BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a front view of a gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention (known members such as a tray for storing game balls and a launching device (handle) are not shown). It is the figure which expanded and showed the field (first decoration field) decorated with the first decoration member in the first game field. It is the figure which expanded and showed the field (2nd decoration field) decorated with the 2nd decoration member in the 2nd game field. It is a schematic diagram for demonstrating the positional relationship of a game board and a decoration member.

  Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the plane direction is a direction along (parallel) the plane direction of the game board 10, and the front-rear direction is a direction orthogonal to the plane direction of the game board 10 (the player side is front and the opposite side is the front side). In the following description, the vertical direction refers to the vertical direction in FIG. 1, and the width direction (horizontal direction) refers to the horizontal direction in FIG.

  A gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the entirety of which is shown in FIG. 1, includes a gaming board 10, a forming member 13, a gaming area (a first gaming area 11 and a second gaming area 12), and a gaming component 14 (with a display device 141). Surrounding ornament 142), a decorative member 20, a discharge port 30, a first winning port 40, a discharge guiding member 50, a winning guiding member 60, a second winning port 70, and an upstream guiding member 80 are provided. Hereinafter, each configuration will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  The game board 10 is a plate-like member that forms a game area on the front side. At least a part of the game board 10 is formed of a transparent material. Specifically, the decorative member 20 (details will be described later) for decorating the game board 10 and a transparent portion are set so as to overlap in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the decorative member 20 is visible through the transparent portion. The game board 10 in the present embodiment is entirely made of a transparent material.

  A game area constituted by the game board 10 is surrounded by a forming member 13. The forming member 13 is formed in a substantially circular shape (a vertically long ellipse that is slightly long in the vertical direction), and a region inside thereof is a game region. A game ball fired by a known launching device (handle) (not shown) enters the game area through a passage outside the guide rail 131 which is a part of the forming member 13.

  The game area constituted by the game board 10 includes a first game area 11 on the left side in the width direction (one side in the width direction) and a second game area 12 on the right side in the width direction (the other side in the width direction). Specifically, the first game area 11 is located on the left side of the first prize opening 40 and the game component 14, which will be described in detail later, and the second game area 12 is the second prize opening 70 and the game component 14. Located on the right side.

  The first game area 11 and the second game area 12 are partitioned by a display device 141 provided in the center of the game area and a surrounding decoration 142 (collectively referred to as a game component 14). It can be said that the entire game area is an area from the outer edge of the game component 14 to the inner edge of the forming member 13. A communication path 90 connected to the second game area 12 is provided on the upper side of the game structure 14. When a game ball is emitted by a launching device (handle) so as not to pass through the communication path 90 (relatively weak), the game ball flows down the first game area 11. On the other hand, when the game ball is emitted (relatively strong) so as to pass through the communication path 90 by the launching device (handle), the game ball enters the second game area 12, and the second game area 12 Will flow down. That is, the game structure 14 is configured so that a game ball that has once entered one game area does not flow down from the upstream of the other game area. Note that the game component 14 may be configured by other than the display device 141 and the decoration 142 as long as it is an element that partitions the first game area 11 and the second game area 12.

That is, the first decorative member 21 overlaps a part (first decorative region) of the portion constituting the first game area 11 in the game board 10 (see FIGS. 1 and 2), and the second decorative member 22 is the game board 10. In FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 (see FIG. 3). Both decorative members 20 are visible through the game board 10. That is, it looks to the player as if the game area is decorated by the two decorative members 20. In the present embodiment, the first decorative member 21 is a member modeled on the character string “AB”, and the second decorative member 22 is a member modeled on the character string “CD”.

  The first decorative member 21 and the second decorative member 22 in the present embodiment can be moved in the plane direction by a drive mechanism (not shown). Specifically, it can move from the decoration position shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 to a position overlapping the display device 141. That is, both the decorative members 20 function not only as members that decorate the game area (the game board 10) but also as so-called accessories. Since the drive mechanism for moving both the decorative members 20 is not limited to a specific one, the description thereof is omitted.

  A discharge port 30 (so-called “out port”) is provided at the lowermost center of the game area. The game ball that has entered the game area by operating the launching device is discharged from the discharge port 30 if it has not won any winning port. In addition, another discharge port 30 (another out port) other than the discharge port 30 may be provided. In this case, the game ball that has entered the game area is discharged from the discharge port 30 located at the lowermost center of the game area, when it has not won any winning hole (including another discharge port 30).

That is, the first winning port 40 and the discharge port 30 are arranged in the vertical direction. The first winning port 40 and the discharge port 30 are located at the boundary between the first game area 11 and the second game area 12. In other words, it can be said that a part of the adjacent portion of the first game area 11 and the second game area 12 is divided by the first winning port 40 (winning member 40a) and the discharge port 30. The first winning port 40 is formed in a winning member 40 a provided on the discharge port 30. The winning member 40a is a member protruding from the front surface of the game board 10 (the surface constituting the gaming area), and has two first winning ports 40 (the left first winning port 41 and the right first winning port) on both sides in the width direction. A mouth 42) is formed.

  The opening / closing member is a member that opens and closes the entrance of the first winning opening 40. The opening / closing member is a member that rotates along the plane direction of the game board 10 (the rotation axis is orthogonal to the plane direction of the game board 10). A left opening / closing member 411 for opening and closing the left first winning port 41 is provided on the left side of the winning member 40a, and a right opening / closing member 421 for opening and closing the right first winning port 42 is provided on the right side. When the opening / closing member is rotated outward in the width direction, the game ball can enter the first winning opening 40. When the opening / closing member rotates inward in the width direction, the first winning opening 40 is blocked (narrowed), and the game ball cannot enter the first winning opening 40.

  In the present embodiment, a navel winning opening 91 is provided above the winning member 40a. The navel winning opening 91 is a winning opening that is always open.

  A discharge guiding member 50 is provided in the first game area 11. The discharge guide member 50 is a member provided at the lower left of the game area (below the first decoration area), and is inclined so as to gradually decrease from the left side toward the center so as to extend toward the discharge port 30. Has a shape. Accordingly, the game ball that has reached (dropped) the discharge guide member 50 rolls on the discharge guide member 50 toward the discharge port 30. That is, the discharge guiding member 50 guides the game ball toward the discharge port 30. Further, the discharge guiding member 50 according to the present embodiment is formed with a cavity (passage) through which a game ball can pass. The passage is along the inner edge of the forming member 13. That is, the passage extends toward the discharge port 30. In addition, although the discharge | emission guidance member 50 concerning this embodiment is integrally molded by the synthetic resin material, you may be comprised by the some game nail. Further, a part of the forming member 13 may function as the discharge guiding member 50.

  The first game area 11 is provided with a winning guidance member 60. The winning guide member 60 is a member provided on the upper side (first decoration region) of the discharge guiding member 50, and extends from the left to the center so as to extend toward the first winning port 40 (left first winning port 41). It has a shape that is inclined so as to gradually become lower. The winning member 40a in the present embodiment is constituted by a plurality of game nails. That is, the winning guiding member 60 is configured by arranging a plurality of game nails so as to extend toward the first winning port 40 (the left first winning port 41). The winning guide member 60 is formed with one or a plurality (two in this embodiment) of drop openings 61 through which game balls can pass. When the winning guiding member 60 is configured by a plurality of game nails as in the present embodiment, the interval between the game nails is set to be larger than the diameter of the game balls at one or a plurality of locations. If the game ball that rolls on the winning guiding member 60 does not pass through the drop opening 61, it reaches the vicinity of the first winning opening 40 (left first winning opening 41). The winning guide member 60 does not need to be composed of a plurality of game nails. For example, you may be comprised by the block-shaped member formed so that it might protrude from the front surface of the game board 10. FIG.

  In the region between the discharge guiding member 50 and the winning guiding member 60, a member for guiding the game ball is not provided. That is, since no game nail or the like is provided in the area, there is no object that visually blocks the second decorative member 22 provided at the rear in at least the area.

  The second winning opening 70 is a winning opening provided in the second game area 12. The second game area 12 in this embodiment includes an upstream area 121 and a downstream area 122. The game balls that have passed through the communication path 90 will flow down in the order of the upstream region 121 and the downstream region 122 unless they win a variety of winning holes. The upstream region 121 is located on the outer side in the width direction (right side in the present embodiment) than the downstream region 122. That is, the downstream area 122 is located closer to the discharge port 30 and the first winning port 40 than the upstream area 121. The second winning opening 70 is provided in the upstream area 121 in the second game area 12. There may be one second winning port 70, or a plurality of second winning ports 70 may be provided. In the present embodiment, two winning openings are provided as the second winning opening 70. Specifically, an upper attacker winning port 71 positioned on the upstream side and a lower attacker winning port 72 positioned on the downstream side of the upper attacker winning port 71 are provided. The upper attacker winning opening 71 and the lower attacker winning opening 72 are provided vertically. The upper attacker winning port 71 and the lower attacker winning port 72 can be awarded when an attacker member provided on the front side thereof falls to the near side and is a winning port. At least a part of the flow path (attacker flow path 73) where the second winning opening 70 (the upper attacker winning opening 71 and the lower attacker winning opening 72) in the upstream region 121 is located along the vertical direction and the width thereof is a game. One ball or more and less than two balls. That is, by preventing two or more game balls from flowing down in the width direction along the attacker flow path 73, a clogged ball occurs in the attacker flow path 73, or the upper attacker winning opening which is the second winning opening 70. It is prevented that two or more game balls try to win at the same time at 71 and the lower attacker winning opening 72 and a ball is clogged.

  In addition, a winning gate 74 through which a game ball can pass is further upstream than a portion (attacker channel 73) where the second winning port 70 (the upper attacker winning port 71 and the lower attacker winning port 72) is located in the upstream region. Is provided.

  The downstream area 122 of the second game area 12 is an area below and closer to the center than the upstream area 121. A second decorative member 22 (simulating the character string “CD”) is arranged behind the portion. That is, the downstream area 122 is a second decorative area decorated by the second decorative member 22. In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game area on the left side of the place where the discharge port 30 and the first winning port 40 are arranged is the first decoration region decorated by the first decoration member 21, The game area is a second decoration area decorated by the second decoration member 22. The downstream area 122 of the second game area 12 is provided with a member that guides the game ball so that the game ball that has entered the area does not reach the first winning opening 40. That is, the members (game nails, etc.) for guiding the game balls are provided only to the extent that the game balls do not reach the first winning opening 40.

  The upstream guide member 80 is one member for guiding a game ball provided in the first game area 11. The upstream guiding member 80 is provided so as to be connected to the winning guiding member 60. Specifically, the upstream guide member 80 is provided so that the downstream end thereof is connected to the upstream end of the winning guide member 60. The upstream end of the winning guide member 60 is the end far from the first winning opening 40. What the upstream guiding member 80 and the winning guiding member 60 are considered as a group as a whole can be said to be a guiding member toward the first winning opening 40.

  In the middle of the upstream guide member 80, one or a plurality of branch ports 81 through which game balls can pass are formed. In the present embodiment, two branch ports 81 are formed. Therefore, if the game ball guided to the upstream guide member 80 does not pass through the branch port 81, the game ball reaches the winning guide member 60 as it is and is guided toward the first winning port 40 by the winning guide member 60. On the other hand, when passing through the branch port 81, there is a possibility of winning another winning port 82. In the present embodiment, another winning opening 82 (so-called bonus winning opening) different from the first winning opening 40 and the second winning opening 70 is provided below each of the two branch openings 81, and the game ball is When passing through the branch port 81, there is a possibility of winning another winning port 82. If no prize is received in another prize opening 82, the prize is discharged from the outlet 30. Another winning opening 82 is provided on the left side of the game area. An area where the first decorative member 21 is visible in the first game area 11 is located between the other winning opening 82 and the first winning opening 40. In other words, a region between the discharge guiding member 50 and the winning guiding member 60 is located where no member for guiding the game ball is provided. In other words, another winning opening 82 is located on the opposite side of the first winning opening 40 side of the region where the first decorative member 21 is visible.

  Another winning opening 82 in the present embodiment has a shape in which an inclination angle of an opening serving as an entrance (a plane along the opening) is closer to 90 degrees along the vertical direction than 0 degrees along the width direction (inclination). The angle is greater than 45 degrees and less than 90 degrees). Therefore, the space occupied by the other winning opening 82 in the width direction is small, and the area where the first decorative member 21 is visible in the first game area 11 is large.

  The outline of the game of the gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment configured as described above is as follows. The outline of the game described below is an example. The jackpot lottery method, effects, and the like can be applied to those similar to known game machines, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  In a normal gaming state in which the jackpot lottery probability is relatively low, the player operates the launching device so that the game ball enters the first game area 11. That is, a so-called left-handed game is performed. A jackpot lottery (a lottery with a low probability) is executed when a game ball that has entered the first game area 11 wins the navel winning slot 91.

  When the game ball wins a winning prize at the navel winning opening 91, the open / close members (the left open / close member 411 and the right open / close member 421) are frequently opened. That is, it becomes easy for a game ball to enter the first winning opening 40 (the left first winning opening 41 and the right first winning opening 42). The player can make a left-handed game so that the game ball enters the first game area 11, and the game ball wins the first winning opening 40, so that a lot of game balls can be obtained as a prize ball. .

  As described above, the game ball that has been guided by the upstream guide member 80 without passing through the branch port 81 and has reached the winning guide member 60 reaches the vicinity of the first winning port 40 unless passing through the drop port 61. There is a possibility of winning the first winning opening 40. The game ball that has passed through the branch port 81 may win a different winning opening 82, and when the winning ball 82 is won, a predetermined winning ball is paid out. Further, in the present embodiment, the game ball that has passed through the left side (width direction outer side) branch path 81 of the two branch paths 81, and is another winning port 82 positioned below the left branch path 81. The game balls that have not won a prize are guided to the discharge port 30 through a passage formed inside the discharge guide member 50. On the other hand, a game ball that has passed through the right side (width direction inner side) branch path 81 and that has not won another winning opening 82 positioned below the right side branch path 81 is discharged to the discharge guiding member 50. And is guided to the discharge port 30 by the discharge guide member 50.

  After the jackpot game ends, the game proceeds to a high-probability game state in which the jackpot lottery probability is relatively high. In the high probability gaming state, the player operates the launching device so that the game ball enters the second game area 12. That is, a so-called right-handed game is performed. In the high probability state, the attacker opening / closing member provided in front of the upper attacker winning port 71 which is one of the second winning ports 70 is frequently opened. Specifically, in the high-probability state, in order to win the open lottery of the attacker opening and closing member provided in front of the upper attacker winning opening 71 when the game ball passes the winning gate 74, This makes it easier for the ball to enter the upper attacker winning slot 71. When the game ball wins the upper attacker winning slot 71, a big win lottery (a lottery with high probability) is executed.

  When the game ball wins a big hit with the winning of the upper attacker winning opening 71, the attacker opening / closing member provided in front of the lower attacker winning opening 72 is frequently opened. That is, the game ball is likely to win the lower attacker winning slot 72. The player plays a right-handed game so that the game ball enters the second game area 12, and the game ball wins the lower attacker winning slot 72, so that a lot of game balls can be obtained as award balls. . The jackpot lottery in the high probability state is performed a predetermined number of times, and if the jackpot is not won even if the predetermined number of lotteries is performed, the lottery shifts to the low probability state (returns to the so-called left-handed gaming state).

  During such a right-handed game, a game ball that has passed through the upstream region 121 without winning any of the upper attacker winning port 71 and the lower attacker winning port 72 as the second winning port 70 enters the downstream region 122. As described above, the downstream region 122 is provided with members (game nails, etc.) for guiding the game ball only to the extent that the game ball does not reach the first winning opening 40. The game ball that has entered 122 does not win the first winning opening 40.

  In the lower right of the gaming area, another winning opening 92 different from the other winning opening 82, the first winning opening 40 and the second winning opening 70 provided in the first gaming area 11 is provided. During the so-called right-handed game, there is a possibility that the game ball will win the other winning opening 92, and when the other winning opening 92 is won, a predetermined winning ball is paid out.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment described above, the following operational effects are exhibited. In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a member that guides the game ball is not provided between the winning guide member 60 and the discharge guide member 50 in the first game area 11, and the member that guides the game ball. The first decorative member 21 located behind the part is visually recognized through the transparent part of the game board 10 in which no is provided. In addition, a member for guiding the game ball is provided in the downstream region 122 in the second game region 12 so that the game ball that has entered does not reach. In other words, the second decorative member 22 located behind the part is visually recognized through the transparent part of the game board 10 with few members for guiding the game ball. Thus, in this embodiment, since there are few members which block the decoration of the game area comprised by the game board 10 with at least one part being transparent, it is possible to improve the decoration property of a game area.

  Further, by providing the upstream guide member 80 formed with the branch port 81 so as to be connected to the winning guide member 60, another winning port is provided so that the decoration performance of the first game area 11 by the first decoration member 21 is not deteriorated. 82 can be installed (increase game play). By adjusting the numbers and sizes of the drop openings 61 and the branch openings 81, it is possible to appropriately adjust the winning probability to the first winning opening 40 or another winning opening 82.

  Further, at least a part of the portion where the second winning opening 70 is located in the upstream region 121 is a flow path (attacker flow path 73) that extends in the vertical direction and has a width of one game ball or more and less than two. Therefore, the downstream area 122 of the second game area 12 decorated by the second decoration member 22 is enlarged while ensuring the gameability in the second game area 12 (so-called fun game in the right-handed game state). (Enhancing the decorativeness of the second game area 12) is possible. More specifically, the width of the attacker flow path 73 along the top and bottom where the second winning opening 70 is located is at least partially less than one game ball and less than two, so that two or more game balls are lined up. , The ball clogging at the entrance of the attacker flow path 73 and the second winning port 70 is suppressed. And since the width | variety of the attacker flow path 73 along an up-down direction is small, it becomes possible to enlarge the downstream area 122 of the 2nd game area | region 12 decorated with the 2nd decoration member 22. FIG. That is, the configuration (shape / arrangement) of the second winning port 70 and the attacker channel 73 provided with the second winning port 70 as in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment has an effect of preventing ball clogging. In addition, the effect of improving the decorativeness of the second game area 12 is exhibited.
