Gaming machine

Abstract

The present invention provides a gaming machine comprising a gaming ball detection device for detecting a gaming ball having passed through a predetermined region of a gaming member provided on a gaming board, the gaming ball detection device comprising: magnetic flux generation means for generating a magnetic flux; and magnetic flux detection means for detecting a change in magnetic flux generated by the magnetic flux generation means, wherein the gaming member has a housing case in which the magnetic flux generation means and the magnetic flux detection means are housed side-by-side, facing the predetermined region, and the housing case is formed to have a cut-out shape in which a body of the housing case does not reach an extension of a line connecting a central point of the magnetic flux generation means with a central point of the gaming ball passing through the predetermined region, and the body of the housing case does not reach an extension of a line connecting a central point of the magnetic flux detection means with the central point of the gaming ball passing through the predetermined region.

1 . A gaming machine comprising a gaming ball detection device for detecting a gaming ball having passed through a predetermined region of a gaming member provided on a gaming board, 
 said gaming ball detection device comprising:    magnetic flux generation means for generating a magnetic flux; and    magnetic flux detection means for detecting a change in magnetic flux generated by the magnetic flux generation means,    wherein    said gaming member has a housing case in which said magnetic flux generation means and said magnetic flux detection means are housed side-by-side, facing said predetermined region, and    said housing case is formed to have a cut-out shape in which a body of the housing case does not reach an extension of a line connecting a central point of said magnetic flux generation means with a central point of the gaming ball passing through said predetermined region, and the body of the housing case does not reach an extension of a line connecting a central point of said magnetic flux detection means with the central point of the gaming ball passing through said predetermined region.    
   
   
       2 . The gaming machine according to  claim 1 , 
 wherein    said magnetic flux generation means and said magnetic flux detection means are provided in the same plane inside said housing case.    
   
   
       3 . The gaming machine according to  claim 1 , 
 wherein    said housing case houses a metal plate at a place inside the case, where a magnetic flux generated by said magnetic flux generation means flows to said magnetic flux detection means.
