Further, as shown in FIG. 9, on the back surface of the game board 6, passages 59 communicating with the respective ball receiving frames 11 are formed, and each passage 59 is provided with a winning ball detection switch 60, and a lower end A stopper rod 61 is provided at the discharge port.

This stopper rod 6I is connected to the lower end of a plunger 63 of a solenoid 62 driven by the start switch button 5, and is normally connected to each passage portion 59 as shown by the solid line in FIG.
The winning balls are held in each passage section 59 facing the discharge port, and are rotated to the position indicated by the dashed line in the figure by the drive of a solenoid 62 to cause the winning balls to fall into the discharge passage 64. When the winning ball is held by the stopper rod 61, the winning ball presses the operating piece 65 of the winning ball detection switch 60, thereby detecting the winning ball. Each of these winning ball detection switches 60 is connected to each display section 13 corresponding to the ball receiving frame 11.
and is connected to the electronic control unit 31, and when the signals from the switch 60 establish a preset combination, a score is given according to the combination, and the score is The score is displayed on the score display 14.

In addition, on the back side of the game board 6, there is a double winning slot 10a, a specific winning slot 10b, variable winning ball sockets 10c and 10d, and a winning hole 6.
A guiding gutter 70, 71, 72, 73, 74 is formed to guide the winning ball to the passage portion 59 of the predetermined ball receiving frame 11. The induction 4i 170 is provided with a double winning ball switch 70a which is closed when the winning ball passes, and the guiding gutter 71.72 is provided with winning ball switches 71a and 72a, respectively. Signals from the winning ball switches 70a and winning ball switches 71a and 72a are sent to the electronic control device 31.

Therefore, in the present invention, when the double winning ball switch 70a is closed by the winning ball that has entered the double winning opening 10a, the double score display lamp 80 is turned on and the score is displayed on the score display 14. The circuit is set to double the score and display it. Note that when the winning ball switch 71a is closed by the winning ball entering the winning hole 68, a score of 1 is added regardless of the score resulting from the combination of winning balls into the ball receiving frame 11. Also, when the winning ball switch 72a is closed by the winning ball that has entered the specific winning hole 10b, the solenoids 75 and 76 are driven to drive the variable winning holes 10c and 10d.
At the same time, the solenoid 66 is driven to open and close the ball receiving pieces 67 and 67. And variable winning ball socket 1. When the ball enters oc, 10d, this is the induction gutter 73

A sound effect is generated from a speaker 79 in order to effectively inform the player that the player has entered the game, and a fanfare sound is generated from the speaker 79 when the highest score is obtained. , 81 are stop lamps.

Next, the operation of the Pachinko type combination game machine configured as described above will be explained.

A player puts a batted ball purchased from a ball lending machine into a batted ball tray 2 in the same way as in a conventional pachinko game machine. This ball tray 2
The batted balls flow into the passage section 17 of the ball sending device 16, and the first ball passes through the swinging ball sending plate 19 as shown by the solid line in FIG.
They are stopped by a stopper part 27 and stand by in a continuous state while lining up in a line.

When the start switch button 5 is pressed, the solenoid 62 is driven, and the plunger 63 rotates the stopper rod 61 to the position indicated by the chain line in FIG. The ball is returned to the solid line position in the figure and the lower end discharge ports of each ball receiving frame 11 and the specific ball receiving frames 77 and 78 are closed.

Further, a count corresponding to the number of balls required for one game, 16 in this embodiment, is set in the electronic control unit 31.

Also, the solenoid 32 is activated to enable the supply of batted balls.

In this state, when the player operates the ball-hitting handle 4, the balls lined up in the passage section 17 are received one by one by the ball receiving section 28 of the swinging ball feeding plate 19, and the balls are received at the shooting position 15 on the guide rail 7.
It is sent out and driven into the gaming section 6a. Then, the batted ball passes through the open end of the kite rail 7 and blocks the light beams of the two batted ball detection switches 30a and 30b sequentially from below, thereby subtracting the count, and the count value becomes 1.
When this occurs, the solenoid 32 is driven to rotate the operating lever 21 as shown by the chain line in FIG. 5, thereby preventing the swinging ball sending plate 19 from sending out the ball. i.e. 1
This is because the 6th batted ball has already been sent to the firing position 15 at the time the 15th batted ball is hit into the gaming section 6a, and this makes it possible to accurately calculate the number of balls to be hit into the gaming section 6a in one game. It can be regulated.

Note that the ball hit once into the gaming section 6a is at the firing position @1.
5, that is, when the light beams of the two batted ball detection switches 30a and 30b are blocked in order from the top, the count is added, so that even if a returned ball occurs, it does not count as the specified number of balls for one game. I'm trying to keep it from going awry.

The ball hit into the gaming section 6a enters the double winning slot 10a and the special winning slot 10b and is guided to the designated ball receiving frame 11 by the guiding gutter 70, 72, or it directly falls downward and enters the ball receiving frame 11. When a winning ball is won in one of the balls, the actuating piece 65 of each winning ball detection switch 60 is pressed to close it. Then, the lamp of the display section 13 corresponding to each winning ball detection switch 60 is turned on, and the signal is transmitted to the electronic control device 31.
It is determined whether the winning status establishes a preset combination. When a combination is established, a score signal corresponding to the combination is generated and digitally added and displayed on the score display 14. On the other hand, in this state, when the batted ball enters the double winning a prize opening 10a, the double winning ball switch 70a is closed and the double score display lamp 80 blinks based on the signal, and at the same time the score display is doubled. Also, when the batted ball enters the specific winning hole tab, the winning ball switch 72a is opened and the signal drives the solenoids 75, 76 and 66 to open and close the variable winning ball sockets 10c, 10d and the ball receiving pieces 67, 67. Operate open for a certain period of time. When a ball hits a prize between the opening and closing pieces, the switches 77a and 78a are closed, and a plurality of preset lamps on the display section 17 are turned on. Further, when a batted ball is received by the ball receiving pieces 67 and enters the winning hole 68, one point is awarded and added to the score display 14 regardless of the combination of each ball receiving frame II.

When the start switch button 5 is pressed after the end of the game, the solenoid 41 is driven by a signal from the electronic control unit 31 a number of times corresponding to the score displayed on the score display 14, and a predetermined number of prize edges are released. Note that when the tank rail 76 breaks out or the prize edge inside the wetting 4ii51 becomes full, the switch 49 is closed and the solenoid 41 is stopped and the stop lamp 81 is made to blink. Further, when a bulb breakage occurs in the prize edge introducing gutter 38, the switch 56 is closed and the driving of the solenoid 42 is similarly stopped. Thereby, the discharge control of prize edges can be performed reliably. And after releasing the prize ball, solenoid 6
2 is driven, and by rotating the stopper rod 61, the lower end discharge port of each ball receiving frame 11 is opened and all the winning balls fall into the discharge passage 64. Further, after a certain period of time, the solenoid 62 is demagnetized to close the lower end discharge port of each ball receiving frame 11, the solenoid 32 is driven, the ball can be sent out, and a count corresponding to one game is set. From now on, the game can be played in the same manner.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the pachinko-style combination game machine of the present invention, when a ball hit on the game board enters the winning slot, the score displayed on the score display is doubled. Since the game is displayed in such a way that the player is always given a chance to get a high score, it is possible to attract the players' interest, and the game contents are rich in variety, which greatly increases the interest of the game. .

Furthermore, it is possible to improve services to players.
