Description

  The present invention relates to a pusher game device that uses medals and coins.

  Of the medal game machines configured to allow players (players) to enter medals and coins for play (hereinafter collectively referred to as “medals”, the same applies in the present invention) and collect medals, A pusher game machine is generally used to push out a plurality of medals placed on a table by a reciprocating movement of a push plate, drop the collected medals into a predetermined collecting device, collect the medals, and pay out the medals. Various devices are known.

For example, Patent Document 1 describes a plurality of pusher game devices that improve game performance by combining and executing a lottery game using balls in addition to a pusher game using medals. In such a conventional device, a ball is supplied from a predetermined supply position to a lottery device by a rail or other transport mechanism, and a lottery game is played by the lottery device.
Japanese Patent No. 3499217

  However, in the above conventional pusher game device, since a lottery game is performed using a lottery device provided separately from the rail and the transport mechanism, the device mechanism becomes complicated, and the installation space increases and the device scale increases. Tended to increase in size. Furthermore, in this conventional apparatus, a plurality of game stations and their game areas are provided so that a plurality of players can simultaneously execute a pusher game. Since installation space for a large lottery device is required, it is difficult to install a lottery device for each game area.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and can simplify the device configuration for the lottery game to reduce the number of parts and the installation space, and thereby improve the reliability of the device. An object is to provide a pusher game device.

  In order to solve the above problems, a pusher game device according to the present invention has a medal insertion portion into which a medal is inserted, a medal feeding mechanism that communicates with the medal insertion portion and extends in a predetermined direction, and has a substantially plate shape. And a medal table provided so as to be capable of reciprocating below the end of the medal feeding mechanism, and disposed on one end side in the reciprocating direction of the medal table. The interference part provided to interfere with the medal that has been detained, and the other side of the medal table in the reciprocating direction of the medal table and projecting from the medal table, the medal dropped from the medal table is temporarily detained A base board, a medal receiving part for collecting medals dropped from the base board, a medal paying part for paying out the collected medals, and a spherical lottery moving body. Formed to be movable A lottery unit having a detection mechanism for detecting the position of the lottery moving body in the track, and a sending mechanism provided on at least one end of the track and sending the lottery moving body on the track Based on the position of the lottery moving body detected by the means, a plurality of game stations including a medal discharge unit from which a predetermined amount of medals are released are provided, and the detection means includes a plurality of the play stations along the track. Are provided in common to at least two game stations, preferably all of the game stations.

  In the pusher game apparatus configured as described above, when a player inserts a game medal from the medal insertion unit at each game station, the medal is released onto the medal table by the medal feeding mechanism. The medal table reciprocates in the front-rear direction, for example. When the medal accumulates on the medal table, the medal on the medal table and the interference arranged on one end side (for example, the rear) of the medal table eventually. The medals are pushed out to the other end side (for example, the front side) of the medal stand and fall on the base board. The dropped medal is pushed out by the side wall (for example, the front wall) of the medal stand.

  In this way, medals are accumulated on the base board, and eventually the medals overflowing from the base board are dropped downwards and collected in the medal receiving section by pushing out the medal base. The collected medals are paid out from the medal receiving part to the medal paying part and provided to the player.

  Further, each game station is provided with a lottery section for performing a lottery game different from a series of games (so-called pusher game) from the insertion of medals to the payout of medals as described above. As a result, a spherical lottery moving body is released onto the track by the sending mechanism, and a predetermined amount of medals, for example, a large number of medals, are sent from the medal releasing unit to the pusher game area according to the stop position of the lottery moving body. A lottery game of releasing is executed. At this time, since the detecting means for detecting the position of the lottery moving body on the track is provided in common for at least two game stations among the plurality of game stations, the lottery game of these at least two game stations. , The stop position of the lottery moving body is detected by the single detection means provided in common.

  Therefore, a lottery section for performing a lottery game is provided at each game station to improve playability, and the track itself for transporting the lottery moving body can function as a lottery device, thus simplifying the device configuration. Thus, the number of parts and the installation space can be reduced, and the reliability of the apparatus can be improved. Moreover, if the detection means is provided in common to all the game stations, the number of parts and the installation space can be further reduced.

  Such a lottery game may be executed independently of the pusher game, or may be executed in combination or in combination when a predetermined play condition is satisfied in the pusher game. From the latter, the latter is desirable.

  In addition, the lottery tracks provided in each game station may be arranged in any way, but the tracks of the at least two game stations provided with a common detection means are arranged in parallel. preferable.

  In this way, the arrangement space for the members can be further reduced, and the free space can be used effectively. For example, if the trajectory of the lottery unit is arranged at a position that can be viewed from a plurality of players, the lottery can be selected by other players By appreciating the game, not only the person who is playing the lottery game but also the motivation for the game of other players can be stimulated. In addition, as the plurality of tracks are arranged in parallel and the interval between them is smaller, there is an advantage that the detection means provided in common with each game station can be reduced in size and easily shared.

  More specifically, each track of the at least two game stations having a common detection means has a plurality of track rails, and one of the at least two game stations. At least one track rail of the station and at least one track rail of the track of another game station among the at least two game stations are adjacent to each other, and the detection means is adjacent It is preferable that it is arranged on the track rail or in the vicinity of the track rail provided adjacent thereto.

  If the track is constituted by track rails in this way, the lottery moving body can be moved smoothly. In addition, since the detection means is provided in the adjacent track rail or in the vicinity thereof, the detection means provided in common to the plurality of game stations can be further miniaturized and more easily shared.

  Further, the track rail preferably has a portion that extends horizontally. In this case, the horizontal portion may be entirely horizontal, or may be held horizontally as a whole while being unevenly provided in part. Also good. In this way, although depending on the rolling inertia of the lottery moving body, it is difficult for the player to immediately determine the stop position, thereby improving the game performance.

  Further, it is more preferable that the detection means has a plurality of detection sensor units arranged along each track. In this case, the range of the trajectory in which the lottery moving body moves (that is, the lottery area) is divided into a plurality of position detection areas according to the plurality of detection sensor units, so that the position detection of the lottery moving body can be easily and reliably performed. To be done. Also, from a different point of view, when multiple medal amounts to be ejected by lottery lottery are provided in stages, the lottery area is set to an area according to the number of types of medal amount. If it is divided, it suffices to arrange the detection sensor portions as many as the number of the areas, so that the detection sensor portions can be optimized to the minimum number of components.

  More specifically, the detection sensor unit is straddled across the trajectory of the one game station and the trajectory of the other game station, and is pivotally supported by the weight of the lottery moving body. It is preferable to have a free-moving part and a detection part that detects the inclined state of the free-moving part.

  In this way, the structure of the detection sensor unit is simplified, and the position of the lottery moving body on the track is simply detected based only on the inclination state of the idler unit, so that a complicated position detection mechanism is not required. Yes, and this further increases the reliability of the device.

  Alternatively, at least two game stations having a common detection means are adjacent to each other, and the track is extended over at least two game stations adjacent to each other. Is preferable.

  In this case, the track is located at one of the at least two game stations and the first end provided with one delivery mechanism, and the track is located at the other game station of the at least two game stations. The second end portion provided with the delivery mechanism, and the first end portion and the second end portion are formed to be connected, the detection sensor portion is provided, and the sent lottery moving body is finally It is more preferable to have a stationary track body.

  In this way, the trajectory is easily shared by at least two game stations arranged side by side, and the lottery for movement moves on the trajectory body located between the game stations. It becomes easier to visually recognize.

  In addition, the lottery part is disposed above the first end portion in the track, and the lottery portion is linearly formed from one end to the other end provided so as to be in contact with the boundary portion between the first end portion and the track body. A first slope portion extending obliquely upward in a curved shape and one end disposed above the second end portion of the track and provided so as to be in contact with a boundary portion between the second end portion and the track body And a second slope portion extending obliquely upward in a straight line or curved shape from the first end to the other end. Each of the first slope portion and the second slope portion is provided at the first end portion. When the lottery moving body is sent out on the track from the other sending mechanism provided at the second end portion, it is preferable that one end is movable so as not to interfere with the lottery moving body. It is.

  In such a configuration, when the lottery moving body is sent out on the track from the first end or the second end by the sending mechanism, the lottery moving body is moved to the first slope portion or the side closer to the sending mechanism. After being driven on the track main body without interfering with the second slope portion and running up along the other slope portion extending obliquely upward, it is returned to the main body on the track again. At this time, after the lottery moving body is sent out, if the one end of the slope portion on that side moves immediately in contact with the track body, the lottery moving body has the first slope portion, the track body, and the first It reciprocates on two slopes and is finally placed on the track body.

  Further, it is more preferable that the track main body has a corrugated shape at least a part of the portion in contact with the lottery moving body. Here, the “corrugated shape” indicates a general shape having a corrugated undulation, in other words, a general shape in which “mountains” and “valleys” are smoothly connected.

  When a lottery moving body, particularly a spherical object, moves on such a track body, the lottery moving body moves in a manner that swells (corrugates) along the corrugated shape of the track body. When the vehicle is decelerated at the part of “”, it is difficult to predict which side of the mountain to move to, and the preference of the game increases. In addition, since the lottery moving body is surely stopped at the “valley” portion, the positioning effect is also achieved.

  And in this case, if the detection sensor unit is disposed at a position corresponding to the corrugated valley bottom (that is, the “valley”) in the track body, it is easy to detect the stop position of the lottery moving body, And there exists an advantage that the detection mistake of the mobile body for lottery can be prevented more reliably.

  Furthermore, it is useful to provide return means for moving the lottery for movement placed on the track to the initial position. More specifically, it is preferable that the returning means has a loop shape, is provided so as to be movable along the trajectory, and has an interference portion that interferes with the lottery moving body. In this way, the endless return means is rotated along the track body, so that the interference part of the return means can be quickly carried along the track to the initial position while interfering with the lottery moving body. Becomes simple.

  Furthermore, when the lottery mobile body is sent out on the track, the power output adjustment provided so that the player can adjust the impulse (change in momentum; in other words, the sending intensity) given to the lottery mobile body. It is useful to have a part.

  In such a configuration, the player can determine or select the transmission strength (momentum) of the lottery mobile body to be sent out on the track, and the lottery mobile body can be appropriately adjusted in such a manner. Is sent to the orbit, so that the player can aim at the desired stop position of the lottery moving body, and the game performance is further improved. In addition, as described above, when the track has a horizontal portion and a lottery region where the lottery moving body stops is set in the horizontal portion, such a transmission output adjusting unit is particularly useful.

  In this case, it is more preferable that the transmission output adjustment unit has a display unit that displays the degree of impulse given to the lottery moving body so that the player can visually recognize it. This makes it easy for the player to adjust the desired strength while checking the sending strength of the lottery moving body while looking at the display unit. Further, the player can easily grasp the transmission strength of the lottery moving body.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the transmission output adjustment unit changes the impulse (sending intensity) given to the lottery moving body regularly or randomly. More specifically, the transmission intensity can be changed regularly (for example, continuously or intermittently) or randomly (randomly) from the minimum value to the maximum value, and displayed so that it can be seen by the player. As a result, the game performance can be further improved.

  According to the pusher game device of the present invention, in addition to the configuration for performing the normal pusher game, the lottery unit having a detecting means for sending the lottery moving body onto the track and detecting the stop position of the lottery moving body is provided. Since the detection means is provided in common to a plurality of game stations along the track, the device configuration can be simplified and the number of parts and the installation space can be reduced while improving the playability. As a result, the reliability of the apparatus can be improved.

An indwelling flat base board 35 is installed. The medal base 31 moves so as to be in sliding contact with the base board 35. Further, a medal accommodating portion 4 having an opening 4 a is provided inside the base housing Ka below the front side of the base board 35, and a medal hopper 41 communicating with the medal paying portion 11 is connected to the medal accommodating portion 4. Has been.

  On the other hand, a carnival game unit 5 (lottery unit) is provided above the V zone game unit 2. The carnival game unit 5 is provided at both ends of a guide rail unit 50 (track) extended so as to be movable while holding the ball B (moving body for lottery), and is supported on the upper side of the V zone game unit 2. A ball launching portion 51 (feeding mechanism) is provided. Note that the “carnival game” generally means attraction such as ring throwing and shooting often seen at fairs and festivals, but the carnival game unit 5 of the present embodiment is a lottery mobile as described later. A game aiming to pay out a large number of medals M by rolling the ball B is performed as a “jackpot carnival game”.

  The guide rail portion 50 extends upward and in the depth direction from the ball launching portion 51, bends in the vicinity of the top end portion of the V zone game portion 2, and extends horizontally above the V zone game portions 2 and 2. It is composed of a plurality of arranged rails (track rails), and a horizontal portion thereof includes a plurality of position sensors D for detecting the position of the ball B (each of which is a detection sensor unit, and collectively constitutes detection means. Is installed along the rail. The ball launching portion 51 has a plurality of ball stoppers 51a provided in multiple stages and a ball launching mechanism 51b including an elastic member, and holds the ball B and guides the ball B under a predetermined condition. This is for launching onto the rail portion 50.

  Here, FIG. 5 is a front view (partially omitted) showing the main part (horizontal part) of the guide rail part 50, FIG. 6 is the same top view (partially omitted), and FIG. It is sectional drawing which follows the VII-VII line in 5 and FIG. The horizontal portion of the guide rail portion 50 includes two rails 53 and 53 (track rails) constituting the guide rail portion 50 of the station 1 arranged on the front side in the drawing of FIG. 1 and a station arranged on the back side. Two rails 53 and 53 (track rails) constituting one guide rail portion 50 are juxtaposed and fixed together by holders 57 and 57 at both ends thereof.

  Further, the interval between the rails 53 and 53 of each station 1 is made smaller than the outer diameter of the ball B, so that the ball B can be moved while being held on the rails 53 and 53. . Furthermore, the rail 53 of one station 1 (one game station) and the rail 53 of the other station 1 (other game station) are adjacent to each other over the entire length, and immediately below the adjacent rails 53, 53. The rod 54 is installed along the full length direction. Each position sensor D has a substantially U-shaped suspension plate Da (supported and suspended so as to be freely movable around the rod 54 by inserting the rod 54 into a hole Ha drilled in the central portion. A floating portion), a hanging plate Db projecting downward from the bottom wall of the suspension plate Da, and an optical sensor Dc separately provided below them. Thus, the detection part is comprised from the drooping board Db and the optical sensor Dc.

  In the suspension plate Da, the end W of one side wall is located between the rails 53 of the one guide rail portion 50, and the end W of the other side wall is the rail 53 of the other guide rail portion 50. 53, the end portions W, W are straddled between the guide rail portions 50, 50 so as to come into contact with the balls B, B moving on the guide rail portions 50, 50, respectively.

  In addition, the side wall and bottom wall of the suspension board Da are perforated with an appropriate area so as to reduce the weight while ensuring the strength. The optical sensor Dc has two plate-like members P and P that are opposed to each other so as to sandwich the hanging plate Db and are formed with holes Hc.

  Here, when the suspension plate Da is not in contact with the ball B, the suspension plate Da is suspended so that the bottom wall is horizontal, and the hanging plate Db is in a state of closing the center of the hole Hc of the optical sensor Dc ( (See the suspension plate Da shown by a solid line in FIG. 7). On the other hand, when the ball B is positioned on the suspension board Da, the rod 54 is moved so that the end W of the suspension board Da in contact with the ball B is pushed by its own weight and the other end W is pushed up. As a result, the hanging plate Db is displaced from the center of the hole Hc of the optical sensor Dc (see the suspension plate Da indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 7).

  Further, referring back to FIG. 1, a ball collection mechanism 52 (return means) for returning the ball B stopped on the rail to the ball launching portion 51 is provided above the horizontal portion of the guide rail portion 50. In the ball collection mechanism 52, a jig 52b (interference portion) arranged so as to interfere with the ball B in the vertical direction is slidable on a guide rod 52a extending along a horizontal portion of the guide rail portion 50. It is provided. Further, return prevention stoppers 55, 55 that can move up and down are installed above both ends of the horizontal portion of the guide rail portion 50.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram showing a functional configuration of the pusher game device 100. Each station 1 includes an arithmetic control unit 15, to which the V zone game unit 2, pusher game unit 3, medal storage unit 4, and audio output unit 8 for outputting various sounds are connected. Yes.

  Further, the calculation control unit 15 of each station 1 is connected to the calculation control unit 65 of the common processing unit 6 (host) having the host function of the station 1 via the bus Bu for inputting and outputting data and communication signals. Has been. The arithmetic control unit 65 includes the carnival game unit 5, the storage unit 61 in which the OS program and programs and data for executing various games are recorded permanently or temporarily in a readable / writable manner, and the pusher game device 100. An illumination unit 62 composed of various types of lighting fixtures used and an audio output unit 8 are connected. Further, a power supply system (not shown) is connected to each station 1 and the common processing unit 6. Note that the arithmetic control unit 65 of the common processing unit 6 can be connected to the common processing unit 6 (the arithmetic control unit 65) of the other pusher game device 100 to perform communication between the pusher game devices 100. is there.

  A procedure for implementing an example of the medal game in the pusher game device 100 configured as described above will be described below. Here, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a main part of the pusher game device 100, and is a view mainly showing a part of the V-zone game unit 2 and the pusher game unit 3. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of a procedure for executing the medal game in the pusher game device 100.

[Pusher game: Step S1]
When the player inserts a medal M from the medal insertion unit 12, the medal M is released onto the medal table 31 by the medal feeding mechanism 14. The medal table 31 reciprocates in the front-rear direction (in the direction of the arrow X in the figure), and when the medal M is accumulated on the medal table 31, the medal on the medal table 31 and the lower end of the V zone game unit 2 are eventually reached. The front wall 27 (interference part) interferes and the medal M is pushed forward of the medal table 31 and falls onto the base board 35 (see the arrow Y1 in the drawing). The dropped medal M is pushed forward by the lower end portion of the front wall 31a of the medal stand 31.

  In this way, the medals M are gradually accumulated on the base board 35, and the medals M overflowing from the base board 35 are dropped downward from the opening 4a by the push of the medal table 31, and the inside of the medal container 4 Is housed in. The medal receiving unit 4 detects that the medal M has been collected, and this signal is input to the calculation control unit 15 to instruct the medal hopper 41 to pay out the medal M. As a result, the medal M dropped from the base board 35 to the medal accommodating portion 4 or the corresponding medal M is discharged to the medal paying portion 11 by the medal hopper 41 of the medal accommodating portion 4 and provided to the player. The medal payout is performed by the medal insertion unit 12 detecting that the medal M has been inserted into the medal insertion unit 12, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the payout operation from the medal storage unit 4 to the medal discharge unit 11 is performed. You may do it.

  In such a normal pusher game, when the inserted medal M falls from the medal table 31 onto the base board 35, if any of the chuckers 32 is passed (chucker winning), various games different from the normal game are executed. The

[Chucka winning and medal payout: Step S2]
First, when the medal M passes through one of the chuckers 32 (see, for example, the arrow Y3 in the figure), a detection signal from a passage sensor (not shown) provided in the chucker 32 is input to the arithmetic control unit 15, and the medal M is paid out to the V-zone game unit 2. As a result, the amount of medals M allocated in advance to the chucker 32 through which the medals M have passed is paid out toward the medal stand 31 from above the slope 21 of the V zone game unit 2. As described above, the second control unit is configured by the passage sensor and the calculation control unit 15 provided in the chucker 32.

  In the illustrated example, when the medal M passes the chucker 32 labeled “2”, two medals M and M are paid out, and when the medal M passes the chucker 32 labeled “1”, one medal M is obtained. It is to be paid out. Note that the payout amounts of the chucker 32 and the medal M are stored as, for example, a data table in the storage unit of the common processing unit 6, which is referred to by the calculation control unit 65, and the information is further calculated by the calculation control unit 15 of the station 1. (The same applies to the same processing described later).

  The paid-out medals M flow down on the slope 21 and the disc gimmick 22 while being scattered in various directions by the rotation of the disc gimmick 22 and the contact with a plurality of grooves 22a (steps) formed in the disc gimmick 22. (For example, see the arrow Y4 shown in the figure), it is discharged toward the medal table 31 through the payout opening 26 of the V zone game unit 2.

[Slot game: Step S3]
Further, in the case of a chucker winning, in addition to the payout of the prescribed number of medals M, a slot game is performed. Specifically, a detection signal from the passage sensor of the chucker 32 is input to the arithmetic control unit 15, and based on this, the start of the slot game is commanded, and an image of the slot game is displayed and displayed on the display unit 23. The slot starts rotating. Here, the number of times the slot is started is set to be equal to the number of medals M to be paid out. At this time, if the slot pattern is ready, the following chance time game or step point winning process is performed. Further, not only the image display on the display unit 23 but also the audio for the slot game is output from the audio output unit 8.

[Chance Time Game: Step S4]
In the slot game, when a specific pattern predetermined for the chance game is gathered among a plurality of types of patterns displayed on the display unit 23, the information is input to the arithmetic control unit 15 and the time limit is determined. Transition to a chance time game.

  The chance time game of the present embodiment guarantees a payout rate (payout rate) of 100% or more for medals M, and is performed using menus and game images displayed on the V chucker 24 and the chucker 32 and the display unit 23. Is. Here, as an example, the following three types of chance time games are prepared.

  When the chance time game is started, the player can reliably collect more medals M than the inserted amount by inserting as many medals M as possible from the medal insertion unit 12. If the chance time game is cleared (corresponding to “large payout” described later), one step point described later can be obtained.

  In the present embodiment, when an opportunity for a chance time game is given at a certain station 1, the chance time game can be played at another station 1.

(4 point chance)
This chance time game is a game for the purpose of passing the medal M to all the chuckers within a predetermined time, and “4 points” means one V chucker 24 and three chuckers 32 shown in the figure. Pointing. For example, if the medal M is passed through all of these chuckers, it corresponds to the “perfect award”, and the medal M that greatly exceeds the amount of the medal M inserted during the chance time game is paid out (large payout, big hit).

  Even if not all of the chuckers can be passed, if at least one chucker can be passed, an appropriate amount of medals M is paid out (small payout, small hit). It should be noted that the display unit 23 displays, for example, graphic display of the chuckers that the medals M have passed and those that have not passed, together with the time limit, thereby allowing the player to easily grasp the game situation.

(Bingo chance)
This chance time game is a game aiming at aligning bingo cards by passing medal M through chucka within a predetermined time. For example, a 1-digit or 2-digit natural number is randomly selected in a 5 × 5 matrix. It is the same as a general bingo game that aligns vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines in the numerical table arranged in the. For example, when the medal M passes the V checker 24, five numbers are confirmed, when the medal M passes the chucker 32 displayed as "1", one number is confirmed, and when the medal M passes the chucker 32 displayed as "2", two numbers are confirmed. One number is confirmed.

  When a plurality of lines are arranged, a medal M that greatly exceeds the amount of medals M inserted during the chance time game is paid out (large payout, big hit). Even if only one line is prepared, an appropriate amount of medals M is paid out (small payout, small hit). The display unit 23 displays a bingo card image and a ball image on which a number is written together with the time limit, and the determined number and the number part on the bingo card corresponding to the number are displayed in the other part. It is displayed as a graphic separately from numbers and other parts, so that the player can easily grasp the game situation.

(Payback chance)
This chance time game is a game for the purpose of extending the time limit of the chance time game that was initially determined by passing the medal M through the chucker. Is extended. For example, when the medal M passes the V checker 24, the time limit is extended by 5 seconds, and when the medal M passes the checker 32 displayed as "1", the time limit is extended by 2 seconds and passes through the chucker 32 displayed as "2". Then the time limit is extended by 3 seconds. These extended times are added to the game time limit.

If the game can continue to run beyond the time-out time specified separately due to the extension of the time limit due to the passage of the medal of Chukka, the amount of medal M that falls under “time-out” and is inserted during the chance time game The medal M that greatly exceeds is paid out (large payout, big hit). Even if the time-out does not occur, an appropriate amount of medals M is paid out (small payout, small hit) if at least one chucker can be passed. Similar to the 4-point chance, the display unit 23 displays, for example, a graphic display of the chuckers that the medals M have passed and those that have not passed, along with the time limit, so that the player can easily grasp the game situation. .
(Step point winning process: Step S5)

  In the slot game, when a specific pattern predetermined for step point winning is gathered among a plurality of types of patterns displayed on the display unit 23, it corresponds to “step point winning”, and the information is the calculation control unit 15 And one step point is accumulated, and the plurality of ball stoppers 51a of the ball launching portion 51 holding the ball B described above fall down one step.

  The same applies when step points are acquired by clearing the chance time game described above. The initial state of the ball launching portion 51 is a state where all the ball stoppers 51a are erected so as to dam the ball B. When one step point is accumulated, the ball stopper 51a farthest from the ball launching mechanism 51b is The player falls down and the ball B moves to the ball stopper 51a in the previous step. When the specified number of step points (usually equivalent to the number of ball stoppers 51a) is acquired, the next jackpot carnival game can be played.

[Jackpot Carnival Game: Step S6]
This jackpot carnival game is a lottery game aiming at paying out a large number of medals M set in accordance with the position at which the ball B that has been launched stops on the guide rail unit 50 in the carnival game unit 5.

  As described above, when the specified number of step points is obtained, all the ball stoppers 51a fall down and the ball B reaches the ball launching mechanism 51b. Accordingly, the ball B can be launched toward the guide rail portion 50 by the control by the arithmetic control unit 65 of the common processing unit 6. The launch strength of the ball B is displayed on the display unit 23 as a guideline such as an expanding / contracting gauge (indication of the magnitude of the impulse given to the lottery moving body), and the gauge is set to a desired length. At this point, the player can adjust by pressing a ball firing button 13 provided on the console panel 10.

  For example, when the ball firing button 13 is pressed when the telescopic gauge displayed on the display unit 23 is relatively short, the arithmetic control unit 65 gives a relatively “weak” launch strength to the ball launch mechanism based on the gauge length information. The ball B is given a relatively small impulse. On the other hand, when the ball firing button 13 is pressed when the telescopic gauge displayed on the display unit 23 is relatively long, the calculation control unit 65 gives a relatively “strong” launch strength based on the gauge length information to the ball launch mechanism. The ball B is given a relatively large impulse. Then, the ball B is delivered toward the guide rail portion 50 at a speed corresponding to the applied impulse and the mass of the ball B. In this manner, the display unit 23, the ball firing button 13, and the calculation control unit 65 constitute a transmission output adjustment unit.

  Thus, when the ball launch button 13 is pressed, the ball launching mechanism 51b of the ball launching unit 51 launches the ball B with the strength determined by the player. At this time, the return prevention stopper 55 is lifted so as not to interfere with the ball B. The ball B on the rail moves on the guide rail portion 50 and stops at a position where the horizontal portion is present. In some cases, the horizontal portion of the guide rail portion 50 may reciprocate once or more before stopping. When the ball B reaches the horizontal portion, the return prevention stoppers 55 and 55 are lowered and prevented from interfering with the ball B so that the ball B does not return to the ball launching portion 51 side.

  When the ball B stops, the position sensor D detects the stop position. That is, as described above, the end W of the suspension plate Da in contact with the stopped ball B is pushed down and tilted, and the hanging plate Db of the suspension plate Da is displaced from the center of the hole Hc of the optical sensor Dc, This is detected optically, and the information of the position sensor D, that is, the detected position is output to the calculation control unit 65. The arithmetic control unit 65 instructs the jackpot paying unit 20a to release the number of medals corresponding to the detected position to the game area (for example, the medal stand 31) of the station 1 where the jackpot carnival game is executed. As a result, the number of medals M corresponding to the detected position is released from the jackpot payout unit 20a toward the medal stand 31 of the station 1 that executed the game. The number of medals determined according to the stop position of the ball B is preferably displayed on the jackpot display unit 7.

  In the present embodiment, while a jackpot carnival game is being performed at a certain station 1, various games other than the normal game and the jackpot carnival game can be performed at other stations 1. In the meantime, even if an opportunity for a jackpot carnival game arrives at another station 1, the execution of the jackpot carnival game at the other station 1 is in a standby state until the ongoing jackpot carnival game ends.

[V zone actor game: Step S7]
As described above, when the medal M passes the chucker 32 (chucker winning: step S2), the slot game (step S3) is performed, and the process proceeds to the subsequent game processing according to the result, while the V zone is obtained by the chucker winning. When the medal M paid out toward the medal stand 31 from the medal discharging unit 21b opened above the slope 21 of the game unit 2 flows down the slope 21 and the disc gimmick 22 and passes the V chucker 24, the V zone role A physical game is started.

  If the medal M that falls from the medal base 31 to the base board 35 passes the chucker 32 during the execution of the V zone bonus game, the amount of the medal M that is paid out when passing the chucker 32 is larger than usual (for example, ). Specifically, two medals M are normally paid out when passing the chucker 32 labeled “2”. However, if the V zone bonus game is being executed, for example, four medals M are displayed. It is paid out to the V zone game part 2. Therefore, in the V zone combination game, the payout rate (payout rate) of the medal M is guaranteed to be 100% or more.

  In the V zone bonus game, even when a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) has elapsed or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of medals M have been paid out, another medal M is further added to the V zone. The process ends when the checker 24 is not passed. In other words, if another medal M passes the V checker 24 within a predetermined condition, the V zone combination game is continuously executed.

  More specifically, in this V zone combination game, when the medal M passes the V checker 24, a detection signal from a passage sensor (not shown) provided in the V checker 24 is input to the arithmetic control unit 15. And started based on a command from the arithmetic control unit 15. At this time, according to the command, the shutter 25 which has been lowered to the slope 21 side from the upper surface level of the V chucker 24 in the normal state is raised, and the upper end surface of the shutter 25 becomes substantially the same level as the upper surface of the disc gimmick 22. It stops at the state and the state is maintained.

  In this state, the flow of the medal M flowing down the slope 21 is blocked by the shutter 25, and the medal M is accumulated in the groove 22a of the disc gimmick 22. When the grooves 22a of the disc gimmick 22 are filled and the level difference between the shutter 25 and the upper surface of the accumulated medal M is eliminated, the movement of the medal M flowing down the slope 21 becomes difficult to be affected by the groove 22a. Even in a state where the rotation continues, it becomes easy to slide down in the direct downward direction. This makes it easier for the medal M to flow into the V chucker 24. In other words, the medal winning probability of the V chucker 24 is increased, so that the possibility that the V zone combination game is continuously executed increases. As a result, the number of medals M discharged to the V-zone game unit 2 increases exponentially, and the number of passages of the chucker 32, that is, the number of times of winning the chucker also increases dramatically.

  Further, when the medal M flows down so as to pass through the gap of the medal guide portion 22b, the movement of the medal M is restricted by the gap of the medal guide portion 22b, so that the moving direction of the medal M is further narrowed. Then, the medal guide portion 22b defines a flow path for the medal M, whereby the medal M further easily flows into the V chucker 24.

  Note that if a chucker is won during the execution of the V zone bonus game, the above-mentioned slot game (step S3) is not executed, but a chance time game (step S4) that may be executed after the slot game. The medal M to be paid out is stored. Therefore, if the number of stored medals is increased by the V zone bonus game, the number of payouts in the chance time game after the slot game performed when winning the chucker in the normal game can be increased.

  According to the pusher game device 100 configured as described above, the carnival game unit 5 in which the jackpot carnival game, which is a lottery game using the ball B, is provided with the guide rail unit 50, and this guide rail unit 50 functions not only as a delivery / conveyance means for the ball B, but also as a lottery for its horizontal portion. This eliminates the need for a lottery device provided separately from the rails and the transport mechanism, which has been necessary in the past, thereby simplifying the device configuration and reducing the number of parts and installation space, as well as device reliability. Can also be improved.

  Further, the rails 53 and 53 that respectively constitute the guide rail portions 50 and 50 of the two stations 1 and 1 arranged opposite to each other are adjacent to each other, and the guide rail portions 50 and 50 are provided side by side. Since the position sensors D are installed, these position sensors D can be shared by the two stations 1 and 1. Therefore, the number of parts and the installation space can be further reduced, and the economy can be improved.

  Furthermore, since the guide rail part 50 used as the track | orbit of the ball | bowl B is comprised by the rail 53, the ball | bowl B can be moved smoothly. Furthermore, since the guide rail portion 50 constituted by the rail 53 extends substantially horizontally, the player cannot easily or immediately determine the stop position of the ball B, thereby increasing the player's sense of tension. This can improve game characteristics such as entertainment. Furthermore, since the rails 53 and 53 are adjacent to each other and the position sensor D is provided in the vicinity thereof, the position sensor D commonly used for the stations 1 and 1 can be reduced in size and further shared. It becomes easy.

  In addition, since a plurality of position sensors D are provided, the range of the trajectory (the lottery area) in which the ball B moves is divided into a plurality of position detection areas according to the plurality of position sensors D. The position detection can be performed easily and reliably. Further, in the case where a plurality of medals M to be discharged (number of sheets) are prepared with a stepwise difference depending on the result of the jackpot carnival game, a lottery area is defined as an area corresponding to the number of types of medals M. If it is divided, the position sensors D need only be provided for the number of areas, and therefore the position sensors D can be optimized to the minimum necessary number of parts.

  Furthermore, the suspension plate Da of the position sensor D is straddled between the stations 1 and 1, and is pivotally supported by the rod 54 so as to be tilted by the weight of the ball B. Since the sensor Dc detects the tilted state (presence or absence of tilting) of the suspension plate Da, the structure of the position sensor D is simple, and on the guide rail portion 50 based only on the tilted state of the suspension plate Da. The position of the ball B can be easily detected. Therefore, a complicated position detection mechanism is not necessary, and the reliability of the apparatus can be further improved.

  In addition, when the ball B is delivered onto the guide rail portion 50, the player presses the ball firing button 13 while referring to a visually observable guideline such as an expansion gauge displayed on the display unit 23, and the ball The impulse given to B can be adjusted, whereby the player can determine the hitting strength (momentum) of the ball B as desired. As a result, the player can aim the stop position of the ball B at a position where a larger amount of medals M can be obtained, and the game performance can be further improved.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 8 is a front view (partially cutaway view) showing a partial configuration of the second embodiment of the pusher game apparatus according to the present invention. The pusher game device 200 includes a carnival game unit 9 (lottery unit) instead of the carnival game unit 5, and a jackpot payout unit 20b (medal release unit) instead of the jackpot payout unit 20a. The pusher game apparatus 100 is configured in the same manner as described above.

  The carnival game unit 9 is a part where a game similar to the jackpot carnival game in step S6 is performed, and is arranged side by side at both ends of a track 90 that is movably extended while holding the ball B. Also, ball launching portions 91b and 91c (both of which are delivery mechanisms) provided on the upper side portions of the two V zone game portions 2 and 2 are provided. The carnival game unit 9 is commonly used by the two V-zone game units 2 and 2, but the ball launching units 91b and 91c and the ball B are provided for the two V-zone game units 2 and 2, respectively. It has been.

  As shown in the drawing, the track 90 extends between two V-zone game units 2 and 2, that is, two stations 1 and 1, and includes a first end 90b provided with a ball launching portion 91b, and a ball It is comprised from the 2nd end part 90c in which the launch part 91c is provided, and the track | orbit main body 90a provided in the substantially horizontal connected between them. A plurality of position sensors DD for detecting the position of the ball B (each of which is a detection sensor unit and collectively constitutes detection means) are disposed on the track main body 90a. Further, the ball launching portions 91b and 91c are installed so as to be rotatable about fulcrums Eb and Ec, respectively, for holding the ball B and for launching the ball B onto the track 90 under predetermined conditions. It is. The first end portion 90b and the second end portion 90c are installed with the track portions inclined toward the ball launch portions 91b and 91c, respectively, with respect to the track body 90a.

  Further, above the track 90, a first slope portion 93b and a second slope portion 93c having the same shape and having a gentle substantially arc shape and a U-shaped cross section are provided so as to face each other. Both are installed so as to be pivotable about fulcrums Fb and Fc, respectively. The first slope portion 93b is provided so that the bottom wall of the lower end Tb1 thereof can be brought into contact with the boundary between the track main body 90a and the first end 90b of the track 90, and extends obliquely upward toward the upper end Tb2. . On the other hand, the second slope part 93c is provided so that the bottom wall of the lower end Tc1 thereof can come into contact with the boundary part between the track main body 90a and the second end part 90c of the track 90, and extends obliquely upward toward the upper end Tc2. ing.

  In such a configuration, when the jackpot condition is satisfied, for example, the ball B can be sent to the track 90 from the ball launching portion 91b. When the player presses a ball launch button (not shown), the ball launching portion 91b performs a ball launching operation and is launched in the direction of the arrow on the track 90 shown in FIG. At this time, the first slope portion 93b is rotated and stopped so that the lower end Tb1 is lifted, as shown by a one-dot chain line in the drawing, and the ball B that is launched interferes with the first slope portion 93b. Instead, it is sent to the track body 90a. After the ball B passes, the first slope portion 93b is rotated and pushed down so that the lower end Tb1 contacts the boundary portion between the track main body 90a and the first end portion 90b.

  The ball B delivered to the track main body 90a rolls up the second slope portion 93c and stops at a predetermined height by the momentum, and then rolls down the second slope portion 93c and again onto the track main body 90a. Returned. The ball B further rolls up the first slope section 93b and stops at a predetermined height, and then rolls down the first slope section 93b and returns to the track main body 90a again. The ball B stalls while repeating such reciprocation, and eventually stops at an appropriate position of the track body 90a. The stop position of the ball B is detected by the position sensor DD or the like, and the number of medals corresponding to the position is paid out from the jackpot payout unit 20b to the station 1 of the player.

  The ball B stopped on the track main body 90a rotates the loop member 92a of the ball collection mechanism 92 along the track 90, so that the protruding portion 92b comes into contact with the ball B and is pushed toward the first end 90b side. Thus, the ball is returned to the initial position 91b. If the loop member 92a is in contact with the ball B, the protrusion 92b may not be provided. The ball recovery mechanism 92 is provided to extend to the track main body 90a side of the first end 90b and the second end 90c, and the first end 90b and the second end 90c are provided to the track main body. 90a is inclined to the ball launching portions 91b and 91c, so that the ball B carried by the ball collection mechanism 92 is moved from the end of the first end 90b or the second end 90c. It rolls and stops until it comes into contact with the ball launching portion 91b or 91c. These series of operations are the same when the ball B is launched from the second end 91c.

  The jackpot payout unit 20b is provided with the same function at substantially the same position as the jackpot payout unit 20a. In this pusher game device 200, the jackpot payout unit 20b is paid out from the jackpot payout unit 20b. A payout guide 20c is additionally provided for guiding medals below the V zone game unit 2 of each station 1.

  9 is a front view (partially omitted) showing a main part of the track 90 (a part of the track body 90a), and FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. The track main body 90a has a pair of corrugated members 95 (members corrugated in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction) that the ball B contacts and rolls. As a result, the ball B delivered to the track main body 90a rolls up and down so as to wave on the corrugated member 95, and reliably stops at one of the valley bottom portions 95t.

  Further, the plurality of position sensors DD are connected in series so that the center portion thereof coincides with the valley bottom portion 95t of the corrugated member 95, that is, at a position corresponding to the valley bottom portion 95t. Further, the position sensor DD has the same shape as the above-described position sensor D, and is installed on one side of the pair of corrugated members 95 while being pivotally supported at the center in the width direction. Accordingly, when one arm of the position sensor DD is positioned at the lower end of the ball B and the ball B comes into contact with the position sensor DD, the position sensor DD is inclined so that the one arm is pushed down. The stop position of the ball B on the track 90 is detected by detecting the tilt state with a contact type (mechanical type) or an optical type detection mechanism such as the optical sensor Dc described above.

  Also in the pusher game apparatus 200 configured as described above, the position sensor DD functions in the same manner as the position sensor D, and thus the same operational effects as those described above for the pusher game apparatus 100 are obtained. In addition, in order to avoid duplicative description, detailed description here is abbreviate | omitted.

  Further, since the drive 90 extends in one direction and does not have a bent portion, a more compact configuration can be achieved. Furthermore, although it is compact, the movement distance and movement space of the ball B can be sufficiently secured by combining the track body 90a with the first slope section 93b and the second slope section 93c. A high lottery game is possible. Furthermore, since the corrugated member 95 is provided and the ball B moves so as to wave, when the ball B decelerates and reaches the summit portion 95y, it is difficult to predict which side of the ball B rolls. It is possible to improve the preference (such as gambling). Furthermore, since the ball B is reliably stopped at the valley bottom portion 95t and the position sensor DD is provided corresponding to the valley bottom portion 95t, the stop position of the ball B can be detected more reliably.

  In addition, as above-mentioned, this invention is not limited to said each embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible in the limit which does not change the summary. For example, the position sensor D is not limited to an optical detection mechanism in which the optical sensor Dc detects a position shift of the hanging plate Dd. For example, the position sensor D may be an optical type or a distance measuring method by laser irradiation of the ball B. Alternatively, a weight type detection mechanism that detects a weight of the ball B by connecting a plurality of load cells at a position in contact with the ball B may be used. The same applies to the position sensor DD. Further, the guide rail portion 50 is not limited to the illustrated track, and for example, a plurality of rows of tracks may be formed for each station 1 instead of one row.

  Furthermore, the ball launching part 51 may be installed above the guide rail part 50. In this case, the ball B may be led out to the guide rail part 50 by its own weight. Furthermore, the horizontal portion of the guide rail portion 50 does not have to be completely straight. For example, a concave portion or a convex portion is provided at an appropriate position so as to change the movement of the ball B. It may be provided. Furthermore, the standard of the launch strength displayed on the ball firing button 13 and the display unit 23 may be omitted. Alternatively, the ball B may be randomly shot with a random delivery strength. In this case, the player may instruct the ball B to be fired, or the ball B is fired regardless of the player's intention. It doesn't matter if you do.

  In addition, instead of the pair of corrugating members 95, one corrugated flat plate on the corrugated plate may be provided, that is, the track 90 or the track main body 90a may be constituted by a single plate, and in this case, the position sensor DD. Instead of this, it is useful to use a sensor that can detect the stop position of the ball B from the side surface direction. Further, the first slope portion 93b and the second slope portion 93c do not rotate around the fulcrums Fb and Fc, respectively, but interfere with the ball B when the ball B is launched, for example, by moving the whole up and down. You may avoid it.

  As described above, the pusher game device according to the present invention simplifies the device configuration for the lottery game and can reduce the number of parts and the installation space, thereby improving the reliability of the device. The pusher game machine can be widely used in home games as a game program that simulates (simulates) such a pusher game device with video.
