DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game ball which is provided with a corner decoration outside a game area surrounded by an outer rail and an inner rail provided on the surface of a game board and flies along the inner periphery of the outer rail. The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine in which a ball stop that guides toward the center of a game area upon collision is movably provided in a corner decoration, and a light source for electric decoration is mounted in the corner decoration.

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, when a pachinko ball wins a winning opening, the design and figures of a variable display are changed, and when the display at the time of stopping is a specific combination, the pachinko ball is inserted into a V winning opening of a winning device. Wins a "big hit" right, and furthermore, on the condition that the pachinko ball wins the rotating chucker, a large winning opening is opened for a predetermined time or until a predetermined number of pachinko balls win, and a predetermined cycle is performed for the game. Pachinko gaming machines, which are so-called right items, which give great profits to players, are gaining popularity. In the pachinko gaming machine, the special winning opening is almost mounted on the right side of the game board, and when the right of "big hit" is generated, the player strongly pushes the game ball to win the special winning opening. It is fired and concentrated on the right side of the game board, that is, right-handed.

In the pachinko gaming machine, an outer rail and an inner rail are provided on the surface of a game board, and a corner decoration is provided outside a game area surrounded by the outer rail and the inner rail. A ball stopper made of rubber or soft synthetic resin is provided at a position facing the end of the rail. The ball stopper collides a game ball flying along the inner periphery of the outer rail and guides the ball toward the center of the game area.

[0004]

However, since the ball stopper is fixedly provided with respect to the corner decoration, if the game ball vigorously collides with the ball stopper when right-handed, the ball will lose its momentum. The ball was bounced back without being relaxed, and the right-handed game ball returned to the opposite side or hit the obstacle nail planted in the game area. For this reason, in the former, the chance of winning the game ball to the big winning opening is reduced, which causes a decrease in the interest of the game, and in the latter, the obstacle nail is broken or bent by repeatedly hitting the game ball with the obstacle nail repeatedly. There was an issue.

In view of the above, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem. In the present invention, when the game ball hitting the ball stop is relaxed and the ball is hit right, almost all the ball flows down the right side of the game board surface. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko gaming machine that can cause a certain variation in the direction of rebound and can prevent breakage of an injury nail.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention is provided with an outer rail and an inner rail on the surface of a game board and a game area surrounded by the outer rail and the inner rail. A corner decoration is provided on the outside, a ball stop that collides with a game ball flying along the inner periphery of the outer rail and guides toward the center of the game area is movably provided on the corner decoration,
In addition, a lamp for illumination is mounted in the corner decoration.

By providing the ball stopper movably with respect to the corner decoration as described above, the impact when the game ball collides with the ball stopper is effectively absorbed and alleviated, and the momentum of the game ball when rebounding to the game area is provided. In addition, the game ball when right-handed flows down almost on the right side of the game board surface, and a certain degree of variation is given to the direction of the bouncing, so that the accidental breakage of the obstacle nail is reliably prevented.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine, which is a so-called right, and includes a side frame 1 and a frame-shaped front frame 2 provided on the front surface of the side frame 1 so as to be openable and closable. A glass door frame 3 and a front decoration plate 4 are provided at the window of the front frame 2 so as to be openable and closable about one side as an axis. A game board 5 is arranged behind the glass door frame 3, and a hit ball supply tray 6 is attached to the front of the front decoration board 4. Also, front frame 2
In the lower part of the figure, a surplus ball storage tray 7 for storing the surplus balls of the hit ball supply tray 6 and an operation handle 8 for operating when the game ball of the hit ball supply tray 6 is fired are provided.

The pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, which is a so-called right thing, fluctuates and stops the symbol display device based on the winning of the game ball into the starting winning opening, and the display result is a predetermined display result. , The special prize device changes to a state in which the game ball can be easily received, and when the game ball accepted in the easy state passes through the special area of the special prize device, the special device is activated to generate a right. In a gaming state, a game ball wins the third type starting port during the right-generating gaming state, and the variable winning device is set to a predetermined time (for example,
10 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, 10)
This operation is performed for a predetermined cycle (for example, 16 times) until the winning ball is generated to give a great benefit to the player. In such a pachinko gaming machine, during the right generation gaming state, a game ball wins to the starting winning opening, the symbol display device again gives a predetermined display result, and the special winning device is opened, When the game ball passes through the special area, the right generation game state ends even before the variable winning device repeats the maximum permitted number of releases. Therefore, during the right-generating gaming state, a right-handed shot is made to the third-type starting port provided on the right side of the game board so that the game ball does not win as much as possible to the starting winning port on the symbol display device.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the game board 5. An outer rail 9 and an inner rail 10 for guiding a shot game ball are laid on the surface of the game board 5, and a region surrounded by the outer rail 9 and the inner rail 10 constitutes a game area 11. doing. In the game area 11, a variable display 12 as a symbol display device is provided substantially at the center thereof, and a pass chucker 13 as a starting winning opening for operating the symbol display device below the variable display 12 is provided. A winning device 15 as a special winning device having a pair of opening / closing wing pieces 14, 14 is provided. On the right side of the game area 11, a rotary chuck 16 as a third type starting port and a special winning opening 17 are provided vertically. Further, a large number of obstacle nails 18 and windmills 19 are provided in the game area 11 so as to widely change or obstruct the path of the game ball. 20 is the game area 11
Is an out hole provided at the bottom of the.

The outer rail 9 is disposed smoothly in an arc shape from the tip of the firing rail. A game ball hit from the firing position is guided by the outer rail 9 and guided to the game area 11. It flows down. Further, the inner rail 10 is located inside the outer rail 9 and receives a game ball that has flowed down the game area 11 without winning a prize and passes it to the out hole 2.
Lead to zero.

Therefore, when the game ball hit into the game area 11 passes through the passage chucker 13, the digital value of the variable display 12 fluctuates, and after a certain time elapses, the fluctuation is stopped. Then, when the display at the time of the stop is aligned with a preset display (for example, “7, 7, 7” or the like), the pair of opening / closing wing pieces 14 of the winning device 15 are moved for a predetermined time (for example, 5 Seconds) open, and the game ball is in a state where it is easy to win. During this time, when the game ball enters the prize winning device 15 and further wins in a V winning opening (not shown) as a special area therein, the special device (not shown) is activated to generate a "big hit" right. .

When the right is generated, the player strikes right to concentrate the game balls on the right side of the game board 5. As a result, the game ball entering the rotary chuck 16 is carried downward, and the game ball is detected by the winning ball detector (not shown), and at the same time, the opening / closing door 21 of the special winning opening 17 is tilted forward. . Then, the operation of tilting the opening / closing door 21 every time a game ball enters the rotary chuck 16 is continued for a predetermined cycle, so that a great benefit is brought to the player.

On the surface of the game board 5 located outside the game area 11, the outer rail 9 and the inner rail 10
Corner decoration 2 made of colored and transparent synthetic resin along the outer circumference of
2 are provided. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the corner decoration 22 is formed in a substantially gate-shaped front surface having a concave surface on the lower surface, and a main body base 23 and a lens member of different colors mounted on the front surface of the main body base 23. 24.

The main body base 23 is formed to have a U-shaped cross section with an open back surface, and is provided with an arc-shaped concave portion 25 into which a lens member 24 is fitted along a lower edge of the front surface. A plurality of through-holes 26 are formed on the bottom surface of the through-hole 26 at appropriate intervals and face a lamp 31 as a light-emitting source described later. In addition, an opening 27 which is relatively larger than the through hole 26 is opened at one end of the concave portion 25, and the opening 27 is formed in the opening 27.
Is integrally provided with a partition wall 28 for dividing the left and right sides. The outer side surface 28a of the partition wall 28 is formed in a mirror surface, and serves as a reflecting mirror of a lamp (not shown) mounted on the game board 5 in opposition to the mirror surface.

On the back side of the main body base 23, a pair of left and right wiring boards 29a, 29
9b is arranged by screw 30 stop. Each wiring board 29
Lamps 31 are mounted on the front surfaces of a and 29b so as to correspond to the respective through holes 26. The lamps 31 of both wiring boards 29a and 29b are connected by lead wires 32. A connector 33 for lamp wiring is provided on the back surface of one wiring board 29b.

A ball stopper 34 is provided at a position corresponding to the end of the outer rail 9 of the corner decoration 22. When a ball hitting along the inner periphery of the outer rail 9 collides with the ball stop 34, the ball stopper 34 bounces off the ball and returns to the game area 1
1 and is formed of an elastic body such as rubber or soft synthetic resin. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a through hole 35 is opened at the top of the ball stopper 34, and the through hole 35 is fitted to a projection 36 protruding from the back side of the corner decoration 22, and the screw 37 is fixed. Thereby, the ball stopper 34 is rotatably mounted on the corner decoration 22.
In addition, as shown in FIG.
A frame 39 for regulating the rotation range of the notch 38 facing the 4 and the ball stopper 34 is formed.

On the back surface of the lens member 24, a plurality of screw insertion holes 4
A screw hole 41 is provided in correspondence with 0. After the lens member 24 is fitted in the concave recess 25, the screw 42 is screwed into each screw hole 41 through each screw insertion hole 40 from the back side of the main body base 23. You. Corner decoration 2 assembled in this way
2 is mounted on the surface of the game board 5 by fitting a locking piece 43 protruding from the back side of the main body base 23 into a mounting hole 44 on the surface of the game board 5.

The pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and when a game ball guided and guided by the outer rail 9 collides with the ball stopper 34, the ball stopper 34 projects as shown by a chain line in FIG. It rotates around 36. For this reason, even if the game ball collides strongly with the ball stopper 34, the momentum is killed, and the momentum of the game ball that rebounds to the game area 11 is significantly reduced. Therefore, the chance that the game ball when right-handed almost flows down the right side of the game board 5 and enters the special winning opening 17 increases, and even if the game ball that rebounds to the game area 11 hits the obstacle nail 18. The obstruction nail 18 does not bend or break. In addition, ball stop 3
Since the rotation of 4 causes some variation in the direction in which the game ball rebounds, the game ball that collides with ball stop 34 and rebounds in game area 11 has the same obstacle nail 18.
In such a case, there is no situation that would promote a breakage accident.

Further, when the right of a big hit is generated, if each lamp 31 provided in the corner decoration 22 is made to blink together with a sound effect, the illuminating effect further enhances the interest of the game, and, for example, the left side of the left side. By blinking continuously from right to left in order, it is possible to inform the player that the player should right-hand, which leads to a part of the service to the player.

[0021]

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention provides a ball stop which guides the game ball flying along the inner periphery of the outer rail toward the center of the game area by the outer rail and the inner rail. The corners provided along the outer periphery are movably provided to effectively absorb and mitigate the impact when the game ball collides with the ball stop, so the momentum of the game ball rebounding to the game area If you hit the right during the jackpot right, the game ball will almost always flow down the right side of the game board surface, and there will be more chances to win the big winning opening, reducing the interest of the game There is no. Further, it is possible to reliably eliminate a situation in which the game ball hits the obstacle nail and the obstacle nail is bent or broken.

In addition, since the luminous body is incorporated in the corner decoration, for example, when a big hit is decided, the luminous body is turned on to inform the player that the game is more interesting and right-handed by the illuminating effect. Since it can do so, it has an extremely beneficial effect on pachinko gaming machines of this type of right type, such as being connected to a part of the service to the player.
