Game machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine which can improve the amusement of a game.SOLUTION: A game machine includes a movable return rubber drive mechanism I54b which generates driving force for displacing a movable return rubber I54I (scallop gate HT) to either of a front position Ip10 in which a game ball shot with right shooting is less likely to roll into a right side game area 30r or a rear position Ip20 in which a game ball is more likely to roll into the right side game area 30r. By controlling the movable return rubber drive mechanism I54b, it is possible to execute a displacement control for displacing a movable return rubber I54C to either of the front position Ip1 or the rear position Ip2. The movable return rubber I54I has a high repulsion return rubber I54Ia surface and a low repulsion return rubber I54Ib surface. In a forward displacement, a game ball colliding with the low repulsive return rubber I54Ib surface is more likely to roll into the right side game area 30r than a game ball colliding with the high repulsive return rubber I54Ia surface.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 680

Claims

【Claim 1】 A game area where game balls can flow down, launching means capable of launching game balls toward the game area with different launching intensities, a first flow path through which the game balls launched with a first launching intensity by the launching means can flow down, first ball entry means into which the game balls flowing down through the first flow path can enter, first privilege granting means capable of granting a first privilege based on the entry of the game balls into the first ball entry means, a collision member with which the game balls launched with a second launching intensity stronger than the first launching intensity by the launching means can collide, a second flow path through which at least some of the game balls launched with the second launching intensity by the launching means can flow down, second ball entry means into which the game balls flowing down through the second flow path can enter, second privilege granting means capable of granting a second privilege based on the entry of the game balls into the second ball entry means, and a gaming machine capable of generating a plurality of gaming situations including at least a first gaming situation in which game balls flow down through the first flow path and a second gaming situation in which it is more advantageous for the player to have game balls flow down through the second flow path than through the first flow path, driving means for generating a driving force for displacing the collision member to either a first position where it is difficult for the game balls launched with the second launching intensity to flow down through the second flow path or a second position where it is easy for the game balls launched with the second launching intensity to flow down through the second flow path, a displacement support mechanism for supporting the collision member so as to be displaced to either the first position or the second position by the driving force of the driving means, displacement control means for executing displacement control capable of causing either a first displacement for displacing the collision member from the first position to the second position or a second displacement for displacing the collision member from the second position to the first position via the displacement support mechanism by controlling the driving means, the collision member has at least a first surface as a surface that can collide with a game ball and a second surface different from the first surface, the gaming machine is configured such that, during the displacement from the second position to the first position by the second displacement, the game balls that collide with the second surface of the collision member are more likely to flow down through the second flow path than the game balls that collide with the first surface of the collision member. A gaming machine characterized by the above.
