A ball detection switch 8 is provided in each ball passage hole 7, and these switches 8 are respectively connected to each indicator lamp 9 provided on the front surface of each ball passage hole 7, and are connected to a combination circuit of an electronic control unit 10. If the signals from each of these switches 8 establish a combination set in the pre-swaging combination circuit, a score corresponding to the combination is given and stored in the storage circuit of the electronic control unit 10. The score is displayed on the score display U on the game board 5. 12 is a firing part formed at the starting end of the guide rail 6, and sum is a ball return opening formed between the firing part ν and the open end of the guide rail 6. A recovery gutter 14 is connected thereto to guide the balls traveling backwards to the ball tray 3 at the bottom. Numeral 1 is a ball hitting rod for hitting the ball onto the game board 5, and is connected to a driving source 16, such as a rotary solenoid.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a ball supply device, which connects the guide rail 6 from the ball tray 2 at the top.
It is installed at the lower front part of the game board 5 leading to the ejection part ν.

As shown in FIG. 3, this ball supply device 17 has a north ball supply passage for arranging the balls flowing from the ball tray 2 in a line, and a supply port 19 at the end of the ball supply passage that corresponds to the firing part ν. , a solenoid that supplies balls from the supply port to the firing section n, and a first solenoid that counts the balls supplied to the firing section n.
It is configured with a switch (■). This first switch 21 is operated by a switch lever ρ moved by a ball to generate a signal. switch lever η
The upper end is rotatably supported by a shaft, and when pressed by a ball, it rotates and presses the switch button to operate the outside of the switch, and at the same time feeds the ball from the supply port 19 to the firing section. do. The signal from the switch 21 is sent to the game end detection circuit via the counter circuit of the electronic control unit 1o, and further sent to the automatic payment circuit.

The operating handle 4 is provided with contacts of a touch switch mechanism, and the contacts 5 are connected to the drive circuit of the electronic control unit 10, and when touched by the player, the ball is supplied to the firing club. The driving source 16 of the batting rod 15 and the solenoid 15 are activated.

Further, the drive circuit is connected to a counter circuit and a game end detection circuit, and stops the operation of the solenoid and the drive source in response to a signal from the game end detection circuit.

There is a ball tank d above the back surface of the game board 5, and prize balls in the ball tank I are sent to a prize ball discharge device 4 via a tank rail swamp. The prize ball discharging device 4 is composed of a case for storing a predetermined number of prize balls and a solenoid 31 pivotally connected to the case, and the prize ball discharging device 4 is configured to collect the points displayed on the score display n by a signal from the automatic settlement circuit. The solenoid 31 is driven a number of times corresponding to the numerical value, and a predetermined number of prize balls are discharged into the upper ball tray 2 through the prize ball discharge gutter &.

Note that the recovery device 14 is provided with a second switch that detects the returned ball and issues a signal, and the signal from the first switch is sent to the counter circuit, and the signal from the first switch 21 is sent to the counter circuit. The function is to subtract the number of returned balls from the counted value to limit the predetermined number of balls required for the game. Further, the drive circuit operates in such a manner that after the solenoid is activated, the drive source is activated to cause the batting rod 15 to fire. In addition, while the prize ball ejecting device @4 is operating according to a signal from the automatic payment circuit, the solenoid application and operation of the drive source 16 are stopped, and the reset circuit of the electronic control unit 10 is activated to release the ball by the solenoid. The firing operation of the batting rod by the supply and drive source 16 becomes possible. In addition, the combinational circuit, counter circuit, etc. are returned to the state before the start of the game by the operation of the reset circuit.

In the electric pachinko type combination game machine of the present invention having the above configuration, when a player throws balls into the upper ball tray 2, several balls are lined up in a continuous state in the ball supply channel. When you grasp the operation handle 4 and touch the contact part,
A count corresponding to a predetermined number of balls required for the game is set in the counter circuit of the electronic control unit 10, and
From the drive circuit to the solenoid and the drive source 16 for the batting rod 15
A signal is sent to energize the solenoid. As the solenoid powder is energized, the tip of the plunger 20 & is used to push the foremost ball for the ball supply passage and supply the powder from the supply port 19 to the firing section hill while rotating the switch lever n. Then, in conjunction with the supply operation of this solenoid, the drive source 1
6 is activated to fire the ball rod 15 and hit the ball onto the game board 6. Furthermore, when the switch lever n rotates, the first switch 21 is activated, and the signal is sent to the electronic control unit. It is input to 10 counter circuits and counted.

The ball hit into the game board 5 passes through one of the ball passing holes 7, the switch 8 in the ball passing hole 7 is closed, and the signal is sent to the combinational circuit and stored, and at the same time the indicator lamp 9 is displayed.
lights up.

When a predetermined number of balls set in advance by the counter circuit are hit into the game board 6, a signal is sent from the counter circuit to the game end detection circuit and the automatic settlement circuit, and the signal is sent to the solenoid to stop the operation of the drive source. In addition, a signal is sent from the combination circuit according to the combination of the ball passing holes 7, 7, etc. through which the ball has passed, and the solenoid 31 of the prize ball ejecting device 4 is activated by the signal, and the score is displayed on the score display M11. The number of prize balls will be discharged into the prize ball discharge gutter &. And i
When the ejection of the balls is finished, a signal from the reset circuit returns the combination circuit and the counter circuit to the state before the start of the game, and a signal is sent to the drive circuit to activate the solenoid and drive source 16 to continue the game. It can be carried out.

In the case of this embodiment, the ball hit into the game board 5 passes through a predetermined number (for example, 7) of ball passing holes 7 that are adjacent to each other. A score is given for each ball passing through adjacent passing holes 7 of these combinations of ball passing holes 7.

As explained above, the present invention allows a combination game of a predetermined number of balls to be played consecutively with a simple operation of grasping the operating handle 4 and touching the contact of the touch switch mechanism 5 provided on the handle 4. You can do it by doing this.

In particular, in the present invention, the action of supplying a predetermined number of balls required for the game to the ejecting unit and the action of ejecting the nuclear ball are electrically linked to each other. Unlike game machines, there is no need for a sensor to detect whether all the balls have been hit into the game board without leaving them, or a complicated ball limiting device that limits the number of game balls to a certain number. It is possible to simplify it. J! In addition, it is an extremely innovative device that eliminates the hassle of manually operating the handle and firing the ball as in conventional game machines.
