Benefits of technology

[0021] With this constitution, since the illegality signal is different only in length from a signal which is outputted when the illegality detecting means is not detecting an illegal action, it is possible to constitute a simple circuit which receives a signal outputted from the illegality detecting means and determines whether or not the r

Problems solved by technology

However, with the constitution configured to inhibit output of the detection signal from the ball passing sensor at the time of detecting an illegal action, as the above-mentioned gaming ball detecting device in the conventional pachi-slot machine, temporary prevention of an illegal action, such as cancellation of payout of prize balls fr

Abstract

A gaming machine of the present invention comprises a detecting part configured to detect a change in physical phenomenon occurring in a predetermined region of a game board through which a gaming ball is passable; an illegality detecting means configured to detect an illegal action based upon detection of a change in physical phenomenon by the detecting part, the change being different from a change in physical phenomenon occurring when the gaming ball passes through the predetermined region; and an output means configured to output an illegality signal indicating detection of the illegal action based upon the detection of the illegal action by the illegality detecting means.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims benefit of priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-189739 filed on Jun. 29, 2005. [0002] The contents of this application are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] 1. Field of the Invention [0004] The present invention relates to a gaming machine comprising a detecting part configured to detect a change in physical phenomenon occurring in a predetermined region of a game board through which a gaming ball is passable. [0005] 2. Discussion of the Background [0006] Conventional examples of the gaming machine of the kind described above include a pachinko gaming machine. Generally, in the pachinko gaming machine, when a pachinko ball having been launched to a game board enters a regular winning opening in the course of flowing down on the game board face, prize balls are paid out. Further, when the pachinko ball passes through a passing gate, a start winn...
