  Conventionally, pachinko machines are known as one of gaming machines. In the pachinko machine, a center role having a symbol display device, a start winning device having a start winning port, a big winning device having a big winning port, and the like are arranged in a game area formed on the game board. In the game area, a large number of guide nails are guided to guide the game balls flowing down.

  Also, some gaming machines play games by a method called “right-handed” in which a game ball flows down to the area on the right side of the center bonus in the game area. In the case of a gaming machine that performs a right-handed game, for example, there is one in which a big prize opening is arranged on the right side of the gaming area (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In many cases, the center character is arranged in the approximate center of the game area. In addition, the symbol display device is for displaying various symbols composed of numbers and pictures. In the case of a general gaming machine, a total of nine symbols, three vertically and three horizontally on the symbol display device. There are many things that display symbols. Also, in recent gaming machines, there are those that display animations and moving images on a symbol display device.

  The gaming machine is played by causing a game ball to flow down to the game area. When a game ball flowing down the game area wins the start winning opening, the game machine draws whether or not to start a game in a state advantageous to the player (hereinafter referred to as a jackpot state). A variable display game is performed in which an animation is displayed on the symbol display device, or the symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time, and then the symbol corresponding to the result of the previous lottery is stopped and displayed. When the lottery is won, the variable display device stops and displays the symbol corresponding to the winning (for example, “7-7-7”), and notifies the player that the game in the big hit state is started. Then, the game balls flowing down by opening the grand prize opening are made easy to win, and the number of prize balls corresponding to the number of game balls won is paid out.

  A player plays a game paying attention to the movement of the game ball flowing down the game area before the game ball wins the start winning opening, and if the game ball wins the start winning opening, A game is played paying attention to whether or not to shift to a game. In particular, the player often proceeds with the game while visually recognizing the symbol display device with a great expectation that the game may be shifted to a game in a big hit state after the game ball is won at the start winning opening. . For this reason, it is possible to increase the player's expectation by performing effects such as changing various display modes by the symbol display device, and changing the light emission mode of the entire center accessory having the symbol display device. The interest of the player in the game can be greatly improved.

In addition, the first lock portion 94 of the first operating member 85 and the second lock portion 95 of the second operating member 86 are arranged to face each other.

  Next, the operation of the drive mechanism arranged as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 shows the positional relationship between the first operating member 85 and the second operating member 86 when the opening / closing member 84 is located at the closed position, and FIG. 12 shows that the solenoid 81 is operated or the release portion 91 is operated. FIG. 13 shows the positional relationship between the first actuating member 85 and the second actuating member 86 when the opening / closing member 84 is moving from the closed position to the open position, and FIG. 13 shows the first relationship when the opening / closing member 84 is located at the open position. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a positional relationship between a first operating member 85 and a second operating member 86. 11 to 13, (a) shows the positional relationship between the first lock portion 94 and the second lock portion 95, and (b) shows the third lock portion, the washer member 91, and the flange 82a. FIG. 8C shows the positional relationship between the lock pins 96a and 96b and the washer member 91. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, when the opening / closing member 84 is in the closed position, it is formed on the rear end surface 94a of the first lock portion 94 formed on the first operating member 85 and the second operating member 86. The front end surfaces 95a of the second lock portions 95 are disposed in close proximity to each other. 11B and 11C, the relationship between the lock pins 96a and 96b and the flange 82a is that the lock pin 96b and the flange 82a are in contact with each other, and the lock pin 96a is interposed via a washer member 91. The compression coil spring 83 is biased in the direction A in the figure. In the second big prize winning device, since the opening / closing member 84 is normally kept closed, the second big prize winning device is maintained in the above-described state unless there is any chance of winning the lottery.

  Here, when the lottery is won and the second big prize opening is opened, the solenoid 81 is driven to move the plunger from the protruding position to the retracted position. As shown in FIG. 12, when the plunger moves in the B direction, the first actuating member 85 also moves in the B direction in conjunction with the plunger. Therefore, the rear end surface 94a of the first lock portion 94 and the front end surface 95a of the second lock portion 95 that are opposed to each other in FIG. 11A are not opposed to each other in FIG. The rear end surface 94 a is located at a position facing a second space 86 a formed above the second lock portion 95, and the front end surface 95 a of the second lock portion 95 is a first portion formed above the first lock portion 94. The first lock portion 94 and the second lock portion 95 are disengaged from each other at a position facing the first space portion 85a. Further, the upper end surface of the first operating member 85 and the lower end surface of the second operating member 86 are in contact with each other. Further, as shown in FIGS. 12B and 12C, the lock pin 96a is released from contact with the lower surface of the washer member 91, and the urging of the lock pin 96a by the compression coil spring 83 is released. Furthermore, the lock pin 96a contacts the upper surface of the flange 82a, and an upward force acts on the lock pin 96a.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the plunger 82 further moves upward and the first operating member 85 moves in conjunction therewith, the second operating member 86 uses the rotation pin 96 as a rotation axis, as shown in FIG. Starts turning in the middle C direction. When the second actuating member 86 rotates, the connecting piece 97 of the second actuating member 86 also rotates together with the opening / closing member 84 moving in the D direction. That is, the second operating member 86 moves the opening / closing member 84 from the closed position to the open position by rotating about the rotation pin 96 as a rotation axis. At this time, the first operating member 85 is formed with the first space portion 85a, and similarly, the second operating member 86 is also formed with the second space portion 86a, so that the second operating member 86 rotates. Even so, the first operating member 85 does not interfere with the rotating operation, and the second operating member 86 can be smoothly rotated.

  Next, an operation in the case where an unsuccessful so-called goto action is performed on the second big prize device according to the present embodiment will be described. Usually, the goto action is performed when the opening / closing member 84 of the second prize-winning device is in the closed state, and therefore this description will be made with reference to FIG. As an example performed by the goto action, there is an action of inserting a wire or the like into the gaming machine 1 to forcibly open the open / close member 84 from the closed state. When such an action is performed, since the solenoid 81 is not driven in the second big winning device 22 provided in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the plunger 82 and the first operating member 85 are It is held at the position shown in FIG. In this state, if the go-to action is performed to move the opening / closing member 84 in the direction E in FIG. 11A, the second actuating member 86 tries to rotate around the rotation pin 96, 2 Try to rotate the lock portion 95 in the F direction. However, since the front end surface 95a of the second lock portion 95 faces the rear end surface 94a of the first lock portion 94 at a position close to the first lock portion 94, when the second actuating member 86 tries to rotate in the F direction, the second lock portion 95 The front end surface 95a of the portion 95 abuts on the rear end surface 94a of the first lock portion 94, and acts to restrict further rotation of the second actuating member 86. That is, even if the opening / closing member 84 is forcibly moved to the open position when the solenoid 81 is not in operation, the first locking portion 94 and the second locking portion 95 are firmly in contact with each other. It becomes impossible to illegally move from the closed position to the open position.

  Thus, according to the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when a predetermined condition is established in the gaming machine 1, such as when a lottery is won, the opening / closing of the second big prize winning device is performed. It is possible to smoothly open and close the member, and when it is likely that a go-to action will be performed, it is possible to strongly prevent an illegal action from being performed.

  Next, the arrangement of various winning devices on the game board will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, in the game area 17, a passing prize opening constituting the start winning device 19 as the second winning device, the first big winning device 20, and the third winning device. Various winning devices such as 56 and the second big winning device 22 as the first winning device are arranged. Further, the second big winning device 22 forms a rolling path together with the first rolling path forming section 69 and the second rolling path forming section 70 when the opening / closing member 84 is located at the closed position. To do. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the second big winning device 22 is located above the second starting winning port 26 provided in the starting winning device 19 and is adjacent to the starting winning device 19. The game balls which are arranged and roll on the rolling path are arranged at positions where it is easy to win the second start winning opening 26. Further, a pass winning opening 56 as a third winning device is provided between the second big winning device 22 and the start winning device 19. The passing winning opening 56 is arranged so as to be positioned below both the second large winning opening 54 and the second starting winning opening 26.

  Therefore, according to the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, it is possible to add the possibility that the game ball flowing down from the downflow passage will win either the second start winning opening or the passing winning opening. Not only when the second big prize opening is open, but also when the second big prize opening is closed, the player who plays a right-handed game has a chance to shift to the big hit state It will be possible to play a game with the expectation that it may be acquired. In recent years, the effects of gaming machines have been diversified, and the center role has become larger. For this reason, in the gaming area, the space for placing devices other than the center character and the space for hitting the guide nails have been extremely reduced, and the manner in which the gaming balls flow down tends to be monotonous. According to the gaming machine according to the embodiment, a rolling path is formed in the second big prize device, and the game ball can roll on the rolling path, so that a small space can be effectively utilized. Thus, it is possible to change the manner in which the game balls flow down, to give the player a sense of expectation, and to further enhance the interest in the game.

  In addition, according to the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, a flow passage is formed on the outer periphery of the center accessory, and a plurality of ribs are provided in the flow passage. It can be decelerated when passing through the downflow passage, and it is possible to reduce the impact force on various winning devices such as guide nails and second big winning devices that collide with game balls after passing through the downflow passage. Become. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the various winning devices and the like from being damaged and to greatly improve the durability. Moreover, since the replacement frequency can be reduced by preventing breakage, it is possible to reduce the cost associated with the replacement of parts.

  In addition, according to the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, since ribs are formed only on the collar part and the decorative member that constitute the center accessory, it is possible to share parts such as corner decorations, and versatility.
