［遊技機１０の遊技性について］
図２を参照して、遊技機１０の遊技機１０の遊技性について説明する。遊技機１０には、遊技状態として、通常遊技状態と、特別図柄当否判定での当りを条件として大当り遊技終了後に突入する特別遊技状態と、が設けられている。特別遊技状態では、遊技球が始動ゲート１８を通過したときに行われる普通図柄当否判定で当りとなる確率が通常遊技状態よりも高くなっている。従って、遊技機１０では、通常遊技状態のときは、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａ又は第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃに遊技球を入球させ、特別遊技状態のときは、第２の始動入賞口１４Ｂに遊技球を入球させる。第１の始動入賞口１４Ａに遊技球を入球させるためには、遊技領域Ｒ１のうち表示装飾枠２３の左側領域Ｒ２に遊技球を流下させる。他方、第２の始動入賞口１４Ｂ又は第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃに遊技球を入球させるためには、遊技領域Ｒ１のうち表示装飾枠２３の右側領域Ｒ３に遊技球を流下させる。左側領域Ｒ２と右側領域Ｒ３への遊技球の打ち分けは、操作ハンドル２８の回動量を調整することで行われる。なお、以下では、左側領域Ｒ２に遊技球を流下させる打ち方を「左打ち」と、右側領域Ｒ３に遊技球を流下させる打ち方を「右打ち」と、適宜、呼ぶことにする。
[About the playability of the gaming machine 10]
The playability of the gaming machine 10 of the gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The gaming machine 10 is provided with a normal gaming state and a special gaming state to be rushed after the end of the big hit game on condition of a hit in the special symbol acceptance determination as the gaming state. In the special game state, the probability of being hit in the normal symbol judgment performed when the game ball passes the start gate 18 is higher than that in the normal game state. Therefore, in the gaming machine 10, the game ball is entered into the first start winning opening 14A or the third start winning opening 14C in the normal gaming state, and in the special gaming state, the second starting prize opening Insert the game ball into 14B. In order to cause the game ball to enter the first start winning opening 14A, the game ball is made to flow down to the left area R2 of the display decoration frame 23 in the game area R1. On the other hand, in order to cause the game ball to enter the second start winning opening 14B or the third start winning opening 14C, the game ball is allowed to flow down to the right area R3 of the display decoration frame 23 in the game area R1. The hitting of the gaming balls in the left side area R2 and the right side area R3 is performed by adjusting the amount of rotation of the operation handle 28. In the following, a method of hitting the gaming ball in the left region R2 will be referred to as "left hitting", and a method of hitting the gaming ball in the right region R3 will be referred to appropriately as "right hitting".
遊技機１０では、大当り遊技が実行されると、第１大入賞口４１Ｋ又は第２大入賞口５１Ｋが開放され、その開放された大入賞口に遊技球を入球させることで、遊技者に上記した特典とは異なる特典（具体的には、大当り遊技による出玉や大当り遊技終了後に突入する特別遊技状態）が付与される。第１大入賞口４１Ｋ及び第２大入賞口５１Ｋは遊技領域Ｒ１の右下部分に配置されていることから、これらの大入賞口４１Ｋ，５１Ｋに遊技球を入球させるためには、右打ちをして右側領域Ｒ３に遊技球を流下させる。ここで、遊技領域Ｒ１における表示装飾枠２３の下側領域Ｒ４のうちその左端から左右方向の中央部までの領域を下側左領域Ｒ４Ａと称し、下側領域Ｒ４の右側部分を下側右領域Ｒ４Ｂと称すると、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａは下側左領域Ｒ４Ａに属し、第１大入賞口４１Ｋ及び第２大入賞口５１Ｋは下側右領域Ｒ４Ｂに属する。従って、左打ち時には、遊技球は、主として、左側領域Ｒ２と下側左領域Ｒ４Ａとからなる第１領域ＲＦを流下することになり、右打ち時には、遊技球は、主として、右側領域Ｒ３と下側右領域Ｒ４Ｂとからなる第２領域ＲＳを流下することになる。 In the gaming machine 10, when the big hit game is executed, the first large winning opening 41K or the second large winning opening 51K is opened, and the player is allowed to enter the game ball by opening the opening large winning opening. A bonus different from the above-described bonus (specifically, a special game state in which a jackpot game results in withdrawal and a big hit game rushes in after completion) is provided. Since the first large winning opening 41K and the second large winning opening 51K are disposed in the lower right portion of the game area R1, in order to cause the game ball to enter these large winning openings 41K and 51K, And let the game ball flow down to the right area R3. Here, the area from the left end of the display decoration frame 23 in the game area R1 to the central part in the left-right direction from the left end is referred to as the lower left area R4A, and the right part of the lower area R4 is the lower right area When referred to as R4B, the first start winning opening 14A belongs to the lower left region R4A, and the first large winning opening 41K and the second large winning opening 51K belong to the lower right region R4B. Therefore, when hitting left, the gaming ball will flow down the first region RF mainly composed of the left region R2 and the lower left region R4A, and when hitting right, the gaming ball mainly falls below the right region R3. It will flow down 2nd area | region RS which consists of side right area | region R4B.
上述したように、遊技機１０では、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａ又は第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃに遊技球が入球すると、特別図柄当否判定が行われ、その結果が当りになると、大当り遊技が実行される。即ち、遊技機１０では、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａへの入球を条件にして遊技者に付与される特典（具体的には、特別図柄当否判定）と、第３の始動入賞口１４Ｂへの入球を条件にして遊技者に付与される特典（具体的には、特別図柄当否判定）とが同じになっている。従って、遊技機１０では、通常遊技状態のときに左打ちと右打ちの何れを選択しても特典を得ることが可能となり、通常遊技状態の遊技の多様化が図られている。 As described above, in the gaming machine 10, when the game ball enters the first starting winning opening 14A or the third starting winning opening 14C, a special symbol acceptance determination is made, and when the result is a hit, the big hit game Is executed. That is, in the gaming machine 10, to the third start winning opening 14B and the bonus (specifically, special symbol acceptance or rejection determination) to be granted to the player on the condition that the ball into the first start winning opening 14A On the condition of entering the ball, the same benefits as the benefit (specifically, the special symbol acceptance or rejection) given to the player are the same. Therefore, in the gaming machine 10, it is possible to obtain benefits regardless of whether the left hitting or the right hitting is selected in the normal gaming state, and diversification of games in the normal gaming state is achieved.
ところで、通常遊技状態で左打ちをしているときに第２の始動入賞口１４Ｂ又は第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃに遊技球が入球したり、通常遊技状態で右打ちをしているときに第１の始動入賞口１４Ａに遊技球が入球したりすると、遊技球を打ち分けていることの意義が喪失する可能性がある。また、大当り遊技の実行中に第１の始動入賞口１４Ａに遊技球が入球すると、大当り遊技の終了後に右打ちで第２の始動入賞口１４Ｂ又は第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃに遊技球を入球させる予定であった遊技者の楽しみを奪う可能性がある。そこで、遊技機１０では、仕切り壁３４によって、左打ち時に遊技球が流下する第１領域ＲＦと右打ち時に遊技球が流下する第２領域ＲＳとの間での遊技球の行き来を抑制するように構成されている。 By the way, when the game ball enters the second starting winning opening 14B or the third starting winning opening 14C when hitting left in the normal gaming state, or when hitting the right in the normal gaming state When the game ball enters the first start winning opening 14A, the significance of hitting the game ball may be lost. In addition, when the game ball enters the first start winning opening 14A during the execution of the big hit game, the game ball is hit to the second start winning opening 14B or the third start winning opening 14C by right-handing after the end of the big hit game There is a possibility of losing the fun of the player who was scheduled to enter the ball. Therefore, in the gaming machine 10, the partition wall 34 controls the movement of the game ball between the first area RF where the game ball flows down when hitting left and the second area RS where the game ball flows when hitting right. Is configured.
図３に示されるように、遊技領域Ｒ１において、仕切り壁３４は、表示装飾枠２３とガイドレール１２との間に架け渡されるように配置される。表示装飾枠２３の下辺部の右側部分には、前側に迫り出したブロック部２３Ｂが備えられていて（図２参照）、仕切り壁３４の上端がブロック部２３Ｂに近接配置されている。これにより、仕切り壁３４の上を遊技球が飛び越えることが困難となっている。 As shown in FIG. 3, in the game area R <b> 1, the partition wall 34 is disposed so as to be bridged between the display decoration frame 23 and the guide rail 12. The right side portion of the lower side portion of the display decoration frame 23 is provided with a block portion 23B protruding to the front side (see FIG. 2), and the upper end of the partition wall 34 is disposed close to the block portion 23B. This makes it difficult for the game ball to jump over the partition wall 34.
仕切り壁３４の下端部は、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａ、第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃ、第１大入賞口４１Ｋ及び第２大入賞口５１Ｋの何れの入賞口よりも下側に配置されている。従って、仕切り壁３４とガイドレール１２との間の下端隙間３４Ｋを通過する遊技球が、何れかの入賞口１４Ａ，１４Ｃ，４１Ｋ，５１Ｋに入球することは困難となっている。 The lower end portion of the partition wall 34 is disposed lower than any winning opening of the first starting winning opening 14A, the third starting winning opening 14C, the first large winning opening 41K, and the second large winning opening 51K. There is. Therefore, it is difficult for the gaming ball passing through the lower end clearance 34K between the partition wall 34 and the guide rail 12 to enter any one of the winning openings 14A, 14C, 41K, 51K.
ここで、上述したように、仕切り壁３４には、遊技球が通過可能な大きさの連通孔３８が形成されているが、第２領域ＲＳ（詳細には、下側右領域Ｒ４Ｂ）から連通孔３８を通過する遊技球は、誘導路３９によって左下方へと誘導される。そして、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａは、誘導路３９の延長線上よりも上側に配置されているので、誘導路３９によって誘導された遊技球が第１の始動入賞口１４Ａに入球することが困難となっている。また、誘導路３９は、連通孔３８の縁部から左下方に延びる１対の傾斜壁３９Ｈ，３９Ｈによって構成されるので、第１領域ＲＦ（詳細には、下側左領域Ｒ４Ａ）を流下する遊技球は、それら１対の傾斜壁３９Ｈ，３９Ｈによって連通孔３８への入球を規制される。さらに、本実施形態では、連通孔３８の大きさは、遊技球が１つずつ通過可能な大きさとなっているので、そもそも、遊技球が連通孔３８に入り難くなっている。 Here, as described above, the communication hole 38 of a size that allows the game ball to pass is formed in the partition wall 34, but the communication is performed from the second region RS (specifically, the lower right region R4B) The gaming ball passing through the hole 38 is guided by the guide path 39 to the lower left. And, since the first starting winning opening 14A is disposed above the extension of the guiding path 39, the gaming ball guided by the guiding path 39 may enter the first starting winning opening 14A. It is difficult. Further, since the guide path 39 is constituted by a pair of inclined walls 39H, 39H extending downward to the left from the edge of the communication hole 38, it flows down the first region RF (specifically, the lower left region R4A) The gaming balls are restricted from entering the communication hole 38 by the pair of inclined walls 39H, 39H. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the size of the communication hole 38 is such that the game balls can pass one by one, so it is difficult for the game ball to enter the communication hole 38 in the first place.
なお、誘導路３９の延長線上に、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａを一部に有する装飾部材１５の下端寄り部分が配置される。ここで、図５及び図６に示されるように、装飾部材１５は、その前面を構成する装飾プレート１５Ｐが右側壁１５Ｒに対して張り出した構造になっている。言い換えれば、装飾部材１５の右側壁１５Ｒは、装飾プレート１５Ｐの右側の端縁に対して、左側へ奥まって配置されている。これにより、誘導路３９の末端と装飾部材１５との間で遊技球が流下可能なスペースを大きくすることが可能となり、誘導路３９を通過してきた遊技球をスムーズに流下させることが可能となる。なお、仮に、装飾プレート１５Ｐの右側の端縁を装飾部材１５の右側壁１５Ｒに合わせると、装飾プレート１５Ｐの面積が小さくなってしまい、装飾プレート１５Ｐの装飾機能低下を招く可能性がある。また、本実施形態では、装飾プレート１５Ｐが左右対称に形成されているが、装飾プレート１５Ｐの右側の端縁を装飾部材１５の右側壁１５Ｒに合わせると、装飾プレート１５Ｐが左右非対称となり、装飾プレート１５Ｐの美観を損ねる可能性がある。 In addition, on the extension of the guide path 39, a portion near the lower end of the decorative member 15 partially having the first start winning hole 14A is disposed. Here, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the decoration member 15 has a structure in which a decoration plate 15P constituting the front surface thereof is projected to the right side wall 15R. In other words, the right side wall 15R of the decorative member 15 is disposed to the left on the right side of the edge of the decorative plate 15P. This makes it possible to increase the space in which the gaming ball can flow down between the end of the guiding path 39 and the decorative member 15, and allows the gaming ball having passed through the guiding path 39 to flow smoothly down. . If the edge on the right side of the decorative plate 15P is aligned with the right side wall 15R of the decorative member 15, the area of the decorative plate 15P may be reduced, and the decorative function of the decorative plate 15P may be degraded. Further, in the present embodiment, the decorative plate 15P is formed in left-right symmetry, but when the end edge of the right side of the decorative plate 15P is aligned with the right side wall 15R of the decorative member 15, the decorative plate 15P becomes left-right asymmetric. It may impair the beauty of 15P.
図３及び図８に示されるように、第２大入賞口５１Ｋは、仕切り壁３４に隣接する。具体的には、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの上端寄り部分が連通孔３８の真横に配置される。ここで、仮に、図９に示されるように、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備えない構成になっていると、第２開閉扉５１が回動して第２大入賞口５１Ｋが開放されたときに、第２開閉扉５１に受け止められた遊技球が第２開閉扉５１の左側へ流下することが困難となり、第２大入賞口５１Ｋへの入球が著しく容易になる。しかしながら、本実施形態では、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備えることにより、第２開閉扉５１に受け止められた遊技球が第２開閉扉５１の左側へ流下可能となり、第２大入賞口５１Ｋへの過度な入球が抑制される。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, the second large winning opening 51 </ b> K is adjacent to the partition wall 34. Specifically, a portion close to the upper end of the second large winning opening 51K is disposed just beside the communication hole 38. Here, temporarily, as shown in FIG. 9, when the partition wall 34 is configured not to include the communication hole 38, the second opening and closing door 51 is pivoted and the second big winning opening 51K is opened. Sometimes, it becomes difficult for the game ball received by the second opening / closing door 51 to flow down to the left side of the second opening / closing door 51, and entering the second large winning opening 51K becomes extremely easy. However, in the present embodiment, since the partition wall 34 includes the communication hole 38, the gaming ball received by the second opening and closing door 51 can flow down to the left of the second opening and closing door 51, and to the second large winning opening 51K. Excessive entry of the ball is suppressed.
また、連通孔３８の有無は、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入口の大きさを変化させる。ここで、入賞口の入口は、「入賞口又は当該入賞口に連なる遊技釘等（遊技部材）で構成される遊技球の流下経路のうち、入賞口から最も離れた位置にあるもの」で定義され、「入賞口に連なる遊技釘等」とは、遊技釘間を遊技球が通過できないように遊技釘等を連続配置したもののことをいう。また、入賞口の入口を定義する際には、「入賞口内に、当該入賞口に連なる遊技釘等（遊技部材）に連なっていない遊技釘があってはならない」という条件を満たす必要がある。本実施形態では、第２開閉扉５１及び仕切り壁３４が、「入賞口に連なる遊技釘等」に相当する。 Further, the presence or absence of the communication hole 38 changes the size of the inlet of the second large winning opening 51K. Here, the entrance of the winning opening is defined as "the winning path or the flow path of the gaming ball consisting of game nails (game members) connected to the winning port, which is located farthest from the winning opening". The term "game nails or the like connected to the winning opening" means that game nails or the like are continuously arranged so that the game balls can not pass between the game nails. In addition, when defining the entrance of the winning opening, it is necessary to satisfy the condition that "in the winning opening, there should not be game nails not connected to the game nail or the like (game member) connected to the winning port". In the present embodiment, the second opening / closing door 51 and the partition wall 34 correspond to “a game nail or the like connected to the winning opening”.
本実施形態のように、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備える場合、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入り口は以下のように定義される。即ち、図８に示されるように、前倒しにされた第２開閉扉５１の右端位置を右端位置Ｐ０とし、その右端位置Ｐ０から水平に延ばした線分Ｈ１（図８に示す二点鎖線）と仕切り壁３４との交点を交差点Ｐ１とする。そして、交差点Ｐ１が仕切り壁３４に沿って上側に移動するように、線分Ｈ１を第２開閉扉５１の右端位置Ｐ０を中心に時計方向に回動させると、線分Ｈ１が連通孔３８の下端縁と交わる。このときの線分Ｈ１が第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入賞境界線分Ｎ１となり、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの実質的な入口となる。 When the partition wall 34 includes the communication hole 38 as in the present embodiment, the entrance of the second large winning opening 51K is defined as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, with the right end position of the second opening / closing door 51 turned forward as the right end position P0, a line segment H1 (two-dot chain line shown in FIG. 8) horizontally extended from the right end position P0 An intersection point with the partition wall 34 is referred to as an intersection point P1. Then, when the line segment H1 is rotated clockwise about the right end position P0 of the second opening / closing door 51 so that the intersection P1 moves upward along the partition wall 34, the line segment H1 is Cross the bottom edge. The line segment H1 at this time becomes the winning boundary line segment N1 of the second large winning opening 51K, and becomes a substantial entrance of the second large winning opening 51K.
他方、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備えない場合、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入り口は以下のように定義される。即ち、先の説明と同様にして、図９に示されるように、前倒しにされた第２開閉扉５１の右端位置を右端位置Ｐ０とし、その右端位置Ｐ０から水平に伸ばした線分Ｈ１（図９に示す二点鎖線）と仕切り壁３４との交点を交差点Ｐ１とする。そして、交差点Ｐ１が仕切り壁３４、表示装飾枠２３のブロック部２３Ｂ及びブロック部２３Ｂに連なる遊技釘７１群に沿って上側に移動するように、線分Ｈ１を第２開閉扉１の右端位置Ｐ０を中心にして時計方向に回動させると、線分Ｈ１が、遊技釘７１群との間に左側の球落下口２５Ａを形成する遊技釘７２Ａに接する。このとき、線分Ｈ１は、表示装飾枠２３のブロック部２３Ｂに連なる遊技釘７１群のうち遊技釘７１Ａと交わる。そして、このときの線分Ｈ１が第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入賞境界線分Ｎ２となり、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの実質的な入り口となる。 On the other hand, when the partition wall 34 does not include the communication hole 38, the entrance of the second large winning opening 51K is defined as follows. That is, similarly to the above description, as shown in FIG. 9, the right end position of the second open / close door 51 turned forward is the right end position P0, and a segment H1 horizontally extended from the right end position P0 (see FIG. An intersection point of the two-dot chain line 9 shown in 9 and the partition wall 34 is taken as an intersection point P1. Then, the line segment H1 is moved to the upper end position P0 of the second door 1 so that the intersection P1 moves upward along the group of game nails 71 connected to the partition wall 34, the block portion 23B of the display decoration frame 23 and the block portion 23B. And the line segment H1 contacts the game nail 72A which forms the ball drop opening 25A on the left side between the game nail 71 group and the game nail 71 group. At this time, the line segment H1 intersects with the game nail 71A in the group of game nails 71 connected to the block portion 23B of the display decoration frame 23. Then, the line segment H1 at this time becomes the winning boundary line segment N2 of the second large winning opening 51K, and becomes a substantial entrance of the second large winning opening 51K.
図８と図９の比較から明らかなように、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備えない場合の第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入口（図９の入賞境界線分Ｎ２を参照）は、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備える場合の第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入口（図８の入賞境界線分Ｎ１を参照）よりも小さくなる。ここで、大入賞口の入口の大きさは、５５ｍｍを越え１３５ｍｍ以下に規定されているため、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備えない場合には、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入口が上記の範囲外となって、第２大入賞口５１Ｋが大入賞口に該当しなくなる可能性がある。本実施形態では、仕切り壁３４が連通孔３８を備えることで、第２大入賞口５１Ｋの入口の大きさが上記の範囲内となり、第２大入賞口５１Ｋが大入賞口に該当するようになっている。 As is clear from the comparison between FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the entrance (see the winning boundary line segment N2 of FIG. 9) of the second large winning opening 51K when the dividing wall 34 is not provided with the communication hole 38 is the dividing wall 34. Is smaller than the entrance of the second large winning opening 51K when the communication hole 38 is provided (see the winning boundary line segment N1 in FIG. 8). Here, since the size of the entrance of the big winning opening is defined to be more than 55 mm and 135 mm or less, when the partition wall 34 is not provided with the communication hole 38, the entrance of the second big winning opening 51K is the above. It is out of the range, and there is a possibility that the second large winning opening 51K will not correspond to the large winning opening. In the present embodiment, the partition wall 34 includes the communication hole 38, so that the size of the entrance of the second large winning opening 51K falls within the above range, and the second large winning opening 51K corresponds to the large winning opening. It has become.
本実施形態の遊技機１０の構成では、第１領域ＲＦ（詳細には、下側左領域Ｒ４Ａ）と第２領域ＲＳ（詳細には、下側右領域Ｒ４Ｂ）の間で遊技球の行き来が仕切り壁３４によって抑制されるので、第１領域ＲＦ（詳細には、左側領域Ｒ２）に打ち込まれた遊技球が第２の始動入賞口１４Ｂ又は第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃに入球したり、第２領域ＲＳ（詳細には、右側領域Ｒ３）に打ち込まれた遊技球が第１の始動入賞口１４Ａに入球したりすることが抑制される。これにより、打ち分けによる遊技の趣向性の低減が抑制される。特に、遊技機１０では、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａと第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃは、常時開放した構造になっているので、第１の始動入賞口１４Ａと第３の始動入賞口１４Ｃの打ち分けが遊技者の趣向に依ることになり、その遊技者の趣向を損ねることが抑制される。 In the configuration of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the game balls travel between the first area RF (specifically, the lower left area R4A) and the second area RS (specifically, the lower right area R4B).
