CONSTITUTION:By a control means, a storage pending control to the time of detecting signal inputs from prize winning detecting means H1 and H2, the mobile control of a prize winning processing unit D and the display control of a prize winning display means 50 based on the storage pending control, the stop control of the prize winning processing unit D to the time of the detecting signal inputs from the prize winning detecting means H1 and H2, the opening control of a prize discharge switching means I to the time of an operating signal input from a manual operating means and the closing control of the means I at the time of a setting after the time of the manual operating signal input are executed. As a result, since the prize ball can be appropriated for the game ball by always discharging the prize ball to a first ball tray 6 side, the player does not need the re-filling of the balls at all, and he can devote himself to the game by exclusively using the game balls in the first ball tray.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention involves playing a game using pachinko balls (also referred to as game balls), and winning TJ prizes in units of a specified number when winning a prize. Pachinko balls for prizes (also called prize balls)
This relates to a pachinko-type game machine that is ejected into a ball tray on the front of the machine.

[Technical background]

In a pachinko machine, which is one of the representative examples of this type of gaming machine, as is well known, based on the cooperation of a firing device and a ball feeding device, the game balls in the construction tray are moved one by one to the base end of the firing rail inside the machine. The game ball (out ball) that enters the out port after that is sent into the game board and is ejected from the out route of the mechanism board, while the game ball that enters any winning section (safe ball) is sent to the mechanism board. The prize balls are processed and discharged one by one by the prize processing device of the board, and the prize ball feeding device of the mechanism board is operated once each time according to each processing operation of the device, and a prescribed number of prize balls are delivered. The above-mentioned prize balls are preferentially passed from the discharge end of the prize ball discharge path formed on the mechanism panel to the first discharge path, after which they are discharged to the upper ball tray side, and then from the method tray to the first discharge path. After the prize balls are filled in the upper part of the ball, they leak into the second discharge path which is branched and communicated with the first discharge path from the middle of the discharge end, are discharged into the method tray, and are sequentially stored.

[Prior art and its problems]

In conventional pachinko machines, as described above, it is not possible to control the discharge of prize balls fed from the prize ball feeding device to the method tray side and always preferentially control discharge to the upper ball tray.

For this reason, even if a considerable amount of prize balls are filled from the method tray to the second discharge channel, as the game continues, the number of prize balls in the first discharge channel decreases as the game balls in the method tray are used. When a player who is concentrating on the game realizes that the remaining amount in the method tray will become the playing portion and will be used up within a relatively short period of time. The storage bulb inside must be replaced into the construction method tray.

The above-mentioned replacement of the balls must be done by the player himself, and while the game is continuing, normally he would use the opposite side of the game operation, that is, his left hand, to directly pick up the balls stored in the method tray and put them into the method tray. This change of balls makes you feel very busy and makes it difficult to concentrate on the game. In particular, during a game, there are "special gaming conditions" that are advantageous to the player, such as a "jackpot state" or "continuous opening state", in which many of the game balls hit on the game surface are easily controlled within a predetermined period of time. When a player is in a situation where he or she can win a prize, the player may have to replace the ball while being distracted by the game conditions, and at that time, the player may fail to grasp the ball and the ball may fall. If you put it away or get distracted by catching the ball,
Players may neglect the special gaming conditions.

Furthermore, in conventional pachinko machines, the game is temporarily interrupted every time the prize ball discharge path is filled with a suitable amount of the prize balls fed out as described above.

In other words, as is generally referred to as the prize ball fullness detection means, there is a sensing member that directly senses the pressure of the prize ball group at a predetermined portion within the second discharge path and can vary when the pressure of the prize ball group is changed; A detection switch is installed that is activated when the sense changes and detects the full state of the prize balls, and regardless of the wishes of the player who is concentrating on the game, if the prize balls become full, a detection signal from the switch will be sent. Based on this, the firing device is once controlled to stop and the game ball is brought to a stop state. In such a state, when the filled prize balls in the second discharge path are discharged from the method tray by a ball removal operation on the method tray side, the prize ball fullness detection means is returned to the pre-detection state again. In connection with this,
The launcher is deactivated and returned to its original movable state,
Although the game is restarted and continued by firing the game balls, the game interruption state described above will not be canceled unless the prize balls are ejected from the method tray.

For this reason, the above-mentioned "special gaming conditions" are applied to gaming machines.
Even if this occurs, if the firing device is stopped and the game is interrupted due to the above-mentioned prize ball full detection operation during the game, even if the prize ball is ejected from the method tray,
During this time, the game ball cannot be hit, so it is a very difficult time for players.
Players are no longer able to fully receive the special gaming conditions, which not only leaves them deeply dissatisfied, but also causes problems between both the game parlor and the players.

[Purpose of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to exclusively discharge the prize balls that are dispensed when a prize is won to the first ball tray and use them as game balls at all times, and when the prize balls are filled in the prize ball discharging path, the subsequent balls are While the prize ball dispensing operation is temporarily stopped and the game is still able to continue, the conditions for winning a prize are displayed 11, while the full prize balls and the prize balls that meet the winning conditions for the memory reservation are transferred to the second ball tray. To provide a pachinko-type game machine which can be discharged to the side, and when the prize balls in the discharge path are no longer full, restarts the prize ball feeding operation and discharges the prize balls into a first ball tray, during the game. Eliminates the trouble of replacing the balls stored in the second ball tray with the first ball tray, and also eliminates the interruption of the game every time the prize balls are filled, eliminating troubles caused by this. It's about doing.

[Technology for solving problems]

[Effect]

In the pachinko game machine of the present invention, the game balls in the first ball tray are sent out to the game surface based on the cooperation of the firing device and the ball feeding device, and winnings generated on the game surface are detected and stored. Based on each control signal related to this memory, the winning status is always displayed on the winning display means, while the winning processing device
The prize ball dispensing device dispenses and re-accommodates a prescribed number of prize balls according to the processing operation for each round, and the delivered prize balls are processed under the conditions before the operation of the prize discharge switching means. By holding the second discharge path of the second discharge path in the closed position, the second discharge path is exclusively discharged from the discharge end toward the first discharge path and the first spherical tray.

After this, when the prize balls fill up to a predetermined part in the main discharge path, the above-mentioned prize entry processing operation and prize ball feeding operation are temporarily stopped based on the detection signal from the prize ball detection means, and the game continues. While the winning conditions are stored and displayed while being allowed to continue, the manual operation means is made substantially operable and the prize ball ejection switching means is switched and held in the open state in response to a signal at the time of the operation. Then, while a considerable amount of prize balls in the first discharge path are reserved as game balls, the full prize balls in the main discharge path can be discharged from the second discharge path to the second ball tray side. When the prize ball detection means is returned to its original pre-detection state as the number of prize balls in the main discharge path decreases, the prize entry processing device and prize ball feeding device are returned to their original movable state and stored. Restarts the processing operation and prize ball dispensing operation for the Oga fulfillment condition including the reserved portion, and discharges all the prize balls to be dispensed to the first ball tray side, and then stores them in the main discharge channel from the first discharge path.

In the winning processing device which is held in the open position (see FIG. 12(b)) and is activated immediately after the device G, when the electromagnetic operating tool 35 is energized and excited, its rotation Due to the rotation of the panel 36 and the tilting of the interlocking lever 38, the lock lever 39
'MI?' is activated via pin 40. 1 lever 41 is released, the control lever 41 is then activated via the pin 42, and from then on the long lever 3 is activated according to the tilting of the interlocking lever 38.
As the control lever 41 is pushed to a predetermined position at step 9, the operating lever 66 on the prize ball feeding device F side is moved via the connecting rod 67.
is operated (see FIG. 12(b)).

As a result, in the prize ball supply bag rIIF, the operation lever 6
6 above (according to the Il change, the control n tool 63 is raised, and its engagement piece 64 momentarily releases the 11i control valve 54, and its regulating piece 65 momentarily releases the second control well 58. 1 valve 54 instantly closes the ball case 51 with its own balance.
The second valve 58 is in a free state while the second valve 58 is tilted to the closed position to prevent the prize balls from passing through the sending gutter 46. All prize balls in this result method case 51 (13 balls)
However, with the ball pressure, the second valve 58 is pushed open to the right in the figure, and the corresponding outlet 52 is opened while both opening/closing pieces 60 are retracted out of the road.
b and is discharged to the discharge channel 25 of the prize ball discharge path 24 (see FIG. 12(b)), and the second valve 5
8 is returned to its original closed position with its own balance in synchronization with the end of feeding the prize ball.

And the above-mentioned award processing! In the J position, the lock and control levers 39 and 41 are released and returned to their original positions as the electromagnetic operating tool 35 is demagnetized and the rotary plate 36 moves back. On the other hand, in the prize ball feeding device F, the control device 63 is lowered to its original position as the operating lever 66 returns to its original position, and its regulating piece 65 restricts the second control valve 58 to the closed position. The coupling piece 64 restrains the imm valve 54 in its original open/close position. As a result, the prize balls from the sending gutter 46 pass through both storage channels 52 and are stored and held again in units of a prescribed number for the next time. Then, in synchronization with the return movement of the prize processing device, in the prize ball number changing device G, as the electromagnetic operation tool 69 is demagnetized and the rotary plate 70 returns, the regulation valve 72 is returned to its original position. The opening/closing piece 74 is held at the original closed position in which it enters the middle position in both accommodation channels 52 of the ball case 51 (see FIG. 12(a)).

On the other hand, the specified safe ball S that entered the second player prize tool 13 on the game board C
To explain the case t, the ball passes through the passage 19 on the board side, passes through the collection passage 20, passes through the discharge passage 23, and is discharged out of the machine. In this safe ball delivery process, the second detection switch 49 is turned on to detect when the same ball encounters the ball.
Then, the detection signal is sent to another control means side as a start signal for the variable symbol display device 14, and is also input to the input section 121 of the control means N and stored in the winning memory storage section 12.
2 is temporarily stored in the identification storage section 2, and then stored in the comparison priority section 1.
23 and output from the output holding section 126 to the output driving section 12.
Based on the prize-winning control output sent out every fixed time unit via 9, the prize ball number changing device G is operated at a set timing next to the prize processing device 1.

In other words, in the pre-operation state of the changing device G shown in FIG. 12(a), the winning processing device is activated in advance, and in accordance with the energization and excitation of the electromagnetic operating tool 35, the rotary plate 36 rotates and interlocks. Lock lever 39 against tilting of lever 38
Next, the control lever 41 is pushed to a predetermined position and the operating lever 66 is operated via the connecting rod 67. As a result, in the prize ball feeding device F, the 1IllII tool 63 is raised in accordance with the upward change in the operating lever 66, and the first control valve 54 and then the second control well 58 are instantaneously released. 54 closes both ports 52a of the ball case 51 to stop the prize balls from the sending gutter 46, while the second valve 58 is set in a free state, and after this, the lower prize balls in the ball case 51 (7 in total) are released. ) pushes open the second valve 58 with its ball pressure and is discharged from the corresponding outlet 52b into the discharge end 25 of the prize ball discharge path 24 (see FIG. 13). The valve 58 is returned to its original closed position by its own balance in synchronization with the completion of feeding the prize ball.

In the above-mentioned prize processing device, the lock and control lever 3
9.41 is returned to its original position and held. On the other hand, in the prize ball feeding device F, as the operating lever 66 and the control tool 63 return, the second control well 58 is restrained to the closed position, and then the first control valve 54 is restrained to the original open position. Ru. Then, the prize ball feeding device G is once activated in synchronization with the return movement of the prize processing device 1, and its electromagnetic operating tool 6
According to the energization and excitation of 9, the regulating valve 72 is held at the open position via the rotary disk 70 and the connecting rod 71.

As a result, in the prize ball feeding device F, when the upper prize ball in the ball case 51 is released from the regulation valve 72, it falls into the lower stage of the accommodation path 52 and is stopped by the second control valve 58. ,
New prize balls from the sending gutter 46 pass through the population 52a and are stored and held in the storage channel 52 again in a specified number of units.

In accordance with this timing, in the prize ball number changing device G, the regulation valve 72 is returned to the original closed position and the opening/closing piece 7
4 to stop the upper prize balls in both accommodation channels 52 (see Fig. 12).
a)).

Thereafter, in the same manner as described above, a predetermined number of prize balls will be paid out for the normal winning condition, and a prescribed number of prize balls will be paid out for the specific wage winning condition. However, both the winning operation and the prize ball feeding operation are performed at set time units (for example, about 1 second) based on the control signal of the control means N, and when the winning memory of both parties is on hold, the normal winning operation is performed. The action for the conditions that hold is always given priority, and after the completion of such action, the action for the specific winning conditions is performed. In such an operation setting, in each storage section of the winning memory storage section 122 of the control means N, one piece is added to the human-powered special signal of each grand prize detection signal, while the number of winning balls is The control output related to the operation of the changing device G is subtracted by one special electric signal, and based on the addition and subtraction calculations of both, the winning situation during the game is accurately stored and held, and the output holding unit 127 and the output drive The winning conditions are always displayed on each display section 50A, 50B of the winning display device 50 via the section 129.

Now, as mentioned above, the prize balls fed from the prize ball feeding device F are ejected from the ejection end path 25 of the regular ejection path 24 to the first ejection path 26 with priority, and from then on each day as shown in FIG. 27. I
It is discharged to the method tray 6 via IA, 5 and stored for use as game balls. Based on the premise that the amount of stored prize balls to be dispensed is large compared to the decrease in the number of game balls in the method tray 6, which are continuously used one by one as the game continues, the prize balls are stored in the method tray 6. The opening/closing valve 92 of the prize ball discharge switching means I which is sequentially stored in the first discharge path 26 after it is full and is in the normal pre-operation state.
The waste is stored in the discharge end 25 without allowing anyone to pass through the second discharge passage 28 which is closed. Note that the filled balls in the end channel 25 can be discharged to the method tray 9 by a ball extraction operation in the method tray 6 (see FIG. 4).

Then, the prize ball in the discharge end 25 is placed in a predetermined position (see Fig. 16).
a) When the container is filled to the point indicated by the two-dot chain line 1), the first penetrating detection means 111 operates to detect the filling state. That is, in the above-mentioned prize ball full state, when the sensing lever 76 is pressed and changed by the prize ball group, the detection switch 79 is activated for detection (O
N) By manually inputting a detection signal to the input section 121 of the control means N, the means N thereafter sends this detection signal to the output holding section 126 and the manual operation control section 124. As a result, as the output from the holding section 126 is stopped, the prize input processing device and the prize ball number changing device G are temporarily stopped, and the prize ball feeding operation is stopped, while the operation signal of the manual operation means J can be manually operated. Accordingly, the prize ball ejection switching means (2) can be opened. By the way, is it lamp 11 at this point? Suppose that the button is lit to display to the player the fact that the prize balls are full and can be switched and ejected. Furthermore, the game can still be continued, and when a prize is won, the game is memorized and displayed as described above.

In the above-mentioned state where the prize balls are full, the game is played without the player performing any operation to remove the balls. ) In the case of IE, if a winning is established, the prize balls are not dispensed but are memorized and displayed as they are. On the other hand, if the number of stored prize balls in the discharge end 25 decreases due to the use of game balls in the upper ball tray 6, the first means 11
When the first sensing lever 76 is released from the prize ball and returns to its original position, the detection switch 79 enters the pre-detection state and the detection signal is erased. As a result, the lamp 117 is turned off and the signal sent from the control means N to the manual operation control section 124 is erased, making it impossible to input the operation signal from the manual operation means J, while the output from the output holding section 126 By canceling the stop, the prize processing device RI and the prize ball number changing device G are returned to their original movable state, and the prize memory storage section 12
It will be operated under the set conditions depending on the winning memory part in 2 and the winning control output related to the newly generated winning part, and the prize ball fed from the prize ball feeding device F is the first prize ball. They are ejected with priority to the ejection path 26 and replenished as game balls. Thereafter, in response to the detection by the first means I11 and the state change before detection, both devices are controlled to stop and move G.

By the way, if the condition for opening the large winning X device 15 is given by the "special gaming state" on the game board C side, that is, the symbol combination condition of the variable symbol display device 14 in FIG. Many of the game balls have 16 big winning holes.
Even if the first prize ball detection means H1 is in the pre-detection state, the prize ball full state is detected during the process of prize balls being fed from the prize ball feeding device F. When activated, the grand prize processing operation and the one ball feeding operation are stopped and the game can be continued, while the remaining normal winning conditions are stored and held as they are, and the winning display device 50
will be added to and displayed.

On the other hand, after the detection operation of the first ball penetration detection means H1, when the player wishes to eject the prize ball and operates the manual operation means J with the lighting of the lamp 117 as a guide, the control operation in the control finger N is activated. Accordingly, the prize ball ejection switching means I is automatically opened. That is, by operating the push button Ill, the detection switch 113 is activated for detection (ON) and inputs the detection signal to the input section 121 of the control means N shown in FIG. After the prize ball fullness detection signal from the means I11 is sent to the manual operation control section 124 to which it is input and controlled, the logic operation section 125 performs arithmetic processing, and as a result, the output holding section 128 transfers the signal to the output drive section. A control output for opening is sent to the prize ball ejection switching means 1 via 129.

As a result, in the switching means I, which is normally kept stationary in the pre-operation state shown in FIG.
After pulling the rod 99, the demagnetization is stopped and the rod 99 is connected to the spring 10.
At 0, the extension returns. Accordingly, the locking member 95 is once tilted in the releasing direction, and after its locking portion 96 is separated from the opening/closing valve 92, it is returned to its original locked position. As a result, as soon as the opening/closing valve 92 is unlocked, the second electromagnetic raking force 103 side is applied to each link 105, 108 and the crank lever 106 according to the return movement of the rotary plate 104.
The opening 28a of the second discharge passage 28 is tilted to the open position and held there. Note that after this state, both operating tools 98 and 103 are in a rest state.

As a result, as can be seen from FIG. 16(b) and FIG. and the passage 8, and are discharged into the method tray 9 and stored in sequence. Incidentally, the prize balls to be ejected are those up to the upper level of the first ejection path 26, but even if the inside of the main ball 25 becomes empty immediately after ejection, the prize balls will be ejected from the first ejection path 26 to the method tray 6. Since a considerable number of stored prize balls can still be used as game balls, one ball tray 6
The game can be continued by continuously using the game balls one by one for a considerable period of time.

As the prize ball is ejected from the above-mentioned ejection end path 25, the first ball penetration detection means 111 is returned to its pre-detection state, thereby erasing the detection signal. As a result, in the same manner as described above, in the control operation within the control means N, the lamp 117 is turned off, while both devices operate at the set timing based on the control output related to the winning memory reservation after the stop of G is released. It will be restarted.

The prize balls fed from the prize ball feeding device F are preferentially discharged to the first discharge path 26, and after the discharge path 26 is full, the on-off valve 92 of the prize ball discharge switching means I is activated. Since it is still held in the open position, it is discharged as an overflow from the entrance 28a of the second discharge passage 28 to the diagonal passage 28A and hanging passage 28B side, and further to the construction method pan 9 side (Fig. 16(a) reference.

Then, in the above-mentioned prize ball feeding state, when the winning storage holding condition on the control means N side is restored, the prize ball discharge switching means (2) is automatically returned to the closed state. That is, the first
In the control means N of FIG. 9, all the winning memory holding conditions in the winning winning memory holding unit 122 are used and the memory holding value becomes rOJ.
When the return signal is returned to , the return signal sent at that time is input to the logic operation section 125 and processed, and as a result, the output holding section 128 passes the prize ball ejection switching means via the output drive section 129. A closing control output for (2) is sent out. At this point, rOJ is displayed on each display section of the room entry indicator 5o.

As a result, in the switching means I, the second electromagnetic operating tool 103 that has received the above-mentioned control output is energized and excited, once rotates its rotary plate 104, and then demagnetized and paused. Accordingly, the on-off valve 92 in the open position is moved to each link 105, 108.
and is automatically returned via the crank lever 106, and the locking plate 93 is held in the closed position of the entrance 28a of the second discharge path 28 again with the locking portion 96 of the locking member 95 being held (16th (See figure (a)). Note that the on-off valve 92 is
Under the urging force of the second electromagnetic operating tool 103, it is normally pulled toward the open position. Therefore, after the closure of the means (■) is restored, the newly delivered prize balls will
It is discharged at 6.

As a result of the prize ball ejection switching means (1) being switched to the open state as described above, the prize balls ejected one by one are delivered to a predetermined portion (the 16th
When the ball is filled up to the point (see double-dot chain line L2 in FIG. 2(b)), the second prize ball detection means 112 operates to detect the full state. That is, in the above-mentioned prize ball full state, when the sensing lever 80 is pressed and changed by a group of prize balls, the detection switch 84 is activated (ON) to send a detection signal to the control means N to the input section 121.
, the means N sends this detection signal to the manual operation control section 124 to control the input of the operation signal from the manual operation means J, while the logic operation section 1
As a result, the output holding unit 128
from the prize ball ejection switching means (■) via the output drive unit 129
A control output for closing is sent out. At this point, another lamp 118 is blinking to display to the player that "prize balls are full and cannot be switched and ejected." On the other hand, both devices G and G are still kept in a movable state so that prize balls can be dispensed, and the game can be continued, and is displayed when a winning is achieved.

As a result, in the switching means I, only the second electromagnetic operating tool 103 is energized and excited in response to the control output, so that the on-off valve 92 in the open position is moved to the rotary plate 1 as described above.
04, each link 105. t.

8 and crank lever 106, and is automatically returned to the closed position and held by a locking member 95. However, immediately after the prize ball ejection switching means I is closed and restored based on the return signal of the Oga memory holding condition rOJ value mentioned above, the second means 1
12 is detected and activated, even if the second electromagnetic operating tool 103 is energized in response to the above-mentioned control signal, the on-off valve 92 is already held in the closed position by the lock member 95. It will not be released.

Therefore, after the detection operation of the second prize ball detection means H1, the prize ball discharge switching means
Since it is impossible to open mm by operating the button, if the player uses the flashing of the lamp 118 as a guide to discharge the stored prize balls within 2 days from the second discharge channel by removing the balls using the method tray 9, When the sensing lever 80 of the second means H2 is returned to its original position, the detection switch 83 enters the pre-detection state and the detection signal is erased. As a result, in the same manner as described above, in the control operation within the control means N, the lamp 118 is turned off, while the operation signal from the manual operation means J is enabled to be input, and the prize ball ejection switching means (■) is opened. After this is enabled, the winning processing operation and the prize ball feeding operation are performed every time a prize is won as described above, and the prize balls are constantly discharged as game balls to the method tray 6, and the first prize ball detection means H1 detects the prize balls. After activation, the filled prize ball can be ejected by manual operation.

In the above-mentioned pachinko machine of this example, due to poor rectification of prize balls or a shortage of prize balls occurring in the rectification gutter 45 of the prize ball storage and delivery path E during reading w1 of the game,
When the detection switch 116 is activated (ON) in response to the detection operation of the sensing lever 115 of the flow detection means, the detection signal is inputted to the input section 121 of the control means N and output to the output holding section 116. Based on the output being stopped, both the prize processing device G and the prize ball number changing device G are suspended.

Then, when the cause of the rectification failure of the prize ball is resolved and the ball flow detection means K is returned to its original pre-detection state,
In both devices, G is released from the stop and returned to its original movable state.

In this way, in the pachinko machine of this example, when the prize balls dispensed for winning a prize are full, the dispensing of prize balls for subsequent winnings is temporarily stopped and the amount is recorded and reserved. , it is possible to avoid stopping the firing device A and interrupting the game accordingly. Moreover, regarding the normal and specific winning conditions, it is completely avoided that the memory becomes full in the control means N or becomes invalid after the memory is full, and the winning status is accurately displayed on the winning display device 50. As a result, players' misidentifications and troubles can be eliminated, and the players' trust can be gained.

Moreover, in the prize ball discharge control, when the second prize ball detection means 1!2 detects the full state of the prize balls discharged on the second day of the second discharge path communicating with the method tray 9, the prize ball discharge switching means By returning i to its original closed state, the second
This prevents the opening/closing valve 92 from being obstructed from its original opening/closing operation due to the filled balls in the FJP exit path 28.

[Example of change]

In the pachinko game machine that is the object of the present invention, it is also possible to adopt technical conditions different from those of the above-described embodiments. ball plate (
The condition for closing and returning the prize ball discharge switching means (■) which switches the discharge to the ball tray 9) shown in the figure may be an example of time setting using a timer, etc. On the other hand, when the second ball detection means (■2) is activated, The ball processing device and the prize ball number changing device G may both be stopped and held, and other means and devices may be changed and set as appropriate.The prize ball discharge control technology disclosed in the embodiment is It is of course possible to implement the present invention in a type of game machine other than the pachinko machine, for example, which dispenses a prescribed number of prize balls based on winning memory retention.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As can be understood from the explanation of the embodiments described above, in the pachinko game machine of the present invention, a game is played by sending the game balls in the first ball tray to the game surface section, and a win that occurs on the game surface section is detected and stored. Based on the hold, the winning status is displayed, and a specified number of prize balls are dispensed in accordance with the winning processing operation. Then, with the other of the prize ball discharge paths closed, prize balls are preferentially discharged from one discharge path into the first ball tray and used as game balls. Then, each time a full state of prize balls is detected in a predetermined part of the ejection path, the above-mentioned prize entry processing operation and prize ball dispensing operation are temporarily stopped and suspended, while the game can be continued and the winning conditions are stored. Hold and display. As the game continues, as the use of game balls in the first ball tray decreases, when the above-mentioned prize ball full detection state is cleared, the winning processing operation and prize ball dispensing operation for the grand prize memory reservation are restarted. A prize ball can be dispensed.

Therefore, according to the gaming machine of the present invention, the prize balls can always be ejected to the first ball tray and used for game balls, so the player does not need to refill the balls at all and can use the first balls exclusively. In addition to allowing you to concentrate on the game using the game balls in the tray, there is no need to stop the firing device every time the prize balls are full, eliminating interruptions in the game, so even if there is a "special game state" that occurs during the game. , the game ball discharge stop state is resolved in advance, and the game can be continued and enjoyed without spoiling the long-awaited "special game state."

In addition, on the premise that the fed prize balls are exclusively discharged to the method tray side as described above, it is possible to switch the discharge of the prize balls by the player when the prize balls are detected to be full, and the player can manually control the discharge of the prize balls from the front side of the gaming machine. By doing this, it is possible to open the other discharge path in the prize ball discharge path and discharge the full amount of deliciousness to the second ball tray, which is different from the first ball tray. You can enjoy a sense of satisfaction based on the amount of prize balls stored on the plate side.
