DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine having a plurality of prize openings on a game board, each of which can independently change a prize area.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a pachinko machine in which a plurality of variable winning ports are provided on a game board, and the plurality of variable winning ports are simultaneously opened. (See, for example,
239880).

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional pachinko machine, since a plurality of variable winning ports are only opened simultaneously at all times, the opening mode is monotonous and lacks interest, and a winning area by opening is provided. However, there was no change at all and it was not enough to enhance the interest of the game.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine capable of increasing the interest of a game by changing the opening pattern of a plurality of winning openings so as to change a winning area. I have.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a pachinko machine according to the present invention forms one prize area by a plurality of prize ports each of which can independently change a prize area. By changing the prize area of all the plurality of prize ports, the prize-possible area of the one prize area is changed over time.

With this configuration, the prize-winning area can be variously changed according to the opening pattern of a plurality of prize openings, thereby attracting the player's interest and increasing the interest in the game. Such a new pachinko machine can be provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein 1 is a pachinko machine main body, 2 is a front frame thereof, and 3 is a game board mounted on a rear surface of a front frame 2. In the game section surrounded by the guide rails 4 of the game board 3,
In a substantially central portion thereof, a plurality of variable winning ports 5a as winning ports capable of independently changing the winning area.
To 5e are provided as a group in a horizontal row, and a variable display device 6 capable of electrically changing a display state at a position above the group is provided.
Is arranged. In addition, the starting winning opening 7 is located below the gaming section.
a, 7b and 7c are provided. One winning area is formed by the plurality of variable winning ports 5a to 5e as a group.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the variable winning openings 5a to 5e have a pair of opening and closing pieces 52, 52 axially mounted on opposite sides of a front surface of a ball entrance 51 formed in the mounting plate 50. A chucker 53 is fixed so as to cover the front part and both sides of the opening / closing pieces 52, 52, and protrudes from the ball inlet 51 to the front surface of the mounting plate 50 in a guide box 54 provided on the rear surface of the mounting plate 50. , 52, a flat U-shaped lever member 57 provided with engaging pins 56, 56 fitted in the engaging holes 55, 55, is rotatably mounted on a shaft 58, and is provided on the rear surface of the lever member 57. The lower end of the plunger 80 of the solenoid 8 as an electric drive source faces the forked groove 59.

When the solenoid 8 is demagnetized, the lever member 57 lowers its front end by the bias of the coil spring 81 wound around the plunger 80 as shown by the solid line in FIG. Opening and closing pieces 52, 52
3 is held in a closed state not accepting a hit ball, and the solenoid 8 is excited to rotate the lever member 57 as shown by the chain line in FIG. , 52 are changed to an open state in which the hit ball shown by the chain line in FIG. 3 can be easily received. That is, the winning area is changed by changing the open / close pieces 52 from the closed state to the open state.

The variable display device 6 has a segment display section 61 for converting and displaying numbers from "0 to 9". In FIG. 2, a detection switch 7 for detecting a winning ball is provided in the passage of each of the starting winning ports 7a, 7b, 7c.
1a, 71b and 71c are provided, respectively. The detection switches 71a, 71b, 71c are provided on a circuit board 9 for driving and controlling the variable display device 6 and the solenoid 8.
Connected to each other. Further, on the circuit board 9, a determination circuit for determining the display when the segment display section 61 is stopped, and a plurality of variable winning ports 5a to 5e as a group are opened in various patterns according to the determination result. And the like.

Next, an example of the operation of the pachinko machine of the present invention will be described. When the hit ball shot on the game board wins one of the start winning openings 7a to 7c, a detection switch 71a is provided.
-71c detects the winning ball and sends a signal to the circuit board 9 to operate the segment display section 61 to convert and display the numbers 0-9. When the number in the segment display section 61 indicates a predetermined number, a signal corresponding to the number is sent to the drive control circuit, and the plurality of variable winning prizes 5a to 5e as a group are accepted by the hit ball in various patterns. The open state is converted to an easy open state, whereby the winning possible area of one winning area is changed.

In the opening pattern, for example, when the number "7" is displayed on the segment display section 61, all the variable winning openings 5a to 5e are opened for 6 seconds. In the case of this opening pattern, the winning area of one winning area is the largest. When the number "5" or "3" is displayed, the group of variable winning openings 5a to 5e are opened for one second in order from the right or the left. In the case of this opening pattern, 1
The prize-possible areas of the two prize-winning areas are sequentially moved, and the varieties are rich. Segment display section 6
When the number "9" is displayed in 1, the center variable winning prize port 5c is opened for one second, and then the variable winning prize port 5 on both sides is first opened.
b and 5d are opened for 2 seconds, and then 5a and 5e are opened for 2 seconds. When the number "1" is displayed, the variable winning openings 5a and 5e on both sides are opened for 1 second, and then 5b and 5d are opened for 1 second. After each opening for 5 seconds, the variable winning opening 5c in the center is opened for 2 seconds. In the case of such an opening pattern, a prize-possible area of one prize area changes with time, so that the player's interest can be attracted and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

[0013] A number other than the above, for example, "2",
When “4”, “6”, and “8” are displayed on the segment display section 61, the variable winning openings 5a to 5e are not opened while being closed. Such an opening pattern,
It is performed by the drive control circuit of the circuit board 9,
Various modifications are possible.

In the present embodiment, the variable winning opening has been described as a so-called tulip type in which a pair of opening and closing pieces are provided to face each other. An attacker type is also conceivable.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, one prize area is formed by a plurality of prize ports whose prize areas can be independently changed, and all of the plurality of prize ports are formed. By changing the area, the prize-winning area of the one prize-winning area is changed over time. Therefore, it is possible to variously change the prize-winning area according to the opening pattern of a plurality of prize openings. It is possible to sufficiently enhance the interest of the game.

[0016] Further, when the prize-winning area is the maximum, the game balls are remarkably easy to win, so that the service to the player can be improved.
