Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention allows a winning ball detection device to detect a winning hit ball as a start signal for starting operation of an electric game device provided in a game section. The present invention relates to a start winning device for a pachinko machine generated based on the above, and particularly to a starting winning device having a composite display function.

[Conventional technology]

In recent pachinko game machines, in order to change the game contents and enhance the interest of the game, a number of electric prize winning devices called so-called accessory have been developed.

For example, when it is activated by winning a specific winning opening provided in the game section and the occurrence rate is relatively low, the variable winning device is greatly opened when it matches a specific display mode called a big hit, and the winning rate rapidly increases. There is a pachinko gaming machine provided with an auxiliary gaming device for forming a special gaming state that becomes a state (so-called fever type).

Also, it has a special prize area and a general prize area inside,
Normally, a pair of movable pieces are not in communication with the game section, but the movable piece is opened and closed once or twice by the winning of a game ball to a specific winning opening provided in the game section. If the game ball that is in communication with the player and the game ball jumps at this time wins the special winning area of the two kinds of winning areas inside, the movable piece is continuously opened and closed a predetermined number of times (for example, 18 times), and the winning rate There is also a pachinko gaming machine provided with an auxiliary gaming device configured to generate a special gaming state in which is greatly increased (so-called zero battle type).

Furthermore, by generating a special game right by winning a special winning opening with a very low winning probability (first condition), and winning a special winning opening during the occurrence of this right (second condition) Also, a pachinko game device in which a variable winning device is opened and a special game mode in which a winning rate is greatly increased is proposed (so-called battle type).

In these recent fever type, zero battle type, and battle type pachinko game machines, a relatively large variable winning device is arranged in the game section, so that the flow-down area of the hitting ball in the game section is becoming narrower and various types. Since various lighting devices were installed, it was a dull game content with little jumping of the hit ball, or it was a board structure that was hard to see the exciting special game state that was the most interesting for the competition. .

In addition, in a pachinko machine equipped with the above-mentioned auxiliary game device as an electric game device and a variable winning device, by the time a special game state occurs in which the player can obtain a large number of prize balls in a short time, Since the game state changes in stages, the player is informed of each game state each time, and a game strategy or the like can be established.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, the display part of the conventional pachinko machine is provided individually on one side of the game board or on the left and right sides of the game part, or is provided singly on the electric game device itself such as the auxiliary game device or the variable winning device. Therefore, in order to recognize the game state, the player has to move his or her line of sight each time during the game, and there is a feeling of dissatisfaction that he cannot be absorbed in the game.

Furthermore, in the starting winning device that generates the starting signal for starting the operation of the electric gaming device, the player's line of sight is most facing during the game because it is first determined whether or not the hit ball wins there. Despite this, only a single winning portion has been formed, and effective use such as forming display means has not been achieved.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and pays attention to the starting winning apparatus in which the player's line of sight is most facing during the game, and the single winning section has the first state display section and the second state display section. It is an object of the present invention to integrally configure, to minimize the movement of the player's line of sight during a game, to improve the notification efficiency, and to effectively utilize the board configuration.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, in the present invention, a start signal for starting the operation of an electric gaming device (for example, a large-scale variable winning device 5, an auxiliary gaming device, or the like) provided in the gaming section (1) is used as a winning ball detecting device (18). ) Is a start winning device for a pachinko machine (ball hitting device 10) that is generated based on the detection of a winning ball, and is a single pocket-shaped device provided on the front side of the base body (17). It is provided in a winning portion (for example, 18A) and a predetermined portion on the front surface side of the base body, and displays the first state of the game based on winning of a hit ball into the winning portion (for example, winning of a hit ball in the starting winning device). A first state display section (for example, 14) and a second state display section (for example, 15) that displays a second state of the game (for example, occurrence of a special game state) related to the operation of the electric gaming device, And the first status display section has a plurality of points. Point-like light emitting means comprising a series of optical member (e.g. LED14B, opening 14E
Etc.) and the second state display section is composed of a planar light emitting means (for example, a transparent cover 15A, a diamond cut surface 15B, a miniature lamp 15C, etc.) composed of a planar light emitting body having a relatively large light emitting surface. .

[Action]

The first state of the game is informed by a plurality of point-shaped light-emitting bodies constituting the first state display section being displayed in a predetermined mode so that the second state of the game is a surface constituting the second state display section. The light-emitting element is illuminated and displayed.

By first determining whether or not a hit ball wins, the player's line of sight is most oriented during the game.By providing a composite display function with different light emission modes in the starting winning part, the game state changes for the player.

The starting winning device having the above-described structure operates as follows, as described above.

In a normal gaming state, the LEDs arranged so as to surround the periphery of the function display portion 13 of the starting winning device of the present invention are sequentially blinking from the left and right sides. As a result, the player's attention can be gathered in the winning device, and the recognition of the function of the winning device can be enhanced.

In the present embodiment, the number of prize balls is one (any number smaller than the normal number of product balls is sufficient) only when the start winning device 10 is won.

To explain using the game section 1 showing the state where the starting winning device 10 having the above-mentioned structure is attached to the game board (see FIG. 1), the starting winning device is in the normal gaming state.
When the player wins either 10 or the specific winning opening 7a, 7b, the movable member 3 of the large-sized variable winning device 5 is opened only once.
At this time, in the case where the starting prize winning device 10 itself wins, the first state display section 14 blinks all at once in a relatively short period from the display state in which a plurality of LEDs are blinking from the left and right sides. It is converted to a lighting state. In such a state, when the game ball jumping between the movable members 3 wins the special winning area 4 out of the two kinds of winning areas (general winning area and special winning area), a special game mode that the player longs for is generated. . The movable member 3 continuously repeats the opening / closing operation a predetermined number of times (for example, 18 times). This is set as one cycle, and is continued up to eight cycles on condition that another prize is won in the special winning area 4. However, in each cycle, the special game state is controlled to disappear when the winning number reaches, for example, 10. In the game state as described above, the second state display unit 15 is changed from the turned-off state to the blinking state or blinking state for a certain period of time.

As described above, when the right to the special game is generated and the special game state is entered, the first as the special game state display unit is displayed.
The status display unit 14 and the second status display unit 15 are entirely blinked and turned on all at once.

In the embodiments described above, the number of LEDs is not limited to 10, and it is possible to use a larger number.

Further, the manner of lighting operation such as lighting for a certain period of time and blinking lighting performed by the first and second status display sections described in the above embodiment is not limited to that of the above embodiment, and various lighting operation modes are possible. It is possible. Further, the lighting operation modes of the first and second status display portions may be different from each other, and the first and second status display portions may be simultaneously operated in parallel.

[Effect of device]

As described above in detail, according to the starting winning device according to the present invention, the first state display portion for displaying the first state of the game and the second state of the game are displayed on the single winning portion formed like a pocket. A second state display section for displaying is provided, the first state display section is constituted by a point-shaped light emitting means composed of a plurality of point-shaped light emitting bodies, and the second state display section has a relatively large light emitting surface. Since the start-up prize device, in which the player's line of sight is most facing during the game, is a composite display with different light emission forms, since it is configured by the planar light emitting means composed of a light emitting element, it is possible to first determine whether or not the hit ball will win. It becomes a starting winning device with a function, and the player does not shift his or her line of sight, and moreover, the first state and the second state can be easily visually recognized, and the game can be further absorbed.

Further, since the first state display portion and the second state display portion are integrally configured in a single winning portion, a large-sized electric game device in recent years is mounted in the board layout space of each state display portion. It is possible to effectively utilize the pachinko machine's board structure.
