Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which a central opening of a gaming machine frame can be easily enlarged.

A pachinko machine is a game machine frame that is attached to a game machine installation structure called an island of a pachinko store, and a game board with a ball flying area and winning parts and directing parts is attached in a replaceable manner. The frame has a back mechanism such as a tank, a payout mechanism, a launch mechanism, a power supply device, a payout control device, a launch control device, etc., and the game board is a back mechanism such as a main control device, a symbol control device, an indicator light control device, a sound control device, etc. It is the structure provided with. When the game board is attached to the game board storage room of the game machine frame, the game main body storage that constitutes the game board storage room of the game machine frame in order to protrude the back mechanism of the game board from the game board storage room to the back side. A central opening is formed in the structure. In addition, when the gaming machine frame is viewed from the back side, the tank is disposed at the upper left part from the central opening and is attached to the gaming main body storage structure because of the relationship with the ball outlet of the supply system in the gaming machine installation structure. . The payout mechanism is disposed on the right side of the central opening due to wiring, and is attached to the game main body storage structure. For this reason, since the ball outlet of the tank and the ball inlet of the payout mechanism are separated from each other, the tank ball outlet and the ball inlet of the payout mechanism are connected by a relay rod called a lower tank. The relay rod is disposed between the tank and the central opening and attached to the game main body storage structure. As described above, since the payout mechanism is disposed on the right side of the central opening, the lateral width of the central opening cannot be increased. Further, since the relay rod is disposed between the tank and the central opening, the vertical width of the central opening cannot be increased. In other words, since the central opening is small, the layout of the back mechanisms such as the main control device, design control device, indicator light control device, and sound control device of the game board is congested, and many wires are confused. There is. FIG. 7 shows the back side of the pachinko machine.

  According to the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, when the gaming machine frame 1 is viewed from the back side, the tank 75 provided on the upper left side (opposite to the hinge 4) with respect to the central opening 22 of the gaming machine frame 1. However, it is provided with a payout mechanism 76 inside, and the ball that is paid out from the payout mechanism 76 is guided vertically to the ball accommodating portion 17 side of the ball tray structure 8 shown in FIG. A casket 82 is provided on the left side of the central opening 22 of the gaming machine frame 1 corresponding to just below the tank 75. Therefore, the relay rod 125 shown in FIG. 7 that connects the tank 75 and the payout mechanism 76 becomes unnecessary, and the vertical dimension of the central opening 22 for escaping the back mechanism of the game board 35 shown in FIG. 4 attached to the gaming machine frame 1. There is an advantage that can be increased. That is, if the vertical dimension of the central opening 22 in FIG. 1 is H1, and the vertical dimension of the central opening 112 in FIG. 7 is H2, then H1> H2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, when the game board 35 is attached to the gaming machine frame 1, the back surface around the exit from which the ball jumps from the launch passage of the game board 35 to the game area is exposed to the central opening 22. The A back mechanism such as a winning component, a movable component, or a decoration is required around the exit where the ball jumps out from the launch passage corresponding to the back surface of the game board 35 exposed to the central opening 22 to the game area. No gaming components are provided. Therefore, there is an advantage that the back surface of the game board 35 exposed to the central opening 22 can be used as a surface to be attached to the back surface of the game board 35 such as the main control device 53 or the composite control device 54.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when the gaming machine frame 1 is viewed from the back side, electrical components provided on the gaming board 35 and the gaming machine frame 1 are provided on the right side of the central opening 22 of the gaming machine frame 1. Since the frame side connectors 24 for connecting the electrical components are provided in a row in the vertical direction, the lateral width for providing the frame side connectors 24 is smaller than the lateral width for providing the payout mechanism 115 shown in FIG. Therefore, there is an advantage that the lateral dimension of the central opening 22 can be increased. That is, if the vertical dimension of the central opening 22 in FIG. 1 is D1, and the vertical dimension of the central opening 112 in FIG. 7 is D2, D1> D2. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6, when the game board 35 is attached to the gaming machine frame 1, the back surface around the launch passage of the game board 35 is exposed to the central opening 22. And, around the launch passage corresponding to the back surface of the game board 35 exposed in the central opening 22, there is no game component requiring a back mechanism such as a winning component, a movable component, or a decoration. . Therefore, there is an advantage that the back surface of the game board 35 exposed to the central opening 22 can be used as a surface to be attached to the back surface of the game board 35 such as the main control device 53 or the composite control device 54.

  Therefore, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control device 53 is provided on the back surface of the game board 35 exposed to the central opening 22, and the composite control device 54 is provided directly below the main control device 53, A wiring for connecting the main control device 53, the composite control device 54, and the symbol control device 55 to each other is provided on the back surface of the game board 35 on the right side of the symbol control device 55. Therefore, there is an advantage that the arrangement of the back mechanism of the game board 35 can be simplified. Further, since the wiring for connecting the main control device 53, the composite control device 54, and the symbol control device 55 to each other is formed by the board-side flexible wiring 41, a large number of individual wires are disturbed. There is an advantage that the arrangement becomes more orderly.
