A ball falls naturally from the bottom opening and is discharged. The operation of the ball release lever 52 is usually performed with a box (generally referred to as a "seven box") for receiving the ball discharged from the lower plate 50 below the lower plate 50. The operating handle 51 is disposed on the right side of the lower plate 50 as described above, and the ashtray 53 is attached on the left side of the lower plate 50.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the gaming board 13 has a base plate 60 cut into a substantially square shape in a front view, a large number of nails for guiding balls, a windmill (not shown), rails 61 and 62, and general winning The first opening 63, the second opening 640, the first variable winning device 65, the second variable winning device (not shown), the through gate 67, the variable display unit 80, etc. The peripheral portion is attached to the back side of the inner frame 12 (see FIG. 1). The base plate 60 is made of a light transmissive resin material, and is formed so as to allow the player to visually recognize various structures disposed on the rear surface side of the base plate 60 from the front side. The general winning opening 63, the first winning opening 64, the second winning opening 640, the first variable winning device 65, the second variable winning device (not shown), and the variable display unit 80 are formed on the base plate 60 by router processing. It is disposed in the through hole and fixed from the front side of the game board 13 by a tapping screw or the like.

  The front center portion of the game board 13 can be viewed from the front side of the inner frame 12 through the window portion 14c (see FIG. 1) of the front frame 14. Hereinafter, the configuration of the game board 13 will be described mainly with reference to FIG.

  On the front of the game board 13, an outer rail 62 formed by bending a strip-shaped metal plate into a substantially arc shape is planted, and at the inner position of the outer rail 62, a strip-shaped metal plate is formed similarly to the outer rail 62. The arc-shaped inner rail 61 formed in the above is planted. The front outer periphery of the game board 13 is surrounded by the inner rails 61 and the outer rails 62, and the front and back are surrounded by the game board 13 and the glass unit 16 (see FIG. 1). A game area in which a game is played is formed by the behavior of the game. The game area is a front area of the game board 13 and is divided by two rails 61 and 62 and a resin outer edge member 73 connecting the rails (a prize opening and the like are provided and launched). Area where the ball flows down).

  The two rails 61 and 62 are provided to guide the ball fired from the ball launch unit 112a (see FIG. 4) to the top of the game board 13. A return ball preventing member 68 is attached to the end portion (upper left part in FIG. 2) of the inner rail 61, and the situation in which the ball guided to the upper part of the game board 13 once comes back into the ball guide passage is prevented. Be done. On the tip of the outer rail 62 (the upper right part in FIG. 2), a rubber return 69 is attached at a position corresponding to the largest flying portion of the ball, and the ball fired with a predetermined momentum Is bounced toward the central part while being attenuated.

  First symbol display devices 37A and 37B provided with a plurality of LEDs as light emitting means and a 7-segment display are disposed on the lower left side of the game area (the lower left side in FIG. 2). The first symbol display devices 37A and 37B perform display according to each control performed by the main control unit 110 (see FIG. 4), and display of the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 is mainly performed. In the present embodiment, the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B are configured to be used according to whether the ball has won the first winning opening 64 or the second winning opening 640. Specifically, when the ball wins the first winning opening 64, the first symbol display device 37A is activated, and when the ball wins the second winning opening 640, the first The symbol display device 37B is configured to operate.

  In addition, the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B indicate whether or not the pachinko machine 10 is in a steady change, a time-short or a normal, by means of LEDs, or indicate whether it is in fluctuation by means of an on-light condition. The stop symbol indicates whether the symbol corresponds to the probability variation big hit or the symbol corresponding to the normal big hit or not by the lighted state, or indicates the number of holding balls by the lighted state, and by the 7-segment display device, the round of the big hit Display numbers and errors. In addition, a plurality of LEDs may be configured to have different emission colors (for example, red, green, blue) of the respective LEDs, and the combination of the emission colors may suggest various gaming states of the pachinko machine 10 with a small number of LEDs. it can.

  In the pachinko machine 10, a lottery is performed in response to the first winning opening 64 and the second winning opening 640 having a winning. In the lottery, the pachinko machine 10 determines whether or not the jackpot is successful (jump lottery), and when it is determined that the jackpot is made, the jackpot type is also determined. As jackpot types determined here, 15R probability variation jackpots, 4R probability variation jackpots, and 15R regular jackpots are prepared. Not only is it shown whether or not the result of the lottery is a big hit as the stop symbol after the end of the fluctuation in the first symbol display devices 37A, 37B, and if it is a big hit, a symbol according to the big hit type is shown .

  Here, "15R probability variation jackpot" is a probability variation jackpot where the maximum number of rounds shifts to a high probability state after 15 round jackpots, and "4R probability variation jackpot" is a maximum number of round jackpots with 4 rounds It is a probability change jackpot to shift to a high probability state after. Also, “15R normal jackpot” is a jackpot in which the maximum number of rounds transitions to a low probability state after jackpots of 15 rounds and for a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 fluctuation numbers) becomes a short time state. is there.

  Also, "high probability state" refers to a state in which the subsequent jackpot probability is increased as added value after the end of the jackpot, so-called probability fluctuation (during a definite change), in other words, a game that is easy to shift to a special gaming state The state of The high probability state (during a definite change) in the present embodiment includes a game state in which the ball is likely to be won in the second winning opening 640 by increasing the hitting probability of the second symbol described later. The term "low probability state" refers to a time when the probability of change is not positive, and a state where the jackpot probability is normal, that is, a state in which the jackpot probability is lower than that of probability change. Moreover, with the time saving state (time saving) of the "low probability state", the jackpot probability is a normal state, and only the jackpot probability of the second symbol is increased with the jackpot probability unchanged, and the second winning opening 640 To say the state of the game where the ball is easy to win. On the other hand, when the pachinko machine 10 is normally medium is the state of the game which is neither a definite change nor a time reduction (a state in which neither the jackpot probability nor the hit probability of the second symbol is increased).

  The probability change of the second symbol not only increases during a definite change or time, but also the time when the motorized accessory 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is changed, and a longer time than normal It is set. When the motorized part 640a is in the open state (open state), the ball reaches the second winning opening 640 compared to when the motorized part 640a is in the closed state (closed state). It becomes easy condition. Therefore, the ball is likely to be won in the second winning opening 640 during a definite change or during a time cut, and it is possible to increase the number of times a jackpot lottery is performed.

  In addition, in addition to changing the opening time of the motorized role thing 640a attached to the second winning a prize opening 640 during a definite change or during a short time, or in addition to changing the opening time, the electric operation per hit A change may be made to increase the number of times the accessory 640 a is released more than in the normal mode. In addition, the probability of hitting the second symbol does not change during definite changes or during a short time, and the electric symbol 640a is opened at a time and once when the electric symbol 640a associated with the second winning opening 640 is opened. At least one of the numbers may be changed. In addition, the time during which the electric winning combination 640a associated with the second winning opening 640 is open or the number of times the electric combination 640a is opened per hit does not occur during a certain change or during a short time, and the second symbol is hit Only the probability may be changed to be up relative to normal.

  In the game area, there are provided a plurality of general winning openings 63 in which five to fifteen balls are paid out as winning balls by winning balls. Further, a variable display device unit 80 is disposed in the central portion of the game area. The variable display device unit 80 is triggered by winnings (start winnings) to the first winning opening 64 and the second winning opening 640, while being synchronized with the variable display in the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B, the third symbol A third symbol display device 81 configured of a liquid crystal display (hereinafter simply referred to as “display device”) that performs variable display, and an LED that variably displays the second symbol triggered by the passage of a ball of through gate 67 A second symbol display device (not shown) is provided. Further, a center frame 86 is disposed in the variable display unit 80 so as to surround the outer periphery of the third symbol display device 81.

  The third symbol display device 81 is configured of a large 9-inch liquid crystal display, and the display content is controlled by the display control device 114 (see FIG. 4), for example, the upper, middle and lower 3 One symbol column is displayed. Each symbol row is constituted by a plurality of symbols (third symbol), and the third symbol is variably displayed on the display screen of the third symbol display device 81 by horizontally scrolling these third symbols for each symbol row It is supposed to be. The third symbol display device 81 of the present embodiment is the first symbol display device 37A, 37B in which the display of the gaming state accompanied by the control of the main control device 110 (see FIG. 4) is performed, but the first A decorative display is performed according to the display of the symbol display devices 37A and 37B. The third symbol display device 81 may be configured using, for example, a reel instead of the display device.

  The second symbol display device alternately turns on the symbol “o” and the symbol “x” as display symbols (the second symbol (not shown)) for a predetermined time each time the ball passes through gate 67 It is a variable display. In the pachinko machine 10, when it is detected that the ball has passed the through gate 67, a winning lottery is performed. If it is a result of the winning lottery, if it is a hit, the symbol of "o" is stopped and displayed after the variation display of the second symbol in the second symbol display device. Further, if the result of the winning lottery is out of alignment, the symbol "x" is stopped and displayed after the variation display of the third symbol in the second symbol display device.

  In the pachinko machine 10, when the variable display in the second symbol display device is stopped at a predetermined symbol (in the present embodiment, the symbol "o"), the motorized role 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 has a predetermined time It is configured to be activated (opened) only.

  The time taken for the variable display of the second symbol is set so as to be shorter during the probability change or during the time saving than when the gaming state is normal. As a result, since the variation display of the second symbol is performed in a short time during the definite change and during the short time, it is possible to perform the winning lottery more frequently than in the middle. Therefore, since the chance of winning in the winning lottery increases, it is possible to give the player a lot of opportunities for the electric winning combination 640 a of the second winning opening 640 to be in the open state. Therefore, it is possible to make it easy for the ball to win the second winning opening 640 during the probability change and during the time saving.

  In addition, the second winning opening 640 during the definite change or time reduction by other methods, such as increasing the open probability and increasing the opening time and opening number of the motorized combination 640a per hit, which increases the hit probability during definite change or time reduction. When the ball is in a state in which it is easy to win, the time taken for the variable display of the second symbol may be constant regardless of the gaming state. On the other hand, when the time taken for the variable display of the second symbol is set shorter during the definite change or during the short time than during the normal time, the winning probability may be made constant regardless of the gaming state, and a single hit The opening time and the number of times of opening of the motorized role product 640a with respect to may be constant regardless of the gaming state.

  The through gate 67 is assembled to the game board on the right side in the lower area of the variable display unit 80, and among the balls fired on the game board, a part of the ball flowing down the right of the game board can pass Is configured. When the ball passes through gate 67, a lottery for winning the second symbol is performed. After the winning lottery, the variable display is performed on the second symbol display device, and if the result of the winning lottery is a hit, the symbol of "○" is displayed as a stop symbol of the variable display, and the result of the winning lottery is out For example, the symbol of "x" is displayed as a stop symbol of the variable display.

  The number of times the ball passes through gate 67 is held up to a total of four times, and the number of balls held is indicated by the above-mentioned first symbol display devices 37A and 37B and the second symbol hold lamp (not shown) Is also displayed. Four second symbol holding lamps are provided for the maximum number of holdings, and are arranged symmetrically below the third symbol display device 81.

  In addition, as the variable display of the second symbol is performed by switching on and off of a plurality of lamps in the second symbol display device as in the present embodiment, the first symbol display devices 37A, 37B and the third A part of the symbol display device 81 may be used. Similarly, the lighting of the second symbol holding lamp may be performed by part of the third symbol display device 81. Further, the maximum number of holding balls for the passage of the ball of the through gate 67 is not limited to four times, and may be set to three times or less, or five times or more (for example, eight times). Further, the number of through gates 67 assembled is not limited to one, and may be plural (for example, two). Further, the assembly position of the through gate 67 is not limited to the right side of the variable display unit 80, and may be, for example, the left side of the variable display unit 80. Further, since the number of balls held is indicated by the first symbol display devices 37A and 37B, the second symbol holding lamp may not perform the lighting display.

  Below the variable display unit 80, there is disposed a first winning opening 64 in which a ball can be won. When the ball is won in the first winning opening 64, the first winning opening switch (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control unit 110 is turned on due to the turning on of the first winning opening switch. A lottery for a big hit is made at (see FIG. 4), and a display corresponding to the lottery result is shown by the first symbol display device 37A.

  On the other hand, on the right side in a front view of the first winning opening 64, a second winning opening 640 in which a ball can win is disposed. When a ball is won in the second winning opening 640, a second winning opening switch (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 13 is turned on, and the main control unit 110 is turned on due to the second winning opening switch being turned on. A lottery for a big hit is made at (see FIG. 4), and a display corresponding to the lottery result is shown by the first symbol display device 37B.

  The number of times the ball passes through the first winning opening 64 and the second winning opening 640 is respectively held up to a maximum of four times, and the number of holding balls is displayed by the above-described first symbol display devices 37A and 37B. Furthermore, for example, as the number of holding balls in the first winning opening 64 increases, it is controlled that a shorter period is more easily selected as the variable display period on the display device. Similarly, the second winning opening 640 is also controlled.

  Further, each of the first winning opening 64 and the second winning opening 640 is also one of the winning openings in which five balls are paid out as winning balls when the balls win. In the present embodiment, the number of winning balls to be paid out when the ball is won in the first winning opening 64 and the number of winning balls to be paid out when the ball is winning in the second winning opening 640 are configured the same. The number of winning balls to be paid out when the ball has won the first winning opening 64 and the number of winning balls to be paid out when the second winning opening 640 has the ball, for example, to the first winning opening 64 The number of winning balls to be paid out when the player wins a prize may be three, and the number of winning balls to be paid out when the second prize winning hole 640 has won may be five.

  The second winning opening 640 is accompanied by a motorized role 640 a. The electric role object 640a is configured to be openable and closable, and normally, the electric role object 640a is in a closed state (shrinkage state), and it is difficult for the ball to win the second prize opening 640. On the other hand, when the symbol of "o" is displayed on the second symbol display device as a result of the fluctuation display of the second symbol performed triggered by the passage of the ball to the through gate 67, the motorized role piece 640a is in the open state (enlarged State), and the ball is likely to win the second winning opening 640.

  As mentioned above, the probability of hitting the second symbol is higher than that in the normal condition, and the time taken for the variable display of the second symbol is short as compared to the normal, and therefore, in the variable display of the second symbol The symbol of “” becomes easy to be displayed, and the number of times that the motorized role piece 640 a is in the open state (enlarged state) is increased. Furthermore, during definite period of time and short time, the time when the motorized accessory 640a is opened is also longer than usual. Therefore, it is possible to create a state in which the ball is more likely to win to the second winning opening 640 compared to the normal time during definite variation and during time saving.

  Here, the probability of being a big hit is the same in either the low probability state or the high probability state in the case where the ball has won in the first winning opening 64 and the case in which the ball has won in the second winning opening 640. However, the probability of becoming a 15R probability variation jackpot as the type of jackpot selected when jackpot is higher is higher in the case where the ball has won in the second winning opening 640 than in the case where the ball has won in the first winning opening 64 It is set. On the other hand, the first winning opening 64 does not have a motorized part like the second winning opening 640, and the ball is always in a state where it is possible to win.

  Therefore, during the normal operation, there are many cases in which the motorized prize associated with the second winning opening 640 is in the closed state, and it is difficult to win the second winning opening 640, and therefore, it is directed to the first prize opening 64 without the electric jack. Launch the ball so that the ball passes the left side of the variable display unit 80 (so-called "left-handed"), and the winning of the first winning opening 64 gives a lot of opportunities for a big hit lottery and becomes a big hit It is advantageous for the player to aim at things.

  On the other hand, the electric gate 640a attached to the second winning opening 640 is likely to be in the open state by passing the ball through the through gate 67 during definite variation or time, and it is easy to win the second winning opening 640. The ball is fired so that the ball passes the right side of the variable display 80 toward the second winning hole 640 (so-called "right-handed"), and the motor gate is opened by passing through the through gate 67. It is advantageous for the player to aim at becoming a 15R probability variation jackpot by winning in the second winning opening 640.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment emits a ball to the player according to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 (whether it is in the process of being changed, time is short, or is normal). You can change the way of “right-handed” and “right-handed”. Therefore, the player can enjoy the game because it can change the way of hitting the ball.

Thereafter, the gaming state transitions to a special gaming state (big hit) in which the ball is easy to win. In this special game state, the special winning opening 65a which is normally closed is opened for a predetermined time (for example, until 30 seconds have elapsed or 10 balls have been won).

  The specific winning hole 65a is closed when a predetermined time passes, and after the closing, the specific winning hole 65a is opened again for a predetermined time. The opening and closing operation of the specific winning hole 65a can be repeated, for example, 15 times (15 rounds) at the maximum. The state in which the opening and closing operation is being performed is a form of special gaming state advantageous to the player, and the player is paid out a larger amount of prize balls than usual as the provision of the gaming value (game value). Is done.

  Specifically, the first variable winning device 65 is a front view triangular opening / closing plate covering the specific winning opening 65a, and a large opening solenoid (not shown) for driving to open and close the lower side of the opening / closing plate to the right. And). The specific winning opening 65a is normally in a closed state in which the ball can not win or is difficult to win. In the case of a big hit, the large opening solenoid is driven to tilt the opening / closing plate to the right, and the ball is temporarily formed in an open state where it is easy for the specified winning opening 65a to win, and the open state and the closed state at normal times It works to repeat the state of alternately.

It mainly includes a first extending wing portion 322b and a second extending wing portion 322c which are extended in a pair and which form an angle of 90 ° with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the first extending wing portion 322 b and the second extending wing portion 322 c are configured to be able to extend from the top plate portion opening 311 c toward the inside of the first groove 311 a, and In the initial state where the slide moving member 321 is maintained at the lower end position by gravity, the first extending wing portion 322b is disposed at a position where it can abut against the ball.

  The second extending wing portion 322c is provided with a protruding portion 322c1 having a tapered shape and protruding in a direction approaching the first groove 311 from the state shown in FIG. The convex portion 322c1 acts in such a manner as to separate the balls when they flow down the first groove in two consecutive balls.

  The first adjustment device 330 is a main body plate member 331 which is a plate-like member sandwiching the main body member 310 with the game board 13, and a main body gear portion 322a of the wind turbine member 322 while being pivotally supported by the main body plate member 331. And a rotation biasing device 332 having a fixed gear portion 332a engaged with each other. The gear ratio of the fixed gear portion 332 a to the main body gear portion 322 a of the wind turbine member 322 is approximately 2. That is, as the wind turbine member 322 rotates 90 degrees, the rotation urging device 332 rotates 45 degrees.

  The main body plate member 331 is an elongated hole for guiding the slide moving member 321 and includes a pair of elongated holes 331a, and is also formed in the support plate portion 314 in which the elongated holes 314a having the same shape are disposed opposite to each other. By being guided by the long holes 314a and 331a, the slide moving member 321 is configured to be able to slide and move in the straight direction.

  The rotation biasing device 332 mainly includes a fixed gear portion 332a pivotally supported by the main body plate member 331, and a functional disk device 332b fixed to the fixed gear portion 332a at its axial end and having a recessed groove therein. Prepare for

  The sorting device 340 is a device pivotally supported by the central hole 345 in the main body member 310 on the right of the second groove 312 of the main body member 310, and in the initial state shown in FIG. The first wall portion 341 that receives the second wall portion 342 that is disposed opposite to the first wall portion 341 so as to be separated above the first wall portion 341, and the tip end portion of the second wall portion 342 An arc wall portion 343 formed along an arc shape centering on the rotation axis, and a disc shape and disposed at a surface position with the recessed portion 312 of the second groove 312 and on the back side of the second groove 312 It mainly includes a complementary plate portion 344 formed in such a manner as to complement a portion of the plate portion, and a central hole 345 which is a through hole pivotally supported by the main body member 310.

  The second wall portion 342 includes a distal end convex portion 342 a that is provided in a radially protruding manner at the extending distal end. The tip convex portion 342a can apply a load in a counterclockwise direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 6) to the sorting device 340 by the ball flowing down by coming into contact with the arc wall portion 343. As a result, it can be suppressed that the sorting device 340 returns to the initial position side.

  The initial position of the sorting device 340 is defined by a stopper portion S1 protruding toward the rear of the game board 13. That is, at the initial position, the sorting device 340 is stopped by the leading end of the arc wall portion 343 being stopped by the stopper portion S1. The driving force for rotating the distribution device 340 clockwise in a front view (clockwise in FIG. 6) is generated by the second adjustment device 350.

  The second adjustment device 350 is a device fixed to the complementary plate portion 344 of the distribution device 340, and is a device having a flow path in which the pseudo gravity center sphere GB for changing the gravity center in the inside is movable. 15 will be described later.

  FIG. 8 is a partial cross-sectional view of the delay device 300 taken along line VIII-VIII of FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the slide moving member 321 is disposed at the central portion of the main passage 311 a. Thus, when the slide moving member 321 protrudes inside the main passage 311a, the convex portion 321a1 can be reliably made to abut on the ball flowing down the first groove 311.

  A sphere flowing down the main passage 311a can flow into the back side recess 311e from the shape relationship. The back side recess portion 311e has a return wall portion 311e1 configured to be closer to the main passage 311a as it goes to the downstream side (left side in FIG. 8). As a result, the ball that has flowed into the back side recessed portion 311e can not be returned to the main passage 311a, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of ball clogging.

  Next, the slide moving member 321 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. FIG. 9 is a front perspective view of the slide moving member 321, FIG. 10 (a) is a front view of the slide moving member 321, and FIG. 10 (b) is a view in the direction of arrow Xb of FIG. 10 (c) is a top view of the slide moving member 321 in the direction of arrow Xc in FIG. 10 (a), and FIG. 10 (d) is a side view of FIG. 10 (a). FIG. 16 is a partial cross-sectional view of the slide moving member 321 taken along line Xd-Xd of FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the slide moving member 321 is a long plate-like first overhanging plate portion 321a which projects in a plane parallel to the main passage in the central portion of the main passage 311a of the delay device 300; A second overhanging plate portion 321b continuously connected to one end of the first overhanging plate portion 321a and extending downward with respect to the extending direction of the first overhanging plate portion 321a; Round bar-shaped guide rod portions 321c in which a pair extends in parallel at both longitudinal direction end portions of the projecting portions 321a and 321b, and a depth direction with respect to the projecting plate portions 321a and 321b (Fig. 10 (a) And a rack gear portion 321d extending in a straight line at a position offset in the vertical direction and in which rack gear teeth are formed.

  The first overhanging plate portion 321a is a plate portion extending in a direction parallel to the extending direction of the main passage 311a in the assembled state (see FIG. 6), and is disposed at a diameter interval of balls A convex portion 321a1 is provided to be convexly formed in a semicircular shape from the upper surface. When the convex portion 321a1 abuts on the ball, the speed of the ball passing through the main passage 311a (see FIG. 8) is reduced.

  The second overhanging plate portion 321b includes a convex portion 321b1 which produces the same action as the convex portion 321a1, and an inclined surface 321b2 (see FIG. 10D) which is inclined downward toward the back side. When the second overhanging plate portion 321b projects inside the main passage 311a, the sloping surface 321b2 makes the flowing ball easy to face the back concave portion 311e (see FIG. 8). Therefore, in the main passage 311a, the passage period of the sphere can be extended as compared with the case where the sphere flows down in a straight line along the extending direction.

  Since the first extending plate portion 321a and the second extending plate portion 321b have different extending directions, the first extending plate portion 321a protrudes inside the main passage 311a while the second extending plate portion 321b is a main extension plate. A state of being disposed outside the passage 311 a can be formed. That is, although the degree of deceleration of the ball can be changed by the arrangement of the slide moving member 321, the details will be described later.

  The guide rod portion 321c is inserted into the long hole 331a of the first adjustment device 330 (see FIG. 6). Thereby, the slide moving member 321 is supported so as to be slidable along the extending direction of the long hole 331a.

  The rack gear portion 321d is extended in parallel with the extending direction of the long hole 331a, and the rack gear teeth are engaged with the main body gear portion 322a of the wind turbine member 322 (see FIG. 6). Thus, the rotation of the wind turbine member 322 causes the rack gear portion 321d to slide in a linear direction (the extending direction of the long hole 331a).

  Next, the distribution device 340 and the second adjustment device 350 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. 11 is a front perspective view of the sorting device 340 and the second adjustment device 350, and FIG. 12 (a) is a front view of the sorting device 340 and the second adjustment device 350, and FIG. 12 (b) is a view It is a side view of distribution device 340 and the 2nd adjustment device 350 in arrow XIIb direction view of 12 (a), and Drawing 12 (c) shows distribution device 340 and the 2nd adjustment in arrow XIIc direction view of Drawing 12 (a). It is a top view of the apparatus 350, and FIG.12 (d) is a fragmentary sectional view of the distribution apparatus 340 and the 2nd adjustment apparatus 350 in the XIId-XIId line | wire of Fig.12 (a). In addition, in FIG.12 (d), the state in which the pseudo gravity center ball | bowl GB got on the deceleration wall part 351d is shown in figure.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the front side of the complementary plate portion 344 is open except for the portions occupied by the wall portions 341, 342, 343, and is used as a side wall of a passage through which a ball flows down (see FIG. 6). .

  The second adjustment device 350 is fixed to the back side of the complementary plate portion 344 and has a concaved flow path for causing the pseudo gravity center ball GB to flow downward, and a concave portion of the gravity center change device 351 And a lid member 352 fixed to the center-of-gravity changing device 351 in a manner of closing the lid.

  The center-of-gravity changing device 351 includes a disk-shaped main body member 351a having a shallow recessed portion, a recessed groove portion 351b recessed with a width that allows the pseudo gravity center ball GB to flow down in the main body member 351a, and the recessed groove portion And a decelerating mechanism extending on one side of the flow path partitioned by the partition wall 351c and the partition wall 351c that allows passage of the pseudo gravity center ball GB only at the tip end portion and decelerating the flow of the pseudo gravity center ball And one end (the lower end of FIG. 12A) of the partition wall 351c is pivotally supported pivotally on one side of the pseudo gravity center ball GB (FIG. 12A rightward direction) And the directional valve 351 e that only allows the passage of

  The position of the center of gravity of the second adjustment device 350 excluding the pseudo center of gravity ball GB is set to be the same as the rotation center. That is, the posture in which the distributing device 340 is stabilized is determined by which position the pseudo gravity center ball GB is disposed with respect to the rotation center.

  Here, the pseudo center-of-gravity sphere GB is formed of a sphere having a weight equal to or less than the sphere. For example, if the weight of the sphere is 5 grams, it is desirable to select a sphere of approximately 2 to 4 grams as the pseudo gravity center sphere GB. As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation where forces are balanced between the ball flowing into the distribution device 340 and the pseudo gravity center ball GB, and it becomes possible to rotate the distribution device 340 by the weight of the ball.

  The speed reducing mechanism of the speed reducing wall 351 d will be described with reference to FIG. The deceleration wall portion 351d is a portion that supports both sides of the ball from the lower side, and the ball rolls in that state. As shown in FIG. 12 (d), the pseudo gravity center sphere GB does not roll at a portion where the length from the rotation axis is the maximum diameter (radius r1) (the center portion in the horizontal direction of FIG. 12 (d)). The rolling contact portion 351d rolls in a portion where the length from the rotation axis is a radius (radius r'1) shorter than the maximum diameter. Therefore, when the rotation speed of the pseudo gravity center ball GB is the same, the speed of the pseudo gravity center ball GB is reduced compared to the speed of the pseudo gravity center ball GB when rolling on the partition wall 351c (rolling with radius r1). It is possible to slow the speed of the pseudo gravity center ball GB when rolling on the wall portion 351d (rolling with radius r'1).

  That is, the translational movement distance around one rotation of the pseudo gravity center ball GB can be shortened. When the pseudo gravity center sphere GB is decelerated by this method, the deceleration can be performed while holding the rotational energy of the pseudo gravity center sphere GB, so the braking is too effective and the pseudo gravity center sphere GB stops at an unintended position. You can avoid the situation.

  Also, since the degree of deceleration of the pseudo gravity center ball GB can be arbitrarily set by setting the contact position (rolling radius of the pseudo gravity center ball GB) of the deceleration wall 351d and the pseudo gravity center ball GB, a special material (high friction And the like) are unnecessary, and the pseudo gravity center sphere GB can be sufficiently decelerated even when the formation distance of the decelerating wall portion 351d is short.

  Next, the operation of the delay device 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14. 13 and 14 are front views of the delay device 300. FIG. 13 shows the state immediately after the ball flows one ball through the main body member 310 in the initial state shown in FIG. 6, and FIG. 14 shows the state immediately after the ball flows one ball through the main body member 310 in the state of FIG. Is illustrated.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, when the ball passes, the distributing device 340 changes its posture to the initial state (see FIG. 6) and the change state (see FIG. 13), and the reduction gear 320 counts the number of passing balls. Thus, the state (arrangement in the height direction) changes in the initial state (see FIG. 6), the intermediate state (see FIG. 13), and the raised state (see FIG. 13).

  Each state of the reduction gear 320 will be described. When the reduction gear 320 is in the intermediate state, the slide moving member 321 is moved, and the convex portion 321a is disposed at a position where the convex portion 321a protrudes from the bottom surface of the main passage 311a. Therefore, in this state, the ball which has flowed into the main passage 311 a comes in contact with the convex portion 321 a and flows down while being decelerated. In the intermediate state, the second overhanging plate portion 321 b is disposed outside the first groove 311.

  When the reduction gear 320 is in the raised state, the slide moving member 321 further projects into the main passage 311a, and the second overhang plate portion 321b is disposed above the bottom surface of the back side recessed portion 311e. Since the second overhanging plate portion 321b has the inclined surface 321b (see FIG. 10) on the upper surface, the sphere that has flowed into the main passage 311a in this state is the back side recessed portion 311e along the inclination of the inclined surface 321b. After flowing to the lower end portion of the back concave portion 311e, the main passage 311a joins again.

  When the reduction gear 320 is in the raised state, the road width (the width in the height direction) of the main passage 31a is narrowed by the first overhang plate portion 321a protruding inside the main passage 311a. Further, in the present embodiment, the sliding movement member 321 slides in a direction inclined with respect to the extending direction of the main passage 311a, whereby the contact wall 312a of the second groove 312 and the first overhanging plate portion 321a. The width with the end narrows. Therefore, deceleration of the ball can be performed by narrowing the path width of the main passage 311 a and narrowing the path width of the connection portion between the first groove 311 and the second groove 312 to increase the flow path resistance.

  Each state of the distribution device 340 will be described. When the sorting device 340 is in the initial state (see FIG. 6), the balls flowing into the sorting device 340 are received by the first wall portion 341. Then, the weight of the ball rotates the distributing device 340 until it changes (see FIG. 13), and the ball flows into the detection port 312d.

  Here, in the present embodiment, since the side wall portion 312 e is configured to project upward (outward at a height greater than the radius of the ball) than the first wall portion 341, the ball flows into the third groove 313 side Is suppressed. Therefore, when the distributing device 340 is in the initial state, the balls flowing into the distributing device 340 can be made to flow down vertically with high probability (the flow can be made to flow down in the shortest period).

  When the distribution device 340 is in the changed state (see FIG. 13), the ball flowing into the distribution device 340 abuts on the arc wall portion 343 and flows into the third groove 313. In addition, since the arc wall portion 343 is formed in an arc shape centering on the center hole 345 of the distribution device 340, the load when the ball collides is applied in the direction toward the rotation shaft of the distribution device 340. Applying a load in the rotational direction to the distribution device 340 is suppressed.

  Therefore, it is possible to prevent the distribution apparatus 340 from returning to the initial state unintentionally by the impact given by the ball flowing into the distribution apparatus 340 to the distribution apparatus 340 in the change state, and the distribution apparatus 340 changes for a predetermined period. It can be ensured that the state is maintained.

  Next, adjustment of the posture change timing of the distribution device 340 will be described with reference to FIG. Fig.15 (a) to FIG.15 (c) is sectional drawing of the 2nd adjustment apparatus 350 in the plane orthogonal to a rotating shaft. In FIGS. 15 (a) to 15 (c), the internal structure of the gravity center changing device 351 is visible, and in FIG. 15 (a), the case where the distributing device 340 is in the initial state (see FIG. 6) is shown. In FIG. 15 (b), the case where the distribution device 340 is in the change state (see FIG. 13) is illustrated, and in FIG. 15 (c), the state immediately before the distribution device 340 can return from the change state to the initial state. Is illustrated.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the second adjusting device 350, the pseudo gravity center ball GB moves inside the recessed groove portion 351b in accordance with the change in the posture. As a result, the position of the center of gravity of the second adjustment device 350 changes, and the second adjustment device 350 repeats stop and rotation.

  The operation of the second adjusting device 350 will be described. As shown in FIG. 15A, in the case where the sorting device 340 is in the initial state (see FIG. 6), the pseudo gravity center sphere GB is disposed on the right side of the central hole 345. A load is applied in the direction of rotating the second adjustment device 350 clockwise in a front view (clockwise in FIG. 15). Thereby, even if the gaming machine 10 (see FIG. 1) vibrates to some extent, the distributing device 340 can maintain the posture at the initial position.

  As shown in FIG. 15 (b), when the distribution device 340 is changed (see FIG. 13), the inclination formed by the partition wall 351c and the direction valve 351e is inclined downward to the left. The inclination of the decelerating wall portion 351d is inclined downward as it goes to the right. Therefore, the pseudo gravity center ball GB rolls on the upper side of the partition wall 351c and flows leftward along the arrow L1, drops to the decelerating wall 351d at the end, and rolls on the upper side of the decelerating wall 351d to the arrow L2 Flow to the right along the

  As a result, the pseudo gravity center sphere GB can be sent to the left of the center hole 345, so that the second adjustment device 350 is rotated counterclockwise (FIG. 15 counterclockwise) by the weight of the pseudo gravity center sphere GB. Load is given in the direction. Accordingly, it is possible to maintain the distribution device 340 in a constant state (a period until the pseudo gravity center ball GB passes to the right of the center hole 345) in a changing state.

  The period during which the change state is maintained can be arbitrarily changed according to the degree to which the pseudo gravity center ball GB is decelerated by the deceleration wall portion 351d. For example, if the flow-down speed of the pseudo gravity center ball GB is halved by the decelerating wall portion 351 d, the period for maintaining the distributing device 340 in a changed state can be doubled.

  In addition, various aspects are illustrated as an aspect of the deceleration wall 351d. For example, there is exemplified a method of reducing the translational movement speed of the pseudo gravity center ball GB by reducing the rotation radius of the point where the pseudo gravity center ball GB contacts the deceleration wall 351 d (see FIG. 12D). That is, by receiving the rotation of the pseudo gravity center ball GB not at the maximum diameter portion (central portion) but at the portion with a small diameter (near the end portion), the translational movement distance around one rotation of the pseudo gravity center ball GB It is a method of shortening the speed of the artificial gravity center ball GB without shortening the rotational speed. According to this method, it is possible to increase the translational velocity of the pseudo gravity center sphere GB after passing through the decelerating wall portion 351d, as compared with the case where the rotation speed of the pseudo gravity center sphere GB is reduced.

  Therefore, immediately after reaching the right end of the deceleration wall 351 d, the pseudo gravity center sphere GB can be thrown to the right at a high speed, and immediately after the pseudo gravity center sphere GB reaches the right end of the deceleration wall 351 d, FIG. The period until the state change to the state shown in (c) can be shortened.

  As shown in FIG. 15C, the pseudo gravity center sphere GB passes through the direction valve 351 e before and after the distribution device 340 changes from the change state to the initial state. As shown in FIG. 15C, the directional valve 351e allows the pseudo gravity center sphere GB to flow to the right while preventing the pseudo gravity center sphere GB from flowing to the left. As a result, it is possible to prevent the pseudo center of gravity ball GB from bouncing back to the left of the central hole 345.

  In this embodiment, the period from when the sorting device 340 changes to the change state until the state returns to the initial state is a change period that is easy to be selected when the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 (see FIG. 2) is four. It is set to a period longer than (minimum fluctuation period).

  Therefore, when the ball enters the sorting device when the sorting device 340 is in the initial state and the ball enters the detection opening 312d (see FIG. 6), the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 becomes four. The ball that has entered the distribution device 340 before the change that starts thereafter is over (before the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 can be vacated) is distributed to the third groove 313 (see FIG. 13) without omission. Then, while the ball passes the third groove 313, the variation of 1 at the winning opening 64 ends, and the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 becomes vacant, so that the winning opening 64 overflows (the number of holding balls is maximum) By entering the ball into the detection port 312d, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a state where the opportunity for lottery can not be obtained despite the fact that the ball enters the ball.

  The degree of deceleration of the ball in the third groove 313 can be set by various methods. For example, the ball may be decelerated by attaching a high friction sheet to the bottom wall on which the ball rolls.

  Here, as a first setting example, a period until the ball passes and divides the third groove 313 is, for example, a fluctuation period (shortest fluctuation period) which is easy to be selected when the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 is four. By setting a longer period, when two balls enter the distribution device 340 in a row, the first ball enters the detection port 312d and then the second ball is the third groove The period from passing 313 to entering the detection port 312d can be made longer than the fluctuation period (shortest fluctuation period) that is likely to be selected when the number of balls held by the winning opening 64 is four. Thus, the occurrence of an overflow at the winning opening 64 can be suppressed.

  In addition, as a second setting example, the period until the ball passes and divides the third groove 313 is, for example, a fluctuation period that is easily selected when the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 is three, and the number of holding balls is four. By setting the period longer than the combined period of the fluctuation period (the shortest fluctuation period) that is likely to be selected in the case of one, even when two spheres are continuously entered in the third groove 313, one Since two variations are digested in a period from when the eye ball enters the detection port 312d to when the second ball passes the third groove 313 and enters the detection port 312d, Even if two spheres enter the detection port 312d, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of the overflow.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 16, the function disc device 332 b will be described. In the functional disc device 332b, the position of the center of gravity of the functional disc device 332b changes in the same manner as the second adjustment device 350 by moving the pseudo gravity center ball GB disposed between the functional disc device 332 (see FIG. 7). It is a device in which the direction of the load given to 332 b changes.

  16 (a) to 16 (d) are cross-sectional views of the functional disc device 332b in which the functional disc device 332b is sectioned in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis. 16A shows the case where the reduction gear 320 is in the initial state (see FIG. 6), and FIG. 16B shows the state immediately after the reduction gear 320 changes from the initial state to the intermediate state (see FIG. 13). 16 (c) shows the state immediately after the reduction gear 320 changes from the intermediate state to the rising state (see FIG. 14), and FIG. 16 (d) shows the reduction gear 320 from the intermediate state to the initial state. The state immediately after the state change is illustrated.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the functional disk device 332 b is a partition that divides the recessed groove portion 332 b 1 recessed from the back side by a depth to which the pseudo gravity center ball GB can move, and a portion that limits the passage of the ball A ball is disposed as a rollable plate below the wall 332b2 and its partition wall 332b2 and is formed to project a predetermined width from the end of the partition wall 332b2 and to slow down the flow of the pseudo gravity center ball GB A first deceleration wall 332b3, a second deceleration wall 332b4 disposed on the opposite side of the partition 332b2 with the first deceleration wall 332b3 interposed therebetween, and slowing down the flow of the pseudo gravity center ball GB, and the pseudo gravity center ball GB And a directional valve 332 b 5 that restricts the passage of the valve in one direction from left to right.

  In addition, as the pseudo gravity center sphere GB, for convenience, the same code as the pseudo gravity center sphere GB housed in the second adjustment device 350 is used, and the shape and weight of the pseudo gravity center sphere GB are limited to the same. It is not the purpose.

  The functional disk device 332b can also cause the pseudo gravity center ball GB to flow down the first reduction wall portion 332b3 and pass the directional valve 332b5, and can also allow the second reduction wall portion 332b4 to flow the directional valve 332b5. . The operation of the functional disk device 332b will be described in detail below. Note that FIG. 6, FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 will be referred to as appropriate.

  As shown in FIG. 16A, when the reduction gear 3420 is in the initial state (see FIG. 6), the partition plate 332b is inclined downward to the right, and the pseudo gravity center sphere GB is a functional disk device Maintained on the right side of 332b. Thus, the load for maintaining the slide moving member 321 downward is applied from the rotation biasing device 332 to the slide moving member 321 (see FIG. 6). Therefore, when the gaming machine 10 (see FIG. 1) vibrates, it is possible to suppress the slide moving member 321 from moving up and down.

  As shown in FIG. 16B, when the reduction gear 3420 is in the intermediate state (see FIG. 13), the partition plate 332b2 is inclined downward to the left while the first reduction wall portion 332b3 is It is considered to be a mode in which it slopes downward to the right. Therefore, the pseudo gravity center sphere GB rolls the upper surface of the partition plate 332b2 leftward along the arrow L3, and then rolls the upper surface of the first reduction wall 332b3 rightward along the arrow L4. The center of gravity ball GB is sent to the right of the rotation center of the functional disc device 332b, and a load is applied in the direction of returning the functional disc device 332b to the initial state (the direction of rotating clockwise in FIG. 16).

  While the pseudo gravity center ball GB is disposed on the left side of the rotation center as shown in FIG. 16 (b) in the middle of the flow of the pseudo gravity center ball GB, the disk unit 332b is counterclockwise in FIG. Since the load is applied in the direction of rotation, it is possible to stop the lowering of the slide moving member 321 due to gravity. In addition, it is possible to suppress that the slide moving member 321 is lowered by the weight of the ball (even if it is lowered, it is possible to form a state in which the ball moves up as soon as the ball comes back).

  As shown in FIG. 16C, when the reduction gear 3420 is in the raised state (see FIG. 14), the first reduction wall portion 332b3 is inclined downward to the left while the second reduction wall is formed. The portion 332 b 4 is inclined downward to the right. Therefore, the pseudo gravity center ball GB rolls the upper surface of the first reduction wall 332b3 leftward along the arrow L5, and then rolls the upper surface of the second reduction wall 332b4 right along the arrow L6. As a result, the pseudo gravity center ball GB is sent to the right of the rotation center of the functional disc device 332b, and a load is applied in the direction to return the functional disc device 332b to the initial state (clockwise direction in FIG. 16).

  When the pseudo gravity center ball GB is rolling on the upper surface of the first reduction wall portion 332b3, the ball passes through the main passage 311a and the reduction gear 320 moves to the rising state and the functional disk device 332b is as shown in FIG. In the case of the posture shown in, the pseudo gravity center ball GB is thereafter decelerated by the first reduction wall portion 332b3 and further decelerated by the second reduction wall portion 332b4, so the reduction gear 320 is in the intermediate state As compared with the case (see FIG. 13), the period until the pseudo gravity center sphere GB is disposed to the right of the rotation center is lengthened. Therefore, the reduction gear 320 can be maintained in the raised state (see FIG. 14) for a long time as compared with the period in which the intermediate state (see FIG. 13) is maintained.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (d), when the pseudo gravity center ball GB disposed on the first reduction wall portion 332b3 or the second reduction wall portion 332b4 is disposed to the right of the center of the functional circle device 332b, the slide moving member The weight of 321 operates the reduction gear 320 to make the functional disk device 332b the same posture as the initial state, and the pseudo gravity center ball GB is discharged from the first reduction wall 332b3 or the second reduction wall 332b4 and is a recessed groove Roll 332b1. When the pseudo gravity center ball GB passes through the direction valve 332 b 5, the functional disk device 332 b returns to the initial state (see FIG. 16A).

  The flow-down pattern of the ball flowing down the inside of the delay device 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18. 17 (a), 17 (b), 18 (a) and 18 (b) are partial front views of the delay device 300. FIG. In FIGS. 17A, 17B, 18A, and 18B, the case where three balls P1 to P3 are entered in a row from the winning opening 64 is illustrated. In a), the state in which the balls P1 to P3 are disposed in front of the wind turbine member 322 is illustrated, and in FIG. 18 (b), the ball P1 and the ball P2 are separated into the second extending wings 322c of the wind turbine member 322 18C shows the state in which the ball P2 pushes the second extension wing 322c and reaches the distribution device 340. In FIG. 18D, the ball P3 is the third one. A state in which the two grooves 312 begin to enter is illustrated.

  17 (a), 17 (b), 18 (a) and 18 (b), the balls P1 to P3 enter the winning opening 64 in the space at the lower right of the structural drawing. The graph which shows the condition of is illustrated. In addition, although the timing at which the balls P1 to P3 enter the winning opening 64 actually deviates slightly (about 0.2 seconds), the graphs show that the balls P1 to P3 have a prize in order to facilitate understanding. It is illustrated as having entered into the mouth 64 simultaneously, and the horizontal axis is configured as an elapsed time T.

  In the graph, the timing ("IN") at which the balls P1 to P3 enter the winning opening 64 and the timing ("OUT") at which the balls enter the detection opening 312d are illustrated, and the balls P1 to P3 are Which section is to be flowed down is illustrated by a code. In addition, with regard to which timing of the graph the states shown in FIG. 17A, FIG. 17B, FIG. 18A and FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 17A, until the wind turbine member 322 is reached, the balls P1 to P3 flow down the first groove 311 under the same conditions, and there is no difference in the speed.

  As shown in FIG. 17B, the first ball P1 pushes the first extended wing 322b of the wind turbine member 322, and the second ball P2 is separated from the second extended wing 322c. The leading ball P1 flows downward without being decelerated to the convex portion 321a1, while the convex portion 321a1 protrudes to the inside of the main passage 311a on the downstream side of the ball P2. Therefore, when the ball P2 and the ball P3 contact the convex portion 321a1, they are intermittently given a load in the direction opposite to the flow-down direction, and decelerated. Thereby, since the space between the ball P1 and the ball P2 can be opened, for example, it is prevented that the ball is clogged by entering two balls at the same time into the distributing device 340 and the malfunction is generated. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, the first groove passage first period required for the ball P1 to pass through the first groove 311 is 2 seconds (T11 = 2s), and after the ball P1 passes, the reduction gear 320 The deceleration return first start period, which is the period from the intermediate state to the start of return to the initial state, is 5 seconds, and the reduction gear is set to return to the initial state one second after the start of return.

  In addition, the second period T2 which is a period from the ball P1 entering the second groove 312 to the ball entering the detection opening 312d is 1.5 seconds (T2 = 1.5 s). Note that the second period T2 is the first half of the second period T2a (T2a = 1s), which is one second before reaching the distribution device 340, and the second half of the second period, which is 0.5 seconds after passing the distribution device 340. It is divided into T2b (T2b = 0.5 s), and regardless of the state of the distribution device 340, the period in which the ball passes through the second groove 312 is invariable.

  As shown in FIG. 18 (a), when the second ball P2 pushes on the second extending wing 322c of the wind turbine member 322, the preceding ball P2 flows into the second groove while the ball P3 is The liquid flows into the back side recess 311 e along the inclined surface 321 b 2 of the slide moving member 321. Thereby, in addition to being decelerated by the convex portion 321a1, the flow-down path of the ball P3 is extended by an amount corresponding to passing through the back side concave portion 311e, so the space between the ball P2 and the ball P3 can be spaced.

  In the present embodiment, the first groove passage second period T12 required for the ball P2 to pass through the first groove 311 is 3 seconds (T12 = 3s), and the ball P3 passes through the first groove 311. The first groove passage third period T13 required for the above is 6 seconds (T13 = 6s). In addition, the deceleration return second start period, which is the period from when the ball P2 passes through to when the reduction gear 320 starts to return to the initial state (from the rising state), is 7 seconds. It is set to return to the initial state.

  Further, since the ball P2 is in contact with the arc wall portion 343 of the distribution device 340 and flows into the third groove 313, the path to the detection port 312d is extended compared to the ball P1. Thus, the distance between the sphere P1 and the sphere P2 can be increased.

  In the present embodiment, the third period T3 required for the balls P2 and P3 to pass through the third groove 313 is 3 seconds (T3 = 3s). Further, the speed of the pseudo gravity center sphere GB of the second adjustment device 350 is in a mode in which the distribution maintaining period BT1 which is a period from the state change of the distribution device 340 to the change state to the start of recovery to the initial state is 4 seconds. It is set (BT1 = 4s).

  As shown in FIG. 18 (b), when the reduction gear 320 is in the raised state, the distance between the end of the first overhanging plate portion 321a and the abutment wall 312a is approximately the same as the diameter of the ball. Be done. Therefore, the balls P2 and P3 are strongly resisted when passing between the end of the first overhanging plate portion 321a and the abutment wall 312a, and the momentum is dropped. Thus, the distance between the sphere P1 and the spheres P2 and P3 can be increased.

  As shown in FIG. 18B, the ball P2 flows down the third groove 313 and presses the first wall portion 341 against the receiving wall portion 312c to make it easy to maintain the distributing device 340 in a changed state. it can.

  As shown in the graph, the distribution device 340 is maintained in the change state also at the timing when the sphere P3 flows into the distribution device 340 (at the timing when only the distribution maintenance period BT1 has elapsed since the distribution device 340 changed into the change state. The ball P3 reaches the distribution device 340). Therefore, the ball P3 flows into the third groove 313. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the distance between the sphere P2 and the sphere P3 from being reduced.

  As shown in the graph, according to the present embodiment, when the balls P1 to P3 enter the winning opening 64 in a row, the balls P1 and P2 enter the detection opening 312d at an interval of 4 seconds, and the ball P2 And the ball P3 enter at intervals of 3 seconds. In the present embodiment, since the fluctuation period of 1 selected after the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 becomes maximum is set to 3 seconds, in the case of FIG. 17 and FIG. Can be prevented.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the period during which the distribution device 340 is maintained in the changing state is one fluctuation period selected after the number of balls held by the winning opening 64 becomes maximum when the ball flows into the detection opening 312d. Since the period is longer than the period, as shown in FIG. 18A, when the ball P2 enters the distributing device 340 during the fluctuation period, the ball P2 is reliably made to flow into the third groove 313. be able to. Thereby, when a ball enters the distribution device 340 continuously, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of an overflow.

  Therefore, even when three balls P1 to P3 enter the winning opening 64 in a row, it is possible to shift the timing at which they enter the detection opening 312d and to suppress the occurrence of an overflow at the winning opening 64. Can. As a result, even if the player does not pay special attention, it is possible to avoid a situation where a lottery can not be received even though the ball enters the winning opening 64, and the game can be performed comfortably.

  In the present embodiment, when another ball enters the winning opening 64 in a row behind the ball P3 (when four balls enter in a row), the fourth ball and the ball P3 The timing of entering the detection port 312d can not be shifted. Therefore, it is desirable to recommend a stop shot so as not to play a game in which even four balls enter the winning opening 64 when the number of balls held by the winning opening 64 is three.

  In addition, as shown in the graph, when the balls P1 to P3 enter the winning opening 64 continuously, for example, the ball P3 is spaced at least one second after entering the winning opening 64 of the ball P1. When the ball P3 reaches the distributing device 340 when entering the ball 64, the distributing device 340 is returned to the initial state, so the ball P3 flows down the second groove 312 in the vertical direction and the detection port 312d Enter the ball. In this case, the delay period of the ball P3 is not sufficient, and the overflow at the winning opening 64 can not be suppressed.

  Therefore, the effect that overflow is suppressed when the third ball enters the winning opening 64 is limited condition (the ball P1 enters the ball after the ball P1 and the ball P2 continuously enter the winning opening 64) The player can play only in a situation where the ball P3 enters the winning opening 64 within one second from 1 If you forget to stop hitting the ball with the number of balls being 3), you can fortunately create a situation where no overflow occurs in the winning opening 64 if the situation is aligned.

  Thus, it is possible to achieve a clear difference in the number of lottery opportunities for the number of balls entered into the winning opening 64 between the player who does the stop and the player who does not perform the stop. In a rare situation in which three balls enter the winning opening 64 continuously when the holding ball number of the opening 64 is 3, in the rare situation, the overflow at the winning opening 64 does not occur even for the third ball P3 The conditions can be tightened (the pitching interval is limited), and valuables can be produced when overflow does not occur.

  As a result, since the player who performs the strike can perform the strike more carefully (because it is possible to stop the launch at an early stage by paying attention to the number of holding balls), a lottery opportunity The operation of the handle 51 (see FIG. 1) for acquiring more can be performed with enthusiasm, and the player's interest can be improved.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20, the case where the balls P4 and P5 enter the delay device 300 at an interval will be described. 19 (a), 19 (b) and 20 are partial front views of the delay device 300. FIG. FIG. 19 (a) shows a state in which the ball P4 has reached the wind turbine member 322 when the reduction gear 320 is in the initial state, and in FIG. 19 (b), the reduction gear 320 is in an intermediate state, and the distribution device 340 is The figure shows a case where the ball P5 enters the winning opening 64 0.5 seconds after the ball P4 enters the detection opening 312d (4 seconds after the ball P4 enters the ball), which is in a changed state. At 20, the state immediately before the ball P5 enters the distribution device 340 is illustrated. 19 (a), 19 (b) and 20, a graph showing the situation after the balls P4 and P5 enter the winning opening 64 in the space at the lower right of the structural drawing has a horizontal axis. It is illustrated as an elapsed time T.

  In the graph, the timing ("IN") at which the balls P4 and P5 enter the winning opening 64 and the timing ("OUT") at which the ball enters the detection opening 312d are illustrated. It is illustrated with a code whether it flows down the section. Further, which timing of the graph the states shown in FIGS. 19A, 19B, and 20 represent is illustrated by triangle marks in the corresponding drawings.

  In the state shown in FIG. 20, the ball P5 does not enter the third groove 313, but flows down the second groove 312 vertically downward and enters the detection port 312d. Here, if the ball P5 enters the detection opening 312d before the fluctuation immediately after the ball P4 enters the detection opening 312d, an overflow may occur.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first groove passage second period T12 required for the ball P5 to pass through the reduction gear 320 in the intermediate state, the period of fluctuation when the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 is four (3 The second groove is set to be longer than the second) (the first groove passage second period T12 is set to 3 seconds). In this case, even if the ball P5 does not flow into the third groove 313 (downflow in the second groove 312 in the vertical direction), the variation is finished before the ball P5 passes over the slide moving member 321. Overflow can be prevented from occurring at the winning opening 64. In this case, since the ball P5 does not flow down the third groove 313, the timing of the lottery by the ball P5 can be advanced, and the player can be prevented from being bored.

  In addition, since the distribution maintaining period BT1 from the state change of the distributing device 340 to the start to return to the initial state is 4 seconds, it takes 3 seconds after the ball P4 enters the winning opening 64 (pricing opening It is possible to reliably cause the ball, which has entered in the period of fluctuation when the number of retained balls of 64 is four, to enter the third groove 313. In addition, since it is possible to cause the ball to enter the third groove 313 until just before the sorting device 340 returns to the initial state thereafter, it takes less than 4 seconds after the ball P4 enters the winning opening 64. The sphered ball can be reliably entered into the third groove 313. Thus, even when the balls P4 and P5 enter the winning opening 64 at an interval of 3 seconds or less, the occurrence of an overflow at the winning opening 64 can be prevented.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 21, the case where the ball enters the distribution device 340 continuously will be described. In the present embodiment, for example, when the reduction gear 320 is in the raised state (see FIG. 14), two additional balls enter the winning opening 64 continuously (for example, as shown in FIG. After the balls P1 and P2 shown in a) enter the ball and the ball P2 enters the second groove 312, two balls are continuously generated and enter the winning opening 64). 21 (a) to 21 (c) are partial front views of the delay device 300. FIG. FIG. 21 (a) shows a state in which the distribution device 340 is in the initial state and the ball P6 enters the distribution device 340, and in FIG. 21 (b), the distribution device 340 is rotated by the weight of the ball P6 A state in which P 7 is pushed out is illustrated, and in FIG. 21C, a state in which the ball P 6 flows down the second groove 312 and the ball P 7 flows down the third groove 313 is illustrated.

  As shown to Fig.21 (a), the distribution apparatus 340 is provided with the space which can accommodate only one ball between the 1st wall part 341 and the 2nd wall part 342. As shown in FIG. Therefore, when two balls in a row reach the distribution device 340, the first ball P6 is accommodated in the distribution device 340, but the second ball P7 remains without being accommodated. Therefore, only the sphere P6 can flow down to the detection port 312d alone.

  The tip convex portion 342a disposed at the tip of the second wall 342 of the sorting device 340 has the ball P7 to the inlet of the third groove 313 in a posture in which the ball P7 is left outside (see FIG. 21B). It is formed in a manner to push it out (the inlet of the third groove 313 is formed at a position facing the tip convex portion 342 a). Therefore, the ball P7 can be pushed out to the back side of the third groove 313, and the ball P7 can be prevented from staying near the entrance of the third groove 313. Thereby, for example, even when setting is made in a mode in which the sorting device 340 immediately returns to the initial state from the change state, the ball P7 is prevented from entering the sorting device 340 (not pushed well into the third groove 313). be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 21C, the sphere P6 enters the detection port 312d at the border of the distribution device 340, and the sphere P7 falls into the detection port 312d after flowing down the third groove 313. Here, as described above, the third period T3 in which the ball P7 flows down the third groove 313 is set to 3 seconds, and the period is selected after the number of balls held by the winning opening 64 is maximized. Since the variation period of 1 (3 seconds) or more, the ball P7 enters the detection opening 312d even if the ball P6 enters the detection opening 312d when the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 is three. Around 1 the change ends. Therefore, when the ball P7 enters the detection opening 312d, the occurrence of an overflow at the winning opening 64 can be suppressed.

  In this embodiment, when another ball enters the detection opening 312d within 3 seconds after the ball P7 enters the detection opening 312d, an overflow at the winning opening 64 is generated for the ball. Ru. Thus, while it is possible to suppress the overflow if the number of balls entering the ball in a short period is two, it is possible to configure a flow path in which the overflow occurs when the number of balls entering the ball in the short period is three. Therefore, it is possible to make the player carefully think about the firing strength of the ball and the firing frequency of the ball in order to obtain more chances of drawing at the winning opening 64, and the game characteristics regarding the mode of firing the ball are improved. It can be done.

  In addition, since the distribution device 340 rotates from the initial state to the change state only with the weight of the sphere, the sphere P6 and the sphere P7 are disposed between the side wall portion 312e and the tip convex portion 342a, It is possible to solve the problem that occurs only when the distribution device 340 operates electrically, such as the distribution device 340 operates and ball clogging occurs.

  In the present embodiment, in the state of FIG. 21C, for example, the ball reaches the distributing device 340 at the timing when the distributing device 340 returns to the initial state within one second after arrival, and the next ball is further distributed If it reaches the sorting device 340 one second after returning to the initial state 340, there is a possibility that the ball arriving first and the ball arriving later may collide at the joining position of the first groove 311 and the third groove 313. In this case, two balls enter the detection port 312d at an interval of 3 seconds or less. Therefore, when the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 (see FIG. 20) is three while the previous ball passes the third groove 313, the overflow in the winning opening 64 can not be avoided.

  This is largely different from the case where two balls reach the distribution device 340 when the distribution device 340 is in the initial state. That is, when two balls reach the distributing device 340 at an interval of 2 seconds when the distributing device 340 is in the initial state, the subsequent balls are guided to the third groove 313, so that the balls enter the detection port 312d. The interval to be set can secure 3 seconds or more (see FIG. 21). On the other hand, if the ball reaches the distributing device 340 at intervals of 2 seconds when the distributing device 340 is in the changed state, the previous ball is guided to the third groove 313, and the latter ball vertically downwards the second groove 312. A flow may occur, and the interval at which the detection port 312d enters the ball may be shorter than 3 seconds.

  Thereby, when two balls enter the ball entrance 64 continuously, it is possible to configure a flow path which can not always suppress the overflow. Therefore, while having a mechanism capable of suppressing the overflow, basically, it is assumed that the maximum number of lottery can be obtained by playing a game of stopping when the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 reaches three. It can improve the meaning of hitting.

  The delayed floor device 400 will then be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 22 is a partial front perspective view of the game board 13. As shown in FIG. 22, in the delay bed device 400, a part of the balls flowing down the left side of the center frame 86 flows in (through a so-called “warp channel”), and the balls roll on the top A movable device configured to be capable of repeating a reciprocating operation and dropping a ball whose velocity in the left-right direction converges to zero to the front side, and is formed by a pair of front and rear and configured to be capable of tilting operation. A link member 420 (see FIG. 24) for matching the movement of the pair of fans 410, and a fixed floor which supports the fans 410 in a tiltable manner and through which the balls pass before flowing into the fans 410. A fixed floor 430 is mainly provided.

  In the initial state (see FIG. 22), the delay floor device 400 is configured in such a manner that the sphere can be easily converged to the center position in the left-right direction (the left and right peripheral portions of the fixed floor 430 incline downward toward the center position And the center position of the fan-shaped member 410 and the center position of the winning opening 64 are arranged in a vertical positional relationship. That is, the arrangement is such that the ball can be easily entered from the delay floor device 400 into the winning opening 64.

  Among the fan-shaped members 410 arranged in a pair in the front and rear, the front fan-shaped members 410 can be inclined in a manner of being inclined forward toward the front side so that the balls can easily enter the winning opening 64.

  The fan-shaped member 410 will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, since a pair of fan-shaped members 410 are comprised from the same member, description of one fan-shaped member 410 is given and description of the other fan-shaped member 410 is omitted.

  Fig.23 (a) is a top view of the fan-shaped member 410, FIG.23 (b) is a side view of the fan-shaped member 410 in the arrow XXIIIb direction view of Fig.23 (a), FIG.23 (c) is FIG. 23D is a cross-sectional view of the fan-shaped member 410 taken along line XXIIIc-XXIIIc of FIG. 23A, and FIG. 23D is a bottom view of the fan-shaped member 410 in the arrow XXIIId direction of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the fan-shaped member 410 includes a main body member 411 formed of a fan-like plate member, and an extending arm portion 412 coaxially extending in the left-right direction from an intermediate position of the main body member 411. A convex fixing portion 413 having a through hole through which the connecting rod 414 is fixedly inserted from the bottom of the main body member 411 and a connecting bar 414 inserted and fixed to the convex fixing portion 413; Prepare mainly.

  The tapered side (the lower side in FIG. 23A) of the body member 411 has a width about the diameter of a sphere. In addition, on the tapered side, it has a chamfered portion 411 a that slopes downward, and has an opening 411 b drilled between the convex fixing portions 413.

  The connecting rod 414 is configured as a separate member from the main body member 411. When assembling, after disposing the link member 420 (see FIG. 24) between the convex fixing portions 413, the connection rod 414 is inserted into the adjustment long hole 422 of the link member 420, 414 is fixed to the convex fixing portion 413. Thereby, the fan-shaped member 410 and the link member 420 can be connected (refer FIG. 25).

  Next, referring to FIG. 24, the link member 420 will be described. The link member 420 is a member that connects the pair of fan-shaped members 410 and has a role of defining the movement direction in a fixed manner.

  Fig.24 (a) is a side view of the link member 420, and FIG.24 (b) is a bottom view of the link member 420 in the arrow XXIVb direction view of Fig.24 (a). As shown in FIG. 24, the link member 420 has a main body member 421 formed of a plate-like member having a constant L-shaped cross section (see FIG. 24B), and a pair of front and rear in the upper part of the main body member 421. Mainly provided with an adjustment long hole 422 bored in the thickness direction and extending in the front-rear direction, and a support long hole 423 pierced in the thickness direction at the lower part of the main body member 421 and extending in the vertical direction .

  The adjustment long hole 422 is a hole through which the connecting rod 414 (see FIG. 23) of the fan-shaped member 410 is inserted. That is, the link member 420 and the pair of fan-shaped members 410 are connected via the adjustment long holes 422. The support elongated holes 423 are elongated holes through which the support convex portions 434 (see FIG. 26) of the fixed floor 430 are inserted, and act in such a manner as to designate the moving direction of the link member 420 in one direction (vertical direction).

  The fan-shaped member 410 and the link member 420 in the front assembly state will be described with reference to FIG. 25 (a) is a top view of the fan-shaped member 410 and the link member 420, and FIG. 25 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the fan-shaped member 410 and the link member 420 taken along line XXVb-XXVb in FIG. . Note that the front assembly state shown in FIG. 25 refers to the subassembly state prior to assembly to the fixed floor 430. In the manufacturing process, the fan-shaped member 410 and the link member 420 are assembled to the fixed floor 430 after configuring this pre-assembled state.

  In the front assembly state, the connecting rod 414 of the fan-like member 410 is fixed to the convex fixing portion 413 in a state of being inserted into the adjustment long hole 422 of the link member 420, thereby connecting the fan-like member 410 and the link member 420 to each other. Be done.

  As shown in FIG. 25, since the pair of fan-shaped members 410 are connected by the link member 420, when one fan-shaped member 410 operates, the operation is transmitted to the other fan-shaped member 410 via the link member 420. Configured in an aspect.

  Next, the fixed bed 430 will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 and 27. 26 is a top view of fixed bed 430, and FIG. 27 (a) is a cross-sectional view of fixed bed 430 taken along line XXVIIa-XXVIIa of FIG. 26, and FIG. 27 (b) is XXVIIb-XXVIIb of FIG. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of fixed bed 430 in a line. In FIGS. 26 and 27, the fan-shaped member 410 and the link member 420 are shown removed. Further, in FIG. 26, the support portion 432 is partially viewed in cross section.

  As shown in FIGS. 26, 27 (a) and 27 (b), the fixed floor 430 is provided with the fan-shaped member 410 in the assembled state (see FIG. 22), and the upper surface of the fan-shaped member 410 and the fixed floor 430 are provided. The portion between the rotation axes of the fan-shaped member 410 is recessed corresponding to the thickness of the fan-shaped member 410 so as to be formed in the surface position and the outer portion thereof is recessed in a manner not to interfere with the movement of the fan-shaped member 410 Recessed floor 431, a support portion 432 supporting the extending arm portion 412 of the fan-shaped member 410 when disposed on the recessed floor 431, and a vertical opening in the central portion of the recessed floor 431 A hollow portion 433 which is a hollow, a support convex portion 434 protruding in a lateral direction from a side wall forming the hollow portion 433 and a position deviated to the left or right from the position where the fan-shaped member 410 approaches closest in the assembled state. Sphere can flow An inlet 435 which is recessed in a size, a delay channel 436 balls flowing down communicated with from the inlet 435 mainly comprises a.

  The support portion 432 includes a support groove portion 432a having a groove shape for supporting the extending arm portion 412 of the fan-shaped member 410, and a support cover portion 432b which covers the support groove portion 432a from above and covers the support groove portion 432a.

  The hollow portion 433 is a hollow in which the link member 420 is accommodated, and the support convex portion 434 is a protrusion which is inserted into the support elongated hole 423 of the link member 420. When the link member 420 is assembled, the link member 420 is inserted into the gap between the hollow portion 433 and the tip of the support protrusion 434, and then the link member 420 is slid in the lateral direction to support the support protrusion. The portion 434 can be inserted into the support elongated hole 423.

  The inlet 435 is composed of a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the sphere. Therefore, in the case where the member is covered above the inflow port 435 in a manner of blocking a part of the inflow port 435, it is impossible for the ball to flow into the inflow port 435.

  The delay flow path 436 is a flow path for delaying the ball entering the winning opening 64 with respect to the ball directly entering the winning opening 64 from the fan-shaped member 410. For example, an overflow may occur in the winning opening 64 by making the time taken for the ball to pass through the delay channel 436 longer than the fluctuation period of 1 caused by the ball entering the winning opening 64 as a trigger. It can be suppressed.

  For example, by setting the time taken for the balls to pass through the delay flow path 436 to be longer than the fluctuation period which is easy to be selected when the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 is four, the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 is In three states, even if the second ball enters the inflow port 435 immediately after the first ball dropped from the fan-shaped member 410 enters the winning opening 64 directly, the two Since the change of 1 is completed by the time the ball of the eye enters the winning opening 64, the overflow of the winning opening 64 due to the second ball entering the winning opening 64 can be suppressed. it can.

  A method of assembling the fan-shaped member 410 and the link member 420 (see FIG. 25) to the fixed floor 430 will be described. First, the link member 420 of the fan-shaped member 410 and the link member 420 in the front assembled state is inserted into the hollow portion 433 and the support elongated hole 423 (see FIG. 25) is formed on the support convex portion 434 by the above method. After that, the extension arm 412 (refer to FIG. 25) of the fan-like member 410 is placed on the support groove 432a, and the fan-like member 410 is a support of the fixed floor 430 by inserting the support lid 432b from above. The link member 420 is supported so as to be tiltable at 432 and vertically movable (along the extending direction of the support elongated holes 423). Thereby, the fan-shaped member 410 and the link member 420 are assembled to the fixed floor 430, and the delay floor device 400 is configured.

  The state change of the delay floor device 400 will be described with reference to FIG. 28 (a) is a partial top view of the delay floor device 400, and FIG. 28 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the delay floor device 400 taken along line XXVIIIb-XXVIIIb of FIG. 28 (a). 28 is a partial top view of the delay bed device 400, and FIG. 28 (d) is a cross-sectional view of the delay bed device 400 taken along line XXVIIId-XXVIIId of FIG. 28 (c).

  In the initial state shown in FIGS. 28 (a) and 28 (b), the pair of fan-shaped members 410 are in a parallel posture, and in the tilted state shown in FIGS. 28 (c) and 28 (d), the fan-shaped members The posture 410 is inclined approximately 45 degrees from the initial state.

  Large differences between the initial state and the tilted state include whether or not a ball can enter the inflow port 435, and whether or not the ball can pass through an intermediate position between the pair of fan-shaped members 410. With regard to the former, in the initial state, a portion of the fan-shaped member 410 is covered on the upper portion of the inflow port 435, so that the ball is incapable of entering the inflow port 435. As the fan-shaped member 410 retreats from the upper portion of the inflow port 435 at (7), the ball can enter the inflow port 435 (as it is tilted to the retreat position).

  As for the latter, in the initial state, the fan-shaped member 410 is in a parallel posture, and the ball is configured to be able to pass through the upper part between the fan-shaped members 410, but in the tilted state, the fan-shaped member 410 is The balls that flow into the portion between the fan-shaped members 410 collide with the fan-shaped members 410 and are prevented from passing. In addition, since the inflow port 435 is disposed between the fan-shaped members 410 in the inclined state, the ball colliding with the fan-shaped member 410 does not bounce back (for example, when it vibrates in the vertical direction) stays in the upper portion of the inflow port 435 In this case, it is possible to drop the ball to the inflow port 435 as it is.

  With reference to FIG. 29, the operation mode of the delay floor device 400 according to the difference in the position when the ball falls from the fixed floor 430 to the front side will be described. Fig.29 (a) is a top view of the delay floor device 400, FIG.29 (b) is sectional drawing of the delay floor device 400 in the XXIXb-XXIXb line | wire of FIG. 29 (a), FIG.29 (c) FIG. 29D is a top view of the delay floor device 400, and FIG. 29D is a cross-sectional view of the delay floor device 400 taken along line XXIXd-XXIXd of FIG. 29C.

  As shown in FIGS. 29 (c) and 29 (d), in the delay floor device 400, the movement of the ball when the ball P11 previously riding on the delay floor device 400 falls on the front side of the fixed floor 430. Along (along with the weight of the ball), a fan 410 operates. Therefore, a drive source such as a motor for operating the delay floor device 400 can be eliminated.

  In FIG. 29A and FIG. 29B, the state in which the ball P11 is about to drop from the position away from the fan-shaped member 410 is illustrated, and in FIG. 29C and FIG. The state of falling from the central position of the member 410 to the front side of the fixed floor 430 is illustrated.

  Here, it is also possible to configure the delay floor device 400 to move each time the ball passes above the delay floor device 400, but in this case, the delay floor device 400 does not depend on the way of passing the ball. There is a risk that entry to the winning opening 64 may be unnecessarily delayed. In that case, the start of the change triggered by entering the winning opening 64 is delayed, which causes the player's dissatisfaction.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 29, the ball P11 falls on the front side of the fixed floor 430 from the state where the ball P11 rides on the fan-shaped member 410 which is a position where it easily enters the winning opening 64. When the delay floor device 400 is inclined in the lapping state, the ball P11 falls from a position away from the fan-shaped member 410, which is a position where the possibility of entering the winning opening 64 is low even if the ball P11 falls. The delayed floor device 400 is configured in such a way as to maintain its initial state. Therefore, the delay floor device 400 can be operated only when the falling ball P11 is likely to enter the winning opening 64.

  As a result, the delay floor device 400 acts only when it is not necessary, and it is possible to avoid unnecessary delay in entering the ball into the winning opening 64, so entering the winning opening 64 as a trigger. It is possible to avoid delaying the start of the fluctuation and to improve the player's interest.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (d), the chamfered portion 411a is formed at the tip of the fan-shaped member 410, whereby the tip of the fan-shaped member 410 is projected from the front of the game board 13 in the initial state, In the state, it can be configured in such a manner as to be drawn backward more than the front face of the game board 13. As a result, the ball can be dropped after rolling to a position where it is easy to drop the winning opening 64 (the front side of the front surface of the game board 13), so the ball dropped from the state of FIG. The probability of entering the winning opening 64 can be improved.

  With reference to FIG. 30, the relationship between the ball P11 riding on the delay floor device 400 and the ball P12 newly entered on the delay floor device 400 will be described. Fig.30 (a) is a top view of the delay floor device 400, FIG.30 (b) is sectional drawing of the delay floor device 400 in the XXXb-XXXb line | wire of FIG. 30 (a).

  In FIG. 30A and FIG. 30B, the ball P11 flows down to the front side of the fan-shaped member 410, and after the fan-shaped member 410 is inclined, the ball P12 is inserted from the left and right. Ru.

  A predetermined ball reaches the center of the floor portion arranged above the winning opening 64, and another ball rolls on the floor portion from the left and right direction at a timing that it is about to fall to the winning opening 64 and collides with the predetermined ball In some cases, a predetermined ball may come off the winning opening 64, causing a reduction in the player's interest.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 30, when the ball P21 rolls at timing when the ball P11 falls from the front side of the fan-shaped member 410, the delay floor device 400 is in a tilted state. The collision of the ball P12 with the fan-shaped member 410 can prevent the ball P11 from being collided with the ball P12.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 30A, the gap formed by the tip portions of the pair of fan-shaped members 410 is tapered in the traveling direction of the ball P12 (rightward in FIG. 30A). Therefore, even if the ball P12 rolls on a position slightly offset in the front-rear direction from the middle part of the pair of fan-shaped members 410 and collides with the fan-shaped member 410, the velocity direction of the ball P12 is paired along the tapered shape of the gap. It can be corrected in the direction towards the intermediate position of the sector 410 of the Therefore, the rolling path of the ball P12 can be limited, and collision between the ball P12 and the ball P11 can be easily avoided.

  Then, referring to FIG. 31, two balls P11 and P12 enter the delay floor device 400 at an interval, and the delay floor device 400 in a state in which the reciprocating motion is repeated and the velocity in the left-right direction converges to zero. The action of

  31 (a) is a top view of the delay floor device 400, and FIG. 31 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the delay floor device 400 along line XXXIb-XXXIb in FIG. 31 (a), and FIG. 31 (c) 31 (d) is a top view of the delay floor device 400, and FIG. 31 (d) is a cross-sectional view of the delay floor device 400 along line XXXId-XXXId in FIG. 31 (c).

  In FIGS. 31 (a) and 31 (b), the delay floor device 400 is in the initial state, and the ball P11 is on the near fan 410 and the ball P12 is on the far fan 410. 31 (c) and 31 (d), the ball P11 flows downward to the front side from the state shown in FIGS. 31 (a) and 31 (b), and the delay floor device 400 is inclined. .

  As shown in FIGS. 31 (a) to 31 (d), the ball P12 on the fan-shaped member 410 on the back side flows down from the fan-shaped member 410 on the near side and the delay floor device 400 is in an inclined state. As a result, along the inclination of the fan-shaped member 410 on the back side, it is pushed back in the back direction (the right direction in FIG. 31B).

  Thereafter, the ball P11 falls, and the delay floor device 400 returns to the initial state, so that the ball P12 is again allowed to roll over the delay floor device 400 to the upper side of the front fan 410. . That is, compared with the case where the ball P11 and the ball P12 enter the winning opening 64 continuously from the state shown in FIG. 31 (a), the ball P12 is pushed back by an amount equal to that of the ball P11 and the ball P12. It can be spaced apart. As a result, when the ball P11 and the ball P12 enter the winning opening 64, an occurrence of an overflow at the winning opening 64 can be suppressed.

  Next, referring to FIG. 32, two balls P11 and P12 enter the delay floor device 400 and repeat the reciprocating operation, respectively, and in the state in which the speed in the left and right direction converges to 0, the balls P11 and P12 move in the front and back direction The operation of the delay bed device 400 when arranged in series will be described.

  32 (a) is a top view of the delay floor device 400, and FIG. 32 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the delay floor device 400 taken along line XXXIIb-XXXIIb of FIG. 32 (a), and FIG. 32 is a top view of the delay floor device 400, and FIG. 32 (d) is a front view of the delay floor device 400 in the direction of the arrow XXXIId of FIG. 32 (c).

  As shown in FIGS. 32 (a) and 32 (b), when two balls P11 and P12 are arranged in series, the ball P11 is on the front side of the extending arm portion 412 of the fan-shaped member 410 on the front side ( In the state of being disposed on the left side of FIG. 32 (b), the sphere P12 is disposed in the vicinity of the intermediate position of the pair of front and rear fan-shaped members 410 (see FIG. 32 (b)).

  In this state, when the ball P11 falls from the front side of the delay floor device 400 and the delay floor device 400 is in a tilted state, the ball P12 is moved to the tip of the fan-like member 410 when it rises Can be lifted. In the present embodiment, since the tip end portion of the fan-shaped member 410 has an arc shape, the tip end portion of the fan-shaped member 410 supporting the ball P12 inclines downward toward the outer side in the lateral direction in the inclined state (FIG. 32 (d)) reference). Therefore, the ball P12 does not continue to be maintained at the left and right center of the fan-shaped member 410, but flows down to the left and right outside along the shape of the tip portion of the fan-shaped member 410. Thereby, the ball P12 flows from the fan-shaped member 410 into the inlet 435. Therefore, it can be prevented that the ball P12 continues to the ball P11 and enters the winning opening 64.

  FIGS. 33 (a) and 33 (b) are cross-sectional views of the delay floor device 400 taken along line XXXIIIa-XXXIIIa of FIG. 32 (c). In FIG. 33 (a), the state in which the balls P11 and P12 are flowing downward from the state shown in FIG. 32 (c) is further changed from the state shown in FIG. 33 (a) to the ball P11, A state in which the ball P12 flows down and the ball P11 enters the winning opening 64 is illustrated respectively.

  As shown in FIGS. 33 (a) and 33 (b), when the balls P11 and P12 flow down one after the other on the delay floor device 400, the ball P11 falls on the front side of the game board 13, and the ball P12 is delayed. The flow path 436 flows down. That is, since the flow-down path of the two balls P11 and P12 is separated, and the delay floor device 400 is constituted by a long flow path, the timing at which the two balls P11 and P12 win in the winning opening 64 is shifted. Can.

  Therefore, for example, even if the information is acquired immediately after entering the winning opening 64 and the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 2) starts to change, an overflow occurs in the winning opening 64. Can be suppressed.

  That is, from the position of the ball P12 shown in FIG. 33 (b), the number of holding balls in the winning opening 64 is four in the period until the ball P12 flows down to the winning opening 64 after flowing down the remaining portion of the delay passage 436. By setting the period longer than the fluctuation period (the shortest fluctuation period) which is likely to be selected in the case of the case, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of the overflow in the winning opening 64.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the first embodiment, the case where the distributing device 340 changes the posture only by the movement of the center of gravity has been described, but in the delay device 2300 in the second embodiment, the locking device 2315 disposed in the main body member 2310 is a long hole. It is supported by 2316 and configured to maintain the attitude of the distribution device 2340. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part same as each embodiment mentioned above, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIGS. 34 (a) to 34 (c) are partial front views of the delay device 2300 in the second embodiment. In FIG. 34 (a), a state in which the ball P21 and the ball P22 are continuously reached to the distributing device 2340 in the initial state is illustrated, and in FIG. 34 (b), the distributing device 2340 is changed by the weight of the ball P21. 34C, the ball P22 releases the locking by the locking device 2315, and the distributing device 2340 is in the initial state. A state in which the movement is started is illustrated. In the present embodiment, the second adjustment device 350 is not disposed in the distribution device 2340, and the distribution device 2340 is biased toward the initial state by a spring mechanism (not shown).

  The distribution device 2340 is configured such that the first wall 2341 is about half the length of the second wall 342. As a result, the collision of the ball P22 flowing down from the third groove 313 and the first wall portion 2341 can be suppressed, and the return operation of the sorting device 2340 can be prevented from being disturbed by the ball P22.

  As shown in FIG. 34 (a), the locking device 2315 has a length extending in the left-right direction at the lower end portion of the side wall portion 312e at the wall portion on the back side of the main body member 2310 (the back side in FIG. A weir member 2315a slidably supported in the lateral direction in the long hole 2316, which is a hole, and rotatably supported, and a torsion spring 2315b generating an elastic force for urging the weir member 2315a clockwise in a right direction and a front view. And. In the present embodiment, a space is formed in the lower end portion of the side wall portion 312e, and the wedge member 2315a is configured to be able to pass through the space.

  The wedge member 2315a has a shaft 2315a1 supported by a long hole 2316 extending along the left-right direction in a wall formed between the third grooves 313 extending in a pair at the top and bottom, and its shaft 2315a1 And a contact portion 2315a2 which is formed to project right above (the upper right in FIG. 34) the shaft portion 2315a1 through the side wall portion 312e, and is integrally formed with the shaft portion 2315a1 and And a release portion 2315 a 3 that is configured to protrude inward of the third groove 313 on the side.

  The contact portion 2315 a 2 is disposed at a position that interferes with the movement trajectory of the tip convex portion 342 a of the distribution device 2340. The shape of the contact portion 2315a2 is such that the upper surface portion is steeply lowered as it goes to the right, and the lower surface portion is shaped along the left-right direction (surface contact with the tip convex portion 342a). When the state changes from the initial state to the change state, the resistance applied to the distribution device 2340 can be suppressed and its moving speed can be improved, while when the distribution device 2340 changes the state from the change state to the initial state The distribution device 2340 can be easily locked in a changed state by increasing the resistance applied to the distribution device 2340.

  In addition, since the shaft portion 2315a1 is configured to be slidable in the left and right direction along the long hole 2316, the wedge member 2315a is in the state immediately before the distribution device 2340 is changed (immediately before FIG. 34 (b)). You can escape to the left. As a result, compared to the case where the wedge member 2315a is pivotally supported, the sorting device 2340 can collide with the locking device 2315 and be engaged, thereby preventing malfunction.

  The torsion spring 2315b has a torsion portion wound around the shaft 2315a1 and one end (the end on the left side of FIG. 34 (a)) locked to the main body member 2310 and the other end (FIG. 34 (a)). And the like) is configured in such a manner that the right end) is locked to the wedge member 2315a.

  As shown in FIG. 34 (b), when the weight of the ball P21 causes the distributing device 2340 to change, the tip convex portion 342a is locked to the contact portion 2315a2. As a result, the distribution device 2340 is maintained in a changed state. In this embodiment, as long as the locking device 2315 does not change its posture, the distributing device 2340 maintains the changed state.

  As shown in FIG. 34C, the ball P22 flowing down the third groove 313 abuts on the release portion 2315a, so that the posture of the wedge member 2315a changes counterclockwise in a front view, the sorting device 2340 by the wedge member 2315a. (The contact portion 2315a2 is disposed outside the movement trajectory of the distribution device 2340), and the distribution device 2340 can be returned to the initial state.

  According to this, in a state where the urging force in the clockwise direction in a front view is always applied to the distributing device 2340, a time delay from the state change of the distributing device 2340 to the change state to the start of movement toward the initial state is formed. can do. Therefore, the balls P21 and P22 can be reliably distributed to the separate flow paths with a simple configuration.

  Although FIG. 34 describes the case where the balls P21 and P22 flow downward in a row, in light of the fact that the release of the locking device 2315a is caused by the flow of the ball P22, the effect of the present embodiment is as follows. It does not depend on the arrival interval to the distribution device 2340 of

  As mentioned above, although the present invention was explained based on the above-mentioned embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned form at all, It is easy to be able to carry out various modification improvement in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of the present invention. It can be guessed.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, part or all of the configuration in one embodiment may be combined with or replaced with the configuration of part or all of the configuration in another embodiment to provide another embodiment.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the convex portion 321a1 is provided on the slide moving member 321 so as to protrude to the inside of the first groove 311 has been described, but this is not necessarily the case. For example, a mode in which a pair of wall portions constituting an S-shaped path is disposed on the slide moving member 321, and the S-shaped path in which a ball flows down into the first groove 311 is produced by moving the slide moving member 321. It may be composed of In this case, since the path in which the ball flows can be made longer by the pair of wall portions, the decelerating effect can be continued for a long period of time as compared with the convex portion 321a1 reducing the decelerating effect due to wear. . In addition, the slide moving member 321 may be configured in a mode in which the area where the convex portion 321a1 is formed and the area where the S-shaped path is formed are connected.

  In the first embodiment, even in the case where the balls P1 and P2 enter the distributing device 340 in the initial state in a row and enter, the balls P1 and P2 are configured to be able to be distributed. It is not a thing. For example, after the interval loading means for ensuring the interval between the connected balls to be opened reliably before the balls reach the distributing device 340, the state of the distributing device 340 after a while after the balls enter the distributing device 340 May be configured in a manner that changes. In this case, since it is not necessary to strictly manage the timing of the state change of the distribution device 340, the distribution device 340 can be loosely supported, and the load required for the state change can be reduced.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the part of the sorting device 340 that the ball collides with is formed of an arc shape (arc wall portion 343) has been described, but this is not necessarily the case. For example, it may be configured from a flat plate-like portion of a portion corresponding to the arc wall portion 343. In this case, when the ball enters the distributing device 340 while the distributing device 340 returns to the initial state, the distributing device 340 is rotated by the load applied from the ball and returned to the changed state. Thereby, the period during which the distribution device 340 is maintained in the changed state can be extended.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the sorting device 340 is caused to return by the change of the center of gravity has been described, but this is not necessarily the case. For example, the sorter 340 is returned using a product in which the biasing force changes according to the movement direction (a movement resistance is applied only in 1 direction) or a cylinder product in which the movement resistance is changed for each direction using an orifice. You may operate it. In this case, maintainability can be improved by using a commercially available product. In addition, the rotational resistance of the rotation shaft of the distribution device 340 is configured to be small in the forward rotation and large in the reverse rotation, thereby applying a constant biasing force to the distribution device 340 to allow time for the return operation of the distribution device 340 It can cause a delay.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the spheres flowing from the fan-shaped member 410 into the inflow port 435 is guided by the delay channel 436 is not limited thereto. For example, by forming another floor surface below the inlet 435 (by forming a two-tiered floor on which the balls can roll), the sphere that has flowed from the fan-like member 410 into the inlet 435 is once again the floor The surface may be rolled to enter the winning opening 64. In this case, since the period in which the ball rolls on the floor surface can be extended, the player can pay attention to the movement of the ball and the period in which the ball stops striking can be extended. Therefore, it is possible to absorb the fluctuation of the winning portion held in the meantime, and to suppress the occurrence of the overflow.

  Although the case where the fan-shaped member 410 leans in the state which followed the left-right direction in the said 1st Embodiment was demonstrated, it is not necessarily restricted to this. For example, the rotary shaft may be inclined in a state in which it is aligned in the front-rear direction. In this case, the ball can be dropped toward the winning opening 64 along the inclination of the arc portion of the fan-shaped member 410 (the position in the left-right direction can be corrected).

  Although the case where the fan-shaped member 410 operates with the weight of a ball was described in the said 1st Embodiment, it is not necessarily restricted to this. For example, the fan-shaped member 410 may be configured to be electrically operated in a constant repetitive operation mode. In this case, a plurality of types of combinations of operations of the pair of fan-shaped members 410 can be configured. For example, a state in which the fan-shaped member 410 on the front side is in a raised state and a state in which the fan-shaped member 410 on the back side is in a reclining position, and a state in which the fan-shaped member 410 on the front side is lifted A state in which the member 410 is in a raised posture, a state in which the front fan 410 is in a lying posture and a state in which a rear fan 410 is in a lying posture, and the front fan 410 is in a lying posture It is possible to configure a state in which the fan-shaped member 410 on the back side is in a raised state and the posture in which the fan-shaped member 410 on the back side is raised can be configured, and the combination of the states of the pair of fan-shaped members 410 can be increased.

  Although the case where a pair of fan-shaped members 410 were comprised from the same shape was demonstrated in the said 1st Embodiment, it is not necessarily restricted to this. For example, compared with the fan-shaped member 410 on the front side, the fan-shaped member on the back side may be configured to be longer in width in the left-right direction. In this case, the action associated with the inclination of the fan-like member (the action of push-back) is also applied to a ball disposed at a position separated from the center position of the fan-like member 410 in the lateral direction and above the fan-like member on the back side. Can be generated.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the outlet of the delay flow passage 436 is displaced in the left-right direction with respect to the winning opening 64 has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the delay flow paths 436 under the pair of left and right inflow ports 435 may be joined at the center in the left and right, and the outlet thereof may be disposed right above the winning opening 64. In this case, it is possible to improve the rate at which the balls discharged to the game area from the outlet of the delay flow path 436 enter the winning opening 64.

  The present invention may be implemented on a type of pachinko machine or the like different from the above-described embodiments. For example, a pachinko machine (common name, two-time, three-time, and so on) in which the jackpot expected value can be increased until the jackpot state occurs a plurality of times (for example, two times, three times) including the jackpot once May be implemented as In addition, after the jackpot symbol is displayed, it may be implemented as a pachinko machine that generates a special game in which a predetermined game value is given to the player, as a prerequisite to winning a ball in a predetermined area. In addition, it is possible to have the winning device which possesses special territory such as V zone and to execute to the pachinko machine which becomes special game state as a necessary condition making the special territory win the ball. Furthermore, in addition to pachinko machines, various types of gaming machines may be implemented, such as arelapachis, ball balls, slot machines, gaming machines in which so-called pachinko machines and slot machines are fused.

  In the slot machine, for example, a symbol is changed by operating the operation lever in a state where the coin is inserted and the symbol effective line is determined, and the symbol is stopped and determined by operating the stop button. It is a thing. Therefore, as a basic concept of the slot machine, “a display device is provided which displays the identification information after displaying the identification information sequence consisting of a plurality of identification information in a variable manner, and is derived from the operation of the starting operation means (for example, operation lever) The variable display of identification information is started, and the variable display of identification information is stopped and fixedly displayed due to the operation of the operation means for stop (for example, stop button) or when a predetermined time elapses. It is a slot machine that generates a special game that gives a predetermined game value to the player, as a prerequisite that the combination of identification information at the time is a specific one. In this case, the game medium is represented by coins, medals, etc. An example is given.

  In addition, as a specific example of a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are fused, a display device is provided which variably displays a symbol row consisting of a plurality of symbols and then displays the symbols, and is provided with a handle for ball launch. Not included. In this case, after the injection of a predetermined amount of balls based on a predetermined operation (button operation), for example, the variation of the symbol is started due to the operation of the operation lever, for example, due to the operation of the stop button or By the passage of time, the fluctuation of the symbol is stopped, and a special game for giving a predetermined game value to the player is generated as a necessary condition that the determined symbol at the time of the stop is a so-called jackpot symbol. Is a lot of balls being dispensed to the lower tray. If such a gaming machine is used in place of a slot machine, only balls can be handled as gaming value in the gaming hall, so the gaming value is found in the current gaming hall where pachinko machines and slot machines are mixed. It is possible to solve the problems such as the burden on equipment due to the separate handling of medals and balls and the restriction on the installation location of gaming machines.

  Hereinafter, the concepts of various inventions included in the above-described embodiment in addition to the gaming machine of the present invention will be described.

<The second and subsequent balls are turned to another route and delayed to suppress the overflow>
In the first state in which the game ball enters the ball, and in the first state in which the game ball enters the ball in the first state, the game is switched to the game state even if the game ball enters the ball. In the gaming machine, provided with a detection entrance capable of constituting a second state in which the second state is not provided, and returning to the first state when a predetermined return period elapses after switching to the second state. , When entering a plurality of game balls, compare the period from the first game ball which is one game ball of the plurality of game balls enters the ball to the time the ball is thrown to the detection entrance And a delay means for delaying a period from when the second game ball, which is another game ball, enters the ball to sending the ball to the detection entrance, and the delay time by the delay means is longer than the return period A game machine A1 characterized by being.

  Here, in a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, information is obtained based on the entrance where the gaming ball enters the ball and the fact that the gaming ball enters the entrance, and display means based on the information There is a gaming machine which displays dynamically (see, for example, JP-A-2011-156058). However, in the above-described conventional gaming machine, it is possible to store information acquired based on the game ball entering the ball entrance into a predetermined number (for example, four pieces), and it is not possible to store more than that. It is considered to be a configuration, but if a plurality of gaming balls enter the ball entrance at short intervals continuously, the upper limit of the number that can be stored will be reached (the second state will occur), and so-called overflow may occur. There was a problem. Therefore, it is necessary for the player to reduce the number of balls shot continuously, or to play while checking the number of stored information constantly, at the player's own discretion, which places a burden on the player.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine A1, from the return period, the period from the first game ball entering the detection entrance to the second game sphere entering the detection entrance by the delay means. Since the second game ball is prevented from entering the detection entrance of the second state by being lengthened, the first game sphere enters the detection entrance and the detection entrance is in the second state. Even in the case where it becomes, it becomes possible to form a vacancy in the number that can be stored before the second gaming ball enters the detected entrance, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of overflow.

  The period delayed by the delay means is at least longer than the period of one dynamic display mode performed by the dynamic display means such as a liquid crystal device, and the longest in the case where the number of memories of the information storage means is the upper limit value. It is desirable to be longer than the period of the dynamic display mode of

  The configuration of the delay means is not particularly limited, and various aspects can be considered. For example, a mode may be adopted in which the path in which the gaming balls flow down is distributed by the movable member, or a mode in which the flow paths in which the gaming balls flow down may be distributed in accordance with the relationship between the shape of the flow path and the ball collision.

  In the gaming machine A1, the delaying means distributes the gaming ball into a plurality of paths and passes the gaming ball through the distributing means for changing the attitude from the first attitude to the second attitude, and the distributing means. An urging means for generating an urging force to change the attitude from the second attitude to the first attitude, and guiding the first gaming ball having passed through the distributing means when the distributing means is in the first attitude The first guiding flow path for sending the ball to the ball opening and the second gaming ball which has passed through the distributing means during the time before the distributing means returns from the second attitude to the first attitude, and detects the ball entry opening And a second guiding flow path for throwing the ball to the second guiding flow path, and a period during which the second gaming ball passes through the second guiding flow path is compared with a period during which the first gaming ball passes through the first guiding flow path. And the delay period is Gaming machine A2, characterized in that it is configured as a difference between these periods.

  According to the gaming machine A2, in addition to the effects exhibited by the gaming machine A1, the delaying means is the sorting means, the first guide flow path to which the game balls are distributed by the sorting means, the second guide flow path, and the distributing means. And a biasing means for returning the posture, and after that, compared with a period until the first gaming ball which has passed through the sorting means and is guided through the first guide flow path reaches the detection entrance. The period until the second gaming ball, which is passed through the sorting means and guided through the second guiding flow path by the biasing means immediately before returning to the first posture, can be extended by the biasing means until it reaches the detection entrance. Since the delay period is configured as a difference between these periods, it is ensured that the game ball will flow down compared to when the flow path of the game ball is randomly determined as when the game ball collides with the nail. Can be long, the game ball detected It can be shifted reliably the timing of reaching the sphere outlet.

  Further, since the attitude of the distributing means is returned by the urging means, the game balls are distributed to the case where the game balls reach the distributing means at intervals (when it is not necessary to delay the game balls that came later). It is possible to prevent the second guide channel from being distributed by the means.

  In the gaming machine A2, when the sorting means is in the first posture, a first wall facing the gaming ball in the flow-down direction and a gaming ball in contact with the first wall are used. And a second wall portion disposed at a sandwiching position, the second wall portion receiving a load along the flow-down direction from the gaming ball, the second attitude of the sorting means from the second attitude of the sorting means A game machine A3 characterized in that a posture change in a direction toward the posture is suppressed.

  According to the gaming machine A3, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine A2, the second wall disposed at a position sandwiching the gaming ball colliding with the sorting means with the first wall is along the flow-down direction from the gaming ball By receiving the load, the attitude change of the sorting means in the direction from the second attitude to the first attitude is suppressed, so the game ball which has passed the sorting means earlier passes the sorting means later The action of the ball prevents the flow down and prevents the flow from being delayed.

  In the gaming machine A2 or A3, the sorting means divides the gaming balls flowing down in series and includes dividing means for guiding only one ball to the first guide flow path, and the attitude changes due to the weight of the gaming balls A game machine A4 characterized in that the dividing means functions by changing the attitude of the distributing means.

  According to the gaming machine A4, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine A2 or A3, the balls flowing in series are divided by the dividing means of the distributing means, and a plurality of balls are guided in the first guide channel, This can be prevented without the addition of a drive source.

  The division means may be means for pushing the gaming balls toward the second guide flow path by protruding toward the inside of the flow path, or between the game balls connected by extending out toward the inside of the flow path. A means etc. which are inserted in between and cut game balls are illustrated.

  In the gaming machine A4, the sorting means includes a first wall facing in the flow-down direction with respect to the gaming ball and the gaming ball being in contact with the first wall when the first attitude is taken. And a second wall portion disposed at a sandwiching position, and the second wall portion is moved in the moving direction to the second gaming ball when the distributing means changes its posture from the first posture to the second posture. A game machine A5 characterized in that the game ball is introduced into the second guide channel by collision.

  According to the gaming machine A5, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine A4, when the sorting means collides with the second gaming ball in the moving direction during attitude change, the game is performed between the sorting means and the first guide channel It is possible to prevent the sorting means from malfunctioning due to the ball being pinched.

  Here, for example, when the distributing means operates electrically, the distributing means operates regardless of the position of the game ball, so that the game ball is at a position deviated from the entrance of the second guide channel and the distributing means When the distribution means operates in a direction in which the distance between the distribution means and the side wall of the first guide flow channel is narrowed while being arranged at a position between the side walls of the first guide flow channel, the distribution means and the first There is a possibility that the game ball is caught between the guide channel and the distributing means may cause malfunction.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine A5, since the operation of the sorting device is not electric but caused by the weight of the gaming ball, the sorting means does not operate in a state where the sorting means causes malfunction due to the arrangement of the gaming balls. Thus, the positional relationship and the shape relationship can be designed in advance. As a result, it is possible to prevent the malfunction of the sorting means.

  In the gaming machine A5, when a plurality of gaming balls reach the sorting means and one of the gaming balls abuts the first wall, the other gaming ball abuts in the moving direction of the second wall. The first guiding flow is a side surface that forms an entrance from the one gaming ball and the second guiding flow passage in the connected ball introducing state in which the distributing means has changed its attitude to the first guiding flow A game machine A6 characterized in that the distance between the end faces with the downstream side face of the path and the distance along the extending direction of the first guide flow path is equal to or less than the radius of the game ball.

  According to the gaming machine A6, in addition to the effects produced by the gaming machine A5, the center of the other gaming ball is the second when the other gaming ball reaches the sorting means in a row with one gaming ball in the connected ball introduction state. The game ball can be pushed along the side surface of the second guide channel because it is disposed in the area inside the second guide channel when the guide channel is extended, and the game ball can be inserted into the second guide channel. It can be introduced.

  In the gaming machines A4 to A6, the distributing means performs a returning operation from the second attitude to the first attitude in a period longer than the returning period.

  According to the gaming machine A7, in addition to the effects played by the gaming machines A4 to A6, the second gaming ball is surely prevented from entering the detection entry hole during the period of the second state. be able to.

  In the case where the dynamic display mode of the display device is a mode in which the short-term one is more easily selected as the number of memories of the detection entrance is larger, the length of the predetermined dynamic display mode is at least It is desirable that the length of the dynamic display mode is equal to or greater than the length of the shortest dynamic display mode when the memory number of the ball mouth is the upper limit.

<Overflow suppression by enabling the stage to operate with the weight of the ball>
In the first state in which the game ball enters the ball, and in the first state in which the game ball enters the ball in the first state, the game is switched to the game state even if the game ball enters the ball. In the gaming machine, provided with a detection entrance capable of constituting a second state in which the second state is not provided, and returning to the first state when a predetermined return period elapses after switching to the second state. A rolling means configured to have an optimal falling portion at which the gaming ball easily enters the detection entrance and a falling start position, and a rolling ball configured to roll on the upper surface in a manner that the gaming ball passes the optimal falling portion The rolling machine is operated in a mode in which the game balls are started to descend from the optimum dropping portion with an interval equal to or longer than the return period.

  Here, in a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, the gaming ball has an optimum dropping portion disposed as a falling start portion which is easy to enter the detection entrance, and the gaming ball disposed on the upper surface is an optimum dropping portion There is a gaming machine provided with rolling means (so-called "stage") configured to be able to roll in a passing manner (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-156058). However, in the above-described conventional gaming machine, the second gaming ball rides on the rolling means before the first gaming ball on the rolling means descends from the rolling means, and the first gaming ball and the first gaming ball are first There is a problem that there is a possibility that an overflow may occur at the detection entrance when the two game balls may descend from the optimum dropping portion in a short period of time.

  This is different from a state in which the gaming balls run down while colliding with nails, and in the case where the gaming balls reciprocate in the left-right direction in a mode of passing the optimal dropping portion (the gaming balls reciprocate in a specific route) Is a unique problem on rolling means that is subject to frequent collisions.

  On the other hand, according to the gaming machine B1, since the rolling means operates in such a mode that the game balls are started to descend one ball at a time from the optimum dropping portion, the game is detected in the detection entrance for a short period of time It is possible to prevent the balls from entering the ball together. Therefore, even when a plurality of gaming balls get on the rolling means, the occurrence of an overflow at the detection entrance can be suppressed.

  The gaming machine B1 includes an introduction channel for introducing a gaming ball to the rolling means, and the rolling means introduces the gaming ball from the introduction channel and guides the gaming ball to the optimum dropping portion. A floor member is provided, the first floor member being operatively formed by the weight of the rolling game ball, and the movement thereof reduces the speed toward the first floor member of the game ball which arrives later A game machine B2 characterized by operating in an aspect.

  According to the gaming machine B2, in addition to the effects of the gaming machine B1, when the gaming ball is on the first floor member of the rolling means, the first floor member operates with the weight of the gaming ball, thereby making the game Since the speed of the ball directed to the first floor member can be reduced, the distance between the gaming ball on the first floor member and the gaming ball directed to the first floor member can be increased. This can suppress the occurrence of overflow at the detection entrance.

  In the case of reducing the speed of the game ball directed to the first floor member, for example, the case where the speed of the game ball directed to the first floor member is lowered (braking), or the case of stopping the game ball, The case where the game ball is moved in the reverse direction to the direction toward the first floor member (reverse run) is exemplified.

  Further, as a method of reducing the speed of the gaming ball toward the first floor member, for example, the method of setting the first floor member to be inclined downward in the direction away from the first floor member, the upper surface of the first floor member And the method of projecting a magnet to a position where the magnetic force can act on the game ball on the first floor member.

  In the gaming machine B2, the optimum dropping portion is disposed on the first floor member, and the first floor member is configured to operate when dropping a game ball from the optimum dropping portion, The moving means is placed in the vicinity of the first floor member before and after the game ball falls from the optimum drop portion, and the optimum drop of another game ball heading to the optimum drop portion within a predetermined period A gaming machine B3 characterized in that it comprises prevention means for preventing the arrival of a club.

  According to the gaming machine B3, in addition to the effects exhibited by the gaming machine B2, the first floor member operates when the gaming ball falls from the optimal dropping portion, and the rolling means is the gaming ball from the optimal dropping portion Because it is placed on the first floor member before and after the falling and prevents the other game balls going to the optimal dropping part by the preventing means within a predetermined period, a plurality of gaming balls are introduced in series into the optimal dropping part Even in the case, it is possible to suppress that the other game balls fall continuously from the optimum drop portion after the foremost game ball is dropped from the optimum drop portion. This can suppress the occurrence of overflow at the detection entrance.

  In the gaming machine B3, the prevention means is capable of configuring the prevention state capable of preventing the game ball and the passage state in which the game ball can not be prevented, and the optimum immediately after the game ball falls from the optimum drop portion. As a state of the falling part, the game ball is dropped into the detection ball entrance in a mode in which the game ball falls easily in a mode in which the game ball easily enters the ball, and the game ball is entered into the detection ball opening in comparison with the suitable drop state. The normal falling state in which the game ball is dropped is configured in a manner that is difficult to be made, and the preventing means is in the preventing state when the preferable dropping state is made and the preventing means when the normal dropping state is made. Is in a passing state.

  According to the gaming machine B4, in addition to the effects exhibited by the gaming machine B3, the prevention means is in the prevention state when the optimum dropping portion is brought into the suitable dropping state, and the optimum dropping portion is brought into the normal dropping state. Since the prevention means is in a passing state, it is possible to suppress the game ball from being prevented until the game ball falling from the optimal drop section does not enter the detection entrance, and the game ball is in the detection entrance It is possible to prevent the timing of entering the ball from being meaninglessly delayed.

  A game machine B5 characterized in that the game machine B3 or B4 includes a throwing means for throwing the game ball prevented by the prevention means away from the optimum dropping portion.

  According to the gaming machine B5, in addition to the effects played by the gaming machine B3 or B4, the movement of the gaming ball is made intense by throwing the gaming ball prevented by the preventing means by the throwing means away from the optimum dropping portion.
