2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, two movable wing pieces are axially mounted so as to face each other, and when the movable wing pieces are rotated, the distance between the upper ends is changed to make it easier or harder to accept a hit ball. A pachinko game machine using a tulip type hitting ball winning device that can be converted into two states is known.

Further, in recent years, an auxiliary game device which is operated in response to the winning of a hit ball at a specific winning opening provided on a game board and has a relatively low occurrence rate, but which produces a specific game state called a big hit, There has also been proposed a pachinko gaming machine using a relatively large-sized variable winning device in which the winning hole is continuously opened and the winning rate is rapidly increased due to the occurrence of a specific game state in the auxiliary game device.

[0004]

However, in a pachinko gaming machine using only the tulip type hitting ball winning device, since the opening and closing of the two movable wing pieces only repeats the expansion and contraction of the winning area, The game tends to be monotonous. Also, in a pachinko gaming machine equipped with an auxiliary game device and a variable winning device that is operated in association with this,
Once a big hit situation occurs, it is almost certain that a large amount of prize balls will be won, which will fuel the player's euphoria, and after the big hit situation occurs, the game will only be for winning prize balls. .

Further, each of the above-mentioned pachinko game machines only increases the winning probability by expanding (or projecting) the winning area of the accessory (tulip type hitting ball winning device and variable winning device). That is, the flow path of the hit ball flowing down the game function unit does not change so much. Therefore, the player only sees the batting ball that flows down almost the same whether the accessory is open or closed, and the interest of the game sharply decreases as the pachinko game continues. .

According to the present invention, the player is allowed to continue the technical intervention in the game so that the game is less likely to be monotonous, and the player's motivation is not unnecessarily agitated to enhance the interest of the game. It is to provide a gaming machine capable of playing.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a game function portion formed on the front surface of a game board, which is integrally formed with a rotatable prize control member constituting a specific prize area. The flow path converting means having a flow-down control section for controlling the direction of the hit ball flowing down is provided.

According to the above construction, the flow path of the hit ball is changed by the winning control member provided in the game function section, whereby the contents of the game are diversified by the change of the flow path of the hit ball. In addition to being prevented from becoming monotonous, even if a special game mode occurs, it is not always guaranteed that a large amount of prize balls will be obtained, so that the player's aspirations will not be misled. As a result, the enjoyment of the game is improved.

A pair of substantially vertical guide walls 94 are formed in the lower portion of the outlet 93.
By 4, the winning ball that merges with the first flow path A and flows out through the outlet 93 and the hit ball that has won the specific winning port 9a are allowed to flow downward.

The flow path converting device 7 normally has a pair of winning control members 71 for controlling the probability that a hit ball will enter the special winning area 5 therebelow. Winning control member 71
Are rotatably supported in the left-right direction by support shafts 71a, and a downflow control portion 71b is integrally formed in the lower portion thereof. Inside the flow-down control section 71b, a winning frame 72 is provided corresponding to a lead-out hole for leading out the specific winning ball to the rear of the game board 1.

In the normal state, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, the flow path conversion device 7 is in a posture in which the winning control member 71 has an overall C-shape and the upper end has a space of one sphere. Retained. The upper end opening of the winning control member 71 faces the lower part of the guide wall 94 of the specific winning device 9, and the hit ball winning the specific winning opening 9a or 9b is guided within the interval of the winning control member 71. It is supposed to be. In other words, the specific winning area is constituted by the winning control member 71. When the winning ball is guided into the specific winning area constituted by the winning control member 71, the physical force is transmitted to rotate the winning control member 71 by an opening / closing mechanism (not shown) similar to a tulip. The inversion state is shown by the chain line A in 2. Also, the winning control member 7
When the winning ball enters the specific winning area formed by the winning control member 71 while 1 is in the inverted state, the original posture shown by the solid line is restored again. Winning control member 71
The winning ball that has been rotated is guided to the back of the game board.

It is blocked by 1b and cannot enter the special winning area 5 below. Then, in the inverted state such as the chain line a, the third flow path C is brought into a state of being joined with the first flow path A, and the hit ball passing through any of the flow paths is in the inverted state. It enters within the interval of 71 and acts to return it to the original posture.

Thus, when the winning control member 71 is in the inverted state as indicated by the chain line A, the downflow control portion 71b opens the second flow path B to bring the special winning area 5 into communication with the surrounding game area. Let Therefore, it is easy for the hit ball to enter the special winning area 5.

In the normal state in which the prize winning control member 71 is held in the original posture, the flow-down control section 71b is positioned so as to be continuous with the special prize area constituting members 5a and 5b constituting the special prize area 5.

The hit ball that has entered the special winning area 5 collides with an obstacle nail 51 provided inside and flows down while changing its direction and accidentally wins the special winning opening 6. When a ball hits the special winning opening 6, a special winning mode in which the special variable winning device 8 below the special winning opening 6 is opened is generated. When this special prize mode occurs, a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) or a predetermined number of prizes (for example, 10
The special variable winning device 8 is kept open until the number of individual winnings is reached. In the game state of the special mode in which the prize control member 71 of the flow path conversion device 7 is in the inverted state, there is a possibility that such a special prize mode may occur, and as a result, a large amount of prize balls can be obtained. Given.

However, it is not guaranteed that a large amount of prize balls will be obtained, and that the prize balls will be promptly extinguished by the inflow of the hit balls from the specific winning openings 9a, 9b or the third flow path C into the flow path converting device 7. Become. In other words, the reverse winning state of the winning control member 71 may disappear without generating the special winning mode even once, while the possibility of the special winning mode continuing until the so-called hit is stopped. is there.

Moreover, since the specific winning area is expanded when the winning control member 71 is in the inverted state, the probability of disappearance is higher than the probability of occurrence of the special state gaming state. Therefore, for the player, after the occurrence of the special mode, it is possible to obtain more prize balls by changing the way of hitting balls so that the hit balls do not gather in the first flow path A or the third flow path C. There will be more room for technical intervention.

In the normal state in which the second flow path B is closed by the flow path converting device 7, when the hit ball that has entered the special winning area 5 from below hits the specific winning opening 6,
The special variation winning device 8 is opened.

2 and 3 show the details of the special winning area 5, the flow path converting device 7 and the specific winning device 9 provided in the game function section 4. As shown in FIG.

The specific winning device 9 has the above-described specific winning opening 9
In addition to a and 9b, there is a winning entrance 9c as a general winning entrance in the upper center part. To the above-mentioned 1st specific winning a prize mouth 9b which is provided on both sides of this winning a prize mouth 9c, it has flowed down along the 1st channel A which is formed by the guide nail 13a and the like which is planted in game board 1 and the like. The hit ball wins. To the second specific winning opening 9a formed in the jump-in type winning opening, a hit ball that crashes into the obstacle nail 13b planted below and bounces back accidentally wins the prize.

At the back of the specific winning device 9, there is provided a guide trough 91 which is inclined downward toward the center in order to collect hit balls that have won the specific winning opening 9a. Further, in the center of the specific winning device 9, in order to make the winning balls guided by the guiding gutter 91 flow down to the game function unit 4 in front of the game board again, as shown in FIG. A merging portion 92 that is inclined downward is formed, and a lead-out port 93 is formed in front of it. A pair of substantially vertical guide walls 94 are formed in the lower portion of the outlet 93.
By 4, the winning ball that merges with the first flow path A and flows out through the outlet 93 and the hit ball that has won the specific winning port 9a are allowed to flow downward.

The flow path converting device 7 normally has a pair of winning control members 71 for controlling the probability that a hit ball will enter the special winning area 5 therebelow. Winning control member 71
Are rotatably supported in the left-right direction by support shafts 71a, and a downflow control portion 71b is integrally formed in the lower portion thereof. Inside the flow-down control section 71b, a winning frame 72 is provided corresponding to a lead-out hole for leading out the specific winning ball to the rear of the game board 1.

In the normal state, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, the flow path conversion device 7 is in a posture in which the winning control member 71 has an overall C-shape and the upper end has a space of one sphere. Retained. The upper end opening of the winning control member 71 faces the lower part of the guide wall 94 of the specific winning device 9, and the hit ball winning the specific winning opening 9a or 9b is guided within the interval of the winning control member 71. It is supposed to be. In other words, the specific winning area is constituted by the winning control member 71. When the winning ball is guided into the specific winning area constituted by the winning control member 71, the physical force is transmitted to rotate the winning control member 71 by an opening / closing mechanism (not shown) similar to a tulip. The special game mode will be created by reversing the state as shown by the chain line a in 2. Also, when the winning ball enters the specific winning area formed by the winning control member 71 while the winning control member 71 is in the inverted state, the original posture shown by the solid line is restored again. The winning ball, which has rotated the winning control member 71, is guided to the back of the game board.

On the side of the upper end of the flow path conversion device 7, a third flow path C is constituted by a guide nail 13c planted in the game board 1, and normally passes through the third flow path C. The hit ball is a winning control member 71 and a downflow control unit 7 integrated therewith.
It is blocked by 1b and cannot enter the special winning area 5 below. Then, in the inverted state such as the chain line a, the third flow path C is brought into a state of being joined with the first flow path A, and the hit ball passing through any of the flow paths is in the inverted state. It enters within the interval of 71 and acts to return it to the original posture.

Thus, when the winning control member 71 is in the inverted state as indicated by the chain line A, the downflow control portion 71b opens the second flow path B to bring the special winning area 5 into communication with the surrounding game area. Let Therefore, it is easy for the hit ball to enter the special winning area 5.

In the normal state in which the prize winning control member 71 is held in the original posture, the flow-down control section 71b is positioned so as to be continuous with the special prize area constituting members 5a and 5b constituting the special prize area 5. Therefore, the second flow path B constituted by the guide nail 13c and the special winning area forming member 5a (or 5b) which are planted on both sides of the upper end of the flow path converting device 7 is closed. The hit ball cannot flow into the special winning area 5 from the second flow path B.

However, in the state where the second flow path B is closed, the hit ball cannot enter the special winning area 5 at all, and although the probability is low, it cannot enter from below by bouncing from the lower obstacle nail. It is possible.

The hit ball that has entered the special winning area 5 collides with an obstacle nail 51 provided inside and flows down while changing its direction and accidentally wins the special winning opening 6. When a ball hits the special winning opening 6, a special winning mode in which the special variable winning device 8 below the special winning opening 6 is opened is generated. When this special prize mode occurs, a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) or a predetermined number of prizes (for example, 10
The special variable winning device 8 is kept open until the number of individual winnings is reached. In the game state of the special mode in which the prize control member 71 of the flow path conversion device 7 is in the inverted state, there is a possibility that such a special prize mode may occur, and as a result, a large amount of prize balls can be obtained. Given. Therefore, a special game mode activating means capable of generating a special game mode is constituted by the flow path conversion device 7 and the like.

However, it is not guaranteed that a large amount of prize balls will be obtained, and that the prize balls will be promptly extinguished by the inflow of the hit balls from the specific winning openings 9a, 9b or the third flow path C into the flow path converting device 7. Become. In other words, the reverse winning state of the winning control member 71 may disappear without generating the special winning mode even once, while the possibility of the special winning mode continuing until the so-called hit is stopped. is there.

Moreover, since the specific winning area is expanded when the winning control member 71 is in the inverted state, the probability of disappearance is higher than the probability of occurrence of the special state gaming state. Therefore, for the player, after the occurrence of the special mode, it is possible to obtain more prize balls by changing the way of hitting balls so that the hit balls do not gather in the first flow path A or the third flow path C. There will be more room for technical intervention.

In the normal state in which the second flow path B is closed by the flow path converting device 7, when the hit ball that has entered the special winning area 5 from below hits the specific winning opening 6,
The special variation winning device 8 is opened.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the back mechanism section of the game board 1.

The rear end portion of the flow path converting device 7 is inserted into the through hole 1a formed in the game board 1 corresponding to the mounting position of the flow path converting device 7 so that the rear end of the game board 1 is projected. An operating piece 74 is attached to the protruding rear end portion so as to be vertically movable. The flow path switching detector 31 including a micro switch or the like is arranged on the back surface of the game board 1 corresponding to the tip of the operating piece 74. Actuator 74
Is moved downward by the weight of the winning ball every time the winning ball enters the flow path converting device 7, and activates the flow path switching detector 31 to generate a detection signal. Actuator 74
The winning ball that has passed through is once guided to the side (to the left in the figure) by a guide gutter 41 provided on the back surface of the game board 1 and then made to flow down to a guide shelf (not shown) below the game board 1.
