Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to improvements in pachinko gaming machines.

In particular, the present invention provides a pachinko game machine that includes a variable winning ball device that has an opening that allows the winning state of pachinko balls to change between a first state that is advantageous for the player and a second state that is disadvantageous for the player. The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine in which the location of a specific area for changing the variable winning ball slot to a first state advantageous to the player is improved.

[Prior art] In a pachinko game machine, a machine scale equipped with a variable winning ball device that changes the difficulty level of the winning state allows anyone to play pachinko by changing the variable winning ball device into an advantageous state for the player. It is gaining popularity because it has the potential to yield 1 gram of balls.

By the way, in order to make the variable winning ball device advantageous for the player, the player has to make the pachinko ball win in a specific area where such conditions are determined. The specific area is placed in a place on the game board where it is relatively difficult for pachinko balls to win, and the pachinko balls have a relatively low probability of winning, making the variable winning ball arrangement advantageous for the player. It is meant to be.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, in the conventional device, regardless of whether the variable winning ball device is in a favorable or unfavorable state for the player, pachinko balls do not win in a specific area. It was possible to do so. In other words, even when the variable winning ball device was in an advantageous state, it was possible to win a winning ball in a specific area. However, if the variable player tR ball device is already in an advantageous state, even if a pachinko ball wins in a specific area, there is no particular benefit to the player because the variable winning ball device is already in an advantageous state. Rather, if a pachinko ball lands in a specific area in such a state, the game stone will psychologically think that even though the pachinko ball has landed in the specific area, the variable winning ball device is already in an advantageous state and it is a loss. I get the impression that. In fact, if the number of winning balls in a specific area is limited to a certain number, the number of balls that hit the specific area when the variable winning ball device is in the right-handed state will be within the fixed number, but the variable The winning ball is not in a right-handed state and is a numerator profit for the player.

Therefore, a pachinko gaming machine is desired in which such disadvantages to players are improved.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a pachinko game machine in which the placement position of the specific area is devised to make it impossible for pachinko balls to win in the specific area when the variable winning ball device is advantageous. .

In other words, this is an Iζ Pachinko M technique machine in which a specific area that makes the variable winning ball device advantageous when a pachinko ball wins or passes is provided in the gaming area between the variable winning ball device and the out ball entrance.

More preferably, it is a pachinko game machine in which a specific area is provided directly under the opening of the variable winning ball device.

[Effect] When the variable ball device is in the right-handed state and the frontage is listening, the pachinko balls falling from 1 and 2 are -
Win the prize with all four. Pachinko balls cannot win in the specific area provided under the frontage.

When the variable winning ball device is in a disadvantageous state, that is, when the frontage is open, 1. Pachinko balls falling from F are not obstructed by the opening and can enter the special prize area provided below.

[Examples] Examples of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the first variable prize winning ball Ff 30 has the game board 14 (first
A mounting board 34 is provided which is mounted so as to be substantially flush with the board surface of the board (see figure). On the front side of the mounting board 34,
A front decorative plate 36 is mounted parallel to the mounting board 34 at an interval that allows the ball to pass with plenty of time. The front plate 36 has a notch at the upper center thereof, and a horizontally long rectangular prize opening 38 is formed in the mounting board 34 portion located on the rear side thereof. and,
An opening/closing plate 40 that can open and open the winning hole is engaged with the winning hole 38.

(Particularly with reference to FIG. 3) On both left and right sides of the opening/closing plate 40, substantially triangular reinforcing members 42a and 42b are formed which protrude rearward at approximately right angles to the opening/closing plate 40. Both ends of the lower side of the opening/closing plate 40 are attached to the mounting dovetail plate 34,
It is rotatably held by a bottle 43. An engagement pin 44 is formed outside 11-1 of one reinforcing member 42b,
This engagement pin 44 includes an operating link 46, a connecting pin 48,
A plunger 1r54 of an attacker solenoid 52 is connected via a connecting member 50. Therefore, by turning on/off the attacker solenoid 52, the actuating link 46
rotates around the fulcrum 56, and the opening/closing plate 40 opens/closes.

Furthermore, the description of the first variable winning ball device 30 will be continued with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8.

Figure 4 shows the opening/closing plate 40tf of the first variable winning ball @30.
It is a front view of i closed state. Figure 5 shows the wAv of Figure 4.
-V is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the first variable winning ball device 30 attached to the game board 14.

Mainly referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, a specific winning hole 58, which is an example of a specific area in the claims, is formed directly below the center of the winning hole 38.

Specific winning opening 58/\The winning pachinko game P1 is
The d-balls are led to the back side of the game board 14 according to the gutter 60,
Winning ball Toai fil! i 62 at a predetermined location and processed. A specific winning ball detector 64 is arranged just inside the specific winning hole 58.

The specific winning ball detector 64 is thin and has a winning ball passing hole 66 so as not to obstruct the flow of the winning pachinko balls P1 from the specific winning opening 58 and to reliably detect the winning pachinko balls P1. It is said to be a detector for This detector 64 has a coil (not shown) around the winning ball passing hole 66, and connects the winning ball passing hole 66 to the pachinko ball P1.
This is a detector that detects specific winning balls by detecting changes in magnetic flux caused by the passing of balls.

When the opening/closing board 40 is in the closed state, the pachinko balls falling near the center of the variable winning ball support 30 cannot enter the winning opening 38 closed by the opening/closing board 40, It falls along the front surface of the plate 40. One of these days,
The pachinko ball P1 that falls exactly in the center enters the special winning hole 58, and the other pachinko balls continue to fall further downward.

When a pachinko ball P1 wins a specific winning prize 058 and it is detected by the specific winning ball detector 64, in this embodiment, the opening/closing plate 40 of the first variable winning ball device 30 is activated for a predetermined period (a certain period of time). (for example, 10 seconds) or until a fixed number of pachinko balls (for example, 10 pieces) enter the prize 038, whichever comes first) r! The value of becoming @ arises.

FIG. 6 is a front view of the first variable winning ball device 30 with the opening/closing plate 40 in a closed state. FIG. 7 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view taken along W-V[ of FIG. 6, in which the first variable winning ball device 30 is
It is depicted as being attached to 4. Furthermore, FIG. 8 is a rear view of the first variable winning ball support 30 with the opening/closing plate 40 in the closed state.

Referring primarily to FIGS. 6 to 8, when the opening/closing plate 40 is in the closed state, the pachinko machine P2 falling from above (particularly as shown in FIG. 7) rotates forward by approximately 45 degrees. It is received by the opening/closing plate 40 and guided to the winning opening 38. Therefore, pachinko players P2 cannot win into the specific winning opening 58 located directly below the opening/closing plate 40. As described above, the first aspect of the present application is that the specific winning hole 58 is provided in a position where pachinko players can win when the opening/closing board 40 is closed, and where pachinko machines cannot win when the opening/closing board 40 is open. This is the most significant feature of the invention.

Pachinkoni P2 that won prize 038 is attached to the mounting board 34.
The balls are guided by the winning ball collection cover 08 (see FIG. 2) provided on the back side of the ball and the collection tJi70.72, and are given to the winning ball number detector 72. The winning ball number detector 72 detects the pachinko machine P2 that has won from the winning hole 38. The detection output is used as a processing signal for closing the opening/closing plate 40, etc., as described later.

In addition, in any one of FIGS. 2 to 8, winning lowers 48.74b are formed on both left and right sides of the winning opening 38, which are sandwiched between the mounting board 34 and the front decorative plate 36. Furthermore, lamp decoration plates 76a and 76b are provided at both left and right ends of the front decoration plate 36. lamp plaque 7
Lamps 78a and 78b are built into the back sides of 6a and 76b. Therefore, when the lamps 78a, 78b are lit or blinked, the lamp decoration plates 76a, 76b are lit or blinked, helping to enliven the atmosphere of the game. Further, in FIGS. 5 and 7, 80a and 80b are glass plates arranged on the front side of the game board 14, 82 is an obstacle nail, and 84 is a mechanism plate.

FIG. 9 is a front view showing another embodiment of the first variable winning ball device 30, in which the opening/closing plate 40 is shown in a closed state. The feature of the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is that there are two specific winning holes 58, 58a and 58b, provided on the lower side of the winning hole 38, and each specific winning hole 58a is provided on the surface of the opening/closing plate 400.
, 58b Ball guiding protrusion 86a for exclusive use of heavy balls,
86b was formed. The reason why the ball guide protrusions 85a and 86b are formed in this way is as follows.

As is well known, an obstacle nail is placed just above each winning hole in a pachinko game machine to adjust the winning of pachinko into that winning hole. The adjustment of the obstacle nail directly above the winning opening is different for each pachinko game machine, and there are game machines that have so-called easy nail adjustment and game machines that have difficult nail adjustment. On the other hand, if the obstacle nail is placed directly above the winning opening, it will be useful for adjusting the pitch of the pachinko machine into the winning hole, and if the winning opening and the obstacle nail are far apart, the obstacle nail will not function properly! 7 no. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, a freely openable and closable opening/closing plate 40 is arranged above the two specific winning holes 58a, 58b, and the specific winning holes 58a, 58
The only option is to install an obstacle nail above the temporary 40 for pachinko players to adjust the difficulty level of winning pachinko to b. However, the obstacle nail 82 and the specific prize opening 58a, 5
8b, the obstacle nail 82 cannot work effectively.

Particularly, as in this embodiment, when two specific winning holes 58 are provided to create a variable winning ball system that attracts players' interest, the obstacle nails 82 need to function effectively. Therefore, in this embodiment, the 0 balls on the board surface of the rmrjJ board 40, the llt guiding protrusions 86a and 86b are formed, and the specific winning opening 58a,
The same effect as when 58b is located directly below the obstacle nail 82 can be obtained. As a result, the obstacle nail 82
Even though a plurality of specific winning openings 58 are provided, the number of tR balls entering the specific winning opening is extremely increased compared to the case where there is only one specific winning opening 058. It is possible to do 1 so that there is no problem.

As a result, on the pachinko hall side, a pachinko game machine equipped with the first variable prize winning ball fJ30, which has a large effect on attracting customers, can be installed, and on the other hand, a plurality of specific winning holes 58 (two ), it is possible to create a pachinko game machine that psychologically gives the impression that the first variable winning ball device 30 is easily led to a right-handed state.

In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 9, it was set as the structure which provided two specific winning a prize openings 58, but it is good also as three or more.

Further, in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 to 8 described above, the non-guidance protrusion 86 is not provided on the surface of the opening/closing plate 40, but the non-guidance protrusion 86 is provided as necessary, and the obstruction nail 82 The difficulty level of winning pachinko balls according to Ilk! ! Of course, any possible configuration may be possible.

In the description of each embodiment mentioned above, the specific winning a prize opening 58 is formed directly under the opening/closing plate 40, and the first variable winning ball device 3
I explained about what was integrated with 0. However, it should be pointed out that the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and includes a case where the specific winning hole 58 is separate from the first variable winning ball device 30. In other words, specific winning opening 5
8 may be provided in the gaming area below the winning hole 38 of the first variable winning ball device 30 and above the out ball entrance 28.

10 to 15 are diagrams for explaining the structure and function of the second variable winning ball device 32 described in FIG. 1. The second variable winning ball device 32 will be explained below with reference to these figures.

FIG. 10 is a perspective view for explaining the structure of the second variable winning ball device 32. Referring to FIG. 10, the second variable prize winning ball device 32 includes a substantially circular mounting board 88 that is attached to the game board 14 (see FIG. 1), and has a mounting board 88 on the lower front surface when viewed from the front. Ball guide shelf 9 that looks circular in the lower half

If a pachinko ball falls when 94 is in a state as shown in FIG. This is a winning ffD.

1411 is a front view of the variable winning ball device 32 in FIG. 10, and FIG. 12 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along the line xu-xrt in FIG. There is. In FIG. 11, lamps 104a and 104b are buried above the winning holes 92a and 92b, respectively, to enliven the atmosphere of the game by lighting them up. In addition, in FIG. 10 or FIG. 12, 106 is a drive motor shaft, and 108 is a connecting member for coupling the drive motor shaft 106 and the rotary suction cup 94.

FIG. 13 is a front view of the rotary suction cup 94 when it is facing right sideways, that is, when the convex circumferential surfaces 98a and 98b are located on the left and right sides, respectively. FIG. 3 is a front view showing a state where the camera is tilted at 45 degrees to the upper left or upper right. With reference to FIGS. 13 to 15, the relationship between the position of the rotary suction cup 94 and the winning hole through which the winning pachinko balls are guided to the second variable winning ball device 32 will be described. When a pachinko ball wins when the rotary drum 5J94 is shown in FIG. In addition, in this state, the pachinko ball P

If a pachinko ball falls when the convex circumferential surfaces 98a or 98b of 4 are vertically positioned vertically, the pachinko ball is guided to a specific winning hole 100.

FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the structure of the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment. Among the winning holes of the second variable winning ball armor 32, the pachinko balls that have won in the specific winning ITI 110 are led to the winning ball detector 112, detected, and then processed by the winning ball processor 114. on the other hand,
Pachinko balls that have won into the winning holes 92a and 92b are not guided to the winning ball detector 112, but are processed by the winning ball processor 114. The detection output detected by the winning J detector 112 is used as a control signal to be described later.

In addition, in FIG. 16, 116 is a ball feed lever for sending pachinko balls to the ball launch position, 118 is a batting rod for hitting pachinko balls one by one, and 120 is a batting rod 11.
8, and these are already well-known members in pachinko gaming machines.

The second invention of the present application is a second variable winning ball system k.
A specific winning hole of M32 100 Hepachinko balls has been won, there is a detection output of the winning ball detector 112 (see Fig. 16), and a specific winning hole of the first variable winning ball mounting mushroom 30 (see Fig. 5) has been entered. A pachinko ball enters 58, and the specific winning ball detector 64
When the two conditions that there is an output are met, the first variable winning ball v! This invention aims to open the opening/closing plate 40 of 130 and control the game to a first state that is advantageous to the player.

Next, the drive control circuit for such game control will be explained with reference mainly to FIG. 17.

When the power of the pachinko game machine 10 (see FIG. 1) is turned on, the drive motor 96 (see FIG. 11 or 12) is driven by the power supply circuit 122, and the rotary switch 94 is slowly and constantly rotated. . Also, power is supplied to the control circuit. At this time, an initial setting pulse is derived from the power-on initial setting circuit 124, and the initial time setting circuit 126, the number of starts counting circuit 128, and the holding circuits 130 and 132 are each reset for initialization.

When the player starts playing, the pachinko ball that he hits and fires is the second pachinko ball.
Specific winning opening 10 of the variable winning ball armor 32 (see Figure 1)
0 (see Figure 11), the winning ball detector 112
(See Figure 16). Accordingly, the output of the winning circuit 134 falls from a high level (hereinafter referred to as rHJ) to a low level (hereinafter referred to as "1-"), and a 1 pulse from the Nant gate 136 is applied to the C of the holding circuit 130.
given to the terminal. Therefore, the output of the holding circuit 130 is inverted, and the Q output becomes L and the Q output becomes L. Holding circuit 1
The Q output 1 of 30 is applied to right generation/extinguishment lamps 4.3a and 43b (see FIG. 1) via an AND gate 138. An output from the frequency dividing circuit 140 which outputs a predetermined frequency divided output of 1 is also given to the right generation/extinction lamps 43a and 43b via an AND gate 138. Therefore, when a pachinko ball enters the specific winning hole 100 (see FIG. 11), the rights generation/extinction lamps 43a and 43b start blinking at a period determined by the frequency division output.

By flashing the N issue occurrence/extinguishment lamps 43a and 43b, the player is in the right generation state, in other words, the specific winning hole 58 for opening the opening/closing plate 40 of the first variable winning ball device 30 (see FIG. 4) is activated. You can know that it is ready for operation.

In this state, when a pachinko ball enters the specific winning hole 58 (see Figure 4), the specific winning ball detector 64 (see Figure 5)
It is detected, and the output of the starting winning circuit 1/12 becomes 1-
fall into. Therefore, an H pulse is sent from the lead gate 144 to the C terminal of the holding circuit 132! I can get it. When the right is generated, the holding circuit 132 is connected to the holding circuit 132.
Since the Q output 1 of 0 is given, the holding circuit 132
When an H pulse is applied to its terminal, the output is inverted, the Q output becomes 1], and the Φ output becomes L. The Q output 1 of the holding circuit 132 is given as the δ1 number input of the start count circuit 128 and the let input of the time setting interval ff1l 26. Therefore, the number of starts counting circuit 128 counts the number of starts "1". Further, the time setting circuit 126
It is set to clock a predetermined time, for example 10 seconds. Further, the 0 output from the holding circuit 132 is inverted by the inverter 146 and becomes 1, turning on the actuator solenoid 52 (see FIG. 2). By turning on the actuator solenoid 52, the opening/closing plate 40 of the variable winning ball support 30 is turned on.
is opened, and there are 1 m of pachinko balls in the first winning opening 38 that can be won. At the same time, the Q output of the holding circuit 132 is inverted by the inverter 148 to become T1, which lights up the attacker opening lamps 78a and 78b (see FIG. 8).

Two lamps 78 provided on this variable winning ball device 30
The lighting of a and 78b enlivens the atmosphere of the game and invites the players.

When the opening/closing plate 40 of the first variable winning ball device 30 is in the closed state, it is possible for a pachinko ball with a very high probability to enter the winning hole 38. The winning pachinko balls from the winning opening 38 are detected by the winning ball number detector 72, and the output of the 10 count winning circuit 150 drops to 1 accordingly. Therefore, a 1'' pulse is given to the counting circuit 154 from the Nant gate 152,
A counting circuit 154 counts the number of winning balls. Counting circuit 15
4, when the count value becomes ``10'', 1 is output as Q output.
-1 pulse is output. Q output 1-1
is connected to the holding circuit 132 via OR gates 156 and 158.
is given as a reset signal. As a result, the holding circuit 132 is reset, its Q output is inverted to L, and the Q output is inverted to ]. Therefore, the actuator solenoid 52a3 and the attacker opening lamps 78a and 78b, which had been turned on by the O output, are turned off, and the variable winning ball! The opening/closing plate 40 of the device 30 is closed, and the lamps 78a and 78b are turned off.

On the other hand, if 10 seconds elapse before 10 pachinko balls enter the winning hole 38 of the first variable winning ball device 30, a reset signal is given from the time setting circuit 126 to the frequency dividing circuit 140. Accordingly, a pulse is derived from the Ql, Q3 output of the frequency divider circuit 140, and the AND gate 162. A relet pulse is given to the holding circuit 132 via the OR game 1-156.158.

In this way, the opening/closing plate 40 is changed depending on whether 10 pachinko balls win the prize 038 of the first variable winning ball device 30 or 10 seconds have passed since the opening/closing plate 40 was opened, whichever comes first. is closed. By limiting the number of prize winning balls or the opening time, it is possible to provide a Bajinko gaming machine that can provide fairer and more equalized services to players.

As the opening/closing plate 40 is opened, the specific winning opening 58 (see FIG. 4) provided directly below the opening/closing plate 40 becomes able to receive pachinko balls again. If no pachinko ball has won in the specific winning hole 100 of the second variable winning ball device 32 (highlighted in FIG. 11) after the rights are generated, the output of the holding circuit 130 does not change, so the D terminal of the holding circuit 132 This means that the signal continues to be applied. Therefore, specific winning opening 5
When a pachinko ball wins again on the 8th, the output of the holding circuit 132 is reversed, the actuator solenoid 52 is turned on, and the attacker opening lamp 78a is turned on in the same way as described above.

78b is lit. In addition, the Q output 1 of the holding circuit 132
”, the first shift of the start counting circuit 128 is “2”.
becomes.

In this way, when a pachinko ball enters the specific winning hole 58 in the right generation state, the variable winning ball device 30
The operation of opening/closing #I40 of opening and closing when 10 pachinko balls are won or 10 seconds have elapsed, whichever comes first, can be repeated continuously up to eight times.

When the count value of the starting number counting circuit 128 becomes "8", a (-1 pulse is derived from the starting number counting circuit 128 and is given as a reset signal to the holding circuit 130 via the OR gate 160. Therefore, the holding circuit 130 is reset and its Q output becomes L. Therefore, the input to the D terminal of the holding circuit 132 becomes positive, and in this state,
Even if an H pulse is applied to the C terminal of the holding circuit 132, the output of the holding circuit 132 is not inverted.

On the other hand, when a pachinko ball enters the specific winning hole 100 of the second variable winning ball device 32 in the rights generation state, the state changes to the rights extinguished state. Even if a pachinko ball enters the specific winning hole 58 after that, the opening/closing plate 4o of the variable winning ball device 30 of 'X51 is not opened.

That is, when a pachinko ball enters the specific winning slot 100 in the rights generation state, the rights generation extinguishment winning circuit 134
The output becomes L again, and a high level pulse is derived from the Nant gate 136. Therefore, the output of the holding circuit 130 is inverted, and the Q output becomes T1. In response, the rights generation/extinguishment lamps 43a, 431) stop blinking and turn off, and a reset signal is given from the start count reset circuit 164 to the start count circuit 128.

Further, the Q output of the holding circuit 130 is given to the D input terminal of the holding circuit 132. Therefore, the holding circuit 132

The output state of the holding circuit 132 does not change even if a pulse is applied to the C terminal of the holding circuit 132 via the OR gate 174.On the other hand, the output state of the holding circuit 132 does not change. Three H pulses are given to the starting winning memory display 7L! Therefore, the count value of the starting winning prize memory circuit 164 becomes "3", and the counting value is sent to the starting winning winning memory display 7L! segment via the conversion circuit 166.7 segment drive circuit 168. The display is displayed on the LED 170 (see FIG. 1).The display device is not limited to such seven segments, but may be eight light emitting diodes.

This display allows the player to know when the opening/closing plate 40 is closed.
Furthermore, knowing that there are three more openings, the player can realize that he is not at a disadvantage, and can become absorbed in the game.

When the opening/closing plate 40 is opened, the output of the holding circuit 132 is reversed. Then, when the Q output of the holding circuit 132 is reversed from ]'' to L, an H pulse is derived from the starting opening winning memory circuit 164 based on it, and the delay and one shot circuit 1
76, a 1'' pulse is applied to the C input terminal of the holding circuit 132 via the OR gate 174. Accordingly, holding circuit 1
The output of 32 is inverted, the Q output becomes H, and the Φ output becomes L. This Q output 1-1 causes the starting opening winning memory circuit 164
