Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a ball game machine represented by, for example, a pachinko game machine, and more specifically, a ball capable of hitting a ball in a game area to play a game. Regarding a ball game machine.

[Prior Art] FIG. 7 is a front view showing a configuration of a main part of a game board of a conventional pachinko gaming machine having a game content closely related to one embodiment of the present invention, which is described in Japanese Patent Application No. 60-294982. It has been done.

With reference to FIG. 7, a game operation of the conventional pachinko gaming machine will be described.

Some of the pachinko balls hit on the game board fall as shown by arrows A, B, C, D, E, and F. At this time, the pachinko balls that have fallen as indicated by arrows E and F win the specific winning opening 1. Pachinko balls that have won the specific winning opening 1 are sorted by the winning ball sorting device 2, and some of them are dropped into the right generation winning hole 3 and detected by the right generation winning ball detection switch 4. Based on the signal from the right generation winning a prize ball detection switch 4, the game state becomes a right generation state, and the variable winning a prize ball device 5 is set to an operable state.

In the right generation state, when a pachinko ball wins the starting winning opening 6a or 6b, a predetermined number, for example, 13 prize balls are paid out, and the winning pachinko ball is detected by the starting winning ball detection switch 7a or 7b. To be detected. Then, in response to this detection signal, the opening / closing plate 8 of the variable winning ball device 5 is opened for a predetermined period. Here, the predetermined period means that a pachinko ball is placed in the opening that appears when the opening / closing plate 8 is opened.
It is a period until the 10 prizes are won or the opening / closing plate 8 is opened for 10 seconds, whichever is earlier.

In the right generation state, the open / close plate 8 of the variable winning ball device 5 is repeatedly opened by the winning of the pachinko ball to the starting winning port 6a or 6b.

The disappearance of the right generation state occurs when the pachinko ball wins the specific winning opening 1, is distributed by the winning ball distribution device 2, and wins the right generating winning hole 3. That is, the right is extinguished by the same winning of the pachinko ball as when the right was generated. In this way, when a pachinko ball is won in the right-generating winning hole 3, a right is generated, and when the next pachinko ball is winning in the right-generating winning hole 3, the right is extinguished, and then a pachinko ball is won. As described above, the right is generated and the right is generated and disappears alternately according to the winning of the pachinko ball into the right generation winning hole 3.

In the state of extinguishing the rights, the starting winning holes 6a, 6b act as normal winning holes, and only a predetermined number, for example, 13 prize balls are paid out, and a pachinko ball wins the starting winning holes 6a or 6b. However, the opening / closing plate 8 of the variable winning ball device 5 is not necessarily opened.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, it is usually quite difficult to win a pachinko ball to the right generation winning hole 3, which is related to whether the game state becomes the right generation state or the generated right disappears. It is supposed to be. In the conventional example of FIG. 7 as well, in order to be in the right generation state, the pachinko balls win the specific winning opening 1, are distributed by the winning ball allocating device 2, and the pachinko balls winning the specific winning opening 1 About one-third of these pachinko balls are guided to the right generation winning hole 3. Therefore, it can be said that it is much more difficult to win a pachinko ball to a right-generating prize hole than to a normal prize hole.

On the other hand, in the right generation state, since the pachinko gaming state is a special state, it is preferable to open the opening / closing plate 8 of the variable winning ball apparatus 5 relatively easily so as to give a profit to the player. In other words, when the right is generated, the pachinko ball is relatively easy to start the winning hole 6a or 6b.
It is preferable that the player wins a prize. By doing so, the player can enjoy the real pleasure of the right generation state and can enjoy the game.

However, the starting winning holes 6a, 6b are not the winning holes in which the pachinko balls are won only in the right generation state, but are the winning holes in which the pachinko balls can be won even in the right extinction state, that is, in the normal gaming state. However, if it is too easy to win pachinko balls into these winning holes 6a, 6b, even if no rights have been generated, depending on the winning of the pachinko balls in the starting winning holes 6a, 6b, for example, 13 pachinko balls Was paid out as a prize ball, and the ball output rate improved too much,
This is a pachinko machine that is not suitable for pachinko halls and is not suitable for actual business situations. That is, a request is made to make it easier for the hitting balls to enter the starting winning area such as the starting winning holes 6a, 6b so that the variable winning ball device 5 can easily be in the first state during the right generation period, and to the starting winning area. Conventionally, there is a requirement to prevent the inconvenience that the value of prize balls etc. given to the prize of the ball hitting becomes too large and the management of the amusement hall is deteriorated, and that there is a conflicting request. There wasn't.

In addition, in the conventional game, since the probability of becoming the right generation state does not change uniformly, there is a drawback that the game is not interesting and has little change. Therefore, it is conceivable that the probability of becoming the right generation state is configured to be variable so as to make the game rich in variety and interesting.

The present invention has been conceived in view of the actual situation, and an object thereof is to improve the variability of a game by making it possible to change the probability that a right occurs, and at the same time, to manage the game hall without deteriorating. It is an object of the present invention to provide a ball game machine which can be adjusted so that a ball can be easily won in a starting winning area, and can maximize the merit of varying the probability of becoming the right generation state.

As a conventional similar technique, there are JP-A-56-45681, JP-A-56-80279, etc., and a ball game machine in which the number of payouts of prize balls is changed according to a winning hole is disclosed by the applicant of the present application. Already proposed by.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko game machine 10 according to an embodiment of a ball game machine of the present invention. This pachinko machine 10
Is equipped with a variable display / winning device 12, a right winning hole 14, and a specific winning hole 16, and when a pachinko ball wins the right winning hole 14 at a specific timing, a right is generated or generated. The right disappears.

The variable display / winning device 12, the right winning opening 14, and the specific winning hole 16 are arranged in the game area so that a different number of prize balls are paid out to the player depending on the winning location of the hit ball. A plurality of defined winning areas are configured. When the pachinko ball wins the specific winning hole 16 in the right generation state,
The opening / closing plate 18 of the variable display / prize winning device 12 is opened for a certain period of time, for example, until 10 pachinko balls are won or 10 seconds, whichever comes first. Variable display / winning device 12
Thus, a variable winning ball device is provided which is arranged in the game area and can be changed between a first state that is advantageous to the player and a second state that is disadvantageous to the player. The specific winning hole 16 constitutes a part of the plurality of winning regions, and the right generation condition detection means described later detects the establishment of the right generation condition described later until the right is generated until the generated right disappears. During the right generation period, a start winning area defined so that the variable winning ball device can be changed to the first state by winning a hit ball is formed. Further, the specific winning hole 16 detects the establishment of the right generation condition described later by the right generation condition detection means described later, and during the right generation period from the generation of the right until the extinguishment of the generated right, the ball is hit. The variable winning ball apparatus is configured so that the variable winning ball device can be changed to the first state.

The generation and extinguishment of rights occur under the following conditions. That is, the variable display of the variable display / winning device 12
The 20 is composed of three digital displays, and each of these displays independently displays the display of "1" to "9" and "0".
It is changing slowly. When a pachinko ball enters the right winning hole 14 during a pachinko game, if the display on the leftmost display of the variable display 20 happens to be "7", the right is generated.
Also, when a right is generated, a pachinko ball is won in the right winning hole 14 and the right is extinguished if the display at the left end of the variable display 20 at that time is "7".

In the right generation state, the specific winning hole 16 has a function of opening the opening / closing plate 18 in addition to a function as a normal winning hole.

In this embodiment, the variable display device 20 is initially displayed depending on whether the display on the leftmost display device displays "7" at the timing when the pachinko ball wins the right winning hole 14. However, once the right is generated, the variable display 20 is involved in the next generation of the right.
Of these, when the display is "3" or "7" on the central display, and a pachinko ball enters the right winning hole 14, the right is generated or disappears. Further, next, the display part of the variable display 20 involved in the right generation moves to the right end display part, and at the right end display part at the display timing of "3""5""7", the right winning hole. The right is generated or disappears when a pachinko ball is won in 14.

In other words, when the display timing of the leftmost display of the variable display 20 coincides with the winning timing of the pachinko ball in the right winning hole 14, and the right is generated, the next display participating in the right generation is the variable display. It becomes the indicator in the center of 20 and the indicator on the right side, and it is devised so that the right can be easily generated (or easily disappeared). Thus, once a player has a right,
As that right changes so that it is more likely to occur,
You can enjoy more fun.

A feature of this pachinko gaming machine 10 is that a ball return passage 24 for guiding a pachinko ball that has won a specific winning hole 16 to a ball receiving tray 22 is provided as shown by a chain line. Ball return passage
24 is provided on the back side of the game board of the pachinko gaming machine 10 and cannot be seen from the front side, so it is shown by a dashed line here.

The ball return passage 24 may lead the pachinko balls that have entered the specific winning hole 16 to the hitting ball supply tray 28 through the ball discharge port 26.

The point is that the pachinko balls that enter the specific winning hole 16 do not pay the same prize balls as when the pachinko balls enter the normal winning hole, and the pachinko balls that enter the specific winning hole 16 are used again by the player. It is one of the features of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment that it is configured to be returned to the. Although only one specific winning hole 16 is provided in this embodiment, if there are a plurality of specific winning holes, any one of them may be provided with the above configuration.

FIG. 2 is a rear view of the pachinko gaming machine 10 and depicts the structure of the mechanism plate through it.

With reference to FIG. 2, the pachinko balls that have entered the specific winning holes 16 are guided to the back side of the game board through the communication holes 30 and detected by the ball detection switch 32.

It should be noted that the pachinko balls that have won prize holes other than the specific prize hole 16 are collected by the prize ball collecting gutter 34 and are guided to the prize ball processing device 36 one by one. And winning ball processor 36
By this action, the prize ball payout device 38 is driven to pay out, for example, 13 prize balls per prize ball.

In FIG. 2, 40 is a right winning ball detection switch for detecting a pachinko ball that has entered the right winning hole 14 (see FIG. 1), and 42 is a variable display / opening / closing plate 18 of the winning device 12 (first (See the figure) is a solenoid for opening. By the variable display 20 and the prize winning ball detection switch 40, the right generating condition which is a precondition for setting the variable winning ball device to the first state and the probability of establishment of which can be changed according to the game state is satisfied. The right generation condition detecting means for detecting the above is configured.

FIG. 3 shows the characteristic components of the pachinko gaming machine 10,
That is, it is a vertical cross-sectional view for explaining the structure of a portion related to the ball return passage 24.

With reference to FIG. 3, the pachinko balls that enter the specific winning holes 16 are guided to the back side through the connecting holes 30 formed in the game board and detected by the ball detection switch 32. The output of the ball detection switch 32 is given to a control circuit (not shown) as a signal for opening the opening / closing plate 18. This control circuit constitutes drive control means for driving the variable winning ball apparatus to the first state when a detection output of the starting winning ball detecting means is generated during the right generation period. further,
This control circuit also serves as drive control means for driving the variable winning ball apparatus to the first state on condition that a hit ball has been won in the starting winning area during the right generation period. After being detected by the ball detection switch 32, the pachinko ball is received by the ball receiving member 44, drops along the ball return passage 24, is received by the ball receiving trough 46 of the mechanism plate, and falls through the drop path 4
8. Returned to the ball tray 22 through the ball guide shelf 50. The ball returning passage 24 constitutes a discharging mechanism for returning the hit balls that have won the starting winning area as a prize ball.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention described in detail above, the pachinko balls won in the specific winning holes 16 are guided by the winning ball gathering gutter 34 (see FIG. 2) like a conventional pachinko gaming machine. Instead of being given to the prize winning ball processor 36, it is guided through the ball returning passage 24 and returned to the ball receiving tray 22. Therefore, since the prize ball payout device 38 (see FIG. 2) is not driven and the payout rate does not increase due to the pachinko ball winning the specific winning hole 16, the specific winning hole 16
It is possible to increase the probability of winning a pachinko ball to. And, thereby, in the state where the right has not been generated, even if a pachinko ball wins the specific winning hole 16, the winning pachinko ball is simply bypassed in the ball return passage 24 and returned to the ball tray 22. On the other hand, in the right generation state, the specific winning hole
Since the pachinko balls easily win the prizes at 16, the opening / closing plate 18 can be efficiently opened / closed. Therefore, the player can enjoy the real pleasure of the game with a great game value given by the right generation state. That is, it is possible to provide an extremely interesting gaming machine.

In the above embodiment, the variable display of the variable display / winning device 12

FIG. 4 is a rear view of a pachinko gaming machine 60 according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 shows a ball guide path 69 for processing a pachinko ball guided to the back side of the game board through the communication hole 30 into the specific winning hole 16 as an out ball. Further, in FIG. 4, the arrangement position of the minority prize ball payout device 70 driven in response to the output of the ball detection switch 32, and the prize ball payout passage 72 paid out by the minority prize ball payout device 70 are shown. It is shown. Minority prize ball payout device 70
Thus, an electric discharging mechanism for discharging the prize balls according to the electric bias is configured. As shown in the figure, the minority prize ball payout device 70 is provided, for example, on the upper left side when the pachinko gaming machine 60 is viewed from the back side, and the prize ball paid out is
Like the pachinko balls paid out by the normal prize ball payout device 38, the ball is guided to the prize ball payout exit through the guide passage 72.

The prize balls paid out by the minority prize ball payout device 70 are
You may make it pay out to a ball saucer.

FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are views for explaining the configuration and operation principle of the minority prize ball payout device 70.

With reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B, a minority prize ball dispensing device
70 will be described. The minority prize ball payout device 70 has a ball drop path 76 through which each pachinko ball can drop.
A ball releasing lever 78 and a ball stopping lever 80 that are provided so as to project into and pull out of the ball dropping passage 76, and a connecting plate 82 that connects the ball releasing lever 78 and the ball stopping lever 80.
It comprises a solenoid 84 for driving the ball discharging lever 78 and the ball stopping lever 80.

In the state where the specific winning ball is not detected by the ball detection switch 32, as shown in FIG. 5A, the solenoid 84 is in the off state, and at this time, the tip of the ball release lever 78 projects into the ball drop passage 76. On the contrary, the tip of the ball stop lever 80 is pulled out from the ball drop passage 76, and the pachinko ball is locked by the ball release lever 78.

When the ball detection switch 32 detects a specific winning ball, the solenoid 84 is turned on based on the signal. In response, the tip of the ball releasing lever 78 is pulled out from the ball drop passage 76, and conversely, the tip of the ball stop lever 80 connected by the connecting plate 82 is inserted into the ball drop passage 76. That is, when the solenoid 84 is turned on and off, the connecting plate 82 swings around the support shaft 86,
The tip of either the ball discharge lever 78 or the ball stop lever 80 projects into the ball drop passage 76. Since the distance between the tip ends of the ball releasing lever 78 and the ball stopping lever 80 is set to be exactly one pachinko ball, one pachinko ball drops when the solenoid 84 is turned on once. , Will be paid out as a prize ball.

Therefore, based on the specific winning ball detection signal, the solenoid
By appropriately controlling the number of times 84 is turned on, it is possible to pay out any number of pachinko balls as prize balls.

In addition, the distance between the tip portions of the ball release lever 78 and the ball stop lever 80, that is, the distance between the tip portions of both of them that project into the ball drop passage 76, should be such that only two or three pachinko balls enter. For example, a plurality of pachinko balls can be paid out at one time by turning on the solenoid 84 once.

FIG. 6 is a rear view of a pachinko gaming machine 90 according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Pachinko gaming machine 90 of this embodiment
The feature is that a minority prize ball payout device centering on the return device 92 is provided in place of the minority prize ball payout device 70 shown in FIG. The minority prize ball payout device centering on the reducing device 92 constitutes a discharging mechanism for discharging the hit balls stored in the ball tank as a prize ball. In the pachinko gaming machine 90, like the pachinko gaming machine 60 shown in FIG. 4, the pachinko balls that enter the specific winning holes are processed as out balls. Further, an appropriate number of out balls and safe balls are stored in the ball storage part 94. The ball storage unit 94 constitutes a ball tank for storing the ball hit in the game area. When the pachinko balls in the ball storage unit 94 are full,
It flows out from the ball overflow mouth 96. The pachinko balls in the five storage section 94 are given to the reduction device 92. The reduction device 92 includes a ball ascending passage 102, and by rotation of the upper feed gear 100, the pachinko balls are sent to the upper part through the ascending passage 102. Therefore, if the motor 98 is rotated by a predetermined angle or for a predetermined time based on the detection signal of the specific winning ball, and the upper feed gear 100 is rotated by a predetermined angle or for a predetermined time, a desired number of pachinko balls are moved from the upstream end of the ascending path 102. It can be released and can be paid out as a prize ball.

The ball return passage 24 shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, or the minority prize ball payout device 70 shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, or the return shown in FIG. By the minority prize ball payout device centered on the device 92, it is possible to pay out a relatively large amount of prize balls and a relatively small amount of prize balls according to the winning spot of the hit balls hit in the game area. Means,
There is provided a prize ball payout means capable of paying out a relatively small amount of prize balls to the player in response to the winning of a ball hitting the starting prize area. The prize ball payout means is configured to, when paying out the relatively small amount of prize balls, return the prize balls themselves that have won the start winning area as prize balls. Further, the ball return passage 24 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 or the minority prize ball payout device 70 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5A and 5B, or FIG. By means of a minority prize ball payout device centering on the return device 92, means for giving relatively large valuable value and relatively small valuable value in accordance with the winning place of the hit ball hit in the game area. Further, a valuable value giving means capable of giving a relatively small valuable value to the player in accordance with the winning of a ball hitting the starting winning area is configured.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the probability of establishment of the right generation condition, which is a precondition for setting the variable winning ball device to the first state, can be changed according to the game state. To be
It is possible to improve the variability of the game, and it is possible to provide the game with an interesting effect. Moreover, for example, even if the right is generated in a state where the probability of the right occurrence condition fluctuates and the right occurrence condition is likely to be satisfied, the ball cannot easily win in the starting winning area, and the variable winning ball device is difficult to win. If the state is not 1, there is an inconvenience that the player is frustrated and uncomfortable, and the variable winning ball device does not enter the first state even if the right is generated, and the ball is hit. There is an inconvenience that you will not be able to receive much benefit from the fact that the conditions for generating rights are easily established because you spend it by consuming it.
In the case of the first aspect of the present invention, since a relatively small amount of prize balls are paid out with respect to the starting winning prize of the hitting ball, the gaming hall can frequently win the hitting ball into the starting winning area without suffering a large loss. As described above, the ball can be easily placed in the starting winning area during the right generation period, the above-mentioned inconvenience is prevented, and the probability of establishing the right generation condition can be changed to the maximum advantage. I can do it now. In addition, when the prize ball payout means pays out a relatively small amount of prize balls relative to the number of hits in the starting prize area, the prize balls themselves that have won in the starting prize area are returned as prize balls. Therefore, it is not necessary to operate the prize ball payout mechanism etc. each time a hitting ball is won in the starting winning area, which is adjusted so that it can be frequently won. Balls can be paid out.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the probability of establishment of the right generation condition, which is a prerequisite for setting the variable winning ball device to the first state, fluctuates depending on the game state, so that the variability of the game is improved. It is possible to provide an interesting game. Moreover, for example, even if the right is generated in a state where the probability of the right generation condition is fluctuated and the right generation condition is easily satisfied, the ball cannot easily win in the start winning area, and the variable winning ball device is difficult to win. If the state does not become 1, there is an inconvenience that the player is annoyed and uncomfortable, and the variable winning ball device does not become the first state even if the right is generated, and the ball is hit. Although there is an inconvenience in that the user can not receive much benefit from the fact that the right generation condition is easily satisfied because he / she hits and consumes it, according to the second aspect of the present invention, relative to the start winning of the hit ball. Since a small amount of valuable value is added, it is possible to adjust so that the amusement hall side can frequently win a ball at the start winning area without suffering a large loss, and during the period when the right is generated. Hitting balls to allow winning easily start winning regions, the inconvenient mentioned above, the benefits due to the permits varying the establishment probability rights generation condition can now maximize.
