Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention is directed to a pachinko machine, particularly a movable guide that constitutes a part of the ball guiding part of a device that supplies pachinko balls, which serve as prize balls, to the prize ball ejection mechanism of the machine. This relates to the improvement of members.

(Prior art) A pachinko machine game machine is equipped with a prize ball ejection mechanism, and when a pachinko ball enters a prize opening provided in the game board on the front of the door frame hinged to the front of the outer frame of the game machine. A predetermined number of pachinko balls as prizes are delivered to, for example, an upper tray in front of the door frame. This prize ball ejecting mechanism generally holds pachinko balls to be prize balls aligned in a plurality of (for example, two) ball paths, and a device that supplies pachinko balls to this prize ball ejecting mechanism. is adapted to such a system and is configured to achieve smooth supply of pachinko balls.

That is, this ball supply device first includes a pachinko ball supply source such as a prize ball tank (commonly known as an upper tank), and the prize ball discharge mechanism fixed to a base frame plate fixed to the back of the door frame. a guide gutter (commonly known as a lower tank) that has a ball guiding path corresponding to the ball path and causes pachinko balls in the ball guiding path to flow down toward each ball path in accordance with the ejection of prize balls from the prize ball ejecting mechanism; A movable guide member is interposed between the ball supply source and the guide gutter, and the upper surface of the movable guiding member serves as a ball guide path for guiding pachinko balls from the pachinko ball source to the guide gutter. Pachinko balls are
First, the pachinko balls are received by the ball guide path on the upper surface of the guide member and flowed into the guide gutter, and the pachinko balls that rush from the movable guide member are aligned by the guide gutter to form a row of pachinko balls corresponding to each ball path of the prize discharging mechanism. When the prize balls are discharged, the pachinko balls are sequentially flowed into the prize ball discharge mechanism.

The movable guide member is attached to the base frame plate so as to be able to reciprocate between a first position and a second position, and is biased toward the first position by a biasing member. The urging force of this urging member is such that when a pachinko ball is present on the guide path of the guiding member, the weight of the pachinko ball overcomes the urging force and the guiding member can take the second position. is set to Furthermore, a ball stop control mechanism is provided,
With this mechanism, when the guiding member is in the first position (that is, when the guiding member is not on the ball guiding path), the ball is prevented from being hit by the ball firing device, for example, by stopping the sending of the pachinko ball to the hitting mallet. In addition, when the guiding member is in the second position (that is, when a pachinko ball is present on the guiding path of the guiding member), the ball firing device can hit the ball.

As a result, the game machine can be played only when there are enough pachinko balls to serve as prize balls in the ball supply device, so that when a pachinko ball enters the prize opening, the prize ball is reliably ejected. It's getting old.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, when a game machine is installed in a hall, it is usually sloped so that the bottom part protrudes slightly forward than the top part, and the inside of the game board is Since the pachinko balls that have been hit are designed to flow down along the game board surface as much as possible, the guide member is sloped so that it becomes lower from the side closer to the base frame to the side farther from the base frame, and the pachinko balls on the ball guide path are A force is applied in the width direction from the side closer to the base frame of the ball guiding path to the side farther from the base frame, and due to this force, when the pachinko balls are lined up continuously in the width direction, they bite into each other and the balls This caused a problem in which the prize ball was not ejected even if the ball was won, even though the ball could be hit by the ball firing device.

Therefore, it may be possible to assemble the guiding member by taking into account the inclination during installation as described above, but since the inclination angle differs slightly depending on the hole and the installation location, this is not recommended. It is difficult.

The present invention was developed in view of these problems, and its purpose is to provide a prize ball ejection mechanism in a pachinko machine that can prevent balls from clogging on the ball guiding path of the movable guiding member. The object of the present invention is to provide a ball feeding device.

(Means for solving the problem) Therefore, in the present invention, the ball guideway of the movable guide member is provided with a step that is lower on the side closer to the base frame plate than on the side farther away from the base frame plate over its entire length. a guide portion corresponding to each ball guide path of the guide gutter is formed, and at least the guide portion on the side farther from the base frame plate is inclined downward at the side farther from the frame plate than the side nearer to the frame plate. It is characterized by the presence of

(Function) With this configuration, the pachinko balls on the guide path of the movable guide member are distributed and lined up in each guide section, but in this case, the balls that have entered the lower guide section are aligned in the width direction of the guide path. Since the force in the direction is received by the stepped portion, it does not act on the pachinko balls lined up in the width direction.

Further, the step easily forms two ball guiding paths on the upper surface of the movable guiding member.

Furthermore, the ball guideway on the far side from the base frame board is
Since the side farther from the base frame plate is tilted downwards than the side closer to the base frame plate, the pachinko balls on the ball guide path on the side far from the base frame plate are guided to the guide path on the side closer to the base frame plate. deter.

(Example) First, in FIG. 5, 1 is the outer frame of the game machine, 2 is a door frame hinged to the front surface of the outer frame 1 and the game board is fitted into the front side, and 3 is the back side of the door frame 2. It is a stretched base frame board. This base frame board 3 has a prize ball ejection mechanism 4.
A ball supply device 5 and a ball hitting stop control mechanism 6 are provided.

The prize ball discharge mechanism 4 includes guide troughs 7 to 9, a flow regulating member 10, and an outflow control mechanism 11, which are generally built into a mechanism frame 12. The induction gutter 7 is
It has two guiding paths, receives pachinko balls from the ball supply device 5, arranges them in two paths, and lets them flow down. A notch 13 is formed in the middle of the guide gutter 7. The flow regulating member 10 is provided corresponding to each guide path of the guide trough 7, is rotatably attached to the mechanism frame 12, has a claw 14, and when rotated, flows through each guide path through the notch 13. It is designed to enter and exit the taxiway, and when entering the taxiway, the taxiway 7
Regulates the flow of pachinko balls inside. This induction gutter 7
The pachinko balls flowing down from the notch 13 are temporarily stored and held in a prize ball storage chamber to be described later, and each pachinko ball that enters the prize opening of the game board is released from the outflow control mechanism 11 as a pachinko ball as a prize ball. A predetermined number of balls are released. The outflowing pachinko balls are designed to flow into either the guide gutter 8 or 9.
The guide gutter 8 guides prize balls to the upper and lower trays on the front of the game machine. The guide gutter 9 continues to a ball extraction part for extracting the balls in the tank 32 or the prize ball discharge mechanism 4 to the outside of the game machine.

The outflow control mechanism 11 includes a prize ball storage gutter 15, an outflow regulating member 16, and an outflow control mechanism 17, and the prize ball storage gutter 15 has a guide path corresponding to each guide path of the guide gutter 7. Each guideway 7 and each guideway of the storage gutter 15 cooperate with the mechanism frame 12 to define two prize ball storage chambers 18 and 19. The storage gutter 15 is swingably supported by a support shaft 20 installed on the mechanism frame 12, and is placed in a range where the lower end of the guideway can face the entrance of either the guide gutter 8 or 9 by a regulating means (not shown). Although the swing range is defined, the lower end of the guideway is biased to swing to a position facing the guide gutter 8 by a spring (not shown). Outflow control member 16
is swingably supported by a support shaft 21 installed on the mechanism frame 12, and the side plates 16A, 16B and the bottom plate 1
6C, and in a state where the lower end of the guideway of the storage gutter 15 faces the entrance of the guideway 8 due to its swing,
The side plates 16A and 16B are the mechanism frame 12 and the storage gutter 15.
The bottom plate 16C is designed to enter and exit between the lower end of the guideway of the storage gutter 15 and the entrance of the guideway 8. When the side plates 16A, 16B of the outflow regulating member 16 are in the entry position, their upper end surfaces 16a, 16b abut against the lowest ends of the rows of pachinko balls contained in the prize ball storage chambers 18, 19, respectively. This prevents the pachinko balls in the prize ball storage chambers 18 and 19 from flowing out. The heights of the upper end surfaces 16a and 16b are made different, thereby allowing each prize ball storage chamber 1
The number of pachinko balls stored in the prize ball storage chambers 18 and 19 is different.
8 pachinko balls can be stored in the prize ball storage chamber 19, and 5 pachinko balls can be stored in the prize ball storage chamber 19.

Reference numeral 22 denotes a safe ball passage through which pachinko balls flow out from the ball collection box 23 into which the pachinko balls that have entered the winning opening are placed.Inside this safe ball passage 22, a shaft is rotatably attached to the base frame plate 3 at its intermediate portion. One end 24A of the safe ball detection lever 24 that has been rotated enters and
It faces in such a way that it can exit, is pivoted in the direction of entry, and stands by in its entry state. This safe ball detection lever 24 is configured to rotate when a pachinko ball passing through the safe ball path 22 hits one end thereof and is pushed down, and the other end is connected to a prize ball ejecting mechanism (not shown). When the safe ball detection lever 24 is in the standby state, this prize ball ejection mechanism locks the flow regulating member 10 in a state in which its claw 14 is retracted outside the guideway of the guide gutter 7, and also locks the flow regulating member 10 , the side plates 16A and 16B are the mechanism frame 1
2 and the storage gutter 15, and the prize ball storage chamber 1
The pachinko balls in 8 and 19 are locked in a state that prevents them from flowing out. Then, when a pachinko ball passes through the safe ball passage 22 and the safe ball detection lever 24 is rotated in the direction of retreating from the safe ball passage 22, the prize ball discharge mechanism controls the flow regulating member 10 as the pachinko ball passes through the safe ball passage 22. The claw 14 is rotated to enter the guide path of the guide trough 7 to prevent the pachinko balls above from flowing down, and also to release the locked state of the outflow regulating member 16 and enter the prize ball storage chambers 18 and 19. The outflow regulating member 16 is rotated by the pressing force of the pachinko ball, and the side plates 16A, 16B are retreated from between the mechanism frame 12 and the storage gutter 15, and the prize ball storage chamber 18,
The pachinko balls in 19 are made to flow out and flow into the guide gutter 8. Then, when the safe ball detection lever 24 is pushed down in the safe ball passage 22 to retreat from the passage 22 and the pachinko ball passes therethrough, the safe ball detection lever 24 rotates in the direction of entering and returning into the passage 22. Then, the prize ball ejection mechanism is
The flow regulating member 10 is rotated to retreat its claw 14 from the guide path of the guide gutter 7 to allow the pachinko balls above it to flow down, and the flow regulating member 16 is rotated so that its side plates 16A and 16B are attached to the mechanism frame. body 1
Pachinko balls are locked in the state of entering between the prize ball storage chamber 2 and the storage gutter 15, and the pachinko balls are stored in the prize ball storage chambers 18 and 19.

The outflow amount control mechanism 17 is for changing the number of prize balls to be ejected depending on which of the plurality of winning holes in the game board the pachinko ball enters, and includes a solenoid 25, a slider 26, and a stop member 27. It is roughly composed of. The solenoid 25 is connected to the mechanism frame 12
When the solenoid 25 is energized, the plunger rises.
The slider 26 is attached to the plunger and is moved up and down by a solenoid 25, and 28 is a mechanism frame 1 that serves as a guide for the up and down movement.
This is a guide plate formed in 2. This slider 26
has two cam surfaces 26A and 26B. The stop member 27 has an intermediate portion rotatably supported by a support shaft 29 on a frame plate of the mechanism frame 12 on the prize ball storage chamber 18 side. The end has a claw portion 27B.
The slide portion 27A is configured to slide on the cam surface 26A when the slider 27 is lowered, and to slide on the cam surface 26B when the slider 27 is raised. When it slides on the cam surface 26B, it is rotationally biased in the direction of arrow A, and when it slides on the cam surface 26B, it is rotationally biased in the direction of arrow B. A hole 30 is bored in the frame plate of the mechanism frame 12, and when the stop member 27 rotates, the claw portion 27B
The ball enters and exits the prize ball storage chamber 18 through the hole 30. This claw part 27B
When the plunger of the solenoid 25 is in the lowered position, the second pachinko ball from the bottom of the row of pachinko balls stored in the prize ball storage chamber 18 is activated by the biasing force of the elastic spring attached to the plunger. The tip of the toe is brought into elastic contact with a portion slightly above the center, and when the row of pachinko balls is about to flow out, the second pachinko ball from the bottom slides on the spherical surface as it descends, As a result, the pachinko ball enters below the third pachinko ball from the bottom, and the balls above it, including the third pachinko ball from the bottom, cannot flow out, and two balls are removed from the prize ball storage chamber 18. Only the pachinko balls flow out, and including the five balls from the prize ball storage chamber 19, seven balls are discharged as prize balls. Further, when the plunger of the solenoid 25 is in the raised position, the claw portion 27B
has retreated from the prize ball storage chamber 18, and in this case, 13 balls are discharged as prize balls. Therefore, by controlling the energization to the solenoid 25, seven or thirteen can be selected.

The ball supply device 5 includes a tank base 31 and a tank 32.
It is generally composed of a cover 33, a completion lever 34 as a movable guide member, and a guide gutter 35. The tank base 31 is attached to the upper part of the base frame plate 3. The tank 32 receives and stores a predetermined amount of pachinko balls from a ball supply source installed in the hall, and discharges them little by little.
32B is an intake port, and 32B is a discharge port. The cover 33 is attached to the tank base 31 below the tank 32 with a spacer so as to face the tank base 31. Completion lever 34 and guide gutter 3
5 is provided between the tank base 31 and the cover 33, and pachinko balls from the tank outlet 32B flow into the guide gutter 35 through the guide path 34A on the upper surface of the completion lever 34. The guide gutter 35 has two guide paths 35A and 35B, which correspond to each guide path of the guide gutter 7 of the prize ball discharge mechanism 4, with the distribution plate 35C as a boundary, and the balls from the completion lever 34 are directed to each guide path. The balls are sorted into 35A and 35B and arranged in two rows, following the rows of pachinko balls in each guideway of the guideway 7. As a result, each time a prize ball is ejected, the number of balls that are reduced is transferred to the guide gutter 7.
will be supplied to each taxiway.

A support shaft 35D is attached to the distribution plate 35C of the guide trough 35, and each end of this support shaft 35D protrudes to each side of the guideways 35A and 35B. A circular ball leveling weight 35E is attached. Each of these weights is 35
The hole 35F through which the support shaft 35D of E is inserted is the support shaft 3.
The diameter is larger than 5D, which makes the weight 35E.
is able to swing, and this swingability means that when the balls are stacked in two tiers on the guideways 35A and 35B, for example, when the balls are stacked in two tiers on the guideways 35A and 35B, the balls come into contact with the balls in the second tier and apply their own weight. This is for breaking down into one stage, and here, even if two stages of balls enter between the guideways 35A, 35B and the weight 35E, the support shaft 35D and the hole 3
The diameter dimensions of the support shaft 35D and the hole 35E are determined to such an extent that a distance of Δh remains between the support shaft 35D and the hole 35E.

The guideways 35A and 35B of the guide trough 35 are provided with a stepped portion 35G that is lower on the downstream side than on the upstream side, and this stepped portion 35G is such that the center of the support shaft 35D is connected to the guideways 35A and 35B. At right angles to the taxiways 35A and 35B (R in the figure)
It is displayed. ) is placed with an offset of Δl slightly upstream from the point where it intersects with
In cooperation with the weight 35E, the balls in the first stage fall to the downstream side, making it easier to break up the pile of balls.

The upstream end of the completion lever 34 is rotatably supported by a support shaft 36 attached to the tank base 31, and as shown in FIG. 1, a backflow prevention part 34B is provided at the downstream end. It is provided.
This backflow prevention part 34B is connected to the guideway 3 of the guideway 35.
This is to prevent the balls from falling from the upstream ends of the guideways 35A, 35B when the balls on the guideways 35A, 35B are stacked in multiple stages, for example. moreover,
A receiving plate portion 34C is formed on the lower surface of the completion lever 34, and this receiving plate portion 34C receives the protruding biasing force from the pin plunger 37A of the micro switch 37 fixed to the tank base 31.
When there are no more balls on the guideway 34A, a weight (not shown) attached to the interlocking rod 39 moves the arrow D.
It is urged to rotate in the direction. Note that even if there are no pachinko balls or several balls on the guide path 34A of the completion lever 34, the position where the pin plunger 37A of the micro switch 37 is projected and lifted is the first position of the completion lever 34. A pachinko ball is located on the guide path 34A and is pushed in by overcoming a weight (not shown) attached to the interlocking rod 39 and the pin plunger 37A of the micro switch 37, or is in contact with the pin plunger 37A. The second position of the completion lever 34 is the position forming the slope that allows the pachinko balls to flow down to the guide gutter 35 side, and the fifth position is the second position of the completion lever 34.
The figure shows the completion lever 34 in the first position.

The ball-hitting stop control mechanism 6 includes an operating lever 38, an interlocking rod 39, a swinging member 40, a rotating member 41, and an interlocking plate 42.
and a gate plate 43. The operating lever 38 is rotatably supported at its middle by a support shaft 44 mounted on the tank base 31, and one end thereof is in contact with the lower surface of the receiving plate portion 34C of the completion lever 34. The interlocking rod 39 extends from the upper part of the game machine to the lower part,
Its upper end is pivotally connected to the other end of the actuating lever 38. The swinging member 40 has an intermediate portion that is connected to the base frame plate 3.
It is rotatably supported by a support shaft 48 attached to the interlocking rod 39, one end of which is pivoted to the lower end of the interlocking rod 39, and the other end is provided with a long hole 40A extending in the longitudinal direction. has been done. The rotating member 41 is
It is rotatably supported by a support shaft 45 attached to the base frame plate 3, and has a short arm 41A, and a pin 41B is bored at the tip of the arm 41A. Long hole 40A of swinging member 40
It is slidably fitted into the A connecting piece 41C is provided in a protruding manner on the opposite side of the rotating member 41 from the side where the arm portion 41A is formed. The interlocking plate 42 is rotatably supported at its intermediate portion by a support shaft 46 attached to the base frame plate 3, and at one end thereof is connected to the connecting piece 41.
C-engaged, and a pin 42A is provided protruding from the other end. The gate plate 43 is bent in a substantially dogleg shape, and the bent portion is connected to the support shaft 4 attached to the base frame plate 3.
7, and a long hole 43A extending in the longitudinal direction is bored at one end side of the bent part, and the other end side is rotatably supported by the upper part of the front side of the gaming machine. Ball feed port 4 located in the middle of guiding pachinko balls from the tray to the lower end of the launch rail of the ball launcher
9 as a shutter portion 43B that opens and closes.

The ball stop control mechanism 6 configured in this way is
When the tank 32 is filled with pachinko balls, the ball falling from the tank 32 is received by the guide path 34A of the completion lever 34, and the swinging free end is lowered, and the right end of the operating plate 38 is pushed down and connected to the left end. Pull up the interlocking rod 39, tilt the swinging member 40 connected to the interlocking rod 39 downward to the right, and open the elongated hole 40A.
Rotate the rotating member 41A connected via the pin 41B that slides into the link counterclockwise to raise the connecting piece 41C that projects forward, and the connecting arm 42 of the interlocking member 42
B is pushed up to move the shutter piece 43B of the gate plate 43 connected to this interlocking member away from the ball sending port 49, so that the balls from the guide path of the upper tray are sent to the shooting rail and the game can be continued. There is.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 5, when the prize balls stored in the tank 32 run out and there are no balls above the guide path 34A of the completion lever 38, the completion lever 38 is biased The swinging free end is flipped up and converted to the state shown in FIG. 5, and as the interlocking rod 39 is lowered, the swinging member 40 and the rotating member 41 are rotated in reverse by supporting shafts 48 and 45. Then, in order to lower the connecting piece 41C, the connecting arm 4 is lifted up.
2B is lowered by the spring 46A between the interlocking member 42 and the gate plate 43, and the shutter piece 43B of the gate plate 43 blocks the ball feeding port 49, preventing the supply of the ball to the firing rail and automatically Game becomes impossible.

Reference numeral 50 designates the above-mentioned connecting lever, one end of which is rotatably supported by the same support shaft 44 as the operating lever 38, and the other end, which is a free rotatable end, is connected to the receiving plate of the completion lever 34. It is interposed between one end of the operating lever 38 that is in contact with the portion 34C and the pin plunger 37A of the micro switch 37. This micro switch 37
Detects the presence or absence of pachinko balls on the guide path 34A of the completion lever 34, and the detection signal is used to control the addition of pachinko balls to the tank 32 and the stoppage. For example, if the game is stopped when the pachinko ball in the tank 32 becomes empty after three additions are made, the number of times the detection signal of the micro switch 37 is generated corresponds to the number of additions, and the number of times the detection signal is When the signal is generated for the first to third time, pachinko balls are added to the tank 32 when the first to third detection signals are generated, and the detection signal is generated for the fourth time. If the ball is not added, no additional balls are played, and control is performed such as lighting a lamp on the front of the game machine to inform the player that the ball has stopped.

1 and 2, the guideway 34A of the completion lever 34 is provided with a stepped portion 34D that is lower on the side closer to the tank base 31 than on the side closer to the cover 33 over its entire length, and A stepped portion 34E is provided which is lower on the downstream side than on the upstream side, and guiding portions 34F and 34G are formed on the upstream side, and guiding portions 34H and 34 are formed on the downstream side.
I is formed. The guide portion 34I on the side closer to the cover 33 on the downstream side has an inclined portion 3 on the upstream side thereof.
4J is formed, and this inclined part 34J descends from the cover 33 side toward the guide part 34H, and its lower end is higher than the guide part 34H.

According to the completion lever 34 configured in this way, the following actions and effects can be obtained.

That is, when a game machine is installed in a hall, it is generally sloped so that its lower part protrudes slightly forward than its upper part. Because of this inclination, the completion lever also inclines (see Figures 8 and 10).
As a result, the ball on the guide path of the completion lever receives the action of gravity from the tank base 31 toward the cover 33. As a result, the conventional completion lever 1 having a flat guiding path 134A as shown in FIG.
34, for example, as shown in the same figure, the balls are not lined up straight in the longitudinal direction of the guideway 134A, but are stacked diagonally, and as in the case of P ₁ to _{P 4} , the center of the row of balls stacked diagonally is If a situation occurs in which the ball P ₃ protrudes slightly upstream from the balls P ₄ on both sides, the ball
P ₁ pushes ball P ₂ , ball P ₂ pushes ball P ₃ , and ball P ₃ pushes ball P ₄ , so that ball P ₃ is sandwiched between balls P ₂ and P ₄ and is pushed from between them. It becomes impossible to escape and the ball biting phenomenon occurs. In this case, the guideway 13 of the completion lever 134
Since there is a ball on 4A, it is possible to hit the ball and the game can continue, and if the ejection of prize balls continues as it is, the balls in the prize ball ejection mechanism 4 will become empty. As a result, even if a ball enters the prize opening, a problem arises in that the designated prize ball is not ejected.

According to this embodiment, the guideway 34A has a stepped portion 34D.
Since two guiding portions 34F and 34G are formed, the ball on the guiding path 34A will ride on either of the guiding portions 34F and 34G. In other words, the guiding part 34F on the tank base 31 side
The force of the ball in the direction of arrow E due to the tilt of the gaming machine that enters the ball is absorbed by the stepped portion 34D, so even if a pachinko ball enters between the balls in both ball rows of the guiding portions 34F and 34G, the ball will not be No force is applied in the direction of arrow E due to the tilt of the game machine from the ball in the guiding part 34F, and the ball on the guiding part 34F is not applied to the guiding part 34G.
Since they are located lower than the upper balls and have the smallest diameter possible, the balls rub against each other, so that ball jamming on the guide path 34A is prevented as much as possible.

The guide part 34F is formed narrowly so that the ball that enters the guide part 34F hits the tank base 31, and thereby the ball that enters between the two ball rows is transferred from the ball on the guide part 34F to the game machine. It is ensured that force in the direction of arrow E is prevented from being applied due to the inclination of .

Next, due to the inclination of the game machine, the balls tend to move closer to the cover 33, and when the number of prize balls to be ejected is controlled to be a small number in one row of balls as in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, balls are more likely to remain in the ball row corresponding to the guideway 35A of the guide trough 35 than in the ball row corresponding to the guideway 35B.

Regarding this point, since the completion lever 34 of this embodiment is provided with an inclined portion 34J on the upstream side of the guide portion 34I on the cover 33 side, this inclined portion 3
4J, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, some of the balls on the guide parts 34G and 34I on the cover 33 side (in the illustrated example, P ₅ of the balls P ₅ and P ₆ ) are attached to the tank base. 31 side, and therefore the guide paths 35A, 35 of the guide gutter 35.
Since the balls are distributed to each row of balls corresponding to B, the remaining balls as shown in FIG. 12 can be eliminated as much as possible.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, the influence of gravity acting on the pachinko balls due to the tilt of the game machine on the guide path of the movable guide member is eliminated by the stepped portion, so that the movable It is possible to prevent balls from clogging on the guiding path of the guiding member, and it is possible to prevent a problem in which a prize ball is not ejected even if it is possible to hit the ball and wins a prize.

Further, the ball guide path on the side far from the base frame plate prevents pachinko balls on the ball guide path on the side far from the base frame plate from being guided to the guide path on the side close to the base frame plate. As a result, the pachinko balls on both ball guide paths can be separated from each other by the inclination and step of the ball guide path on the side far from the base frame plate, so it is possible to prevent the pachinko balls from biting into each other.
