BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a sparrow ball gaming machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a conventional gaming machine using a game ball, for example, a pachinko machine, a variable display device such as a liquid crystal display device is arranged in a center case provided almost at the center of the game area, and the game ball wins a winning prize opening. On the condition that this is done, another game (variable display game) in which a variable display device can display an identification display such as a number at a high speed is displayed. In such a pachinko machine, attention is paid to whether or not the display mode when the game is stopped in another game is established as an award mode such as 7, 7, 7, etc. In recent years, the size of the variable display device tends to increase. As the size increases, the center case also increases in size.
[0003]
Furthermore, in order to enhance not only the size of the variable display device but also the decoration effect in the center case, the decorative parts are also increasing in size, which has also spurred the size of the center case.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, if the center case is enlarged, the visibility of numbers and pictures displayed on the variable display device is improved, and the decorativeness is improved, but the size of the game area is limited. While changing the direction, the area where the game ball flows down is narrowed. For this reason, the game ball hits the nail and rolls while changing the flow direction, and the inconvenience of reducing the enjoyment inherent in the pachinko game that enjoys whether or not to win a prize device in the middle of the flow occurs. In particular, since the game area on both the left and right sides of the center case is narrowed, the change in the movement of the game ball in this portion is reduced.
[0005]
In addition, side lamps are provided on the left and right side edge portions of the game area, and even if this side lamp is eliminated or downsized so that the game ball can reach the left and right peripheral edge portions of the game area, Or, a prize tool cannot be provided immediately below. Therefore, even if the side balls are simply eliminated or the size is reduced so that the game balls can reach the left and right sides of the game area, the game balls that have reached the left and right peripheral parts of the game area can still be given a chance to win a prize. It will be collected at the outlet and will not complement the fun of the game.
[0006]
The present invention has been proposed in view of the circumstances described above, and its purpose is to provide a game ball that can effectively utilize the left and right peripheral portions of the game area even when the center case is enlarged, and that has reached this portion.

In the present embodiment, the first and second guide rails 11 and 13, the upper member 18, and the side member 15 function as partition members of the present invention.
[0016]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the center case 20 is a frame member having a rectangular opening window portion 21 in the center portion, and is mounted on the upper portion of the mounting board 30 attached to the surface of the game board 2 over the entire left and right width. A guide shelf with a hook-shaped armor portion 31 protruding forward, a vertically long side wall portion 32 projecting downward from the left and right inclined end portions of the armor portion 31, and the lower ends of the left and right side wall portions 32 are connected to each other. 33 is provided in a protruding manner, and an opening window portion 21 is opened in a portion surrounded by the armor portion 31, the left and right side wall portions 32, and the guide shelf 33. And the armor part 31 has the upper surface inclined gently downward from the central distribution convex part 34 toward the left-right direction. Therefore, when the game ball that has entered the upper part of the game area 9 flows down to the upper surface of the armor portion 31 of the center case 20, it is distributed to the left side or the right side as shown in FIG. The narrow game area 9 flows down between the vicinity of the upper end and the left end of the center case 20 or between the vicinity of the upper end of the arc surface 14 of the side member 15 and the right end of the center case 20.
[0017]
In a conventional pachinko machine, the game balls that have passed through the upper part of the game area narrowed by the center case are configured to flow down below the center case by the arrangement of nails, and in the vicinity of the left and right peripheral edges of the game area Even if it has flowed down to the point, it has a structure in which a chance of winning a prize cannot be expected (that is, a winning tool cannot be arranged below it), so that the player's interest in the whereabouts of the game ball has diminished.
[0018]
However, in the present invention, the game balls that have passed through the narrow game area 9 flow down over a wide range to the left and right peripheral edges of the game area 9 and still have an opportunity to win a prize. However, paying attention to the whereabouts of game balls, you can enjoy the fun inherent in pachinko games.
[0019]
Next, a configuration for this will be described.
[0020]
First, the side lamp member 26 will be described. Since the left and right sides of the game area 9 are symmetrical and have the same basic structure, the left side lamp member 26 is taken as an example. I will explain.
[0021]
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the side lamp member 26 includes a mounting board 35 attached to the surface of the game board 2, a lens member 36 provided on the front surface of the mounting board 35, and a rear side of the lens member 36. A lamp 37 as a light emitting source provided, a guide rod 38 protruding from the upper portion of the mounting substrate 35 and having an upper surface inclined downward toward the center lower portion of the game area 9, and below the guide rod 38 and in the game area 9 is provided with a side prize device 40 provided on the extended portion 39 of the mounting substrate 35 extending to the center side.
[0022]
The mounting board 35 is a vertically long plate that is bent into a gentle arc shape corresponding to the arc edge of the game area 9, that is, the arc shape of the guide rail 11, and a guide rod 38 is provided at the upper part (a position slightly lowered from the upper end). A plurality of lens openings 41 for mounting the lens member 36 are formed in a lower part of the guide rod 38, and a light-shielding partition wall 42 is formed at the boundary and lower end of the adjacent lens openings 41. Standing in the width direction of the mounting substrate 35, and extending two substantially right-angled triangular extending portions 39 surrounded by horizontal and vertical sides from the inner periphery of the arc toward the center of the game area 9. The side prize-winning tool opening 43 is opened in each extension part 39, and a pocket-shaped side prize-winning tool 40 is attached to the side prize-winning tool opening 43. Detecting a game ball that has been won by providing each device 44 It is configured to. The partition wall 42 described above is formed in the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the lens member 36 described later, and there is no unevenness on the surface of each lens member 36 with the lens member 36 attached, which hinders the flow of the game ball. There is no way. In addition, a decorative concavo-convex portion is integrally formed on the inner peripheral side of the lens opening 41.
[0023]
The guide rod 38 is a shelf-like member whose upper surface is inclined downward toward the lower center of the game area 9, and the inclined upper end protrudes 1 to 2 mm from the outer side edge of the attachment substrate 35, and the inclined lower end is the attachment substrate 35. It is located on the inner side edge. Since the guide rod 38 is formed integrally with the mounting substrate 35 and is separate from the lens member 36, it is difficult to transmit the impact when the game ball hits the lens member 36.
[0024]
  The lens member 36 is a substantially arc-shaped curved box body made of translucent plastic that is molded separately from the mounting substrate 35 and has an open rear surface.(Ie outer periphery)46 is an inner peripheral edge formed by bending with the same curvature as that of the outer peripheral edge of the mounting substrate 35 and having the same curvature as that of the inner peripheral edge of the mounting substrate 35.(Ie inner rim)Is formed with a convex / concave portion corresponding to the above-mentioned decorative concave / convex portion, and the front surface starts from the upper end of the outer peripheral side surface 46.(That is, the front side of the outer side surface 46)From the side of the game area 9 to the surface of the mounting substrate 35, a continuous surface 47 is formed by a curved surface having a substantially S-shaped cross section, and a mountain-shaped concave curved surface in the vicinity of the edge on the inner peripheral side is described below. It becomes a surface that divides the path 48 (see FIG. 8), and an empty space surrounded by the outer peripheral side surface 46 and the edge of the S-shaped curved surface 47 is closed by an end surface wall 49 having the same shape as the partition wall 42. . In this embodiment, four lens members 36 are attached to the side lamp member 26. However, the four lens members 36 are all different in color, and a light emission source is provided for each lens member 36 so that it shines in different colors. It is.
[0025]
In order to attach the lens member 36 to the attachment substrate 35, as shown in FIG. 5, the lens member 36 is fitted into the lens opening 41 from the front side of the attachment substrate 35 and is directed rearward from the lens member 36. The integrally formed locking claw piece 50 is locked to a locking portion (not shown) of the mounting substrate 35. Then, the lamp substrate 51 is attached from the rear side of the mounting substrate 35 and the cover member 52 is covered from the rear side of the lamp substrate 51, and the lamp 37 as a light emission source provided on the lamp substrate 51 is arranged behind the lens member 36. Therefore, when the lamp 37 emits light, this light is transmitted through the front lens member 36 and shines, so that a decorative effect can be exhibited. Further, the adjacent lens members 36 are shielded by the partition wall 42, so A clear luminous decoration effect can be expected without shining with the lamp 37.
[0026]
  Further, when the lens member 36 is attached to the attachment board 35, as shown in FIG.(That is, the inner circumference side)Since the distance from the side surface is set to be larger than the diameter of the game ball, the ball flow path 48 is formed within the distance on the mounting board 35.
[0027]
In addition, each lens member 36 is attached in a state where there is some backlash with respect to the mounting board 35, and is configured so as to buffer the shock when the game ball comes into contact with the backlash, so that the shock is not directly transmitted to the mounting board 35. ing.
[0028]
In order to attach the side lamp member 26 having such a configuration to the surface of the game board 2, the guide rod 38 is positioned at a height at which the lateral width of the game area 9 is maximized, and protrudes outward from the attachment board 35. The inclined upper end (that is, the protruding portion) of the guide rod 38 is brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the second guide rail 13 or the arc surface 14 of the side member 15. If the side lamp members 26 are thus arranged on both sides of the lower portion of the center case 20 and on the left and right peripheral edge portions of the game area 9, they are opened at the upper end, the lower end, and the upper extending portion 39 of the mounting board 35. A fixing member such as a screw is inserted into the fixing hole 55 and fixed. The guide rod 38 arranged in this manner is positioned higher than the guide shelf 33 of the center case 20, and the guide ball 38 can guide the game ball to the guide shelf 33 side.
[0029]
When the side lamp member 26 is fixed to the surface of the game board 2, the inclined upper end of the guide rod 38 is in contact with the second guide rail 13, which is a partition member, and the arc surface 14 of the side member 15. The troublesomeness of matching the curvature of the peripheral edge with the curvature of the partition member is also eliminated.
[0030]
Further, when the side lamp member 26 is fixed to the surface of the game board 2, in the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the game ball flows down to the left and right edges with respect to the game area 9 located on the left and right of the center case 20. In addition, since a chance to win a prize is given to the game balls that have flowed down to the game area 9 in the vicinity of the left and right peripheral edges, the game area 9 is substantially expanded to the left and right and can be used effectively. That is, in the game area 9 on the side of the center case 20, a nail row 60 in which a plurality of nails are obliquely planted in order to guide the flowing game balls below the center case 20 is arranged. Since the empty portions 61 and 62 through which the game balls can pass are formed at the upper and lower ends of the nail row 60, the game balls that have passed through the empty portion 61 above the nail row 60 can flow down to the left and right peripheral edges of the game area 9. In addition, game balls that have passed through the empty portion 62 below the nail row 60 can also flow down to the left and right peripheral edges of the game area 9, and the flow direction of the game ball is irregularly below the lower empty portion 62. Since the so-called windmill 27 is converted into the game ball, the game ball guided and flowed down by the nail row 60 changes the flow direction downward from the center case 20 or flows toward the left and right peripheral edges of the game area 9. Change the direction, game balls It is possible to attract the consciousness of the ball's whereabouts.
[0031]
In order to give a chance to win a game ball that has flowed down to the left and right edges of the game area 9 or in the vicinity thereof, in the present invention, the center of the game area 9 from the inclined lower end of the guide rod 38 of the side lamp member 26 is used. A plurality of nails are arranged facing the lower portion at intervals at which the balls do not fall or stop, thereby forming a ball flow guide nail row 63 and a game beside the inclined lower end of the ball flow guide nail row 63 A ball lowering space 64 where the ball can flow down is formed, and the side winning tool 40 provided on the side lamp member 26 by the game ball is guided (guided) by the ball lowering guide nail row 63 and the guide rod 38. Opportunity to win the winning prize opening 23 or the like, or to play with the nail under the center case 20 and to be placed on the guide shelf 33 of the center case 20 and to be guided from the central outflow portion 33 ′ toward the starting prize winning opening 23. Eteiru. For this reason, in the present invention, the nail planting region 65 in which a nail for guiding the game ball flowing down in the ball flow lower space 64 can be planted with the upper end of the side winning device 40 and the inclination of the guide rod 38. A nail capable of guiding a game ball to the side winning device 40 is planted in the nail planting area 65, and the game ball that has flowed down by jumping over the ball flow lower space 64 is started. A guide nail row 66 that is guided to the winning opening 23 and the like is planted in a state of being inclined downward toward the lower center side.
[0032]
More specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, a pair of life nails 67 are planted on the right and left above the upper prize device 40a at intervals slightly wider than the ball diameter, and the outer edge of the ball flow lower space 64 is formed. A distribution nail 68 capable of guiding a game ball to the life nail 67 side or the periphery of the game area 9 is implanted below, and is guided to the life nail 67 side inside the distribution nail 68 (near the center of the game area 9). A guide nail 69 for guiding the game ball to be guided between the life nails 67 and 67 is installed. In other words, each of these nails forms a ball guide path (region) between the ball flow lower space 64 and the side winning tool 40a.
[0033]
Therefore, the game balls that have flowed down to the left and right peripheral edges of the game area 9 or in the vicinity thereof flow down while being guided toward the center of the game area 9 by the guide rod 38 and the ball flow guide nail row 63, and the ball flow guide nail row 63 The game balls that have fallen in the ball flow down space 64 from the inclined lower end of the ball and changed the flow direction are distributed to the peripheral side of the game area 9 or the side prize device 40a side by the distribution nail 68, and the side prize device 40a side. The game balls distributed to are guided by the guide nails 69 to win the side prize device 40a. On the other hand, the game balls distributed to the peripheral side of the game area 9 flow down through the ball flow path 48 between the side winning device 40a and the lens member 36, flow down as it is, and are collected in the out port 10. . Although this ball flow downway 48 is only a width that allows the balls to pass in a single row, the surface of the lens member 36 is formed of an S-shaped curved surface, so even if a plurality of game balls flow down while competing, Since the game ball is guided to the curved surface and escapes forward (to the glass side), it is possible to prevent the ball from stopping.
[0034]
In addition, a game ball that jumps over the ball flow lower space 64 and flows down on the ball guide nail row 66 wins a winning tool such as a start winning opening 23 arranged at the lower center of the game area 9, or a center. In addition to being given a chance to be flipped by a nail below the case 20 and placed on the guide shelf 33 of the center case 20 and guided from the center outflow portion 33 ′ toward the start winning opening 23, Opportunities are also given to win the arranged lower side prize device 40b.
[0035]
For this reason, a secondary ball falling empty portion 70 is formed on the side of the inclined lower end of the guide nail row 66, and a game ball that has dropped the auxiliary ball falling empty portion 70 can be awarded to the side winning tool 40b disposed below. is there. Specifically, as described above, two extending portions 39 are formed in the mounting substrate 35 of the side lamp member 26 along the extending direction of the partition member, and the lens member 36 is provided in each extending portion 39. The side winning devices 40a and 40b are arranged along the extending direction of the partition member while the distance from the side surface is set to be wider than the diameter of the game ball, and below the extending portion 39a located above and below. An auxiliary nail planting area 71 is formed above the extended portion 39b located at the position, and in this auxiliary nail planting area 71, a nail capable of guiding the game ball to flow down to the side winning device 40b is implanted. Therefore, a ball guiding path (region) is formed between the auxiliary ball lowering space 70 and the side winning tool 40b, and the game ball passing through the auxiliary ball lowering space 70 is guided by the nail to the side winning tool 40b. Can be awarded.
[0036]
The nail to be planted in the secondary nail planting area 71 is a game ball between the secondary ball lowering space 70 and the life nail 73, in addition to the life nails 73 planted right and left just above the side winning device 40b. Is placed so as to guide the game ball between the life nails 73, 73 obliquely above the life nail 73, which is implanted so as to be guided toward the life nail 73 side or near the center of the game area 9. Guide nails 75 and the like.
[0037]
  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even if the center case 20 is enlarged, the game balls can flow down to the left and right peripheral portions of the game area 9 so that the game area 9 having a limited size can be effectively used. Even if the game ball reaches this part, the guide rod 38 provided on the side lamp member 26 and the ball flow guide nail planted from the lower end of the slope toward the center of the game area 9 can be used. Guide the game balls at the row 63 and give them opportunities to win side prizes 40 etc.givebe able to. Therefore, it is possible to give the player the original enjoyment of a pachinko game in which the game ball hits the nail and rolls while changing the flow direction, and enjoys whether or not to win the prize device in the middle of the flow.
[0038]
