satisfied first. The door 19T closes. Then, when the game ball enters the second type grand prize winning port 19, the player is given the “first” according to which of the first and second branch passages 59A and 59B goes down on the inclined plate portion 56. A lottery is performed as to whether or not to execute “type 2 big hit game”. Specifically, the “second type big hit game” is executed when the ball enters the first branch passage 59A. In addition, when one of the conditions has elapsed, that is, one second has passed since the movable door 19T opened or one game ball entered the first branch passage 59A, the distribution member 58 The movable sorting piece 58A blocks the first branch passage 59A, and the game ball can enter only the second branch passage 59B. That is, “win” is awarded when the first branch passage 59A is won within one second after the movable door 19T of the second type big prize opening 19 is opened, and “missed” is awarded when no prize is won. When the second type big hit game is executed, the game ball can enter the first type big winning opening 15 as in the case of the “first type big hit game” and is continued up to 16 rounds.

  The description regarding the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has been described above. Next, the effect of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described. When the player starts the game with the pachinko gaming machine 10, the game is made to the first type start winning opening 14A in order to execute the first type big hit game in order to switch from the normal game state to the second type game executable state. The operation knob 28 is operated with the aim of entering the ball. Specifically, the game ball flowing down to the left of the display decoration frame 23 is easier to enter the first type start winning opening 14A than the game ball flowing down to the right side. A so-called left-handed operation is performed in which the operation knob 28 is operated so that the game ball flows down to the left side of the frame 23. Of the left-handed game balls, the game ball that has entered the starting opening 46X of the panel 42 from the rolling receiving port 40A via the rolling part 35 enters the first type start winning opening 14A. It becomes easy to sphere. For this reason, the player enters the left-handed game ball into the rolling receiving port 40A and rolls on the rolling part 35, and the game ball enters the start end opening 46X of the panel 42, Alternatively, it will be noted whether the ball falls from the front end rolling discharge portion 35A without entering the starting end opening 46X.

  When a game ball enters the first-type start winning opening 14A, the first-type hit / no-go determination right is granted and the first-type hit / no-go determination is performed. Executed. In addition, the number of held type 1 right / no-go determination rights held can be determined by lighting the number-of-holding display LEDs 51 behind the information notification visual recognition unit 43V on the panel 42. After the first type big hit game is executed, the state is switched to the second type game executable state. Then, the player operates the operation knob 28 so as to cause the game ball to flow down to the right side of the display decoration frame 23 aiming at the game ball entering the second type start winning opening 14B, so-called right-handed. . Then, when the player enters the second type start winning opening 14B, the second type hit / no-go determination right is given and the second type hit / no-go determination is performed.

  When the second type big hit game is executed, the movable door 19T is opened, and a game ball enters the second type big winning opening 19. Then, a game ball is taken into the selection box 52 from the second type grand prize winning opening 19, where the game ball is distributed to either the first or second branch passage 59A, 59B, and the first branch passage 59A is passed through. Only when the game ball passes, the second type game continuation determination right for receiving the determination as to whether or not the second type game executable state is continued is granted. The distribution processing to the first and second branch passages 59A and 59B can be visually recognized through the information notification visual recognition portion 43V of the panel 42.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the selection effect viewing portion 43W is provided on the panel 42 behind the rolling portion 35, and the selection box 52 is disposed behind the selection effect viewing portion 43W. The rolling part 35 is not narrowed by the selection box 52 as in the prior art, and the rolling part 35 is moved by a slight movement of the line of sight substantially the same as the case where a part of the rolling part 35 is the selection box 52. Both the rolling motion of the game ball and the sorting process in the selection box 52 can be visually recognized. That is, according to the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to entertain the game for a long time without reducing the preference of the rolling operation. In addition, since the hold number display LED 51 for notifying the player of the game state is arranged behind the information notification visual recognition part 43V provided on the panel 42, the rolling operation of the game ball and the distribution process are performed. In addition to both, information on the gaming state (for example, information on the number of holdings) notified by the holding number display LED 51 can also be visually recognized with a slight movement of the line of sight. In addition, the panel 42 has a starting opening 46X for allowing the game ball to flow down advantageously for the player. Therefore, in addition to the rolling operation of the game ball, the sorting process, and the information on the hold number display LED 51, Whether or not the game ball flows into the starting end opening 46X can be visually recognized with a slight movement of the line of sight.

  In addition, since the information notification visual recognition part 43V and the selection effect visual recognition part 43W are provided side by side in the left-right direction in which the rolling part 35 extends, for example, game media balls on the rolling part 35 It is possible to visually recognize the information notification visual recognition part 43V and the selection effect visual recognition part 43W along the rolling direction. Further, in the selection box 52, the first and second branch passages 59A, 59B are arranged in the direction in which the rolling part 35 extends, that is, in the left-right direction of the game board 11 which is also the rolling direction of the game ball in the rolling part 35. Since they are arranged side by side, in both the selection box 52 and the rolling unit 35, attention can be paid to the movement of the game ball in the left-right direction, and an effect can be provided by the movement of the game ball with a sense of unity. . In addition, the rolling portion 35 is inclined so as to go down from the left and right end portions of the display decoration frame 23 toward the center, and the branch case 53 is directed from one end portion of the display decoration frame 23 toward the center. Since the inclined plate portion 56 is provided so as to be lowered, it is possible to provide an effect by the operation of the game ball having a sense of unity in this respect. In addition, since the second type large winning opening 19 and the rolling receiving port 40A are separately arranged on the right side and the left side of the entry restricting projection wall 23K of the display decorative frame 23, the display decorative frame is included in the game area. It is possible to be interested in the flow-down state of the game ball in each of the case where the game ball flows down the area on the right side of 23 and the case where the game ball flows down in the area on the left side of the display decoration frame 23. .

  Further, if the rear of the entire panel 42 is configured to be visible, the operation of a game ball flowing down the rear of the game board 11 or a member such as a board (not shown) provided at the rear of the game board 11 is noticeable. However, the panel 42 of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a decorative panel that surrounds each viewing portion and hides the inside of the panel 42 so as not to be visible. Since 47 is provided, such a fear is eliminated. Further, since a part of the transmissive panel plate 43A is partitioned as the selection effect visualizing part 43W by the partition rib 45 protruding rearward from the transmissive panel plate 43A, the selection effect visualizing part 43W and the other boundary are clear. become. And since the branch case 53 is assembled | attached in the state which surface-contacted to the inner surface of the division rib 45, the sense of unity with the branch case 53 and the panel 42 can be improved. In addition, the movement of the game ball from the rolling unit 35 to the selection box 52 is prohibited, and the game ball that has entered from the second type big prize opening 19 is received by the selection box 52, so that the game ball from the rolling unit 35 is received. Therefore, the possibility of giving a privilege can be reduced.
