Description

本発明はパチンコ遊技機に関わり、特に、特定の条件を満たしたときに特定遊技状態を発生させる可変入賞装置を備えたパチンコ遊技機に好適なものである。 The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine, and is particularly suitable for a pachinko gaming machine provided with a variable winning device that generates a specific gaming state when a specific condition is satisfied.

従来から「ヒコーキ」或いは「羽根物」等と称されているパチンコ遊技機は、周知のように、一対の羽根（可動片）からなる可変入賞装置が遊技盤に設けられ、所定の始動口に遊技球が入賞すると、ソレノイドが作動して可変入賞装置の羽根が１回ないし２回開閉作動し、遊技盤面を流下する遊技球を捕捉して可変入賞装置内に導くように構成されている。可変入賞装置の内部には、Ｖゾーンと称される特定入賞口が設けられており、可変入賞装置に入賞した遊技球が、さらに特定入賞口に入賞した場合は、特定遊技状態（大当たり）が発生する。特定遊技状態においては、ソレノイドの作動により羽根が所定の期間開放されるか、所定の期間に規定数の遊技球の入賞が検出されるまで継続的に開閉するか、もしくは、所定回数（例えば１８回）継続的に開閉することで、第１ラウンドとして動作する。そして、当選した大当たりの内容に応じて第２ラウンドが連続的に開始されて羽根の継続的な開閉が更に繰り返される。以下同様に所定ラウンド数（当選した大当たりの内容に応じて、最高１６ラウンド）まで繰り返され、このような特定遊技状態の期間中に多数の遊技球を獲得できるようにしたものである。 As is well known, pachinko gaming machines conventionally known as “Hikoki” or “wings” are provided with a variable winning device comprising a pair of blades (movable pieces) at a predetermined start opening. When the game ball wins, the solenoid is operated to open and close the blades of the variable winning device once or twice, so that the game ball flowing down the game board surface is captured and guided into the variable winning device. Inside the variable winning device, there is provided a specific winning port called a V zone. When a game ball that has won a prize in the variable winning device further wins a specific winning port, a specific gaming state (big hit) is set. appear. In the specific gaming state, the operation of the solenoid causes the blades to be opened for a predetermined period, or to continuously open or close until a predetermined number of game balls are detected in the predetermined period, or a predetermined number of times (for example, 18 Times) Operates as the first round by opening and closing continuously. Then, the second round is continuously started according to the content of the winning jackpot, and the continuous opening and closing of the blades is further repeated. In the same manner, the game is repeated up to a predetermined number of rounds (a maximum of 16 rounds depending on the content of the winning jackpot) so that a large number of game balls can be acquired during the period of such a specific game state.

なお、先行文献として特許文献１には、可変入賞装置の遊技球入賞領域に遊技球の入賞経路を複数設けると共に、いずれの入賞経路を通過したかを検出できる入賞経路検出手段を設け、特定遊技状態となった場合に遊技者にとっての有利または不利の遊技態様を遊技球の入賞経路によって決定するようにしたパチンコ遊技機が開示されている。
特開２００２−１８００７公報 As a prior document, Patent Document 1 provides a plurality of game ball winning paths in the game ball winning area of the variable winning device, and also includes a winning path detecting means that can detect which winning path has passed, and a specific game. A pachinko gaming machine is disclosed in which a game mode that is advantageous or unfavorable for a player in a state is determined by a winning path of game balls.
JP 2002-18007 A

ところで、この種のパチンコ遊技機は、可変入賞装置内に入賞した遊技球が特定入賞口にさらに入賞するパターンが次の場合に限られたものとなる。具体的には、遊技球が特定のタイミングで可変入賞装置内に入賞したときに遊技球が特定の経路に流れて特定入賞口に入賞する場合と、複数個の遊技球が同時に可変入賞装置内に入賞したときに遊技球が衝突することによって特定入賞口に入賞する場合が主となる。 By the way, this type of pachinko gaming machine is limited to a case where a game ball that has won a prize in the variable prize-winning device further wins a specific winning opening in the following cases. Specifically, when a game ball wins in a variable winning device at a specific timing, the game ball flows through a specific path and wins a specific winning slot, and a plurality of game balls simultaneously enter the variable winning device. When a game ball is collided when a prize is won, a case where a prize is awarded to a specific prize opening is mainly used.

しかしながら、前者は、遊技球が可変入賞装置内へ入賞するタイミングによって特定入賞口に入賞するか否かがほぼ決定してしまうため、ゲーム性が単純になる。一方、後者は、遊技球の衝突等といった予期せぬ動きをして特定入賞口への入賞が発生するため、遊技者に対して面白みのあるゲーム性となるが、偶然的な要素が強く前者に比べて特定入賞口への入賞確率が低くなる。このため、この種のパチンコ遊技機は遊技者が飽きやすいという欠点があった。

FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA, and FIG. 3C is an enlarged view of a broken line circle B shown in FIG. 3A.
As shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the variable winning device 2 is formed so that a frame body 11 made of a translucent plastic plate protrudes from the front surface of the mounting board 10 attached to the game board 1. A game room 12 surrounded by the body 11 is formed behind it.

枠体１１の上部両側にはカウントスイッチを備えた可変入賞口１３が夫々配置され、可変入賞口１３の近傍両側に遊技球を可変入賞装置２内へ導入する導入部として一対の可動片（導入部材）１４が設けられている。なお、本実施形態では導入部として羽根形態の一対の可動片１４を設けるようにしているが、これはあくまでも一例であり、例えば羽根形態では無い可動片や、片翼しかない羽根形態の可動片でも良い。
一対の可動片１４は、開成条件により遊技球を可変入賞装置２の内部へ導入不能な形態と導入可能な形態との間を交互に変形可能に構成されている。即ち、一対の可動片１４は、図１に示した始動口３Ａ、３Ｂ、３Ｃへの入賞に連動して開閉を行うことで、遊技盤１を流下する遊技球を捕捉して可変入賞装置２内へ導入するように構成されている。なお、図２（ｂ）には、実線により開状態の可動片１４が示され、仮想線により閉状態の可動片１４が示されている。
一対の可動片１４の上面には、図２（ａ）に示すように、開状態のときに捕捉した遊技球を一時的に保持する保持部１５が形成されている。この保持部１５は、例えば遊技球とほぼ同じ直径を有する半球状の凹部とされる。なお、枠体１１の上部前面にはドットマトリックス表示器１６が設けられる。 A variable winning opening 13 having a count switch is arranged on both sides of the upper portion of the frame 11, and a pair of movable pieces (introducing) as introducing portions for introducing game balls into the variable winning apparatus 2 on both sides near the variable winning opening 13. Member) 14 is provided. In this embodiment, the pair of movable pieces 14 in the form of blades is provided as the introduction portion. However, this is merely an example, for example, a movable piece that is not in the form of a blade or a movable piece in the form of a blade that has only one wing. But it ’s okay.
The pair of movable pieces 14 is configured to be able to deform alternately between a form in which a game ball cannot be introduced into the variable winning device 2 and a form in which it can be introduced, depending on the opening conditions. In other words, the pair of movable pieces 14 are opened and closed in conjunction with winning in the starting openings 3A, 3B, and 3C shown in FIG. 1, thereby capturing the game balls flowing down the game board 1 and the variable winning device 2 It is configured to be introduced into. In FIG. 2B, the movable piece 14 in an open state is indicated by a solid line, and the movable piece 14 in a closed state is indicated by a virtual line.
As shown in FIG. 2A, a holding portion 15 is formed on the upper surface of the pair of movable pieces 14 to temporarily hold the game ball captured in the open state. The holding portion 15 is, for example, a hemispherical recess having substantially the same diameter as the game ball. A dot matrix display 16 is provided on the upper front surface of the frame 11.

一対の可動片１４により捕捉されて可変入賞装置２内に導入された遊技球は、可変入賞口１３を通過して、図３（ａ）（ｂ）に示す遊技室１２内の一対の誘導通路１７上に落下する。
一対の誘導通路１７は、中央方向に向かって緩やかに傾斜しているため、誘導通路１７上に落下した遊技球は中央部に位置する開口部（振り分け部）１８へ向かって流れることになる。一対の誘導通路１７は、可変入賞口１３から遊技球が流下してくる位置から開口部１８に至るまでの長さがほぼ同じとされる。
開口部１８は、図３（ｃ）の拡大図に示すように、遊技盤１の遊技盤面に対して後方側から前方側にかけて上面がハの字状に拡がりを有するように形成されている。またその両端部は誘導通路１７の横方向に対して斜めに、且つ、後方側から前方側にかけて左右対称に傾斜した傾斜面が形成されている。また、開口部１８の口径（開口幅）は、誘導通路１７より１個の遊技球が流下してきた際は遊技球を確実に落下することができる大きさで、且つ、両側の誘導通路１７から夫々同じタイミングで遊技球が流下してきた際は、遊技球が落下し難い大きさ、即ち遊技球の直径より大きく遊技球の直径の２倍より小さいサイズに設定することで、両側の誘導通路１７から夫々同じタイミングで流下した遊技球が互いに支持しつつ前方向に移動可能な構成となっている。なお、実際には遊技球の約１．５倍〜２倍程度の範囲で設定することが好ましい。また、誘導通路１７の両端部に形成する傾斜面は左右対称に形成することが好ましいが左右非対称であっても良い。
The game balls captured by the pair of movable pieces 14 and introduced into the variable prize-winning device 2 pass through the variable prize-winning port 13, and a pair of guide passages in the game room 12 shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). 17 falls on top.
Since the pair of guide passages 17 are gently inclined toward the central direction, the game balls dropped on the guide passage 17 flow toward the opening (distribution portion) 18 located at the center. The pair of guide passages 17 have substantially the same length from the position where the game ball flows down from the variable winning opening 13 to the opening 18.
As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 3 (c), the opening 18 is formed so that the upper surface of the game board 1 has a letter C shape from the rear side to the front side with respect to the game board surface. In addition, the both end portions are inclined with respect to the lateral direction of the guide passage 17 and are inclined in a symmetrical manner from the rear side to the front side. Further, the diameter (opening width) of the opening 18 is such that when one game ball flows down from the guide passage 17, the game ball can be surely dropped, and from the guide passages 17 on both sides. When the game balls flow down at the same timing, the guide passages 17 on both sides are set by setting the size such that the game balls are difficult to drop, that is, the size larger than the game ball diameter and smaller than twice the game ball diameter. Thus, the game balls flowing down at the same timing can be moved forward while supporting each other. In practice, it is preferably set in a range of about 1.5 to 2 times the game ball. The inclined surfaces formed at both ends of the guide passage 17 are preferably formed symmetrically, but may be asymmetrical.

また、開口部１８より前方で、且つ、開口部１８より下方位置には、遊技球を後述する特定領域である特定入賞口２２へダイレクトに誘導する特別誘導通路１９が形成されている。なお、特別誘導通路１９への遊技球の流れは後述する。
また特別誘導通路１９の下部後面には、遊技球が通過可能な形状の貫通穴２６が設けられており、後述するように人形３０の股下部に開設された放出口より流下した遊技球が貫通穴２６を通って特定入賞口２２に入賞できるように構成されている。
開口部１８から落下した遊技球は、通常、その下に位置する傾斜棚２０上に落下する。傾斜棚２０は、横断状で後方に向けて緩やかに下傾するように形成されており、傾斜棚２０の後方には遊技球が落下し得る間隔を開けて人形３０が配置されている。また遊技室１２の床面２１は緩やかに前傾するように形成され、その前縁中央部に特定入賞口２２が配置されている。特定入賞口２２には特定領域スイッチ２３が備えられている。また特定入賞口２２の両サイドには、やや広めの非特定入賞口２４が配置されている。なお、特定入賞口２２に特定遊技状態を継続させる継続入賞口としての機能を持たせることも勿論可能である。 In addition, a special guide passage 19 is formed in front of the opening 18 and at a position below the opening 18 to guide the game ball directly to a specific winning opening 22 which is a specific area to be described later. The flow of the game ball to the special guide passage 19 will be described later.
In addition, a through hole 26 having a shape through which a game ball can pass is provided in the lower rear surface of the special guide passage 19, and the game ball flowing down from a discharge port established in the crotch portion of the doll 30 penetrates as described later. The special winning opening 22 can be won through the hole 26.
The game ball that has dropped from the opening 18 usually falls on the inclined shelf 20 located below the game ball. The inclined rack 20 is formed in a transverse shape so as to be gently inclined downward toward the rear, and a doll 30 is arranged behind the inclined rack 20 with an interval at which a game ball can fall. Further, the floor 21 of the game room 12 is formed so as to be gently inclined forward, and a specific winning opening 22 is arranged at the center of the front edge. The specific winning opening 22 is provided with a specific area switch 23. A slightly wider non-specific winning opening 24 is disposed on both sides of the specific winning opening 22. Of course, it is also possible to give the specific winning opening 22 a function as a continuous winning opening for continuing the specific gaming state.

人形３０の詳細は、特許文献１に開示されているため、ここでは簡単に説明するが、人形３０の腹部には、図示しないが前方に進出可能に設けられたポケット形の進退動型電動部材が設けられている。また人形３０の後側には遊技球が通過し得る通路が形成され、この通路が人形３０の股下部に開設された放出口に連通するよう形成されている。そして、放出口から放出された遊技球が特定入賞口２２の直前に位置する滞留レバー２５（図２（ｂ）参照）により一時停留されるように構成している。 The details of the doll 30 are disclosed in Patent Document 1 and will be briefly described here. However, a pocket-shaped advance / retract type electric member provided on the abdomen of the doll 30 so as to be able to advance forward is shown in the figure. Is provided. In addition, a passage through which a game ball can pass is formed on the rear side of the doll 30, and this passage is formed so as to communicate with a discharge port opened in the crotch portion of the doll 30. And it is comprised so that the game ball discharge | released from the discharge port may be stopped temporarily by the retention lever 25 (refer FIG.2 (b)) located in front of the specific winning opening 22.

また、人形３０の両側で傾斜棚２０の両サイド後方には、図２（ｂ）に示すように半球殻状の回転型電動部材３１が設けられている。この回転型電動部材３１には透孔３２が等間隔に形成されており、傾斜棚２０上に落下した遊技球は傾斜棚２０の後方側から落下する他、回転型電動部材３１の透孔３２からその内側に落下し、後側正面壁の両側に開設されたサブ放出口３３から床面２１に放出するように構成されている。
なお、図１乃至図３では、本発明の特徴的な構成である誘導通路１７及び特別誘導通路１９の構造を分かり易くするため、人形３０が誘導通路１７及び特別誘導通路１９によって隠れているが、誘導通路１７及び特別誘導通路１９を透明部材により形成すれば人形３０が隠れてしまうことはない。 Further, on both sides of the doll 30 and behind both sides of the inclined shelf 20, a hemispherical rotary electric member 31 is provided as shown in FIG. Through holes 32 are formed at equal intervals in the rotary electric member 31, and the game balls dropped on the inclined shelf 20 fall from the rear side of the inclined shelf 20, and also the through holes 32 of the rotary electric member 31. From the sub discharge port 33 provided on both sides of the rear front wall and discharged to the floor surface 21.
1 to 3, the doll 30 is hidden by the guide passage 17 and the special guide passage 19 in order to make the structures of the guide passage 17 and the special guide passage 19 which are characteristic structures of the present invention easier to understand. If the guide passage 17 and the special guide passage 19 are formed of a transparent member, the doll 30 is not hidden.

次に、上記したような可変入賞装置２における遊技球の流れを説明する。先ず、可変入賞装置２内に１個の遊技球が入賞した時の流れを説明する。
可変入賞装置２の可動片１４により捕捉され可変入賞口１３を通過した遊技球Ｐは、図４（ａ）に示すように、遊技室１２内に設けられた一対の誘導通路１７上の何れか一方に落下する。誘導通路１７上に落下した遊技球Ｐは開口部１８へ向かって流れ、開口部１８から傾斜棚２０上に落下する。傾斜棚２０上に遊技球Ｐが落下した場合は、傾斜棚２０上を後方に転がって人形３０の前に落下したり、或いは傾斜棚２０上にて両サイドにずれると回転中の回転型電動部材３１に接触して弾かれたり、或いは透孔３２中に転落する。このとき、回転型電動部材３１の回転速度が遅いと透孔３２に転落し易くなる。透孔３２に転落した遊技球Ｐはサブ放出口３３から床面２１上に放出されるため、直下方に転がって非特定入賞口２４に入賞し易く特定入賞口２２に入賞することは殆どない。また傾斜棚２０から床面２１上に落下した遊技球Ｐは、特別誘導通路１９に形成された貫通穴２６を通り抜けて特定入賞口２２に入賞することもあるが、非特定入賞口２４に入賞する確率が高い。 Next, the flow of game balls in the variable winning device 2 as described above will be described. First, the flow when one game ball wins in the variable winning device 2 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the game ball P captured by the movable piece 14 of the variable prize apparatus 2 and passing through the variable prize slot 13 is either on the pair of guide passages 17 provided in the game room 12. Fall to one side. The game ball P that has dropped onto the guide passage 17 flows toward the opening 18 and falls onto the inclined shelf 20 from the opening 18. When the game ball P falls on the inclined shelf 20, it rolls backward on the inclined shelf 20 and falls in front of the doll 30, or when it is shifted to both sides on the inclined shelf 20, the rotating electric motor is rotating. It is bounced in contact with the member 31 or falls into the through hole 32. At this time, if the rotational speed of the rotary electric member 31 is low, the rotary electric member 31 is likely to fall into the through hole 32. Since the game ball P that has fallen into the through hole 32 is discharged from the sub discharge port 33 onto the floor surface 21, the game ball P rolls right below and easily wins the non-specific winning port 24 and hardly wins the specific winning port 22. . The game ball P that has fallen on the floor surface 21 from the inclined shelf 20 may pass through the through hole 26 formed in the special guide passage 19 and win the specific winning port 22, but wins the non-specific winning port 24. The probability of doing is high.

これに対して、遊技球Ｐが傾斜棚２０から落下するときに、人形３０の腹部に設けられた進退動型電動部材が進出していると、遊技球Ｐがこの進退動型電動部材によって受けられ、電動部材が後退したときに遊技球Ｐは、人形３０の股下部に開設された放出口から放出され、滞留レバー２５により一時停留された後、床面２１を真っ直ぐ前方に転がることから、特別誘導通路１９に形成された貫通穴２６を通り抜けて中央の特定入賞口２２に容易に入賞して特定領域スイッチ２３を作動させる。 On the other hand, if the advancing / retracting electric member provided on the abdomen of the doll 30 is advanced when the game ball P falls from the inclined shelf 20, the gaming ball P is received by the advancing / retracting electric member. When the electric member retreats, the game ball P is released from the discharge port established in the crotch part of the doll 30 and temporarily stopped by the stay lever 25, and then rolls the floor 21 straight forward. The specific area switch 23 is operated by easily winning a prize through the through hole 26 formed in the special guide passage 19 and entering the center specific prize opening 22.

次に、可変入賞装置２内に遊技球が２個入賞した時の流れを説明する。
可変入賞装置２の可動片１４により捕捉され可変入賞口１３を通過した２個の遊技球Ｐ１、Ｐ２が、図５（ａ）に示すように左右両側の誘導通路１７上に同じタイミングで落下した場合、遊技球Ｐ１、Ｐ２が落下した地点から開口部１８までの長さはほぼ同じなので、誘導通路１７を流れる遊技球Ｐ１、Ｐ２は、図５（ｂ）に示すように開口部１８の位置において衝突・接触する。なお、本実施形態の可変入賞装置２は、先に述べたように、一対の可動片１４の上面に夫々保持部１５を形成しているので、この保持部１５に夫々遊技球が保持された時にほぼ同じタイミングで左右両側の誘導通路１７上に遊技球Ｐ１、Ｐ２を落下させることが可能になる。 Next, the flow when two game balls are won in the variable winning device 2 will be described.
Two game balls P1 and P2 captured by the movable piece 14 of the variable winning device 2 and passing through the variable winning port 13 fall on the left and right guide passages 17 at the same timing as shown in FIG. 5A. In this case, since the length from the point where the game balls P1 and P2 are dropped to the opening 18 is substantially the same, the game balls P1 and P2 flowing through the guide passage 17 are positioned at the position of the opening 18 as shown in FIG. Collision and contact at In the variable winning device 2 of this embodiment, as described above, since the holding portions 15 are formed on the upper surfaces of the pair of movable pieces 14, the game balls are held in the holding portions 15, respectively. It is sometimes possible to drop the game balls P1 and P2 onto the left and right guide passages 17 at substantially the same timing.

開口部１８は、先に述べたように、遊技盤１の盤面に対して後方側から前方側にかけてハの字状に広がって形成されていると共に、その両端部が、誘導通路１７の横手方向に対して斜めに、且つ、後方側から前方側に向けて傾斜するように形成されている。また、図５（ｂ）の位置で衝突した遊技球Ｐ１、Ｐ２は衝突の衝撃で図５（ｃ）に示すように、いずれか一方が前方に位置するように斜めに再配置され、開口部１８上で接触した遊技球Ｐ１、Ｐ２のうち、いずれか一方の遊技球は、開口部１８の端部の傾斜に沿ってもう一方の遊技球によって前方に押し出されることになる。このとき、前方に転がった遊技球は、開口部１８の前方から落下するので、図４（ｄ）に示すように開口部１８の前方に位置する特別誘導通路１９内に落下して特定入賞口２２に入賞する確率が高くなる。 As described above, the opening 18 is formed in the shape of a square from the rear side to the front side with respect to the board surface of the game board 1, and both ends thereof are in the lateral direction of the guide passage 17. It is formed so as to be inclined obliquely from the rear side to the front side. In addition, the game balls P1 and P2 that collided at the position of FIG. 5B are rearranged obliquely so that one of them is positioned forward as shown in FIG. One of the game balls P 1 and P 2 that have contacted on 18 is pushed forward by the other game ball along the inclination of the end of the opening 18. At this time, the game ball that rolls forward falls from the front of the opening 18 and therefore falls into the special guide passage 19 positioned in front of the opening 18 as shown in FIG. The probability of winning 22 is increased.

なお、可変入賞装置２内に複数個の遊技球が入賞した場合でも、図４（ｂ）に示すように、誘導通路１７上に異なるタイミングで落下した場合、或いは何れか一方の誘導通路１７にのみ遊技球が落下した場合は、可変入賞装置２内に１個の遊技球が入賞した時の流れとほぼ同じになる。 Even when a plurality of game balls have won in the variable prize winning device 2, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), when they fall on the guide passage 17 at different timings, or in one of the guide passages 17, When only the game ball falls, the flow is substantially the same as when one game ball wins in the variable winning device 2.

このように本実施形態のパチンコ遊技機においては、従来の遊技球の流れに加えて、可変入賞装置２の可動片１４により複数個の遊技球が捕捉されて左右両側の一対の誘導通路１７上に同じタイミングで遊技球が落下した場合は、遊技球が衝突や接触など相互に影響を与えやすいように構成しつつ、従来に比べて特定入賞口２２への入賞パターンが多様化するように構成したことによって、遊技者にとって魅力的なゲーム性を提供することができる。 As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, in addition to the flow of the conventional game ball, a plurality of game balls are captured by the movable piece 14 of the variable prize-winning device 2, and the pair of guide passages 17 on both the left and right sides are captured. When the game balls fall at the same timing, the configuration is such that the game balls are likely to affect each other, such as collision and contact, and the winning patterns to the specific winning opening 22 are diversified as compared to the conventional case. As a result, it is possible to provide a game that is attractive to the player.

また本実施形態のパチンコ遊技機は、特定入賞口２２の鉛直上方に特別誘導通路１９を形成したことで、開口部１８により特定入賞口２２側へ振り分けられた遊技球が特定入賞口２２へ入賞する確率を高めることができる。また、この特別誘導通路１９のサイズや長さを調整することで、特定入賞口２２への入賞確率を調整することも可能になる。 Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the special guiding passage 19 is formed vertically above the specific winning opening 22 so that the game balls distributed to the specific winning opening 22 side by the opening 18 win the specific winning opening 22. Can increase the probability. In addition, by adjusting the size and length of the special guide passage 19, it is possible to adjust the winning probability to the specific winning opening 22.

また本実施形態のパチンコ遊技機では、一対の可動片１４の上面に遊技球を保持する保持部１５を形成したことで、左右両側の誘導通路１７上に同じタイミングで遊技球を落下させることが可能になる。
なお、図示は省略するが夫々の誘導通路１７に可動片１４からの遊技球を夫々一時的に停留させて保持する保持手段、例えば可動可能な突起等を設けるようにした場合も左右両側の誘導通路１７上に同じタイミングで遊技球を落下させるのと同様の効果が得られる。 Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the holding portion 15 that holds the game ball is formed on the upper surfaces of the pair of movable pieces 14 so that the game ball can be dropped at the same timing on the left and right guide passages 17. It becomes possible.
Although not shown in the drawings, holding means for temporarily stopping and holding the game balls from the movable piece 14 in the respective guide passages 17, for example, movable protrusions, etc. are also provided. An effect similar to that of dropping a game ball on the passage 17 at the same timing can be obtained.

さらに、本実施形態のパチンコ遊技機は、可動片１４の上面に夫々形成した保持部１５から開口部１８上の合流位置に至るまでの長さ、或いは誘導通路１７に設けた保持手段から開口部１８上の合流位置に至るまでの長さほぼ同じにすることで、保持部１５又は保持手段において遊技球が保持したときに開口部１８上において遊技球を確実に衝突させることができる。 Further, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment has a length from the holding portion 15 formed on the upper surface of the movable piece 14 to the joining position on the opening portion 18 or from the holding means provided in the guide passage 17 to the opening portion. When the game balls are held by the holding portion 15 or the holding means, the game balls can be reliably collided on the opening portion 18 by making the lengths until reaching the merging position on 18.

なお、本実施形態では、本発明の誘導通路の構造を可変入賞装置に適用した場合を例に挙げて説明したが、これはあくまでも一例であり、例えば本発明の誘導通路の構造を始動入賞口又は始動入賞口への入賞を振り分ける振り分け部へ遊技球を誘導する誘導通路にも適用することができる。その場合は、始動入賞口又は始動入賞口への入賞を振り分ける振り分け部に遊技球を誘導する誘導通路として、遊技球を夫々誘導可能な一対の誘導通路と、一対の誘導通路に同一タイミングで遊技球が進入したときに遊技球が合流する位置に形成される開口部と備えるようにする。そして、遊技盤面の後方側から前方側にかけてハの字状に拡がった開口を形成すると共に、その端部が誘導通路の横手方向に対して斜めに、且つ、後方側から前方側に向けて傾斜するように形成すれば良い。 In the present embodiment, the case where the structure of the guide passage of the present invention is applied to a variable winning device has been described as an example. However, this is only an example, and the structure of the guide passage of the present invention is, for example, a start prize opening. Alternatively, the present invention can also be applied to a guide passage that guides a game ball to a distribution unit that distributes a winning to a start winning opening. In that case, as a guide passage for guiding the game ball to the start winning opening or the distribution portion that distributes the winning to the start winning opening, a pair of guide passages capable of guiding the game ball and a pair of guide passages at the same timing An opening formed at a position where the game balls meet when the ball enters is provided. Then, an opening that expands in a C shape from the rear side to the front side of the game board surface is formed, and an end thereof is inclined with respect to the lateral direction of the guide passage and inclined from the rear side to the front side. What is necessary is just to form so.

このように構成すれば、遊技球を始動入賞口に誘導する誘導経路における球の流れが面白みのあるものとなり、遊技者に飽きのこないゲーム性を提供することができる。また両側の誘導通路から同じタイミングで遊技球が送られてきた場合でも開口部において遊技球が詰まるといったことがなく遊技球を始動入賞口又は始動入賞口への入賞を振り分ける振り分け部の方向に流下することができるという利点がある。 If comprised in this way, the flow of the ball | bowl in the guidance path | route which guide | induces a game ball | bowl to a start winning opening will become interesting, and the game property which does not get tired of a player can be provided. In addition, even when game balls are sent from the guide passages on both sides at the same timing, the game balls flow down in the direction of the distribution unit that distributes the game balls to the start winning opening or the starting winning opening without clogging the game balls in the opening. There is an advantage that you can.
