可動式のステージは、転動部上の遊技球が可動体と接触することにより、遊技球の挙動を積極的に不規則に変化させるため、遊技球の挙動に対する遊技者の興趣を固定式のステージに比較して喚起できる利点がある。 The movable stage positively and irregularly changes the behavior of the game ball when the game ball on the rolling part comes into contact with the movable body, so that the player's interest in the behavior of the game ball is fixed. There is an advantage that can be evoked compared to the stage.

しかし、従来の可動式ステージは、可動転動部が左右に往復移動したり、回転体が縦軸廻りに回転して、転動部の上面側で遊技球の挙動を変化させる構成であって、遊技球が比較的短時間でステージを通過する構造であるため、間持ちが悪く遊技者の注意を十分に惹き付け得ない欠点がある。 However, the conventional movable stage is configured to change the behavior of the game ball on the upper surface side of the rolling part by moving the movable rolling part to reciprocate left and right or rotating the rotating body around the vertical axis. Since the structure is such that the game ball passes through the stage in a relatively short period of time, there is a drawback that it is poor in holding time and cannot attract the player's attention sufficiently.

本発明は、このような従来の問題点に鑑み、ステージで遊技球を振り分けて遊技盤の前側に落下させる際の間持ちを良くして、遊技者の興趣をより喚起できるステージを備えた弾球遊技機を提供することを目的とする。 In view of such a conventional problem, the present invention improves the holding time when the game balls are distributed on the stage and dropped to the front side of the game board, thereby providing a bullet equipped with a stage that can further enhance the interest of the player.

中央役物１８の下側の左右略中央には、この中央役物１８と最下部のアウト球口３５との間に第１特別図柄始動手段２０と第２特別図柄始動手段２１とが上下方向に配置されている。そして、中央役物１８の左下側には左打ち通路２８を置いて複数個の普通入賞手段２３が配置され、また右下側には普通図柄始動手段１９、開閉入賞手段２２、普通入賞手段２３等が配置されている。 The first special symbol starting means 20 and the second special symbol starting means 21 are arranged in the vertical direction between the central accessory 18 and the lowermost ball outlet 35 at the center of the left and right of the lower side of the central accessory 18. Is arranged. A plurality of normal winning means 23 are arranged on the lower left side of the central accessory 18 with a left-handed passage 28, and on the lower right side, a normal symbol starting means 19, an open / close winning means 22, and a normal winning means 23 are arranged. Etc. are arranged.

前構造体３２Ａは左打ち通路２８側に開口する球誘導口３６と、この球誘導口３６からの遊技球をステージ３４へと案内する球案内通路３７とを有し、球誘導口３６、球案内通路３７を経てステージ３４へと誘導された遊技球を、そのステージ３４で左右に振り分けて第１特別図柄始動手段２０の上方から遊技盤１２の前側へと落下させるようになっている。また前構造体３２Ａにはその前面等の適当箇所に普通図柄表示手段２４、第１特別図柄表示手段２５、第２特別図柄表示手段２６が装着されている。 The front structure 32A has a ball guide opening 36 that opens to the left-handed passage 28 side, and a ball guide passage 37 that guides a game ball from the ball guide opening 36 to the stage 34. The game balls guided to the stage 34 through the guide passage 37 are distributed to the left and right on the stage 34 and dropped from above the first special symbol starting means 20 to the front side of the game board 12. The front structure 32A is provided with normal symbol display means 24, first special symbol display means 25, and second special symbol display means 26 at appropriate locations such as the front surface.

普通図柄表示手段２４は普通図柄を変動表示するためのもので、複数種類の普通図柄（例えば２種類の「○」「×」）に対応する複数個の発光素子により構成されており、普通図柄始動手段１９が遊技球を検出することを条件に２個の発光素子が交互に点灯するように所定時間点滅して、普通図柄始動手段１９の遊技球の検出時に抽選した乱数値が予め定められた当たり判定値と一致した場合に当たり態様の「○」側の発光素子が点灯し、それ以外の場合に外れ態様の「×」側の発光素子が点灯して停止する。なお、変動後の普通図柄は１／１０程度の所定の確率で当たり態様となる。 The normal symbol display means 24 is for variably displaying normal symbols, and is composed of a plurality of light emitting elements corresponding to a plurality of types of normal symbols (for example, two types of “O” and “X”). Under the condition that the starting means 19 detects a game ball, the two light-emitting elements blink for a predetermined time so that they are alternately turned on, and a random number value drawn when the normal symbol starting means 19 detects the game ball is determined in advance. The light emitting element on the “◯” side in the hit state is turned on when the hit determination value is matched, and the light emitting element on the “×” side in the off state is turned on and stopped in other cases. In addition, the normal symbol after change will be in a hit mode with a predetermined probability of about 1/10.

第１特別図柄表示手段２５、第２特別図柄表示手段２６は発光部位の変化等で第１特別図柄、第２特別図柄を変動表示可能なセグメント式等の表示手段により構成されており、第１特別図柄表示手段２５は第１特別図柄始動手段２０が、第２特別図柄表示手段２６は第２特別図柄始動手段２１が夫々遊技球を検出することを条件に、第１特別図柄、第２特別図柄が所定時間変動して、第１特別図柄始動手段２０、第２特別図柄始動手段２１の遊技球の検出時に抽選された乱数値が予め定められた大当たり判定値と一致した場合に所定の大当たり態様で、それ以外の場合に外れ態様で停止するようになっている。 The first special symbol display means 25 and the second special symbol display means 26 are constituted by a display unit such as a segment type capable of variably displaying the first special symbol and the second special symbol by a change in the light emitting part, etc. The special symbol display means 25 is detected on the condition that the first special symbol start means 20 and the second special symbol display means 26 on the condition that the second special symbol start means 21 detects the game ball, respectively. When the symbol fluctuates for a predetermined time and the random number value lottery when the first special symbol starter 20 and the second special symbol starter 21 detect the game ball coincides with a predetermined jackpot determination value, the predetermined jackpot In the mode, it is stopped in the off mode in other cases.

なお、変動後の第１特別図柄、第２特別図柄は、通常確率状態中は１／３５０等の通常確率で大当たり態様となり、大当たり状態終了後の高確率状態中は１／３５等の高確率で大当たり態様となる。大当たり状態中の場合には第１特別図柄、第２特別図柄は何れも変動しないし、一方が変動中の場合には他方は変動しない。また各特別図柄の始動検出は所定の上限数（例えば４）まで保留可能であり、両方に１以上の保留がある場合には、第２特別図柄表示手段２６の図柄変動が優先する。更に高確率状態中は第１特別図柄、第２特別図柄の変動時間も短縮される。 Note that the first special symbol and the second special symbol after the change are in a big hit mode with a normal probability of 1/350 etc. during the normal probability state, and a high probability of 1/35 etc. in the high probability state after the big hit state ends. It becomes a big hit mode. Neither the first special symbol nor the second special symbol changes when the big hit state is in effect, and the other does not change when one is changing. Further, the start detection of each special symbol can be suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4), and when both have one or more suspensions, the symbol variation of the second special symbol display means 26 has priority. Furthermore, during the high probability state, the variation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is also shortened.

画像表示手段３３は第１特別図柄表示手段２５、第２特別図柄表示手段２６に対応する演出図柄表示手段４０を構成するもので、第１特別図柄、第２特別図柄の変動時にその図柄変動に同期して変動する１個又は複数個、例えば３個の演出図柄４０ａ〜４０ｃを変動表示する。演出図柄４０ａ〜４０ｃは第１特別図柄始動手段２０、第２特別図柄始動手段２１の遊技球の検出を条件に、抽選により決定された所定の演出図柄変動パターンを経て所定時間変動した後、第１特別図柄、第２特別図柄の変動終了に同期して所定の順序で順次停止する。なお、演出図柄表示手段４０は第１特別図柄表示手段２５、第２特別図柄表示手段２６に対応して別々に設けてもよい。 The image display means 33 constitutes the effect symbol display means 40 corresponding to the first special symbol display means 25 and the second special symbol display means 26. When the first special symbol and the second special symbol change, the image change means 33 One or a plurality of, for example, three effect symbols 40a to 40c that fluctuate synchronously are variably displayed. The effect symbols 40a to 40c change for a predetermined time through a predetermined effect symbol variation pattern determined by lottery on the condition that the first special symbol starter 20 and the second special symbol starter 21 detect the game balls. It stops sequentially in a predetermined order in synchronization with the end of the fluctuation of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The effect symbol display means 40 may be provided separately corresponding to the first special symbol display means 25 and the second special symbol display means 26.

演出図柄４０ａ〜４０ｃの変動後の停止図柄は、第１特別図柄、第２特別図柄が大当たり態様で停止する場合には全てが揃う大当たり演出態様となり、第１特別図柄、第２特別図柄が外れ態様で停止する場合には少なくとも一部が異なる外れ演出態様となる。 When the first and second special symbols stop in the big win mode, the stop symbol after the change of the production symbols 40a to 40c becomes a big hit directing mode in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol come off. In the case of stopping in a mode, at least a part is a different production mode.

例えば、演出図柄４０ａ〜４０ｃには０〜９までの数字図柄が使用されており、特別図柄が大当たり態様で停止する場合には演出図柄４０ａ〜４０ｃは「７・７・７」等の大当たり演出態様で停止し、特別図柄が外れ態様で停止する場合には演出図柄４０ａ〜４０ｃは「２・４・５」等の外れ演出態様で停止する。 For example, numerical symbols from 0 to 9 are used for the production symbols 40a to 40c, and when the special symbols are stopped in a big hit mode, the production symbols 40a to 40c are jackpot productions such as "7 / 7.7". When it stops in the mode and the special symbol stops in the off mode, the effect symbols 40a to 40c stop in the off mode such as “2, 4, 5”.

第１特別図柄始動手段２０は非開閉式であって、画像表示手段３３の下側に配置されており、この第１特別図柄始動手段２０は右打ち通路２９に比較して左打ち通路２８を経て落下する遊技球が入賞し易くなっている。 The first special symbol starting means 20 is a non-opening / closing type, and is arranged below the image display means 33. The first special symbol starting means 20 has a left-handed passage 28 compared to a right-handed passage 29. Game balls that fall after that are easier to win.

第２特別図柄始動手段２１は開閉式であって、左右一対の開閉部材２１ａを備えた電動チューリップ式入賞手段等により構成され、普通図柄表示手段２４の変動後の普通図柄が当たり態様で停止した場合に所定の開放パターンで開放するようになっている。 The second special symbol starting means 21 is of an open / close type, and is constituted by an electric tulip type winning means having a pair of left and right opening / closing members 21a. The normal symbol after the fluctuation of the normal symbol display means 24 stops in a hit state. In some cases, it is opened with a predetermined opening pattern.

第２特別図柄始動手段２１の開放パターンには、開放時間の短い通常パターン（例えば０．２秒×１回）と開放時間の長い特別パターン（例えば２秒×３回）とがあり、通常確率状態中は通常パターンが、高確率状態中は特別パターンが夫々選択される。 The opening pattern of the second special symbol starting means 21 includes a normal pattern with a short opening time (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time) and a special pattern with a long opening time (for example, 2 seconds × 3 times). A normal pattern is selected during the state, and a special pattern is selected during the high probability state.

開閉入賞手段２２は変動後の第１特別図柄、第２特別図柄が大当たり態様で停止した場合に発生する大当たり状態中に所定の開放パターンで開閉するもので、この開閉入賞手段２２に遊技球が入賞したときには、他の普通入賞手段２３等への入賞よりも多くの賞球が払い出されるようになっている。この開閉入賞手段２２は上向きに開口する大入賞口２２ａと、前後方向に出退して大入賞口２２ａを開閉する開閉板２２ｂとを有する。 The open / close winning means 22 opens and closes in a predetermined opening pattern during the big hit state that occurs when the first special symbol and the second special symbol after the change stop in a big win mode. When winning, more prize balls are paid out than winning in other ordinary winning means 23 or the like. The open / close winning means 22 has a large winning opening 22a that opens upward and an open / close plate 22b that opens and closes in the front-rear direction to open and close the large winning opening 22a.

ゲームに際しては、発射手段の発射ハンドル８を操作して遊技領域１５へと遊技球を発射させる。このとき通常確率状態であれば、遊技者は第１特別図柄始動手段２０に入賞し易い左打ち通路２８に遊技球が集中するように左打ちをする。左打ち通路２８を落下する遊技球が中央役物１８の球誘導口３６に入ると、その遊技球は球案内通路３７を経てステージ３４へと案内されて、このステージ３４で第１転動部４２から第２転動部４３、第３転動部４４を経て第１落下部３８、第２落下部３９の何れかに振り分けられた後、その第１落下部３８、第２落下部３９の何れかから遊技盤１２の前側へと落下する。 In the game, the launching handle 8 of the launching means is operated to launch a game ball into the game area 15. At this time, if it is a normal probability state, the player hits the left so that the game balls concentrate on the left-handed passage 28 that is easy to win the first special symbol starting means 20. When a game ball falling in the left-handed passage 28 enters the ball guide port 36 of the central actor 18, the game ball is guided to the stage 34 through the ball guide passage 37, and the first rolling unit is moved to the stage 34. 42, after passing through the second rolling part 43 and the third rolling part 44 to the first dropping part 38 or the second dropping part 39, the first dropping part 38 and the second dropping part 39 It falls to the front side of the game board 12 from either.

第３転動部４４を経て遊技球が遊技盤１２の前側へと落下する場合、その遊技球が第１落下部３８から落下すれば第１特別図柄始動手段２０に入賞し易くなり、また第２落下部３９から落下すれば第１特別図柄始動手段２０に入賞し難くなる。 When the game ball falls to the front side of the game board 12 through the third rolling part 44, if the game ball falls from the first drop part 38, it becomes easy to win the first special symbol starting means 20, and If it falls from the 2 drop part 39, it will become difficult to win the 1st special symbol starting means 20.

ステージ３４で振り分けられた後の遊技球が第１落下部３８から落下し、その遊技球が第１特別図柄始動手段２０に入賞すると、第１特別図柄表示手段２５の第１特別図柄、演出図柄表示手段４０の演出図柄４０ａ〜４０ｃが同期して所定時間変動する。そして、第１特別図柄始動手段２０に遊技球が入賞したときの抽選結果が大当たりか否かに応じて、第１特別図柄表示手段２５の変動後の第１特別図柄が大当たり態様又は外れ態様で停止し、演出図柄表示手段４０の演出図柄４０ａ〜４０ｃが大当たり演出態様又は外れ演出態様で停止する。 When the game balls distributed at the stage 34 fall from the first drop unit 38 and the game balls win the first special symbol starting means 20, the first special symbols and the production symbols of the first special symbol display means 25 are displayed. The production symbols 40a to 40c of the display means 40 fluctuate for a predetermined time in synchronization. Then, depending on whether or not the lottery result when the game ball wins the first special symbol starting means 20 is a big win, the first special symbol after the change of the first special symbol display means 25 is a big hit mode or an off mode. The effect symbols 40a to 40c of the effect symbol display means 40 are stopped in the jackpot effect mode or the off effect mode.

通常確率状態中でも右打ち通路２９に進入した遊技球が普通図柄始動手段１９に入賞すれば、普通図柄表示手段２４の普通図柄が変動して変動後に当たり態様で停止することもある。しかし、通常確率状態中は第２特別図柄始動手段２１の開放時間が僅かであるため、第２特別図柄始動手段２１に遊技球が入賞する可能性は非常に低い。 If the game ball that has entered the right-handed path 29 wins the normal symbol starting means 19 even in the normal probability state, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display means 24 may fluctuate and stop in a winning manner after the fluctuation. However, since the opening time of the second special symbol starting means 21 is short during the normal probability state, the possibility that the game ball wins the second special symbol starting means 21 is very low.

第１特別図柄表示手段２５の変動後の第１特別図柄が大当たり態様で停止すれば大当たり状態となり、開閉入賞手段２２が抽選された所定の開閉パターンで所定ラウンド数開閉動作を繰り返すので、遊技者は開閉入賞手段２２に遊技球が入賞し易い右打ち通路２９側に遊技球を集中させるべく右打ちをする。右打ち通路２９に入った遊技球は普通図柄始動手段１９、開閉入賞手段２２、特別図柄始動手段２０，２１等に入賞するか、アウト球口３５側へと流下する。なお、大当たりの場合には、所定の開閉パターンで大入賞口２２ａが開放して、その開放時に多数の遊技球が入賞するため、遊技者は有利にゲームを行うことができる。 If the first special symbol after the change of the first special symbol display means 25 stops in a big win mode, it becomes a big hit state, and the open / close winning means 22 repeats a predetermined round number opening / closing operation with a predetermined opening / closing pattern, so that the player The player hits the open / close winning means 22 to make the game ball concentrate on the side of the right-handed passage 29 where the game ball is easy to win. The game ball that has entered the right-handed passage 29 wins the normal symbol starting means 19, the open / close winning means 22, the special symbol starting means 20, 21 or the like, or flows down to the out ball opening 35 side. In the case of a big win, the big winning opening 22a is opened with a predetermined opening / closing pattern, and a large number of game balls are won at the time of opening, so that the player can play a game advantageously.

普通図柄始動手段１９が遊技球を検出すると、普通図柄表示手段２４の普通図柄が所定時間変動して当たり図柄又は外れ図柄で停止し、当たり図柄のときには第２特別図柄始動手段２１が所定時間開放し、この第２特別図柄始動手段２１に遊技球が入賞し易くなる。そして、第２特別図柄始動手段２１に遊技球が入賞すると、第２特別図柄表示手段２６の第２特別図柄が所定時間変動し、第１特別図柄表示手段２５の第１特別図柄の場合と同様に動作する。 When the normal symbol starting means 19 detects a game ball, the normal symbol on the normal symbol displaying means 24 fluctuates for a predetermined time and stops at the winning symbol or the off symbol, and when the winning symbol is reached, the second special symbol starting means 21 is released for a predetermined time. And it becomes easy to win a game ball to this 2nd special symbol starting means 21. When a game ball wins the second special symbol starting means 21, the second special symbol of the second special symbol display means 26 fluctuates for a predetermined time and is the same as the case of the first special symbol of the first special symbol display means 25. To work.

ステージ３４では前後方向に階段状に配置された第１転動部４２〜第３転動部４４の内、その第２転動部４３に回転体４６があり、この回転体４６が駆動手段５２の駆動により横軸心廻りにａ矢示方向に回転するようにしているので、この回転体４６によって遊技球の振り分け時の間持ちが良くなり、ゲームでの遊技球の振り分けに関する遊技者の興趣を向上させることができる。 In the stage 34, the first rolling part 42 to the third rolling part 44 arranged stepwise in the front-rear direction have a rotating body 46 in the second rolling part 43, and the rotating body 46 is a driving means 52. Since it is rotated in the direction of arrow a around the horizontal axis by driving, the rotating body 46 improves the holding time when the game balls are distributed, and improves the interest of the player regarding the distribution of the game balls in the game Can be made.

即ち、球誘導口３６から球案内通路３７を経てステージ３４に誘導された遊技球は、第１転動部４２上を左右方向に転動し、そのときの慣性力に応じて奥落下部４２ｂ，４２ｄの何れかに振り分けられて第２転動部４３へと落下する。左右の奥落下部４２ｄから落下する遊技球は、第２転動部４３、第３転動部４４を経て第２落下部３９から遊技盤１２の前側へと落下し、その遊技球が第１特別図柄始動手段２０に入賞する可能性は低い。 That is, the game ball guided to the stage 34 from the ball guide port 36 through the ball guide passage 37 rolls on the first rolling part 42 in the left-right direction, and the back drop part 42b according to the inertial force at that time. , 42d and falls to the second rolling part 43. The game balls falling from the left and right back drop portions 42d fall from the second drop portion 39 to the front side of the game board 12 via the second rolling portion 43 and the third rolling portion 44, and the gaming balls are the first ones. The possibility of winning the special symbol starting means 20 is low.

中央の奥落下部４２ｂからの遊技球は、その前下側でａ矢示方向に回転する回転体４６の第１衝突部５６、第２衝突部５７の何れかに衝突する。そして、遊技球が第１衝突部５６上に落下したときには、その遊技球が第１落下部３８に振り分けられる可能性が大となり、また第２衝突部５７上に落下したときには、その遊技球が第２落下部３９に振り分けられる可能性が大となる。 The game ball from the central back drop part 42b collides with either the first collision part 56 or the second collision part 57 of the rotating body 46 rotating in the direction indicated by the arrow a on the front lower side. And when a game ball falls on the 1st collision part 56, possibility that the game ball will be distributed to the 1st fall part 38 becomes large, and when it falls on the 2nd collision part 57, the game ball will be The possibility of being distributed to the second drop part 39 becomes large.

例えば、図１０（Ａ）（Ｂ）に示すように第１衝突部５６が回転体４６の上側を通過する場合に、その頂部近傍から後側を含む範囲で左右の突条５６ｂ間に遊技球が落下すれば、その遊技球は回転体４６の回転力等を受けて第１衝突部５６の両側の突条５６ｂにより後側へとａ矢示方向に案内されて、回転体４６の後側に開口する球入口４８に入り連通路４７を経て下落下部３８ｂへとｃ矢示方向に案内された後、その下落下部３８ｂから下方へとｃ矢示方向に落下する。 For example, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, when the first collision portion 56 passes the upper side of the rotating body 46, a game ball between the left and right protrusions 56b in a range including the rear side from the vicinity of the top portion. If the ball falls, the game ball receives the rotational force of the rotating body 46 and is guided to the rear side by the protrusions 56b on both sides of the first collision portion 56 in the direction indicated by the arrow a. The ball enters the sphere inlet 48 that opens to the lower drop portion 38b through the communication passage 47 and is guided in the direction indicated by the arrow c, and then falls downward from the lower drop portion 38b in the direction indicated by the arrow c.

また第１衝突部５６の頂部よりも前側で左右の突条５６ｂ間に遊技球が落下すれば、その遊技球は回転体４６の回転とは逆に第１衝突部５６の凹部５６ａの両側の突条５６ｂにより前側へと反ａ矢示方向に案内されて、第３転動部４４上の上落下部３８ａへとｄ矢示方向に案内された後、その上落下部３８ａから下方へとｅ矢示方向に落下する。 If a game ball falls between the left and right protrusions 56b on the front side of the top of the first collision part 56, the game ball is opposite to the rotation of the rotating body 46 on both sides of the concave part 56a of the first collision part 56. After being guided in the direction indicated by the arrow a toward the front side by the protrusion 56b and guided in the direction indicated by the arrow d to the upper drop part 38a on the third rolling part 44, the upper drop part 38a is moved downward. e Drop in the direction of the arrow.

奥落下部４２ｂから遊技球が落下する際に左右方向の一方側に振れた場合には、その遊技球が第１衝突部５６の突条５６ｂよりも外側に落下することがある。そのときには遊技球は回転体４６の急テーパー部５８ａに沿って左右方向の外側へとｆ矢示方向に案内され、緩テーパー部５８ｂから第２転動部４３の中落下部４３ｃ、第３転動部４４の第２落下部３９へと案内されて行く。 When the game ball falls from the back drop part 42 b and swings to one side in the left-right direction, the game ball may fall outside the protrusion 56 b of the first collision part 56. At that time, the game ball is guided in the direction indicated by the arrow f along the steeply tapered portion 58a of the rotating body 46 in the left-right direction, and from the gently tapered portion 58b to the middle drop portion 43c and the third rolling portion 43 of the second rolling portion 43. It is guided to the second drop part 39 of the moving part 44.

図１１（Ａ）（Ｂ）に示すように第２衝突部５７が回転体４６の上側を通過する場合に、第２衝突部５７の左右方向の略中央に突条５７ａがあるので、奥落下部４２ｂから落下した遊技球は、回転体４６の回転に関係なく突条５７ａにより左右の何れかに振り分けられる。例えば回転体４６の急テーパー部５９ａ側に振り分けられた遊技球は、急テーパー部５９ａに沿ってｇ矢示方向に移動し、緩テーパー部５９ｂ、第２転動部４３の中落下部４３ｃを経て第３転動部４４の第２落下部３９へと案内されて行く。また突条５７ａの両側の急テーパー部５９ａ上に直接落下した遊技球も、同様に緩テーパー部５９ｂ、第２転動部４３の中落下部４３ｃを経て第３転動部４４の第２落下部３９へと案内されて行く。 As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, when the second collision part 57 passes the upper side of the rotating body 46, there is a protrusion 57a at the approximate center in the left-right direction of the second collision part 57. The game balls dropped from the portion 42b are distributed to either the left or right by the ridge 57a regardless of the rotation of the rotating body 46. For example, the game balls distributed to the steep taper portion 59a side of the rotating body 46 move in the direction indicated by the arrow g along the steep taper portion 59a, and move the gentle taper portion 59b and the middle drop portion 43c of the second rolling portion 43. Then, it is guided to the second drop part 39 of the third rolling part 44. Similarly, a game ball that has directly dropped onto the steep taper portions 59a on both sides of the ridge 57a is similarly subjected to the second fall of the third rolling portion 44 via the gently tapered portion 59b and the middle falling portion 43c of the second rolling portion 43. Guided to part 39.

なお、第２衝突部５７の突条５７ａの最大径部分に遊技球が落下した場合には、その遊技球は前後の球入口４８、第１落下部３８の何れかへと案内されることがある。しかし、第２衝突部５７の突条５７ａの左右幅は第１衝突部５６の左右幅に比較して小であるため、第２衝突部５７に衝突した遊技球が球入口４８、第１落下部３８の何れかに案内されることは少ないか、又は極稀である。 When a game ball falls on the maximum diameter portion of the protrusion 57a of the second collision portion 57, the game ball may be guided to either the front or rear ball inlet 48 or the first drop portion 38. is there. However, since the left and right widths of the protrusions 57a of the second collision part 57 are smaller than the left and right widths of the first collision part 56, the game ball that has collided with the second collision part 57 is moved to the ball entrance 48 and the first drop. It is rarely or rarely guided to any of the sections 38.

図１２、図１３は本発明の第２の実施形態を例示する。回転体４６は、第１衝突部５６、第２衝突部５７の周方向の全周に左右一対の突条５６ｂ、急テーパー部５８ａ、緩テーパー部５８ｂを備え、その第１衝突部５６は左右の突条５６ｂ間を凹部５６ａとし、第２衝突部５７の両突条５６ｂ間には、これらよりも径方向の外方に突出する突条５７ａが設けられている。他の構成は第１の実施形態と同様である。 12 and 13 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention. The rotating body 46 includes a pair of left and right protrusions 56b, a steep taper portion 58a, and a gentle taper portion 58b on the entire circumference in the circumferential direction of the first collision portion 56 and the second collision portion 57. A recess 56a is formed between the protrusions 56b, and a protrusion 57a protruding outward in the radial direction is provided between the protrusions 56b of the second collision part 57. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

このようにすれば、第１衝突部５６は第１の実施形態と同様に遊技球を振り分けることができ、また第２衝突部５７では突条５７ａに衝突した遊技球が左右何れかに移動すると、その遊技球を突条５６ｂ、急テーパー部５８ａを経て左右の落下部３９へと案内することができる。この場合には、第１衝突部５６側及び第２衝突部５７側の突条５６ｂ、急テーパー部５８ａを同じ形状にできるので、金型の構造を簡単にできる。 If it does in this way, the 1st collision part 56 can distribute a game ball similarly to 1st Embodiment, and if the game ball which collided with the protrusion 57a moves to the left or right in the 2nd collision part 57, it will be. The game ball can be guided to the left and right drop portions 39 through the protrusion 56b and the steep taper portion 58a. In this case, since the protrusion 56b and the steep taper part 58a on the first collision part 56 side and the second collision part 57 side can be formed in the same shape, the structure of the mold can be simplified.

図１４、図１５は本発明の第３の実施形態を例示する。回転体４６の左右方向の長さは左右の突条５６ｂの両側までの長さであり、この回転体４６の左右両側の第２転動部４３には、回転体４６側から落下部４３ｃに向かって傾斜する傾斜面４３ｅが設けられている。 14 and 15 illustrate a third embodiment of the present invention. The length of the rotator 46 in the left-right direction is the length to both sides of the left and right ridges 56b, and the second rolling parts 43 on the left and right sides of the rotator 46 are connected to the drop part 43c from the rotator 46 side. An inclined surface 43e that is inclined toward the surface is provided.

このように第２転動部４３側に傾斜面４３ｅを設けることにより、回転体４６の左右のテーパー部５８ａ，５８ｂ，５９ａ，５９ｂを省略することも可能であり、回転体４６の小型化を図ることができる。 Thus, by providing the inclined surface 43e on the second rolling portion 43 side, the left and right tapered portions 58a, 58b, 59a, 59b of the rotating body 46 can be omitted, and the size of the rotating body 46 can be reduced. Can be planned.

図１６、図１７は本発明の第４の実施形態を例示する。このステージ３４の転動部６５には、球案内通路３７に連通する傾斜通路６６と、この傾斜通路６６の下流側に対応してその前側に配置された回転体４６と、この回転体４６の前側に配置された第１落下部３８と、回転体４６の前側で第１落下部３８の左右両側に配置された第２落下部３９とを有する。 16 and 17 illustrate a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The rolling portion 65 of the stage 34 includes an inclined passage 66 communicating with the ball guide passage 37, a rotating body 46 disposed on the front side corresponding to the downstream side of the inclined passage 66, and the rotating body 46. It has the 1st fall part 38 arrange | positioned at the front side, and the 2nd fall part 39 arrange | positioned in the right and left both sides of the 1st drop part 38 in the front side of the rotary body 46.

回転体４６は第１衝突部５６と第２衝突部５７とを外周の周方向に備え、球案内通路３７側からの遊技球が第１衝突部５６に衝突した場合に、その遊技球が第１衝突部５６を乗り越える程度に転動部６５上に突出して配置されている。遊技球が第１衝突部５６に衝突した場合に、その遊技球は第１衝突部５６を乗り越えて第１落下部３８へと振り分けられ、また遊技球が第２衝突部５７に衝突した場合には、その遊技球は第２衝突部５７により左右何れかの第２落下部３９へと振り分けられる。 The rotating body 46 includes a first collision portion 56 and a second collision portion 57 in the circumferential direction of the outer periphery. When a game ball from the ball guide passage 37 collides with the first collision portion 56, the game ball is It is arranged so as to protrude on the rolling part 65 so as to get over the one collision part 56. When a game ball collides with the first collision unit 56, the game ball gets over the first collision unit 56 and is distributed to the first dropping unit 38, and when the game ball collides with the second collision unit 57 The game ball is distributed by the second collision unit 57 to the left or right second drop unit 39.

このように回転体４６は傾斜通路６６上を転がる遊技球が衝突部５６，５７に衝突するように構成して、その衝突部５６，５７により各落下部３８，３９へと遊技球を振り分けるようにしてもよい。従って、回転体４６の衝突部５６，５７に衝突する遊技球は、第３落下部４２ｂから落下する遊技球に限定されるものではない。またこの実施形態の場合にも各実施形態と同様に回転体４６は横軸廻りに回転するが、各実施形態で云う横軸は縦軸に対比される概念であって、左右方向の軸廻りに回転する場合は勿論のこと、前後方向の軸廻りに回転する場合も含むものである。 Thus, the rotating body 46 is configured such that the game ball rolling on the inclined passage 66 collides with the collision portions 56 and 57, and the collision balls 56 and 57 distribute the game ball to the dropping portions 38 and 39, respectively. It may be. Therefore, the game balls that collide with the collision portions 56 and 57 of the rotating body 46 are not limited to the game balls that fall from the third dropping portion 42b. Also in this embodiment, the rotating body 46 rotates around the horizontal axis as in the embodiments. However, the horizontal axis in each embodiment is a concept that is compared with the vertical axis, and is around the axis in the left-right direction. Of course, this includes the case of rotating around the axis in the front-rear direction.

以上、本発明の各実施形態について詳述したが、本発明はこの各実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更が可能である。例えば各実施形態では、第１転動部４２〜第３転動部４４を備えたステージ３４を例示しているが、球案内通路３７からの遊技球を回転体４６へと落下させる第３落下部４２ｂは、第１転動部４２以外の部分に設けて、前後２個の転動部４３，４４としてもよい。 As mentioned above, although each embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to this each embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, in each embodiment, although the stage 34 provided with the 1st rolling part 42-the 3rd rolling part 44 is illustrated, the 3rd fall which drops the game ball from the ball guide path 37 to the rotary body 46 is shown. The part 42b may be provided in a part other than the first rolling part 42 and may be two rolling parts 43 and 44 in the front and rear.

また第１落下部３８の下方の入球手段として第１特別図柄始動手段２０を例示し、第１落下部３８から落下する遊技球は第１特別図柄始動手段２０に入賞し易くし、第２落下部３９から落下する遊技球は第１特別図柄始動手段２０に入賞し難くしているが、ステージ３４の下方に第１特別図柄始動手段２０以外の図柄始動手段、入賞手段等を配置してもよいし、入賞手段以外のもの、例えば遊技球が入って通過するものでもよい。従って、ステージ３４の下方には少なくとも入球手段があれば十分である。 Further, the first special symbol starting means 20 is illustrated as a ball entering means below the first dropping portion 38, and the game balls falling from the first dropping portion 38 are easy to win the first special symbol starting means 20, and the second The game ball falling from the dropping portion 39 is difficult to win the first special symbol starting means 20, but a symbol starting means other than the first special symbol starting means 20, a winning means, etc. are arranged below the stage 34. Alternatively, other than winning means, for example, a game ball may enter and pass. Accordingly, it is sufficient that there is at least a ball entry means below the stage 34.

第１衝突部５６は遊技球を第１落下部３８へと案内するためのものとし、第２衝突部５７は遊技球を第２落下部３９へと案内するためのものとしてもよい。また回転体４６は奥落下部４２ｂからの遊技球を前後、左右の何れかに振り分けるように構成し、前後方向に振り分けられた遊技球を第１落下部３８に、左右方向に振り分けられた遊技球を第２落下部３９に夫々案内するようにしてもよい。従って、その場合には、回転体４６は必ずしも転動部４３に配置する必要はない。 The first collision unit 56 may be used for guiding the game ball to the first dropping unit 38, and the second collision unit 57 may be used for guiding the game ball to the second dropping unit 39. Further, the rotator 46 is configured to distribute the game balls from the back drop part 42b to either the front or back, the left or right, and the game balls distributed in the front or back direction are distributed to the first drop part 38 in the left or right direction. The balls may be guided to the second drop part 39, respectively. Therefore, in that case, the rotating body 46 is not necessarily arranged in the rolling part 43.

また第１衝突部５６は遊技球を前後方向に振り分け易い構造であり、第２衝突部５７は遊技球を左右に振り分け易い構造であれば良く、実施形態に例示の構造に限定されるものではない。例えば、第１衝突部５６の左右の突条５６ｂ、第２衝突部５７の突条５７ａに代えて周方向に所定間隔を置いて複数個の突部を設けてもよい。 In addition, the first collision unit 56 has a structure in which game balls can be easily distributed in the front-rear direction, and the second collision unit 57 has only to have a structure in which game balls can be distributed right and left, and is not limited to the structure exemplified in the embodiment. Absent. For example, a plurality of protrusions may be provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction instead of the left and right protrusions 56b of the first collision part 56 and the protrusions 57a of the second collision part 57.

回転体４６の外周の第１衝突部５６、第２衝突部５７は回転方向に略半分ずつ設けているが、回転方向に２以上を交互に設けてもよいし、３種類以上の衝突部を設けてもよい。回転体４６は実施形態では前上がりに回転するようにしているが、後上がりに回転するようにしてもよい。また第１落下部３８には上落下部３８ａと下落下部３８ｂとがあるが、何れか一方のみでもよい。 The first collision part 56 and the second collision part 57 on the outer periphery of the rotating body 46 are provided approximately in half in the rotation direction, but two or more may be provided alternately in the rotation direction, or three or more types of collision parts may be provided. It may be provided. In the embodiment, the rotating body 46 is rotated forward, but may be rotated backward. The first dropping part 38 includes an upper dropping part 38a and a lower dropping part 38b, but only one of them may be provided.

回転体４６はパチンコ機の稼働中、常時回転するようにしてもよいし、遊技者が発射ハンドル８を保持する等、遊技状態にあるときに回転するようにしてもよい。球誘導口３６の遊技球の通過を検出する検出手段を設け、この検出手段が遊技球を検出したときに回転体４６が回転するようにしてもよい。また回転と停止とを繰り返し、また早い速度での回転と遅い速度での回転とを繰り返す等、回転体４６の回転状況を間欠的に制御するようにしてもよい。 The rotating body 46 may be rotated at all times during operation of the pachinko machine, or may be rotated when the player is in a gaming state, such as holding the firing handle 8. Detection means for detecting passage of the game ball through the ball guide port 36 may be provided, and the rotating body 46 may be rotated when the detection means detects the game ball. Further, the rotation state of the rotating body 46 may be intermittently controlled by repeating rotation and stop, repeating rotation at a high speed and rotation at a low speed, or the like.

その他、球案内通路３７に球誘導口３６に代えて、開閉羽根等の開閉部材により開閉される入賞口を設け、ステージ３４の下方に特定領域用の入球手段を設けておき、入賞口から入賞した遊技球を球案内通路３７を経て回転体４６へと案内し、その回転体４６の回転によって衝突部５６，５７により第１落下部３８、第２落下部３９の何れかに振り分けて、第１落下部３８から落下する遊技球が特定領域用の入球手段に入球したときに、遊技者に有利な利益状態が発生するようにしてもよい。 In addition, in place of the ball guide opening 36 in the ball guide passage 37, a winning opening that is opened and closed by an opening / closing member such as an opening / closing blade is provided, and a ball entry means for a specific area is provided below the stage 34. The winning game balls are guided to the rotating body 46 through the ball guide passage 37, and are distributed to either the first dropping part 38 or the second dropping part 39 by the collision parts 56, 57 by the rotation of the rotating body 46, A profit state advantageous to the player may occur when a game ball falling from the first drop unit 38 enters a specific area entrance means.

回転体４６は回転方向に二分割された一対の分割体５４，５５を着脱自在に結合し、その一方の分割体５４に第１衝突部５６を、他方の分割体５５に第２衝突部５７を夫々設けているが、三分割以上の分割体により構成してもよいし、その第１衝突部５６、第２衝突部５７は複数の分割体５４，５５に跨がって設けてもよい。また回転体４６は回転方向の全周が一体でもよいし、複数個の分割体５４，５５により構成する場合にも、左右方向に分割してもよい。 The rotating body 46 detachably couples a pair of divided bodies 54 and 55 that are divided into two in the rotational direction. The first collision portion 56 is connected to one of the divided bodies 54, and the second collision portion 57 is connected to the other divided body 55. However, each of the first collision part 56 and the second collision part 57 may be provided across a plurality of division bodies 54 and 55. . The rotating body 46 may be integrated with the entire circumference in the rotational direction, or may be divided in the left-right direction when it is constituted by a plurality of divided bodies 54 and 55.

また右打ち、左打ちタイプ以外のパチンコ機でも同様に実施できる。更に本発明はパチンコ機の他、アレンジボール機、その他の各種の弾球遊技機においても同様に実施可能であることは云うまでもない。 It can also be implemented in the same manner with pachinko machines other than right-handed and left-handed types. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the present invention can be similarly applied to an arrangement ball machine and other various ball game machines in addition to pachinko machines.
