Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which a new game interest can be obtained by using a plurality of variable winning holes provided in the gaming section.

Conventionally, pachinko machines are well known in which one or more variable winning holes are opened in response to a winning signal to a specific winning hole in the gaming section, but when a variable winning hole is won in an open state, the winning hole is closed and the winning hole is closed. The ball is ejected and the interlock ends. As a result, the game lacked any sense of surprise or tension.

This invention focuses on the order of winnings in multiple open variable winning slots as a new game element, and when the preset winning order matches the winning order when actually playing the game, the player receives a special prize. It is characterized by giving profits and doubling the fun of the game.

The invention will now be described with reference to the illustrated embodiments. A substantially circular game section 3 is defined by a guide rail 2 on the surface of the game board attached to the front frame of the pachinko machine 1. The gaming section 3 is provided with a specific winning opening 4 at the upper center thereof, and variable winning openings A, B, and C are arranged below on the left, center, and right, respectively. The variable prize openings A to C are commonly known as tulips, and as is well known, they are equipped with a pair of movable wing pieces 6, 6, and these movable wing pieces 6, 6 can be changed from an upright position by a winning ball between the movable wing pieces. Lying on its side,
Alternatively, it changes from a reclining position to an upright position and opens and closes alternately.

Further, each of the variable prize openings A to C has a back box 7 projecting from the back side of the game board as shown in FIG. Rod 8 stands out. As is well known, this actuating rod 8 is provided protruding from the swinging bottom plate disposed inside the back boxes 7A to 7C, and when pressed downward, the movable blades 6, 6 are opened via the opening/closing pawl of the swinging bottom plate. It will be in an open position lying on its side.

Thus, on the top of each of the actuating rods 8,
Solenoids 9A to 9C are provided, and when these solenoids are energized, the plunger 10 pushes the actuation rod 8 downward. Solenoid 9A-9C
The winning ball presses the step board 12 provided on the winning ball guiding gutter 11 to the specific winning opening 4 and the micro switch 1 is activated.
When 3 is turned on, three of them are excited at the same time. Therefore, when a prize is won in the specific winning hole 4, the movable wing pieces 6, 6 of the three variable winning holes A to C open all at once.

The back boxes 7A to 7C of the variable winning holes A to C each have a winning ball outlet 15 when the movable wing pieces 6, 6 are entered in an open state, and a winning ball exit 16 when the movable wing pieces 6, 6 are entered in a closed state. are doing. A footboard 17 is disposed in each path connected to the winning ball exit 15 in the open state, and the footboard 17 is linked to micro-switches 18A to 18C as detectors for detecting the winning order. That is, micro switches 18A to 18
C is turned ON in order to detect the winning order of winning balls into the variable winning holes A to C in the open state.

The ON signals of the micro switches 18A to 18C are given to the priority circuit 20 as shown in FIG.
It is determined whether the closing order of ~18C and the actual order of ON signals match or not, and when they match, an output is generated.

It is assumed that the order of winnings to the variable winning openings currently set in the priority circuit 20 is A→B→C. First, when the micro switch 13 issues a winning signal to the specific winning hole 4, the variable winning holes A, B, and C open their movable wings 6, 6 all at once as described above.

For the variable winning holes A, B, and C in the open state,
When the balls hit in the order of A→B→C win, the priority circuit generates an output. Other winning order, i.e. B→C→A, B→A→C, C→A→B, C→B
→A, A→C→B does not produce an output.

The output of the priority circuit 20 is applied to the OR circuit 21 together with the ON signal of the micro switch 13, and the OR circuit 21 instantaneously excites the solenoids 9A to 9C via the one shot circuit 22 and the driver 23. Therefore, the movable wings 6, 6 of the variable winning holes A to C are opened again via the plunger 10 and the operating rod 8, and the player achieves the winning order to the variable winning holes A, B, and C. You can receive this special benefit continuously for as long as you like.

The winning order to be set by the priority circuit 20 may be constant for each pachinko machine, but the priority order setting device 2
4 may be changed as appropriate.

In this case, it is preferable to provide a priority order display 25 on the surface of the pachinko machine 1 so that the priority order at that time can be visually checked.

All winning balls are collected in a collection gutter 26 on the back of the game board, and the safe ball pulse generator 2 at the outlet of this gutter
7 issues a prize ball ejection signal for each winning ball. This prize ball ejection signal is given to a prize ball ejecting device 30 connected to the upper tank 28 and a prize ball guiding gutter 29, which removes a predetermined number (for example, 15) of prize balls for each winning ball from the ejecting gutter 31. It is discharged to the supply tray 32 on the front of the pachinko machine. A receiving tray 33 below the supply tray 32 communicates with the discharge gutter 31 through a connecting gutter 34 .

In the above embodiment, a so-called chulip was shown as the variable winning hole, but the variable winning hole of the present invention may be any type that can change between a state in which it is easy for a batted ball to enter and a state in which it is difficult to enter. It is called "Open." Also, “special interests”
In addition to the above, the prize can be awarded by any other suitable means, such as opening another variable prize opening or ejecting a special prize ball or coin.

In summary, the present invention utilizes a plurality of variable winning holes provided in the gaming section, and provides a special benefit when the order of winnings in the open variable winning holes matches the preset winning order. Therefore, it is possible to give players an interest in a new game called "winning order", and it is also possible to increase the interest in pachinko games by giving them a sense of expectation and motivation for special profits.
