Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine equipped with a switch that is operated by a player depending on the content of the game.

(Prior Art) Pachinko gaming machines have been devised in the past that are equipped with various central accessories. For example, in a machine that is equipped with a so-called throttle game as a central accessory, when a game ball enters the starting slot, a number etc. symbols fluctuate, and - after a certain period of time has elapsed, or the player presses the fluctuation time shortening switch provided at the bottom of the front frame.
When I is pressed, the microswitch in the fluctuation time reduction switch is activated and the symbol fluctuations are stopped. When the symbols at the time of stopping become a predetermined specific combination, a variable prize winning device is activated, making it much easier for game balls to win prizes, and it is possible to win striped prize balls in a short time.

Moreover, some central ornaments do not use a variable time reduction switch, for example, so-called airplane type ornaments.

By the way, if the game content of a pachinko machine is always the same, players will get bored, so in order to attract players' interest, gaming halls refresh the game content of pachinko machines at regular intervals. . When changing the i&2 technique content,
Generally, only the game board is replaced, and the game ball launcher and 0:
Do not replace the 1st frame, etc. Here, you can change the game content to be different.
! When changing the game content to type I, for example, when changing the game content from the above-mentioned slot machine game to the airplane type, the variable time reduction switch is not used in the airplane type, so the change time reduction switch is changed at the same time as replacing the game board. Remove the microswitch and fix it so that the push button of the variable time reduction switch cannot be pressed. In this way, removing the microswitch or fixing the push button is caused by the player accidentally pressing the button 20 and pressing the button S.
[This is to prevent the mechanical life of the + and microswitch from being shortened.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In conventional pachinko gaming machines, the central accessory uses a variable time reduction switch, such as a throttle game, where a microswitch is attached using a fixture, and the central accessory does not use a variable time reduction switch, such as a throttle game. When it was an airplane type, the microswitch was removed and a fixing part was attached to prevent the push button from moving. In this way, in conventional pachinko machines, fixing parts were manufactured separately from the mounting fixtures for when the variable time reduction switch was not used. There was a drawback.

Further, it is complicated and undesirable for the game parlor to have to provide fixing parts in addition to the microswitch mounting tool in order to change the game content.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko game machine that can reduce the number of parts and is easy to maintain.

[Means to solve the problem]

To achieve the above object, the present invention includes a microswitch that can be attached and detached depending on the content of the game, a fixture for attaching the microswitch, and a player who can turn on and off the microswitch according to the content of the game.
