Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine, and in particular, for example, first and second display means that can be variably displayed in a plurality of display states are provided on a board of a pachinko game machine, and a A first specific area and a second specific area are provided, and when a pachinko ball hit by a player passes through the first specific area, the first display means is varied and the second specific area is changed. When the second display means passes, the second display means is varied, and based on which of the display state displayed by the first display means and the display state displayed by the second display means becomes the predetermined display state first, This invention relates to a new pachinko game machine that provides a certain value.

In general, pachinko gaming machines have become widespread and are popular among players as one of the convenient cash registers.
As is well known, pachinko machines are equipped with multiple safe holes and a winning ball device (Yakumono, commonly known as tulip) on the board, and when a player drives a purchased pachinko ball along the board. A fixed number of prize balls are paid out each time a pachinko ball hits a safe hole or a prize ball with a certain probability. In such pachinko machines, the only operation required by the player is to insert the purchased pachinko ball into the ball waiting hole and hit the pachinko ball with the ball handle, and the hit pachinko ball simply goes into the safe hole or the yakumono hole. Since prize balls are paid out as prizes depending on whether the player wins or not, the game tends to be monotonous. Therefore, by adding some other mechanism to the pachinko machine and operating that mechanism according to certain conditions, we have developed a new system that allows the player to win more prize balls. If pachinko machines were proposed, players would be able to enjoy the game even more.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a new pachinko game machine that can double the player's interest by adding some other mechanism to the pachinko game machine.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko game machine in which a player can increase the number of prize balls that can be obtained when winning by competing with a virtual opponent while playing pachinko alone. That's true.

The above objects and other objects and features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description with reference to the drawings.

To summarize the invention, first and second display means are provided on the board of a pachinko game machine, and the first and second display means are capable of changing the display state in a predetermined order among a plurality of types of display states, and the first and second display means are provided on the board of a pachinko game machine, A first specific area and a second specific area are provided. The display state of the first display means is sequentially varied in response to the pachinko ball hit by the player passing through the first specific area, and the display state of the first display means is sequentially varied in response to the pachinko ball being hit by the player passing through the second specific area. Varying the display state of the second display means,
The victory or defeat between the player and the virtual opponent is determined depending on which of the first or second display means reaches a predetermined display state first. Then, if the player wins, a certain value is given to the player.

A prize ball payout opening 181 is provided.

FIGS. 2A and 2B are detailed views of the race course-shaped display 20 as an example of the first specific area and the first and second display means, which are the features of the present invention. In particular, for example, FIG. Its front view is shown, and FIG. 2B is its longitudinal sectional view. Next, the second
Referring to FIG. A and FIG. 2B, the pachinko ball passing area 15 and the horse race course type display 2 provided on the front panel of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment are shown.
The detailed structure of 0 will be explained.

The pachinko ball passing area 15 is made up of, for example, a plurality of passing areas 151 to 154, and is determined so that a predetermined score is given according to passing through each passing area 151 to 154. In the illustration, a case is shown in which different points (3 points, 4 points, 5 points, 6 points) are determined to be given to each of the passing regions 151 to 154. Note that the number of pachinko ball passing areas 15 may be one, or the same score may be given to each of a plurality of passing areas. Passing ball detection switches 251 to 254 for detecting the passing of pachinko balls are provided corresponding to the passing paths of the respective passing areas 151 to 154. The passing ball detection switches 251 to 254 each have, for example, an actuating lever that protrudes into each passing area and is pressed when a pachinko ball passes, and a micro switch whose contact is closed by pressing the actuating lever is used. It will be done. Note that instead of this passing ball detection switch, a proximity sensor, a photoelectric sensor, or the like may be used as the first passing ball detection means, which generates a signal in response to the proximity of a pachinko ball.

The horse racing course type display 20 consists of a first course 21 as a first display means and a second course 22 as a second display means. This first
Course 21 has multiple displays (16 in the illustration)
21a to 21p, these plurality of display units 2
1a to 21p are arranged in an elliptical (or annular) shape. Similarly, the second course 22 has the same number of display sections 22a to 2 as the display sections of the first course.
2p, each display section 22a to 22p is arranged in an elliptical shape inside the first course facing each display section of the first course. Each of the display sections 21a to 21p of the first course 21 has a built-in light emitting display member such as a lamp or a light emitting diode, and displays a picture of a horse or the number of pieces (1, 2...) from the starting point on the display surface.

22p is configured similarly to the first course, and the second
The light is sequentially turned on based on the out balls that enter the out ball entrance 14 and are collected as a specific area. The winner or loser is determined depending on which course reaches the goal (ie, the display section 21p or 22p) first. For example, when the first course arrives first, it is determined that the player has won, and a predetermined value is assigned. On the other hand, when the second course arrives first, it is determined that the player has lost, and value provision control is not performed. Alternatively, the winner or loser may be decided simply based on which course arrives first, and a certain value (for example, a prize ball) may be given only when the player wins, but it is possible to control the game so that the game player receives a certain value (for example, a prize ball) only when the player wins. In order to increase the number of players, one display section is determined to be one piece (horse length) in accordance with the first-come-first-served distinction between the first course 21 and the second course 22, and the number of pieces (that is, the difference in horse length) is It is also possible to make the value given to variable variable. Therefore, more preferably, when the first course arrives first (that is, when the player wins), the number of differences in horse lengths from the second course 22 is displayed to indicate the number to which value is assigned. device (e.g. segment display) 23
may be placed.

Note that FIGS. 2A and 2B show, as an example of the first and second display means, a race course-shaped display 20 in which a plurality of display sections are arranged in an elliptical or annular shape, respectively. However, it goes without saying that a plurality of display sections for each course may be arranged facing each other in a straight line. FIG. 2C shows, as another example of the first and second display means, a race course-shaped display 20' having a plurality of display sections arranged in a linear manner. In the illustration, the reference numerals of the parts corresponding to those in FIG.
2′ except that it is provided linearly opposite
Since it is similar to Figure A, detailed explanation will be omitted.

Further, as still another example of the first and second display means, first and second segment displays are arranged on the game board, and which segment display displays the predetermined number first. Victory or defeat may be determined by whether or not the game is successful.

9, a value adding means including Yakumono Development Mechanisms 34 and 35. Next, referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, together with the detailed configuration of FIG. 5,
Let us explain the operation when playing a game with the pachinko game machine of this embodiment.

A player puts a pachinko ball purchased from a ball lending machine into the ball waiting gutter 16, rotates a ball hitting handle 17 to adjust the strength of the ball, and then presses a ball hitting switch 171. In response, the motor 361 rotates and rotates the ball hitting rod 363 intermittently, thereby hitting one pachinko ball one after another. At this time,
The hit pachinko ball enters the safe hole 12 or the Yakumono 13a to 13e, passes through any of the passage areas 151 to 154, or exits the out ball entrance 14 without hitting the safe hole or the Yakumono. collected through. At this time, if the hit pachinko ball wins, for example, into the safe hole 12 or the Yakumono 13a to 13e, it is detected by the entered prize ball detection switch 324, and as in conventional pachinko gaming machines, each winning ball is A predetermined number of prize balls are delivered to the prize ball payout port 18.
will be paid out from.

On the other hand, when a pachinko ball hit by a player's ball hitting operation passes through any of the passing areas 151 to 154, a passing ball detection switch provided corresponding to the passing area through which the pachinko ball has passed is activated. (any one of 251 to 254) is closed. For example, a hit pachinko ball passes through the area 151.
, the passing ball detection switch 251 is closed, and a high level (hereinafter "H") signal is given to the encoder 51 via the passing ball detection switch 251. In response to the signal from the detection switch 251, the encoder 51 derives a coded signal of the number of points (3 points) given to the passing region 151, and supplies it to the addition circuit 521 as addition information input. The addition circuit 521 adds the count value (n1) that has been counted up to that point and the addition information according to the addition information from the encoder 51, but in the initial state, the count value up to that point is 0, so the addition is not completed. Deriving information as an additive value. This addition circuit 5
The count value (n1) of 21 is given to the decoder 531 and the difference determination circuit 54. This decoder 53
1 has output terminals corresponding to the number of display devices 21a to 21p of the first course of the horse race course type display device 20, and based on the count value of the adding circuit 521, output terminals corresponding to the count value H” signal is derived. Since the adder circuit 521 is now calculating the numerical value 3, the decoder 531 derives an "H" signal from the output terminal corresponding to the numerical value 3, and makes the transistor 55c conductive, thereby transmitting the signal to the display section 2.
Turn on 1c. In this manner, when the batted ball passes through the passing area 151, the display section 21c of the third frame of the first course 21 is illuminated.

On the other hand, when the hit ball is collected at the out ball inlet 14, it is collected into the return device via the path 314, but at this time, the out ball falling through the path 314 is detected by the out ball sensor 33. be done.
The out ball detection output (pulse) of the out ball sensor 33 is given as an addition command signal to the adding circuit 522. Note that under the condition that the display section of the second course 22 is advanced one by one for each out ball and turned on, the count value of the adder circuit 522 must be incremented by 1 each time there is an output from the out ball sensor 33. Good. In addition, as another condition, if the pieces on the display section to be lit for the second course are to be advanced one frame each time there is a predetermined number of out balls, each time the output of the out ball sensor 33 reaches a predetermined number, one Ball sensor 33 out N counter 523 that derives pulses
It may also be inserted between the adder circuit 522 and the adder circuit 522. For example, if the condition is such that the illuminated display portion of the second course is advanced by one frame for every two out balls, a binary counter may be provided as the counter 58. The calculated value of this adder circuit 522 is provided to a decoder 532 and also to a difference determination circuit 54. Now, the count value (n2) of the adder circuit 522
Assuming that the value is 2, the decoder 53
2 derives an "H" signal from the output terminal corresponding to the numerical value 2, making the transistor 56b conductive. Accordingly, power is supplied to the lamp of the display section 22b, and the lamp is turned on.

As described above, when the hit pachinko ball passes through any of the passing areas 151 to 154, the points given to each passing area are added to the count value up to that point in the adding circuit 521. Then, the number of display sections corresponding to the count value (n1) of the adding circuit 521 from the starting point of the first course 21 is lit up. In addition, the out ball sensor 33
Each time the ball detects an out ball, or each time a predetermined number of out balls are detected, the count value of the adding circuit 522 is incremented by 1. Then, the number of display sections corresponding to the count value (n2) of the addition circuit 522 from the start point of the second course 22 is lit up. In this way, the display of the first course 21 is advanced one frame at a time based on the points awarded as the pachinko balls pass through the passing areas 151 to 154, and each time there is an out ball, the display of the first course 21 is advanced one frame at a time. The display of the course is advanced one frame at a time. Then, when either the first course 21 or the second course 22 reaches the goal first, that is, when either the final display section 21p or 22p lights up, it depends on which one arrived first. Then, the winner or loser is decided. That is, output terminals representing a fixed number (16 in the figure) of the decoders 531 and 532 are respectively input to the first-come-first-served determination circuit 57. This first-come-first-served determination circuit 57 introduces an "H" signal from the output end representing the player's win when the "H" signal is first derived from the output end representing a certain number of decoders 531, and makes a difference as a determination command signal. It is fed to the determination circuit 54 and also as one input to the OR gate 58. If an "H" signal is given first from the output end representing a certain number of decoders 532, an "H" signal is given from the output end representing the negative of the player. Derivation OR gate 58
Give it as the other input.

Now, assuming that the player wins, the difference determination circuit 54 changes the count value (n1) of the addition circuit 521 to the count value (n2) of the addition circuit 522 in response to the determination command signal derived from the first-come-first-served determination circuit 57. ) to find the number of horse length differences. This difference number is the decoder 53
3, is displayed on the segment display 23, and is also provided to the prize payout control circuit 59. For example, if the difference number is 2 or less, the prize payout control circuit 59 energizes the solenoid 351 to control the opening of the two Yakumonos 13d and 13e in order to command the opening of the two Yakumonos, and when the difference number is 3 or 4
If so, the solenoid 341 is energized to control the opening of the three yakumonos 13a to 13c, and if the difference is 5 or more, the solenoids 341 and 351 are energized to control the opening of the 5 yakumonos. do. This makes it easier for the hit pachinko balls to win prizes, and it is therefore possible to efficiently win a large amount of prize balls. In addition, the first-come-first-served determination circuit 57
The output representing the win is provided via OR gate 58 as a reset signal for adding circuits 521 and 522, and if counter 58 is used, as a signal for resetting counter 58. On the other hand, when the first-come-first-served determination circuit 57 determines that the player is negative, the "H" signal derived from the output terminal representing the negative is sent via the OR gate 58 to the adder circuits 521 and 522 as a reset signal r. The addition circuit 521 is reset without performing any opening control. Then, while the player is operating the pachinko ball to hit the ball, the same operations as those described above are repeated.

In the above description, as an example of the prize dispensing means, a case has been described in which the number of Yakumono to be opened and closed is varied according to the number of horse length differences, but opening and closing of a predetermined number of Yakumono may be controlled simply by first-come-first-served determination. Also,
As another example of giving value, when a player wins, a predetermined number of prize balls may be controlled to be paid out, or a different number of prize balls may be controlled to be paid out depending on the number of horse length differences. Furthermore, as another example, the opening time of the Yakumono may be varied depending on the number of differences.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the second specific area is an out ball entrance, but a pachinko ball passing area configured similarly to the first specific area where negative points are given on the game board. Alternatively, a safe hole is provided, and each time a pachinko ball passes through the pachinko ball passing area or enters the safe hole, the display of the second course is advanced by the number of pieces corresponding to the number of pachinko balls. Also good.

As described above, according to this embodiment, players can not only play pachinko by simply dropping a pachinko ball into a safe hole or a yakumono while playing a pachinko game, but also compete with a virtual opponent to decide the winner or loser. This will further increase the interest of the players. Also, the first
By using a horse racing course type display in which the display means and the second display means are formed in an elliptical or linear shape, it is possible to indulge in the excitement of horse racing while playing a pachinko game. Further, if the player wins against a virtual opponent, he or she can win more prize balls depending on the winning method (in the embodiment, the number of horse length differences). In addition, in the above embodiment, the pachinko balls that passed through the passing areas 151 to 154 simply fall downward, but a safe hole is provided as the passing area, and the display state of the player's course is sequentially changed by entering the safe hole. As we proceed,
It may be configured to pay out prize balls.

In the above embodiment, the circuit for controlling the operation of the pachinko game machine was described using a hardware circuit. It goes without saying that the same operation may be performed using software.

As described above, according to the first and second inventions, while playing a pachinko game, it is possible to use two display means to play the game as if playing against a virtual opponent, which has the effect of improving the fun of the game. Further, in this invention, when one of the two display means enters a predetermined display state, it is possible to determine what is ahead and what is to come, and when it is determined that the player has won, the winning ball device is opened or the prize ball is released. Since the winning ball is paid out, it is possible to give an opportunity to win a large amount of prize balls based on the game state other than the normal winning ball, and it is possible to give a sense of satisfaction different from the joy of winning a winning ball by hitting the ball. This also has the effect of further improving customer service.
Furthermore, in this invention, since the display means is electrical and is provided so as not to protrude from the surface of the game board, the structure can be simplified compared to a mechanical display mechanism, and the external shape of the pachinko game machine can be reduced. The display means can be incorporated into one game board without changing the dimensions, and there are also effects such as the ability to enlarge the surface through which pachinko balls can pass without obstructing the passage of pachinko balls.
