DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game island in which a plurality of gaming machines are arranged in a row, and more particularly to a device for supplying game balls to be supplied to each game device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a gaming island stand in which a plurality of gaming machines are arranged in a row, there is a pachinko island stand 01 in which pachinko machines as gaming machines are arranged in a row as shown in FIG. 20, for example. Briefly describing the circulation path of the pachinko balls in the pachinko island stand 01, the pachinko balls are distributed to each pachinko machine 022 and the pachinko ball rental machine 03 interposed therebetween in the upper part of the pachinko island stand 01. Gutters 094 are provided for the pachinko balls, and the pachinko balls are supplied to the respective pachinko machines 02 and the inter-ball game machine through the supply ports 033 for gaming machines and the supply ports for ball lending machines 034 formed in the supply gutters 094. It is distributed to 03 mag. In addition, 014 indicates an upper plate, 015 indicates a lower plate, and 016 indicates a handle.

[0003] At the lower end of one end of the pachinko island stand 01, a lifting device 024 communicating with a lower slope of a collecting gutter 095 for collecting pachinko balls discharged from each pachinko machine 02 is provided. At the upper part of the lifting device 024, a lifting gutter 022 having an upper end communicating with the supply gutter 094 is provided upright. The pachinko balls discharged from the pachinko machine 02 in this way are collected by the collecting device 024 by the lifting device 024, and then driven by the driving device 024 to be pumped through the discharging gutter 022 and returned to the supply gutter 094. It is supposed to be.

[0004]

However, in such a gaming island stand, the pachinko machine supply port 03 is provided.
3. Each of the pachinko machines 0 via the ball rental machine supply port 034.
In order to smoothly supply pachinko balls to the machine 2 or to the inter-table ball rental machine 03, etc., it is necessary to secure a sufficient rectifying space near each supply port. There is a problem that the number of supply ports that can be arranged is limited.

When a plurality of supply ports are required for one pachinko machine, a plurality of supply ports must be extended in the left-right direction so that a supply pipe extending from each supply port must be longer. Since it could not reach, there was a risk that maintenance in the pachinko island stand would be complicated.

Further, when a large amount of pachinko balls flow down from a large number of supply ports formed in one supply gutter, there is a possibility that the flow of the balls to a predetermined supply port becomes insufficient.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and a plurality of appropriate gaming devices arranged in a game island stand are supplied from supply gutters through respective supply ports. It aims to provide a gaming island that can reliably supply pachinko balls.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a gaming table in which a plurality of gaming machines and gaming machines including the gaming machines are arranged. Within the gaming island stand, a supply gutter for supplying gaming balls to each gaming machine, a collecting gutter for collecting gaming balls discharged from each of the gaming machines, and a lifting gutter for lifting the collected gaming balls. And a supply device, wherein the supply gutter is provided in at least two levels in a hierarchy, and a supply port connected to the gaming device is arranged to be distributed to the plurality of supply gutters. I have. According to this feature, the supply gutter is provided with a large number of supply ports communicating with each gaming device (for example, a gaming machine, a ball lending machine, a payout device, etc.) as necessary, and sufficient balls for many gaming devices. Can be supplied. In addition, since a plurality of supply ports can be provided at the same position in the left-right direction, a sufficient rectification space in the vicinity of each supply port can be sufficiently provided in the left-right direction, and the game balls can be smoothly mounted on each game device. Can be supplied. Note that the expression “hierarchical plural” does not only mean overlapping at a distance in the up-down direction, but also does not overlap vertically but crosses vertically or crosswise when viewed from the front. Also include those constituting another flow layer. However, it is clear that a large number of balls can be held in a plurality of layers of supply gutters by overlapping the supply gutters at a distance in the vertical direction.

In the gaming table according to the present invention, it is preferable that a supply port communicating with the gaming machine is provided in a lowermost supply gutter of the plurality of supply gutters. In this way, the game balls supplied from the lifting device are usually stored from the lowermost supply gutter, and since a large number of game balls are present here, more game balls are required. It can be supplied preferentially to gaming machines.

[0010] A gaming table according to the present invention comprises a ball counting device corresponding to each of the gaming machines and a payout device for paying out game balls to a player based on the number of balls counted by the ball counting device. It is preferable that a supply port communicating with the dispensing device is provided at least in a supply gutter above the lowermost supply gutter. In this way, since the game balls are supplied from the upper supply gutter to the game device having a relatively small supply amount, a large amount of the balls are discharged from the upper supply gutter to the lower supply gutter. The problem that the balls do not spread is solved, and defective supply of the balls can be prevented.
