Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is a pachinko game machine or an electric accessory device for a coin game machine, that is, a plurality of symbols are extracted on the surface, and a drum rotating by computer control has a specific symbol. When you stop at the array,
The present invention relates to a rotary electric accessory device for a game machine, which pays out a game ball or coin as a win.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional drum type, for example,
As a rotating electric accessory device for a pachinko gaming machine, three drums having a plurality of symbols extracted on the surface are arranged in a row in a row, and each drum is rotationally controlled by a different motor, and these three drums are When the symbols were in a specific arrangement, it was judged as a big hit and the winning opening was opened for a certain period of time and a certain number of times.

[0003]

By the way, in the rotary electric accessory device for a game machine in the above-mentioned drum type pachinko machine, the symbols of three drums are five rows of three rows and two diagonal rows. Since it could only display, the number of hits per display was small and simple and lacking in fun.

Further, when the first stopped drum is stopped due to the disengagement pattern, the disengagement is determined at that time, and a wasteful time is spent until the second-row and third-row drums are stopped. Furthermore, the rotation direction of the drums is that the three drums all rotate in the same direction from the top to the bottom, which tends to be overwhelmed by the player.

Further, since the drums are arranged in a horizontal row, when the number of drums is increased (for example, 4 rows), the horizontal width of each drum must be reduced due to the restriction of the horizontal width of the board, and the design is reduced. There was also a problem that it became smaller and difficult for the player to see.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to arrange at least four drums on the left and right sides and on the upper and lower sides, and to display the hit display in various directions such as horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a rotary electric accessory device for a gaming machine, which can be performed, and therefore can give the player a double of fun by the novelty of the gaming machine and the large number of hit displays. .

[0007]

A rotary electric accessory device for a gaming machine according to the present invention is intended to achieve the above-mentioned object.
The means includes at least four motors mounted on the left and right or upper and lower wall surfaces of the case, and a drum having a plurality of symbols extracted on the surface mounted on each rotation shaft of the motor. is there.

A mounting plate mounted to the case so as to be located between the openings of the drum facing each other, and a support plate integrally formed with the mounting plate and facing the inside of the drum. A lighting device comprising an illuminating lamp mounted on the supporting plate, or a supporting plate fixed to a mounting bracket on which the motor is mounted and facing the drum, and an illuminating lamp mounted on the supporting plate. It is desirable to have a luminaire consisting of

Further, a mounting member fixed to the case,
At least four motors mounted on both sides of the mounting bracket, and a drum having a plurality of symbols extracted on the surface mounted on each rotation shaft of the motor, and It is desirable to provide a lighting fixture including a mounting plate mounted on the left and right or upper and lower wall surfaces, a supporting plate integrally formed with the mounting plate and facing the inside of the drum, and an illumination lamp mounted on the supporting plate.

[0010]

In the rotary electric accessory device for a gaming machine of the present invention constructed as described above, since the four drums are individually controlled to rotate by at least four motors mounted on the case,
The hits can be arranged in various arrangements such as right and left, upper and lower, and diagonal, so that the number of hits can be increased.

Further, since the illuminating lamps are arranged in the opposing drums and the opposing drums are internally illuminated at the same time, it is possible to raise the design and reduce the number of illuminating lamps to reduce the cost. You can measure.

Further, since each of the drums is independently illuminated from the inside by the respective separate illumination lamps arranged in each drum, it is possible to make the symbols stand out and reach (there is a possibility that the winning symbols are aligned). It is possible to control the flashing when the drum is placed) or when it hits.

A total of six drums 6 arranged in three rows and three rows in the horizontal direction are arranged, while three drums in three rows and two rows in the horizontal direction are arranged, and the internal structure is the same as that of the previous embodiment. . In the embodiment thus constructed, since six drums 6 are used, the hit display can be made larger than that of the four drums.

FIG. 21 shows an eleventh embodiment in which the upper and lower parts are
A total of nine drums arranged in columns and three rows in the lateral direction are arranged. In this embodiment, more hits can be displayed than in the eighth embodiment, and the game can be enjoyed more. is there.

[0039]

As described above, the present invention controls the rotation of at least four drums arranged on the left, right, up and down by separate motors, and displays the hit at the position of the symbol at the stop position. Since at least two drums can be selected from four drums as a hit, the player is provided with more fun and a hit display is provided as compared with the conventional one in which all the drums are hit drums. You can do a lot.

Further, since the illuminating lamps are arranged in the opposing drums and the opposing drums are internally illuminated at the same time, it is possible to raise the design and reduce the number of illuminating lamps to reduce the cost. It can be achieved.

Furthermore, since each of the drums is independently illuminated from the inside by the respective separate illumination lamps arranged in each drum, the symbols can be raised and the reach (there is a possibility that the winning symbols are aligned). It is possible to control the blinking when the drum is arranged) or when it hits, and thus to diversify the lighting.

Further, for example, when the same symbol combination of any three drums out of the four drums is a big hit, even if the first stopped drum is a detached symbol,
If the remaining hit patterns are complete, it will be a big hit state, and you can enjoy stopping the drum until the end.

Further, by rotating the upper and lower two drums from the upper side to the lower side, and rotating the lower two drums from the lower side to the upper side, the rotation operation such that the design is sucked into the accessory is performed. In addition, by rotating the drum in the opposite direction to the one described above, it is possible to express a rotating operation that spreads outward, and by configuring the drum vertically and horizontally, individual symbols on the drum can be drawn large. It has the effect of being able to do so.
