Then, between the first flow path constituting body 110 and the second flow path constituting body 120, there is formed a reverse L-shaped flow path through which game balls can pass one by one. The second flow path 102 is formed.

なお、上側張出部122の左側面は、第1流路構成体110の本体部111の右側面と略平行に形成されている。また、左側張出部123の上面は、本体部121の上面と面一になっていて、第1流路構成体110の本体部111の下面と略平行になっている。   Note that the left side surface of the upper overhang portion 122 is formed substantially parallel to the right side surface of the main body portion 111 of the first flow path structure 110. Further, the upper surface of the left overhanging portion 123 is flush with the upper surface of the main body portion 121 and is substantially parallel to the lower surface of the main body portion 111 of the first flow path constituting body 110.

第2流路構成体120の本体部121の上面と左側張出部123の上面は、第2流路102内の遊技球を受け止めて左側へ転動させる上側転動面120Mを形成する。また、第2流路構成体120の左側張出部123と第1流路構成体110の垂下部112Cとの間には、上側転動面120Mの上を転動してきた遊技球を1つずつ落下可能な落下口102Kが形成されている。   The upper surface of the main body 121 and the upper surface of the left overhang portion 123 of the second flow path structure 120 form an upper rolling surface 120M that receives the game ball in the second flow path 102 and rolls it to the left. Further, one game ball that has rolled on the upper rolling surface 120M is provided between the left side overhanging portion 123 of the second flow path structure 120 and the hanging part 112C of the first flow path structure 110. A drop opening 102K that can be dropped one by one is formed.

第2流路構成体120の本体部121には、左側に開口する凹部121Aが形成されている。凹部121Aの開口端寄り位置には、上述した第2始動入賞口14BKとしての球検出センサが備えられている。第2始動入賞装置14Bの始動可変部材14BTは、第1流路構成体110の誘導壁部112と第2始動入賞口14BKとの間に配置され、始動突出位置に配置されたときに落下口102Kから落ちてくる遊技球を受け止め可能となっている。   The main body 121 of the second flow path structure 120 is formed with a recess 121A that opens to the left. Near the opening end of the recess 121A, the above-described ball detection sensor as the second start winning opening 14BK is provided. The start variable member 14BT of the second start winning device 14B is disposed between the guide wall portion 112 of the first flow path constituting body 110 and the second start winning port 14BK, and when the start variable member 14BT is disposed at the start projecting position, the drop opening is formed. A game ball falling from 102K can be received.

図3に示されるように、始動可変部材14BTに受け止められなかった遊技球は、第1流路構成体110及び第2流路構成体120の下方に設けられた第3流路構成体130に受け止められる。第3流路構成体130は、右側に尖った三角形状をなして、右下がりに傾斜する下側転動面130Mを上部に有する。第3流路構成体130とガイドレール12との間には、遊技球が通過可能な落下口105が形成されている。第3流路構成体130は、表示装飾枠23の装飾対向壁部23Wに隣接し、下側転動面130Mは、第1流路101を流下してきた遊技球も受け止め可能となっている。   As shown in FIG. 3, the game balls that have not been received by the starting variable member 14BT are transferred to the third flow path structure 130 provided below the first flow path structure 110 and the second flow path structure 120. It is accepted. The third flow path structure 130 has a triangular shape that is pointed to the right and has a lower rolling surface 130 </ b> M that slopes downward to the right. A drop port 105 through which a game ball can pass is formed between the third flow path constituting body 130 and the guide rail 12. The third flow path constituting body 130 is adjacent to the decorative facing wall portion 23W of the display decorative frame 23, and the lower rolling surface 130M can also receive the game ball flowing down the first flow path 101.

なお、遊技盤11の前面には、第2流路構成体120の上側転動面120Mの上を転動する遊技球と第3流路構成体130の下側転動面130Mの上を転動する遊技球の勢いを低減するための複数の減勢突部104が設けられている。   Note that a game ball that rolls on the upper rolling surface 120M of the second flow path structure 120 and a lower rolling surface 130M of the third flow path structure 130 are rolled on the front surface of the game board 11. A plurality of depressing protrusions 104 are provided to reduce the momentum of the moving game ball.

このように、本実施形態の遊技機10では、始動突出位置に配置された始動可変部材14BTが、落下口102Kから落下する遊技球を受け止めて、第2始動入賞口14BKに誘導する構成となっている。この構成では、始動可変部材14BTは、上側転動面120Mの上を左側へ転動してきた遊技球を受け止めて、その遊技球を右側へ折り返させることになるので、第2始動入賞口14BKへの入球ルートが横長になることが抑えられ、第2始動入賞口14BKの設置自由度の向上が図られる。また、遊技機10では、図3に示されるように、始動突出位置に配置された始動可変部材14BTに左側から表示装飾枠23の装飾対向壁部23Wが対向するので、遊技球が始動可変部材14BTの上に左側から転動してくることが抑制される。言い換えれば、落下口102Kを通過しない遊技球が第2始動入賞口14BKに入球することが抑制され、第2始動入賞口14BKへの入球ルートが絞られる。   Thus, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the start variable member 14BT disposed at the start projecting position receives the game ball falling from the drop port 102K and guides it to the second start winning port 14BK. ing. In this configuration, the start variable member 14BT receives the game ball that has rolled to the left on the upper rolling surface 120M and returns the game ball to the right side. Is prevented from being horizontally long, and the degree of freedom of installation of the second start winning opening 14BK is improved. Further, in the gaming machine 10, as shown in FIG. 3, the decoration facing wall portion 23W of the display decorative frame 23 faces the start variable member 14BT arranged at the start projecting position from the left side. Rolling from the left side onto 14BT is suppressed. In other words, the game balls that do not pass through the drop opening 102K are prevented from entering the second start winning opening 14BK, and the entering route to the second start winning opening 14BK is narrowed.

また、遊技機10では、始動可変部材14BTの左側に配置される誘導壁部112の垂下部112Cは、直線部112A及び湾曲部112Bよりも遊技盤11からの突出量が小さくなっていて、垂下部112Cとその左側に位置する装飾対向壁部23Wとの間には、遊技球が1つずつ通過可能な第1流路101が形成されている。従って、始動可変部材14BTに受け止められた遊技球が左側、即ち、第1流路101側に落ちる可能性もあり、始動可変部材14BTに受け止められた遊技球の転動方向について遊技者に興味を持たせることが可能となる。   Further, in the gaming machine 10, the drooping portion 112C of the guide wall portion 112 disposed on the left side of the start variable member 14BT has a smaller amount of protrusion from the game board 11 than the straight portion 112A and the curved portion 112B. Between the portion 112C and the decorative facing wall portion 23W located on the left side, a first flow path 101 through which game balls can pass one by one is formed. Therefore, the game ball received by the start variable member 14BT may fall to the left side, that is, the first flow path 101 side, and the player is interested in the rolling direction of the game ball received by the start variable member 14BT. It is possible to have it.

また、遊技機10では、始動可変部材14BTが始動退避位置に配置されたときには、落下口102Kから落下する遊技球は、始動可変部材14BTに受け止められることなく、その下方に配置された第3流路構成体130の下側転動面130Mに受け止められる。このように、始動可変部材14BTが始動突出位置に配置されるか、始動退避位置に配置されるかによって、第2流路102を流下してきた遊技球の行先を変化させることが可能となり、趣向性の向上を図ることが可能となる。しかも、下側転動面130Mは、右下がりに傾斜するので、第2始動入賞口14BTに入球しなかった遊技球についても右側に折り返させることが可能となる。   Further, in the gaming machine 10, when the start variable member 14BT is disposed at the start retreat position, the game ball falling from the drop opening 102K is not received by the start variable member 14BT, and is disposed below the third flow. It is received by the lower rolling surface 130M of the path structure 130. Thus, the destination of the game ball flowing down the second flow path 102 can be changed depending on whether the start variable member 14BT is disposed at the start projecting position or the start retracting position. It is possible to improve the performance. Moreover, since the lower rolling surface 130M is inclined downwardly to the right, it is possible to cause the game ball that has not entered the second start winning opening 14BT to be folded back to the right side.

また、遊技機10では、落下口102Kが、第2流路構成体120において上側転動面120Mを形成する左側張出部123と、第1流路構成体110の誘導壁部112と、の間に形成されているので、上側転動面120Mの上を転動してきた遊技球を誘導壁部112に衝突させて落下口102Kに誘導し易くなる。また、誘導壁部112は、左下がりに湾曲する湾曲部102Bを有するので、上側転動路120Mを転動してきた遊技球をスムーズに落下口102Kへと誘導することが可能となる。   Further, in the gaming machine 10, the drop opening 102 </ b> K includes a left-side extended portion 123 that forms the upper rolling surface 120 </ b> M in the second flow path configuration body 120, and a guide wall portion 112 of the first flow path configuration body 110. Since it is formed in the middle, it becomes easy for the game ball that has rolled on the upper rolling surface 120M to collide with the guide wall 112 and be guided to the drop port 102K. In addition, since the guide wall portion 112 has the curved portion 102B that curves downwardly to the left, it is possible to smoothly guide the game ball that has rolled on the upper rolling path 120M to the drop opening 102K.

[第2始動入賞口14BKへの入球規制]
遊技機10では、始動可変部材14BTが始動退避位置に配置された状態での第2始動入賞口14BKへの入球を規制するために、始動可変部材14BTが以下の構成を採っている。即ち、始動可変部材14BTは、図4及び図5に示されるように、ベース部141と、該ベース部141から前側に張り出した前側張出部142と、前側張出部142の前端部から上側に突出する規制突部143と、を備えている。そして、始動可変部材14BTが始動退避位置に配置されると(図4参照)、規制突部143は、第2始動入賞口14BKに左側から重なって入球を規制する。始動可変部材14BTが始動突出位置に配置されると(図5参照)、規制突部143は、第2始動入賞口14BKよりも前側に配置されて入球を許容する。
[Regulation of entering the second starting prize opening 14BK]
In the gaming machine 10, the start variable member 14BT has the following configuration in order to restrict the ball entering the second start winning opening 14BK in a state where the start variable member 14BT is disposed at the start retracted position. That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the starting variable member 14 </ b> BT includes a base portion 141, a front protruding portion 142 protruding to the front side from the base portion 141, and an upper side from the front end portion of the front protruding portion 142. And a restricting protrusion 143 that protrudes toward the center. When the start variable member 14BT is disposed at the start retracted position (see FIG. 4), the restricting protrusion 143 overlaps the second start winning opening 14BK from the left side and restricts the entry. When the start variable member 14BT is disposed at the start protrusion position (see FIG. 5), the restricting protrusion 143 is disposed on the front side of the second start winning opening 14BK and allows the ball to enter.

詳細には、図6(A)に示されるように、ベース部141は、平面視略矩形状に形成されていて、前側張出部142は、ベース部141の右端寄り部分から張り出している。なお、図6(B)に示されるように、ベース部141は、右下がりに傾斜する板状部分を主要部として備えている。   Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6A, the base portion 141 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and the front projecting portion 142 projects from a portion near the right end of the base portion 141. As shown in FIG. 6B, the base portion 141 includes a plate-like portion that is inclined downward to the right as a main portion.

図6(A)に示されるように、前側張出部142は、右側へ向かうにつれてベース部141からの突出量が大きくなった迫出部142Aと、迫出部142Aから右側に延設されてベース部141からの突出量が一定となった帯部142Bと、からなる。迫出部142Aの左側を向く端縁部は、右側へ向かうにつれて前側を向くように湾曲した円弧状に形成されている。なお、ベース部141と帯部142Bは、右端を揃えて配置されている。また、ベース部141及び迫出部142Aによって形成されるL字状部分の内縁部の上面は、そのL字の内側へ向かって下るように傾斜している(図6(C)参照)。   As shown in FIG. 6A, the front projecting portion 142 is extended to the right from the projecting portion 142A in which the amount of protrusion from the base portion 141 increases toward the right side, and from the projecting portion 142A. A belt portion 142B having a constant protruding amount from the base portion 141. An end edge portion facing the left side of the protruding portion 142A is formed in an arc shape that is curved so as to face the front side toward the right side. The base portion 141 and the belt portion 142B are arranged with their right ends aligned. In addition, the upper surface of the inner edge portion of the L-shaped portion formed by the base portion 141 and the protruding portion 142A is inclined so as to descend toward the inside of the L-shape (see FIG. 6C).

図6(A)及び図6(B)に示されるように、規制突部143は、前側張出部142の帯部142Bに突設されている。図6(C)に示されるように、規制突部143は、上側へ向かうにつれて前後に狭くなる略台形状に形成されていて、規制突部143の前面143Fは、略鉛直に配置され、規制突部143の後面143Bは、下側へ向かうにつれて徐々に後側を向くように湾曲した円弧状に形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the restricting protrusion 143 protrudes from the band 142 </ b> B of the front projecting portion 142. As shown in FIG. 6C, the restriction protrusion 143 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape that narrows back and forth as it goes upward, and the front surface 143F of the restriction protrusion 143 is disposed substantially vertically, The rear surface 143B of the protrusion 143 is formed in an arc shape that is curved so as to gradually face the rear side as it goes downward.

図6(A)〜図6(C)に示されるように、規制突部143の上面143Jは、左右方向の略中央で尖った山状に形成されていて、峰部144と、峰部144の左側で左下がりに傾斜した左向き傾斜部144Lと、峰部144の右側で右下がりに傾斜した右向き傾斜部144Rと、からなる。また、規制突部143の後面143Bも、上面143Jと同様に、左右方向の略中央で尖った山状に形成されていて、峰部145と、峰部145の左側で左下がりに傾斜した左向き傾斜部145Lと、峰部145の右側で右下がりに傾斜した右向き傾斜部145Rと、からなる。峰部145は、上面143Jの峰部144に連絡する。このように、規制突部143において上側を向く部分を構成する上面143Jと後面143Bは共に、左右方向の略中央で尖った山状に形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, the upper surface 143 </ b> J of the restricting protrusion 143 is formed in a mountain shape that is pointed substantially at the center in the left-right direction, and includes a peak portion 144 and a peak portion 144. Leftwardly inclined portion 144L inclined leftward on the left side and rightwardly inclined portion 144R inclined rightwardly on the right side of peak portion 144. Similarly to the upper surface 143J, the rear surface 143B of the restricting protrusion 143 is also formed in a pointed mountain shape at the approximate center in the left-right direction, and the left side of the peak portion 145 and the left side of the peak portion 145 is inclined leftward. It consists of an inclined part 145L and a rightwardly inclined part 145R that is inclined to the right on the right side of the peak part 145. The peak portion 145 communicates with the peak portion 144 of the upper surface 143J. As described above, both the upper surface 143J and the rear surface 143B constituting the upwardly facing portion of the restricting protrusion 143 are formed in a mountain shape that is pointed substantially at the center in the left-right direction.

図4に示されるように、始動可変部材14BTが始動退避位置に配置された状態では、ベース部141が遊技盤11の前面より後側に配置され、前側張出部142の一部が遊技盤11の前面より前側に飛び出る。ここで、図4(A)に示されるように、前側張出部142のうち遊技盤11より前側に突出する部分は、図3で示した落下口102K(図4(A)では2点鎖線で示されている。)よりも左側に配置される。従って、落下口102Kから落下した遊技球が始動可変部材14BTに受け止められることがない。   As shown in FIG. 4, in the state where the start variable member 14BT is disposed at the start retracted position, the base portion 141 is disposed rearward from the front surface of the game board 11, and a part of the front projecting portion 142 is part of the game board. 11 jumps out from the front of the front. Here, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), the portion of the front projecting portion 142 that projects forward from the game board 11 is the drop opening 102K shown in FIG. 3 (two-dot chain line in FIG. 4 (A)). It is arranged on the left side of Therefore, the game ball dropped from the drop opening 102K is not received by the start variable member 14BT.

始動可変部材14BTが始動退避位置に配置された状態では、規制突部143は、横方向から見て第2始動入賞口14BKの中央部と重なるように配置される(図4(B)参照)。具体的には、規制突部143の突出高さは、遊技球1/2個分となっていて、規制突部143の上端部が第2始動入賞口14BKの中央部に重ねられる。これにより、第2始動入賞口14BKへの遊技球の入球が規制される。   In a state in which the start variable member 14BT is disposed at the start retracted position, the restricting protrusion 143 is disposed so as to overlap with the central portion of the second start winning opening 14BK as viewed from the side (see FIG. 4B). . Specifically, the protruding height of the restricting protrusion 143 is half of the game ball, and the upper end of the restricting protrusion 143 is overlapped with the center of the second start winning opening 14BK. This restricts the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening 14BK.

図5に示されるように、始動可変部材14BTが始動突出位置に配置されると、ベース部141が遊技盤11の前面より前側に飛び出して遊技球を受け止め可能となり、遊技盤11に前側から対向するフロントカバー146とベース部141との間の間隔が遊技球の半径より小さくなる。従って、始動可変部材14BTが始動突出位置に配置された状態では、ベース部141によって受け止められた遊技球がベース部141の前側に落ちることがなくなる。   As shown in FIG. 5, when the start variable member 14BT is arranged at the start projecting position, the base portion 141 jumps forward from the front surface of the game board 11 and can receive the game ball, and faces the game board 11 from the front side. The distance between the front cover 146 and the base portion 141 is smaller than the radius of the game ball. Therefore, in a state where the start variable member 14BT is disposed at the start projecting position, the game ball received by the base portion 141 does not fall to the front side of the base portion 141.

始動可変部材14BTが始動突出位置に配置された状態では、前側張出部142の前端部と規制突部143が、フロントカバー146に形成された収容孔146Aの中に収容される(図5(B)参照)。そして、規制突部143は、第2始動入賞口14BKよりも前側に配置され、横方向から見て第2始動入賞口14BKと重ならなくなる。これにより、第2始動入賞口14BKへの遊技球の入球が許容される。   In a state where the start variable member 14BT is disposed at the start projecting position, the front end portion of the front projecting portion 142 and the restricting projecting portion 143 are accommodated in the accommodating hole 146A formed in the front cover 146 (FIG. 5 ( B)). And the control protrusion 143 is arrange | positioned ahead of 2nd start winning opening 14BK, and it does not overlap with 2nd starting winning opening 14BK seeing from a horizontal direction. Thereby, a game ball is allowed to enter the second start winning opening 14BK.

なお、ベース部141は、遊技盤11を前後に貫通する組付孔140Aに挿通されている(図4(A)参照)。組付孔140Aの右端部は、規制突部143を収容可能な大きさに形成されていて(図4(B)参照)、始動可変部材14Bは、遊技盤11の後側から組付孔140Aに組み付け可能となっている。   Note that the base portion 141 is inserted through an assembly hole 140A penetrating the game board 11 back and forth (see FIG. 4A). The right end portion of the assembly hole 140A is formed in a size that can accommodate the restricting protrusion 143 (see FIG. 4B), and the start variable member 14B is assembled from the rear side of the game board 11 to the assembly hole 140A. Can be assembled to.

[始動可変部材14Bによる球噛み対策]
本実施形態では、始動可変部材14BKが始動突出位置(図5参照)から始動退避位置(図4参照)へ移動するときに、始動可変部材14BKの上を転動中の遊技球が規制突部143と遊技盤11の前面に挟まれて、球噛みする可能性がある。この球噛みの対策として、本実施形態では、まず、規制突部143の後面143Bに峰部145が設けられることで、規制突部143と遊技盤11の前面との間に挟まれた遊技球が左右の何れか一方に移動し易くなっている。
[Countermeasure against ball biting by starting variable member 14B]
In the present embodiment, when the start variable member 14BK moves from the start protruding position (see FIG. 5) to the start retracted position (see FIG. 4), the game ball rolling on the start variable member 14BK is restricted. 143 and the front of the game board 11 may be caught between the balls. As a measure against this biting of the ball, in the present embodiment, first, a game ball sandwiched between the restriction protrusion 143 and the front surface of the game board 11 by providing a peak 145 on the rear surface 143B of the restriction protrusion 143. Is easy to move to either the left or right.

ところで、規制突部143に峰部145を備えていても、例えば、峰部145の真後ろに遊技球の中心が配置されていると、峰部145と遊技盤11の前面との間に遊技球が挟まれて、球噛みする可能性がある。この球噛みを解決するための第1の手段として、本実施形態では、図7(B)に示されるように、規制突部143の後面143Bの峰部145は、その最下部における曲率半径が遊技球の半径より大きくなるように形成されている。ここで、峰部145の最下部における曲率半径が遊技球の半径より小さくなっていると、図9(A)から図9(B)への変化に示されるように、始動可変部材14BTが始動退避位置に移動するときに遊技盤11と規制突部143の間に挟まれた遊技球は、遊技盤11の前面と、始動可変部材14BTのベース部141と、規制突部143の後面143Bの峰部145と、の3点で支持されることになり、該遊技球が左右方向に移動し難くなり、球噛みし易くなる。これに対し、本実施形態では、峰部145の最下部における曲率半径が遊技球の半径より大きくなっているので、図8(B)に示されるように、始動可変部材14BTが始動退避位置に移動するときに遊技盤11と規制突部143の間に挟まれた遊技球は、始動可変部材14BTの移動に伴って規制突部143の峰部145にすくい上げられる。その結果、遊技球は、遊技盤11の前面と峰部の2点で支持されることになり、図9に示した場合よりも該遊技球が左右方向に移動し易くなり、球噛みが発生し難くなる。   By the way, even if the restricting protrusion 143 includes the peak portion 145, for example, if the center of the game ball is arranged immediately behind the peak portion 145, the game ball is between the peak portion 145 and the front surface of the game board 11. There is a possibility that the ball will be pinched and bite. As a first means for solving this ball biting, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7B, the ridge 145 of the rear surface 143B of the restricting projection 143 has a radius of curvature at the bottom. It is formed to be larger than the radius of the game ball. Here, if the radius of curvature at the bottom of the peak portion 145 is smaller than the radius of the game ball, the start variable member 14BT is started as shown in the change from FIG. 9 (A) to FIG. 9 (B). The game balls sandwiched between the game board 11 and the restriction projection 143 when moving to the retreat position are the front surface of the game board 11, the base portion 141 of the start variable member 14BT, and the rear face 143B of the restriction projection 143. It will be supported at the three points of the peak portion 145, and the game ball will be difficult to move in the left-right direction, and it will be easier to bite the ball. On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the radius of curvature at the bottom of the peak portion 145 is larger than the radius of the game ball, the start variable member 14BT is at the start retracted position as shown in FIG. The game ball sandwiched between the game board 11 and the restriction protrusion 143 when moving is scooped up to the peak part 145 of the restriction protrusion 143 with the movement of the start variable member 14BT. As a result, the game ball is supported at two points, the front surface and the peak portion of the game board 11, and the game ball is easier to move in the horizontal direction than in the case shown in FIG. It becomes difficult to do.

第1の手段と同様の効果を奏する別の構成としては、規制突部143の後面143B(峰部145)を後下がりに傾斜した傾斜面とする構成が挙げられる。なお、上述のように、後面143Bが湾曲面となっている構成では、規制突部143を高くしつつ、始動可変部材14BTが始動突出位置に配置されたときに規制突部143を第2始動入賞口14BKよりも前側に配置することが容易となる。   As another configuration that achieves the same effect as the first means, there is a configuration in which the rear surface 143B (peak portion 145) of the regulation protrusion 143 is an inclined surface inclined downward. As described above, in the configuration in which the rear surface 143B is a curved surface, when the start variable member 14BT is disposed at the start projecting position while the restricting protrusion 143 is raised, the restricting protrusion 143 is second-started. It becomes easy to arrange in front of the winning opening 14BK.

本実施形態では、第1の手段に次ぐ第2の手段として、規制突部143の峰部145にすくい上げられた遊技球と当接して、その遊技球を左右方向の何れか一方にずらす球当接部150を備えている。図7(A)及び図8(A)に示されるように、球当接部150は、第2流路構成体120の本体部121のうち、規制突部143に上側から対向する壁部、具体的には、本体部121のうち収容部121Aの天井壁121Tから下側に突出した当接突部151で構成されている。   In the present embodiment, as a second means following the first means, a ball contact that comes into contact with the game ball scooped up at the peak portion 145 of the regulating projection 143 and shifts the game ball in either the left or right direction. A contact portion 150 is provided. As shown in FIG. 7A and FIG. 8A, the ball contact portion 150 is a wall portion of the main body portion 121 of the second flow path structure 120 that faces the restriction protrusion 143 from above, Specifically, the main body 121 includes a contact protrusion 151 that protrudes downward from the ceiling wall 121T of the housing 121A.

ここで、当接突部151の突出量は、始動可変部材14BTの始動退避位置への移動に伴って規制突部143の峰部145によってすくい上げられた遊技球が天井壁121Tに衝突する前に該遊技球と当接する大きさに設定されている。また、図7(A)に示されるように、当接突部151は、規制突部143(詳細には、規制突部143の峰部145)に対して左右方向にずれて配置されている。これにより、峰部145によってすくい上げられた遊技球を左右方向の何れか一方に移動させることが可能となり、球噛みが抑制される。なお、図7(A)の例では、当接突部151は、規制突部143に対して第2始動入賞口14BKに近い側に配置されているが、遠い側に配置されてもよい。   Here, the amount of protrusion of the contact protrusion 151 is such that the game ball scooped up by the peak portion 145 of the restricting protrusion 143 collides with the ceiling wall 121T as the start variable member 14BT moves to the start retracted position. The size is set so as to be in contact with the game ball. Further, as shown in FIG. 7A, the contact protrusion 151 is arranged to be shifted in the left-right direction with respect to the restriction protrusion 143 (specifically, the peak 145 of the restriction protrusion 143). . Thereby, it becomes possible to move the game ball scooped up by the peak part 145 to any one of the left-right direction, and a ball biting is suppressed. In the example of FIG. 7A, the contact protrusion 151 is disposed on the side closer to the second start winning prize opening 14BK with respect to the restriction protrusion 143, but may be disposed on the far side.

また、図7(B)に示されるように、当接突部151は、左右方向から見て第2始動入賞口14BKと重ならないように配置されている。これにより、当接突部151が第2始動入賞口14BKへの入球の妨げになることが防がれている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, the contact protrusion 151 is disposed so as not to overlap the second start winning opening 14BK when viewed from the left-right direction. This prevents the contact protrusion 151 from interfering with the ball entering the second start winning opening 14BK.

なお、本実施形態では、当接突部151は、棒状に形成されているが、半球状に形成されてもよいし、板状に形成されてもよい。後者の場合、当接突部151は、遊技盤11の前面に連絡してもよい。   In the present embodiment, the contact protrusion 151 is formed in a rod shape, but may be formed in a hemispherical shape or a plate shape. In the latter case, the contact protrusion 151 may communicate with the front surface of the game board 11.

本実施形態の遊技機10によれば、規制突部143と遊技盤11の前面との間に挟まれた遊技球が球当接部150によって横方向にずらされるので、球噛みが抑制される。しかも、球当接部150は、規制突部143に上側から対向する天井壁121Tに突設された当接突部151により構成されているので、規制突部143と遊技盤11の前面との間に挟まれた遊技球が規制突部143によって上側に持ち上げられた場合に、その遊技球に当接突部151が当接して該遊技球を横方向にずらすことが可能となる。また、この構成によれば、遊技盤11に形成された組付孔140Aとの関係で球当接部150を遊技盤11の前面に設けることができない場合であっても、球噛みを抑制することが可能となる。   According to the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the game ball sandwiched between the restricting protrusion 143 and the front surface of the game board 11 is shifted laterally by the ball contact portion 150, the ball biting is suppressed. . In addition, since the ball abutting portion 150 is configured by the abutting projection 151 projecting from the ceiling wall 121T facing the regulation projection 143 from above, the regulation projection 143 and the front surface of the game board 11 are arranged. When a game ball sandwiched therebetween is lifted upward by the restricting projection 143, the contact projection 151 comes into contact with the game ball, and the game ball can be shifted laterally. Further, according to this configuration, even when the ball contact portion 150 cannot be provided on the front surface of the game board 11 due to the assembly hole 140A formed in the game board 11, the ball biting is suppressed. It becomes possible.

[第2始動入賞口14BKへのイレギュラー入球対策]
上述したように、始動可変部材14BTが始動退避位置に配置された状態では、落下口102Kから落下した遊技球は、始動可変部材14BTに受け止められることなく、第3流路構成体130へ向かって落下する。ここで、始動可変部材14BTに受け止められなかった遊技球が、第3流路構成体130によって上側に跳ね返されても、通常は、上述した規制突部143によって第2始動入賞口14BKへの入球が規制される。しかしながら、遊技球が始動可変部材14BTより上側まで跳ね上がったタイミングで始動可変部材14BTが始動突出位置へと移動すると、その始動可変部材14BTに受け止められて第2始動入賞口14BKへ入球する可能性がある。即ち、第2始動入賞口14BKに入球しないはずの遊技球が跳ね返りによって入球してしまうイレギュラー入球が発生する可能性がある。
[Irregular entry measures to the 2nd start winning opening 14BK]
As described above, in the state in which the start variable member 14BT is disposed at the start retracted position, the game ball that has dropped from the drop port 102K is not received by the start variable member 14BT and is directed toward the third flow path constituting body 130. Fall. Here, even if the game ball that has not been received by the start variable member 14BT is bounced upward by the third flow path component 130, the entry into the second start winning opening 14BK is normally performed by the restriction protrusion 143 described above. The ball is regulated. However, if the start variable member 14BT moves to the start projecting position at the timing when the game ball jumps to the upper side from the start variable member 14BT, there is a possibility that the start variable member 14BT will receive the ball and enter the second start winning port 14BK. There is. In other words, there is a possibility that an irregular ball is entered in which a game ball that should not enter the second start winning opening 14BK rebounds.

本実施形態の遊技機10では、イレギュラー入球を抑制するための第1の手段として、図10及び図11(A)に示されるように、始動可変部材14BTに受け止められなかった遊技球を受け止める第3流路構成体130に、第2始動入賞口14BK側、即ち、右側とは異なる方向に遊技球を跳ね返す跳ね返し部161が設けられている。具体的には、第3流路構成体130の下側転動面130Mには、水平面に対して前後方向に傾斜して遊技球を前後方向に跳ね返す受止傾斜面162が設けられ、この受止傾斜面162によって跳ね返し部161が構成されている。本実施形態では、受止傾斜面162は、下側転動面130Mのうち遊技盤11に近い側の部分で前下がりに傾斜することで遊技球を斜め上前方に跳ね返すように構成されているが(図11(A)参照)、下側転動面130Mのうち遊技盤11から遠い側の部分で後下がりに傾斜することで遊技球を斜め上後方に跳ね返すように構成されてもよい。   In the gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, as a first means for suppressing irregular balls, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 (A), game balls that have not been received by the start variable member 14BT are used. The third flow path constituting body 130 to be received is provided with a rebound portion 161 for rebounding the game ball in a direction different from the second start winning opening 14BK side, that is, the right side. Specifically, the lower rolling surface 130M of the third flow path structure 130 is provided with a receiving inclined surface 162 that is inclined in the front-rear direction with respect to the horizontal plane and repels the game ball in the front-rear direction. The bounce portion 161 is configured by the stop inclined surface 162. In the present embodiment, the receiving inclined surface 162 is configured to rebound the game ball diagonally upward and forward by inclining forward and downward at a portion of the lower rolling surface 130M closer to the game board 11. However (see FIG. 11 (A)), the game ball may be rebounded diagonally upward and backward by inclining backward and downward at a portion of the lower rolling surface 130M far from the game board 11.

図3に示されるように、受止傾斜面162は、下側転動面130Mが延びる方向(即ち、下側転動面130Mによって遊技球が転動される方向)に沿って延在する。具体的には、落下口102Kの下方位置と第1流路101の下方位置の両方に跨って配置されている。   As shown in FIG. 3, the receiving inclined surface 162 extends along the direction in which the lower rolling surface 130M extends (that is, the direction in which the game ball is rolled by the lower rolling surface 130M). Specifically, it is disposed across both the lower position of the drop opening 102 </ b> K and the lower position of the first flow path 101.

なお、受止傾斜面162の水平面に対する傾斜角は、45度以上となっていて、受止傾斜面162によって跳ね返された遊技球は、図11(A)に示されるように、第2始動入賞口14BKと同じ高さまで跳ね返されるより前に、遊技盤11やフロントカバー146と衝突し易くなっている(遊技盤11には、フロントカバー146に跳ね返された遊技球が衝突する。)。そして、受止傾斜面162によって跳ね返された遊技球は、遊技盤11又はフロントカバー146との衝突により減勢されることで、第2始動入賞口14BKと同じ高さに到達し難くなっている。   The inclination angle of the receiving inclined surface 162 with respect to the horizontal plane is 45 degrees or more, and the game ball rebounded by the receiving inclined surface 162 is, as shown in FIG. It is easy to collide with the game board 11 and the front cover 146 before being rebounded to the same height as the mouth 14BK (the game ball rebounded to the front cover 146 collides with the game board 11). Then, the game ball bounced off by the receiving inclined surface 162 is reduced by collision with the game board 11 or the front cover 146, so that it is difficult to reach the same height as the second start winning opening 14BK. .

このように、本実施形態の遊技機10では、第3流路構成体130の下側転動面130Mに設けられた跳ね返し部161(受止傾斜面162)によって、第2始動入賞口14BKが位置する右側とは異なる方向(具体的には、前側)に遊技球を跳ね返すことができるので、遊技球が第2始動入賞口14BKに到達することが抑制される。これにより、第2始動入賞口14BKに入球しなかった遊技球が下側転動面130Mに跳ね返されて入球するイレギュラー入球が抑制される。   Thus, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the second start winning opening 14BK is formed by the rebound portion 161 (receiving inclined surface 162) provided on the lower rolling surface 130M of the third flow path structure 130. Since the game ball can be rebounded in a direction (specifically, the front side) different from the right side where it is located, the game ball is prevented from reaching the second start winning opening 14BK. As a result, the irregular balls that are not entered the second start winning opening 14BK are rebounded to the lower rolling surface 130M to enter the balls.

また、本実施形態の遊技機10では、イレギュラー入球を抑制するための第2の手段として、図10及び図11(B)に示されるように、始動可変部材14BTに受け止められなかった遊技球が第3流路構成体130に受け止められるより前に、その遊技球と衝突して該遊技球の勢いを低減可能な減勢部165を備えている。具体的には、減勢部165は、落下口102Kの下方空間を前後方向に挟む遊技盤11とフロントカバー146のうち少なくとも一方の部材に形成された減勢突部166により構成されている。なお、本実施形態では、減勢突部166が、フロントカバー146にのみ形成されているが、遊技盤11にのみ形成されてもよいし、遊技盤11とフロントカバー146の両方に形成されてもよい。   Further, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as a second means for suppressing irregular entry, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 (B), the game that was not received by the start variable member 14BT. Before the ball is received by the third flow path constituting body 130, a reducing portion 165 capable of colliding with the game ball and reducing the momentum of the game ball is provided. Specifically, the force reducing portion 165 includes a force reducing protrusion 166 formed on at least one of the game board 11 and the front cover 146 that sandwich the space below the drop opening 102K in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, the depressing protrusion 166 is formed only on the front cover 146, but it may be formed only on the game board 11 or on both the game board 11 and the front cover 146. Also good.

詳細には、減勢突部166は、受止傾斜面162と同様に、下側転動面130Mが延びる方向(即ち、下側転動面130Mによって遊技球が転動される方向)に沿って延在する突条であって、詳細には、落下口102Kの下方位置と第1流路101の下方位置の両方に跨って配置されている。なお、減勢突部166の先端部は、断面半円状に形成されている。   Specifically, like the receiving inclined surface 162, the depressing protrusion 166 is along the direction in which the lower rolling surface 130M extends (that is, the direction in which the game ball is rolled by the lower rolling surface 130M). In detail, the ridge extends across both the lower position of the drop port 102 </ b> K and the lower position of the first flow path 101. In addition, the front-end | tip part of the reduction | decrease protrusion part 166 is formed in the cross-sectional semicircle shape.

このように、本実施形態の遊技機10では、落下口102Kから落下した遊技球が下側転動面130Mに受け止められる前に、その遊技球の勢いを減勢突部166によって低減可能となっているので、下側転動面130Mに跳ね返された遊技球が第2始動入賞口14BKに到達することが抑制される。これによっても、イレギュラー入球が抑制される。   As described above, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the momentum of the game ball can be reduced by the reducing protrusion 166 before the game ball dropped from the drop opening 102K is received by the lower rolling surface 130M. Therefore, it is suppressed that the game ball bounced back to the lower rolling surface 130M reaches the second start winning opening 14BK. This also suppresses irregular entry.

また、本実施形態の遊技機10では、図10に示されるように、受止傾斜面162と減勢突部165は、前後方向で対向する。従って、受止傾斜面162によって前側に跳ね返された遊技球は、減勢突部165との衝突により減勢され易くなり、減勢突部165によって減勢された遊技球は、受止傾斜面162に跳ね返され易くなる。また、受止傾斜面162が前下がりに傾斜し、減勢突部165がフロントカバー146から後方に突出していることから、落下口102Kの下方で遊技盤11とフロントカバー146に挟まれた空間は、受止傾斜面162と減勢突部165によって前後方向に狭められている、とも言える。そして、この空間の狭まりによって、落下口102Kから落下した遊技球は、減勢され易くなっている。   Further, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the receiving inclined surface 162 and the depressing protrusion 165 face each other in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the game ball bounced back by the receiving inclined surface 162 is likely to be reduced by the collision with the depressing protrusion 165, and the game ball reduced by the depressing protrusion 165 is received by the receiving inclined surface. It becomes easy to be bounced back to 162. Further, since the receiving inclined surface 162 is inclined forward and the depressing protrusion 165 protrudes rearward from the front cover 146, a space sandwiched between the game board 11 and the front cover 146 below the drop opening 102K. Can be said to be narrowed in the front-rear direction by the receiving inclined surface 162 and the depressing protrusion 165. Due to the narrowing of the space, the game ball that has dropped from the drop opening 102K is easily de-energized.

詳細には、受止傾斜面162と減勢突部165の間隔は、遊技球1個分より小さくなっている。また、減勢突部165は、受止傾斜面162との間に挟む遊技球が下側転動面130Mに接触しない高さに配置されている。従って、図11(C)に示されるように、始動可変部材14BTに受け止められなかった遊技球は、受止傾斜面162と減勢突部165の間に挟まれることがある。ここで、受止傾斜面162と減勢突部165は、上述の如く下側転動面130Mに沿って延在し、右下がりに傾斜している。従って、受止傾斜面162と減勢突部165は、遊技球を間に挟んで右側へ移動させることも可能となっている。   Specifically, the interval between the receiving inclined surface 162 and the depressing protrusion 165 is smaller than one game ball. Further, the depressing protrusion 165 is disposed at a height at which the game ball sandwiched between the receiving inclined surface 162 does not contact the lower rolling surface 130M. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11C, the game ball that has not been received by the starting variable member 14BT may be sandwiched between the receiving inclined surface 162 and the depressing protrusion 165. Here, the receiving inclined surface 162 and the reducing protrusion 165 extend along the lower rolling surface 130M as described above, and are inclined downward to the right. Therefore, the receiving inclined surface 162 and the depressing protrusion 165 can be moved to the right side with the game ball interposed therebetween.
