[0003]

However, since the color of the light emitted from the electric decoration by lighting the lamp is limited to the color itself attached to the cover of the electric decoration, in order to further enhance the effect in the game area. Moreover, even if the lamps were turned on and off, it was impossible to get out of the monotonous color of the light emitted from the electrical decorations.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a game in which a pachinko ball rolls by reflecting changes in light emission of a plurality of colors on the pachinko ball rolling in the game area. An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine that can increase the interest of the player by expanding the range of the effect of the area.

[0005]

The invention according to claim 1 made in order to solve this problem is a multi-color LED capable of emitting light of a plurality of colors as a light source of a game area in which a pachinko ball rolls. A pachinko machine in which a pachinko ball rolling in the game area is caused to reflect a change in emission of a plurality of colors of the LED, and for rolling the pachinko ball around or around the multi-color LED. In addition, the multi-color LED is protected by a cover of light-transmissive resin,
Is characterized by.

The invention according to claim 2 is the pachinko machine according to claim 1, characterized in that the color of the cover is colorless and transparent. The invention according to claim 3 is the pachinko machine according to claim 1,
The color of the cover is such that all the emission colors of the multi-color LED can be emitted to the outside.

The invention according to claim 4 is the pachinko machine according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the single color chips of red, blue and green are integrally sealed. The multi-color LED is composed of a product. Further, the invention according to claim 5 is the pachinko machine according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the red, blue, and green single-color LEDs are a single assembly. The feature is that a multi-color LED is configured.

That is, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, a multi-color LED capable of emitting light of a plurality of colors is used as a light emitting source in the game area where the pachinko ball rolls. The light emitted from the multi-color LED is reflected, and the pachinko ball rolling in the game area becomes colorful due to the plurality of colors of light emitted from the multi-color LED.
Therefore, the pachinko balls rolling in the game area are reflected in the light emission changes of a plurality of colors, and the effect of the game area in which the pachinko balls roll is widened, so that the player's interest can be increased. .

In particular, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, in order to roll the pachinko ball around or around the multi-color LED, the multi-color LED is protected by the cover of the light-transmissive resin, and the game area is rolled. It is possible to bring a moving pachinko ball into contact with or collide with the cover. As a result, the number of cases in which the distance between the multi-color LED and the pachinko ball is further increased, so that the light emitted from the multi-color LED is more easily reflected by the pachinko ball rolling in the game area.

The color of the cover may be colorless and transparent, or may be a color capable of emitting all the emission colors of the multi-color LED to the outside.

Further, the multi-color LED may be composed of an encapsulant in which red, blue, and green single-color chips are integrated, or the red, blue, and green single-color LEDs are integrated. It may be composed of an assembly.
