Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a novel structure for electronically displaying a winning opening provided on a game board surface of a pachinko machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, as is well known, a pachinko machine called an arepachi or the like has 16 winning holes arranged in a row in a row below a game board surface, and pachinko balls flowing down on the game board surface are When the player wins a predetermined combination in the winning opening, the player wins a prize ball or opens the variable winning device. Therefore, numbers 1 to 16 or symbols or the like are displayed at the respective winning openings, and lamps for lighting and indicating that the prize is won are provided below the symbols or the like.

[0003]

However, with the above-mentioned structure, when a card for explaining the game contents to the player is put on the lower part of the front glass, the lamp is placed behind this card. There was a problem that it was hidden and the winning status could not be displayed. However, in the conventional structure, since the distance between the game board surface and the glass inner surface is as narrow as about 20 mm, it is not possible to provide a light source requiring a mounting space such as a lamp on the front wall surface of the winning opening. Therefore, the above problem could not be solved.

[0004]

A winning device for a pachinko machine according to the present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and is provided so as to project from a game board surface so as to catch a pachinko ball flowing down on the game board surface. In addition, the electronic display means is provided on the front wall surface of the winning opening. Further, the present invention, the electronic display means in the winning device, a transparent lens formed in a flat plate shape is fitted to the front wall surface of the winning opening, and a light emitting diode is provided so as to face the end surface of the lens,
The light from the light emitting diode is diffusely reflected by the lens. Further, the present invention is characterized in that the electronic display means in the above-mentioned winning device is formed by sticking a seal tape, on which a desired shape such as a number or a symbol is made transparent, on which a peripheral edge is printed, on the front surface of the lens.

For this reason, since the electronic display means is thinly provided on the front wall surface of the winning opening, the winning situation can be easily grasped by the electronic display. Since it is not necessary to provide a display area for numbers and a light source area such as a lamp above and below as in the prior art, the required vertical width for display can be reduced.
