Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine having a display in a game board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine,
As disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-17181, etc., a customer is serviced by returning a predetermined number of balls by entering the balls into a large number of winning openings. In addition, an obstacle such as a nail or a windmill is provided around the winning opening to make it difficult for the ball to enter the winning opening, or to make it easy to enter the ball only in a specific winning opening.

[0003]

In such a pachinko gaming machine, the movement of the ball is fast and it is unclear how the ball hits, for example, when hitting a nail. I don't know if it is good or not, and which of the winning openings the ball will fit into depends on the machine or the settings. Especially when the ball does not enter the special winning opening and it is easy for the balls to enter only the surrounding winning openings, the ball gradually increases. Despite the increase, it was difficult to aim and hit the prize hole, so in the end, the customer got tired and sometimes stopped playing games.

[0004]

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above point, and a passage for guiding a launched ball, a game board connected to the passage, and a plurality of balls provided on the game board for receiving the ball are provided. A winning opening, a plurality of obstacles provided on the game board to regulate the movement of the ball, and an indicator for displaying a ball trajectory or a target from the passage to the specific winning opening or the specific obstacle. is there.

[0005] With this, it is possible to aim and hit the winning opening and the obstacle to be played toward the winning opening, and the game is played.
The fun of is increased.

[0006]

1 is an external view of a pachinko gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the pachinko game machine, the game board 1 is attached to the frame 11, and the glass door 13 is attached to the front surface thereof. Below the game board 1, an upper plate 14 for supplying a pachinko ball as a game ball to a ball launching device (not shown) is provided, and a handle 15 for ball launching operation and a lower plate are provided below it. A dish 16 is provided. In such a pachinko game machine, connected to the game board 1,
A passage 19 for guiding the fired ball, a plurality of winning openings provided on the game board 1 for receiving the ball, and a plurality of obstacles provided on the game board for restricting the movement of the ball are provided.

[0007] To explain the winning hole, game board 1
The main part of the game area is the game area, the display device 3 is provided so that the player can observe it, and the starting winning opening 31, which is the main winning opening, and two winning openings as the subordinate winning openings are provided below the display device 3. Mouth 2 is provided on both the left and right sides. The display device 3 provided above the central portion is a dot matrix display device or a graphic liquid crystal display device using LEDs, which is a screen for displaying information (characters, numbers, symbols, patterns, etc.) related to pachinko games and the like. It is composed of an indicator. A ball recovery port 4 is provided below them.

Each of the prize winning openings 2 and the starting prize winning openings 31 is provided with a prize detecting device for detecting passage of a prize winning ball, and a special prize device 32 is provided between the right and left starting prize winning openings 31. It is provided. This special winning device 32 is provided with an opening / closing plate that is opened and closed by a predetermined driving mechanism (solenoid, etc.). The opening / closing plate is opened until the time passes or a predetermined number of winning balls are generated. The accessory display device 3 is involved in this special game state, and operation lamps, V lamps, jackpot lamps, and the like that are turned on according to the special game state are appropriately arranged on the game board.

On the other hand, the injured object consists of the nail 6 and the windmill 61,
Not all of them are shown in the figure, but it is to prevent or regulate the progression of the ball around the winning opening, or to give randomness to the progression of the ball. More preferably, a position sensor 83 for detecting the passage of a ball is arranged near the nail 6. The position sensor 83 is a magnetic sensor for detecting the proximity or passage of a sphere, a photo interrupter, a photo reflector, a CCD.
It may be constituted by an optical sensor such as or a mechanical contact type mechanical sensor such as a limit switch having a tongue that comes into contact when the ball passes.

Reference numeral 7 is a display for displaying a ball trajectory or a target from a passage to a specific winning opening or a specific obstacle (particularly a nail). Specifically, when indicating a passage, the display device 7 arranges the lamps 71 in a line according to the locus, arranges a linear light source, or indicates a locus for a ball to enter the winning opening. The corresponding zone is illuminated. When displaying a target, a high-intensity light-emitting diode lamp 72 is embedded in the tip of the nail 6, the nail 6 is made hollow, and light of a specific color wavelength is guided to the hollow portion by an optical fiber or the like. It may be performed by embedding a light emitting diode in the surface portion of No. 2 or by brightly illuminating the entrance portion of the winning opening 2. Further, in order to further illuminate the nail from the direction in which the sphere comes, a plurality of lasers 73 are arranged, for example, in a blind spot where the sphere does not reach or outside the board, and the direction in which the sphere advances is displayed by irradiation of laser light. For example, when a plurality of lasers are arranged on one nail so that the light of the laser 73 is guided to the base of the nail and the trajectory display mode is set by the auto key 82, the passage of the sphere is detected by the position sensor 83. By selecting the closest laser 73 based on the detection result and hitting the light on the game board 1 or the nail 8, it is possible to visually display where the hit bullet has hit,
More preferred.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a control means provided on the back surface of the display device 3 and configured to drive the display device 7 including a microcomputer or the like. The specific display device 7 designated by the player by the stick lever 71 of the gaming table is displayed. Sequentially selected, the selected display 7 is turned on, or the passage of the ball is detected by the position sensor 83 arranged near the nail 6 by operating the auto key 72 of the game table, and the trajectory of the ball is detected most. The near display 7 is lit and displayed.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, not only the winning opening which can obtain a specific game state, but also the winning opening located at the side can stably shoot a ball according to the mark if it is understood that it is well entered.
For example, after hitting several bullets and visually confirming where the ball is hitting, visually deciding where to hit and selecting and displaying it, the handle so that the ball concentrates on that part You can enthusiastically enjoy the game by operating.
