A pachinko gaming machine has a light source or a sound source on a game board or a glass frame, and these emit light or emit sound, thereby producing a production effect. However, players in recent years are familiar with the contents of the conventional production device, and it is difficult to expect a sufficient production effect. On the other hand, it is conceivable to use an image display device that enables a plurality of image effects, but there is a problem that the configuration is complicated and the initial cost increases.
An object of the present invention is to provide an effect device for a ball game machine capable of producing a plurality of effect effects with a simple configuration.

The present invention for solving the above problems has the following configuration.
(1) a game area where the thrown game balls flow down;
A game board for forming the game area between the front glass plate,
A holding member provided in the game board and having a window on the front side;
A sheet material accommodated in the holding member and carrying visual information;
In the holding member, comprising a positioning member inserted between the sheet material and the window,
An effect device in a ball game machine, wherein a light source is disposed on the back side of the holding member.

  (2) The effect device for the ball game machine according to (1), further including a changing unit that changes the color of the light source to the same color as the color of the visual information and a different color.

  (3) The effect device in the ball game machine according to (1) or (2), wherein the holding member includes a support member attached to the sheet material, and the support member is translucent.

  According to the invention described in claim 1, since the distance between the window portion and the sheet material is ensured by the positioning portion, when visual information of the sheet material is visually recognized from the window portion, The positional relationship with the visual information changes, and the player can feel the depth. Further, the visual information carried by the sheet material is clearly displayed by the light emitted from the light source.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the color of the light source can be changed, and the visual information can be displayed more clearly by making the color of the light source different from the color of the visual information. On the other hand, by making the color of the light source and the color of the visual information the same, it is possible to produce a state in which the visual information is not displayed or is difficult to visually recognize in a state where the window portion is lit.

  According to invention of Claim 3, since the supporting member is translucent, the outline of the visual information which can be visually recognized through a window part becomes unclear. As a result, the player is given an illusion that there is something that is visually recognized (represented by visual information) further behind the window. Further, since it is translucent, it is difficult to visually recognize the light source side of the support member by turning off the light source, and it is easy to hide the visual information. That is, it is possible to clearly switch between a state in which visual information is displayed and a state in which visual information is not displayed.

In addition, the light source is provided in the base | substrate 9 side corresponding to each production | presentation apparatus 8a, 8b, 8c, respectively. (The light-emitting diodes provided corresponding to the rendering device 8c are not shown.)
The holding member 81 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the opening portion on the front side is formed with a window portion 812 provided with a crosspiece 811 that intersects vertically and horizontally. The crosspiece 811 is formed to be convexly curved on the front side. A positioning member 82 is inserted into the holding member 81 from an opening 813 on the back surface. The positioning member 82 is made of a transparent material, and is positioned between the curved protrusion 821 that overlaps and closes the window 812, and the window 812 that overlaps the inner wall of the holding member 81 and the support member 83. And a positioning portion 822 that functions as a spacer. The curved projecting portion 821 is formed to have a curvature along the curvature of the crosspiece 811, and also has an effect of decorating the window portion 812 as if glass is fitted into the window portion 812 while being attached to the holding member 81. . A space 823 is formed inside the positioning member 82.

  In the holding member 81, the support member 83 is brought into contact with the open end of the positioning portion 822 of the positioning member 82. The support member 83 is made of a transparent material. However, fine irregularities are formed on the surface, and the transparency is suppressed by irregular reflection due to the irregularities. Further, a sheet material 84 is stacked on the back side of the support member 83. The sheet material 84 is made of a transparent material, and visual information 841 is carried on the surface of the sheet material 84. Here, the visual information is information that can be recognized visually, and examples thereof include symbols, figures, characters, patterns, and anime characters. In this embodiment, it is an anime character imitating a person. This visual information is colored in an arbitrary color.

  Further, a fixing member 85 is stacked on the back side of the sheet material 84. The fixing member 85 projects outwardly from a contact portion 851 that comes into contact with the sheet material 84 from the back surface, a side wall portion 852 that is fitted along the inner wall of the holding member 81, and a back surface side opening portion 853 of the side wall portion 852. A flange 854 is formed, and this flange 854 contacts the opening end of the holding member 81.

As described above, when the positioning member 82, the support member 83, the sheet material 84, and the fixing member 85 are sequentially loaded into the holding member 81, the sheet material 84 is held at a predetermined position in the holding member 81, and the sheet The sheet material 84 is fixed in a state where an appropriate distance is provided between the visual information of the material 84 and the window portion 812.

  On the other hand, a light emitting diode 94a is arranged on the base 9 side at a position corresponding to the rendering device 8a. A plurality of light emitting diodes 94a are provided, and a plurality of diodes for different colors are provided. For example, there are a diode that develops the same color as the color of visual information, a diode that develops a different color, and a diode that emits uncolored light. In addition, a diode that generates a color that is complementary to the color of the visual information may be provided. Alternatively, light emitting diodes of three primary colors (red, blue, yellow) may be arranged and appropriately selected and used so that a desired color can be obtained by combining a plurality of colors.

  The coloring of the visual information can be selected from those that allow visible light to pass through and those that cannot pass through. When transmission is impossible, the content of the visual information is displayed as a shadow on the support member 83 regardless of the color emitted by the light emitting diode. In the case where transmission is possible, when visible light passes through the portion where the visual information is displayed, the transmitted light is changed to a color to which the color in which the visual information is colored is added. That is, when the visual information is red, the transmitted light is red when colorless light is emitted from the light source.

Further, when blue light is emitted from the light source, light that transmits visual information (transmitted light) becomes purple by combining red and blue. By selecting the color of the light source (diode) using such a property, the color displayed by visual information can be changed to a desired color. Furthermore, by emitting light of the same color as the visual information from the light source, it is possible to produce a state in which the visual information is not displayed or is difficult to view while the support member 83 is illuminated by the light source.
As described above, the color of light emitted from the light source can be changed by selecting a diode that generates a specific color from a plurality of diodes that emit light of the three primary colors.

  FIG. 5 is an overall view showing a state of the rendering device 8a in a state where the light emitting diode 94a is caused to emit light, and FIG. 6 is an overall view showing a state of the rendering device 8a in a state where the light emitting diode 94a is turned off. In a state where the light emitting diode 94a is emitting light, the visual information 841 is lifted and is visible to the player. Even in this case, since the support member 83 is translucent, the contour is unclear. As a result, the sense of distance between the visual information and the window portion becomes ambiguous, the depth is felt beyond the support member, and the object that is visible further behind the window (in this case, the character is The player is given the illusion that there is a person to be shown).

Further, by emitting a color that is complementary to the color of the visual information 841 from the light source, the visual information 841 can be highlighted more clearly.
Further, when the light emitting diode 94a is turned off, the back side of the translucent support member 83 becomes dark, so that even visual information cannot be visually recognized. Thus, the display and disappearance of visual information can be controlled only by turning on / off the light emission of the light source.

  On the other hand, the position of the visual information 841 is not changed. However, if the direction of the line of sight of the visual information 841 is changed, the positional relationship between the crosspiece 811 and the visual information 841 changes. be able to. Conventionally, since the depth of the pachinko gaming machine itself is small, it has been difficult to produce an effect that makes the player recognize the depth. In particular, it has been particularly difficult to make the player feel the depth on the decorative part arranged around the liquid crystal display device, for example, on the periphery of the liquid crystal display device, or on the glass frame itself, other than the stage located at the center of the game board. As described above, the depth can be produced by the positional relationship between the crosspiece 811 of the window portion 812 and the visual information 841.

  Next, game control means for performing game control in this gaming machine will be described.

In FIG. 7, the game control means 200 is a means for overall control of the entire ball and ball game machine 100 including the progress and effects of the game.
