Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a ball dedicated to a slot machine for playing a game using a ball instead of a medal or a coin.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a slot machine in which a game medium is replaced by a medal and a pachinko ball is used has been proposed and known.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, the value of one pachinko ball rented at a game hall and one medal for a slot machine are different depending on the law. Currently, each pachinko ball is lent for 4 yen, and each medal is lent for 20 yen.

For this reason, if a slot machine is installed in a game hall so that it can be used by pachinko balls, the pachinko balls handled by the slot machine will have 5 pachinko balls for the consideration of one medal in order to equalize the loan consideration rate. Therefore, the number of balls handled will increase dramatically.

If the game medium to be handled is a pachinko ball and the number of pachinko balls handled increases, the weight of one pachinko ball is 5g to 6g, and the problem is that the game becomes more troublesome. Since a large amount of pachinko balls are supplied and discharged on the slot machine side, the mechanical design of the ball storage hopper, counter, or payout mechanism is also very different from that of medals. There is no choice but to make special efforts in terms of speed.

The present invention is a game medium dedicated to a slot machine that uses balls instead of medals and coins, and can be used for conventional pachinko machines and slot machines that use this game medium with conventional medals. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sphere suitable as a game medium exclusively for a slot machine, since it is possible to prevent the sphere.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The structure of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is characterized in that a spherical body having a diameter larger than that of a pachinko ball and smaller than the diameter of a medal for a slot machine is formed of a synthetic resin or a metal having a smaller specific gravity than iron. is there.

[Action]

Since this ball dedicated to the slot machine has a larger diameter than the pachinko ball, it cannot be used for a pachinko machine, and mischief or misuse of the pachinko machine can be avoided.

Further, since the sphere is formed to have a smaller diameter than the medal for the slot machine, it is possible to prevent the conventional medal from being inserted into the slot machine using the special sphere.

Moreover, since the sphere is made of synthetic resin or metal having a smaller specific gravity than iron, it has a diameter larger than that of a pachinko sphere.
The weight of each piece can be made small, and even a large quantity does not weigh more than a pachinko ball.

〔Example〕

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an example of a ball exclusively used for a slot machine according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing another example.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a main body of a sphere for exclusive use with the present invention, which is appropriately made of synthetic resin or aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and the main body 1 is made of a material having a specific gravity sufficiently smaller than iron. The diameter is about twice that of a sphere, and the diameter is smaller than the diameter of a medal used in an existing slot machine.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a weight body embedded in the central portion of the body 1 in order to give the body 1 a weight feeling (feeling when held in the hand).
Is the second when the forming material of the main body 1 has a relatively large specific gravity.
It is unnecessary as shown in the figure.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a plating layer formed on the outer surface of the main body 1 by chromium, titanium, or the like.
When the main body is aluminum, it may be formed of so-called hard alumite or the like.

Thus, the dedicated sphere constructed as above has a diameter D
Is larger than that of a pachinko ball, for example, about 20% larger to about 2 times or less, and smaller than the diameter of a known game medal for slot machines. effective.

[Effect of device]

That is, the dedicated ball has a larger diameter than a pachinko ball,
Since it is a ball for slot machines with a diameter smaller than the medal for slot machines, it is thrown into a pachinko machine by mischief,
It cannot be used by mistake, and because it has the same diameter and the same diameter as pachinko balls, there is no risk of confusion even if the loan consideration differs from pachinko balls. In other words, if you use this one ball for a loan consideration equivalent to, for example, one medal for a slot machine, a slot machine that uses a pachinko ball instead of a medal will compare with the original number of medals handled. Although it was necessary to handle four times the quantity, it is possible to greatly reduce the handling quantity in the rental of the dedicated balls of the present invention for slot machine games and the processing of handling the dedicated balls in the machine. It should be noted that it is optional whether or not the dedicated ball is set at a higher price than the conventional medal.

In addition, the ball for exclusive use with the present invention is made of a material having a small specific gravity even if it has a large diameter, so it does not become heavier than a pachinko ball, and is convenient in handling in combination with the reduction in the handling quantity. Is.

Moreover, since the diameter of this special ball is formed to be smaller than the diameter of medals for conventional slot machines, the conventional game medium medals are inserted into the sphere insertion section of the slot machine that is designed to use this special ball. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wrong use or mischief of the game medium between the slot machine using the medal and the slot machine using the ball for exclusive use with the present invention.

Since the present invention is as described above, it is extremely useful as a dedicated ball for a slot machine of a type using a ball.
