Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent shot balls from scoring a prize in succession by forming the ball inlet of a starting prize hole and a prize opening at different angles to the direction of rotation of a rotor. CONSTITUTION:A ball inlet 84 allowing shot balls coming from a playing area to pass therethrough is formed by notching the upper portion of an enclosing frame 83 provided protrusively on the front side of a mounting base 81 and a rotor 85 is freely rotatably provided within the enclosing frame 83. A recessed portion 86 in the outer periphery of the rotor 85 is formed deep enough to accomodate one prize ball and a prize opening 89 which allows prize balls to pass therethrough is opened through the back side of the mounting base 81 slightly biased to the direction of rotation of the rotor 85 from the position at which the ball inlet 84 is formed. Therefore, even if a plurality of shot balls reach the ball inlet 84 continuously, when the first shot ball P5 is received in the recessed portion 86 the next shot ball P6 is placed on the upper portion of the first shot ball P5 and is not received in the recessed portion 86 but waits at the ball inlet 84; therefore, even if the shot balls reach the rotor 85 continuously, they can surely be prevented from scoring a prize in succession.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention changes from a second state, which is unfavorable to a player, to a first state, which is advantageous to a player, based on a starting winning opening and winning of a ball hitting the starting winning opening. The present invention relates to a ball game machine provided with a variable winning ball device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a game state is maintained in a specific game state, a variable winning ball device is operated until a fixed time (for example, 10 seconds) has elapsed based on the winning of a ball hitting a starting winning port. Or, the ball is opened until a predetermined number of winning balls have been generated before the elapse of a certain period of time, and such a variable winning ball device is repeatedly opened every time there is a winning of a hit ball at the starting winning port. A gaming machine was proposed. In such a ball game machine, regardless of the number of times the variable winning ball device is opened, when a predetermined number of hit balls are won in the starting winning port, the specific game state ends and the normal game state is restored. Therefore, it is desirable that the winning of the hit ball at the starting winning port and the opening of the variable winning ball device are alternately performed. For this reason, it has been proposed to provide a starting winning opening with a rotating body having a recess for receiving a hit ball, and to rotate the rotating body at substantially the same period as the opening time of the variable winning ball device.

[0003]

By the way, in the above-described starting winning opening, a ball entrance from the game area to the concave portion and a winning opening for guiding the hit ball received in the concave portion to the back surface of the game board are of a rotating body. Since they match perfectly in the direction of rotation, when multiple balls hit the ball entrance in succession, multiple balls may continuously go through the recesses and enter the winning opening. It was When such a situation occurs, even if an attempt is made to process one ball at a time with a rotating body at predetermined time intervals, such processing will not be performed as a result,
There has been a problem that the number of hits at the starting winning port has priority over the number of times the variable winning ball device is opened, and the specific game state ends early. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a ball game machine provided with a starting winning port in which hit balls do not continuously win.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, a starting winning opening and a second disadvantage which is disadvantageous to a player based on the winning of a ball hitting the starting winning opening.
In a ball game machine provided with a variable winning ball device that changes from the state of 1 to a first state that is advantageous to the player, the starting winning hole is a mounting substrate for mounting on a game board,
A movable body which is movably provided on the front surface of the mounting substrate and has at least one concave portion for receiving one hit ball;
The ball entrance for guiding the ball hitting the game board to the moving body, and the winning opening for opening the ball hit on the mounting board and received in the recess, the ball entrance and the ball entrance. The winning opening is formed so as to be offset from the moving direction of the moving body.

[0005]

When the ball hitting the game board reaches the moving body from the ball entrance and is received in the recess, the ball remains in the recess at that time, and the moving body slightly moves to make the recess. When the winning opening matches the winning opening, the player is led to the winning opening. Then, when the concave portion and the winning opening match, the ball entrance and the concave portion do not completely match. Therefore, even if multiple ball hits reach the ball entrance in succession, when the first ball is received in the recess, the next ball is placed on top of the first ball and received in the recess. Not waited, wait at the ball entrance. Then, when the first batting ball is taken into the winning opening as the recess moves, the recess and the ball entrance do not match, so the next batting ball waiting at the ball entrance is received in the recess. Instead, the moving body is moved and is received in the concave portion when the concave portion and the ball entrance are next matched. As described above, in the present invention, the ball entrance and the winning opening are formed so as to be offset from each other in the moving direction of the moving body.
Even if the hit balls continuously reach the moving body, it is possible to reliably prevent them from winning continuously.

Further, when the power is turned on, the initial reset circuit 94 gives a reset signal to the basic circuit 91, and the periodic reset circuit 95 gives a periodic reset signal to the basic circuit 91 at predetermined time intervals.

On the other hand, the basic circuit 91 supplies control signals to the following devices and circuits. That is, the motor circuit 96
A drive signal is applied to the motors 58 and 87 via the, and an audio signal is applied to the speaker 7 via the sound circuit 97. In addition, the basic circuit 91 provides a drive signal to a big hit information output circuit 98 that outputs a big hit signal (right generation signal in the case of the present embodiment) to the outside. In addition, the LED circuit 99
Through the variable display 42a, 42b, the operation number display LE

66, the number of times of opening display LED65, and decoration LED-A ~
A display control signal is given to D, and the solenoid 17 and the open / close solenoids 64a, 6a are provided via the solenoid circuit 100.
A drive signal is given to 4b. Further, the lamp circuit 101
A display control signal is sent to the game effect lamp 10, the shoulder lamp 21, the sleeve lamps 23a and 23b, the windmill lamps 28a and 28b, the side lamps 29a and 29b, the rail decoration lamp 30, and the accessory lamps 68 and 69 via. Electric power having various voltages is supplied from the power supply circuit 102 to the above-described devices and circuits.

An example of the specific operation of the game control circuit described above will be described with reference to the timing charts and explanatory diagrams shown in FIGS. First, FIGS.
The variable display operation of the variable displays 42a and 42b will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a timing chart showing the variable display control of the variable indicators 42a and 42b when the hit ball passes through the passage opening 24. 11 and 12 show
It is explanatory drawing explaining the selection method of the hit symbol determined when a hit ball passes through the passage opening 24. FIG. 13 is a timing chart showing changes in the probability that the variable display devices 42a and 42b derive the specific display result.

In the figure, when the hitting ball passes through the passage opening 24 and the passage switch 25 is turned on, and the passage signal T1 is derived, if there is a high probability at the rise of the passage signal T1, from random A to low. If there is a probability, one value is extracted from each random B. Random A is shown in FIG.
As shown in, it is a random number for determining whether or not there is a winning symbol at a high probability, and is 33 of "0 to 32" after the power is turned on.
Random B is shown in Fig. 1
As shown in 2, it is a random number for determining whether or not it is a winning symbol at a low probability, and 330 numerical values of "0 to 329" fluctuate every moment after the power is turned on. In addition, FIG.
As shown in (1), when 0.008 seconds or 0.014 seconds have passed since the passage signal T1 was derived, random 1 and random 2
From which one value is extracted. Random 1 and Random 2 determine the symbols displayed on the variable displays 42a and 42b, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, in the case of Random 1, “0 to 9” is displayed. Ten different numerical values change every moment, and in the case of random 2, "0-
Eleven different numbers up to 10 ”are changing every moment. Then, when the numerical value extracted from the random A or the random B is, for example, "2", it is determined to be a hit, and when the value of the random 1 extracted at that time is an odd number, the variable indicators 42a and 42b display "3". "3" is displayed, and when the value of Random 1 is an even number, "7.
7 ”is displayed. On the other hand, when the numerical value extracted from Random A or Random B is other than "2", it is determined to be off, and the values of Random 1 and Random 2 extracted at that time are displayed as they are on the variable displays 42a and 42b. Become. However, if it coincides with the winning symbol by chance, "1" is added to the random 1 to display it as a deviating symbol.

By the way, the probability that the winning symbol is displayed is greatly different between the high probability and the low probability, but the variation of this probability is controlled as shown in FIG. In other words, after the power is turned on, the variable display operation with a low probability is performed until the end of the first right generation game state (operation stop of the special device),
The probability is changed from a low probability to a high probability based on the deactivation of the first special device. For this reason, the second right generation game state may occur in an extremely short cycle. Then 2
When the second right occurrence game state occurs, the probability is changed from the high probability to the low probability, and then the low probability is changed to the high probability based on the end of the second right occurrence game state. As a result, the third right generation game state may occur in an extremely short cycle. Then, when the third right occurrence game state occurs, the probability is changed from the high probability to the low probability, but even after the third right occurrence game state ends, the change from the low probability to the high probability is made this time. I don't know. In other words, in the present embodiment, once the right generation game state is entered, the right generation game state appears three times in a short cycle, and thereafter, the operation is controlled to be repeated. Note that the above-mentioned probability variation may be set arbitrarily, and does not necessarily have to be controlled as in the above-described embodiment.

As described above, when the passing signal T1 is derived, it is determined whether or not the symbols displayed on the variable indicators 42a and 42b are hit, and the symbols displayed at the time of stop are also determined. After the completion of the above (in this embodiment, after 0.016 seconds to 0.022 seconds have passed since the passage signal T1 was derived), the fluctuations of the variable indicators 42a and 42b are started at the same time. Then, in the variable display of the one variable display 42a, during the basic time (5.504 seconds), the fluctuation time of one symbol is 0.128 seconds and one cycle is 1.280 seconds (displayed as fluctuation speed A). ) Is set, and when the basic time elapses, the stop symbol is set and the variable display is stopped.

On the other hand, in the variable display of the other variable display 42b, when the stop symbol displayed on the variable display 42a which stops first is not the winning symbol (when not in the reach state) and when it is the winning symbol ( In the reach state), the display is variably displayed in a different manner. Therefore, first, the fluctuation display when not in the reach state will be described. As a basic time, the time until the fluctuation of the variable display 42a that stops first is set, and during the basic time, the fluctuation time of one symbol is 0. In 128 seconds, one cycle is set to 1.408 seconds (displayed as fluctuating speed B) and variable display is performed. Then, after the lapse of a fixed time (1.544 seconds) after the end of the basic time, the stop symbol is set and the variable display is stopped. It should be noted that the fluctuation speed for a fixed time after the elapse of the basic time is also set to the fluctuation speed B.

Next, the fluctuation display in the reach state will be explained. Until the fluctuation of the variable indicator 42a which stops first stops, the fluctuation speed is set to the fluctuation speed B and the fluctuation display is performed. After that time has elapsed, one symbol has a variation time of 0.384 seconds and one cycle has a slowest variation speed of 4.224 seconds (displayed as a variation speed C), and a relatively long constant time. (4.608 seconds) A variable display and then stop. However, the stop symbol is set when the basic time has elapsed.

The variable displays 42a, 42 are arranged as described above.
The game after b stops changing display is shown in FIG. 14 and FIG.
Shown in. FIG. 14 is a timing chart showing the operation of the variable winning ball device 15 when the stop symbol is a hit, and FIG. 15 is a variable display when the stop symbol is out and there is passing memory. It is a timing chart which shows the change display mode of containers 42a and 42b. Therefore, referring to FIG. 15, the case of disconnection will be described below.
After the variable display of the two variable indicators 42a and 42b is stopped, it is determined whether or not the combination of the stop symbols is a win, for confirmation when a fixed time (0.512 seconds) has elapsed. As a result, when it is determined to be out of alignment, the variable display 42a, again after a minute time (0.016 seconds) has elapsed,
The variable display of 42b is started.

Next, with reference to FIG. 14, the case of a hit will be described. When a fixed time (0.512 seconds) has elapsed after the variable display of the two variable indicators 42a and 42b is stopped, the confirmation is confirmed. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the combination of the stop symbols is a win. As a result, when it is determined that the hit is made, after the determination, a relatively long time (6.0
After the elapse of 00 seconds), the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is opened for a fixed time (5.888 seconds). After the opening time has elapsed, the variable displays 42a and 42b do not immediately start the variable display even if there is passage memory, but a relatively long fixed time (8.01).
After 6 seconds), the variable display is started.

By the way, the rotation of the rotating body 50 of the special variable winning ball device 40, which has always been rotating, is stopped before and after the variable winning ball device 15 is opened for a fixed time. It is executed based on the detection signal of the device 59. Then, the motor 58 of the rotating body 50 is stopped based on the derivation of the detection signal of the stop position detector 59 after the determination (in this case, there is a width of 0 to 6.000 seconds).
Then, such a stopped state continues at least until the opening operation of the variable winning ball device 15 is completed (therefore, the stop time has a width of 5.888 seconds to 11.888 seconds). The rotation of the rotator 50 is started 2 seconds after the opening operation of the variable winning ball device 15 is completed.

As described above, the hit balls received during the opening of the variable winning ball device 15 are guided to the receiving recess 52 formed in the rotating body 50 in the special variable winning ball device 40 to enter the specific winning area 54. Then, when the specific winning ball detector 34 is turned ON, the right generation game state is set. Then, when a ball hitting the game area 14 during the right generation game state wins the starting winning opening 80 and turns on the starting winning ball detector 32,
As shown in FIG. 16, the starting signal S1 is derived. Figure 1
6 is a timing chart showing the operation of the ball receiving members 61a and 61b as variable winning ball devices when a hit ball is won in the starting winning opening 80. In the figure, when the start signal S1 is derived, the ball receiving members 61a and 61b are continuously opened for a fixed time (9.504 seconds). Even if a hit ball wins the starting winning opening 80 before a slightly longer time (longer by 0.304 seconds) including this opening time, the opening based on it is performed immediately. Rather, after the opening operation of the ball receiving member 61a, 61b is completed, the ball receiving member 61 based on the winning in the starting winning port 80, provided that the right generation game state continues.
The opening operation of a and 61b is performed. However, in the present embodiment, it is impossible to continuously hit the starting winning opening 80, and the starting winning opening 8 is provided only in the cycle substantially equal to the opening time.
Since it is not allowed to win a ball at 0, the ball receiving member 61
It is very unlikely that the ball hits the starting winning opening 80 while opening a and 61b.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 17 to 20, the operation of the variable indicators 42a and 42b, the lamps, the LEDs, and the speaker 7 which are displayed according to each game state will be briefly described. In addition, in the figure, double circles indicate a fluctuation state, circles indicate a lighting state, and a display with a cross in a circle indicates
Indicates a blinking state.

First, in a normal game state in which the power is turned on, the variable indicators 42a, 42b (hereinafter, symbols 42a, 4)
2b), the number-of-operations display LED20, the number-of-opens display LED65, and the number-of-wins display LED66 are lit to display 0, and the decorative LED-B is blinking at a cycle of 496 ms. Speaker 7
Not driven at all. However, when the gaming state is at a high probability, the gaming effect lamp 10 blinks at a cycle of 496 ms to notify that effect.

Next, when the hit ball passes through the passage port 24, one symbol 42a is variably displayed in a cycle of 1280 ms, and the other symbol 42b is variably displayed in a cycle of 2112 ms. Further, at this time, the decorative LED-B is blinkingly displayed at a cycle of 248 ms, and the side lamps 29a, 2
9b and sleeve lamps 23a and 23b are also displayed in blinking at a cycle of 248 ms. Further, the game effect lamp 10 is also blinkingly displayed at a cycle of 496 ms only when the probability is high. Further, the passage memory display LED 43 is lit and displayed from the upper left side in accordance with the stored value of the number of winning balls won in the passage opening 24, and the operation number display LED 20 is, as described above, when the appearance cycle of the right generation game state is short. It displays the number of times of operation of the right generation game state in, and blinks at a cycle of 256 ms so as to sequentially count down 3 → 2 → 1 every time the special device operates (every time the right generation game state occurs), and thereafter. , 0 is lit and displayed, and the number-of-opening display LED 65 counts down and displays 16 opening operations, as described above.
The blinking display at a period of 56 ms counts down from 6, and the winning of the eighth hit at the starting winning opening 80 is counted down from 9 by the lighting display. Pass winning memory display LED 43, operation number display LED 2 described above
The operations of 0 and the number-of-opening display LED 65 are the same in each state described below. Therefore, in the following description,
Omit it. Further, the winning number display LED 66 also displays 0 as long as the ball receiving members 61a and 61b are not opened. In addition, a sound effect A for notifying that the variable display is being performed
Is generated, and when the left symbol 42a is stopped, the sound effect B is generated.

Further, when one of the symbols 42a is stopped and the reach state is reached, the one symbol 42a naturally displays the winning symbol "3" or "7" and the other symbol 42b. Shows a variable display at a cycle of 4224 ms. Further, at this time, the decorative LED-A is turned on, and the decorative LEDs-B and C, the rail decorative lamp 30, the side lamps 29a and 29b, the sleeve lamps 23a and 23b, and the accessory lamps A and B have a fast cycle of 128 ms. In addition to blinking display, at high probability, the game effect lamp 10 also blinks at a cycle of 128 ms. Also, a sound effect C is generated to notify the reach state.

After stopping the symbols 42a and 42b, in a short time (0.512 seconds) until the determination, the symbol 42
The stopped symbols are lit up and displayed on a and 42b, and the windmill lamp 2
8a and 28b are lit and displayed.

After the symbols 42a and 42b are stopped, when the winning symbol is displayed, the variable winning ball device 15 is driven. Regarding the driving of the variable winning ball device 15, two variable winning ball devices 15 will be described. It is divided into stages. of course,
During these two stages, the symbols 42a and 42b have "3.
The winning symbol of "3" or "7.7" is displayed in a lit state.
After the hit, in the first stage, that is, before the opening of the variable winning ball device 15 (6,000 seconds), the windmill lamp 28
All the lamps and decorative LEDs except a, 28b and the shoulder lamp 21 perform a blinking display at a cycle of 248 ms or a multiple of 248 ms, and generate a sound effect D to notify that it is a hit.

After the hit, in the second step, that is, during the opening of the variable winning ball device 15 and after the opening (8000 seconds), the decorative LEDs-A to C are turned on, and the decorative LED-D and all of them are turned on. Lamp blinks at a cycle of 128 ms or a multiple of 128 ms. However, the sound effect E
Is generated, and after the release, the sound effect F is generated.

When the right generation game state occurs based on the opening of the variable winning ball device 15, that is, while the special operation is operating, the symbols 42a and 42b indicate any one of the above states, and the decorative LED. -A to D do not work at all.
However, the lamps other than the windmill lamps 28a and 28b, the shoulder lamp 21, and the sleeve lamps 23a and 23b perform blinking display at a cycle of 500 ms. In addition, a sound effect H is generated when the operation of the special device is started, and a sound effect I is generated when the operation is continued.
Is generated.

During the operation of the above-mentioned special device, when the ball hits the starting winning port 80 and the ball receiving members 61a, 61b are opened, all the decorative LEDs and lamps have a cycle of 128 ms or a multiple of 128 ms. A blinking display and a sound effect J are generated. Also, the ball receiving member 61
In the minute time (0.304 seconds) after the opening of a and 61b, the rail decoration lamp 30 and the windmill lamp 28a,
28b and sleeve lamps 23a and 23b except lamps and decorations L
The ED blinks and displays a sound effect K at a cycle of 100 ms. However, when the operation of the special device is stopped halfway, the sound effect L is generated and the ball receiving member 61a,
At the final opening of 61b, the sound effect M is generated.

When an abnormality occurs, the passing winning memory display LED 43 and the operation number display LED 20 maintain the state before the abnormality occurs, the opening number display LED 65 displays "E", and the winning number display LED 66 is as described above. Numerical values 1 to 4 corresponding to the type are displayed. Also, the side lamp 2
While 9a and 29b remain lit, the sound effect G is also generated. Then, the winning number display LED 66
The abnormality based on the numerical value displayed in is as described in the margin of FIG.

Although the structure of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment has been described above, in the starting winning a prize opening 80 with a rotating body provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, a ball hitting the game area 14 is dropped. From ball entrance 84 to rotating body 85
When the ball is reached and is received by the recessed portion 86, the hitting ball remains in the recessed portion 86 at that time, and the rotating body 85 slightly rotates so that the recessed portion 86 and the winning opening 89 coincide with each other. Is guided to the back surface of the mounting substrate 81.
Then, at the time when the concave portion 86 and the winning opening 89 match, the ball entrance 84 and the concave portion 86 do not completely match.
Therefore, even when a plurality of ball-hitting balls successively reach the ball entrance 84, when the first ball-hitting ball is received by the recess 86, the next ball-hitting ball is placed on top of the first ball-hitting ball and recessed. It is not accepted by 86 and waits at the ball entrance 84 part. When the first hitting ball is taken into the winning opening 89 due to the rotational movement of the recess 86, the recess 86 and the ball entrance 84.
Therefore, the next hitting ball waiting at the ball entrance 84 is not accepted by the recess 86, the rotating body 85 makes one rotation, and then the recess 86 and the ball entrance 84 are aligned. Sometimes it is received in the recess 86. As described above, in the present embodiment, the ball entrance 84 and the winning opening 89 are formed so as to be offset with respect to the rotating direction of the rotating body 85, so that even if the hitting balls reach the rotating body 85 continuously, It is possible to surely prevent the player from winning the prize continuously.

In the above embodiment, the ball receiving members 61a and 61b as the variable winning ball devices are opened for a certain period of time based on the winning of the starting winning opening 80. The variable display device may be variably displayed for a certain period of time based on the winning. In this case, the rotation cycle of the rotating body 85 of the starting winning opening 80 may be set to be substantially equal to the variable display period of the variable display device.
Further, in the starting winning opening 80 according to the above-described embodiment, the ball entrance 84 and the winning opening 89 are slightly deviated, but the deviation angle may be large or small.

In the above embodiment, the moving body provided in the starting winning opening 80 is the rotating body 85, but other moving body may be used.
For example, as shown in FIG. 21, a rocking body 1 that rocks to the left and right
It has a starting winning opening 110 having 14, a starting winning opening 120 having a left and right moving body 124 that slides left and right as shown in FIG. 22, and an up and down moving body 134 that moves vertically as shown in FIG. The starting winning opening 130 may be used. These will be briefly described below.

First, referring to FIG. 21, the starter winning opening 110 with an oscillating body will be described. FIG. 21 is a front view of the start winning opening 110 with a swinging body. In the figure, the swing-start start winning opening 110 has a mounting substrate 111 mounted on the surface of the game board 12. On the upper part of the front surface of the mounting board 111, arc-shaped obstacle projections 112a are arranged at predetermined intervals.
112b is provided as a protrusion, and the distance between the obstacle protrusions 112a and 112b is configured as a ball entrance 113 through which a hitting ball entering from the game area 14 can pass, and the obstacle protrusion 112 is also provided.
An oscillating body 114 is oscillatably provided in the lower portion of a and 112b. The rocking body 114 is driven by a motor (not shown) fixed to the back surface of the mounting substrate 111 so as to be rockable in the left-right direction, and has two recesses 115a and 115b formed in the upper portion thereof. Recess 11
5a and 115b are formed to a depth for receiving one winning ball. Further, the mounting substrate 11 slightly displaced from the formation position of the ball inlet 113 in the swinging direction of the swinging body 114.
On the left and right sides of 1 are formed winning openings 116a and 116b through which winning balls can pass on the back surface of the mounting substrate 111.

In the start-up winning opening 110 with an oscillating body constructed as described above, the oscillating body 114 can be always oscillated to the left and right in a constant cycle after the power is turned on. The oscillating cycle is the right generation game state. Special variable winning ball device 4 at time
The swing control is performed in a cycle substantially equal to the opening time of the ball receiving members 61a and 61b of 0. Then, in the start-up winning a prize opening 110 with an oscillating body whose oscillating is controlled in this way,
When the hitting ball P7 falling in the game area 14 reaches the rocking member 114 from the ball entrance 113 and is received in the one recess 115b, the hitting ball P7 remains in the recess 115b at that time, and the rocking member 114 is Swing to recess 115b
When the winning opening 116b matches the winning opening 116b
It is guided from b to the back surface of the mounting substrate 111. When the recess 115b and the winning opening 116b coincide with each other, the ball entrance 113 and the other recess 115a coincide with each other and the next hitting ball P8 is received in the recess 115a.
Since 15a and the other winning opening 116a do not match, the hit ball P8 received in the recess 115a is not guided to the winning opening 116a. Subsequent ball hits P9, P1
The above operation is repeated for 0. As described above, in this embodiment, the ball entrance 113 and the winning openings 116a, 1
Since 16b and the swinging body 114 are formed so as to be displaced with respect to the swinging direction of the swinging body 114, it is possible to reliably prevent continuous winning of the balls even if the hitting balls continuously reach the swinging body 114. it can.

Next, the start-up winning opening 120 with the left and right moving bodies will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22 is a front view of the start winning opening 120 with the left and right moving bodies. In the figure, the right-and-left moving body-equipped starting winning opening 120 has a mounting board 121 mounted on the surface of the game board 12. Mounting board 12
1, horizontal obstacle protrusions 122a and 122b are provided so as to be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval.
The distance between a and 122b is configured as a ball entrance 123 through which a hitting ball entering from the game area 14 can pass.
The left and right moving bodies 12 are provided in the lower portions of the obstacle protrusions 122a and 122b.
4 is provided slidably in the left-right direction. The left-right moving body 124 is slidably driven in the left-right direction by a motor (not shown) fixed to the back surface of the mounting substrate 121, and has one recess 12 at the top thereof.
5 is formed. The recess 125 is formed to a depth for receiving one winning ball. Also, the ball entrance 12
On the left and right of the mounting board 121, which are slightly displaced in the swinging direction of the left-right moving body 124 from the formation position of 3, the winning openings 126a and 126b through which the winning balls can pass on the back surface of the mounting board 121.
Has been established.

In the starting winning opening 120 with the left and right moving bodies constructed as described above, the left and right moving bodies 1 have been installed since the power was turned on.
24 is always slid to the left and right in a fixed cycle, and the movement cycle is controlled to move in a cycle substantially equal to the opening time of the ball receiving members 61a and 61b of the special variable winning ball device 40 in the right generation game state. .. And
In the right-and-left moving body-equipped starting winning port 120, which is controlled to move in this manner, a hitting ball P1 falling in the game area 14
When 1 reaches the left and right moving body 124 from the ball entrance 123 and is received by the recess 125, the hitting ball P1
1 remains in the recess 125, and the left-right moving body 124
Is moved and the concave portion 125 and the winning opening 126a coincide with each other, and is guided to the back surface of the mounting substrate 121 from the winning opening 126a. At the time when the recess 125 and the winning opening 126a match, the ball entrance 123 and the recess 125 do not match, so the next hitting ball P12 waits at the ball entrance 123 portion, and the left and right moving body 124 reverses. Move in the direction and ball entrance 1
When 23 and the recess 125 coincide with each other, the hitting ball P12 is received in the recess 125 and carried to the other winning opening 126b. The above operation is repeated for the subsequent hitting ball P13. Thus, in this embodiment, the ball entrance 12
3 and the winning openings 116a and 116b
Since the ball is formed so as to be shifted with respect to the moving direction of the ball, even if the ball hits the left and right moving bodies 124 continuously, it is possible to reliably prevent them from winning continuously.

Next, referring to FIG. 23, the start-up winning opening 130 with vertical moving body will be described. FIG. 23 is a front view of the starting winning opening 130 with the vertical moving body. In the figure, the start-up winning opening 130 with vertical moving body has a mounting board 131 mounted on the surface of the game board 12. Mounting board 13
A U-shaped obstacle protruding piece 132 is provided on the upper part of the front surface of the mounting board 131 at a position surrounded by the obstacle protruding piece 132.
The winning opening 136 is formed in the
The space between the left and right ends of the ball and the vertically moving body 134 in the lowered position is configured as a ball entrance 133 through which a ball hitting from the game area 14 can pass. The vertical moving body 134 is
It is driven movably in the vertical direction by a motor (not shown) fixed to the back surface of the mounting substrate 131, and one recess 135 is formed in the upper part thereof. The recessed portion 135 is formed to a depth for receiving one winning ball.

In the start-up winning opening 130 with vertical moving body constructed as described above, the vertical moving body 1 is operated from the time of power-on.
34 is always moved up and down in a fixed cycle, and its movement cycle is controlled to move in a cycle substantially equal to the opening time of the ball receiving members 61a, 61b of the special variable winning ball device 40 in the right generation game state. Then, the starting winning opening 130 with the vertical moving body, which is controlled in this way,
In, when the hitting ball P14 falling in the game area 14 reaches the vertical moving body 134 from the ball entrance 133 and is received in the recess 135, the hitting ball P14 remains in the recess 135 at that time and moves vertically. When the body 134 moves upward and the concave portion 135 and the winning opening 136 coincide with each other, the body 134 is guided to the back surface of the mounting substrate 131 from the winning opening 136. Then, at the time when the concave portion 135 and the winning opening 136 coincide with each other, the ball entrance 133 is not formed. Therefore, the next hitting ball passes through the ball entrance 133 portion and drops in the game area 14, and the vertical moving body 134 is moved downward. Move in the direction of the ball entrance 133
