Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a winning device for a gaming machine, and more particularly to a winning device for a gaming machine that can be used by being attached to a game portion of a game board and allowing a single hit ball to be won.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, in the first type gaming machine, a special symbol (special symbol) and a normal symbol (common symbol) are used as variable display symbols. The main game game uses a special figure, and the usual figure is used as a subgame.
[0003]
Here, the ordinary figure is for operating a normal electric accessory (ordinary electricity) with a stop symbol. The ordinary electric train is provided at the special drawing start portion, and by assisting the winning, it is possible to increase the number of special drawing starting as compared with the normal winning.
In this case, in the normal gaming state, the normal figure is rotated for a long time (for example, about 30 seconds) or is in a low probability state (for example, 1/15), so the hit per unit time The number of symbol stops is small, and the number of times the public train is opened is small. On the other hand, when the time is shortened (for example, about 5 seconds) or in the high probability state (for example, 1 / 1.5), the symbol rotation time is shortened or the symbol is easy to hit and stops easily. As a result, the number of stoppages per unit time will increase, and there will also be more special figure opening entrance prizes due to the opening of the electric train.
[0004]
On the other hand, the player is in an advantageous state because the number of times of starting the figure is increased, so more winnings for the opening of the figure start (for example, about 10 per minute) are required. As a result, the ball rental sales at the game hall will decrease, so in order to reduce the number of prize balls, the usual figure starting prize entrance is just a ball passage opening without a prize ball for operating the ordinary figure starting switch. It has become.
[0005]
The warp arranged on the game board guides a ball entered from the warp entrance to a warp exit provided in another place in advance through a passage such as the back of the board. The warp entrance is usually disposed beside the center case through which the game ball passes or is disposed at the upper part of the center case integrally with the center case. Further, the warp outlet is provided integrally with the lower part of the center case located at the upper part of the special figure starting port.
[0006]
Then, the sphere guided to the warp outlet falls while slowly falling on the center case floor and entangled with a special drawing start port provided under the center case. In other words, the sphere that has entered the warp is entangled with the special drawing start port more advantageously than falling in the normal board surface while being reflected by the nail, so the nail is adjusted at the warp inlet to limit the warp inflow amount. .
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the gaming machine having the above-described general-purpose start opening (gate) and warp has the following problems.
[0008]
(1) . If the gate and warp are provided as separate parts on the game board, it is necessary to adjust the nail for winning and adjust the nail after passing the game ball. The adjustment was troublesome.

(2) . If the gate and warp are set separately on the game board, the nail requires a guide nail (guide part), an amount adjustment nail that adjusts the amount of flow into the entrance, etc., and occupies a considerable area on the game board surface . For this reason, the place to arrange | position is also limited, and restrictions also apply to arrangement | positioning of accessories, such as a center case.
[0011]
(3) . Since a special symbol display device is installed at the center of the game board, the gate is often installed on the side of the display device away from the center of the board surface. Often falls toward the outlet.
[0012]
(4) . When a winning device (gate) is used for normal start (sub game) and only passes, even if winning, there is no expectation of a prize ball or the like and it will not be watched.
[0013]
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

You may comprise. Alternatively, instead of displaying numbers on the special figure display device 15, a picture, a mark, or the like may be displayed.
[0027]
The operation contents of the special winning opening 21 are those that are easy to accept from the first state (a disadvantageous state for the player) that does not accept the hit ball existing in the game area 2 on condition that the above-described numbers match. The state changes to a state of 2 (a state advantageous to the player). More specifically, the big prize opening 21 itself is closed before the big prize opening 21 is actuated, and even if a hit ball comes close to the big prize opening 21, no prize is won. On the other hand, after the operation of the special winning opening 21, the special winning opening 21 is opened, and a hit ball existing in the game area 2 is accepted. And accepted This Prize balls are discharged according to the number of hit balls. Here, the operation method of the special winning opening 21 is not limited to the above-described one. For example, the opening / closing may be repeated within a predetermined time, or when a predetermined number of hit balls are received, You may control to close the opening | mouth 21. FIG.

Next, in relation to the special figure display device 15 and the special figure start port 19 described above, the operation timing and the like of the winning device 26, 27 according to the present invention and the universal figure display device 22 linked to the winning device 26, 27 are described. explain.
[0029]
First, when the hit ball in the game area 2 is received by the winning device 26 (or 27), the general-purpose display device 22 operates. The universal map display device 22 in this embodiment has a function of arbitrarily displaying a single-digit number after a predetermined time has elapsed. Then, when the displayed number matches a predetermined number, the ordinary electric accessory 20 is operated, which is advantageous for the player.
[0030]
Specifically, for example, assuming that the predetermined number is “7”, the gaming machine maintains the normal state when the number on the general-purpose display device 22 is other than “7”. On the other hand, when “7” is displayed on the general-purpose display device 22, the ordinary electric accessory 20 constituting the special figure starting port 19 is opened to be advantageous to the player. For this reason, a hit ball that passes in the vicinity of the special figure starting port 19 is easier to be received by the special figure starting port 19 than in the normal gaming state. Then, when a hit ball is received in the special figure starting port 19, the special figure display device 15 operates as described above, and the special winning opening 21 is opened on condition that the numbers match, which is advantageous for the player. A situation is more likely to occur.
[0031]
As described above, when the hitting ball 26 is received by the winning device 26 (or 27), the general-purpose display device 22 operates. However, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the next hitting ball is in the winning device 26 (or 27) during operation. ) Is stored, and the next operation is started after the previous operation is completed. Therefore, even when the hit ball is continuously received by the winning device 26 (or 27), the hit ball is treated as effective. However, in this embodiment, it has a function of storing four hit balls accepted by the winning device 26 (or 27), and is provided in the general-purpose display device 22 according to the number of hit balls stored. It is displayed on the general-purpose memory display unit 22A.
[0032]
[Configuration and function of the winning device]
Next, the winning devices 26 and 27 described above will be described more specifically. Here, since one winning device 26 and the other winning device 27 are formed symmetrically and disposed in the game area 2 described above, one winning device 26 will be described here.
[0033]
First, in FIG. 2, the code | symbol 51 shows the fan-shaped attachment board | substrate (base plate) expanded toward upper direction. The mounting board 51 is fixed at a predetermined position in the game area 2 described above. Here, the peripheral corners generated due to the plate thickness of the mounting substrate 51 are cut out except for the mounting portions 51a and 51b and the lower end edge, whereby the periphery of the mounting substrate 51 and the surface of the game area 2 are removed. The step between is relaxed. Accordingly, sufficient consideration is taken so that the momentum of the reflection of the game ball is not blocked by the mounting substrate 51 portion.
[0034]
At the center of the upper end portion of the mounting substrate 51, a winning portion 52 is projected. The winning portion 52 includes a protection plate member 53 that is formed in a fan shape that extends upward and is smaller than the mounting substrate 51, and the protection plate member 53 is fixed to the mounting substrate 51 at its upper end and at the center. And a spacer 54 having a ball passing port 54A for dropping a winning ball.
At the same time, in the winning portion 52, a space portion that communicates with the outside along the mounting substrate 51 is set between the lower end portion of the protective plate member 53 and the mounting substrate 51 described above. For this reason, at the lower end portion of the protection plate member 53, the hit ball can freely enter and exit in the left-right direction or the downward direction along the mounting substrate 51.
[0035]
The mounting substrate 51 has an opening 51A through which a game ball can flow in at the center of the lower end. In addition, on the back side of the mounting substrate 51 connected to the opening 51A, when the opening 51A is configured for warping, the inflow ball is guided to another part of the game area 2, and the opening Part 51A Winning opening In this case, a ball channel 59 (see FIG. 6) for guiding the inflow ball as a winning ball on the back of the game board is projected. Here, in the present embodiment, the opening 51A is formed in a tunnel shape having a rectangular lower end and a semicircular upper end.
[0036]
Furthermore, the lower end edge of the opening 51A and the inner bottom surface 59A of the ball channel 59 are directed toward the center of the game area 2 in accordance with a hit ball receiving surface 57A that is an upper surface of a hit ball receiving plate (hit guide) 57 described later. It has an inclined surface that is lowered. As a result, the central portion side of the above-described game area 2 of the opening 51A is somewhat expanded downward, and at this point, the game ball can easily enter the opening 51A. At the same time, the inner bottom surface 59A of the spherical flow path 59 forms an inclined surface such that the protruding end side is lowered. For this reason, the game ball that has entered the ball flow path 59 can move toward the back of the game board by its own weight.
[0037]
Also, the spacer 54 portion of the winning portion 52 is detachably equipped with a game ball detection sensor 55 as a game ball detection means from the back side of the mounting board 51 described above. The game ball detection sensor 55 is a magnetic sensor in this embodiment. The guide rails 56A and 56B having a U-shaped cross-section for guiding and holding the game ball detection sensor 55 are parallel to the back side of the mounting substrate 51 with a predetermined interval therebetween. Projected.
[0038]
Further, a strip-shaped sensor locking plate 56C projects from the mounting board 51 in a space in a lower portion between the guide rails 56A and 56B. This strip-shaped sensor locking plate 56C has a locking claw 56Ca for locking the sensor at the tip, and a spring effect that presses the game ball detection sensor 55 on the upper side of the guide rails 56A and 56B. Projecting from the mounting board 51 along the rails 56A and 56B. Then, by operating the protruding end portion of the sensor locking plate 56C, the game ball detection sensor 55 can be detachably mounted on the mounting board 51 through the guide rails 56A and 56B. Yes.
[0039]
A hitting ball receiving plate 57 serving as a hitting ball guiding portion projects from the lower end portion of the mounting substrate 51 on the front side of the opening 51A. The hitting ball receiving plate 57 protrudes from the mounting substrate 51 to the front side in a state where the hitting ball receiving surface 57A, which is the upper surface thereof, includes the lower end edge of the opening 51A on the same surface. The hit ball receiving plate 57 has a function of guiding the hit ball that has passed through the winning portion 52 (detected by the game ball detecting sensor 55) to flow down in a predetermined direction on the front surface of the game board.
Here, in the present embodiment, the hitting ball receiving surface 57A of the hitting ball receiving plate 57 is formed so that the ball that has passed through the winning portion 52 is guided from the center of the game area 2 ( In FIG. 3, the inclined surface is in a state of being lowered toward the right).
[0040]
Further, on the lower side of the protective plate member 53 of the winning portion 52, a hit ball distributing portion (distributing means) for distributing the winning ball that has passed through the winning portion 52 to either the opening 51A or the hit ball receiving surface 57A described above. 58 is provided.
[0041]
As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the hit ball distributing portion 58 is formed in a protruding shape inside the lower end portion of the protective plate member 53 constituting a part of the winning portion 52 in the present embodiment. Yes. For this reason, the hit ball that has passed through the ball passage opening 54A of the winning portion 52 and dropped is collided with the protruding hit ball distributing portion 58 provided at the lower end portion of the protective plate member 53 and bounced back to the opening 51A or hit ball. It is distributed to either the left or right of the receiving surface 57A.
[0042]
[Action of the winning device]
When a game ball passes and falls through the ball passage opening 54A of the winning portion 52 in the winning device 26 shown in FIG. 2, first, the gaming ball detection sensor 55 detects this and sends a detection signal to an overall control portion (not shown). Based on the detection signal, the general-purpose display device 22 operates. Next, as described above, the game ball that has passed through the ball passage opening 54A collides with the protruding hitting ball sorting portion 58 provided below and is rebounded to the opening 51A or the hit ball receiving surface 57A.
[0043]
And the game ball which flowed into 51 A of opening parts is handled as a prize ball or a warp ball as mentioned above.
On the other hand, the game balls distributed toward the hit ball receiving surface 57A are guided toward the center of the game area 2 because the hit ball receiving surface 57A is an inclined surface as described above, and again the center. It falls while being entangled with the special drawing starting port 19 etc. provided under the case.
[0044]
Here, in the above embodiment, the case where the hitting ball receiving surface 57A is an inclined surface is exemplified, but it may be formed so as to have an arc-shaped cross section gently and horizontally.
[0045]
【Example】
Next, a specific example of the above-described distribution means (hit ball distribution unit) constituting the main part of the winning device will be described.
[0046]
[ Example (1) ]
This is shown in FIG. This embodiment (1) is characterized in that the distribution portion 61 is formed of a rib-like inclined protrusion provided on the hitting ball receiving surface 57A of the hitting ball receiving plate 57. Here, the hit ball receiving surface 57A of the hit ball receiving plate 57 has a gentle arc-shaped cross section in FIG. 8A, but is uniformly inclined toward the game area 2 as in FIG. It may be an inclined surface .
Specifically, the distribution portion 61 is disposed on the hitting ball receiving surface 57A of the hitting ball receiving plate 57 described above along the extension line of the central axis of the opening 51A of the mounting substrate 51, and the hitting ball receiving plate 57. This is a rib-like inclined protrusion that is inclined in a wedge shape (cut out) obliquely from the protruding end portion toward the opening 51A of the mounting substrate 51. .

It forms an inclined surface with a minute inclination. Further, in this embodiment (3), as shown in FIG. 8C, the position of the lower end edge of the opening 51A is set to a position slightly higher than the hit ball receiving surface 57A of the hit ball receiving plate 57, thereby opening the opening. The amount of game balls entering the part 51A is adjusted. Other configurations are the same as those in the embodiment (1) of FIG. .
[0050]
For this reason, according to the distribution part 63 of this Example (3), as shown in FIG.8 (C), since the width | variety of a game ball reflective surface is wider than the said Example (1)-(2), a winning part A game ball that has passed through the ball passage opening 54A of 52 and dropped is sent to the opening 51A with a relatively high probability. .
[0051]
[ Example (4) ]
This is shown in FIG. This embodiment (4) is characterized in that the distributing portion 64 is formed by a pyramidal protrusion provided at the game ball falling point on the hit ball receiving plate 57 described above. .
More specifically, the pyramidal projections as the distribution unit 64 form a pyramid shape whose tip and corners are rounded to such an extent that the dropped game ball is not damaged. The side is disposed at a position shifted by 45 degrees with respect to the mounting substrate 51 described above. Other configurations are the same as those in the embodiment (1) of FIG. .
[0052]
Therefore, according to the distribution unit 64 of this embodiment (4), as shown in FIG. 8D, the game ball that has passed through the ball passage port 54A is reflected by the distribution unit 64 and sent to the opening 51A. Be .
On the other hand, in the distribution portion 64 of this embodiment (4), the collision position of the falling ball is the ridge line portion of the pyramid-shaped protrusion at the optimum position, and in a direction away from the opening 51A even if slightly shifted from it. Because of reflection, the probability of going to the opening 51A is extremely low. .
[0053]
[ Example (5) ]
This is shown in FIG. This embodiment (5) is characterized in that the distribution unit 65 is configured by a game ball guide surface provided so as to protrude inside the lower end portion of the protective plate member 53 constituting the winning portion 52. .

【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is configured and functions as described above, according to this, the following effects can be obtained.
[0061]
In the first aspect of the present invention, a winning portion having a game ball detection sensor and an opening portion of the gaming portion ( Winning opening ) Can be installed in the same location, so it is possible to reduce the inconvenience of the conventional example, especially the trouble of adjusting the nail in the game hall, which was caused by providing the gate and opening on the game board separately. It is possible to maintain the expectation that the sphere entering the gate flows into the opening, and at the same time, the area occupied by the gate and the opening on the board can be reduced, and the board layout is free. It became possible to take a large degree.
[0062]
Further, the projecting hit ball distributing unit and the hit ball guiding unit function in conjunction with each other, and the falling direction of the falling game ball is changed in any direction by the hit ball distributing unit, and the hit ball guiding unit receives the opening. Guided in the club or in the direction of the center of the game department, so that it does not impair the player's interest and also takes time to adjust the nail Disappears. Also, if the falling position of the game ball from the ball passage opening is on the center line of the opening, the receiving ball of the inclined protrusion has a planar shape instead of a point. If there is a possibility of being sent into the opening with a relatively high probability without being played, and if the opening is a winning opening from which the winning ball comes out by the inflow of gaming balls, the expectation of the winning ball by inflow of gaming balls In this respect, it is possible to obtain an interest unlike a prize-winning club that only passes a switch. .
[0063]
Also, A pair of rotatable windmills were attached between the winning board and the hitting ball guide part of the mounting board and on both sides of the falling path of the game balls that passed through the ball passage opening, and the pair of windmills passed the ball passage opening. Since the game balls are guided to fall, it is possible to slightly change the falling direction of the game balls guided by the wind turbines by appropriately tilting the support shafts of the wind turbines. Probability of the game ball that is guided by the protrusion and the hitting guide portion and enters the opening can be appropriately changed. .
[0064]
The invention described in claim 2 functions in the same manner as the invention described in claim 1 described above, and the game ball, which is guided to drop by the hitting ball guide portion by the action of the hitting ball guide portion (hit ball receiving plate), enters the opening portion. Alternatively, it is possible to guide the game ball that has deviated from the opening to the central portion side of the game unit. In this respect, even a game ball that is out of the opening can be set so that it can be used effectively in a game game until the end. .
