Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine, and in particular, it is provided with a movable piece which is provided on the front surface of the game board and is isolated from the surrounding game area in a normal state, and has two winning areas of different nature inside. The present invention relates to a technique effective for use in a pachinko gaming machine provided with a variable winning device in which the movable piece is rotated by being triggered by a winning of a hit ball to a specific winning opening provided in a game area.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a pachinko game machine, in order to change the game contents and improve the service to the player, for example, a pair of wing-shaped movable pieces are provided in the center of the game board. There is provided a variable winning device in which a movable piece is reciprocally rotated by about 90 ° when a hit ball is won in a specific winning opening at the bottom of the game board. This variable winning device has two types of winning areas, a special winning area and a general winning area, inside the movable piece, and the moving piece is triggered once by the winning of a specific winning opening at the bottom of the game board. Alternatively, when the ball is rotated about twice, the surroundings of the variable winning device and the internal space are communicated with each other, and the hit ball flowing down the game area can be jumped in. When the ball hitting the inside of the variable winning device accidentally enters the special winning area, the movable piece is continuously rotated a plurality of times (for example, 18 times), and the movable piece is rotated a plurality of times (for example, 8 times).
The cycle can be repeated to generate a special profit state of increasing the possibility of hitting a ball into the variable winning device.

[0003]

Conventionally, in the variable winning apparatus of this type, the winning of the special winning area is only done by chance. Therefore, even when the special game state finally occurs after a long time of playing, the special game is repeated with the condition of re-winning the special winning area as a continuation condition, so the accidental factor is very strong and the special game is one cycle. It was often finished. Therefore, the special game has occurred, but the number of balls produced is small, and the game does not continue, so the player may not be satisfied. In addition, in the conventional variable winning apparatus, even though the movable member is controlled to open and close 18 times or 10 balls are won, one cycle is finished, but the hitting ball is satisfied before the above condition is satisfied. If he wins the special prize area again, he will start a new cycle. Therefore, even if the special game continued up to the maximum of 8 cycles, the special game might end without getting the expected payout.
This invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned inconvenience, and its purpose is to ensure that the highest payout is always given when a special game state occurs due to winning in the special winning area. Especially.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a restriction means in a variable winning apparatus having a general winning area and a special winning area which constitutes a continuation condition and is a special prize. Then, in the special game state generated by winning in the special winning area, when the condition preset in the electric control device is satisfied, the restricting means is activated to guide the hit ball hit to the special winning area.

[0005]

According to the means described above, once the special game state occurs, the special game can be continued without fail by shifting to the next cycle, and according to the highest condition within the set conditions, the special game can be performed. It will be executed and you will be guaranteed the best payout.

And are brought into communication with each other, so that the hit ball flowing down from above can flow in. Further, the lower movable members 54a and 54b are also pivoted outward (obliquely upward) in conjunction with the rotational movement of the movable members 52a and 52b, so that the internal space C of the apparatus is
And the surrounding game area are in communication with each other. by this,
The hit ball bounced back by colliding with an obstacle nail or the like in the game area can jump inward from below the device.

A decorative plate 56 imitating the shape of the body of the horse is mounted so as to cover the front ends of the rotary shafts 53 and 55, and a special game state in the variable winning device 5 is mounted in the center of the mounting plate 56. A segment type display 57 is attached to display the number of continuations when the occurrence occurs. At the center of the component board 50, the mounting hole 1 provided in the game board 1
A recess forming wall 58 protruding into a is integrally formed, whereby the movable members 52a, 52b and 54 are formed.
An internal space C surrounded by a and 54b is bulged rearward. A bottom wall 58a of the recess forming wall 58 is inclined downward toward the front, and a substantially horizontal flow dividing shelf 58b is formed at an intermediate position of the recess forming wall 58.

Also, at the bottom of the component board 50, the game board 1
Is formed integrally with a prize receiving frame 59 that projects forward from the surface of the front prize plate 60.
Is installed. The inside of the prize receiving frame 59 is divided into three by a pair of separating walls 59a, and the center entrance is a special prize area 61 that constitutes a special game generation condition and its continuation condition. Both right and left sides of this special prize region 61 The entrance of is a general winning area 62 for giving the same winning profit as the winning to the general winning opening 8 and the like. Prize winning frame 5
The bottom surface of 9 is inclined downward toward the rear to guide the winning balls to the back of the game board 1. Then, the special winning area 61
Corresponding to the above, on the back of the game board 1, there is provided a special winning detector 63 for detecting a hit ball.

The movable members 52a, 52b and 54
When a and 54b are rotated and brought into communication with the surrounding game area, the hit ball that has jumped inward from above flows down along the upper surfaces of the movable members 52a and 52b toward the winning prize frame 59. Drop directly, or once collide with the diversion shelf 58b to be guided backward and then drop onto the bottom surface 58a,
Then, it flows down toward the winning frame 59. Then, the special prize area 61 or the general prize area 6 in the prize receiving frame 59
Win either one of the two. Therefore, in this embodiment, in the special winning area 61 and the general winning area 62, there are provided winning restriction means 70a to 70c for enabling or blocking the winning of a hit ball, respectively. The prize-winning restricting means 70a-70c are composed of solenoids 71a-71c and restricting plates 72a-72c which are fixed to the plunger tips of the solenoids and can close the entrances of the respective winning areas. When 72c is raised, the entrance is blocked to prevent the hitting of the hit ball in each winning area, and when the plunger is contracted and the control plates 72a to 72c are lowered, the hitting ball can be hit in each winning area. .

An accommodating portion 58c is formed at the back of the bottom surface 58a of the recess forming wall 58, and an illumination lamp 6 is lit in the accommodating portion 58c when a special game state occurs.
4 are provided. In the space C inside the recess forming wall 58, a moving body 65 imitating the shape of a jockey and its operating rod 66 are provided so as to project, and the movable member 52 is provided.
It is adapted to be moved up and down by a drive source separate from the drive sources of a and 52b. The moving body 65 is normally hidden behind the decorative plate 51 so as not to be seen, but is operated so as to be seen and hidden temporarily when the special game state occurs and when the continuation condition is satisfied. It acts to enhance the interest of the game. Next, referring to FIG. 4, specific winning openings 7a to 7c
Based on the winning of the prize and the like, the drive sources of the movable members 52a and 52b of the variable winning device 5 and the winning restriction means 70a to 70c
An embodiment of the electric control device for controlling the drive of the drive sources 71a to 71c will be described together with the operation.

The detection signals of the winning detectors SW ₁ and SW ₂ provided corresponding to the specific winning openings 7b and 7c are supplied to the flip-flop F ₁ via the waveform shaping circuit 81. When a hit ball wins the winning openings 7b, 7c,
The flip-flop F ₁ is set and the output Q thereof is made high. Then, the AND gate G ₁ is opened, and the output Q ′ of the flip-flop F ₁ is opened.
(Q 'is an inverted signal of Q) is changed to low level, and the reset of the timer counter TMC is released via the AND gate G ₂ and the OR gate G ₃ . As a result, the output Q ₀ of the timer counter TMC (see FIG. 5)
Is supplied to the solenoid drive circuit DR ₁ through the opened AND gate G ₁ to drive the solenoid SOL ₁ to open / close the movable members 52a to 54b.

However, at the time when the first opening / closing operation of the movable members 52a-54b is completed, the timer counter TM
The output Q _{4 of} C changes to high level, and this is supplied from the AND gate G ₄ to the reset terminal of the flip-flop F ₁ via the OR gate G ₅ to reset it. Therefore, the AND gate G ₁ is closed, the output Q ₁ of the timer counter TMC is not supplied to the solenoid drive circuit DR _1, and the driving of the solenoid SOL ₁ is stopped. That is, the movable members 52a to 54b are opened and closed only once and stopped by winning the specific winning openings 7b and 7c.

On the other hand, the detection signal of the prize detector SW ₃ provided corresponding to the specific winning opening 7a is supplied to the _second flip-flop F ₂ via the waveform shaping circuit 82. When the shot to a particular winning hole 7a to winning, the flip-flop F ₂ is in the set state, the output Q is at a high level. Then, with this output Q, the first
The flip-flop F ₁ is set to the set state, the solenoid SOL ₁ is driven and the movable members 52a to 54b are opened and closed in the same manner as above. Thus, this time the output Q 'is a second flip-flop F ₂ because it is the low level, the AND gate G ₄ is closed, the output Q ₄ of the timer counter TMC, not applied reset the flip-flop F _1. Therefore, the movable members 52a to 54b are further opened and closed.

However, when the movable members 52a-54b are opened and closed twice, the output Q ₂ of the timer counter TMC changes to high level (FIG. 5). This is supplied to the flip-flop F ₁ via the OR gate G ₃ to reset it. As a result, the AND gate G ₁ is closed,
The supply of the output Q ₀ of the timer counter TMC is cut off and the driving of the solenoid SOL ₁ is stopped. That is,
The movable members 52a to 54 are provided by winning the specific winning opening 7a.
b is opened and closed only twice. Further, at the same time as the flip-flop F ₁ is reset, the flip-flop F ₂ is also reset to prepare for the next winning hit.

In this way, when the movable members 52a to 54b are opened and closed by winning the specific winning openings 7a and 7b, if the hit ball jumps into the variable winning device 5, the solenoid drive circuit DR ₃ is still present at that time. DR _{4 is} also not driven, and the solenoids SOL ₃ and SOL ₄ (71) constituting the winning restriction means 70a to 70c in the winning areas 61 and 62 below the variable winning apparatus are not excited, so that the winning areas of each winning area are not excited. Since the entrance is open, you can enter any prize area. At this time, when the hit ball wins the general winning area 62, the game state does not change and the movable members 52a to 54
b is opened and closed a predetermined number of times (once or twice), and the state is changed to the stopped state.

When a hit ball that has jumped into the variable winning apparatus 5 wins the special winning area 61, a special winning detector SW ₄ (63) provided correspondingly detects it, and the detection signal thereof is detected. Is supplied to the AND gate G ₆ via the waveform shaping circuit 83. Since this AND gate G ₆ is normally opened by the output of the OR gate G ₇ which takes the logical sum of the outputs of the counter CNT ₁ , the special winning detection signal is AN.
It is supplied to the _third flip-flop F ₃ through the D gate G ₆ and puts it in the set state. Further, the special winning detection signal is sent to the timer counter TM through the OR gate G _3.
It is supplied to C and is reset to start counting from "0" again.

When the special winning detection signal comes in, the output Q'of the flip-flop F ₃ changes to the low level and O
The reset state is released by being supplied to the _fourth flip-flop F ₄ via the R gate G ₈ . Therefore, the AND gate G ₉ is opened by the output Q ′ of the flip-flop F _{4 and} the output Q of the flip-flop F ₃ , and the output Q ₅ (see FIG. 5) of the timer counter TMC is supplied to the solenoid drive circuit DR ₂ and continues. Display member drive solenoid S
The OL ₂ is temporarily and repeatedly excited to move the moving body 65 up and down. The moving body 65 is moved up and down until the output Q ₁ of the timer counter TMC changes to a high level (about 1.6 seconds). When the timer counter output Q ₁ changes to a high level, the flip-flop is turned on. F ₄
Is brought to the set state, its output Q'changes to the low level, and the AND gate G ₉ is closed to end the operation. When the flip-flop F ₄ is set by the timer counter output Q ₁ , the output Q changes to high level and the AND gate G ₁₀ is opened.

As a result, the output Q ₀ of the timer counter TMC is supplied to the solenoid drive circuit DR ₁ , the solenoid SOL ₁ is driven, and the movable members 52a to 54b are opened and closed. The movable members 52a to 54b are 1
Since the output Q ₃ of the timer counter TMC is changed to the high level at the time of opening and closing eight times, the OR gate G _{1 1}
The third flip-flop F ₃ is reset via
Furthermore the flip-flop F ₄ is reset by the output Q changes to the low level by the output Q ', the AND gate -
Door G ₁₀ is closed. Therefore, the timer counter TM
Output to Q ₁ C is no longer supplied to the solenoid driving circuit DR _1, 1 cycle is completed when the movable member 52a~54b has 18 times the opening and closing operation.

On the other hand, when the special game as described above is started by the winning of the hit ball in the special winning area 61, the fifth flip-flop F ₅ is reset by the detection signal from the special winning detector SW ₄ . Its output Q'is changed to high level. Therefore, an AND gate G ₁₂ which takes a logical product with the high-level output Q of the third flip-flop F ₃ which is also set by the special winning detection signal.
Is changed to a high level and supplied to the solenoid drive circuit DR ₄ through the AND gate G ₁₃ which is opened similarly to the AND gate G _6, and the solenoid SOL ₄ is excited. As a result, when the special game is started, the winning prize restricting means 70a in the special winning area 61 is operated, and the entrance is closed by the restricting plate 72a, so that the special winning area 6
Winning 1 is prohibited. However, the solenoid SOL of the winning restriction means 70b, 70c in the general winning area 62
_In No. ₃ , the output Q of the flip-flop F ₅ is at a low level, so that the winning opening is not blocked.

Then, a detector SW ₅ for detecting a hit ball which has won in the variable winning device 5 since the special game is started
When the count value of the counter CNT ₂ input from the detection signal from the counter through the waveform shaping circuit 84 reaches 9, the AND gate G ₁₄ which uses the counter outputs Q ₀ and Q ₃ as input signals.
Output changes to high level and the flip-flop F ₅ is set. Therefore, excitation of the solenoid SOL ₄ by the solenoid driver circuit DR ₄ is stopped, the solenoid SOL ₃ instead is excited by the drive circuit DR _3.
Thereby, the winning restriction means 70 in the special winning area 61
a is released, and the winning restriction means 70 in the general winning area 62
b and 70c are operated, the entrance of the general winning area 62 is closed, and the entrance of the special winning area 61 is opened. That is, 10
The second winning ball is always forced to win in the special winning area 61, so that one of the movable members 52a to 54b is moved.
If there are 10 winning balls during the opening / closing operation of 8 times, the continuation condition of the special game state is always satisfied, and the process proceeds to the next cycle.

The above-mentioned counter CNT ₂ for counting the number of winning balls to the variable winning device 5 is reset by the detection signal from the special winning detector SW ₄ and starts counting, so that the specific winning opening before that. The number of hit balls won when the movable members 52a to 54b are opened / closed by winning the prizes 7a to 7c is not included in the count value. The hit ball that entered the special winning area 61 is detected by the detector SW ₄ and then detected again by the detector SW ₅ . Therefore, the counter CNT ₂ has a special winning area 6
The winning ball to 1 is counted as the first one after the start of the cycle, and normally it is cleared when counting to "9",
Do not count "10".

Further, the output of the counter CNT ₂ is decoded by the decoder DEC ₂ so that the segment type display LED ₂ displays the winning number in each cycle. When the tenth winning ball enters the special winning area 61 and advances to the next cycle, the detection signal from the special winning detector SW ₄ causes the counter CNT ₁ to count up, and the counter CN
By decoding the output of T ₁ by the decoder DEC ₁ , the number of continuations is displayed on the segment type display LED ₁ .

When the count value of the counter CNT ₁ becomes “8”, the outputs Q _{0 to} Q ₂ are input as O signals.
Even if the output signal of the R gate Q ₇ changes to the low level and the output Q ′ of the flip-flop F ₅ is at the high level, the AND gate G ₁₃ is closed and the solenoid SOL by the solenoid drive circuit DR ₄ is closed. Stop the driving of ₄ . The other solenoid SOL ₃ is not driven because the flip-flop F ₅ is reset by the special winning detection signal when the eighth continuation is started and the output Q is at the low level. For this reason, in the eighth cycle, none of the winning restriction means 70a to 70c is operated, and the entrance of the special winning area 61 and the entrance of the general winning area 62 are both opened.

However, in the eighth cycle, the AND gate G ₆ is closed by the output of the OR gate G ₇ ,
Even if the special winning area 61 is opened from the beginning, the detection signal of the special winning detector SW ₄ is not supplied to the flip-flop F ₃ . This avoids resetting the counter CNT ₂ after the start of the eighth cycle. Then, from the timer counter TMC, the signal Q ₃ for informing the 18th opening / closing or the outputs Q ₁ and Q ₃ of the counter CNT ₂ for counting the number of winning balls to the variable winning device 5 are used as input signals, and 10 AND gates G ₁₅ are used. When the signal informing the winning of the eye is output, the flip-flop F ₃ is reset by the earlier signal, and the special game state is ended. At the same time as the flip-flop F ₃ is reset, the counter CNT ₁ for counting the number of continuations is also cleared.

In the first to seventh cycles, if there are not 10 winning balls before the movable members 52a to 54b are opened and closed 18 times, the flip-flop is performed at that time by the output Q ₃ of the timer counter TMC. F ₃ is reset and the special game state is ended. As described above, in this embodiment, if 10 hit balls are won in the variable winning device while the movable member is opened and closed 18 times, the 10th ball is always operated by the action of the winning restriction means 70a to 70c. Enters the special prize area 61 and the special game state is continued up to the maximum of eight times. Moreover, the first to ninth balls hit into the variable winning device during each cycle are regulated so as to always win the general winning area. Therefore, without reaching the next cycle before reaching 10 pieces, when the special game is started, there is a very high possibility that the special game will be continued in accordance with the preset maximum game condition. It is possible to satisfy the customer's expectations sufficiently, and if a special game state occurs, the maximum payout will be guaranteed, so even beginners can get a lot of prize balls and the interest is enhanced. At the same time, the fairness of the service to the players can be achieved.

6 to 10 show a second embodiment of the variable winning apparatus 5. The same or corresponding parts as those of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the duplicated description will be omitted.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the winning restriction means 70b, 70 are provided in the general winning area 62 of the winning frame 59, respectively.
In contrast to the solenoids 71b, 71c and the regulation plates 72b, 72c that form the c, the regulation pieces 72b ', 72c' are provided on the rotary shaft 55 as described above in this embodiment.
Due to the provision, the general winning area 62 is empty without any restricting means. However, in the special winning area 61 at the center, as in the above-described embodiment, the winning restriction means 70a including the solenoid 71a and the restriction plate 72a is arranged.

The restricting pieces 72b ', 72c', which are the winning restricting means in this embodiment, are normally fixed straight downward as shown by the solid line in FIG. 6, but at the end of each cycle in the special game state. Before the winning ball (10th) enters, it is operated at the same time as the restriction plate 72a in the special winning area 61 that is moved downward, and is turned inward as shown by the chain line D in the figure, and the 10th ball The winning balls are controlled so as to be surely guided to the special winning area 61. The above regulation piece 7
