BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an aroma generating device for a game machine and is used for pachinko, pachislot, video games and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional aroma generating device for an amusement machine of this type is one which generates an aroma when a prize is won in the game (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-171246).

[0003]

However, in such a conventional aroma generating device for amusement apparatus, since the aroma is generated only when a prize is won, there is a disadvantage that the aroma is not generated at all unless a prize is won. Have, in addition,
Since there was only one type of fragrance, there was the inconvenience that it was difficult to give the player a variety of olfactory pleasures.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate these disadvantages.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the aroma generating device for a play device according to the present invention, the aroma type is changed from a plurality of aroma types according to the playing situation. Since it is provided with a means for generating, it is possible to give a player a variety of olfactory pleasures.

[0006] It should be noted that if a means for spacing a predetermined time is provided when one fragrance is generated after another fragrance is generated, it is possible to prevent different fragrances from being mixed, and always provide the optimum fragrance. You can do it.

Further, if there is a winning signal, if a means for preferentially generating an aroma corresponding to the winning signal is provided, it is possible to surely give the player an olfactory pleasure corresponding to the winning signal when winning. Come on.

Further, in the aroma generating device for a game device according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the aroma material storage case has an aroma material storage case insertion hole into which the aroma material storage case is inserted. When partitioning into a plurality of fragrance chambers and arranging these fragrance chambers in parallel, providing an opening surface on the side surface of these fragrance chambers, and inserting the fragrance material storage case into the fragrance material storage case fitting hole If an opening cutter is provided on the inner wall surface of the fragrance material storage case insertion hole so as to face the opening surface of the fragrance chamber, a plurality of fragrance chambers in the fragrance material storage case can be opened with one touch. Installation and opening work can be done easily.

Further, if a means for generating an aroma by manual operation is provided, the aroma can be appropriately generated by the intention of the player or the game provider, so that the range of use of the aroma generating device is expanded.

When the time has passed, the "tranquilizing scent" operates and emits the scent until T2 time elapses. In addition, when the winning signal is turned on during the operation of "mental fragrance", the operation is turned off, and after the lapse of T4 time, the operation returns to the original and the operation of "enhancement incense" is started.

(4) If the time T1 has not elapsed from the start of ball striking, the smell of tobacco is detected. When a cigarette odor is detected, the "deodorant scent" operates and emits the scent until T3 time elapses. In addition, when the winning signal is turned on during the operation of "deodorizing incense", the operation is turned off, and after the lapse of T4 time, the operation returns to the original and the operation of "enhancement incense" is started.

(5) When the smell of cigarette is not detected, it is returned to the original and it is judged whether it is manual or automatic.

(6) On the other hand, when manual is selected in the manual or automatic judgment, two or more "mental uplifting", "mental stabilizing incense" or "deodorizing incense" operations are performed at the same time. ON
It is determined whether or not it is. When it is determined that the switch is not turned on, SW is determined. "Mental spirit incense" S
If you select W, the action of "Mental spirit incense" is activated and T5
It emits the scent until time passes. Then, the operation is O
After the lapse of T4 time from FF, it is returned to the original and it is judged whether it is manual or automatic.

(7). When the SW of "mental scent" is selected, the operation of "mental scent" is activated and the scent is emitted until T5 time elapses. Then, after a lapse of T4 time from the turning off of the operation, it is returned to the original and it is determined whether the operation is manual or automatic.

(8). When the SW of "deodorant scent" is selected,
The operation of "deodorant scent" is activated to emit the scent until T5 time elapses. Then, after a lapse of T4 time from the turning off of the operation, it is returned to the original and it is determined whether the operation is manual or automatic.

(9). Two or more "mental uplifting", "mental stabilizing" or "deodorant" operations are turned on at the same time.
When it is determined to be ON in the determination as to whether or not it is performed, it is determined whether the operation is manual or automatic.
