On the other hand , in the prize ball storage and discharge section F, as shown in FIG. 2, basically, similarly to the case of the conventional pachinko type game machine, a considerable number of pachinko balls to be replenished when necessary are preliminarily prized. From the upstream end tank 14 that stores as a sphere, to the downstream order,
A tank rail 15 for accommodating and rectifying a plurality of prize balls is connected to a deflection delivery gutter 16 to form an aligned delivery path,
A prize ball discharging device 17 for discharging prize balls for winning a prize is installed at the downstream end of this path. An inner prize ball discharge passage 18 having a sphere accommodating space of an appropriate size from the outlet downstream portion of the discharge device 17 and an outer ball discharge passage 19 are partitioned and formed in a branched state. As shown in FIG.
The discharge port 22 opened on the front surface is communicated with the upstream end of the dish portion 11a of the ball receiving container 11.

However, a ball flow switching valve 20 which is operated by appropriate means (not shown) is provided at a branch portion of both the paths 18 and 19, and the switching valve 20 is switched between closed (see FIG. 2) and open. On the basis of the change, the prize balls discharged from the prize ball discharging device 17 are divided into the prize ball discharge passage 18 side and the ball discharge passage 19 side so that the prize balls can be discharged. Further and switch 21 for detecting the storage amount of the discharged prize balls in the upstream portion of prize balls discharge passage 18 (level) is Installation, later spheres added as prize balls filled state upon detection operation of this switch 21 The device 27 is set to be temporarily stopped.

A ball-removing passage 23 for discharging the extra prize balls is formed between the lower outlet 22a opened on the lower bottom surface of the discharge port 22 and the rear portion of the outlet 24 of the ball receiving container 11. hand that the opening and closing valve 25 for the spherical vent that will be switched operated by an electromagnetic solenoid 26 is placed against Shimodeguchi 22a. The on-off valve 25 is connected to the rod 26a of the solenoid 26 while having one end thereof supported,
Based on the operating condition of the solenoid 26, the lower outlet 22a is maintained in a normal closed state and a ball-opening opened state. However, the open / close valve 25 can guide the outflow of the prize balls in the discharge port 22 in the closed state, and can guide the outflow of the prize balls into the ball removing passage 23 in the open state. Further, the solenoid 26 is set so as to be controllably changed between a normal rest state and an operating state (energized excitation) before and after the operation of the second ball removing operation button 13.

Then, in the ball insertion processing control unit G for the game balls, as shown in FIG. 2, a ball insertion device 27 is fixed at the lower back side of the front frame A. This device 27 takes in and ejects a certain number of game balls from the ball receiving container 11 for each operation of the ball input button 9 and discharges them.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the case main body 27A, a passage 28 through which a considerable number of game balls are inserted and exited, and a processing passage 31 and a return passage 30 that are branched and communicated with the downstream outlet of the passage 28 are formed. A ball cutting control member 34 which is connected to one electromagnetic solenoid 33 and takes in and discharges a fixed number of game balls in the passage 28, and a second electromagnetic solenoid 36 which is connected to return the game balls in the passage 28. The ball returning member 35 that allows the passage to the side of the road 30 is incorporated to form a unit as a whole.

That is, the passage 28 is formed to have a length capable of accommodating a predetermined number or more of prize balls in one row, and is communicated with the delivery port 11b of the ball receiving container 11 through the introduction port 29 at the upper end thereof. There is. The processing path 31 on the right side of the drawing is the path 28
The return path 30 on the left side pulls out all the game balls in the passage 28 to the outside at the end of the game, etc., while the fixed number of prize balls discharged from the game are discharged downward as the thrown balls for each game. put out. The processing passage 31 is joined with the ball removing passage 19 through a discharge gutter 31A partially shown in FIG. 2, and the return passage 30 is formed through a ball returning passage 32 as shown in FIG. It communicates with the extraction passage 23.

On the other hand, the first electromagnetic solenoid 33 is
A suction disc (also referred to as a core) 33a that is activated once each time the ball throwing button 9 is operated and protrudes at its lower end.
The magnetic force can be applied to the. The ball-cutting control member 34 has a frame shape having a size capable of accommodating the five game balls shown in the figure, and its central portion is supported by the support arm 33b on the solenoid 33 side so as to be tiltable, and the upper end thereof. An upstream regulating piece 34a for locking and releasing a game ball at a predetermined position (sixth in the figure) in the passage 28 is formed (the left end in the figure), and a downstream outlet of the passage 28 is opened and closed at the lower end (the right end in the figure). And, the downstream regulation piece 34b that locks and releases the game ball of the most preceding ball (the first one in the figure) is formed. Then, the member 34 is in the ball stopping (ball packing) state shown in FIG. 5 and the ball cutting (discharging) state shown in FIG. 6 in response to control changes in the suspension and operation of the solenoid 33 ( stop and action of the magnetic force ) . Is changed to. The second electromagnetic solenoid 36, the are operated appropriately on the basis of the operation of the first sphere unplug operating button 12 is adapted to drive the rod 36a with springs 37 to the left in the figure. The ball returning member 35 connected to the rod 36a is held movably in the left and right horizontal directions in the drawing below the passage 28, and the front end portion (right end portion in the drawing) of the ball returning member 35 is an opening / closing portion for the upper end inlet of the return passage 30. 35a is formed. The member 35 is the solenoid 3
6 is changed to the closed state shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and the ball return open state shown in FIG.
In addition, in the closed state of the member 35, the opening / closing part 35a can form the outlet bottom surface of the passage 28 to guide the passage of the game ball.

In the pachinko type slot machine of the present embodiment constructed as described above, the whole ball accommodating and discharging section E is installed in the lower front portion of the front frame A as shown in FIG. As a result, the symbol display game section B has a considerably large surface area, and the entire game section B can be easily seen from the first see-through window 5A of the see-through window section C. In such a machine, the time of each game is allowed to start each insertion of a game ball in place of conventional coin, and FIG pattern display gaming unit B is the times based on the operation of the player operating controller D The symbol combination game is developed, and the prize balls are discharged from the prize ball storing and discharging unit F and provided to the player side, that is, the ball accommodating and discharging unit E in response to the winning of the winning result.

The operation and operation of each part will be sequentially described as the operation of the machine. First, prior to the start of the game, the game balls thrown into the ball receiving container 11 of the ball storing and discharging section E are distributed while being aligned in the dish section 11a, and from the outlet 11b toward the ball throwing processing control section G. The passage 2 of the ball throwing device 27 in the state shown in FIG.
The balls are inserted into the ball 8 and housed and held by the ball-cutting control member 34 to be in a ball-stuffed state. Then, when the ball insertion button 9 in the game operation control section D is operated under this condition, the first electromagnetic solenoid 33 in the ball insertion device 27 is appropriately operated based on the signal via electric control means (not shown). When it is operated, a magnetic attraction force is generated on the suction plate 33a. As a result, the ball cutting control member 34 receives the magnetic attraction force and is changed into the horizontal ball cutting state shown in FIG.
While the game ball is prevented from entering by entering into the upstream part of, the downstream restricting piece 34b is retracted to the upper outside of the outlet of the passage 28 to release the most preceding ball.

As a result, the constant number of game balls in the passage 28 are discharged to the processing path 31 and processed as thrown balls (used balls), and the game is set to the start state under this condition. Then, after the process of inserting the game ball, the solenoid 33 is returned to the rest state again, and the ball cutting control member 34 is returned to the original ball-stuffing state due to the disappearance of the magnetic adhering force to accommodate the next game ball. It is held in a standby state in a ball-slicable state (see FIG. 5). After that, in response to the operation of the sphere throwing button 9 as described above, the constant sphere is thrown in based on the operation of the solenoid 33 and the sphere cutting operation of the sphere cutting control member 34.

Under the condition that each game is started, up to three coins can be inserted at a time with conventional coins, so that the ball insertion button 9 can be operated continuously up to three times. In response to this, the solenoid 33 and the ball cutting control member 34 are operated once each for the number of button operations to discharge the constant ball. By the way, in the operation condition of the button 9, the right display section 6b is pressed once.
1 winning line 6a related to "1", 3 winning lines 6a related to "2" in 3 times, and 3
5 times (all) winning lines related to "3"
The winning right for winning the symbol combination in 6a is obtained.

After the game start state described above,
When the start lever 7 of the game operation control section D is operated in the same manner as in the case of the conventional machine, the first and the first of the symbol display game section B are appropriately driven based on the signal via drive control means (not shown). The two symbol display devices 1 and 2 are actuated simultaneously to start rotating the respective display devices 1a and 2a in a predetermined direction to change the symbol. Next, when the respective stop buttons 8 and 8 are operated, based on each signal in the operation sequence,
The displays 1a and 2a of both devices 1 and 2 are sequentially stopped at appropriate timing for each column corresponding to the order of button operation. Then, after the symbols are fixedly displayed on all the display devices 1a and 2a, it is determined whether or not the winning is achieved, and the first symbol display device 1
In, the symbol combination arranged on the winning establishment line 6a related to the right display part 6b for the game ball throwing condition is determined, while in the second symbol display device 2, the symbol combination in a horizontal row across each display 2a is determined. The determination is made and the game of the current time is ended.

Each time the game is finished, the prize balls are discharged from the prize ball storing and discharging section F when it is determined that the winning is established. That is, if one or both of the first and second symbol display devices 1 and 2 have a winning combination, the score and the number of prize balls set for the symbol combination are the respective display means 3 of FIG. Under the example displayed in 10 ,
The prize balls corresponding to the points are discharged from the prize ball discharging device 17 every predetermined number of units, and thereafter, the prize balls are discharged from the prize ball discharging passage 18 to the discharge port 22.
It is discharged to the dish portion 11a of the ball receiving container 11 through and is filled as a game ball. Then, in this award ball discharge situation, the game can be performed based on the above-described operation, and on the premise that the number of award balls to be acquired is larger than the number of game balls used and used, the award balls (gaming balls) are After being filled in the dish portion 11a, they are sequentially stored over the discharge port 22 and the prize ball discharge passage 18, and are filled up to the upstream side of the discharge passage 18.

When the prize balls in the prize ball discharge path 18 reach a predetermined level and the switch 21 is operated in the process of filling and storing the discharged prize balls as described above, the switch 21 operates (ON) to detect the prize ball full state. On the basis of the signal, the first electromagnetic solenoid 33 of the ball throwing device 27 is temporarily set to an inoperative state via an electric control means (not shown), and the device 27 is operated regardless of the operation of the ball throwing button 9. Is
The ball is cut and kept inactive. This state is released by removing at least the prize balls in the prize ball discharge path 18. That is, when removing the filled prize ball, the second ball removing operation button 13 is operated to appropriately remove the ball on the prize ball storing and discharging section F side through the electric control means (not shown) based on the signal. The electromagnetic solenoid 26 in the means is activated. Open / close valve 2 accordingly
5 is changed to the ball-opening open state of FIG. 4 to open the lower outlet 22a of the discharge port 22, so that the stored prize ball is the same as the lower outlet 2 of FIG.
The ball receiving container 11 is introduced from 2a into the ball removing passage 23.
Is taken out toward the outlet 24 of the.

As a result, the number of prize balls in the discharge path 18 decreases, and the switch 21 released from the prize balls returns to the original non-detection state (OFF) again. Will be released
The ball throwing device 27 is set back to the initial ball-cutting ready state, and the game can be developed. The game progress

In this way, when removing the balls which the player owns at the end of the game, the respective balls are removed. That is, the state in which the number of balls is relatively small, that is, the passage 28 of the ball throwing device 27 and the dish portion 11 of the ball receiving container 11
In the state where the ball remains over the area a, the first ball-pulling operation button 12 is operated, and based on the signal thereof, the ball throwing device 27 side of the ball throwing device 27 side is appropriately transmitted through an electric control means (not shown). The second electromagnetic solenoid 36 in the ball removing means is activated. Accordingly, the ball returning member 35 is moved to the ball removing position of FIG. 7 and the return path 30 is opened by the opening / closing part 35a thereof, so that the remaining ball is transferred from the return path 30 through the ball returning path 32 to the back side ball. It is returned to the extraction passage 23. On the other hand , when the number of balls is relatively large, that is, when a considerable amount of prize balls remain up to the prize ball discharge path 18 side, both the first and second ball removing operation buttons 12 and 13 can be operated. desirable. According to this, each button 1
Based on the operations of 3 and 12, the balls can be collectively removed from both the lower outlet 22a of the discharge port 22 on the back side and the return path 30 of the ball throwing device 27 and returned to the ball removal passage 23, as described above.
