Therefore, when the cam driving motor 75 rotates and the cam shaft 72 rotates, the engagement between any one of the operating cams 71 and the cam receiving piece 69 is released, and the cam receiving piece 69 is fitted into the recessed portion 70. The arm 66 rotates by its own weight, and the distribution member 64 descends from the through hole 62. Therefore, the sphere flowing down the inclined bottom plate 61 falls from the descending distribution member 64. On the other hand, since the cam receiving pieces 69 of the other arms 66 are in contact with the actuating cams 71, these arms 66 rotate upward and cause the sorting member 64 to project above the inclined bottom plate 61. Therefore, the sphere flowing down the inclined bottom plate 61 cannot flow into these distribution members 64, and hits the distribution member 64 to change the flow direction. Incidentally, among the distribution members 64, the height of the distribution member 64 located at the center is slightly lower than the heights of the other distribution members 64, and any distribution member 64 has an inclination of the inclined bottom plate 61. Therefore, it is adapted to be sufficiently lowered from the through hole 62. In addition, a guide piece 80 is provided at the lower edge of the through hole 62 so as to slightly project upward, so that the flowing ball can easily enter the descending distribution member 64. The above-mentioned first tongue piece 58 and second tongue piece 60 correspond to each of the above-mentioned distribution members 64, and when the distribution member 64 is raised, the ball falling from the ball drop port 57 is the inclined bottom plate 61. It is provided so as not to enter the sorting member 64 that is jumping up and rising.

In addition, in this embodiment, a motor is used as the electric drive source 63, but each distribution member is formed by a solenoid or the like.

Below each of the sorting members 64, a continuous switch case 82 in which a continuous winning switch 81 is arranged is provided to collect balls falling from each of the sorting members 64 and to detect the continuous winning switch 81. A continuous winning switch 81 may be provided corresponding to each sorting member 64.

A ball receiving opening 83 is provided on the downstream side of the inclined bottom plate 61, that is, on the lower edge of the opening 22. According to the illustrated embodiment, the ball receiving opening 83 extends the ball receiving frame 84 on the front surface of the mounting substrate 24, and slightly bulges the lateral center of the ball receiving frame 84 in a mountain shape.
The bottom plate of the ball receiving frame 84 is formed with a gentle downward slope in the lateral direction, and a ball inlet 85 is opened in the mounting base plate 24 at the lower end position of the slope. Therefore, the sphere that has flowed down the inclined bottom plate 61 forward falls from the front edge of the inclined bottom plate 61 onto the bottom plate of the sphere receiving frame 84, and is discharged to the rear of the mounting substrate 24 from either the left or right ball inlet 85. Then, the discharged balls are detected by the 10-count switch (not shown) together with the balls detected by the continuous winning switch 81.

Further, in the winning device 11 shown in the figure, the ball storing means 86 is provided in the upper concave chamber 26a. This sphere storing means 86 has a stopper 88 having a substantially semicircular sphere receiving portion 87 in a plan view.

That is, the stopper 88 has an operating rod 90 penetrating the rear wall 25a of the rear case 25 in a swingable manner, and an intermediate portion of the operating rod 90 is pivotally attached to a support arm 25b extending to the rear side of the rear case 25 to operate. A plunger of a driving solenoid 89 is pivotally attached to the tip of the rod 90. The driving solenoid 89 is fixed to the motor mounting plate 76 described above. Therefore, in the normal state where the driving solenoid 89 is demagnetized, the stopper 88 rises and the ball cannot be stored on the upper surface of the middle slope 55, but when the driving solenoid 89 is excited, the plunger rises and operates. Since the rear end of the rod 90 rises, the ball receiving portion 87 on the front end side moves down,
The sphere can be stored at 87. When the drive solenoid 89 is demagnetized, the stopper 88 rotates and the ball receiving portion
Release the sphere stored at 87.

By the way, the special prize hole that creates a profit state in which the player can proceed with the game advantageously, unless the winning rate is set lower than the general prize hole which is a normal prize,
The profit balance between the player and the pachinko parlor cannot be balanced. Therefore, also in the present embodiment, the control means controls any one of the distribution members 64 to be an effective special winning opening so that the winning rate of the special winning opening is lower than that of the general winning opening. To do. That is, when any one of the sorting members 64 is descending, the other two sorting members 64 are rising, and thus the rising sorting member 64 cannot win the ball. Disabled. Then, the balls which cannot be won in the descending distribution member 64 flow down the inclined bottom plate 61 and are provided in the ball receiving port 83 provided at the front edge.
To get a normal prize. Therefore, in this embodiment, the movement of the distribution member 64, in other words, the operation cam 71, the cam driving motor 75, etc., constitutes the control means. As described above, in the present embodiment, the mechanical control means is adopted, but the continuous winning switch is provided for each of the plurality of distributing members, and any one of these continuous winning switches is enabled. It may be electrically controlled, for example. It should be noted that the player determines which distribution member 64 is the special winning opening,
You can check by checking the state of.

In the case of the above-mentioned embodiment, the distribution member 64 side is the special winning opening,
Although the ball socket 83 side is set to be a general winning hole,
As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the distribution member 64 side can be set as a general winning opening and the ball receiving opening 83 side can be set as a special winning opening. That is, the opening 91 is provided on the rear side of the distribution member 64 ', and the upper end of the distribution member 64' is closed in an inclined shape corresponding to the inclination of the inclined bottom plate 61. Then, when the distribution member 64 ′ is retracted from the through hole 62 of the inclined bottom plate 61 in the same manner as in the above-mentioned embodiment, the sphere flowing down the inclined bottom plate 61 is distributed to the upper part of the inclined bottom plate 61 during the flow. It is taken into the opening 91 of the member 64 ', discharged through the distribution member 64' to the lower side of the inclined bottom plate 61, and the general winning is made. On the other hand, the balls that have not been taken in on the way flow down the slanted bottom plate 61 to the end, flow into the ball receiving port 83 set as the special winning port, and become the special winning. The continuous winning switch 81 is exposed downstream of the ball receiving port 83 to detect the ball flowing into the ball receiving port 83.

Then, although not shown, on the downstream side of the ball receiving port 83, a 10-count switch for detecting the ball flowing into the ball receiving port 83 together with the ball flowing into the distributing member 64 is faced, and the concave chamber
The number of spheres flowing into 26 is counted, and the 10-count display lamp 33 provided in the armor portion 29 visually displays the state of sphere inflow to the player.

The outer surface of the rear case 25 of the winning device 11 described above is subjected to processing such as mountain-shaped cuts to diffusely reflect light.
When 11 is attached to the game board 5, the rear case 25 is positioned in the mounting opening opened in the ball gathering cover (not shown), and the rear case 25 is illuminated from the surroundings by the decorative lamp group arranged around the mounting opening. You can also do it. Therefore, when the decorative lamp group is turned on or blinked, the concave chamber
26 The whole is shining and the decorative effect is remarkably increased, the structure of the winning device 11 can be simplified, the winning device 11 can be easily replaced, and the back mechanism of the ball gathering cover light can be commonly used. There is also an economic effect.

According to the winning device 11 as described above, one of the plurality of distribution members 64 becomes a special winning opening, or a plurality of general winning openings are formed, so that the path of the ball flowing into the special winning opening is set. It is difficult to predict, and the winning rate fluctuates due to the movement of the distribution member 64, so that the interest of the pachinko game is significantly improved.

Next, a specific game and operation of each part of the pachinko machine 1 provided with the winning device 11 having the above-described configuration will be described.

In the order of -CA, it is set to cycle in and out with a cycle of 4.5 seconds in which the descending state is 1.5 seconds and the ascending state is 3 seconds.
At this time, the stopper 88 of the ball storing means 86 is raised so that the ball cannot be stored.

The hit ball fired by the player is the game board 5 above the outlet 13.
When it flows into the first starting port 12a or the second starting port 12b formed through the base plate 108, the first starting port switch 109a facing the first starting port 12a (abbreviated as starting SW in FIG. 13). Or a second starting port switch 109b (abbreviated as a starting SW in FIG. 13) facing the second starting port 12b detects an inflowing ball, the CPU 92 turns on the starting port switch 109 in step 3 It is determined to be off, and if the starting port switch 109 is on, the process proceeds to step 4, and if it is off, the process waits at step 3.

In step 4, the CPU 92 uses the first starting opening switch 109.
a or 0.8 seconds after the second start opening switch 109b is turned on, a drive signal is sent to the opening / closing solenoid drive circuit 102 to excite the opening / closing solenoid 41 at a predetermined interval for a predetermined number of times to set the ball receiving member 27 to a predetermined position. It releases the time and clears the 10 count counter and the continuous count counter in the RAM.
In the case of the first starting port switch 109a, 0.4 seconds once, the second
In the case of the starting port switch 109b, the ball receiving member 27 is set to open twice for 0.75 seconds.

When the ball receiving member 27 is turned outward and the concave chamber 26 is in communication with the game section 8, the ball flowing down the game board 5 is taken into the upper concave chamber 26a by the ball receiving member 27, This ball rolls with the upper surface of the middle slope 55 toward the rear drop portion 56,
Although it enters the lower recessed chamber 26b from 56, since the ball slope 57 is provided in the middle slope 55, a ball that directly enters the lower recessed chamber 26b also appears from this ball drop mouth 57, which makes the game interesting. Increase. Then, the ball rolls on the inclined bottom plate 61 to enter the sorting member 64 which is a special winning opening, or the ball receiving opening which is a general winning opening.
Enter the ball at 83.

When the ball that has flowed into the recess chamber 26 is lucky to enter the sorting member 64 (for example, A) which is the special winning opening as described above, the continuous winning switch 81 (abbreviated as continuous SW in FIG. 13) is turned on. To do. At this time, the CPU 92 determines whether the continuous winning switch 81 is on or off in step 5, and if the continuous winning switch 81 is on, it shifts to a special game that is in a profitable state for the player. Element
27 is immediately raised, and in step 7, the starting port switch 109 of each starting port 12 is invalidated.

When the special game starts, the CPU 92 increments the continuous count counter by 1 in step 8. Further, in step 9, the cam driving motor 75 is rotated to raise the sorting member 64 (A) into which the sphere has entered, and at the same time, to the next sorting member 64.
(B) is lowered and stopped so that the player can enter the ball. Then CP
In step 10, the U92 energizes the drive solenoid 89 and lowers the stopper 88 so that the ball can be stored in the ball storage means 86. In the illustrated embodiment, a maximum of four balls are set to be stored.

Then, in step 11, the 10-count counter is cleared, and in step 12, the ball receiving member 27 is erected and the concave chamber is
After closing 26 for about 3 seconds, hold the ball receiving member 27 for about 28.5 seconds.
Opening / closing operation 18 times is started with one cycle as opening / closing.

Then, the CPU 92 determines in step 13 that the ball receiving member 27 has been opened and closed 15 times, or in step 14
When it is determined that the 10-count counter has reached "2", the drive solenoid 89 is demagnetized in step 15 to release the operation of the stopper 88. At this time, stopper 88
The ball released by the player is the special winning opening again at the moment.
In step 16, it is determined whether the continuous winning switch 81 is on or off depending on whether or not it has flown into 64 (B). Continuous prize switch 81
If is off, the process branches to step 23, and if it is on, the operating state of the stopper 88 is determined in step 17, and if it is operating, after the stopper 88 is released in step 18,
Proceed to next step 19. In this step 19, the count value of the continuous count counter is discriminated, and if it is "7" or less, the process returns to step 8. Therefore, 7 cycles of one special game
Repeat times. On the other hand, the count value, that is, the number of continuations is 8
If it is, the process proceeds to step 20 to invalidate the continuous winning switch 81, demagnetizes the driving solenoid 89 to release the stopper 88 in step 21, and the cam driving motor 75 in step 22.
Are rotated so that the sorting members 64 ... That is,
The special game cannot be updated, and the ball storage means 86 does not operate.

Then, in steps 23 and 24, the ending condition of the special game is determined. That is, in step 23, the concave chamber 26
The number of balls that have flowed into the ball is counted by the 10-count switch 110, and if the count value is "9" or less, the process proceeds to step 24 to determine the number of times the ball receiving member 27 has been opened and closed, and the count value is "10".
If so, the process proceeds to step 25 to end the 18-time opening / closing operation process. Then, in step 26, the starting port switch that was invalidated
109 is validated and it returns to step 3 which waits for a new ball to enter the starting opening 12.

On the other hand, if there is no ball into the special winning opening during opening of the ball receiving member 27 by the starting opening switch 109, that is, if the continuous winning switch 81 is off in step 5, step 27
After branching to, the completion of opening of the ball receiving member 27 is awaited, and in step 28, the special winning opening, that is, the valid timer of the continuous winning switch 81 is started. This effective time is, for example, about 3 seconds after the ball receiving member 27 is closed. Then, in step 29, it is determined whether or not there is another ball entering the starting port 12 within this effective time. If there is a ball and the starting port switch 109 is turned on, the process returns to step 4 and the starting port If the switch 109 is off, it is determined in the next step 30 whether the continuous winning switch 81 is on or off. If it is on, the process returns to step 6, and if it is off, the process proceeds to the next step 31. In step 31, it is determined whether or not the valid timer of the continuous winning switch 81 has ended. If it has not ended yet, the process loops with step 29, and if the valid time has ended, the process returns to step 3.

The CPU 92 also activates the electronic sound circuit 106 to activate each start port.
While generating a sound effect indicating that a ball has entered the ball 12 ..., the lamp drive circuit 105 is activated to turn on or blink the indicator lamp 111 including the lamp group L ... In addition to the visual display, it is also displayed auditorily. Also, when the ball wins the special winning opening provided in the recessed chamber 26, the lamp drive circuit 105 and the electronic sound circuit 106 are also provided at this time.
The display lamp 112 composed of a lamp group is turned on and blinked to make a visible display, and a sound effect different from the ball entering the starting opening 12 is generated to enhance the atmosphere of the game.

The present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments of the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be appropriately implemented unless the configuration described in the scope of claims for utility model is changed. For example, the winning device may be of a so-called attacker type. Further, the winning device of the present invention can be applied to a game in which when a ball wins the right mouth and is in the right state, if the player further wins the special prize hole, it becomes a profit state.

<Effects of the Invention> In short, the present invention is a winning device having a concave chamber provided with a special winning opening capable of creating a profit state in which a player can advantageously proceed with a game and a general winning opening for a normal winning. An inclined bottom plate is provided in the concave chamber, a plurality of through holes are formed in the inclined bottom plate, and each through hole is provided with a distribution member that can be retracted and driven by the drive of an electric drive source, and on the downstream side of the inclined bottom plate. Since a control means is provided which faces the ball receiving port and makes any one of the above through holes or the ball receiving port an effective special winning port, the special winning port sequentially changes and Since it is difficult to predict the flow-down path, and the winning rate of the special winning opening changes due to other sorting members, the interest in pachinko games is significantly improved. Furthermore, since the effective special winning opening can be changed each time the player enters the special winning opening, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming rut, always giving the player an expectation of receiving a profit, and making it difficult to predict the ball downflow route. In combination with sex, we offer pachinko games that are rich in entertainment that have never been seen before.
