The solenoid mounting plate 85 is a substantially left-right symmetrical gate-shaped member as shown in FIG.

The outer surface of the blade member 81a is formed into a curved surface that draws a substantially circular arc, and the tips thereof are in contact with each other in the closed state. Therefore, when the blade member 81a is closed, the hit ball cannot enter the winning ball entrance 86 described later.

On the other hand, when the solenoid 83 is excited,
The plunger 83a is pulled and the crank lever 84d is rotated, and accordingly, the blade member 81a is rotated outward. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the tip of the blade member 81a is greatly opened, and the ball is converted into the second state in which the ball can easily enter the ball. Then, the ball that has entered the winning ball entrance 86 is discharged to the back of the machine through the winning ball passage 87.

In the winning device 3 according to the present invention, the game section 1 is provided between the winning opening 71 and the movable member 81.
An alternating current surface is formed so that at least one game ball can perform an alternating current so that the ball flowing down the right side region of 2 can move to the left side region. In the illustrated embodiment, as described above, the outer surface of the blade member 81a is formed into a curved surface with a widened downward portion, and the outer surface of the obstacle portion 74 of the top decorative member 7 is formed into a curved surface with a narrowed downward portion. Then, the left and right spheres are easy to interact with each other.

According to the winning device 3 having the above-described structure, that is, the winning device 3 having the winning opening 71, the rotating member 63, and the large winning opening 82 on one base member 6,
Since the area occupied on the game board 1 is reduced, the gauge design is significantly facilitated. Moreover, since the right side area and the left side area of the game section 12 can be exchanged with each other, a variety of games can be performed.

Next, the right generation device 5 arranged in the game section 12 together with the winning device 3 as described above will be described. In the illustrated embodiment, an electric accessory with a distribution device is applied to the right generation device 5.

This electric accessory with a distribution device is mounted on the mounting substrate 5.
A pair of rotating blades 52 are rotatably attached to the mounting substrate 51 by a rotating support shaft 53 on the front side of 1, and a blade crank 54 is provided at the rear end of the rotating support shaft 53. The crank member 56 connects the crank 54 and the plunger 55a of the solenoid 55.

On the other hand, an operating lever 57 is connected to the crank member 56. Then, a ball receiving operation crank 58 pivotally mounted in the middle of the operation lever is connected to the lower end portion of the operation lever 57. Further, on the front end side of the ball receiving operation crank 58, a holding ball receiver 59 that moves up and down between a winning ball holding position and a winning ball holding release position described later is connected.

Inside the winning area formed by the rotating blade 52 and the front decoration member 50, a reserved ball receiver 59 is provided to form a reserved position 41 for the winning ball and a general winning opening 42. That is, the winning area is divided into the central holding position 41 and the left and right general winning openings 42 by the frame-shaped holding ball receiver 59. Further, a specific area is communicated with the holding position 41. That is, the gutter 44 for a specific area, which faces the right generation switch 43, is made to communicate.

Next, the right generation device 5 having the above-mentioned configuration
The operation of will be briefly described. In a normal state, since the solenoid 55 is demagnetized, the plunger 55a projects, the operating lever 57 descends, and the holding ball receiver 5 moves.
9 is rising. Therefore, the rotating blade 52 closes to close the winning area, and the entrance of the specific area holds the reserved ball 59.
Blocked by.

On the other hand, when the opening condition is satisfied such that the symbol display in the variable symbol display device 2 becomes a predetermined mode, the solenoid 55 is excited and the plunger 55a is pulled, the actuating lever 57 is raised and the holding ball receiver 59 is raised. To descend. Therefore, it becomes possible for the hit ball to flow into the winning area. Therefore, one ball that has flown into the winning area is retained by the retaining ball receiver 59 and the ball stopper wall 45. However, the ball that subsequently flows in is blocked by the reserved ball, so the general winning opening 42
Will flow into.

When the closing condition is satisfied, such as when a predetermined time elapses, the solenoid 55 is demagnetized. Therefore, as described above, the plunger 55a is pulled and the rotating blade 52
And the holding ball receiver 59 rises. At this time,
The reserved ball on the reserved ball receiver 59 is the ball stopper wall 45.
Since it loses its support, it moves into a specific area and acts on the right generation switch 43. When the right generation switch 43 operates, the right state is established.

As described above, even if a plurality of balls enter the winning area, only one ball acts on the right generation switch 43, so that there is no fear that the right will disappear immediately after the right is generated. Moreover, since the single solenoid 55 can distribute the balls and open and close the rotating blades 52, the cost can be remarkably reduced.

Next, a game of a pachinko machine provided with the prize winning device 3 and the right generating device 5 as described above will be briefly described.

First, the player shoots a hit ball aiming at the winning device on the left side set in the symbol starting port 4. When the hit ball enters the symbol starting port 4 and the symbol starting switch 4a is turned on, the symbol display on the variable symbol display device 2 is converted (rotated). Then, when the symbol displayed by the variable symbol display device 2 becomes a predetermined mode, the right generation device 5 operates.

Incidentally, when the symbol starting switch 4a is turned on again while the symbol display is rotating, a maximum of four starting memory indicator lights provided with the four LED elements provided in the variable symbol display device 2 according to the starting winning prize. It lights up and stores up to four starting winning data. Then, when the start winning data is stored when the symbol display is stopped, the stored data is decremented by 1, and one LED is turned off to start the rotation of the symbol display.

When the right generating device 5 is activated, the solenoid 55 is excited, so that the rotating blade 52 is opened and the reserved ball receiver 59 is lowered to the winning ball holding position 41.
Even in this state, the player may aim at the left side area of the game unit 12 and blast it.

When the hit ball enters the right generation device 5, one ball is held at the holding position 41. On the other hand, as described above, the other balls enter the general winning opening 42. Eventually, after a lapse of a predetermined time, the rotary blade 52 is closed and the holding ball receiver 59 rises to release the holding ball to a specific area. The released holding ball is caught by the right generation switch 43 to be in the right state. At this time, since only one reserved ball acts on the right generation switch 43, even if a plurality of balls flow into the winning area, the balls do not continuously act on the right generation switch 43. Therefore, there is no fear that the right state will disappear before the right is exercised.

Once in the right state, the player puts a hit ball into the right starting port. That is, the hit ball is shot aiming at the winning device 3 according to the present invention. Even in this state, the player may aim at the left side area of the game unit 12.

When the hit ball jumps into the ball introducing portion 72 which is the winning opening 71 of the winning device 3, it falls through the ball introducing hole 75 to the ball engaging portion 73, and at the ball engaging portion 73 of the rotating member 63. It waits until the notch hole 64 comes around. In a state where the ball is locked in the ball locking portion 73, even if the ball is subsequently fitted into the ball introducing portion 72, the following ball will enter the ball locking portion 73 while being blocked by the locking ball. However, it is separated to the left and right and discharged to the front side of the base member 6.

When the cutout hole 64 of the rotary member 63 comes around, the waiting ball is fitted into the cutout hole 64 from the front side. The ball fitted in the notch hole 64 is the rotating member 63.
Is conveyed to the discharge hole 67, and is discharged from the discharge hole 67 to the back of the machine through the ball discharge gutter 68. At this time, it acts on the detection switch 69 provided on the ball discharge gutter 68 to start the special game.

The special game is the movable member 81 which is the special winning opening 82 until 10 balls are won in the special winning opening 82 or a predetermined time, for example, 10 seconds elapses, whichever comes first, whichever comes first. Open up. The special winning opening 82 can be opened up to 16 times based on entering the right starting opening.

By the way, in the winning device 3 according to the present invention, the right starting port and the large winning port 82 are arranged side by side on one base member 6 and have an AC surface. Therefore, since the right side area and the left side area of the game section 12 can be exchanged with each other, the player does not need to change the aim of the hit ball even if the special game is started, and the game is easy to understand. In addition, since there is little difference in game technology, fair game is possible.

Moreover, if the rotation time of the rotating member 63 is set longer than the opening time of the special winning opening 82, for example, 12 seconds, it will shift to the next opening while the special winning opening 82 is open. You can exercise your rights more than without.

Furthermore, the prize winning device 3 according to the present invention, in which the right starting port and the special winning port 82 are provided in parallel and which is provided with an AC surface,
A ball that has not entered the winning opening 71 as the right starting opening is picked up by the blade member 81a as the movable member from both the left and right regions, and the winning opening 82 can be won. Therefore, there is no generation of wasted balls, and the balls can be stored in the right starting opening before the special winning opening 82 is closed, so that there is no time loss.
An efficient game is possible.

Next, the winning opening 71, the rotating member 63 which forms a storage portion for receiving the winning ball of the winning opening 71, and the first detecting means for detecting the winning ball to the winning opening 71,
The first detection means is provided with second detection means for detecting the stored balls in the storage section, and a movable member 81 capable of converting the first state which is disadvantageous to the player and the second state which is advantageous to the player. 8 to 11 show a winning device 30 according to the present invention in which the movable member 81 is operated by means and the movable member 81 is stopped by the second detecting means.

That is, the winning device 30 is provided with a first detecting means 100 for detecting a ball that has entered the winning opening 71, in addition to the configuration similar to that of the winning device 3 described above.
The detection switch 69 for detecting the sphere that has flowed into the sphere discharge trough 68 through the three notch holes 64 is the second detecting means.

The first detection means 100 is the detection switch 10
When the ball constituted by 1 and entering the winning opening 71, that is, the ball introducing portion 72 is detected, the movable member 81 is opened. On the other hand, when the second detection switch 69 detects a ball passing through the ball discharge gutter 68, the movable member 81 is closed.

Therefore, the time during which the movable member 81 is open depends on the detection output of the detection switch 101 which is the first detection means 100 and the detection output of the second detection switch 69 which is the second detection means. To do. That is, the time for waiting for the arrival of the cutout hole 64 of the rotating member 63 varies depending on the timing at which the ball enters the winning opening 71, so that the time during which the movable member 81 is open changes. Therefore, a variety of games are possible, and a game with high game playability is possible.

The first detection switch 101 may detect not only the position shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 but also the position shown by reference numeral S in FIG. 8, that is, the ball at the ball locking position.
It is also possible to control the rotation speed and the rotation direction of the rotating member 63.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments and can be appropriately implemented without changing the configuration described in the claims. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the so-called third
Although the seed pachinko machine has been described, the winning device according to the present invention can be easily applied to a pachinko machine belonging to another type.
