Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine, a conventional machine, a CR machine, and the like, in which the direction of play of a game ball passing through a gate provided on a play board surface is changed by first and second flow path changing portions. The present invention relates to an enriched ball guide for a game ball passing through a gate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional pachinko machine and a CR machine, when a game ball passes through a gate provided on both sides or one side of a center liquid crystal digital device, the number of a mini digital device that determines the opening and closing time of a start chucker fluctuates. Predetermined number,
For example, when stopping at 3, 7, the central start chucker below the center liquid crystal digital device is opened for a predetermined time,
When a game ball wins the chucker, numbers, pictures, etc. displayed on the center liquid crystal digital device fluctuate and stop, and when a big hit occurs, the lower attacker is opened for a predetermined time.

As shown in FIG. 9, a starting gate of this conventional mini digital device is provided with a circular guide hole 1 through which a game ball is passed by providing a base 102 with a U-shaped gate 102 in cross section.
In most cases, nails 104 are arranged in a chevron shape so that the ball flows obliquely to the left or right below the guide hole 103, Then, a large number of nails are arranged in a row in a row to guide the playing ball toward the central start chucker C, and the ball dropped from the gate is directed toward the start chucker, giving the chucker a chance to win. is there.

[0004]

In a conventional gate, a game ball passing through the gate is caused to flow toward, for example, a central start chucker. 9, the nails must be hit to the left or right of the center of the gate as shown in FIG. 9, so that the positioning of the nails must be performed each time, which is extremely troublesome and inconvenient. Also, the appearance is poor because only a mountain-shaped nail is disposed below the gate, and in the case of a mountain-shaped nail, the ball falling from the guide hole hits the nail and decelerates due to the impact. Because the ball is about to fall from the gap between the nails, as shown in the figure, a large number of nails are arranged in a row to guide the playing ball toward the central start chucker so that the balls roll along the nails. It is inconvenient to adjust the gauge of the interval between the nails, which is troublesome and troublesome in arranging the nails in a row and subsequently in a row. Moreover, as shown in the figure, if the nails are provided in the center of the game board in a diagonally adjacent row, there is no gap for the ball to fall, and even the ball hitting from the other side is received by this row of nails, and the lower prize The ball was difficult to turn around at the ball reception, and I was fascinated.

[0005] In the case where the left or right guide plate is integrally formed on the base, the left and right guide plates must be manufactured separately. It was inconvenient because it had to be reattached when it was mounted. In addition, since the left and right parts are molded at the same time during molding, depending on the game, there may be cases where the left or right side is attached to only one side of the play board's role towards the center chucker, in which case one side is attached Used only and the other was not used, resulting in a large amount of inventory, and the unused guide was inconvenient in that it would result in a large amount of garbage.
