However, in the pachinko machine according to the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the movement of the ball when the ball launched into the right half of the game board flows down toward the accessory structure is monotonous, and the ball is launched. As soon as the player feels the irritating and throbbing feeling until it is taken into the object structure, it is difficult to say that the original playability of the two-type gaming machine is fully exhibited.
In addition, since the blade member that opens and closes the winning opening of the accessory structure opens and closes independently for a wide area in the right half, the open state of the blade and the range of the winning opening can be visually recognized. As a result, the player cannot sensuously recognize whether or not the ball that is continuously launched can be won, resulting in a decrease in the fun of the game in the two-type game.

  Therefore, the present invention does not make the movement of the sphere monotonous when flowing down toward the accessory structure in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, and further allows the player to determine the open state of the blade member and the range of the winning opening. An object of the present invention is to provide a game board that can be visually recognized.

In order to solve the above problems, as a first configuration of the present invention, there is a game area in which a game ball is launched with a left guide portion and a right guide portion, and a joint portion between the left guide portion and the right guide portion as a base point A board decoration that divides the area into a left area and a right area, and a special area that is arranged in the right area and that triggers the start of a big hit game by passing a game ball that flows down the right area by guidance of the right guiding section A game board of a pachinko machine equipped with an accessory structure, which is provided on a game board downstream of the right guide part and guided by a guide passage that terminates on the right side of the right end part of the right guide part. a guide portion to guide the game ball flowing down the right region towards visibly right to the player, provided downstream of the induction unit, proceed entering into the character object structure of the game balls flowing down the right area Blades that allow in open state It was configured to include the door.

In addition, since the game ball is guided downward along the guide passage to the right side and then falls downward, it takes a long time until the game ball guided to the right region by the right side guide unit is taken into the accessory structure. It becomes possible to take.
Further, as the second configuration has an inclined direction substantially barriers to tilt in the same direction of the blade member in an open state induction portion from the end portion of the guide channel, character object structure on the downstream side of the blade member It was configured with a prize opening.
According to this configuration, in addition to the effects resulting from the construction, since it has a tilt direction substantially barriers to tilt in the same direction of the blade member in an open state induction portion from the end portion of the guide channel, the disabilities An area that is closed in the vertical direction is formed by the wall and the blade member in the open state, and an area in which the player can easily be visually taken into the winning opening of the accessory structure provided on the downstream side of the blade member. It becomes possible to recognize.
Further, as the third configuration, it is disposed in the left side area, and start winning component can incorporate a induced game balls by left guiding portion, provided downstream of the guiding portion in the right region, a game to start winning parts The system includes a winning component that opens during the big hit game that is started when the ball is taken in or when the game ball passes through the special area.
According to this configuration, a special winning part for opening movement during the jackpot gaming is by that provided below the induction unit, game ball that was also punched in the character object structure side during jackpot gaming is induced Since it falls down after being guided toward the right side along the passage, it becomes possible to take a lot of time until the game ball guided to the accessory structure side by the right side guide portion is taken into the winning component. Thus, it is possible to make the player surely recognize the process until the game ball is taken into the winning component.
The summary of the invention does not enumerate all necessary features of the present invention, and individual configurations constituting the feature group can also be the invention.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail through embodiments of the invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and all combinations of features described in the embodiments are included in the invention. It is not always essential to the solution.

FIG. 1 is an overall front view of a pachinko machine 10 as an example of a gaming machine. The outline of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG. In the present specification, the up, down, left, and right directions are directions represented by arrows in FIG.
The pachinko machine 10 has a game area 11A in which a ball is launched, a game board 11 that is detachably attached to an inner frame that is formed in a frame shape, and a shaft that can be opened and closed in the front-rear direction. And an outer frame 13 to be supported. In front of the game board 11, a window 12 that is pivotally supported so as to be opened and closed in the front-rear direction of the inner frame is provided, and the front of the game board 11 is closed.
A launching handle 14 is pivotally attached to the lower side of the pachinko machine 10, and the launching mechanism (not shown) is driven when the launching handle 14 is turned by a player's operation. When the launching mechanism is driven, the ball stored in the upper plate structure 16 is launched upward through the launch passage 15, and the outer guide rail 18 and the inner guide rail 17 attached to the front surface of the game board 11 Enter into the enclosed game area 11A.

  An unillustrated symbol display device such as an LCD, a CRT, or a rotating drum type is attached to the center of the game board 11 through a mounting opening 19 that opens in the front-rear direction. In addition, a board decoration 20 that protrudes forward so as to surround the symbol display device is fixed to the game board 11 around the mounting opening 19. Although illustration is omitted, a large number of guide nails are planted on the game board 11, and the ball launched into the game area 11A flows down while being guided by the guide nails.

  The board decoration 20 has a function of decorating the game board 11 and guiding a ball launched into the game area 11A. The board decoration 20 has a plurality of base plates 21 formed around it, and is attached to the front surface of the game board 11 through screw holes formed in each base plate 21. Each base plate 21 protrudes slightly forward from the front surface of the game board 11 by a thickness. However, when the window 12 is closed, the front surface of the base plate 21 and the back surface of the window 12 are spaced by a distance equal to or greater than the diameter of one sphere. Is secured.

The board decoration 20 has a left guiding portion 25 inclined downward toward the left side of the gaming board 11 when the gaming board 11 is viewed from the front, and a downward inclination toward the right side of the gaming board 11 continuously with the left guiding portion 25. The right guiding part 30 is provided. The left guiding part 25 and the right guiding part 30 protrude forward from the base plate 21. The distance between the front surface of the left guiding portion 25 and the right guiding portion 30 and the back surface of the window 12 when the window 12 is closed is narrower than the diameter of one sphere, and the sphere is smaller than the left guiding portion 25 and the right guiding portion 30. Will not fall downward from the front side.
Therefore, the ball that has landed on the left guiding portion 25 is guided to the left region of the game board 11 along the inclination of the left guiding portion 25, and the ball that has landed on the right guiding portion 30 is played along the right guiding portion 30. It is guided to the right region of the board 11 and flows down to the later-described accessory structure 60 side.
In the present specification, the ranges of the left region and the right region refer to ranges in the left-right direction with reference to the connection portion Q where the left guide portion 25 and the right guide portion 30 cross each other.

The vertical portion 26 extending in the up-down direction continuously with the left guide portion 25 protrudes forward of the base plate 21. The distance between the front surface of the vertical portion 26 and the back surface of the window 12 when the window 12 is closed is narrower than the diameter of one sphere, and the sphere does not enter from the front side to the inside of the vertical portion 26. In addition, a warp passage 26 </ b> A communicating with the game board 11 in the left-right direction is opened at a part below the vertical portion 26.
The sphere taken into the warp passage 26 </ b> A from the game area 11 </ b> A is led out on the stage 27 extending in the left-right direction at the lower edge of the attachment opening 19. The stage 27 is a wall surface protruding rearward from the base plate 21, and the sphere led out on the stage 27 falls down in the process of rolling on the stage 27 in the left-right direction, or the stage 27 It falls after being taken in the outlet 27A opened in the center.

  A curved portion 31 that extends continuously in a bow shape inward of the game board 11 continuously with the right guide portion 30 projects forward of the base plate 21. The distance between the front surface of the curved portion 31 and the back surface of the window 12 when the window 12 is closed is narrower than the diameter of one sphere, and the sphere does not enter inward from the front side of the curved portion 31. In addition, a guiding portion 40 that protrudes outward from the game board 11 is provided below the bending portion 31, and a bonus structure 60 including a winning opening 61 and a blade member 65 is provided below the guiding portion 40. Arranged.

Hereinafter, the right region with the connection portion Q as a base point will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. As shown in the figure, the right guiding portion 30 has a guiding passage 30A that gently slopes downward toward the right side of the game board 11 with the connecting portion Q as a base point. The ball P1 that rolls on the guide passage 30A and is guided toward the accessory structure 60, that is, toward the outside of the game board 11, falls from the outer end portion 33 of the guide passage 30A while drawing an arcuate trajectory. The guide nails are guided in the X1 direction or the X2 direction by the guide nail group N1 planted below the outer end 33 due to the momentum of falling. The outer end portion 33 is an intersection of the guide passage 30A and the side surface 30B extending continuously downward from the guide passage 30A, and is a point located on the outermost side of the right guide portion 30.
As described above, the right guiding portion 30 is the first guiding portion that guides the ball launched into the game area 11A to the accessory structure 60 side by having the guiding passage 30A. The sphere P1 that has flowed down through the path shown is further changed by a second guiding portion described later.

  The sphere P2 guided in the X1 direction by the guide nail group N1 falls on the guide portion 40 provided below the bending portion 31. The guide portion 40 is a wall body that protrudes from the base plate 21 to substantially the same height as the protruding portion of the curved portion 31. The guide portion 40 receives the ball P2 that has dropped from above and receives the received ball P2 toward the outside of the game board 11. It has a guiding passage 41 for guiding and a barrier 50 continuous with the guiding passage 41.

The guide passage 41 is a passage that extends continuously from the side wall 31A of the curved portion 31 so as to project outward in the game board 11, and is formed as an inclined surface that slightly inclines downward in the outer direction. Further, the outer end 41A of the guide passage 41 is located at least outside the outer end 33 of the guide passage 30A located above, and the sphere P2 falling on the guide passage 41 is arcuate from the outer end 41A. Is drawn by a guide nail group N2 planted below.
The outer end portion 41 </ b> A is an intersection of the guide passage 41 and a barrier 50 (described later) extending continuously from the guide passage 41, and is a point located on the outermost side of the guide portion 40.

The guide portion 40 includes a guide passage 41 that guides a sphere that has fallen from above to the outside, so that the guide portion 40 is transverse to the sphere that is dropped from the guide passage 30A and guided in the X1 direction (downward) (Y1 direction). ) Movement can be given. That is, the guiding unit 40 is a second guiding unit that guides the ball dropped from the right guiding unit 30 positioned above to the outside of the game board 11.
Furthermore, the ball that has dropped in the X1 direction due to the provision of the guide passage 41 starts to fall again from the outer end portion 41A after having stopped once on the guide passage 41 in the middle of the drop path. Therefore, there is a time margin from when the ball falls from the guide passage 30A until it is taken into the later-described accessory structure 60, and the player feels irritated until it is taken into the accessory structure 60. It is possible to continuously provide a sense of expectation such as a throbbing feeling.
Further, since the sphere is received by the guide passage 41 of the guide portion 40, the sphere flowing down from above does not directly collide with the open blade member 65 located below, and the blade member 65 is damaged due to repeated collisions. Can be prevented.

The ball P1 guided in the X2 direction by the guide nail group N1 falls downward after passing through the inside of the normal symbol starting part 43 or the outside of the normal symbol starting part 43 located between the guide passage 30A and the guide passage 41. To do. The normal symbol starting component 43 is a gaming component that is attached via the base plate 21 fixed on the gaming board 11, and has a gate-shaped detection unit 43 </ b> A that opens in the vertical direction of the gaming board 11. A detection sensor (not shown) is inserted inside the detection unit 43A, and a detection signal is output to a main control device to be described later each time a sphere passes through the detection unit 43A.
The ball that has passed through the inside of the normal symbol starting part 43 or the outside of the normal symbol starting part 43 is guided toward the inside of the game board 11 by the guide nail group N2 that is planted below the normal symbol starting part 43. It flows down in the direction of the structure 60, a part of the sphere is taken into the accessory structure 60, and a part of the sphere flows down without being taken into the accessory structure 60.

Hereinafter, the accessory structure 60 disposed below the guiding portion 40 will be described. The accessory structure 60 generally has a winning opening 61 that opens above the gaming board 11, and can be opened and closed in the vicinity of the winning opening 61 with a hollow main body 63 extending in the vertical direction of the gaming board 11. The blade member 65 is pivotally attached.
The main body 63 has a sorting body (not shown) that distributes the balls taken in from the winning opening 61 into a plurality of passages, and a special area provided in any of the plurality of passages. When a ball is detected by a detection sensor inserted in a special area, a big hit game is executed by a main controller described later. Further, the balls distributed to the passages other than the passage provided with the special area are discharged to the outside as “outside balls”.

  The blade member 65 includes a cylindrical base portion 66 that is held by a shaft inserted through the center portion, and a blade portion 67 that extends outward in the radial direction of the base portion 66. The shaft inserted through the base 66 penetrates the game board 11 in the front-rear direction, and is connected to a solenoid (not shown) disposed on the back surface of the game board 11 via a link mechanism so that the solenoid can move directly. Accordingly, it rotates at an angle within a predetermined range.

  The blade portion 67 is a member that can take two forms, that is, a closed state or an open state indicated by a broken line by the rotation of the base portion 66, and stops in an upright direction along the vertical direction of the game board 11 in the closed state. . More specifically, when the blade portion 67 is in a closed state, the tip surface 67A of the blade portion 67 is spaced apart from the lower surface 55A of the obstacle wall 55 provided on the lower surface of the barrier 50 and the diameter of one sphere. Close by. Therefore, when the blade portion 67 is in the closed state, the ball is not taken in by the winning a prize opening 61 and entry into the accessory structure 60 is prevented. The distance between the lower surface 55A and the front end surface 67A may be adjusted to make it difficult to enter.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, when the blade portion 67 is in an open state, the tip surface 67A of the blade portion 67 is separated from the lower surface 55A toward the outer side of the game board 11, and is guided inward by the guide nail group N2. The ball guided to the position is displaced so as to be able to be taken in the direction of the winning opening 61 located downstream in the rolling direction.
When the wing portion 67 is displaced as described above, the ball rolls on the inclined surface 67B toward the winning opening 61, that is, toward the inner side of the game board 11, and is taken in from the winning opening 61, whereby the accessory structure Enter 60. In addition, the inclination direction of the blade portion 67 and the barrier 50 positioned above when the blade portion 67 is in the open state is substantially the same direction. Hereinafter, the relationship between the barrier 50 and the blade portion 67 will be described in detail.

The barrier 50 is a wall surface extending continuously from the guide passage 41 with the outer end 41A as a base point. The barrier 50 is a surface that inclines downward from the outer end 41 </ b> A toward the inside of the game board 11, and the inclining direction is substantially the same as the inclining direction of the blade part 67 positioned below.
That is, when the inclination direction of the blade portion 67 in the closed state is represented by a straight line L1 as a perpendicular line passing through the rotation center axis, the inclination direction of the straight line L2 in the open state is the same as the inclination direction of the barrier 50. 11 is represented as a straight line that slopes downward toward the inside.
Further, “the inclination directions are substantially the same” means that the angle θ of the barrier 50 and the straight line L2 with respect to the straight line L1 satisfies at least 0 ° <θ <90 °, and the barrier 50 and the blade member 67 are parallel to each other. And the case where the angles are different from each other. For example, the inclination angle of the barrier 50 in the present embodiment is set to about 45 ° with respect to the straight line L1, and the inclination angle of the blade portion 67 is set to about 40 °.

Thus, in this embodiment, since the inclination direction of the barrier part 50 and the blade | wing part 67 at the time of an open state becomes substantially the same direction, a blade | wing part visually and sensorily with respect to a player. A prize that is located on the downstream side of the blade member 65 is a region R on the inner side of the straight line L3 connecting the tip portion 68 that is the intersection of the tip surface 67A of the 67 and the inclined surface 67B and the outer end portion 41A located above. It can be easily recognized as an area that is easily taken into the mouth 61.
That is, when the blade member 65 is in the open state, the barrier 50 as the wall surface located above is used as a reference, and the region R closed in the vertical direction is formed by the barrier 50 and the blade member 65. Therefore, the player can visually recognize an area that is easily taken into the winning opening 61.
If the player can easily recognize the presence of the region R within the field of view, when the ball is flowing down from the region R, the flowing ball is captured by the blade member 65. In addition, it is possible to sensuously recognize that it will be taken into the winning opening 61 located on the downstream side of the blade member 65 in combination with the opening timing and the flow path of the sphere. It is possible to remarkably improve the fun of the game in the game using the body 60.

Hereinafter, the overall game of the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be outlined with reference to FIG.
The balls that have entered the game area 11A of the game board 11 flow down the left area or the right area depending on the strength of the launch, and many balls that flow down the left area are planted in the game area 11A in the process of flowing down. It is guided while colliding with the game nails and windmills of the game board 11 and can be taken into a central starting prize component 70 provided substantially in the center of the game board 11 and a plurality of general prize components 71 provided on the lower side of the game board 11. Further, the balls that have not been taken into the central start winning component 70 or the general winning component 71 are taken into the outlet 73 formed at the lowermost center of the game board 11 and collected.

When the ball is taken into the general winning component 71, the main controller pays the ball as the winning ball to the upper plate structure 16 based on the signal from the detection sensor attached in the general winning component 71. A prize ball payout process is executed. In this case, the number of prize balls is set to 10, for example.
The main control device is a so-called computer equipped with hardware such as a CPU, ROM, and RAM that individually executes control processing based on a detection signal from a detection sensor corresponding to each winning component. The sensor, control device, or drive source is connected via an interface or drive circuit (not shown), and operates according to a program stored in the ROM.

  When the ball is taken into the central start winning component 70, the main control device performs the same winning ball payout process and a big hit with a predetermined probability based on a signal from the detection sensor attached in the central start winning component 70. A lottery process is executed. The probability of “big hit” as a result of the big hit lottery process is set in advance as, for example, 1/360.

  The main control device starts the change of the effect symbol displayed on the symbol display device outside the figure based on the result of the big hit lottery process, and in the form of notifying the result of the big hit lottery process after a predetermined time elapses The symbol variation process for stopping is executed. When the result of the big hit lottery process is “hit”, the design for the production after the stop is a form in which, for example, “7, 7, 7” is the same number or a pattern imitating a specific character arranged in a straight line When the result of the big hit lottery process is “out of” other than “big hit”, it is a form in which symbols representing different numbers and characters such as “1, 3, 5” are arranged.

  After the result of the big hit lottery by the main control device is “hit” and the stop is performed in a mode indicating that the style of the effect symbol after the stop is “hit”, the big hit game start process is executed. In the present embodiment, the big hit game is executed by opening the big winning component 74 that is provided in the right area, that is, in the same direction as the accessory structure 60 and below the accessory structure 60. The By arranging the big prize component 74 in the same direction as the accessory structure 60, a part of the sphere launched into the right region so that the big prize component 74 can take in the sphere is in the middle of the fall path as described above. In this case, once it has stopped once on the guide passage 41, it starts to fall again from the outer end 41A, so that the ball is dropped from the guide passage 30A until it is taken into the big prize component 74. A time margin is born, and the player can surely visually recognize the process until the ball is taken into the big prize component 74.

The big winning component 74 includes a rectangular winning opening (not shown) that opens to the front of the game board 11 and an opening / closing body 75 that closes the front of the winning opening and can be opened and closed in the front-rear direction. Is opened forward by a solenoid mounted on the back of the game board 11, so that a ball flowing down the right side of the game board 11 can be taken into the prize opening from above. A sensor for detecting a ball taken into the winning opening is provided inside the winning opening, and the main controller pays out, for example, 15 balls as a winning ball based on a detection signal from the sensor.
In the big hit game, the round is repeated, for example, 15 times, with 10 rounds of detection by the detection sensor or the opening of the opening / closing body 75 until a predetermined time is satisfied, whichever comes first, and the round is repeated 15 times. Many balls can be paid out in a short time.

After the jackpot is over, a determination is made as to whether or not there is a “short-time game”, which is a bonus after the big-bonus game. Compared to the case of “,” it is easier to win a big hit if the ball is launched toward the right region. Note that switching from “normal game” to “time saving game” is performed by turning ON or OFF the time saving flag stored in the RAM as the work area of the main control device. In addition, the probability that the game state changes from “normal game” to “hourly game” after the big hit game acquired in “normal game” is set to, for example, about one-half or one-third. The presence / absence of the “short-time game” is determined according to the special symbol determined by winning a ball to the start winning component 70 and the side start winning component 80 described later.
Hereinafter, the “short-time game” using the accessory structure 60 provided in the right region of the game board 11 will be described in detail.

When the player hits the ball in the right area during the “short-time game”, the ball flows down through a plurality of routes as shown in FIG. Note that the route shown in FIG. 2 is an example of a typical route, and is not limited to this.
When the ball passes through the detection unit 43A of the normal symbol starting part 43, the main control device opens the lottery process of the side starting winning component 80 with a predetermined probability based on the output signal from the detection sensor inserted in the detection unit 43A. Execute. The probability of winning as a result of the open lottery process for the side start winning component 80 is set to, for example, about 9/10 regardless of the gaming state.

  The side start winning component 80 is roughly composed of a winning hole 80A penetrating in the front-rear direction of the game board 11, and a guide piece 80B moving forward and backward in the front-rear direction of the game board 11 at the lower edge portion of the winning hole 80A. The guide piece 80B is driven based on the fact that the lottery result is “winning”. Specifically, the guide piece 80B is a tongue piece that can advance and retreat in the front-rear direction of the game board 11, and a solenoid coupled on the back side of the game board 11 is driven based on the fact that the lottery result is “winning”. Then, the guide piece 80 </ b> B protrudes forward from the surface of the game board 11. Then, the ball is guided into the winning hole 80A when the ball rides on the guide piece 80B at the timing when the guide piece 80B protrudes to the front side.

The operation of the guide piece 80B varies depending on the current gaming state. When the game state is “ordinary game” other than “short-time game”, the ball accepting operation by the guide piece 80B continues for 0.088 seconds, for example, and the operation is completed once.
On the other hand, when the game state is “short-time game” (opening time extension function is activated), the ball receiving operation by the guide piece 80B is continued for, for example, 1.7 seconds, and the operation is intermittently repeated three times. Exit later.
In other words, even if the result of the open lottery processing of the side start winning component 80 is “winning” during “normal game”, the ball receiving operation by the guide piece 80B is completed in a very short time. Even if the ball is launched into the right area during the “normal game”, the possibility that the ball is taken into the winning hole 80A is extremely low.
On the other hand, if the result of the open lottery process for the side start winning component 80 is “winning” during “short-time game”, the ball receiving operation by the guide piece 80B continues for a long time and is repeated a plurality of times (guide) If the ball is shot into the right area during the “short-time game”, the possibility that the ball will be taken into the winning hole 80A becomes extremely high.
Therefore, for a player, when the game state is “normal game”, it is easier to get a big hit if the ball is launched in the left area, and in the case of “short-time game”, it is easier to hit the right area. Easy to win. In the following, the operation up to winning the jackpot in the game of launching the ball into the right area will be described.

When the ball is taken into the winning hole 80A by the receiving operation of the ball by the guide piece 80B, the main control device, based on the output signal from the detection sensor provided in the winning hole 80A, the blade opening lottery with a predetermined probability Execute the process.
The probability of “winning” as a result of the blade opening lottery process is set to, for example, about 1.0025 / 1 regardless of the gaming state, and is provided in the accessory structure 60 based on the fact that the lottery result is “winning”. The wing member 65 is displaced from the closed state to the open state, and the ball existing in the right region of the game board 11 can be received in the accessory structure 60.

When the wing member 65 is in the open state, the ball is detected by the detection sensor provided in the winning opening 61 when the ball is taken into the winning opening 61 of the accessory structure 60, and the main control device is based on the output from the detection sensor. For example, a prize ball payout process for paying out three balls is executed.
Further, the sphere detected by the detection sensor is distributed to any one of the plurality of passages by a distribution body (not shown) provided in the main body 63.
As described above, a special area is provided in at least one of the plurality of paths, and the main control device executes a big hit game based on the output from the detection sensor in which the ball is inserted in the special area. . The jackpot game is executed by opening the jackpot component 74 provided in the right region as in the above jackpot game.
In addition, the probability that the ball that has entered the object structure 60 is guided into the special area is set to, for example, 1/10 or less, and is arranged on the back surface of the game board 11 so as to satisfy the probability. A solenoid that drives the sorting body is controlled.

In addition, after the big hit game started by detecting the ball by the detection sensor inserted in the special area, the probability that the game state will be the “short-time game” as a privilege again is set to about 4/5, for example. Once the gaming state has changed from “normal game” to “short-time game”, the “short-time game” will continue with a high probability.
As described above, during the “short-time game”, the winning rate of the ball to the winning hole 80A of the side start winning component 80 becomes extremely high as compared with the “normal game”, and as a result, to the accessory structure 60 Since the winning rate of the game becomes extremely high, it is easier to win a big hit than “normal game”. That is, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment shows the gaming state after the big hit game based on the result of the lottery executed based on the winning of the ball to the central starting winning component 70 provided in the central portion of the gaming board 11. It is a pachinko machine that switches from “normal game” to “short-time game”, and in this “short-time game”, it is more central to strike a ball to the side of the accessory structure 60 arranged on the side of the game board 11. This is a pachinko machine that has a higher probability of winning a big hit game than launching to the start winning component 70 side.

In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the right guiding unit 30 as the first guiding unit that guides the ball that is launched into the game area 11A to the accessory structure 60 side during the “short-time game”. And a guiding part 40 as a second guiding part that is provided below the right guiding part 30 and guides a ball dropped from the right guiding part 30 to the outside of the game board 11. The paths to the accessory structure 60 can be made into various patterns indicated by X1, X2, and Y1. In addition, the sphere that has fallen in the X1 direction starts to roll in the Y1 direction after being temporarily stopped on the guide path 41 of the guide portion 40 in the middle of the drop path, and therefore, the sphere starts to roll in the right guide portion 30. Time from when it is dropped to when it is taken into the later-described accessory structure 60 is created, and the player can continue to have a sense of expectation, such as a sense of harassment and throbbing, until it is taken into the accessory structure 60 Can be granted.
In addition, since the barrier 50 and the blade portion 67 in the opened state are configured to have substantially the same inclination direction, the region R is visually and sensibly downstream of the blade member 65 for the player. It becomes possible to easily recognize the winning prize port 61 that is positioned, that is, an area that is easily captured by the accessory structure 60, and the fun of the game during the “short-time game” using the accessory structure 60 is greatly improved. It becomes possible to make it.
The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and improvements can be made by combining the embodiments. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Further, it is apparent from the scope of the claims that the embodiments added with such various changes and improvements can be included in the technical scope of the present invention.

  In particular, the position of the accessory structure 60 on the game board 11 is not limited at all. For example, the accessory structure 60 can be provided in the left region. The direction is symmetrical to the direction in the above embodiment. That is, any form may be used as long as the ball is guided toward the outside of the game area.
