Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine having a variable winning device, and more particularly to a pachinko game machine characterized by the arrangement of a winning opening provided with an opening / closing door.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a pachinko game machine, although a large amount of prize balls can be obtained by winning a prize hole or the like, an opening pattern or opening period of the prize hole or the like is fixed. Therefore, in consideration of the fact that the change is scarce and the game tends to be monotonous, the variable winning device is adopted in order to make the game change and secure the interest. Therefore, a Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-200144, which discloses a pachinko game machine equipped with such a variable winning device, will be briefly described. FIG. 4 is a front view showing a game board of a pachinko game machine. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the variable winning device.

A variable winning device 52 provided on a game board 51
The starting port 54 for starting the change of the converted display of the variable display device 53 arranged at the upper center is formed, and the rectangular large winning opening 55 is formed immediately below the starting port 54. The starting port 54 is provided with opening / closing blades 56a and 56b that change between a closed state in which the pachinko ball is not received in the winning port and an open state in which the pachinko ball is easily received and tilted to the left and right. In addition, passage openings 58a and 58b are formed on the left and right of the special winning opening 55 of the substrate 57, respectively.
Passage switches 59a and 59b for detecting a pachinko ball passing through a and 58b are installed. A decorative cover 60 having an oval central portion is attached to the passage openings 58a and 58b. At the center of the hollowed-out opening, a variable display 61, which is made of a matrix-type LED and on which a number is converted and displayed when a pachinko ball passes through the passage openings 58a and 58b, is arranged on the substrate 57.

FIG. 6 shows a state in which the opening / closing door 62 of the special winning opening 55 of the variable winning device 52 is opened. As shown in the figure, a recessed chamber is formed behind the large winning opening 55 with the opening / closing door 62 opened, and a continuous lower winning opening 6 is formed in the center in the recessed room.
3, and general winning openings 64a and 64b are provided on the left and right sides of the coin. The continuous winning opening 63 and the general winning openings 64a and 64b are respectively provided with a continuous winning switch and a general winning switch (not shown) for detecting a pachinko ball passing through each of the winning openings.

In a pachinko game machine equipped with such a variable winning device 52, when a pachinko ball passes through the passage openings 58a and 58b, the symbol conversion of the variable display 61 is started based on the pachinko ball, while the start opening 54 or Is the starting port 71a, 7
The symbol conversion of the variable display device 53 is started based on the winning of 1b. When the variable display 61 is in the "hit" state when the symbol at the time of stopping has reached a predetermined state, the opening / closing blade 56 of the starting opening 54 is
When a and 56b are opened for a short period of time and the variable display device 53 is a "big hit" when the symbol at the time of stop has achieved a specific state, a special game can be played. That is, the passage openings 58a and 58b
When the symbol of the variable display 61 becomes "hit" due to the passage of the pachinko ball, the opening / closing blades 56a, 56b of the starting opening 54 are opened to increase the prize, and the "big hit" is generated by the operation of the variable display device 53. Opportunities also increase. for that reason,
A pachinko ball passes through the passage openings 58a and 58b, so that a double game mode can be enjoyed.

Therefore, if a "big hit" occurs based on the symbol of the variable display device 53, the open / close door 6 of the variable winning device 52
2 is opened, and a lot of prize balls can be obtained by successively winning the pachinko balls into the special winning opening 55. Then, when the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number or a predetermined time elapses, one special game ends and the opening / closing door 62 is closed, but the pachinko ball entering the special winning opening 55 during this period is at the center. When the continuous winning opening 63 is won, the next special game can be continued. Then, if it is possible to continue, the next special game is played, and the opening / closing door 62 is opened again. In this way, the special game is repeated a specified number of times, but during this time, the passage opening 5
When the pachinko ball passes 8a and 58b, the variable display 61
Operates.

By the way, the pachinko game machine equipped with such a variable winning device has the starting opening 54 having the opening / closing blades 56a and 56b just above the opening / closing door 62 as described above, and as shown in FIG. A variable prize winning device with various configurations is also adopted. That is, the variable winning device 75 is provided with a door-type starting opening 77 directly below the big winning opening 76, and like the above-described conventional pachinko game machine, depending on a predetermined game state, a big winning. Opening / closing door 78 of opening 76 and starting opening 7
The open / close doors 79 of 7 respectively open and close. Note that the variable display is separately provided on the game board, and the operation of the pachinko game machine is the same, so description thereof will be omitted.

[0008]

However, in the conventional pachinko game machine having the above-described structure, in the case where the blade-shaped starting port 54 is provided on the opening / closing door 62 of the special winning opening 55, the opening / closing door 62 is used. When is opened, it spreads greatly to the left and right, which hinders the winning of a pachinko ball into the special winning opening 55, halving the interest of the player. Further, in the conventional pachinko game machine, when the opening / closing blades 56a, 56b of the starting opening 54 are opened, pachinko balls may enter indefinitely within the opening time. Since the time is long, it may not be possible to know how many pachinko balls will be won in one opening, and the number of prize balls may not be stable.

On the other hand, in the case where the starting opening 77 is arranged below so as not to prevent the winning in the big winning opening 76, if the opening / closing door 78 of the big winning opening 76 is opened, the winning in the starting opening 77 is won. This also makes it impossible for the players to have half the fun. Further, in such an arrangement, the nail 80 for guiding the pachinko ball to the starting opening 77 is provided on the special winning opening 76, so that the distance from the starting opening 77 becomes large and the pachinko ball becomes The inconvenience that it is difficult for the player to enter the starting opening 77 is caused, which also reduces the interest of the player in half.
