DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to a pachinko game machine which has a ball counting means for dispensing a given number of pachinko balls, based on the signal from a control means for controlling the pachinko game machine, and pachinko balls are supplied from a supply conduit to the control means through communicating members located in a game machine island.
BACKGROUND ART
There is a prior pachinko ball machine having an upper tray in an upper section of the machine and pachinko balls are supplied to the upper tray, from a supply conduit in a game island through a chute member. In such pachinko game machine, pachinko balls are stored in the upper tray and sent to a lower positioned ball through a counting means for counting and dispensing such balls as needed.
A front tray, located under game panel of the pachinko game machine, for storing dispensed pachinko balls and an under tray for storing overflowed balls are communicated with a bypass. If the under tray has been filled with pachinko balls, a control means stops playing of the game to prevent pachinko balls from overflowing.
In such pachinko game machine, pachinko balls from the supply conduit are brought into a line in the chute means before they are dispensed and stored in the upper tray disorderly, and then they are brought into a line again before being sent to the counting means. Therefore, it takes some time to dispense pachinko balls, and problems such as jamming and dispensing a lot of pachinko balls is inefficient. Furthermore, since a game is always interrupted when the under tray has been filled up with pachinko balls, the interest of a player is spoiled.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a pachinko game machine wherein ball dispensing efficiency is high and the game is not interrupted half way during a play, and the game can be continued without spoiling the interest of a player.
According to the present invention, there is provided, in a pachinko game machine (10) having a ball counting means (30) for dispensing a given number of pachinko balls, based on the signal from a control means (40) for controlling the pachinko game machine, and being supplied pachinko balls from a supply conduit (20) to the control means through communicating members (21, 22) located in a game machine island, the pachinko game machine comprising: a front tray (14) for storing pachinko balls dispensed to a player by ball counting means (30); an under tray (15) for storing overflowed balls from front tray (14); a held ball counting means (90), mounted under said under tray (15), for counting pachinko balls overflowed from the under tray (15) at any time; an overflow path member (60) for introducing pachinko balls dispensed from ball counting means (30) to front tray (14), under tray (15) and held ball counting means (90) in the back side of the game panel. Overflow path member (60) is composed of: supply path (61) for front tray for connecting ball counting means (30) and front tray (14), supply path (62) for under tray, branched from supply path (61) for front tray and connected to under tray (15), that introduces pachinko balls overflowed from supply path (61) for front tray to under tray (15) when front tray (14) is filled up with pachinko balls, and supply path (62) for held ball counting means, branched from supply path (62) for under tray and connected to held ball counting means (90), that introduces pachinko balls overflowed from supply path (62) for under tray to held ball counting means (90) when under tray (15) is filled up with pachinko balls; and held ball display (50), FIG. 5, mounted on the front side of game panel (11), FIG. 7, for displaying visibly the number of the pachinko balls according to the orders from the control means (40), FIG. 1, which receives signals from held ball counting means (90) when counting means (90) counts the pachinko balls introduced from the supply path for held ball counting means (64).
