Description

本発明は、パチンコ機やスマートボール等の弾球遊技機に衝撃や振動を加えて賞球を得ようとする不正行為（所謂どつき行為）の防止に有効な弾球遊技機の不正行為防止構造に関するものである。   The present invention prevents the illegal act of a ball game machine that is effective in preventing an illegal act (so-called dodging action) to apply a shock or vibration to a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine or a smart ball to obtain a prize ball. Concerning structure.

従来、この種の技術としては特許文献１に記載のものがあった。
これは、遊技盤に打ち出された遊技球が通過する複数の通過孔のうち、いずれかの通過孔が遊技上の有利な特典を付与する当たり孔に選択される遊技機において、振動センサを設けてどつき行為を検知し、検知回数が閾値を超えた場合には抽選を行って前記当たり孔の選択をし直すというものである。 Conventionally, this type of technology has been described in Patent Document 1.
This is because a vibration sensor is provided in a gaming machine in which one of the plurality of through holes through which a game ball launched on the game board passes is selected as a hit hole that provides an advantageous game benefit. When a tapping action is detected and the number of times of detection exceeds a threshold value, a lottery is performed to reselect the winning hole.

特開２００５−１６０９５３号公報JP 2005-160953 A

しかしながら上記従来技術では、高価な振動センサを使用するためにコスト高になった。また、当たり孔の選択のし直しは、現実的でない。特に、遊技場には、通常多数の遊技機が設置されるが、上記従来技術では当たり孔の選択がし直された遊技機とそうでない遊技機とが混在することになり、遊技者に混乱を招くという問題もあった。
本発明の課題は、不正行為、特にどつき行為の防止を極めて低コストかつ容易に実現でき、しかも、多数の遊技機が設置される遊技場において遊技者に混乱を与えることもない、弾球遊技機の不正行為防止構造を提供することにある。 However, in the above-described conventional technology, an expensive vibration sensor is used, which increases the cost. Further, the selection of the contact hole is not realistic. In particular, a large number of gaming machines are usually installed in the game hall. However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, there are a mixture of gaming machines in which the selection of hitting holes is re-selected and gaming machines that are not so, which may confuse players. There was also a problem of inviting.
An object of the present invention is to provide a bullet ball that can easily prevent fraudulent acts, particularly, dodging actions, at a very low cost, and does not cause confusion to a player in a game hall where a large number of gaming machines are installed. The object is to provide a structure for preventing illegal acts of gaming machines.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づき説明する。なお、各図間において、同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示す。
図１は、本発明による不正行為防止構造が適用されたパチンコ機の遊技盤の盤面構成例を示す図である。
図示するように、盤面１にはレール２が取り付けられており、このレール２の内側には、遊技領域３が形成されている。レール２は、図示しないハンドルの操作により発射された遊技球（図示せず）が盤面１の左側上部から遊技領域３内へ打ち込まれるように案内する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol shows the same or an equivalent part between each figure.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a board surface configuration example of a game board of a pachinko machine to which a fraud prevention structure according to the present invention is applied.
As shown in the drawing, a rail 2 is attached to the board surface 1, and a game area 3 is formed inside the rail 2. The rail 2 guides a game ball (not shown) launched by operating a handle (not shown) so as to be driven into the game area 3 from the upper left side of the board surface 1.

遊技領域３には種々の遊技領域構成部品が設けられている。
すなわち、遊技領域３のほぼ中央には液晶表示器等からなる図柄表示装置の画面（図柄表示画面）４が配置されている。そして、その図柄表示画面４の周囲には、装飾部品５がセンタ飾りとして配置され、図柄表示画面４の周囲を装飾している。
図柄表示画面４の下方及びその両側には始動入賞口６が、図柄表示画面４の上方には上大入賞口７が、図柄表示画面４の下方の始動入賞口６の直下には下大入賞口８が、各々設けられている。その他、いくつかの一般入賞口９が遊技領域３に設けられている。入賞口に入賞（入球）すると賞球が獲得される。
上，下大入賞口７，８は、図１では閉じた状態を示しているが、開放時には、他の入賞口６，９よりも入賞が著しく容易な形態となるように、ここでは入賞開口が著しく大きくなるように構成されている。したがって遊技者は、上，下大入賞口７，８の開放時には一般入賞口９や始動入賞口６の入賞時よりも多くの賞球を獲得できる。
更に、遊技領域３には、詳細を後述する遊技球振分け機構が設けられた箇所に、第１経路及び第２経路への入口等が各々開口している（図１においては符号が省略されている）。 Various game area components are provided in the game area 3.
That is, a screen (symbol display screen) 4 of a symbol display device made up of a liquid crystal display or the like is arranged in the approximate center of the game area 3. A decorative part 5 is arranged as a center ornament around the symbol display screen 4 to decorate the periphery of the symbol display screen 4.
The start winning opening 6 is below and on both sides of the symbol display screen 4, the upper large winning opening 7 is above the symbol displaying screen 4, and the lower winning prize is just below the starting winning opening 6 below the symbol display screen 4. Each mouth 8 is provided. In addition, some general winning ports 9 are provided in the game area 3. A prize ball is obtained when a prize is entered at the prize opening.
The upper and lower large winning openings 7 and 8 are shown in the closed state in FIG. 1, but here the winning opening is such that when opened, the winning arrangement becomes remarkably easier than the other winning openings 6 and 9. Is configured to be remarkably large. Therefore, the player can obtain more prize balls when the upper and lower grand prize openings 7 and 8 are opened than when the general prize opening 9 and the start prize opening 6 are awarded.
Further, in the game area 3, entrances to the first route and the second route are opened at locations where a game ball distribution mechanism, which will be described in detail later, is provided (reference numerals are omitted in FIG. 1). )

遊技領域３の左右、両側方には、サイドランプ１０が設けられている。ゲート１１や風車１２も遊技領域３の適所に設けられている。
遊技領域３の最下部には、入賞しなかった遊技球を回収するアウト口１３が設けられている。
更に、上記各部品１，２，４〜１２やアウト口１３を避けた適宜箇所には、多数の遊技釘１４（一部のみ図示）が打ち込まれている。なお、遊技領域３は透明ガラス板（図示せず）により覆われ、遊技球が遊技領域３から離脱することはない。 Side lamps 10 are provided on the left and right and both sides of the game area 3. A gate 11 and a windmill 12 are also provided at appropriate positions in the game area 3.
At the bottom of the game area 3, an out port 13 for collecting game balls that have not won is provided.
Further, a large number of game nails 14 (only a part of which is shown) are driven into appropriate places avoiding the parts 1, 2, 4 to 12 and the out port 13. The game area 3 is covered with a transparent glass plate (not shown), and the game ball does not leave the game area 3.

本発明による不正行為防止構造は、このような遊技領域３に設けられた遊技球振分け機構（図１中、破線で囲んだ領域２１内に示す。）に適用されている。
以下、図２及び図３を参照して上記遊技球振分け機構２１の具体例を説明する。
両図は、遊技球振分け機構２１の一例を取り出し拡大して示す正面図であって、図２は、遊技球２２が遊技球振分け機構２１中の振分け装置２３の手前の待機部２４に到達した状態を示し、図３は待機部２４に到達した遊技球２２が振分け装置２３に取込まれた状態を示す。
上記遊技球振分け機構２１は、その主構成をなす振分け装置２３により、遊技球２２を、特定の領域（ここではＶゾーン）を通過させて賞球を獲得させ得る第１経路２５、又はＶゾーンを通過させることのない第２経路２６のうちのいずれかに振分け導入させる機構である。 The fraud prevention structure according to the present invention is applied to a game ball distribution mechanism (shown in a region 21 surrounded by a broken line in FIG. 1) provided in such a game region 3.
Hereinafter, a specific example of the game ball distribution mechanism 21 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
FIGS. 2A and 2B are front and enlarged views showing an example of the game ball distribution mechanism 21. FIG. 2 shows the game ball 22 reaching the standby unit 24 in front of the distribution device 23 in the game ball distribution mechanism 21. FIG. FIG. 3 shows a state in which the game ball 22 that has reached the standby unit 24 is taken into the distribution device 23.
The game ball distribution mechanism 21 has a first path 25 that allows a game ball 22 to pass through a specific region (here, V zone) and acquire a prize ball by the distribution device 23 that constitutes the main structure, or the V zone. This is a mechanism for distributing and introducing to any one of the second paths 26 that do not pass through.

第１経路２５又は第２経路２６ヘは、遊技領域３（図１参照）に設けられた入口２７に到達した遊技球２２が、その入口２７から緩やかな下り勾配の誘導路２８を通って待機部２４に到達した遊技球２２が導入される。
遊技球２２が上記入口（誘導路入口）２７に到達するまでの経路は任意に設定できる。図１に示す例では、上大入賞口７に入賞した遊技球２２のみが誘導路入口２７に到達でき、その経路は、説明を省略するが概ね図１中の矢印イに示す通りである。矢印イで示す経路中には、上記遊技球振分け機構２１とは別個のいくつかの遊技球振分け機構が介在し、そこを通過する都度、遊技者を楽しませる。 In the first path 25 or the second path 26, the game ball 22 that has reached the entrance 27 provided in the game area 3 (see FIG. 1) waits from the entrance 27 through a gentle down-gradient guide path 28. A game ball 22 that reaches the section 24 is introduced.
The path until the game ball 22 reaches the entrance (guidance path entrance) 27 can be arbitrarily set. In the example shown in FIG. 1, only the game ball 22 that has won the upper prize winning opening 7 can reach the guideway entrance 27, and the route is generally as shown by the arrow a in FIG. In the path indicated by the arrow A, several game ball sorting mechanisms separate from the game ball sorting mechanism 21 are interposed, and the player is entertained every time the route passes.

待機部２４に到達した遊技球２２が第１経路２５又は第２経路２６のどちらに導入されるかは待機部到達時の振分け装置２３の駆動状態に依存する。
ここで振分け装置２３は、軸周り方向に回転自在で、回転軸方向に交差する一端面がパチンコ機正面側に向けられ、外周面には外れ球保持部３１と当り球保持部３２とが間隔を置いて切欠き形成された振分け部材３３を備える。図示例では、２つの外れ球保持部３１及び１つの当り球保持部３２がほぼ１２０°間隔で外周面に形成された振分け部材３３を備える。
振分け部材３３は、パチンコ機稼働中、回転し続けるように構成してもよく、また、上大入賞口７に遊技球２２が入賞してから回転開始するように構成してもよい。いずれにしても振分け部材３３は、この振分け部材３３とで振分け装置２３の主構成をなし、振分け部材３３の回転軸に出力軸が連結された減速機構付きのモータ（図示せず）により回転される。図示例では時計回りに回転される（矢印ロ参照）。
振分け部材３３の正面には、所望の意匠、例えば平面的な模様やキャラクタが描かれ、あるいは浮彫り等による装飾等が施されている。図示例では、扇子を持って両手を上げた、豚を擬人化したキャラクタが振分け部材３３の正面に浮彫りされている。 Whether the game ball 22 that has reached the standby unit 24 is introduced into the first path 25 or the second path 26 depends on the driving state of the distribution device 23 when the standby unit is reached.
Here, the distribution device 23 is rotatable in the direction around the axis, one end surface intersecting the rotation axis direction is directed to the front side of the pachinko machine, and the outer ball holding portion 31 and the hit ball holding portion 32 are spaced from each other on the outer peripheral surface. The distribution member 33 is formed with a notch formed. In the illustrated example, two off-sphere holding portions 31 and one hitting ball holding portion 32 are provided with a sorting member 33 formed on the outer peripheral surface at approximately 120 ° intervals.
The distribution member 33 may be configured to continue to rotate while the pachinko machine is operating, or may be configured to start rotating after the game ball 22 has won the upper prize winning opening 7. In any case, the distribution member 33 forms the main configuration of the distribution device 23 together with the distribution member 33, and is rotated by a motor (not shown) with a speed reduction mechanism in which the output shaft is connected to the rotation shaft of the distribution member 33. The In the illustrated example, it is rotated clockwise (see arrow B).
On the front surface of the sorting member 33, a desired design, for example, a flat pattern or character is drawn, or decoration by embossing or the like is given. In the illustrated example, a character impersonating a pig who raised both hands with a fan is embossed in front of the sorting member 33.

遊技球振分け機構２１は、上記のような振分け装置２３を備え、待機部２４に到達した遊技球２２を、回転する振分け部材３３の最初に対向する外れ球保持部３１又は当り球保持部３２内に落下保持させて移動する。
そして、外れ球保持部３１内に保持した遊技球２２を、その外れ球保持部３１が上記第２経路２６の入口２６ａに対向した際にその第２経路２６内に落下導入させ、あるいは当り球保持部３２内に保持した遊技球２２を、その当り球保持部３２が下方に向いた時に第１経路２５内に落下導入させるように構成されている。 The game ball distribution mechanism 21 includes the above-described distribution device 23, and the game ball 22 that has reached the standby unit 24 is placed inside the off-ball holding unit 31 or the hit ball holding unit 32 that is first facing the rotating distribution member 33. Move to drop and hold.
Then, the game ball 22 held in the off-ball holding unit 31 is dropped and introduced into the second path 26 when the off-ball holding unit 31 faces the inlet 26a of the second path 26, or the hit ball The game ball 22 held in the holding unit 32 is configured to be dropped and introduced into the first path 25 when the hit ball holding unit 32 faces downward.

図示例では、外れ球保持部３１はその奥行き方向（図示面に直交する方向）に何ら障害物が形成されてなく、かつ、その内周面がパチンコ機背面側に向けてやや広げられている。そして、外れ球保持部３１が、振分け部材３３の回転に伴って振分け部材取付け面の３時の方向に配置された第２経路２６の入口２６ａと対向する位置に達したときに、遊技球２２が自重によって同入口２６ａ側に移動し、外れ球保持部３１から離脱して第２経路２６内に落下導入されるように構成されている。   In the illustrated example, the dislodging sphere holding portion 31 has no obstruction in the depth direction (direction orthogonal to the illustrated surface), and its inner peripheral surface is slightly expanded toward the back side of the pachinko machine. . When the dislodging ball holding portion 31 reaches the position facing the entrance 26a of the second path 26 arranged in the 3 o'clock direction of the distribution member mounting surface as the distribution member 33 rotates, the game ball 22 Is moved to the inlet 26a side by its own weight, and is separated from the dislodging ball holding portion 31 and dropped into the second path 26.

また当り球保持部３２は、その奥行き方向の背面側に振分け部材外周側が欠けたほぼ半月状のストッパ壁３２ａが形成されている。そして当り球保持部３２が、振分け部材３３の回転に伴って振分け部材取付け面の６時の方向に配置された第１経路２５の入口２５ａと対向する位置に達したときに、遊技球２２が自重によって同入口２５ａ側に落下し、当り球保持部３２から落下離脱して第１経路２５内に導入されるように構成されている。
なおストッパ壁３２ａは、当り球保持部３２が、振分け部材３３の回転に伴って第２経路２６の入口２６ａと対向する位置に達したときでも、遊技球２２が同入口２６ａ側に移動させないために設けられている。 In addition, the hitting ball holding portion 32 is formed with a substantially half-moon shaped stopper wall 32a with the outer peripheral side of the sorting member missing on the back side in the depth direction. When the hit ball holding portion 32 reaches the position facing the entrance 25a of the first path 25 arranged in the direction of 6 o'clock on the distribution member mounting surface as the distribution member 33 rotates, the game ball 22 is It is configured such that it falls to the inlet 25a side by its own weight, falls off the contact ball holding portion 32, and is introduced into the first path 25.
The stopper wall 32a prevents the game ball 22 from moving to the inlet 26a side even when the hit ball holding portion 32 reaches a position facing the inlet 26a of the second path 26 as the distribution member 33 rotates. Is provided.

符号３４は、第１経路２５の入口２５ａから同経路２５内部に向けて下り勾配に形成された、側面視直角三角形のリブ状のガイドで、当り球保持部３２から落下離脱した遊技球２２を上端面で受けて第１経路２５内方に案内する。
なお図２では、遊技球２２が待機部２４に到達した時に、外れ球保持部３１及び当り球保持部３２のいずれも遊技球２２と向かい合っていない場合を例示したが、遊技球２２が待機部２４に到達した時に、外れ球保持部３１又は当り球保持部３２のいずれかが遊技球２２と向かい合うこともあることはいうまでもない。この場合、待機部２４に到達した遊技球２２は、図２に示す状態を経ることなく、例えば図３に示す状態に移行する。 Reference numeral 34 denotes a rib-shaped guide having a right-angled triangular shape in a side view, which is formed in a downward slope from the entrance 25a of the first path 25 toward the inside of the path 25. It is received at the upper end surface and guided to the inside of the first path 25.
2 illustrates a case where neither the off-ball holding unit 31 nor the hit ball holding unit 32 faces the game ball 22 when the game ball 22 reaches the standby unit 24. It goes without saying that either the falling ball holding unit 31 or the hit ball holding unit 32 may face the game ball 22 when reaching 24. In this case, the game ball 22 that has reached the standby unit 24 shifts to the state shown in FIG. 3, for example, without going through the state shown in FIG.

このような遊技球振分け機構２１において、本実施形態の不正行為防止構造は、上記振分け装置２３側を落下面側とする段差４１からなるもので、この段差４１は、遊技球２２が待機部２４に位置したときの同遊技球２２の背面側（図中、左側）の適宜箇所に設けられている。図示例では、待機部２４に遊技球２２が位置したときの同遊技球２２の背面が接触する位置に段差４１が設けられている。
段差４１の寸法（高低差）は、本実施形態が適用されるパチンコ機の一般的な構造において、遊技領域３（図１参照）の前面を覆う透明ガラス板やパチンコ機前枠（いずれも図示せず）を叩く等して衝撃や振動を加えることで（所謂どつき行為等によって）、段差４１を通過し待機部２４に位置した遊技球２２を、段差４１を乗り越えて入口２７側に逆行させることが不可能となる程度に設定される。 In such a game ball distribution mechanism 21, the fraud prevention structure of the present embodiment is composed of a step 41 with the distribution device 23 side as a drop surface side, and the game ball 22 is a standby unit 24. Are provided at appropriate positions on the back side (left side in the figure) of the game ball 22 when the game ball 22 is positioned at the position. In the illustrated example, a step 41 is provided at a position where the back of the game ball 22 contacts the standby unit 24 when the game ball 22 is positioned.
The dimension (level difference) of the level difference 41 is the same as that of the pachinko machine in the general structure of the pachinko machine to which this embodiment is applied. The game ball 22 passing through the step 41 and positioned in the standby unit 24 is moved back over the step 41 to the entrance 27 side by applying an impact or vibration by hitting it (not shown). It is set to such an extent that it cannot be made to occur.

次に、図１〜図３を参照しつつ、上述した不正行為防止構造の作用を遊技球振分け機構２１の作用と共に説明する。
図１において、遊技球（図示せず）が遊技領域３内に打ち込まれ、３つある始動入賞口６のいずれかに入賞すると大当り抽選が行われ、この大当り抽選に当ると上大入賞口７が開放する。これにより遊技球が上大入賞口７に入賞すると、その遊技球は図中左右のいずれかの方向に振分け移動されるが、いま、左方向に移動した場合には、必要な条件を満たすことによって概ね矢印イに示す経路で遊技球振分け機構２１の誘導路入口２７に到達する。 Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the operation of the above-described fraud prevention structure will be described together with the operation of the game ball distribution mechanism 21.
In FIG. 1, when a game ball (not shown) is driven into the game area 3 and wins one of the three start winning holes 6, a big win lottery is performed. Will be released. As a result, when the game ball wins the upper grand prize opening 7, the game ball is distributed and moved in either the left or right direction in the figure. To reach the guideway entrance 27 of the game ball sorting mechanism 21 in the route indicated by the arrow a.

遊技球は、誘導路入口２７に到達すると、緩やかな下り勾配となっている誘導路２８を自重で転動走行して振分け装置２３手前の待機部２４に到達する。
図２は、遊技球２２が待機部２４に到達した時、振分け部材３３の外れ球保持部３１及び当り球保持部３２のいずれも遊技球２２に対向していない、つまり振分け部材３３の非切欠き部（円弧面）が遊技球２２に対向している場合を示している。したがってこの場合は、遊技球２２は振分け部材３３が回転して外れ球保持部３１又は当り球保持部３２のいずれかと対向するまで待機部２４に、図示例では段差４１と振分け部材３３の非切欠き部（円弧面）との間に位置している。 When the game ball reaches the guideway entrance 27, the game ball rolls on the guideway 28, which has a gentle downward slope, by its own weight, and reaches the standby unit 24 in front of the distribution device 23.
FIG. 2 shows that when the game ball 22 reaches the standby unit 24, neither the off-ball holding unit 31 nor the hit ball holding unit 32 of the distribution member 33 is opposed to the game ball 22, that is, the distribution member 33 is not cut off. The case where the notch (arc surface) faces the game ball 22 is shown. Therefore, in this case, the game ball 22 is kept in the standby unit 24 until the sorting member 33 rotates and faces either the off-ball holding unit 31 or the hit ball holding unit 32, and in the illustrated example, the step 41 and the sorting member 33 are not cut off. It is located between the notch (arc surface).

振分け部材３３が更に回転して外れ球保持部３１又は当り球保持部３２に対向すると、遊技球２２は対向した外れ球保持部３１又は当り球保持部３２内に落下保持される。
図示例では、振分け部材３３は矢印ロに示す時計回りに回転しているので、遊技球２２は外れ球保持部３１内に落下保持される（図３参照）。そして、外れ球保持部３１が第２経路２６の入口２６ａと対向する位置に達すると、遊技球２２は同入口２６ａ側に移動し、外れ球保持部３１から離脱して第２経路２６内（パチンコ機背面方向）に落下導入される。
遊技球２２が当り球保持部３２内に保持されている場合には、その遊技球２２は当り球保持部３２が下方に向いた時に第１経路２５内（パチンコ機背面方向）に落下導入される。当り球保持部３２は、下方に向くまでの間に第２経路２６の入口２６ａと対向する位置を通るが、当り球保持部３２の背面側に形成されたストッパ壁３２ａが、当り球保持部３２に保持されている遊技球２２の第２経路入口２６ａ側ヘの移動を阻止する。 When the sorting member 33 further rotates and faces the dislodging ball holding unit 31 or the hit ball holding unit 32, the game ball 22 is dropped and held in the facing disengagement ball holding unit 31 or the hit ball holding unit 32.
In the illustrated example, since the sorting member 33 rotates clockwise as indicated by the arrow B, the game ball 22 is dropped and held in the off-ball holding unit 31 (see FIG. 3). When the dislodging ball holding part 31 reaches a position facing the inlet 26a of the second path 26, the game ball 22 moves to the entrance 26a side and is detached from the dislodging ball holding part 31 in the second path 26 ( It is dropped into the back of the pachinko machine.
In the case where the game ball 22 is held in the hit ball holding portion 32, the game ball 22 is dropped and introduced into the first path 25 (backward direction of the pachinko machine) when the hit ball holding portion 32 faces downward. The The hitting ball holding portion 32 passes through a position facing the inlet 26a of the second path 26 until it faces downward, but a stopper wall 32a formed on the back side of the hitting ball holding portion 32 has a hitting ball holding portion. The movement of the game ball 22 held at 32 to the second path entrance 26a side is prevented.

第１経路２５内に導入された遊技球２２はＶゾーンを通過する。Ｖゾーンは、第１経路２５の入口２５ａ部分あるいはそれより奥の経路内に設定されるが、いずれにしても、遊技球２２がＶゾーンを通過すると、下大入賞口８の所定の開放動作を何回（ラウンド）繰り返すかを決定するラウンド抽選が行われる。その後、下大入賞口８は、ラウンド抽選の結果に従った回数分、開放動作を繰り返すもので、遊技者は一般入賞口９や始動入賞口６の入賞時よりも多くの賞球を獲得できる。
ラウンド抽選を、上記大当り抽選と同時に行うようにしてもよい。この場合、ラウンド抽選結果は一時記憶され、遊技球２２がＶゾーンを通過した場合に有効とされて読み出され、下大入賞口８は、その読み出されたラウンド抽選結果に従った回数分、開放動作を繰り返す。
ラウンド回数（ラウンド抽選結果に従った大入賞口開放動作回数）に、上記上大入賞口７の開放動作１回分を含めるか否かは適宜定められる。 The game ball 22 introduced into the first path 25 passes through the V zone. The V zone is set in the entrance 25a portion of the first path 25 or in the path behind it, but in any case, when the game ball 22 passes through the V zone, the predetermined opening operation of the lower large winning opening 8 is performed. Round lottery is performed to determine how many times (round) is repeated. Thereafter, the lower grand prize opening 8 repeats the opening operation for the number of times according to the result of the round lottery, and the player can acquire more prize balls than when winning the general prize opening 9 or the start winning opening 6. .
You may make it perform a round lottery simultaneously with the said big hit lottery. In this case, the round lottery result is temporarily stored and is read when the game ball 22 passes through the V zone, and is read out, and the lower major winning opening 8 is the number of times according to the read round lottery result. Repeat the opening operation.
Whether or not to include one opening operation of the upper prize winning opening 7 is included in the number of rounds (number of opening actions of the big winning opening according to the round lottery result).

したがって、誘導路入口２７に到達した遊技球２２が振分け部材３３の当り球保持部３２内に導入されるか否かは遊技者の利害に重大な影響を及ぼす。
このため、誘導路入口２７に到達した遊技球２２が振分け部材３３の外れ球保持部３１又は当り球保持部３２内のいずれに落下するかを予測し、外れ球保持部３１内に落下すると予測された場合には、誘導路２８の下り勾配が緩やかになっていることを奇貨として不正が行われる場合がある。
すなわち、遊技領域３（図１参照）の前面を覆う透明ガラス板やパチンコ機前枠（いずれも図示せず）を叩く等して衝撃や振動を加え、誘導路２８を走行する、あるいは待機部２４に到達した遊技球２２を、誘導路入口２７側に逆行させて振分け部材３３に到達する時間を先延ばしし、当り球保持部３２内に落下させようとする不正が行われる場合がある。
しかし本実施形態では、誘導路２８上の、待機部２４に遊技球２２が位置したときの同遊技球２２の背面側に、振分け装置２３側を落下面側とする段差４１を設けたので、パチンコ機に衝撃や振動を加えても遊技球２２を誘導路入口２７側に逆行させることは不可能となり、上記のような不正行為を防止できる。
しかもその構成は、誘導路２８上に単純な段差４１を設けるだけであるので、上記のような不正行為の防止を、振動センサを使用する従来技術に比べて極めて低コストかつ容易に実現できる。また、当たり孔の選択をし直す従来技術を適用した遊技場において生じた遊技者の混乱も、本実施形態においては生ずることがない。 Therefore, whether or not the game ball 22 that has reached the guideway entrance 27 is introduced into the hit ball holding portion 32 of the sorting member 33 has a significant effect on the interests of the player.
For this reason, it is predicted whether the game ball 22 that has reached the guideway entrance 27 will fall into the falling ball holding part 31 or the hit ball holding part 32 of the sorting member 33, and predicted to fall into the falling ball holding part 31. In such a case, there is a case where fraud is performed with the fact that the descending slope of the guide path 28 is gentle as an odd coin.
In other words, a shock or vibration is applied by hitting a transparent glass plate covering the front of the game area 3 (see FIG. 1) or a front frame of a pachinko machine (both not shown) to travel on the guide path 28, or a standby section There is a case where the game ball 22 that has reached 24 is moved backward to the guideway entrance 27 side to prolong the time to reach the sorting member 33 and to try to fall into the hit ball holding unit 32 in some cases.
However, in the present embodiment, since the step 41 is provided on the back side of the game ball 22 when the game ball 22 is positioned on the standby portion 24 on the guide path 28, the distribution device 23 side is the drop surface side. Even if an impact or vibration is applied to the pachinko machine, it is impossible to reverse the game ball 22 toward the guideway entrance 27 side, and the above-mentioned illegal acts can be prevented.
In addition, since the configuration merely provides a simple step 41 on the guide path 28, it is possible to easily prevent illegal acts as described above at an extremely low cost and in comparison with the prior art using a vibration sensor. In addition, the confusion of the player that occurs in the game hall to which the conventional technology for reselecting the hit hole is applied does not occur in this embodiment.
