DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a variable prize-winning device, which is set to a right-generating game state based on a hit of a hit ball to a right-generating prize device. The door plate is driven to be opened for a predetermined period of time, and during the right-generating game state, the right-generating game is performed based on the fact that a predetermined number of hit balls has won the starting winning opening or the hit ball has won again on the right-generating winning device. The present invention relates to a pachinko machine configured to be extinguished.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a right generating game state is established based on the winning of a hit ball to a right generating winning apparatus, and a door plate of a variable winning apparatus is set every time a hit ball wins a starting winning opening during the right generating game state. During the right generation game state, the right generation game state disappears based on the fact that a predetermined number of hit balls have won the starting winning opening or the hit ball has won again on the right generation winning device. A large number of pachinko machines configured as described above were provided to the market. In such a pachinko machine, the number of times of opening the door plate is allowed up to the maximum specified number, but since the number of hit balls winning the starting winning opening with the door plate opened is also counted as the specified number, The number of times the door plate is opened may be smaller than the number of hits to the starting winning opening, and if the number of hits to the starting winning opening reaches the prescribed number in a state where the number of hits reaches the specified number, the right is generated. There is a problem that the game state disappears and the player feels dissatisfaction. In order to solve such a problem, the present applicant has previously made an invention in Japanese Patent Application No. 60-62928 in which a hit ball does not enter the starting winning opening when the door plate is open. Proposed.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned invention, even if the winning rate of the hit ball to the right generating prize winning device becomes the right generating game state, it does not change at all from the normal game state. At the early stage when the number of times of release does not reach the prescribed number, there is a possibility that the rights-generated gaming state may disappear,
There is still a problem that it is not possible to eliminate the player's dissatisfaction. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine that can make the number of times of opening a door plate closer to a specified number in a right generation game state. .

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, a right generating game state is set based on a winning of a hit ball in a right generating prize winning device. Each time a winning prize is won, the door plate of the variable prize winning device is driven to open for a predetermined period of time, and during the right generating game state, a predetermined number of hit balls has won the starting prize opening or the right generating prize device is re-entered. In a pachinko machine configured such that the right generating game state is extinguished on the basis of a hit ball, the right generating prize device includes a hitting ball in a state where it is difficult for the hitting ball to win due to a hitting ball in the operating port. The operating port and the start winning port are provided with an electric accessory that can be changed to an easy-to-operate state, and the operating port and the start winning port facilitate winning of a hit ball with the door plate closed, and a winning of a hit ball with the door plate open. Difficult The one in which the features.

[0005]

In the normal game state, when the hit ball hits the operating port, the electric accessory is in a state where the hit ball can easily win. Then, when the hit ball is guided by the electric accessory and wins in the right generation prize winning device, the right generation game state is set based on the winning. Then, when the hit ball wins the start winning opening during the right generating game state, the door plate is opened for a predetermined period. When the door plate is opened, it is difficult for the hit ball to enter the starting winning opening or the operating opening. Therefore, during the opening of the door plate, the player can play the game without worrying about the loss of the right. That is, in the present invention,
Even if the hitting ball wins the right generation prize winning device even when the door plate is open as in the prior art, the hitting ball hits the right generation prize winning device at least during the opening period of the door plate, as compared with the one in which the right generating game state is extinguished. Is difficult to win, the possibility that the right-generated gaming state will be extinguished is reduced, and the number of times of opening the door plate can be closer to the specified number.

18b are arranged. Further, an out opening 19 is provided at the lowermost center of the game area 11 for collecting a hit ball that has not been won.

Further, a variable winning device 20 which constitutes another main part of the present embodiment is arranged above the out opening 19. The variable winning device 20 is formed collectively on a mounting board 21 mounted on the surface of the gaming board 9 and will be described with reference to FIGS.

In the figure, at the center of the mounting board 21,
A ball entrance 22 having a size capable of simultaneously passing a plurality of hit balls is opened, and the ball entrance 22 is closed by a door plate 23. The door plate 23 has shaft rods 24a and 24b protruding from both lower ends thereof.
Is inserted under the ball inlet 22 so as to be openable and closable, and furthermore, an arm rod 25 protruding from the back side edge of the door plate 23 is engaged with the tip of the plunger 27 of the solenoid 26. The door plate 3 is erected by the urging force of the spring 28 as shown by the solid line in FIG.

In the mounting substrate 21, ball entrances 29a and 29b through which one hit ball can pass are opened at both sides of the ball entrance 22, and a box-shaped chuck is provided so as to cover the front surfaces of the ball entrances 29a and 29b. Starting winning ports 31a and 31b are formed by fixing 30a and 30b, and a guide box 32 surrounding the ball inlet 22 and both ball inlets 29a and 29b is integrally fixed to the back surface of the mounting board 21. The guide box 32 corresponding to the ball entrances 29a, 29b has a ball entrance 29a, 2
9b is guided to the back side of the game board 9 and the proximity type start switches 33a, 3 installed in the guide box 32.
3b (see FIG. 6; however, 33a is not shown), the winning is detected, and a guide box 32 corresponding to the ball entrance 22 is provided.
The bottom wall 32a is formed in a gutter shape, and guides the hit ball that has won the ball entrance 22 to the ball exit 34.

Further, inside the chuckers 30a and 30b, valve members 35a and 35b each having an upper end formed in a mountain shape are slidably mounted vertically, and the valve members 35a and 35b are attached to inner walls of the chuckers 30a and 30b. Spring 3 with one end locked
6a, 36b always urge downward. Then, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the shafts 37a, 37b (37
a, the horizontal arms 39a, 39b of the push-up rods 38a, 38b, which are pivotally supported by 43a, face the lower surfaces of the valve members 35a, 35b. The vertical arms 40a and 40b of the push-up rods 38a and 38b have elongated holes 4 respectively.
1a and 41b are formed, and the shaft 2 of the door plate 23 is provided.
The engagement pins 43a, 43b of the engagement arms 42a, 42b fixed to the distal ends of the push-up rods 38a, 38b are fixed to the long holes 4a, 38b.
1a and 41b. In addition, the above-mentioned valve member 3
The shape of the upper end of 5a, 35b is not limited to the bilaterally symmetrical chevron shape, and may be, for example, a slope inclined only in the outer or inner position direction, or the chucker 30.
a, a stopper piece that appears and disappears in 30b.
In this case, the hit ball may be guided backward with the stopper piece protruding and detected by the start switches 33a and 33b, and the hit ball may be passed downward with the stopper piece retracted.

An operating port 44 through which a hit ball passes is projected below the center of the mounting board 21.
An operation switch 45 for detecting a passing ball is built in the unit 4. As shown in FIG. 5, the operating port 44 accepts a hit ball falling from above with the door plate 23 closed. However, when the door plate 23 is open, all hit balls falling from above enter the door plate. Since the ball is received by the ball 23, the ball is not accepted. In addition, working port 4
Numeral 4 is for exciting the solenoid 15 of the electric accessory 13 for a certain period of time when a hit ball is passed. Since the solenoid 4 is deeply involved in the generation and disappearance of the right-generating game state, the start-up is required in the configuration of the pachinko machine. As simple as the prize holes 31a and 31b, obstacle nails arranged on the upstream side thereof are planted so that the hit ball does not win (pass).

The operation of the pachinko machine 1 configured as described above will be described below. In a normal state, the variable winning device 20 is configured such that the door plate 23 is connected to the spring 28 of the solenoid 26.
Is standing up by the urging force of, preventing the winning of a hit ball. At this time, the start winning ports 31a, 31b are connected to the valve members 35a, 3a.
5b is in a position lowered by the urging force of the springs 36a, 36b, and when the hit ball enters the chuckers 30a, 30b and rides on the valve members 35a, 35b, it is guided to the ball inlets 29a, 29b to become a normal winning ball. Further, since the upper portion of the operation port 44 is not obstructed by the door plate 23, the hit ball can pass through.

When a ball hit by the player passes through the operation port 44 in the above state, the operation switch 45 is turned on, and the solenoid 15 is turned on for a predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds). When the solenoid 15 is turned on, the opening / closing wing piece 14 of the electric accessory 13 is opened, so that the hit ball can easily win the right generation prize winning device 12. Thus, when the hit ball wins the right generation prize device 12, the detection switch 16 is turned on to enter the right generation game state, whereby the right to open the variable prize device 20 for example 16 times is generated. However, in this state, the door plate 23 has not been opened yet, and the right is reserved.

And, here, the hit ball is the starting winning opening 31a,
When the ball hits 31b, the start switches 33a, 33b
Is turned on, thereby exciting the solenoid 26 and opening the door plate 23. With the opening of the door plate 23, the shaft 2
The engagement arms 42a and 42b integral with the engagement pins 43a and 43b rotate counterclockwise as shown by a chain line in FIG.
b, the push-up rods 38a, 38b rotate to rotate the horizontal arm 39.
a, 39b push up the valve members 35a, 35b. As a result, the valve members 35a and 35b that have risen up
a and 29b are closed to prevent the winning of the hit ball, and the pachinko balls are distributed to the left and right by the chevron shape at the upper end. In addition, the passage of the hit ball to the operation port 44 is prevented with the opening of the door plate 23. The opening operation of the door plate 23 is performed after a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, 10).
Will be closed by winning. When the door plate 23 is closed, the push-up rods 38a, 38b are engaged via the engagement arms 42a, 42b.
b returns to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 6, and the valve members 35a and 35b also move down by the action of the springs 36a and 36b to move the ball inlet 29
a, 29b are released. Also, the hit ball can pass through the operating port 44 again. However, since the starting winning ports 31a and 31b have a higher hit rate of the hit ball than the operating port 44,
Even if the door plate 23 is closed, the ball is quickly hit.
a, 31b to open the door plate 23 again.

The above-described operation is performed in the starting winning ports 31a, 31
b is repeated until a predetermined number (for example, 16) of hit balls is won, and the probability that the hit balls are guided to the right generation and prize device 12 until the predetermined number is reached and the right disappears can be suppressed. .

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the door plate 23 and the starting winning port 31a, which constitute the main part of the game content,
Since the 31b and the working port 44 are formed collectively on one mounting board 21, each mounting operation is simplified. Of course, these may be configured separately and arranged at the same position or different positions.

In the above-described embodiment, the valve members 35 linked to the opening of the door plate 23 are provided in the starting winning ports 31a and 31b.
a, 35b are shown, but the starting winning opening 31
The positions of a and 31b may be arranged below the door plate 23 similarly to the operation port 44. With this configuration, the same effects as those of the above embodiment can be obtained by omitting the valve member, the link mechanism that operates the valve member, and the like. Conversely, the position of the operation port 44 may be provided above the door plate 23, and a valve member that closes the operation port 44 in conjunction with the opening of the door plate 23 may be provided. Then, these valve members may be operated by an electric drive source.

In the above-described embodiment, the operating port 44 is shown as a passing port through which a hit ball passes and wins a prize ball.

[0026]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, even if the door plate is open as in the prior art, the hit ball wins the right generating prize device and the right generating game state disappears. In comparison with the case where the right generation game state is hard to win in the right generation prize winning device at least during the opening period of the door plate, the possibility of disappearing the right generation game state is reduced,
As a result, the number of times of opening the door plate can be made closer to the specified number.
