Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a game machine, particularly a game machine that improves the so-called mahjong ball machine and arrangement ball machine in the pachinko industry and improves the game performance.

Conventional mahjong ball machines and arrangement ball machines have almost the same mechanical structure as pachinko machines, with each mahjong tile in the case of a mahjong ball machine and each number in the case of an arrangement ball machine.
The ball is assigned to a ball receiving hole that is fixed at a fixed position on the machine base, and the ball hit by the player passes through the numerous nails, rolling wheels, bypasses, etc. planted on the machine base plate. As you pass through and land in any of the respective receiving holes, that tile or number will be displayed on the board, and as you continue the game and complete a particular combination of tiles or numbers, you will receive a number of tiles depending on the type of combination. Metal is now available to receive.

Therefore, the player can play the game while thinking about which hole to put the ball into depending on the strength of the force with which the ball is hit, but whether the ball goes in as desired or not depends on the rolling wheels installed on the board of the game machine. In addition to bypasses, etc., most of this depends on the tightness of the nails planted on the board surface.

That is, in conventional so-called mahjong ball machines and arrangement ball machines, the probability of receiving metal is mainly influenced by the tightness of the nails planted on the board surface.

The present invention improves the conventional game machine to further increase the chance of chance and increase the appeal of the game machine.An example of this will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

The figure shows a game machine for a poker game, which is composed of a game board part 1 and an operation part 2, and the game board part 1 has a circular guide rail 3 inscribed in the machine frame of the part.
A display device 4 is provided in the center, and a rotating disk 6 having the same number of small chambers 5 as 52 playing cards on its periphery is provided at the bottom thereof, with its rotation axis parallel to the board surface 7 of the game machine. However, the peripheral edge of the rotating disk 6 prevents the balls falling along the board 7 of the game machine.
At its maximum protrusion, it protrudes in an arc shape from the board 7 of the game machine to the extent that it can be received in the chamber 5, and on its outer peripheral surface, for each chamber 5, there are 52 types of display (schematically shown in the drawing) that are the same as playing cards. ) are displayed in random order.

As the display device 4, a monitor television or a flashing lamp display device is used, and the figure shows the case of a monitor television.

In addition, in order to guide the balls into the small chamber 5 in this part, nails 8 arranged in a funnel shape are implanted in the board surface 7 of the game machine at a position directly above the maximum protruding part to open the drop hole 9 for the balls. In addition, other parts of the board 7 are provided with a large number of nails 10, rolling wheels (not shown), bypasses, etc., which form the ball falling path, similar to conventional game machines. .

On the other hand, the operation section 2 located at the bottom of the game board section 1 includes a handle 1 for hitting the balls in the game board section 1.
1, a hold button 12, a payment button 13, a start button 14, a metal socket 15, and a metal slot 16 on the upper right side of the game machine.

However, the gaming machine of the present invention operates as follows to develop a poker game.

First, when a player puts purchased metal into the metal input port 16, the rotating disk 6 starts rotating and five balls are fed into the game board 1 at the same time. The player operates the handle 11 to move the ball 1.
Hit them one by one. The ball launched upward along the guide rail 3 follows the board surface 7 due to the strength of the striking force and the ball's own weight, and the falling path is created by nails, rolling wheels, bypasses, etc. planted in the board surface 7. The ball falls while changing and is received in an arbitrary chamber 5 of the rotating rotating disk 6 through the droplet 9, and at the same time an electric signal is emitted and displayed on the outer surface of the chamber 5 that received the ball. A playing card identical to the playing card is displayed on display device 4.
displayed above.

A ball that deviates from the falling path to the drop port 9 and falls,
Returning to the striking position using the handle 11, the player operates the handle again to strike the balls, causing all five balls to be received in the small chambers 5 of the rotating disk 6, and as a result, the display device 4
Five playing cards (shown schematically in the drawing) identical to those displayed in each chamber 5 that received a ball are displayed above.

When the player is satisfied with this combination of playing cards and wants to complete the game, he operates all the hold buttons 12 of the same number as the five playing cards, and then operates the settlement button 13. According to the displayed combination of five playing cards, the player A predetermined number of metals are supplied to the socket, and at the same time, the display of playing cards on the display device 4 disappears, the rotation of the rotating disk is stopped, and the balls in the chamber are ejected into the machine base, completing the game.

Furthermore, if you are dissatisfied with the combination of five playing cards displayed on the display device 4, by operating the start button 14, the display on the display device 4 disappears and all the balls in the chamber are moved to the striking position by the handle 11. You will be returned to the game and can restart the game.

Furthermore, among the playing cards displayed on the display device 4, if you want to leave some of the playing cards that are advantageous in combination as they are and delete others, for example, leave the first and third playing cards from the left on the display device, and leave the others. No. 3
When you want to erase a sheet, operate the hold button located at the leftmost position and the hold button located at the third position from the left, then operate the start button. The playing card in the th position disappears, and the three balls in the small chamber in which the playing card is displayed are returned to the striking position by the handle 11, and the game can be continued. In this case, the balls in the compartments corresponding to the first and third playing cards remain received, so even if the game continues, the balls will not be stacked in the compartments.

Then, when the player reaches a satisfying combination of playing cards, operate all the hold buttons,
Furthermore, by operating the payment button 13, a predetermined number of metal pieces can be received from the metal receptacle 15.

It goes without saying that the player cannot continue the game by operating the hold button 12 and settlement button 13 as many times as he wants until the combination of playing cards reaches the highest combination. For example, the player cannot continue the game by operating the start button 14 for each game. Complete the game by limiting the number of times you can.

Since the game machine of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration and function, it uses only the strength and weakness of the hitting force of the ball and is fixed at a fixed position while taking into consideration the tightening of the nails, unlike the conventional game machine. Unlike the ball receiving hole, in order to obtain the most effective playing card combination, the player hits the ball with the handle when the small chamber of the rotating disk with the effective playing card display reaches just below the drop opening. Even if the handle is operated with sufficient consideration given to timing etc. so that the ball will pass through the drop port and be received in the small chamber,
Due to the strength of the striking force, nails on the board, rolling wheels, bypasses, etc., it is not always possible to receive the ball in the expected small chamber, making it much more difficult to place the ball in the corner than with conventional game machines. This increases the appeal of the game and requires the player's technical ability, making it possible to play an extremely thrilling game.

In explaining the game machine of the present invention, it was explained that 52 playing cards are displayed on the outer surface of a rotating disk for a poker game, but there are four types of gates: spades, clubs, diamonds, hearts, or A rotating disk with the four types of indications is provided, and the ball that passes through the gate or is once received by the rotating disk is then given a number from Ace to King.
Of course, the game machine of the present invention may be constructed such that it reaches a rotating disk displaying 13 types, and the type of playing cards displayed on the display device is determined by the combination of both. Not only for poker games, but if the outer surface of the rotating disk is displayed as mahjong tiles, and the display device displays 14 mahjong tiles, then 1 to 16, or 1 It can be used as any other game machine, such as for bingo games if it displays numbers up to 25, for hanafuda games if it displays hanafuda cards, or for other picture-matching games.

As in the past, the player has the option of using the metal received from the metal socket to continue the game, or exchanging the metal for an appropriate item according to the number determined by the game venue.
