Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a ball game machine represented by a pachinko game machine, a coin game machine, and the like, and more particularly, to a ball game machine in which a ball is hit in a game area to perform a game.

[Prior art]

Among the ball game machines of this type, one generally known in the past has been described in, for example, JP-A-59-115070. In this conventional ball game machine, a variable winning ball device that can be changed between a first state that is advantageous to the player and a second state that is disadvantageous to the player is provided in the game area, and is predetermined. When the specified specific game state occurs, the variable winning ball device is controlled to be in the first state so as to be able to give a relatively large game value to the player. The aim was to equalize the game services by giving equal opportunities to be given great game value.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

In this type of conventional ball game machine, when the predetermined number of winning balls are won in the variable winning ball device in the first state, the first state of the variable winning ball device is ended. A prize winning ball detection switch for counting the number of prize winning balls provided in the variable prize winning ball device was provided. However, since this winning ball detection switch is composed of a micro switch, which is a contact-type switch, the contact part is abraded due to the detection of a large number of winning balls per day, and the life of the detection switch is extended. For a short time, the game cannot be detected during a game, and there is a risk that the first state of the variable winning ball device will not end even though the predetermined number or more of winning balls have won in the variable winning ball device. . On the other hand, conventionally, as a detection switch for detecting a replenishing ball to be replenished from the outside of the machine into the ball game machine or a detection switch for detecting a driving ball discharged from the machine to the outside of the machine,
A contactless switch that detects the passage of a ball on the basis of a change in capacitance when the ball passes is described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 56-47684. This conventional detection switch is an LC with a coil and a capacitor.
It has an oscillating circuit, both electrodes of the capacitor are provided facing the ball passage path, so that the oscillating frequency of the LC oscillating circuit changes by changing the capacitance of the capacitor when a metal ball passes. Is configured. A tuning circuit that tunes with the LC oscillating circuit is provided, and it is detected that the tuning with the tuning circuit becomes inconsistent due to a change in the oscillation frequency of the LC oscillating circuit when the ball passes. It was configured to detect the passage of balls. The conventional contactless detection switch configured as described above is used as winning ball detection means for detecting a winning ball that has won a variable winning ball device when the variable winning ball device is in the first state. It is conceivable to eliminate the drawbacks of the contact type detection switch. However, in such a case, it is necessary to provide a detection switch at a position where the prize winning ball that can be detected in the variable prize winning ball device is detected, and the detection switch mounting space is secured with a large margin. Even though it is difficult to do so, in the conventional detection switch, not only the LC oscillating circuit but also the tuning circuit that tunes to the LC oscillating circuit must be provided, and the detection switch becomes large accordingly and the variable It has a drawback that it is unsuitable as a winning ball detection switch for detecting a winning ball to a winning ball device. The present invention has been conceived in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to detect a winning ball that has won a prize in the variable winning ball device that is in the first state due to the occurrence of a specific game state. An object of the present invention is to provide a ball game machine which avoids the inconvenience that the life of the detection switch is short and can attach the winning ball detection means without securing a large installation space.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention is a ball-and-ball game machine in which a ball is hit in a game area to play a game, and specific game state detection means for detecting that a predetermined specific game state has occurred, and the game area A variable winning ball device that is provided and is capable of changing between a first state that is advantageous to the player and a second state that is disadvantageous to the player, and the variable winning ball device is variable when the variable winning ball device is in the first state. The winning ball detecting means for detecting the winning balls that have won the winning ball device, and the variable winning ball device is controlled to the first state based on the detection output of the specific game state detecting means, and a predetermined period has elapsed or the winning The variable winning ball apparatus is brought into the second state when the earlier condition of the predetermined number of winning balls detected by the ball detecting means is satisfied, and the predetermined repeat continuation condition is satisfied. , The second state And a drive control means for repeatedly and continuously controlling the variable winning ball device to the first state, and a count for counting the number of times of repeating the first state of the variable winning ball device. The winning ball detecting means includes a coil and a condenser.
A detector that includes an LC oscillating circuit and detects the winning ball based on the stop of the oscillation of the LC oscillating circuit due to the counter electromotive force generated in the coil when the winning sphere passes near the coil. The detector is characterized in that the detector having the LC oscillation circuit is built in the detector and that the detector is thin and thinner than the diameter of the hitting ball.

[Action]

According to the present invention, when a predetermined specific game state occurs, the variable winning ball device is controlled to the first state which is advantageous to the player, and a predetermined period has elapsed or a ball hitting the variable winning ball device. When the winning condition, whichever is earlier, is satisfied by the winning ball detecting means for detecting the winning of the predetermined number of winning balls, the variable winning ball device is brought into the second state and is set in advance. When the repeated continuation condition is satisfied, the variable winning ball apparatus in the second state is repeatedly and continuously controlled to the first state. The counting means counts the number relating to the number of repeat continuations in which the repeat continuation control to the first state of the variable winning ball device is performed. Further, the winning ball detecting means includes an LC oscillating circuit having a coil and a capacitor, and when the winning ball passes near the coil, a counter electromotive force is generated in the coil and LC is generated.

However, remember that this invention was created as an object.
I will add this in order.

【The invention's effect】

As described above, the present invention involves the occurrence of the specific game state because the first state of the variable winning ball device associated with the particular game state is repeatedly and continuously controlled in accordance with the establishment of the repeat continuation condition. The real pleasure of the game can be repeatedly provided to the player, and the player can be greatly satisfied. Furthermore, it becomes possible for the counting means to count the number related to the number of times of repeated continuation in which this repeated continuation control has become a great service for the player. In addition, the winning ball detecting means for detecting the winning ball that has won the variable winning ball device in the first state includes the LC oscillation circuit, and the winning ball passes near the coil of the LC oscillation circuit. Oscillation of the LC oscillation circuit is temporarily stopped by the back electromotive force, and because it is a non-contact type detection means that detects the winning ball based on the stop of the oscillation, wear etc. does not occur at the contact part, It is possible to prolong the life of the winning ball detecting means and prevent the disadvantage caused by the winning ball detecting means becoming undetectable during the game as much as possible. Further, in the case where the first state of the variable winning ball device is repeatedly and continuously controlled, a large number of winning balls are won in the variable winning ball device by the repeated and continuously controlling operation, and the winning ball detecting means is used. It is detected, but because a lot of winning balls have to be detected every time such repeated continuation control is performed, a non-contact type detecting means including an LC oscillating circuit is adopted as the winning ball detecting means. Providing a ball game machine that can satisfy both the request to repeatedly provide the pleasure of the game with the occurrence of the game state and the request to avoid the undetectable state of the winning ball detection means I was able to do it. Moreover, this non-contact type detection means detects the winning ball based on the stop of the oscillation of the LC oscillation circuit by temporarily generating the counter electromotive force in the coil of the LC oscillation circuit when the winning ball passes. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a tuning circuit for the LC oscillation circuit. In other words, in the case of the type that the oscillation frequency of the LC oscillation circuit changes when the winning ball passes and the winning ball is detected based on the change in the frequency, a tuning circuit for the LC oscillation circuit is provided to determine the oscillation state of the LC oscillation circuit. Must be detected and the tuning circuit is out of tune with the tuning circuit, and a tuning circuit is required.In the case of the present invention, the oscillation of the LC oscillation circuit occurs when the winning ball passes. Since it is temporarily stopped, it is not necessary to purposely provide a tuning circuit, and the winning ball detecting means can be downsized accordingly. And the winning ball detection means,
Since it has a built-in detection circuit with an LC oscillation circuit and is composed of a thin detector thinner than the diameter of the hit ball,
The winning ball detecting means can be attached without securing such a large installation space.
