<Description of features of pachinko machines>
As described above, the lower stage 77 is provided at the lower end of the inside of the center member 26 so as to slope forward downward. A pair of left and right slide bodies 41A and 41B are provided so as to be able to approach and separate from each other. In addition, in the center of the front end of the lower stage 77, there is provided a non-electric accessory 40 which is a specific prize winning opening for executing an internal lottery to be described later when a game ball wins. A balun-like body 51, which is a movable obstruction that changes the flow path of the game ball, is provided near the left edge of the lower stage 77 at a substantially intermediate position in the front-rear direction. At the right edge of the lower stage 77 (a position symmetrical to the balun-shaped body 51 with respect to the center of the lower stage 77), a shape symmetrical to the upper portion of the balun-shaped body 51 (the portion protruding from the lower stage 77) is formed. A projection 54 is fixed (the projection 54 is not movable).

The upper portion of the balun-shaped body 51 has a shape that imitates a balun (a partition placed between pieces of sushi material inside a sushi oke), and the lower portion (engagement portion 52) is a driving force. It is engaged with the tip of the cylinder of the solenoid 53, which is a device. The balun-shaped body 51 always operates according to commands from the main control device 61, regardless of whether or not a game ball has entered the center member 26, which game state, etc., from the time the power is turned on. , and the solenoid 53 reciprocates in the left-right direction at irregular timing according to a predetermined operation pattern.

The power-on timing of the solenoid 91 for swinging the balun-shaped body 51 left and right is controlled according to the power-on pattern stored in the storage means of the main controller 61 . FIG. 6 shows the power-on pattern. When power is supplied to the pachinko machine 1, in step S1, power is applied to the solenoid for 0.08 seconds, thereby turning on the balun-like body. 51 slides to the right. The balun-shaped body 51 slides until the engaging portion 52 contacts the edge of the notch 55 (that is, the sliding distance of the balun-shaped body 51 is limited by the notch 55).

After the balun-shaped body 51 has slid to the right as described above, the power supply to the solenoid is shut off for 0.48 seconds in S2, so that the balun-shaped body 51 is pushed by the biasing force of the spring (not shown) of the solenoid. , it slides to the left and returns to its original position and holds that state. Further, after the balun-shaped body 51 is held in the stopped state at the left position, the balun-shaped body 51 is slid to the right by turning on the solenoid for 0.08 second in S3. Further, after the balun-shaped body 51 has slid to the right side, in S4, power supply to the solenoid is shut off for 0.56 seconds, so that the balun-shaped body 51 is moved to the left side by the biasing force of the spring of the solenoid. to return to its original position and hold that position. Then, the balun-shaped body 51 reciprocates in the horizontal direction by energizing/interrupting the solenoid as described above, based on the power supply pattern S1 to S30, and the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is interrupted. Until (for example, until the hall closes), reciprocating motion in the horizontal direction is repeatedly executed based on the power-on pattern S1 to S30.

<Pachinko machine game content>
In the pachinko machine 1 constructed as described above, the player rotates the handle 9 to operate the shooting device 10, shoots the game ball into the game area 16 through the shooting passage 13, and shoots the game ball into the game area 16. to enter the center member 26 into the entrance 31 (winning a prize). Then, when the game ball that has entered (won a prize) into the entry port 31 wins the starting port 22 or the non-electric accessory 40 while flowing down the entry port 31, the main control device 61 performs an internal lottery (so-called When a "jackpot lottery" is executed and the result of the "jackpot lottery" becomes a "jackpot", a predetermined "jackpot pattern" is displayed in the special pattern display section 78 and the performance display section 6 respectively (for example, "7, 7" is displayed on the effect display unit 6), and the tulip-type electric accessory 17, which is a large winning device provided on the right side of the distribution mechanism 82, is intermittently opened for a predetermined number of times ( A pair of left and right door members tilts outward respectively). Therefore, when the "jackpot state" occurs, the player can win many game balls with a very high probability.

In addition, the non-electric accessary 40 is opened when the game ball enters the operation opening 19 provided on the stage (the upper parts of the pair of left and right door bodies 46, 46 are opened so as to separate from each other). ), it is possible to enter the game ball from the left and right outside of the upper opening 45 . Conversely, when a game ball enters the non-electric accessory 40 in the open state (enters from the opening 45 or the left and right outside of the opening 45), the non-electric accessory 40 is closed (the pair of left and right doors 46 , 46 are close to each other, see FIG. 5, etc.).

Further, when a game ball enters the entry port 31 of the center member 26, each member of the center member 26 changes the flow path of the subsequent game ball in an extremely varied manner. That is, the game ball entering the inlet 31 of the center member 26 is passed through the game ball passages 33 and 34 by the second sorting device 81 to the left game ball flow path 32A or the right game ball flow path 32B. (In addition, when the game ball enters the entrance 31 in a single shot, the second distribution device 81 distributes the game ball to the left game ball flow path 32A, and if two or more game balls are consecutive When the player enters the entry port 31, the second and subsequent game balls are distributed to the game ball flow path 32B on the right side. Then, when the game ball that has entered the entrance 31 is distributed to the game ball flow path 32B on the right side, the game ball collides with the sushi neta-like protrusion 48 after being guided to the croon 30, and a part of it is The game balls other than those entering the starting port 22 are guided to the passage member 60. - 特許庁

The game ball guided to the passage member 60 as described above enters the gap between the pair of left and right slide bodies 41A and 41B of the passage width changing accessory 71, and is guided onto the lower stage 77. It flows down from the rear to the front. In addition, since the channel width changing accessory 71 operates so that the pair of left and right slide bodies 41A and 41B widens and narrows the gap, the game ball rolls (flows down) on the lower stage 77. changes the flow pattern.

That is, when the game ball flowing down the passage member 60 falls to the side of the passage width changing accessory 71, as shown in FIG. In the situation where it takes a lot of time until the game ball, the lateral width of the game ball passage in the channel width changing accessory 71 is sufficiently wide for the game ball. In such a case, the fact that the upper surface of the floor 42 positioned below between the slides 41A and 41B is a slanted surface also acts, and the game ball dropped between the slides 41A and 41B While fluttering left and right, it rolls out onto the lower stage 77 from the left and right outer sides of the floor body 42 with a high probability. Therefore, the probability that the game ball wins the non-electric accessory 40 becomes low.

On the other hand, when the game ball flowing down the passage member 60 falls to the side of the passage width changing accessory 71, as shown in FIG. In a situation where the time required for reaching the point is short, the game ball that falls between the slide bodies 41A and 41B will be sandwiched between the vertical surfaces inside the slide bodies 41A and 41B, and the floor body It settles down at the central portion of 42 and rolls out to the center of the upper surface of the lower stage 77 via the guideway 76 with a high probability. Therefore, the probability that the game ball wins the non-electric accessory 40 is increased. It should be noted that the game ball falling from the passage member 60 in the direction of the flow path width changing accessory 71 does not necessarily fall between the slide bodies 41A and 41B, but passes through other places to reach the lower stage 77. There may be situations where you fall off.

On the other hand, when a game ball that has entered the entry port 31 of the center member 26 is distributed to the game ball flow path 32A provided on the left side of the center member 26 by the second distribution device 81, one of the game balls are guided to the passage member 60, and the other game balls are directly guided from the lower ball guide path 43 provided below the game ball flow path 32A without being interfered by the flow path width changing accessories 71. is guided onto the lower stage 77. In addition, the game ball guided to the passage member 60 enters between the pair of left and right slide bodies 41A and 41B of the passage width changing accessory 71 as in the case of being distributed to the game ball passage 32B, and then descends. It is guided onto the stage 77 and rolls (flows down) on the lower stage 77 from rear to front.

Then, the game ball guided onto the lower stage 77 via the channel width changing accessory 71 and directly guided onto the lower stage 77 without being interfered by the channel width changing accessory 71 The game ball rolls from the rear to the front on the lower stage 77, and part of it collides with the balun-shaped body 51 reciprocating left and right to change the flowing direction. Therefore, the game ball flowing down in the direction of the opening 45 of the non-electric accessory 40 collides with the balun-shaped body 51 and does not win a prize. A situation occurs in which the game ball flowing down in the direction collides with the balun-shaped body 51 and wins the non-electric accessory 40.例文帳に追加

In addition, a game ball that has entered the entrance 31 of the center member 26 is guided directly onto the lower stage 77 through the lower ball path 43 (without being interfered by the flow path width changing accessories 71). In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, some of the game balls collide with the projecting pieces 44a of the slide body 41A reciprocating left and right to change the flowing direction, and then the balun-shaped body 51 collide with and change the flow direction in various directions. As a result, the game ball after colliding with the balun-shaped body 51 is guided from the left side of the opening 45 of the non-electric accessory 40 to the discharge port (that is, the entrance for flowing the game ball out of the center member 26) 47. (path α), enters the non-electric accessory 40 from the opening 45 (path β), is led to the discharge port 47 from the right side of the opening 45 (path γ), or enters the operation port 19. (path .delta.), collide with the projecting piece 44b of the slide body 41B reciprocating left and right (path .epsilon.). In the pachinko machine 1, as described above, it is guided to the top of the lower stage 77 via the lower ball path 43, collides with the projecting piece 44a of the slide body 41A, and then collides with the balun-shaped body 51, thereby The shape, structure, etc. of each member are adjusted so that the ratio of game balls entering into 19 is higher than the ratio of game balls entering into operation port 19 in other flow-down manners.

When the game ball eventually wins the non-electric accessory 40, the internal lottery is executed by the main controller 61 as described above, and a "jackpot" can occur. Therefore, the player is highly interested in the manner in which the game ball flows down inside the center member 26 .
