Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine including a gaming board.

  For example, in a pachinko machine that is one of the representative examples of gaming machines, a symbol display device that performs a required symbol variation game, a start winning device, etc. are arranged on a gaming board on which gaming balls can flow down, and flows down the gaming board surface. The game ball to be played wins the start winning device, so that the symbol changing game is started on the symbol display device. As a result of the symbol variation game, a special symbol combination (so-called big hit) advantageous to the player is generated by displaying a predetermined symbol combination (big hit symbol) on the symbol display device. When the special game is generated, the special winning device disposed on the game board is opened to give the player an opportunity to pay out a lot of prize balls. Thus, in order for a special game to occur, a combination of predetermined symbols needs to be displayed on the symbol display device, so the player's interest is directed to the symbol variation game on the symbol display device. Yes.

By the way, the recent pachinko machines have a tendency to increase the interest of the game by increasing the size of the symbol display device that is highly noticed by the player and increasing the power of the symbol variation game. However, since the size of the game board on which the symbol display device is arranged is limited, when the symbol display device is enlarged, the route through which the game balls can flow down on the game board is limited. There arises a problem that interest in movement is reduced. Therefore, Patent Document 1 discloses that the gaming board has a translucent member that can be visually recognized from the front side (player side) and a rendering member such as an LED disposed on the back side and a symbol display device, and the back side cannot be visually recognized. There is disclosed a pachinko machine that is constituted by an opaque member in which a game nail is implanted, and is configured such that the surfaces of the transparent member and the opaque member are located on substantially the same plane. In other words, the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 is such that the surface of the translucent member and the non-translucent member is positioned substantially on the same plane, so that even if the symbol display device or the production member is enlarged, The game ball can flow down on the surface side of the optical member, and the game ball can flow down through various routes. Here, as an assembly structure of the translucent member and the non-translucent member, the effect member and the translucent member are not translucent in a state where the translucent member is assembled on the front side of the effect member. The hook member formed on the rear end side of the effect member is inserted into the opening of the transparent member from the front side, and the members are assembled by engaging with the back side of the opaque member.
JP 2000-42181 (FIGS. 5 and 6)

However, when the translucent member is removed from the translucent member during the replacement work or the maintenance work of the gaming machine when the translucent member, the production member or the translucent member fails Since it is necessary to remove the effect member once from the light-impermeable member and then to remove the light-transmitting member from the effect member, the workability is not excellent. Further, since the hook provided on the effect member is engaged with the back side of the light-impermeable member, when the effect member is removed, the engagement of the hook is released on the back side of the light-impermeable member. At the same time, it is necessary to extract the effect member from the opening of the light-impermeable member. In other words, since it is necessary to perform work before and after the game board (opaque member) is sandwiched, there is a drawback that maintenance work and replacement work become complicated and take time.
In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine including a gaming board in which a light-transmitting member can be easily attached to and detached from a light-impermeable member.

In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems and achieve the intended purpose, a gaming machine according to claim 1 of the present application is
A non-translucent member (12) in which an opening (14) having a required shape is opened, and the back side is invisible from the front side of the game board;
A translucent member (20) that is removably inserted into the opening (14) of the non-translucent member (12) and that can be visually recognized from the front side of the rendering means (50) facing the back side,
A fixed position for fixing the translucent member (20) inserted in the opening (14) and a fixed release position where the translucent member (20) can be removed. And fixing means (30) that can be operated to
By operating the fixing means (30) from the unlocking position to the fixing position with the light transmitting member (20) inserted into the opening (14) of the opaque member (12), the opaque member The light transmissive member (20) is fixed to the light transmissive member (12), and the opening (14) of the light transmissive member (12) is operated by operating the fixing means (30) from the fixed position to the fixed release position. The gist is that a game board (10) configured to be able to remove the translucent member (20) is provided.

  Thus, the translucent member can be attached to and detached from the non-translucent member by operating the fixing means between the fixed position and the fixed release position. That is, since the translucent member can be easily attached and detached by simply operating the fixing means, it is possible to improve workability such as maintenance work and replacement work. In addition, since the translucent member and the non-translucent member can be exchanged as necessary, when a translucent member or a non-translucent member is used as a common member in a plurality of models, the recycling efficiency is improved. Can contribute to the reduction of waste.

In the gaming machine according to claim 2, the fixing means (30) includes a shaft portion (32) rotatably inserted into an insertion hole (18) formed in the opaque member (12), and the shaft. A projecting portion (36) formed on one end of the portion (32) and located outside the insertion hole (18); and the translucent member (20) formed on the projecting portion (36). A fixed portion (38) capable of contacting the fixed portion, an operating portion (40) capable of rotating the fixed portion (38) to a fixed position and a fixed release position, and the other end of the shaft portion (32). A drop-off prevention portion that is formed and protrudes in the radial direction, and engages with an engagement portion provided in the light-impermeable member (12) to prevent the shaft portion (32) from falling off from the insertion hole (18). (42)
By displacing the fixed portion (38) to a fixed position by the turning operation of the operation portion (40), the fixed portion (38) comes into contact with the light transmissive member (20) and is impermeable member. The translucent member is fixed to (12), and the fixing portion (38) is displaced to the fixing release position by rotating the operation portion (40), so that the fixing portion (38) is translucent (20 The light transmission member can be removed from the light transmission member (12) apart from the light transmission member.

  According to this configuration, since the translucent member can be attached and detached with a simple operation by simply rotating the operation unit, workability such as maintenance work and replacement work can be further improved. Further, since the drop-off preventing portion is formed on the fixing means, the fixing means does not drop off from the light-impermeable member during operation of the operation portion.

In the gaming machine according to claim 3, the translucent member (20) is formed in a flat plate shape and is inserted into the opening (14), and an outer portion of the main body (22). It consists of holding parts (24, 26) that extend outward from the periphery,

When the main body (22) is inserted into the opening (14) and the holding portion (24, 26) is fitted into the recess (16, 17), the surface of the main body (22) is opaque. The translucent member (12) is positioned substantially on the same plane as the surface of the translucent member (12), and the translucent member (20) is held and fixed by the translucent member (12) and the fixing means (30) in this state. The gist.

  As described above, the translucent member is clamped and fixed by the translucent member and the fixing means in a state where the holding portion of the translucent member is in contact with the concave portion of the translucent member. The translucent member can be securely fixed. In addition, when the translucent member is clamped and fixed, the surface thereof is positioned substantially on the same plane as the translucent member surface. It is possible to prevent an influence on the movement of the game ball flowing down.

  The gist of the gaming machine according to claim 4 is that the translucent member (20) is formed in an asymmetrical shape.

  Thus, by forming the translucent member in an asymmetrical shape, the translucent member can be fixed to the non-translucent member in an appropriate mounting posture.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, the translucent member can be easily attached to and detached from the non-translucent member.

  Next, the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of preferred embodiments.

Here, as the non-translucent member 12, a synthetic resin material having no translucency such as wood such as plywood or ABS resin is suitably employed, and as the translucent member 20, a translucent member such as acrylic resin is used. A synthetic resin material or glass plate having light properties is preferably employed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the light-impermeable member 12 is provided with a rail 11 that is curved in a substantially circular shape so that a pachinko ball is launched into a game area 10 a surrounded by the rail 11. It is configured. Also, various winning devices such as a start winning device (winning device) 52 and a special winning device (winning device) 54 that can win a pachinko ball are arranged below the opening 14 in the light-impermeable member 12. In addition, a large number of game nails 60 (only some of the game nails 60 are shown in a simplified manner in FIGS. 7A and 7B) are planted and contacted with the game nails 60. The pachinko ball will flow down while changing direction. Here, when a switch (not shown) arranged in the start winning device 52 detects a pachinko ball, the symbol display game 50 is started by the symbol display device 50. As a result of the symbol variation game, a symbol is combined in a specific combination. Is stopped and displayed, a special game (so-called big hit) is generated, and the special prize-winning device 54 is opened to give an opportunity to obtain a large number of prize balls. The light-impermeable member 12 is provided with a plurality of general winning devices (winning devices) 56 capable of winning a pachinko ball in the vicinity of the special winning device 54. It is set to pay out a predetermined number of pachinko balls when winning the pachinko balls. Further, at the lowermost position of the game area 10 a in the light-impermeable member 12, the pachinko balls that have not won the start winning device 52, the special winning device 54, and the general winning device 56 are discharged to the back side of the game board 10. An out port 58 is provided. The translucent member 12 has a cell plate (not shown) or the like having a desired design attached to the surface thereof.

  On the other hand, the translucent member 20 is provided with a large number of game nails 61 (only some of the game nails 61 are simply shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B). The pachinko ball launched into the game area 10a flows down while changing its direction by contact with the game nail 60 provided on the light-impermeable member 12 or the game nail 61 provided on the light-transmissive member 20, and A prize is given to the start winning device 52, the special winning device 54, and the general winning device 56 for the opaque member 12. Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the translucent member 20 is formed in a flat plate shape and inserted into the opening 14 of the non-translucent member 12, and the rear of the main body portion 22. A first flange portion (holding portion) 24 extending upward from the side upper edge portion over its entire length, and a second flange portion extending downward from the rear lower edge portion of the main body portion 22 over its entire length. (Holding part) 26 is integrally formed, and a large number of the game nails 61 are implanted on the surface of the main body part 22. Further, in the embodiment, the extension dimension of the first flange part 24 from the main body part 22 is set shorter than the extension dimension of the second flange part 26 from the main body part 22 (FIG. 3 or FIG. 7). (See (a) and (b)). That is, the translucent member 20 is formed in an asymmetrical shape when viewed from the front. In FIG. 1, the portion of the rail 11 located on the light transmissive member 20 is provided on the light transmissive member 20 and is connected to the rail 11 located on the light transmissive member 12. Is done.

  The opening 14 opened in the light-impermeable member 12 is located at a position slightly above the center of the light-impermeable member 12 and has a substantially full width on the left and right sides of the light-impermeable member 12 and generally in the vertical direction. It is formed so as to open at approximately half the size, and is configured such that the opening 14 (that is, the translucent member 20) occupies most of the gaming area 10a (see FIG. 1). Here, the opening 14 is set to a size that matches the outer shape of the main body 22 of the translucent member 20. Further, a first concave portion (concave portion) 16 that is substantially aligned with the first flange portion 24 is formed at a position corresponding to the first flange portion 24 in the opaque member 12, and the second flange portion 26, a second concave portion (concave portion) 17 that is substantially aligned with the second flange portion 26 is formed, and the first and second flange portions 24, 26 respectively correspond to the first and second corresponding portions. 2 is adapted to be fitted into the recesses 16 and 17 (see FIG. 2 or FIG. 7B). Further, the main body portion 22 of the light transmissive member 20 is inserted into the opening portion 14 of the light transmissive member 12, and the first and second flange portions 24 and 26 are respectively connected to the corresponding first and second recess portions 16. , 17 is configured such that the surface of the main body portion 22 is positioned substantially on the same plane as the surface of the opaque member 12 (see FIG. 6 or FIG. 7A). Further, the opaque member 12 is provided with insertion holes 18 (see FIG. 6 and the like) penetrating in the front and rear directions at four positions spaced apart left and right above and below the opening 14, respectively. The translucent member 20 inserted into the opening 14 is positioned and fixed by a fixture (fixing means) 30 attached to the insertion hole 18.

  As shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, the fixture 30 includes a shaft portion 32 that can be inserted into the insertion hole 18 formed in the opaque member 12, and one end portion (rear side) of the shaft portion 32. A base 34 having a diameter larger than that of the insertion hole 18, a protrusion 36 formed in the base 34 and extending in the radial direction of the shaft 32, and an end front side of the protrusion 36 ( A fixing portion 38 that is formed to protrude on the light-transmitting member 12 side and can contact the light-transmitting member 20 inserted into the opening 14, and a back side (the light-transmitting member 12 and the light-transmitting member 12). (Opposite face) formed on the operation portion 40 that can be operated by the fingers of the operator and the other end portion (front end portion) of the shaft portion 32 and protrudes in the radial direction, and is opaque. The drop-off prevention portion 42 detachably engaged with the opening edge of the insertion hole 18 on the front side of the member 12 is an integrally molded product made of synthetic resin. It is configured Te. That is, the opening edge of the insertion hole 18 in the light-impermeable member 12 functions as an engaging portion that is detachably engaged with the drop-off preventing portion 42. Further, the shaft portion 32 and the drop-off prevention portion 42 are formed with slits 44 having a cross section in the longitudinal section so as to allow the drop-off prevention portion 42 to be elastically deformed inward in the radial direction.

  That is, when the fixing tool 30 is moved to the light-impermeable member 12 side with the shaft portion 32 of the fixing tool 30 aligned behind the insertion hole 18, the drop-off prevention portion 42 is moved to the light-impermeable member 12. It contacts the opening edge of the insertion hole 18 on the back side. When the fixture 30 is moved to the light-impermeable member 12 in this state, the drop-off prevention part 42 is inserted into the insertion hole 18 with the elastic deformation of the drop-off prevention part 42 in the radial direction. When the fixing tool 30 is moved and the drop-off prevention part 42 is pulled out from the insertion hole 18, the drop-off prevention part 42 is elastically restored and engages with the opening edge of the insertion hole 18 on the front side of the opaque member 12. At this time, the movement of the fixture 30 in the front-rear direction is restricted by the base 34 coming into contact with the back surface of the opaque member 12. Here, the shaft portion 32 is formed to have a slightly smaller diameter than the insertion hole 18, and the operator can turn the operation portion 40 in a state where the shaft portion 32 is inserted into the insertion hole 18. It has become. In addition, since the drop-off prevention part 42 is formed in the fixture 30, the fixture 30 is not dropped from the light-impermeable member 12 during the turning operation of the operation unit 40.

  Here, the projecting portion 36 and the fixed portion 38 correspond to the first or the corresponding corresponding to the fixed portion 38 when the projecting portion 36 is directed to the opening 14 side by the turning operation of the operation portion 40. It faces the rear of the second recesses 16 and 17 (see FIG. 6). In other words, the fixing portion 38 is fixed to the back side of the first or second flange portion 24 or 26 of the translucent member 20 inserted into the opening 14 (see FIG. 2 or FIG. 7B). , And can be displaced between a fixed release position (see FIG. 3 or FIG. 7 (a)) spaced from the flange portions 24, 26. In other words, in a state where the fixed portion 38 is displaced to the fixed position, the flange portions 24 and 26 of the translucent member 20 are connected to the fixed portion 38 and the first or second concave portions 16 and 17 of the opaque member 12. In the state where the translucent member 20 is fixed to the opening 14 and the fixing portion 38 is displaced to the fixing release position, the fixing portion 38 and the first non-translucent member 12 are fixed. Alternatively, the holding and fixing by the second recesses 16 and 17 is released, so that the translucent member 20 can be attached to and detached from the opening 14.

(Effects of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine according to the embodiment configured as described above will be described. When the translucent member 20 is assembled to the non-translucent member 12, each fixing tool 30 attached to the insertion hole 18 of the non-translucent member 12 is released by the rotation operation of the operation unit 40. Displace to position. And while inserting the main-body part 22 of the translucent member 20 in the opening part 14 of the said translucent member 12, the 1st flange part 24 and the 2nd flange part 26 of the translucent member 20 are made opaque. The member 12 is fitted in the corresponding first and second recesses 16 and 17. In this state, the operation portion 40 of the fixing tool 30 is rotated to displace the fixing portion 38 from the fixing release position to the fixing position, so that the fixing portion 38 becomes the translucent member 20 (first flange portion). 24 and the back surface of the second flange portion 26). That is, the forward movement of the translucent member 20 is regulated by the first and second flange portions 26 coming into contact with the corresponding first or second recesses 16 and 17, and the backward movement is The first and second flange portions 26 are restricted by contacting the fixing portion 38 of the fixing tool 30. Moreover, since the movement of the translucent member 20 in the vertical and horizontal directions is restricted by inserting the main body 22 into the opening 14, the translucent member 20 can be held at a predetermined position. Further, the first and second flange portions 26 of the translucent member 20 are in contact with the corresponding first and second recesses 16 and 17 of the non-translucent member 12 in the first side. Since the first and second flange portions 26 are clamped and fixed by the light-impermeable member 12 and the fixing portion 38 by bringing the fixing portion 38 into contact with the back surface side of the second flange portion 26, The sex member 20 can be reliably fixed.

  In the embodiment, the extension dimension of the first flange part 24 from the main body part 22 of the translucent member 20 and the extension dimension of the second flange part 26 from the main body part 22 are different from each other. The first and second recesses 16 and 17 of the light-impermeable member 12 are formed in a shape that matches the corresponding flange portions 24 and 26. Accordingly, when the light transmissive member 20 is to be inserted into the opening 14 of the light transmissive member 12 in an upside down posture, the first and second flange portions 24 and 26 are the first ones. Since the first and second recesses 16 and 17 are not fitted, it is possible to prevent the translucent member 20 from being fixed to the translucent member 12 in an inappropriate mounting posture. For this reason, the game nails 61 implanted in the translucent member 20 can be arranged in a predetermined arrangement in a state where the translucent member 20 is assembled to the non-translucent member 12. The game can be surely performed under conditions. Further, for example, in the case where a ball passage member or the like on which a pachinko ball rolls is attached to the translucent member 20, when the translucent member 20 is attached to the opening 14 in an upside down posture, the ball passage There is a possibility that the member may not perform its intended function. On the other hand, in the embodiment, since the translucent member 20 can be reliably assembled to the opening 14 in an appropriate mounting posture, there is an advantage that the intended function can be exerted on the spherical passage member.

  On the other hand, when removing the light transmissive member 20 from the light transmissive member 12, the fixing portions 38 of the respective fixtures 30 attached to the light transmissive member 12 are fixed to the fixed positions by rotating the operation portion 40. Displace from to the fixed release position. In this state, the light transmissive member 20 can be removed from the light transmissive member 12 by extracting the light transmissive member 20 from the opening 14 of the light transmissive member 12. Thus, the translucent member 20 can be easily moved relative to the opening 14 of the non-translucent member 12 simply by operating the fixing tool 30 and operating the fixing portion 38 between the fixing position and the fixing release position. It is possible to attach and detach. Therefore, when troubles such as damage occur in the translucent member 20, the translucent member 12, etc., workability such as replacement work and maintenance work of the translucent member 20 and the translucent member 12 is improved. It can improve.

  In addition, since only one of the translucent member 20 and the non-translucent member 12 can be replaced as needed, so-called model change in which the game board 10 and the symbol display device 50 are replaced to change the game play of the pachinko machine. For example, waste can be reduced. In particular, when the translucent member 20 and the non-translucent member 12 are used as a common member in a plurality of models, there is an advantage that can contribute to an improvement in recycling efficiency. Specifically, when the translucent member 20 or the non-translucent member 12 is replaced at the time of so-called model change, the light-transmitting member 20 or the non-translucent member 12 that has become unnecessary is replaced with another pachinko machine game. It can be used as a member of the board 10 and waste can be reduced. Further, as in the embodiment, the light-impermeable member 12 is replaced by arranging a winning device such as the start winning device 52, the special winning device 54, the general winning device 56, etc. In this case, the overall impression of the game board 10 can be greatly changed, and the pachinko ball on the game board 10 can be replaced by replacing the translucent member 20 by implanting the game nail 61 in the translucent member 20. You can easily change the flow route. As described above, since the playability of the pachinko machine can be easily changed by simply replacing either the light transmissive member 20 or the light transmissive member 12, the light transmissive member 20 or the light transmissive member can be changed. There is also an advantage that the versatility of 12 can be improved.

  Further, when the translucent member 20 is assembled to the non-translucent member 12, the surface of the main body portion 22 and the surface of the non-translucent member 12 in the translucent member 20 are positioned on substantially the same plane. By doing so, there is no unnecessary influence on the movement of the pachinko balls flowing down the game area 10a (the surfaces of the translucent member 20 and the non-translucent member 12). That is, when the translucent member 20 and the non-translucent member 12 are assembled, if there is a step between the members, the pachinko balls flowing down the game area 10a are repelled in an unexpected direction. Although the expected game may not be developed, the surface of the main body 22 and the surface of the non-translucent member 12 in the translucent member 20 are positioned on substantially the same plane as in the embodiment. Such problems can be prevented.

[Example of change]
Note that the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and various modifications can be made.
In the embodiment, the translucent member can be mounted in an appropriate mounting posture by changing the extension dimension of the holding portion (flange portion) extending from the upper and lower end edges of the main body portion in the translucent member. However, it is not limited to this configuration. For example, the shape of the holding portion extending from the upper and lower end edge portions of the main body portion of the translucent member may be made different, or the position where the holding portion is formed may be made different so as not to be symmetric. Moreover, it is possible to obtain the same effect by changing the outer shape of the main body portion of the translucent member. That is, by forming the translucent member (main body portion or holding portion) in an asymmetrical shape in front view, the translucent member is fixed to the translucent member in an appropriate mounting posture. Can do.

  In the embodiment, an opening larger than the game area is opened in the light-impermeable member, but it may be opened only inside the game area. At this time, by making the opening asymmetrical, the translucent member can be mounted in an appropriate mounting posture as described above.

  In the embodiment, the translucent member is assembled from the back side of the non-translucent member, but a concave portion is formed on the front side of the translucent member, and the translucent member is formed from the front side of the translucent member. It is also possible to configure so as to be assembled.

  The shape and configuration of the fixing means for fixing the translucent member to the non-translucent member are not limited to those of the embodiment, and can be arbitrarily changed. For example, in the embodiment, the operating portion for rotating the fixing means is formed on the protruding portion. However, the operating portion may be formed on the base side, or may be formed over the protruding portion and the base portion. Is possible.

  In the embodiment, the insertion hole for attaching the fixing means is formed so as to penetrate the translucent member forward and backward with a constant diameter. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the insertion hole 18 is formed with a small diameter portion 65 into which the shaft portion 32 of the fixing tool 30 can be inserted, and a larger diameter than the small diameter portion 65. You may make it form in the stepped through-hole shape which consists of the large diameter part 67 which faces. In this case, the drop-off prevention part 42 of the fixture 30 is inserted into the small-diameter part 65, and when the drop-off prevention part 42 reaches the large-diameter part 67, it is elastically restored to the opaque member 12. Engage. At this time, by accommodating the drop-off prevention part 42 in the large-diameter part 67, the drop-off prevention part 42 can be prevented from protruding from the surface of the light-impermeable member 12. Furthermore, a step is generated on the surface of the light-impermeable member 12 by covering the insertion hole 18 (large diameter portion 67) with a cell plate or the like adhered to the surface side of the light-impermeable member 12.
