  The game ball rolling stage 27 includes a stage main body 101. The stage main body 101 is a substantially horizontal surface in the front-back direction when attached to the gaming machine 1. The front direction is the front direction in FIG. 3 and the downward direction in FIG. The front-back direction coincides with the front-back direction of the gaming machine 1 when the gaming ball rolling stage 27 is attached to the gaming machine 1. In the left-right direction, the stage main body 101 is substantially horizontal at the central portion 101a, and the left portion 101b is inclined so that the left side is high, and the right portion 101c is inclined so that the right side is high. ing. The left-right direction is the left-right direction in FIGS. This left-right direction coincides with the left-right direction of the gaming machine 1 when the gaming ball rolling stage 27 is attached to the gaming machine 1.

  Further, the stage main body 101 is divided into a front side and a back side by a partition plate 103 extending in the left-right direction. However, the partition plate 103 is notched in the notch portions 103a, 103b, and 103c, and the game ball 8 can easily move between the front side and the back side of the stage main body portion 101 in those portions.

Further, in the central portion 101 a of the stage main body 101, the portion on the back side of the partition plate 103 is higher than the portion on the front side of the partition plate 103.
A front edge plate 105 is attached to the front side of the stage main body 101. The upper end of the front edge plate 105 is one step higher than the stage main body 101, but is notched in the center. This cutout portion is referred to as a discharge portion 107.

  Further, the front edge plate 105 protrudes below the stage main body portion 101, and its central portion contacts the horizontal plane when the gaming ball rolling stage 27 is removed from the gaming machine 1 and placed on the horizontal plane. . Hereinafter, this portion is referred to as a first bottom surface portion 109.

  A pair of second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are formed on the back side of the lower side of the central portion 101 a of the stage main body 101. When the gaming ball rolling stage 27 is removed from the gaming machine 1 and placed on a horizontal plane, the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are grounded to the horizontal plane. As shown in FIG. 6, the second bottom surface portion 111 has a substantially box shape in which a lower surface is opened and a front side surface is cut out in a substantially circular shape. 6A is a perspective view of the second bottom surface portion 111, FIG. 6B is a front view, FIG. 6C is a side view, and FIG. 6D is a rear view. is there. As shown in FIGS. 6B to 6D, the second bottom surface portion 111 can hold the game ball 8 therein. In addition, the second bottom surface portion 111 may not hold the game ball 8 as shown in FIG. When the game ball 8 is held on the second bottom surface portion 111, the lower end of the game ball 8 protrudes below the second bottom surface portion 111, as shown in FIGS. Therefore, the height of the second bottom surface portion 111 is higher when the game ball 8 is held than when the game ball 8 is not held. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6D, the second bottom surface portion 111 includes a hole 115 having a smaller diameter than the game ball 8 on the side surface on the back surface side. When the game ball 8 is held on the second bottom surface portion 111, a part of the spherical surface of the game ball 8 fits into the hole 115, so that the game ball 8 can be held stably. Further, the game ball 8 can be easily taken out from the second bottom surface portion 111 by inserting a thin stick from the outside of the hole 115. The second bottom surface portion 113 also has the same configuration as the second bottom surface portion 111.

  Further, when the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are grounded to the horizontal plane without holding the game ball 8, as shown in FIG. 5B, the grounding surfaces 111a and 113a are substantially parallel to the horizontal plane. It is formed as follows.

3. About the tilt of the game ball rolling stage 27, the game board 6, and the gaming machine 1 (3-1) About the tilt in the front-back direction The game ball rolling stage 27 is removed from the game board 6, and as shown in FIG. It is assumed that it is placed on the horizontal plane L. At this time, the first bottom surface portion 109 and the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 (see FIGS. 2 to 6) of the game ball rolling stage 27 are in contact with the horizontal plane L.

  In this state, as shown in FIG. 10, the angle of inclination in the front-back direction of the stage main body 101 (particularly the surface on which the game ball rolls) with respect to the horizontal plane L is defined as a. Here, the inclination angle a in the front-rear direction is a positive value when the back side of the stage main body 101 is low and the front side is high, and a negative value when the reverse is inclined. Is an angle. The angle a can be set by adjusting the heights of the first bottom surface portion 109 and the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113, and the value thereof can be set to about 0 to 1 °, for example.

  Assume that the game ball rolling stage 27 is attached to the game board 6 as shown in FIG. When this game board 6 is installed vertically (the main surface of the game board 6 is vertical), the game board 6 is attached to the game board 6 on the basis of the state installed on the horizontal plane L as shown in FIG. The angle of inclination in the front-back direction of the gaming ball rolling stage 27 is b. The angle b is a positive value when the game ball rolling stage 27 is tilted so as to fall down on the back side, and a negative value when the game ball rolling stage 27 is tilted so as to fall on the front side.

  Further, it is assumed that the game board 6 is attached to the gaming machine 1 as shown in FIG. When this gaming machine 1 is installed vertically (the main surface of the gaming machine 1 is vertical), the angle of inclination in the front-back direction of the gaming board 6 attached to the gaming machine 1 as described above. Is c. The angle c is a positive value when the game board 6 is tilted so as to fall down on the back side, and a negative value when the game board 6 is tilted so as to fall on the front side.

  Further, it is assumed that the gaming machine 1 is attached to the gaming island 2 as shown in FIG. Let d be the angle of inclination in the front-back direction of the gaming machine 1 attached to the gaming island 2. The angle d is a positive value when the gaming machine 1 is tilted so as to fall down on the back side, and a negative value when the game machine 1 is tilted so as to fall on the front side.

  The game ball rolling stage 27 is attached to the game board 6, the game board 6 is attached to the game machine 1, and the game machine 1 is attached to the game island 2 (that is, the game ball roll stage 27 is actually installed). In a state of use in a game, hereinafter referred to as “game use state”), an inclination angle Sm in the front-back direction of the stage main body 101 (particularly the surface on which the game ball rolls) with respect to the horizontal plane L. Becomes a + b + c + d. In the game ball rolling stage 27, the heights of the first bottom surface portion 109 and the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are set so that Sm and a are substantially the same.

  The values of a, b, c, and d can be set variously. For example, the patterns 1 to 7 shown in Table 1 can be set.

なお、Ｓｍとａは完全に同一であってもよいし、わずかに差があってもよい。例えば、Ｓｍとａとを、それぞれ０〜１°の範囲内で個別に設定できる。
（３−２）左右方向における傾きについて
遊技球転動ステージ２７を水平面Ｌ上に置いた状態で、遊技球転動ステージ２７の中央部１０１ａは、左右方向に関して、水平である。

Note that Sm and a may be completely the same or may be slightly different. For example, Sm and a can be individually set within a range of 0 to 1 °.
(3-2) Inclination in the left-right direction With the game ball rolling stage 27 placed on the horizontal plane L, the central portion 101a of the game ball rolling stage 27 is horizontal with respect to the left-right direction.

  On the other hand, in a state where the game ball rolling stage 27 is attached to the game board 6, the central portion 101a of the game ball rolling stage 27 is horizontal in the left-right direction. Furthermore, even when the gaming board 6 is attached to the gaming machine 1, the central portion 101a of the gaming ball rolling stage 27 is horizontal in the left-right direction. Furthermore, when the gaming machine 1 is attached to the gaming island 2, the central portion 101a of the gaming ball rolling stage 27 is horizontal in the left-right direction.

  That is, the inclination in the left-right direction of the stage main body 101 (particularly the surface on which the game ball rolls) is the same in the state where the game ball rolling stage 27 is installed on the horizontal plane L and in the game use state.

4). Action of Game Ball Rolling Stage 27 (1) Action when Game Ball Rolling Stage 27 is Attached to Game Machine 1 As described above, the game ball roll stage 27 is shown in FIG. Attach to the position shown. At this time, the longitudinal direction of the stage main body 101 is parallel to the left-right direction of the gaming machine 1. Further, the first bottom surface portion 109 and the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are on the lower side. Further, the discharge unit 107 is located on the front side of the gaming machine 1. The second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 have screw holes (not shown), and the game ball rolling stage 27 is attached to the game board 6 using the screw holes.

  In the game board 6, the game ball 8 falling from above the game ball rolling stage 27 or the game ball 8 bounced off by a nail below the game ball rolling stage 27 is the stage of the game ball rolling stage 27. It may get on the main body 101. In this case, the game ball 8 rolls on the stage main body 101. In particular, the game ball 8 riding on the left part 101b and the right part 101c of the stage main body 101 rolls to the central part 101a due to their inclination, and further rolls to the opposite side due to the momentum of rolling. Repeat the action. If the rolling game ball 8 reaches the discharge part 107, it is discharged from there. Since the discharge unit 107 is above the start winning opening 23, the game ball 8 discharged from the discharge unit 107 enters the start winning opening 23 with high probability.

(2) Operation when the gaming ball rolling stage 27 is removed from the gaming machine 1 and placed on a horizontal plane As described above, the tilting of the gaming ball rolling stage 27 (front-backward tilt and left-right direction) Is substantially the same in the state of being installed on the horizontal plane L and in the game use state.

  Therefore, even when the game ball rolling stage 27 is not attached to the gaming machine 1 and is placed on the horizontal plane L alone, the rolling test of the game ball can be performed under the same conditions as the game use state. As a result, the rolling test of the gaming ball can be performed even if other members in the gaming machine 1 are not completed, so the development period of the gaming ball rolling stage 27 can be shortened.

  Further, as described above, the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 may hold the game ball 8 or may not hold the game ball 8. When the game ball 8 is held on the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 (the state of FIG. 5A), the second bottom surface portion 111 is more than when the game ball 8 is not held (the state of FIG. 5B). 113 become higher, and the game ball rolling stage 27 is inclined to the front side.

  Therefore, even if the inclination when the game ball rolling stage 27 is placed on the horizontal plane is slightly deviated from the inclination in the game use state due to a manufacturing error or the like, the game ball 8 is moved to the second bottom surface. By holding the parts 111 and 113, the inclination of the game ball rolling stage 27 can be adjusted to be the same as the inclination in the game use state.

  In addition, as described above, when the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are grounded to the horizontal plane without holding the game ball 8, as shown in FIG. Are formed so as to be substantially parallel to each other. Thereby, the game ball rolling stage 27 stands stably on the horizontal plane, and the accuracy of the game ball 8 in the rolling test is increased.

The configuration of the gaming machine 1 is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, but a part of the configuration of the gaming ball rolling stage 27 is different. Below, it demonstrates centering on the difference.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the game ball rolling stage 27, a pair of rod-shaped members 117 having threads are erected on the lower surface of the stage main body 101.

  A hole 119 having a diameter corresponding to the thickness of the rod-shaped member 117 is formed at the upper end of each of the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113. A thread groove having a pitch corresponding to the thread formed on the rod-shaped member 117 is formed on the inner surface of the hole 119. The second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are fixed to the stage main body portion 101 by screwing a rod-shaped member 117 into the hole 119. The depth at which the rod-shaped member 117 is screwed into the hole 119 can be adjusted. As shown in FIG. 7A, when the rod-shaped member 117 is screwed only shallowly into the hole 119, the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 become high. The game ball rolling stage 27 is easily inclined to the front side. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the rod-shaped member 117 is screwed deeply into the hole 119, the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are lowered, and the game ball rolling stage 27 is easily inclined to the back side.

  Therefore, by adjusting the depth at which the rod-shaped member 117 is screwed into the hole 119, the tilt in the front-back direction of the game ball rolling stage 27 placed on the horizontal plane is easily changed, and the rolling test is performed under various conditions. It can be performed. Further, the inclination in the front-back direction of the game ball rolling stage 27 placed on the horizontal plane can be adjusted to be the same as the inclination in the game use state.

  Moreover, the inclination in the left-right direction of the game ball rolling stage 27 can be adjusted by individually adjusting the heights of the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113.

The configuration of the gaming machine 1 is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, but a part of the configuration of the gaming ball rolling stage 27 is different. Below, it demonstrates centering on the difference.
As shown in FIG. 8, in the gaming ball rolling stage 27, a pair of cylindrical members 123, each having a hole 121 with a thread groove formed therein, are provided on the lower surface of the stage main body 101. Yes.

  The second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are made of screws, and are fixed to the stage main body portion 101 by being screwed into the holes 121 of the cylindrical member 123. The depth at which the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are screwed into the holes 121 of the cylindrical member 123 can be adjusted, and the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are adjusted to the holes 121 of the cylindrical member 123 as shown in FIG. The second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are raised and the game ball rolling stage 27 is easily inclined to the front side. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are screwed deeply into the holes 121 of the cylindrical member 123, the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are lowered, and the game ball rolling stage 27 is It becomes easy to incline to the back side.

  Therefore, by adjusting the depth at which the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are screwed into the holes 121 of the cylindrical member 123, the inclination in the front-back direction of the game ball rolling stage 27 placed on the horizontal plane can be easily changed. Rolling tests can be performed under various conditions. Further, the inclination in the front-back direction of the game ball rolling stage 27 placed on the horizontal plane can be adjusted to be the same as the inclination in the game use state.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment at all, and it cannot be overemphasized that it can implement with a various aspect in the range which does not deviate from this invention.
For example, in the first embodiment, the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 are not formed on the back surface side of the stage main body portion 101, but near the center in the front-back direction of the stage main body portion 101 as shown in FIG. You may form in. Also in this case, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the height of the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113 is adjusted depending on whether or not the game ball 8 is held on the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113. As a result, the inclination of the game ball rolling stage 27 can be easily changed, and the rolling test can be performed under various conditions. Further, the inclination in the front-back direction of the game ball rolling stage 27 placed on the horizontal plane can be adjusted to be the same as the inclination in the game use state.

  Further, instead of or in addition to adjusting the height of the second bottom surface portions 111 and 113, a mechanism capable of adjusting the height of the first bottom surface portion 109 is provided, so that the inclination of the game ball rolling stage 27 can be adjusted.
