The maximum winning means 19 can be opened up to 16 times.

The counting detection switch 38 is for counting the number of game balls won in the big winning means 19, and when the counting detection switch 38 detects 10 game balls,
The opening operation of the big winning means 19 is stopped.
The special winning means 19 is configured to stop the opening operation even when a certain period of time has passed. The opening
Two prize holes 72 and 73 are provided on each side of the 29.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine will be described. In the game, when the operation handle 10 of the firing means 9 is operated, the game balls are supplied one by one to the firing position of the firing rail in conjunction with the firing operation of the firing means 9, and the game balls are sequentially moved along the guide rail 11. It is fired at the upper side of the game board 5. Then, the game ball shot on the upper side of the game board 5 falls downward along the board surface of the game board 5 while colliding with an obstacle nail or the like.

At this time, when the game ball wins in any of the three starting ports 14 to 16, the display symbol of each symbol display portion of the variable symbol display means 22 fluctuates for a certain period of time, for example, the variation of each symbol display part. The design stops in order from the left. If the stop symbol of the variable symbol display means 22 is a combination of hit symbols such as "7/7/7", an exciting signal is input to the solenoid 31 of the special winning means 19, and the opening / closing plate 30 thereof is rotated forward. Then opening
Open the front side of 29.

The big winning means 19 is normally in a closed state. That is, when the solenoid 31 is in the demagnetized state, the movable iron core 58
Is descending downward due to its own weight and the urging force of the spring 59. Therefore, the interlocking member 60 is pushed down to the lower position, the opening / closing plate 30 stands up from the pivot portion 45, and the opening 29 is opened.
Is closed from the front side.

Then, when the solenoid 31 is excited, the movable iron core 58 is lifted by the attractive force, and the vertically slidable interlocking member 60 is pulled up along the rear wall plate 28. Then the interlocking member 60
Since the interlocking pin 46 of the arm 44 of the opening 29 is engaged with the engaging concave portion 65 of the engaging pawl 64, the engaging pawl 64 is integrated with the interlocking member 60.
9, the opening / closing plate 30 is rotated around the pivot portion 45 through the interlocking pin 46 and the arm 44 in the direction indicated by the arrow a in FIG. That is, the opening / closing plate 30 rotates forward to open the front side of the opening 29. Then, when the opening / closing plate 30 is opened to a slightly raised position, the arm 44 contacts the stopper 51 from below.

On the other hand, when the interlocking member 60 rises, the retaining member 35 is fixed to the interlocking member 60. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Ascends to the vicinity of the side and puts the game ball in the stop port 34 so that it can be stopped. Therefore, the game balls can be stopped at the stop opening 34 in conjunction with opening of the opening / closing plate 30.

When the opening / closing plate 30 is opened, the opening / closing plate 30 guides the game balls falling along the game board 5 into the opening 29, so that a large number of game balls are opened from the opening 29 in the big winning means 19. After entering, the game ball falls on the inclined rail 33, and then moves to the right along the inclined rail 33 in the direction of arrow b in FIG. Then, first move on the inclined rail 33 1
After entering the stop 34 from the right end of the inclined rail 33, the second game ball is stopped in a state in which the stop 34 is closed by the stop member 35 below the stop 34, and The stop detection switch 37 detects the game ball.

When the first game ball stops at the stop 34,
Since the game ball is blocking the stop port 34, the subsequent game ball moving along the inclined rail 33 is guided from the guide port 52 on the rear wall plate 28 side after colliding with the stopped game ball. Aisle 32
Is guided to and is sent to the back side of the game board 5 through the guide passage 32. Then, each time one game ball passes, the counting detection switch 38 detects the game ball.

When the counting detection switch 38 detects nine game balls or when a certain time has elapsed from the time when the opening / closing plate 30 is opened, the solenoid 31 is demagnetized and its movable iron core 58 descends. Therefore, the interlocking member 60 descends downward along the rear wall plate 28, and the opening / closing plate 30 rotates around the pivot portion 45 in the standing direction to close the opening 29. On the other hand, when the interlocking member 60 descends,
Since the stop member 35 descends together with the interlocking member 60, the stopped game ball on the stop member 35 falls downward, and the stop of the game ball at the stop port 34 is released.

Since this game ball is guided to the guide passage 32 through the stop passage 39, the counting detection switch 38 detects the game ball. That is, the counting detection switch 38
If the player detects the ninth game ball and closes the opening / closing plate 30, the number of winnings to the big winning means 19 becomes 10 at the time when the game ball that is released from the stop is detected.

When the game ball that has moved to the stop opening 34 side along the inclined rail 33 enters the guide opening 52 side, before hitting the game ball that is stopped at the stop opening 34, the guide portion 67 of the front wall portion 49 rearwardly moves. As it is guided to the side, it smoothly enters the guide opening 52 of the rear wall plate 28. In addition, even if the game ball moving along the inclined rail 33 collides with the parked game ball, there is a blocking projection 66 on the upper side of the game ball at an interval equal to or less than one game ball, so that the game is stopped. Subsequent game balls will not climb on the upper side of the ball.

Therefore, although the game ball is retained at the stop port 34 at the downstream end of the inclined rail 33, an extra game ball does not stay near the stop portion. One opening operation of the big winning means 19 surely 1
You can win 0 game balls.

That is, if an extra game ball stays at the right end of the inclined rail 33, the counting detection switch 38 detects nine game balls and closes the opening / closing plate 30. An extra game ball will pass through the counting detection switch 38, but since it is difficult for the extra game ball to stay in the stopping portion,
There is no such problem.

In this embodiment, there is a stop port 34 at the downstream end of the inclined rail 33 in the opening 29, and the stop member 35 is used to stop the game ball in the stop port 34. Compared to the case where the opening / closing plate 30 is provided with a stop, the opening / closing plate
The opening angle of 30 can be set arbitrarily, and the game ball can be reliably stopped without being affected by the game ball falling on the opening / closing plate 30 from above.

The inclined rail 33 is the opening of the big winning means 19.
It is in the left and right direction inside 29, and guides the game ball in the left and right direction along the inclined rail 33 and stops at the stop 34, so that the player can confirm the stopped game ball from the opening 29 side. It is easy to do, and the size of the big winning means 19 in the front-rear direction can be suppressed to be small despite the fact that the game ball is stopped inside the opening 29.

Since the retaining member 35 can freely move in and out below the retaining port 34, the exterior structure on the upper side of the retaining port 34 is simplified as compared with the case where the retaining member 35 is provided above the retaining port 34. it can. Moreover, since the game ball is stopped so as to block the stop opening 34 with the game ball, the succeeding game ball can enter the stop opening 34 even though the stop member 35 is below the stop opening 34. Nor.

The stop member 35 is interlocked with the opening and closing of the opening and closing plate 30,
When the opening / closing plate 30 is opened, the retaining member 35 projects below the retaining port 34 to retain the game ball. Therefore, when the opening / closing plate 30 is opened, the game ball can be always retained. Since the stationary detection switch 37 detects the stopped game ball, if the game ball stops at the stop port 34, the stop detection switch 37 can take out the stop signal to the outside.

Between the front wall plate 27 and the rear wall plate 28, a pair of side wall parts 47 and 48 corresponding to the left and right sides of the opening 29 of the front wall plate 27 are arranged, and the front wall plate 27 and the rear wall plate are arranged. An inclined rail 33 is provided between the plate 28 and the side walls 47, 48 so that one end in the left-right direction is lowered, and the inclined rail 33 is arranged below the lower edge of the opening 29. Therefore, the game ball that has entered the opening 29 can be reliably guided to the downstream end by the inclined rail 33.

Further, since the inclined rail 33 is inclined so that one end in the left-right direction is lowered, and the retaining port 34 is provided at the downstream end of the inclined rail 33, the retaining port 34 is located on the end side of the inclined rail 33. Can be placed in the middle of the inclined rail 33 and the stop 34
As compared with the case where there is, the structure can be simplified, and the inclination of the inclined rail 33 can be easily secured, and the movement of the game ball on the inclined rail 33 can be made smooth.

A guide opening for guiding the game ball on the inclined rail 33 to the guide passage 32 in the vicinity of the upstream side of the inclined rail 33 with respect to the stop opening 34.
Since there is 52, together with the fact that the stopped game ball is blocking the stop 34, the subsequent game ball is guided from the guide 52 to the guide passage.
You can smoothly guide to 32. The solenoid 31 for opening / closing the opening / closing plate 30 is vertically located on the back side of the rear wall plate 28 in the vicinity of the retaining port 34, and the retaining member 35 is driven by this solenoid 31, so that the retaining member 35 is driven. The structure can be simplified because it is not necessary to separately provide a component for doing so.

Moreover, an interlocking member 60 for interlocking the solenoid 31 and the opening / closing plate 30 is provided so as to be vertically slidable along the rear wall plate 28 so that the opening / closing plate 30 is opened when rising and the opening and closing plate 30 is closed when descending. Since the interlocking member 60 is provided with the retaining member 35, the interlocking member 60 can be moved easily and smoothly, and the movement of the interlocking member 60 can be directly used for the withdrawal operation of the retaining member 35. As for the relationship between the retaining member 35 and the retaining member 35, the retaining member 35 may be simply provided on the interlocking member 60.

There is a counting detection switch 38 for detecting a game ball passing through the guide passage 32, and a stop passage 39 for guiding the game ball at the stop 34 to the guide passage 32 on the upper side of the counting detection switch 38. Therefore, it is possible to detect and count the gaming balls after the suspension is released by the counting detection switch 38. In the embodiment, the big prize means 19 of the pachinko machine has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to the big prize means 19 for the pachinko machine, and the same applies to various kinds of prize means in the arrangement ball machine and the like. It goes without saying that it can be carried out.
