The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, referring to the drawings described below, for convenience, the size and reduction ratio of each element may be different from the actual product. In addition, the mode described below is a preferred specific example of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited by the following mode.

<Game Device>

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a game device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The game device 1 is a machine used by players for amusement, and is installed in amusement facilities such as game centers and casinos, or in commercial facilities such as shopping centers. In addition, when the game device 1 is used in a casino, it is sometimes referred to as a game machine. In addition, the game device 1 is not necessarily a business machine that must be installed in a store, and can be used as a machine for household or personal use, for example.

As illustrated in Fig. 1, the game device 1 in this embodiment includes an operation panel 10 and a game field F. The operation panel 10 is an input device that accepts player operations. The game field F is a space provided by a coin pushing game mechanism for players.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the operation panel 10 in this embodiment includes an operation unit 11L, an operation unit 11R, a reading unit 13, and a payment unit 14. The structure of each operating part 11L and operating part 11R includes an operating element 112, an operating element 113 and an input port 114. The operating element 112 and the operating element 113 are operating buttons pressed by the player. The betting entrance 114 is an opening through which the player can deposit tokens (gold coins). Here, the token can be an amusement medium lent by the store to the player, or it can be a coin.

The reading unit 13 reads and writes various information in a non-contact manner for the card storing the credit value information owned by the player. Credit value is an imaginary play value that can be used in games. For example, the credit value can be not only the value limited to be used in the game, but also can be exchanged for the value of amusement in reality (for example, money). Specifically, if the gaming device 1 is used as a gaming machine in a casino, actual play value (for example, money such as banknotes or coins) and credit value can be exchanged. Also, in some cases, it can be converted into tokens or tickets proportional to the number of credits. In addition, the credit information does not necessarily have to be stored in the card itself. For example, the credit value information can also be stored in a server device that can communicate with the game device 1 via the network. Specifically, the credit information is stored corresponding to the identification information (such as the card ID) paid to the player or the card. The game device 1 obtains the credit value information corresponding to the identification information read from the card by the reader 13 from the server device.

The payment unit 14 is an operating element used by the player to instruct payment of tokens. When the player operates the payment unit 14, a certain number of tokens can be discharged in the payment port (not shown in the figure). In addition, starting with the operation of the payment unit 14, the number of credits stored in the card can also be added corresponding to the number of tokens. Also, through the network, the game device 1 can also add the number of credits stored in a server device that can connect to the network.

Fig. 2 is a plan view from above of the game field F, and Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view along the line III-III in Fig. 2. In addition, in the drawings following FIG. 2, the illustration of the operation panel 10 is omitted for convenience. As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the following description, the left-right direction of the game field F is written as the X direction, and the front-rear direction is written as the Y direction. The positive side in the X direction is the right side viewed by the player, and the negative side in the X direction is the left side viewed by the player. In addition, the positive side in the Y direction is the front (near the front when viewed from the player), and the negative side in the Y direction is the rear (the front and far away from the player when viewed). The X-Y plane is equivalent to the horizontal plane.

As illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the playground F, a frame part 20, a table 30, a pushing part 40, a throwing part 50L, and a throwing part 50R are provided. The frame part 20 is a structure for supporting each element of the game device 1, and its structure includes a side wall part 21L, a side wall part 21R, a front wall part 23, and a rear wall part 24. The side wall portion 21L and the side wall portion 21R are provided on the left and right sides of the playground F facing each other. The table 30 and the pushing part 40 are provided between the side wall part 21L and the side wall part 21R. The front wall portion 23 is a member extending in the X direction at a position spaced apart from the front edge E2 in the peripheral edge on the positive side of the table 30 in the Y direction. In other words, between the front edge E2 of the table 30 and the front wall portion 23, an elongated opening Q (hereinafter referred to as a "drop opening") along the X direction is formed. The rear wall portion 24 is an elongated member facing the upper surface (hereinafter referred to as the "first surface") S1 of the pushing portion 40 in the X direction.

The table 30 is a flat plate-shaped member that is set to be slightly horizontal. The table 30 is made of a translucent resin material such as acrylic resin. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the upper surface of the table 30 is divided into a reciprocating surface S0 and a second surface S2. The reciprocating surface S0 is a plane slightly parallel to the horizontal plane (X-Y plane). The second surface S2 is a region located on the positive side in the Y direction when viewed from the reciprocating surface S0.

The pushing part 40 is a three-dimensional structure (coin pushing table) that moves back and forth on the surface of the table 30. The pushing part 40 can also be said to be a moving table or a moving part that moves back and forth. Specifically, the propulsion unit 40 is exemplified in FIG. 3, It repeatedly moves back and forth along the Y direction on the surface of the reciprocating surface S0. The direction in which the propelling unit 40 moves back and forth may be defined as the Y direction, and the direction perpendicular to the Y direction in the horizontal plane may be defined as the X direction.

The throwing part 50L and the throwing part 50R are a mechanism that faces the first surface S1 of the propulsion part 40 and can throw the amusement item B into it. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the throwing part 50L throws the amusement item B on the left side from the center of the propelling part 40 toward the positive side in the X direction and throws it into the first surface S1. The throwing part 50R throws the amusement item B on the right side from the center of the propelling part 40 toward the negative side of the X direction, and throws it into the 1st surface S1. As shown in FIG. 1, the amusement item B of this embodiment is a sphere (ball). Therefore, for example, on the surface of the first surface S1 of the propulsion unit 40 or the second surface S2 of the table 30, the amusement item B can be rolled. The amusement equipment B is made of a light-transmitting material such as acrylic resin or glass.

The input direction and time point of the amusement item B dropped from each input part 50L and input part 50R are variable. The player can change the input direction of the amusement item B by operating the operating element 112 of the operating part 11L of the operating panel 10 in FIG. 1 and using the throwing part 50L. Specifically, the input direction of the input portion 50L will repeatedly change within a set range when the operating element 112 is pressed, and when the pressing of the operating element 112 is released, the direction is determined. The same applies to the throwing part 50R. The player can change the throwing direction through the throwing part 50R by operating the operating element 112 of the operating part 11R on the operation panel 10. Also, if the operating element 113 of the operating part 11L on the operating panel 10 is operated, the amusement item B will be thrown in from the input part 50L, and if the operating element 113 of the operating part 11R is operated, it will be thrown in from the input part. 50R put into amusement prop B. In addition, only one of the input portion 50L and the input portion 50R may be provided.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which amusement items B are arranged in the game field F of Fig. 1. As shown in Figure 4, in an actual amusement park, on the first side S1 and the second side S2, most of the amusement props B are filled with full. A large number of amusement items B are thrown in from the throw-in part 50L and the throw-in part 50R toward the first surface S1, and when the pushing part 40 moves backward (the negative side in the Y direction), it is pushed by the rear wall part 24. Most amusement props B are pushed by the rear wall 24 and move in order. On the positive side periphery of the Y-direction on the propelling part 40, that is, near the front edge E1, too many amusement props B will move from The first surface S1 falls on the second surface S2 of the table 30. On the second surface S2, a large number of amusement items B will move in order by the pushing of the forward moving part 40, and near the front edge E2 of the table 30, too many amusement items B will move from the first The 2 sides S2 fall into the drop port Q.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the falling mouth Q, a detector 60 for detecting the amusement item B is provided. Corresponding to the number of amusement items B detected by the detector 60, the player is paid a corresponding reward. For example, the value corresponding to the number of the amusement item B is regarded as a reward and added to the player's credit value. In addition, for the number of amusement items B dropped by the drop port Q, a corresponding number of tokens may be discharged from the payment port (not shown) as a reward.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, a light emitting part 61 is provided under the table 30. The light emitting unit 61 is a light source for illuminating the table 30, and is composed of a light emitting element including, for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode). As mentioned above, since the amusement item B and the table 30 are light-transmissive, the light emitted from the light-emitting part 61 will pass through the table 30. When the amusement item B passes through, it will be moderately scattered and viewed by the player. do not. In addition, a light emitting unit 62 is provided above the propelling unit 40. The light emitting part 62 is a light source for illuminating the first surface S1 of the propelling part 40, and is composed of a light emitting element including, for example, an LED. The light emitted from the light emitting part 62 will be appropriately scattered and recognized by the player when the amusement item B passes through. As understood from the above description, a similar design effect can be achieved in which most amusement props B on the first surface S1 and the second surface S2 are used for lighting. In addition, if the light emitting part 62 is provided inside the propelling part 40, since the light emitting part 62 will move with the propelling part 40, a mechanism is required to make the propelling part 40 emit light anywhere within the range of moving back and forth. Section 62 supplies power. On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the light emitting unit 62 is fixed to the outside of the pushing unit 40, regardless of the position of the pushing unit 40, there is an advantage that the light emitting unit 62 can be supplied with electricity stably with a simple structure.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a guide 33 is provided on the second surface S2 of the table 30. The guide portion 33 allows the amusement item B to move forward, and has a function of enhancing the tendency of the amusement item B to face the periphery other than the front edge E2 on the second surface S2 compared with the case where the guide portion 33 is not provided. The guide portion 33 has two convex portions 33L and 33R protruding upward from the second surface S2. The convex portions 33L and 33R are made of a translucent resin material such as acrylic resin. Therefore, since the light emitted by the aforementioned light emitting part 61 passes through the guide part 33, the effect of the aforementioned similar design can be maintained. In addition, the structural material of the convex portions 33L and 33R is not limited to a light-transmitting resin material, and depending on the design effect, it does not matter if there is no light-transmitting property, for example, even if it is a metal material. In addition, the convex parts 33L and 33R may be integrated with the table 30 or may be separate bodies. If it is a separate body, the protrusions 33L and 33R can be fixed to the table 30 with an adhesive, an adhesive, or a screw.

FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a configuration in which the guide portion 33 has convex portions 33L and 33R. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the convex portion 33L is provided in a region on the negative side of the X direction based on the center of the second surface S2. On the other hand, the convex portion 33R is provided in a region on the positive side in the X direction based on the center of the second surface S2. In the example of FIG. 5, the convex portions 33L and 33R are symmetrically arranged in the X direction. The convex portions 33L and 33R are members of an elongated shape extending linearly in a direction inclined at an angle θ1 with respect to the Y direction. Here, the convex portions 33L and 33R are provided so that the distance between them increases as they go from the negative side to the positive side in the Y direction. Therefore, the amusement item B from the rear can be guided along the wall surface 331 on the rear side of the convex portion 33L toward the negative side peripheral edge in the X direction on the second surface S2, that is, the side edge EL. Similarly, the amusement item B from the rear may be guided along the rear wall surface 331 of the convex portion 33R toward the positive side peripheral edge in the X direction on the second surface S2, that is, the side edge ER. In addition, the convex parts 33L and 33R are configured so that when they move forward with the propelling part 40, the amusement item B can be passed over. Therefore, as shown in the aforementioned FIG. 4, it is possible to maintain a large number of amusement items B on the second surface S2 in a fully packed state. In addition, the convex portions 33L and 33R may be asymmetric in the X direction.

Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VI-VI in Fig. 5. Fig. 6 schematically shows the convex portion 33R. In addition, the convex portion 33L and the convex portion 33R are the same except that they are opposite in structure. As illustrated in FIG. 6, when cut along the plane of both the vertical direction and the Y direction, the guide portion 33 has a rectangular cross section. Therefore, the wall surface 331 perpendicularly intersects the second surface S2. In other words, the angle θ 2 between the wall surface 331 and the second surface S2 is 90°. In addition, the height h1 of the wall surface 331 is set to the extent that the amusement item B can pass over as the propulsion unit 40 moves forward. Here, the second surface S2 becomes lower on the front side (the positive side in the Y direction) and is inclined at an angle θ 0 with respect to the horizontal plane H. Therefore, the many amusement items B on the second surface S2 will move to the front edge E2 on the second surface S2 by gravity. Therefore, the amusement item B located on the rear side with respect to the guide part 33 abuts on the wall surface 331 as the game progresses. The amusement item B abutting on the wall surface 331 moves along the wall surface 331 if the forward pushing force transmitted from the propulsion unit 40 via other amusement items B is less than a predetermined value. On the other hand, when the pushing force is greater than the predetermined value, the amusement item B abutting on the wall surface 331 will move to the front side over the wall surface 331.

The height h1 depends on the size of the angles θ 0, θ 1 and θ 2, for example, for the height of the amusement item B, that is, the diameter D, the range of 1/50 times to 1/5 times is better, 1/30 The range of more than 1/10 times is more preferable, and the range of more than 1/20 times and 1/10 times is still more preferable. By setting the height h1 within this range, there is an advantage in that the balance between the ease of passing the amusement item B over the wall surface 331 and the amount of movement of the amusement item B along the wall surface 331 is optimized. In addition, the height h1 may be constant or variable over the entire area in the extending direction of the wall surface 331. By varying the height h1 at different positions in the extending direction of the wall surface 331, the aforementioned balance can be made different in the Y direction of the second surface S2.

在這個範圍內，即使如本實施形態一般，導引部33由2個凸部33L以及33R而構成的情況下，在第2面S2的X方向以及Y方向上的各方向的寬範圍內，仍可以配置導引部33。還有，對於遊樂道具B輕鬆越過壁面331，和遊樂道具B沿著壁面331的移動量的平衡，具有容易最佳化的優點。對此，如果角度θ 1太小的話，則遊樂道具B就會難以越過壁面331。另一方面，如果角度θ 1太大，則難以增加遊樂道具B沿著壁面331的移動量。 The angle θ 0 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, within a range of 0° or more and 10° or less. The angle θ 1 may be in a range greater than 0° and 90° or less, for example, a range of 20° or more and 80° or less is preferable, and a range of 45° or more and 70° or less is more preferable. By setting the angle θ1

Within this range, even when the guide portion 33 is composed of two convex portions 33L and 33R as in the present embodiment, in a wide range in each direction in the X direction and the Y direction of the second surface S2, The guide 33 can still be configured. In addition, the balance between the amusement item B easily over the wall surface 331 and the amount of movement of the amusement item B along the wall surface 331 has the advantage of being easily optimized. In this regard, if the angle θ 1 is too small, it will be difficult for the amusement item B to cross the wall surface 331. On the other hand, if the angle θ 1 is too large, it is difficult to increase the amount of movement of the amusement item B along the wall surface 331.

The distance dx1 is the shortest distance in the X direction between the wall surfaces 331 of the convex portions 33L and 33R. For example, for the maximum width W0 of the second surface S2 in the X direction, 0 times or more and 1/2 times or less The range is preferable, the range of 0 times to 1/3 times is more preferable, and the range of 0 times to 1/4 times is still more preferable. By setting the distance dx1 within this range, the number of amusement items B moving in the Y direction can be reduced without being affected by the wall surface 331 on the second surface S2. In addition, the wall surfaces 331 of both the convex portions 33L and 33R are separated in the example of FIG. 5, but it does not matter if the two contact them without being separated.

The distance dX3 between the wall surface 331 of the convex portion 33L and the side edge EL, or between the wall surface 331 of the convex portion 33R and the side edge ER, for example, for the maximum width W0 of the second surface S2 in the X direction, 0 The range of more than 1/3 times is more preferable, and the range of more than 1/4 times is more preferable. By setting the distance dx3 in this range Within the enclosure, the number of amusement items B moving in the Y direction can be reduced without being affected by the wall surface 331 on the second surface S2.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, a first restricting portion 31 is provided on the table 30. The first restricting portion 31 is a member protruding from the second surface S2 along the front edge E2 of the table 30. Specifically, the first restricting portion 31 linearly extends in the X direction (in other words, a direction intersecting the Y direction in which the propelling portion 40 moves back and forth) over the entire front edge E2. Here, the first restricting portion 31 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane H so that the positive side in the Y direction becomes higher. Therefore, the first restricting portion 31 prevents many amusement items B from falling freely to the drop opening Q from the front edge E2 on the second surface S2. Therefore, regardless of the structure of the rollable spherical amusement item B used, the amusement item B can be gradually moved and dropped from the table 30.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, in the side wall portion 21L, an elongated opening 26L is formed along the negative side peripheral edge of the X direction on the table 30, that is, the side edge EL. Similarly, in the side wall 21R, an elongated opening 26R is formed along the positive side peripheral edge of the X direction on the table 30, that is, the side edge ER. When the propulsion unit 40 pushes the many amusement items B on the second surface S2, the remaining amusement items B located near the side edge EL will move to the negative side of the X direction, pass through the opening 26L, and move from the table 30 drop (so-called free recovery drop (Out Zone)). Similarly, the remaining amusement equipment B located near the side edge ER moves to the positive side in the X direction, passes through the opening 26R, and falls from the table 30. The amusement item B dropped from the table 30 through the opening 26L or the opening 26R is stored in the game device 1. In other words, if the amusement item B falls into the drop opening Q, the player will be paid. On the other hand, if the amusement item B falls through the opening 26L or the opening 26R, the player will not be paid. . In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the vicinity of the opening 26L and the opening 26R is actually covered by the shielding plate 27, and the player cannot visually recognize it. In addition, the amusement item B may fall along the side edge EL and the side edge ER from the notch formed in the table 30 (free collection and drop). The notch is wider than the playway Opening with B diameter. In the knot structure forming the cutout, the opening 26L and the opening 26R may be omitted.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the side wall 21L is provided with an adjustment mechanism 28L capable of adjusting the opening area of the opening 26L. Similarly, the side wall 21R is provided with an adjustment mechanism 28R that can adjust the opening area of the opening 26R.

FIG. 7 is a front view of an example of the adjustment mechanism 28L that can adjust the opening area of the opening 26L. Fig. 8 is a side view of the mechanism shown in Fig. 7. In FIGS. 7 and 8, the adjustment mechanism 28L is representatively illustrated. In addition, the adjustment mechanism 28R is the same as the adjustment mechanism 28L except that the structure and the adjustment mechanism 28L are reversed left and right. As illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8, the adjustment mechanism 28L includes a guide rail 281, a slider 282, and an adjustment member 283. The guide rail 281 is mounted on the side wall part 21L. The guide rail 281 has an elongated shape and is arranged along the Y direction or the side edge EL. The slider 282 is movably installed along the guide rail 281. In addition, the position of the slider 282 on the guide rail 281 is fixed by screws or the like not shown. The adjustment member 283 is fixed to the slider 282 with screws or the like. Here, the adjusting member 283 is arranged as a plate-shaped member orthogonal to the second surface S2, and corresponds to the position of the slider 282 on the guide rail 281, and all or a part of the opening 26L is closed. The adjustment member 283 can move along the Y direction or the side edge EL together with the slider 282. As shown in FIG. 8, the adjustment member 283 adjusts the opening area of the opening 26L by this movement. Here, as the position of the adjustment member 283 moves backward, the opening area of the opening 26L becomes larger. When the opening area of the opening 26L becomes larger, the possibility that the amusement item B will fall through the opening 26L becomes higher. In addition, the structure of the adjustment mechanism 28L is not limited to the structure shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 as long as the opening area of the opening 26L can be adjusted. For example, the opening area can be adjusted by replacing the adjustment member 283 with a member of a different size. In addition, the structure of the openings 26L and 26R may include an opening provided on the upper surface of the table 30. In this case, the area of the opening may be adjusted.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the second restriction portion 32L protruding from the second surface S2 is provided on the table 30 along the side edge EL. The second restriction portion 32L is an elongated member extending over the entire length of the opening portion 26L. The second restricting portion 32L is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane H, and is higher as it is closer to the negative side in the X direction. Therefore, the second restricting portion 32L can prevent the plurality of amusement items B from falling from the side edge EL of the second surface S2 through the opening portion 26L (gratuitous collection and falling).

Similarly, the second restricting portion 32R protruding from the second surface S2 along the side edge ER is provided on the table 30. The second restricting portion 32R is an elongated member extending in the entire length direction of the opening 26R. The second restricting portion 32R is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane H, and is higher as it is closer to the positive side in the X direction. Therefore, the second restricting portion 32R can prevent a large number of amusement items B from falling from the side edge ER of the second surface S2 through the opening 26R.

As illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, the propulsion section 40 in this embodiment is provided with a third restricting section 41. The third restricting portion 41 is a member that protrudes from the first surface S1 along the front edge E1 of the pushing portion 40. Specifically, the third restricting portion 41 extends along the X direction (in other words, a direction intersecting the Y direction in which the propelling portion 40 moves back and forth) over the entire front edge E1. The third restricting portion 41 is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane H, and becomes higher as it approaches the positive side in the Y direction. Therefore, the third restricting portion 41 can prevent the many amusement items B from falling freely from the front edge E1 of the first surface S1.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, on the first surface S1 of the propulsion unit 40, a plurality of grooves 42 are formed along the Y direction (in other words, the direction of the back and forth movement of the propulsion unit 40 ). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the amusement item B thrown in from the throwing part 50L or the throwing part 50R in the X direction from reaching the end on the opposite side of the propelling part 40 freely. The plurality of grooves 42 are arranged in the X direction at substantially equal intervals. The interval between two adjacent grooves 42 in the X direction is smaller than the diameter of the amusement tool B, and the depth of each groove 42 is smaller than the diameter of the amusement tool B. In addition, the shape of the groove 42 may be appropriately changed. For example, on the first surface S1, a curved surface (wave-like cross section) can be formed Or it is the groove part 42 which combined a plurality of flat shapes (for example, bellows). In addition, the interval between the grooves 42 may be different depending on the position in the X direction.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, the propulsion unit 40 is constituted by including an inclined surface Sa and a pressing surface Sb in addition to the first surface S1 described above. The pressing surface Sb is a wall surface that rises slightly perpendicular to the reciprocating surface S0 of the table 30. The amusement item B on the second surface S2 moves back and forth with the pusher 40, and is pushed in the Y direction by the pressing surface Sb. In addition, the pressing surface Sb may be inclined with respect to the reciprocating surface S0.

The inclined surface Sa is an outer surface inclined to the front side with respect to the first surface S1 of the propulsion unit 40. Specifically, the inclined surface Sa is inclined with respect to the first surface S1, and becomes lower toward the positive side in the Y direction. As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, on the inclined surface Sa of the pushing portion 40, a plurality of protrusions 43 protruding from the inclined surface Sa are formed. Each protrusion 43 is, for example, a column such as a cylinder or a prism, or a cone (or a frustum) such as a cone or a pyramid. The plurality of protrusions 43 are spaced apart from each other, and are distributed on the inclined surface Sa. The distance between two adjacent protrusions 43 is greater than the diameter of the amusement item B. Therefore, the amusement equipment B that crosses the third restricting portion 41 from the first surface S1 and falls onto the inclined surface Sa will move irregularly between the protrusions 43 while colliding with the protrusions 43, and move from the inclined surface Sa. The lowermost end (in other words, the boundary between the inclined surface Sa and the pressing surface Sb) drops to the second surface S2 of the table 30. In other words, the plurality of protrusions 43 suppress the linear movement of the amusement item B on the inclined surface Sa.

A plurality of staying members 44 are provided on the pressing surface Sb (in other words, the front surface) of the pushing part 40. As illustrated in FIG. 2, each staying member 44 is a structure in which a recess 441 and a guide path 442 are formed on the upper surface. The concave portion 441 is a concave in the shape of a curved surface (for example, a spherical shape or a cylindrical shape) that allows the amusement item B to move smoothly. The guide passage 442 is formed on the front side of the recess 441 and communicates with the recess of the recess 441 (specifically, a groove-shaped passage along the Y direction).

Among the inclined surfaces Sa, the amusement item B that has fallen from a position other than directly above each staying member 44 does not come into contact with the staying member 44, but directly falls from the second surface S2 of the table 30. On the other hand, in the inclined surface Sa, the amusement item B dropped from directly above each staying member 44 is received in the recess 441 of the staying member 44 before directly falling on the second surface S2. The amusement item B dropped in the recess 441 of the stay member 44, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 2, moves along the curved surface of the recess 441 while repeatedly shaking left and right, while gradually moving toward the front side (the guide road 442 side), from The end of the recess 441 passes through the guide path 442 and then falls from the staying member 44. As understood from the above description, the staying member 44 can stop the amusement equipment B dropped from the first surface S1 and the inclined surface Sa of the propulsion unit 40.

As illustrated in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, between the side wall portion 21L and the side wall portion 21R, a bridge 70 is provided. The bridge body 70 is an elongated plate-shaped member that extends linearly in the X direction from the side wall portion 21L to the side wall portion 21R. The erection body 70 is installed at a height separated from the second surface S2 of the table 30 at intervals only exceeding the diameter of the amusement tool B. Specifically, when viewed from the Y direction, the erection body 70 overlaps with the pressing surface Sb of the pushing portion 40.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, corresponding to different staying members 44, a plurality of (3) through holes 71 are formed on the erection body 70. Each through hole 71 is a slightly circular through hole formed to have an inner diameter exceeding the diameter of the amusement item B. Therefore, the amusement item B can pass through the aforementioned passing hole 71. The through hole 71 corresponding to any one of the stay members 44 is provided at a position in the X direction corresponding to the stay member 44. Specifically, the position in the X direction of the guide path 442 in the stay member 44 and the position in the X direction corresponding to the center of the through hole 71 of the stay member 44 are roughly the same.

With respect to the plurality of staying members 44 moving back and forth in the Y direction together with the propelling portion 40, the position of the erection body 70 in the Y direction is fixed. In other words, each staying member 44 will repeatedly approach and leave the erection body 70. When the propelling part 40 moves to the foremost state within the range of moving back and forth (in other words, the staying member 44 is closest to the erection body 70), as shown in FIG. 3, the passing hole 71 is located in the guide path of each staying member 44 Right below 442. Therefore, when the propulsion part 40 is close enough to the erection body 70 (in other words, when it is located near the front end of the range of moving back and forth), when the amusement item B falls from the guide path 442 of the stay member 44, the amusement item B will pass through After the hole 71, it falls onto the second surface S2 of the table 30. On the other hand, when the propulsion part 40 leaves the erection body 70, the amusement item B falling from the guide path 442 of the stay member 44 does not pass through the through hole 71 and falls onto the second surface S2 of the table 30. In other words, depending on the position of the propelling portion 40 in the Y direction when the amusement item B falls from the stay member 44, whether the amusement item B passes through the through hole 71 is changed.

On the inner peripheral surface of each passing hole 71, a detector (not shown) for detecting passage of the amusement item B is provided. When the checker detects that the amusement item B passes, it will execute a lottery process such as coin-operated games, and pay the player the reward as a condition of winning in the lottery process. According to the result of the lottery process, a preset number of amusement items B can be thrown on the first side S1 or the second side S2. In addition, if the condition is to win a prize in the lottery process, an amusement item (large ball) of a larger size than the normal amusement item B may be thrown on the first surface S1 or the second surface S2. As understood from the above description, with the goal that the amusement item B dropped from the first surface S1 passes through the through hole 71, the player can realize the pleasure of adjusting the timing of the input of the amusement item B (operation of the operating element).

Fig. 9 is a block diagram showing the control system of the game device 1 in the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the game device 1 includes a processor 81, a storage device 82, a detection device 83, a display device 84, a management device 85, and a driving device 86. The structure of the storage device 82 includes: for example, various information and the hardware of the program PG are recorded. Disk drive and RAM (Random Access Memory), etc. The structure of the processor 81 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) for controlling various units of the game device 1. The processor 81 executes the program PG stored in the storage device 82 to realize various functions including the calculation unit 811 and the calculation unit 812. The structure of the detecting device 83 includes a plurality of detectors for detecting the amusement props B passing through each unit of the game device 1. Here, the detection device 83 includes the aforementioned detector 60. Although the display device 84 is not shown, its structure includes a liquid crystal display panel or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display panel installed in the aforementioned playground F. The management device 85 is a device for performing the aforementioned credit management related processing. The structure of the driving device 86 includes actuators for driving each unit of the game device 1.

In the game device 1 having the above control system, the calculation unit 811 calculates the number of amusement items B falling from the front edge E2 of the second surface S2 based on the detection result of the detector 60. The calculation unit 812 calculates the ratio of the number of amusement items B dropped in from the input units 50L and 50R to the number calculated by the calculation unit 811 (hereinafter referred to as "payment rate"). For example, the payment rate will increase at any time as the amusement item B wears out. Therefore, if the payment rate exceeds the predetermined value, the administrator must be notified to adjust the payment rate. Therefore, if the payment rate calculated by the calculation unit 812 exceeds a predetermined value, the processor 81 will notify the display device 84 of this message. Here, if the payment rate calculated by the calculation unit 812 exceeds a predetermined value, the display device 84 uses the function of the notification unit 841 to notify this message. In addition, the display form of the notification is not particularly limited, and it can be arbitrarily. In addition, the notification is not limited to be displayed by the display device 84, for example, the notification may be performed by sound or the like. In addition, the actuators used to drive the adjustment mechanisms 28L and 28R can also be controlled by the processor 81. In this case, if the payment rate calculated by the calculation unit 812 exceeds the predetermined value, the processor 81 not only notifies this message, but also uses the adjustment agencies 28L and 28R to adjust the payment without notifying this message. rate.

Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing notification processing of the game device 1 in the embodiment. When the game device 1 is started, or when the reset operation of this process is received, first, the processor 81 uses the calculation unit 811 to start counting (S101). At this time, the number of amusement items B thrown in from the throwing parts 50L and 50R is calculated. Next, the processor 81 determines whether the aforementioned payment rate is above the set value (S102). This judgment is repeated until it is judged that the payment rate is higher than the set value (S102: NO). If it is determined that the payment rate is higher than the set value (S102: YES), the processor 81 will notify the display device 84 of the message (S103). Using this notification, the manager of the game device 1 can know that the payment rate must be adjusted. Then, the manager will use, for example, the aforementioned adjustment agencies 28L and 28R to adjust the payment rate. Specifically, by increasing the opening areas of the openings 26L and 26R, it is possible to increase the possibility of the amusement device B falling through the opening 26L, and to reduce the payment rate. After the adjustment, the administrator performs the reset operation of this process.

<Modifications>

Various modifications can be made to the form exemplified above. The specific modification aspect applicable to the foregoing aspect is as exemplified below. Two or more aspects selected arbitrarily from the following examples can be appropriately combined within a range that does not contradict each other.

(1) In the foregoing form, although a guide portion 33 is exemplified and includes a wall surface 331 extending linearly along the upper surface of the table 30, the specific form of the guide portion 33 is not limited to the above Exemplify. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the guide portion 33A including the wall surface 332 protruding and bent on the rear side may also be installed on the upper surface of the table 30. The guide 33A can balance the ease of passing the amusement item B over the wall 331 and the amount of movement of the amusement item B along the wall 332. The position of the guide 33A in the longitudinal direction can make It's different. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 12, for example, the guide portion 33B including the wall surface 333 that is recessed and bent on the rear side may be installed on the upper surface of the table 30. Using the guide portion 33B, the aforementioned balance can be achieved, and the position of the guide portion 33B in the longitudinal direction makes it appear the same as that shown in FIG. 11 It's exactly the opposite. In addition, the wall surfaces 332 and 333 are not limited to the bent shape, and a curved shape may be used.

(2) In the aforementioned form, the number of wall surfaces 331 included in the guide portion 33 is two as an example, but it is not limited to this, and three or more may be used. As illustrated in FIG. 13, for example, with the center of the second surface S2 as a reference, the guide portion 33C provided on the upper surface of the table 30 includes two wall surfaces in the negative and positive regions in the X direction. 334 is fine. The ranges of the two wall surfaces 334 in the X direction do not overlap, and are arranged with an interval therebetween. Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 14, the guide portion 33D provided on the upper surface of the table 30 with the center of the second surface S2 as a reference includes two regions on the negative and positive sides in the X direction. A wall 335 is no problem. When the ranges of the two wall surfaces 335 in the X direction are partially overlapped, they are arranged at intervals. In addition, the inclination angles of the plurality of wall surfaces 334 or the plurality of wall surfaces 335 with respect to the Y direction may be different from each other. In addition, in the example of FIG. 13 or FIG. 14, as long as the assembly of the two wall surfaces 334 or the two wall surfaces 335 extends obliquely with respect to the Y direction, the two wall surfaces 334 or the two wall surfaces 335 are Or both, they can extend in the direction perpendicular to the Y direction.

(3) In the aforementioned form, the cross-sectional shape of the convex portions 33L and 33R of the guide portion 33 is illustrated as a rectangle, but the cross-sectional shape is not limited to a rectangle. Therefore, the angle θ 2 between the wall surface 331 and the second surface S2 is not limited to 90°. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 15, the guide portion 33E including the wall surface 337 whose angle θ 2 is greater than 90° may be provided on the upper surface of the table 30. Here, for example, the angle θ 2 may be greater than 90° and less than 135°. In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, the guide portion 33F whose front side of the wall surface 337 is a flat surface may be provided on the upper surface of the table 30. Here, the guiding part 33F and the table 30 are integrated. In addition, the aforementioned wall surfaces 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, or 338 are not limited to flat surfaces. For example, they may be concave or convex.

(4) In the aforementioned form, although the guide portion 33 has the rear wall surface 331 of the convex portions 33L and 33R, it is not limited to this. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 17, the guide portion 33G of the front wall surface 338 including the recessed portion may be provided on the table 30.

(5) In each of the aforementioned forms, although the amusement item B is illustrated as a sphere, the form of the amusement item B is not limited to the above example. For example, it is also possible to use an amusement item B in the shape of a polyhedron (typically a regular polyhedron or a semi-regular polyhedron), or an amusement item B in a three-dimensional shape with rounded corners. As understood from the above description, the amusement item B is a possible three-dimensional object that can be rolled in any posture (direction). Tokens (such as gold coins or coins) and other circular plates, although the arc-shaped circumferential surface will roll in the direction of contacting the ground, the flat surface or the reverse surface will not roll in the direction of contacting the ground. , So it cannot be applied to "three-dimensional objects that can roll in any posture." A typical example of "three-dimensional objects that can be rolled in any posture" is a three-dimensional object whose entire circumference is curved (typically a sphere), but some flat three-dimensional objects are also suitable for "three-dimensional objects that can be rolled in any posture" ".

(6) The first restricting portion 31, the second restricting portion 32 (32L, 32R), the third restricting portion 41, the groove portion 42, the protrusion 43, and the stay member 44 illustrated in the foregoing form are used as a whole An element (suppression part) that suppresses the amount of movement (or amount of exercise) of the amusement item B. Among the many elements exemplified above as the suppression unit, any one or more elements may be omitted. In addition, the specific aspect of the suppression part is not limited to what was illustrated in each aspect mentioned above. For example, the uneven part provided on the surface (the second surface S2) of the table 30 can also be used as a restraining part. The structure of the concavo-convex portion includes at least one of a convex portion protruding from the second surface S2 of the table 30 and a concave portion recessed with respect to the second surface S2. In addition, it is also possible to provide concavities and convexities within a predetermined range on the surface of the table 30 (the second surface S2) to limit the range in which the movement amount of the amusement item B is suppressed. For example, from the front edge E2 of the table 30, the uneven portion may be provided within a set range.
