An object is to provide a game machine.

[Means for Solving Problems] A ball game machine according to the present invention (for example, a pachinko game machine)
In order to solve the above problems, the movable member (53, 53) under a predetermined game condition (for example, winning at a specific winning opening).
The winning space (53) is converted into a state in which the game balls can easily temporarily flow in from the surrounding game area (2) (a state in which the movable members 53, 53 of the variable winning device 5 are opened once or twice) ( For example, it has a winning area 55), and in the winning space, a general winning area (for example, a general winning opening 74) and a special game state (for example, movable members 53, 53 of the variable winning device 5 are cycled a plurality of times). Special winning area (for example, a special winning opening 73) for generating a special opening area and a winning introducing opening (57a) leading to the general winning area and the special winning area.
And a rotation selection member (65) for selecting and winning the game balls that have flowed in from the winning introduction opening into the general winning area and the special winning area by the driving force of the driving means (for example, the motor 66). Variable winning device (5)
A ball-and-ball game machine equipped with a control device for controlling the rotation selection member to rotate intermittently.

[Operation] When the game balls flowing into the prize space reach the prize introduction port, the game balls are separated into the general prize region and the special prize region by the rotation selection member, so that many game balls are guided to the prize introduction port. It is possible to increase the expectation of winning a prize at the special winning opening, and moreover, the probability of winning at the special winning opening can be set easily so as to maintain a profit balance between the game shop and the player. In addition, since the rotation selection member makes a speed change motion such as intermittent rotation, it is possible to further increase the sense of expectation and anxiety for the player, thereby further enhancing the enjoyment of the game. In particular, it is recommended that a general prize guide section and a special prize guide section be provided in the rotary selection member, and that the special prize guide section be provided with intermittent rotation that temporarily stops at the position where the special prize guide section meets the prize introduction port. For example, it is possible to give the player more expectation of winning the prize at the special winning opening. In addition, the winning probability of the game ball to the special winning area can be easily changed by changing the configuration and the rotating state of the rotation selection member.

That is, the game ball that has won the special winning area 73 is detected by the special winning detector SW _{3 and then} detected again by the count detector 76. The game ball detected by this count detector 76 is
The winning ball processing device (not shown) provided on the back surface of the game board 1 is guided and separated one by one, and the prize ball discharging device (not shown) is operated by the number of winning balls.

By the way, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, an operating lever 105 is fixed to the rear end of the rotary shafts 54, 54 of the movable members 53, 53, and a pin 105a at the tip of the operating lever is connected to the solenoid 10.
Slot 1 of actuating member 102 attached to actuating rod 101 of 0
The movable members 53, 53 are rotated by being engaged with 02a and moving the operating rod 101 up and down.

The solenoid 100 is fixed to the back surface of the base frame 50 by the second operating member mounting plate 120. Also, the operating rod 101
The actuating member 102 is descended by a coil spring 106 fitted onto the actuating rod 101 and a return spring 107 stretched between the actuating member 102 and the spring hook 103 (provided on the base frame 50). A returning force is applied to the base frame 50, and the lowermost position is regulated by a stopper 108 provided on the base frame 50.

On the other hand, the movable members 53, 53 have their rotational angles adjusted by restricting the highest position of the actuating members 102, 102 by a lock member 110 arranged in the vicinity thereof.

The lock member 110 is rotated via a pin 111 to bearing portions 122, 122 protruding from both side edges of an opening window 121 formed in a second actuating member mounting plate 120 shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. It is movably attached. An operating pin 112 is provided on the lock member 110 in a protruding manner, and the operating pin 112 is installed on the right side of the back of the first operating member attachment plate 130 (see FIGS. 4 and 8) attached to the back of the base frame 50. Solenoid 14
0 is inserted into the long hole 142a of the engaging member 142 fixed to the lower end of the operation rod 141 (see FIGS. 4 and 5), and the operation is performed in response to the solenoid 140 being excited. The rising positions of the members 102, 102 are limited, so that the rotation angle of the movable member 53 is adjusted.

That is, in the normal state, the solenoid 140 is in a non-excited state, the solenoids 100, 100 are stopped, the operating members 102, 102 are lowered, and the movable members 53, 53 are held in a substantially vertical state, so that the variable winning is achieved. The winning space 55 inside the device 5 is closed.

Then, when the game ball wins the specific winning opening 7a, 7a, or when a special profit is generated by winning the special winning area 73, the solenoid 100, 100 is controlled by the control device (not shown).
Is operated and the movable members 53, 53 are respectively rotated a predetermined number of times.

In that case, when the solenoid 140 is in the non-excited state, that is, the lock member 110 is returned to rotate and the lock piece 113 is released.
However, when it is in the inclined state as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 7, the operating member 102 rises without being obstructed by the lock member 110 as shown by the chain double-dashed line. As a result, the movable members 53, 53 rotate to the left and right by about 90 °, allowing the game balls to flow into the winning space 55 and the auxiliary winning openings 51a, 51a.

On the other hand, when the solenoid 140 is excited, the lock member 110 is rotated to bring the lock piece 113 into a substantially horizontal state as shown by the solid line in FIG. Then, the actuating member 102 hits the lock piece 113 and its raised position is limited to a constant height, whereby the turning angle of the movable members 53, 53 to both sides is limited to about 45 °. At this time, since the movable members 53, 53 are located in front of the auxiliary winning openings 51a, 51a so as to close them, the inflow of the game balls into the auxiliary winning openings 51a is prevented, and only the winning space 55 can flow. Becomes

In addition, a movable display member 90 (see FIG. 4) imitating a worker who works with a rock crusher is installed at the center of the inside of the prize space 55 inside the variable winning device 5. The movable display member 90 includes a body 91 in the shape of a person and a rotary shaft with respect to the body 91.
Left and right arm members 92, 9 rotatably attached via 93
2, a support rod 94 mounted between these arm members 92 and 92, and a display lamp 95a supported on the support rod 94 at the front.
Indicator 95 simulating a rock crusher having an operating lever 9 that is fixed to the rotating shaft 93 and transmits rotational force to the arm members 92, 92.
It consists of 6 and. The operating lever 96 is protruded rearward more than the main body 91, and its protruding end is the rear wall 50 of the base frame 50.
It penetrates through the opening 50d formed in c and faces the opening 131 at the center of the first actuating member mounting plate 130.

Then, the main body 91 forms the winning space 55 and the rear wall 50 of the base frame 50.
An operating pin 97 fixed to a substantially central position of c and projecting from an operating lever 96 is provided integrally with an operating rod 151 of a solenoid 150 mounted on the right rear side of the first operating member mounting plate 130. It is arranged so as to be located below the engagement protrusion 152a of the 152. As a result, when the solenoid 150 is excited and the operating member 152 is lowered, the operating lever 96
The arm member 92 is rotated via the and the display 95 is raised. On the other hand, when the drive of the solenoid 150 is stopped and the tension spring 98 causes the actuating lever 96 to return upward by rotation,
The display 95 is lowered accordingly. The above operation is repeated by periodically driving the solenoid 150 by a control device (not shown).

The movable display member 90, for example, when the movable member 53 is opened and closed 10 times when a special profit state occurs, or when five game balls are won in the winning space 55, the game ball to the special winning area 73 is displayed. In order to warn that the user will soon lose the right to continue the special profit state, the above operation can be performed.

Further, the display lamp 95a is turned on by a control circuit (not shown) when a game ball is won in the special winning area 73, and is used to notify the occurrence of a special profit state.

Next, the operation timing of the variable winning device 5 configured as described above will be described in different cases with reference to the timing charts of FIGS. 10 to 14.

First, FIG. 10 shows the timing when there is no prize in the special prize area 73 after the game ball has won the specific prize hole 7a or 7b.

At this time, the switch SW ₁ or SW ₂ is turned on (ON) by the winning of the game ball to the specific winning opening 7a or 7b, and the movable members 53, 53 are opened and closed twice by the control device (not shown). After that, for example, receiving a reset signal output from a counter that counts the number of times of rotation, the winning space 55 is stopped in a closed state.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the solenoid 100 is operated and the lock member 110 is operated during the period from the start to the end of the first opening / closing operation of the movable member 53 upon detecting the winning of the specific winning opening 7a or 7b. Is rotated to an angle at which the lock piece 113 becomes horizontal. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the lock piece 113 limits the rising position of the operating member 102 to a predetermined height. Therefore, the first opening / closing of the movable members 53, 53 is performed within a range of about 45 °. Therefore, at this time, it is possible to win the game balls into the prize space 55, but it is impossible to win the auxiliary winning openings 51a, 51a.

On the other hand, at the start of the second rotation of the rotating members 53, 53 due to the winning in the specific winning openings 7a, 7b, the driving of the solenoid 140 is stopped to return the lock member 110 to the rotation, so that the lock member 110 is rotated. As a result, the movement member 102 is not restricted from rising. Therefore, as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 7, the movable members 53, 53 open and close within a range of about 90 °. Therefore, at this time, the game balls that have reached the movable members 53, 53 can flow into both the winning space 55 and the auxiliary winning port 51a.

In addition, the effective period Ta of the detection signal of the special prize detector (SW ₃ )
Is within a certain period of time from the start of the first opening / closing operation of the movable member 53 to the end of the second opening / closing operation. As a result, it is possible to prevent the special game from being started by a prize in the special prize region 73 (for example, by a staff member of a game shop) even though there is no prize in the specific winning openings 7a, 7b.

Further, the display lamp 95a of the movable display member 90 is the movable member 53,53.
The light is turned on twice for each opening / closing operation.

FIG. 11 shows the operation timing when a game ball wins the special winning area 73 within the valid period Ta after winning the specific winning opening 7a or 7b.

At this time, after the special prize detector (SW ₃ ) detects that the special prize area 73 is won, a special game mode (special profit state) from the time when a fixed preparation period (for example, 1.6 seconds) has elapsed Then, the movable members 53, 530) start the opening / closing operation 18 times per cycle, for example.

Then, within the period of one cycle (opening / closing operation of 18 times), it is detected by the count detector SW ₄ that 10 game balls have won in the prize space 55 without any prize in the special prize area. Then, the opening / closing operation of the movable members 53, 53 is finished at that time, and the closed state is restored.

By terminating the effective period Ta at the time when the switch SW ₃ detects the cycle, it is possible to prevent the cycle from being immediately updated due to the continuous winning of the special winning area 73.

In addition, when there is a prize in the special prize area 73 during the opening / closing operation associated with winning the specific prize opening 7a, 7b and the special game is started, the segment type display 61 for displaying the number of continuations is displayed. “1” indicating that it is the first cycle is displayed.

Further, in the special game mode, the blinking cycle of the display lamp 95a of the movable display member 90 is lengthened to make it distinct from the time of opening / closing due to the winning of a specific winning opening.

Further, FIG. 12 shows the operation timing when the game ball wins in the specific winning opening 7a or 7b and the movable members 53, 53 are opened and closed twice, when the special winning area 73 is won. Indicates.

In this case, for example, during the second opening / closing operation of the movable members 53, 53, if the game ball wins in the special winning area 73 and this is detected by the special winning detector (SW ₃ ), a reset signal is immediately issued. Then, based on this, the opening / closing operation of the movable members 53, 53 is stopped midway and is in a closed state. Then, after a fixed preparation period (1.6 seconds) has elapsed, a special game mode is started.

In FIG. 12, the latter half of the operation timing chart during the special game mode is omitted, but as will be described later in detail, the lock member 110 is appropriately operated during the latter half of the special game mode. (Fig. 13), the movable members 53, 53 are opened and closed halfway (45 °).
It is controlled by.

Others are the same as those in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, and thus redundant description will be omitted.

FIG. 13 shows that the special winning area 73 is won and a special game mode is started, but there is no winning in the special winning area 73 during the opening / closing operation of 18 times, that is, the continuation condition is not satisfied. The operation timing of is shown.

In this case, the movable members 53, 53 are opened and closed 18 times, and then reset by the timer (counter), at which point the special game mode ends. At the same time, the display on the segment type display 61 is cleared to "0".

In addition, the game ball that has won the prize space 55 during this special game mode is detected by the count detector 76 (SW ₄ ). The detected number is displayed on the display 52a composed of five lamps. As described above, as described above, for example, in the case of winning up to 5 prizes, the display lamps 52a are lit up one by one from the end, and in the case of winning 6 to 10, 5 of the prizes are displayed. There is a method of temporarily turning off all of the display lamps 52a and then blinking one by one from the end for the number of winning five or more prizes.

On the other hand, during the special game mode, the movable display member 90 inside the variable winning device 5 drives the solenoid 150 from the time when the number of winnings in the winning space 55 reaches the fifth to the end of the cycle. Is activated.

At the same time, the rotation selection member 65, which is normally rotated at a constant speed, displays the indication of the display lamp 52a, for example, "5.
From the time of reaching the "number", based on the position detection signal from the position detection sensor 69, each special winning guide hole 65b is set to the winning introduction port 5
When it comes to a position facing 7a, intermittent rotation is performed such that it stops for 0.8 seconds, for example. This will give you a lot of chances for special prizes.

Others are the same as those described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12, and thus redundant description will be omitted.

Further, FIG. 14 shows an operation timing when the special winning area 73 is won again during each cycle of the special game mode generated by the winning of the special winning area 73.

In FIG. 14, for example, the timing when the game ball wins the special winning area 73 again during the twelfth opening / closing operation of the movable members 53, 53 in the first cycle is shown. When the ball is detected by the special winning award detector SW ₃ , a reset signal is issued, and based on that, the opening / closing operation of the movable members 53, 53 is temporarily stopped, and a fixed preparation time (weight of 1.6 seconds) After the lapse of (time), the opening / closing operation is started again.

Then, the continuous display of the segment type display 61, when the special winning ball is detected by the special prize detector SW ₃ ,
Change to "2".

Further, as shown in this operation timing chart, the number of winning balls in the variable winning device 5 is relatively small, and the display lamp 52a
When the opening and closing of the movable members 53, 53 reaches the 10th time before the count display of "5" is "5", the operation of the movable display member 90 is started at that time. That is, the movable display member 90 is activated when the number of winning prizes to the variable winning device reaches 5, the number of times of opening and closing reaches 10, or whichever comes first. Moreover, the special prize area
The last operation time of the movable display member 90 is made long in order to visually display that the prize has been won again.

Similarly, when the movable members 53, 53 are opened and closed 10 times before the count display of the display lamp 52a becomes "5", the intermittent rotation operation of the rotation selection member 65 is started. Then, the intermittent rotation operation and the operation of the movable display member 90 are finished at the time when the winning in the special winning area 73 is detected, and thereafter the rotation selection member 65 is returned to the constant speed rotation state.

It should be noted that during the preparation period (wait time) for shifting to the next cycle in the special game mode, the detection signal from the special prize detector (SW ₃ ) is ignored.
As a result, a situation in which the number of continuations is updated without the opening / closing operation of the movable members 53, 53 being performed even once is avoided, and the profit for the player is secured.

Others are the same as those described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 13, and thus redundant description will be omitted.

The timing control of the operation shown in FIGS. 10 to 14 is performed by a microcomputer, electronic circuit, or other control device not shown.

Lower end portion (front end) of the falling bottom plate 57 that constitutes the winning space 55 of
The inside is provided with a prize-winning entrance 57a having a general prize-winning area 74 and a special prize-winning area 73. Behind the prize-winning entrance 57a, the above-mentioned general prize-winning area 74 is provided while rotating a game ball contained therein.
Since the rotation selection member 65 for selecting and winning the special prize area 73 is installed, the adjustment of the winning probability of the game ball to the special prize area 73 is configured by the rotation selection member 65, that is, the general prize guide shelf 65a. It can be easily performed by changing the ratio between the special winning guide hole 65b and the special winning guide hole 65b and the rotating state (stop time during intermittent operation).

In addition, the general winning openings 58 are provided on both sides of the winning entrance 57a, and the game balls that have entered the winning entrance 57a are again sorted into the general winning area 74 and the special winning area 73 by the rotation sorting member 65. Therefore, it is possible to increase the expectation for the special prize by forming the variable prize device inside so as to guide a lot of game balls to the prize introduction port 57a, and the probability of the special prize is the profit of the player and the game shop. Can be set so that

Furthermore, auxiliary winning openings 51a are provided on both sides of the variable winning device 5 for facilitating winning of a prize when the movable members 53, 53 are fully opened, and even if the winning space 55 cannot be won while the movable members 53, 53 are opened and closed. , When the game ball wins the auxiliary winning port 51a, it is discharged above the tulip type winning device 4, so that the game modes are rich and even if no special game mode occurs, depending on the player. Many chances of winning are given, and interest in pachinko games is increased.

[Effects of the Invention] In the ball game machine according to the present invention, the prize is converted into a state in which the game ball is temporarily easily flowed from the surrounding game area by the movable member under the predetermined game condition as described above. There is a space, in the winning space, a general winning area, a special winning area for generating a special gaming state, a winning introduction port leading to these general winning area and the special winning area, and the driving force by the driving means. , A ball game machine provided with a variable winning device provided with a rotation selection member for selecting and winning a game ball flowing in from the prize introduction port into the general prize region and the special prize region, When the game ball that has flowed into the winning space reaches the winning introduction port, the game ball that rotates into the winning space is rotated and selected by the control device that controls the intermittent rotation of the sorting member. Depending on the material, it can be divided into the general prize area and the special prize area, so you can increase the expectation of winning the special prize hole by guiding many game balls to the prize introduction hole, and the probability of winning the special prize hole Can be easily set so that the profit balance between the game store and the player can be maintained. In addition, since the rotation selection member makes a variable speed movement such as intermittent rotation, the player can be more excited and anxious to further enhance the enjoyment of the game. In particular, it is recommended that a general prize guide section and a special prize guide section be provided in the rotary selection member, and that the special prize guide section be provided with intermittent rotation that temporarily stops at the position where the special prize guide section meets the prize introduction port. If
It is possible to give the player more expectation of winning the prize at the special winning opening. In addition, the winning probability of the game ball to the special winning area can be easily changed by changing the configuration and the rotating state of the rotation selection member.
