Benefits of technology

[0005] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a game machine in which the connection between two different games, such as a computer lottery game and a physical lottery game, is strong, thereby providing a excellent game property.
[0021] In the above-described computer lottery game, since the winning or not is determined by the execution of the computer program, it is advantageous that a large-size equipment is not required but it is difficult to obtain player's assurance that the winning probability is changed. On the other hand, in the so-called physical lottery game, it is easy to obtain such player's assurance although a large-size equipment is required.
[0022] As the second lottery game in which the winning probability is changed when the prescribed mode switching requirement is satisfied, it is adopted a physical lottery game in which whether a winning is hit is determined in accordance with whether the lottery moving body supplied from the supplier is received by a prescribed winning port. Accordingly, it is easier to obtain player's assurance that the winning probability of the second lottery game is changed, in comparison with the case where a computer lottery game is adopted.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, there are difficulties in providing an excellent game property.
In such a conventional pusher game machine, however, the connection between the games is also weak.
Therefore, even in the conventional pusher game machine which executes two different games, the connection between the games is where the game result of one game is just a start-condition of the other game, which means the connection therebetween is weak.
Therefore, there are also difficulties in providing an excellent game property.

first embodiment

[0044]FIG. 2 illustrates a pusher game machine 1 according to the invention. The pusher game machine 1 has eight separate play fields 2. In each of the play fields 2, two players can play games. That is, up to 16 players can play games at the same time. Further, a play space in which players enjoy games is partitioned by posts 3 provided in the respective play fields 2. Between the posts 3, each of the play field is covered by transparent glass. Accordingly, players cannot directly touch mechanisms inside the play field 2. Further, in each of the play fields 2, a pusher game is performed by a station 10 serving as a game machine which independently performs the pusher game.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 3, the station 10 has two token feeders 11 for feeding a token into the play field 2. Each of the token feeder 11 has a token feeding port 11a serving as a token receiver which is exposed outside the pusher game machine 1. When the token feeding port 11a receives a token from a player, the ...

second embodiment

[0081] Next, the invention will be described. In this embodiment, the fantastic chance is performed by using a central lottery device 150 (shown in FIG. 7) instead of the above-described central lottery device 50. The central lottery device 150 includes three thumper bumpers 151a, 151b, and 151c, a lottery ball receiving table 152 serving as a non-winning port forming member, and a lottery ball supplier (not shown) which supplies a lottery ball B1 onto the lottery ball receiving table 152. The lottery ball supplier includes a lottery ball storing section (not shown), a ball supply controller (not shown), and a conveyance rail 153a (shown in FIG. 7) which conveys the lottery ball B3 from the lottery ball storing section onto the lottery ball receiving table 152. When receiving a ball supply instruction from the main controller 30, the ball supply controller conveys a lottery ball B3 within the lottery ball storing section to the upper portion of the conveyance rail 153a. Accordingly,...

Abstract

A play field includes a token table adapted to mount a plurality of tokens on an upper face thereof, and a groove adapted to receive a token fallen from the token table. A moving table is moving along the upper face of the token table in such a direction that the tokens on the token tables are pushed toward the groove. A token supplier is operable to supply a token to a player in a case where a token pushed by the moving table is fallen from the token table to the groove. A first game executer is operable to execute a first game with one of a plurality of first operation modes. A second game executer is operable to execute a second game with one of a plurality of second operation modes. An operation mode switcher is operable to switch the one of the first operation modes to another one and to switch the one of the second operation modes to another one, when a prescribed mode switching requirement is satisfied.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a game machine which can execute two games different from each other. BACKGROUND ART [0002] In Japanese Patent No. 3542119, a pusher game machine has been disclosed which includes a plurality of lottery mechanisms. In this pusher game machine, when a fed token passes through a token passing port of a token checker, a lottery program is executed so that a computer lottery game (a first game) using a winning probability table (winning probability data) is executed. Further, when a ball bonus combination is hit in the lottery game, a ball is supplied onto the tokens on a token table. When the ball falls down to a token-falling groove from the token table, the ball is conveyed into a ball lottery device. In the ball lottery device, a physical lottery game (a second game) is performed, in which it is judged whether the conveyed ball enters a prescribed winning port or not. When winning is determined in the physical lottery game, an ...
