この発明は、遊技球を受容可能な複数の球受部を周方向に離間して設けた回転体を備えた遊技機の振分装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a distribution device for a gaming machine including a rotating body in which a plurality of ball receiving portions capable of receiving game balls are provided apart from each other in the circumferential direction.

代表的な遊技機であるパチンコ機において、機内にセットされる遊技盤の盤面に形成した遊技領域に配設した装飾部材に、特定入賞口に連通可能な特定球受部と普通入賞口に連通可能な普通球受部とを周方向に離間して形成した回転体を備えた振分装置を設け、回転体による振分作用によって遊技球を、特定入賞口または普通入賞口に振分けるものがある(例えば、非特許文献１参照)。非特許文献１に開示の振分装置では、図１８に概略的に示す如く、外周壁１００で囲われた回転領域内に、回転体１０１が水平回転自在に配設されている。この回転体１０１には、遊技球Ｂを受容可能で径方向外方に開口する複数の普通球受部１０２と、遊技球Ｂを受容可能で径方向外方および下方に開口する１つの特定球受部１０３とが周方向に離間して形成されている。前記外周壁１００には、遊技球Ｂを回転体１０１の回転領域内に通入させる通入口１００ａが設けてある。なお、回転領域には、回転体１０１の上面中央に対して上方から遊技球Ｂが落下して入るようにもなっている。   In a pachinko machine that is a typical game machine, a decorative member arranged in a game area formed on a board surface of a game board set in the machine communicates with a specific ball receiving portion that can communicate with a specific prize opening and a normal prize opening. There is provided a sorting device having a rotating body formed by separating a possible normal ball receiving portion in the circumferential direction, and distributing game balls to a specific winning port or a normal winning port by a sorting action by the rotating body. Yes (see Non-Patent Document 1, for example). In the sorting apparatus disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1, as shown schematically in FIG. 18, a rotating body 101 is disposed in a rotating area surrounded by an outer peripheral wall 100 so as to be horizontally rotatable. The rotating body 101 includes a plurality of normal ball receiving portions 102 that can receive the game ball B and open radially outward, and one specific ball that can receive the game ball B and open radially outward and downward. The receiving part 103 is formed to be spaced apart in the circumferential direction. The outer peripheral wall 100 is provided with an entrance 100 a through which the game ball B is allowed to enter the rotation area of the rotating body 101. Note that the game ball B falls into the rotation area from the upper center of the rotating body 101 from above.

前記回転体１０１を支持する底板１０４に、前記特定球受部１０３の下部通孔１０３ａに連通可能な特定入賞口１０５が形成され、該特定入賞口１０５への遊技球Ｂの入球によって、遊技者に有利な特定遊技状態が発生するようになっている。また、前記外周壁１００には、回転体１０１から離間して回転領域に連通する排出部１００ｂが形成され、該排出部１００ｂに対応する底板１０４に普通入賞口１０６が形成されている。   A special winning hole 105 that can communicate with the lower through hole 103 a of the specific ball receiving portion 103 is formed in the bottom plate 104 that supports the rotating body 101, and a game ball B enters the specific winning hole 105 to play a game A specific gaming state advantageous to the person is generated. Further, the outer peripheral wall 100 is formed with a discharge portion 100b that is separated from the rotating body 101 and communicates with the rotation region, and a normal winning opening 106 is formed in the bottom plate 104 corresponding to the discharge portion 100b.

前記振分装置では、回転体１０１の回転領域に対し、回転体１０１の上方あるいは前記通入口１００ａから遊技球Ｂが入り、該遊技球Ｂは、特定球受部１０３または普通球受部１０２の何れかに受容される。そして、遊技球Ｂが特定球受部１０３に受容された場合は、回転体１０１の回転に伴って遊技球Ｂが移動され、該特定球受部１０３の下部通孔１０３ａが特定入賞口１０５に整合したときに、該下部通孔１０３ａから下方に流出した遊技球Ｂが特定入賞口１０５に入球することで特定遊技状態が発生する。また、遊技球Ｂが普通球受部１０２に受容された場合は、回転体１０１の回転に伴って遊技球Ｂが移動され、該普通球受部１０２が前記排出部１００ｂに到来すると、遊技球Ｂは普通球受部１０２から径方向外方に流出して普通入賞口１０６に入球するよう構成されている。
「パチンコ必勝ガイド」、(株)白夜書房、２００４年５月１５日、５・１５号、ｐ．２３−２５ In the sorting device, the game ball B enters the rotation area of the rotary body 101 above the rotary body 101 or from the entrance 100a, and the game ball B is stored in the specific ball receiving unit 103 or the normal ball receiving unit 102.

When they are aligned, the game ball B that has flowed downward from the lower through hole 103a enters the specific winning opening 105 to generate a specific game state. Further, when the game ball B is received by the normal ball receiving unit 102, the game ball B is moved as the rotating body 101 rotates, and when the normal ball receiving unit 102 arrives at the discharge unit 100b, the game ball B is configured to flow out radially outward from the normal ball receiving portion 102 and enter the normal winning opening 106.
“Pachinko winning guide”, Hakuyo Shobo Co., Ltd., May 15, 2004, No. 5,15, p. 23-25

前記回転体１０１には、特定球受部１０３に対応する位置にマーク(Ｖ)が表示されており、遊技者は、該特定球受部１０３へ遊技球Ｂが受容されることを期待して遊技を行なっている。すなわち、回転領域に入った遊技球Ｂが普通球受部１０２に受容されてしまうと、遊技者は該遊技球Ｂの行方に興味をなくし、遊技の興趣を高め得るものとはなっていなかった。しかも、図１８に示す振分装置では、全ての普通球受部１０２の構成が同じで、該普通球受部１０２から径方向外方に遊技球Ｂを流出させる構成のため、普通球受部１０２から流出する遊技球Ｂが入球する普通入賞口１０６は一つしか設けられなかった。従って、遊技球Ｂがどの普通球受部１０２に受容されたとしても同じ普通入賞口１０６に入球するため、遊技者に対する報奨としての賞球数は同じであり、普通球受部１０２に受容された遊技球Ｂが排出部１００ｂに移動するまでの間、遊技者は遊技球Ｂの行方に関心を持つことはなく、遊技の面白みに欠ける難点が指摘される。   A mark (V) is displayed on the rotating body 101 at a position corresponding to the specific ball receiving unit 103, and the player expects the game ball B to be received by the specific ball receiving unit 103. Have a game. That is, when the game ball B that has entered the rotation area is received by the normal ball receiving unit 102, the player is not interested in the whereabouts of the game ball B, and it has not been possible to enhance the interest of the game. . Moreover, in the sorting apparatus shown in FIG. 18, all the normal ball receiving portions 102 have the same configuration, and the game ball B flows out from the normal ball receiving portion 102 in the radial direction. There was only one normal winning port 106 through which the game ball B flowing out of the ball 102 entered. Accordingly, no matter which normal ball receiving unit 102 receives the game ball B, it enters the same normal winning slot 106, so the number of prize balls as a reward for the player is the same and is received by the normal ball receiving unit 102. Until the played game ball B moves to the discharge unit 100b, the player is not interested in the whereabouts of the game ball B, and a difficulty that is not interesting in the game is pointed out.

すなわち本発明は、従来の技術に係る遊技機の振分装置に内在する前記課題に鑑み、これを好適に解決するべく提案されたものであって、回転体の球受部に受容した遊技球の行方を最後まで興味を持って遊技を行ない得る興趣の高い遊技機の振分装置を提供することを目的とする。   That is, the present invention has been proposed in order to suitably solve the above-mentioned problems inherent in the gaming machine sorting apparatus according to the prior art, and the gaming ball received in the ball receiving portion of the rotating body.

Further, the decoration member 16 is provided with a first ball entry switch 81 (see FIG. 12) for detecting that the pachinko ball B has entered the first winning port 80. Based on this ball detection, the control device controls the ball payout device to pay out a predetermined number of pachinko balls B as prize balls (rewards).

図１１に示す如く、前記規制部７９に対して第３回転振分体６６の回転方向前側(下流側)には外周壁７２が形成されておらず、該外周壁７２が形成されていない部分に対応する底板６５に、第２入賞口８２が形成されている。すなわち、パチンコ球Ｂを受容している第２球受部７０が規制部７９を通過したときには、該第２球受部７０(回転領域７３)から径方向外方に放出されたパチンコ球Ｂが第２入賞口８２に入球可能に構成される。また装飾部材１６には、前記第２入賞口８２にパチンコ球Ｂが入球したことを検知する第２入球スイッチ８３(図１１参照)が配設されており、該第２入球スイッチ８３の球検知に基づいて前記制御装置は、所定個数のパチンコ球Ｂを賞球(報奨)として払出すよう球払出装置を制御するようになっている。なお、第１入賞口８０に入球した場合と、第２入賞口８２に入球した場合とでは、遊技者に払出される賞球数が異なるよう設定されている。すなわち、前記第２球受部７０および第３球受部７１の底面高さは、受容されているパチンコ球Ｂが前記規制部７９で入球規制されるものと入球規制されないものとに設定されており、該第２球受部７０および第３球受部７１の底面高さは、入球による賞球数が異なる入賞口８０,８２に対応している。また、前提例では、第２入賞口８２への入球により払出される賞球数が、第１入賞口８０への入球により払出される賞球数より多く設定してある。すなわち、第３回転振分体６６の回転方向下流側に位置する入賞口の方を、賞球数が多くなるよう設定することで、第３回転振分体６６の回転により移動されるパチンコ球Ｂの行方に対する関心を長く引き付け得るようにしてある。 As shown in FIG. 11, the outer peripheral wall 72 is not formed on the rotation direction front side (downstream side) of the third rotating distribution body 66 with respect to the restricting portion 79, and the outer peripheral wall 72 is not formed. A second winning opening 82 is formed in the bottom plate 65 corresponding to. That is, when the second ball receiving portion 70 receiving the pachinko sphere B passes the restricting portion 79, the pachinko sphere B released radially outward from the second ball receiving portion 70 (rotating region 73) is It is configured to be able to enter the second winning opening 82. Further, the decorative member 16 is provided with a second ball entry switch 83 (see FIG. 11) for detecting that the pachinko ball B has entered the second winning opening 82, and the second ball entry switch 83. Based on this ball detection, the control device controls the ball payout device to pay out a predetermined number of pachinko balls B as prize balls (rewards). It should be noted that the number of winning balls to be paid out to the player is set differently when entering the first winning opening 80 and when entering the second winning opening 82. That is, the bottom surface height of the second ball receiving portion 70 and the third ball receiving portion 71 is set so that the received pachinko ball B is restricted by the restricting portion 79 and is not restricted. The bottom heights of the second ball receiving unit 70 and the third ball receiving unit 71 correspond to the winning ports 80 and 82 having different numbers of winning balls. Further, in the premise example, the number of winning balls paid out by entering the second winning opening 82 is set to be larger than the number of winning balls paid out by entering the first winning opening 80. In other words, the pachinko ball that is moved by the rotation of the third rotating distribution body 66 is set by increasing the number of winning balls at the winning opening located on the downstream side in the rotation direction of the third rotating distribution body 66. B's whereabouts can be attracted for a long time.

前記装飾部材１６には、受入口２３、第１経路４６、第２経路４７、第３経路５９等を通過するパチンコ球Ｂを検知する複数の検知スイッチ(何れも図示せず)が設けられ、各検知スイッチが接続される前記制御装置は、検知スイッチによるパチンコ球Ｂの検知を条件として前記表示演出装置１４で表示演出を行なわせると共に発光演出装置１５で発光演出を行なわせ、遊技者の興趣を向上させるようになっている。また、各入賞口２４,６２,８０,８２に入球したことを検知する各スイッチ７７,８１,８３によるパチンコ球Ｂの検知を条件としても、制御装置が前記表示演出装置１４や発光演出装置１５で演出を行なわせ、遊技者の興趣を向上させるようにしてある。   The decoration member 16 is provided with a plurality of detection switches (not shown) for detecting pachinko balls B passing through the receiving port 23, the first path 46, the second path 47, the third path 59, and the like. The control device to which each detection switch is connected causes the display effect device 14 to perform a display effect and the light effect effect device 15 to perform a light effect on the condition that the pachinko ball B is detected by the detection switch. Has come to improve. Further, even if the pachinko ball B is detected by the switches 77, 81, 83 for detecting that the balls have entered the winning holes 24, 62, 80, 82, the control device can display the display effect device 14 and the light emission effect device. 15 is directed to improve the interest of the player.

前記装飾部材１６の右側部には、図１〜図３に示す如く、入賞口を開閉する複数(前提例では４つ)の電動式の可変入賞装置８４が上下(縦方向)に離間して配設されている。各可変入賞装置８４は、開放してからの経過時間が予め設定された時間になるか、パチンコ球Ｂの入球数(入賞数)が予め設定された個数に達するかの何れかの終了条件が成立したときに、対応する入賞口を閉成するよう設定されている。そして、各可変入賞装置８４は、前記特定入賞口２４にパチンコ球Ｂが入球することを契機として特定遊技が発生したときに、前記制御装置により所定のパターンで開閉制御されて、遊技者が多数の賞球を獲得し得るチャンスを付与し得るよう設定されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a plurality of (four in the premise example) electric variable prize-winning devices 84 that open and close the winning opening are spaced apart vertically (vertically) on the right side of the decorative member 16. It is arranged. Each of the variable winning devices 84 has an ending condition of whether the elapsed time after opening reaches a preset time or the number of winning pachinko balls B (the number of winning) reaches a preset number. When the is established, the corresponding winning opening is closed. Each variable winning device 84 is controlled to be opened and closed in a predetermined pattern by the control device when a specific game is triggered by the pachinko ball B entering the specific winning port 24, and the player It is set to give a chance to win a large number of prize balls.

〔前提例の作用〕
次に、前述した前提例に係るパチンコ機の振分装置の作用につき説明する。 [Effect of assumption example]
Next, an operation of the pachinko machine sorting apparatus according to the above-described premise example will be described.

前記遊技盤１０の遊技領域１２に打出されたパチンコ球Ｂが、前記受入口２３に入球すると、該パチンコ球Ｂはステージ２９を左右方向に転動し、その勢いが弱くなったときに、前記案内路３０から第１振分装置２５の取入口４４に至る。そして、パチンコ球Ｂは取入口４４から第１入球部４５に通出されて、第１回転振分体３４の外周に落下する。   When the pachinko ball B launched into the game area 12 of the game board 10 enters the receiving port 23, the pachinko ball B rolls on the stage 29 in the left-right direction, and when the momentum is weakened, The guide path 30 leads to the intake 44 of the first sorting device 25. Then, the pachinko ball B is passed from the intake port 44 to the first incoming ball portion 45 and falls to the outer periphery of the first rotating distribution body 34.

前記第１振分装置２５では、前記第１回転振分体３４が常に一定方向に回転しているから、該第１回転振分体３４の凹部３４ａが第１入球部４５に臨んだときにパチンコ球Ｂが該第１入球部４５に通出された場合は、パチンコ球Ｂは凹部３４ａに受け止められた状態で、第１回転振分体３４の回転に伴って右下方に移動する。そして、このパチンコ球Ｂは、前記第１経路４６に放出された後、前記第３振分装置２７に導かれる。   In the first sorting device 25, since the first rotating sorting body 34 is always rotating in a fixed direction, the concave portion 34a of the first rotating sorting body 34 faces the first ball entering portion 45. When the pachinko sphere B is passed through the first entrance 45, the pachinko sphere B moves to the lower right as the first rotating distribution body 34 rotates while being received by the recess 34a. . The pachinko sphere B is released to the first path 46 and then guided to the third sorting device 27.

また、前記取入口４４から第１入球部４５にパチンコ球Ｂが通出されたときに、第１回転振分体３４の凹部３４ａ以外の外周面が第１入球部４５に臨んでいる場合は、取入口４４が左側に偏倚していることから、該パチンコ球Ｂは第１回転振分体３４の外周面に沿って左方に移動した後に通路部材４３および第５画成部材４２で画成される前記第２経路４７に通入する。 In addition, when the pachinko ball B is passed from the intake port 44 to the first incoming ball portion 45, the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating distribution body 34 other than the concave portion 34a faces the first incoming ball portion 45. In this case, since the intake port 44 is biased to the left side, the pachinko ball B moves to the left along the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating distribution body 34 and then the passage member 43 and the fifth defining member 42. The second route 47 defined in the above is entered.

ここで、前記第１入球部４５にパチンコ球Ｂが通出されるタイミングによっては、前記第１回転振分体３４の凹部３４ａにおける回転方向後側の側縁と前記第１板バネ４８との間にパチンコ球Ｂが挟まれることがある。しかるに、第１板バネ４８は、図７に示す如く、第１回転振分体３４における凹部３４ａの側縁で押されるパチンコ球Ｂによって第１回転振分体３４から離間する方向に弾性変形し、該パチンコ球Ｂの移動を許容する。すなわち、第１回転振分体３４における凹部３４ａの側縁との間でパチンコ球Ｂを挟むおそれのある部材を、弾性変形可能な第１板バネ４８としたことで、パチンコ球Ｂが噛み込まれて第１回転振分体３４が異常停止するのを防止することができる。   Here, depending on the timing at which the pachinko ball B is passed through the first ball entering portion 45, the side edge on the rear side in the rotation direction of the concave portion 34 a of the first rotating distribution body 34 and the first leaf spring 48 are arranged. Pachinko balls B may be sandwiched between them. However, as shown in FIG. 7, the first leaf spring 48 is elastically deformed in a direction away from the first rotation distribution body 34 by the pachinko ball B pushed by the side edge of the recess 34 a in the first rotation distribution body 34. The pachinko sphere B is allowed to move. That is, the member that may pinch the pachinko ball B between the side edges of the concave portion 34a in the first rotating distribution body 34 is the elastically deformable first leaf spring 48, so that the pachinko ball B is bitten. It is possible to prevent the first rotating distribution body 34 from being abnormally stopped.

また、前記第１板バネ４８は、パチンコ機の設置姿勢の違いによってパチンコ球Ｂの当接位置が異なる場合であっても、その当該位置に応じて弾性変形して、該パチンコ球Ｂの噛み込みを防止し得る。すなわち、各パチンコ機毎に第１板バネ４８の取付け状態を変える必要はなく、汎用性が高い。しかも、第１回転振分体３４を逆転するよう制御して球噛みを解消するものではないから、制御回路の負担を増加することなく、確実な球噛み防止を図り得る。更には、第１回転振分体３４の凹部３４ａに加工を施すものでもないから、該凹部３４ａにパチンコ球Ｂが受け止められる確率を計設者の意図した確率とするために、別の調節手段を設ける必要もない。   Further, even when the contact position of the pachinko ball B is different depending on the installation posture of the pachinko machine, the first leaf spring 48 is elastically deformed according to the position and the pachinko ball B is engaged. Can be prevented. That is, there is no need to change the mounting state of the first leaf spring 48 for each pachinko machine, and the versatility is high. In addition, since the first rotation allocating body 34 is not controlled to be reversed to eliminate the ball biting, the ball biting can be surely prevented without increasing the load on the control circuit. Further, since the concave portion 34a of the first rotating distribution body 34 is not processed, another adjusting means is used in order to set the probability that the pachinko ball B is received in the concave portion 34a to the probability intended by the measuring instrument. It is not necessary to provide

図７に示すように、前記パチンコ球Ｂによって弾性変形した第１板バネ４８に生じた弾性力は、パチンコ球Ｂを凹部３４ａに押し込んだり、あるいは凹部３４ａ外に押し出すように作用し、パチンコ球Ｂの動きに変化を与えて遊技の興趣を向上し得る。すなわち、遊技者は、前記特定入賞口２４への入球の可能性のある第１経路４６へ導くための凹部３４ａにパチンコ球Ｂが入ることを願って遊技を行なっているので、第１板バネ４８の弾性力によって変化するパチンコ球Ｂの動きに遊技者の関心を引き付けることができる。また、球噛みを防止する第１板バネ４８は構成が簡単で、かつネジ等の固定部材を用いることなく第３画成部材４０に取付けているから、組付け工程が簡単になると共にコストが上昇するのも抑制し得る。   As shown in FIG. 7, the elastic force generated in the first leaf spring 48 elastically deformed by the pachinko ball B acts to push the pachinko ball B into the recess 34a or push it out of the recess 34a. It is possible to improve the fun of the game by changing the movement of B. That is, the player is playing the game in the hope that the pachinko ball B enters the recess 34a for guiding to the first path 46 where there is a possibility of entering the specific winning opening 24. The player's interest can be attracted to the movement of the pachinko ball B that changes due to the elastic force of the spring 48. Further, the first leaf spring 48 for preventing the ball biting is simple in construction and is attached to the third defining member 40 without using a fixing member such as a screw, so that the assembling process is simplified and the cost is reduced. The rise can also be suppressed.

前記第２経路４７を通過したパチンコ球Ｂは前記受皿５３へと導かれ、該パチンコ球Ｂは受皿５３の転動面を周回して排出口から前記受入棚５４の転動面に落下する。このパチンコ球Ｂは、転動面を転動する勢いがなくなると球出口５４ａから第２入球部５８に通出し、第２振分装置２６における第２回転振分体５１の外周に至る。すなわち、第２回転振分体５１へのパチンコ球Ｂの誘導タイミングが一定のものとならず、多様なタイミングとなることで、遊技者の興趣を高めることができる。   The pachinko sphere B that has passed through the second path 47 is guided to the tray 53, and the pachinko sphere B goes around the rolling surface of the tray 53 and falls from the discharge port to the rolling surface of the receiving shelf 54. When the pachinko ball B loses the momentum to roll on the rolling surface, it passes from the ball outlet 54a to the second ball entering portion 58 and reaches the outer periphery of the second rotating sorting body 51 in the second sorting device 26. That is, the induction timing of the pachinko sphere B to the second rotational allocating body 51 is not constant, and various timings can be provided to enhance the player's interest.

前記第２回転振分体５１は常に一定方向に回転しており、該第２回転振分体５１の凹部５１ａが上方に臨んだときにパチンコ球Ｂが球出口５４ａから第２入球部５８に通出された場合は、該パチンコ球Ｂは凹部５１ａに受け止められた状態で、第２回転振分体５１の回転に伴って右方に案内されて、前記第３経路５９および第１経路４６を介して第３振分装置２７に導かれる。なお、球出口５４ａから第２入球部５８にパチンコ球Ｂが通出されたときに、第２回転振分体５１の凹部５１ａ以外の外周面が上側に臨んでいる場合は、球出口５４ａが左側に偏倚していることから、該パチンコ球Ｂは第２回転振分体５１の外周面に沿って左方に移動し、第４経路６０を介して一般入賞口６２に入球する。一般入賞口６２にパチンコ球Ｂが入球した場合は、前記制御装置の制御下に球払出装置が作動して、所定個数のパチンコ球Ｂが賞球として払出される。   The second rotating distribution body 51 is always rotating in a certain direction, and when the concave portion 51a of the second rotating distribution body 51 faces upward, the pachinko ball B passes through the second outlet 58a from the ball outlet 54a. The pachinko ball B is received in the recess 51a and is guided to the right along with the rotation of the second rotating distribution body 51, so that the third path 59 and the first path It is guided to the third sorting device 27 through 46. In addition, when the outer peripheral surface other than the recessed part 51a of the 2nd rotation distribution body 51 faces the upper side when the pachinko ball B is let out from the ball exit 54a to the second entrance 58, the ball exit 54a Is biased to the left side, the pachinko ball B moves to the left along the outer peripheral surface of the second rotary allocating body 51 and enters the general winning opening 62 through the fourth path 60. When the pachinko ball B enters the general winning opening 62, the ball payout device is operated under the control of the control device, and a predetermined number of pachinko balls B are paid out as prize balls.

前記第２振分装置２６においても、前記第２入球部５８にパチンコ球Ｂが通出されるタイミングによっては、前記第２回転振分体５１の凹部５１ａにおける回転方向後側の側縁と前記第２板バネ６３との間にパチンコ球Ｂが挟まれることがある。しかるに、第２板バネ６３は、図１０に示す如く、第２回転振分体５１における凹部５１ａの側縁で押されるパチンコ球Ｂによって第２回転振分体５１から離間する方向に弾性変形し、該パチンコ球Ｂの移動を許容する。すなわち、第２回転振分体５１における凹部５１ａの側縁との間でパチンコ球Ｂを挟むおそれのある部材を、弾性変形可能な第２板バネ６３としたことで、パチンコ球Ｂが噛み込まれて第２回転振分体５１が異常停止するのを防止することができる。また、第２振分装置２６においても、前記段落〔００５０〕,〔００５１〕で述べた第１振分装置２５の第１板バネ４８による作用効果と同じ作用効果を奏する。   Also in the second sorting device 26, depending on the timing at which the pachinko ball B is passed through the second ball entering portion 58, the side edge on the rear side in the rotational direction in the recess 51a of the second rotating sorting body 51 and the The pachinko ball B may be sandwiched between the second leaf spring 63. However, as shown in FIG. 10, the second leaf spring 63 is elastically deformed in a direction away from the second rotation distribution body 51 by the pachinko ball B pushed by the side edge of the recess 51 a in the second rotation distribution body 51. The pachinko sphere B is allowed to move. That is, the member that may pinch the pachinko ball B with the side edge of the concave portion 51a in the second rotating distribution body 51 is the second leaf spring 63 that can be elastically deformed, so that the pachinko ball B is bitten. It is possible to prevent the second rotating distribution body 51 from being abnormally stopped due to a rare occurrence. The second distribution device 26 also has the same operational effects as the operational effects of the first plate spring 48 of the first distribution device 25 described in the paragraphs [0050] and [0051].

前記第１振分装置２５から直接第１経路４６に導かれたパチンコ球Ｂまたは第２振分装置２６から第３経路５９を介して第１経路４６に導かれたパチンコ球Ｂは、該第１経路４６の通出口４６ａから案内通路７５に通出され、該案内通路７５を前側に流下する。そして、パチンコ球Ｂは、図１５に示す如く、案内通路７５の前左側部に形成された通入口７５ａを介して前記第３振分装置２７の回転領域７３に対して右方から通入される。   The pachinko sphere B led directly from the first sorting device 25 to the first path 46 or the pachinko sphere B led from the second sorting device 26 to the first path 46 via the third path 59 is The first passage 46 is led from the outlet 46a to the guide passage 75, and flows down the guide passage 75 to the front side. Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the pachinko ball B is inserted from the right side into the rotation region 73 of the third sorting device 27 through the inlet 75 a formed at the front left side of the guide passage 75. The

前記第３回転振分体６６は常に一定方向に回転しており、該第３回転振分体６６の第１球受部６９が通入口７５ａに臨んだときにパチンコ球Ｂが該通入口７５ａから回転領域７３に通入した場合は、該パチンコ球Ｂが第１球受部６９に受容される。なお、第１球受部６９には底面に通孔６９ａが形成されているが、第３回転振分体６６の下方には支持面７６が位置しているから、該通孔６９ａに入っているパチンコ球Ｂは通孔６９ａから落下することなく第３回転振分体６６の回転に伴って正面側(左側)に移動される。そして、第１球受部６９(通孔６９ａ)が支持面７６のない位置まで移動すると、該第１球受部６９に受容されているパチンコ球Ｂは通孔６９ａから落下し、前記特定入賞口２４に入球する(図１５(ａ)参照)。前記特定入球スイッチ７７がパチンコ球Ｂを検知すると、該球検知に基づいて前記制御装置は特別遊技状態を発生する。すなわち、前記複数の可変入賞装置８４が所定のパターンで開閉制御され、遊技者に多数の賞球を獲得するチャンスが付与される。   The third rotating distribution body 66 is always rotating in a certain direction, and when the first ball receiving portion 69 of the third rotating distribution body 66 faces the inlet 75a, the pachinko sphere B is in the inlet 75a. The pachinko ball B is received by the first ball receiving portion 69 when it enters the rotation area 73 from the first position. A through hole 69a is formed in the bottom surface of the first ball receiving portion 69. However, since the support surface 76 is located below the third rotating distribution body 66, the first ball receiving portion 69 enters the through hole 69a. The pachinko sphere B that is present is moved to the front side (left side) with the rotation of the third rotating distribution body 66 without falling from the through hole 69a. When the first ball receiving portion 69 (through hole 69a) moves to a position where the support surface 76 is not present, the pachinko ball B received by the first ball receiving portion 69 falls from the through hole 69a, and the specific prize is received. A ball enters the mouth 24 (see FIG. 15A). When the specific entrance switch 77 detects the pachinko ball B, the control device generates a special game state based on the ball detection. That is, the plurality of variable winning devices 84 are controlled to be opened and closed in a predetermined pattern, and the player is given a chance to win a large number of prize balls.

前記第３回転振分体６６の第２球受部７０が通入口７５ａに臨んだときにパチンコ球Ｂが該通入口７５ａから回転領域７３に通入した場合は、該パチンコ球Ｂが第２球受部７０に受容された状態で、第３回転振分体６６の回転に伴って正面側(左側)に移動される。なお、第２球受部７０の底面には通孔は形成されていないから、該第２球受部７０に受容されているパチンコ球Ｂは前記特定入賞口２４の形成位置を通過して前記規制部７９の開口に臨む位置まで移動する。しかるに、図１４(ａ)に示す如く、規制部７９における開口上縁高さは第２球受部７０に受容されているパチンコ球Ｂの通入を規制する寸法に設定されているから、該パチンコ球Ｂは規制部７９に通入することなく、第３回転振分体６６の回転に伴って更に下流側(左後方)まで移動する。そして、第２球受部７０が規制部７９を通過して外周壁７２のない位置に到来すると、該第２球受部７０に受容されていたパチンコ球Ｂは径方向外方に放出されて底板６５の上面を転動して、前記第２入賞口８２に入球する(図１５(ｂ)参照)。第２入賞口８２にパチンコ球Ｂが入球したことを第２入球スイッチ８３が検知したことに基づいて、前記制御装置の制御下に球払出装置が作動して、所定個数のパチンコ球Ｂが賞球として払出される。   If the pachinko ball B enters the rotation region 73 from the entrance 75a when the second ball receiving portion 70 of the third rotational distribution body 66 faces the entrance 75a, the pachinko sphere B is second In a state of being received by the ball receiver 70, it is moved to the front side (left side) along with the rotation of the third rotating distribution body 66. Since no through hole is formed in the bottom surface of the second ball receiving portion 70, the pachinko ball B received in the second ball receiving portion 70 passes through the formation position of the specific winning opening 24 and It moves to a position facing the opening of the restricting portion 79. However, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), the height of the upper edge of the opening in the restricting portion 79 is set to a dimension that restricts the passage of the pachinko balls B received in the second ball receiving portion 70. The pachinko ball B does not enter the restricting portion 79 and moves further to the downstream side (left rear) with the rotation of the third rotation distribution body 66. Then, when the second ball receiving portion 70 passes through the restricting portion 79 and arrives at a position without the outer peripheral wall 72, the pachinko sphere B received by the second ball receiving portion 70 is released radially outward. The upper surface of the bottom plate 65 rolls to enter the second winning opening 82 (see FIG. 15B). Based on the fact that the second entrance switch 83 detects that the pachinko ball B has entered the second winning port 82, the ball dispensing device operates under the control of the control device, and a predetermined number of pachinko balls B Are paid out as prize balls.

前記第３回転振分体６６の第３球受部７１が通入口７５ａに臨んだときにパチンコ球Ｂが該通入口７５ａから回転領域７３に通入した場合は、該パチンコ球Ｂが第３球受部７１に受容された状態で、第３回転振分体６６の回転に伴って正面側(左側)に移動される。なお、第３球受部７１の底面にも通孔は形成されていないから、該第３球受部７１に受容されているパチンコ球Ｂは前記特定入賞口２４の形成位置を通過して前記規制部７９の開口に臨む位置まで移動する。図１４(ｂ)に示す如く、規制部７９における開口上縁高さは、第３球受部７１に受容されているパチンコ球Ｂの通入を許容する寸法に設定されているから、該パチンコ球Ｂは規制部７９に通入し、前記第１入賞口８０に入球する(図１５(ｃ)参照)。そして、第１入賞口８０にパチンコ球Ｂが入球したことを第１入球スイッチ８１が検知したことに基づいて、前記制御装置の制御下に球払出装置が作動して、所定個数のパチンコ球Ｂが賞球として払出される。   If the pachinko sphere B enters the rotation area 73 from the entrance 75a when the third ball receiving portion 71 of the third rotating distribution body 66 faces the entrance 75a, the pachinko sphere B is third. In a state of being received by the ball receiving portion 71, it is moved to the front side (left side) with the rotation of the third rotating distribution body 66. In addition, since the through hole is not formed in the bottom surface of the third ball receiving portion 71, the pachinko ball B received by the third ball receiving portion 71 passes through the formation position of the specific winning opening 24 and It moves to a position facing the opening of the restricting portion 79. As shown in FIG. 14 (b), the height of the upper edge of the opening in the restricting portion 79 is set to a size that allows the pachinko ball B received in the third ball receiving portion 71 to pass. The ball B enters the restricting portion 79 and enters the first winning opening 80 (see FIG. 15C). Then, based on the fact that the first entrance switch 81 detects that the pachinko ball B has entered the first winning opening 80, the ball dispensing device operates under the control of the control device, and a predetermined number of pachinko balls are operated. Ball B is paid out as a prize ball.

前提例の第３振分装置２７によれば、前記通入口７５ａを基準として第３回転振分体６６の回転方向下流側に順に、特定入賞口２４、第１入賞口８０および第２入賞口８２を設けたから、遊技者は、第３回転振分体６６の球受部に通入口７５ａで受容されたパチンコ球Ｂが、第１入賞口８０(規制部７９の位置)まで移動する前に第３回転振分体６６から落下することに期待して遊技を行なうことができる。 According to the premise example of the third distribution device 27, the specific winning port 24, the first winning port 80, and the second winning port are sequentially arranged downstream in the rotation direction of the third rotating distribution body 66 with respect to the inlet 75 a. Since the player 82 is provided, the player can move the pachinko ball B received at the entrance 75a to the ball receiving portion of the third rotary allocating body 66 before moving to the first winning port 80 (position of the restricting portion 79). can Nau line game expecting to fall from the third rotation sort body 66.

また、特定入賞口２４より下流側に位置する第１入賞口８０および第２入賞口８２では、入球したときに払出される賞球数が異なり、かつ下流側の第２入賞口８２の方が賞球数が多く設定されているから、遊技者は、球受部に受容されているパチンコ球Ｂが特定入賞口２４の位置を通過したとしても、パチンコ球Ｂが第１入賞口８０に入球することなく第２入賞口８２に入球する位置まで移動することを期待して遊技を行ない得る。すなわち、第３回転振分体６６で移動されるパチンコ球Ｂが特定入賞口２４の位置を通過した以後のパチンコ球Ｂの行方に関心を向けさせることができ、遊技の興趣を向上し得る。   Further, the first winning port 80 and the second winning port 82 located on the downstream side of the specific winning port 24 are different in the number of winning balls to be paid out when they enter the ball, and the second winning port 82 on the downstream side is different. However, since the number of prize balls is set large, even if the pachinko ball B received in the ball receiving part passes through the position of the specific prize opening 24, the player will have the pachinko ball B in the first prize opening 80. A game can be played in the hope that it will move to the position where it enters the second winning opening 82 without entering the ball. In other words, the pachinko sphere B moved by the third rotational allocating body 66 can be paid attention to the whereabouts of the pachinko sphere B after passing the position of the specific winning opening 24, and the interest of the game can be improved.

前記外壁部７２により各球受部６９,７０,７１の底面が正面から視認困難となっているから、回転領域７３に通入したパチンコ球Ｂがどの入賞口２４,８０,８２に対応する球受部６９,７０,７１に受容されたか分かり難く、パチンコ球Ｂの動きに対する関心を持続させ得る。しかも、前記規制部７９によってパチンコ球Ｂが入球する入賞口８０,８２が分かれるようになっているから、第３回転振分体６６の球受部７０,７１にパチンコ球Ｂが受容された時点では賞球数の異なるどの入賞口８０,８２に入球するかは分かり難く、第３回転振分体６６によるパチンコ球Ｂの振分けに期待感や関心を引き付けて面白みを持続させることができる。なお、規制部７９は、第３回転振分体６６を指向して開口するドーム状としたことで、第３回転振分体６６の回転に伴って側方からパチンコ球Ｂが到来しても、意図しない球受部(第２球受部７０)に受容されているパチンコ球Ｂの第１入賞口８０への入球を確実に規制し得る。   Since the bottom surface of each ball receiving portion 69, 70, 71 is difficult to see from the front by the outer wall portion 72, the pachinko ball B that has passed through the rotation region 73 corresponds to which winning port 24, 80, 82. It is difficult to know whether it has been received by the receiving parts 69, 70, 71, and interest in the movement of the pachinko sphere B can be maintained. In addition, since the winning holes 80 and 82 into which the pachinko balls B enter are separated by the restricting portion 79, the pachinko balls B are received by the ball receiving portions 70 and 71 of the third rotating distribution body 66. At the time, it is difficult to know which winning holes 80 and 82 have different numbers of winning balls, and it is possible to maintain the fun by attracting expectation and interest to the distribution of the pachinko ball B by the third rotating sorter 66. . The restricting portion 79 has a dome shape that opens toward the third rotation distribution body 66, so that even if the pachinko ball B arrives from the side as the third rotation distribution body 66 rotates. Further, it is possible to reliably restrict the entrance of the pachinko ball B received by the unintended ball receiving portion (second ball receiving portion 70) into the first winning opening 80.

(実施例の第３振分装置)
図１６および図１７は、第３振分装置の実施例を示すものであって、既出の同一部材等には同じ符号を付すと共に詳細説明は省略する。実施例の第３振分装置８５では、底板６５に形成した開口部６５ａにおける前側に位置する外周壁７２の右端側に、前記第１経路４６によって導かれたパチンコ球Ｂを回転領域７３に通入するための通入口７５ａが形成された案内通路７５が設けられている。また、外周壁７２を挟んで通入口７５ａとは反対側から第３回転振分体６６の回転方向下流側の通入口７５ａまでの領域に、複数(実施例では５つであるが３つ以上であればよい)の入賞口８６,８７,８８,８９,９０が底板６５に形成されて、回転領域７３から放出されたパチンコ球Ｂが入球可能に構成されている。 (Third sorter real 施例)

Further, the other winning holes are set as normal winning holes 87, 88, 89, 90 through which a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out based on the winning ball. In the real施例, the four ordinary winning opening, in order from the upstream side to the downstream side, the first ordinary winning hole 87, second ordinary winning hole 88, third ordinary winning holes 89, and the fourth ordinary winning holes 90 Referred to. The number of winning balls based on the winnings at the respective normal winning openings 87, 88, 89, 90 is as follows: first normal winning opening 87 <second normal winning opening 88 <third normal winning opening 89 <fourth normal winning opening 90 relationships are set.

各普通入賞口８７,８８,８９,９０には、開口上縁高さが異なる規制部９１,９２,９３,９４が対応して設けられており、これら規制部についても、普通入賞口と対応して上流側から下流側に順に、第１規制部９１、第２規制部９２、第３規制部９３および第４規制部９４と指称する。なお、規制部の基本的な構成は、前提例と同じであって、第３回転振分体６６の回転中心を指向する側が開口する略ドーム状に形成されて、前記回転領域７３から放出されたパチンコ球Ｂが、規制部９１,９２,９３,９４の開口を介して対応する普通入賞口８７,８８,８９,９０に入球可能に構成されている。 Each of the regular winning openings 87, 88, 89, 90 is provided with restriction portions 91, 92, 93, 94 having different opening upper edge heights, and these restricting portions also correspond to the normal winning openings. Then, the first restricting portion 91, the second restricting portion 92, the third restricting portion 93, and the fourth restricting portion 94 are referred to in order from the upstream side to the downstream side. Note that the basic configuration of the restricting portion is the same as that of the premise example, and is formed in a substantially dome shape having an opening on the side directed to the rotation center of the third rotation allocating body 66, and is released from the rotation region 73. The pachinko ball B is configured to be able to enter the corresponding normal winning ports 87, 88, 89, 90 through the openings of the restricting portions 91, 92, 93, 94.

前記第３回転振分体６６には、各入賞口８６,８７,８８,８９,９０に対応する球受部９５,９６,９７,９８,９９が形成されており、これら球受部についても、入賞口と対応して特定球受部９５、第１球受部９６、第２球受部９７、第３球受部９８および第４球受部９９と指称する。そして、５つの球受部９５,９６,９７,９８,９９は、底面高さが夫々異なると共に、最も底面高さが低い球受部を基準として、第３回転振分体６６の回転方向に順に底面高さが高くなるよう設定されている(図１７での矢印の方向が回転方向)。すなわち、実施例では第１球受部９６の底面高さが最も低く設定され、第２球受部９７、第３球受部９８、第４球受部９９および特定球受部９５の順で底面高さが高くなるよう設定してある。 The third rotating distribution body 66 is formed with ball receiving portions 95, 96, 97, 98, 99 corresponding to the winning ports 86, 87, 88, 89, 90. The specific ball receiving unit 95, the first ball receiving unit 96, the second ball receiving unit 97, the third ball receiving unit 98, and the fourth ball receiving unit 99 are designated as corresponding to the winning opening. The five ball receiving portions 95, 96, 97, 98, and 99 have different bottom surface heights, and the rotation direction of the third rotating distribution body 66 is based on the ball receiving portion having the lowest bottom surface height. The height of the bottom surface is set so as to increase in order (the direction of the arrow in FIG. 17 is the rotation direction). That is, in the real施例set lowest bottom surface height of the first ball receiving portion 96, second ball receiving portion 97, the third ball receiving portion 98, the order of the fourth ball receiving part 99 and a particular ball receiving part 95 The bottom height is set to be high.

また前記第１球受部９６、第２球受部９７、第３球受部９８および第４球受部９９の各底面高さは、前記第１規制部９１、第２規制部９２、第３規制部９３および第４規制部９４の開口上縁高さに対応するよう設定されている。すなわち、図１７に示す如く、第１球受部９６は、受容されているパチンコ球Ｂを、第１規制部９１で規制されることなく通入可能な高さレベルに支持するよう設定される。また第２球受部９７は、受容されているパチンコ球Ｂを、第２規制部９２で規制されることなく通入可能で、かつ第１規制部９１では通入が規制される高さレベルに支持するよう設定される。また第３球受部９８は、受容されているパチンコ球Ｂを、第３規制部９３で規制されることなく通入可能で、かつ第１規制部９１および第２規制部９２では通入が規制される高さレベルに支持するよう設定される。更に、第４球受部９９は、受容されているパチンコ球Ｂを、第４規制部９４で規制されることなく通入可能で、かつ第１規制部９１、第２規制部９２および第３規制部９３では通入が規制される高さレベルに支持するよう設定される。言い替えるなら、各規制部については、対応する球受部に受容されているパチンコ球Ｂの通入は許容するが、それより高い底面高さの球受部に受容されているパチンコ球Ｂの通入は規制するよう設定されている。   The heights of the bottom surfaces of the first ball receiving portion 96, the second ball receiving portion 97, the third ball receiving portion 98, and the fourth ball receiving portion 99 are the first restricting portion 91, the second restricting portion 92, It is set so as to correspond to the opening upper edge height of the third restricting portion 93 and the fourth restricting portion 94. That is, as shown in FIG. 17, the first ball receiving portion 96 is set so as to support the received pachinko ball B at a height level that allows it to pass without being restricted by the first restricting portion 91. . In addition, the second ball receiving portion 97 allows the accepted pachinko ball B to pass through without being restricted by the second restricting portion 92, and the height level at which the first restricting portion 91 restricts the passage. Set to support. Further, the third ball receiving portion 98 can pass the received pachinko sphere B without being restricted by the third restricting portion 93, and the first restricting portion 91 and the second restricting portion 92 are allowed to pass. Set to support a regulated height level. Further, the fourth ball receiving unit 99 can pass the received pachinko sphere B without being regulated by the fourth regulating unit 94, and the first regulating unit 91, the second regulating unit 92, and the third The restricting portion 93 is set so as to support a height level at which entry is restricted. In other words, for each restricting portion, the pachinko sphere B received in the corresponding ball receiving portion is allowed to pass, but the pachinko sphere B received in the ball receiving portion having a higher bottom surface height is allowed to pass. The entry is set to be restricted.

実施例における第３振分装置８５においては、前記モータ３７によって一定方向(図１６の時計方向)に回転している第３回転振分体６６の回転領域７３に対し、通入口７５ａを介して右方からパチンコ球Ｂが通入することで、該パチンコ球Ｂは、５種類の球受部９５,９６,９７,９８,９９の何れかに受容されて、前記５つの入賞口８６,８７,８８,８９,９０の何れかに振分けられて入球される。すなわち、パチンコ球Ｂが第１球受部９６に受容された場合は、該第１球受部９６が第３回転振分体６６の回転に伴って外周壁７２に沿って左方に移動し、第１規制部９１の開口に臨む位置に到来したときにパチンコ球Ｂが該第１規制部９１の開口に通入し、対応する第１普通入賞口８７に入球する。これに対してパチンコ球Ｂが第２球受部９７に受容された場合は、第３回転振分体６６の回転に伴って移動する第２球受部９７が第１規制部９１の開口に臨む位置に到来しても、該第１規制部９１によってパチンコ球Ｂの通入は規制されて、第１規制部９１の位置を通過する。そして、第２球受部９７が第２規制部９２の開口に臨む位置に到来したときに、パチンコ球Ｂが該第２規制部９２の開口に通入し、対応する第２普通入賞口８８に入球する。また、パチンコ球Ｂが第３球受部９８または第４球受部９９に受容された場合は、第２球受部９７の場合と同様に、対応する第３規制部９３または第４規制部９４の位置まではパチンコ球Ｂを受容したまま移動し、対応する第３規制部９３または第４規制部９４の開口に臨む位置に到来したときに、パチンコ球Ｂが第３規制部９３または第４規制部９４の開口に通入し、対応する第３普通入賞口８９または第４普通入賞口９０に入球する。なお、各普通入賞口８７,８８,８９,９０にパチンコ球Ｂが入球したときには、予め設定された対応の数の賞球が払出される。 In the third sorter 85 in the real施例, with respect to the rotation region 73 of the third rotating sorting member 66 is rotated in a predetermined direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 16) by the motor 37, through the passage inlet 75a When the pachinko sphere B is inserted from the right side, the pachinko sphere B is received by any of the five ball receiving portions 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, and the five winning openings 86, The ball is distributed to any of 87, 88, 89, and 90. That is, when the pachinko ball B is received by the first ball receiving portion 96, the first ball receiving portion 96 moves to the left along the outer peripheral wall 72 with the rotation of the third rotating distribution body 66. When the ball reaches the position facing the opening of the first restricting portion 91, the pachinko ball B enters the opening of the first restricting portion 91 and enters the corresponding first normal winning opening 87. On the other hand, when the pachinko sphere B is received by the second sphere receiving portion 97, the second sphere receiving portion 97 that moves in accordance with the rotation of the third rotating distribution body 66 is formed in the opening of the first restricting portion 91. Even when the position reaches the position, the first restricting portion 91 restricts the passage of the pachinko ball B and passes the position of the first restricting portion 91. When the second ball receiving portion 97 arrives at the position facing the opening of the second restricting portion 92, the pachinko ball B passes through the opening of the second restricting portion 92, and the corresponding second normal winning opening 88. Enter the ball. In addition, when the pachinko ball B is received by the third ball receiving portion 98 or the fourth ball receiving portion 99, the corresponding third restricting portion 93 or fourth restricting portion is the same as in the case of the second ball receiving portion 97. When the pachinko sphere B moves to the position 94 and receives the pachinko sphere B and reaches the position facing the opening of the corresponding third restricting portion 93 or the fourth restricting portion 94, the pachinko sphere B moves to the third restricting portion 93 or the The player enters the opening of the fourth restricting portion 94 and enters the corresponding third ordinary winning opening 89 or fourth ordinary winning opening 90. In addition, when the pachinko ball B enters each of the normal winning holes 87, 88, 89, 90, a corresponding number of prize balls set in advance are paid out.

前記パチンコ球Ｂが前記特定球受部９５に受容された場合は、第３回転振分体６６の回転に伴って移動する特定球受部９５からは、全ての規制部９１,９２,９３,９４の位置を通過するまでパチンコ球Ｂは放出されず、対応する特定入賞口８６に臨む位置に到来した際にパチンコ球Ｂが放出される。そして、特定入賞口８６にパチンコ球Ｂが入球した場合は特別遊技状態が発生し、遊技者に多数の賞球を獲得するチャンスが付与される。   When the pachinko sphere B is received by the specific ball receiving portion 95, all the restricting portions 91, 92, 93, The pachinko sphere B is not released until it passes the position 94, and the pachinko sphere B is released when it arrives at the position facing the corresponding specific winning opening 86. When the pachinko ball B enters the specific winning opening 86, a special game state occurs, and the player is given a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls.

実施例の第３振分装置８５では、通入口７５ａを基準として第３回転振分体６６の回転方向の最下流側に特定入賞口８６を設けたから、遊技者は、通入口７５ａから回転領域７３に通入して球受部に受容されたパチンコ球Ｂが、最後まで他の入賞口に入らないことを期待して遊技を行なうことができる。すなわち、球受部に受容されているパチンコ球Ｂが規制部に到来する毎に、通入するか否かに遊技者の関心を引き付けることができ、遊技の興趣を向上し得る。 In the third sorter 85 real施例, because provided a particular winning hole 86 on the most downstream side in the rotation direction of the third rotary sorting member 66 through the inlet 75a as a reference, the player rotates the passing inlet 75a It is possible to play a game with the expectation that pachinko balls B that have passed through the region 73 and received by the ball receiving portion will not enter the other winning holes. That is, every time the pachinko ball B received by the ball receiving unit arrives at the restricting unit, it is possible to attract the player's interest as to whether or not the pachinko ball B is allowed to enter, thereby improving the interest of the game.
