Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine which can appropriately guide a game ball shot by shooting means to a game area.SOLUTION: An outer guide rail (outer rail) 27 has a guide face 27A which guides a game ball. The guide face 27 has a first region R1, and a second region R2 located in an upper side of the first region R1. The first region R1 is more planar than the second region R2. A shooting device (shooting means) 16 can shoot a game ball with a shooting strength C (first shooting strength) enough to deliver the game ball to a striking position (left shooting reference position) BP of a game area 108a. When a position of the guide face 27A with which the game ball shot with the shooting strength C firstly comes into contact is assumed as a first contact position, the first contact position is within the first region.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 30

Claims

[Claim 1] A game board having a guide area and a game area; a launching means capable of launching game balls; an outer rail and an inner rail capable of guiding the game balls launched by the launching means from the guide area to the game area; and a ball return prevention mechanism for preventing the game balls from returning from the game area to the guide area, The aforementioned game board has a predetermined member on which a sheet is provided, The aforementioned outer rail has a guide surface for guiding the game balls, The guide surface has a first region and a second region located above the first region. The first region is more planar than the second region. The launching means is capable of launching game balls with a first launching intensity that allows them to reach the left-handed reference position in the game area. If the position where the game ball launched with the first launch intensity first contacts the guide surface is defined as the first contact position, then the first contact position is within the range of the first region. The ball return prevention mechanism includes a displacement member that can be displaced between a first state, a second state, and a third state, and a storage member that houses a part of the displacement member. The displacement member has a first side portion facing the outer rail, a second side portion facing the game area, and a tip portion on the tip side. The storage member has an upper end, The distance from the tip to the outer rail is defined as a specific distance. The game ball that is moving from the guide area towards the game area is referred to as the first game ball. If we consider the game ball that is moving from the game area towards the guide area as the second game ball, The first state is a state in which the specific distance is shorter than that of the second state. The second state is a state in which the specific distance is longer than that of the first state. The third state is a state in which the first game ball is in contact with the first side portion, the outer rail, and the second game ball, and the second game ball is in contact with the tip portion, the outer rail, and the first game ball, so that the specific distance is longer than in the first state, shorter than in the second state, and shorter than the distance from the lowest point of the second game ball to the outer rail. In the first state, The second game ball may come into contact with the upper end and the second side portion. The distance from the contact point between the second game ball and the upper end to the contact point between the second game ball and the second side portion is defined as the first distance. If we define the second distance as the distance from the lowest point to the leftmost point of the second game ball, A gaming machine in which the first distance is shorter than the second distance.
