Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] As is well known, in a pinball game machine such as a pachinko machine such as a smart ball, a ball at a firing position 2 is fired along a rule 3 using an operation lever at a firing position. The ball can be fired toward the playing surface 4, and the playing surface 4 has an obstacle device 5 consisting of an obstacle nail or the like that changes the course of the ball falling along the surface. By providing 6..., the ball can fly into the safe socket □6, and the ball that cannot enter the safe socket 6 is finally sent to the out port 7 provided below the playing surface 4. It is designed to be captured by

According to the recently proposed pinball game machine, safe reception□6
The balls that enter the game board 4 pass through the safe passage 8 on the back side of the game board 4, and the balls captured at the out port 7 pass through the out passage 9 and are collected by the launch controllers 101 provided at the launch waiting positions. .

A storage device is arranged in the game machine, and as shown in FIG.
“It consists of a display section 204.

The control section 20 is supplied with a shot ball signal, a foul ball signal, and a prize number signal, and is also given a settlement instruction 208. A ticket reading signal 205 is given to the storage section 202, and a ticket recording signal 206 and a cancellation signal 207 are outputted. The display section 204 uses a digital display device such as a poppy, an optical display device, a discharge display device, or the like. One safe detection device 15 is provided in the above-mentioned safe passage 8.

This safe detection device 15 transmits a pulse every time it detects a safe ball supplied from each safe socket 6, and supplies the storage unit 202 with a prize number signal xo corresponding to a large number of balls to be provided to customers as prize balls. do. As a result, the display unit 204 displays the number obtained by adding the prize number signals by the operation of the arithmetic unit 203 described above. The shot ball detection device 16 detects the shot ball and transmits a pulse, and operates the storage section 202 and the calculation section 203 to subtract one scale from the display section 204.

The foul detection device 17 detects a ball returning from the game board 4 side and issues a foul ball signal to add one scale to the display on the display section 204 as shown in FIG.
2 can be set to any display value, and when it returns to zero, a stop signal 207 is issued to operate the stop device 18 and prevent the ball from being fired.

The stored information in the storage unit 202 is the number of times a player has made a ticket, and for example, by sucking a ticket issued at a game hall into the ticket reader issuing device 19, a ticket discount signal 205 is stored.
is converted and stored. A transmission display indicating the number of sets stored in the storage section 202 is written on the ticket, and the ticket reader issuer 19 of the game machine coughs the ticket to detect the transmission display and transmits a signal to set the number in the storage section 202. Consists of a combination of elements. Therefore, if the ticket issuer 19 is made to cough and a certain value is set in the memory unit 202, the memory unit 202 will perform calculations each time a batted ball is fired or each time the ball is transferred from the expected firing position to the firing position. By the operation of section 203, the number of memories is decreased by one, and each time the ball hits the safe receiver □6 and becomes safe, the number of memories is added to a certain number, and in this way, the customer continues to play the ball until the display section 204 shows a drop. You can play by moving it from the standby position to the firing position.

However, according to the above configuration, the safe detection device 15
operates on the ball that has landed in the safe receiver □ 6, emits a certain prize number signal xo (corresponding to the number of prize balls of 13 balls, for example), operates the memory section 202, and displays this prize on the display section 204. The number signal is added, but the magnitude of the prize number signal xo to be added is constant regardless of which safe socket 6 the ball enters, which has the disadvantage that it does not provide any interest to the player. .

Therefore, ``It is an object of the present invention to
The magnitude of the prize number signal is made different each time the player enters the game, so that the player can enjoy the game greatly.This will be explained in detail below using an example. First, the gist of the present invention is that, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, there is a passage 30 that guides the safe ball that has entered the safe receptacle □6 on the surface of the game board 4 to the safe passage 8. Detectors d and ~d4 are provided, and safe balls can be sequentially detected by these detection bands and ~d4.

Each detector d, ~q is connected in series with a switch S, ~S4, and a prize number signal generator X, ~X4, respectively, as shown in FIG. 5. For example, as shown in FIG. And the light projector! It may also consist of Prize number signal generator X, ~X
4 is the prize number signal x, which corresponds to the player's profit, respectively.
This signal is sent to the control section 20 as shown in Fig. 2.The switch S,
~S4 controls whether the operation of each detector d, ~d4 is enabled or disabled, and is arbitrarily turned on by the amusement arcade.
For example, switch S. ~ When only S4 is turned on, the safe ball is in the passage 30. When it passes through “detector d,
~q are all turned on, but of the prize number signal generators X, ~x4, only X and X4 operate. therefore,
The control unit 20 is supplied with prize number signals x, , x4 from prize number signal generators X, to X4. Here, for example, the prize number signal x from the prize number signal generator X corresponds to the number of prize balls of 3, and the prize number signal & from the prize number signal generator X2 corresponds to the number of prize balls of 4, The prize number signal x8 from the prize number signal generator X3 is the prize ball number 5.
, the prize number signal from the prize number signal generator X4 & is the prize ball number 10
``In the above example, if only the prize number signal generators X, , X4 operate and the prize number signal x, , is supplied to the control unit 20, This corresponds to sending a signal corresponding to the total number of prize balls of 1 needle to the control unit 20.

For example, if the switches S2 and S3 are turned on by the game parlor, the number of prize signals x2 and x3 are supplied to the control unit 20 when the ball hits the safe receiver □6. This corresponds to sending a signal corresponding to the number of prize balls.

Therefore, in the passage 30 of each safe socket 6, there is a detector d,
By providing ~q and arbitrarily selecting switches S and ~S4, it is possible to freely change the prize number signal when a batted ball flies in for each safe reception.

Therefore, it is possible to change the number of prizes to be added for each safe receipt. In FIG. 5, 40 is a display drive circuit, which controls a number display section 70 provided above the safe socket 6 as shown in FIG.

For example, when switches S and S4 are turned on, the prize number signal sent to the control unit 20 is equal to The circuit 40 causes the number display section 7 to display "13". Therefore, by looking at the display on the number display section 70, the player can know the profit amount of the safe bet □6.

In addition, in this embodiment, the signals x, ~ of the prize number signal generators X, ~ Although the explanation has been made assuming that the signals x and x4 include the same amount of information, the signals x and x4 may all include information of the same capacity.

In addition, the detectors d, to d7 and associated circuits are 4
The number is not limited to two, but may be further increased or decreased, or may be one.

As the number increases, the amount of change in the prize number signal supplied to the control unit 20 can be increased. Furthermore, the switches S and S4 may be automatically controlled remotely.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the magnitude of the profit brought to the player varies depending on the type of the safe socket 6 into which the batted ball enters, and it is possible to provide remarkable entertainment.

Since the magnitude of the winning profit can be controlled by appropriately turning on and off the switches S, to S4, it is convenient for the game parlor. In addition, a number display section is provided at the top of the safe receiver □6 to display the amount of profit the game store will receive when one safe ball lands, so the player can Various effects can be achieved, such as being able to play games based on this display.It should be noted that the present invention may also be applied to an enclosed ball type game machine that recycles the balls sealed inside the game machine, as in the above embodiment. Alternatively, it may be a general type of game machine that bounces a ball supplied by a player.
