3 to the front side to open the ball entrance 52.Next, the operation of the prize winning device 1 of the present invention will be explained. When a ball fired into a game part of a game board 2 of a pachinko machine wins in any of the specific winning holes 4, a solenoid 28 of a winning device 1 is momentarily excited by a signal from a detection switch (not shown). This excitation of the solenoid 28 causes the plunger 28a to project forward, compressing the air bag 27a of the pump 27 and causing the water inside to be jetted out from the nozzle portion 21. This causes the ball 14 to be launched upward along the guide rail 15. On the other hand, solenoid 28
As the coil spring 28b is demagnetized, the plunger 28a retreats, and the air bag 27a of the pump 27 returns to its original state. At the same time, the water 13 in the case part 11 flows from the nozzle part 21 through the water pipe 27b. It flows into the air bag 2Ta. In this way, each time the solenoid 28 is actuated, the pump 2
The air bag 27a of No. 7 is given an expanding and contracting motion and the ball 14 is fired at the same time as water is jetted.

Then, the fired ball 14 is placed in the winning areas 18a to 18.
When passing one of the detection switches 181a-1
It is detected at step 81c and the variable prize winning device 5 is changed to a state advantageous to the player. In this embodiment, for example, when the ball 14 passes through the winning area 18a, the solenoid 54 of the variable winning device 5 is energized for 20 seconds, and in the winning area 18b, the solenoid 54 is energized for 15 seconds.
The winning area 18c is energized for 5 seconds and the opening/closing plate 53 is kept open during the energization time. Furthermore, each time the ball 14 passes through the winning areas 13a to 18c, a large number of LED lamps 20 provided on the guide rail 15 are caused to emit light in different colors according to the respective winning areas 183 to 18c. This allows the player to easily know which winning area the ball 14 has passed through.

On the other hand, regardless of whether the ball 14 fired as described above passes through the winning areas 188 to 18c or not, it sinks downward and returns from the communication port 24 to the firing position of the guide rail 15, where it returns to the next ball. Stand by in preparation for firing action.

Incidentally, unless the ball 14 returns to the firing position reliably and is detected by the detection switch 22, the solenoid 28 will not be energized and the next firing operation will not be performed. Furthermore, when a hit ball wins a prize in a specific winning hole 4 of the game board 2 while the ball 14 does not return to the shooting position, the number of winnings during that time is stored and at the same time an LED lamp 25 is lit to display the number. When the balls 14 return to the firing position and are detected by the detection switch 22, the solenoid 28 is actuated based on the stored number to fire the balls 14.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the winning device of the present invention, a ball is enclosed in the hollow interior of the case filled with water, and when a ball fired onto the game board of a pachinko machine enters a specific winning hole,
The ball is launched using the jet force of water, and the launched ball passes through a winning area, thereby converting a variable winning device provided on a game board of a pachinko machine into a state advantageous to the player. This is completely new and innovative as a winning device for a pachinko machine, and it is unprecedented as a winning device for a pachinko machine. It is a very interesting product, and since it has a simple structure and does not require complicated electronic circuits, it can be provided at an extremely low cost.

In addition, since the ball launched into the water sinks while experiencing water resistance and fluctuating in various ways, it can be accompanied by chance, such as when it passes through a winning area, which increases the player's interest. You can pull a lot.
