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 I54 (scallop gate HT) to either of a front position Ip1 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 Ip2 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 the movable return rubber I54 to either of the front position Ip1 or the rear position Ip2. A first period during which the movable return rubber I54 reaches to a middle position Ip3 from the front position Ip1 is differentiated from a second period required for a game ball shot by a shooting device to collide with the movable return rubber I54.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 677

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 at the first launching intensity by the launching means can flow down, first ball-in 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-in means, a collision member that the game balls launched at a second launching intensity stronger than the first launching intensity by the launching means can collide with, a second flow path through which at least some of the game balls launched at the second launching intensity by the launching means can flow down, second ball-in 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-in 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 at 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 at 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 for 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 through the displacement support mechanism by controlling the driving means, wherein the first displacement and the second displacement are performed passing through a third position which is a predetermined position between the first position and the second position, and the gaming machine is configured such that a first period required from when the displacement control is executed until the collision member reaches the third position is different from a second period required until the game balls launched by the launching device collide with the collision member. A gaming machine characterized by the above.
