Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a winning ball device installed in the center of the game board of a pachinko machine, and in particular, a player with a pair of movable wings on the front of the mounting plate and a ball holder on both the left and right sides of the player. A mouth is provided, and the movable wing pieces are tilted from an upright position that closes the opening of the chucker depending on the manner in which a hit ball enters a prize, to a first tilted position and a substantially horizontal position in which it is tilted in an inverted figure-eight shape to receive a hit ball into the chucker. This invention relates to a winning ball device for a pachinko machine that can be expanded and moved to a second tilting position where balls can be received into right and left ball sockets.

Conventionally, various winning ball devices installed in the center of the game board have been known, but these either simply open and close the ball entrance with an opening/closing member, or have two conditions: one in which it is easy for balls to enter and the other in which it is difficult to enter the ball. They were all monotonous and lacked interest.

This invention makes a pair of movable wing pieces alternately stand up and tilt in an inverted eight-shape to perform the same action as a well-known winning ball receiver commonly known as a chulip, or expand to a nearly horizontal state. Since the ball that falls on the top surface can be made to land in the ball sockets on both the left and right sides, it is rich in variety, and it is also possible to obtain a large number of safe balls at once, which is useful for significantly increasing the interest of the game.
