The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine (generally also referred to as a "pachinko machine") or a rotating cylinder type gaming machine (generally also referred to as a "pachislot machine").

A gaming machine such as a pachinko machine is provided with a payout device for paying out a game medium such as a game ball. The payout device includes a rotatable rotating body having a plurality of accommodating portions recessed from the cylindrical outer peripheral surface toward the center of rotation at a depth substantially the same as the outer diameter of the game medium, and an outer peripheral surface of the rotating body. The upper and lower parts of the cylinder are provided with an introduction port through which the game medium can pass and an outer peripheral wall having a discharge port. When the medium is accommodated and the rotating body is rotated in that state to align the accommodating portion with the discharge port, the game medium accommodated in the accommodating portion can be discharged from the discharge port and the game medium can be discharged. Devices have been proposed (eg, Patent Document 1).

However, the configuration similar to that of the conventional gaming machine lacks novelty, and it is difficult to further improve the gaming interest.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine having a new decorative aspect.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is:
A gaming machine that draws lots based on the establishment of predetermined conditions and gives profits based on the results of the lottery.
Equipped with an open / close door that can be opened and closed on the front side
The opening / closing door includes a plate unit having a ball storage unit capable of storing game balls.
The upper plate unit includes a movable decorative body having a decorative portion that can be operated by power at a position that can be seen by a seated player looking down.
The decorative portion of the movable decorative body includes a first decorative portion and a second decorative portion different from the first decorative portion.
Wherein the upper tray unit with a movable decoration body is provided with a continuous design portion having a special shape shall be the special shape portion and the adjacent agreement outer shape continuous shape of the movable decorative body having the decorative portion Ori,
The first decorative portion of the decorative portion of the movable decorative body that can be operated by power and the second decorative portion different from the first decorative portion are provided adjacent to each other.

The external shape in which the special shape portion of the movable decorative body and the continuous design portion having the special shape are adjacent to each other and have a continuous shape can be visually recognized in a normal state regardless of the decoration mode of the movable decorative body by the decorative portion. It is characterized by being said to be.

According to the configuration of the means 1, the gaming machine is recessed in an arc along the outer periphery of the gaming medium at a depth shallower than the radius of the gaming medium and accommodating the gaming medium from the circular outer peripheral surface toward the center in the circumferential direction. A rotatable rotating body having a plurality of accommodating parts arranged at regular intervals, and a game extending from above to a height near the upper end of the outer peripheral surface substantially vertically toward the center of rotation of the rotating body. An outer peripheral surface wider than the outer diameter of the game medium between the introduction portion where the medium can flow, from the lower end of the introduction portion to the height of the center of the rotating body in one direction of the rotation direction of the rotating body, and the most recessed portion of the accommodating part. A swivel part that extends in an arc shape around the rotating body at intervals narrower than the outer diameter of the game medium, and a discharge part that extends substantially vertically downward from the lower end of the swivel part and allows the game medium to flow. It is provided with a distribution passage having a.

As a result, when the rotating body is rotated while the game medium is supplied into the introduction portion of the distribution passage, when the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body is located on the lower end (directly below) side of the introduction portion, the game medium is formed by the outer peripheral surface. The game medium at the lower end of the introduction portion enters the swivel portion side because the distance from the outer peripheral surface is narrower than the outer diameter of the game medium on the upper end side of the swivel portion of the distribution passage. There is nothing to do. Then, when the accommodating portion is located directly below the introduction portion as the rotating body rotates, the game medium in the introduction portion falls into the accommodating portion, and the lower portion of the game medium is accommodated in the accommodating portion. The game medium on the upper side of the game medium accommodated in the accommodating portion is prevented from flowing downward by the gaming medium accommodated in the accommodating portion, and remains in the introduction portion.

Since the distance between the swivel portion extending from the lower end of the introduction portion and extending in the rotation direction of the rotating body from the most recessed portion of the accommodating portion is wider than the outer diameter of the gaming medium, the gaming medium is accommodated in the accommodating portion. When the rotating body further rotates in this state, the gaming medium accommodated in the accommodating portion moves (swivels) together with the accommodating portion toward the swivel portion without abuting on the lower end of the introduction portion. At this time, the game medium on the upper side of the game medium housed in the accommodating portion falls on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body, and the downward flow and the entry to the swivel portion side are prevented, so that the introduction portion is prevented from flowing down. It stays at the lower end.

After that, when the accommodating portion in which the game medium is accommodated moves below the center of rotation of the rotating body as the rotating body rotates, the gaming medium in the accommodating portion moves toward the lower end of the swivel portion and the subsequent discharging portion. Then, it flows down in the discharge part away from the rotating body (accommodation part). Therefore, the game medium in the introduction portion can be discharged (discharged) one by one from the discharging portion by the accommodating portion of the rotating body.

At this time, in the accommodating portion, the depth from the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body is shallower than the radius of the gaming medium and the depth is such that the gaming medium can be accommodated. The time for the game medium to fall can be shortened. Further, as compared with the case where the depth of the accommodating portion is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the game medium as in the technique of Patent Document 1, the width of the opening of the accommodating portion is smaller than the width of the introduction portion, so that the rotation is performed. The time in which the opening of the accommodating portion, which is moved by the rotation of the body, coincides with the introductory portion can be extended. Therefore, since the game medium in the introduction unit can be accommodated in the accommodation unit in a relatively short time, the rotation speed of the rotating body can be increased, and the number of game media paid out per unit time can be increased. can.

Further, since the number of game media to be paid out per unit time can be increased, a predetermined number of game media are provided to the player when a large number of game media are paid out due to the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state such as a big hit game. It is possible to pay out promptly, and it is possible to prevent the player from being annoyed by the slow payout and deteriorating the interest in the game.

It is desirable that the depth of the accommodating portion of the rotating body is 0.1 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the gaming medium, thereby ensuring that the accommodating portion accommodates the gaming medium. At the same time, it is possible to shorten the time for the gaming medium to fall from the outer peripheral surface to the most recessed portion of the accommodating portion, and it is possible to embody a gaming machine capable of reliably achieving the above-mentioned effects.

Further, it is desirable that the diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body is 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game medium. As a result, the outer diameter of the rotating body is made as small as possible, so that the inertia of the rotating body is reduced, the rotating body can be easily rotated at high speed, and the rotating body that can rotate at high speed per unit time. It is possible to increase the number of payouts of the game medium. Further, in this case, since the outer diameter of the rotating body is reduced, it is possible to suppress the increase in the overall size of the rotating body and the distribution passage, and it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in placement on the gaming machine.

Further, the rotating bodies are attached to both ends so that the accommodating parts of the rotating bodies are staggered in the circumferential direction, and a base shaft part extending in a rod shape slightly longer than the outer diameter of the game medium is further provided. , Two distribution passages may be provided so as to correspond to each rotating body. As a result, by rotating the two rotating bodies with one base shaft portion, the game medium can be alternately discharged (paid out) from the two flow passages, so that the base shaft portion (rotating body) makes one rotation. The number of game media released during the period (number of payouts) can be doubled, and the number of game media paid out per unit time can be increased.

Further, it is desirable that the swivel portion of the flow passage is separated outward from the most recessed portion of the accommodating portion of the rotating body by 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the game medium. As a result, the gaming medium can be satisfactorily moved from the introduction part to the discharge part by the rotating body (accommodation part) while suppressing the increase in size of the distribution passage, and the above-mentioned action and effect can be surely achieved. It is possible to embody a possible gaming machine.

Further, it is desirable to have three or four accommodating portions of the rotating body, whereby a large number of gaming media can be efficiently discharged (paid out) and the cost of the gaming machine is increased. It can be suppressed. In addition, by setting the number of accommodating parts in the rotating body to 3 to 4, when the rotating body is suddenly stopped while the rotating body is rotating at high speed, the accommodating part of the rotating body is intended due to the inertia of rotation. Even if it does not stop at the position where it was stopped, there is a margin in the rotation angle to the next accommodating part, so by stopping during that time, it is possible to suppress the extra discharge of the game medium, and the game per unit time. While increasing the number of released media, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the accuracy of the number of released gaming media.

Means 2: In the configuration of Means 1.
"The rotating body is
The depth of the accommodating portion is 0.1 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the game medium. "

Here, the reason why the depth of the accommodating portion is set to 0.1 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the game medium is that if it is shallower than 0.1 times, the accommodating portion becomes unstable and the accommodating portion becomes unstable. This is because the game medium tends to deviate from the above, and it becomes difficult to rotate the game medium together with the rotating body in the rotating portion in the state where the game medium is accommodated in the accommodating portion. If the depth is deeper than 0.4 times, the game medium rotates. Since it takes a relatively long time to reach the most concave part of the accommodating portion from the outer peripheral surface of the body, if the rotation speed of the rotating body is increased, the game medium is sandwiched between the opening of the accommodating portion and the lower end of the introduction portion. This is because it becomes easy and it becomes difficult to increase the rotation speed of the rotating body.

According to the configuration of the means 2, the depth of the accommodating portion of the rotating body is set to 0.1 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the game medium.

As a result, the depth from the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body of the accommodating portion is 0.1 to 0.4 with respect to the outer diameter of the gaming medium at a depth shallower than the radius of the gaming medium and capable of accommodating the gaming medium. Since the depth is limited to double, the gaming medium can be reliably accommodated in the accommodating portion, and the time for the gaming medium to fall from the outer peripheral surface to the most recessed portion of the accommodating portion can be shortened. It is possible to embody a gaming machine that can surely play the desired action and effect.

Means 3: In the configuration of Means 1 or Means 2.
"The rotating body is
The diameter of the outer peripheral surface is 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game medium. "

Here, the reason why the diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body is 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game medium is that if it is smaller than 1 times the outer diameter of the game medium, the accommodating portion is recessed in an arc shape. This is because the length of the arc of A In addition to the possibility that the rotating body and the distribution passage become large and the degree of freedom of installation in the game machine decreases, the weight of the rotating body becomes heavy and the load applied to the motor that rotates the rotating body increases. This is because it is necessary to use an expensive motor that can withstand a high load, which may increase the cost of the gaming machine.

According to the configuration of the means 3, the diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body is set to 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game medium.

As a result, the outer diameter of the rotating body is made as small as possible, so that the inertia of the rotating body is reduced, the rotating body can be easily rotated at high speed, and the rotating body that can rotate at high speed per unit time. It is possible to increase the number of payouts of the game medium. Further, since the outer diameter of the rotating body is reduced, it is possible to suppress an increase in the overall size of the rotating body and the distribution passage, and it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in placement on the gaming machine.

Means 4: In any one of the configurations from Means 1 to Means 3.
"The rotating body is rotatable on the same center as the center of the rotating body, and the rotating body is attached to both ends so that the accommodating portions are staggered in the circumferential direction. It is further equipped with a base shaft that extends slightly longer in a rod shape.
The distribution passage
Two are provided so as to correspond to the rotating bodies attached to both ends of the base shaft portion. "

According to the configuration of the means 4, the gaming machine is made rotatable on the same center as the center of the rotating body, and the rotating bodies are attached to both ends so that the accommodating portions are staggered in the circumferential direction. A base shaft portion that is slightly longer than the outer diameter of the game medium and extends in a rod shape is further provided, and a circulation passage is provided so as to correspond to each of the rotating bodies attached to both ends of the base shaft portion. It is designed to be prepared.

As a result, by rotating the two rotating bodies with one base shaft portion, the game medium can be alternately discharged (paid out) from the two flow passages, and the base shaft portion (rotating body) rotates once. The number of game media released in the meantime (number of payouts) can be doubled. Therefore, the number of payouts per unit time can be increased.

Means 5: In any one of the configurations from Means 1 to Means 4.
"The distribution passage is
The swivel portion is outwardly separated from the most recessed portion of the accommodating portion of the rotating body by 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the game medium. "

Here, the reason why the swivel portion is separated from the most recessed portion of the accommodating portion of the rotating body by 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the game medium is 1. If it is closer than 03 times, the space between the game medium accommodated in the accommodating portion and the inner wall of the swivel portion becomes too narrow, so that the gaming medium accommodated in the accommodating portion directly under the introduction portion rotates the rotating body. When moving to the swivel part side along with, if the game medium dropped from the introduction part is moved to the swivel part side in a state where it is not sufficiently accommodated in the accommodating part, it will reach the lower end of the introduction part (boundary with the swivel part). This is because there is a risk that the rotating body will not be able to rotate due to the possibility that the game medium will be pinched by contact with the game medium. This is because the overall size becomes large, and the degree of freedom of placement in the game machine deteriorates.

According to the configuration of the means 5, the swivel portion (inner wall) of the distribution passage is set to be separated outward from the most recessed portion of the accommodating portion of the rotating body by 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the game medium. It is a thing.

As a result, the gaming medium can be satisfactorily moved from the introduction part to the discharge part by the rotating body (accommodation part) while suppressing the increase in size of the distribution passage, and the above-mentioned action and effect can be surely achieved. It is possible to embody a possible gaming machine.

Means 6: In any one of the configurations from Means 1 to Means 5.
"The rotating body is
It is characterized by having 3 to 4 accommodating portions.

Here, the reason why the number of the accommodating portions is 3 to 4 in one rotating body is that when the number of accommodating portions is less than 3, the rotating body is used to release the next game medium from the accommodating portions. This is because the number of games to be released (number of payouts) is small with respect to the number of rotations of the rotating body and the efficiency is deteriorated because it is necessary to rotate at least half a turn. This is because it is necessary to use a relatively expensive motor capable of controlling the rotation of the rotating body in a narrow angle range, which increases the cost of the gaming machine.

According to the configuration of the means 6, the rotating body is provided with three or four accommodating portions.

As a result, a large number of gaming media can be efficiently released (paid out), and an increase in costs related to the gaming machine can be suppressed. In addition, since the number of accommodating parts in the rotating body is 3 to 4, when the rotating body is suddenly stopped while the rotating body is rotating at high speed, the accommodating part of the rotating body is intended due to the inertia of rotation. Even if it does not stop at the position where it is stopped, there is a margin in the rotation angle to the next accommodating part, so by stopping the rotating body during that time, it is possible to suppress the extra discharge of the game medium, and the unit time. While increasing the number of hit game media released, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the accuracy of the number of released game media.

Means 7: In a gaming machine
"A circular outer peripheral surface whose diameter is 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game medium, and a depth of 0.1 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the game medium from the outer peripheral surface toward the center. A rotatable rotating body that is recessed by an arc along the outer circumference of the game medium and has three to four accommodating portions arranged in a row at regular intervals in the circumferential direction.
The rotating body is rotatable on the same center as the center of the rotating body, and the rotating body is attached to both ends so that the accommodating portions are staggered in the circumferential direction, which is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game medium. A long rod-shaped base shaft and
The base shaft extends from above substantially vertically toward the center of rotation of the base shaft portion to a height near the upper end of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body, and the game medium can be distributed from the lower end of the introduction portion. 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the game medium from the most recessed portion of the accommodating portion to the height of the center of the base shaft portion in one of the rotation directions of the portion. It has a swivel portion that extends in an arc shape apart from each other, and a discharge portion that extends substantially vertically downward from the lower end of the swivel portion and allows the game medium to flow, and is attached to both ends of the base shaft portion. It is characterized by having two distribution passages provided so as to correspond to each of the above-mentioned rotating bodies. "

According to the configuration of the means 7, the gaming machine has a circular outer peripheral surface whose diameter is 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game medium, and 0 from the outer peripheral surface toward the center with respect to the outer diameter of the game medium. .With a rotatable rotating body having 3 to 4 accommodating portions, recessed in an arc along the outer circumference of the game medium at a depth of 1 to 0.4 times and arranged at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. , It is possible to rotate on the same center as the center of the rotating body, and rotating bodies are attached to both ends so that the accommodating parts are staggered in the circumferential direction, and the rod shape is slightly longer than the outer diameter of the game medium. The base shaft part that extends to the height near the upper end of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body substantially vertically from above so as to the rotation center of the base shaft part, and the introduction part and the introduction part where the game medium can be distributed. From the lower end to one side of the rotation direction of the base shaft part to the height of the center of the base shaft part, from the most recessed part of the accommodating part centering on the base shaft part to the outside 1.03 to 1.1 of the outer diameter of the game medium It has a swivel part that extends in an arc shape at a double distance, and a discharge part that extends substantially vertically downward from the lower end of the swivel part and allows the game medium to flow, and is attached to both ends of the base shaft part. It is equipped with two distribution passages, which are provided to correspond to each of the rotating bodies.

As a result, the diameter of the outer peripheral surface via the base shaft portion is 1 of the outer diameter of the game medium while the game medium is supplied into the introduction portions of the two flow passages arranged in the direction in which the base shaft portion extends. When the rotating body, which is set to be ~ 1.4 times, is rotated, in each rotating body, when the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body is located on the lower end (directly below) side of the introduction portion, the outer peripheral surface lowers the game medium. In the swivel part that continues from the lower end of the introduction part, the outer diameter of the game medium is 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the outer diameter of the game medium, and the outer peripheral surface is separated from the most recessed part of the accommodating part of the rotating body. Since the gap between the two and the game medium is narrower than the outer diameter of the game medium, the game medium at the lower end of the introduction portion does not enter the turning portion side. Then, when the accommodating portion is located directly below the introduction portion as the rotating body rotates, the game medium in the introduction portion falls into the accommodating portion, and the lower portion of the game medium is accommodated in the accommodating portion. The game medium on the upper side of the game medium accommodated in the accommodating portion is prevented from flowing downward by the gaming medium accommodated in the accommodating portion, and remains in the introduction portion.

The swivel part that continues from the lower end of the introduction part and extends in the direction of rotation of the rotating body has a distance of 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the game medium from the most recessed part of the housing part. When the rotating body further rotates while the game medium is housed in, the game medium housed in the house moves (swivels) together with the house to the swivel part without contacting the lower end of the introduction part. .. At this time, the game medium on the upper side of the game medium housed in the accommodating portion falls on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body, and the downward flow and the entry to the swivel portion side are prevented, so that the introduction portion is prevented from flowing down. It stays at the lower end.

After that, when the accommodating portion in which the game medium is accommodated moves below the center of rotation of the rotating body as the rotating body rotates, the gaming medium in the accommodating portion moves toward the lower end of the swivel portion and the subsequent discharging portion. Then, it flows down in the discharge part away from the rotating body (accommodation part). Then, the rotating bodies attached to both ends of the base shaft portion have 3 to 4 accommodating portions in the circumferential direction, and the accommodating portions are attached to the base shaft portion so as to be staggered. Since each of the rotating bodies is provided with a distribution passage, when the two rotating bodies are rotated via the base shaft portion, the game medium is alternately discharged (paid out) from the respective distribution passages.

At this time, since the depth from the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body is set to 0.1 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the game medium in the accommodating portion, from the outer peripheral surface to the most recessed portion of the accommodating portion. The time for the game medium to fall can be shortened. Further, as compared with the case where the depth of the accommodating portion is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the game medium as in the technique of Patent Document 1, the width of the opening of the accommodating portion is smaller than the width of the introduction portion, so that the rotation is performed. The time in which the opening of the accommodating portion, which is moved by the rotation of the body, coincides with the introductory portion can be extended. Further, by making the diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game medium, the outer diameter of the rotating body is made as small as possible, so that the inertia of the rotating body becomes small. , The rotating body can be easily rotated at high speed. Therefore, the game medium in the introduction section can be accommodated in the accommodation section in a relatively short time, the rotation speed of the rotating body can be increased, and the number of game media paid out per unit time can be increased. can.

In addition, since the number of accommodating parts in the rotating body is 3 to 4, when the rotating body is suddenly stopped while the rotating body is rotating at high speed, the accommodating part of the rotating body is intended due to the inertia of rotation. Even if it does not stop at the position where it is stopped, there is a margin in the rotation angle to the next accommodating part, so by stopping the rotating body during that time, it is possible to suppress the extra discharge of the game medium, and the unit time. While increasing the number of hit game media released, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the accuracy of the number of released game media.

Further, since the swivel portion of the flow passage is set to be 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the game medium outward from the most recessed portion of the accommodating portion of the rotating body, it is accommodated in the accommodating portion. Since the space between the game medium and the inner wall of the swivel part becomes too narrow, it is introduced when the game medium housed in the accommodating part directly under the introduction part moves to the swivel part side with the rotation of the rotating body. When the game medium that has fallen from the section is moved to the swivel section side in a state where it is not sufficiently accommodated in the accommodating section, it becomes easy to contact the lower end of the introduction section (boundary with the swivel section) and the game medium is pinched and rotated. It is possible to reduce the possibility that the body cannot rotate, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the degree of freedom of placement in the game machine due to the overall enlargement of the distribution passage having the swivel portion. can. That is, the gaming medium can be satisfactorily moved from the introduction part to the discharge part by the rotating body (accommodation part) while suppressing the increase in size of the distribution passage, and the above-mentioned action and effect can be surely achieved. It is possible to embody a variety of gaming machines.

Further, since the number of game media to be paid out per unit time can be increased, a predetermined number of game media are provided to the player when a large number of game media are paid out due to the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state such as a big hit game. It is possible to pay out promptly, and it is possible to prevent the player from being annoyed by the slow payout and deteriorating the interest in the game.

Further, the button unit 220C is arranged on the left side of the front view of the touch unit 220B.

The effect operation unit 220 can present various effects to the player according to the game state that changes by hitting the game ball into the game area 5a. For example, by displaying an image on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 of the touch unit 220B, the image (effect image) can be presented to the player to be entertained through the transparent touch panel 246.

By displaying an image imitating an operation button as an image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 and making it possible to accept touch detection by the sensor sheet 246b of the touch panel 246, the player can receive the image of the image. The operation buttons can be operated, and the effect using the touch panel 246 can be enjoyed. The image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 during the effect using the touch panel 246 is not limited to the operation buttons, and various images can be displayed.

Further, in the effect operation unit 220, since the touch unit 220B is supported in a floating state from the unit case 231 by a plurality of dampers 222, the touch unit 220B can be operated by operating the vibration device 242 according to the gaming state. It can be vibrated. By vibrating the touch panel 246 (touch unit 220B) with the vibration device 242 during the production using the touch panel 246, the vibration by the vibration device 242 is applied to the fingers and hands of the player who is in contact with the touch panel 246. It can be transmitted and surprised by the player as if he / she is operating the operation button of the image even though he / she is operating the operation button of the image. It is possible to entertain the player and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the effect operation unit 220 is provided with the button unit 220C on the left side of the front view of the touch unit 220B, the player is made to press the upper plate effect button 257 according to the game state, and the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed. You can entertain the operation. More specifically, the operation buttons of the image on the touch panel 246 are disliked to lack an operation feeling compared to the actual operation buttons because they only touch the touch panel 246, but the upper plate effect button 257 actually presses the operation. Therefore, it is possible to comfortably enjoy the operation of the upper plate effect button 257 without giving a sense of discomfort to the operation of the upper plate effect button 257, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest in the game. ..

Since this effect operation unit 220 is arranged at a portion of the plate unit 200 that bulges forward and is provided with the upper plate 201, the game is played even when the effect is not performed using the touch unit 220B or the button unit 220C. There is a risk of hitting a person with the touch unit 220B or the like from above. On the other hand, in the effect operation unit 220, since the touch unit 220B is supported by the damper 222 in a floating state from the lower unit case 231, the elasticity of the damper 222 even if the touch unit 220B is hit from above. The impact can be absorbed to some extent by force. More specifically, when an impact (load) acts from above, such as when the touch unit 220B is hit, it is transmitted to the damper 222 into which the left and right lateral support pins 231b are inserted, and the damper 222 is lowered while the touch unit 220B is lowered. Is compressed. By compressing the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pin 231b, the impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed.

The damper 222 is compressed downward. As a result, the impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed by the damper 222 supported by the front support pin 231c in addition to the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pin 231b.

When the touch unit 220B is further lowered by the impact acting on the touch unit 220B, the lower surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B comes into contact with the bottom surfaces of the accommodation recesses 231a in the unit case 231 on the left and right sides and the upper surface of the central support projection 231d. As a result, the impact from the touch unit 220B acts directly on the unit case 231 from the touch unit 220B without going through the plurality of dampers 222.

Further, when the touch unit 220B is lowered, the bottom surface of the accommodating recess 231a of the unit case 231 is bent so that the center thereof moves downward due to the load from the central support projection 231d. The impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed by the elastic force due to the bending of the bottom surface of the accommodating recess 231a. By bending the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a, a pair of receiving protrusions 231e protruding downward from the lower side of the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a descend. Then, when the abutment portion 231e is further lowered due to the impact from the touch unit 220B, the lower end side of the outer peripheral wall of the abutment portion 231e abuts on the inner peripheral wall of the tubular receiving portion 230c of the mounting base 230, and the abutment portion 231e from the touch unit 220B. The impact will be transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230.

The transmitted load is distributed and transmitted in the direction along the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230 and in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface. In this way, by the time the impact acting on the touch unit 220B is transmitted to the mounting base 230, the structure for absorbing the impact is arranged in multiple layers, so that the impact acting on the touch unit 220B is sufficiently absorbed. The touch unit 220B, the unit case 231 and the mounting base 230 can be made less likely to be damaged by the impact.

Further, the effect operation unit 220 is a linear light emitting portion of the linear light emitting lens member 237 extending along the outer peripheral edge on the rear side of the touch unit 220B by the peripheral LED 235b of the decorative substrate 235 after the upper plate according to the gaming state. The upper end of 237b can be made to emit light linearly.

Is pressed against the moving end on the upper side, so that the touch unit 220B can be made difficult to move during the operation of the touch panel 246, and the touch panel 246 can be operated accurately. Further, since the touch unit 220B becomes difficult to move, it is possible to make the player think that the touch unit 220B does not move, and the touch unit 220B which is thought to not move is vibrated according to the game state. The device 242 can vibrate to surprise the player, entertain the player, and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the touch unit 220B is vibrated by a plurality of vibration devices 242 separated from each other, for example, it is strong by driving the vibration device 242 at a position close to the part operated by the player on the touch panel 246. Vibration can be transmitted. Therefore, when the player operates the touch panel 246 at a position different from the position to be operated, the vibration transmitted to the player is different, so that the player is notified that the operation is incorrect. It is possible to make the player perform the correct operation, to enjoy the operation effect using the touch panel 246, and to suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Since a gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall, the receiving portion 231e and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other after the unit case 231 bends downward due to an impact or a load from the touch unit 220B. The impact and the like are transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230, and the impact and the like are further attenuated by the bending of the unit case 231 and transmitted to the mounting base 230. Since the outer peripheral wall of the abutment portion 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the tubular receiving portion 230c are narrowed downward, when the abutment portion 231e and the tubular receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other, the abutment portion 231e (unit case). 231) Impacts and loads from the side are transmitted diagonally to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230, and are perpendicular to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230 and along the bottom surface. The force in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface (downward) that causes the mounting base 230 to bend is reduced and transmitted to the mounting base 230 side. Therefore, even if the touch unit 220B is hit or strongly pushed from above, the impact and the like can be effectively damped by the plurality of dampers 222, the unit case 231 and the mounting base 230, and the touch unit 220B and the like can be used. It is possible to prevent the mounting base unit 220A from being damaged.

Further, when the lower end of the movable piece 826a is rotated in the direction of approaching the wall of the guide passage 822c (to the right in the front view), the left surface of the movable piece 826a becomes the guide passage 822c. Consistent with the inner surface. In this state, the detection piece 826f in front of the movable piece member 826 is in a non-detection state with respect to the ball breakage detection sensor 827. That is, when there is a game ball in the guidance passage 822c, the ball out detection sensor 827 is not detected.

The ball guidance unit 820 of the present embodiment can guide a plurality of game balls to the lower payout device 830 in two rows in the front and rear by the front case 821 and the rear case 822 in a state where a plurality of game balls are lined up in a row. At this time, since the front case 821 and the rear case 822 are separated by the partition plate 823, the game balls circulating in the respective guide passages 821c and 822c do not interfere with each other and are satisfactorily distributed. Can be done.

Further, when the game ball circulates in the guide passages 821c and 822c of the ball guidance unit 820, the game ball comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a and 826a of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826, and the movable pieces 825a and 826a come into contact with each other. The front 825 of the movable piece member and the rear 826 of the movable piece member rotate in the direction corresponding to the wall surfaces of the guide passages 821c and 822c. As a result, the detection pieces 825f and 826f of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 are not detected by the ball breakage detection sensor 827, and it can be seen that the game balls are in the guide passages 821c and 822c.

Then, when the game ball is paid out by the payout device 830 on the downstream side of the ball guidance unit 820, the game ball in the guide passages 821c and 822c flows downstream. When the game ball flows in the guide passages 821c and 822c, the momentum of the game ball flowing through the introduction portions 821d and 822d becomes stronger, and the game ball flowing through the introduction portions 821d and 822d becomes a movable piece at the upper part of the detection units 821e and 822e. It bounces back to the 825a and 826a sides and comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Since the movable pieces 825a and 826a vibrate due to the contact of the game balls, the vibration causes the movable pieces 825a and 826a to be sandwiched or intruded between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the notches 821g and 822g of the guide passages 821c and 822c. It is possible to remove dust, dust, etc., and the movable pieces 825, 826a can be satisfactorily rotated by its own weight or the like.

Further, the ball guidance unit 820 detects the game balls circulating in the guide passages 821c and 822c by the separate movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826, and also detects the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826. Since the detection pieces 825f and 826f of each 826 after one member are detected by one ball breakage detection sensor 827, when the game balls in any of the guide passages 821c and 822c are exhausted, the front 825 of the movable piece member Alternatively, the movable pieces 825a, 826a of the movable piece member 826 rotate so as to protrude into the guide passages 821c, 822c, and the detection pieces 825f, 828f on the side where the game ball disappears are detected by the ball breakage detection sensor 827. .. Therefore, since it is possible to detect the out of the game ball at an early stage, it is possible to quickly replenish the game ball, and by shortening the time during which the game is interrupted as much as possible, the interest of the player is reduced. It can be suppressed.

Further, by screwing a metal screw as a weight into the weight mounting portions 825e and 826e of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826, the weight of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 and the weight Therefore, the lower end side of the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be easily rotated in the direction of projecting into the guide passages 821c and 822c. Further, since the upper ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a are rotatably attached to the outside of the guide passages 821c and 822c so that the lower end side protrudes into the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust in the guide passages 821c and 822c is formed. And dust do not adhere to the upper and lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, even if the movable pieces 825a and 826a rotate toward the wall side of the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust and dirt do not get caught between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the wall, so that their own weight and the like do not occur. It is possible to rotate the movable pieces 825a and 826a satisfactorily, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a problem that the movable pieces 825a and 826a do not rotate.

As described above, the ball guiding unit 820 of the present embodiment has the movable pieces 825a and 826a of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 whose lower end side projects into the guiding passages 821c and 822c through which the game ball flows due to its own weight. By attaching a weight made of metal screws to the weight mounting portions 825e and 826e on the opposite side of the surface that comes into contact with the game ball, the movable piece 825a is determined by the weight of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member 826 and the weight of the weight. , 826a can be easily rotated (protruded) into the guide passages 821c and 822c. Further, since the upper ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a are rotatably attached to the outside of the guide passage 822c so that the lower end side protrudes into the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust and dirt in the guide passages 821c and 822c are formed. Etc. do not adhere to the upper end or the lower end of the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, even if the movable pieces 825a and 826a rotate toward the wall side of the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust and dirt do not get caught between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the wall, so that their own weight and the like do not occur. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of a problem that the movable pieces 825a and 826 (825 before the movable piece member and 826 after the movable piece member) do not rotate.

Further, since the metal screw as the weight is screwed into the weight mounting portions 825e and 826e which are the through holes, the weight is attached even if the front 825 of the movable piece member and the rear 826 of the movable piece member rotate frequently. The front 825 of the movable piece member and the rear 826 of the movable piece member (weight mounting portions 825e, 826e) do not come off, and the front 825 of the movable piece member and the rear 826 of the movable piece member can be maintained in good condition for a long period of time. .. Further, the weight can be easily attached to the front 825 of the movable piece member and the rear 826 of the movable piece member simply by screwing the metal screws into the weight attachment portions 825e and 826e, so that the time and effort for attaching the weight can be simplified. This makes it possible to reduce the cost associated with assembling the pachinko machine 1.

Further, since the moving pieces 825a and 825c are provided with an introduction portion 822d for guiding the game ball toward the movable pieces 825a and 825c on the upstream side of the portion where the movable pieces 825a and 825c project inward in the guiding passages 821c and 822c. As the game ball flows in the passages 821c and 822c, the game ball comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a and 826a, so that the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be vibrated by the contact of the game ball. Therefore, due to the vibration of the movable pieces 825a and 826a, dust and dirt that are sandwiched or invaded between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the walls of the guide passages 821c and 822c can be removed, and the movable pieces can be moved by their own weight or the like. The front 825 of the one-sided member and the rear 826 of the movable piece member can be made to rotate satisfactorily.

Therefore, since the front 825 of the movable piece member and the rear 826 of the movable piece member can be satisfactorily rotated, the state (presence / absence) of the game ball in the guide passages 821c and 822c can be reliably detected. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of problems due to false positives and the like. Further, even if the game ball supplied to the payout device 830 disappears from the guide passages 821c and 822c, the presence or absence of the game balls in the guide passages 821c and 822c can be reliably detected via the movable pieces 825a and 826a. It is possible to replenish the game ball, and by shortening the time during which the game is interrupted as much as possible, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player.

In the present embodiment, since the ball pulling movable piece 843 is provided with a weight mounting portion 843d, the ball pulling lever 844 is slid upward by screwing and mounting a weight made of a metal screw into the weight mounting portion 843d. When the restriction on the counterclockwise rotation in the front view is lifted, the lower end of the movable ball-extracting piece 843 protrudes into the ball-extracting passages 381e and 832e due to the weight of the movable ball-extracting piece 843 and the weight of the weight. It can be easily rotated in the direction (counterclockwise when viewed from the front).

Further, in a normal state in which the ball pulling lever 844 is slid downward to close the ball pulling passages 831e and 832e, the game ball that has entered from the payout inlets 831a and 832a enters the main body portion 843a of the ball pulling movable piece 843. Since the contact is made, the ball-pulling movable piece 843 can be vibrated by the contact of the game ball. Therefore, dust and dirt that are sandwiched or invaded between the lower end of the ball-removing movable piece 843 and the inner surface of the ball-removing passages 831e and 832e can be removed by the vibration of the ball-removing movable piece 843, and the dust can be removed. It is possible to prevent the ball-removing movable piece 843 from being unable to rotate due to biting dust or the like.

Further, since the metal screw as a weight can be screwed into the weight mounting portion 843d which is a through hole and attached, even if the ball pulling movable piece 843 rotates frequently, the weight can be pulled out by the ball pulling movable piece 843. The ball-extracting movable piece 843 can be maintained in a good state for a long period of time without coming off from the (weight mounting portion 843d). Further, since the weight can be easily attached to the ball-extracting movable piece 843 simply by screwing the metal screw into the weight attachment portion 843d, the time and effort for attaching the weight can be simplified, and the pachinko machine 1 can be assembled. It is possible to reduce the cost related to.

By the way, when the ball removing passages 831e and 832e are closed for a long period of time by the ball removing movable piece 843, fine dust adheres to the rotating shaft of the ball removing movable piece 843 or the rotating shaft rusts, resulting in a ball. The pull-out movable piece 843 may be difficult to rotate. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the game ball that has entered from the payout inlets 831a and 832a is brought into contact with the main body portion 843a of the ball removing movable piece 843, the ball removing passage 831e is provided by the ball removing movable piece 843. , 832e is closed, and when the ball pulling lever 844 to release the closing is slid upward to unlock, the game ball comes into contact with the ball pulling movable piece 843, and the impact of the contact causes the ball to come into contact with the movable piece 843. The ball pulling movable piece 843 can be rotated, and the ball pulling passages 831e and 832e can be reliably opened.

Therefore, when the ball pulling lever 844 is operated to open the ball pulling passages 831e and 832e, the ball pulling movable piece 843 can rotate satisfactorily, so that the game ball can be reliably pulled out. , Workability at the time of maintenance etc. can be improved.

The front blade 839b, the rear blade 839c, and the ball accommodating portion 839e in the payout vane 839 correspond to the rotating body of the present invention, and the ball accommodating portion 839e of the present embodiment corresponds to the accommodating portion of the present invention, respectively.

Further, in the crank-shaped bent portions of the payout passages 831d and 832d of the present embodiment, the upper side of the bent portion is the introduction portion of the present invention, and the arc-shaped portion of the bent portion is the swivel portion of the present invention. In addition, the lower side of the bent portion corresponds to the discharge portion of the present invention, respectively.

[5. Characteristic effects of this embodiment]
As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the payout device 830 of the payout unit 800 in the main body frame 4, the two payout passages 831d and 832d arranged in a row in the front-rear direction in which the base cylinder portion 839a extends are provided. With the game ball supplied to the upper part of the part that is bent like a crank (hereinafter referred to as the introduction part), the diameter of the outer peripheral surface is the outer diameter of the game ball via the base cylinder part 839a of the payout blade 839. When the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c, which are 1 to 1.4 times larger, are rotated, in each of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c, the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c are located on the lower end (directly below) side of the introduction portion. When the outer peripheral surface is located, the outer peripheral surface prevents the game ball from flowing downward, and the portion that is bent in an arc shape at the portion that is bent like a crank that continues from the lower end of the introduction portion. In (hereinafter referred to as a swivel portion), the outer diameter of the game ball is 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the game ball from the most recessed portion of the ball accommodating portion 839e of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c, and the gap with the outer peripheral surface is the game. Since it is narrower than the outer diameter of the ball, the game ball at the lower end of the introduction portion does not enter the turning portion side. When the ball accommodating portion 839e is located directly below the introduction portion as the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c rotate, the game ball in the introduction portion falls into the ball accommodating portion 839e, and the lower part of the game ball accommodates the ball. It is housed in part 839e. The game ball on the upper side of the game ball accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e is prevented from flowing downward by the game ball accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e, and remains in the introduction portion.

The swivel portion that continues from the lower end of the introduction portion and extends in the rotational direction of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c has a distance from the most recessed portion of the ball accommodating portion 839e of 1.03 to 1.1 of the outer diameter of the game ball. Since it is twice as wide, when the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c rotate further while the game ball is accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e, the game ball accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e hits the lower end of the introduction portion. It moves (turns) to the turning portion side together with the ball accommodating portion 839e without touching. At this time, the game ball on the upper side of the game ball housed in the ball accommodating portion 839e falls on the outer peripheral surfaces of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c, and flows downward and enters the swivel portion side. It is blocked and stays at the lower end of the introduction part.

After that, when the ball accommodating portion 839e in which the game ball is accommodated moves below the rotation center of the front vane 839b and the rear vane 839c with the rotation of the front vane 839b and the rear vane 839c, the ball accommodating portion 839e is inside the ball accommodating portion 839e. The game ball moves toward the lower portion of the crank-shaped bent portion (hereinafter referred to as the discharge portion) that continues to the lower end of the turning portion, and separates from the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c (ball accommodating portion 839e). Then, it flows down in the discharge unit and is detected by the payout detection sensor 842. Then, the front blades 839b and the rear blades 839c attached to both ends of the base cylinder portion 839a have three ball accommodating portions 839e in the circumferential direction, and the ball accommodating portions 839e are staggered. Since it is attached to the base cylinder portion 839a and the discharge passages 831d and 832d are provided corresponding to the front blades 839b and the rear blades 839c, respectively, the two front blades 839b and the rear blades 839c are provided via the base cylinder portion 839a. When rotated, the game balls are alternately paid out from the respective payout passages 831d and 832d.

At this time, in the ball accommodating portion 839e, the depth from the outer peripheral surface of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c is 0.1 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball, so that the ball is formed from the outer peripheral surface. It is possible to shorten the time for the game ball to fall to the most recessed portion of the accommodating portion 839e. Further, as compared with the case where the depth of the ball accommodating portion is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the game ball as in the conventional case, the width of the opening of the ball accommodating portion 839e is larger than the width of the introduction portion (payout passage 831d, 832d). Therefore, the time during which the opening of the ball accommodating portion 839e, which is moved by the rotation of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c, coincides with the introduction portion can be made longer. Further, by making the diameter D1 of the outer peripheral surfaces of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball, the outer diameters of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c are made as small as possible. Therefore, the inertia of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c becomes small, and the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c can be easily rotated at high speed. Therefore, the game ball in the introduction portion can be accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e in a relatively short time, and the rotation speeds of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c can be increased, so that the game ball per unit time can be accommodated. The number of payouts can be increased.

Further, since the number of ball accommodating portions 839e by the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c is three, the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c are suddenly stopped when the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c are rotated at high speed. In this case, even if the ball accommodating portion 839e does not stop at the intended position due to the inertia of rotation, there is a margin in the rotation angle (here, an angle of 120 degrees) until the next ball accommodating portion 839e. By stopping the 839b and the rear blade 839c (ball accommodating portion 839e), it is possible to suppress the extra release of the game ball, and the game ball is released while increasing the number of game balls released per unit time. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the accuracy of the number of payouts of game balls.

Further, since the inner wall of the swivel portion of the payout passages 831d and 832d is separated outward from the most recessed portion of the ball accommodating portion 839e by 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the game ball, the ball is accommodated. Since the space between the game ball accommodated in the portion 839e and the inner wall of the turning portion becomes too narrow, the game ball accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e directly under the introduction portion is accompanied by the rotation of the ball accommodating portion 839e. When the gaming ball dropped from the introduction portion moves to the turning portion side in a state where it is not sufficiently accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e when moving to the turning portion side, the lower end of the introduction portion (boundary with the turning portion). It is possible to reduce the possibility that the payout blade 839 cannot rotate due to the game ball being pinched by the ball, and the payout passages 831d and 832d having the swivel portion are enlarged as a whole. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the degree of freedom of placement on the pachinko machine 1 from deteriorating. That is, while suppressing the enlargement of the payout passages 831d and 832d (payout device 830), the payout blade 839 can satisfactorily move the game ball from the introduction portion to the discharge portion, and the above-mentioned action and effect are ensured. It is possible to embody a pachinko machine 1 that can be played.

In addition, since the number of game balls to be paid out per unit time can be increased, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the player when a large number of game balls are paid out due to the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state such as a big hit game. Can be paid out promptly, and it is possible to prevent the player from being annoyed by the slow payout and deteriorating the interest in the game.
