Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a pachinko game machine, and in particular, a game board is formed with a winning area, and when a pachinko ball enters the winning area, a predetermined number of pachinko balls are played. In a pachinko machine that pays out prize balls, the ball payout rate can be increased by providing a winning f[ area where the number of prize balls is relatively small and a winning 'R area where the number of prize balls is relatively large depending on the winning fR area. This is a pachinko game machine in which the rate of winning of game balls in a predetermined specific winning area can be increased without increasing the rate of winning, and the interest of 1M tricks can be increased.

[Prior Art] FIG. 11 is a front view showing the structure of the main part of the game board of a conventional pachinko game machine that is interesting to the present invention.
-294982.

Referring to FIG. 11, the gaming operation of the conventional pachinko gaming machine will be explained.

Some of the pachinko balls hit on the game board fall as indicated by arrows Δ, B, C, D, E, and F.

Among these, the pachinko balls that fall as shown by arrows E and F enter the specific winning hole 1. The pachinko balls that have won into the specific winning hole 1 are sorted by a winning ball sorter H2, and some of them are dropped into the right-generating winning hole 3 and detected by the right-generating winning ball detection switch 4. Based on the signal from the rights generation winning ball detection switch 4, the pachinko game machine enters the rights generation state and the variable player prize ball equipment @5 is enabled.

Among the pachinko balls distributed by the winning ball distribution device 2, the pachinko balls that do not enter the right-generating winning hole 3 enter the normal winning hole 8.

When a pachinko ball enters the right generation winning hole 3 and the normal winning hole 8, a prize ball payout device (not shown) is driven, and for example, 13 prize balls are paid out for each winning ball.

In the right generation state, when a pachinko ball enters the starting winning hole 6a or 6b, the winning ball is detected by the starting winning ball detection switch 7a or 7b.

In response to this detection signal, the opening/closing plate 9 of the variable winning ball device 5 is opened for a predetermined period of time. Here, the predetermined period is a period until 10 pachinko balls land in the opening that appears when the opening/closing plate 9 is opened or until 10 seconds, whichever comes first.

In the right generation state, when a pachinko ball enters the starting winning hole 6a or 6b, the m-plate 9 of the variable payout ball device 5 is repeatedly opened for a predetermined period of time.

Normally, the extinguishment of the rights generation state occurs when a pachinko ball enters the above-mentioned specified winning slot 1, and the winning ball distribution 1i! This happens when the prize is distributed in the i-place 2 and the prize is entered into the right-generating prize hole 3. In other words, the right is extinguished when a pachinko ball enters the same right generation winning hole 3 as when the right was generated. In this way, the creation and extinguishment of rights occur under equal conditions. In addition, as a special case, starting prize openings 6a, 6b
The right also expires when the number of winning pachinko balls reaches eight.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In this type of pachinko gaming machine, whether or not it is a gaming machine that is likely to be in a state where rights are generated is as follows.
It is greatly related to the attractiveness to players and Tl4BA. This is because in the state where rights are generated, the starting winning hole 6a,
When a pachinko ball enters the hole 6b, the opening/closing plate 9 is activated, making it very easy to win the pachinko ball, which provides an extremely large gaming value.However, in the state where no rights have been generated, the starting prize hole 6a, (3b This is because it only functions as a winning hole and lacks the appeal of the game.

Therefore, on the pachinko hall side, it is preferable to use a pachinko game machine that is likely to generate rights, and such a pachinko game machine is also attractive to players.

Therefore, a pachinko game machine can be considered that makes it easier for pachinko balls to enter the special winning hole 1 that guides the pachinko balls to the right-generating winning hole 3 or the normal winning hole 8. However, if the pachinko ball is simply made easier to enter into the special winning hole 1, each time a pachinko ball enters the special winning hole 1 and is guided to the right-generating winning hole 3 or the normal winning hole 8, for example, 13 Pachinko balls are paid out as prize balls, and before giving a large gaming value to the game Akane due to the rights generation state, balls paid out due to a high winning ratio of pachinko balls to specific winning opening 1. The disadvantage is that the improvement in the rate results in pachinko machines becoming unsuitable for actual business conditions, which is undesirable for Bajinko halls.

Therefore, in a pachinko game machine in which a plurality of winning areas are provided on the game board, the present invention relates to the payout of m-quality balls that is performed when a pachinko ball enters a predetermined specific winning area. A pachinko game machine that adjusts the ball payout rate and increases the fun of the game by paying out a relatively small number of prize balls compared to the number of m-quality balls that are paid out when a ball enters the slot. is intended to provide.

In addition, as conventional similar technologies, there are Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 56-45681 and 1983-80279@, etc., and the applicant of the present application has proposed a pachinko game machine in which the number of prize balls paid out is changed depending on the winning hole. has already been proposed by.

The present invention is an invention that differs from the above-mentioned previously proposed pachinko gaming machines in terms of purpose, structure, and effects.

Means for Solving Problem E] This invention provides a separate gaming device arranged on a game board and a predetermined gaming value when a pachinko ball wins when the separate gaming device is in a predetermined state. a first prize ball payout means for paying out a relatively small number of prize balls in response to pachinko balls winning in the specific winning area; and a specific winning area. A second prize ball dispensing means for dispensing a relatively large number of m-quality balls in response to pachinko balls winning in a winning area other than the winning area.

[Effect] Even if it is easy for pachinko balls to enter a specific winning area, depending on the number of pachinko balls entering the specific winning area, the number of pachinko balls entering a normal winning area may be relatively large. The prize balls are not paid out, and the winning pachinko balls are returned as prize balls as they are, or only a relatively small number of prize balls are paid out. Therefore, even if pachinko balls frequently enter the specific player 1s area, the ball output rate of the pachinko game machine as a whole hardly improves.

On the other hand, since it is easy for pachinko balls to enter a specific winning area, a specific game 1iIIIi value is more likely to occur when a right is generated or lost, making it possible to make the game machine full of appeal.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko game machine 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This pachinko game machine 10 includes a variable winning ball Vi112, a specific winning hole 14, and a starting winning hole'.
16, and when a pachinko ball enters a specific winning hole 14 at a predetermined timing, a right is generated or an existing right is extinguished. In the right generation state, when a pachinko ball enters the starting winning hole 16, the opening/closing plate 18 of the variable winning ball device 12 is activated for a certain period of time, for example, until 10 pachinko balls are won or until 10 seconds, whichever comes first, expires. develop.

The creation and extinguishment of rights occur based on the following conditions: That is, the variable display 20 of the variable winning ball device 12
consists of three digital displays, and each of these displays independently displays "1" to r9J rOJ
The display is changing slowly. While playing pachinko,
When a pachinko ball enters the specific winning hole 14, if the display on the left end of the variable display 20 happens to be "7", a right is generated. In addition, during the rights generation, specific winning hole 1
The system is such that if a 4-hepachinko ball is won and the left end display of the variable display 20 is "A", the right is forfeited.

In the right generation state, the starting winning hole 16 has the function of opening the 1FllrII board 18 in addition to the function as a normal winning hole.

In addition, in this embodiment, the variable display device 20 initially determines whether or not the leftmost display device is displaying [7] at the timing when the pachinko ball enters the specific winning hole 14. The next thing involved in the generation of rights is the central display of the variable display 20, and when this display is either r3J or r7J, the special winning hole 14 pachinko Rights arise or disappear when the ball lands. Next, the display section of the variable display 20 that is involved in the generation of rights moves to the rightmost display section, and when either r3J f5J r7J is displayed on the rightmost display section, the specific winning hole 14 hepachinko ball is displayed. Enter T!
This is a structure in which rights arise or expire by t.

In other words, when the display timing of the leftmost display of the variable display device 20 and the winning timing of the pachinko ball in the specific winning hole 14 match, and a right is generated and extinguished, a display related to the next right generation and extinguishment is displayed. The container serves as an indicator in the center, and the indicator on the right side is involved in the next generation and extinguishment of rights, and is designed to gradually make it easier for rights to accrue or for rights to be extinguished. . Therefore, once a right is generated by the leftmost display of the variable display units 20, the player can obtain conditions that make the right more likely to occur next time, so that the player can enjoy the game even more. Note that after a right is generated based on the rightmost display of the variable display 2o and the right is extinguished, the leftmost display will again be involved in the generation of rights next.

The feature of this pachinko game machine 10 is that, as shown by the dashed line, the pachinko balls that have won into the specific winning hole 14 are placed in the ball receiving tray 22.
This is because a ball return passage 24 is provided to guide the ball to the ball. The ball return passage 24 is provided on the back side of the game board of the pachinko game R10 and is not visible from the front side, so it is shown here with a chain line.

Note that the ball return passage 24 may guide the pachinko balls that have entered the specific winning hole 14 to the batted ball supply tray 28 through the first discharge port 26.

In short, the pachinko balls that enter the special winning hole 14 do not pay out prize balls in the same way as when pachinko balls enter the normal winning hole, and the pachinko balls that enter the special winning hole 14 are returned to the player again. The fact that it is configured so that it is returned to
This is one of the features of the pachinko game machine 10 of this embodiment.

In addition, in this example, only one specific winning hole 14 is provided, but if there are multiple specific winning holes,
The above configuration may be applied to any one of them.

FIG. 2 is a rear view of the pachinko game 1110, showing the structure of the mechanism board.

Referring to FIG. 2, the pachinko balls that have entered the specific winning hole 14 (FIG. 1) are guided to the back side of the game board through the communication hole 30, and at the same time are detected by the ball detection switch 32. The detected pachinko balls are guided through the ball return path 24, which is one of the features of this embodiment, and fall, and are returned to the ball tray 22 (see FIG. 1) on the front side of the game board.

The pachinko balls that have won into winning holes other than the specific winning hole 14 are collected in a winning ball east 134, guided, and given to a winning ball processor 36 one by one.

Then, the prize ball dispensing device 38 is driven by the action of the winning ball processing device 36 and the like, and the prize ball dispensing device 38 is driven to receive, for example, 13 points per winning ball.
This is a system in which prize balls are paid out.

In addition, in FIG. 2, 40 is a starting winning ball detection switch for detecting pachinko balls that have entered the starting winning hole 16;
42 is the opening/closing plate 18 of the variable winning ball device 12 (see Figure 1)
This is a solenoid for opening.

In the pachinko game machine 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention described in detail above, the pachinko balls that have won into the specific winning hole 14 are sent to the contribution ball collection gutter 34 as in the conventional pachinko game machine.
Instead of being guided by and given to the winning ball processor 36,
The ball is guided through the ball return passage 24 and returned to the ball receiving tray 22. Therefore, when a pachinko ball enters the specific winning hole 14, the prize ball payout device 38 is not driven, and the payout rate does not increase, so the percentage of pachinko balls entering the specific winning hole 14 is increased. Is possible. As a result, rights can be generated and extinguished frequently, and the player can enjoy the real thrill of the game through a great gaming value that cannot be obtained in a normal pachinko game. In other words, the game machine can be extremely interesting.

In the above embodiment, the variable display device 20 of the variable winning ball device 12

If the motor 164 is rotated at a predetermined angle or for a predetermined time based on the detection signal for a specific prize, and the upper feed dog di62 is rotated at a predetermined angle or for a predetermined time, a desired number of pachinko balls are ejected from the upstream end of the ascending path 160. and can be paid out as heavy items. The number of prize balls to be paid out at this time is detected by the prize ball release detection switch 166.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, a pachinko machine is borrowed when playing a game, and the game is played using the pachinko machine. The medium may be applied to a pachinko game machine so that games can be played on the pachinko machine built into the pachinko game machine.

[Effect 1 of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the game content can be made more interesting without changing the payout rate of the pachinko game machine.

In particular, in a game board in which a specific winning hole that generates a specific gaming value is provided, even if the game board is configured so that it is easy for the player to enter the specific winning hole, the number of prize balls that will be paid out will be 5 r. Since the number of winnings in the area can be smaller than that on a pachinko machine, the game value associated with winning on a pachinko machine in a specific winning hole can be easily given, and the fun of the game can be increased. On the other hand, since the payout rate of the winning balls can be set almost the same as the conventional one, it is possible for the amusement hall to provide a gaming machine that is highly effective at attracting customers and has a high profit margin, and for the players it is more interesting. We can provide appealing gaming machines.
