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) 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 in which a game ball is more likely to roll into the right side game area. By controlling the movable return rubber drive mechanism I54b, it is possible to execute a displacement control for displacing the movable return rubber to either of the front position or the rear position. The movable return rubber includes a high repulsion return rubber component I54Ia surface and a low repulsion return rubber component I54Ib surface. When the movable return rubber is positioned in the front position, the low repulsion return rubber component of the movable return rubber and a game ball are less likely to collide with each other.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 679

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 against 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 the 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 to cause 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 having at least a first surface as a surface capable of colliding with a game ball and a second surface different from the first surface, the gaming machine being configured such that when the collision member is located at the first position, it is difficult for the second surface of the collision member to collide with a game ball. A gaming machine characterized by the above.
