Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a coin gaming machine, and more particularly to a coin gaming machine that has been improved so that balls can be effectively used.

In general, coin gaming machines have become widespread and are popular among players as one of the convenient cash registers. As is well known, this gaming machine is played by hitting a fixed number of pachinko balls or for a fixed period of time in response to the insertion of coins. A plurality of ball sockets are arranged below the game board surface to catch balls falling. Pachinko balls are dropped into the ball sockets and displayed on a combination display, and prizes are paid out when the pachinko balls fall into each of the ball sockets in a predetermined combination. However, in conventional coin-operated gaming machines, the ball socket is formed only in the lower part of the game board, so the balls hit into the ball socket only once, causing the display state of the combination display to change. I was only given one chance. For this reason, there were problems such as the balls being hit were not used effectively, which was disadvantageous to the players.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to form at least two levels of ball sockets or passage areas in the vertical direction of the game board, in which conditions for changing the display state of the display means are defined, and to To provide a coin game machine in which the display state of a display means can be changed a plurality of times with balls put in, and the balls thrown in can be effectively used.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external view of a coin gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, on the side of the front panel of the coin gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, there is an indicator lamp 1 that indicates a state in which coins can be inserted (that is, a state in which games can be played), a coin slot 2, and a coin slot 2 that cannot be used. An inserted coin return port 3 for returning coins when inserted, and a return command button 4 for commanding the return of the inserted coins are provided.

In addition, on the game board of the coin game machine 10, a first

and will be provided. Further, below the board surface, there are pachinko ball sockets (hereinafter referred to as ball sockets) 7a to 7h as other examples of the first specific area, and a ball socket 8a as another example of the second specific area. They are arranged horizontally to receive pachinko balls with a weight of ~8g. That is, in this invention, the vertical position of the game board forms the passage areas 5a to 5l, 6a to 6i in a step-like manner, and the balls that have passed through the passage areas 5a to 5l, 6a to 6i return to the ball sockets 7a to 7h. or 8a-8
It can be dropped into either g.

On the game board of the coin game machine 10, a horse racing course type display 20 (described later in FIG. 2) shown as an example of first and second display means is arranged. In addition, if necessary, there is a special prize area 9 provided with a condition that allows the display state of the first display means to be changed to a predetermined display state by the passage of one pachinko ball, and a special prize area 9 where one pachinko ball passes. A return hole (return command area) 1 provided with a condition for commanding the display state of the first display means to return to the initial state in accordance with
1a and 11b are formed on the game board. In addition,
In the illustration, the passage areas 5a to 5 are the first specific areas.
1 and ball sockets 7a to 7h are shown, however, either one of these may be provided.

Below the front panel of the coin gaming machine 10, there is a ball waiting gutter 12 that guides the pachinko balls that are paid out in response to the insertion of a coin to a ball hitting position in order to hit them one by one, and a ball waiting gutter 12 that guides the pachinko balls that are paid out in response to the insertion of a coin to a ball hitting position. A ball hitting handle 13 for firing pachinko balls by hitting the pachinko balls guided to a position with a ball rod (32 shown in FIG. 3 described later), and for paying out a number of prize coins according to the score. A coin payout port 14 and a coin tray 15 for receiving coins paid out from the coin payout port 14 are provided. In a part of the front panel, there is a guide display board 1 in which game instructions for playing with the coin game machine 10 of this embodiment are described.
6 is formed.

2A and 2B are detailed views of the race course-shaped display 20 as an example of the first and second display means that characterize this embodiment, and in particular, for example, FIG. 2A shows its front view. , FIG. 2B shows a longitudinal sectional view thereof. In the figure, a horse racing course type display 20 is composed of a first course 21 as a first display means and a second course 22 as a second display means. The first course 21 includes a plurality of display sections (24 in the figure) 21a to 21x, and these display sections 21a to 21x are arranged in an elliptical (or annular) shape. Each display section 2
Each of 1a to 21x has a built-in light-emitting display member such as a lamp or a light-emitting diode, and is covered with a transparent or translucent plate-like piece with a picture of a horse drawn on its surface. Similarly, the second course 22
is a display section 2 similar to the display section of the first course 21.
2a to 22x, and each display part 22a to 22x faces each display part of the first course.
It is arranged in an elliptical (or annular) shape inside the course of. In this way, the race course-shaped display 20 configured by arranging a plurality of display parts in an elliptical (or annular) shape preferably has a starting point (number 1) located outside the first course. Numbers indicating the number of pieces (number of pieces) up to each display section are drawn.

The horse racing course type display device 20 configured as described above is configured to display the first specific area every time a pachinko ball passes through either the passing areas 5a to 5l or the ball sockets 7a to 7h, which are examples of the first specific areas. 1 course 2
From the starting point of 1, each display section is lit up sequentially to advance the pieces of the 1st course one by one, and the pachinko balls pass to either the second specific areas 6a to 6i or the ball sockets 8a to 8g. When this happens, each display section is sequentially lit and displayed from the start point of the second course 22 to advance one frame at a time. Which course will reach the goal first (i.e. the display section 21
Win or lose is determined by whether the player reaches x or 22x). For example, if the display of the first course is able to light up a predetermined display section 21x first, it is determined that the player has won, and a predetermined prize is paid out. On the other hand, if the second course can be displayed on the predetermined display section 22x first, it is determined that the player has lost, and prize payout control is not performed. Then, when either one reaches the predetermined display position display portion 21x or 22x first, one coin game is ended.

Alternatively, the winner or loser may be determined simply by which course arrives first, and prizes may be paid out only when the player wins. and second course 22
One display unit may be set as one piece (horse length) in accordance with the first-come-first-served determination, and the number of prizes paid out to the player may be variably controlled according to the difference in the number of pieces (that is, the difference in horse length). Therefore, more preferably, when the first course arrives first, that is, when the player wins, the number of horse length differences from the second course (or the number of prizes awarded based on the difference) is displayed and paid out. A difference number display 23 using, for example, a segment display is provided to indicate the number of possible prizes.

Note that FIGS. 2A and 2B show, as an example of the first and second display means, a race course-shaped display 20 in which a plurality of display sections are arranged in an elliptical or annular shape, respectively. However, it goes without saying that a plurality of display sections for each course may be arranged facing each other in a straight line.

Further, as still another example of the first and second display means, first and second segment displays are arranged on the game board, and the ball passes through areas 5a to 5a as the first specific area. 5l or ball socket 7a-7h
When passing through or entering any of the above, the display value of the first segment indicator is increased by 1, and either the passing area 6a, ~6i or the ball socket 8a~8g is selected as the second specific area. When passing or entering, the display value of the second segment display may be increased by 1, and the winner may be determined depending on which segment display displays a predetermined number first. . Also, the first and second
As yet another example of the display means, the same number of indicator lights are arranged vertically or horizontally on the left and right sides of the board of the coin game machine, and each time a pachinko ball passes a corresponding specific area, the indicator lights on the corresponding side are displayed. The indicator lights may be turned on sequentially.

FIG. 3 is an illustrative view showing the back side of the front panel of the coin gaming machine 10.

FIG. 4A shows the passage areas 5a to 5l or 6a.
FIG. 4B is a sectional view showing details of a passing ball detection switch and a passing area as an example of the first or second passing ball detection means for detecting pachinko balls that have passed through the ball sockets 7a to 6i. 7h or 8a

Coin dispensing solenoid 317 and prize coin storage tube 3 by energizing the solenoid 317
and a path 318 that guides coins dispensed by pushing out the coins from the lateral direction of the coin dispensing port 14 to the coin dispensing port 14.

On the back surface of the ball-striking handle 13, there is a ball-striking rod (ball hammer) 32 for hitting the pachinko ball guided to the ball-striking position by the rotation of the ball-striking handle 13.
is provided. Further, if it is necessary to prohibit hitting the ball with the ball hitting handle 13 after the game is over, a game prohibition mechanism 320 is provided. During the game, the game prohibition mechanism 320 attracts the plunger 322 by energizing the solenoid 321, rotates the lever 323 fixed to the tip of the plunger 322 about the support member 324, The engagement between the stopping lever 325 and the protrusion formed at the tip of the lever 323 is released.
And, if you want to prohibit the game, solenoid 321
By deenergizing the plunger 322, the plunger 322 is pushed out by the action of the spring 326. When the plunger 322 is pushed out, the lever 323 is rotated about the support member 324, so that the protrusion of the lever 323 and the stopper lever 32 are rotated.
5 is engaged, whereby the stopper lever 325 blocks the path leading from the ball waiting gutter 12 to the launching point of the ball rod 32 and prohibits the supply of pachinko balls.
Prohibit ball hitting games.

On the back side of the game board, a path 331 is formed corresponding to the special prize area 9, and pachinko balls that have won a prize in the special prize area 9 pass through the path 331 to the ball storage path 3.
I am led to 32. Further, the return command hole 11a,
Paths 333 and 334 are formed on the back surface of 11b, and pachinko balls that have entered the return command holes 11a and 11b are transferred to the ball storage path 3 via the paths 333 and 334.
I am led to 32. The outlet of this path 332 is connected to the batted ball waiting gutter 12, and the paths 331, 333,
334 and pachinko balls dropped through the ball sockets 7a to 7b or 8a to 8g are guided to the ball waiting gutter 12. In connection with the paths 333 and 334, return command detection switches 34a and 34b are provided for detecting pachinko balls that have entered the return command holes 11a and 11b. In addition, a passing ball detection switch 35a as an example of a first passing ball detection means is connected to the passing paths 5a, 5l formed on the game board.
35l are provided, and passing ball detection switches 37a to 37h as another example of the first passing ball detection means are provided in relation to the ball falling paths of the ball sockets 7a to 7h. Furthermore, passing ball detection switches 36a to 36i as an example of second passing ball detection means are provided in relation to ball passing positions in passing areas 36a to 36i as second specific areas formed on the game board. In addition, passing ball detection switches 35a to 38g as another example of second passing ball detection means are provided in relation to the ball passage paths of the ball sockets 8a to 8g. Also, the path 31 provided on the back side of the special prize hole 9

In the illustration, as an example of the first and second passing ball detection means, the operating lever of the passing ball detection switch is inserted along the ball passing direction and is detected by being pressed by a passing pachinko ball. This example uses a micro-switch, but other examples include a proximity sensor that generates a signal in response to the proximity of a pachinko ball, or a sensor that blocks a light beam when a pachinko ball passes. It goes without saying that a detection means such as a photoelectric sensor that derives a detection output may be used.

FIG. 5 is a control circuit diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. An overview of the control circuit of this embodiment is as follows.
A variable display control means including counts 521 and 522, decoders 531 and 532, transistors 55a to 55x and 56a to 56x, a first-come-first-served judgment circuit 57, a difference judgment circuit 54, a prize payout control circuit 58, and a coin payout control solenoid 317. and a prize dispensing means. Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, the operation when playing a game with the coin gaming machine of this embodiment will be explained together with the specific configuration shown in FIG.

When a player inserts a coin purchased from a coin lending machine into the coin slot 2, the inserted coin is selected by the coin selector 311 to determine whether it is a usable coin or not, and if it is a usable coin, it is sent to the coin shoot 312. Coin storage tube for prizes via 3
It is stored in 13. At this time, since the coin detection switch 314 is closed when passing the detection position of the coin shoot 312, a high level (hereinafter referred to as "H") signal is applied via the detection switch 314 as a set input to the flip-flop F1. The set output of the flip-flop F1 makes the transistor 51 conductive, so the solenoid 321 is energized, causing the engagement between the stop lever 325 and the lever 323 to be released, and the pachinko balls supplied through the path 332 are hit. It is possible to supply the rod 32 to the firing position. The solenoid 321 continues to be energized until the flip-flop F1 is reset (that is, until the game ends).

As described above, when the game is enabled, the player operates the ball hitting handle 13 to play the pachinko ball hitting game, and hits the pachinko balls one by one into the game board. The pachinko balls hit in this way are
0 passing through any of the passing areas 5a to 5l for advancing the display of the first course 21 one frame at a time, or passing areas 6a to 6a for advancing each display section of the second course 22 one frame at a time. Pachinko balls passing through or falling without passing through passing areas 5a to 5l, 6a to 6i are displayed in each display of the first course. The player enters the ball sockets 7a to 7h for advancing the division one frame at a time, or enters the ball sockets 8a to 8g for advancing the display of the second course 22 one frame at a time.

For example, if we assume that a ball passes through the ball passing area 5a, the passing ball detection switch 3
5a is closed by a passing ball. depending on,
The "H" signal is given to the differentiating circuit D1 via the detection switch 35a, and after being differentiated at the rising edge, the OR
It is applied to counter 521 as an addition command signal via gates G1 and G2. This counter 5
21 adds 1 several times each time a pulse input is given from OR gate G2, and counts cumulatively during one game period, and provides the counted value to decoder 531 and difference determination circuit 54. This decoder 531 has output terminals (1 to 24) corresponding to the number of display sections 21a to 21x of the first course of the horse racing course type display 20, and a counter 521.
Based on the count value (n1), an "H" signal is derived from the output terminal corresponding to the count value. Now, assuming that the counter 521 is counting the number 1, the decoder 531 derives an "H" signal from the output terminal corresponding to the number 1, and the transistor 5
By making 5a conductive, the lamp of the display section 21a is turned on. Thereafter, in the same manner, each time a driven pachinko ball passes through or enters either the passage areas 5a to 5l or the ball sockets 7a to 7h, the detection switches 35a to 35l, 37a to 37
h is closed and corresponding differential circuits D1 to D20
The differentiated pulse is differentiated by OR gate G1, G
2 to the counter 521, and the counter 521 counts the number of pulse inputs.
The display section of the first course corresponding to the counted value is lit up.

On the other hand, the hammered pachinko balls are on the second course 2.
Passage area 6a for variably displaying each display section of 2.
6i or ball sockets 8a to 8g, passing ball detection switches 36a to 36 provided in relation to the corresponding passing area or ball socket
i or 38a-38g are closed. For example, assuming that a pachinko ball passes through the passing area 6a, the passing ball detection switch 36
a is closed. In response, an "H" signal is applied to the differentiating circuit D21 via the passing ball detection switch 36a, and after being differentiated, is applied as an addition command signal to the counter 522 via the OR gate G3.
This counter 522 cumulatively adds the count value by 1 each time there is a pulse input through the OR gate G3, and provides the added value to the decoder 532 and the difference determination circuit 54. This decoder 532 is configured similarly to decoder 531. Now, for example, OR gate G3
There are two pulse inputs via the counter 52
2 counts the number 2, the decoder 532
derives an "H" signal from the output terminal corresponding to the numerical value 2, making the transistor 56b conductive. In response, power is supplied to the lamp of the display section 22b of the second course 22, and the lamp is lit up. Thereafter, in the same manner, the ball passes through the areas 6a to 6i or the ball socket 8.
Each time passing through any one of a to 8g, the corresponding differentiating circuits D21 to D37 give a differential pulse to the counter 522 via the OR gate G3, and the counter 522 passes through any one of the passing areas 6a to 6a as the second specific area.
The number of balls that passed through either ball socket 6i or ball sockets 8a to 8g is counted.

As described above, the number of pachinko balls that have passed through either of the passing areas 5a to 5l or 7a to 7h as the first specific area is cumulatively counted by the counter 521, and The number of display parts corresponding to the count value of the counter 521 is lit up. The counter 522 counts the number of balls that have passed through either the passing areas 6a to 6i or the ball sockets 8a to 8g as the second specific area, and the counter 522 counts the number of balls that have passed from the starting point of the second course 22. The number of display parts corresponding to the numerical value is displayed by lighting up. In this way, each time a driven pachinko ball passes through either the passing areas 5a to 5l or the ball sockets 7a to 7h, the display of the first course is advanced by one piece, and the passing area is 6a
Each time the ball passes through any of the ball sockets 8a to 8g, the display of the second course 22 is advanced one frame at a time. and the first course 21 or the second course
When either one of the courses 22 reaches the goal first, that is, the final display section 21x or 22
When either one of the x's lights up first, the winner or loser is determined by which one arrives first.

That is, the output signals of the output terminals of the decoders 531 and 532 representing the number of goals (24 in the figure) are input to the first-come-first-served determination circuit 57, respectively.
This first-come-first-served determination circuit 57 derives an "H" signal from the output terminal representing the player's win when the "H" signal is derived from the output terminal representing a certain number (24) of the decoder 531 first, and issues a determination command. It is given as a signal to the difference determination circuit 54 and also as one input of OR gate G6. On the other hand, when the "H" signal is first given from the output terminal representing the fixed number (24) of the decoder 532, the "H" signal is derived from the output terminal representing the loss of the player, and is input as the other input of the OR gate G6. give.

Now, assuming that the player wins, the difference determination circuit 54 calculates the count value n of the counter 521 in response to the determination command signal derived from the first-come-first-served determination circuit 57.
Subtract count value n2 of counter 522 from 1 n1-
n2 and find the number of differences in display status (number of horse length differences).
This difference number is given to the decoder 59, displayed as a score on the difference number display 23, and also given to the prize payout control circuit 58. For example, if the difference number is 2 or less, the prize payout control circuit 58 intermittently energizes the prize payout solenoid 317 twice to control the payout of two prize coins, and when the difference number is 3.
Or if it is 4, the solenoid 317 is intermittently energized 3 times to control the payout of 3 prize coins, and if the difference is 5 or more, the solenoid 317 is energized 5 times.
The five coins are payout controlled by intermittently energizing control only once. As a result, the payout of a predetermined number of prize coins is controlled depending on how the player wins (ie, the number of horse lengths). In addition, the output from the first-come-first-served judgment circuit 57 that indicates a win resets the flip-flop F1 via the OR gate G6, deenergizes the solenoid 321 to prohibit the game, and resets the count value of the counter 521 via the OR gate G5. Then, the count value of the counter 522 is reset.

On the other hand, when the first-come-first-served determination circuit 57 determines that the player has lost, an "H" signal derived from the output terminal representing a loss resets the flip-flop F1 via the OR gate G6 and de-energizes the solenoid 321. The count value of the counter 522 is reset by prohibiting the game.
Further, the count value of the counter 521 is reset via the OR gate G5. In this way, the series of operations during one coin game period is completed.

Next, as another example of this embodiment, for example, a case where a special prize hole 9 is provided on the board with a condition that the player wins depending on one passing ball, and Return command holes 11a and 11b are provided with a condition for returning the display state of the first course of the player to the initial state (in other words, in terms of horse racing games, a condition for returning to the starting point due to a horse fall). Let's explain the operation when it is set. For example, the driving ball passes through the areas 5a to 5l.
Alternatively, considering the state in which 5 balls have passed or entered any of the ball sockets 7a to 7h, the counter 521 is counting the number 5, so the display section 21e of the 5th ball from the starting point of the first course is lit and displayed. When a pachinko ball hit by a player luckily lands in the special prize hole 9, the special prize ball detection switch 39 is closed, and the "H" signal is sent via the switch 39 to set the flip-flop F2. do. The set output of flip-flop F2 is applied as one input to AND gate G4, thereby activating AND gate G4. This AND
Since the pulse output of the pulse oscillator 60 is always supplied to the gate G4, the AND gate G4 derives the oscillation pulse of the pulse oscillator 60 during the setting period of the flip-flop F2, and sends an addition command to the counter 521 via the OR gate G2. Give as a signal. Therefore, the counter 521 counts continuously applied pulse inputs and sequentially increments the counted value. When the counter 521 counts a constant number 24 representing the goal, an "H" signal is derived from the output terminal of the decoder 531 representing the constant number 24. Since this "H" signal is given as the reset input of flip-flop F2, flip-flop F2 is reset, thereby
After disabling the gate G4, the pulse oscillator 60
It is prohibited to provide the output pulse of 1 to the counter 521. In this way, when the pachinko ball hit enters the special prize hole 9, the player wins unconditionally.

On the other hand, when a pachinko ball hit by a player enters either the return command hole (fall hole) 11a or 11b, the return command detection switch 34a or 3
4b is closed, a reset signal is applied to the counter 521 via either switch 34a or 34b and OR gate G5, and the count value up to that point is reset to zero. Therefore, the display section of the first course 21 is turned off, and the driver is forced to start from the starting point again.

In the above description, as an example of the prize payout means, when the player wins (that is, when the display state of the first course 21 reaches the goal), the number of coins is paid out as a prize according to the number of horse length differences. Although the case has been described in which the number of coins is varied, it goes without saying that it is also possible to simply perform a first-come-first-served determination and control to pay out a predetermined number of coins only when the player wins. Further, although the case where coins are paid out as prizes has been described, the payout control of other valuable plants may be performed. In addition, in the above explanation, each time a pachinko ball passes through or falls into each of the passing area and the ball socket as the first specific area, the display on each display section of the first course is changed one frame at a time. As described above, points are assigned to each passing area or ball socket in advance, and the points given for each passing area or ball socket through which the pachinko ball passes are added to the counter 521, and each passing area or ball socket is given points in advance. The number of pieces advanced by the display unit may be varied by a different number depending on the passing area or the ball socket. This also applies to the passage areas 6a to 6i or the ball sockets 8a to 8g as the second specific areas.

As described above, according to this embodiment, by competing with virtual opponents while playing coin games, it is possible to play other games in which the winner or loser is decided, and the interest of the player is further increased. Ru. Furthermore, by using a horse racing course type display in which the first display means and the second display means are arranged in an elliptical or straight line, it is possible to immerse yourself in the excitement of horse racing while playing coin games. Furthermore, when a player wins against a virtual opponent, it becomes possible to obtain more prizes depending on how the player wins.
Furthermore, by providing a special prize ball in which the player automatically wins with one winning ball, the service provided to the player can be further improved.

As described above, according to the present invention, the passage area and the ball socket are provided in multiple stages in the vertical direction of the game board, and the passage area is provided at a position above the ball socket. The display state of the display means can be changed multiple times depending on the number of balls hit, the pachinko balls can be used effectively, and the fun of the game can be improved.
