Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine including a game board in which a game area is formed and playing a game ball in the game area.

Conventionally, a game such as a pachinko gaming machine or the like in which a plurality of winning holes are provided on a gaming board forming a gaming area, and when a gaming ball is won to the winning hole, the winning ball is discharged as a predetermined value. The machine is known.
The plurality of winning holes provided on the game board are often set so that the number of winning balls to be discharged differs depending on the winning game balls, and the player's expectation changes for each winning hole to win. I was supposed to.

Further, in recent gaming machines, a variation display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of identification information in the game area is provided, and when the variation display game on the variation display device displays a special result, it is advantageous for the player. A gaming machine that generates a special gaming state and converts the variable winning device into an open state is also common. Such a gaming machine includes a start winning port for starting the variable display game based on the winning of a game ball as the winning port, and the player is particularly interested in winning a game ball to the starting winning port. It is supposed to be held.
In addition, in order to improve the player's expectation for winning and the interest in the winning mode, a gaming machine in which a plurality of winning openings are arranged close to each other in the left and right direction of the gaming area is also considered (for example, (See Patent Document 1).
JP-A-5-3952 (2nd page, FIG. 2)

However, in the conventional gaming machine, since a plurality of winning holes are arranged close to each other in the left-right direction, it is necessary to secure a wide arrangement space in the gaming area in order to arrange the winning holes.
However, since a plurality of gaming devices such as a variable display device and a variable winning device are arranged on a game board of a recent gaming machine in addition to a start winning port, the plurality of winning ports are arranged in parallel. It has become difficult.

Furthermore, recently, in order to make the variable display game more interesting, the variable display device is often provided with a display device such as a liquid crystal display device or a CRT display device, and a more impactful expression. In order to obtain the above, a large display device is often provided.
Therefore, a large display device is provided in the game area, so that a space limitation can be made in order to arrange a plurality of winning holes, and it is difficult to arrange the winning holes side by side in the horizontal direction. It has become.

In addition, a general pachinko gaming machine equipped with a variable display device is provided with a (special) variable winning device that opens a game ball so that a winning game can be won in the case of a big win in a variable display game under the variable display device, and A (normal) variable winning device having a start winning opening for starting a variable display game is provided between the variable display device and the variable winning device. Therefore, the central part in the left-right direction of the gaming area of the gaming machine is extremely limited in terms of space in the vertical direction, and it is almost impossible to newly add a winning opening in the central part. .
Therefore, by increasing the number of winning holes, it is difficult to increase the number of winning balls to the winning holes, which is the original attraction of gaming machines using game balls.
In addition, in gaming machines, a gate through which the inflowing game ball passes as it is may be provided in addition to the prize opening as a device into which the game ball flows in, but the gate also requires substantially the same space as the prize opening. Therefore, it has been difficult to arrange the gates side by side in the left and right direction with respect to the winning opening, and to newly arrange the gates in the center in the left and right direction of the game area.

  An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily arrange and arrange a winning opening, a gate and the like having an inflow port through which a game ball flows in a limited space of the game area, and an inflow of a novel game ball that has never existed before Aspect can be realized.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is a gaming machine comprising a game board having a game area formed therein, wherein a game ball is caused to flow down in the game area to play a game.
A recess is formed in the game board in a state of being recessed backward from the surface of the game board, and a game ball flows into the recess so that the inside of the inner space can flow down,
The concave portion is provided with a winning device that extends from the inner space of the concave portion to the front of the surface of the game board, and a game ball that has flowed down the surface of the game board is placed in the inner space of the concave portion. Provide a game ball introduction device to introduce,
The winning device includes a first inlet and a second inlet that are set to have different values for the inflow of game balls, and the first and second inlets are provided adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction. ,
The game ball introducing device is provided with a lead-out port for allowing the game ball to always flow in, and for leading the flowed game ball into the recess, above a boundary portion between the first inlet and the second inlet , It is characterized in that the game ball is dropped right below so that it can flow into either the first inlet or the second inlet from the outlet.

Here, the gaming machine is a ball game machine such as various pachinko gaming machines, arrange ball gaming machines, sparrow ball gaming machines and the like.
Moreover, the inflow port provided in the winning device is not limited to the winning port, and may include a gate. That is, the portion having the inlet of the winning device may be configured to collect the inflowing game ball from the game area, or may be configured to pass only. The winning device is configured such that at least one of the two inlets generates a prize ball based on the inflow of game balls. Therefore, when a game ball flows into at least one inflow port, it is necessary to detect the inflow of the game ball in the winning device or on the downstream side of the winning device. Moreover, it is preferable that the inflow of the game ball is detected even when one inflow port is configured not to generate a prize ball based on the inflow of game balls. When an inflow of game balls to the inflow port is detected, operations that are advantageous to the player, such as paying out a prize ball, starting a variable winning device, a variable display device, etc., are performed, and the player is valuable. Will be granted.

Therefore, in the first inflow port and the second inflow port set to have different values, the difference in value means that there is a difference in presence or absence of a prize ball when an inflow of game balls is detected (for example, 2 If one of the two inlets is a winning opening and the other is a gate), the difference in the number of prize balls (if both the inlets are winning outlets), the difference in the variable display game of the variable display device to start (both the inlets) The difference is, for example, the starting point of a special variation display game that may be a big hit and the starting point of a normal variation display game that may be a hit.
Note that one inflow port may have almost no value, and the two inflow ports may have different values. In this case, it is not necessary to detect a game ball flowing into the inflow port having no value.
Further, the game board surface is a surface which is a main part of the front surface of the game board and is in the same plane when the front surface of the game board has irregularities. For example, the inner surface facing forward in the recess is not included in the surface of the game board, and is a surface behind the surface of the game board.
In addition, the game ball that has flowed down the game board surface does not have to flow directly into the game ball introduction device, for example, when there is a structure such as a stage formed on the back side of the game board surface on the recess. In addition, after flowing down the surface of the game board, it may flow into the stage or the like and then flow into the game ball introducing device. That is, it is sufficient that the game ball is introduced into the game ball introducing device after flowing down the surface of the game board in the past.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the game board is provided with a concave portion, and a prize-winning device in which the inflow ports are arranged close to each other in the front-rear direction in the concave portion. Can improve interest.
In addition, the game ball that has flowed into the concave chamber can be allowed to flow in at either of the front and rear inlets, and the game ball can be enjoyed to enjoy which inlet the game ball flows into. It can Rukoto that form.

In addition, since a large space in the left-right direction is not required, it is possible to arrange a plurality of inlets side by side without any problem even when a large variable display device or the like is provided.
In particular, in a pachinko gaming machine provided with a large variation display device, two special winning openings or winning openings are easily provided in the central portion in the left-right direction between the (special) variable display device and the (special) variable insertion device. A gate can be arranged. That is, it is possible to easily add a winning opening or gate at the center in the left-right direction of the game area, and realize a new game ball winning mode.
In addition, by providing a game ball introduction device, it is possible to easily introduce a large number of game balls into the interior space of the recess, and it is possible to reliably execute a game related to a highly entertaining (winning). It becomes. That is, the traveling direction of the game ball flowing down the surface of the game board is basically the surface direction along the surface of the game board, so that the probability of entering the recess is not necessarily high. Adjustment is possible to increase the amount of game balls that enter. Thereby, the winning ratio of the front and rear winning ports can be adjusted, and the interest of the player can be enhanced with respect to which of the front and rear inflows.
In the game ball introducing device, since the outlet is formed above the boundary between the first inlet and the second inlet, the player enters the game ball into the inlet of the game ball introducing device. Expects an inflow to the prize-winning device, but does not know whether to win the first inflow or the second inflow. It can enhance interest.

The invention according to claim 2 is the gaming machine according to claim 1,
2. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the first and second inflow ports are first and second winning ports that can be given different values depending on a winning game ball.

  The different value here is that both of the two entrances serve as winning holes, so that both generate a prize ball based on the inflow of game balls and there is no presence or absence of a prize ball. Except for the presence or absence of the above, it is the same as the case where the above-mentioned values are different.

According to the invention described in claim 2, since each of the front and rear inlets is constituted by a winning opening, it is possible to give the player a certain sense of expectation. That is, although it depends on the structure of the inflow opening, the winning openings are arranged side by side, so that even if it becomes impossible to win in one winning opening, it is possible to win in the other winning opening, There is a possibility that a game ball may win in either of the two winning holes in the state where the game ball is in close proximity, or a game ball repelled in one of the winning holes wins the other winning port, so the player expects A feeling can be given.
In addition, since the value obtained by winning a prize is different for each winning opening, it is possible to improve interest. That is, the player watches the inflow mode of the game balls with an interest in which of the two winning holes having different values will be won.

The invention according to claim 3 is the gaming machine according to claim 1 or 2,
An inflow adjustment nail capable of adjusting the inflow rate of the game ball to each of the front and rear inlets of the winning device is provided on the rear wall of the concave portion and on the upper portion of the winning device,
The inflow adjusting nail extends from the inner space of the recess to the front of the game board surface.

Here, the inflow adjustment nail may be provided by implanting a metal inflow adjustment nail directly on the rear wall, or may be provided by attaching a base member provided with the inflow adjustment nail in advance to the rear wall.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the inflow adjusting nail extends from the inner space of the recess to the front of the game board surface, the inflow adjusting nail is moved back and forth between the inner space of the recess and the front of the game board surface. Even in the case where the entrances (winning ports) are provided side by side, the inflow rate (winning rate) of both winning ports can be adjusted. In other words, the inflow adjustment nail can adjust the inflow rate (winning rate) of the game balls to the winning device without any problem, so an inflow port (winning port) that provides the desired inflow rate (winning rate) is arranged. It is possible to set up.
In addition, if a pair of left and right (or multiple pairs) inflow adjustment nails are provided, if the tip of the inflow adjustment nail is adjusted to be widened in the left-right direction, the inflow adjustment nails will flow into the inflow port on the front side rather than the rear inflow port. On the other hand, if the tip is narrowed in the left-right direction, it will be easier to flow into the rear inlet than the front inlet. The inlet flow rate can be adjusted. That is, even if the inflow rate is adjusted using the same inflow adjusting nail at the first and second inflow ports before and after, the inflow rate does not fluctuate in the same way at the front and rear inflow ports. The inlet flow rate can be adjusted.

  In addition, by using a long inflow adjustment nail that is arranged at the top of the winning device and extends forward from the rear wall of the recess to the front of the game board, the winning device should be distinguished from the fact that the inlet is in front and back. And the player's attention is directed to the winning device, and the above-described novel game ball inflow mode can be made more interesting. In addition, when the game ball comes into contact with the inflow adjusting nail, the inflow flows when the game ball can move over a relatively long distance between the inside of the recess and the outside of the recess (the front side from the surface of the game board). The game ball that touches the adjustment nail not only changes the direction of movement two-dimensionally in the front-rear and left-right directions as before, but also allows the direction of movement to change three-dimensionally in the front-rear direction. An inflow mode can be realized.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, a game ball that does not pass through the game ball introducing device also flows into the internal space of the recess from the game area. It is possible that a game ball that does not pass through the game ball introduction device can also flow into either the first inflow port or the second inflow port.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, a game ball that does not pass through the game ball introducing device can also flow into either the first inflow port or the second inflow port.

  According to the present invention, a concave portion is formed in the game board, and a winning device in which the inflow ports are arranged close to each other in the front-back direction is provided in the concave portion. Can improve interest. Moreover, since a space in the left-right direction is not so much required, a plurality of inflow ports can be provided without any problem even when a large-sized variable display device or the like is provided.

Yes. With the inclined bottom wall 45, the game ball B flowing into the first winning path 411 from the first winning opening 41 is led out to the opened rear side of the outer wall portion 43.
In the pachinko gaming machine, the first and second winning ports 41 and 42 function as starting points for the (special figure) variable display game, and when the game ball B wins the first winning port 41, the variable display game. Is controlled to generate four prize balls, and when the game ball B wins the second prize opening 42, the right to start the variable display game is generated and ten prize balls are given. Is controlled to occur.

Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine includes a first special drawing start winning hole sensor 412 (shown in FIG. 5) for detecting the game ball B that has won (inflowed) into the first winning opening 41, and a second winning opening. A second special figure start winning port sensor 422 (shown in FIG. 5) for detecting the game ball B that has won (inflowed) at 42 is provided.
These first and second special figure start winning opening sensors 412 and 422 may be provided on the first winning path 411 and the second winning path 421 of the winning apparatus 4, but outside the winning apparatus 4 (game It may be provided in a discharge flow path for discharging the game ball B led out from the first and second winning paths 411 and 421 to the island facility side. However, the route from the first and second winning openings 41 and 42 to the first and second special figure starting winning opening sensors 412 and 422 is the game ball B that won the first winning opening 41 and It is necessary to divide into two so that the game ball B which won the 2nd winning opening 42 may flow down separately.

In the winning device 4 as described above, the first and second winning ports 41 and 42 can also be referred to as inflow ports into which the game balls B flow, and the winning device 4 is worth the inflow of the game balls B. A first inflow port (first winning port 41) and a second inflow port (second winning port 42) that are set differently are provided, and the first and second inflow ports are arranged in the front-rear direction. It is the structure provided adjacent. Here, the difference in value of the first winning port 41 and the second winning port 42 with respect to the inflow of the game balls B is the difference in the number of winning balls (four and ten).
Accordingly, the first and second inlets are the first and second winning ports 41 and 42 that can be given different values depending on the winning of the game ball B.

  It should be noted that only one of the winning openings 41 and 42 may be used as a start opening for the special figure changing display game, and the other may be used as a general winning opening satisfying conditions for paying out only the winning ball. When performing the above, one may be used as a starting point for the special figure changing display game, and the other may be used as a starting point for the normal figure changing display game. Further, in this case, the prize winning openings 41 and 42 which are the starting openings of the usual figure changing display game may be used as passing gates where no prize balls are paid out.

  The inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 are obstruction nails provided on the first and second winning openings, but the length thereof is long, and the thin plate portion 1b serving as the rear wall of the concave portion 3 is slightly attached to the winning device 4. In the state where the inflow rate of the game ball B to each of the front and rear inlets (winning ports 41, 42) of the winning device 4 is planted so as to be adjustable, the game is passed from the internal space of the recess 3 to the game. It extends to the vicinity of the rear surface of the glass frame over the front of the surface of the board 1.

The inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 are provided as a pair of left and right slightly above the winning device 4. The pair of left and right inflow adjusting nails 6, 6 are provided on the left and right edge portions of the winning device 4, and the distance between the pair of inflow adjusting nails 6, 6 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the game ball B. It is very wide.
The inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 are implanted in the thin plate portion 1 b of the recess 3 of the game board 1.
From the above, the pachinko gaming machine has the rear wall (thin plate portion 1b) of the recess 3 and the upper part of the winning device 4, each of the front and rear inlets (winning ports 41, 42) in the winning device 4. Inflow adjustment nails 6, 6 capable of adjusting the inflow rate of the game ball B into the game board B are provided, and the inflow adjustment nails 6, 6 extend from the inner space of the recess 3 to the front of the surface of the game board 1. It will be.

  When the game board 1 is made of wood, the inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 are driven into the thin plate portion 1b of the game board 1, but the thin plate portion 1b is thinned by forming the recess 3. Therefore, for example, a wooden or synthetic resin auxiliary fixing member 61 is disposed on the back side of the portion where the inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 are driven in the thin plate portion 1b. The thin plate portion 1b has been driven into the auxiliary fixing member 61.

Thereby, in order to adjust the winning rate (inflow rate) of the front and rear winning ports 41, 42, the inflow adjusting nail 6, 6 is changed by tilting the inflow adjusting nail 6, 6. , 6 can be prevented from wobbling.
The inflow adjustment nails 6 and 6 as described above can adjust the winning rates (inflow rates) of the first and second winning ports 41 and 42 adjacent to each other with the same inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6. . Further, since the first first winning opening 41 on the front side is far away from the front surface of the thin plate portion 1b serving as the rear wall provided in the concave portion 3, the winning rate adjustment is possible even if a normal short obstacle nail is provided. However, it is possible to adjust the winning rate of the first winning opening 41 by using the inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 extending from the rear wall to the first winning opening 41 in front of the surface of the game board 1.

As shown in FIG. 5, the pachinko gaming machine controls a game control device 70 (main control device) that controls the progress of the game as its control system, and controls various effects under the control of the game control device 70. An effect control device 80 (sub-control device), a discharge control device 90 that performs a discharge control of prize balls under the control of the game control device 70, and the like are provided. In the block diagram of FIG. 5, the above-mentioned ordinary electric accessory that opens and closes to the left and right is provided at either of the first and second winning ports 41 and 42 of the winning device 4, and when the winning is made. The control system is described as including a normal symbol display 8 for performing a general-purpose variable display game for releasing a normal electric accessory.
In this way, as in the prior art, the normal drawing time-short state in which the fluctuation display time on the normal symbol display 8 is shortened, or the opening time in which the opening time of the opening / closing member of the normal electric accessory is changed to a longer time than usual. It is possible to deal with a gaming machine that generates a time change state and the like, and the player's expectation and interest can be improved.
Further, when the game ball introducing device 28 and the inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 are adjusted so that the winning rate to the first winning port 41 is lower than the winning rate to the second winning port 42, If the configuration is such that an ordinary electric accessory is installed only in the first winning opening 41, the winning can be guided by the game ball introducing device 28 in a state where the winning ratio to the second winning opening 42 is fixed. In addition, since the winning rate to the first winning opening 41 with a relatively small number of winning balls can be changed, a large amount of winning balls are not given to the player, and the opening time and the number of opening times of the ordinary electric accessory It becomes possible to give a large number of starting conditions for a variable display game or the like, and to balance the profits of the game store and the player. Note that in the gaming machine of the present invention, the ordinary electric accessory and the related device may not be provided.

Of these, the game control device 70 includes a game microcomputer 71 having a CPU 71a, a RAM 71b, a ROM 71c, etc., an input / output I / F 73, a clock (oscillator) 72, and the like.
Among these, the CPU 71a includes a control unit and a calculation unit, and performs calculation control, and also generates various random numbers related to a special figure or a usual variable display game. The various random values include the jackpot determination random number value for the special figure variation display game, the random number value for the hit determination of the normal figure variation display game, the symbol determination random number value used for determining the stop symbol of the special figure variation display game, This includes a random number value for determining a basic variation pattern used for determining the type of basic variation pattern in the diagram variation display game (including the execution time of the variation display game in the variation display with various reach and no reach).
The RAM 71b stores ON signals of the first and second special figure start winning port sensors 412 and 422 provided corresponding to the first and second winning ports 41 and 42, that is, special figure start storage (start storage, A storage area for the variable display game (execution right), a storage area for the ON signal of the general chart start gate sensor 13 provided in the general map start gate (general map start memory), a work area for the CPU 71a, and the like. Yes.
In addition to the game control program and control data being written in the ROM 71c, a random number determination table having jackpot determination values for a special figure variation display game for determining the occurrence of a big hit in a special figure variation display game, A common figure determination table having a normal figure hit determination value for determining occurrence of a hit in the display game is written.

  In addition, the input / output I / F 73 is connected to first and second special figure starting winning hole sensors 412 and 422, a normal drawing starting gate sensor 13, a big winning opening sensor 14, via a low-pass filter and a buffer gate (not shown). The winning prize sensor 15,..., The discharge control device 90, and the like are connected, and various signals from these are input. These various signals are relayed by the input / output I / F 73 and output to the CPU 71a.

  Note that the general figure start gate sensor 13 detects the game ball B passing through a passing gate which is a start point of the normal figure change display game. The special winning opening sensor 14 detects the game ball B that has won the (special) variable winning device 19 that is released when the special figure variable display game is a big hit and enters a special game state. The winning opening sensor 15,... Detects the game ball B that has won a general winning opening.

  Further, various control signals output from the CPU 71a are input to the input / output I / F 73, and these control signals are relayed by the input / output I / F 73 and are normally output via an output port and a driver (not shown). Output from the ordinary solenoid 16 as a driving means for the opening / closing member of the electric accessory, the normal symbol display 8, the universal diagram storage display 9, the special figure storage display 7, and the game control device 70 to the outside of the pachinko machine. Are output to an external output terminal 17 for relaying external information, a production control device 80, a movable member solenoid 18 as a driving member for the movable member of the (special) variable prize winning device 19, and the like.

The CPU 71a of the game control device 70 extracts various random values stored in the RAM 71b based on, for example, input of detection signals (starting signals) from the first and second special figure starting winning port sensors 412 and 422, and the like. A random number value extracted by the extraction process is compared with a determination value (determination table) stored in advance in the ROM 71c.
Based on this comparison, the CPU 71a of the game control device 70 determines whether or not a special game state is generated with the special figure variation display game as a big win (whether or not a big win is won). When the random number value extracted for determining the jackpot of the special figure variation display game matches the jackpot determination value stored for the special figure variation display game, the special figure variation display game is a big hit. Then, when the special figure fluctuation display game is a big hit, after the special figure fluctuation display game is ended, the movable member solenoid 18 is operated to open the variable prize device 19 as a cycle game to be described later.

In addition, the CPU 71a of the game control device 70 receives counter signals stored in the RAM 71b when starting signals are input from the first and second special figure starting winning port sensors 412 and 422 and various random numbers are extracted. The special figure starting memory number as a value is incremented by one, and the extracted random number value for the special figure variation display game is stored in association with the special figure starting memory. If the next special figure variation display game cannot be started immediately (for example, during the execution of the special figure variation display game or during the special game state), the special figure start memory number is retained. When the figure variation display game is started, the special figure starting memory number is subtracted by one.
For example, when there is no free space in the special figure start memory, that is, when the number of special figure start memories is a preset upper limit, various random number values are not extracted.

  Further, the CPU 71a of the game control device 70 sends the effect data (control) to the effect control device 80 based on various decisions made by comparing the random value extracted by the extraction process with the determination value stored in advance in the ROM 71c. Send a production command including information). The effect control device 80 controls the display of the variable display game in the variable display device 2 and controls the sound effect output from the speaker 12 based on the received effect data (under the control of the game control device 70). Or, it controls lighting and extinguishing of LED lamps such as a decoration lamp (LED) 11 such as a side lamp, and the special figure memory display 7 and the common figure memory display 9.

The CPU 71a of the game control device 70 performs, for example, a process of extracting the random number value of the general-purpose variable display game stored in the RAM 71b based on the input of the detection signal (start signal) from the general-purpose start gate sensor 13, and the like. The random number value extracted by the extraction process is compared with the determination value (determination table) of the normal fluctuation display game stored in advance in the ROM 71c.
Based on this comparison, the CPU 71a of the game control device 70 determines whether or not to operate the ordinary electric accessory based on the normal fluctuation display game. In addition, when the random number value extracted for determining the hit of the general-purpose variable display game matches the hit determination value stored for the general-purpose variable-display game, the general-purpose variable display game is won.

Then, in response to the above-described lottery result of the normal figure change display game, the normal figure change display game is played on the normal symbol display 8.
When the normal variation display game is won, after the universal variation display game is finished, the ordinary electric combination is opened by operating the solenoid 16 for normal electricity to release the normal variation combination for a predetermined time. The game ball B wins at least one of the first winning opening 41 and the second winning opening (for example, the first winning opening 41 is assumed to be provided with an ordinary electric accessory in the first winning opening 41). Make it easy.

Further, when the CPU 71a of the game control device 70 receives a start signal from the general-purpose start gate sensor 13 and extracts a random number value, the CPU 71a sets the normal-number start stored number as a counter value stored in the RAM 71b to 1. In addition, the extracted random number value for the usual figure variation display game is stored in association with the usual figure start memory. If the next map change display game cannot be started immediately (for example, the map change display game is running), the map start memory number is retained and the map change display game is started. When subscribing, the usual starting memory number is subtracted by one.
Note that, for example, when there is no free space in the normal chart start memory, that is, when the normal chart start memory number is a preset upper limit, the random number value of the normal chart variable display game is not extracted.

  Further, the CPU 71a of the game control device 70 receives a winning ball detection signal from the winning hole sensor 15,..., The first and second special figure starting winning hole sensors 412, 422, and the big winning hole sensor 14. Based on these detection signals, control is also performed to send prize ball data to the ejection control device 90 to eject the required number of prize balls. Further, in this example, four prize balls are discharged with respect to the detection signal from the first special figure start winning opening sensor 412, and 10 with respect to the detection signal from the second special figure start winning opening sensor 422. Each prize ball is discharged. The game control device 70 is connected to a launch control device (not shown) for controlling the launch device for the game ball B (not shown). The game control device 70 is connected via the launch control device based on the operation of the launch handle of the player. To control the launch of the game ball B.

The effect control device (sub-control means) 80 is based on the effect command from the game control device (main control means) 70 and includes various types of special display variable display games based on the identification information in the variable display device 2 (liquid crystal display device 22). The display control is performed to perform the effect display and other various information displays.
More specifically, the effect control device 80 is a CPU, ROM, RAM, an image memory such as a VRAM (not shown) for controlling display on a liquid crystal display device serving as a display device body of the variable display device 2, VDP, A video circuit including a graphic processor such as (video display processor) and an interface are provided.

Then, the effect control device 80 displays a variation display game on the variation display device 2 based on the jackpot, lose, basic variation pattern, etc. determined by the game control device 70 by a control command input from the game control device 70. To control.
In addition, the effect control device 80 controls the sound generation operation by the speaker 12 based on the command from the game control device 70 as described above, the decorative lamp 11 such as the side lamp, and the special figure memory. The lighting state of the LEDs such as the display 7 and the general memory display 9 is controlled.

  Based on a prize ball control command output from the CPU 71a of the game control device 70 or a ball rental control command output from a card unit (not shown) or the like, the discharge control device 90 receives a required number of game balls from a discharge device (not shown). Control for discharging B (principal balls, rental balls) is performed. In addition, the discharge control device 90 performs control to count the number of discharged game balls B with a predetermined sensor unit and to output it to the game control device 70 side.

In the pachinko gaming machine as described above, the game ball B driven into the game area by starting the game under the control of the game control device 70 and the discharge control device 90 is the special winning opening, the special feature of the winning device 4. When winning a prize in any of the first and second winning openings 41 and 42 and the grand prize opening serving as the start opening, the winning opening sensor 15, the first and second special drawing starting winning opening sensors 412 and 422, and the big winning prize are shown. Based on the detection of the game ball B that has won a prize in the mouth sensor 14, a predetermined number of award balls corresponding to the respective winning mouths are discharged (paid out) from the discharging device.
Further, when the game ball B driven into the game area passes through the normal start gate under the control of the game control device 70, the normal start ball sensor 13 detects that the game ball B is detected. The symbol variation display game is played on the symbol display 8.

This normal-variation display game is performed by causing the normal symbol display 8 to display the display state (lighting state) in a variable manner for a predetermined period of time and then to stop the display.
If the stop display on the normal symbol display 8 becomes a special (winning) result mode as a result of the normal fluctuation display game, the normal fluctuation display game is a win and the normal electric accessory provided in the winning device 4 Is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds). Thereby, for example, it becomes easy for the game ball B to win the first winning opening 41, and the start of the special display variable display game becomes easy.

In addition, when the game ball B driven into the game area wins one of the first and second winning ports 41 and 42, it is applied to any of the first and second special figure start winning port sensors 412 and 422. Based on the detection of the game ball B, the display unit 21 of the special figure variable display device 2 starts a special figure variable display game in which a plurality of types of identification information are displayed in a variable manner.
As a result of this variable display game, the display mode of the display unit 21 becomes a special display mode (for example, any combination of the same symbols such as “1, 1, 1”, etc.), and the special display variable display game has a special result. When it becomes, it becomes a big hit and it becomes a special game state (so-called big hit).
During this big hit, a cycle game in which the movable member that opens and closes the winning area of the variable winning device 19 is closed to the open state in which the game ball B can be won in the big winning opening is performed a predetermined number of times. Thus, the player has an opportunity to acquire a large amount of the game balls B.

  Note that the variable winning device 19 is provided with only the big winning port sensor 14 at the large winning port, and there is no continuation area (V winning area) for allowing the variable winning device to continue the cycle game as in the past, and the continuation area. There is no continuation sensor (V winning sensor) for detecting the winning of the game ball B. This is because, in the pachinko gaming machine of this example, when a specific gaming state is reached, the winning mode (the presence / absence of a winning, the winning area) of the gaming ball B up to a predetermined number of times (the number of rounds) of the cycle game is set in advance. This is because the program is executed regardless of the).

Next, the flow-down mode of the game ball B around the winning device 4 in the game area will be described.
The game ball B launched into the game area mainly flows down from above the game area variation display device 2. For example, the game ball B that has contacted the upper surface of the armor member 27 of the variable display device 2 or the obstacle nail above the armor member 27 is guided to the left and right of the variable display device 2 and flows down the left and right of the variable display device 2. A part of these game balls B flows into the warp inlet 261 of the warp device 26, passes through the warp passage 262, and is led out from the warp outlet 263 onto the stage unit 25. The game ball B led out on the stage unit 25 has a downward flow from one of the left and right ends of the stage unit 25 toward the other, and basically reciprocates on the stage unit 25 in the left-right direction. . Moreover, since the center part on the stage part 25 is higher than the left and right end parts, when the game ball B is directed from the end part on the stage part 25 to the center part, the downward force of the game ball B is weakened. At this time, when the speed of the game ball B becomes sufficiently low, the game ball B flows down to the flow down port 251 on the stage unit 25.

In addition, when the speed of the game ball B is high, the game ball B passes over the flow outlet 251. Further, if the speed of the game ball B becomes too slow, the game ball B cannot climb to the center portion on the stage portion 25 and flows down from the left and right end portions of the stage portion 25.
Then, the game ball B that has flowed into the flow-down port 251 flows down from the flow-down port 251 into the recess 3. At this time, the second winning opening 42 is arranged directly below the downflow opening 251, and the second winning opening 42 is won with a high probability. Further, since the front side of the recess 3 is blocked by the lid member 5, the game ball B that has flowed into the recess 3 from the flow-down port 251 does not go to the first winning port 41 on the front side of the lid member 5. Since the game ball B flowing down from the front side of the lid member 5 does not enter the inner space of the recess 3, the second prize opening is provided unless the game ball B flowing down from the front side of the lid member 5 jumps up to the stage portion 25. No win 42.

Also, the game ball B flowing down from the front side of the lid member 5 enters the recess 3 and comes into contact with the game ball B about to win the second winning port 42 from the flow-down port 251 to win the game ball B. There is no such thing as inhibition.
Further, in addition to the game ball B that has passed through the warp device 26, the stage unit 25 is provided with a game ball B that flows down from the left and right below the armor member 27 of the variation display device 2 and obstacle nails from below the variation display device 2. There is a possibility that the repelled game ball B or the like enters, and part of the game ball B also flows down to the flow-down port 251 and enters the recess 3 as described above.

  Then, the game ball B that has entered the recess 3 from the flow-down opening 251 but does not win the second winning opening 42 by, for example, coming into contact with the inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 and repelling, It flows down to the lower end of the game board and is led out from the lead-out holes 34, 34 to the game area on the lower side of the recess 3 and in front of the game board 1 surface. In addition, the variable winning device 19 is disposed below the concave portion 3, and when the variable winning device 19 is in an open state, a part of the game ball B led out from the lead-out holes 34 and 34 fluctuates. The winning device 19 is guided to win. The winning rate of the second winning opening 42 can be adjusted by adjusting the direction of the inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6.

  On the other hand, the game balls B that have been placed on the stage portion 25 but have not flowed down to the flow outlet 251 mainly flow down from the left and right end portions of the stage portion 25 to the front side of the lid member 5 of the recessed portion 3. In some cases, it flows down to the front side of the lid member 5 of the concave portion 3 from other than the above. In addition, the game ball B that has not been placed on the stage portion 25 is also guided by the obstacle nail or the like, and a part thereof flows down the front side of the lid member 5 of the recess 3. Then, a part of the game ball B flowing down the front side of the lid member 5 of the recess 3 wins the first winning opening 41. At this time, the winning rate of the first winning opening 41 is adjusted by the direction of the inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 slightly above the first winning opening 41.

  The pachinko gaming machine as described above is a gaming machine that includes a gaming board 1 in which a gaming area is formed, and that allows a gaming ball B to flow down in the gaming area to play a game. The recess 3 is formed in a state of being recessed rearward from the surface, and the game ball B flows into the recess 3 so that it can flow down in the inner space. A winning device 4 that extends over the front of the surface of the board 1 is provided, and the winning device 4 has a first inlet (winning port 41) and a second that are set to have different values for the inflow of the game ball B. An inflow port (winning port 42) is provided, and the first and second inflow ports (winning ports 41, 42) are provided adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction.

Accordingly, the game board 1 is provided with the concave portion 3 and the prize winning device 4 in which the prize winning openings 41 and 42 are arranged close to each other in the longitudinal direction in the concave portion 3. It can be formed and the interest can be improved.
In addition, the game ball B that has flowed into the recess 3 can flow into the winning ports 41, 42 at the front and rear winning ports 41, 42, and to which winning port 41, 42 the gaming ball B flows. The game ball B that has flowed down through the concave portion 3 flows into the rear winning port 42 of the front and rear winning ports 41, 42, or the like. Various game modes can be formed, such as a configuration in which the game ball B flowing down from the front surface of the game board 1 flows into the winning prize port 41 at the front.

In addition, since it does not require much space in the left-right direction, a plurality of inflow ports (winning ports 41, 42) can be disposed without any problem even when the large-sized variable display device 2 or the like is disposed. .
In particular, in a pachinko gaming machine provided with a large variation display device 2, two winning openings 41, 42 or a winning opening are easily provided in the center in the left-right direction between the variation display device 2 and the special variation entry device 19. A gate can be arranged. That is, it is possible to easily add a winning opening or a gate at the center in the left-right direction of the game area and realize a new game ball B winning mode.

The first and second inlets are first and second winning ports 41 and 42 that can be given different values depending on the winning of the game ball B. Therefore, since each of the front and rear inlets is constituted by the winning ports 41 and 42, it is possible to give the player a certain sense of expectation. That is, although depending on the configuration of the inflow port, the winning ports 41 and 42 are arranged side by side, so that even if one winning port 41 and 42 cannot be won, the other winning ports 41 and 42 are arranged. Or a game ball B close to the winning device 4 as in the gaming machine or the like of the second embodiment to be described later, there is a possibility that both of the winning ports 41 and 42 may win. When the game ball B repelled at one of the winning ports 41 and 42 wins the other winning ports 41 and 42, the player can have a sense of expectation.
Moreover, since the value obtained by winning is different for each of the winning openings 41 and 42, the interest can be improved. In other words, the player watches the inflow mode of the game ball B with an interest in which of the two winning openings 41 and 42 having different values will be won.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine, the inflow of the game ball B to each of the front and rear winning ports 41 and 42 in the winning device 4 on the rear wall (thin plate portion 1 b) of the recess 3 and above the winning device 4. Inflow adjusting nails 6, 6 capable of adjusting the rate are provided, and the inflow adjusting nails 6, 6 extend from the inner space of the recess 3 to the front of the surface of the game board 1.

  Accordingly, since the inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 extend from the inner space of the recess 3 to the front of the surface of the game board 1, the prizes are arranged side by side in the front and back of the inner space of the recess 3 and the front of the surface of the game board 1. Even in the case where the openings 41 and 42 are provided, the inflow rate (winning rate) of both the winning ports 41 and 42 can be adjusted. That is, the inflow rate (winning rate) of the game ball B to the winning device 4 can be adjusted without any problems by the inflow adjusting nail, so that the inflow port (winning port 41) having a desired inflow rate (winning rate). 42) can be provided.

  Further, if a pair of left and right inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 is provided (if there is no cover member 5), the tip of the inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 is adjusted to be widened in the left and right direction. Case) It is easier to flow into the winning port 41 on the front side than the rear winning port 42, and conversely, if the adjustment is made such that the tip is narrowed in the left-right direction, it flows into the winning port 42 on the rear side with respect to the front winning port 41. It is possible to adjust the winning ratios of the front and rear winning openings 41 and 42 only by adjusting the pair of inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 so that it becomes easy to do. That is, even if the inflow rate is adjusted using the same inflow adjusting nail at the first and second winning ports 41 and 42 before and after, the winning rate does not fluctuate in the same manner at the preceding and following winning ports 41 and 42. Therefore, the winning ratios of the front and rear winning openings 41 and 42 can be adjusted.

  Further, by using the long inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 extending forward from the rear wall (thin plate portion 1b) of the recess 3 to the front of the game board 1 at the top of the winning device 4, the winning device 4 is connected to the winning port 41. , 42 can be emphasized in combination with the front and rear, and the player's attention is directed to the winning device 4 so that the inflow mode of the above-described novel game ball B can be more interesting. Further, as in the case of the second embodiment to be described later, the game ball B is in the recess 3 and outside the recess 3 (in front of the front surface of the game board 1) with the game ball B in contact with the inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6. The game ball B that has contacted the inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 not only changes the moving direction two-dimensionally in the front-rear and left-right directions as in the prior art, but also three-dimensionally. The moving direction can also be changed in the front-rear direction, and a more innovative game ball B inflow mode can be realized.

In the pachinko gaming machine, a game ball introduction device 28 for introducing the game ball B flowing down the surface of the game board 1 into the internal space of the recess 3 is provided above the recess 3.
Therefore, by providing the game ball introduction device 28, it becomes possible to easily introduce a large number of game balls B into the internal space of the recess 3, and reliably execute a game related to a highly entertaining (winning). It becomes possible. That is, the traveling direction of the game ball B flowing down the surface of the game board 1 is basically the surface direction along the surface of the game board 1, so the probability of entering the recess 3 is not necessarily high, but the game ball introduction device 28 is By providing, it can adjust so that the quantity of the game ball | bowl B which enters into the recessed part 3 may be increased. Thereby, the winning ratios of the front and rear winning ports 41 and 42 can be adjusted, and the player's interest can be enhanced as to which of the front and rear winning ports 41 and 42 flows.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine, a variable display device 2 having a display unit 21 capable of displaying a variable display game based on a plurality of identification information is disposed above the recess 3, and the variable display device 2 is arranged from the surface of the game board 1. Including a display recessed portion forming frame 24 that is recessed backward and forms a display recessed portion 23 with the display portion 21 as a rear inner surface, and at a position that is the lower inner surface of the display recessed portion 23 in the display recessed portion forming frame 24. The game ball B forms a rollable stage portion 25, and the lower side portion 243 of the display recess forming frame 24 is configured to be the upper surface of the recess 3, and the game ball B that rolls on the stage portion 25. The game ball introducing device 28 is configured so as to form a flow-down port 251 that can flow down and to introduce the game ball B that has flowed down the flow-down port 251 into the recess 3 below.

  Accordingly, since the game ball B rolling on the stage portion 25 is introduced into the lower concave portion 3, a novel downflow mode that is not possible in the past can be formed and the interest can be improved. Further, if the introduced game ball B is made to flow down toward the winning openings 41 and 42 arranged in the recess 3, the game ball B can be won with a high probability, and the player's expectation Can be increased.

  The pachinko gaming machine closes the front opening of the recess 3 and partitions the first and second winning ports 41 and 42 into the inner space side of the recess 3 and the front side of the surface of the game board 1, respectively. A clear member (lid member 5) is provided, and a game ball B flowing down the front side of the lid member 5 is configured to be able to win a prize opening 41 located on the front side of the surface of the game board 1.

  Therefore, by closing the front opening of the recess 3 with the lid member 5, the game ball B introduced from the stage portion 25 is awarded to the winning port 42 on the rear side, and the game ball B flowing down the surface of the game board 1 is moved forward. Since the winning opening 41 can be awarded, it is possible to form an inflowing aspect that is unprecedented and highly interesting. Moreover, even if the game balls B flow down at the same time in the front-rear position with respect to the winning device 4, it is possible to perform the inflow processing without any problem.

A pachinko gaming machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
In the second embodiment, the variable display device 2 is not provided, or the variable display device 2 is provided so as to be spaced upward from the concave portion 3, as in the first embodiment. The stage portion 25 having the flow-down port 251 is not configured to function as the game ball introduction device 28 for introducing the game ball B into the recess 3.
And in 2nd Embodiment, unlike 1st Embodiment, while providing the game ball introducing | transducing apparatus 29 separate from the fluctuation | variation display apparatus 2 on the recessed part 3, without providing the cover member 5 in the front surface of the recessed part 3, a game The game ball B flowing down the surface of the board 1 is configured to be able to enter the recess 3 from the front opening of the recess 3.

The pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment is the first except that the game ball introducing device 29 is provided regardless of the variation display device 2 and that the recess 3 is opened without providing the lid member 5. The configuration having the same configuration as that of the pachinko gaming machine according to the embodiment will be omitted, and the description of the same configuration will be omitted, and the gaming ball introduction device 29 will be mainly described.
The game board 1 of the second embodiment is provided with a recess 3 as in the first embodiment. And in 2nd Embodiment, the mounting recessed part 1d for attaching the game ball introduction apparatus 29 is formed above the part used as the center part of the left and right of the recessed part 3. As shown in FIG. The mounting recess 1d has a wider vertical width and lateral width than the diameter of the game ball B, and the lateral width is slightly wider.
The mounting recess 1 d has a lower side communicating with the recess 3, and the depth thereof is substantially the same as that of the recess 3.

Then, the game ball introducing device 29 is attached in a state where the rear portion is inserted into the attaching recess 1d.
The game ball introducing device 29 has a substantially square box-shaped introduction main body 292 and an attachment base 291 for attaching the introduction main body 292 to the front side of the game board 1. The introduction main body 292 is arranged to extend forward from the front surface of the game board 1 from the front surface of the thinned portion of the game board 1 which becomes the rear wall inside the mounting recess 1d having the same depth as the recess 3. The front end of the main body 292 is close to the rear surface of the glass frame.

  The introduction main body 292 is surrounded by six front, rear, upper, lower, left, and right surfaces, but the game ball B is introduced to the front side of the upper surface of the game board 1 surface. An outlet 294 for the game ball B is formed at a portion facing the inner space of the lower recess 3 communicating with the mounting recess 1d. The inside of the rectangular box-shaped introduction main body 292 is a guide path 295 that allows the game ball B to flow down from the front front introduction port 293 to the lower rear discharge port 294. Note that the lower inner surface of the introduction main body 292 that is the bottom of the guide path 295 is inclined downward from the front to the rear so that the game ball B flows downward.

  In addition, the introduction main body 292 of the game ball introduction device 29 is disposed immediately above the winning device 4, and the second winning prize is provided in the recess 3 on the rear side of the winning device 4. Arranged just above the mouth 42.

With this configuration, in the second embodiment, a part of the game ball B flowing down the surface of the game board 1 above the recess 3 flows into the introduction port 293 of the game ball introduction device 29 and flows into the introduction port 293. The played game ball B is led out from the lead-out port 294 to the upper part inside the recess 3 through the guide path 295 in the game ball introduction device 29.
Then, the second prize opening 42 of the prize winning device 4 arranged immediately below the outlet 294 is won with a high probability. However, in the second embodiment, since there is no lid member 5 that closes the front opening of the recess 3, the game ball B led out from the lead-out port 294 can move back and forth and right and left, and the second ball in the recess 3 There is also a possibility of winning a prize in the first winning opening 41 formed in front of the winning opening 42. For example, there is a possibility that the game ball B comes into contact with the inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 provided on the winning device 4 as a pair on the left and right sides and repels to the front side to win the first winning opening 42.

  When the pair of inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 are slanted so that they are directed downward, or when they are slanted so as to open to the left and right, the game ball B is moved to the front side. In the case where the game ball B is inclined so as to be lifted forward, or is inclined so as to be closed forward, the game ball B is guided to the rear side. Therefore, by adjusting the same inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6, it is possible to reversely adjust the winning rate at the front and rear winning ports 41 and 42 in the direction of increasing and decreasing the winning rate.

  The game ball B that has not been introduced into the recess 3 by the game ball introduction device 29 flows down the surface of the game board 1, that is, the inner space of the recess 3, and the first prize opening on the front side of the winning device 4. The opportunity to win 41 is obtained, but there is a possibility of entering into the recess 3 by repelling when it comes into contact with the obstacle nail or the inflow adjusting nails 6, 6. There will also be an opportunity to win in the mouth 42. For example, when the game ball B flowing down the front side of the inner space of the recess 3 (the front side of the surface of the game board 1) flows down between the pair of left and right inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6, the first winning opening on the front side as it is There are a case where the player wins 41 and a case where the player moves to the rear side in contact with the inflow adjusting nails 6, 6, etc. to win the second winning port 42 in the recess 3 and a case where the player wins.

  According to the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment as described above, unlike the first embodiment, the game ball introducing device 29 is provided separately from the variable display device 2, so that the pachinko without the variable display device 2 is provided. Even if the variable display device 2 is provided, the variable display device 2 can be designed separately from the winning device 4, and the design flexibility of the variable display device is widened. In the second embodiment, the variable display device 2 is provided, the variable display device 2 is provided above the game ball introducing device 29, the warp device and the stage unit are further provided in the variable display device 2, and the stage The game ball B may be guided to the game ball introduction device 29 by the unit.

Further, by adopting a configuration in which the lid member 5 is not provided in the recess 3, when the game ball B introduced into the recess 3 by the game ball introduction device 29 is guided to the second winning opening 42, The game ball B enters the recess 3 from the front opening of the recess 3, contacts the game ball B guided as described above, and enters the second winning opening 42 of the guided game ball B. Although there is a possibility of interfering with the winning, the game ball B can go back and forth between the inner space of the recess 3 at the front opening of the recess 3 and the space in front of the surface of the game board 1 before that. Further, it is possible to adopt various flow-down modes as compared with the case where the lid member 5 is provided.
In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment, if the fluctuation display device 2 is provided to perform a fluctuation display game, the game content is the same as that of the pachinko gaming machine of the first embodiment.

FIG. 8 shows a modification of the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment. In this modification, the position of the outlet 296 of the game ball introducing device 29 is different from that of the outlet 294 of the second embodiment. The configuration other than the outlet 296 is the same as that of the second embodiment.
In the game ball introducing device 29 of the modified example of the second embodiment, the position of the outlet 296 is not directly above the second winning port 42 in the recess 3 of the winning device 4, but the first winning port 41 and the first It is directly above the boundary with the second prize opening 42.

Accordingly, when the game ball B derived from the outlet 296 of the game ball introduction device 29 flows down directly, the first winning port is not configured to win only at the second winning port 42. It becomes the structure which wins with a high probability in either 41 and the 2nd winning opening 42. That is, in the second embodiment, when the game ball B flows into the introduction port 293 of the game ball introduction device 29, the player expects the game ball B to win the second winning port 42. However, in the modified example of the second embodiment, when the game ball B flows into the introduction port 293 of the game ball introduction device 29, the player expects to win the winning device 4. It is not known whether to win the opening 41 or the second winning opening 42, and it is possible to increase interest by observing with a sense of expectation which one will be won. In the second embodiment, the lid member 5 may be provided.
In addition, since the outlet 296 is provided at the front and rear central portions of the game ball introduction device 29, when the game ball B exits from the outlet 296, the flow direction may be inclined forward or backward due to the difference in the momentum of the game ball B. It is possible to realize a variety of game balls flowing down.

A pachinko gaming machine according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.
In the third embodiment, instead of the game ball introducing device 29 of the second embodiment, the flow-down port 28b for introducing the received game ball B into the internal space of the concave portion 3 and the internal space of the concave portion 3 are provided. Formed in the front-rear direction are flow-down ports 28c that flow down (before the surface of the game board 1), and distribute the received game balls B to any of the flow-down ports 28b, 28c provided in the front-rear direction. A game ball introducing device 28a provided with a sorting member 28d (Kroon) to flow down is provided.
The winning device 4 according to the first embodiment has both of the two inlets being the winning ports 41 and 42, whereas the winning device 4a according to the second embodiment uses the front inlet as the front winning port. Instead of 41, a passing gate 41a is used.
The pachinko gaming machine of the third embodiment has the same configuration as the pachinko gaming machine of the second embodiment, except that it includes a game ball introducing device 28a having a sorting member 28d and a winning device 4a includes a passing gate 41a. Therefore, the description of the same configuration as that of the second embodiment is omitted.

  The winning device 4a according to the third embodiment is formed in a substantially square box shape, and has an outer wall portion 43a in which the upper surface side, the rear surface side, and the lower surface side of the front end portion are opened, and the upper surface side where the outer wall portion 43a is opened. The vertical partition wall 44a that divides the front passage gate 41a and the rear second winning opening 42, the normal start gate sensor 13 provided in the lower end of the passing gate 41a, and the second winning opening 42 A second winning path 421 that leads the game ball B that has been communicated and won from the second winning opening 42 to the rear side of the outer wall portion 43a, and the bottom of the outer wall portion 43a on the rear side of the passage gate 41a of the outer wall portion 43a. A game that forms a space for the wiring 13a of the normal start gate sensor 13 and a bottom plate 49 serving as a bottom of the second winning path 421, and a game that has won the second winning path 421 from the second winning opening 42. Roll sphere B backward An inclined plate 49a inclined from the front to the rear, a front mounting plate 46 for attaching the bottom side of the outer wall portion 43 to the front surface of the game board 1, and a periphery excluding the bottom portion of the outer wall portion 43 on the front surface of the thin plate portion 1b of the game board 1 And a rear mounting plate 47 for mounting.

In the winning device 4a of the third embodiment, as described above, the front inflow port becomes the passage gate 41a, and the game ball B flowing into the passage gate 41a is on the front side of the surface of the game board 1 that is below the passage gate 41a. The basic configuration is the same as in the first and second embodiments except that the configuration is made to flow down.
In the third embodiment, the passage gate 41a serves as a starting point for a general-purpose variable display game, and the above-described general-purpose starting gate sensor 13 is disposed therein. Therefore, in the third embodiment, conventionally, there is no gate that is arranged on the left or right side or the left side of the game area and serves as a starting point for the usual variable display game. Further, the first inflow port on the front side may be used as a general winning opening instead of the passing gate 41a, or may be used as a starting port for a special figure display game as in the first and second embodiments. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which does not provide the usual start gate sensor 13 in the passage gate 41a as a structure which the game ball B passes only through the passage gate 41a. In addition, the passing gate 41a is partitioned by the vertical partition wall 44a at the front and rear positions on the surface of the game board 1 and with the second winning port 42 in the rear recess 3 over the top and bottom of the outer wall portion 43a. . Accordingly, the passage gate 41a is formed from the upper end to the lower end of the front end portion of the outer wall portion 43a, and the upper and lower sides are open so that the game ball B can pass therethrough.

The game ball introduction device 28 a having the distribution member 28 d is attached to an attachment hole 1 e provided on the left and right central portions of the recess 3 of the game board 1. The game ball introducing device 28a has a rear end that is substantially the same as the front and rear positions on the back of the game board 1, and a front end that is in front of the front of the game board 1 and slightly behind the back of the glass frame.
The game ball introduction device 28a includes a substantially square and box-like introduction main body portion 28f in plan view. The insertion main body portion 28f has a wider width than the introduction main body portion 292 of the second embodiment, and a distribution member 28d that is three times or more the diameter of the game ball B is provided on the inner bottom portion. The distribution member 28d is a circular dish-shaped croon.

  The game ball introduction device 28a has an introduction port 28e formed at a position above the mounting hole 1e on the surface of the game board 1, and the game ball B flowing down the surface of the game board 1 flows into the game ball introduction device 28a. It is possible.

  If the introduction port 28e has a front-rear width and a left-right width larger than the diameter of the game ball B, the introduction port 28e may be wider than the introduction port 293 of the game ball introduction device 29 of the second embodiment. The left and right widths may be the same. Further, the left and right positions of the introduction port 28e may be directly above the winning device 4 as in the case of the introduction port 293 of the second embodiment, or may be shifted to the left and right. The game ball B that has flowed in from the introduction port 28e does not flow down to the distribution member 28d of the introduction main body 28f as it is, and flows down a guide path (not shown) to the left of the distribution member 28d. After being guided to the outside of the provided vertical partition wall 28g, the distribution is performed along the circumferential direction of the cruise from the outer peripheral portion of the circular dish-shaped croon that becomes the distribution member 28d from the outlet 28h provided in the partition wall 28g. It flows out on the member 28d.

The distribution member 28d is a dish-like member arranged substantially horizontally, and is curved and inclined so that the outer peripheral portion becomes higher as it goes outward. Downstream ports 28b and 28c are provided side by side. When the game ball B flows out from the outlet 28h to the outer peripheral portion of the dish-shaped distribution member 28d along the circumferential direction, the outer peripheral portion is moved in the circumferential direction while the game ball B has some momentum at the time of outflow. As the game ball B loses momentum and slows down, it moves closer to the center side according to the inclination of the outer periphery. That is, when the orbiting speed of the game ball B on the sorting member 28d decreases, the diameter of the game ball B orbiting decreases, and the orbiting course of the game ball B and the two downflow ports 28b and 28c overlap. The game ball B falls from one of the two flow-down ports 28b and 28c toward the winning device 4 below. Therefore, the distribution member 28d requires a relatively long time for distribution of the game balls B, and can show the game balls B distributed to the player for a long time.
The bottom surface inside the outer peripheral portion of the dish-shaped distribution member 28d is configured to slightly incline downward toward the flow-down ports 28b and 28c, so that the game ball B remains on the distribution member 28d. However, it always flows down from one of the downflow ports 28b, 28c. Further, the distribution ratios of the two flow-down ports 28b and 28c are adjusted by the inclination and shape of the bottom surface of the distribution member 28d, and the flow-down ratio of the other flow rate is set to be higher than the other.

Further, the rear flow-down port 28b is disposed immediately above the second winning port 42 provided in the recess 3 of the winning device 4, and when the game ball B flows down from the rear flow-down port 28b. The second winning opening 42 is won with a high probability. When the game ball B wins the second winning opening 42, for example, as in the first and second embodiments, a right to start a special variable display game is generated and the winning ball is paid out. .
Further, the front-side downflow port 28c is disposed immediately above the passing gate 41a on the front side (front side of the game board 1 surface) of the recessed portion 3 of the winning device 4, and when the game ball B flows down from the front-side downflow port 28c. Flows into the passage gate 41a with a high probability. When the game ball B flows into the passing gate 41a, for example, the usual right to start a variable display game is generated, but no prize ball is paid out.

Accordingly, the game ball B that has flowed onto the distribution member 28d is distributed to one of the two flow-down ports 28b and 28c while moving around on the distribution member 28d, whereby the game ball B is transferred to the passage gate 41a. Whether the inflow or the second winning opening 42 is won is assigned. In some cases, the flow does not flow into the passing gate 41a or the second winning port 42 even though the flow down ports 28b and 28c flow down.
Further, the game ball B flowing down from the front flow-down port 28c wins the second winning port 42 on the rear side, or the game ball B flowing down from the rear flow-down port 28b flows into the front passing gate 41a. There is also a case. Such a state can be regulated by providing the same lid member 5 as in the first embodiment.

  That is, in the third embodiment, the game ball B falls freely between the flow-down ports 28b and 28c of the sorting member 28d and the passing gate 41a and the second winning port 42 even after being distributed to the sorting member 28d. Since there is a space to be moved (a space that can move back and forth, left and right), the sorting result may change. Accordingly, the distribution is performed in two stages, and the player watches the flow-down mode of the game ball B with an expectation until the distribution result is finally determined.

  The game ball introduction device 28a in the pachinko gaming machine of the third embodiment as described above has the flow down holes 28b and 28c for introducing the received game ball B into the internal space of the recess 3 (one flow down hole 28b is a game). Spheres B are introduced into the recesses 3) in the front-rear direction (two), and the received game balls B are distributed to any of the flow-down ports 28b, 28c provided in the front-rear direction. The winning device 4 has one of which is set as a winning port 42 (or a starting winning port for starting a variable display game) and the other is set as a passing gate 41a. It can be said that the flow-down ports 28b and 28c of the ball introducing device 28a and the winning port 42 and the passing gate 41a of the winning device 4 are configured to correspond to each other.

More specifically, the winning device 4 is provided with a winning port 42 at the rear and a passing gate 41a at the front, and when the flowing down port 28b at the rear of the game ball introducing device 28a flows down, the winning port 42 is configured so that it is easy to win or win a prize, but when it flows down the flow-down port 28c in front of the game ball introducing device 28a, it is said that it is configured to pass through or easily pass through the passing gate 41a. it can.
In this way, the game ball introduction device 28a includes not only the function of introducing the game ball B into the recess 3 but also the function of distributing the game ball B to which position it flows down. It becomes a good accessory device. In addition, it is possible to provide game contents that can fully enjoy which of the first and second inflow ports (passage gate 41a, winning opening 42) is won.

In the present invention as described above, in the case of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, when the winning device 4 is slidable back and forth and moved forward, the two winning ports 41 and 42 are provided. It may be configured such that only the front winning opening 41 is positioned in the recess 3 when it appears in the recess 3 and on the surface of the game board 1 and moves backward.
For example, in the normal state, the winning device 4 is moved backward, and in order to facilitate start winning such as a specific gaming state (probability variation state), the winning device 4 is moved forward. By doing so, there is one start winning opening in the normal state and two start winning openings in the specific gaming state, so that the starting winning is facilitated in the specific gaming state.

  In the case of such a configuration, a through hole is formed in the game board 1 at the position of the winning device 4, and the winning device 4 can be moved back and forth in a state where the winning device 4 is passed through the position of the through hole. A guide support portion for instructing the player is provided, and an electric drive source for driving the winning device 4 back and forth is provided on the back side of the game board 1. Then, it is conceivable that the electric drive source can be controlled by the game control device 70.

Further, the value generated when the game ball B flows into the inflow ports before and after the winning device 4 (the winning ports 41, 42, the passing gate 41a, etc.) may be configured as follows.
That is, the game board 1 is provided with two first and second (special figure) variation display devices, and one of the front and rear winning openings 41, 42 is displayed as a variation display of the first variation display device. The start winning opening for starting the game is used, and the other winning openings 41 and 42 are used as starting winning openings for starting the variable display game in the second variable display device.

  In addition, the front and rear winning holes 41 and 42 are respectively used as starting winning holes in the same manner as in the first and second embodiments, but one of the winning holes 41 and 42 is changed according to the winning of the game ball B. As the start winning opening for giving the start condition once, the other winning openings 41 and 42 are set as the start winning openings for giving the start condition of the variable display game a plurality of times (for example, twice) by winning the game ball B. Either winning opening 41 or 42 may be given with a plurality of start conditions, but it is desirable to set it to the winning opening 41 or 42 having a low winning rate.

  Further, based on the winning of the game ball B at the specific winning opening provided in the gaming area, a special right state (conventional type 3 special right state) is generated, and the start winning opening ( The above winning device 4 is provided in a gaming machine in which the variable winning device is converted to the open state based on the winning of the game ball B in the conventional type 3 start winning port), and one of the winning devices 4 is provided. The prize winning openings 41 and 42 may be specified prize winning openings. The other winning ports 41 and 42 are, for example, general winning ports.

  In this case, for example, the game ball introducing device 28a may be provided with a croon or the like as in the third embodiment so that the player can see which winning port 41 or 42 will win the game over time. desired.

  As another example, the movable member of the variable winning device is converted into an open state a predetermined number of times based on the winning of the game ball B at the start winning opening (for example, once for 0.5 seconds or 2 for 0.8 seconds). When an auxiliary game that is intermittently released) is executed, and the game ball B that has flowed into the variable winning device due to the conversion to the open state wins a special winning port (continuous winning port) provided inside the variable winning device In addition, a special gaming state is generated in which the movable member of the variable winning device is converted to the player more advantageously than the case of the auxiliary game (the opening of 0.8 seconds is performed at a maximum of 18). When the game ball B that has flowed into the variable winning device wins a special winning opening, the winning device 4 is connected to a gaming machine (so-called wings) that keeps the special gaming state (up to 15 rounds). You may make it provide.

  In this case, the winning device 4 is provided with two start winning ports (winning ports 41, 42), and one winning port 41, 42 is given a plurality of times to give a starting condition for opening the movable member a plurality of times (twice). As the opening start winning opening, the other winning opening 41, 42 is set as a once opening starting winning opening that gives a starting condition for opening the movable member once. For example, when this is applied to a gaming machine provided with the lid member 5 as in the first embodiment, the rear winning opening 42 is opened a plurality of times and the starting winning opening 41 is opened once, and the starting winning prize is opened once. A mouth (because the cover member 5 is present, the game ball B is not awarded to the rear prize opening 42 unless the game ball B is introduced into the recess 3 by the game ball introduction device 28). In addition, when applied to the second embodiment, it is desirable to open the front winning opening 41 a plurality of times to be a starting winning opening (there is no cover member 5, so that the game ball B is recessed in the game ball introducing device 29). Although there is an opportunity to win a prize at the rear prize opening 42 even though it is not introduced into the game 3, the front prize prize inlet 41 is guided to the game ball introduction device 29 like the prize prize inlet 42 at the rear. This is because there is a possibility that the winning rate may be lower than the rear winning port 42). Moreover, the recessed part 3 may be formed directly under the above-mentioned variable winning device as the wings, and the game ball introducing device 29 (28a) may be formed below the variable winning device.

  Further, as another example, a winning hole is provided at the lower part of the front end of the outlet holes 34, 34 or the grooves 32, 32 serving as the discharging port of the recess 3, and the probability that the discharged game ball B wins the winning port is determined. You may make it raise, and you may provide the gate used as the starting opening of a usual figure change display game instead of this winning prize opening.

  As another example, the game board 1 may be made of synthetic resin instead of wooden. If molded with synthetic resin, the recess 3 can be easily formed, and its dimensions can be accurate. In this case, the inflow adjusting nails 6, 6 may be press-fitted from the surface of the game board 1, or the inflow adjusting nails 6, 6 are arranged in a mold when the game board 1 is molded, The inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 may be attached to the game board 1 made of synthetic resin by insert molding that is integrally molded.

As another example, in the first embodiment, the cover member 5 that closes the recess 3 is formed of a clear member. However, the cover member 5 is formed of a half mirror and a lamp is provided in the recess 3 to control lighting of the lamp. And you may make it convert into the state which can visually recognize the inside of the recessed part 3, and the state which cannot be visually recognized.
For example, as a state in which the game ball B cannot be visually recognized (the lamp is turned off) in a normal state, the game ball B flows into the flow outlet 251 of the stage unit 25 (when a sensor is installed in the flow outlet 251 and the inflow is detected). The lamp may be turned on so that the inside of the recessed portion 3 can be visually recognized while the game ball B is flowing down into the recessed portion 3 by turning on the lamp). In this way, in a normal state, it can be made easy to see whether or not the game ball B flowing down the front of the lid member 5 wins the front winning opening 41, and the game ball B flows down into the recess 3. If it is, you can check the flow down state. The lamp has an opening formed in the rear wall (thin plate portion 1b) of the recess B and is provided in the opening. The opening may be covered with a lens member that transmits light.

  Also. As another example, in the first embodiment or the like, the recess 3 is formed on the surface of the wooden game board 1, but an opening (opening through to the back side) is formed in the game board 1, A recess forming member made of synthetic resin may be attached to form the recess 3 on the surface of the game board 1. That is, the rear surface wall of the recess 3 is configured not by the game board 1 (thin plate portion 1b) but by a wall surface integrally molded with a synthetic resin as a recess forming member. In this case, the recess forming member is provided with a mounting base that is attached to the surface of the game board 1 and a concave forming frame that is formed behind the mounting base and forms the recess 3. The inflow adjusting nails 6 and 6 may be insert-molded on the rear wall (thin plate portion 1b) of the recess forming member, or may be press-fitted and planted. A synthetic resin inflow adjusting member that functions in the same manner as the inflow adjusting nail may be projected forward from the face wall (thin plate portion 1b) and integrally molded.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, and can be applied to other ball game machines such as other pachinko gaming machines, arrange ball gaming machines, and sparrow ball gaming machines.
In addition, it should be considered that the embodiment disclosed this time is illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
