  Light sources 122 </ b> A, 122 </ b> B, and 122 </ b> C such as LEDs whose light emission is controlled by a control unit (not shown) are provided above and below the flat portion 123.

  The light source 122A is arranged so as to emit a light beam upward, the light source 122B is arranged obliquely upward, and the light source 122C is arranged so as to emit a light beam downward.

  The light sources 122A, 122B, and 122C are provided so as to be able to emit light beams of a plurality of colors (for example, blue, yellow, and red), and a playable state in which the inner frame 14 or the glass frame 22 is closed (blue, Yellow) and light emission of different colors are performed in an unplayable state (red) in which the inner frame 14 is opened.

  An acrylic light guide plate 116 is provided on the front surface of the flat portion 123.

  The light guide plate 116 has an upper end surface 121, a lower end surface 117, an arc-shaped curved surface 118, an oblique end surface 119, and a side end surface 127 formed on the outer periphery, and an insertion hole 126 through which a screw 124 is inserted. ing.

  The curved surface 118 is textured, and fine irregularities (see FIG. 8C) are formed on the surface. Further, the side end face 127 is mirror-finished to form a reflecting surface.

  The light guide plate 116 is fixed to the base frame 101 by aligning the insertion holes 126 of the light guide plate 116 and the holes 125 of the flat portion 123 and fastening them together with screws 124.

  The lower end surface 117, the oblique end surface 119, and the upper end surface 121 of the light guide plate 116 are disposed at positions facing the light sources 122A, 122B, and 122C, respectively, and the light beams emitted from the light sources 122A, 122B, and 122C are provided. The lower end surface 117, the oblique end surface 119, and the upper end surface 121 are incident respectively.

  Here, reflective dots (not shown) are formed on the light guide plate 116 by a screen printing method or an injection method. The screen printing method is a method of applying reflective dots by screen printing, and the injection method is a method of integrally forming the acrylic main body and the reflective dots with the reflective dots processed into a mold during acrylic injection molding.

  The reflective dots of the light guide plate 116 are formed so as to reflect the light beam incident on the lower end surface 117, the oblique end surface 119, and the upper end surface 121 to be emitted from the curved surface 118.

  On the other hand, the light source 114 is configured by the light sources 122A, 122B, and 122C and the light guide plate 116, and the window frame portion 24 is configured by the curved surface 118 and the side surface 120.

  FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A ′ in FIG. 5.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the curved surface 118 and the side surface 120 are adjacent to each other, and the glass plates 26 and 27 are arranged on the right side of the side surface 120 (the back side when viewed from the front).

  The glass plate 26 and the glass plate 27 form a gap 29 that is separated by a predetermined distance.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 8a, light sources 122A, 122B, and 122C (see FIG. 6) are driven by control means (not shown), and a blue or yellow light beam L is emitted.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 8b, the light beam L emitted from the light source 122A enters the light guide plate 116 from the lower end surface 117 while spreading at the directivity angle, and travels through the light guide plate 116.

  Here, the progression of the light beam L in the light guide plate 116 will be described.

  The incident angle of the light beam L at the lower end face 117 is θ1, the refraction angle is θ2, the incident angle of the light beam L at the interface between the light guide plate 116 and external air is θ3, and the reflection angle is θ4. The light guide plate 116 is made of acrylic and has a refractive index n1 = 1.49, and the air existing outside the light guide plate 116 has a refractive index n2 = 1.

  When a relational expression based on Snell's law is obtained at the lower end face 117, (sin θ1) / (sin θ2) = 1.49 / 1.

  Further, when a relational expression based on Snell's law is obtained at the interface between the light guide plate 116 and the external air, (sin θ3) / (sin θ4) = 1 / 1.49.

  If there is a light beam L incident from the direction along the surface of the lower end face 117, θ1 is 90 °. If the critical angle (maximum value) of θ2 is calculated using the relational expression, θ2 = 42.2 °. Accordingly, θ2 is always a value of 42.2 ° or less. Since θ3 = 90 ° −θ2, θ3 is always 47.8 ° or more.

  On the other hand, when the condition of total reflection of the light beam L at the interface between the light guide plate 116 and the outside air (critical angle θ3 when θ4 = 90 °) is obtained by the above relational expression, the critical angle of the incident angle θ3 is θ3. = 42.2 °. Thereby, if θ3 is larger than 42.2 °, the light beam L is totally reflected.

  Here, as described above, since θ3 is always 47.8 ° or more, the light beam L incident from the light source 122A has a loss of several percent due to the surface reflection of the lower end face 117, and the inside of the light guide plate 116. Will always proceed with total reflection.

  In this way, the light beam L that travels while being totally reflected inside the light guide plate 116 is reflected by the aforementioned side end face 127 or the reflective dots and reaches the curved surface 118. At this time, since the incident angle of the light beam L on the curved surface 118 is smaller than the critical angle of 42.2 °, the light beam L is emitted from the curved surface 118 to the outside (in the air) without being totally reflected. Is done.

  Although the light source 122A has been described, the same applies to the light beam L emitted from the light sources 122B and 122C. The light beam L travels through the light guide plate 116 while being totally reflected, reflected by the reflective dots, and emitted from the curved surface 118. The

  As shown in FIG. 8 c, the light beam L emitted from the curved surface 118 is further diffused in the emission direction due to the textured irregularities on the surface of the curved surface 118 and becomes diffused light.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the light beam L that has become diffused light is reflected on the glass plate 26 and the glass plate 27 in the game visual recognition area PB, and pseudo-electric decoration areas S1 and S2 in which light emission is seen in blue or yellow are formed. Is done. In addition, depending on the viewing angle, a plurality of pseudo electric decoration areas S1 and S2 may be visually recognized in the depth direction.

  The pseudo electric decoration areas S1 and S2 formed in this way are visually recognized as new electric decoration by the player. In addition, since the flat portion 123 is colored black as described above, the entire light guide plate 116 is black, and the light emission color of the light beam L emitted from the curved surface 118 is conspicuously recognized, thereby improving the illumination effect. .

  Here, when the inner frame 14 or the glass frame 22 is opened as much as possible to remove the pachinko balls clogged in the game board G or due to fraud, the light sources 122A, 122B, and 122C (see FIG. 6) are red. The light beam L is emitted, and the pseudo illumination areas S1 and S2 are red.

  Thereby, it can be discriminate | determined whether fraud is performed by seeing the color of pseudo | simulation electrical decoration area | region S1, S2.

  As described above, when the light emitting unit 114 (the light sources 122A, 122B, 122C, and the light guide plate 116) disposed along the game visual recognition area PB of the glass frame 22 emits light, the emitted portions are applied to the glass plates 26, 27. Since it is reflected and becomes a new electric decoration, even if the electric decoration area in the glass frame 22 is reduced, an electric decoration effect can be obtained.

  In addition, since the portion that emits light depending on the viewing angle of the player can be seen behind the glass plates 26 and 27, the depth of the game visual recognition area PB can be felt.

  Furthermore, the glass plates 26 and 27 on which no electric decoration or the like can be arranged can have an electric decoration effect, and the number of game production means increases.

  Moreover, since diffused light is reflected on the glass plate 26 and further reflected on the glass plate 27, a plurality of illumination effects can be obtained with one light source.

  Further, when the inner frame 14 or the glass frame 22 is opened by a fraudulent act, the light emission is different from that at the time of closing, so that it is easy to find the fraudulent act.

  Further, since the light beam L is reflected on the glass plates 26 and 27, it is possible to confirm the difference in color by looking at the glass plates 26 and 27 without directly viewing the curved surface 118 that is the exit surface of the light beam L. It is easy to detect fraud.

  Further, since the color of the flat portion 123 to which the light guide plate 116 is attached is black, the entire light guide plate 116 is black, and the color of light emitted from the curved surface 118 can be made to stand out.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to said embodiment.

  Other than this, the number of light sources 122A, 122B, and 122C may be appropriately selected at a single number or a plurality of locations.

  Further, the installation positions of the light sources 122A, 122B, and 122C may be, for example, two in the upper part of the light guide plate 116 and one in the lower part, and can be changed as appropriate according to the number of installed light sources. The emission direction may be changed to a vertical direction or an oblique direction.

  Furthermore, the light emission colors of the light sources 122A, 122B, and 122C may be colors other than blue, yellow, and red.

  There may be a plurality of light guide plates 116. For example, two light guide plates 116 may be stacked on the front surface of the flat portion 123 to emit light of different colors.

  The installation position of the light guide plate 116 may be an upper part or a lower part of the glass frame 22.
