When 31 rotates clockwise, the rotating body 30 (inner rotating body 40) rotates backward, and the link gear 33 (corresponding to the "transmission means" of the present invention) also rotates around the rotating shaft 31 (rotating axis G3). Rotate and move. Then, the link gear 33 rotates around the rotation axis G1 due to meshing with the bevel gear 32 (corresponding to the "transmission means" of the present invention), so that the spherical link 34 rotates and rotates outward based on the driving force from the motor 71. It functions to swing the body 50.

Next, the operation of the rotating body 30 will be described.
The rotating body 30 (outer rotating body 50) swings as shown in FIGS. 10A to 10D. 10 (A) to 10 (D) show a state in which the outer rotating body 50 swings relative to the inner rotating body 40 so that the first outer rotating portion 51 is viewed from the front. The spherical link 34 rotates counterclockwise around the rotation axis G1 (axis extending along the second axis portion 34b) based on the driving force from the motor 71. The second shaft portion 34b of the spherical link 34 is located near the right end portion of the groove portion 51b as shown in FIG. 10 (A), and presses the wall surface (upper wall surface shown in FIG. 10) of the groove portion 51b. As shown in 10 (B), the groove portion 51b moves to the vicinity of the center in the left-right direction. At this time, the outer rotating body 50 rotates counterclockwise about the swing axis G2 (the axis extending along the swing shafts 41a and 42a).

Subsequently, when the spherical link 34 further rotates counterclockwise around the rotation axis G1, the second shaft portion 34b of the spherical link 34 presses the wall surface (lower wall surface shown in FIG. 10) of the groove portion 51b. As shown in FIG. 10C, the groove portion 51b moves to the vicinity of the left end portion. Then, the outer rotating body 50 rotates clockwise around the swing axis G2 while gradually not receiving the pressing force from the second shaft portion 34b. Subsequently, when the spherical link 34 further rotates counterclockwise around the rotation axis G1, the second shaft portion 34b of the spherical link 34 presses the wall surface (lower wall surface shown in FIG. 10) of the groove portion 51b. As shown in FIG. 10D, the groove portion 51b moves to the vicinity of the center in the left-right direction. At this time, the outer rotating body 50 rotates clockwise around the swing axis G2. Subsequently, when the spherical link 34 further rotates counterclockwise around the rotation axis G1, the second shaft portion 34b of the spherical link 34 presses the wall surface (upper wall surface shown in FIG. 10) of the groove portion 51b. As shown in FIG. 10A, the groove portion 51b moves to the vicinity of the right end portion. At this time, the outer rotating body 50 rotates counterclockwise about the swing axis G2. As described above, the outer rotating body 50 swings relative to the inner rotating body 40 about the swing axis G2, so that the rotating body 30 (outer rotating body 50) swings.

FIG. 11 is a developed schematic view of the outer surface of the rotating body 30 (outer rotating body 50). As shown in FIG. 11, the plurality of recesses 53 are formed in the region group 53aR of the first recess (corresponding to the "first holding portion" of the present invention) 53a and the second recess (the "second holding portion" of the present invention). Equivalent) Contains the region group 53bR of 53b. The first recess 53a moves the held game ball to the winning opening 62a. The first recess 53a is arranged at the center position in the left-right direction on the outer surface of the rotating body 30. The second recess 53b moves the held game ball to the outlet 61f. The second recess 53b is arranged near both ends in the left-right direction on the outer surface of the rotating body 30. Then, on the outer surface of the rotating body 30, the first recess 53a and the pair of second recesses 53b are arranged to repeatedly appear in this order along the circumferential direction (around the rotation axis G3).

Next, the operation of the winning device 20 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the movement of the game ball B1 that has entered the ball entry port 21a will be described. The game ball B1 that has entered the ball entry port 21a of the plate member 21 flows down to the outer surface of the rotating body 30 through the opening 22e. Then, when the first recess 53a is located directly below the opening 22e due to the rotation of the rotating body 30 (outer rotating body 50), as shown in FIG. 12A, the game of entering the ball into the ball entry port 21a. The sphere B1 is directly guided to the first recess 53a and held in the first recess 53a. When the first recess 53a is not located directly below the opening 22e, the first recess 53a is located directly below the opening 22e with the game ball B1 in the opening 22e. Rolls on the outer surface of the rotating body 30 (outer rotating body 50) based on the rotation of the rotating body 30. That is, the ball entry port 21a is arranged so as to overlap in the vertical direction at a predetermined position on the movement path of the first recess 53a.

As shown in FIG. 12B, the game ball B1 held in the first recess 53a is rearward in response to rotation about the rotation axis G3 (axis extending along the rotation axis 31) of the rotating body 30. It is moved (counterclockwise in FIG. 12). Here, the game ball B1 held in the first recess 53a moves so as to enter under the protective body 22 and is covered with the protective body 22 and the rear wall portion 62c so as not to separate from the first recess 53a. It has become. At this time, the game ball B1 is a rotating body except for the game ball B1 held in the first recess 53a located on the swing axis G2 (the first recess 53a located at the center of the rotating body 30 in FIG. 10). It moves while meandering due to the swinging motion of 30 (outer rotating body 50). The game ball B1 held in the first recess 53a located on the swing axis G2 rotates and moves around the rotation axis G3 by the swing operation of the rotating body 30. In other words, by providing the first recess 53a so as to be offset from the swing axis G2, the game ball B1 held in the first recess 53a moves while meandering due to the swing motion of the rotating body 30.

When the rotating body 30 further rotates about the rotation axis G3, the first recess 53a faces the winning opening 62a as shown in FIG. 12C. When the first recess 53a reaches a position facing the winning opening 62a, as shown in FIG. 12C, the game ball B1 is disengaged from the support of the rear wall portion 62c and falls from the first recess 53a to the winning opening 62a. It passes through the passage frame 62 and is detected by the detection switch 63. Then, the gaming machine 1 is in a big hit state in which the big winning opening 6 is opened. The opening width of the winning opening 62a is set to be substantially the same as the swing width of the first recess 53a, and the game ball B1 held in the first recess 53a swings and moves to the winning opening 62a without fail. It will fall and win a prize.

Next, the movement of the game ball B2 that has entered the ball entrances 21b and 21c will be described. The game ball B2 that has entered the ball entry ports 21b and 21c of the plate member 21 flows down the upper surface of the protective portion 22a and is guided to the freeway 22b. Then, the game ball B2 flowing forward on the freeway 22b is guided to the stop portion 22c and flows down to the outer surface of the rotating body 30 through the opening 22d as shown in FIG. 12A. The game ball B2 that has flowed down the floating path 22b enters either the first recess 53a or the second recess 53b in order for the rotating body 30 to perform the above-mentioned swinging motion (see FIG. 10). FIG. 12A shows a state in which the game ball B2 has entered the first recess 53a. When the first recess 53a and the second recess 53b are not located so as to face the opening 22d, the first recess 53a or the first recess 53a or the first recess 53a is in contact with the game ball B2 on the outer surface of the rotating body 30. 2 The retaining portion 22c is stopped while rolling based on the rotation of the rotating body 30 until the concave portion 53b faces the opening 22d. That is, the opening 22d has at least the width of the arrangement region of the first recess 53a and the second recess 53b, and is arranged so as to overlap with a predetermined position on each movement path in the front-rear direction.

The game ball B2 held in the first recess 53a from the floating path 22b (stop portion 22c) through the opening 22d rotates the rotating body 30 in the same manner as the game ball B1 that has entered the ball entry port 21a described above. It is carried to the passage frame 62 while meandering and enters the winning opening 62a. Then, the gaming machine 1 is in a big hit state in which the big winning opening 6 is opened.

On the other hand, the game ball B2 held from the floating path 22b (stop portion 22c) to the second recess 53b via the opening 22d is rearward (FIG. In 12, it is moved in the counterclockwise direction). Here, the game ball B2 held in the second recess 53b moves so as to enter under the protective body 22 and is covered with the protective body 22 and the rear wall portion 62c so as not to separate from the second recess 53b. It has become. At this time, the game ball B2 moves while meandering due to the swinging motion of the rotating body 30 (outer rotating body 50).

When the rotating body 30 further rotates about the rotation axis G3, the second recess 53b faces the outlet 61f. When the second recess 53b reaches a position facing the outlet 61f, the game ball B2 disengages from the support of the protective body 22 and the rear wall portion 62c, falls from the second recess 53b, passes through the disengagement passage 61e, and is a winning device. It is discharged from 20.

(Main effects of the first embodiment)
The gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment has a configuration in which the spherical link 34 swings the rotating body 30 in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating body 30 around the rotating shaft 31 by the motor 71. As a result, the recess 53 that moves around the axis of the rotating shaft 31 in response to the rotation of the rotating body 30 rotates while swinging. Therefore, the rotation trajectory of the recess 53 becomes more complicated than the trajectory that simply rotates around the rotation shaft 31, and it becomes difficult for the player to predict. By performing the motion of the game ball held in the recess 53 with abundant dynamic changes in this way, it is possible to maintain the player's interest in the game without making the player feel monotonous or bored.

In particular, the game ball that has entered the ball entry port 21a through the dish member 21 provided with the plurality of entry openings 21a, 21b, 21c enters the first recess 53a through the opening 22e and enters the winning opening 62a. Therefore, the player can enhance the interest in the lottery mechanism for when and which entry points 21a, 21b, and 21c are entered. Further, the game ball that has entered the ball entrances 21b and 21c is guided from the free-moving path 22b to the stop portion 22c and enters the first recess 53a or the second recess 53b that meanders through the opening 22d. Even if a person misses the chance to enter the first recess 53a from the ball entry port 21a, he / she can get a chance to enter the first recess 53a again, and it becomes difficult to predict when and which recess 53 will enter, but the expectation increases. Further, since the game ball falls from the meandering recess 53 with respect to the winning opening 62a or the exit opening 61f, it is difficult to predict whether the ball will enter the winning opening 62a or the exit opening 61f. Therefore, it becomes more difficult for the player to feel monotonous and bored, and the interest in the game can be maintained.

Further, the winning device 20 includes a free-moving path 22b in which the game ball guided by the dish member 21 floats along the outer circumference of the rotating body 30.
As a result, the game ball guided by the dish member 21 floats on the game path 22b, so that the player can be given a hobby until the game ball is held in the recess 53.

Further, the dish member 21 is located above the rotating body 30 and has entry ports 21b and 21c for guiding the game ball to the freeway 22b.
As a result, the game ball that has entered the effect device 25 via the ball entry ports 21b and 21c can be visually recognized by the player in a state of being idle on the freeway 22b before being transferred by the rotating body 30. The effect can be enhanced.

Further, the rotating body 30 is located outside the inner rotating body 40, which is rotated around the rotating shaft 31 by the motor 71, has a recess 53, and is swung by the spherical link 34. It has a body 50 and.
As a result, by combining the inner rotating body 40 having a structure of rotating around the rotating shaft 31 with the outer rotating body 50 having a structure of swinging, the recess 53 provided in the outer rotating body 50 is rotated around the rotating shaft 31. It is possible to easily realize a configuration that swings while rotating.

Further, the bevel gear 32 and the link gear 33 that swing the outer rotating body 50 based on the driving force from the motor 71 that rotates the inner rotating body 40 are provided.
As a result, by providing the bevel gear 32 and the link gear 33, it is not necessary to separately provide a motor for swinging the outer rotating body 50, and the configuration of the effect device 25 can be simplified.

Further, a part of the game ball enters the recess 53. The winning device 20 is provided with a protective body 22 that covers the rotating body 30 at a predetermined distance from the recess 53 and restricts the movement of the game ball that has entered the recess 53 in the detaching direction from the recess 53.
Thereby, when the game ball is transferred by the rotating body 30, the protective body 22 can prevent the game ball from coming off from the recess 53. Therefore, the rotating body 30 can satisfactorily transfer the game ball.

Further, the protective body 22 covers at least a part of the rotating body 30 on the front side, and the game ball held in the recess 53 is visibly and transparently formed.
As a result, even if the rotating body 30 is covered with the protective body 22, the movement of the game ball held in the recess 53 can be visually recognized.

Further, the dish member 21 is located above the rotating body 30 and has a plurality of entry ports 21a to 21c for guiding the game ball to the recess 53. The ball entry port 21a leads to the first recess 53a that directly moves the game ball to the winning opening 62a.
As a result, since the ball entry port 21a guides the game ball to the first recess 53a, it depends on which of the plurality of ball entry ports 21a to 21c in the dish member 21 the game ball enters. A kind of lottery can be done.

Therefore, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment, and FIGS. 1 to 12 are appropriately referred to, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 13B is a developed schematic view of the outer surface of the rotating body 30 (outer rotating body 50) of the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 13B, the plurality of recesses 53 include a first recess 53a, a second recess 53c, and a third recess 53d. The first recess 53a moves the held game ball to the winning opening 62a. The first recess 53a is arranged at the center position in the left-right direction on the outer surface of the rotating body 30. The second recess 53c moves the held game ball to the outlet 61f. The second recess 53c is arranged at various positions on the outer surface of the rotating body 30 from the vicinity of both ends in the left-right direction to a position slightly closer to the center. The third recess 53d (corresponding to the "third holding portion" of the present invention) moves the held game ball to the winning opening 62a or the exit opening 61f. The third recess 53d is arranged on the outer surface of the rotating body 30 at a position closer to the center than the second recess 53c in the left-right direction. Specifically, the third recess 53d is arranged in the winning path region AR1 which partially overlaps the movement path (swing path) of the first recess 53a (region group 53aR of the first recess 53a) in the left-right direction. ..

The movement of the game ball that has entered the ball entry port 21a is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the game ball passes through the opening 22e, is held in the first recess 53a, and moves to the winning opening 62a. The movement of the game ball that has entered the ball entrances 21b and 21c flows down the freeway 22b and the stop 22c, passes through the opening 22d, and passes through the opening 22d to the first recess 53a and the second recess. It is held in either 53c or the third recess 53d. The game ball held in the second recess 53c moves to the outlet 61f.

[Other embodiments]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and the drawings, and for example, the following embodiments are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

In the above-described embodiment, the number and arrangement of the recesses 53 are not limited to those described above. For example, the configuration may be such that only a recess (a recess such as the third recess 53d) for moving the held game ball to the winning opening 62a or the exit opening 61f is provided.

In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the rotating body 30 may perform a swinging motion different from the swinging motion as shown in FIGS. 10A to 10D. For example, the number of teeth of a gear such as the bevel gear 32 is different from that of the first embodiment, and when the recess 53 drops the game ball, the portion facing the recess 53 corresponds to the rotation of the rotating body 30 and is the winning opening. The configuration may change between 62a and the outlet 61f. With such a configuration, for example, even a game ball held in the first recess 53a can be entered into the outlet 61f.

In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the recess 53 is illustrated as an example of the holding portion, but a configuration in which a game ball is attracted and held by using a magnet may be used. In such a case, the falling of the game ball from the holding portion may, for example, release the suction at the front wall of the opening end of the winning opening 62a of the passage frame 62, or interfere with the protrusion portion separately formed on the frame body 61 or the like. It can be done so as to resist the holding force of the magnet by making it.

In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the outer rotating body 50 has a spherical outer shape, but may have a cylindrical or spindle-shaped outer shape.

In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the swinging motion of the rotating body 30 is performed by the rotation of the spherical link 34 arranged between the inner rotating body 40 and the outer rotating body 50, but other mechanisms are used. You may. For example, when the rotating body 30 is rotated, the protruding portion formed on the outer surface of the rotating body 30 moves so as to meander along the groove formed on the inner surface of the protective portion 22a of the protective body 22. 30 rocking motions may be performed. Further, for example, the rotating body 30 may be swung by a configuration in which the rotating shaft 31 itself is supported by the frame body 61 so as to swing with respect to the frame body 61.

In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the protective portion 22a is formed transparently, but it does not have to be transparent so that the game ball held in the recess 53 becomes invisible. As a result, when the game ball is held in the recess 53 via the openings 22d and 22e, it becomes difficult to tell which recess 53 is held, so that the effect of effect can be enhanced.

In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the winning device 20 is configured to include the effect device 25, but the effect device 25 may be configured to be independently arranged in the game area 4a. That is, the effect device 25 may be configured to enhance the effect by transferring the game ball by the rotating body 30 in the game area 4a.
