Next, the operation of the first embodiment configured as described above will be described.
The player operates the operation handle 39 to launch a game ball onto the game surface 9. In the middle of the game ball launched into the game surface 9, the ball descends while being interfered with an obstacle such as a nail (not shown), and some enters the winning opening 12, and some enters the out ball collection opening 17 without entering the winning opening 12. .
Here, the game ball entering the winning opening 12 is a safe ball. The safe ball is detected by the sensor (not shown) that it has passed through the winning opening 12 and is output from the sensor to the input / output board. Based on this output, prize ball discharge processing, variable display processing of the variable display device 13, and the like are performed. Since this safe ball will no longer be required in this pachinko machine, the first to third from the back of the game surface 9
Falls into one of the ball paths 48-50. On the other hand, the game ball that has entered the out ball collection port 17 is regarded as an out ball. The out ball is a game ball that has been played without entering the winning opening 12. Since this is no longer necessary in this pachinko machine, it is guided rearward from the out ball collection port 17 and falls onto the second ball passage 49.
A safe ball or an out ball (hereinafter simply referred to as a pachinko ball) that has fallen into any of the first to third ball passages 48 to 50 rolls toward the discharge hole 51 in the left-right direction according to the inclination. First
The pachinko ball that has fallen into the second ball passage 48 rolls in the right direction and once falls onto the second ball passage 49. The pachinko ball that has fallen onto the second ball passage 49 rolls in the right direction and falls into the discharge hole 51. The pachinko ball that has fallen onto the third ball passage 50 rolls leftward and the discharge hole 5
Falls into 1. The fallen pachinko ball descends the discharge passage 52 and is discharged (collected) out of the machine. Since the second and third ball passages 49 and 50 of the first embodiment are inclined forward and downward, the pachinko balls approach the back plate 63 side of the game board 5 while flowing down toward the discharge hole 51. Will come.

Here, the first to third ball passages 48 to 50 have a structure in which dust is easily collected because dirty pachinko balls pass intensively. However, the second and third ball passages 49 and 50 are inclined forward, and dust moves to the inclined front side mainly due to vibration caused by the fall of the pachinko balls onto the ball passages 48 to 50. . In addition, a gap Q is formed in front of the second and third ball passages 49 and 50 as shown in FIGS. 7A and 10, and dust enters the first ball receiving plate 53 from the gap Q. It will fall.
By the way, the components of the pachinko machine are distorted or slackened due to the use over time, and the back plate 63 of the upper cover plate 35 is not arranged at the front reference position P due to the influence, and a part or all of the gap Q is larger than the pachinko ball. If it becomes, the pachinko ball may fall downward from the enlarged gap Q. At this time, the fallen pachinko balls are the first and second
Are received by the ball receiving plates 53 and 57 and rolled as they are along the inclination of the ball receiving plates 53 and 57, and returned to the discharge passage 52 from the openings 55 and 59, respectively.

With this configuration, the first embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Second and third ball passages 4 due to vibrations of falling pachinko balls or vibrations generated during games
The dust accumulated in 9, 50 moves forward according to the inclination, and finally falls downward from the gap Q and accumulates on the first and second ball receiving plates 53, 57. For this reason, even when used over time, the pachinko balls do not accumulate in the second and third ball passages 49 and 50 and do not easily roll or become dirty.
(2) As described above, even when the gap Q becomes larger than the pachinko sphere and the pachinko sphere falls downward from the enlarged gap Q, the fallen pachinko sphere is the first and second spheres. Since it is received by the receiving plates 53 and 57 and rolls along the inclination of the ball receiving plates 53 and 57 as they are and is returned to the discharge passage 52 from the openings 55 and 59, the pachinko balls to be collected cannot be taken out. Problems such as remaining in the plane will not occur.

Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, when the inclination is set only in one direction, the X position and the Y position are particularly in contact with the pachinko sphere in aged use, and the wear of that part,
There is also a possibility of stress concentration and cracking. However, in the third embodiment, the pachinko ball finally guided to the discharge hole 51 according to the inclination in the left-right direction flows down while being disturbed in the front-rear direction by the front lowering portions 91a, 95a and the rear lowering portions 91b, 95b. The pachinko ball is not in contact with only the location intensively.

With this configuration, the third embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Second and third ball passages 9 due to vibrations of falling pachinko balls or vibrations generated during the game
The dust accumulated in 1 and 95 moves forward or backward according to the inclination, and finally falls downward from the slit 69 and accumulates on the first and second ball receiving plates 53 and 57. For this reason, even when used over time, the pachinko balls do not easily accumulate on the second and third ball passages 91 and 95 and do not become dirty.
(2) Since the pachinko spheres flow down while being disturbed in the front-rear direction by the front descending portions 91a and 95a and the rear descending portions 91b and 95b, the pachinko balls do not intensively contact only one place. Therefore, the second and third ball passages 91 and 95, the second back wall 61, the back plate 63 of the game board 5, and the like are less likely to be worn or cracked.

(Embodiment 4)
Hereinafter, the fourth embodiment is a modification of the third embodiment. The same members as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawings as in the third embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted and different parts will be mainly described.
On the right side of the upper tray delivery passage 45, a second spherical passage 97 is disposed which is lowered by one step with respect to the first spherical passage 48. As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the second spherical passage 97 as a whole is inclined to the right and is twisted so that the angle gradually changes from the front lowering portion 97a to the rear lowering portion 97b. It is a board surface. In the fourth embodiment, a plurality of front falling portions 97a and rear falling portions 97b are alternately formed. A slit 98 is formed at the base of the rear lowering portion 97b near the second back wall 61. The right end of the second ball passage 97 is connected to the discharge hole 51. A third ball passage 99 is arranged on the right side of the discharge hole 51. As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 , the third spherical passage 99 is inclined to the left as a whole, and at the same time, is twisted to gradually change the angle from the front lowering portion 99a to the rear lowering portion 99b. It is a board surface. A slit 98 is formed at the base of the rear descending portion 99b near the second back wall 61. A meandering discharge passage 52 is disposed below the discharge hole 51. In the first embodiment, the second and third ball passages 49 and 50 occupy three quarters or more of the total length of the ball passage.
In the third embodiment, the front ends of the second and third ball passages 97 and 99 are set to be slightly retreated from the front reference position P which is the reference of the front surface of the pachinko ball delivery unit 43. That is, as shown in FIG. 19, the pachinko ball delivery unit 43 is in close contact with the back plate 63 of the game board 5 at the front reference position P, and there is a gap Q at the front ends of the second and third ball passages 97 and 99.

There is also a possibility of stress concentration and cracking. However, in the fourth embodiment, the pachinko ball finally guided to the discharge hole 51 according to the inclination in the left-right direction flows down while being disturbed in the front-rear direction by the front lowering portions 97a, 99a and the rear lowering portions 95b, 99b. The pachinko ball is not in contact with only the location intensively.

With this configuration, the fourth embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Second and third ball passages 9 due to vibrations of falling pachinko balls or vibrations generated during the game
The dust accumulated in 7, 99 moves forward or backward according to the inclination, and finally falls downward from the slit 69 and accumulates on the first and second ball receiving plates 53, 57. For this reason, even when used over time, the pachinko balls do not easily accumulate on the second and third ball passages 66 and 67 and do not become dirty.
(2) Since the pachinko spheres flow down while being disturbed in the front-rear direction by the front descending parts 97a and 99a and the rear descending parts 95b and 99b, the pachinko spheres do not intensively contact only one place. Therefore, the second and third ball passages 97 and 99, the second back wall 61, the back plate 63 of the game board 5, and the like are not easily worn or cracked.

The present invention can be implemented with the following modifications.
Application of the detachable first and second ball receiving plates 69 and 77 of the second embodiment to the first embodiment. Conversely, the first and second ball receiving plates 69 and 77 of the second embodiment may be made detachable.
In the second embodiment, for example, the third ball passage 66, the second back wall 61, and the first ball receiving plate 7
7 is a separate body, and the third ball passage 66 and the first ball receiving plate 77 can be separately exchanged. As shown in FIG. 21, the passage 101, the back wall 102, and the ball receiving plate 1
03 may be replaced as an integral unit structure 104.
