Description

  In the present invention, a start prize device capable of winning a game ball flowing down the game area is arranged on the game board, and the symbols of the symbol display device arranged on the game board start to fluctuate by winning the start prize device. The present invention relates to a gaming machine configured as described above.

A pachinko machine, which is a typical gaming machine, has a frame-like decorative member disposed at a substantially central position of a game area defined on a board surface of a gaming board set in the machine. In addition to facing a symbol display device such as a drum type or the like, a start winning device for starting a variation of the symbol on the symbol display device by winning a pachinko ball (game ball) is arranged below the decorative member on the game board A number of such configurations have been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). In this type of pachinko machine, the pachinko ball launched into the game area wins the starting prize-winning device, whereby various game effects such as a reach effect accompanying a symbol variation game are made on the symbol display device. When the symbols on the display device are stopped in a predetermined combination, a so-called jackpot that is advantageous to the player is generated.
In this way, in order to generate a big hit, it is necessary to win a pachinko ball to the start winning device, so that the player can start the winning winning device in the same manner as the symbol variation game on the symbol display device. He enjoys playing games with great interest in winning the pachinko ball. Therefore, in the pachinko machine, a so-called stage in which the pachinko ball rolls in the left-right direction is provided at the lower edge of the decorative member, and the pachinko ball flowing down the game area is temporarily inserted into the decorative member via a warp route or the like. It is configured to increase the expectation of winning the start winning device by the movement of the pachinko ball by receiving it, guiding it to the stage, and discharging it to the game area above the start winning device after rolling on the stage. .
Further, a visual effect is provided by disposing a movable effect device having a movable body that performs a required operation on the decorative member, and operating the movable body in accordance with a game effect performed by the symbol display device. The idea is also made to improve the game and enhance the fun of the game. The shutter device as a movable effect device disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes two shutter members that operate on the front side of the symbol display device, and both shutter members are swung by the drive motor to display the symbol display device. The production effect is improved by shielding or opening the part.

Here, the upper part of the decorative member is a part where a pachinko ball is launched into the game area, and is a part that the player pays attention to. Therefore, various movable bodies and light emitting devices are placed on the upper part of the decorative member. Arranged to enhance interest. In this case, if the drive mechanism of the shutter device that is movable in the window of the decorative member is arranged in the upper portion of the decorative member as in the cited reference 1, it interferes with another movable body, its drive mechanism, or the light emitting device. The degree of freedom in design is low, and the arrangement of the movable body and the light emitting device is limited.
Therefore, if the driving mechanism of the shutter device that is movable in the window of the decorative member is disposed in the lower part of the decorative member, the problem is solved. However, since the drive mechanism of the shutter device is configured to drive two shutter members with a single drive motor, the drive mechanism is disposed at the center of swinging of both shutter members, and the drive mechanism is decorated. When disposed in the lower part of the member, in order to avoid interference with the stage disposed at the lower end edge of the decorative member or the starting prize-winning device disposed directly under the decorative member, the drive mechanism is placed on the stage. In other words, it is disposed behind the start winning device, resulting in a disadvantage that the longitudinal dimension of the device becomes large. In addition, since the front and rear dimensions of the pachinko machine are limited by the relationship with the ball replenishment facilities installed on the “island” where the pachinko machine is installed, the front and rear dimensions of the shutter device constituting the pachinko machine are also reduced. It is demanded.

(About lighting of the game board by the side light emitting effect device)
The left and right side light emitting effect devices 170 and 177 are disposed in front of the left and right upper and left and right side light emitting decoration devices 90, 105, 120, and 145, and the left and right side side light emitting effects are provided. The left and right transparent panels 171 and 178 in the devices 170 and 177 cover the front surfaces of the decorative plate portions 99, 115, 137, and 162 of the light emitting decoration devices 90, 105, 120, and 145, respectively. Here, in a state where the LEDs 197 of the left and right illumination means 172 and 179 in the right and left side light emitting effect devices 170 and 177 are not emitting light, the symbols formed on the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178 are the transparent It is hardly visible from the front side through the plate 31, and the decorative plate portions 99, 115, 137, 162 of the light emitting decoration devices 90, 105, 120, 145 on the left and right upper parts and the left and right side parts through the transparent panels 171, 178. Can be viewed from the front side.

  When the LEDs 197 of the left and right illumination means 172 and 179 emit light under the control of the control device 700, the light from the LED 197 is transmitted to the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178 corresponding to the illumination means 172 and 179, respectively. Irradiated toward the side end face, is introduced into the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178 from the side turning surface, and the light is reflected by the pattern drawn on the transparent panels 171 and 178, so that the pattern is displayed to be raised. And visible from the front side. That is, since the player is displayed with unexpected symbols on the front side of the light emitting decoration devices 90, 105, 120, and 145 on the left and right upper and left and right sides, an unexpected light emission effect can be performed. Yes, it can improve interest. That is, according to whether the LEDs 197 of the left and right illumination means 172 and 179 are turned on and off, the symbols formed on the left and right shielding members 173 and 180 are changed to the light emitting decoration devices 90 and 105 on the left and right upper and left and right sides. , 120, 145 can be displayed over the symbols displayed on the decorative covers 93, 108, 127, 152, so that a variety of game effects can be achieved, and the interest of the game is improved. The symbols of the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178 are visible from the front side only when the light from the LEDs 197 of the left and right illumination means 172 and 179 is introduced from the corresponding end surfaces of the panels 171 and 178. In the state where light is not introduced from the end face, the symbols provided on the left and right shielding members 173, 180 are displayed on the decorative covers 93, 108, 127, 152 of the respective light emitting decoration devices 90, 105, 120, 145. It does not hinder the visibility of the design.

  In particular, in the embodiment, each of the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178 is separated from the back surface of the transparent plate 31 by the thickness of the fixed walls 187 and 191 in the left and right illumination means 172 and 179. 171 and 178 are located close to the position where they almost come into contact with the back surface of the transparent plate 31, and the light emitting decoration devices 90, 105, 120, and 145 provided with minute uneven patterns on the back side of the transparent panels 171 and 178 are provided. Since the decorative plate portions 99, 115, 137, and 162 are positioned, the symbols formed on the transparent panels 171 and 178 are viewed from the front side when the LEDs 197 of the left and right illumination units 172 and 179 are not emitting light. It becomes almost invisible, and the unexpectedness when the symbols are displayed on the transparent panels 171 and 178 can be enhanced, and the entertainment of the game can be further improved. Further, the matching position when the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178 are combined is a position where the decorative plate portion 99 of the upper left light emitting decoration device 90 and the decorative plate portion 115 of the upper right light emitting decoration device 105 are aligned. By configuring the positions so as to match the front and rear, it is difficult to determine the matching portions of the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178, and the appearance of the game board 30 is not impaired.

  In addition, the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178 in the embodiment cover the entire front opening of the box-shaped main body 51 in the back unit 50 in a state where both the panels 171 and 178 are combined, and The left and right transparent panels 171 and 178 are positioned in the entire region that is visible from the front side through the transparent plate 31 so as to define an opening region that is substantially aligned with the through hole 30a. Regardless of the position on the game board 30 where the player's attention is directed, the design in which the design suddenly emerges is not overlooked.

  The left transparent panel 171 is covered with upper and lower peripheral wall surfaces 53a and 53b of the back unit 50 (box-shaped main body 51) and at the left of the back unit 50 (box-shaped main body 51). The left peripheral end surface is covered by the drawing wall portion 53c, and the right lower end surface is covered by the left side surfaces of the first and second partition walls 76 and 77 formed in the back unit 50 (box-shaped main body 51). Furthermore, the end face of the transparent plate 31 on the side of the through hole 31a in the left transparent panel 171 is covered with the frame-shaped decorative body 200. Similarly, the right transparent panel 178 has upper and lower peripheral end surfaces covered by upper and lower image wall portions 53a and 53b of the back unit 50 (box-shaped main body 51), and the right side of the back unit 50 (box-shaped main body 51). The right peripheral end surface is covered with the drawing wall portion 53d, and the lower left end surface is covered with the right side surfaces of the first and second partition walls 76 and 77 formed in the back unit 50 (box-shaped main body 51). Furthermore, the frame-shaped decorative body 200 is covered and opposed to the end surface of the transparent plate 31 on the side of the through-hole 31a in the right transparent panel 178. Accordingly, the left and right upper and left and right side light emitting decoration devices 90, 105, 120, and 145, the central light emitting decoration device 167, and the upper light emitting effect device 302 are arranged around the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178. Direct or indirect light can be suitably prevented from being introduced from the outer peripheral end surfaces of the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178 to lift the design.

  The members and structures covering the outer peripheral end surfaces of the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178 that are not covered by the left and right shielding members 173 and 180 are both for shielding the outer peripheral end surfaces of the transparent panels 171 and 178. Since it is not a dedicated component and is a necessary component / configuration constituting the game board 30, the cost does not increase. The left and right illumination means 172 and 178 include shielding walls 189 and 193 that overlap the front side of the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178, and irradiate light to the end surfaces of the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178. Since the front side of the LED 197 is configured to be shielded, the light of the LED 197 can be prevented from being directly irradiated from the transparent plate 31 to the front side.

  The right illumination means 179 includes a second right panel LED substrate 184 that emits light toward a portion of the right transparent panel 178 that overlaps with the upper fixing portion 54 of the back unit 50. The LED 197 of the second right panel LED substrate 184 faces the inclined end surface of the right transparent panel 178. Accordingly, when the LED 197 of the second right panel LED substrate 184 emits light, the light introduced from the inclined end surface of the right transparent panel 178 is formed in a portion overlapping the upper fixing portion 54 in the panel 178. You can brighten the pattern. That is, even if it is the upper position (upper fixed portion 54) of the game board 30 where the front and rear dimensions cannot be ensured because it overlaps with the ball tank 26 provided in the middle frame 12, the symbols are displayed so as to be raised. This makes it possible to improve the overall decoration and performance of the game board 30.

  In addition, the frame-shaped decorative body 200 disposed in the through hole 31a of the transparent plate 31 has the upper outer peripheral wall 225 protruding rearward of the transparent plate 31 through the through holes 31a in the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178. It faces the side end face of the side. For this reason, when the LED 197 of the left panel LED board 174 in the left illumination means 172 emits light, the light transmitted to the right end surface of the left transparent panel 171 passes through the upper outer peripheral wall 225 of the frame-shaped decorative body 200. The light transmitted to the left end face of the right transparent panel 178 when the LED 197 of the first right panel LED board 182 in the right illumination means 179 emits light is emitted to the first inner peripheral wall 230. Since the first inner peripheral wall 230 is irradiated through the upper outer peripheral wall 225 of the frame-shaped decorative body 200 and the first inner peripheral wall 230 of the frame-shaped decorative body 200 is brightened, the decorative property of the frame-shaped decorative body 200 is improved. Improves the fun of gaming.

  In particular, the first inner peripheral wall 230 of the frame-shaped decorative body 200 defines a window 200a that the display surface 19a of the symbol display device 19 faces, so that the first frame-shaped decorative body 200 has a first view of the player. Since the inner peripheral wall 230 is easy to enter, the decorativeness can be effectively improved by brightening the first inner peripheral wall 230. In addition, when the first inner peripheral wall 230 of the frame-shaped decorative body 200 is brightened, the symbols formed on the left and right transparent panels 171 and 178 are displayed so as to be raised. Is further improved.

  Further, the light passage member 329 is fitted into the disk-shaped base member 328 from the front side, and the light passage member 329 is accommodated in the fitting accommodation portion 334. At this time, the outer peripheral surface of the circular wall portion 355 of the light passage member 329 substantially coincides with the inner peripheral surface of the storage wall portion 333, so that the light transmission member 329 is substantially aligned with the fitting storage portion 334. Is inserted. Further, the rear end edge of the circular wall portion 355 of the light passage member 329 abuts on the outer edge portion of the front light emitting LED substrate 341 housed in the fitting housing portion 334, and the front light emitting LED substrate 341 is the disc-shaped base member 328. And the light passage member 329. That is, the front light emitting LED board 341 is firmly held in the fitting housing portion 334, and the character LED 342 can be installed at an appropriate position. Further, the wall surface concave portions 355b of the light passage member 329 do not interfere with the light source holding portion 340 and the side light emitting LED substrate 343 when the light passage member 329 is housed in the fitting housing portion 334. Further, when the light passage member 329 is fitted into the fitting housing portion 334, the light guide wall 359 of each housing hole portion 357 faces the front side of the front light emitting LED board 341, and the housing hole portion 357 is for the corresponding character. The LED 342 is accommodated so as to be enclosed from the front side (see FIGS. 45 and 41).

  When the light passage member 329 is fitted into the fitting housing portion 334, the light source housing portion 356 houses the corresponding side light emitting LED substrate 343 from the front side, and the substrate 343 serves as the light source holding portion 340 and the light source housing portion. 356. Accordingly, the side-emitting LED substrate 343 is securely held in an appropriate arrangement posture, and the panel LED 344 provided on the substrate 343 is oriented in an appropriate direction. Further, each panel LED 344 faces the light passage hole 362 provided in the holding wall 360, and is directed to the housing recess 361 through the light passage hole 362 (see FIG. 41). That is, each panel LED 344 has its irradiation direction defined by the side light emitting LED substrate 343 sandwiched between the light source holding part 340 and the light source accommodating part 356, and the upper and lower panel LEDs 344 and 344 are opposed to each other. Then, light is irradiated in a cross shape.

  Next, the light reflecting sheet 363 is accommodated in the accommodating recess 361 of the light passage member 329, and the circular transparent panel 326 is fitted into the accommodating recess 361 from the front side of the sheet 363. The circular transparent panel 326 has an outer shape that matches the shape of the inner peripheral surface of the holding wall portion 360 that defines the housing recess 361, and the side end surface of the circular transparent panel 326 is substantially aligned with the inner peripheral surface of the holding wall portion 360.

The panel LED 344 faces the side end face of the circular transparent panel 326 through the light passage hole 362 with respect to the circular transparent panel 326 accommodated in the accommodating recess 361. Thereby, the light of panel LED 344 is reliably irradiated to the circular transparent panel 326. That is, since the light of each panel LED 344 is irradiated from the appropriate direction to the circular transparent panel 326 stably housed in the housing recess 361, the light is accurately reflected forward by the circular transparent panel 326. be able to. Moreover, since the light is simultaneously irradiated by the four panel LEDs 344, 344, 344, and 344 that are opposed to the top, bottom, left, and right, the circular transparent panel 326 is irradiated with light in a well-balanced manner, and a light circle pattern without shadows is formed. It can be reflected forward. As shown in FIG. 46, the front end surface of the circular transparent panel 326 accommodated in the accommodation recess 361 substantially coincides with the front end edge of the holding wall portion 360.

  Next, the production cover member 327 is assembled so as to cover the disc-shaped base member 328 from the front side. That is, each positioning fixing boss 366a provided on the rear surface of the outer edge decoration portion 366 is assembled rearward along the corresponding guide recess 338 of the disk-shaped base member 328, and the rear end of the fixing boss 366a is connected to the outer boss receiving portion. 337 is fitted. Then, the effect cover member 327 is attached to the disk-shaped base member 328 by screwing the positioning fixing boss 366 a to the outer boss receiving portion 337. Here, the outer boss receiving portions 337, 337, 337 are arranged in a non-regular triangle shape on the rear surface of the base substrate 332, and the positioning fixing bosses 366a, 366a, 366a of the outer edge decoration portion 366 are also outer boss receiving. Corresponding to the portions 337, 337, 337, they are arranged in a non-regular triangle shape. Therefore, the effect cover member 327 can always be installed in an appropriate manner with respect to the disc-shaped base member 328. Further, since the fixed boss 366a is screwed in a state where the side surface of each positioning fixed boss 366a of the outer edge decoration portion 366 faces the corresponding guide recess 338, the effect cover member 327 is securely attached to the disc-shaped base member 328. It is done. Since the positioning fixing boss 366a of the outer edge decoration portion 366 and the outer boss receiving portion 337 of the disc-shaped base member 328 are provided outside each member, the space between the effect cover member 327 and the disc-shaped base member 328 is effectively used. Can be used. Since the positioning fixing boss 366a is provided on the rear surface of the outer edge decoration portion 366, the fixing boss 366a is not visually recognized from the front side. Further, since the front side of the outer boss receiving portion 337 of the disk-shaped base member 328 is covered with the outer edge decoration portion 366, the boss receiving portion 337 is also difficult to be visually recognized from the front side.

  Here, when the effect cover member 327 is attached to the disk-shaped base member 328, as shown in FIG. 41, the rear end edge of the annular contact rib 367 contacts the front end edge of the housing wall 333, The cover member 327 is stably attached to the disk-shaped base member 328. In addition, when the production cover member 327 is assembled to the disk-shaped base member 328, each abutment presser of the production cover member 327 is placed on the front end surface of the circular transparent panel 326 and the front edge of the holding wall 360 that are aligned on the same surface. Since the portion 368 abuts from the front side, the circular transparent panel 326 is sandwiched between the effect cover member 327 and the light passage member 329 together with the light reflecting sheet 363 (see FIG. 46). Therefore, the transparent panel 326 can be securely held in the housing recess 361, and the transparent panel 326 can be prevented from rattling or misalignment. In addition, since the holding wall portion 360 of the light passage member 329 is pressed by the abutment pressing portion 368, the light passage member 329 is stably held in the fitting housing portion 334 of the disk-shaped base member 328.

  As described above, the upper light-emitting effect device 302 is configured to further fit and accommodate the circular transparent panel 326 in the housing recess 361 of the light passage member 329 fitted in the base member 328, so that each member is moved in the front-rear direction. The front and rear dimensions of the upper light emission effect device 302 can be reduced. Further, since the front light emitting LED board 341 and the circular transparent panel 326 are assembled without being screwed, the number of assembling steps can be reduced and the cost can be reduced, and no additional fixing member or the like is required. Further, since the receiving hole portion 357 of the light passing member 329 is configured by the light passing hole 358 and the light guide wall 359, the light passing member is compared with the case where the holding hole portion 357 is formed by making the holding substrate 345 thick. 329 can be reduced in weight.

  Here, a connector insertion portion 302d of the relay wire 302c is connected to the first relay wire connector receiving portion 341c and the second relay wire connector receiving portion 343a protruding from the rear surface of the base substrate 332, and The relay wire 302c is wound around the base fixing bosses 335, 335, and 335 of the base substrate 332 and collected. Similarly, the connector insertion portion 302b of the connecting wire 302a is connected to the connecting wire connector receiving portion 341d facing the back of the base substrate 332, and the connecting wire 302a is wound around the base fixing boss 335 at the center lower portion and gathered. .

A wiring space 336 is defined between the wirings 321 and 321. The relay space 302c and the connecting wire 302a wound around the base fixing bosses 335, 335, 335 can be accommodated in the wiring space 336. Therefore, when the upper light emitting effect device 302 is fixed to the mounting base 301, the relay line 302c and the connecting line 302a do not get in the way and the installation work becomes efficient. Moreover, since the relay line 302c and the connecting line 302a are held in a state of being wound around the base fixing bosses 335, 335, and 335, the wirings 302c and 302a are frayed and exposed from the side of the upper light emitting effect device 302. And it can prevent that the presentation unit 201 looks bad.

  Since the installation surface 321 of the effect device fixing portion 320 is inclined, the upper light emitting effect device 302 (disc-shaped base member 328) attached to the effect device fixing portion 320 is oriented obliquely downward. Mounted on. That is, the rear surface of the disk-shaped base member 328 is inclined backward. Further, the base fixing bosses 335, 335, 335 are disposed so as to be biased to the upper side of the rear surface of the disk-shaped base member 328, and the effect device fixing portion 320 has an attachment base 301 (an intermediate cover body 319). It is biased and provided on the lower side. Therefore, when the upper light-emitting effect device 302 is attached to the effect device fixing portion 320, the lower side of the disc-shaped base member 328 protrudes downward from the attachment base 301. Accordingly, the upper light emitting effect device 302 is in a state in which the substantially lower half of the rear surface of the base substrate 332 faces the rear of the mounting base 301 (see FIGS. 38 and 41), and the connecting line 302a can be easily moved to the rear of the mounting base 301. Can be pulled out. Then, the connecting wire 302 a drawn out to the rear of the mounting base 301 is connected from below to the large connector receiving portion 313 of the effect unit relay board 311 provided on the rear surface of the mounting base 301. That is, since the connecting line 302a is routed behind the upper light emitting effect device 302, the connecting light line 302a cannot be viewed from the front side, and the appearance of the upper light emitting effect device 302 can be improved.

  Next, the movable effect devices 303 and 303 are attached to the left and right case body attachment recesses 307 and 307 of the attachment base 301, and the effect unit 201 is completed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 36, the movable effect device 303 attached to the attachment base 301 is in a state where the rear portion of the box-shaped case body 370 protrudes rearward from the attachment base 301.

(About the lighting effect of the upper lighting effect device)
Next, the light emission effect of the upper light emission effect device 302 will be described. First, when each panel LED 344 emits light by the control device 700, the light of each panel LED 344 is irradiated to the side end surface of the circular transparent panel 326 from four directions through the light passage hole 362. Then, the light incident from the side end surface of the circular transparent panel 326 is reflected by minute unevenness provided on the rear surface of the panel 326, and a light circle (design) as a whole is irradiated forward. Further, a part of the light of the panel LED 344 (light transmitted through the circular transparent panel 326 or light reflected backward by the panel 326) is reflected by the light reflecting sheet 363, and a light circle of light irradiates forward. Is done. This light circle is transmitted through the cover front surface 365 of the effect cover member 327, so that a light circle of light is projected on the cover front surface 365 as shown in FIG. Is done.

  On the other hand, when the controller 700 causes the character LEDs 342 to emit light all at once, the light of the LEDs 342 is irradiated forward. At this time, the housing hole 357 is configured so that the opening front end edge 358a of the light passage hole 358 is positioned in front of the character LED 342, and the character LED 342 is surrounded from the front side by the housing hole 357 (light guide wall 359). Contained. Therefore, the light of the character LED 342 is guided by the light guide wall 359 of the accommodation hole 357, and the light of the character LED 342 passes through the light guide wall 359, so that the light of the accommodation hole 357 (the light passage hole 358). The light has a shape along the contour of the opening (that is, the letter “heaven”). Thereby, it is possible to project the light “heaven” characters on the cover front surface 365 of the effect cover member 327 so as to emerge. In addition, by accommodating the character LED 342 in the accommodation hole portion 357, it is possible to prevent other light from entering the accommodation hole portion 357, and to project clear light characters on the cover front surface 365. Moreover, since the receiving holes 357 are provided corresponding to each stroke of the character “heaven”, even a complicated pattern such as a character “heaven” in a plurality of images is clearly projected on the front surface 365 of the cover. Can be made. Furthermore, since the character LED 342 is not provided at the intersecting portion of the accommodation hole portion 357, the intersecting portion of the “heaven” character is not projected gently, and the character of “heaven” is drawn one by one. It can be projected clearly. Furthermore, since the inner side surface of the accommodation hole 357 (light guide wall 359) is subjected to light reflection processing, the light passing through the accommodation hole 357 is not attenuated, and the ceiling surface 365 is "Can be projected clearly.

  In addition, when the control device 700 performs light emission control for each character LED 342 housed in each housing hole portion 357, it is possible to project “heaven” characters on the cover front surface 365 for each stroke. Therefore, for example, it is possible to produce an exciting light emission effect in which the characters “heaven” are projected one by one along the writing order. Also in this case, since the accommodation hole portion 357 accommodates the character LED 342 from the front side, the accommodation hole portion 357 that accommodates the character LED 342 that does not emit light is accommodated in the other accommodation hole portion 357 and emits light. Intrusion of the light from the character LED 342 is suppressed. Furthermore, if the panel LED 344 and the character LED 342 are caused to emit light at the same time, as shown in FIG. 45, the character of “heaven” can be projected in a light circle of light projected on the front surface 365 of the cover. A rich lighting effect is possible.

  As described above, according to the upper light emission effect device 302 according to the embodiment, various patterns (light light circle and “heaven” character) can be projected on the cover front surface 365, and an interesting light emission effect is performed. obtain. In addition, since the circular transparent panel 326 of the embodiment is configured to reflect light by the panel 326 by the unevenness provided on the entire rear surface, the circular light that is the shape of the panel 326 can be reflected. In addition, by forming the effect cover member 327 with a half mirror, the interior covered with the cover member 327 can be made invisible, and the aesthetics of the upper light emission effect device 302 can be improved. In addition, since the cover front surface 365 is matted, it is difficult for the player's face and the like to be reflected on the front surface 365, and the player can concentrate on the game. Further, the design projected on the cover front surface 365 by the mat becomes clear, and a clear design can be displayed by light emission.

(About opening and closing the shutter member)
As shown in FIGS. 50 and 51, the shutter device 500 disposed in the back unit 50 shields the entire display space 501 with the left and right shutter members 532 and 533 both facing the shielding position. It shall be. In the shutter device 500, the left and right drive motors 561 and 563 are rotated in the forward and reverse directions in accordance with the symbol variation game executed on the display surface 19a of the symbol display device 19, and a required operation effect is performed. That is, when the left and right drive motors 561 and 563 rotate the corresponding left and right operation members 560 and 562 so as to swing in the opening direction, the left operation is performed under the meshing action of each of the drive gears 576 and the corresponding driven gear 565. The member 560 swings leftward with the pivot 564 as a fulcrum, and the right actuating member 562 swings rightward with the pivot 564 as a fulcrum. The corresponding left and right shutter members 532 and 533 are moved toward the open position by the swinging of the left and right actuating members 560 and 562. As described above, since the left and right shutter members 532 and 533 are bilaterally symmetric, the operation of the left shutter member 532 and the left operating means 558 for operating the left shutter member 532 will be mainly described. The operation of the shutter member 533 and the right operation means 559 for operating the right shutter member 533 will be described together.

  That is, as the left actuating member 560 swings to the left, the rear left shielding plate 536 connected to the left actuating member 560 moves to the left along the rear upper and lower rail grooves 515 and 524. As a result, the central portion of the display space 501 in the left-right direction is opened. When the lower front closing engagement piece 542 in the rear left shielding plate 536 is engaged with the lower back opening engagement piece 545 in the middle left shielding plate 535 from the right side, the state overlaps with the front side of the rear left shielding plate 536. The middle left shielding plate 535 is moved to the left along the middle upper and lower rail grooves 514 and 523, and the open area of the display space 501 is expanded. Further, the lower front closing engagement piece 542 of the middle left shielding plate 535 moving in a state of being overlapped in front of the rear left shielding plate 536 is engaged with the lower back opening engagement piece 545 of the front left shielding plate 534 from the right side. Then, the front left shielding plate 534 in a state of overlapping the front side of the middle left shielding plate 535 is moved to the left along the front upper and lower rail grooves 513 and 522, and the open area of the display space 501 is further expanded.

  When the detection piece 546 of the rear left shielding plate 536 is detected by the corresponding left detection means 547, the left drive motor 561 is stopped and the three left shielding plates 534, 535, 536 of the left shutter member 532 are stopped. Are stopped at the open position stored in the storage space of the left shutter storage member 507 in a state of overlapping in the front-rear direction (see FIGS. 52 and 66). The left shielding plates 534, 535, 536 moved to the storage space of the left shutter storage member 507 are supported by being in contact with the buffer members 531 provided on the side plate 526 of the left shutter storage member 507. The shock when 534, 535, 536 moves to the open position is absorbed and relaxed by the buffer member 531, and it is possible to prevent problems such as damage. Further, in a state where the three left shielding plates 534, 535, 536 face the open position, the left shielding plates 534, 535, 536 are placed on the right from the left edge (the edge on the display space 501 side) of the left shutter housing member 507. And the entire left half of the display space 501 is open (see FIG. 52). Even when the three right shielding plates 537, 538, and 539 of the right shutter member 533 face the open position, the right shielding plates 537, 538, and 539 are connected to the right edge (the display space 501 side) of the right shutter housing member 508. The entire right half of the display space 501 is open. That is, when both the left and right shutter members 532 and 533 are in the open position, the display space 501 defined in the base frame 502 is totally opened as shown in FIG. Further, as described above, since the display space 501 is set to a size and shape that substantially match the opening 52a of the back unit 50, when the left and right shutter members 532 and 533 are moved to the open position, the back unit 50, the display surface 19a of the symbol display device 19 facing the back side of the opening 52a can be opened as a whole, and the left and right shutter members 532 and 533 do not interfere with the effect performed on the display surface 19a. .

  When the left actuating member 560 linked to the rear left shielding plate 536 facing the open position swings to the right with the pivot 564 as a fulcrum by the rotation of the left drive motor 561, the rear left shielding plate 536 Moves to the right from the storage space of the left shutter storage member 507 along the rear upper and lower rail grooves 515 and 524, and the display space 501 is gradually shielded from the left side. Thereafter, when the upper and lower front closing engagement pieces 541 and 542 in the left shielding plate 536 are engaged with the upper and lower rear closing engagement pieces 543 and 544 in the middle left shielding plate 535 in the open position from the left side, the rear left shielding plate. With the movement of 536, the middle left shielding plate 535 also moves to the right along the upper and lower rail grooves 514 and 523 in a state of being connected to the left side of the left shielding plate 536, and the display space 501 is in the middle left shielding. The plate 535 is gradually shielded. Further, when the upper and lower front closing engagement pieces 541 and 542 in the middle left shielding plate 535 engage with the upper and lower rear closing engagement pieces 543 and 544 in the front left shielding plate 534 from the left side, the middle left shielding plate 535 With the movement, the front left shielding plate 534 moves to the right along the upper and lower rail grooves 513 and 522 while being connected to the left side of the middle left shielding plate 535, and the display space 501 is the front left shielding plate. It is gradually shielded at 534.

  The left drive motor 561 stops when it rotates by a preset rotation angle with the position where the detection piece 546 is detected by the detection means 547 as the origin, and at this time, the rear left shielding plate 536 of the left shutter member 532 is stopped. The right end edge of the display space 501 arrives at the center of the display space 501 in the left-right direction, and the left half of the display space 501 is shielded. Similarly, the right drive motor 563 stops when it rotates by a preset rotation angle with the position where the detection means 547 has detected the detection piece 546 as the origin, and at this time, the right shutter member 533 has a rear right The left edge of the shielding plate 539 arrives at the center of the display space 501 in the left-right direction, and the right half of the display space 501 is shielded. Then, when the opposing side edges of the rear left and right shielding plates 536 and 539 and the abutting surfaces 552 and 555 come into contact with each other at the center in the left and right direction of the display space 501, the rear left and right shielding plates 536 and 539 are provided. Further, the permanent magnets 553 and 556 are magnetized, whereby the side edge and the contact surfaces 552 and 555 are held in contact (see FIG. 51). It should be noted that the rotation angle set to move the rear left and right shielding plates 536 and 539 toward the shielding position in the left and right drive motors 561 and 563 ensures that the side edges of the left and right shielding plates 536 and 539 are in contact with each other. Each side edge is set so as to move slightly from the center in the left-right direction to the other region so as to be in contact with each other. Further, the force of the drive motors 561 and 563 for moving the left and right shielding plates 536 and 539 toward the other region while the side edges of the left and right shielding plates 536 and 539 are in contact with each other in the center in the left and right direction 539 and the left and right actuating members 560 and 562 are configured so as not to be overloaded by a clearance or the like set at a connecting portion.

  At the shielding position of the left shutter member 532, as described above, the three left shielding plates 534, 535, 536 are connected to each other in the left-right direction with no gap therebetween, and the left end portion of the front left shielding plate 534 is the left shutter. There is no gap between the storage member 507 and the rear side. Similarly, at the shielding position of the right shutter member 533, the three right shielding plates 537, 538, and 539 are connected in the left-right direction with no gap therebetween, and the right end of the front right shielding plate 537 is housed in the right shutter. A gap is not formed on the rear side of the member 508. Accordingly, the display space 501 is entirely shielded at the shielding positions of the left and right shutter members 532 and 533, and entirely covers the display surface 19a of the symbol display device 19 facing the back side of the opening 52a in the back unit 50. Can do.

  The lower wall of the upper arc-shaped decorative body 586 and the upper wall 589 of the lower arc-shaped decorative body 588 disposed on the base frame 502 are arranged in front of each other when the left and right shutter members 532 and 533 are positioned at the shielding positions. It is formed in a staircase shape corresponding to the staircase shape formed on the front side of each of the rear shielding plates 534, 535, 536, 537, 538, and 539. Therefore, when the left and right shutter members 532 and 533 are positioned at the shielding position, the lower rail member 506 and the lower rail member 506 are positioned on the front side of the left and right shielding plates 534, 535, 536, 537, 538, and 539. The upper surface of the guide part 519 is almost covered with the upper and lower arc-shaped decorative bodies 586 and 588 and cannot be seen directly. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a decrease in appearance when the display space 501 is shielded by the left and right shutter members 532 and 533.

(About magnets)
As described above, in the shutter device 500 according to the embodiment, the rear left shielding plate 536 of the left shutter member 532 and the rear right shielding plate 539 of the right shutter member 533 are opened by driving the left and right drive motors 561 and 563. The permanent magnets 553 and 556 provided on the rear left and right shielding plates 536 and 539 are magnetically attached when the side edges and the contact surfaces 552 and 555 come into contact with each other. The side edge and the contact surfaces 552 and 555 are held in contact. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the rear left and right shielding plates 536 and 539 from being separated by the repulsive force generated when the rear left shielding plate 536 and the rear right shielding plate 539 come into contact with each other when the left and right driving motors 561 and 563 are driven. That is, it is possible to prevent an unnatural gap between the rear left shielding plate 536 and the rear right shielding plate 539, and the decoration applied to the six shielding plates 534, 535, 536, 537, 538, 539. One picture constituted by can be displayed neatly. Further, since no gap is generated at the center in the left-right direction in the display space 501 at the shielding positions of the left and right shutter members 532 and 533, an unintended effect is generated from the gap in relation to the effect on the display surface 19a of the symbol display device 19. The visual effect does not cause a decrease in production.

  In the embodiment, the transparent synthetic resin shielding plates 534, 535, 536, 537, 538, and 539 that shield the display space 501 with the left and right shutter members 532 and 533 facing the shielding position. Is not decorated, and a symbol combination game played on the display surface 19a of the symbol display device 19 can be visually recognized from the player side through a portion that is not decorated. That is, even when the display space 501 is shielded by the left and right shutter members 532 and 533, the effect performed on the display surface 19a of the symbol display device 19 can be enjoyed. On the other hand, in the rear left shielding plate 536 and the rear right shielding plate 539, since the front surfaces corresponding to the permanent magnets 553 and 556 and the fixing members 554 and 557 are decorated, the permanent is not directly related to the game effect. The magnets 553 and 556 and the fixing members 554 and 557 are not visually recognized from the player side, and the design of the shutter device 500 can be prevented from being deteriorated.

(Detection piece)
The detection piece 546 of the rear left shielding plate 536 detected by the left detection means 547 is provided so as to extend to the left at the lower part of the left edge of the rear left shielding plate 536 as shown in FIG. The detection piece 546 faces the back side of the portion where the decoration of the middle left shielding plate 535 adjacent to the left side is provided at the shielding position. In other words, the detection piece 546 provided on the rear left shielding plate 536 is always hidden by the middle left shielding plate 535 located on the front side while the rear left shielding plate 536 moves between the shielding position and the open position. Therefore, the detection piece 546 that is not directly related to the game effect is not visually recognized from the player side, and not only the design property at the shielding position of the left shutter member 532 but also when the left shutter member 532 is operated. There is no decline in designability. Since the detection piece 546 of the right shutter member 533 is also symmetrical with the detection piece 546 of the left shutter member 532, the detection piece 546 provided on the rear right shielding plate 539 has the rear right shielding plate 539. While moving between the shielded position and the open position, the right shutter member is always hidden from the middle right shielding plate 538 located on the front side and the detection piece 546 not directly related to the game effect is not visually recognized from the player side. Not only the design property at the shielding position of 533 but also the design property when the right shutter member 533 is operated does not deteriorate.

(Operating means)
In the shutter device 500, the left actuating member 560 that is swung by the drive of the left drive motor 561 is connected to the middle of the rear left shielding plate 536 in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. The load applied to the left drive motor 561 when the other two left shielding plates 534 and 535 are moved via the plate 536 can be reduced. That is, even when a large left shielding plate is used to open and close the large display space 501 with the increase in the size of the symbol display device 19, the left shielding plate 534, 535, 536 is used as the left drive motor 561 with a small output. It is possible to move the symbol display device 19 at a low cost. Further, since the upper and lower ends of the left shielding plates 534, 535, 536 are guided by the upper and lower rail grooves 513, 522, 514, 523, 515, 524, the left shielding plates 534, 535, 536 can be moved stably. And the left shutter member 532 can be opened and closed smoothly. Furthermore, since the roll bearings 540 are disposed at the four corners of each of the left shielding plates 534, 535, 536, the contact resistance between the left shielding plates 534, 535, 536 and the upper and lower rail members 505, 506 is reduced. The load applied to the left drive motor 561 can be further reduced, and the smooth movement of the left shielding plates 534, 535, and 536 can be achieved.

  As shown in FIG. 62, the left actuating member 560 that moves the left shutter member 532 is parallel to the rear left shielding plate 536 that faces between the connecting portion with the rear left shielding plate 536 and the pivot portion by the pivot 564. Since the connecting arm portion 566 is supported while being sandwiched between the front and rear guide members 577 and 578 provided on the lower rail member 506, the left operating member 560 can be stably swung, Smoother opening and closing of the shutter member 532 can be achieved. In addition, the left actuating member 560 is slidably in contact with the front flange 572 provided on the rear left shielding plate 536 only at the projecting portion 570 projecting from the left actuating member 560 at the connecting portion with the rear left shielding plate 536. The guide members 577 and 578 are configured such that the ribs 579 and 582 are in sliding contact with the flat surface, so that the contact area between the left operating member 560 and the rear left shielding plate 536 is small, and the frictional resistance of the both 560 and 536 is kept small. Thus, it is possible to contribute to the smooth movement of the left shielding plates 534, 535, 536 and to further reduce the load applied to the left drive motor 561. The rear end of the front rib 579 of the front guide member 577 that supports the front surface of the left operating member 560 extends slightly rearward from the back surface of the guide portion 519 in the lower rail member 506. Is prevented from increasing in resistance due to contact with the guide portion 519.

  As shown in FIG. 51, the left actuating member 560 is located behind the rear left shielding plate 536 and the middle left shielding plate 535 at the shielding position of the left shutter member 532, and is located on the left side of both left shielding plates 536 and 535. The portion facing the front side of the actuating member 560 is decorated, and the left actuating member 560 is configured not to be visually recognized from the player side, so that the design at the shielding position of the left shutter member 532 is reduced. Absent. Further, as shown in FIG. 52, the left actuating member 560 is located at the rear side of the rear left shielding plate 536 in the open position of the left shutter member 532 and the portion facing the front side of the left actuating member 560 in the rear shielding plate 536. Is decorated so that the left actuating member 560 is not visible from the player side, so that the design at the open position of the left shutter member 532 is not deteriorated. Furthermore, since the left actuating member 560 is formed in a shape that is always hidden behind the left shielding plates 534, 535, 536 even while the left shutter member 532 is moved between the shielding position and the open position, When the left shutter member 532 is actuated, the left actuating member 560 is prevented from being exposed to the player side to deteriorate the appearance. That is, since the left operating member 560 is always hidden behind the left shutter member 532, it is not necessary to provide various decorations for improving the appearance of the left operating member 560 for moving the left shutter member 532. Further, the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the design property is not lowered. Note that the right actuating member 562 that moves the right shutter member 533 is also always the same as the right actuating member 560, regardless of whether the right shutter member 533 is moved in the shielding position, the open position, or both positions. , 538, 539 so that the right actuating member 562 is not exposed to the player side and the appearance is not deteriorated.

(About transparent protective plate)
The transparent protective plate 609 inserts a plurality of the positioning protrusions 610 provided at both left and right end portions into the corresponding insertion holes 528c formed in the left and right shutter housing members 507 and 508, respectively. The protection plate 609 is temporarily positioned with both left and right end portions in contact with the front surfaces of the step surfaces 528a and 528a of the step portions 528 and 528 (see FIGS. 64, 65, and 66). In this state, the screws inserted into the through holes 610a facing the positions facing the back side of the front plate of the shutter housing members 507 and 508 in the positioning protrusions 610 are screwed into the screw holes of the protective plate boss 529, thereby transparent. The protection plate 609 is fixed between the shutter storage members 507 and 508. That is, the transparent protective plate 609 that faces between the through-hole 31a of the transparent plate 31 and the left and right shutter members 532 and 533 and protects the left and right shutter members 532 and 533 from the pachinko ball is a base that constitutes the shutter device 500. Since it is disposed in the frame body 502, it is not necessary to form means for positioning and fixing the transparent protective plate 609 on the transparent plate 31, and the configuration of the transparent plate 31 can be simplified. Further, since the transparent protective plate 609 does not need to have a complicated shape that does not interfere with various parts, the structure is simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  The transparent protective plate 609 is disposed in contact with the step surfaces 528a and 528a that are one step lower than the front surfaces of the left and right shutter storage members 507 and 508, and is disposed in front of the left and right shutter storage members 507 and 508. It does not protrude forward from the front surface of the plates 525, 525. Therefore, when the transparent plate 31 is disposed on the back unit 50, the frame-shaped decorative body 200 disposed on the transparent plate 31 and facing the front side of the shutter member 503 causes interference with the transparent protective plate 609. It is not necessary to perform a process for avoiding the manufacturing cost, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, in order to prevent interference between the frame-shaped decorative body 200 and the transparent protective plate 609, it is not necessary to separate the transparent plate 31 and the shutter device 500, and an increase in the longitudinal dimension of the game board 30 can be suppressed. .

  In addition, in the embodiment, the shutter member 503 that shields and opens the display space 501 of the shutter device 500 includes the three left shielding plates 534, 535, and 536, and the left shutter that shields and opens the left half of the display space 501. Since each of the shutter members 532 and 533 is composed of a member 532 and a right shutter member 533 that is composed of three right shielding plates 537, 538, and 539 and shields and opens the right half of the display space 501. The front-rear dimension when the left shielding plates 534, 535, 536 and the three right shielding plates 537, 538, 539 are stacked in the front-rear direction can be reduced. That is, the front and rear dimensions of the storage space of the left shutter storage member 507 in which the three left shielding plates 534, 535, and 536 that are overlapped in the front-rear direction are stored in the open position, and the three that are overlapped in the front-rear direction The front and rear dimensions of the storage space of the right shutter storage member 508 in which the right shielding plates 537, 538, and 539 are stored in the open position can be reduced. Therefore, even if the step portions 528 and 528 for preventing the transparent protective plate 609 from projecting forward are formed on the left and right shutter housing members 507 and 508, the front and rear dimensions of the shutter housing members 507 and 508 can be kept small. It becomes.

  Further, the first inner peripheral wall 230 constituting the left and right side rear end portions of the frame-shaped decorative body 200 in a state where the transparent plate 31 is disposed with respect to the back unit 50 on which the shutter device 500 is disposed. The ball passage portion 274 is housed in the step portions 528 and 528 of the left and right shutter housing members 507 and 508. That is, by using the step portions 528 and 528 for preventing the transparent protective plate 609 from projecting forward, the first inner peripheral wall 230 and the ball passage portion 274 projecting from the back surface of the transparent plate 31 are accommodated, whereby the shutter accommodating member. 507, 508 (base frame 502) itself does not need to be retracted so as not to interfere with the first inner peripheral wall 230 and the ball passage portion 274, and shutter storage members 507, 508 (base frame body) located on the back side of the transparent plate 31 are not required. The rearward projecting dimension of 502) can be suppressed. Further, in the embodiment, the left and right end portions of the transparent protective plate 609 in contact with the step surfaces 528a and 528a of the left and right shutter housing members 507 and 508 have shapes corresponding to the first inner peripheral wall 230 and the ball passage portion 274. Since the notch recesses 611 and 611 are formed (see FIG. 49), the first inner peripheral wall 230 and the ball passage portion 274 can face the rear side without interfering with the transparent protective plate 609. Moreover, since the step portions 528 and 528 of the left and right shutter housing members 507 and 508 function to attach the transparent protective plate 609, the first inner peripheral wall 230 and the ball passage portion 274 of the frame-shaped decorative body 200 are arranged. It is not necessary to separately form a portion to be accommodated, and manufacturing costs can be suppressed.

  The first inner peripheral wall 230 and the ball passage portion 274 housed in the step portions 528 and 528 of the left and right shutter housing members 507 and 508 are subjected to a light diffusion process, so that the side walls of the step portions 528 are provided. 528b is difficult to see through the frame-shaped decorative body 200, and it is prevented that the designability is deteriorated.

(Relationship between upper lighting effect device and shutter device)
The lower part of the upper light-emitting effect device 302 that hangs down from the upper inner edge that defines the window 200a in the frame-shaped decorative body 200 is formed through the notch 587 formed in the upper arc-shaped decorative body 586 in the shutter device 500. It extends into the display space 501. That is, since the left and right shutter members 532 and 533 that shield and open the display space 501 overlap with the upper light emitting effect device 302 in the front-rear relationship (see FIG. 61), the effects of the operation of the shutter members 532 and 533 The effect by the light emission of the upper light emitting effect device 302 can be performed in a state of being overlapped in the front and back, and the overall effect of the effect can be improved. In addition, since the upper light emitting effect device 302 is not movable, the processing of the wiring for controlling the LEDs 342 and 344 and supplying power is simple, and the effect can be enhanced without complicating the structure.

  In addition, as described above, a part of the upper light emitting effect device 302 faces the notch 587 of the upper arc-shaped decorative body 586, and therefore the left and right shutter members 532 and 533 and the upper light emission effect device 302 are arranged in the front and back. The front-rear dimensions required for installation can be reduced, which can contribute to the thinning of the game board 30 (pachinko machine 10).
