[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is converted into a special profit state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game state by satisfying the special condition during the general game state, and further specific continuation conditions are satisfied under this special profit state. The above is related to the variable winning device for pachinko machines, where the previous special profit status is continuously given.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, for example, when a jackpot state occurs as a result of a variable display game performed by a variable display device (a special condition is satisfied), a special winning opening is opened under a predetermined condition, which is a player-friendly state. (Special profit status), and under one special profit status, the winning ball wins the continuous winning opening (establishment of the continuation condition), and this special profit status is repeated up to 16 times. Winning devices are known.

In this type of device, the device itself does not have a function of controlling the probability of the continuation condition being satisfied, that is, the probability of winning the continuous winning a prize in the above example. Therefore, in the above example, an appropriate number of obstacle nails were planted on the game board in the middle of the flow path of the game balls leading to the continuous winning hole, and the winning probability was controlled by adjusting these obstacle nails. .

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, not only is it difficult to adjust the nails by the means for implanting the obstacle nails in this way, but the bending of the nails becomes noticeable if the adjustments are repeated many times. Moreover, since the obstacle nails are to be planted on the game board, the nail adjustment work must be done for all the pachinko machines after installing the pachinko machines in the store. Furthermore, in the nail adjustment, since the adjustment is performed after the store is closed, the winning probability predicted by the previous adjustment will remain as it was until the next adjustment date, and the winning probability will be changed during the game to change the game content. Can not give the variety of. The present invention is intended to solve the above problems.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is converted into a special profit state that is advantageous to the player from the general game state by satisfying special conditions during the general game state, and under this special profit state, further specific continuation When the conditions are met, the previous special profit state is continuously given next time, and in the variable winning device of the pachinko machine, the swingable ball on which the winning ball that has flowed in under the special profit state is rollably placed The receiving member, the swinging means for selectively inclining the ball receiving member in at least two directions, and the ball receiving member on the downstream side of the inclination of the ball receiving member tilted in one direction by the swinging means. The structure is provided with a continuous winning detection means for detecting a moving winning ball as a continuous winning ball.

[0006]

[Function of the device]

 According to the present invention, the winning sphere that flows in during the special profit state is swiftly flown in a predetermined direction according to the inclination direction of the ball receiving member. Therefore, the probability of continuous winning is determined by the number of seconds the tilted state of the ball receiving member toward the continuous winning detecting means is maintained in the special profit state, or the number of ball receiving members detected by the continuous winning detecting means. It can be freely selected by means such as tilting in another direction.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings illustrating an example of the embodiment. FIG. 1 is a front view of the game board. On this game board, a variable display device 10 for determining whether or not a special condition is satisfied during a general game, and a jackpot state (establishment of a special condition) as a result of a variable display game performed by the variable display device 10 are generated. Accordingly, there is provided a variable winning device 20 in which the opening / closing door 21 is opened and the special winning opening 22 is opened under a predetermined condition.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the variable winning device 20. This variation winning device 20 is a mounting board 23 for mounting the device 20 on a game board, a big winning opening 22 opened substantially in the center of the mounting board 23, and a big winning opening on the surface side of the mounting board 23. 22 is normally closed and has an opening / closing door 21 that opens when a special condition is satisfied, a recessed chamber 30 on the back side of the mounting substrate 23 that receives a winning ball that flows in from a special winning opening 22, and the like.

The opening / closing door 21 is tilted and opened forward in the game board so that the bottom side of the special winning opening 22 is tilted to the back so that the back side of the opening / closing door 21 flows down on the game board surface. It receives a game ball and plays a function of guiding it to the special winning opening 22. In addition, reference numeral 24 shown in FIG. 2 is a fastening hole for passing a fastening screw when the mounting board 23 is mounted on the game board, and reference numerals 25 and 25 are general winning openings.

The recessed chamber 30 rises from the upper side and the left and right sides of the special winning opening 22 formed in the mounting board 23 and is located between the back surface of the mounting board 23 as if covering the special winning opening 22. An enclosing frame 31 formed at a distance of at least one game ball, and a ball receiving member that closes the lower part of the enclosing frame 31 and receives a winning ball flowing in from the special winning opening 22 and mounts it rotatably And 33.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the ball receiving member 33 as viewed from the back side of the mounting substrate. The ball receiving member 33 shown in the figure is a member formed in the shape of a band plate having a width for mounting one game ball, and extends downward at both ends of the band plate by bending at a substantially right angle. End plates 34, 34, and the band is generally U-shaped.

Further, the ball receiving member 33 is pivotally mounted on the back surface side of the mounting substrate 23 via a shaft inserted into a bearing 35 formed in the width direction on the center back surface in the longitudinal direction. That is, the strip-shaped ball receiving member 33 of the embodiment is located on the lower surface side of the special winning opening 22 on the back surface side of the mounting substrate 23 and along the back surface of the mounting substrate 23 so as to close the bottom of the surrounding frame 30. The mounting board 23 extends in the left-right direction, and is swingably mounted so as to perform a seesaw motion around a bearing 35 at the center in the longitudinal direction.

In FIG. 3, in the right and left corners of the recessed chamber 30 at both ends of the ball receiving member 33 pivotally mounted so as to be swingable, a prize which is rolling down due to the inclination of the ball receiving member 33. Winning ball processing chambers 36, 36 are formed for ejecting the balls one by one to the outside of the recessed chamber 30 and at the same time detecting the released winning balls one by one. The winning ball processing chambers 36, 36 of the embodiment are located on the left and right lower end sides of the surrounding frame 30, respectively, and in combination with the back surface of the mounting substrate 23, receive the winning balls from the ball receiving member 33 from the side surface side. It is a box-shaped room with a flow path that discharges each from the bottom side.

Further, on the bottom surface (floor) of each of the winning ball processing chambers 36, 36 of the embodiment, thin rectangular parallelepiped type detectors 41, 42 each having a detection hole 40 through which one game ball can pass are provided on the back surface of the game board. The detector itself 41, 42 is inserted into and removed from the direction toward the mounting substrate 23, and the detectors 41, 42 also serve as the bottoms of the winning ball processing chambers 36, 36. Although the detectors 41 and 42 of the embodiment are proximity switches equipped with magnetic sensors, they may be optical sensors or contact switches. Reference numeral 37 in the figure is a guide groove formed to guide and hold the inserted detectors 41 and 42 from both sides.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the ball receiving member 33 as viewed from the rear side of the game board. The swinging means of the ball receiving member 33, that is, the driving of the seesaw movement, uses the solenoid 50 as an electric drive source in the embodiment, and the forward and backward movement of the piston lot 51 of the solenoid 50 is performed by the operating rod 52. And the swing restricting hole 38 of the ball receiving member 33 into which the operating rod 52 is engaged and inserted, is converted into the swing motion of the ball receiving member 33. The rocking restricting hole 38 of the ball receiving member 33 is formed in a side plate 39 that covers one side surface of the ball receiving member 33 formed in a U-shape as a long hole having a shallow V-shape. . Further, the solenoid 50 as the swinging means is arranged along the side plate 39 of the ball receiving member 38 so that the piston rod 53 runs substantially parallel to the swinging restriction hole 38. The tip of the operating rod 52 extending from the tip end side is inserted into the swinging restriction hole 38. Therefore, the ball receiving member 33 can be swiftly changed from one side to the other side by operating the swinging means 50 according to the development situation of the game and the establishment of appropriate conditions.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, when the solenoid 50, which is the swinging means, is demagnetized, the spring force of the spring 53 wound around the piston lot 51 causes the piston lot 51 to move. Is moved forward so that the ball receiving member 33 is inclined toward the detector 42. Then, in the present embodiment, the detector 42 simply counts the winning balls flowing into the concave chamber 30 from the special winning opening 22 (see FIG. 2) in the special profit state. As a means.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. 6, when the swinging means solenoid 50 is excited, the spring force of the spring 53 wound around the piston lot 51 is increased. Against this, the piston lot 51 is retracted so that the ball receiving member 33 is inclined toward the detector 41. Further, in this embodiment, the detector 41 is used as a continuous winning ball detecting means in the special profit state.

Next, the operation of the apparatus shown in the above embodiment will be described. When the game ball wins a predetermined winning opening during the game in the general game state, the variable display device 10 is started and the variable display game is started. As a result of the game, when the variable display device 10 is in the special stop state and the special prize mode, that is, the jackpot condition as the special condition is established, the opening / closing door 21 of the variable fluctuation winning device 20 is opened, and the special winning opening 22 Opens under certain conditions, converting it to a special profit state that is advantageous to the player. Then, under this special profit state, the electric drive source 50 is used to incline the ball receiving member 33 toward the continuous winning award detecting means 41 side or the award winning ball counting detecting means 42 side.

For example, when the special profit state (so-called “big hit state”) starts, the electric drive source 50 is used to incline the ball receiving member 33 toward the continuous winning detection means 41 side, and the continuous winning detection means 41. When one of the winning balls is detected, the ball receiving member 33 is tilted toward the winning ball counting and detecting means 42 side, and the tilted state is maintained until the winning ball counting and detecting means 42 detects ten winning balls. When is detected, the ball receiving member 33 is tilted again toward the continuous winning detection means 41.

When the ball receiving member 33 is inclined toward the continuous winning detection means 41 side, the inflowing winning ball is guided according to the inclination of the ball receiving member 33 and rolls down on the ball receiving member 33. Almost all of them are detected as continuous winning, and it is promised that the special profit state of the number of times corresponding to the number of winnings (up to 16 times) will be continuously repeated. It

On the other hand, when the ball receiving member 33 is inclined toward the winning ball counting and detecting means 42 side, the inflowing winning balls are guided according to the inclination of the ball receiving member 33 and roll on the ball receiving member 33. It flows down, and almost all of them are detected as simple prize balls, and prize balls are paid out according to the number of prize balls. The probability of continuous winning is surely increased in proportion to the number of times the ball receiving member 33 is tilted toward the continuous winning detecting means 41 and the length of time the tilted state is extended. It should be noted that how much this probability is set is, for example, whether the opening / closing door 21 of the variable winning device is always open under the special profit state, depending on the content of the game. It is appropriately selected in consideration of whether or not it is repeated.

[0022]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, it is possible to guide the winning sphere that flows in during the special profit state in a predetermined direction according to the inclination direction of the ball receiving member, so that the probability of continuous winning is determined by the continuous winning detecting means. Depending on the selection, such as how many seconds the tilted state of the ball receiving member should be maintained, or how many balls should be detected by the continuous winning detection means, the ball receiving member should be tilted in another direction. Compared to this, it can be set in the fluctuation device itself more reliably. Therefore, unlike the conventional method, it is not necessary to perform nail adjustment which is uncertain and unsightly, and which is troublesome to adjust to each pachinko machine. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the tilt direction can be alternately changed to the direction detected by the continuous winning detection means and the direction not detected under the special profit state, so that the game contents can be diversified. It is also possible to provide a pachinko machine with a wide range of tastes.
