[0005]
  The frame-like winning device includes a holding portion that can hold only one game ball, is accommodated in a circular hole recessed in the play floor, rotates along the inner periphery of the hole, and the holding is performed by the rotation. A disc-shaped rotating body that changes the position of the part, and if the game ball that has rolled on the floating floor falls into the holding part, it holds this and the game ball that has not fallen into the holding part passes above, A rotating body for dropping the game ball held in the holding portion when the holding portion comes on a drop opening provided at the bottom of the hole by the rotation;Rotation driving means for driving the rotating body;A guide path for guiding a game ball dropped from the rotating body to the drop port to the specific port;Since the game ball that has flowed in from the inflow port is held by the holding part of the rotating body, this can be surely guided to the specific port.
[0006]
For example, in the case of the second type special electric accessory, since it is a condition for continuous operation (continuation of the opening operation) that a game ball enters a specific entrance called V winning a prize opening or simply V, the specific opening If it is set as the V prize opening, it will be easy to continue the operation, which will be pleasing to the player. Moreover, it can use similarly as a prize-winning apparatus which requires the same winning opening as a V winning opening other than a 2nd type special electric accessory.
[0007]
Note that the rotating body may always be rotated, or may be rotated when some condition is satisfied.
The rotating body can also be used as a course changing member for changing the course of the game ball in the frame-type winning device. In that case, it is more effective to change the course of the game ball if the rotating body is provided with pins, irregularities, inclined surfaces, and the like.

[0009]
  In this bullet ball game machine, the determination means determines whether the game ball has hit the symbol start opening, and the determination means determines the hit and the display control means displays the determination result.LCD panelBy the initial opening and closing means due to the fact that the winning display was made by the liquid crystal panelOpening and closing drive meansTo open the inlet. The opening may be intermittently repeated for a short period of time, for example, about 0.4 seconds, as in the case of the conventional type 2 special electric accessory. You may continue to open up to about 30 seconds. In addition, the opening of the inflow port is, for example, when the number of game balls that flowed in during the opening time (the total time or number of times in the case of intermittent opening) reaches the upper limit, the game ball enters the specific mouth The process is terminated when an appropriately set condition is satisfied.
[0010]
  If any of the game balls that flowed in during the opening of the inflow port enters the specific port, the continuous opening / closing means is caused by this.Opening and closing drive meansTo open the inlet. That is, if a ball is entered into the specific opening, the frame-type winning device can be opened again. Then, when the inflow port is closed next, if any of the game balls that flowed in during the opening of that time have entered the specific port, again by the continuous opening and closing meansOpening and closing drive meansCan be operated to open the inlet. That is, it can be operated in the same manner as a pachinko machine equipped with a conventional second type special electric accessory. The opening of the inlet by the continuous opening / closing means may be in the same form as the opening by the initial opening / closing means described above, and the conditions for closing may be the same.
[0011]
  Claim 2The listed ball game machineClaim 1In the bullet ball game machine described above, the initial opening / closing means is configured such that when the winning indication is made by the liquid crystal board and the game ball enters the accessory starting port,Opening and closing drive meansThe variable device is configured to open the inflow port by operating the valve and change between an inhibition state that inhibits entry into the accessory start port and an easy state that facilitates entry into the accessory start port.

[0012]
  This bullet ball game machine is provided with an accessory starting port, and a variable device that changes between an obstructed state that inhibits entry into the accessory starting port and an easy state that facilitates entry into the accessory starting port. When the winning indication is made on the liquid crystal panel, the opening control means makes the variable device an easy state, and when the game ball enters the accessory starting opening in the easy state, the initial opening and closing meansOpening and closing drive meansTo open the inlet.
[0013]
That is, it can be said that the game is complicated because the entrance to the accessory starting port is added as a condition for operating the initial opening / closing means. Further, since the conditions for operating the initial opening / closing means are slightly strict, if the other conditions remain the same, it is possible to set a larger number of prize balls that can be obtained in one big hit.
[0014]
  Claim 3The listed ball game machineClaim 1 or 2In the described ball game machine, since the rotation control means for controlling the rotation drive means is provided, for example, it is possible to normally stop the rotating body and rotate it when the inflow opening is completed. . According to the provisions for the Type 2 special electric accessory, when the above-mentioned V prize opening is won, the opening of that time is terminated and the next opening is started. You may feel like you did. However, if the rotating body is rotated when the opening of the inflow port is finished, the possibility of winning a V at the initial stage of opening can be extremely reduced even if there is a case where a V prize is awarded regardless of the operation of the rotating body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
[0016]
【Example】
FIG. 1 is a front view of a game board 10 of a pachinko machine according to the present embodiment. Since the configuration of the pachinko machine other than that shown in FIG. 1 is in accordance with a known technique, illustration and description thereof are omitted.
[0017]
In the game board 10, a substantially circular game area 14 is formed inside the outer rail 12a and the inner rail 12b. A central winning device 16 corresponding to a frame-like winning device is installed in the approximate center of the game area 14, and a winning device or the like is arranged so as to surround it. Specifically, the lamp wind turbine 18 and the winning chuckers 20, 22, and 24 are arranged in pairs on the left and right sides of the central winning device 16, respectively, and a double winning tulip is located below the central winning device 16. A winning device 26 is installed.
[0018]
On the back side of the tulip winning device 26, an accessory starting port 30 and a symbol starting port 32 are provided. In the illustrated state where a pair of opening and closing blades 34 are raised, the winning ball is guided to the symbol starting port 32 for opening and closing. In the state where the blades 34 are opened to the left and right, the winning ball is guided to the accessory starting port 30. That is, the tulip winning device 26 corresponds to a variable device that changes between an inhibition state that inhibits entry into the accessory starting port 30 and an easy state that facilitates entry into the accessory starting port 30.
[0019]
A warp outlet 28 is provided obliquely below the central winning device 16 (above the winning chucker 24), and an out port 36 is provided below the tulip winning device 26. Further, a large number of obstacle nails 38, only a part of which are shown, are driven on the game board 10.
[0020]
As shown in FIG. 2, the central winning device 16 is attached to the game board 10 by fixing a board 42 protruding in a bowl shape from the outer periphery of the frame body 40 to the game board 10 with screws (not shown). ing. An upper decoration 46 having a warp inlet 44 is disposed above the frame body 40, and a pair of left and right inflow ports 48 are formed between the frame body 40 and the upper decoration 46. In addition, a pair of swing blades 50 are attached to the substrate 42 as opening / closing members that open and close the inflow port 48. These oscillating blades 50 have their shafts rotatably supported by the substrate 42 in the vicinity of the upper corner portion of the frame body 40, and are arranged behind the substrate 42 and are rotary solenoids corresponding to opening / closing drive means. 52, the closed position (see FIG. 1) for closing the inlet 48 and the open position (see FIG. 2) for opening the inlet 48 and guiding the game ball flowing down from above into the inlet 48. Oscillating displacement.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 3, the rotary solenoid 52 includes a cylindrical case 52a, a rotating shaft 52b concentric with the case 52a, a permanent magnet 52c fixed to the rotating shaft 52b and rotating together with the rotating shaft 52b, and a case 52a containing an iron core. The coil 52d is fixed to the side. The coils 52d are arranged one by one at a position serving as a reference with the rotating shaft 52b interposed therebetween to form a pair. The permanent magnet 52c has a shape obtained by scraping a part of a cylinder with a pair of parallel surfaces, and the width of the curved surface portion substantially coincides with the width of the coil 52d.
[0022]
When the coil 52d is not energized, the rotary solenoid 52 is brought into a ground state in which the curved portion faces the coil 52d as shown in FIG. 3 (c) by attracting the permanent magnet 52c and the iron core. On the other hand, when the coil 52d is energized, the permanent magnet 52c and the magnetic force generated in the coil 52d are repelled to change from a base position shown in FIG. Further, when the energization to the coil 52d is stopped, the ground state is restored by the attracting between the permanent magnet 52c and the iron core. Therefore, no return spring or the like is required.
[0023]
The rotary shaft 52b of the rotary solenoid 52 is fitted into the shaft of the swinging blade 50, and the case 52a is fixed to the back side of the substrate 42 so that the swinging blade 50 is in the closed position in the base state when not energized. . When the coil 52d is energized, the rotary solenoid 52 changes to a driving state and rotates the rotary shaft 52b by about 90 degrees, thereby displacing the swing blade 50 to the open position. Further, when the energization to the coil 52d is cut off, the rotary solenoid 52 returns to the ground state, and accordingly, the swing blade 50 is returned to the closed position.
[0024]
As shown in FIG. 2, the frame body 40 includes a ceiling plate 54 arranged along the bottom of the upper decoration 46. The ceiling plate 54 has a gentle slope with a high inlet 48 and a low central portion, and the ceiling plate 54 has a gentle V-shape. The board 42 is provided with a winning entrance 56 corresponding to a portion corresponding to the bottom of the ceiling board 54. For this reason, the game ball that has flowed in from the inflow port 48 moves on the upper surface of the ceiling plate 54 and flows out from the winning entrance 56 to the back of the substrate 42. In addition, a passage sensor 57 for detecting a game ball passing through the winning entrance 56 is attached to the back surface of the board 42, and the gaming ball passing through the winning entrance 56 can be detected.
[0025]
A display window 64 is provided at the rear end of the frame 40, and a transparent filter 66 is fitted therein. A rear plate 60 is disposed in contact with the lower edge of the display window 64.
A display device 67 having a liquid crystal panel 65 corresponding to a display whose surface is covered with a transparent filter is attached behind the display window 64, and the liquid crystal panel 65 can be seen through the display window 64.
[0026]
On the other hand, on the bottom side of the frame body 40, a front plate 58 is erected along the extended surface of the substrate 42, and a ball outlet 58 a is provided at the center of the front plate 58. Further, the front plate 58 is parallel to the rear plate 60, and the distance between the front plate 58 and the rear plate 60 is sufficiently larger than the diameter of the game ball, so that the game ball can move. Further, the bottom plate 62 that is provided between the front plate 58 and the rear plate 60 is provided with a gentle inclination in which the vicinity of the ball outlet 58a is lowest, and the game ball that moves on the bottom plate 62 has a ball outlet. It is guided to 58a and flows out from here to the near side.
[0027]
On the front side of the front plate 58, a floating floor 68 that is slightly higher and gently inclined on the front plate 58 side is connected, and the floating floor 68 holds a rotating body 70.
The rotating body 70 has a disk shape, a part of which is cut into a circular shape slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball to form a holding portion 70a, and a transverse projection 70b is erected along a string that avoids the holding portion 70a. Yes. The rotating body 70 is rotationally driven by an ultrasonic motor 72 serving as a rotational driving means disposed on the back side of the floating floor 68.
[0028]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a groove is formed between the floating floor 68 and the front edge 40 a of the frame body 40, and by dividing the groove, a normal winning opening corresponding to the internal entry hole is formed. 74a, 74b and a V winning opening 76 are formed, and the V winning opening 76 is a specific opening. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the floating floor 68 is provided with a drop opening 78, and a guide path 80 that connects the drop opening 78 and the V winning opening 76 is provided on the back side of the floating floor 68. The drop port 78 is under the track of the holding unit 70a when the rotating body 70 rotates. When the holding unit 70a comes on the drop port 78, the game ball held by the holding unit 70a falls on the drop port 78. To do. Then, the game ball that has dropped to the drop opening 78 enters the V winning opening 76 through the guide path 80.
[0029]
Further, a warp kite 82 is attached to the central winning device 16. As shown in FIG. 2, the warp rod 82 is composed of an in-device warp path 82 a and an out-of-device warp path 82 b, and the in-apparatus warp path 82 a The outside warp path 82b is a rod that guides the game ball that has entered the warp inlet 44 to the warp outlet 28. The warp pad 82 is attached to the back of the game board 10.
[0030]
Next, a configuration related to the control of the operation of the central winning device 16 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the control device 100 that controls the central winning device 16, the tulip winning device 26, the display device 67, and the like is a microcomputer having a known CPU 100a, ROM 100b, RAM 100c, input circuit 100d, output circuit 100e, and the like. It is. The control device 100 controls not only the above-described central winning device 16 and the like, but also various electrical components of the pachinko machine. However, since these electrical components and their control are not related to the present invention, illustration and explanation are omitted. To do.
[0031]
The input circuit 100d of the control device 100 includes a symbol start switch 32a that detects a game ball that passes through the symbol start port 32, an accessory start switch 30a that detects a game ball that passes through the accessory start port 30, a passage sensor 57, A V switch 76a that detects a game ball that has won a prize in the V prize opening 76, a normal prize switch 74c that detects a game ball that has won a prize in a normal prize opening 74a, 74b, and the like are connected, and a tulip winning device 26, A rotary solenoid 52, an ultrasonic motor 72, a display device 67, and the like are connected.
[0032]
While the pachinko machine is in operation, the control device 100 repeatedly executes the central winning device control routine shown in FIG. 6 at a set timing.
In this routine, the control device 100 first determines the presence / absence of a game ball that has passed through the symbol start port 32 based on a signal from the symbol start switch 32a (step 201; hereinafter, step is abbreviated as S). If the game ball has passed the symbol start port 32 (S201: YES), the control device 100 determines a hit / fail (S202). In the case of the present embodiment, the RAM 100c of the control device 100 is provided with a counter that updates a numerical value every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) and repeatedly counts 0 to 199 in ascending order. , The count value is read when an affirmative determination is made in S201, and whether or not the hit is determined is determined by whether or not the count value matches the hit value. In addition, there are a low probability that the hit value is any one of 0 to 199 and a high probability that any one of 0 to 199 is 10 and is initially a low probability, If the symbol used in the winning display is a probability variation symbol, the symbol is determined with a high probability until the next symbol is determined to be a hit (so-called probability variation).
[0033]
Next, the control device 100 determines a winning symbol or a missing symbol according to the determination result, and sends it to the display device 67 for display (S203). When the display device 67 receives an instruction from the control device 100, the display device 67 displays the symbols on the liquid crystal panel 65 in a variably displayed manner, and displays the winning symbols or the detached symbols on a stationary basis.
[0034]
When the winning symbol is displayed, the control device 100 opens the tulip winning device 26 until about 6 seconds or 10 winnings are received (S205), and the game ball is started by the signal of the accessory starting switch 30a. When it is confirmed that the nozzle 30 has passed (S206: YES), the rotary solenoid 52 is energized to swing the swing blade 50 four times (once for 0.4 seconds) (S207). As a result, the inflow port 48 is opened four times and the central winning device 16 can be awarded. Next, the control device 100 operates the ultrasonic motor 72 to rotate the rotating body 70 once (S208). As shown in FIG. 2, the initial position of the rotating body 70 is a position where the holding portion 70a is slightly left of the center, starts rotating from this position, and stops again at this position. Here, if the game ball is held by the holding portion 70 a, the game ball falls to the drop opening 78 and enters the V winning opening 76 through the guide path 80. If there is a detection signal from the V switch 76a (S209: YES), the control device 100 executes a continuous operation subroutine (S210).
[0035]
As shown in FIG. 7, in the continuous operation subroutine, the control device 100 first energizes the rotary solenoid 52 to swing the swing blade 50 for 0.4 seconds (S301). Next, it is determined whether or not the V winning opening 76 has been won (S302). At this time, since the rotating body 70 is not rotating, the game ball that has flowed out from the ball outlet 58a is often caught by the holding portion 70a or guided by the transverse protrusion 70b to win the normal winning opening 74b. There is also a possibility that the game ball that has flowed out of the vehicle passes over the cross projection 70b and falls to the V winning opening 76.
[0036]
If the determination in S302 is affirmative, the control device 100 stops energization of the rotary solenoid 52 and temporarily closes the opening of the inlet 48 (S308). If the determination is negative, the control device 100 detects (enters the central winning device 16). It is determined whether or not the number of game balls has reached 10 (S303). If the number has not reached 10, it is determined whether or not the number of opening of the inlet 48 has reached the specified number (S304). In the case of the present embodiment, it is determined that the specified number of times has been reached if the number of times of opening is 0.4 seconds and the number of times reaches 75 times (the total opening time is 30 seconds).
[0037]
If the number of game balls that have entered the central winning device 16 has not reached 10 (S303: NO), and the number of releases has not reached the specified number (S304: NO), the control device 100 returns to S301 and flows. The opening operation of the inlet 48 is repeated.
On the other hand, if the number of game balls that have entered the central winning device 16 has reached 10 (S303: YES) or if the number of releases has reached the specified number of times (S304: YES), the control device 100 uses ultrasonic waves as described above. The operation of the motor 72 is started to rotate the rotating body 70 (S305), and the opening operation is temporarily ended (S306).
[0038]
Next, the control device 100 waits for a sufficient time (for example, about 0.5 seconds) for the game ball held in the holding unit 70a to enter the V winning opening 76 as the rotating body 70 rotates. Then, it is determined whether or not the V winning opening 76 has been won (S307). If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to S309 to determine whether the number of rounds has reached the upper limit. The number of rounds is the opening operation since the opening operation of the inflow port 48 is started and the V winning (S302: YES), 10 winning (S303: YES), or the number of opening reaches the specified number (S304: YES). The period until (S306 or S208) is counted as one round. If this has reached the upper limit (15 times in this embodiment, 16 times if the four times opening and closing in S207 are counted as one round) (S309: YES), the control device 100 returns from this subroutine. If the number of rounds has not reached the upper limit (S309: NO), the control device 100 returns to S301 and executes the same processing as described above.
[0039]
As is apparent from this description, the control device 100 functions as a determination unit, a display control unit, an initial opening / closing unit, a continuous opening / closing unit, a starting port control unit, and a rotation control unit.
Although not shown in the flowchart, the control device 100 issues an instruction to the display device 67 every time it is detected by the passage sensor 57 during the execution of the continuous operation process, and the number of detected game balls (so-called Count number) is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 65, and each time the round is updated as described above, the display device 67 is instructed to display the round number.
[0040]
As described above, in the pachinko machine equipped with the central winning device 16 of this embodiment, the player can see information displayed on the liquid crystal panel 65 together with the behavior of the game ball in the central winning device 16. Further, the central winning device 16 is installed in the center of the game board 10 and this position is almost in front of the player. Therefore, even when the central winning device 16 is not in operation, the liquid crystal board 65 has various positions. If such information is displayed, the player can view the information without looking away from the game board surface.
[0041]
Further, the rotating body 70 includes a holding portion 70a that can hold only one game ball, and the position of the holding portion 70a is changed by rotation, so that the holding portion 70a comes above the drop port 78 (disengagement position). The game ball held in the holding unit 70 a is dropped, and the dropped game ball is guided to the V winning award 76 by the guide path 80. In other words, if the game ball is held by the holding portion 70 a of the rotating body 70, it can be surely guided to the V prize opening 76. Then, as in the embodiment, when the game ball enters the V winning opening 76 is a condition for continuing the release operation, the release operation is easily continued, which is pleasing to the player. .
[0042]
The game content of this pachinko machine can be said to be the same as that of a pachinko machine equipped with a conventional type 2 special electric accessory. However, since the entrance to the accessory starting port 30 is a condition for opening and closing the inlet 48 initially, it can be said that the game is complicated. In addition, since the conditions are slightly stricter, it is possible to set a larger number of prize balls that can be obtained in one big hit if other conditions do not change.
[0043]
In addition, since the rotating body 70 is normally stopped and rotated when the opening of the inflow port 48 is finished, even if the V winning opening 76 may be won regardless of the operation of the rotating body 70, The possibility that one round will be ended by winning the V prize opening 76 in the early stage of opening can be made extremely low.
[0044]
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described according to the Example, this invention is not limited to such an Example, and it cannot be overemphasized that it can implement variously in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.
