The operation of the game Jb machine according to the present invention shown in the above drawings will now be explained in detail.

When the game machine is stopped, the balls 29, 30 and 31 are placed in the ball catch 1 of any pocket 10 on the roulette wheel 8.
1 and is attracted by a corresponding electromagnet 14. At this moment, press the betting operation button 4 to select the desired time number and the number of coins to bet, and then turn on the start switch 34. The motor 17 starts operating and the drive wheel 18 rotates, and this rotation is caused by the idler application. The signal is transmitted to the wheel 16, and the roulette wheel 8 rotates at high speed, for example, in the clockwise direction in FIG. 3, together with the circuit board 21. When it happens,
For example, when two or more balls are in one pole catch, the outer balls are moved to the pole catch by centrifugal force.
The ball separates from the ball, is thrown from the boards 1 to 8, and transfers to the first ball orbital surface 7a on the endless ball 1lNt road part) A7. At this time, the ball 31 is on the roulette wheel 8
The ball begins to transfer in the same direction as the rotation direction of the ball, is gradually accelerated as will be explained later, and is pushed up to the second ball orbital surface 7b. In such a case, the power to one of the electromagnets 14 is cut off, and the next ball 30 is thrown out of the roulette wheel 8 by centrifugal force, transferred to the first ball orbital surface 7a, and gradually accelerated to become the second ball. ! It is pushed up onto the road surface 7b. If this happens, then one of the electromagnets 14
The electricity is cut off, the next ball 29 is thrown out from the roulette wheel 8 by centrifugal force, and the first ball 1ilt road surface 7

Before being pushed up, it is further pushed up to the third ball orbital surface 7C.

FIG. 6 shows that the roulette wheel 8 is rotated and the pole 29
When the ball 29 is thrown onto the first ball track surface 7a, the photosensors P1. ．． A control circuit is shown that sequentially excites electromagnets M 1 , M2 , M3 , . . . , based on signals from P2, P3, -1. Further, in order to further accelerate the ball 3o that has moved to the second ball track surface 7b and make it travel on the second pole track surface 7b, the photosensors P' I and P'2 disposed on the second guide wall 7e are used.

A power supply device 37 is a switch for supplying current to -.

The control circuit 35 applies current to the electromagnet M1 when a signal is brought from the photosensor P1, to the electromagnet M2 when a signal is brought from the photosensor P2, and so on for a certain period of time to the electromagnet corresponding to each photosensor. is configured to supply

FIG. 7 shows details of one embodiment of the control circuit shown in FIG. 6, and in the same figure, 35, 36 and 37 are denoted by the same reference numerals in FIG. 6 and correspond to the respective constituent elements. , Pl to P

2 is a Schmint trigger circuit, G1 to G12 are discrimination circuits, Dl to Dl2 are off-play circuits, and S to ms+2 are switching elements.

Although 12+11i1L of photosensors and electromagnets are not shown in FIG. 7 in order to avoid complicating the drawing, in reality, a larger number is provided, and correspondingly, a Schmitt trigger circuit, The same number of discrimination circuits, off-play circuits, and switching elements as the photosensors and electromagnets are also provided.

Therefore, the ball 31 thrown onto the first ball orbital surface 7a on the endless pole orbital part moon 7 first hits any one of the photosensors P L , P , 2 , P 3 , etc. Detected by one. Assuming that the ball 31 is now first detected by the photosensor P2, the control circuit 35 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 receives a signal from the photosensor P2.

In this case, the control circuit 35 causes a pulsed current to flow through the electromagnet M2 in response to the photosensor P2, thereby attracting the ball 31 to the side of the electromagnet M2. Therefore, in addition to the inertia when the ball 31 is thrown from the roulette wheel 8, the ball 31 is slightly accelerated by the attraction action from the electromagnet M2.

Based on the output signals of the photosensors P1, P2, P3, . . . , electromagnets M1, M
The operation of the control circuit 35 for energizing the circuits 2, M3, and so on will be explained below using the embodiment shown in FIG.

That is, when the start switch 34 (FIG. 4) is turned on at play start 11i5, the switch 37 for operating the control circuit 35 is also automatically turned on at approximately the same time.

In such a case, the Schmitt trigger circuit AI, A2, A3,
---A□2 starts operating all at once, but the ball 3I thrown out from the roulette wheel 8 hits the first ball orbital surface 7.
When detected by photosensor P2 on a,
Schmitt trigger circuit A2 corresponding to photosensor P2
only produces output.

In this embodiment, the discrimination circuit G2, the photosensor P2
Only the Schmitt trigger circuit A2 corresponding to P generates an output, and the output of the Schmitt trigger circuit A2 is passed only when the outputs of the Schmitt trigger circuits A1 and A3 corresponding to the adjacent photosensors P and P3 are zero. It is an inhibitor gate that causes Other circuits (J
The same applies to I, G3, -'-''-----GI2. For example, in the discrimination circuit G1, only the Schmitt trigger circuit A1 corresponding to the photosensor P1 generates an output,
It is an inhibit gate that allows the output of the Schmitt trigger circuit A1 to pass only when the outputs of the Schmitt trigger circuits A12 and A2 corresponding to the adjacent photosensors P12 and P2 are zero. Only the Schmitt trigger circuit 80 corresponding to the sensor Ps generates an output, and the adjacent photosensors P5 and Pl
This is an inhibit gate that allows the output of Schmitt trigger circuit A to pass only when the outputs of Schmitt trigger circuits A5 and A7 corresponding to A are zero.

These discrimination circuits G, , G2, G3, -----・G1
2 is a Schmint trigger circuit A l, A2, A3, -
-” -A It plays a role in determining whether the signal from I2 is a noise caused by external light or a true signal.In other words, in the case of noise caused by external light, etc., for example, not only the photosensor P2 but also the adjacent Since the photosensors P1 and P3 simultaneously detect light, in such a case, the outputs of the Schmitt trigger circuits A], A2, A:] are simultaneously input to the discrimination circuit G2, and the output of the Schmitt trigger circuit A2 is It cannot pass through the discrimination circuit G2.

When the ball 31 is detected by the first sensor P2, the signal passing through the discrimination circuit G2 makes the switching element S2 conductive via the off-pref circuit D2.

In this case, a pulsed current is passed through the electromagnet M2, and thereby the hole 31 is strongly attracted in the direction of the electromagnet M2.

This off-play time 1 DI% D2, D3, - D12 is the photosensor l) 1, P2, P3, --- Pl.

Even after the signal from the electromagnets M 1 , M 2 ,
M3,---- M+2 is provided in order to continue to be energized and accelerate the ball 31, and the maximum speed of the ball 31 is determined by this off-play circuit DH,, D2, D3.
, '-'-'- is defined by the delay time preset in DI2. That is, this delay time (output pulse width of the off-play circuit) is such that when the ball 31 rotates on the first ball 4σL road surface 7a at the desired maximum speed,
The time is set to be approximately equal to the time required for the ball 31 to pass between adjacent photosensors.

If the delay time of the off-play circuit is set in this way, the power to the electromagnet M2 will be cut off before the ball 31 reaches the magnetic pole of the electromagnet M2 before it reaches the maximum speed. After passing the magnetic pole of the electromagnet M2, it is not pulled back by this magnetic pole, but rolls in the direction of the next photosensor P3 due to inertia, and is thereby detected. In this case, a pulsed current is supplied to the electromagnet M3 in the same manner as described above, and the ball 31 is further accelerated.

Pulsed energization to the electromagnet M3 also occurs when the ball 31 is connected to the electromagnet M.
The ball 31 is blocked before reaching the magnetic pole No. 3, and the ball 31 further rolls due to inertia and is detected by the next photosensor P4.
Thereafter, the photosensors P5 and PC1P7 sequentially detect the electromagnets M5, MG, and M in the same manner as above.
7, the ball is gradually accelerated and rotates at high speed on the first ball orbital surface 7a.

When the transfer speed of the ball 31 reaches a preset maximum speed, the switch 37 is automatically opened by a timer or the like not shown in the figure, and the transfer speed under the first ball track surface 7a is automatically opened. Each electromagnet M1. M2, M3
, ---- stops, and at about the same time the ball 31 is detected by a photosensor (not shown) installed adjacent to the electromagnet M shown in FIG. Suction is applied to move the ball 31 from the first ball orbital surface 7a to the second ball orbital surface 7b.

At the same time as the ball 31 is attracted by the electromagnet M and passes through, the electromagnet M is de-energized so as not to be pulled back, and the ball 31 rolls due to inertia and is detected by one of the foI sensors on the second guide wall 7e. The ball 31 rolls on the second ball track surface 7b until it reaches the maximum speed in the same manner as the transfer method on the first ball track surface 7a.

Furthermore, the ball 31 is moved from the second ball track surface 7b to the third ball track surface 7b in the same way as the electromagnet M' shown in FIG.
Move to the ball track surface 7C, and move to the front 2 first ball track surface 7a.
The ball is rolled on the third ball raceway surface 7c until the maximum speed is reached in the same manner as in the transfer method described above.

During this time, just when the ball 31 moves to the second ball track surface 7b, for example, the current flowing through the electromagnet 14 holding the ball 30 is cut off. In such a case, the ball 30 is separated from the ball catch 11 by centrifugal force, thrown out from the roulette wheel 8, and transferred to the first ball track surface 7a.

Thus, the ball 30 thrown onto the first ball FDT path surface 7a reaches the maximum speed on the first ball orbit surface 7a in the same manner as the ball 31, and moves to the second pole ILK path surface 7b. , and rolls on the second ball raceway surface 7b until reaching the maximum speed.

During this time, just as the ball 30 moves to the second ball track surface 7b, the electromagnet 14□ holding the ball '29 is also demagnetized, and the ball 29 is detached from the ball catch 11 due to centrifugal force and removed from the roulette wheel 8. The ball is thrown out and transfers to the first ball orbital surface 7a. At this time, the ball 29 starts moving in the same direction as the rotation direction of the roulette wheel 8.

After the roulette wheel 8 throws out the H & ball 29, the motor 17 is immediately reversed by a command from the control circuit 32, and the roulette wheel 8 is rotated in the opposite direction to the starting rotation (counterclockwise in FIG. 3). direction). As a result, the direction of transfer of the balls 29, 30 and 31 and the direction of rotation of the roulette wheel 8 are opposite.

Thus, the ball 2 thrown onto the first ball orbital surface 7a
The ball 9 rolls on the first ball raceway surface 7a in the same manner as the ball 31 until it reaches the maximum speed.

Thus, the ball 29 on the first ball raceway surface 7a, the ball 30 on the second ball raceway surface 7b, and the third ball raceway surface 7
When the transfer speed of all the balls 31 on C reaches the preset maximum speed or a predetermined time elapses, the switch 37 etc. are automatically opened by a timer etc. not shown in the figure, and the transfer speed to all the electromagnets is automatically opened. Power is cut off. Thereafter, the balls 29, 30 and 31 roll on the endless ball track by inertia.

Meanwhile, at the same time as all the electromagnets stop operating, current is supplied to the solenoid 19 in response to a command from the control circuit 32 shown in FIG.
6, the motor 17 is stopped, and thereafter the roulette wheel 8 is also allowed to idle due to inertia.

As a result, the balls 29, 30 and 31, which were being transferred by inertia on the first ball raceway surface 7as, second pole raceway surface 7b, and third ball raceway surface 7C on the endless ball raceway member 7, gradually lost speed due to friction. Then, the transfer radius decreases, and the balls 29 on the first ball orbital surface 7.a sequentially transfer onto the idling roulette wheel 8.

The ball 29 moves over the projections 9 formed on the roulette wheel 8 for a while, but as the roulette wheel 8 slows down, it moves toward the center over the pocket 10 and hits the ball catch 11. is held and stopped. Similarly, the balls 30 and 31 are held in the ball receiver 11 in this order and stopped.

When the balls 29, 30 and 31 are held in the ball seat 11, the pressers 25, 26 and 2 are pressed down according to the number of balls inserted.
7 is pressed down, microswitches 22, 23 and 2
4 is activated, its output signal is transmitted to the brush 28 via the slip ring provided on the back side of the circuit board fJ21,
An arithmetic control circuit (not shown) connected to this detects the stopping positions of the balls 29, 30 and 31, calculates the number of coins to be paid out according to the combination of numbers bet in advance, and pays out the coins. The mechanism operates and pays out coins to the player.

This bet is similar to conventional roulette, in addition to the so-called fl' 119 formula, which determines whether at least one ball will land in the designated number or color ball tray, and the number of balls where the ball will fall +-.
Since you can also bet on the i number or the color combination, the probability of winning is extremely wide and diverse.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the ball moving portion of the main body of the multi-stage roulette game device shown in FIG. 4, which moves the ball to the upper stage.

In Fig. 8, P is a photo sensor for ball detection, 38 is a first photo sensor.
A guide plate provided on the same surface as the ball track surface 7a so as to be openable and closable; 39 is a hinge attached to one end of the first ball 1lilt path surface and one end of the guide plate 38; 40 is a solenoid;
41 is a stepped rod that is slidably provided through the solenoid 40. Although not shown in the figure, a configuration similar to the above is also provided on the second ball raceway surface 7b.

After a predetermined period of time has elapsed for the ball to reach its maximum speed on the first ball it road surface 7a, the photo sensor P detects the ball, activates the solenoid 40, and moves the rod 41.
This pushes one end of the guide plate 38 up to the height of the second ball 1lit road surface 7b (the position shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure). In such a case, the ball moves from the first track surface 7a to the second ball track surface 7b through the guide plate 37. When the ball moves, the current to the solenoid 40 is cut off, the rod 41 returns to its original position, and the guide plate 38 also returns to its original position. Furthermore, although the balls are omitted in the figure, they are moved from the second ball track surface 7b to the third ball track surface 7C by the same method as above.

Since both surfaces are on the same plane, the ball thrown from the roulette wheel hits the third guide wall 45 and rolls along the third guide wall 45 on the third ball orbital surface 44a. In this case, the solenoid 48 is activated and the rod 49 causes the third
The ball track member 44 rises to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in the figure. The ball continues to move in the manner described above until maximum speed is reached.

When the next ball is thrown from the roulette wheel, it hits the second guide wall 44b and rolls along the second guide wall 44b on the road surface 43a. In such a case, the solenoids 1 to 46 are activated and the second ball 'JLm member 43 is raised by the rod 47 to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in the figure.

The ball continues to shift in the manner described above until it reaches its maximum velocity.

When the last ball is thrown from the roulette wheel, it hits the first guide wall 43b and rolls on the first ball IPH path 42a along the first guide wall 43b in the manner described above until it reaches the maximum speed.

When all the balls reach the maximum speed of 111i, the power to each transfer device is cut off, and the holes roll by inertia, gradually lose speed, and move to the transfer board, where they move to the second ball orbit. +A43 and the third ball orbit part shrine 44 return to their original positions because the electricity to the solenoids 46 and 4 is cut off.

is a ball made of high magnetic permeability abrasive material.

Then, when the ball 52.53 is thrown from the Lurezo board 8, the ball begins to move by the photosensor and electromagnet in the same manner as described above.The figure-8 trajectory 50
In order to move the ball 52 along the circular trajectory, the electromagnets M6 to Mi2 are sequentially activated by detection by the photosensor Ps before the intersection.

Electromagnets M6 to M12 are installed at the intersection of the figure 8-shaped 4-way L road 50.
If the ball 52 is not activated, the centrifugal force will cause the ball 52 to pass through the intersection and move to another circular trajectory. The ball 53 that has moved to another circular orbit continues to be transferred and is detected by the photosensor P'6 slightly before the intersection, and is detected by the electromagnets M'6 to Ml12.
The circular orbital motion is continued by the operation of the electromagnet M'e.
If M' to M'ν is not activated, the centrifugal force causes the object to pass through the intersection and return to its original circular orbit.

On the one hand, the timing of energization of each electromagnet is controlled so that these balls do not collide. When all the balls reach the maximum speed, each ball is sequentially transferred to a circular orbit around the roulette wheel 8, and after a short period of inertia, the balls are sequentially transferred onto the roulette wheel M8.

Since the present invention is constructed like an iron ball, according to the present invention, a plurality of balls can be individually transferred to a plurality of ball trajectories, and these balls are moved along the ball +lL path. The roulette wheel is rotated in a direction opposite to the direction of the balls, as the roulette wheel is rotated continuously until the maximum speed is reached by the action of the magnetic force of the installed electromagnets.
After that, when the power to the electromagnet is cut off and the roulette wheel is allowed to idle, when the balls that have lost speed are accepted into the pockets of the roulette wheel and stop, the respective stopping positions are read and a prescribed payout is made. This provides a multi-stage Roulent'Nt game device that automatically performs all of the above operations, giving the user the feeling of playing a real roulette game, and also allows for complex bets and a high betting rate. be.

Therefore, it is an interesting multi-stage rule left game device that allows you to enjoy not only the interest of the rule left game but also the VA of seeing whether or not you hit the ball as many times as there are balls each time the ball is received in the pocket.

Note that the configuration of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment of the iron ball; for example, although a photo sensor is used to detect the ball moving on the ball trajectory, any sensor that can detect the ball may be used. Moreover, various circuit configurations can be used for the control circuit that sequentially energizes each electromagnet in response to the magnetic force of each sensor. The microswitch and pusher as detection means for detecting this can also be replaced with other sensors, and furthermore, the configuration of each element can be freely changed in design within the scope of the purpose of the present invention. and the present invention encompasses all of them.
