Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure the occurrence of a puncture and easily perform a right execution hole nail adjustment by arranging a pattern operation hole, a specific prize hole, a right execution hole and a big prize hole in a grouped state, prohibiting the entry of a ball in the right execution hole before the generation of a right, and prohibiting the entry of a ball in a right generation zone as well during the generation of the right. SOLUTION: A pattern display device 3, a pattern operation hole 4, a specific hole prize hole 5, a right execution hole 6 and a big prize hole 7 are arranged in an approximately vertical row at the center of a game board 2. All the holes 3 to 7 are assembled with the game board 2 in such a state as mounted on a single and common substrate 2. The pattern operation hole 4 is formed so as to be projected from the game board 2 before the occurrence of right for allowing the entry of a ball, and retreats into the game board 2 during the occurrence of the right for prohibiting the entry of a ball. As a result, a ball is not shot at the right execution hole 6, even when the nails thereof are arranged at a large gap. In addition, once the right occurs, a ball does not enter the pattern operation hole 4 and the pattern display part 3 does not operate. Thus, a ball is prevented from entering a right generation zone 5a and the occurrence of a puncture is thereby prevented. According to this construction, the need of changing a ball shooting force can be eliminated, due to the concentrated arrangement of the holes 3 to 7.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a so-called type 3 pachinko machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in the above-mentioned third type of pachinko machine, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, when a symbol is entered into a symbol operating port 101, a symbol display device 105 operates, and this symbol display device 105
When a specific symbol is displayed on the specific winning opening 102, the specific winning opening 102 is opened for a certain period of time and the right generation area 10 set therein is set.
It becomes possible to enter 2a, and this right generation area 102a
When a player wins a right (big hit) when he / she hits the game, and when he / she hits the right exercising port 103 while the right is playing, the special winning opening 104 is held for a fixed time (eg, 9.3 seconds) or a fixed number (eg, 10 It is configured to be opened while the game balls of (individual) are entered. One right is exhausted when a certain number (for example, 16) of game balls are inserted into the right exercising opening 103, and accordingly, when the special winning opening 104 is opened for a certain number of times (for example, 16 times). .

As a characteristic of the third type of pachinko machine,
First, when the player reenters the right generation area 102a while the right is generated, the right is lost (punctured) on the way, so the right generation area 102a during the right generation.
It is necessary to reduce the probability of re-entry into the game, to surely digest the generated rights, and as a result to obtain the satisfaction of the player. Secondly, before the rights are generated, the right exercising port 103 It is difficult to enter the ball, and once the right is generated, this right exercise mouth 1
It is required to make it easier for players to enter 03 and to smoothly digest the generated right in order to obtain the player's satisfaction.

In order to satisfy the functions required for these third-class pachinko machines, conventionally, as shown in the drawing, the symbol operating port 10
1 and the specific winning opening 102 are arranged in the center of the board 100, while the right exercising opening 103 (type 3 starting opening) and the special winning opening 104 are arranged on the right side of the board 100.
Before the right is generated, the game balls are concentrated in the center of the board 100 to increase the probability of entering the symbol operating port 101 and reduce the probability of entering the right exercising port 103, while operating the symbol. Once the right is generated by the ball entering the mouth 101 and the specific winning opening 102, the resilience (the launching force of the game ball by the handle operation of the player)
By changing the value, the game balls are concentrated on the right side of the board, and thereby the probability of entering the right exercising port 103 is increased and the probability of re-entering the specific winning port 102 and thus the right generating area 102a is reduced. I was trying to prevent punctures.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional structure, the resilience must be changed before and after the generation of the right, and this operation is troublesome for the player who enjoys the game. It was

Further, as described above, puncture cannot be surely prevented only by the change of the launch area of the game ball due to the change of the elastic force, and the right once generated cannot be smoothly digested. Along with this, the nail adjustment of the right exercising port 103 was performed, but this nail adjustment was extremely difficult. That is, the right exercising port 10
If the nail of No. 3 is too soft, there is a problem that the right exercising port 103 is hit and the probability of entering the ball becomes high even though the right has not yet occurred. If the nail is too tight, the right occurs. Nevertheless, the right exercise mouth 103
There is a problem that the probability of entering the ball is reduced and the rights can not be digested smoothly, resulting in frustration of the player, and it is extremely difficult to adjust the nails to satisfy both Met.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine capable of reliably preventing puncture without changing elastic force before and after the right issuance and requiring no difficult nail adjustment of the right exercising mouth. And

[0008]

Therefore, in the invention according to claim 1, the specific winning opening is opened when a specific symbol is displayed on the symbol display device by entering the symbol operating port, and the specific winning port is opened. In the pachinko machine where the right is generated by entering the right generation area of the winning hole, and the large winning opening is opened by entering the right exercising opening while the right is being generated, the symbol working opening and the specific winning opening The right exercising mouth and the special winning opening are collectively provided, and the right exercising mouth cannot be entered before the right is generated and the right exercising area cannot be entered while the right is being generated. It is characterized by

According to the above construction, since the symbol working opening, the right generating area, the right exercising opening and the special winning opening are collectively provided, the player changes the resilience regardless of before and after the generation of the right. No need. On the other hand, since it is impossible to enter the right exercise opening before the right is generated, there is no problem even if the nail is loosened, and it is impossible to re-enter the right generating area while the right is being generated. Therefore, puncture is surely prevented.

As described above, since it is not necessary to change the resilience of the game ball before and after the right is generated, the annoyance of the player is eliminated, and puncture is surely prevented so that the right can be smoothly digested. Therefore, the player can obtain a high degree of satisfaction. Further, since the nail of the right exercising mouth may be made sweet, there is no need to perform difficult nail adjustment as in the past.

The invention according to claim 2 is the pachinko machine according to claim 1, wherein the symbol working opening, the right generation area, the right exercising opening, and the special winning opening are collectively provided on a single mounting board. It is characterized by that.

According to the above construction, the symbol working opening, the right generating area, the right exercising opening and the special winning opening are assembled into a single mounting board, so that they can be easily mounted on the board.

According to the third aspect of the invention, the specific winning opening is opened when a specific symbol is displayed on the symbol display device by entering the symbol operating opening, and the specific winning opening enters the right generation area. In a pachinko machine in which a right is generated by a ball, and a big winning hole is opened by entering the right exercising opening while the right is being generated, the symbol actuation opening, the specific winning opening, the right exercising opening, and the large opening Consolidation of prize holes is provided to determine whether the right has been generated or is being generated, and if the right has not been generated, the entry into the right exercising port is invalidated and the large prize hole is opened. Without it, if the right is generated, it is characterized in that the symbol display device is not operated by invalidating the ball entering the symbol operating port.

According to the above construction, since the symbol working opening, the right generating area, the right exercising opening and the special winning opening are centrally provided in the center of the board, the player can revive regardless of whether the right is generated or not. There is no need to change power. On the other hand, before the right is generated, it is possible to prevent the ball from entering the right exercising port from being invalidated and aiming at it, so the nail of the right exercising port should be made sweet, and the symbol is activated while the right is occurring. Since the entrance to the mouth is invalid and the symbol display device does not operate, and as a result the specific winning opening does not open, it becomes impossible to enter the right generation area, and as a result, puncture is reliably prevented. Since the rights are smoothly digested, the player can be highly satisfied.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, various embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows the entire game board surface of a pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment. At the center of the board surface 2, a symbol display device 3, a symbol actuating port 4, a specific winning port 5, a right exercising port 6 and a special winning port 7 are arranged substantially in a line up and down, all of which are a single substrate. 8 is assembled to the board surface 2 in an assembled state.

No other change is required for the other board construction, but a brief description will be given below with reference to FIG.
Is a rail 10 that divides the game area on the board surface 2,
This rail 10 is strongly rotated once in a spiral shape in the clockwise direction starting from the lower left part of the board surface 2 and ending at the upper left part,
A passage 10a for the game ball B to pass through is formed in a range from the lower left portion to the upper left portion of the board surface 2.

A return rubber 11 is arranged at approximately the middle point of the rail 10, that is, at the upper right portion of the board surface 2.
A return ball prevention holder 12 is arranged at the end of 0. When a player operates a handle of a launching device (not shown), game balls B are shot one by one in the direction of arrow A along the passage 10a. When the game ball B is strongly hit out, it is returned in the opposite direction by the return rubber 11, and the returned game ball B is prevented from entering the passage 10a by the return ball prevention holder 12.

In the game area on the inside of the rail 10, in addition to the above-mentioned symbol display device 3, symbol actuation port 4, specific winning port 5, right exercising port 6 and large winning port 7, there are 5 ordinary winning ports 13 -17 and four windmills 20-23 are arranged. Although not shown in the drawing, nails are scattered on the board surface 2 to scatter the direction of the game balls B that have been hit.

Now, the symbol display device 3 itself does not need to be changed, so it will not be described in detail, but when the game ball B enters the symbol actuation port 4, the three symbols of the symbol display device 3 respectively change. To start. When a certain period of time (for example, 5.7 seconds) elapses after the symbols start changing, the symbols stop in the order of left side, right side, and middle side. With all symbols stopped, the specific winning opening 5 is opened when the three symbols are a preset combination. It should be noted that the combination of symbols has been conventionally set as appropriate and does not require any particular change in the present embodiment, and therefore the description thereof is omitted.

The symbol actuating port 4 can enter the ball in the state before the right is generated, but cannot enter the ball in the state in which the right is being generated. That is, as schematically shown in FIG. 2, the symbol operating port 4 is provided by the solenoid S so as to be movable in the protruding or retracting direction with respect to the board surface 2, and is shown by a two-dot chain line in the figure before the right is generated. In this way, the game ball B is projected so that it can be received from the board surface 2, and the pattern starts to change by receiving it. On the other hand, during the generation of the right, as shown by the solid line in the figure, the game ball B is drawn inward from the board surface 2 and cannot enter the game ball B. Therefore, in this case, the variation of the symbol is not started.

A specific winning opening 5 is arranged below the symbol working opening 4. In the case of the present embodiment, this specific winning opening 5 does not particularly need to be changed, and is a horizontal oblong that is opened only when the symbols of the symbol display device 3 are aligned in a certain combination through the ball entering the symbol operating port 4. Mainly covers. The lid is opened for a certain time (for example, 5.5 seconds) and then closed. The inside of the specific winning opening 5 is further divided into a plurality of winning openings, one of which is set in the right generation area 5a.

When the specific winning opening 5 is opened and one game ball B is entered into the right generation area 5a, a special device equipped with the right exercising opening 6 and the special winning opening 7 is activated, and the right Occurs. When the right is generated, the rotating body 6a arranged immediately below the specific winning opening 5 starts to rotate. A substantially U-shaped right exercising port 6 is provided in a cut shape at one location on the peripheral surface of the rotating body 6a. The rotating body 6a is stopped at a position with the right exercising port 6 facing downward in a state where the special device is not operating (before the right is generated), and starts rotating when the special device is operated, and is rotated during the right is being generated. to continue. Therefore, when one game ball B enters the right generation area 5a and a right is generated, the rotating body 6a starts the rotation operation in the clockwise direction. A stop portion 6b capable of stopping one game ball B is provided at the upper position of the rotating body, and the game ball B stopped at this stop portion 6b enters the right exercising port 6.

When the game ball B is entered into the right exercising port 6 in this way, the special winning opening 7 is opened for a fixed time (for example, 9.3 seconds). The opening operation of the special winning opening 7 is performed by opening the opening / closing bodies (tulips) arranged on both sides thereof. Even before the elapse of a certain period of time, when a certain number (for example, 10) of game balls B are entered during the opening, the opening operation ends. The rotating body 6a that has received one game ball B in the right exercising port 6 continues to rotate, and the received game ball B is counted as a winning ball.

A fixed number (for example, 16) of game balls B are inserted into the right exercising port 6 and the opening operation of the special winning opening 8 is repeated for a fixed number of times (for example, 16 times), whereby one right Is digested.

As described above, according to the third type of pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, the symbol operation port 4, the specific winning opening 5, the right exercising opening 6 and the special winning opening 7 are on the game board surface 2. Since it is centralized (center in the left-right direction), it is not necessary for the player to change the launching force of the game ball, that is, the resilience of the operating handle before and during the generation of the right. You can enjoy the game without playing.

Before the right is generated, it is possible to enter the symbol operating port 4, but it is not possible to enter the right exercising port 6, so the nail of the right exercising port 6 is made soft. However, there is no need to worry about being hit with a target, and therefore there is no need to perform difficult nail adjustment as in the past. Moreover, once the right is generated, it becomes impossible to enter the symbol operating port 4, so the symbol display device 3 does not operate, and as a result, the specific winning port 5 is not opened, so that there is no entering the right generating area 5a. Therefore, so-called puncture is surely prevented, and since the nails may be sweetened as described above, smooth right digestion is achieved, and as a result, the player is not frustrated as in the past.

Various modifications can be added to the first embodiment described above. For example, in the first embodiment, the symbol actuating port 4 is illustrated by the solenoid S, but the specific winning port 5 is moved by the solenoid S. Before the right is generated, the symbol of the symbol display device 3 is constant. When the right is generated, the specific winning opening is projected to the front side of the board so that the player can enter the ball. On the other hand, while the right is generated, the symbol on the symbol display device 3 is adjusted to a certain combination through the ball entering the symbol operating port 4. Even at this time, it is possible to prevent the player from entering the right generation area 5a by keeping the specific winning opening pulled into the inside of the board, and the same effect as the above is achieved.

The rotating body 6a having the right exercising port 6 may be moved by the solenoid S. In the case of such a configuration, before the right is generated, the rotating body is pulled into the inside of the board so that the player cannot enter the right exercising port. In this way, there is no need to worry about being hit by a target before the right is generated, and thus it is not necessary to perform difficult nail adjustment as in the past.

Next, a second embodiment with further modifications will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, three rotating bodies 30, 31, 32 are arranged on a single substrate 8 and the upper rotating body 30
The symbol operation opening 30a, the specific winning opening 31a in the inner rotating body 31, the right exercising opening 32a in the lower rotating body 32 is provided in the shape of a notch at each one peripheral edge, and each winning opening 30a
Only a, 31a, 32a reaches the upper side, the ball can be entered. In the case of such a configuration, before the right is generated, only the rotating body 30 is rotated so that only the symbol actuating opening 30a can enter the ball, and the rotating body 32 is stopped with the right exercising opening 32a facing downward to enter the ball. Leave it in an impossible state.
As a result, since the ball cannot be entered into the right exercising port 32a before the right is generated, it is not aimed at, and therefore the nail may be made sweet.

While the rotating body 30 is rotating, the symbol display device 3 fluctuates when entering the symbol operating opening 30a, and the rotating body 31 rotates when a specific symbol is displayed, whereby the specific winning opening 31 is displayed. The right is generated when it is entered. When the right is generated, the rotating bodies 30 and 31 are stopped with the symbol operating opening 30a and the specific winning opening 31a facing downward as shown, respectively, and the symbol operating opening 30a and the specific winning opening 3 are stopped.
While being unable to enter the ball 1a, the rotating body 32 starts to rotate. When the right exercising port 32a is inserted while the rotating body 32 is rotating, the special winning opening 33 is opened. Even with such a configuration, since it is not necessary to change the resilience before and after the right is generated, the player is not bothered and puncture during the right generation is surely prevented.

Next, a third embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, if a fixed right exercising port 35 is arranged directly below the solenoid moving type symbol operating port 4 illustrated above, the symbol operating port 4 is forward (left side in the figure) as shown by a solid line in the figure. In the state in which the player can enter the ball (before the right is generated), the symbol actuating port 4 blocks the upper portion of the right exercising port 35 to make it impossible to enter the ball, so that the targeting of the right exercising port 35 is prevented. Therefore, while the difficult nail adjustment is unnecessary, the right exercising port 3 is in a state in which the symbol actuating port 4 is pulled into the substrate 8 (inside the board surface 2) and cannot enter the ball (during right generation).
Since the upper part of 5 is opened and ready for ball entry, puncture is reliably prevented and smooth right digestion is achieved.
Note that it is similar to the above that there is no need to change the resilience before and after the right is generated.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a bifurcated guide path 43 is provided, and the symbol actuating port 40 is arranged in one of the branch paths 43a and the right exercising port 41 is arranged in parallel in the other branch path 43b. The shielding plate 42 for switching the branching route may be provided at the branching point. In the case of the fourth embodiment, before the right is generated, the shielding plate 42 is moved to the other branching route 43b side as shown by the chain double-dashed line in the figure to make the right exercising port 41 in a state where it cannot enter the ball. During generation, one of the branch paths 43 is formed on the shield plate 42 as shown by the solid line in the figure.
It suffices if the symbol actuating port 40 is moved to the a side so that the symbol actuating port 40 cannot enter the ball. Even with such a configuration, the same operational effect as described above can be obtained.

In addition, as shown in FIG.
The prize winning opening 50 that doubles as the symbol operating opening 50a and the right exercising opening 50b, the specific winning opening 51 having the right generating area 51a, and the special winning opening 52 are arranged in a row in a substantially upper and lower row. It is determined whether the right is being generated, and if the right is not generated, the winning opening 50 is made to function as the symbol operating opening 50a, and if the right is being generated, the winning opening 50 is used as the right exercising opening 5.
It may be configured to function as 0b.

According to the fifth embodiment, since the entrance to the right exercising port 50b is invalid before the right is generated, the special winning opening 52 is not opened, and if the right is being generated, the symbol operating opening 50a is opened. The symbol display device 3 does not operate because the ball is invalidated, and therefore the ball is prevented from entering the specific winning opening 51, so that the puncture is surely prevented. In this way, the same effect as the above can be obtained by switching the function of the winning opening 50 before and after the generation of the right. The function of the winning opening 50 may be switched by a control program that controls the operation of the pachinko machine 1. In addition, in the case of this configuration, since the symbol operation port 50a and the right exercising port 50b are shared by the single winning port 50, the board configuration is refreshed. Further, in the case of this configuration, it is desirable to display in a form visible to the player whether the winning opening 50 is functioning as a symbol working opening or as a right exercising opening. It is preferable to install a display lamp or the like for distinguishing the two. However, it is also possible to separately provide the symbol operating port and the right exercising port, invalidate the entry to the right exercising port before the right is generated, and invalidate the entering to the symbol operating port while the right is being generated.

Finally, the present invention can be carried out in still another mode, that is, one of the symbol operation opening, the specific winning opening, the right exercising opening and the large winning opening set in the third class pachinko machine. By arranging them in one place, it is not necessary to separate them before and after the right is generated, eliminating the annoyance of the player, and before the right is generated, it is impossible to enter the right exercise opening, while during the right is being generated By making it impossible to enter the right generation area, punctures can be surely prevented, dissatisfaction of the player can be eliminated, and the conventional difficult nail adjustment can be eliminated.
