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, a pachinko gaming machine that uses a pachinko ball, such as a pachi-lot, and more particularly a gaming machine that can receive a pachinko ball into a pachinko ball tray from an adjacent pachinko ball lending device. It is about.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a pachinko gaming machine, which is a kind of gaming machine using a pachinko ball, various measures have been conventionally made in order to further enhance the interest of the player.
As one of them, it is possible to increase the size of the game surface.
However, the pachinko gaming machine is precisely assembled from various constituent members, and it is not possible to simply increase the size of the gaming surface without considering the relationship with other constituent members.

By the way, in a pachinko game machine, a game ball is sphered from a pachinko ball renting device, which is called a so-called sand, which is arranged in a gap between adjacent pachinko game machines on the side of the pachinko game machine through a distribution nozzle. It is designed to be supplied on the cradle. (In a so-called CR machine, the internal payout mechanism is generally used to supply the game balls onto the ball cradle, but the CR machine may also use a pachinko ball lending device). The standard of such a pachinko ball lending device is decided in any pachinko ball hall, and in the conventional model in which the upper tray is arranged on the gaming machine body side as shown in FIG. 29, the tip of the ball distribution nozzle 151 is The pachinko ball from the payout mechanism (not shown) is located in front of the payout opening 153 for guiding the pachinko ball to the upper tray 152 and above the upper tray 152 not far from the upper surface. The tip position of the ball distributing nozzle 153 is set so that the pachinko balls discharged from the ball distributing nozzle 153 do not become jammed between the upper surface of the upper tray 152 and bounce out by coming into contact with the upper surface of the upper tray 152, or It is set at an optimum position so as to suppress the sound of the pachinko ball that contacts the upper surface of the tray 152 as much as possible.

[0004]

However, when the upper tray is arranged at a position lower than the conventional arrangement position as described above, the tip position of the ball distributing nozzle is relatively located away from the upper tray. Will be placed in. As a result, if no measures are taken, the pachinko ball that has fallen from the tip of the ball distribution nozzle comes into contact with the upper surface of the upper saucer and bounces off, or as a result of the longer fall distance, the pachinko ball that comes into contact with the upper surface of the upper saucer Some problems such as loud sound will occur. Also, in some cases, the pachinko balls that flow into the upper tray from the payout port may be placed on top of the pachinko balls that have flowed in first, or the balls may hit each other strongly at the time of inflow, again causing the pachinko balls to jump out of the upper tray. It was. In this case, it is practically difficult to change the position of the ball distributing nozzle of the standardized pachinko ball lending device because all the pachinko ball lending devices in the pachinko ball are replaced. The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems existing in such conventional techniques. The purpose is to have a pachinko ball saucer (upper saucer) with a design margin that is not constrained by the position of the ball distribution nozzle of the pachinko ball lending device.
It is to provide a game machine having.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the invention according to claim 1, a game table provided with a game surface which is supported by a support frame and is faced by a player to play a game. ,
A door frame that is openably and closably supported with respect to the game table and is arranged in front of the game surface, and a pachinko ball saucer that sequentially guides pachinko balls distributed from inside or outside the game table toward the game table. In order to prevent the pachinko ball falling on the pachinko ball saucer from jumping out, a high wall portion is formed on the periphery of the pachinko ball saucer and the fall position of the pachinko ball is formed higher than the surrounding position. What is done is the summary.

According to the second aspect of the invention, a game table having a game surface which is supported by the support frame and in which the player faces and plays a game, and the game surface which is supported to be openable and closable with respect to the game table. From the door frame arranged in front of the, the firing operation mechanism arranged on the gaming table for firing the pachinko ball on the game surface by the player's operation, and the distribution nozzle of the adjacent pachinko ball lending device A pachinko ball saucer for receiving the released and dropped pachinko balls and sequentially guiding the pachinko balls to the firing operation mechanism, and downwardly moving the pachinko ball saucer so as to be in a positional relationship spaced apart from the dispensing nozzle. The gist of the present invention is that a high wall portion, which is arranged at a position and prevents the pachinko ball from jumping out when it falls on the pachinko ball saucer, is formed on the periphery of the pachinko ball saucer. According to the third aspect of the present invention, a game table provided with a game surface supported by the support frame to allow the player to face and play the game, and a game table that is openably and closably supported with respect to the game table in front of the game surface. The door frame to be placed, the firing operation mechanism disposed on the gaming table that causes the pachinko ball to be fired on the game surface by the player's operation, and discharged from the distribution nozzle of the adjacent pachinko ball lending device. It has a pachinko ball saucer that receives the falling pachinko balls and guides the same pachinko balls sequentially to the firing operation mechanism, and has a pachinko ball saucer arranged at a position where the pachinko balls dropped from the distribution nozzle do not bounce. By arranging the pachinko ball saucer at a lower position with respect to a predetermined pachinko gaming machine, the position of the pachinko ball saucer with respect to the pachinko ball discharge position of the distribution nozzle is set to the predetermined pachinko ball. With a position spaced apart from the position of the machine, the high wall portion is formed at the periphery of the pachinko ball ball saucer to prevent the pachinko ball from jumping out when it falls on the pachinko ball saucer. Use as a summary. In the invention described in claim 4, in addition to the structure of any one of claims 1 to 3, the gist is that the pachinko ball saucer is integrally formed with the door frame. Here, generally, in a pachinko gaming machine, a gaming board is mounted on a gaming machine main body as a gaming table, and an upper tray is arranged below the gaming board. The applicant has expanded the playing surface and at the same time moved the upper tray to the door frame side so that the upper tray is integrally arranged below the glass window of the door frame. The reason why the upper tray is integrated with the door frame side is mainly for the following reason. That is, it becomes necessary to enlarge the glass window of the door frame by enlarging the game surface. However, the larger the area occupied by the glass window, the lower the strength of the door frame. On the other hand, by enlarging the game surface, it becomes necessary to make the upper and lower widths of the upper trays narrow, which also causes a problem of strength reduction. Therefore, the upper receiving tray is moved to the door frame side to prevent the strength of the door frame and the upper receiving tray from being lowered, and the game surface is enlarged.

[0007]

According to the invention described in claims 1 to 3,
Since the distribution assisting means is provided, the stable introduction of the pachinko balls distributed to the pachinko ball saucer toward the gaming machine is secured.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A first embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the present invention, the basic structure other than the upper saucer corresponding to the pachinko ball saucer is the same in the other embodiments, so the first embodiment will be described as a representative. In the following description, the front side, front side, or front side refers to the side that the player faces, and the rear side, rear side, or back side refers to the side opposite to the facing side. Unless otherwise specified, the term “left and right” refers to the left and right direction when viewed from the front. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, an outer frame 1 as a support frame body of a pachinko gaming machine is a wooden frame body framed in a quadrangle by upper, lower, left and right frame plates 1a to 1d. Lower frame plate 1b
A curtain plate 2 is arranged on the upper surface. A gaming machine body 4 is mounted on the outer frame 1. The gaming machine main body 4 is a panel-shaped component that forms the structural core of the pachinko gaming machine, and pivots about the pivot shaft 6a of the hinge fitting 6 to open and close the outer frame 1 as shown in FIG. The metal fitting 4a is attached so that it can be opened and closed and can be detached. As shown in FIG. 2, other panel-shaped components are arranged in a stack in the front-rear direction with the gaming machine body 4 as the center. First, a schematic arrangement state of each constituent member and main constituent members accompanying them will be described based on FIG. 2, and then each constituent member will be described in detail. The game board 5 is fitted in the game board mounting space 9 formed in the upper half of the game machine body 4. A door frame 7 is arranged in front of the game board 5. A glass window G is fitted at an upper position of the door frame 7, and an upper tray 8 as a pachinko ball tray is formed at a lower position of the glass window G. A mechanism board 10 is arranged at a rear position of the game board 5 so as to cover the game board 5 from the back surface. Mechanism board 1
A mounting base 11 is arranged immediately below 0. A cover plate 13 is arranged below the game board 5. The cover plate 13 is fixed to the gaming machine body 4. A lower tray 14 is formed on the cover plate 13 so as to project forward. Cover plate 13
Corresponds to the lower cover plate in the conventional model.
This is because, in the first embodiment, the upper cover plate on which the upper tray 8 is originally disposed is not required as the upper tray 8 moves to the door frame 7 side. An operation handle 15 is attached to the right side of the lower tray 14.

First, the game machine body 4 and the game board 5 will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 1, 7, and 8, a game board mounting space 9 framed by a horizontal frame 18 and left and right vertical frames 19 is formed in the upper half of the game machine body 4. As shown in FIG.
Below the game board mounting space 9 is a pachinko ball processing area 21, and below the pachinko ball processing area 21, a pachinko ball launching mechanism 23 and an acoustic mechanism 24 are further arranged. The game board 5 is placed on the top plate 22 of the pachinko ball processing area 21 and fitted into the game board mounting space 9. As shown in FIG. 6, the game board 5 is a substantially square panel body, and is surrounded by inner rails 25 and outer rails 26 on the game surface 20 arranged substantially vertically to the front surface of the game board 5. A circular game area 27 is formed. In the game area 27, a winning opening 28, a variable display device 29, etc. are arranged at predetermined positions. An outer ball recovery port 30 is formed at the lowermost position of the inner rail 25. Pachinko balls (gaming balls) that have not won a prize after winning the game exit from the out-ball collecting port 30 as out-balls. The nails are not shown. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, on the front surface of the game board mounting space 9, there is formed a curtain plate 31 which is framed in a shape corresponding to the game area 27. The curtain plate 31 has a function of holding the game board 5 placed on the top plate 22 and preventing the game board 5 from falling off forward. In the first embodiment, the curtain plate 31 is made of transparent plastic (specifically, PC: polycarbonate), and the coloring or pattern applied to the game surface 20 beyond the game area 27 is seen through the curtain plate 31. It has become so. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the game area 27 has a larger diameter than that of the applicant's conventional model (where the upper tray is arranged on the main body of the game machine), and the variable display device 29. The display screen 29a is also enlarged and occupies a considerably large area in the game area 27. The main reason for this is that the mechanism related to the upper tray can be dispersed by moving the upper tray to the lower position of the game board, and as a result, the game board can be configured to be vertically longer.

As shown in FIG. 11, on the back surface of the game board 5 and below the variable display device 29, safe ball collecting gutters 32 are provided at three locations. A safe ball collecting plate 34 is disposed below the safe ball collecting gutter 32. The safe ball collecting gutter 32 is a passage on the back side through which a winning pachinko ball (safe ball) passes after leaving the game area 27. The safe balls guided to the safe ball collecting gutter 32 are inside the safe ball collecting plate 34. It passes through (a gap with the game board 5) and falls downward. As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the safe sphere set gutter 32
A main board 33 is arranged on the back surface of the safe ball collecting plate 34. The main board 33 is provided with a program corresponding to the contents of the game, a program for starting the program, and the like, which are sealed according to each model.

Next, the structure around the pachinko ball processing area 21 of the game board 5 will be described. Pachinko ball processing area 21
An introducing passage 45 that guides a pachinko ball supplied from a payout mechanism 40, which will be described later, to the front surface (player side) and a discharge passage 46 that guides the pachinko ball to the outside are provided. First, the introduction passage 45 will be described. The introduction passage 45 has a main passage 47 for guiding the pachinko balls to the upper tray 8 and a bypass passage 49 for guiding the pachinko balls that have overflowed toward the lower tray 14 when the upper tray 8 is full. Figure 9
As shown in FIG. 11, the main passage 47 is provided with an inlet port 50 on the back side of the gaming machine body 4 and communicates with the outlet port 51 on the front side of the gaming machine body 4 as shown in FIGS. There is. Figure 1
As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 14 and FIG. 16, in the main passage 47, a lower surface 47a is formed in which the pachinko ball introduced from the inlet 50 flows down. The flow surface 47a is interrupted in the middle, and the outlet 51 has a space between the flow surface 47a.
a is arranged in the front.

As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 and FIGS. 15 and 16, the bypass passage 49 is provided with an introduction port 52 on the back side of the gaming machine body 4 and is provided with a lower tray passage 53 arranged in the front surface of the gaming machine body 4. It is communicated within. In the bypass passage 49, there is formed a lower flow surface 49a through which the pachinko ball introduced from the introduction port 52 flows down forward. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5, FIG. 9 to FIG. 11, and FIG.
4 communicates with the inflow port 14a. Lower saucer passage 5
3 is the first passage 53a for dropping the pachinko balls flowing down from the flow-down surface 49a of the bypass passage 49 in the leftward direction on the front side of the pachinko ball processing area 21 and the slanting pachinko balls falling smoothly to the right about 90 degrees. The guide portion 53b is formed on the curved surface and the second passage 53c that guides the pachinko ball diagonally downward and to the right. Second passage 53
c is connected to the inlet 14a of the lower tray 14 at approximately the center of the gaming machine body 4 in the left-right direction. As shown in FIG. 16, the open space 5 is located above the starting point of the second passage 53c.
4, the lower end of the lower flow surface 47a of the main passage 47 appears.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 5, 13 and 14, a flap 55 is provided upright on the outlet 51. The flap 55 is pivotally supported by a pivot shaft 55a and is biased by a spring (not shown). As shown in FIG. 14, by closing the door frame 7, an insertion tray 57, which will be described later, is inserted into the open space 54 from the outlet 51. Along with this, the flap 55 is laid down on the open space 54 side, and the open space 54
The outlet 51 is provided at a position downstream of the lower flow surface 49a that is interrupted by
A bridge will be built in the direction. In this state, the pachinko ball that has flowed down on the lower flow surface 47a of the main passage 47 flows into the insertion tray 57 and is further guided from the outlet 51 to the upper tray 8. On the other hand, when the door frame 7 is opened, the flap 55 returns to the standing position by the biasing force of the spring as shown in FIG. In this state, the pachinko ball is not guided to the outlet 51, falls from the open space 54 toward the lower second passage 53c, and flows into the lower tray 14.
At this time, the flaps 55 prevent the pachinko balls that have vigorously flowed down the underflow surface 49a from jumping out from the outlet 51. As shown in FIG. 16, the open space 54 and the first passage 53a are in communication with each other without a partition wall in the middle. Therefore, when too many pachinko balls are guided to the main passage 47 and cannot flow down, the overflowed pachinko balls are released from the open space 54 to the first passage 53 on the way from the main passage 47 to the insertion tray 57.
It moves in the direction of a and is guided to the lower tray passage 53 (that is, flows into the lower tray 14). In other words, even a pachinko ball that passes through the main passage 47 without passing through the bypass passage 49 is in an overflow state, so that it can be detoured toward the lower tray 14.

Here, in the conventional model, when the door frame is opened, the passage to the upper tray is cut off, so that the passage A for guiding the pachinko balls to the lower tray is prevented so that the pachinko balls do not spill.
Was formed in the main body of the gaming machine (however, the passage A is not a passage whose periphery is completely covered as in the first embodiment, but is a rail-shaped member whose upper part is open). And
Conventionally, the passage B, which overflows and leads to the lower tray, is formed separately from the passage A in the mechanism board. Embodiment 1
With such a configuration, the pachinko balls that have overflowed by the bypass passage 49 and the lower saucer passage 53 are guided to the lower saucer 14, and the pachinko balls that spill when the door frame 7 is opened are simultaneously opened from the open space 54 to the lower saucer passage 53. It can be led to the lower tray 14 through. That is, by providing the lower saucer passage 53, the periphery of which is enclosed in the gaming machine body 4, it is not necessary to provide the passage A and the passage B as in the conventional case. However, in order to prevent the pachinko balls from flowing from the open space 54 toward the lower tray 14 when the door frame 7 is closed, the insertion tray 57 not provided in the conventional model is provided.

Next, the discharge passage 46 will be described. Figure 9
As shown in FIG. 11, the discharge passage 46 has the out ball and safe ball collecting plate 34 falling from the out ball recovery port 30.
The first inclined surface 58 that receives the safe ball falling from the bottom and flows down (downward in FIG. 11), and the out ball and the safe ball that flow down the first inclined surface 58 receive the safe ball and reverse the flow direction. The second inclined surface 59 that guides the out ball and the safe ball toward the center (left side in FIG. 11) is provided. A discharge port 60 communicating with an external rail (not shown) is formed at the lower end of the second inclined surface 59. Here, in the conventional model, the discharge passage for discharging the out ball and the safe ball is not formed in the gaming machine body 4 as in the first embodiment, but is formed on the mechanism board side at the rear position thereof. Was adopted. The reason why the discharge passage is formed on the gaming machine body 4 side in the first embodiment is mainly that the mounting base 11 is the mechanical board 10
This is because it is a request to be configured separately from (and the reason will be described later). In recent models, the safe sphere processing device is abolished, and it is not necessary to separately collect the out sphere and the safe sphere, and the recovery mechanism for the out sphere and the safe sphere has a simple structure. Therefore, it can be provided on the gaming machine body 4 side as in the first embodiment without intentionally providing it on the mechanism board side, and the mounting base 11 can be arranged in the lower part of the mechanism board 10 with a space secured. It came to be like this.

Next, the pachinko ball firing mechanism 23 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 9 to 12, a pachinko ball launching mechanism 23 is provided on the lower right side of the gaming machine body 4 (on the lower left side when viewed from the back side). The pachinko ball launching mechanism 23 comprises the operation handle 15, launching hammer 63, motor device 64, launching cam (not shown), coil spring (not shown), and the like. The motor device 64 rotates at a predetermined timing (100 times per minute in the first embodiment) on condition that the player touches the handle ring 15a of the operation handle 15. A firing cam is fixed to the rotary shaft of the motor device 64, and the firing cam rotates to rotate the firing hammer 63 against the biasing force of the coil spring. The firing hammer 63 is disengaged from the rotated firing cam, so that the firing hammer 63 instantly returns to its original position by the biasing force of the coil spring. A game ball is fired by the momentum at this time. By rotating the handle ring 15a of the operation handle 15, the biasing force of the coil spring is controlled, and the contact speed of the firing hammer 63 to the pachinko ball (gaming ball) is adjusted.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 12, a firing guide rail 65 is arranged on the right side of the lower tray passage 53. The lower end (right end) of the launch guide rail 65 is disposed on the side of the launch hammer 63, and extends obliquely upward to the left so as to overlap with the forward / backward direction of the launch hammer 63. From the top of the launch guide rail 65, the jump area 67 where the pachinko ball (game ball) that has been launched jumps and jumps over
Are formed. Below the jump area 67, the top plate 6 that constitutes the second passage 53c of the lower tray passage 53 is formed.
8 are arranged. Since the top surface of the top plate 68 is an inclined surface that descends to the lower right, even if it is fired, the game surface 2
A momentary pachinko ball that has returned to zero and has fallen from the jump area 67 onto the top plate 68, and the pachinko ball flows down on the top plate 68 in the right direction and the firing guide rail 6
It is adapted to be introduced into the return passage 69 from below 5. The return passage 69 communicates with the inflow port 14a of the lower tray 14.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the firing guide rail 65 is directly viewed from the front, the lower end of the firing guide rail 45 is located below the upper end of the cover plate 13. That is, it is arranged at a hidden position that cannot be viewed from the front. This is because the vertical width of the game board 5 has been expanded as described above and it has advanced to the lower position compared to the conventional model.
This is because 5 is shifted to the lower position as a whole.
Normally, when the firing guide rail 65 is lowered, the position of the operation handle 15 is also lowered so that the firing guide rail 65
The bottom of the is never hidden. However, in the pachinko game machine, the position of the operation handle 15 is ergonomically determined such that it is arranged at a position where the player can easily operate it. Therefore, the position of the operation handle 15 cannot be lowered. However, a launch guide rail 65 having a predetermined length is required as an approach distance after the game ball is launched. Therefore, it is configured in this way. Here, since the game balls to be launched one after another flow into the lowest end position (launch preparation position) of the launch guide rail 65, it is necessary to securely hold the game balls. In the conventional model, since the launch guide rail 65 is adjacent to the upper cover plate arranged on the front surface thereof, it is possible to design the discharge port of the game ball from the upper cover plate so as to face the launch preparation position. However, such a design is difficult at the firing preparation position hidden below the upper end of the cover plate 13 as in the first embodiment. Therefore, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 17, the game ball guide plate 70 is adjacent to the lowermost position of the launch guide rail 65.
Is provided. The game ball guide plate 70 has an inclined surface that slightly lowers to the right and has its upper surface slightly lowered to receive the game balls that have flowed in from the upper tray 8 on the door frame 7 side. In addition, FIG.
Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the plate 70 is arranged at a position (front position) adjacent to the launch preparation position at a position slightly higher than the launch guide rail 65 at that position. As a result, the game ball rolling on the plate 70 toward the launch preparation position is guided to the launch preparation position at a position one step lower than the plate 70 and forward by the game ball guide plate 70 at the launch preparation position. It will be held from and accurate firing is possible. The game ball guide plate 7 at the launch preparation position
The height of 0 is preferably no higher than the height of its adjacent firing guide rail 65. If it is too high, the pachinko ball dropped from the plate 70 onto the launch guide rail 65 bounces on the rail 65, so that the hitting point is not stable and accurate hitting and rapid firing cannot be performed. Further, when the plate 70 is at a position higher than the diameter of the pachinko ball, the pachinko ball spills from the launch guide rail 65 and the plate 70
This is because there is a possibility that it will wrap around to the back side of. An ashtray 72 is arranged on the left side of the lower tray 14 of the cover plate 13. In the first embodiment, a speaker (not shown) of the acoustic mechanism 24 is provided on the back surface of the ashtray 72. As shown in FIGS. 1, 5 and 12, a keyhole 73 is formed on the right side of the firing guide rail 65. This keyhole 73 is the door frame 7 for the game machine body 4.
It controls the opening and closing of.

Next, the door frame 7 will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a door frame 7 is arranged on the front surface of the game board 5. The door frame 7 is mounted on the gaming machine body 4 so as to be openable / closable and removable with respect to the gaming machine body 4 by rotating about a rotating shaft 6a of the hinge fitting 6 (that is, coaxially with the rotating shaft of the gaming machine body 4). . The door frame 7 has a substantially rectangular outer shape, and a large circular window hole 75 is formed in the center. The window hole 75 is circular so as to correspond to the game area 27 of the game surface 9 of the game board 5. A glass G for exposing the game surface 9 of the game board 5 is fitted in the window hole 75. A reinforcing frame 74 is arranged on the rear surface side of the door frame 7 and around the window hole 75. A decorative panel 76 for decoration is arranged at a predetermined position on the front side of the door frame 7 and around the window hole 75. A lamp (not shown) is provided in each of the decoration panels 76, and is turned on and off under the control of the main board 33. An operation button 77 for lending a ball is located below the window hole 75.
And 7-segment display panel 78 that displays the remaining amount of the card

As shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, the upper tray 8 is provided with an inflow surface 81 in which the introduced pachinko balls are pooled and an enclosing wall 82 that surrounds the inflow surface 81. On the lower surface 81, a pachinko ball discharged from a ball distribution nozzle of a pachinko ball lending device (not shown) falls and contacts. The lower flow surface 81 is formed to be inclined downward to the right, and a narrowed passage 84 is formed so that the pachinko balls are arranged in a row in which the downstream side (right side) is gradually narrowed. In the upper tray 8, the pachinko balls introduced from the pachinko ball introducing port 83 formed on the wall surface of the door frame 7 on the upstream side (left side) are pooled, and at the same time, the pachinko balls gradually flow down to the narrow passage 84. Further, it is guided to the back side of the door frame 7 from the supply port 85 arranged at the most downstream side of the narrowed passage 84. As shown in FIG. 1, a game ball guide passage 87 for guiding the game ball to the game ball guide plate 70 is arranged at a corresponding rear surface position of the door frame 7 of the supply port 85. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 14, the insertion tray 57 is formed so as to project rearward at a corresponding rear surface position of the door frame 7 of the pachinko ball introduction port 83. In the insertion tray 57, the pachinko ball supplied from the pachinko ball processing area 21 is inserted into the open space 54 from the outlet port 51 with the door frame 7 mounted on the front surface of the gaming machine body 4 from the pachinko ball inlet port 83 to the upper tray. 8

And is completely covered by the high wall portion 82a. The position on the left side of the lower flow surface 81 (in front of the pachinko ball introduction port 83) surrounded by the high wall portion 82a (and the wall surface of the door frame 7) is a position where the pachinko ball falls and contacts from the ball distribution nozzle of the pachinko ball lending device. is there. Therefore, even if the size of the game board 5 is increased and the upper tray 8 is arranged lower than in the conventional model, even if the distance from the ball distribution nozzle to the lower flow surface 81 becomes long, the high wall portion 82a The pachinko balls emitted from the ball distribution nozzle do not jump out. Here, in the conventional model, the upper tray is arranged on the upper cover plate separately from the door frame. The upper cover plate is a member arranged below the door frame. Therefore, when the door frame is opened, the height of the wall of the upper tray provided on the upper cover plate must be restricted so as not to interfere with the opening of the door frame (to prevent interference). It was Therefore, if the distance from the ball distribution nozzle of the pachinko ball lending device to the upper tray is long, the pachinko balls that have fallen onto the upper tray may get over the wall and jump out. Therefore, the position of the ball distribution nozzle is set to be as low as possible. In addition, the upper cover plate must be designed so that the wall does not become too high, which is a design limitation. However, in the first embodiment, since the upper tray 8 is on the door frame 7 side and is opened integrally with the door frame 7, the height of the high wall portion 82a is not limited (actually, the game board. It is necessary to set it so that it does not cover the game surface 20 of 5.).

Next, the mechanical board 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 4 and FIG. 9, a mechanism board 10 is mounted on the back side of the game board 5 so as to be openable and closable with respect to the game machine body 4. The mechanism board 10 has a hinge portion 90 arranged vertically.
(Only the lower side is displayed in the first embodiment) is supported by the gaming machine body 4, and the gaming machine body 4 is pulled out and pushed in by the opening and closing pins 91 arranged in a scattered manner on the board surface.
It is supposed to be removable. A large opening 10a is formed near the center of the mechanism board 10. Large opening 10a
The upper half is covered from the back by a cover 92.
As shown in FIG. 9, the variable display device 29 and the main board 33 disposed on the back surface of the game board 5 are exposed through the large opening 10a in the state where the mechanism board 10 is closed with respect to the game machine body 4. It The variable display device 29 is covered from the back by the cover 92, but the main substrate 33 is not covered for visual confirmation. A tank T is arranged above the mechanism panel 10. A tank rail 93 is arranged below the tank T. The tank rail 93 moves the pachinko ball introduced from the tank T from left to right in FIG.
In the first embodiment, the game board 5 is extended upward as compared with the conventional model, so the tank T is formed slightly shallower than the conventional model. On the right side of the tank rail 93, a payout device unit 95 is arranged downward. The payout device unit 95 is a payout device 96.
And the first flow path 9 for guiding the pachinko ball to the payout device 96.
7, a ball removing mechanism 98 for removing the ball in the first flow path 97 when the pachinko machine is removed from the island by discarding the pachinko machine, and the pachinko ball is discharged when the ball is removed. It is composed of a ball removal channel 99, a second channel 100 downstream of the payout device 96, a bell 101, and a third channel 103 downstream of the bell 101. In the first embodiment, the two payout devices 96 pay out a predetermined amount of pachinko balls (prize balls) based on the generation of safe balls. The pachinko ball flows down the second flow path 100 and contacts the bell 101 on the way. The pachinko ball that abuts the bell 101 is the third flow path 10
3 is guided obliquely downward (obliquely left downward in FIG. 9).
The pachinko ball that has flowed down the third flow path 103 reaches the inside of the mounting base 11.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 4 and 9, a mounting base 11 is arranged below the mechanism board 10.
The mounting base 11 has a hinge portion 105 arranged vertically.
Is supported by the gaming machine body 4 so as to be openable and closable, and can be attached to and detached from the gaming machine body 4 by pulling out and pushing in the opening / closing pin 107 arranged on the left side in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 9, 20 and 21, a mounting board 11 is fixed to a launching board box 11a for storing a launching board and a power supply board box 11b for storing a power supply board. As shown in FIG. 21, the pay-out board box 11c in which the pay-out boards are stored is removable. This is because it is necessary to separately supply only the payout substrate box 11c to the user in order to prevent fraud. A main passage intermediate passage 109 and a bypass passage intermediate passage 110 for guiding the pachinko ball flowing down from the payout device 96 toward the gaming machine body 4 are formed on the rear surface of the mounting position of the payout substrate box 11c. That is, the pachinko ball that has flowed down the back surface of the mechanism board 10 is turned forward in the mounting base 11. The main passage intermediate passage 109 communicates with the main passage 47 of the gaming machine body 4, and is arranged below the third passage 103. Basically, the paid out pachinko balls are guided toward the main passage intermediate passage 109 along the third passage 103. The bypass passage intermediate passage 110 is communicated with the bypass passage 49 of the gaming machine body 4,
It is arranged below the bypass flow passage 111 branched from the flow passage 103. The pachinko balls are diverted to the bypass flow passage 111 in a state where the amount of paid out pachinko balls is large and the pachinko balls cannot flow into the intermediate passage 109 for the main passage.

Here, the mounting base 11 is the mechanism board 10
It is configured separately from. In the conventional model, the launch board,
The power supply board and the payout board are arranged on the mechanical board,
And, it is not necessarily arranged in the lower position where it is easy to check in this way. Embodiment 1
The main reasons why the mounting base 11 is configured separately from the mechanism board 10 are as follows. 1) The conventional mechanism board has become larger and heavier. 2) It is a separate body for pachinko games. Speeding up machine assembly work 3)
On the contrary, it is easy to remove when reusing. Further, in the first embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine has a common board regardless of the game contents, and is attached to the mounting base 11 separately from the mechanism board 10, thereby facilitating maintenance and inspection. Also, the mounting base 1
1 can be provided as described above, the gaming machine main body 4
This is also because the discharge passage 46 is moved to the pachinko ball processing area 21 of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the vertical width of the mechanism board 10 is configured to be substantially the same as the vertical width of the game board 5, so that the mounting base 11 is opened or removed by opening the mechanism board 10. It is possible to perform maintenance, inspection, replacement, etc. of the game board 5 without using it. In addition, the launch board box 11a, the power board box 11b, and the payout board box 11c are connected to the discharge passage 4
The reason why the mounting base 11 is formed separately is that it is made less susceptible to the noise (electrical signal) derived from static electricity generated when the pachinko balls come into contact with each other by being separated from 6.

Next, the operation and effect of the pachinko gaming machine of the first embodiment having the above-described structure, particularly near the upper tray 8, will be described. Embodiment 1 on the hall side
When the pachinko game machine is replaced with a conventional model, it is not possible to change the position of the ball distribution nozzles of the pachinko ball lending device arranged on the island at predetermined intervals. Therefore, even when a player plays a game with the pachinko game machine according to the first embodiment, the ball distributing nozzle of the pachinko ball lending device is rotated and the tip thereof is arranged above the upper tray 8 as in the conventional case. The pachinko ball is dropped onto the lower surface 81 of the upper tray 8. At this time, the surrounding wall 82 surrounding the flow-down surface 81 is a high wall portion 82a in which the circumference of the pachinko ball introduction port 83 is formed higher than other portions. Therefore,
Since the size of the game board 5 becomes larger and the upper tray 8 is arranged below it as compared with the conventional model, the distance from the ball distributing nozzle to the lower flow surface 81 becomes longer, so the pachinko discharged from the ball distributing nozzle. Although the sphere falls and comes into strong contact with the lower flow surface 81, it does not fly out because it is surrounded by the high wall portion 82a. In addition, the pachinko balls that flow into the lower flow surface 81 from the pachinko ball introduction port 83 are prevented from jumping out. At this time, in this new pachinko game machine, the game surface 9 (game area 27) of the game board 5 is expanded, so that the diffusion degree of the game ball (pachinko ball) is increased and the player is more visually stimulated. Become. In addition, the liquid crystal screen of the variable display device 29 can be enlarged, and a powerful large screen can be enjoyed. Further, in the past, when the door frame was opened, it was opened so as not to come into contact with the upper tray, so that the height of the surrounding wall was naturally limited. That is, it was difficult to design the surrounding wall of the upper tray with a big point. However,
Since the upper tray 8 is formed on the side of the door frame 7 as described above, there is basically no limitation on the height of the surrounding wall 82, and a design margin is created more than in the past.

(Embodiment 2) As shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, a distribution assisting means in which a position where a pachinko ball falls from a distribution nozzle on an underflow surface 81 is raised, and a raised floor portion 115 as a jumping-out preventing means. May be formed, and the raised floor portion 115 may be formed in a step that gradually decreases toward the narrowed passage 84 direction. As a result, the fall distance of the pachinko ball falling from the distribution nozzle can be made closer to that of the conventional model, making it more difficult to jump out and reducing the sound of the pachinko ball coming into contact with the flow surface 81. Raised floor 11
The reason why 5 is formed in a step is to increase the strength of this portion, and, of course, not the step but a slope that gradually decreases may be provided. (Embodiment 3) As shown in FIG. 24, a distribution assisting means, a shock absorbing material as a splash preventing means, and a splash preventing plate 117 made of foamed urethane rubber as a sound absorbing material may be arranged at a dropping point. . If a member made of such a material is used to receive a falling pachinko ball, the impact of the pachinko ball falling is absorbed, and the pachinko ball does not bounce greatly, so that it does not jump out of the upper tray 8.
Furthermore, the impact noise of the pachinko ball that falls and contacts is extremely reduced.

The present invention may be modified and embodied as follows. In the second embodiment, the high wall portion 82a may not be formed as long as the effect of the bounce prevention plate 117 is sufficiently exhibited. In the third embodiment, the high wall portion 82a may not be formed as long as the effect of the high floor portion 115 is sufficiently exhibited. -The shape of the surrounding wall 82 can be freely changed. -In the above embodiment, the mechanism board 10 and the mounting base 11
Was a separate body, but may be a single body. The main passage intermediate passage 109 and the bypass passage intermediate passage 110 provided in the mounting base 11 do not necessarily have to be provided in the mounting base 11. For example, the mechanism board 10 may be provided. The present embodiment can be applied to CR machines other than so-called cash machines. -It is also free to apply to models without the lower tray 14. The height of the high wall portion 82a and the surrounding area can be freely changed. -Only part of the surrounding wall 82 is the high wall portion 82a as described above.
For example, the pachinko ball introduction port 83 may be covered or the surrounding wall 82 may be raised as a whole.

The present invention may be applied to a slot machine using a pachinko ball called a so-called pachilot. As shown in FIG. 25, in the pachi-lot 121 according to the present embodiment, the pachinko ball tray 122 is located at a lower position than the conventional pachinko gaming machine. Therefore, the high wall portion 122a is formed in the same manner as in the above embodiment so that the pachinko ball discharged and dropped from the distribution nozzle of the pachinko ball lending device (not shown) does not greatly bounce on the pachinko ball tray 122 and jump out. . The high wall portions 82a and 122a of the above-described embodiment may be configured separately from the upper tray 8 or the pachinko ball tray 122 and may be detachable. With such a configuration, it is possible to replace only the high wall portions 82a and 122a when a problem occurs (there is a possibility of cracks or cracks due to protrusion). As shown in FIG. 26, the inner surface facing the upper tray 8 of the high wall portions 82a and 122a or the pachinko ball tray 122 may be the inclined surface 123. With such a configuration, the pachinko ball that bounces and comes into contact with the inclined surface 123 is quickly guided toward the upper tray 8 or the pachinko ball tray 122. As shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, a guide passage 125 is provided in the high wall portion 82a so that the pachinko balls that are released from the distribution nozzle of the pachinko ball lending device and fall are provided in the guide passage 1.
