Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a mechanism plate applicable to such a model that makes an outlay of prize ball numbers of one kind or two kinds by forming a second winning ball gathering space at the side of a rear face of the mechanism plate along a window opening lower edge, and installing a winning ball gathering space selector member on the upper part. CONSTITUTION:At a mechanism plate body 32 clamping a winning ball gathering space selector member 145 to a first setup state, it can use a second winning ball gathering space 24 alone, whereby a winning ball dropped out of a prize- winning area of a game machine 6 is guided into a first winning ball gathering space 24, and prize ball numbers of one kind are discharged. On the other hand, at the mechanism body 32 clamping the selector member 145 to a second setup state, an inlet of a second winning ball gathering space 157 is opened, while this gathering space 157 is extendedly formed upward, and the winning ball out of a prize-winning route 27 at the back of the game machine 6 is guided into the second winning ball gathering space 157, so that prize balls different in numbers of the winning balls guided by the first winning ball gathering space 24 are discharged. Thus, it is applicable to such a model that makes an outlay of prize balls of one kind or two kinds.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a mechanism board that is disposed on the back side of a pachinko game machine and is provided with various mechanisms for receiving winning balls and dispensing prize balls. More specifically, it can be used for game boards that pay out two types of prize balls, or for game boards that pay out one type of prize balls. This relates to a mechanism board of a gaming machine.

[Prior Art] In conventional pachinko gaming machines, when a ball hits a winning area in a plurality of winning areas provided in a gaming area of a gaming board, a certain number of prize balls are paid out. The mainstream format was that the same number of prize balls were paid out even if a prize was won in the winning area. In addition, in recent years, a small number of machines have actually been offered on the market that pay out different numbers of prize balls depending on the winning area.

In addition, the mechanism for paying out prize balls is performed by a mechanism plate placed on the back of the pachinko machine, but the mechanism for paying out prize balls is
A mechanism plate for dispensing one type of prize balls and a mechanism plate for dispensing two types of prize balls were manufactured exclusively and incorporated into each type of pachinko game machine.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, most of the pachinko machines provided on the market in recent years are so-called detachable pachinko machines in which only the game board can be easily replaced. Other parts are intended for long-term use. Therefore, if a pachinko machine installed in a game parlor is a type that pays out two types of prize balls, it can be changed to a type that pays out only one type of prize balls by replacing only the game board. If desired, the mechanism plate also had to be replaced, which was uneconomical. Of course, the opposite case was equally uneconomical.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned disadvantages, and can be applied to a game board that pays out two types of prize balls, or a game board that pays out one type of prize balls. To provide a mechanism board for a pachinko game machine that can handle the following situations.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, the mechanism plate of the present invention has the following features:
A second winning pressure gathering space is formed on the rear side of the mechanism plate along the lower edge of a window opening opened in the mechanism plate, and a second winning pressure gathering space is formed above the second winning pressure gathering space through the window opening. At the bottom of the opening, there is a winning pressure gathering space switch that can be converted into a first installation state in which the second winning pressure gathering space is closed and a second installation state in which the second winning pressure gathering space is extended upward. The device is configured to provide a member.

[Function] On the mechanism plate in which the winning pressure gathering space switching member is fixed in the first installation state, since the population of the second winning pressure gathering space is closed, only the first winning pressure gathering space can be used. The winning pressure falling from the winning area of the game board is guided to the first winning pressure gathering space and works to pay out the number of prize balls of one type.

In addition, in the mechanism plate where the winning pressure gathering space switching member is fixed in the second installation state, the entrance of the second winning pressure gathering space is open, and the second winning pressure gathering space is formed to extend upward. Therefore, if the winning path attached to the back of the game board is configured to be guided to the second winning pressure gathering space, the guided winning pressure will be guided to the second winning pressure gathering space and will be directed to the second winning pressure gathering space. It works to pay out a number of prize balls different from the winning pressure induced into the first winning pressure gathering space.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, a pachinko game machine to which this embodiment is applied will be explained with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine. In the figure, a frame-shaped front frame 2 of a pachinko game machine 1 is surrounded by a glass door holding frame 3.
A glass door frame 4 having glasses 4a and 4b and a front plate 5 are attached to the glass door holding frame 3 so as to be freely openable and closable with one side being pivotally supported. A game board 6 is removably provided in a game board mounting frame 185 (see FIGS. 5 and 17) on the rear side of the front frame 2 and behind the glass door frame 4. Further, on the surface of the front plate 5, a batted ball supply tray 7 is fixed that stores ejected prize balls and supplies them one by one to a ball firing position. Further, a ball feeding member 182 (see FIG. 2) is fixed to the back surface of the front plate 5 for feeding the batted balls one by one to the shooting position of the shooting rail 184 (see FIG. 2).

A lower part of the front frame 2 is provided with an operation handle 8 that constitutes a part of the batted ball firing mechanism and a surplus ball tray 9 for storing prize balls that cannot be stored in the batted ball supply tray 7. There is.

On the surface of the game board 6, a guide rail 10 for guiding balls guided from the launch rail 184 is installed in a substantially circular shape. The area surrounded by the guide rail 10 constitutes the gaming area 11. At approximately the center of the game area 11, there are a plurality of rotating drums 13a to 13a.
A variable winning ball device 14 having an opening/closing portion 515 is provided below the variable display device 12. The opening/closing 5i115 of this variable winning ball device 14 is the rotation drum 1 of the variable display device 12.
When the combination of 3a to 13c becomes a predetermined display state (for example, when the numbers "7" are lined up horizontally or diagonally), a specific game state is entered, and a predetermined period of time (for example, 20 seconds elapses) (or until 10 winning balls are generated). Then, when a prize is won in the specific winning opening 15a provided in the opening/closing door 15, the above-described opening state is repeated again, and the specific winning opening 1
The game can be repeated up to 10 times each time a winning ball appears in 5a.

Further, on both left and right sides of the variable display device 12 and on the upper part of the variable winning ball device 14, the rotating drums 13a to 13
Starting prize openings 16a to 16C are provided that allow the rotation of c. When a ball hits the starting winning hole 16a provided at the top of the variable winning ball device 14 among the starting winning holes 168 to 16c, the number of prize balls paid out is as follows:
The number of prize balls is set to be smaller than the number of prize balls paid out when a ball hits another winning area.

Furthermore, in the gaming area 11, normal winning holes 17a and 17b are provided on the left and right sides of the variable winning ball device 14, and
There are also normal winning holes 18a on the left and right sides of the variable winning ball device 14,
18b is provided.

In the normal winning openings 18a and 18b, when the opening/closing Ji15 is in the open state, the hit ball colliding with the side surface of the opening/closing 5ii15 is guided and it is easy to win a prize.

Therefore, the above-mentioned specific game state is entered, and the opening/closing door 1
5 is opened for a predetermined period of time, the balls are not only guided into the opening/closing door 15, but also hit the side of the opening/closing door 15 and guided to the normal winning openings 18a, 18b, so you can win a large amount of prizes in a short time. A ball will appear. In addition, in the gaming area 11, there is also a normal winning opening 1 above the variable display device 12.
9 is provided.

Of the above-mentioned winning areas, only the starting winning opening 16a is set to have a smaller number of prize balls paid out than the other winning openings or winning areas as described above, but this is due to the following reasons. by. That is, starting prize opening 16a~
16c, the number of rotations of the rotating drums 13a to 13b will be increased, and the probability of entering a specific game state will be increased. Also, prize balls will be awarded by winning in all starting winning holes 16a to 16c. This setting was made in order to balance the dissatisfaction that if the number is set to a small number, the number of prize balls paid out will be small compared to the winning percentage. In addition, in this example, as described later,
When a hit ball wins in the starting winning hole 16a, 7 prize balls are paid out, and when a hit ball wins in another winning area, 13 prize balls are paid out. There is. Of course, it is possible to change the setting of the number of prize balls to be paid out according to the probability of winning a prize in the starting winning hole 16a.

At the lowest part of the game area 11, there is provided an out port 20 through which balls that do not win in any of the winning areas described above are guided to the rear of the game board 6.

A winning collection cover 21 is fixed to the back side of the game board 6. As shown in FIG. 4, this winning upper assembly cover 21 includes a first winning upper assembly cover 22 that covers the upper part of the gaming area 11 from the center thereof, and a first winning upper assembly cover 22 that extends from the middle of the gaming area 11 to the outlet. 20, and a second upper collection cover 23 covering the parts up to 20. The first winning upper collecting cover 22 and the second winning upper collecting cover 23 are provided at a predetermined distance from the back surface of the game board 6 (width slightly larger than the diameter of the pachinko ball), It constitutes a part of the first winning space 24 (the upper part of the first winning ball gathering space 24) where the winning balls that have won the winning area fall between it and the back surface of the game board 6. In addition,
The lower part of the first winning ball gathering space 24 is formed on the front side of the mechanism plate 31, as will be described later.

Winning paths 25a to 25d are formed in the first winning upper collecting cover 22 in correspondence with each of the above-mentioned winning openings, and each winning ball is guided to both left and right sides and falls into the first winning ball collecting space 24. I'm letting you do it. That is, a winning path 25a is formed corresponding to the normal winning opening 19, and a winning path 25a is formed corresponding to the starting winning opening 16b.
, 16c, and winning paths 25b and 25c are formed, and a winning path 25d is formed corresponding to the starting winning opening 16a. And, at the exit part of the winning paths 25b to 25d, there is a starting winning ball detection switch 2 for detecting winning balls.
6a to 26c are respectively provided, and detection signals derived from the starting winning ball detection switches 26a to 26c are sent to a control circuit in a circuit board 167, which will be described later, to start rotating the rotating drums 13a to 13c. ing.

Among the entry prize paths 25a to 25d, a second winning path 27 is further provided at the end of the winning path 25d corresponding to the starting winning hole 16a so as to extend continuously downward, and the winning balls of the second winning path 27 are The exit 28 faces a second winning ball gathering space 157, which will be described later, so as to communicate with it. In addition,
This second winning path 27 is covered at the rear by the second winning ball collecting cover 23. In addition, the winning balls that have won in the winning openings 17a, 17b, 18a, 18b other than those mentioned above and the opening/closing Jjil 15 are not guided to the winning route, but are regulated by the second winning ball collection cover 23. The winning balls are made to fall within the no. 1 winning ball gathering space 24.

In addition, approximately in the center of the first winning ball collection cover 22,
An opening 29 is opened so that the drive section 12a of the variable display device 12 projects rearward, and furthermore, an opening/closing solenoid 30 is fixed below the opening 29 for driving the opening/closing @i5 of the variable winning ball device 14. has been done.

In addition, in FIG. 4, the second winning ball collection cover 23
This is necessary for a game that pays out different numbers of prizes depending on the winning slots arranged on the game board 6, and if all the winning slots win prizes. For a type in which only the same number of prize balls are paid out at each time, only the first winning ball collecting cover 22 needs to be provided.

On the back side of the pachinko game machine 1, as shown in FIG. 5, a mechanism plate 31 having various mechanisms for ejecting prize balls is provided so as to be openable and closable.

This mechanism plate 31 will be explained mainly with reference to an exploded perspective view of the mechanism plate 31 shown in FIG. The mechanism plate 31 consists of a roughly rectangular mechanism plate main body 32 molded from synthetic resin with various mechanisms assembled therein, and the first winning ball collecting cover 22 and It has a recessed part that accommodates the second winning ball collecting cover 23, and the lower part of the recessed part constitutes the lower part of the first winning ball collecting space 24. Further, the lower end of the concave portion constitutes a first winning ball collecting gutter 33 (see FIG. 1). This first winning ball collecting gutter 33 is provided to be inclined so as to guide the winning balls that have fallen through the first winning ball collecting space 24 to one side, and has an outlet (
(not shown) communicates with a winning ball guide passage 89a of a winning ball processing mechanism 86, which will be described later. Further, a first passage side wall 34 is provided upright on the game board 6 side of the first winning ball gathering gutter 33. Slanted surfaces 34a to 34c are formed on a part of the upper end of the first passage side wall 34 to smoothly guide falling winning balls to the first winning ball collecting gutter 33. In addition, by sandwiching the first winning ball collecting gutter 33 between the mechanism plate main body 32 and the first passage side wall 34 to form a passage through which the winning balls flow down, the winning balls are transferred to the game board 6 made of plywood. It is possible to smoothly flow down the first winning ball collection gutter 33 without contacting the back surface.

On the other hand, to explain the configuration of the rear side of the mechanism plate main body 32, a prize ball tank mounting recess 35 is formed in the upper part thereof,
A prize ball tank 36 is screwed and fixed to the prize ball tank mounting recess 35. The prize ball tank 36 stores prize balls supplied from a supply mechanism (not shown), and as shown in FIG. 7, its internal structure allows the prize balls stored in the prize ball tank 36 to be directed in one direction. A rectangular flow opening 37 is provided at the lower end of the flow. Further, a ball overflow prevention member 38 is attached to the rear upper end of the prize ball tank 36 to prevent stored prize balls from overflowing and falling due to vibration or the like.

Below the prize ball tank 36, a first prize ball guide gutter 39 and a second prize ball guide gutter 40 for arranging the prize balls are provided so as to overlap in the front and rear direction. The first prize ball guiding gutter 39 and the second prize ball guiding gutter 40 are installed at an angle so that the prize balls can flow down naturally. In addition, in the center of the first prize ball guide gutter 39, an alignment gutter wall 41 that is formed to become higher toward the bottom is erected to form passages 42a and 42b.

The prize balls flow down 42b in two lines (see Figure 7). The second prize ball guide gutter 40 forms a passage 42c with the side wall of the first prize ball guide gutter 39,
The prize balls flow down in a line. Although the first prize ball guiding gutter 39 and the second prize ball guiding gutter 40 may be formed integrally, the prize ball guiding gutter may be formed by dividing into two parts as in this embodiment. The reason is that in a game where the game board 6 is replaced and only the number of prize balls of one type is paid out, only the first prize ball guiding gutter 39 is sufficient; in this case, the second prize ball guide channel 39 is sufficient. This is because the guide gutter 40 may be removed and used.

Of course, even if the first prize ball guiding gutter 39 and the second prize ball guiding gutter 40 are integrally formed, it is possible to accommodate a format in which only one type of prize ball number is paid out. In this case, measures may be taken to prevent the prize balls from flowing from the prize ball tank 36 to the second prize ball guiding gutter 40.

Further, a ball shortage detection plate 43 for detecting a shortage of prize balls is swingably provided on the upstream side of the first prize ball guide gutter 39 and the second prize ball guide gutter 40. The transmission rod 44 connected to the ball 43 operates the actuating member 45 so as not to supply the ball to the ball firing position.

Further, when the ball shortage detection plate 43 is activated, a detection switch (not shown) is activated, and a notification lamp (not shown) provided on the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on to notify the player of the fact, and the game is stopped. The signal is sent to the venue management computer to activate a replenishment mechanism (not shown) to replenish the prize ball tank 36 with prize balls.

In the middle of the first prize ball guiding gutter 39 and the second prize ball guiding gutter 40, ball leveling members 46a, 46b are swingably provided on a rotary shaft 47 protruding from the mechanism plate main body 32. It is being These ball leveling members 46a and 46b are used to align prize balls that sometimes flow down the first prize ball guide gutter 39 and the second prize ball guide gutter 40 in two levels, one above the other, into a single level. It is.

Further, in the middle of the first prize ball guiding gutter 39 and the second prize ball guiding gutter 40, a ball stopper 48 is rotatably fixed to a shaft pin 49 protruding from the mechanism plate main body 32 with a screw 49a. ing. This ball stopper 48 is used to stop prize balls from falling when testing various mechanisms provided on the mechanism plate 31, and its structure is as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. It has a rake-like shape, and its distal end is formed with locking pawls 50a to 50c that enter the respective guide passages 42a to 42c, and its base end is formed with a sliding hole 52, and the sliding hole 52 is formed at its base end. A sliding plate 53 is housed in the moving hole 52 while being biased by a return spring 54 and being held between the back cover 51 and the sliding plate 53 . The sliding plate 53 has a guide protrusion 53a that protrudes upward and an engagement protrusion 53b that protrudes laterally. There is. Further, the engagement protrusion 53b is always urged to protrude by the return spring 54, and is adapted to engage with an engagement convex portion 55 protruding from the mechanism plate main body 32. In other words, Fig. 9 (
As shown in a), when engaging with the lower end of the engaging protrusion 55, the positional relationship is such that the locking claws 50a to 50c enter the guide passages 42a to 42c, and Since the mating protrusion 53b and the engaging protrusion 55 maintain the engaged position, the ball stopper 48 is prevented from rotating upward and the prize balls are reliably prevented from flowing down. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9(b),
When engaging with the upper end of the engagement convex portion 55,
The locking claws 50a to 50C are retracted from the guide passages 42a to 42c, and the engagement protrusion 53b and the engagement protrusion 55 maintain the engaged position, so the ball stopper 48 does not rotate downward. In this way, the locking claws 50a to 50
c intrusion into the guide passages 42a to 42c is reliably prevented. In order to rotate the ball stopper 48, move the guide protrusion 53a with your finger against the biasing force of the return spring 54, continue to rotate it,
This can be easily done by removing your finger from the guide protrusion 53a after that.

A bent portion 56 is attached to the downstream side of the first prize ball guiding gutter 39 and the second prize ball guiding gutter 40 so as to be connected thereto. This bent portion 56 is connected to the first prize ball guiding gutter 39.
The second prize ball guide gutter 40 is provided to change the direction of the prize balls flowing down by 180 degrees and to weaken the earth pressure of the prize balls that are continuously flowing down. A bead-shaped lever 57 is provided at the bent part of the bent part 56, and when pressed with a push pin from the front of the pachinko game machine 1, the bead-shaped lever 57 and the wall constituting the bent part 56 are disengaged and the ground is removed. The pressure releases the beaded lever 57, and the prize balls stored in the prize ball tank 36, the first prize ball guide gutter 39, and the second prize ball guide gutter 40 flow down the ball extraction passage 63, which will be described later. It is designed to be discharged outside the pachinko game machine 1. Incidentally, in order to re-engage the constituting wall of the beaded lever 57 and the bent portion 56, it is necessary to push the pin again from the front of the pachinko game machine 1.

In addition, ball deficiency detection plates 58a to 58C are installed on the shaft pin 60 in a substantially downwardly inclined passageway downstream of the bent portion 56.
It is swingable around the center. As shown in FIG. 10, these ball deficiency detection plates 58a to 58c are
It has a shape of ``<'', and its tip end from the shaft pin 60 is bent part 5.
Soil placing portions 61a to 61c facing into the rear end portions 61a to 61c are formed with engaging hook portions 59a to 59c at the distal end of the rear end portion. Therefore, when there is a prize ball in the bent portion 56, the ball shortage detection plates 58a to 58c detect that the soil placement portions 61a to 61c are pressed by the prize ball and flip the engaging hook portions 59a to 59c outward. If the condition is maintained and, conversely, there are no more prize balls in the bent portion 56, the soil placement portions 61a to 61c will rotate upward due to their own weight, and the engaging hook portions 59a to 59c will hang down in a substantially vertical direction. state. When the control protrusions 76a and flo b, which will be described later, rise in such a hanging state, the engaging portions 77a of the control protrusions 76a and 76b,
77b engages with the engaging hooks 59a to 59c, and the control protrusion 7
6a, 78b in a raised position;
Ultimately, the prize balls are no longer paid out. This operation will be detailed later.

Further, a substantially vertical hammer portion 56a is formed at the downstream portion of the bent portion 56, and a stepped portion 56b is formed at the end of the vertical hammer portion 56a. The vertical mallet portion 56a is selected to have a length such that a slightly larger number of prize balls can be stored in the prize ball storage tubes 67a to 67c, which will be described later. This works to weaken the earth pressure so that upper ball stoppers 69a and 69b of the prize ball case 65, which will be described later, operate smoothly.

The above-mentioned bent portion 56 is attached so as to be surrounded by substantially “L”-shaped vertical walls 62a to 62C protruding from the back surface of the mechanism plate main body 32. and vertical walls 62a, 6
2b is a prize ball discharge passage 6 through which the prize balls to be paid out flow down.
The vertical walls 62b and 62c constitute the side walls of the ball-drawing passage 63 through which the prize balls discharged by the ball-shaped lever 57 flow down. In addition, the vertical gutter 62a
is cut at its bent part in order to intersect with a winning ball collection gutter 153, which will be described later, and its end is connected to a vertical wall 127a that constitutes a surplus ball passage 126, which will be described later. Further, the vertical wall 62b serves as a side wall for forming a merging passage 131, which will be described later, at its end.

Note that the merging passage 131 is composed of the other vertical wall 127b that constitutes the surplus ball passage 126 and the vertical wall 62b.

A prize ball case 65 is arranged downstream of the bent portion 56. This prize ball case 65 includes a mounting plate 68, prize ball storage tubes 67a to 67c, and upper ball stoppers 69a and 69.

It is rotatably supported on the shaft. The support plate 83 is fixed to attachment bosses 84a and 84b protruding from the mechanism plate main body 32. Further, the upper ends of interlocking rods 85a, 85b are connected to approximately the center of the operating members 81a, 81'b, and these connecting rods 85a, 85b are moved in the vertical direction by rotating members 95a, 95b that are actuated by winning pressure, which will be described later. The actuating members 81a and 81b are rotated about the support shaft 82 in response to the movement of the actuating members 81a and 81b. Furthermore, the vertical sliding members 75a and 75b slide in the vertical direction in accordance with the rotation of the operating member.

At the lower ends of the interlocking rods 85a and 85b, there is a winning pressure processing mechanism 86.
is associated. As shown in detail in FIG. 12, this winning pressure processing mechanism 86 consists of two partition plates 8 placed at a predetermined distance on a mounting plate 87 attached to the mechanism plate main body 32.
8a and 88b are attached. A mechanism for processing winning pressure is arranged in two spaces constituted by these three plates in total. First, the first
winning pressure collecting gutter 33 and a second winning pressure collecting gutter 15 to be described later.
At the ends of the winning pressure guiding passages 89a, 89b communicating with each winning ball outlet 155 of 3 (however, the winning ball outlet of the first winning pressure gathering gutter 33 is not shown), winning soil placement parts 90a, 9 are installed.

is designed to rotate left and right. In addition, return springs 103a, 103b are locked slightly above the support shafts 102 of the extrusion members 99a, 99b, so that the extrusion members 99a, 99b are always urged in the opposite direction to the winning ball mounting lips 90a, 90b. It has become so. In addition, since the two rotating rollers 101a and 101b are fixed to the motor shaft 106 with their phases shifted from each other, the extrusion member 9
9a and 99b are never rotated. This reduces the load on the rotary motor 105, eliminates the need to process winning pressures with different numbers of prize balls at the same time, and makes it possible to notify the player of the difference in the number of prize balls paid out. It has become.

Winning ball discharge passages 107a and 107b are formed on one side of the winning pressure mounting parts 90a and 90b, through which the winning pressure pushed out by the extruding members 99a and 99b is discharged. Win detection members 108a and 108b forming one side wall of the winning ball discharge passages 107a and 107b are provided to be swingable around a support shaft 109. A detection switch 11 is provided on one side of the winning detection members 108a and 108b.

Then, the player can use the winning pressure display lamps 114a, 114.
By lighting up one of b, it can be known that the displayed number of prize balls has been dispensed.

Of course, it is also possible to use only one winning pressure display lamp and not to notify which winning pressure has occurred. In this case, the two above-mentioned winning a prize detecting members may be combined into one so that it can be swung by any winning pressure, and the number of detection switches may be reduced to one.

In addition, winning ball detectors 112a and 112b are attached to the protective plate 113 at the ends of the winning ball discharge passages 107a and 1.07b.
installed by. This winning ball detector 112
a and 112b are for sending signals to a management computer installed in the gaming parlor, and are provided for creating business data for the pachinko gaming machine 1. Further, a metal protection plate 115 is attached to the front surface (game board side) of the mounting plate 87 to prevent fraudulent acts against the winning pressure processing mechanism 86 from the front of the pachinko game machine 1.

The operation of the winning pressure processing mechanism 86 configured as above will be explained with reference to FIGS. 13 to 16. Note that Figures 13 to 16 show the front side, that is, the mechanism in which seven prize balls are paid out, but the back side, that is, the mechanism in which 13 prize balls are paid out, are also shown. Since they are the same, their explanation will be omitted. First, prize ball case 6
The state No. 5 is the first state described above as shown in FIG. 13, that is, the upper work stopper 69b is opened, a predetermined number of prize balls (7 pieces) are stored in the prize ball storage cylinder 67c, and the lower work is stopped. A state in which the stopper part 73c of the stopper 71b enters the prize ball storage tube 67c is maintained.

In such a first state, the winning pressure that flows down the second winning ball detector 153 to be described later and is guided from the winning ball outlet 155 to the winning pressure guiding passage 89b causes the stopper member 91b to move in the opposite direction as shown in the figure. The winning soil is placed on the winning soil placement section 90b while being rotated clockwise. Then, the rotating cam 104b, which is constantly rotating, hits the rotating roller 101b of the pushing member 99b.
The push-out member 99b is rotated so as to come into contact with and push the push-out member 99b forward. As the extrusion member 99b rotates, the winning pressure on the winning soil placement part 90b moves in the extrusion direction, but at this time, as shown in FIG. 14, the winning pressure on the extrusion member 99
It moves while being held between the pressing surface portion 100b of b and the winning legal contact surface portion 97b of the rotating member 95b. Also, at this time, since the engagement portion 93b of the stopper member 91b and the engagement convex portion 96b of the rotating member 95b are disengaged, the rotating member 95b rotates in the counterclockwise direction shown in the figure. do. Rotating member 95
b rotates, the front end of the engaging convex portion 96b rotates the stopper member 91b clockwise and engages the abutting portion 9.
4b intrudes so as to close the end of the winning pressure guiding passage 89b to prevent the next winning pressure from being placed on the winning soil placement portion 90b. At the same time, the interlocking rod 85b rises to rotate the actuating member 81b upward. Then, the vertical sliding member 75b rises, and the upper work stopper 69
The rear end of b comes into contact with the lower part of the contact recess 78b of the control protrusion 76b, and the tip of the superstructure stopper 69b enters the entrance of the prize ball storage tube 67c, so that the prize ball enters the prize ball storage tube 67c.
Lock it to prevent it from flowing inside. Further, since the contact convex portion 79b of the vertical sliding member 75b and the contact roller 74b of the substructure stopper 71b are disengaged, the substructure stopper 71b becomes free, and therefore the prize ball storage tube 6
The stopper part 73c is pressed and rotated by the earth pressure of the prize balls in the prize ball 7c, and a predetermined number of prize balls stored in the prize ball storage cylinder 67c are discharged into the prize ball discharge passage 64.

When a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out as described above, as shown in FIG.
As the extrusion member 99b further rotates, the winning ball held between the winning ball and the winning ball 9b comes off from the winning ball placement section 90b and falls into the winning ball discharging passage 107b. Then, the rotating member 9
5b rotates clockwise and returns to its original state, and accordingly the interlocking rod 85b and the vertical sliding member 75b descend, fixing the substructure stopper 71b again, and opening the superstructure stopper 69b. Then, the prize ball is guided into the prize ball storage tube 67c. Also, at this time, the stopper member 91b
Since the soil is returned to its original state by the rotation of the rotating member 95a, the next winning soil waiting at the end of the prize guiding path 89b is allowed to flow down and moves to the winning soil placement section 90b as described above. Repeat the action.

In addition, the winning balls discharged to the winning ball discharging passage 107b,
The detection switch 110b and the winning ball detector 112a are activated, and the winning balls are discharged from the pachinko gaming machine 1 through the winning ball discharge port 130, joining the pressure relief passage 63.

The case where the ball shortage detection plate 58c is activated will be explained with reference to FIG. 16. When the ball shortage detection plate 58c is activated due to a shortage of prize balls in the bending gutter 56, the engaging hook portion 59c is almost It hangs down as if in a vertical position. At that time, when the interlocking rod 85b rises due to the existence of a winning prize, the control protrusion 76b of the vertical sliding member 75b also rises, and the engaging part 77b engages with the engaging hook part 59c, causing the vertical sliding. This causes the moving member 75b to be held in the raised position.

Holding the vertical sliding member 75b in the elevated position means that on the prize ball case 65 side, the tip of the superstructure stopper 69b is connected to the prize ball storage tube 67.
This prevents prize balls from entering the entrance of c and introducing the prize balls into the prize ball storage cylinder 67c, and the substructure stopper 71b is in a free state. On the other hand, on the winning prize processing mechanism 86 side, since the rotating member 95b maintains the state of being rotated counterclockwise, the contact portion 94b of the stopper member 91b enters the end of the winning prize guiding path 89b. Then, the next winning prize is locked.

However, since the prize balls are held in such a state, the prize balls are not supplied onto the winning soil placement section 90b, and the prize balls are not paid out.
Since the rotary motor 105 only rotates reciprocally as a result of the rotation motor 105, no extra load is applied to the rotary motor 105.

With the configuration described above, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out, and the paid out prize balls are discharged into the prize ball discharging passage 64 as described above. A bell 121 is provided in the middle of this prize ball discharge passage 64, as shown in FIG. 6, and makes a sound when the prize balls collide with each other. A guide gutter 122 is provided protrudingly. In front of the guide gutter 122, there is a guide opening 122a (fifth

This constitutes a winning ball gathering space that is wider than the depth width of . That is, in this case, the first winning ball gathering space 24
and a second winning ball gathering space 157 to be described later. Therefore, the winning ball gathering space switching member 145 can change the lower window opening 141 to only the first person rental ball gathering space 24, or the first winning ball gathering space 24 and the second winning ball gathering space 157. It can be used in both spaces. Note that the winning ball collection space switching member 145 is fixed in each installed state by a screw 149, but the conversion can be easily performed by removing the screw 149.

Further, a winning ball collection gutter forming member 150 is attached and fixed along the lower edge of the lower window opening 141.
