And, the gift certificate outlet 12 of the support 10 is a place where the gift certificate that can be obtained by the end customer in the prize game machine is discharged.

In addition, the display unit 20 typically has a reel 21 programmed to add a bonus score according to the same picture, a credit unit 22 for converting a coin input amount into a predetermined rule, and the reel. A bank unit 23 for displaying a bonus score by 21, a bonus unit 24 for displaying a bonus score in the game space unit 30, and a specific bonus for the reel 21 By having the chance part 25, the structure which can display various points is provided.

The game space part 30 is a space part for allowing the coins 32 to circulate and move in the panel plate 31 where the game is played, and the coin type circulation device A is provided.

At this time, the transparent cover plate 37 (see Fig. 4) is attached to the front of the game space unit 30 so that the coins 32 cannot flow to the outside in the circulation process.

In particular, the transparent cover plate 37 is mostly made of a transparent plastic material, preferably acrylic material so that the customer can understand the progress of the game on the panel plate 31.

By the way, the acrylic material generates static electricity when the coin type 32 is in contact with (or maintains close proximity to) the narrow and closed space such as the transfer passage 33 described later due to its material property.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 3, the coin type circulation device (A) according to the present invention, the panel board 31, which provides a space in which the game is typically progressed, and the game of the game on the panel board (31) A plurality of coins 32 circulated in accordance with the progress, a transfer path 33 having an endless track (or loop) form as a route through which the coins 32 are transported, and coins collected 32 that are dropped and collected. ) Has a configuration including a conveying means 34 that can continuously convey through the conveying passage (33).

Here, the coins 32 refers to all objects of a circular or spherical shape used in game machines such as coins, medals, beads, etc. The present invention is not limited by the type or form of coins 32.

In addition, an input opening 31a is formed in the upper portion of the panel plate 31 to allow the coins 32 to be injected, and a coin drop 32 that is dropped in the lower portion is formed by the side slope 31f. The collecting port 31b which collects and collects in one place is formed.

In addition, the panel plate 31 includes a check sensor 31d and a spin sensor 31e capable of detecting a falling state of various pins 31c and coins 32 in which coins 32 collide with each other during the dropping process. Bars are installed at various intervals, such as a), the arrangement and configuration of the detection sensor, such as the pin (31c) and the checking sensor (31d), spin sensor (31e) is not limited to the present invention, various It is obvious that design variations can be made.

For example, when the coins 32 fall, the number is checked by a checking sensor 31d provided on the panel plate 31, and the coins 32 are spin sensors 31e. As you pass, each score will be added.

In addition, the checking sensor 31d detects the total number of all falling coins 32, but the spin sensor 31e detects only the coins 32 passing through its front, and the spin sensor ( 31e) Coins 32 that do not pass in front are not given additional points.

The coins 32 dropped in this way are directed toward the collection port 31b, which is the inlet of the transfer passage 33, through the inclined portion 31f formed around the panel plate 31.

In order to make the probability of coin 32 passing through the spin sensor 31e more random on the panel plate 31, the coin flows in such a manner that the coins fall randomly to the left and right sides of the spin sensor 31e. A random apparatus 35 is provided.

Since the random device 35 cannot predict the direction in which the coins 32 fall, the random device 35 plays a role of reinforcing the reliability of the game machine so that the user (or customer) does not have any doubt about the operation of the game machine. .

The transfer passage 33 is provided at one side of the panel plate 31 and extends from the collection port 31b at the bottom of the panel plate 31 to the opening 33a at the top of the panel plate 31. The plate 31 has an endless track (or loop) that extends long across the upper and lower portions of the plate 31.

At this time, the width and width of the transfer passage 33 has a size enough to transfer the coin stream 32 in a line.

In addition, it is preferable that the inner surface of the transfer passage 33 is smoothly processed so that the coins 32 can slide smoothly.

In particular, although the transfer passage 33 is designed in the preferred structure as described above, as described above, each coin 32 (especially a medal or a coin) passes through the transfer passage 33 in the process. Coins 32 are in close contact with each other and at the same time the contact (or keep in close proximity) with the transparent cover plate 37 made of acrylic, so that the coins 32 and the transparent cover plate 37 Due to the mutually produced material properties between the problem was generated static electricity.

Thus, the present invention has a certain width on the transparent cover plate 31 forming the transfer passage 33, as shown in more detail in Figure 4 to solve the problem of the static electricity generated simply and more effectively. The antistatic hole 36 is characterized in that it is formed along the entire transport passage (33).

That is, the present invention forms the antistatic hole 36 on the transfer path 33, thereby minimizing the contact area between the coins (especially medals or coins) and the transparent cover plate 37 to mutually contact each other. And by reducing the corresponding area in close proximity to each other, there is provided a structure that can prevent the generation of static electricity between the coins 32 and the transparent cover plate 37.

As described above, a plurality of antistatic holes 36 having a predetermined width and length are formed on the transparent cover plate 37, and the antistatic holes 36 are transported by the coins 32 on the panel plate 31. It is formed along the entire transport passage 33 and the side inclined portion 31f of the panel plate 31 which are parts that can be contacted in the process of being forcedly circulated along the passage 33 and the side inclined portion 31f of the panel plate 31. It is preferable to (see FIG. 3).

In particular, the anti-static holes 36 may allow external air to flow into the sealed transfer passage 33 and the side inclined portion 31f to significantly alleviate the static electricity generating conditions.

On the other hand, for the forced circulation of the coins 32 is required a conveying means 34 that can push the coins 32.

As shown in FIG. 3, the transfer means 34 collects the rod 34a having the bearing 34c linearly reciprocated by a cam 34b rotated by a motor (not shown). The coins 32 arriving at the sphere 31b are pushed upwards one by one through the transfer passage 33.

That is, when the push rod 34a advances to push one coin type 32, the coin type 32 in front of the upper portion pushes sequentially and falls through the opening 33a of the transfer passage 33. Done.

Then, when the pusher 34a is backward, the collector 31b is introduced and the coin 32 at the next position is positioned to the coin type 32 where the pusher 32 is pushed out, and the pusher 34a can move forward again. When it is pushed forward.

The coins 32 are transported one by one while going through this process continuously.

Here, the operation process of the premium game machine to which the present invention having the above configuration is applied will be described as an example.

First, a user (or a customer) inserts a coin required to start a game into the coin inlet 14.

For example, if one 500 won coin is inserted into the coin inlet 14, 10 is displayed in the credit unit 22, in this case, one coin is played for 50 won, which is 500 In the circle, you can play the game as 10 coins (32).

Of course, this method can vary the credit ratio depending on the game machine.

At this time, if the customer does not have a coin may exchange the coins required for the game by inserting the banknotes through the bank input hole 15, the configuration related to the exchange of such banknotes may vary depending on the model of the game machine.

After completing the preparation process as described above, the user starts the game by pressing the operation button.

For example, when the start button of the operation button 13 is pressed once, one coin type 32 falls from the upper opening 33a of the transfer passage 33.

The coins 32 dropped in this way pass through the checking sensor 31d, and the credit unit 22 is changed to nine.

The coins 32 passing through the checking sensor 31d may or may not pass through the spin sensor 31e.

In the case where three spin sensors 31e are arranged, if the spin sensor 31e passes through the center of the spin sensors 31e, 1 is displayed on the screen of the reel 21 and the reel 21 rotates once.

Then, the score is added to the bank unit 23 by the rule that the same shape is laterally matched while the reel 21 is stopped and rotated.

In addition, when the coins 32 pass through the left and right spin sensor 31e, bonus points are added to the bonus part 24, and the bonus points can be converted into credits, and when the 5,000 points are exchanged for gift certificates. You may.

Once the coins 32 have been used in this way, the coins 32 can be used again by bonus points (for example, one credit for 50 points), and the game ends. Will be.

As a result of the driving of the reel 21, a combination corresponding to the award table is accumulated in the bank unit 23.

For example, if the score accumulated in the bank unit 23 is 5,000 points or more, as described above, the product button provided in the operation button 13 is pressed, and one gift certificate is issued for the 5,000 points. It will be discharged through 12).

The game method itself described as described above is described as an example according to a general method commonly known and accepted. Of course, the game method in each game machine may be variously designed according to each configured element.

However, the present invention is coin type 32 and the transparent cover as the coin type 32 which is forcedly circulated and dropped through the transfer path 33 in the course of performing the game method as described above is used repeatedly and infinitely. In the structural problem in which static electricity occurs due to mutual access between the plates 37, by forming an antistatic hole 36 on the transparent cover plate 37 of the transfer passage 33, the static electricity generating conditions to minimize the static electricity It is to provide an advantage that can be effectively solved through a simple yet simple structure that can prevent the occurrence of.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above-described preferred embodiment, and anyone who has ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention belongs without departing from the gist of the present invention as claimed in the utility model registration claims It will be apparent that changes can be made.

As described above, according to the present invention, by forming an antistatic hole on the transparent cover plate of the transfer passage and the side inclined portion that the coins are in contact, the transparent cover plate in the process of the coin flows through the transfer passage By reducing the contact area by the approach of the coins and the maximum has the effect of preventing the occurrence of static electricity.

In addition, even when dust is generated while being worn in the coins or transfer passages, cleaning can be performed with strong suction force from the outside through the anti-static hole, so that maintenance can be easily performed, and thus durability of the coin flow circulator. And there is an effect that can provide a desirable structure in terms of preventing malfunction.
