Description

Medal organic group {MEDAL GAME MACHINE}

The present invention relates to a medal organic machine installed in a game center or the like, and more particularly, a medal mount having a medal mount surface for mounting a plurality of medals, and another portion on the medal mount surface for medals existing on a portion of the medal mount surface. The invention relates to a medal organic machine including a medal extruded member which reciprocates relative to the medal mounting surface so as to be extruded to the side, and a medal collecting means for recovering the medal extruded by the medal extruded member.

As such a medal organic machine, a game machine called a medal drop game machine or a pusher machine is known. This pusher game machine has a structure in which a flat field surface (medal mounting surface) on which a large number of medals have been previously deposited, and a block-shaped medal pusher (medal extrusion member) relatively reciprocate in a constant stroke. Thereby, the medal which exists in the field surface part in which the medal pusher retreated back is extruded by the extrusion surface of the medal pusher, and the field surface part becomes a state without a medal. Therefore, for example, when the instructor puts the medal at an appropriate point on the field surface after the medal pusher has retreated backward, the medal is pushed out by the medal pusher the next time the medal pusher returns. The medal extruded in this way extrudes the medal deposited on the field surface and falls into the medal drop groove outside the field surface in the extrusion direction. And the medal which fell to the medal drop groove is paid to an organic person.

In conventional pusher game machines, various tastes have been studied in order to attract the interest of the owner. As one of them, for example, a medal passage regulating member called a comb-shaped medal chuck is formed in the play field. This metal chucker has a plurality of slits (medal passages) formed between the comb teeth, and is formed on the extruded surface of the medal pusher. In such a configuration, the owner can play a game in which the medal is put on the field surface after the medal pusher has retreated back, roll the field surface, and put it in the slit of the medal chucker. Moreover, in such a pusher game machine, when the medal put into the slit of the medal chucker enters into a slit of a medal chucker, for example, when the winner starts and wins the lottery, the award is given to the owner. Therefore, it is possible to increase the organicity of the game in which the player aims for the medal to be used to obtain the privilege to pass through the slit.

However, in the conventional pusher game machine, although it has various tastes as mentioned above, a game advances according to the trend of medals, such as a medal deposited on the field surface or a medal put in by an organic person. That is, since the games provided by the conventional pusher game machine were all played based on the trend of medals, there was a problem that novel organicity could not be provided.

This invention is made | formed in view of the said problem, Comprising: It aims at providing a medal organic group which can provide an organic person with novel organic property which cannot be tasted with the conventional pusher game machine.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 includes a medal mount having a medal mount surface on which a plurality of medals are mounted; A medal extrusion member relatively reciprocating relative to the medal mounting surface to follow the portion so as to extrude a medal present at a portion on the medal mounting surface to another side on the medal mounting surface; A first game comprising a collecting means for recovering a medal extruded out of the medal mounting surface by a medal extruded by the medal extruder, and executing a first game for obtaining a medal recovered by the medal collecting means; An execution unit; A second game execution unit that executes a second game different from the first game; Release material supply means for supplying a release material on the medal mounting surface, the release material having a shape different from the medal and being able to escape from the medal mounting surface; It is characterized by the medal organic group provided with the release object conveyance means which conveys the said release object which escaped from the said medal mounting surface to the said 2nd game execution part.

In this medal organic machine, when a medal is put in a part on a medal mounting surface, for example by injecting a medal by an organic person, the medal is extruded by the medal extrusion member to the other part side of the medal mounting surface. And the medal extruded out of the medal mounting surface by the medal extruded by this medal extrusion member is collect | recovered by medal collection means. The medal recovered by this medal collecting means may be provided to the owner as it is, or may be used for other game purposes. Such a configuration can be applied to a so-called pusher game machine. Here, in this medal organic group, a release material having a shape different from the medal is supplied by the release material supply means on the medal mounting surface. Therefore, it is possible to provide an organic that pays attention to various tastes based on the trend of the release product supplied on the medal mounting surface.

Moreover, depending on the dimension and shape of a release object, since the release object exists on a medal mounting surface with a medal, it will be easy to extrude the medal out of a medal mounting surface. That is, for example, in the case where the mold is a block member having a larger dimension than the medal, when the block member is extruded by the medal extruded by the medal extruded member, the amount of movement of the medal extruded by the block member is transferred to the medal. It becomes large compared with the moving amount at the time of extrusion. Therefore, the medal on the medal mounting surface is easily extruded out of the medal mounting surface, and the medal is easily recovered by the medal collecting means. As a result, the organic person is likely to receive privilege such as obtaining a medal recovered by the medal collecting means.

Moreover, the invention of Claim 2 is a medal organic group of Claim 1 WHEREIN: The said release object is a spherical object, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

As a shape of a mold release object, various considerations can be considered according to the usage method etc. of the mold release material. For example, when the medal is intended to be easily recovered by the medal collecting means, a block member having a wide cuboid shape or the like on which the medal can be extruded may be used as the release object. However, in the case of providing various games based on the trend of the release object, such block members and the like simply predict the movement of the block members and the like, and the organicity is impaired. Therefore, in this medal organic group, a spherical object is used as a release object. According to such a release object of a spherical object, when a release object is supplied on a medal mounting surface, it rolls and moves according to the deposit degree of a medal on the medal mounting surface, etc., for example. Thus, the organics become difficult to predict the trend of the releases.

In addition, the invention according to claim 3 has a supply determination means for determining that the mold release device is to be supplied by the release material supply means according to a predetermined supply condition in the medal organic group according to claim 1 or 2. The mold release material supply means supplies the mold release product when it is determined as described above by the supply determination means.

In this medal organic group, it is determined by the supply determining means whether or not to supply the release product by the release material supply means. Therefore, the release product is not supplied on the medal mounting surface unless it is determined that the supply is made by the supply determining means. The supply conditions for determining the purpose of supply by the supply determining means are various considerations, for example, the number of medals used by the organic player has reached a predetermined number, and the number of medals recovered by the medal collection means is determined to the predetermined number. What has been reached etc. are mentioned. Moreover, when the medal put in by an organic person enters into the slit of a medal chucker like the conventional pusher game machine, when it has a lottery apparatus which draws, it can also be made into supply conditions.

Moreover, in invention of Claim 4, in the medal organic group of Claim 3, the said supply determination means has a supply lottery means which draws whether or not the said release object is to be supplied by the said release object supply means, and this supply lottery is carried out. The present invention is characterized in that a determination is made by supplying the mold release product with the above supply conditions for obtaining the result of the drawing for supplying the mold release product by means of lottery.

In this medal organic group, whether to supply a mold release product by a mold release material supply means is determined by a drawing by a supply lottery means. Therefore, in order for an organic person to obtain the benefit of supplying a release product, it is necessary to obtain the result of the lottery which supplies the release object by this lottery. In addition, the start conditions of the lottery by the supply lottery means can be variously considered in addition to the lottery start conditions of the conventional pusher game machine having a lottery apparatus.

In addition, the invention described in claim 5, in the medal organic device of claim 4, medal delivery means for sending the medal put into the medal slot, into the play field where the medal mounting surface is present, and formed in the play field, and the medal is sent out. A medal passing control member having a medal passage opening through which the medal sent by the means can pass, and medal detection means for detecting a medal passing through the medal passage opening of the medal passage regulating member, and the supply lottery means includes: When the medal is detected by the medal detecting means, the lottery is performed.

In the medal organic machine, the medal put into the medal slot is sent out into the play field by the medal dispensing means, and when the medal passes through the medal pass of the metal passage restricting member formed in the play field, the medal is detected by the medal detecting means. Is detected. In this medal organic machine, when a medal is detected by a medal detection means, the lottery by the said supply lottery means is performed. In other words, passing of the medal through the passage opening is a starting condition for the drawing by the supply drawing means.

The invention according to claim 6 is, in the medal organic device of claim 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, the second game execution unit draws a lottery apparatus by drawing a moving object for lottery, and lottery of the lottery apparatus. Based on the result, it is provided with the lottery privilege granting means which gives a privilege to an organic person, The said lottery apparatus is characterized by using the release object conveyed by the said release object conveying means as a lottery moving object.

In this medal organic machine, a lottery apparatus for lottery is provided by moving a moving object for lottery, and based on the result of the lottery, the lottery privilege is granted to the owner by the lottery privilege granting means. As this privilege, various considerations can be taken, such as providing the medalist with the number of tickets according to the result of the drawing of the lottery apparatus, or making the medal on the medal mounting surface easily recoverable by the medal collecting means. Here, in this medal organic machine, when the release object supplied on the medal mounting surface met predetermined lottery conditions, the release object is conveyed to a lottery apparatus by a release object conveyance means, and the lottery apparatus moves for lottery. To be used as an object. That is, the lottery apparatus of this medal organic group performs a lottery by moving the release object supplied on the medal mounting surface. As such a lottery apparatus, a lottery is performed by the physical lottery apparatus which determines which of the plurality of lottery openings the mold release object conveyed by the mold release material conveying means enters, for example. With such a configuration, the release product supplied on the medal mounting surface and satisfying the predetermined drawing conditions is directly related to the drawing by the drawing apparatus.

Moreover, the invention of Claim 7 is the medal organic group of Claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 WHEREIN: The said medal collection | recovery means is outside the said medal mounting surface by the medal extruded by the said medal extrusion member. The release object privilege providing means which has the medal drop groove which the extruded medal falls, and the release object supplied to the said medal mounting surface falls to the medal drop groove as a privilege grant condition, gives a privilege to an organic person It is characterized by having.

In this medal organic machine, the medal dropping groove is provided with a medal dropping groove in which the medal extruded out of the medal mounting surface falls by the medal extruded by the medal extrusion member. The medals dropped into the medal drop groove may be paid to the owner as it is or may be used for other game purposes. On the other hand, the mold release material supplied on the medal mounting surface is moved toward the medal drop groove with the medal on the medal mounting surface by the medal extruded by the medal extrusion member. Here, in this medal organic group, when a release object falls to a dropping groove, privilege grant conditions are satisfied, and a privilege is given to an organic person by a release object privilege grant means. This privilege can be considered in various ways, such as providing a predetermined number of medals to the owner, making it easier to recover the medals on the medal mounting surface by the medal collecting means, or moving to another game.

In addition, in the invention according to claim 8, in the medal organic machine according to claim 7, the medal on the medal mounting surface has the medal dropping on a portion of an end along the medal drop groove on the medal mounting surface. It is provided with the fall suppression member which suppresses falling to a groove | channel, and has the release object guide member which guides the release object supplied on this medal mounting surface to the other part of the said end of the said medal mounting surface.

In this medal organic machine, a drop restraining member is provided on the medal mounting table to prevent a medal on the medal mounting face from dropping into the medal drop groove in a portion of the end portion along the medal drop groove in the medal mounting surface. For example, the part bent upward at a part of the end portion along the medal drop groove of the medal mounting surface can function as the drop suppression member. By appropriately forming such a drop suppression member, it is difficult to drop the medal into the medal drop groove, and the organicity of the game of dropping the medal into the medal drop groove can be improved. Here, when such a fall suppression member is formed, the fall suppression member also suppresses fall with a medal by the fall suppression member. Therefore, there exists a possibility that the extrusion force transmitted to the mold release material from the medal extruded by a medal extrusion member cannot overcome the suppression force applied to a mold release material by a fall suppression member, depending on the dimension, shape, etc. of a mold release material. Therefore, in this medal organic machine, it is comprised so that the mold release material supplied on the medal mounting surface may be guided to the other part of the edge part along the medal drop groove of the medal mounting surface by a release object guide member. By this structure, the release object which moves with the medal on a medal mounting surface by the medal extruded by a medal extrusion member is guided by the release guide member, and the medal mounting surface part in which the fall suppression member is not formed finally is carried out. It will fall to medal drop groove from the. Therefore, when a mold release object falls into a medal drop groove, the restraint force by a fall suppression member is not applied to the mold release object, and a mold release object can be stably dropped to a medal drop groove.

Moreover, the invention of Claim 9 is the medal organic machine of Claim 7 or Claim 8 WHEREIN: The said release privilege grant means is based on the lottery apparatus which draws by moving a moving object for a lottery, and the lottery result of the said lottery apparatus And a lottery privilege granting means for granting a privilege to an organic person, wherein the releasing material supplied to the medal loading surface falls into the medal drop groove as the privilege granting condition, and the lottery apparatus carries the release object transfer means. The release object conveyed by the above is used as a lottery moving object. It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

In this medal organic machine, when the release object supplied to the medal mounting surface falls into the medal drop groove, the privilege granting condition is satisfied, and the privilege to be drawn by the lottery device is granted. Moreover, the other structure can use the structure similar to the medal organic group of Claim 6. That is, the privilege granting condition in this medal organic group is a drawing condition in the medal organic group of claim 6, and when this condition is satisfied, the release article is conveyed to the lottery apparatus by the release material conveying means, and in the lottery apparatus To draw a moving object, use it as a drawing object.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, one Embodiment which applied this invention to the pusher game machine which is a medal organic group is demonstrated.

2 is an external view of a pusher game machine 1 according to the present embodiment. The pusher game machine 1 has ten independent play fields 2, in which each of two players can play a game. Thus, up to 20 players can play at the same time. In addition, the game space played by the owner is divided into pillars 3 every two play fields 2, and the pillars 3 are covered with a transparent cover 4 between them. As a result, the owner cannot directly contact the mechanism inside the play field 2. Moreover, in each play field 2, a pusher game is executed by the organic apparatus station 10 which plays an independent pusher game, respectively.

1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the station 10. The station 10 is provided with two medal feeders 11 as medal delivery means for sending medals into the play field 2. In addition, the medal inserter on the right side of the figure is not shown for description. The medal injector 11 has a medal injector 11a exposed outside the front surface of the pusher game machine 1. When the medal M is thrown from the medal injector 11a by the operator, the medal M is delivered from the tip through the medal channel part 11b. The medal passage part 11b is provided with an injection number detection sensor 11d for detecting the passage of the medal, and detects the medal put by the organizer, and outputs the detection signal to the station control unit described later. The tip of the medal passage 11b is arranged to protrude into the play field 2, and the medal M issued from the tip is fed into the play field 2. In addition, the medal inserter 11 is freely rotatable by the shaft portion 11c fixed to the main body portion of the pusher game machine 1 so that the operator can select the direction in which the medal M exits. Thereby, an organic person can direct the front-end | tip of the medal channel | path part 11b of the medal injector 11 to left and right within a predetermined range.

In the play field 2 into which the medal M is thrown by the medal injector 11, the upper medal mounting table 12, the middle medal mounting table 13, and the lower medal mounting table 14 are provided. The lower medal mount 14 functions as a medal mount, and its upper surface is a medal mount and mounts a large number of medals M. As shown in FIG. When the medal M falls into the medal drop groove 15 as the medal collecting means formed on the front side of the lower medal mount 14, the medal M is supported on the main body front of the pusher game machine 1. It is issued from the dish 5 (see Fig. 2). As a result, the owner may obtain a medal. In addition, in the figure of the lower medal mounting stand 14, the front end part is a stopper part as a fall restraining member so that the medal M deposited on the lower medal mounting stand 14 may not easily fall into the medal drop groove 15. 14a is provided. This stopper part 14a is formed by bending the medal mounting surface on the lower medal mounting table 14 upward.

The suspended medal mount 13 is reciprocated in a predetermined stroke in the direction indicated by the arrow A in the drawing by a mount drive means not shown along the upper surface of the lower medal mount 14. The suspended medal mount 13 which reciprocates in this way functions as a medal extrusion member, and the medal M which exists on the lower medal mount 14 part which the suspended medal mount 13 reciprocates is shown in figure. Extrude to the front. In addition, FIG. 1 has shown the state in which the suspended medal mounting stand 13 moved to the frontmost position in the figure. Moreover, this middle medal mounting stand 13 also functions as a medal mounting stand, and the upper surface becomes a medal mounting surface, and mounts the medal M. As shown in FIG. When the medal M on the suspended medal mount 13 falls to the front side in the drawing, it is mounted on the lower medal mount 14. When the medal M is dropped from the suspended medal mount 13 when the suspended medal mount 13 is not at the foremost position, the medal M is pressed by the suspended medal mount 13. A large number of medals M are pushed into the lower medal mounting surface portion on which they are deposited. When the medal M is pushed in this way, the medal M deposited on the lower medal mount 14 is pushed to the front in the drawing, and the pressing force is stopped by the stopper portion 14a. ), The medal M falls into the medal drop groove 15.

The immediately preceding part of the figure of the upper medal placing table 12 is arrange | positioned along the upper surface of the middle medal placing table 13. When the suspended medal mount 13 is reciprocated in the direction indicated by the arrow A in the figure by the mount drive means, the upper medal mount 12 functions as a medal extrusion member, and the drawing on the suspended medal mount 13 is shown. The medal of the part located in the inner side is pushed to the front side immediately in the figure. Also, the medal M is deposited on the upper medal mount 12, but predetermined conditions are satisfied during the game, whereby the upper medal mount 12 is lifted by a lifting means not shown as shown in FIG. The inner end of the upper plate 12a in the figure is lifted upward. As a result, the medal M on the upper medal mount 12 falls on the suspended medal mount 13.

Moreover, in the play field 2, the medal jump base 16 as a moving surface formation member and the medal chuck 17 as a medal passage restricting member are provided. The medal jump stage 16 has a medal movement surface 16a made of a transparent acrylic plate inclined so as to be in a high position in Fig. 1, and this medal movement surface 16a is suspended by the side plate 16b. It is fixed to). As a result, the mounting table moving means for reciprocating the suspended medal mounting table 13 in the direction of the arrow A in the figure also functions as a moving means for moving the medal jump table 16 relative to the medal chucker 17. Therefore, the medal movement surface 16a reciprocates with the suspended medal mounting base 13, and is relatively reciprocated relative to the medal chucker 17 in the horizontal direction.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the delivery direction of the medal by the medal inserter 11, the direction of the flat portion 17b of the medal chucker 17, and the direction of the medal moving surface 16a of the medal jump table 16. It is also. In the drawings, a virtual horizontal plane S is drawn for explanation. In the figure, arrow P 'on the virtual horizontal plane S is a 3rd projection line when the medal delivery direction P of the medal inserter 11 was projected from the perpendicular direction, and arrow Q' is the normal line Q of the medal movement surface 16a. Is a 2nd projection line at the time of projecting in a perpendicular direction, and arrow R 'is a 1st projection line at the time of projecting the normal line R of the flat part 17b of the medal chucker 17 from a perpendicular direction. As shown in the figure, the medal moving surface 16a and the planar portion 17b of the medal chuck are inclined with respect to the imaginary horizontal plane S at different angles, but the projection lines Q 'and R' are parallel to each other. Moreover, with respect to these projection lines Q 'and R', the 3rd projection line P 'of medal delivery direction P is oblique. Due to such a positional relationship, the medal M injected from the medal dispenser 11 is inclined in the inclined direction of the medal moving surface 16a and moved while being rotated under the action of gravity.

FIG. 5 is a side view seen from the horizontal side, showing a path until the medal M introduced from the medal inserter 11 reaches the medal chucker 17. FIG. The medal M ₁ fed from the medal feeder 11 lands on the medal movement surface 16a reciprocating in the direction of arrow A in the figure. And as illustrated medal (M _2), and moving while rolling toward the medal moving plane (16a) onto the medal cheokkeo 17. At this time, the moving medal M ₂ is inclined in the inclined direction of the medal moving surface 16a by gravity as shown in Fig. 6, and moves so as not to go straight on the medal moving surface 16a. The medal M ₂ which moves in this way reaches the edge part of the medal chucker side of medal movement surface 16a as shown in FIG. Since the end portion is separated from the medal chucker 17, the medal M ₂ reaching the end jumps toward the metal chucker 17. That is, the medal that is shown is in flight conditions, such as (M ₃₎ and reaches the medal cheokkeo 17. And if there is a point reached metal cheokkeo 17 is consistent with the medal passage opening (17a), it can be entered in the medal passage opening (17a) as shown in the illustrated medal (M _4).

The specific configuration of the medal chucker 17 will be described. The medal chuckers 17 correspond to the two medal inserters 11 formed at the station 10, and each of the seven medal pass holes is formed around the center in the horizontal direction. 17a is provided. The seven-pass opening 17a located in the left side of the figure of the medal chucker 17 corresponds to the medal injector 11 located in the left side in FIG. This medal passage opening 17a is substantially the same as the cross-sectional shape of the square of the diameter of the medal M, and has an entrance of the dimension slightly larger. In the posture of a medal (M _3), a jump from a medal ramp 16 is, in the one, inclined obliquely with respect to the vertical plane by a tilt of the medal moving plane (16a) as shown in Fig. Therefore, the medal passage opening (17a) of the medal cheokkeo 17, the medal (M ₃₎ and that the entrance for the position is obliquely installed, medals are shown passing medals as (M ₄₎ sphere (17a) of It is configured to pass through. That is, the angle between the vertical surface including the entrance direction of the medal M ₃ entering the medal passage opening 17a and the longitudinal direction of the medal passage opening 17a is on the vertical surface of the medal M ₄ in the flying state. The inlet of the medal passage opening 17a is formed so that it may correspond with the inclination angle with respect to.

In addition, when the medal M jumped from the medal jump stage 16 is in a flying state, it falls by drawing a parabola by gravity. Therefore, the planar part 17b in which the entrance of the medal passage opening 17a is opened is arrange | positioned toward the vertical direction upper direction so that the medal M may pass through the medal passage opening 17a easily. Thereby, even if the medal M which jumped from the medal jump base 16 could not jump directly into the medal passage opening 17a, it lands on the flat part 17b, and rolls on the flat part 17b. There is a possibility of entering the medal passage 17a. Moreover, since the medal M rolls on the flat part 17b moderately and adjusts the opportunity to enter into the medal pass opening 17a, around the entrance of the medal pass opening 17a, as shown in FIG. The groove 17c as a means is formed. Thereby, some of the medals M which landed on the flat part 17b of the medal chucker 17 are pinched by the groove 17c, and there is little chance of going into the medal passage 17a.

8 is a perspective view showing the back portion of the medal chuck 17. On the back of the medal chucker 17, a moving mechanism 18 for moving the medal chucker 17 in the direction of the arrow B in Fig. 1 is provided. This moving mechanism 18 includes a rotating disk 18a having a rotating shaft at its center, a motor 18b for driving the rotating shaft to rotate, and an arm 18c extending axially from a radial end of the rotating disk 18a. And an arm receiving portion 18d which is freely connected to the end of the arm 18c. The arm support portion 18d is fixed to one end in the horizontal direction at the rear surface of the medal chucker 17 and has a groove extending in the vertical direction so that the end of the arm 18c is slidable. Moreover, the slider 17d connected to the guide rail 18e extended in the horizontal direction along the lower short side of the medal chucker 17 is provided in the lower end part of the medal chucker 17. As shown in FIG. The slider 17d is configured to slide freely with respect to the guide rail 18e, and the medal chuck 17 can move along this guide rail 18e.

When the rotating disk 18a is rotated by the motor 18b, the arm 18c moves in a circular orbit. As a result, the driving force of the motor 18b is transmitted to the arm support portion 18d via the arm 18c. When the arm 18c moves in a circular orbit, the medal chucker 17 moves the guide rail 18e so that the end of the arm 18c can reciprocate in the vertical direction along the groove of the arm support portion 18d. Along the horizontal direction. As the medal chuck 17 moves in this manner, the positional relationship between the medal jump table 16 and the medal passage opening 17a is continuously changed. Therefore, it is difficult to put the medal M into the medal passage opening 17a, and organic property can be improved.

In addition, in this embodiment, although the relative movement between the medal moving surface 16a of the medal jump base 16, and the medal passage opening 17a of the medal chucker 17 is with respect to a horizontal direction, it is a vertical direction between them. You may employ | adopt or add the structure which moves relatively.

Moreover, in this embodiment, after the medal M put into the play field from the medal feeder 11 rolls on the medal movement surface 16a once, it will be in a flying state and will pass through the medal passage opening 17a, However, a medal feeder The medal M put in (11) may be passed through the medal passage opening 17a while flying in the play field.

In addition, in this embodiment, although the structure which the medal movement surface 16a moves relatively with respect to the medal passage opening 17a of the medal chucker 17 was demonstrated, this may be fixedly arranged. In particular, the medal movement surface 16a may be extended to the medal passage opening 17a of the medal chucker 17. In this case, the medal M put into the play field from the medal inserter 11 rolls on the medal moving surface 16a, and does not jump directly in front of the medal passage opening 17a, but passes through the medal of the medal chucker 17 as it is. It passes through the sphere 17a.

On the back of the medal chucker 17, medal detection sensors 19a and 19b are provided as medal detection means for detecting a medal that has passed through the medal passage opening 17a. These medal detection sensors 19a and 10b are arrange | positioned so as to oppose to the horizontal direction both ends of medal chucker 17, respectively. The medal detection sensors 19a and 19b of this embodiment are photo interrupters, and when a light path between two medal detection sensors 19a and 19b is blocked by the medal M which passed through the medal passage opening 17a, a detection signal will be detected. Outputs In addition, in the structure of this embodiment, when each organic person passes through the medal M simultaneously, when two organic players are playing in the same play field 2, this cannot be detected correctly. Even in such a case, when detecting accurately, medal detection sensors 19a and 19b may be formed for each group of medal passage openings 17a divided by the horizontal center of the medal chuck 17 as a boundary. The detection signal of a medal detection sensor is sent to the station control part formed in the station.

In addition, a slot device 20 is provided in the play field 2. This slot device 20 is a liquid crystal display device, and three reel images are displayed on the liquid crystal screen. The slot device 20 is controlled by the station control unit formed inside the station.

9 is a control block diagram showing a station controller 30 installed in each station 10. As shown in FIG. Each station control unit 30 performs a station control device 31, a display control device 32 that performs display control of the slot device 20 under the control of the station control device 31, and a station control device 31. ROM 33 for storing various programs and various databases, and RAM 34 for temporarily recording various data used in a program executed by the station control device 31. In addition, the station control device 31 is a medal (M) put into the medal detection sensor 19b and the medal feeder 11 to detect the medal M passing through the medal passage port 17a of the medal chucker 17. It is also connected to 11d of inputted sheet detection sensors which detect the passage of.

Upon winning the lottery of the station lottery apparatus 70, the ball B is again sent to the central lottery apparatus 40 as another lottery apparatus shown in FIG. At this time, if the golden ball B is sent to the station lottery apparatus 70 and the central lottery apparatus 40, the number of medals paid in accordance with the result of the lottery by the station lottery apparatus 70 and the central lottery apparatus 40 Is doubled.

In addition, when a special bonus relating to the same number of "7" is won, the supply condition is satisfied, and the same number of "7" is displayed on the screen of the slot apparatus 20 by still display. The station control device 31 then outputs a special ball supply command to the ball supply device 23. The ball supply apparatus 23 which received the special ball supply instruction performs the ball supply operation according to the ball supply instruction by the ball supply control part. As a result, five balls B sequentially sent from the ball storage portion are directly supplied to the medal drop groove 15 through the third ball passage portion 23d as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the special bonus is won, the lottery in the station lottery apparatus 70 is executed five times immediately after that, and the chance of the lottery in the central lottery apparatus 40 increases.

10 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the station drawing device 70. When the ball B is received by the ball recovery rail 25 in the medal drop groove 15, it is sent to the station lottery apparatus 70 through the ball lift conveyance mechanism 69. The station lottery apparatus 70 is disposed in the center lottery apparatus 40 side of the slot apparatus 20 formed in each station 10, that is, inside the slot apparatus 20 as seen from the organiser side.

The station lottery apparatus 70 includes an introduction rail 71 as an introduction means, a ball pedestal 72 as a guide surface forming member as a guide means, and a lottery chucker 73 as an accommodation space forming member as a support part. The ball B which has been conveyed from the medal drop groove 15 to the upper portion of the ball lift conveyance mechanism 69 is guided to the introduction rail 71. This introduction rail 71 is comprised by the two rail members extended in parallel with the space | interval shorter than the diameter of the ball B, and the receiving end 71a which receives the ball B from the lift conveyance mechanism 69 is carried out. The inclination of the ball B into the ball pedestal 72 is inclined downward in the vertical direction. Accordingly, when the ball B is received at the receiving end 71a of the introduction rail 71, the ball B is rolled toward the ball pedestal 72 along the introduction rail 71 under the action of gravity. The ball B is introduced into the ball pedestal 72 with a certain speed.

The ball pedestal 72 is provided in a mortar shape, and the inner circumferential surface 72a functions as a guide surface. The dispensing end 71b of the introduction rail 71 is pushed out to the upper side of the ball pedestal 72 so as to follow the circumferential direction near the outer circumference of the inner circumferential surface 72a. The ball B which has jumped out of the dispensing end 71b is rolled around the inner circumferential surface 72A around the central axis I of the ball pedestal 72. In addition, a chuck chuck 73 is provided on the central axis I portion of the ball pedestal 72 on the inner circumferential surface 72A. The chuck chuck 73 is provided with five normal accommodation spaces J into which about half of the balls B can enter, and one special accommodation space K into which the balls B can enter the central axis I. have. The ball B introduced on the inner circumferential surface 72a gradually approaches the central axis I by the inclination of the inner circumferential surface 72a and comes into contact with the lottery chucker 73.

The entrances of the accommodation spaces J and K of the lottery chuck are open in the radial direction outward from the central axis I. Thereby, the ball B which rolled on the inner peripheral surface 72a while turning around the central axis I, and approached the central axis I can enter into the accommodation spaces J and K from either inlet.

11 is a perspective view showing the internal structure of the station drawing device 70. The support rail 74 as an entry blocking means is arrange | positioned inside the special accommodation space K of the lottery chucker 73. The supporting rail 74 has a configuration in which rotational gravity force is transmitted from the stepping motor 76 as a driving means disposed in the motor casing 76a via a drive shaft 75 having a square pillar shape extending in the vertical direction. have. Specifically, the drive shaft of the stepping motor 76 is connected to the rotary disk 76b formed on the upper surface of the motor casing 76a, and the rotary disk 76b is the central axis I on the upper surface of the motor casing 76a. Rotate around. The drive shaft 75 is fixed on this rotating disc 76b, and rotates with the rotating disc 76b. By the rotation of this drive shaft 75, the support rail 74 also rotates about the central axis I. In addition, the motor casing 76a, the lower part of the drive shaft 75, and the like are housed in the casing 78.

12 is an enlarged view of the upper portion of the station drawing device 70. A chucker drive disc 77 is disposed on the upper surface of the casing 78 located just below the ball pedestal 72. On this chucker drive disc 77, a connecting plate 77a which is curved so as to surround the rotation axis I and extends upward in the vertical direction is fixed. The upper part of this connecting plate 77a is attached along the curved part which forms the edge part on the opposite side to the entrance of the special accommodation space K in the lottery chucker 73. A rectangular opening is provided in the center of the chucker drive disc 77, and a drive shaft 75 extending upwardly from the rotation disc 76b in the vertical direction is fitably slidably. Therefore, the gravitational force of the stepping motor 76 is transmitted to the chucker driving disc 77 through the drive shaft 75, and the chucker driving disc 77 rotates accordingly. And by this rotation, the drawing chuck chuck 73 rotates through the connecting plate 77a. In addition, since the rotational speed of the lottery chucker 73 and the rotational speed of the support rail 74 are the same, the support rail 74 rotates together with the lottery chucker 73 while being kept in the special accommodation space K.

As shown in FIG. 9, the rotation angle and rotation speed of the stepping motor 76 are controlled by the station control apparatus 31. As shown in FIG. In addition, the stepping motor 76 is driven to rotate at a constant speed after the power of the pusher game machine 1 is turned on, so that the chuck chuck 73 and the support rail 74 rotate at regular intervals. When the stepping motor 76 is driven, the support rail 74 rotates about the central axis I through the drive shaft 75. By such rotation, the accommodation spaces J and K move on the same circumferential track around the central axis I.

Here, when the ball B introduced from the introduction rail 71 is accommodated in the accommodating space J normally, as shown in FIG. 11, the ball B is normally held in the accommodating space J, and the lottery chucker. It is rotationally conveyed by the rotation of 73. On the inner circumferential surface 72a of the ball pedestal 72, a ball recovery port 72b as a recovery port is opened on the movement path of the ball B normally held in the accommodation space J. Therefore, when the ball B normally held in the accommodation space J rotates and conveys to the position of the ball recovery port 72b by the chuck chuck 73, it will enter into the ball recovery port 72b and will be placed on the upper surface of the casing 78. The ball falls into the formed ball recovery passageway 78a. This ball recovery passageway 78a extends to a ball reservoir, not shown, to guide the ball B to the ball reservoir.

When the ball B accommodated in the accommodation space J passes through the ball recovery port 72b, the ball B is detected by ball detection means such as a photo interrupter (not shown), and the detection signal is transmitted to the station control device ( 31). The station control apparatus 31 which received this detection signal functions as a lottery privilege granting means, and uses the medal supply apparatus 21 to supply the number of medals according to the kind of the normal accommodation space J in which the ball B was accommodated. . At this time, since the station control apparatus 31 recognizes the rotation angle of the stepping motor 76 which rotates the chuck chuck 73, the stepping motor (when the ball B has passed the ball recovery port 72b) From the rotation angle of 76, it is possible to specify the normal accommodation space J in which the ball B is accommodated. Thus, the station control apparatus 31 which specified the normal accommodation space J in which the ball B was accommodated outputs the medal | supply instruction | command to the medal supply apparatus 21 for supplying the predetermined number of medals for every normal accommodation space J, and has the intention of the owner. The medal M is paid into the play field 2.

On the other hand, when the ball B introduced from the introduction rail 71 enters the special accommodation space K, the ball B is guided and held on the central axis I in a state loaded on the support rail 74. do. Therefore, the ball B accommodated in the special accommodation space K does not enter the ball recovery port 72b. If the special accommodation space K is located on the ball recovery port 72b, even when the ball B enters the special accommodation space K, the ball B to the ball recovery port 72b is supported by the support rail 74. ) Fall is prevented. In this way, when the ball B is held on the central axis I of the special accommodation space K, as shown in Fig. 13, the switch arm of the ball detection device 79 is driven by the weight of the ball B. 79a) will be pushed down. As a result, the ball detection device 79 is turned ON, and the ball detection signal is output from the ball detection device 79 to the station control device 31.

When the station control device 31 receives the ball detection signal from the ball detection device 79, the station control device 31 outputs a signal to the main control unit that controls the entire pusher game machine 1. Receiving this signal, the main control unit has a ball conveying passage 49 extending from the ball inlet 44 of the central lottery apparatus 40 shown in Fig. 14 on the side of the station 10 on which the station control apparatus 31 is formed. To rotate, in the horizontal direction of the central lottery apparatus 40. The ball conveying passage 49 is composed of two rail members extending straight in parallel at intervals shorter than the diameter of the ball B, and inclined downward toward the ball inlet 44. The end 49a located in the vertical direction upper side of the ball conveyance passage 49 by the rotational drive of the central lottery apparatus 40 is located in the vicinity of the center axis I upper side of the station lottery apparatus 70. .

Moreover, the station control apparatus 31 which received the ball detection signal from the ball detection apparatus 79 outputs a raise command to the lifting device 80 fixed to the back side in FIG. 11 of the motor casing 76a. This elevating device 80 has a sliding member (not shown) connected with the elevating guide rail 81 extending in the vertical direction formed on the inner wall of the casing 78, and the sliding member drives the elevating guide rail 81 on the elevating guide rail 81. Move. Thereby, the drive shaft 75 also moves up and down with the motor casing 76a. The lifting device 80 which received the rising command raises the motor casing 76a to the state shown in FIG. The support rail 74 which supported the drive shaft 75 and the ball | bowl B also raises also in this. In this way, the mechanism which conveys the ball B to the vertical direction upper side functions as a conveying means, and comprises a part of conveyance means.

As shown in FIG. 15, when the ball B is conveyed upward by the elevating device 80, the connecting device 82 which connects the support rail 74 and the upper part of the drive shaft 75 is the shaft 82a. ) Is rotated to the center lottery apparatus 40 side. Thereby, the support rail 74 inclines below perpendicular direction toward the edge part which was located in the entrance side of the special accommodation space K. As shown in FIG. The end of the support rail 74 inclined in this manner is positioned directly above the tip 49a of the ball conveying passage 49 extending from the central lottery apparatus 40. Therefore, the ball B which was supported on the support rail 74 rolls along the support rail 74, and then falls to the tip 49a of the ball conveyance passage 49. And the ball B rolls on the ball conveyance path 49 and enters the inlet port 44 of the center lottery apparatus 40.

In the present embodiment, when the ball B introduced into the station lottery apparatus 70 is accommodated in any of the accommodation spaces J and K, the ball B is recovered through the ball recovery port 72b or the central lottery apparatus 40. Is sent. In this case, the acquisition rate of the lottery ticket in the central lottery apparatus 40 will be 1/6 each time the ball B is dropped into the medal drop groove 15. Therefore, the ball recovery port 72b may be opened until the ball B is accommodated in the special accommodation space K. FIG. According to this structure, even if the ball B is accommodated in the accommodation space J, the ball B is not recovered from the ball recovery port 72, and the ball B is held in the normal accommodation space J as it is until it is accommodated in the special accommodation space K. It is in a state. As a result, the ball B introduced into the station lottery apparatus 70 cannot enter the normal accommodation space J occupied by the previous ball B, and thus the acquisition rate of the lottery ticket in the central lottery apparatus 40 is obtained. Becomes 1/5. As a result, as the dropper drops the ball B into the medal drop groove 15, the organic person tends to obtain a lottery ticket in the central lottery apparatus 40. Therefore, even if the station lottery apparatus 70 misses the lottery ticket once, the probability of acquiring the next lottery ticket increases, so that the owner can be attracted to the abandonment of the pusher game machine 1, and the owner can be urged to play the game.

In addition, in this embodiment, the ball B is introduced into the mortar-shaped ball pedestal 72 as the station lottery apparatus 70, and among the accommodation spaces J and K of the lottery chucker 73 formed in the center portion thereof. Although the structure which puts the ball B into one was used, you may make another structure. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, you may use the station drawing apparatus provided with the ball pedestal 172 which has the conical inner surface 172a which has a vertex above a perpendicular direction. Further, as shown in Fig. 17, a station lottery apparatus having a ball pedestal 272 having an inclined surface 272a inclined downward in the vertical direction toward the accommodation spaces J and K arranged in a straight line may be used. . In this case, by arranging a plurality of projections 272c which are course changing means for changing the course of the ball B introduced on the inclined surface 272a, it is possible to predict which accommodation space J and K the ball B enters. It becomes difficult and can improve organicity.

The front plate 46, the back side middle plate 52, the outer circumferential divider 53, the inner circumferential hollow cone member 54 and the outer circumferential hollow cone member 55 serve as first support space forming members.

20 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the rotary drawing device 40 is cut along the rotation axis C in the vertical direction. Supporting space F formed as described above, when the position in the vertical direction the bottom, has a slope for moving the ball (B ₁₎ a rear side, the slope is a function as a first guide means. In addition, the support space F has an inclination for moving the ball B ₂ to the front side when located at the top of the vertical direction. Accordingly, when the ball B ₁ introduced from the ball inlet 44 of the transparent panel 43 is guided by the first guide member 46d and enters the ball receiving port 46a, the plurality of support spaces F It is accommodated in the support space F which moved to the lowest perpendicular direction by rotation of the ball conveying apparatus 50. As shown in FIG. Then, the ball B ₁ is in a state in which the force moving toward the back side acts by the inclination of the outer circumferential hollow cone member 55 that forms the support space F under the action of gravity, and abuts against the back side medium plate 52. Is supported by. This position becomes a first support position.

Thus, the ball B accommodated in the support space F is conveyed toward the vertical direction upper side along the outer periphery conveyance part of the said ball conveying apparatus 50 by rotation of the ball conveying apparatus 50. FIG. Here, as shown in Fig. 19, the ball B, which is rotated and conveyed while being supported by the support space F, includes the opening 51a of the front side middle plate 51, and the transparent front side middle plate 51 and the transparent panel covering these ( The organic matter is placed in the visible state by the first window formed by 43).

When the ball B supported by the support space F is conveyed to the uppermost direction in the vertical direction, the ball B is positioned at the dispensing position, and under the action of gravity, this time the inner circumferential hollow cone member (which forms the support space F) ( By the inclination of 54), the force moving to the front side acts. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 20, the ball B ₂ passes through the supply port 46b of the front plate 46 and is supplied to the space between the front plate 46 and the transparent panel 43. As shown in Fig. 18, the ball B thus provided is guided to both sides in the horizontal direction by the second guide member 46e, and into the interior space D divided by the separating member 46c. Supplied.

As shown in Fig. 18, the ball B guided by the second guide member 46e falls onto the third guide member 46f constituting the second guide means. The third guide member 46f is a plate-shaped member which is located in the internal space D and is bent downward in the vertical direction so as to be disposed in parallel with a distance that the ball B can pass with respect to the partition member 46c. The ball B landing on the third guide member 46f falls while rolling along the surface thereof. And it rolls toward the lowest direction in the perpendicular direction along the inner peripheral surface which is the 2nd mounting surface of the division member 46c which functions as 2nd guide means.

The inner circumferential surface of the dividing member 46c is a surface extending in the vertical direction with respect to the front plate 46 and is neither inclined to the device back side nor to the front side. Therefore, since the ball B supplied along the inner circumferential surface of the separating member 46c has little frictional force due to contact with the front plate 46 and the transparent panel 43, the ball B moves on the inner circumferential surface like a vibrator for a while, Slowly decelerate under the action of gravity. And finally, it stops in the perpendicular direction lower part of the inner peripheral surface of the division member 46c. As shown in Fig. 18, a triangular cutout 48 as a second conveying means is provided at the lowermost vertical direction of the inner circumferential surface. This cutout 48 is a groove extending along the rotation axis C, the groove width of which is shorter than the diameter of the ball B, and has a structure gradually widening toward the back side. Therefore, the ball B stopped at the lowermost portion in the vertical direction is fitted into the cutout portion 48, thereby receiving a force moving toward the direction in which the groove width widens, i.e., the rear side, under the action of gravity. And this ball B enters into the inner periphery conveyance part of the ball conveyance apparatus 50 again.

As the second conveying means for inserting the ball B into the inner conveying portion, instead of the cutout 48, for example, by using a mechanical mechanism for extruding the ball B into the inner conveying portion or by drawing it into the inner conveying portion, You may also

As shown in Fig. 19, three kinds of support grooves G ₁ , G ₂ , and G ₃ serving as a second support space having a width of about one ball are provided in the inner circumferential transport portion of the ball transport apparatus 50. It is installed. Each of the supporting grooves G ₁ , G ₂ , G ₃ extends radially from the division member 46c toward the rotation axis C, and has different groove lengths. Specifically, five first support grooves G ₁ having a groove length of about one ball, four second support grooves G ₂ having a groove length of about two balls, and a groove length of about one ball Three types of one third supporting groove G ₃ , which are about three balls, are prepared. Each support groove (G _1, G _2, G ₃₎ are due to the rotation of the ball transfer apparatus 50, it is moved to a circumferential orbit about the rotation axis (C). Therefore, the ball B accommodated in these support grooves G ₁ , G ₂ , G ₃ causes the ball B to rotate in the conveying path on the circumferential track about the rotation axis C by the rotation of the ball conveying device 50. do.

The front side middle plate of the ball transfer apparatus 50 (51), each support groove (G _1, G _2, G ₃₎ part in has an opening (51b), retaining grooves (G _1, G _2, G corresponding to the _The ball B supported and conveyed by ₃ ) is supported from the front side by the transparent front plate 46 mounted in parallel with the front side middle plate 51 in parallel. The middle plate is formed by the rear side (52) of these support groove (G _1, G _2, G ₃₎ view transfer apparatus 50 side of the rear surface. Further, both sides of the support grooves G ₁ , G ₂ , and G ₃ in the circumferential direction are formed by an inner circumferential divider 56 fixed between the front side plate 51 and the back side plate 52. Also, each support groove (G _1, G _2, G ₃₎ to see the outside away from the radial direction from the rotational axis of the transfer apparatus 50 is seen in which the peak is on the rotational axis (C) at the side face of the transfer device 50 of the It is formed by the outer hollow cone member 57 which separated a part of the outer peripheral surface of the cone shape. Also, each support groove (G _1, G _2, G ₃₎ ball axis side by separating a portion of the surface facing the top on the back side the rotational axis (C) of the conveying device 50, the ball transfer apparatus 50 side of the axis of rotation of the It is formed by the hollow cone member 58. It has a role as a front plate 46, a back side middle plate 52, an inner circumferential divider 56, an outer hollow cone member 57, an axial hollow cone member 58, and a second support space forming member.

Thus, each support groove (G _1, G _2, G ₃₎ formed is, when the position is at the bottom, the vertical direction as shown in Fig. 20 (in the figure the first supporting groove (G ₁₎₎ ball (B ₁₎ Has an inclination for moving it to the back side, and this inclination has a function as the second guide means. Also, each support groove (G _1, G _2, G ₃₎ are, even when located in the lowermost vertical direction (in the figure the first supporting groove (G ₂₎₎ has a slope for moving the ball (B ₂₎ toward the rear, and this It has a function as a third conveying means.

By the structure of such an inner conveyance part, the ball B supplied to the internal space D after being conveyed by the inner conveyance part is ten by the notch part 48 formed in the perpendicular direction lowermost part of the inner peripheral surface of the division member 46c. The support grooves G ₁ , G ₂ , and G ₃ are accommodated in the support grooves that have moved to the lowermost in the vertical direction by the rotation of the ball transfer device 50. And the ball B acts by the inclination of the outer hollow cone member 57 which forms the support grooves G ₁ , G ₂ , and G ₃ under the action of gravity, and the force moving to the rear side acts on the rear side. It is supported in contact with the middle plate 52. This position becomes a second support position.

In this way, the ball B accommodated in the support grooves G ₁ , G ₂ , G ₃ is rotated in the vertical direction along the inner circumferential portion of the ball conveying device 50 by the rotation of the ball conveying device 50. Is conveyed toward. Here, as shown in FIG. 19, the ball B, which is rotated and conveyed while being supported by the supporting grooves G ₁ , G ₂ , and G ₃ , has an opening 51b of the front side midplane 51 and a transparent front side midplane covering the same. The second window portion formed by the 51 and the transparent panel 43 is placed in the visible state of the organics.

When the ball B supported by the supporting grooves G ₁ , G ₂ , and G ₃ is conveyed to the upper portion in the vertical direction, the ball B moves along the inner wall under the action of gravity, and when the ball B is conveyed to the uppermost portion in the vertical direction, the rotation shaft C It is in a state of being in contact with the side axial hollow cone member 58. And the force which moves to the back side by the inclination of the axial side hollow cone-shaped member 58 acts.

21 is a rear view of the ball conveying apparatus 50. Back side middle plate 52 of the conveyance device 50, seen as illustrated is in a position corresponding to the axis side end portion of each support groove (G _1, G _2, G _3), each one ball (B) is passed Possible outlets 52a, 52b, 52c are opened. Therefore, the ball B conveyed to the top of the vertical direction in the state supported by the supporting grooves G ₁ , G ₂ , and G ₃ is inclined by the axial hollow conical member 58 to the outlets 52a, 52b, 52c. To enter.

22 is a rear view of the rotary drawing device 41. The outer wall of the rotary lottery apparatus 41 is formed by the back plate 47 mounted in parallel to the back side middle plate 52. When this would have the back plate 47 is viewed inner circumferential outer hollow truncated cone material 57 that forms the first support groove (G ₁₎ in the transport section of the transport apparatus 50 is located in the uppermost vertical direction, and its outlet (52a The lottery ball 47a is formed in the position corresponding to Similarly, a lottery ball 47b corresponding to the outlet 52b formed in the second support groove G ₂ , and a lottery ball 47c corresponding to the outlet 52c formed in the third support groove G ₃ are also shown. Formed. Therefore, the ball B conveyed from the inner circumferential conveyance part to the vertical direction uppermost part corresponds to the lottery openings 47a, 47b, 47c through the outlets 52a, 52b, 5c by the inclination of the axial hollow conical member 58. Will enter.

In this way, the ball B entered into the lottery balls 47a, 47b, 47c passes through the micro switches 65a, 65b, 65c as the detection means, as shown in FIG. It is recovered. The micro switches 65a, 65b, and 65c include the first electrodes 66a, 66b, 66c on which the balls B are placed when the balls B pass, and the second electrodes 67a spaced apart from the lower side. , 67b, 67c, and detection units 68a, 68b, 68c for detecting a current flowing between the first electrode and the second electrode. A predetermined voltage is applied between each of the first electrodes 66a, 66b, 66c and the second electrodes 67a, 67b, 67c by the detectors 68a, 68b, 68c.

Here, for example, as shown in the figure, when the ball B provided from the first support groove G ₁ passes over the first electrode 66a, the first electrode 66a is weighed by the weight of the ball B ₃ . It is pushed down and the 1st electrode 66a and the 2nd electrode 67a contact. As a result, the current flows between the first electrode 66a and the second electrode 67a. When the detection part 68a detects this electric current, a detection signal is output to the main control part 70 which manages and manages this pusher game machine 1.

FIG. 23 is a control block diagram showing the main control unit of the pusher game machine 1. As shown in FIG. The main control unit 100 temporarily stores the main control device 101, the ROM 102 storing various programs executed by the main control device 101, and the various data used in the programs executed by the main control device 101. A RAM 103 for recording is provided. In addition, the main control unit 100 is connected to the station control device 31 of the station control unit 30 formed in each station 10 so as to enable data communication. When the station control device 31 receives the medal signal from the medal feeder 11 and receives the detection signal from the feed count detection sensor 11d, the station control device 31 sends the medal feed signal to the main control device of the main controller 100 in response thereto. Output to (101). The main control apparatus 101 which received this medal input signal adds "1" to the inputted number data stored in the ROM 102. In other words, the data on the number of input sheets indicates the total number of medals M put by all the organizers.

In addition, the main control unit 100 mainly controls the operation of the central lottery apparatus 40 by the main control apparatus 101. As described above, when the ball B enters the special accommodation space K and the ball detection signal from the ball detection device 79 is input to the station control device 31 in the station lottery apparatus 70, the station control is performed. The lottery request signal is output from the device 31 to the main control device 101 of the main control unit 100. Upon receipt of this lottery request signal, the main control device 101 executes the lottery control program stored in the ROM 102.

24 is a flowchart showing the control operation of the main control device 101 which executes the lottery control program.

When the main control device 101 receives the lottery request signal from the station control device 31 (S1), the station 10 recognizes that the lottery condition in the central lottery device 40 is satisfied, and firstly the center It is determined whether the lottery device 40 is used for lottery (S2). Here, if it is determined that the central lottery device 40 is not used, the main control device 101 is a ball conveying passage 49 extending from the ball inlet 44 of the central lottery device 40 shown in FIG. ) Outputs a drive command for rotationally driving in the horizontal direction of the central lottery apparatus 40 so that the) heads toward the station 10 side where the station control apparatus 31 is installed (S3). Then, when the ball conveyance passage 49 faces the station 10, the lottery permission signal is output to the station control device 31 (S4). The station control apparatus 31 which received this drawing permission signal outputs an ascending command to the elevating apparatus 80, conveys the ball B in the special accommodation space K to the upper side, as mentioned above, and the ball conveyance passage ( 49). As a result, the ball B is introduced into the central lottery apparatus 40 to execute the lottery.

When the main control device 101 receives the lottery detection signal output from the detection units 68a, 68b, and 68c for detecting the balls B entered into the lottery balls 47a, 47b, and 47c, respectively, (S5). It functions as a means, and a medal is given according to the drawing detection signal (S6).

Specifically, when the main control device 71 that executes the payment control program receives the detection signal from the first detection unit 68a, the main control device 71 outputs a drive command to the drive control unit formed in the central lottery device 40. The drive control unit of the central lottery device 40 having received this drive command receives the organics, that is, the ball B, won by the medal lottery wing 29 of the central lottery device 40 by the central lottery device. It drives to rotate in the horizontal direction of the center lottery apparatus 40 so that it may face the play field 2 of the organic person dropped to the medal drop groove 15. Then, when the medal supply wing 29 faces the play field 2, as shown in FIG. 25, the tip of the medal supply wing 29 is placed on the top medal mount 12 of the play field 2. It is driven to lower the tip of the medal supply wing 29 so as to be located near the upper side.

When the driving operation of the central lottery apparatus 40 is complete | finished, the main control apparatus 71 outputs a medal supply instruction to the medal supply apparatus 80 for central lottery apparatuses. The medal supply device 80 for the central lottery apparatus which received this medal supply instruction supplies 100 medals M to the medal support plate 27 formed in the upper part of the central lottery apparatus 40 (refer FIG. 14). ). The medal M supplied to the medal support plate 27 passes through the medal conveyance passage 28 as it is by gravity, and is supplied into the play field 2 of the above-mentioned owner through the medal supply wing 29.

In addition, when the main control apparatus 71 receives the detection signal from the 2nd detection part 68b, 200 medals M are provided as mentioned above.

Moreover, when the main control apparatus 71 receives the detection signal from the 3rd detection part 68c, medal supply similar to what is called a progressive jack port (henceforth "PJP") is performed. PJP is to pay, for example, several percent of the number of medals put in by all organic operators in addition to the prescribed number of payments. In the present embodiment, the prescribed number of payments is set to 500 pieces, and the number of medals of 1% of the number of medals introduced by all the operators after the medal payment of the previous PJP is executed is added.

Specifically, when the main control device 71 receives the detection signal from the third detection unit 68c, as described above, the tip of the medal-supply wing 29 is placed on the upper medal mounting table of the play field 2. It is located near the upper side of (12). Then, the main control device 71 reads the inputted number of data stored in the ROM 72, and pays the medal of the number of pieces added by adding the number corresponding to 1% to the prescribed number of sheets 500 for the central lottery device. The medal supply command is output to the medal supply device 80. The medal supply device 80 for the central lottery device that received the medal supply order supplies the medals M of the number according to the medal supply order to the medal support plate 27 formed on the upper part of the central lottery device 40, Payments are made into the play field 2 of the above-mentioned owner.

On the other hand, when the main control device 101 receives the lottery request signal from the station control device 31 (S1), when the central lottery device 40 is in use (S2), the main control device 101 Registers the station ID for specifying the station control device 31 in the RAM 103 (S7). When this registration is made, the station IDs are sequentially recorded in the address order of the RAM 103. Therefore, when a plurality of lottery requests are received while the central lottery apparatus 40 is in use, the station IDs associated with the lottery request are in the order of the quickest reception, starting from the numbers with the smallest addresses of the RAM 103. They are recorded in order. When registered in the RAM 103 in this manner, the main control device 101 functions as a conveyance stopping means that is recommended waiting means, and outputs a waiting command to the station control device 31 (S8). The station control apparatus 31 which received this waiting instruction waits for conveyance of the ball B, holding the ball B in the special accommodation space K. FIG.

When the lottery ends in the central lottery device 40 and the medal is also issued (S6), the main control device 101 determines whether there is a station control device 31 waiting for the lottery (S9). . Here, if it is determined that there is no waiting station control device 31, the main control device 101 ends the lottery control program. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a waiting station control device 31, the main control device 101 reads the station ID recorded at the earliest address in the RAM 103 (S10). Thereby, the station ID of the one which outputs a lottery request earlier than the waiting station control apparatus 31 is read. Further, in the present embodiment, the order in which the lottery request is received and the address number of the RAM 103 are associated with each other, thereby recognizing that the lottery request is outputted fastest among the station control devices 31 that are waiting for the RAM 103. When registering with the card, the order of receiving the lottery request may be recorded in the RAM 103 in association with the station ID.

In this way, when the station ID is read out, the main control device 101 functions as a standby release means, and is driven to rotate in the horizontal direction of the central lottery device 40 toward the station control device 31 having the station ID. The driving command for the output (S3). As described above, the lottery and the medal supply are executed by the central lottery apparatus 40.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the central lottery apparatus 40 is in use, the waiter waits for the lottery while playing the pusher game at the station 10. However, such a time is a result of degrading the organicity to a tedious time for the organic person waiting for the lottery in the central lottery device (40). Therefore, we propose a configuration for reducing the tedious time of waiting abandoners.

Specifically, in the pusher game to be executed in each station 10, the entrepreneur puts the medal M into the medal passage opening 17a of the medal chucker 17 using the medal dispenser 11, and the lottery program is executed. The lottery by a computer is performed from the station control apparatus 31 to perform. Here, if the medal M passes through the medal pass port 17a of the medal chucker 17 during this drawing, the station control device 31 adds "1" to the reserved data recorded in the RAM 34. do. In addition, the number of holdings based on this holding data is indicated by the holding lamp 20a of the slot apparatus 20 as shown in FIG. Here, in the present modification, the number of medals to be issued in accordance with the result of the lottery of the central lottery device 40 is based on the number of times the lottery is held at the start of the lottery, that is, the held data recorded in the RAM 34 of the station controller 30. Change it.

Fig. 26 is a flowchart showing the control operation of the main control device 101 executing the lottery control program for realizing the above-described operation. In addition, since the control operation until the drawing by the central lottery apparatus 40 is complete | finished is the same as the said embodiment, it abbreviate | omits and demonstrates only the part different from the said embodiment.

When the lottery permission signal is output from the main control device 101 to the station control device 31 (S4), the station control device 31 outputs a rising command to the lifting device 80 as described above. The ball B in the special accommodation space K is conveyed upwards, the ball B is supplied to the ball conveying passage 49, the ball B is introduced into the central lottery apparatus 40, and lottery is performed. Then, when receiving the lottery detection signal output from the detection units 68a, 68b, 68c for detecting the balls B entered into the lottery balls 47a, 47b, 47c, respectively (S5), the main control device 101 Before the medal is issued in accordance with the lottery detection signal, the station control device 31 requests the hold data (S11). The station control device 31 that has received this hold data request reads the hold data recorded in the RAM 34 and outputs it to the main control device 101.

When the main control device 101 receives the reserved data from the station control device 31 (S12), the main control device 101 functions as a privilege content changing means, and the number of medals of the addition number corresponding to the reserved number shown in the following table is described below. According to Table 2, it is added to the number of payments prescribed according to the result of the drawing of the central lottery apparatus 40 (S13). And the main control apparatus 101 outputs the medal supply instruction | command for performing the medal payment of the number of sheets which added the addition number to the regulation number to the medal supply apparatus 80 for central lottery apparatus during a medal supply operation.

Pending 0 to 3 times 4 times 5 times 6th 7th 8th Countable - +100 sheets +110 sheets +120 sheets +130 sheets +140 sheets

According to the above structure, the medal supply number can be increased based on the reserved number immediately before entering into the medal supply operation after the lottery by the central lottery apparatus 40. Therefore, if the organic person waiting for the lottery in the central lottery apparatus 40 passes the medal M through the medal passage opening 17a of the medal chucker 17 and increases the number of reserved water, the waiting state is released and the central lottery is released. It is possible to increase the number of medals obtained by the result of the lottery in the device 40.

In addition, in the above configuration, the addition number is determined based on the reserved number immediately before the medal dispensing operation. However, after the waiting state is released, for example, the addition number may be determined or the arithmetic value may be determined based on the pending number when the waiting state is released. . In addition, although the case where a reserved number is used as a game result was demonstrated here, various game results can be used according to the game content of a game device, and the like. In addition, although the case where the number of medal payments was changed to give a medal as a privilege was demonstrated, when it has a structure which gives another privilege, the privilege content is changed suitably according to the privilege.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the movement of the medal M after the instructor aims at the medal passage port 17a of the medal chucker 17 by the medal inserter 11 rolls or jumps. Since the lower surface is complicated and the medal chucker 17 and the medal jumping platform 16 are moved individually, the motion of the medal is compared with the conventional pusher game machine which simply rolls the medal and passes it through the medal passage opening 17a. The game is not monotonous due to diversification. Moreover, the medal M which jumped directly jumps into the medal passage opening 17a can provide a refreshing feeling and a feeling of achievement to an organic person.

In addition, when the owner passes the medal M through the medal passage opening 17a and wins the ball bonus or special item, the ball B is supplied into the play field. When the ball B supplied in this way falls into the medal drop groove 15, the ball B is conveyed to the station lottery apparatus 70 which performs the physical drawing of the 1st stage, and the station lottery apparatus 70 In the lottery, the lottery for which the ball B enters into six accommodation spaces J and K is executed. When the ball B enters the special accommodation space K in this lottery, the right to draw in the central lottery apparatus 40 which performs the second stage physical lottery is granted. And the ball B is conveyed to the central lottery apparatus 40, and the lottery about which of the three lottery openings 47a, 47b, 47c enters in the central lottery apparatus 40 is performed, You will receive a large amount of medals.

In addition, in this embodiment, although the structure using the ball which is a spherical object was demonstrated as a mold release object, for example, mold-release objects, such as a giant medal member which is much larger than the medal M, and block members, such as a cube, can be used. It can also be used. In the present embodiment, the winning condition of the ball B is to be won in the lottery displayed on the slot apparatus 20, but the ball B is not supplied with the ball bonus. The number of medals put in has reached a predetermined number, such as 300, or the number of medals passed through the medal passer 17a of the medal chucker 17 without being able to hit the ball bonus. It is also possible to make the conditions of supply, etc. which reached | attained.

Moreover, in this embodiment, although the structure which performs the 2nd stage lottery which performs the 2nd stage lottery by the central lottery apparatus 40 after performing the 1st stage lottery by the station lottery apparatus 70 was demonstrated, It can also be set as the structure which draws three or more steps by the same method. In the present embodiment, the ball B used in the lottery of the station lottery apparatus 70 is also used in the central lottery apparatus 40. However, the ball B is specially accommodated in the station lottery apparatus 70, for example. When entering the space K, another ball may be supplied to the central lottery apparatus 40. Moreover, it is not necessary to necessarily use the same thing as a lottery moving object used by these lottery apparatuses, It can also be set as the structure which draws using the lottery moving object of a completely different shape in each lottery apparatus.

Moreover, in this embodiment, in the central lottery apparatus 40 which draws using the ball B, after the ball B is rotated and conveyed once by the outer periphery conveyance part of the ball conveying apparatus 50, it is the inner periphery. A physical lottery is performed on which the three lottery balls 47a, 47b, and 47c finally enter by being rotated and conveyed by the conveying unit. Therefore, the organizer draws the lottery with the expectation of which lottery ball 47a, 47b, 47c will enter while watching the trend of the ball B during the two-stage rotation conveyance in this central lottery apparatus 40. Enjoy.

In addition, although the integrated rotation conveyance apparatus which integrated the 1st rotation conveyance apparatus and the 2nd rotation conveyance apparatus was used, you may comprise separately, respectively. Moreover, you may make an outer peripheral conveyance part function as a 2nd rotation conveyance apparatus, and make an inner peripheral conveyance part function as a 1st rotation conveyance apparatus. In this case, each lottery ball 47a, 47b, 47c is arranged at a position corresponding to the outlet of the support space of the outer circumferential conveyance portion.

Moreover, the 1st guide means which guides the ball B to the support space F of the outer periphery conveyance part makes the ball B introduce | transduced from the ball inlet 44 into the support space F simply by the 1st guide member 46d. Although it guided, it may be set as the structure which enters into the support space F after the ball B moves like a vibrator like the inner peripheral conveyance part of this embodiment. In this case, the ball inlet 44 of the transparent panel 43 is disposed in the vertical upper portion, and the ball B introduced from the ball inlet 44 is disposed between the front plate 46 and the transparent panel 43. What is necessary is just to comprise so that it may enter into the space of the outer side of the division member 46c with respect to the rotating shaft C. In this case, as the first conveying means for sending the ball B to the support space F, the notched portion 48 used in the inner circumferential conveying portion can be used.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft C of the ball conveyance apparatus 50 of the center lottery apparatus 40 is arrange | positioned in a horizontal direction, and the outer periphery conveyance part and the inner periphery conveyance part also convey the ball B along a perpendicular surface.

For example, in the embodiment using the respective members forming the support area F of each member and the holding groove _{(G 1, G 2, G} 3) to form an as a supporting member for supporting a ball (B), and the support area F And the ball B in the support grooves G ₁ , G ₂ , and G ₃ , but are made of a magnetic material by using a mechanical mechanism such as a support arm to support the lottery moving object or by using a magnet. The lottery moving object may be supported.

[Modification]

In the said embodiment, on the condition that the ball B supplied on the medal mounting surface falls to the medal drop groove | channel 15, the privilege of performing the lottery by the station lottery apparatus 70 and the central lottery apparatus 40 is provided. Although it was the structure provided to a reporter, the structure (henceforth a "modification example") which uses the ball B for a game for receiving another privilege is demonstrated below.

FIG. 27 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a configuration around a medal drop groove 15 according to the present modification. Three cutouts 14b, 14c, 14d are provided in the stopper portion 14a formed at the end of the lower medal mount 14. Most of the balls B fall through the cutout portions 14b, 14c, and 14d where the medals M are likely to fall into the medal drop grooves 15 and fall into the medal drop grooves 15. Here, in the medal drop groove 15, the switch arms 15b, 15c, 15d are arrange | positioned below the perpendicular direction of each notch 14b, 14c, 14d, respectively. The switch arms 15b, 15c, and 15d do not push down even when the medal M collides, but a force is applied so as to push down when the ball B collides. By this configuration, when the ball B falls through the cutout portions 14b, 14c, and 14d and falls into the medal drop groove 15, it is detected by the switch arms 15b, 15c, and 15d, respectively.

When the switch arms 15b, 15c, and 15d are pushed down by the ball B, the detection signal is sent to the station control device 31. The station control device 31 that has received this detection signal outputs a medal supply command for issuing a predetermined number of medals for each of the switch arms 15b, 15c, and 15d to the medal supplying device 21, and the play field of the owner. (2) The medal (M) is paid within.

According to the configuration of the present modification, a game in which the number of medals to be given to the owner is provided by the position where the ball B falls into the medal drop groove 15 can be provided. Accordingly, the medalist placed the suspended medal mount on the medal chuck 17 so that the ball B on the lower medal mount 14 is separated from the cutout portions 14b, 14c, and 14d with the highest number of payments. It is necessary to pay attention to the study which injects the medal M by the metal injector 11 in anticipation of the position which falls on (13), and can provide organics with high organic property.
