Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a pachinko machine which prevents not only an unfair act from the lower part of a gauge board but the unfair act from other parts except the lower part of the gauge board from being performed and can suppress sound of collision between a game ball and a covering member to the utmost. SOLUTION: A gap between a glass and a rail decoration 30 can be filled with a P-wire-proof member 40. As a result of this, as there exists no gap between the glass and the rail decoration 30, it is possible to prevent a tool such as a music wire from being inserted from an upper part and a lower part of the rail decoration 30. On the other hand, as the glass and the P-wire- proof member 40 are brought into face contact with each other, in comparison with a case of a line contact, vibration of the glass can be effectively absorbed (damped). It is therefore possible to damp the sound of collision of the game balls as fast as possible.
