Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a warp member of a pachinko machine and a pachinko machine with a warp member capable of adjusting the probability of entering a ball entrance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as one of the warp mechanisms of a pachinko machine, for example, there is a warp mechanism described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-882227. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of such a warp mechanism.
It is shown in FIG. In the warp mechanism of FIG.
Is taken into the warp mechanism, the flow path changing means 118
14 is dropped from the guide port 111 directly to the upstream end of the first guide path 113, as shown by the arrow in FIG. In addition, while rolling on the first guide path 113, it is guided to a wide discharge path 116 formed at the center of the first guide path 113, and is provided below the discharge path 116. It flows down to the specific winning opening 105.

[0003] Here, the discharge path 116 formed in the first guide path 113 is formed to be wide as described above, and the pachinko ball 1 to be taken into the warp mechanism.
The pachinko ball 100 that rolls on the first guide path 113 due to the difference in momentum and rotation when the 00 enters the guide port 111.
Due to the different momentum of this pachinko ball 100,
As shown by an arrow in FIG. 14, the inside of the discharge path 116 has a flow-down path that varies in the width direction. And
When the momentum of the pachinko ball 100 is appropriate and the pachinko ball 100 enters the guiding groove 117 formed in the discharge path 116, the pachinko ball 100 is
17 drops directly above the specific winning opening 105,
It is almost certain that this specific winning opening 105 will be won,
The other pachinko balls 100 are caused to flow down to the side of the specific winning opening 105, and no winning is made. Therefore, the winning probability of the specific winning opening 105 of the pachinko ball 100 dropped into the first taxiway 113 is low.

[0004] The sorting dish 1 of the flow path changing means 118 is also provided.
When 21 is located at the second position, the pachinko ball 100 passed through the game ball effect sensor 112
Although not shown in detail, after being caught by the ball receiving portion of the sorting dish 121, it is sent to the guide portion through the through hole,
With this guide portion, it is dropped to the upstream end of the second guide path 114. The rotation of the sorting dish 121 is performed by a drive mechanism operated by a signal from the control means.

[0005] The pachinko ball 100 guided to the second guideway 114 in this manner is rolled toward the center on the second guideway 114 and formed on the second guideway 114. While being dropped into the narrow discharge path 115, the first guide path 113
Down to the guide groove 117. Since the discharge path 115 is formed to have a width substantially equal to that of the pachinko ball 100, the path of the pachinko ball 100 guided and flowed down by the discharge path 115 is substantially one system, and the guide groove 117 is provided. As described above, the pachinko ball 100 guided to the guide path 117 is suppressed in lateral swing, and is almost certainly made to win the specific winning opening 105. Therefore, most of the pachinko balls 100 guided to the second taxiway 114 are made to win the specific winning opening 105, and the winning probability is greatly increased.

As described above, in the warp mechanism described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-882227, the probability of winning the specific winning opening 105 can be easily changed depending on the position of the distribution plate 121 of the flow path changing means 118, and It can be changed without adjusting the nail. Further, the drive mechanism enables the winning probability to be changed even during the game, and the game conditions can be easily diversified.

[0007]

However, since the change of the winning probability of the specific winning opening 105 is optional depending on the position of the distribution plate 121 of the flow path changing means 118, the winning probability of the specific winning opening 105 is changed. It was difficult to freely adjust the pressure with a warp mechanism. The winning probability of the specific winning opening 105 can be adjusted with the life nail, but most of the pachinko balls 100 falling on the life nail come from the guiding groove 117 of the first guiding path 113. Considering, for example, that the life nail is in a position where the player cannot aim, even if it is attempted to adjust the winning probability of the specific winning opening 105 with the life nail, the flow path changing means 118
Can be adjusted only within the range of the winning probability determined by the position of the sorting plate 121.

[0008] That is, from the point of view of the gaming store, the winning probability of the specific winning opening 105 having a high game value is set to be high for the management strategy of the hall so as to be advantageous to the player, or to be disadvantageous to the player. It is set to be low, and the degree of freedom of the adjustment is to be widely ensured. However, the winning probability of the specific winning opening 105 is selectively substantially determined by the position of the distribution plate 121 of the flow path changing means 118, and the degree of freedom of the adjustment is extremely narrow. Was inconvenient for the amusement store in terms of management.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a warping mechanism of a pachinko machine in which a wide adjustment range is secured for the probability of entering a ball entry port having a high game value. The purpose is to provide.

[0010]

A warp member of a pachinko machine according to claim 1 which has been made to achieve this object,
It is characterized by comprising a plurality of passages for letting the pachinko balls enter the entrance with different probabilities, and a plurality of guide holes for guiding the pachinko balls to a specific one of the passages.

The warping member of the pachinko machine according to the second aspect is the warping member of the pachinko machine according to the first aspect, wherein the warping member is provided through an opening of each passage connected to the ball entrance. As the pachinko balls rolling on each passage fall toward the entrance, the probability of each passage that allows the pachinko balls to enter the entrance is determined by the size of the opening of each passage. It is characterized by being performed.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a warping member for a pachinko machine according to the second aspect, wherein the groove guides a pachinko ball rolling on the passage to the ball entrance. Is provided over the opening of each passage. Further, a pachinko machine with a warp member according to a fourth aspect includes the warp member according to the first to third aspects.

[0013] The warping member of the pachinko machine of the present invention having such a configuration is provided with a plurality of guide ports and a plurality of passages, and a pachinko ball entering a certain guide port is always guided on a specific passage. , And falls toward one entrance through the opening of the passage.

At this time, if the effect of the game nail hit on the game board is not taken into consideration, the probability of the pachinko ball falling toward the entrance to enter is determined by the path from which the pachinko ball falls through the opening of any passage. You can infer it. This is because the probability of each passage that allows the pachinko ball to enter the entrance is determined by the size of the opening of each passage. Further, as described above, a pachinko ball that has entered a certain guiding port is always guided on a specific passage, and through the opening of the passage,
Since the pachinko ball falls toward the entrance, the probability that the pachinko ball that has fallen toward the entrance will enter can be estimated based on which guide port the pachinko ball enters.

Therefore, the pachinko ball taken into the warp member of the pachinko machine of the present invention estimates the probability that the pachinko ball enters the ball entry port based on which guiding port the pachinko ball enters. it can. Furthermore, by taking into account all the probabilities of entering the guiding ports, it is possible to estimate the entry rate at which pachinko balls enter the entering port as an eigenvalue. And
Such a ball entry rate can be freely adjusted by adjusting a game nail with respect to the ball entrance itself or each guide port.

That is, the warp member of the pachinko machine according to the present invention is provided with an adjustment of the game nail to the ball entrance itself and each guide port with respect to the ball entry rate at which the pachinko ball enters the ball entrance having a high game value. The adjustment can be performed freely, and since there are a plurality of such adjustments with the game nail, a wide adjustment range can be secured.

[0017] Further, if a groove for guiding a pachinko ball rolling on each passage to the entrance is provided over the opening of each passage connected to the entrance, the game value is high. A relatively high entry rate of pachinko balls entering the entry port can be secured.

[0018]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, a warping mechanism of a pachinko machine according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 7, the warping mechanism of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment is used as a center accessory of the game board 1. FIG. 1 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the warp mechanism of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment.

The warping mechanism of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment provides three paths for allowing the pachinko balls to enter the entrance 13 with different probabilities on the stage 20, and the three paths provided on the stage 20. One of the five induction ports 10, 11, 1 for inducing pachinko balls in any one of

When the pachinko ball enters the entrance 13, the symbol display device 20 starts to fluctuate, and the fluctuation display stops when a certain time elapses or when the push button switch is depressed, and the display result is specified. When a combination of symbols is obtained, the movable winning device 3 (see FIG. 7) is opened based on the set opening pattern. That is, the entrance 13
Is a game with a high game value corresponding to the winning prize port of a pachinko machine, so the probability of entering the ball is set high in favor of the player in the management strategy of the hall, or disadvantageous to the player. It is set as low as above, and the degree of freedom of the adjustment is widely ensured.

Here, three passages provided in the stage 20 will be described with reference to FIGS.
On the stage 20, a first partition plate 24, a second partition plate 25,
By the third partition plate 26, the first passage 21, the second passage 22,
Three passages of the third passage 23 are provided. At the center of each of the first partition plate 24, the second partition plate 25, and the third partition plate 26, an opening 24A of the first passage and an opening 25 of the second passage are provided.

The opening 24A of the first passage, the opening 25A of the second passage, and the opening 26A of the third passage through which the pachinko ball falls toward the entrance 13 (see FIG. 1) are connected to the stage 20.
Are symmetrical with respect to the line C-C which is the center of the line, and are increased in the order of description. The line CC, which is the center of the stage 20, also passes through the center of the entrance 13 (see FIG. 1). Therefore, the three passages of the first passage 21, the second passage 22, and the third passage 23 allow the pachinko balls to enter the entrance 13 (see FIG. 1) with different probabilities. The probability becomes smaller in the order described.

First passage 21, second passage 22, third passage 2
In order for the pachinko balls to roll into the three paths (3), the pachinko balls must enter the specific guiding ports. In order for the pachinko balls to roll into the first passage 21, the pachinko balls must enter the first guide port 10 (see FIG. 1). In order for the pachinko balls to roll into the second passage 22, the pachinko balls must enter the pair of second guiding ports 12. In order for the pachinko balls to roll into the third passage 23, the pachinko balls must enter the pair of third guiding ports 11.

Next, the mechanism by which the guide ports 10, 11, and 12 guide pachinko balls into specific passages will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the warping mechanism of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, taken along line AA in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the pachinko ball 52 that has entered the second guiding port 12 is passed through the second guiding path 28 on the back side of the game board 1 (see FIG. 7).
Guided on 2. The pachinko ball 52 that has entered the second guiding port 12 on the right side is guided from the right side onto the second path 22 by the second guiding path 28 on the back side of the game board 1 (see FIG. 7). Similarly, the pachinko ball 52 that has entered the second guiding port 12 on the left side is guided from the left side onto the second path 22 by the second guiding path 28 on the back side of the game board 1 (see FIG. 7). .

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the warping mechanism of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, taken along line BB in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the pachinko ball 50 that has entered the first guiding port 10 is guided onto the second passage 22 by the first guiding path 27 on the back side of the game board 1 (see FIG. 7). Also,
The pachinko ball 51 that has entered the third guiding port 11 is
It is guided on the third passage 22 by a third guide path 29 located on the back side of (see FIG. 7). The pachinko ball 51 that has entered the third guiding port 11 on the right side is guided from the right side onto the third path 22 by the third guiding path 29 on the back side of the game board 1 (see FIG. 7). Similarly, the pachinko ball 51 that has entered the third guiding port 11 on the left side is guided from the left side onto the third path 22 by the third guiding path 29 on the back side of the game board 1 (see FIG. 7). .

Next, a warping mechanism of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Groove 3
Except that 0 is provided, it is the same as the warping mechanism of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment. That is, the first passage opening 24A, the second passage opening 25A, and the third passage opening 26A, which are continuously provided toward the entrance 13 (see FIG. 1), are connected to each other. A groove 30 is provided for guiding a pachinko ball rolling on each of the first passage 21, the second passage 22, and the third passage 23 to the entrance 13 (see FIG. 1).

The groove 30 is formed in the opening 24A of the first passage.
From the first passage 21, the second passage 22, and the third passage 23.
The difference between the probabilities that the pachinko balls can enter the entrance 13 (see FIG. 1) of each of the two paths is further increased. This is because the pachinko ball 54 rolling on the first passage 21 is easily captured by the wide groove 30 and the falling direction of S is stabilized by the opening 24A of the narrow first passage. In this manner, it is possible to reliably drop the ball toward the entrance 13 (see FIG. 1). On the other hand, a pachinko ball rolling on the third passage 23 is difficult to catch by the narrow groove 30 and the falling direction is unstable at the opening 26A of the wide third passage. Ball mouth 1
3 (see FIG. 1) cannot be reliably dropped.

Next, a warping mechanism of a pachinko machine according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. First partition plate 44, second partition plate 4 provided on stage 40
5. Except for the shape of the third partition plate 46, it is the same as the warping mechanism of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment. That is, the stage 40 is provided with three passages of the first passage 41, the second passage 42, and the third passage 43 by the first partition plate 44, the second partition plate 45, and the third partition plate 46. At the center of each of the first partition plate 44, the second partition plate 45, and the third partition plate 46,
The opening portion 44A of the first passage, the opening portion 45A of the second passage, and the opening portion 46A of the third passage are formed so that the lower entrance opening 13 (FIG.
See).

The stage 40 is inclined with its front side down. For example, the pachinko ball 60 rolling on the first passage 41 has an opening 44A of the first passage, an opening 45A of the second passage, It falls toward the entrance 13 (see FIG. 1) like the pachinko ball 61 through the opening 46A of the third passage. The pachinko ball rolling on the second passage 42 has an opening 45A of the second passage and an opening 46A of the third passage.
Through the entrance 13 (FIG. 1) like a pachinko ball 61.
See). Also, the third passage 43
The pachinko ball rolling up falls like the pachinko ball 61 toward the entrance 13 (see FIG. 1) via the opening 46A of the third passage.

The opening 44A of the first passage, the opening 45A of the second passage, and the opening 46A of the third passage through which the pachinko ball falls toward the entrance 13 (see FIG. 1) are connected to the stage 40.
Are symmetrical with respect to the line EE which is the center of the circle, and are larger in the order of description. The line EE, which is the center of the stage 40, also passes through the center of the entrance 13 (see FIG. 1). Therefore, the three passages of the first passage 41, the second passage 42, and the third passage 43 allow pachinko balls to enter the entrance 13 (see FIG. 1) with different probabilities. The probability becomes smaller in the order described.

Then, compared with the first partition plate 24, the second partition plate 25, and the third partition plate 26 of the warping mechanism of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, the first partition plate 44, the second partition plate 45, 3
The shape of the partition plate 46 is curved downward, and the opening 44A of the first passage, the opening 45A of the second passage, the third
Pachinko balls that roll around each of the passage openings 46A are easy to see for the player.

As described in detail above, the warp mechanism of the pachinko machine according to the first and second embodiments has
One guide port (a first guide port 10, a pair of second guide ports 11,
A pair of third guide ports 12) and three passages (first passage 21,
The second passage 22 and the third passage 23) are provided, and a pachinko ball that has entered a certain guide port (a first guide port 10, a pair of second guide ports 11, a pair of third guide ports 12) is always identified. (The first passage 21, the second passage 22, the third passage 23), and the opening of the passage (the opening 24A of the first passage,
It falls toward one entrance 13 through the opening 25A of the second passage and the opening 26A) of the third passage.

At this time, if the effect of the game nail hit on the game board 1 is not taken into consideration, the probability of the pachinko ball falling toward the entrance 13 to enter the ball is determined by the probability of the pachinko ball being opened in the first passage. It can be inferred from which of the passage 24A, the opening 25A of the second passage, and the opening 26A of the third passage, which one of the openings has dropped. This is because the first passage that allows the pachinko ball to enter the ball entrance 13 with the size of the opening of each passage of the opening 24A of the first passage, the opening 25A of the second passage, and the opening 26A of the third passage. This is because the probabilities of the respective passages 21, 21, and 23 are determined. Furthermore, as described above, the pachinko balls that have entered a certain guide port (the first guide port 10, the pair of second guide ports 11, and the pair of third guide ports 12) must be in a specific path (the first path 21, the first path 21). (The second passage 22 and the third passage 23), and enters through the openings of the passages (the opening 24A of the first passage, the opening 25A of the second passage, and the opening 26A of the third passage). Since the ball falls toward the ball opening 13, the probability that the pachinko ball falling toward the entrance 13 enters the ball depends on which guiding port the pachinko ball (the first guiding port 10, the pair of second guiding ports 11, A pair of third guide ports 1
It can be inferred whether the ball has entered 2).

Therefore, the pachinko balls taken into the warp mechanism of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment and the second embodiment are provided with any one of the guiding ports (the first guiding port 10 and the pair of the second guiding ports). The probability that the pachinko ball will enter the entrance 13 can be estimated based on whether the ball has entered the opening 11 and the pair of third guiding openings 12). Furthermore, considering all the probabilities of entering the ball into each of the guide ports (the first guide port 10, the pair of second guide ports 11, and the pair of third guide ports 12), the pachinko ball enters the ball entry port 13. It can be inferred as the eigenvalue of the entering ball rate. The ball entry rate can be freely adjusted by adjusting the game nail with respect to the ball entrance 13 itself and each of the guide ports (the first guide port 10, the pair of second guide ports 11, and the pair of third guide ports 12). Is done. The same applies to the warping mechanism of the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment.

That is, the warping mechanism of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment is configured such that the entrance rate of the pachinko balls entering the entrance port 13 having a high game value is increased by the entrance port 13 itself or each guide port (first port). The adjustment of the game nail with respect to the guide port 10, the pair of second guide ports 11, and the pair of third guide ports 12) can be adjusted freely, and since there are six such game nail adjustments, A wide adjustment range can be secured.

Further, the warping mechanism of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment has an opening 24A of the first passage, an opening 25A of the second passage, and an opening of the third passage which are provided continuously toward the entrance 13. Across the opening of each passage of the portion 26A, the first passage 21,
Since the groove 30 for guiding the pachinko balls rolling on each of the second passage 22 and the third passage 23 to the entrance 13 is provided, the pachinko balls enter the entrance 13 having a high game value. The entry rate can be secured at a relatively large value.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the warping mechanism of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, the pachinko balls are inserted into the entrance 1 with different probabilities.
The total number of passages that enter the ball into 3 is three, and the total number of induction ports for guiding pachinko balls to any one of those passages is five, but the pachinko ball that enters the induction port must be a specific one. The combination of their total number is not limited to this, provided that they are guided on the passage.

[0039]

According to the warping mechanism of the pachinko machine of the present invention, with respect to the ball entry rate at which the pachinko balls enter the ball entry port having a high game value, the game nail is adjusted with respect to the ball entry port itself and each guide port. The adjustment can be performed freely, and since there are a plurality of such adjustments with the game nail, a wide adjustment range can be secured.

If a groove is provided for guiding a pachinko ball rolling on each passage to the entrance through the opening of each passage connected to the entrance, the game value is high. A relatively high entry rate of pachinko balls entering the entry port can be secured.
