Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention has a special winning opening and a general winning opening in the internal winning area, and does not accept a sphere into the winning area due to the conversion operation of the movable member. The present invention relates to a variable winning device of a pachinko machine that causes a first state and a second state in which a ball is received in a winning area.

<Prior Art> The internal winning area has a special winning opening and a general winning opening, and can be converted into a first state in which the ball is not accepted in the internal winning area and a second state in which the ball can be accepted in the winning area. Various variable winning devices have been proposed in the past, and as an example, a movable member provided on each of the left and right sides is rotated in the left-right direction to pass a ball from the game section of the game board to the prize area. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a variable winning device of a type that opens and closes a ball passing empty part that can be opened.

The variable winning device as described above may be used in a so-called second-class pachinko machine because the game ball received in the internal winning area is won in either the special winning opening or the general winning opening. The game content in the second type of pachinko machine is that the variable winning device is converted to the second state for a relatively short time by the achievement of the predetermined condition, and at that time, the game ball received in the winning area inside the variable winning device. When a prize is won in the special winning opening, the special winning game in which the variable winning device is repeatedly converted into the second state is started under a predetermined condition, and the player can receive a relatively large amount of game profit. .

In the special game, a predetermined condition (for example, the number of times the second state conversion of the variable winning device reaches a predetermined number, or the number of winning balls into the general winning opening reaches a predetermined number, whichever comes first. If the game ball wins the special winning opening before the end condition of this cycle is achieved, the special game is continued by starting a new cycle from that point. Therefore, the cycle update can be continued up to a preset number of times.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in the conventional variable winning apparatus as described above, after the game ball is received by the movable member which intermittently repeats the opening / closing operation, it is plucked into the winning area. Since the balls that have jumped into the winning area quickly flow down, it may not be possible to clearly recognize the flowing state of the balls in the winning area. That is, in such a special winning device, since the game condition changes depending on whether the ball received in the winning area wins the special winning opening or the general winning opening, the ball flows down in the winning area. Although the state is of great interest to the player, it is not possible for the player to clearly recognize the flow-down state. Therefore, it is said that the conventional variable prize device does not necessarily enhance the interest of the game. I couldn't say.

In particular, for a player who is unfamiliar with pachinko games, it is difficult to clearly see the flow down state of the ball in the winning area because the amount of the game is immature, and it is difficult to obtain the original interest of the special game.

In addition, since the flow-down state of the ball in the winning area cannot be clearly recognized, when the player causes an illusion that the game ball has won the special winning opening, the game progress state on the game machine is Because it is different from what I expected,
Trouble may occur between the player and the game store.

Therefore, the present invention is capable of sufficiently increasing the interest in the game, and is capable of preventing the troubles between the player and the game store caused by the winning state of the balls in the variable winning device, which is the fluctuation of the pachinko machine. The purpose is to provide a winning device.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a recessed chamber (20) communicating with an opening of a mounting board (8) mounted on a game section (4) of a game board (2). ) Is provided to form a winning area, and a special winning opening (13) and a general winning opening (14, 1) are provided in a lower portion of the recessed chamber.
4) and a pachinko machine (1) that causes a first state in which the ball is not received in the winning area and a second state in which the ball is received in the winning area by the operation of the pair of movable members (9, 9).
In the variable winning device (5), the shelf area (11) is arranged in the concave chamber to divide the winning area into upper and lower parts, and the upper winning area (for example, the upper area) formed above the shelf board. The recessed chamber 20a) and the lower prize area (lower recessed chamber 20b) formed below the shelf plate and facing the special winning opening and the general winning opening are communicated with each other in a state where the game balls can flow down, and the pair is formed. The movable members are each provided with a movable piece (for example, a second movable piece 9b) located on the front side of the mounting board and movable in the left-right direction, and pass the ball above the upper winning area from the game portion of the game board. The movable state of the movable member of each movable member is shielded by the movable piece of each movable member, and the movable state of the movable member of each movable member is moved in the left-right direction to release the spherical passage area.
In the second state where the movable pieces of the pair of movable members have moved in the left-right direction, the states are caused respectively, and the game balls received from the ball passing empty part to the upper winning area are directly received by the shelf board. I chose

<Operation> When each movable piece of the pair of left and right movable members moves in the left-right direction and is converted into the second state in which the ball passing empty portion is released, the game ball flowing down through the game portion passes through the ball passing empty portion and moves upward. It is accepted from above into the winning area and drops onto the shelf. Then, the game balls received in the upper winning area flow down on the shelf board to reach the lower winning area, and win the special winning opening or the general winning opening.

<Embodiment> An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

On the surface of the game board 2 of the pachinko machine 1 shown in FIG. 1, a game section 4 surrounded by a guide rail 3 is formed, and innumerable obstacle nails are planted in the game section 4, as well as a windmill and prize winning equipment. And the variable winning device 5 is disposed substantially in the center of the game section 4, a first specific winning opening 6 is provided below the variable winning device 5, and a second specific winning opening 6 is provided to the left and right of the first specific winning opening 6. Specific winning holes 7,7 are lined up.

The variable winning device 5 has an opening at an approximately central portion of a mounting board 8 mounted on the surface of the game board 2, and first movable pieces 9a, 9a are provided on the left and right above the opening edge of the opening as support shafts 10, 10. Is rotatably supported by the second movable piece 9a at the upper end of the first movable piece 9a.
b and 9b are provided so as to be movable in the left and right directions, and both first movable pieces 9a and 9a
Between the base ends of the shafts of the shelves 11 with the inside of the opening penetrated.
Is provided, the blocking walls 12, 12 are formed in the longitudinal direction at the opening edge of the opening located below the shaft-attaching base end of the first movable piece 9a, and a sphere is formed between the lower ends of both blocking walls 12, 12. A ball receiving frame 15 having a special winning opening 13, which is a special winning when entering, and a general winning opening 14, 14 which is a general winning when a ball enters, is projected from the center.

The second movable piece 9b forming a part of the movable member 9 is an arcuate member whose upper surface is slightly curved, and an arcuate member in which a guide rod 16 protruding rearward from the rear surface is opened on the mounting substrate 8. The guide holes 17 and the like are configured such that the inner ends facing each other are slightly higher than the outer ends when the left and right second movable pieces 9b are close to each other. I am doing it.
Further, at one of the left and right second movable pieces 9b, 9b (in the embodiment shown in the drawings, the left side second movable piece 9b) is provided with a raised portion 18 as a retention preventing means at the inner end portion thereof over the entire width of the second movable piece 9b. In the first state in which it is formed over (the width in the front-back direction toward the front of the pachinko machine 1) and is close to the inner end of the other second movable piece 9b,
As shown in the figure, a step d is formed so as to project upward from the upper surfaces of the left and right second movable pieces 9b, 9b by the ridge portion 18 only.

Further, a concave chamber frame 19 composed of a surrounding frame 19a and a back member 19b is provided on the back side of the above-mentioned mounting substrate 8 to form a concave chamber 20 which is a winning area communicating with the opening, and on the back side of the concave chamber frame 19. First solenoids 21, 21 are provided as an electric drive source for driving the movable members 9, 9 described above.

The support shaft 10 having the lower end of the first movable piece 9a fixed at its tip is inserted into the through hole of the mounting substrate 8 in the middle of its length, and is also inserted into the bearing 22 projecting rearward from the recessed chamber frame 19. An eccentric drive member 23 is fixed to the rear end that is inserted and protrudes from the bearing 22. The eccentric drive member 23 has a pin 24 at a portion eccentric from a central portion where the support shaft 10 is fixed, and the other end of a connecting piece 25 whose one end is axially attached to the pin 24 is attached to the plunger of the first solenoid 21. I wear it. Further, one end of the return spring 26 is connected to a position eccentric from the central portion of the eccentric drive member 23. In addition, the first solenoid 21 efficiently transmits the attraction force of the plunger to rotate the eccentric drive member 23 so that the base plate is
It is mounted diagonally on 27.

Therefore, when the first solenoid 21 is demagnetized, as shown in FIG. 2, the first movable pieces 9a, 9a on the left and right sides are stopped by the biasing of the return spring 26 in a substantially C-shape, and the second movable pieces on the left and right sides are formed. The inner ends of the movable pieces 9b, 9b come close to each other to be in the first state in which the sphere is not received. The left and right second movable pieces 9b, 9b are
Since each guide rod 16 is in contact with the inner end of the guide hole 17 to restrict the stop position, the inner end stops at a position sufficiently close to each other.

Further, in the first state in which the inner ends of the left and right second movable pieces 9b, 9b come close to each other and stop, as shown in FIG. 2, the protrusion formed on the inner end of the left second movable piece 9b. Since the step d is formed by the projecting portion 18, even if the ball flows down on the inner end portions of the second movable pieces 9b, 9b which face each other, the ball is raised.
By the step d formed by the existence of the above, it is possible to favorably prevent it from flowing down to the right or left and resting between the inner ends of the left and right second movable pieces 9b, 9b.

As described above, by providing the stop prevention means, the second movable piece 9b is separated from the left and right due to the weight of the ball retained between the ends of the left and right second movable pieces 9b, 9b or the downward force, and thus the second movable piece 9b is unjustified. It is possible to prevent a situation where a ball is won in. Therefore, the first and second movable pieces 9a, 9b are
There is an advantage that it is not necessary to separately provide a lock means or the like for holding the state, and the design and manufacturing process of the variable winning device 5 can be simplified.

It should be noted that the staying prevention means is not limited to the raised portion 18 as long as it can cause an unstable state in which the ball cannot stay between the inner ends of the left and right second movable pieces 9b, 9b. A protrusion having a triangular cross section may be formed. Further, the stay prevention means is not limited to the case where it is formed only on the inner end portion of one of the second movable pieces 9b, and both the second movable pieces 9b, 9b.
You may make it provide a stop prevention means. For example, when the inner ends of the left and right second movable pieces 9b, 9b come close to each other,
The non-retaining portions formed on the movable pieces 9b, 9b occlude each other,
It may be configured to have a single protrusion shape.

On the other hand, when the first solenoids 21, 21 are excited, the plunger moves to rotate the eccentric drive member 23 via the connecting pieces 25 against the bias of the return spring 26. Therefore, each support shaft 10 rotates to rotate the left and right first movable pieces 9a in the direction in which the upper ends fall outward, whereby the second movable pieces 9b connected to the upper ends of the first movable pieces 9a are moved. As shown in FIG. 3, the left and right second movable pieces 9b, 9 are moved outwardly along the guide holes 17, respectively.
The inner end portions of b are separated from each other, and the ball passing space 28 that allows the ball to flow above the concave chamber 20 which is the winning area in the variable winning device 5 is released. To be done.

Here, the left and right second movable pieces 9b, 9b are provided with the respective guide rods 16.
Since the stop position is regulated by abutting against the outer end of the guide hole 17, the inner end stops at a position sufficiently separated. The second movable piece 9b is a guide hole.
In the range of moving left and right along 17
The range is in contact with the inner and outer ends of 17, and this range is set within the stroke in which the punja of the first solenoid 21 moves.

As described above, when the left and right second movable pieces 9b, 9b move in opposite directions, the ball flowing down the game section 4 passes above the concave chamber 20 as the winning area in the variable winning device 5. The sphere passage empty portion 28 that can be made to be released is converted into a state in which the sphere can be received in the winning area in the variable winning device 5.

When the first solenoids 21, 21 are demagnetized, each eccentric drive member 23 is returned and rotated by the urging of the return spring 26. Therefore, the left and right first movable pieces 9a, 9a are returned and rotated so that the left and right second movable members are moved. The pieces 9b, 9b move inward, respectively, and return to the first state in which they do not accept the ball.

Further, in the recessed chamber 20, the inclined upper end portion of the shelf plate 11 is located between the shaft-attaching base ends of the left and right first movable pieces 9a, 9a, and the rear portion is extended into the recessed chamber 20 and the upper winning area is formed. As upper chamber 20
The shelf plate is divided into a and a lower concave chamber 20b as a lower prize area.
A sphere is formed between the inclined lower end edge of 11 and the front wall of the concave chamber 20 so that the sphere can move from the upper concave chamber 20a to the lower concave chamber 2a.
On the left and right of the upper surface of the shelf plate 11 forming the bottom of the upper concave chamber 20a, which forms a drop path 29 that falls to 0b, is a shallow groove-shaped sphere storage portion 30 that is slightly inclined downward toward the rear edge of the shelf plate 11. , 30 are formed over a length of about 3 times the diameter of the sphere, and the portion located between both sphere storage portions 30, 30 is a free-falling region, and the sphere is approximately at the center of the lower slope of the free-falling region. A projecting drop direction changing portion 31 that influences the falling direction is provided so as to project rearward, and a ball retaining mechanism 32 is provided above the inclined lower end portion of the ball storage portion 30 (that is, the outlet of the ball storage portion 30). Human-shaped guide members 33, 33 also serving as decorative members are provided on the left and right sides of the lower recessed chamber 20b.

In addition, in the drop path 29 formed between the inclined lower edge of the shelf plate 11 and the front surface of the recessed chamber, the sphere that has flowed down in the free flow-down area at the center of the shelf plate 11 flows down onto the bottom surface of the lower recessed chamber 20b. The spheres stored in the sphere flow passage and the sphere storage portion 30 also serve as a sphere flow passage that flows down onto the bottom surface 34 of the lower recessed chamber 20b, and the spheres that have flowed down in the free flow area are also in the sphere storage portion 30. Both spheres also have a function of dropping onto the bottom surface 34 of the lower concave chamber 20b.

As described above, the variable winning device 5 according to the present invention is a shelf board.
Upper concave chamber 20 which is the upper winning area divided into upper and lower parts by 11
The pair of movable members 9 and 9 each have a second movable piece 9b, which is a movable piece that is located on the front surface side of the mounting substrate 8 and is movable in the left-right direction. Since it is provided, the sphere passage empty portion 28 that allows the sphere to pass from the game portion 4 of the game board 2 to above the upper concave chamber 20a is shielded by the second movable pieces 9b and 9b of the movable members 9 and 9. Thus, the first state can be brought about by moving the movable pieces 9b, 9b of the movable members 9, 9 in the left-right direction.

Then, in the second state of the variable winning device 5, the ball passing empty part
Since the game ball received from 28 is to be directly received by the shelf board 11, the game ball once received by the shelf board 11 flows down on the shelf board 11 and reaches the lower concave chamber 20b as a lower winning area, It is possible to win the prize at either the special winning opening 13 or the general winning openings 14, 14.

Therefore, the process in which the game balls that have naturally flown down in the game section 4 of the game board 2 drop from the ball passing empty portion 28 onto the shelf board 11 and the game balls flow down on the shelf board 11 and reach the lower recessed chamber 20b. Since it is possible for the player to visually recognize the process over a relatively long period of time, the player's expectations can be enhanced by clearly recognizing the flow down state of the game ball in the recessed chamber 20, which is of great concern to the player. Can be effectively enhanced, and even a player unfamiliar with pachinko games can relatively easily recognize the flow state of the game ball in the recessed chamber 20, so that the interest in the game can be sufficiently enhanced. It will be possible.

In addition, even a player who is relatively unskilled in pachinko games can easily recognize the flow down state of the balls in the upper concave chamber 20a and the lower concave chamber 20b, so that the game ball has a special winning opening 13
Since it is unlikely that the player has the illusion that the player has won the prize, it is possible to prevent the trouble between the player and the game store due to the winning state of the hit ball in the variable winning device 5.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the balls are temporarily stopped in the upper concave chamber 20a as the first winning area, and these stopped balls are released at a time, so that the state of the downward flow of the balls in the concave chamber 20 can be visually confirmed. The ball retention mechanism 32 is provided in order to further improve the game performance and increase the probability of winning the special winning opening 13.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the ball retaining mechanism 32 is configured such that a retaining member 37, which stops the ball receiving portions 36, 36 in a constantly raised state by the bias of the weight 35, is rotatable by a shaft 38. Shafted,
A second solenoid 39 is provided as an electric drive source behind the retaining member 37, and the second solenoid 39 is provided as shown in FIG.
The tip end of the operating lever 40 connected to the plunger is made to face the inclined receiving portion 41 of the retaining member 37. Therefore, the second
When the solenoid 39 is demagnetized, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 11, the retaining member 37 is urged by the weight 35 so that the ball receiving portions 36, 3
6 is lifted and stopped in the first state in which the inclined lower end of the ball storage portion 30 is opened.

When the second solenoid 39 is excited, the operating lever 40
Presses the inclined receiving portion 41, whereby the retaining member 37 raises the weight 35 around the shaft 38 and the ball receiving portion.
Rotate 36, 36 in the descending direction, and the ball receiving parts 36, 36 become the ball storing part.
Converts to a second state that blocks the outlets of 30,30. Therefore,
When the retaining member 37 is converted into the second state, the earliest of the spheres that have entered the sphere storage portions 30, 30 will be retained in a state where the sphere receiving portions 36, 36 prevent the sphere from flowing down.

Up to 3 spheres can be stored in each sphere storage unit 30.
When the third ball hits the third ball, the inclination of the upper surface of the shelf board 11 changes the downflow direction toward the free downflow area of the shelf board 11, and then rolls in the free downflow area from the lower edge of the tilt. It falls through the drop path 29 into the lower concave chamber 20b.

Further, when the second solenoid 39 is demagnetized while the balls are stored in the ball storage portion 30, the actuating lever 40 is retracted, so that the retaining member 37 is returned and rotated by the urging of the weight 35 and the downward pressure of the ball. The ball receiving parts 36, 36 rise. Therefore, each ball storage unit 3
The sphere inside 0 flows out from the outlet, and like the sphere rolling in the free-falling area, passes through the falling path 29 from the lower inclined end of the shelf board 11 to form the lower concave chamber.
It falls on the bottom surface 34 of 20b. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the balls rolling in the free-falling region of the shelf 11 are also stored in the ball storage portion 30.
The spheres temporarily stored inside will similarly drop on the bottom surface 34 of the lower recessed chamber 20b.

The human-shaped guiding members 33 arranged on the left and right in the lower concave chamber 20b are
It is driven by a third solenoid 42 as an electric drive source mounted on the back side of the recessed chamber frame 19. The guide member 33 is supported at the tip of a shaft 43, and the shaft 43 penetrates through a cylindrical bearing 44 provided on the back surface of the concave chamber frame 19 and is cranked at a rear end portion protruding from the bearing 44. The member 45 is fixed. And the third
Fix the drive transmission member 46 to the plunger of the solenoid 42,
The pin of the crank member 45 is placed in a horizontally elongated hole 47 formed in the upper portion of the arm piece extending in a U shape from the base end of the drive transmission member 46.
Play fit 48.

When the third solenoid 42 is demagnetized, the guide member 33 is in the first state in which the hammer 49 is stopped in the raised state by the biasing of the return spring connected to the crank member 45 or the drive transmission member 46. In this first state, the distance between the hammer 49 of the guide member 33 and the bottom surface 34 of the recessed chamber 20 is larger than the diameter of the sphere, so that the ball dropped from the shelf plate 11 to the inclined upper end portion of the bottom surface 34 of the recessed chamber is: Both the ball falling from the free flowing area and the ball falling from the ball storage section 30 flow down on the bottom surface 34 without being affected by the guide member 33, and win the special winning opening 13 or the general winning opening 14.

On the other hand, when the third solenoid 42 is excited, the drive transmission member 46
Lowers to rotate the crank member 45, which causes the shaft 43 to rotate and the guide member 33 to rotate in the direction in which the hammer 49 descends. When the hammer 49 of the guide member 33 descends and is converted into the second state in which the distance from the bottom surface 34 is smaller than the diameter of the sphere, the distance between the left and right hammers 49, 49 becomes a ball passage, and the hammers 49, 49 are separated.
Functions as a downflow direction control unit.

The ball passage is set to be slightly wider than the ball diameter. By doing so, the sphere that has fallen from the shelf 11 to the inclined upper end portion of the bottom surface 34 of the recessed chamber 20 falls by the sphere that has fallen from the free flow area, the sphere that has fallen from the sphere storage section 30, and the fall direction changing section 31. The hammers 49 and 49 regulate the downflow direction, including the ball that has been given a change in direction.
It will flow down through the ball passage formed by 9,49.

The ball passage formed by the hammers 49, 49 has a special winning opening 13
Since it is located on the upstream side of, the ball that has passed through this ball passage flows down as it is due to the downward inclination of the bottom surface 34, and the special winning opening 13
The probability of entering is high. When the third solenoid 42 is demagnetized, the guide member 33 is urged by the return spring to hammer the guide member 33.
It returns to the 1st state where 49, 49 rises and stops.

In the variable winning device 5 configured as described above, the ball passing empty portion 28 is formed in the upper part, and the left and right first and second left and right members functioning as a pair of left and right movable members so as to close the ball passing empty portion 28. Since the movable pieces 9a and 9b are provided so as to reciprocate, the second movable piece 2
A second state in which the inner ends of a are close to each other to close the ball passing space 28 and the inner ends of the left and right second movable pieces 9b and 9b are separated from each other to open the ball passing space 28. Since the movable member 9 (particularly the second movable piece 9b) moves in the left-right direction when the conversion operation is performed, it is possible for the player to clearly recognize this conversion operation. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a sufficient visual effect enough to enhance the interest in the game.

Moreover, since a pair of left and right movable members 9 and 9 are provided for one ball passing empty portion 28, one movable member is famously innocent and is provided only for decoration as in the conventional variable winning apparatus. In this way, both movable members 9, 9 can perform a substantially effective conversion operation.

In addition, in the embodiment of the movable member 9 described above, the second movable piece 9b is connected to the upper end of the first movable piece 9a, but the first state in which the sphere is not received in the concave chamber 20 and the second state in which the sphere can be received. As long as it can be converted so as to give rise to and, it is not necessary to configure the two members as in the above embodiment. For example, the movable members 9'and 9'shown in FIG. 12 are inverted L-shaped members in which the upper half is bent inward to form an operating piece capable of closing the ball passage empty portion 28, and the lower end is supported. It is rotatably supported by shafts 10 and 10. Then, a protruding portion 18 'serving as a retention preventing means is formed at the upper end of one movable member 9', and the upper ends of the left and right movable members 9 ', 9'are close to each other in the first state where they do not receive a sphere. A step d is formed at a portion where the movable members 9 ', 9'face each other.

Also in the embodiment configured in this way, similarly to the above embodiment,
By rotating the movable members 9 ', 9'to move the actuating piece in the left-right direction, the second portion in which the ball passage empty portion is released
The state in which the game balls that can be brought into play and naturally flowed down in the game section 4 of the game board 2 are dropped from the ball passing empty portion 28 onto the shelf board 11 and the game balls flow down on the shelf board 11. Lower concave chamber 20
It is possible for the player to visually recognize the process of reaching b, taking a relatively long time.

Further, the sphere that has flowed down on the closely facing portions of the left and right movable members 9 ', 9'in the first state is provided with the protruding portion 18' which functions as a staying prevention means, so that both movable members 9 ', 9'are present.
The stagnation between the inner end portions of the is regulated, the downflow direction is changed to the left or right, and further downflow is performed.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the variable winning device for the pachinko machine according to the present invention includes the movable member having the movable piece that moves in the left-right direction, and the movable piece passes the ball above the upper winning area. It is assumed that the first state is caused by blocking the sphere passing sky portion, and the second state is caused by moving the movable piece to the left and right to release the sphere passing sky portion. In the second state, the sphere passing sky portion is caused. The game ball received from the section is received as it is in the upper winning area in the state of natural fall and it is directly received by the shelf board, so the game ball once received on the shelf board flows down on the shelf board and wins the lower prize. It is possible to reach the area and win the special winning opening or the general winning opening.

Therefore, it takes a relatively long time for the process of the game balls that have naturally flown down in the game part of the game board to drop from the ball passing empty part onto the shelf plate and the process for the game balls to flow down the shelf plate and reach the lower prize area. Since it can be made visible to the player by applying
The player's expectations can be effectively increased by clearly recognizing the flowing state of the game balls within the winning area, which is of great interest to the player, and even if the player is unfamiliar with pachinko games, winning Since it becomes relatively easy to recognize the flow-down state of the game balls in the area, it is possible to sufficiently enhance the interest in the game.

In addition, even a player who is relatively unskilled in pachinko games can easily recognize the flow-down state of the ball in the winning area compared to the conventional variable winning apparatus, so that the game ball has a special winning opening. Since it is unlikely that the player will have the illusion that he or she has won, it is possible to prevent troubles between the player and the game store due to the winning state of the hit ball in the variable winning device.
