Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> In this invention, when a ball hits the special prize opening of the auxiliary game device, the right to a special game is generated, and when this special game occurs, the ball is awarded a special prize. This invention relates to a so-called type 3 pachinko machine in which a variable prize winning device converts a batted ball into an acceptable state when it enters the mouth.

<Prior Art> In the pachinko game, a number of electric prize winning devices called so-called yakubutsu have been developed in order to add variety to the game content and improve services to players. For example, there is an auxiliary gaming device that generates the right to shift to a special game state by a batted ball that enters a specific winning hole, and if a ball hits the special winning hole with the right to a special game generated with this auxiliary gaming device. A pachinko machine has been proposed in which the winning opening of the variable winning device has been greatly developed and the winning rate is rapidly improved (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 146376/1983).

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, in the above-mentioned conventional so-called third-class pachinko machine, even if a batted ball enters a specific winning hole of an auxiliary game device and a special game right is generated, the variable winning device is immediately activated. The winning rate does not increase rapidly when the winning hole is opened, and the winning hole of the variable winning device cannot be opened unless the batted ball enters the special winning hole after the special game right is generated.

The above-mentioned special winning hole functions as a general winning hole in a normal state, and the winning probability of the special winning hole is about the same as the winning probability of other general winning holes. For this reason, even if the right to shift to the special game mode occurs in the auxiliary game device, especially in a slump state, the ball will not enter the special prize opening, and the player will not be able to change the game as it is. This creates a sense of anxiety and frustration that the right to shift to the special game mode will be lost if the ball hits the special winning hole again without opening the winning hole of the winning device, and this in turn causes interest in pachinko games. There was an actual business problem in which the company's performance decreased.

Therefore, in order to meet the demands of players,
If you simply adjust the opening of the obstacle nail to make it easier for the ball to enter the special winning hole, even if you enter the special winning hole and the variable winning device is opened for a predetermined period (10 winning balls or 10 seconds of opening), it will not open. The number of winning balls hit into the special winning slot provided on the board will soon reach a legally stipulated predetermined number (e.g. 8 balls), and the right to play the special game will be extinguished, making the player anxious. There were complaints that they were not able to receive much of the benefits of the special game mode (winning a large amount of prize balls).

This invention solves the disadvantages and problems in the above contradictory situations.
This was done with the aim of solving the problem, and in the normal game before the right to the special game occurs and the special game after the right to the special game occurs, the direction of the ball fired into the conversion winning device is different from the game. It was designed so that people could change it themselves.

<Means for Solving the Problems> Therefore, the present invention forms a game section 3 surrounded by a guide rail 2 on the surface of the game board 1, and when a hit ball enters the special winning hole 10 in the game section, a special game is played. An auxiliary game device 4 that generates a right, a variable prize winning device 5 that can be converted into a first state in which it does not accept or is difficult to accept a batted ball, and a second state in which it is easy to accept a batted ball, and an armor portion 18 on the surface of the component board 17. At the same time, a covering part 19 is provided below the armor part to form a special winning area 20 surrounded by the armor part and the covering part. A first inflow portion 21 and a second inflow portion 22
In the special prize area mentioned above, there is a ball receiving section 2.
A conversion member 26 that can be converted into a first state in which the ball receiving part faces the first inflow part and a second state in which the ball receiving part faces the second inflow part.
a converting prize opening 2 which is provided in a swingable manner and allows a batted ball received by the ball receiving portion of the converting member to win a prize.
4, 25, and a conversion winning device each having a special winning opening 23 for winning a batted ball that enters the special winning area through the first inflow part or the second inflow part. The variable prize winning device is converted from the first state to the second state on the condition that the batted ball enters the special winning hole of the conversion winning device in a state where the special game right is generated by entering the specific winning hole of the device. .

<Operation> If a ball that has passed through the ball inlet is fortunately placed in the special winning port of the auxiliary game device, the right to switch to the special game mode is generated, and the variable winning device is converted from the first state to the second state on the condition that the ball enters the special winning port of the converted winning device in this state. In the first state where the ball receiving portion of the conversion member of the converted winning device faces the first inlet, if the ball passes through this first inlet and enters the special winning area, the ball enters the converted winning port from the ball receiving portion, and if the ball passes through the second inlet and enters the special winning area in this first state, it flows directly down and enters the special winning port. On the other hand, if the ball passes through the first inlet and in the second state where the ball receiving portion faces the second inlet, the ball flows directly down and enters the special winning port, and if the ball passes through the second inlet in this second state, it enters the converted winning port via the ball receiving portion. Therefore, after the right to play a special game is generated, the flight distance of the ball can be adjusted according to the state of the conversion member, and the ball can be hit to the left or right, so that the winning of the ball into the special winning port is influenced by the player's technical intervention, and the timing of the conversion to the second state of the variable winning device can be controlled by the player's skill, allowing efficient correspondence between the winning of the ball into the special winning port and the conversion of the variable winning device to the second state.

The lower end of the rotating member 35 is pushed to either the left or right by the magnetic repulsion force with the rotating member 4. Note that the rotating member 35
Since the lower end of the first ball rest 42 or the second ball rest 43 abuts against a stopper 47 protruding from the bottom of the conversion drive chamber 34, the range of rotation is restricted.

When the lower end of the rotating member 35 is located on the left side in the rear view as shown in FIG. The first state will be in front of the conversion winning hole 24. In this first state, the gaming section 3
When a batted ball flowing down inside enters the special winning area 20 through the first inflow part 21, this hit ball enters the cover part 1.
9 rolls on the guide shelf 48 formed at the upper end of the ball, falls into the ball receiving part 27, enters the first conversion prize opening 24 from here, passes through the conversion prize ball flow path 33, and enters the game board 1. The ball is ejected to the back side of the ball and becomes the winning ball. On the other hand, when the batted ball flowing down inside the gaming section 3 passes through the second inflow section 22 and enters the special prize winning area 20, this batted ball enters the special prize winning hole 23 and flows down the special prize winning ball channel 31. It acts on the special winning ball detector 32, and is then discharged to the back side of the game board 1, becoming a winning ball.
In this way, in the first state, the first inflow portion 21

Enter the conversion prize opening 24 and enter the second prize located on the opposite side.
Only the batted ball that enters the special winning area 20 through the inflow part 22 wins a prize in the special winning hole 23.

In this first state, as shown in FIG.
It is in contact with one side of the ball flow lower passage 37. Therefore, the batted ball that enters the conversion drive winning hole 38 of the armor portion 18 flows down the ball flow path 37 and reaches the first ball placement portion 4.
Listed on 2. When the batted ball is placed on the first ball mounting portion 42, the first ball mounting portion 42 is lowered by the weight of the batted ball, and the rotating member 35 is rotated in the direction of the arrow in FIG. When the rotating member 35 rotates, the elongated hole 4 of the rotating member 35
0 is rotated, so
The converting member 26 swings in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5, and the ball receiver 27 converts to the second state facing immediately in front of the second converting prize opening 25. Note that, when the ball is hit by rotating the rotating member 35, when the rotating member 35 rotates sufficiently and descends,
The balls are discharged from the first discharge port 49 provided in the lid member 36 to the back side of the game board 1, become winning balls, and are converted into the second state as shown in FIG.

In this second state, the ball that has flowed down inside the gaming section 3 is sent from the second inflow section 22 to the special winning area 20.
Once inside, the hit ball rolls on the guide shelf 50 formed at the upper end of the cover 19 and falls into the ball receiver 27, from where it enters the second conversion prize opening 25 and enters the conversion prize. The balls are discharged to the back side of the game board 1 through the ball channel 33 and become winning balls. On the other hand, when the batted ball flowing down inside the gaming section 3 passes through the first inflow section 21 and enters the special winning area 20, this batted ball enters the special winning hole 23 and flows down the special winning ball channel 31. It acts on the special winning ball detector 32, and is then discharged to the back side of the game board 1, becoming a winning ball. In this way, in the second state, a batted ball that enters the special winning area 20 through the second inflow part 22 enters the second conversion winning opening 25, passes through the first inflow part 21 and enters the special winning area 20.
Only the batted balls that fall within 0 will win a prize in the special prize opening 23.

In this second state, as shown in FIG. The batted ball that enters the conversion drive winning hole 38 flows down the ball flow path 37 and reaches the second ball placement part 43.
be placed on top. When the batted ball lands on the second ball placement section 43,
The second ball mounting portion 43 descends due to the weight of the batted ball and rotates the rotating member 35 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. When the rotating member 35 rotates, the actuating pin 30 loosely fitted into the elongated hole 40 of the rotating member 35 is rotated, so that the converting member 26 swings in the direction of the arrow in FIG.
returns to the first state facing the first conversion prize opening 24. Note that when the rotating member 35 is rotated sufficiently and the ball is hit, the cover member 3
The ball is discharged to the back side of the game board 1 from a second discharge port 51 opened at 6 and becomes a winning ball.

In this way, the conversion winning device 6 allows the ball to hit the armor portion 18.
Every time the ball enters the conversion drive winning hole 38, the conversion member 26 swings, and the ball receiving portion 27 faces the first conversion winning hole 24 and directs the ball that has passed through the first inflow portion 21 to the first conversion winning hole 24. a first state in which the ball that has passed through the second inflow portion 22 enters the special winning hole 23 while winning a prize;
The ball receiving part 27 faces the second conversion prize opening 25 and allows the batted ball that passed through the second inflow part 22 to enter the second conversion prize opening 25, while the batted ball that passed through the second inflow part 22 enters the special prize opening 23. and a second state.
In addition, if a batted ball that has entered another winning opening, for example, a batted ball that has entered the specific winning opening 10 of the auxiliary game device 4, is introduced into the flow path 37 via a guide gutter or the like,
The state of the converting member 26 can also be changed by a batted ball that enters the specific winning hole 10 of the auxiliary gaming device 4.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, a reflective optical sensor is provided on the lid member 36 as the state detector 52,
The detection piece 53 that acts on the detector 52 is rotated by the rotating member 3.
5, and status display lamps 54a and 54b are provided on the left and right sides of the front surface of the armor portion 18. Therefore,
The ball receiving part 27 of the conversion member 26 is the first conversion winning hole 24
When the state is converted to the second state facing the second conversion prize opening 25, the right side status display lamp 54a lights up or blinks due to the action of the status detector 52, the conversion member 26 swings, and the ball receiving part 27 is placed in the second state facing the second conversion prize opening 25. When the state is converted to the second state, the left state display lamp 54b lights up or blinks due to the action of the state detector 52, thereby visually displaying the state of the conversion member 26 to the player.

Next, the game played by the pachinko machine according to the present invention will be explained. In addition, the specific winning opening 1 of the auxiliary gaming device 4
Ball flow down path 37 of the winning device 6 that converts the batted ball that hits 0
The second inflow is configured such that the ball is introduced through a guide gutter (not shown) through a guide gutter (not shown), and the second inflow is set in such a state that it is relatively easy for the ball to pass through the obstacle nail 55 of the first inflow portion 21 of the conversion winning device 6 (with a wide interval). The obstacle nails 56 of the portion 22 are adjusted to a state (narrow spacing) that makes it relatively difficult for a batted ball to pass through, and the ball receiving portion 27 of the converting member 26 is placed in a first state facing the first inflow side. When each member of the game board 1 is adjusted or set as described above, the flight distance of the ball is adjusted so that the player can win the prize in the most advantageous manner according to the progress of the game.
In other words, through the player's technical intervention, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the pachinko game.

In such a pachinko machine, when a batted ball flowing down inside the gaming section 3 luckily enters the specific winning hole 10 of the auxiliary game device 4, the specific winning detector detects this batted ball and transmits a signal to the electric control device. . Further, the batted ball that has entered the specific winning hole 10 is guided by the guide gutter and introduced into the ball flow downward path 37 of the conversion winning device 6. Therefore, in the conversion winning device 6, the batted ball introduced from the specific winning hole 10 lands on the first ball placement part 42 of the rotating member 35 and swings the conversion member 26, whereby the ball receiving part 27 is rotated. The first state facing the first conversion winning hole 24 is converted to the second state facing the second conversion winning hole 25.

Even if a right to a special game is generated when a batted ball enters a specific winning hole 10, the variable winning device 5 does not convert to a second state in which it is easy to accept the batted ball unless the ball enters a specific winning hole 23. Even if the second condition that the batted ball enters the specific winning hole 23 is satisfied and the variable winning device 5 converts to the second state where it is easy to accept the batted ball,
This variable prize winning device 5 returns to the first state of not accepting any batted balls after a predetermined period of time (for example, 10 seconds) or a predetermined number of batted balls (for example, 10). In addition, even if the right to special games has occurred,
If the ball hits the special winning hole 10 again, or if a predetermined number of balls (for example, 8) hit the special winning hole 23, the right to the special game will disappear. Therefore, in order to make the most effective use of the special game that has occurred and to win as many prize balls as possible, the player aims the ball at the right side of the game section 3, so that the ball is relatively difficult to hit. It is more advantageous for the player to proceed with the game if the ball is entered into the special winning area 20 from the first inlet part 21 which is adjusted to be easy to enter and enters the specific winning hole 23.

In this way, the specific winning opening 23 of the conversion winning device 6
When a ball is hit, the special winning ball detector 32 detects this hitting ball and sends a signal to the electric control device, and the electric control device that receives this signal excites the solenoid of the variable winning device 5 to activate the movable wing. The pieces 16, 16 are opened and the first state in which the ball is not accepted is changed to the second state in which the ball is easily accepted.

If the variable prize winning device 5 converts to the second state,
The ball is fired aiming at the left side of the game part 3 so that as many balls as possible enter the variable winning device 5. Then, when a predetermined amount of time passes after converting to the second state, or when a predetermined number of batted balls win a prize,
The electric control device demagnetizes the solenoid of the variable prize winning device 5, causing the movable wing pieces 16, 16 to stand up and return to the first state in which they do not accept a batted ball.

Once the variable prize winning device 5 returns to the first state,
This time, aim at the right side of the gaming section 3 and fire the ball, enter the special winning area 20 from the first inflow part 21 of the conversion winning device 6 in the above-described state,
A prize is allowed to be won in a specific winning hole 23.

In this way, when the batted ball enters the specific winning hole 23 again, the electric control device excites the solenoid of the variable winning device 5 in the same manner as described above, and the movable wing piece 1
6 and 16 to convert it to a second state in which it can easily receive a batted ball.

As described above, when the right to play a special game occurs, when the variable prize winning device 5 is in the first state in which it does not accept a batted ball, by firing a batted ball aiming at the right side of the gaming section 3, from the first inflow section 21. The second condition is satisfied by winning a prize in the specific winning hole 23, thereby converting the variable winning device 5 into a second state where it is easy for a ball to enter. On the other hand, when the variable prize-winning device 5 is in the second state, as many batted balls as possible are made to win in the variable prize-winning device 5 by firing the batted balls aiming at the left side of the game section 3. Then, the variable prize winning device 5
When the state is restored, the user aims again at the right side of the gaming section 3 and enters the specific winning hole 23 to win. By striking the ball to the left and right in this way, it is possible to effectively avoid a certain number of winnings (eight) in a row in a specific winning slot, which is one of the conditions for extinguishing the right to special games. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a large amount of prize balls by making the most effective use of the benefits of the special game (for example, the maximum number of times the variable winning device 5 changes the second state 8 times). The player can feel even more satisfied with the prize ball obtained as a result of the technical intervention of adjusting the flight distance of the ball in the game.

In addition, in this embodiment, a case will be described in which the obstacle nails 55 of the first inlet portion 21 are adjusted to be in a state where it is relatively easy for the ball to pass through, and the obstacle nails 56 in the second inflow portion 22 are adjusted to be in a state where it is relatively difficult for the ball to pass through. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the same effect can be obtained even if the first inflow section 21 and the second inflow section 22 are adjusted in the opposite manner.

Note that the conversion winning device 6 in the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. for example,
As shown in FIG. 7, the upper end portion of the conversion member 26 is pivotally attached to a shaft, and an anchor-shaped ball receiving portion 27 formed at the lower end allows the conversion member 26 to be connected to the first inflow portion 21 or the second inflow portion 22. The batted ball that enters the special winning area 20 is transferred to the first conversion winning hole 24 or the second conversion winning hole 2.
5 may be configured. Further, the means for detecting the batted ball that has entered the specific winning hole 23 is not limited to the above embodiment, and a known detector can be used. Note that, as shown in FIG. 8, locking pieces 57, 57 may be provided protruding from the back side of the component board 17, and the detector 32 consisting of a photo sensor or the like may be fixed by the locking pieces 57, 57. good.

<Effects of the invention> As explained above, according to the invention, the player first plays a normal game in which the ball hits a specific winning slot on the auxiliary gaming device, and if lucky, the ball hits the specific winning slot on the auxiliary gaming device. When the right to play a special game occurs when the ball enters the mouth, the variable winning device is opened to the second state by technical intervention such as hitting the ball to the right side of the gaming section. It can be adjusted by the skill of the person. Therefore, before the maximum number of openings of the variable winning device (for example, 8 times) is reached, a certain number of winning balls (for example, 8) in a specific winning hole may occur in succession, or the ball may be hit again. To prevent a player from feeling uneasy or anxious about entering a specific prize opening and losing the right to shift to a special game mode. Therefore, the players can effectively increase their profits by demonstrating their skills while playing the game, thereby further increasing their interest in the pachinko game.
