Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is a pachinko machine that is arranged on the game board in relation to a variable winning device, and that when a ball wins, the variable winning device is activated. This invention relates to a starting prize winning opening device for converting a first state in which it is difficult to enter a ball into a second state in which a ball is easy to enter.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 58-112571, movable pieces are pivotally mounted on a board in a facing manner, and an electric drive source is connected to the movable pieces to prevent hitting balls from being received. A variable winning device that can convert the first state to a second state that easily accepts hit balls, and a first starting winning opening and a second starting winning opening (specific winning opening) that have a detection switch for winning hitting balls. Provided on the game board, the first
The electric drive source is activated by the signal from the detection switch caused by the hit ball entering the starting winning hole, and the variable winning device is converted from the first state to the second state for a predetermined period of time (for example, 0.7 seconds) once, and When the ball enters the second starting winning hole, the detection switch detects the hit ball, and based on the signal, the variable winning device is activated twice for the predetermined period of time.
Pachinko machines that convert the game into the second state are known.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, in the case of the conventional start-up winning slot, as soon as a hit ball wins, the detection switch detects the hit ball and changes the variable winning device from the first state to the second state. Therefore, there was almost no time leeway between when the hit ball entered the starting winning hole and when the variable winning device was converted to the second state. For this reason, it is difficult to make the hit balls enter the variable winning device in accordance with the timing of winning the starting winning hole, and there is no room for technical intervention, which makes the game less interesting.

Also, if the ball enters the first starting prize hole,
Since the variable winning device is only converted to the second state once for a predetermined period of time, there are few chances of winning with the variable winning device, and the player's desire to play has not been increased.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a time margin between when the hit ball enters the starting winning hole and when the variable winning device is converted to the second state. To provide a starting prize opening device for a pachinko machine that allows balls to be won into a variable prize winning device in accordance with the timing.

Another object of the present invention is to increase the interest of the game by alternating the number of times the variable prize winning device is converted to the second state each time a ball enters the starting prize opening device, and to increase the interest of the player. To provide a starting prize opening device for a pachinko machine, which can improve the service of pachinko machines.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a variable winning device that can be converted into a first state in which it is difficult for balls to enter and a second state in which it is easy to enter the ball, and a variable winning device that can be changed into a first state in which it is difficult for balls to enter. In a pachinko machine in which a starting prize opening is provided on the game board for changing the state from the state to the second state, the starting winning opening is provided on the front surface of the mounting plate. A passage for balls won into the starting prize opening is formed on the back surface of the mounting plate, and a movable body is provided at the end of the passage for receiving the balls and tilting alternately from side to side. Further, a first detection switch and a second detection switch are provided below the movable body to convert the variable winning device from the first state to the second state under different conditions. Then, the movable body alternately distributes and guides the balls that have entered the starting winning hole to the first detection switch and the second detection switch.

We are taking technical measures.

[Function] According to the above-mentioned means, when the hit ball enters the starting prize opening, the hit ball is guided to the passage and flows down while buying time, and at the end, it rides on a movable body that is tilted to one side. , while tilting the ball in the opposite direction by its weight, it is guided and detected by the first detection switch, and the variable winning device is converted to the second state by the signal. Then, when the next hit ball enters the starting prize opening, the hit ball similarly flows down the passage and rides on the movable body, and after returning to the original tilting posture with the weight of the ball, the second detection is performed. It is guided and detected by a switch, and the signal converts the variable winning device to the second state under conditions different from the first detection switch, thereby increasing the desire to play and significantly increasing the interest of the game. be able to.
