Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention has a plurality of winning hole groups each having a different winning value, and each winning hole group discharges a prize ball corresponding to the winning value of each winning hole group. Regarding pachinko machines that can play.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of prize ball discharging device has a prize ball tank provided on the back side of the game board, and the balls inside are guided into the prize ball tank in one or more rows. A storage gutter that is filled with water, a prize ball gutter that communicates with this storage gutter,
A prize ball discharge gutter that communicates with this prize ball gutter is installed, and on both sides of the prize ball gutter there are prize ball regulation parts that regulate the flow of prize balls, and on the downstream side, the prize ball discharge gutter is connected to the prize ball gutter. It is known that the ball is provided with a prize ball discharge section that allows the prize ball to flow down into a prize ball discharge gutter (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-10888 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 55-96182).

In addition, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-6934, the batted ball winning hole is divided into a first section and a second section, a controller is provided for each section in the collection gutter, and the prize balls are arranged in the prize ball alignment gutter. A pachinko machine is shown in which a first stopper or a second stopper is inserted between the two, a blocking piece is provided at the lower end of the alignment gutter, and different numbers of prize balls between the stopper and the blocking piece can be separately ejected.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the prize ball ejecting device shown in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Publication No. 10888/1988, the position of each stopper is fixed, and the ball is ejected in correspondence with the winning hole into which the batted ball enters. However, due to its structure, it is not possible to change the number of prize balls as appropriate.

In addition, the prize ball discharge device disclosed in JP-A-55-96182 requires the preparation of multiple types of control boards individually in order to change the length of the prize ball gutter. Managing the control board is troublesome, and replacing it is also troublesome.

Furthermore, the prize ball discharging device disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-6934 has a controller in order to process winning balls having different winning values, but when the controller receives winning balls, It is mechanically tilted, and this tilting operates an electric switch to operate the stopper. Therefore, if the controller becomes clogged with balls or if the controller malfunctions due to wear of parts, etc., there is a risk that the prize balls may not be ejected.

Furthermore, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional pachinko machine,
The prize ball discharge gutter was placed across the center of the back side of the game board, or was placed vertically in the center of the game board, so there were no large winning devices or other equipment near the center of the game board. Electric gaming devices such as variable display devices cannot be installed.

That is, the above-mentioned electric gaming device is large in size so that a large number of winning balls can be generated in a short period of time, and the drive source and link mechanism are integrated. Also, since it incorporates a large light emitting body that is easy for players to see, it protrudes significantly to the rear of the game board. For this reason, the rear part of the electric game device, which protrudes significantly toward the rear of the game board, partially overlaps with the prize ball discharge gutter and parts of the back mechanism, making it difficult to install such a large electric game device. I was doing it.

In addition, in order to start the operation of this electric gaming device, it is necessary to win a prize in a specific winning hole, but it is relatively easy for the player to win a prize in this specific winning hole. , and by winning a large number of prizes and starting the operation of many electrical game devices, the game becomes more interesting. However, if a predetermined number of prize balls are ejected for each winning ball in this particular winning hole, as with other winning holes, the disadvantage to the game parlor side will be great. Therefore, the winning value is made different between the winning hole that starts the operation of the electric gaming device and the other winning holes, and the number of prize balls to be ejected is set to, for example, 7 and 13 balls depending on the winning hole. is possible.

Furthermore, in conventional pachinko machines, each component was distributed and arranged on the back side of the game board, resulting in a lot of wasted installation space. In other words, the upper tray into which the player throws the pachinko balls is placed on the left side of the front of the game board, since the ball firing handle is operated with the right hand, and when viewed from the back of the pachinko machine, the final If the prize balls are ejected from the right side toward the upper tray, they can be disposed of in the shortest distance, so it would be more rational to place all the parts on the right side of the back of the pachinko machine, but conventionally Pachinko machines did not have such a configuration.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems in pachinko machines that have been developed in recent years. The collecting gutter can properly and quickly process the winning balls that flow down from each winning hole when the winning holes are formed, and also prevent a large amount of winning balls flowing down from each part of the back mechanism panel and each detected winning ball. By centrally arranging the falling path with the coming out ball at the appropriate position,
While simplifying maintenance and inspection on the back side of the game board and simplifying the back mechanism panel as a whole, it is possible to view the rear part of large electrical game equipment on the back side of the collection gutter, and it is also possible to The objective is to provide a rational and practical pachinko machine whose gutter is suitable for mass production and easy to install.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and consists of a first prize opening (for example, prize opening 5') having a first prize value, and a second prize opening having a second prize value.

The winning balls detected by each detection means are discharged to the outside of the machine through the discharge gutter together with the out balls. Therefore, the flow paths for winning balls and out balls are unified by the discharge gutter, and the back mechanism panel can be simplified.

In addition, on the back side of the collecting gutter, an unformed area is formed inside surrounded by the storage gutter, the inclined gutter, the prize ball gutter, and the prize ball discharge device, and in the unformed area there is a large electric wire attached to the game board. This area can be used effectively, such as by being able to extend the rear part of the gaming machine.

[Example] The present invention will be described below based on an example shown in the drawings.

As shown in Figure 1, the back side of the back mechanism board (symbol A in Figure 1) that is attached to the pachinko machine has a bottom surface that slopes downward to the left, approximately in the center of the back side of the game board. The prize ball tank 1 is arranged closer to the left side, and the balls in this prize ball tank 1 are led out in one row or in a plurality of rows (two rows in the embodiment shown in the drawings).
A storage gutter 2 whose one end on the upstream side faces the inclined lower end of the bottom surface of the prize ball tank 1, and which is inclined downwardly to the right and extends to cross approximately the central part of the back side of the game board;
It has a collecting gutter 3, etc., which receives a ball hit by a player when it wins a prize and is guided to the back side of the game board.
This collecting gutter 3 is configured to have a size that covers a plurality of winning holes, which will be described later. In this embodiment, the inside of the collecting gutter 3 is divided into three by partitions 4 serving as partition walls, and a first winning ball path is formed. A first winning part 5 as a second winning ball route, a second winning part 6 as a second winning ball route, and a third winning part 7 as a third winning ball route, and the first to third winning parts 5, 6, and 7. They are integrally formed and are inclined downward in the same direction.

The first winning part 5 is located above the surface of the game board and has a first winning value.
The second winning part 6 communicates with the winning opening 5', and is located approximately at the center of the surface of the game board, and has an electrical winning device (not shown), such as a large central winning device, which has a second winning value. ), and the third winning part 7 is located in another part of the surface of the game board and communicates with a third winning hole 7' having a third winning value. The winning balls that entered the first winning slot 5' go to the first winning slot 5, the winning balls that entered the second winning slot 6' go to the second winning slot 6, and the winning balls that entered the second winning slot 6' go to any of the third winning slots 7'. The entered winning balls are guided to the third winning part 7, and the bottom slope of each winning part 5 to 7,
That is, it flows down due to the inclination of the partitions 4. At this downstream end, the winning balls from each winning section 5 to 7 are placed.
Winning ball paths that guide each ball to a corresponding ball exit extend. Incidentally, the above-mentioned collecting gutter 3 and the winning ball path are integrally formed.

At each ball exit corresponding to each of the winning parts 5 to 7 above,
Detection means for detecting and processing the winning balls flowing down from the ball exits are respectively provided. That is, the first detection section 8 serves as a first detection means for detecting winning balls flowing down from the first ball exit, and the second detection section 9 serves as a second detection means for detecting winning balls flowing down from the second ball exit. , a third detection unit 10 as a similar third detection means
Below each of the detection units 8 to 10 is located an inclined upper part of a discharge gutter 11 that guides winning balls detected by each detection unit to the outside of the pachinko machine.

Therefore, when a ball hit by a player enters any of the winning holes 5' to 7', this winning ball is guided to the corresponding winning part 5 to 7, and is detected by the detection parts 8 to 7.
10, the discharge gutter 11
and falls below the pachinko machine.

Since the outlet 12 for hitting balls is also located in the middle of the above-mentioned discharge gutter 11, when a ball hit by a player goes out, the out ball falls from the discharge gutter 11 to the lower part of the Pachinko machine.

On the other hand, a prize ball shortage detection plate 13 is located at the bottom of the storage gutter 2, and when the prize ball tank 1 is empty and the balls in the storage gutter 2 are also insufficient, a ball shortage detection plate 13 is placed on the bottom of the storage gutter 2. The switch 13' is set so that the ejecting operation of the prize ball ejecting mechanism, which will be described later, is stopped.

A first bent portion 14 is formed at the lower end of the slope of the storage gutter 2 to extend a folded sloped gutter 15.
A second bent part 16 is formed at the sloping lower end of the ball 5 to extend a prize ball gutter 17, and a prize ball discharge gutter 18 is connected to the sloping lower end of the prize ball gutter 17. Therefore, the storage gutter 2, the inclined gutter 15, the prize ball gutter 17, and the prize ball discharge gutter 18 are connected in that order, and the balls in the prize ball tank 1 are connected to the storage gutter 2, the inclined gutter 15, and the prize ball gutter 17. Fill up.

The prize ball gutter 17 is disposed to the right of the center of the back side of the game board, and its upper end is connected to the other downstream end of the storage gutter 2 via the inclined gutter 15. ing. As shown in FIG. 2, in the prize ball gutter 17, as an example of an electric prize ball discharging device, a first prize ball is provided on the upstream side thereof as a prize ball regulating section for regulating the flow of prize balls. The regulating part 19 and the second prize ball regulating part 20 are arranged so that the prize ball discharging part 21 faces the downstream side, respectively, and the prize ball discharging part 21 stops the outflow of balls in the prize ball gutter 17 filled with the prize ball. There is.

The prize ball discharge gutter 18, as shown in FIG.
It is located below the prize ball gutter 17, and is arranged to the right of the center of the back side of the game board, and its upper end is connected to the lower end of the prize ball gutter 17, and the lower end is connected to the pachinko machine. Communication port 2 on the upper plate (not shown) on the front of the machine
Connect to 2. Therefore, the prize balls discharged when one or both of the prize ball regulation parts 19, 20 and the prize ball discharge part 21 are activated, flow down the prize ball discharge gutter 18 and enter the upper tray from the communication port 22. Discharge.

An overflow gutter 24 is provided between one side of the communication port 22 and a communication port 23 that opens into a lower tray (not shown) provided on the surface side of the pachinko machine.
When prize balls flow down from the prize ball discharge gutter 18 while the upper tray is full of balls, the prize balls flow through the overflow gutter 24 and flow into the lower tray.

As shown in FIG. 5, the first prize ball regulating section 19 is attached to one side of a first control rod 26, which is a horizontally elongated moving member whose base end is pivotally connected to the back mechanism panel by a shaft 25. A shallow first groove 27 is formed along the direction.
A plurality of recessed first receiving portions 28 are provided inside the groove 27 at intervals of about the diameter of a pachinko ball, and the first groove 2
The horizontal first engaging portion 30 of the first arm rod 29 as a claw member to be attached to the first arm rod 7 is inserted into one of the first receiving portions 28, and the first arm rod 29 serving as a claw member provided at the tip of the first arm rod
The claw part 31 faces the prize ball gutter 17 from above.
The first arm rod 29 as the pawl member is provided with a plurality of through holes 32 as locking portions at intervals of about the diameter of a pachinko ball, and the first engaging portion 30 is connected to any one of the first receiving portions. 28, and by passing the screw 33 through one of the through holes 32 and tightening it into the mounting hole 26', which serves as a fastening part, formed on the side surface of the first control rod 26, the first claw part Decide the mounting position of 31.

In addition, the first receiving part 28 and the mounting hole 2 as a fastening part
6' to the first control rod 26 as a moving member;
Although the engaging portion 30 and the through hole 32 as a locking portion are provided in the first arm rod 29 as a claw member, conversely, the first arm rod 29 is provided as a claw member.
The receiving portion 28 and the mounting hole 26' may be provided in the first arm rod 29, and the first engaging portion 30 and the through hole 32 may be provided in the first control rod 26, respectively, and the first receiving portion 28 is formed in a protrusion shape. In addition, the first engaging portion 30 may be formed in the shape of a recess.

The position of the first claw part 31 of the first arm rod 29 can be changed by about the diameter of a pachinko ball according to the mounting interval between the first receiving part 28 and the through hole 32, and can be adjusted in three stages in the embodiment shown in the drawings. . Therefore, when the mounting position of the first arm rod 29 is changed, the balls are lined up in two rows in the prize ball gutter 17, so the first prize as a prize ball regulating section is divided into three stages for two balls. The number of prize balls regulated by the ball regulating section 19 can be increased or decreased.

The first claw portion 31 of the embodiment can enter from above into both flow paths of the prize ball gutter 17 having two rows of pachinko ball flow paths, and can open both flow paths and control the flow of balls. It can be stopped.

A downward protruding piece 34 is provided on the shaft attachment side of the first control rod 26, and a horizontal locking pin 35 is protruded from the locking pin 35 on the forward side of the connecting rod 36 pivotally connected to the shaft 25.
5 is coming. A spring 37 is stretched between the first control rod 26 and the connecting rod 36,
The locking pin 35 is urged to come into pressure contact with the front surface of the connecting rod 36.

The second prize ball regulating section 20 also has the same configuration as the first regulating section 19 described above, and has a length attached to one side of an oblong second control rod 39 whose base end is pivotally connected to the back mechanism panel by a shaft 38. In addition to forming a shallow second groove 40 along the direction, a plurality of groove-shaped second receiving portions 41 are formed at intervals of about the diameter of a pachinko ball, and the second arm rod attached to the second groove 40 is horizontally oriented. The second engaging part 43 is inserted into one of the second receiving parts 41, and the second claw part 44 provided at the tip of the second arm rod 42 is made to face the prize ball gutter 17 from below. A plurality of through holes 45 are formed in the second arm rod 42 at intervals of about the diameter of a pachinko ball, and while the attachment position of the second claw portion 44 is freely set using a screw 46, the second arm rod 42 can be fixed.

The configuration of the second prize ball regulating section 20 as described above is as follows:
It is almost the same as the first prize ball regulating section 19, but has a downward arm 47 on the pivoting side of the second control rod 39,
A rod 49 of a regulating electromagnet 48 is connected to the free end of this arm 47. The rod 49 has a spring 50 that is biased to protrude when the electromagnet 48 is demagnetized.
With a bias of 0, the second claw portion 44 is positioned so as to be removed from the prize ball gutter 17.

The second claw part 44 is the first claw part 3 of the prize ball gutter 17.
It is possible to enter from below both passages of a prize ball gutter 17 which faces downstream from the pachinko ball passage 1 and has two rows of pachinko ball passages, and can open both passages or stop the flow of balls.

The prize ball ejecting section 21 has two L-shaped third control frames 51, 51 facing each other as main components, and the bent portions of each third control frame 51 are pivoted to the back mechanism panel, and the upper end A stopper 52 whose height differs by the diameter of the pachinko ball is provided in the stopper 52, facing each flow path below the slope of the prize ball gutter 17, and a rod 54 of a discharging electromagnet 53 as a driving device is connected to the sideways free end side. . The reason why the mounting positions of the stoppers 52 provided on each third control rod 51 are changed by the diameter of the pachinko balls is to make the total number of prize balls to be ejected an odd number.
If the total number of prize balls is an even number, a stopper facing both flow paths of the prize ball gutter 17 may be provided as one third control rod.

A spring 55 is connected to the third control rod 51 to urge the stopper 52 to enter the prize ball gutter 17 when the electromagnet 53 is demagnetized. By concatenating
The protruding end 36' of the connecting rod 36 is connected to the third control rod 51.
energize it so that it comes into pressure contact with the

Both electromagnets 48 and 53 are electrically connected to the first detection section 8, second detection section 9, and third detection section 10 as the detection means described above.

When the ball hit by the player does not win a prize, that is, when the electromagnets 48 and 53 are demagnetized, the second claw part 44 of the second prize ball regulating part 20 is activated by the spring 5.
0, it is located below the prize ball gutter 17, and the prize ball gutter 17
is open to the public. Also, the third
The stopper 52 of the control rod 51 is located inside each flow path of the prize ball gutter 17, and the spring 56
The first claw part 31 of the prize ball regulating part 19 is in a second state in which it is retracted upward from the prize ball gutter 17, opening the upstream side of the prize ball gutter 17. Therefore, the prize ball gutter 17 is filled with a predetermined number of pachinko balls and is stopped by the stopper 52 on the downstream side.

On the other hand, the batted ball fired by the player enters the second winning hole 6' and passes through the second winning ball path from the corresponding second winning part formed in the collecting gutter 3 to the second detecting part 9 as a detection means. When the discharge electromagnet 53 is guided and the second detection section 9 issues a detection signal, only the discharge electromagnet 53 is excited. When the electromagnet 53 is energized, the rod 54 is attracted, the third control rod 51 is tilted, and the stopper 5 is
2 evacuates from the prize ball gutter 17. Also, the third control rod 5
1 tilts, the end 36' that is in pressure contact is pressed, so the connecting rod 36 rotates against the bias of the spring 56, and as the connecting rod 36 rotates, the spring 37 causes the first Since the control rod 26 rotates about the shaft 25, it is displaced to the first state in which the first claw part 31 enters the prize ball gutter 17 from above.

Therefore, due to the action of the stopper 52 and the first claw part 31, the balls in the prize ball gutter 17 lined up between the first claw part 31 and the stopper 52 are transferred to the prize ball discharge gutter 18 as the second winning value. The ball flows down and is given to the player as a prize ball.

When the electromagnet 53 is demagnetized by a timer circuit (not shown) etc., the rod 54 rises, the third control rod 51 returns and rotates, and the stopper 52 plunges into the lower part of the prize ball gutter 17. At the same time, the connecting rod 36 returns and rotates due to the bias of the spring 56, the locking pin 35 is pressed, the first control rod 26 rises, and the first claw part 31 retreats above the prize ball gutter 17, Return to the second state. Therefore, the balls filling the inclined gutter 15 flow into the prize ball gutter 17 and are stopped by the stopper 52 to wait for the next operation.

The above-mentioned prize ball discharge operation occurs when the batted ball enters the second prize opening 6' having the second prize value and the second detection unit 9 issues a detection signal, but the batted ball has the third prize value. When the third winning hole 7' enters and the third detecting section 10 as a detection means emits a detection signal via the third winning section 7 formed in the collecting gutter 3 and the winning ball path, the regulating electromagnet 48 and the winning ball enter the third winning hole 7'. The ball electromagnet 53 is excited at the same time.

When the ejection electromagnet 53 is energized, the stopper 52 is removed from the prize ball gutter 17 and the first claw portion 31 enters the prize ball gutter 17 from above in the same manner as in the above operation. Further, when the regulating electromagnet 48 is energized, the rod 49 is attracted, the second control rod 39 rotates about the shaft 38, and the second claw portion 44 enters the prize ball gutter 17 from below.

Therefore, when both electromagnets 48 and 53 are excited, even if the first claw part 31 enters the prize ball gutter 17, the prize ball gutter 1 lined up between the second claw part 44 and the stopper 52
The ball within 7 is given to the player as a prize ball. or,
When both the electromagnets 48 and 53 are demagnetized due to time-up of a timer circuit (not shown), the first claw part 31 and the second claw part 44 are retracted upward or downward from the prize ball gutter 17, and the stopper is removed. 52 enters the prize ball gutter 17, so the balls flow into the prize ball gutter 17.

On the other hand, when the ball hit by the player enters the first winning hole 5' having the first winning value, the first winning hole 5' formed in the collecting gutter 3
When guided by the winning part 5 and the first detection part 8 as a detection means issues a signal, it is a special winning and a large number of prize balls are continuously ejected. In this case, the discharge electromagnet 53 may be intermittently excited once or multiple times, or
The discharge electromagnet 53 and the regulating electromagnet 48 are simultaneously and intermittently excited.

When the ejection electromagnet 53 is energized, the balls in the prize ball gutter 17 lined up between the first claw part 31 and the stopper 52 are ejected as described above, and if the ejection electromagnet 53 is intermittently energized several times, the balls are ejected several times as many times. The number of balls is ejected. Furthermore, when both electromagnets 48 and 53 are excited at the same time, the second claw portion 44 and the stopper 52 are energized as described above.
The balls in the prize ball gutter 17 lined up between the balls are ejected, and if the magnet is intermittently excited a plurality of times, a plurality of balls will be ejected.

Therefore, for example, if 15 pachinko balls are lined up between the first claw part 31 and the stopper 52, and nine pachinko balls are lined up between the second claw part 44 and the stopper 52, the second winning If a ball enters the opening 6' and wins a prize, 15 balls will be discharged as prize balls, and if a ball enters the third prize opening 7' and wins a prize, nine balls will be discharged as prize balls. Then, when the first detection unit 8 emits a signal after entering the first winning opening 5', the electromagnet 53
Only the electromagnets 48 and 53 are excited only twice, and both electromagnets 48 and 53
If the pachinko ball is intermittently excited only five times at the same time, a total of 75 pachinko balls will be continuously ejected and given to the player as prize balls. Therefore, the number of prize balls changes greatly depending on the winning state of the batted balls, making the pachinko game more interesting.

In the above configuration, each detection section and each electromagnet are electrically connected by an electrical control means including a timer circuit, and the timer circuit sets the excitation point of both electromagnets, and the counter circuit sets the excitation point of both electromagnets. In particular, it is possible to set the number of times both electromagnets are excited when a ball hits the first winning hole 5'.

Also, since the back mechanism was configured as described above,
As shown in FIG. 1, the storage gutter 2 and the prize ball gutter 17
An unformed area can be formed at least inside the area surrounded by the ball discharge gutter 18 and the prize ball discharge gutter 18. In the unformed area, there is a rear part of an electric game device such as a second prize opening 6', a large prize winning device equipped with a drive source, a link mechanism (not shown), a light emitting body, a variable display device, etc. It can also be projected backward from the back side of the game board. In the embodiment, the winning ball paths are arranged side by side, but they can also be arranged one after the other. In addition, in the above explanation, the first prize value and the second prize value are:
This is an expression for convenience of explanation, and any winning value may be given to any winning opening. For example, a large electric gaming device is installed at the position of the input prize opening 6',
The third prize winning section 7 can also be provided with a winning opening for starting the operation of the electrical gaming device.

Although the award ball trough 17 in this embodiment is illustrated as having a crank-shaped configuration, it is not limited to this, and may be a suitably inclined award ball trough or a vertical award ball trough.

Further, in the embodiment, one first claw part 31 is configured to enter and retreat into the prize ball gutter 17 through which the prize balls flow down in two rows, but in addition to the example, for example, two rows of prize balls can be arranged. For each gutter of the ball gutter 17,
The claw portion 31 may be exposed and actuated simultaneously by displacement of the first control rod 26.

[Effect of the invention] A first winning ball path and a second winning ball path are separately provided in the collection gutter corresponding to winning holes where the winning values of batted balls are different from each other, and each winning ball path has a winning ball. A detection means is provided to detect the winning balls flowing down each winning ball path, and the prize ball ejecting device is controlled based on this detection signal, so a mechanically tilting controller etc. as in the past is provided. There is no need,
Even when a large number of winning balls are generated, ball clogging or stopping of balls does not occur in each winning ball path, and the winning ball discharge operation can be performed smoothly and quickly.

Moreover, a first bent part is formed on the right side of the back mechanism panel to extend an inclined gutter, and a locking member is actuated by driving an electric drive source to a prize ball gutter that communicates with the inclined gutter. A prize ball discharging device configured to be able to discharge a predetermined number of prize balls is provided, and a discharge gutter is provided for guiding each prize ball detected by the first and second ball detection means, and the discharge gutter is , facing the outlet of the out port where the out balls flow down, a single discharge gutter merges the winning balls and the out balls to flow out of the machine, and the collecting gutter is connected to the first winning ball path and the second winning ball path. By providing a partition wall between the ball path and the winning ball path, both winning ball paths are integrally formed with a downward slope in the same direction. This makes it possible to significantly simplify the structure of the so-called back mechanism itself, which makes assembly and maintenance work easier.In addition, the prize ball ejector and prize ball are installed on the right side of the back side of the back mechanism panel. In addition, a single discharge gutter is constructed, with the outlet of the outlet facing the discharge gutter that guides the winning balls that have been detected by the detection means corresponding to each winning ball path. This allows the winning balls and out balls to merge and flow down to the outside of the machine, making it possible to greatly expand the unformed area formed in the center of the back of the game board compared to conventional systems. In the case of pachinko machines equipped with large electrical winning devices and variable display devices that have become popular in recent years, it is possible to easily install electrical devices such as larger winning devices and variable display devices. By setting the number of prize balls discharged low, the probability of winning a prize in a specific prize opening is increased, and even if the number of operations of the prize entry device and variable display device is increased, the profit balance between the player and the gaming parlor can be maintained. It can accommodate various game modes.

Furthermore, since the collection gutter and the winning ball path are integrally formed, there is no need to separately provide a gutter or the like as the winning ball path, which facilitates mass production and saves labor in the production process.
