This invention relates to a pachinko machine that transforms a particularly disadvantageous state into an advantageous state.

(Prior Art) As is well known, a winning device for hitting balls is attached to the surface of the game board of a pachinko machine.

Conventional prize-winning devices, for example, have movable wing pieces facing each other on the left and right sides, and when a ball hits from above between the upright movable wing pieces, both movable wing pieces tilt laterally, making it easier for the ball to enter. When a ball is hit in this state, both movable wing pieces become upright. There is a winning device called a so-called ticket. Also, various winning devices are known in which a solenoid is electrically controlled to change the movable blade between a state in which the ball does not enter or is extremely difficult to enter, and a state in which it is extremely easy to enter the ball.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in a pachinko machine equipped with the above-described winning device, the state only changes when a batted ball enters the winning device or a specific winning hole during a pachinko game. There is little change. Furthermore, even if the player is advantageous, it is only a matter of chance, depending on whether the ball hits any winning device or not, and cannot be predicted in advance, so it cannot provide sufficient interest to the player.

This advantageous state can be maintained for a certain period of time (for example, 20 seconds) by a timer function using an electrical control device, or can be maintained instantaneously by the opening/closing member 3.
The number of times 7 falls down continues 20 times, opening/closing material 37
It is possible to easily imagine all kinds of situations, such as when a player is constantly lying down, but when a certain number of balls are hit, it stands upright and changes to a disadvantageous situation.

Therefore, the player plays a pachinko game while expecting the display winning device 3 to be in a specific state.

A display winning device is provided on the surface of the game board, in which a display portion for each winning piece formed in the above faces the display window portion, and a rotor corresponding to the winning portion is rotated by the ball hitting the winning portion when the ball hits the winning portion. Therefore, as the rotor rotates, the display portion of the rotary disk facing the display window portion changes, and the mechanical winning device can change the winning mode and provide a decorative effect.
When a ball hits a winning area, the display in the display window located at the bottom changes, making it easier for the player to check the winning area where the ball has landed, as well as allowing players to aim for a specific state. It is easy to concentrate the batted balls on a specific winning section.

In addition, the display winning device and the variable winning device are provided on the surface of the game board, and when the display on the display window of the display winning device becomes a specific state, the variable winning device changes from a disadvantageous state to an advantageous state for the player. This makes it easy for the player to confirm which winning part the ball hits when it enters the specific state, and furthermore, the specific state is generated by the rotation of the rotor provided corresponding to each winning part. Therefore, it can be generated more reliably than by electrical means, and can greatly enhance the interest of the players. Furthermore, since the rotor is rotated by the ball being hit, it is extremely slow compared to electric means, so changes in the display on the display window can be easily confirmed, making pachinko games rich in variety despite being mechanical. It provides a pachinko machine that is interesting.
