  By the way, as shown in FIG. 2, the normal symbol display means 27 is for variably displaying the normal symbol. For example, two light emitters (for example, “◯” and “×”) corresponding to two normal symbols (for example, LED), and on the condition that the normal symbol starting means 15 comprising a passing gate or the like detects the game ball, the two light emitters blink alternately for a predetermined time, and the game ball by the normal symbol starting means 15 When the hit determination random number value acquired at the time of detection matches a predetermined hit determination value, the light emitter on the “◯” side corresponding to the hit mode is in a light-emitting state, and otherwise it is in the off mode The blinking ends when the corresponding “×” side light emitter emits light.

  Further, when the normal symbol starting means 15 detects a game ball during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display means 27 or during the normal profit state described later, a hit determination random number value acquired at the time of detection is determined in advance. The upper limit number, for example, four is stored as a limit, and the normal number-of-holds display means 29 made up of, for example, the same number of light emitters as the upper limit number is used to determine the number of stored random numbers (hereinafter referred to as normal number). Is displayed, and the player is notified of the number of normally reserved items at that time.

  The special symbol starting means 16 is for starting the symbol variation by the special symbol display means 28, and includes, for example, two upper and lower special starting ports 16a and 16b, and is arranged below the center case 14 or the like. The upper special start port 16a is a non-actuated winning port having no opening / closing means, and the lower special start port 16b is an actuated winning port that can be opened / closed by the opening / closing means 38. The opening / closing means 38 is configured to change from the closed state to the open state for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times when the symbol becomes a hit state and a normal profit state occurs.

  The special symbol display means 28 is composed of one or a plurality of, for example, one special symbol (game symbol) that can be displayed in a variable manner, such as a 7-segment display. A special jackpot determination random number value obtained when winning a special symbol is displayed for a predetermined time on a condition that a game ball wins in either of 16a and 16b and a special symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time. If it matches the value, it is stopped in a predetermined jackpot mode, and in other cases it is stopped in an outlier mode.

  The special symbol is provided with, for example, one or more types of jackpots and disengages. Each of these aspects may be assigned a numerical symbol or the like, and has no special meaning such as a combination of arbitrary lines and points so that the player cannot easily distinguish the type of the special symbol. You may assign a symbol.

  In addition, when a game ball wins a special start opening 16a, 16b during special symbol fluctuation display or a special profit state to be described later, a jackpot determination random number value obtained at the time of winning is reserved for a predetermined upper limit. The number of pieces, for example, four each is stored as a limit, and the special reserved number display means 36 displays the number of stored jackpot determination random number values (hereinafter referred to as special reserved number), and the special reserved number at that time is played. The person is notified.

  The effect symbol display means 35 variably displays the effect symbols in parallel with, for example, the special symbol change display by the special symbol display means 28. For example, one or a plurality of effect symbols, for example, three effect symbols in the left-right direction are displayed. The display screen 22a of the image display means 22 can be displayed in a variable manner together with the effect image of the special display of the special symbol on condition that the game ball wins at one of the special start ports 16a and 16b of the special symbol start means 16. At the same time as the start of change, the effect symbols start to change according to a predetermined change pattern, and at the same time as the special symbols change stops, the effect symbols are stopped in a predetermined order such as left, right, middle, etc. Yes.

  The special reserved number display means 36 notifies the special reserved number, and displays symbols for the special reserved number at a predetermined location on the display screen 22a.

  The big winning means 17 is an actuating winning means provided with an open / close plate 39 that can be switched between an open state in which a game ball can be won and a closed state in which a prize cannot be won. When a special profit state is generated based on the big hit mode, the opening / closing plate 39 opens to the front side according to a predetermined opening pattern, and the game ball dropped thereon is awarded to the inside. .

  Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 3-5, the transparent division member 40 is attached so that the front structure 21 may be located in the back end part location of the stage 26. As shown in FIG. The transparent partition member 40 partitions the stage 26 and the back side so as to prevent a game ball rolling on the stage 26 from entering the back side of the stage 26. That is, the transparent partition member 40 partitions the stage 26 and the open space 23a so as to prevent the game ball rolling on the stage 26 from entering the open space 23a. For example, the transparent partition member 40 is a transparent plate-like member (for example, a transparent resin molded product) having a horizontally long substantially pentagonal shape (see FIG. 5) in a front view and a thin plate shape (see FIGS. 3 and 4) in a plan view and a side view. It is said. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the transparent partition member 40 is formed with through holes 40 a at both ends when viewed from the front, and the through holes 40 a are formed to protrude from the back surface of the front structure 21. In addition, the transparent partition member 40 is fixed to the front structure 21 with screws by inserting screws into the through holes 40a and screwing them into the mounting bosses 21a in a state of being fitted to the two mounting bosses 21a.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper end of the transparent partition member 40 is positioned slightly higher than the display window 31, but may be the same height as the display window 31 or lower than the display window 31, and the display screen 22a. It may be the height that covers the entire surface. Further, the transparent partition member 40 may be translucent.

  The transparent partition member 40 includes a mounting hole 42 (corresponding to a support portion) for mounting a decorative component 43 (corresponding to a decorative object or electrical component) at the center and in the upper portion in the lateral width direction when viewed from the front. The mounting hole 42 is for supporting the decorative part 43 in a state where at least a part of the decorative part 43 is located on the front side of the transparent partition member 40, and the front part of the head 44 in the decorative part 43 is inserted. The size is possible.

  The decorative component 43 is, for example, a colored resin molded product having a design corresponding to the appearance of the game board 11 or the display content of the display screen 22a, and has a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction (the stage 26 as shown in FIG. 4). The thickness is about twice as large as the depth of.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 8, the decorative component 43 includes a head 44 having a shape protruding partly forward from the mounting hole 42 of the transparent partition member 40 from the viewpoint of the appearance impression, The portion 44 is roughly divided into a body portion 45 located on the back side of the transparent partition member 40 in a shape extending downward from the back side of the transparent partition member 40. The head 44 houses a non-contact sensor 50 (for example, an optical non-contact sensor) that detects a player's movement, and the body 45 houses a magnetic sensor 55 that detects the proximity of a magnet or the like. ing.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the decorative component 43 includes a front cover 46 (corresponding to a first member and a front member) constituting the front side of the outer shape and a back cover constituting the rear side of the outer shape. 47 (corresponding to the second member, rear member) and the non-contact sensor 50 housed in the upper part of the internal space formed by combining the front cover 46 and the back cover 47 (corresponding to the outer member); And a magnetic sensor 55 stored in a lower portion of the storage space.

  The front cover 46 is provided with a first housing portion 48 (corresponding to a placement portion) that houses the non-contact sensor 50 in a downwardly inclined posture at 44 positions on the inner side (side facing the back cover 47). In addition, a second accommodating portion 49 that accommodates the magnetic sensor 55 in a standing posture is provided at 45 positions of the trunk portion. In a state where the non-contact sensor 50 is housed in the first housing portion 48 of the front cover 46, the sensor surface 52 is flush as shown in FIGS. The second housing portion 49 includes a front rib 49a that restricts the forward movement of the magnetic sensor 55, a left rib 49b that restricts the leftward movement of the magnetic sensor 55, and a downward direction of the magnetic sensor 55.

  The back cover 47 is in contact with (or close to) a rear portion of the non-contact sensor 50 in the downward inclined posture on the inner side (the side facing the front cover 46) at the head 44 portion. Three ribs 47a (corresponding to the restricting portion) for restricting rearward movement are provided, and the body portion 45 is brought into contact with (or close to) the rear portion of the magnetic sensor 55, thereby moving the magnetic sensor 55 to the rear. A wall 47b for restricting movement is provided.

  The magnetic sensor 55 is for detecting the proximity of a magnetic force generating means such as a magnet. More specifically, the special symbol starting means 16 is obtained by an unauthorized person causing a magnetic force generating means (illegal tool) to approach the stage 26 through the glass plate 9 and causing the game ball rolling on the stage 26 to flow down on the illegal path. Since an illegal act of illegally making a prize (or the normal winning means 18 or the like) can be considered, the magnetic sensor 55 detects this when the magnetic force generating means (illegal tool) is improperly approached to the stage 26. Based on detection by the magnetic sensor 55, the pachinko machine turns on the notification lamp, outputs a notification sound, notifies the hall computer of the game hall, disables the generation of a special profit state, or launches a game ball. We try to reduce fraud by making it impossible.

  The non-contact sensor 50 includes a sensor surface 52 in which a light projecting unit 52a and a light receiving unit 52b are arranged side by side, and the reflected light of the light projected from the light projecting unit 52a is received by the light receiving unit 52b, so that constant detection is performed. This is a reflection type motion sensor capable of detecting an object existing within a possible range. In this embodiment, the non-contact sensor 50 employs a type that transmits and receives infrared rays, but may employ a type that transmits and receives visible light and radio waves of other frequencies.

  As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 10A, the non-contact sensor 50 has the sensor surface 52 in the lateral direction (the direction in which the light projecting unit 52a and the light receiving unit 52b are arranged side by side) on the glass plate 9 in front of the game board 11. The sensor surface 52 is arranged in an inclined posture so that the sensor surface 52 is parallel to the glass plate 9 and the sensor surface 52 is not parallel to the glass plate 9. The non-contact sensor 50 is disposed in the vicinity of the display screen 22a (or the position overlapping the display screen 22a) in the front view of the game board 11.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the non-contact sensor 50 has a sensor in a predetermined area other than the display screen projection area E1 on which the display screen 22a is projected on the glass plate 9 (in this embodiment, a lower area of the display screen projection area E1). It arrange | positions at the transparent division member 40 so that the sensor surface projection area | region E2 in which the surface 52 is projected may be set.

  The front cover 46 is provided with bosses 46a each having a screw hole 46b formed at the front end surface at two locations on the upper left side and the lower right side on the inner side (side facing the back cover 47). Further, the back cover 47 includes holes 47c into which the bosses 46a are inserted at two locations, the upper right and the lower left, on the inner side (side facing the front cover 46). Then, the boss 46 a of the front cover 46 is inserted into the hole 47 c of the back cover 47 with the non-contact sensor 50 and the magnetic sensor 55 positioned in the first housing portion 48 and the second housing portion 49 of the front cover 46. In this way, the front cover 46 and the back cover 47 are combined, and a screw is inserted into the through hole 47d formed in the hole 47c of the back cover 47 from the back side of the back cover 47 to The front cover 46 and the back cover 47 are fixed by screwing into the screw holes 46b on the front end surface of 46a.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a wiring port 45 a through which the wiring 53 of the non-contact sensor 50 and the wiring 56 of the magnetic sensor 55 pass is formed at the bottom side portion of the body 45 of the decorative component 43. Since the wiring port 45a of the decorative part 43 is located at a position located behind the stage 26, the wirings 53 and 56 coming out of the wiring port 45a are hidden by the stage 26 and cannot be seen by the player. .

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the head 44 of the decorative component 43 is formed with a locking portion 44 a that locks to a part of the front peripheral edge of the mounting hole 42 in the transparent partition member 40. As shown in FIG. 6, the locking portion 44 a is formed as a triangular protrusion having an upward slope from the front side toward the rear side in a side view. In addition, although the latching | locking part 44a employ | adopts what does not elastically deform (or is hard to elastically deform), you may employ | adopt what elastically deforms.

  At both ends of the lower part of the body 45 of the decorative part 43, through holes 46 c for screwing to the rear part of the decorative frame 24 are formed.

  Here, a procedure for attaching the decorative component 43 to the transparent partition member 40 will be described. With the decorative part 43 in an obliquely downward posture (tilted posture), the front portion of the head portion 44a is inserted into the mounting hole 42 so that the locking portion 44a of the head portion 44 is located on the front side of the transparent partition member 40, Thereafter, the decorative part 43 is changed to a standing posture (mounting posture), whereby the locking portion 44a is in contact with (or close to) a part of the front peripheral edge of the mounting hole 42 as shown in FIG. It becomes a state. Thus, in the temporarily attached state, the head portion 44 is supported by the attachment hole 42 and the locking portion 44a restricts the head portion 44 from coming out of the attachment hole 42 while the decorative component 43 is in the standing posture. Therefore, even if the operator removes his / her hand from the decorative part 43, the decorative part 43 does not fall off from the transparent partition member 40, so that the screwing operation of the decorative part 43 performed thereafter is easy to perform. That is, the decorative part 43 can be screwed to the mounting boss 24 a of the decorative frame 24 without supporting the decorative part 43 by hand.

  Specifically, a screw is inserted into a through hole 46c formed at a lower portion of the body 45 of the decorative part 43 and screwed into a mounting boss 24a formed at a rear portion of the decorative frame 24 as shown in FIG. As a result, the lower part of the decorative component 43 is fixed to the rear part of the decorative frame 24. Therefore, the head 44 of the decorative part 43 is restricted from being removed from the mounting hole 42 of the transparent partition member 40 by the locking part 44 a, and the lower part of the decorative part 43 is fixed to the rear part of the decorative frame 24. The decorative part 43 is attached to the transparent partition member 40. In addition, what is necessary is just to perform the reverse procedure of the said attachment operation | work, when removing the decorative component 43. FIG.

  Further, a part of the decorative component 43 is inserted into the mounting hole 42 in an obliquely upward inclined posture, a leftward inclined posture, or a rightward inclined posture with respect to the mounting posture (for example, the standing posture) in which the decorative component 43 is attached to the transparent partition member 40, The decorative component 43 in the inclined posture may be set in the mounting posture so that the decorative component 43 does not come out of the mounting hole 42 in the mounting posture.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the decorative component 43 is disposed on the transparent partition member 40 so that the sensor surface 52 is positioned above the stage 26 and in front of the transparent partition member 40. In addition, the distance between the front part of the head part 44 of the decorative part 43 and the part located on the front side of the transparent partition member 40 and the stage 26 located below the front part is larger than the diameter of the game ball. It has become.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, when the head 44 of the decorative component 43 is inserted into the mounting hole 42 of the transparent partition member 40, the clearance between the mounting hole 42 of the transparent partition member 40 and the decorative component 43 is The diameter is sufficiently smaller than the diameter of the game ball.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the decorative part 43 is attached to the transparent partition member 40, for example, on the front side of the back wall part 32 and below the display window 31, the trunk part 45 and the head part of the decorative part 43. The rear side of 44 is located.

  Since the glass plate 9 of the glass door 4 exists on the front side of the non-contact sensor 50, the non-contact sensor can detect an object (such as a player's finger) existing in a certain range on the front side of the glass plate 9. 50 detectable ranges are set.

  FIG. 12 is a block diagram of a control system related to the non-contact sensor 50. The sensor effect control means 71 is provided on an effect control board 73 that controls various effect means based on commands from the main control board 72 that controls the progress of the game in an integrated manner.

  The sensor effect control means 71 controls the sensor effect using the detection result by the non-contact sensor 50, and includes a voice / display control means 75, a detection determination means 76, a specific effect execution means 77, etc., and is shown in FIG. The sensor effect control process is configured to be executed.

  In this sensor effect control process, first, the reception state of the sensor effect start command from the main control board 72 is monitored (S1). The sensor effect start command from the main control board 72 is transmitted based on, for example, a lottery result indicating whether or not to perform the sensor effect at a predetermined timing such as during the variable display of the special symbol display means 28 or during the special profit state. It has come to be.

  When the sensor effect start command is received from the main control board 72 (S1: Yes), the sensor effect period is started.

  Then, under the control of the sound / display control means 75, an output for prompting the player to perform a predetermined action is performed using sound, images, etc. (S2). For example, when the content of the sensor effect is a game, for example, an image suggesting that the hand is held over the player is displayed on the sensor effect display unit 37 that displays the sensor effect on the image display unit 22, and the “stage” is displayed from the speaker 78. "Hold your hand toward" and the like will be output. Of course, the content of the sensor effect is arbitrary, and other than the game, for example, it may be a game that allows the player to make an arbitrary selection input. Depending on the content of the effect, an arbitrary image or sound may be sent to prompt the player to perform a predetermined action. Just output.

  The state of the non-contact sensor 50 is monitored by the detection determination means 76 until the predetermined time elapses and the sensor effect period ends (S4) (S3).

  Subsequently, the detection determination means 76 determines whether or not the detection result of the non-contact sensor 50 satisfies a predetermined condition during the sensor production period (S5). For example, an operation pattern indicating the player's operation displayed on the sensor effect display unit 37 is compared with the detection history of the non-contact sensor 50. Is determined to be satisfied.

  If the detection determination means 76 determines that the detection result of the non-contact sensor 50 does not satisfy the predetermined condition during the sensor effect period (S5: No), the sensor effect start command monitoring state (S1) is entered as it is. However, if the detection determining unit 76 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied (S5: Yes), the specific effect is executed by the specific effect executing unit 77 (S6), and then a sensor effect start command is issued. The monitoring state (S1) is shifted to.

  Here, for example, when the number of special reservations is 1 or more, the specific effect corresponds to the content of each reserved memory, that is, whether it corresponds to the jackpot mode, etc., corresponds to the jackpot mode during the hold memory Any effect may be used, such as an effect of informing whether or not there is a continuous notice over a plurality of special symbol fluctuations and an effect of causing a special reach effect to appear. For example, when the sensor effect is performed at a predetermined timing during the symbol variation display, the specific effect may be different depending on whether the symbol after the variation stops is a big hit or not. In addition, when the sensor effect is performed at a predetermined timing in the special profit state, the content of the specific effect may be determined according to the gaming state to be transferred after the special profit state ends.

  In this embodiment, the generation of the sensor effect is conditional on a command from the main control board 72. However, the generation of the sensor effect is not conditional on a command from the main control board 72, and the effect control board 73 has its own sensor. It may be determined by a predetermined lottery that an effect is performed.

  In this embodiment, a game board 11 provided on the front side with a game area 13 where a game ball flows down, and a game ball which is located at a predetermined position of the game board 11 and flows down the game area 13 can enter and roll. A stage 26 and a transparent partition member 40 that partitions the stage 26 and the back side so as to prevent the game ball rolling on the stage 26 from entering the back side of the stage 26, and the front-rear direction And a mounting hole 42 for supporting the decorative part 43 in a state where at least a part of the decorative part 43 having a predetermined thickness is located on the front side of the transparent partition member 40, the predetermined thickness is provided in the front-rear direction. The decorative component 43 can be supported on the transparent partition member 40 so that at least a part of the decorative component 43 is located on the front side of the transparent partition member 40, and the decorative component 43 having a sense of depth is arranged in the front-rear direction. It can be, it is possible to provide an excellent pachinko machine to decorative.

  Further, since the distance between the part of the decorative part 43 and the stage 26 below it is larger than the diameter of the game ball, the game ball can roll between the part of the decorative part 43 and the stage 26, and the decorative part 43 can prevent the rolling range of the stage 26 from becoming narrow.

  In addition, since a predetermined portion of the decorative part 43 (the front side of the head 44) is inserted into and supported by the mounting hole 42 of the transparent partition member 40, the decorative part 43 having a size extending before and after the transparent partition member 40 is supported by the transparent part. The member 40 can be disposed. Moreover, since the decorative component 43 is supported by being inserted into the mounting hole 42 with respect to the transparent partition member 40, there is no need to provide a screw for fastening the decorative component 43 to the transparent partition member 40, and the transparent partition member 40 is secured by screwing. The beauty of the member 40 and the decorative part 43 is not impaired.

  Further, since the gap between the decorative part 43 and the transparent partition member 40 in the mounting hole 42 is smaller than the diameter of the game ball, it is possible to prevent the game ball from passing through the gap.

  In addition, the wirings 53 and 56 of the decorative part 43 are drawn to the outside from the wiring port 45a that is hidden behind the stage 26 in the front cover 46 and the back cover 47, and the wirings 53 and 56 of the decorative part 43 are played through the game. Can not be shown to the person, and the aesthetic feeling of the decorative part 43 is not harmed.

  In the non-contact sensor 50, the arrangement direction of the light projecting portion 52 a and the light receiving portion 52 b of the sensor surface 52 is parallel to the glass plate 9 in front of the game board 11, and the arrangement direction of the sensor surface 52 is Since the orthogonal direction is not parallel to the glass plate 9 and the sensor surface 52 is inclined, the light emitted from the light projecting portion 52 a of the non-contact sensor 50 is emitted from the glass plate 9 in front of the game board 11. It is possible to reduce reflection and light reception by the light receiving unit 52b, and to reduce erroneous detection of the non-contact sensor 50.

  Further, since the non-contact sensor 50 is disposed in the vicinity of the display screen 22a in front view of the game board 11, it is easy to teach the player the position of the non-contact sensor 50.

  Further, since the non-contact sensor 50 is sandwiched between the front cover 46 and the back cover 47 and is fixed in the internal storage space, it is possible to eliminate the need for screwing of the non-contact sensor 50 and the number of parts. Can be reduced.

  In addition, the first housing portion 48 on which the front side of the non-contact sensor 50 is placed is provided at the inner portion of the front cover 46, and the non-contact sensor 50 positioned in the first housing portion 48 is disposed at the inner portion of the back cover 47. Since the rib 47a for restricting the rearward movement of the front cover 46 is provided, the front cover 46 is placed on the front side of the non-contact sensor 50 in the first accommodating portion 48 inside the front cover 46. By combining 47, the non-contact sensor 50 can be stored in the storage space of the front cover 46 and the back cover 47, and the mounting operation of the non-contact sensor 50 to the front cover 46 is easy. Further, when the non-contact sensor 50 is stored, movement of the non-contact sensor 50 to the rear side is restricted by the rib 47a of the back cover 47, and the back-and-forth movement of the non-contact sensor 50 is reduced and stored. be able to. In addition, the boundary portion between the front cover 46 and the back cover 47 is located on the side surface side of the decorative component 43 and is not formed on the front surface side of the decorative component 43. However, it is possible to reduce the problem that it becomes difficult to attach the decorative part 43 when it hits the transparent partition member 40.

  In addition, since the decorative part 43 includes the magnetic sensor 55, a fraudulent person brings a magnet close to a position near the stage 26 in the glass plate 9 in front of the game board 11 and, for example, the game ball on the stage 26 rolls. Can be detected by the magnetic sensor 55 of the decorative part 43 disposed near the stage 26. Therefore, the fraudulent act of illegally manipulating the game ball of the stage 26 with a magnet can be reduced.

  Further, the non-contact sensor 50 is disposed on the transparent partition member 40 so as to set the sensor surface projection area E2 in a predetermined area other than the display screen projection area E1 on which the display screen 22a on the glass plate 9 is projected. Therefore, when the player moves his / her hand toward the non-contact sensor 50, the movement can be appropriately detected, and the display screen 22a is not blocked by the player's hand, and the display effect of the display screen 22a is displayed. Can be reduced, and the possibility of missing an interesting display effect can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to provide a pachinko machine that can detect a player's movement with the non-contact sensor 50 and reduce missed display effects of the image display means 22.

  Further, the non-contact sensor 50 is away from the display screen 22a when viewed from the front of the game board 11, and the sensor surface 52 faces the sensor surface projection area E2 other than the display screen projection area E1 on the glass plate 9 when viewed from the side. Thus, since it is arrange | positioned in the transparent division member 40 as an inclination attitude | position, it can reduce that the projection light from the non-contact sensor 50 recurs by reflection by the glass plate 9 and the display screen 22a. That is, since the display screen 22a is not located at the destination of the reflected light reflected by the glass plate 9 from the non-contact sensor 50 and the reflected light is not reflected again by the display screen 22a. It is possible to reduce the return to the light receiving part 52b of the sensor. Moreover, it can also reduce that the light from the display screen 22a reflects by the glass plate 9, and is received by the non-contact sensor 50. FIG. That is, even if light from the display screen 22a is reflected by the glass plate 9 and travels toward the non-contact sensor 50, the sensor surface 52 is in an inclined posture not directed in the reflected light direction. It is difficult to receive light. Therefore, it is possible to provide a ball game machine capable of reducing malfunction of the non-contact sensor 50 (for example, motion sensor) due to the influence of the image display means 22.

  In addition, the decorative component 43 is disposed on the transparent partition member 40 in a state where the non-contact sensor 50 is housed inside so as to cover the part other than the sensor surface 52, and thus the decorative component disposed on the transparent partition member 40 An aesthetic effect can be produced by 43, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, since the decorative component 43 is disposed on the transparent partition member 40 so that the sensor surface 52 of the non-contact sensor 50 is positioned above the stage 26 and in front of the transparent partition member 40, the stage 26 There is no direct projection to the upper game ball, and erroneous detection by the game ball on the stage 26 can be reduced.

  Moreover, since the sensor surface 52 of the non-contact sensor 50 is positioned in front of the transparent partition member 40, the portion of the decorative component 43 positioned on the back side of the transparent partition member 40 can be reduced.

  Further, since the decorative part 43 is detachable from the transparent partition member 40, it can be replaced in the case of a failure of the non-contact sensor 50.

  Further, the arrangement direction of the light projecting unit 52a and the light receiving unit 52b constituting the sensor surface 52 of the non-contact sensor 50 is parallel to the glass plate 9, and the sensor surface 52 is inclined with respect to the glass plate 9. Since the non-contact sensor 50 is arranged on the transparent partition member 40 so that the reflected light is reflected from the light projecting part 52a of the non-contact sensor 50 and reflected by the glass plate 9, it is reduced toward the light receiving part 52b. And false detection can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, the non-contact sensor 50 is in a downward direction away from the display screen 22a in front view of the game board 11 as shown in FIG. 5, and in side view of the game board 11 as shown in FIG. Since the sensor surface 52 is disposed on the transparent partition member 40 in a downward inclined posture so as to face the sensor surface projection region E2 positioned below the display screen projection region E1 of the glass plate 9 (see FIG. 10A). The reflected light CL emitted from the light projecting unit 52a and reflected by the glass plate 9 can be directed in a different direction from the non-contact sensor 50, and the reflected light CL can be reduced from being received by the light receiving unit 52b. Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, the game board 11 faces the sensor surface projection area E2 that is located in the upward direction away from the display screen 22a in the front view and above the display screen projection area E1 of the glass plate 9. As described above, the transparent partition member 40 may be disposed in an upward inclined posture, and the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), the game board 11 faces the sensor surface projection area E2 which is in the downward direction away from the display screen 22a in a plan view and below the display screen projection area E1 of the glass plate 9. Thus, the sensor surface may be disposed on the transparent partition member 40 as a downwardly inclined posture, and is located in the upward direction away from the display screen 22a and above the display screen projection area E1 of the glass plate 9 although not shown. It is good also as an upward inclination attitude | position so that it may face to the projection area | region E2. Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, in the sensor surface projection area E2 located in the leftward direction away from the display screen 22a in the plan view of the game board 11 and to the left of the display screen projection area E1 of the glass plate 9. It may be disposed on the transparent partition member 40 in a leftward inclined posture so as to face, and although it is not shown, it is in the rightward direction away from the display screen 22a and is located to the right of the display screen projection area E1 of the glass plate 9. It is good also as a rightward inclination attitude | position so that it may face the sensor surface projection area | region E2. In these cases, the following is preferable.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10C and FIG. 11B, the arrangement direction of the light projecting unit 52 a and the light receiving unit 52 b constituting the sensor surface 52 of the non-contact sensor 50 is not parallel to the glass plate 9. In addition, the non-contact sensor 50 is preferably disposed on the transparent partition member 40 so that the distance from the light receiving unit 52b to the glass plate 9 is shorter than that of the light projecting unit 52a. 10D and 11A, the arrangement direction of the light projecting part 52a and the light receiving part 52b on the sensor surface 52 is not parallel to the glass plate 9, and the glass plate 9 of the light receiving part 52b is connected to the glass plate 9. Since the distance is longer than that of the light projecting unit 52a, the reflected light CL of the light projected from the light projecting unit 52a reflected by the glass plate 9 may be received by the light receiving unit 52b, which is not preferable. On the other hand, in FIG. 10C and FIG. 11B, since the light projected from the light projecting unit 52a is reduced toward the light receiving unit 52b even if it is reflected by the glass plate 9, an error occurs. Detection can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, the head 44 of the decorative component 43 is inserted and locked into the mounting hole 42 of the transparent partition member 40. However, as shown in FIG. The decorative part 43 may be slidably mounted on the notch 41 formed in the transparent partition member 40 in such a size that can be inserted.

As shown in FIG. 18, the extending portion 40 b is inclined so that the upper surface is inclined forward, so that it can fall forward when the game ball rides on. The extending portion 40b is formed, for example, at the end of the transparent partition member 40 (the upper end in the present embodiment) along the upper side of the decorative component 60 and over a range that is longer than the upper side. By adopting the extending portion 40b in the transparent partition member 40, the strength of the transparent partition member 40 can be improved, and even when the decorative component 60 is attached to the front side of the transparent partition member 40, the transparent partition member 40 Deformation can be reduced. Further, by providing the extending portion 40 b in the transparent partition member 40, it is possible to make it difficult for an unauthorized person to enter a fraudulent tool into the space behind the transparent partition member 40 and the movable member 58. The extending portion 40b may be formed along the decorative component 60 at the end of the transparent partition member 40 (at least one of the upper end, the lower end, the left end, or the right end). Further, the extending portion 40b may be formed along the long side of the decorative component 60 at the end of the transparent partition member 40, or may be formed in a range longer than the long side. In addition, in this 2nd Embodiment, although the extended part 40b is provided in the upper end of the transparent division member 40, you may make it like the above-mentioned 1st Embodiment.

  Further, the front structure 21 of the decorative frame 24 is, as shown in FIGS. 16, 17, and 19, a decorative plate that is positioned with a slight space on the front side of the transparent partition member 40 at a place other than the decorative component 60. A portion 21b is provided. The decorative plate portion 21b of the front structure 21 is, for example, a colored resin molded product, and the decorative plate portion 21b is positioned at a location other than the decorative component 60 on the front side of the transparent partition member 40, whereby the transparent partition member 40 is formed. Can be decorated. In the present embodiment, the decorative plate portion 21 b is provided on the front side of the transparent partition member 40 with a slight space therebetween, but may be brought into contact with the front side of the transparent partition member 40. Further, the decorative plate portion 21b may not be provided.

  The decorative part 60 forms an outer shape of the decorative part 60, and forms an outer case 61 in which a storage space is formed. An LED mounting board 64 on which an LED 65 (light emitting diode 65) is mounted and is stored in the storage space. A front cover 66 (front side light emitting area) of the outer case 61 is provided which emits light when light from the LED 65 of the LED mounting substrate 64 is incident at a predetermined position on the front side of the case 61. The LED 65 may be a multi-color light emitting type, but may be a single color type.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, the outer case 61 has a short cylindrical shape with a substantially inverted trapezoidal opening on the front and rear surfaces, a light-transmitting frame case 62, and light fitted to the front side of the frame case 62. The front cover 66 is attached to the front side of the frame case 62 so that the boss 66a of the front cover 66 is inserted into the insertion hole 62a of the frame case 62, and the frame case 62 is inserted. By screwing a screw 62b inserted into a through hole (not shown) formed at the center of the hole 62a into a screw hole (not shown) formed at the tip of the boss 66a of the front cover 66, the front cover 66 is framed. It is fixed to the case 62. The frame case 62 is a colored resin molded part, and may be non-light transmissive or may be different from the light transmissive property of the front cover 66. The front cover 66 is a colored resin molded part and may have a different color from the frame case 62.

  In the transparent partition member 40, pins 40d are formed at both the upper left and lower right positions in the board mounting region 40c when viewed from the front, and the LED mounting substrate 64 is positioned corresponding to the pins 40d of the transparent partition member 40 (upper left when viewed from the front. And a pin hole 64a is formed in the lower right part). The pin 40d of the transparent partition member 40 is inserted into the pin hole 64a of the LED mounting substrate 64 so that the LED mounting substrate 64 is positioned in the substrate mounting region 40c of the transparent partition member 40, and the LED mounting substrate 64 is viewed from the front side of the LED mounting substrate 64. The LED mounting board 64 is screwed and fixed to the transparent partition member 40 by inserting a screw 64 c into the through hole 64 b of 64 and screwing it into the screw hole 40 e of the transparent partition member 40.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the transparent partition member 40 is formed with a contact portion 40f (contact protrusion) protruding forward by, for example, about 1 mm at a predetermined position of the substrate mounting region 40c. The contact portion 40f is formed at the peripheral edge of the board attachment region 40c, the peripheral portion of the transparent partition member 40 around the pin 40d and the screw hole, and the portion connecting the pin 40d and the screw hole. In a state where the LED mounting substrate 64 is screwed to the transparent partition member 40, a portion other than the soldering portion on the solder surface 64d of the LED mounting substrate 64 contacts the contact portion 40f, and the solder mounting surface 64d of the LED mounting substrate 64 A predetermined interval (for example, about 1 mm) is provided so that the soldered portion does not directly contact the transparent partition member 40. By doing in this way, it can reduce that a soldering location damages by the transparent partition member 40 hitting the soldering location of the LED mounting substrate 64, and the insulation of the LED mounting substrate 64 is further secured. .

  Instead of the contact portion 40f of the transparent partition member 40, a flexible insulating sheet may be positioned in the substrate mounting region 40c of the transparent partition member 40. Also in this case, it is possible to reduce the damage of the soldered portion and to secure the insulating property of the LED mounting substrate 64.

  Then, after fixing the LED mounting board 64 to the transparent partition member 40 with screws, the frame case 62 is attached to the transparent partition member 40 so as to cover the LED mounting board 64 with the frame case 62 to which the front cover 66 is attached. Specifically, a screw 40k is inserted into the through hole 40j of the transparent partition member 40 from behind the transparent partition member 40, and the screw 40k is screwed into the boss 62c of the frame case 62, whereby the decorative component 60 is transparent. It is fixed to the front side of the partition member 40.

  Further, the entire front side of the front cover 66 emits light, and the entire front side of the front cover 66 is a front side light emitting area part, but a part of the front side (part of the entire front side, A character portion on which a predetermined character is formed and a design portion on which a predetermined figure or picture is formed may be used as the front side light emitting area portion.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 18, the upper surface 60a of the decorative component 60 is an inclined surface inclined downward and forward. Therefore, even when a game ball rides on the upper surface 60a of the decorative component 60, the upper surface 60a is an inclined surface that is inclined downward and forward, so that the game ball riding on the upper surface 60a is lowered and discharged by the inclined surface. Remaining game balls on the upper surface 60a of the 60 can be reduced.

  The effect control board 73 (see FIG. 12) controls the light emission of the LED 65 of the LED mounting board 64 when a predetermined display effect is provided on the image display means 22. Here, this predetermined display effect is, for example, an effect of notifying whether or not the content of each reserved memory, that is, whether or not it corresponds to a big hit mode when the number of special reserved numbers is 1 or more, and a big hit mode during the reserved memory It is possible to use any effect such as an effect of notifying the presence or absence of a product corresponding to the above by a continuous notice over a plurality of special symbol variations, or an effect of causing a special reach effect to appear. Further, as will be described later, the light emission may be controlled based on the ball entering the decorative frame 24 (center case). Further, the display effect and the decorative frame are made different in the light emission mode (at least one of the light emission color, the light emission intensity, and the blinking pattern) of the LED 65 in the case of this display effect and the case of entering the decoration frame 24. Differences from entering 24 can be suggested to the player.

  Further, the distance from the lower surface 60b of the decorative component 60 to the stage 26 is larger than the diameter of the game ball.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 21, a connector portion 64e is formed in a lateral direction at the right end side portion of the LED mounting substrate 64, and the wiring 67 connected to the connector portion 64e of the LED mounting substrate 64 is as follows. As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the transparent partition member 40 is guided to the back surface of the transparent partition member 40 through the wiring port 40g penetrating back and forth in the board mounting region 40c of the transparent partition member 40 and close to the connector portion 64e. It is laid on the wiring guide part 40h behind the member 40 and is held by the wiring guide part 40h by the wiring claw 40i. Further, a fall prevention wall 26a for a game ball is erected in front of the left and right ends of the stage 26 in the decoration frame 24, and the right and left places of the decoration part 60 in the transparent partition member 40 are hidden by the fall prevention wall 26a. For this reason, the wiring 67 of the decorative component 60 is not visible to the player when the game board 11 is viewed from the front. Further, by attaching the decorative component 60 that requires the wiring 67 to the transparent partition member 40 attached to the rear structure 23 side, it is not necessary to pass the wiring 67 to the front structure 21 side. When the design is changed and reused, the front structure 21 can be easily removed.

  Thus, since the attachment part 42A for attaching the decorative component 60 having a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction to the front side of the transparent partition member 40 is provided, the decorative component 60 having a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction is provided on the transparent partition member 40. A decorative part 60 that is attached to the front side and has a sense of depth in the front-rear direction can be disposed, and a pachinko machine having excellent decorativeness can be provided.

  Note that, as the attachment portion 42A for attaching the decorative component 60 to the front side of the transparent partition member 40, in addition to screwing, locking fixing, fitting fixing, slide fixing, or the like may be employed. For example, in the locking and fixing, the locking part is provided on one of the frame case 62 or the transparent partition member 40, the locked part is provided on the other side, and the locking part is locked on the locked part, thereby the decorative component 60. Is fixed to the transparent partition member 40. Further, in the fitting and fixing, a fitting pin is provided on one of the frame case 62 or the transparent partition member 40, a fitted portion is provided on the other side, and the fitted pin is fitted on the fitted portion, thereby the decorative component 60.

For example, the decorative part 60 may be fixed to the transparent partition member 40 by sliding.

  In addition, the decorative component 60 and the stage 26 are located on the front side of the transparent partition member 40. However, since the distance between the decorative component 60 and the stage 26 below it is larger than the diameter of the game ball, the decorative component 60 and The game ball can roll between the stage 26 and the decorative part 60 can prevent the rolling range of the stage 26 from becoming narrow.

  Since the decorative component 60 includes an outer case 61 that houses the LED mounting substrate 64 and a front cover 66 that is positioned on the front side of the outer case 61, the decorative component is attached to the front side of the transparent partition member 40. The 60 front covers 66 can emit light, and the decorativeness can be enhanced.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the decorative frame 24 (center case) includes a entrance 25 for entering a game ball, and a warp passage 25 a for guiding the game ball entered into the entrance 25 to the stage 26. (Guide passage portion) and a ball detection sensor 25b (ball detection means) that detects a game ball that has entered the ball entrance 25. The entrance detection by the entrance detection sensor 25b is input to, for example, an effect control board 73 (see FIG. 12). The effect control board 73 is based on the entrance detection by the entrance detection sensor 25b. The 64 LEDs 65 are controlled to emit light. In this case, the game ball on the stage 26 of the decorative frame 24 is illuminated with light emitted from the lower surface 60b of the decorative component 60, that is, the lower surface of the outer case 61 (lower surface side light emitting area), and the game on the stage 26 is played. Attention can be drawn to the ball, the stage ball can be easily seen, and the player can enjoy whether or not the stage ball is discharged toward the special symbol starting means 16.

  Further, instead of the above-described effect control board 73, the light emission control of the LED 65 of the LED mounting board 64 may be performed by the main control board 72 or another control board.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the LED mounting board 64 has a plurality of LEDs 65 arranged side by side in the height direction of the storage space of the decorative component 60, and the outer case 61 is located on the inner wall side of the lower surface. Further, a non-light-transmitting partition wall 63 (light-shielding partition wall portion) that partitions the LED 65 on the lower side of the LED mounting board 64 and the LED 65 on the upper side of the LED mounting board 64 is employed. The LED 65 may illuminate the front cover 66, and the LED 65 in the lower row of the LED mounting board 64 may illuminate the lower surface of the outer case 61. In this case, the plurality of rows of LEDs 65 arranged in the height direction within the storage space of the decorative component 60 are divided into an upper row LED 65 and a lower row LED 65 by the partition wall 63, and the front cover 66 is separated by the upper row LED 65. Since light is emitted and the lower surface of the outer case 61 emits light by the LEDs 65 in the lower row, the single LED mounting substrate 64 is used independently for light emission display of the decorative component 60 and light emission display of the stage 26. be able to. That is, it is possible to perform three modes with the single LED mounting substrate 64, in which only the front cover 66 emits light, only the lower surface of the outer case 61 emits light, and both emit light.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the upper surface 60a of the decorative component 60 may be an upper rolling portion in which a rolling area where the game ball that has jumped can roll is formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 24, the upper rolling portion has a substantially arcuate shape in which both end sides are high and the central portion is lower than that in the sectional view. Moreover, you may form in a waveform. Further, the upper rolling part is provided with a discharge guide recess 68 for discharging the game ball rolling on the upper rolling part toward the special symbol starting means 16 arranged on the game board 11. Also good. The discharge guide recess 68 is formed at, for example, a central portion of the upper rolling portion in a cross-sectional view, for example. In this case, even if the game ball has jumped into the upper surface 60a of the decorative component 60 attached to the front portion of the transparent partition member 40 and the height portion of the game ball larger than the stage 26, this The diving ball can be rolled at the upper rolling portion that is the upper surface 60a, and the rolling mode of the diving ball can be shown to the player. Further, when the diving ball that has jumped into the upper surface 60a of the decorative component 60 rolls on the upper surface 60a (upper rolling portion) and is caught by the discharge guide recess 68, as shown by a two-dot chain line arrow in FIG. Since it is discharged toward the special symbol starting means 16 in the game area 13, the player can enjoy the flow of the dive ball with the expectation of winning the special symbol starting means 16. Further, since the outer case 61 is light transmissive, the upper surface 60a (upper rolling part) of the decorative component 60 can emit light, and the outer surface 61a jumps into the upper surface 60a of the decorative component 60 to illuminate the rolling ball. Can do.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 24, when the game ball guided through the warp passage 25a rolls on the stage 26, it is illuminated with light from the lower surface of the decorative component 60, and is easy to see. When a game ball that has jumped into the upper surface 60a of the decorative component 60 above the stage 26 from the game area 13 rolls on the upper surface 60a of the decorative component 60, it is illuminated with light from the upper surface 60a of the decorative component 60 for easy viewing. It has become.

  Furthermore, the upper surface 60a (upper rolling portion) of the decorative component 60 may be formed with another discharge recess for discharging the game ball toward a place other than the special symbol starting means 16 at a place other than the discharge guide recess 68. good. In this case, it is possible to enjoy whether the ball that jumps into the upper surface 60a of the decorative component 60 is discharged toward the special symbol starting means 16 or the other direction.

  Moreover, you may employ | adopt the decorative component 80 as shown in FIGS. An outer case 81 of the decorative part 80 is fitted with a front decoration cover 83 (corresponding to a front member) having an opening 83a formed in a predetermined display shape (for example, V-shape) on the front side, and the opening 83a. A box case 84 (a projection 84a shaped like a V in front view is formed on the front side and combined with the rear side of the front cover 83 so that the projection 84a fits into the opening 83a. Equivalent to the rear member). The front decoration cover 83 is a substantially dish-shaped member in which a recessed portion 83b (see FIG. 25) in which a portion excluding the peripheral edge portion is recessed on the front side is formed on the back side thereof, and the box case 84 is formed on the front side thereof. A fitting protrusion 84b that fits into the recess 83b of the front decoration cover 83 is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 27, the fitting protrusion 84b of the box case 84 is fitted into the depression 83b (see FIG. 25) on the back side of the front decoration cover 83, so that the depression 83b of the front decoration cover 83 is formed. The boss 83c is inserted into the insertion hole 84c formed in the fitting protrusion 84b of the box case 84, and a through hole (not shown) formed in the bottom surface of the insertion hole 84c from the back side of the box case 84 is formed. The front ornament cover 83 is fixed to the front side of the box case 84 by inserting the screw 85 into the small hole diameter) and screwing it into the screw hole 83d on the tip surface of the boss 83c of the front ornament cover 83. As shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, there is no step at the boundary between the front decoration cover 83 and the box case 84, and the upper surface 60a, both side surfaces, and the lower surface 60b of the decorative component 60 are flush with each other.

  In this case, a predetermined display shape can be formed on the front side of the decorative component 60 by fitting the protrusion 84a of the box case 84 into the opening 83a of the front decoration cover 83, and the decorativeness is excellent. . Further, for example, when a decorative seal is pasted on the front surface of the decorative component 60, the decorative seal itself may be peeled off or the display of the decorative seal may be thin due to the collision of the game ball with the front surface of the decorative component 60. However, since a predetermined display shape is formed on the front side of the decorative part 60 by fitting the protrusion 84a of the box case 84 to the opening 83a of the front decoration cover 83, The above concerns can be resolved.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be illustrated with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 28 and 31, in the third embodiment, the display forming portion DA emits light in a front view of the transparent partition member 40 by light incident from the lower end surface 40 </ b> B of the transparent partition member 40. It is what is displayed. Other configurations are the same as those of the second embodiment.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 30, a pair of support pieces 26 b that support both ends of the LED mounting substrate 87 are provided at a position below the stage 26 in the front structure 21 of the decorative frame 24. As shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, the LED mounting substrate 87 supported by the support piece 26b has a plurality of (for example, eight) LEDs 88 (light emitting diodes 88) arranged side by side on the front side, and the back side. A plurality of (for example, eight) LEDs 88 are arranged side by side.

  The stage 26 is illuminated from below by the LEDs 88 in the front side row of the LED mounting substrate 87, the stage 26 emits light, and the stage sphere becomes easy to see. It should be noted that the light emitted from the stage 26 may be a constant light emission, or that the game ball has entered the entrance 25 of the decorative frame 24 as in the second embodiment described above is detected by the entrance detection sensor 25b. In this case, light may be emitted for a certain period (for example, a period during which the game ball rolls on the stage 26). The period may be various periods such as an expected period during which the game ball rolls on the stage 26, an actual measurement period, and a maximum rolling period.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 30, the LEDs 88 in the back row of the LED mounting substrate 87 are positioned close to the lower end surface 40 </ b> B of the transparent partition member 40. The effect control board 73 (see FIG. 12) controls the light emission of the LEDs 88 in the back row of the LED mounting board 87 when the display effect in the image display means 22 is, for example, a jackpot effect. Light is incident on the lower end surface 40 </ b> B of the transparent partition member 40.

  As shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the transparent partition member 40 that is a light guide plate has a display forming portion DA that is lit and displayed in a front view of the transparent partition member 40 by light incident on the lower end surface 40B. For example, it is provided on the back side. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 32, the display forming unit DA has a plurality of pieces of information corresponding to the “big hit” characters shown in FIG. 31 as predetermined information in the upper half of the transparent partition member 40 on the back side. A small concave portion 89 is formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 32, the plurality of minute concave portions 89 are deepened as the distance from the LED 88 increases, and the light incident in the transparent partition member 40 is close to the upper end of the transparent partition member 40. It also reaches the minute recesses 89 and reflects to the front side of the transparent partition member 40. It should be noted that characters other than the “big hit” may be adopted as the predetermined information, or a predetermined pattern (for example, various patterns such as a flower pattern or a bubble pattern) may be used instead of this information. Alternatively, both predetermined information and a predetermined pattern may be employed.

  That is, the light incident on the lower end surface 40B of the transparent partition member 40 travels through the transparent partition member 40 and is reflected to the front side by the minute recesses 89 that constitute the display forming portion DA, so that FIG. As shown, the front side of the transparent partition member 40 is in a light emission state displaying “big hit”. In a state where light does not enter the lower end surface 40B of the transparent partition member 40, the “big hit” of the transparent partition member 40 remains non-luminous and transparent as shown in FIG. The back side of the display forming part DA is also visible.

  The display forming unit DA may be a character, figure, or the like other than “big hit”, and the effect control board 73 (see FIG. 12) emits the display forming unit DA according to the content of the predetermined display effect in the image display means 22. It may be displayed.

  As described above, in the non-incident state, the transparent partition member 40 remains transparent without being displayed by the display forming unit DA, and the rear portion of the transparent partition member 40 can be visually recognized in front view. And when it is in an incident state (light is incident on the end face of the transparent partition member 40), the display forming part DA of the transparent partition member 40 can be luminescently displayed so as to be visible in a front view of the transparent partition member 40, Decorative properties can be demonstrated. Therefore, the pachinko machine provided with the transparent partition member 40 which can visually recognize the back part of the transparent partition member 40 in front view and can exhibit decorativeness can be provided. That is, a pachinko machine with excellent decorativeness can be provided.

  Further, when the light emission intensity of the LED 88 is set to a predetermined value or more, the light emission intensity of the display forming part DA in the transparent partition member 40 becomes high, and it is possible to prevent the back from being seen through the position of the display forming part DA. It is. In addition, in the front view of the transparent partition member 40, the portions other than the display forming portion DA are not emitting light or slightly emitting light even in the light emitting state of the LED 88, and the back thereof can be visually recognized through the portion.

  Further, the light emission display by the display forming part DA of the transparent partition member 40 can be performed in the vicinity of the stage 26 that is often watched by the player, and the transparent partition member 40 while watching the rolling of the game ball on the stage 26. It is easy to transmit the decoration display to the player.

  In addition, as the display formation part DA, all or a part of the front surface of the transparent partition member 40 may emit light only with a predetermined color (entire light emission or partial light emission with a predetermined color). Specifically, a plurality of minute recesses 89 may be formed in the rear region corresponding to all or part of the front surface of the transparent partition member 40. In the third embodiment, characters are displayed. However, characters, figures, symbols, or a combination thereof may be displayed by light emission. For example, in addition to “big hit”, various character information such as “chance”, “reach”, animals and plants such as “butterflies”, “fish”, “flowers”, or natural objects and creations such as robots are realistic or abstract. It is also possible to use a combination of these figures, various symbols representing characters, models, company names, and the like. Further, the number of reserved balls (special reserved number or normal reserved number) may be displayed. Further, a gaming state (a special profit state, a probability variation gaming state, a normal gaming state that is not certain probability variation, or the like) may be displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 30, since the upper end of the transparent partition member 40 is higher than the lower side of the display screen 22 a of the image display means 22, the upper end of the transparent partition member 40 is the display screen in the front view of the game board 11. It exists in the position which overlaps with the lower side part which is a part of 22a.

  Therefore, in the non-incidence state, the transparent partition member 40 remains transparent without being displayed by the display forming unit DA, and a part of the display screen 22a behind it is visible through the transparent partition member 40. When the incident state is reached (light is incident on the end face of the transparent partition member 40), the display forming part DA of the transparent partition member 40 can be displayed with light emission, and the light emission display is superimposed on a part of the display screen 22a. The display can be combined, the decorative display can be integrated with the display screen 22a, and the decorativeness is excellent.

  In addition, the light emission display by the display forming part DA of the transparent partition member 40 can be performed at locations within the range of the display screen 22a and the stage 26 that are often watched by the player, and the game balls on the display screen 22a and the stage 26 are displayed. The decorative display of the transparent partition member 40 can be viewed while watching the rolling, and the decorative display can be easily transmitted to the player.

  Further, according to the jackpot display effect (game content), the transparent partition member 40 is changed from the transparent state (non-light emitting state) shown in FIG. 33 (a) to the decorative display state (light emitting display state) shown in FIG. 33 (b). Since the effect control board 73 (control means) to be changed is provided, it is possible to perform a decoration display in conjunction with the game content, and to further improve the fun of the game by the decoration display of the transparent partition member 40.

  The display forming unit DA is, for example, predetermined character information (“big hit”), and the display information in a part of the display screen 22a that overlaps the transparent partition member 40 or a part that does not overlap is also the same display information (similar display information). After the display information on the display screen 22a is displayed, the display is erased (or may be maintained) and the character information is displayed on the transparent partition member 40 by light emission. A display effect can be performed as if the character has moved forward. Further, the display forming unit DA is information related to the display information on the display screen 22a (for example, the display screen 22a is “big hit” and the transparent partition member 40 is “probable big hit”). "Display" can be performed in which the display is changed to the "probability big hit" display of the transparent partition member 40.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 34, a fastening means 90 for fastening the transparent partition member 40 to the stage 26 is provided, and the LED mounting substrate 87 has the LED 88 facing the lower end surface 40 </ b> B of the transparent partition member 40. You may make it fasten to the stage 26 by the fastening means 90 with the division member 40. FIG. Specifically, through-holes 87a and 40p communicating with each other at the center of the same opening are formed in the upper portion of the LED mounting substrate 87 and the lower end side of the transparent partition member 40, respectively. A screw 90a inserted in order of the through hole 87a of the LED mounting substrate 87 and the through hole 40p of the transparent partition member 40 is screwed into the screw hole 26c of the stage 26, whereby the LED mounting substrate 87 and the transparent partition member 40 are moved to the stage 26. It is tightened together. In this case, a transparent partition member mounting screw for fastening the transparent partition member 40 to the stage 26 is used as a common fastening means 90 (for example, joint fastening) for fastening the LED mounting substrate 87 and the transparent partition member 40 to the stage 26 together. It can be utilized as the screw 90a), and a screw (substrate mounting screw) for attaching only the LED mounting substrate 87 to the stage 26 can be eliminated, and the number of components can be reduced.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 35A, in addition to the LED 88 (first light source) of the LED mounting substrate 87 for making light incident on the lower end surface 40B as the first end surface of the transparent partition member 40, the transparent partition member 40 includes LED 88 (second light source) of LED mounting substrate 87 for making light incident on right end surface 40R (second end surface) orthogonal to lower end surface 40B of 40, and transparent partition member 40 has incident light on lower end surface 40B. The front of the transparent partition member 40 is displayed by the first display forming part DA1 ("big hit" in FIG. 35) that is lit and displayed by L1 so as to be visible in front view of the transparent partition member 40 and the incident light L2 on the right end surface 40R. A second display forming part DA2 (“probability change” in FIG. 35) that emits light so as to be visible visually can be provided.

  For example, the first display formation portion DA1 ("big hit" in FIG. 35) is configured to receive the light L1 from the LED 88 (first light source) traveling in the transparent partition member 40 as shown in FIGS. 35 (b) and 36. The reflection surface 89a of the minute recess 89 is formed so as to be parallel to the light L2 from the LED 88 (second light source) that intersects and travels through the transparent partition member 40, and the light L1 forms the first display. The “big hit” is emitted and displayed by being reflected toward the front surface side of the transparent partition member 40 by the reflecting surface 89a of the minute concave portion 89 constituting the portion DA1, but the light L1 is a minute amount constituting the second display forming portion DA2. Since it is parallel to the reflecting surface 89b of the recess 89 and is not reflected, the second display forming portion DA2 (“probability change” in FIG. 35) is not lit and displayed by the light L1. As shown in FIGS. 35 (b) and 36, the second display formation part DA2 crosses the light L2 from the LED 88 (second light source) traveling through the transparent partition member 40, and the transparent partition member. The reflection surface 89b of the minute concave portion 89 is formed so as to be parallel to the light L1 from the LED 88 (first light source) traveling through the light 40, and the light L2 constitutes the second display forming portion DA2. Reflection toward the front side of the transparent partition member 40 is reflected by the reflecting surface 89b of the concave portion 89, so that “probability” is emitted and displayed. However, the light L2 is reflected by the reflective surface 89a of the minute concave portion 89 constituting the first display forming portion DA1. The first display formation part DA1 ("big hit" in FIG. 35) is not lit and displayed by the light L2. When the light L1 is incident on the lower end surface 40B and the light L2 is incident on the right end surface 40R, the second display forming portion DA2 (“probability” in FIG. 35) and the first display forming portion DA1 (“big hit” in FIG. 35). )) Are both displayed.

  As described above, by changing the incident end face on the transparent partition member 40, that is, by changing the incidence on the lower end face 40B and the incidence on the right end face 40R, different light emission displays can be performed, and space saving is achieved. In addition, it is possible to perform decoration display using the transparent partition member 40 having excellent decorativeness.

  As shown in FIGS. 37 and 38, the transparent partition member 40 includes a plurality of transparent light guide plates (first to third transparent light guide plates 91a to 91c in order from the front) each having the display forming portion DA formed thereon. Provided, the first to third transparent light guide plates 91a to 91c are juxtaposed in the depth direction so as to overlap in front view, and the first to third rows of LEDs 88 for each end face of the first to third transparent light guide plates 91a to 91c. The LED mounting board 87 may be disposed so that the (light source) is positioned, and the lighting of each LED 88 may be controlled by the effect control board 73 (control means) shown in FIG. For example, each display formation part DA of the 1st-3rd transparent light-guide plates 91a-91c is the same display thing (for example, butterfly), and suppose that each is formed in a different position by front view (1st transparent). (It is assumed that a butterfly is formed at a lower left position in the light guide plate 91a, a substantially central position in the second transparent light guide plate 91b, and an upper right position in the third transparent light guide plate 91c).

  As shown in FIGS. 32 (b) and (c), when the LEDs 88 in the first row located on the foremost side of the LED mounting substrate 87 emit light, the first transparent light guide located on the foremost side is emitted. The light is incident on the lower end surface of the light plate 91a, and the display forming part DA of the first transparent light guide plate 91a is lit and displayed. Next, the LEDs 88 in the second row are caused to emit light to display and display the display forming part DA of the second transparent light guide plate 91b, and the LEDs 88 in the first row are turned off. Next, the LEDs 88 in the third row are caused to emit light to display and display the display forming part DA of the third transparent light guide plate 91c, and the LEDs 88 in the second row are turned off. In this way, the first to third transparent light guide plates 91a to 91c are sequentially turned on and off, so that, for example, the butterfly moves dynamically in the in-plane direction (lower left to upper right) of the transparent partition member 40. A luminescent display can be obtained.

  In addition, as an example different from the above, each display forming part DA of the first to third transparent light guide plates 91a to 91c displays the same display object, and the closer it is to the near side at the same position in front view. When each of the transparent partition members 40 is formed so as to increase in size, dynamic light-emitting display that moves in the front-rear direction of the transparent partition member 40 can be performed.

  Moreover, you may employ | adopt a segment symbol as the display formation part DA of the transparent division member 40 so that it may demonstrate below. As shown in FIG. 39, the image display means 22 starts the change display of the symbols in the effect symbol display means 35 triggered by the establishment of a predetermined change start condition (entering the special symbol start means 16). In this case, the result of symbol change stoppage is displayed. The display forming part DA of the transparent partition member 40 is a related symbol that is related to the symbol displayed on the effect symbol display means 35. The effect control board 73 (display control means) emits light by the detachment fluctuation display result of the effect symbol display means 35 and the display forming part DA of the transparent partition member 40 when a predetermined condition is satisfied (special reach effect is established). Control may be made so that a predetermined winning result is displayed with the related symbols made.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 40 and 41, the transparent partition member 40 has a transparent light guide plate so that an n-segment pattern (n is a natural number, and in this embodiment is “7”) can be displayed. The transparent light guide plates 91a to 91g each have one of the seven segment parts constituting the seven segments as the display forming part DA. Can be mentioned.

  As shown in FIG. 41 (b), the transparent partition member 40 is formed by juxtaposing the first to seventh transparent light guide plates 91a to 91g in the depth direction in order from the front so as to overlap with each other. The first transparent light guide plate 91a has an upper segment as the display forming portion DA, the second transparent light guide plate 91b has a left upper segment as the display forming portion DA, and the third transparent light guide plate 91c has a display forming portion DA. Of the fourth transparent light guide plate 91d, the center segment as the display forming portion DA, the fifth transparent light guide plate 91e as the lower left segment as the display forming portion DA, and the sixth transparent light guide plate 91f. Is provided with a lower right segment as the display forming part DA, and the seventh transparent light guide plate 91g is provided with a lower segment as the display forming part DA. As shown in FIG. 40, the LED mounting substrate 87 is disposed so that the first to seventh rows of LEDs 88 (light sources) are positioned on the respective end faces of the transparent light guide plates 91a to 91g. By performing lighting control of each LED 88 by the effect control board 73 (control means) shown in FIG. 12, symbols indicating numbers “0” to “9” can be displayed in a variable manner. In addition, when light is incident on all of the first to seventh transparent light guide plates 91a to 91g, the number “8” is displayed by light emission as shown in FIG. Moreover, when no light is incident on any of the first to seventh transparent light guide plates 91a to 91g, the back can be visually recognized without light emission.

  In this case, it is predetermined by the symbol variation display result in the effect symbol display means 35 of the image display means 22 and the related symbols of the transparent partition member 40 (the symbols displayed by light emission by the first to seventh transparent light guide plates 91a to 91g). Can be displayed, and the fun of the game can be further improved. In other words, even when the symbol variation display result of the effect symbol display means 35 is an outlier result (for example, when “7, 6, 7” is out of reach), the first to seventh components constituting the transparent partition member 40 are included. A related symbol (for example, “7”) is lit and displayed by the transparent light guide plates 91 a to 91 g, and a disengaged symbol (the reach symbol “7”) of the effect symbol display means 35 and the related symbol “7” of the transparent partition member 40 are displayed. In the case of configuring a predetermined winning symbol display mode (a display mode in which “7, 7, 7” is aligned), it is possible to give a gaming state (special profit state) advantageous to the player, The interest can be improved.

  In addition, by controlling the incidence on the seven transparent light guide plates (first to seventh transparent light guide plates 91a to 91g), various symbols such as Arabic numerals and alphabets can be displayed in the light emission mode of the transparent partition member 40. It is also possible to display the variation of the symbols only with the transparent partition member 40. For example, if there are 7 segments, Arabic numerals and alphabets from 0 to 9 can be displayed in a luminous manner. In addition, Latin characters can be displayed by using 14 segments, and Thai characters and Persian characters can also be displayed by using 16 segments. Therefore, in addition to normal symbols (numeric symbols), novel Latin characters, Thai characters, etc., which are less familiar, can be displayed as symbols, so that a pachinko machine capable of displaying novel symbols can be provided.

  Further, even when the symbol variation display result by the image display means 22 is a detachment result (for example, reach detachment), the same symbol as the symbol (reach symbol) arranged in the reach display is displayed as a related symbol of the transparent partition member 40. Any reach symbol can be displayed as a related symbol, and a jackpot display mode can be generated for any loss of reach.

  As shown in FIG. 39, the display forming unit DA of the transparent partition member 40 corresponds to a position (display screen 22a) in the transparent partition member 40 corresponding to the last variation row (for example, middle symbol row) of the display screen 22a of the image display means 22. In the vicinity of the middle symbol row). Therefore, since the display forming part DA (the same symbol as the reach symbol) can be emitted and displayed at the position of the transparent partition member 40 located immediately below the last variation column (middle symbol column) of the display screen 22a, the image display means 22 It is possible to easily display whether or not the reach disengagement is aligned at the display forming portion DA (reach symbol) of the transparent partition member 40. Note that the display forming portion DA may be formed at an arbitrary position of the transparent partition member 40.

  Further, as an example different from the above, the display forming part DA of the transparent partition member 40 may be displayed in a planar light emission uniformly with a predetermined color. As shown in FIGS. 42 and 43 (a), the transparent partition member 40 may have an upper half portion on the back side as an inclined surface (back inclined surface 40r) so that the upper half portion is tapered in a side view. In this case, as shown in FIG. 43 (a), light incident from the lower end surface 40B of the transparent partition member 40 travels inside and is reflected to the front side by the rear inclined surface 40r, so that the transparent partition member Forty display forming portions DA (a front side region on which the rear inclined surface 40r is projected in the transparent partition member 40) are displayed in a planar form. In a state where light is not incident on the lower end surface 40B of the transparent partition member 40, the display forming part DA of the transparent partition member 40 does not emit light, and the back side thereof is visible.

  43 (b) and 43 (c), the transparent partition member 40 includes a plurality of transparent light guide plates (first to fourth transparent light guide plates 91a in order from the front) each having the display forming portion DA formed thereon. 91d), the first to fourth transparent light guide plates 91a to 91d are juxtaposed in the depth direction so as to overlap with each other in front view, and the first to fourth transparent light guide plates 91a to 91d are arranged for each end face. The LED mounting substrate 87 may be disposed so that the fourth row of LEDs 88 (light sources) are positioned, and each LED 88 may be controlled to be turned on by the effect control substrate 73. For example, the display forming portions DA of the first to fourth transparent light guide plates 91a to 91d have a horizontally long rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and are arranged in order from top to bottom.

  As shown in FIGS. 43B and 43C, when the LEDs 88 in the first row located on the foremost side of the LED mounting substrate 87 are caused to emit light, the first transparent light guide located on the foremost side is emitted. The light is incident on the lower end surface of the light plate 91a, and the display forming part DA of the first transparent light guide plate 91a is lit and displayed. That is, the horizontally long rectangular region at the uppermost end of the transparent partition member 40 is displayed in a light emitting manner. Next, the LEDs 88 in the second row are caused to emit light to display and display the display forming part DA of the second transparent light guide plate 91b, and the LEDs 88 in the first row are turned off. That is, the second horizontally long rectangular area from the upper end of the transparent partition member 40 is displayed by light emission. Next, the LEDs 88 in the third row are caused to emit light to display and display the display forming part DA of the third transparent light guide plate 91c, and the LEDs 88 in the second row are turned off. That is, the third horizontally long rectangular area from the upper end of the transparent partition member 40 is lit and displayed. Next, the LEDs 88 in the fourth row are caused to emit light to display and display the display forming portion DA of the fourth transparent light guide plate 91d, and the LEDs 88 in the third row are turned off. In other words, the fourth horizontally long rectangular area from the upper end of the transparent partition member 40 is displayed by light emission. In this manner, the first to fourth transparent light guide plates 91a to 91d are sequentially turned on and off, so that the horizontally elongated rectangular area of the transparent partition member 40 moves from top to bottom. It can be.

  Moreover, it is good also as the whole light emission display by the 1st-4th transparent light-guide plates 91a-91d by lighting the 1st-4th transparent light-guide plates 91a-91d in order, and maintaining the lighting.

  The LED mounting substrate 87 may be attached to the rear structure 23 (the transparent partition member may be attached to either the rear structure 23 or the front structure 21). In this case, since it is not necessary to pass wiring on the front structure 21 side, the front structure 21 can be easily removed when the design of the front structure 21 is changed and reused.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention.

  Note that the decorative component 43 described above has a length extending in front of and behind the transparent partition member 40 as in the first embodiment, and is positioned on the front side of the transparent partition member 40 as in the second embodiment. Although the depth length of the stage 26 is assumed, it may be at least thicker than the transparent partition member 40, or may protrude forward from the stage 26 and be larger than the depth length of the stage 26. .

  Further, as the stage 26, not the center case 14, but a configuration in which it is arranged directly at a part of the front peripheral edge of the mounting hole 11 a of the game board 11, or game parts are arranged at a part of the front peripheral part. It is good also as a structure which installs and provides the stage 26 in this game component.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the transparent partition member 40 includes a space forming member (for example, the rear structure 23) that forms a space (a storage space in which the decorative component 43 is positioned) located behind the stage 26. The stage 26 and the rear structure 23 are partitioned so as to prevent the game ball rolling on the stage 26 from entering the rear structure 23. However, the present invention is not limited to this. And a viewing space (a size corresponding to the display screen 22a) located in front of the display screen 22a of the image display means 22, and a storage space for the movable member 58 as a movable ornament, for example. A gaming part such as a center case provided with an opening that forms at least one space with the movable space of the movable member 58 may be used.

  The transparent partition member 40 of the first embodiment is configured so that light is incident as in the third embodiment (that is, the light guide plate), and a predetermined operation ( For example, a display forming portion DA representing at least one of a character or a figure that prompts the user to shake his / her hand toward the non-contact sensor 50 is formed, and the light guide plate is used for the sensor effect using the non-contact sensor 50 of the decorative component 43. The light from the LED 88 is incident on the end face (for example, the lower end face 40B) to cause the display forming part DA of the light guide plate to emit and display, thereby encouraging the player to shake his hand toward the non-contact sensor 50. Also good.

  In this case, the position of the non-contact sensor 50 in the transparent partition member 40 can be suggested by the light emission display of the display forming part DA of the transparent partition member 40, and the position of the non-contact sensor 50 can be easily understood. A person can reliably operate toward the non-contact sensor 50.

  The non-contact sensor 50 may be disposed at any position as long as the sensor surface 52 is inclined toward the sensor surface projection region E2 other than the display screen projection region E1 of the glass plate 9 on the rear side of the glass plate 9. For example, it may be arranged on the upper side, right and left of the image display means 22, or may be arranged on the game board 11 other than the center case 14. Further, the non-contact sensor 50 is a movable type that moves in the transparent partition member 40 (for example, a first detection position that is a left end portion of a long hole portion that is formed horizontally in the transparent partition member 40 and a first detection position that is a right end portion thereof). 2 detection positions may be used, and the number of arrangements may be two or more.

  With regard to the sensor effect, in the embodiment, the specific effect is executed after the end of the sensor effect period based on the detection state of the non-contact sensor 50 during the sensor effect period.
