Description

  The present invention relates to a spinning-type game machine that uses a game ball to play a game, and particularly relates to a structure of an upper plate that is disposed on the front surface of a casing of the rotary-type game machine and stores the game ball.

In recent years, a number of spinning-type gaming machines that use game balls have been developed in place of the spinning-type gaming machines that play using game medals. In this spinning-type game machine, five game balls are used as equivalent to one game medal.
In addition, in the conventional swing type gaming machine, the maximum number of game medals that can be used in one game is defined as three, so when converted into game balls, five, ten, and fifteen in one game. One game ball can be used.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the game ball P used for playing the game is stored in the upper plate 203 disposed on the front surface of the casing 202 of the spinning-type game machine 201 and plays a game. Each time the insertion button 204 is pressed, an appropriate number of game balls P are fed from the upper plate 203 to the game ball insertion device 205 disposed in the housing 202 through the insertion port.
Here, the vicinity of the inlet of the upper plate 203 is covered with a cover so that the internal structure, electrical wiring, and the like are not visible.

  In the conventional swivel type gaming machine 201, the vicinity of the insertion port of the upper plate 203 is covered with a cover, so that the player can surely recognize whether or not sufficient game balls P remain on the upper plate 203. Even if the insertion button 204 is pressed, the number of game balls P necessary for one game does not remain, and the game must be interrupted halfway.

In order to eliminate such inconvenience, a spinning-type game machine has been proposed in which a player can visually recognize a game ball remaining on an upper plate (see Patent Document 1).
In this spinning machine, the side surface of the cover of the upper plate 1 from the upper plate 1 to the slot is made transparent so that the player can visually recognize the game ball P remaining on the upper plate 1. is there.
