"Second decoration unit configuration"

18 to 35 show the configuration of the second decoration unit 40.
The second decoration unit 40 has a structure in which a decoration logo representing a logo according to the model is decorated with light. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the second decoration unit 40 is attached to and detached from the region above the through hole 13 of the frame portion 12. It is attached as possible.

  In the present embodiment, the second decoration unit 40 includes a base member 41, a lens member 42, a diffusion sheet 43, a gradation sheet 44, an LED substrate 45, and a substrate attachment member 46.

  The base member 41 is provided with a synthetic resin material in a predetermined shape, for example, in this embodiment, the outer portion 41a along the upper region of the through hole 13 of the frame portion 12, the back surface portion 41b, and the back surface portion 41b. It is comprised from the opening part 41c for fitting the lens member 42. FIG.

  At predetermined positions on the left and right side surfaces of the outer portion 41a, there are substantially arrowhead-shaped elastic locking pieces 41d and 41d which can be locked with predetermined locking holes 12a and 12a provided in the frame portion 12 with elastic locking pieces. The tips 41e, 41e are projected so as to face the depth direction.

  The back surface portion 41b is formed in an inclined shape so that the lower end side is positioned in the depth direction with respect to the upper end side, and the front surface region excluding the region where the opening portion 41c is disposed is formed in a step shape.

The opening 41c is opened in a shape that matches the shape of the lens member 42, and has a structure that bulges forward at a predetermined position on the front surface of the back surface portion 41b.
In this embodiment, the opening 41c has an opening 410c having a character shape of "TACO" and "SLOT", and an opening 411c having a symbol shape expressing "octopus" between the character openings 410c and 410c. It has become.
As shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 35, the opening 410c having the character shapes of “TACO” and “SLOT” is formed substantially vertically above, but has a shape curved in the depth direction below the center. ing. Moreover, the opening 411c expressing “octopus” is formed substantially vertically from the upper end to the lower end.

The reason why the opening 41c has a shape that bulges forward is to give the decoration such that the letters "TACO" and "SLOT" and the symbol part of "Tako" are raised forward by bulging forward. This is to solve the problems of the rear space when the lens member 42 is fitted, the sink and warpage at the time of molding, and the strength of each member.
That is, when the opening 41c does not bulge forward, the thickness of the lens member 42 must be reduced. In this case, a certain thickness is required to ensure the shape of the opening 41c. Must be secured. Then, for example, it becomes necessary to cut out a part between “T” and “A” of “TACO” of the lens member 42, and the lens member 42 has problems of sink marks, warpage, and strength. Therefore, by bulging the opening 41c forward, it is possible to ensure the shape of the opening, as well as to secure the thickness of the lens member 42, and to solve the problems of strength improvement and sinking and warping. .

The lens member 42 is formed in a predetermined shape from a resin material having translucency. In this embodiment, the character portion 42a of "TACO", the character portion 42b of "SLOT", and the space between the characters 42a and 42b. And the symbol portion 42c of “octopus” shown in FIG.
The lens member 42 includes a front surface portion 42d representing characters and designs and a side surface portion 42e raised from the periphery of the front surface portion 42d, and a region surrounded by the side surface portion 42e is a concave space 42h.
The lens member 42 can be subjected to predetermined known diffusion processing such as predetermined light diffusion processing, for example, diamond cutting processing or embossing processing. As long as it is a resin material having translucency, a colorless and transparent material as well as a colored and transparent material can be employed.

  The diffusion sheet 43 is formed in a thin shape that is substantially the same as the front view shape of the lens member 42 so that light from an LED (not shown) arranged on the LED substrate 45 is evenly irradiated onto the lens member 42. Thus, the LED 43 can be prevented from being visually recognized by the sheet 43, and the decoration effect can be improved.

  The gradation sheet 44 can exhibit an effect of giving various colors by one light source by increasing the color of a part of the sheet, for example.

  The diffusion sheet 43 and the gradation sheet 44 corresponding to “TACO” and “SLOT” are provided with elastic engagement pieces 43 a and 44 a at the outer ends, respectively. The engagement pieces 43 a and 44 a are outside the lens member 42. Elasticity is obtained by engaging the engagement holes 42f and 42f provided at the end portions with elasticity and projecting the inner end portions of the diffusion sheet 43 and the gradation sheet 44 at predetermined positions on the inner surface of the front surface portion 42d of the lens member 42. The engagement pieces 42g and 42g are elastically engaged and accommodated in the concave space 42h.

  A plurality of predetermined LEDs are mounted on the LED board 45, and the LEDs are arranged corresponding to the respective characters and tako symbols formed by the lens member 42.

  The board attaching member 46 attaches and fixes the LED board 45 so as to be detachable integrally so that the mounted LED faces the lens member 42. And this board | substrate attachment member 46 is integrally fixed to the base member 41 so that attachment or detachment is possible.

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that decorates and produces decoration members provided on a game board by light from light emitting means.

  For example, in a ball game machine, a player operates a launch handle to drive a game ball from the launch area to the game area, and the game ball rolls down the game area to win a predetermined prize device. However, it is difficult to improve the player's interest by simply obtaining the prize ball.

Therefore, some recent gaming machines have various tastes in order to improve the interest of the player.

A reflective surface portion 37 that is disposed on the back side of the decorative member 34 and reflects the light emitted from the light emitting means 35a toward the decorative member 34;
The light emitting means 35 a is a gaming machine that is arranged on the back surface of the decorative member 34 so as to emit light toward the reflecting surface portion 37.

  According to this, the light emitting means (LED) 35a is arranged on the back side of the decorative member 34, and the light emitting means 35a is not directly recognized by the player, and the decorative member 34 can be decorated and produced with light. The decoration effect can be improved.

  Further, the reflecting surface portion 37 is a gaming machine characterized in that a predetermined area facing the decorative member 34 is subjected to rough surface processing (texture processing) 37e.

  According to this, since the light is irregularly reflected at the roughened surface 37e portion, it is difficult to visually recognize the light emitting means 35a through the reflecting surface portion 37, and the decoration effect can be further improved.

  In addition, the reflective surface portion 37 is a gaming machine characterized by being formed in a concave shape.

  According to this, the decoration effect can be increased by diversifying the angle of the reflected light by making the reflecting surface portion 37 concave.

  The reflecting surface portion 37 is a gaming machine characterized in that a plurality of concave portions 37c are formed on the surface.

  According to this, by forming the plurality of concave portions 37c on the surface of the reflection surface portion 37, the angles of light reflected on the reflection surface portion 37 can be diversified, and the decoration effect can be increased.

  In addition, the gaming machine is characterized in that at least the opposing surface of the decorative member 34 in the reflective surface portion 37 is plated.

  According to this, it becomes easy to improve the light diffusion effect.

  Further, the game board 6 is formed of a transparent member at least a part of the back side of which is visible, and the decoration member 34 is arranged on the back side of the game board 6 and visible from the front side of the game board 6. This is a gaming machine characterized by the installation.

  According to this, since the visibility of the light emission means 35a becomes more difficult as it is farther from the player's viewpoint, the decoration effect can be improved. Further, since the interference with the game ball is less than that provided on the front side of the game board 6, the degree of freedom in design increases.

Further, a light emitting means mounting board (LED board) 35b provided with the light emitting means 35a toward the reflecting surface portion 37 is provided on the back surface of the decorative member 34,
A wiring for connecting the light emitting means mounting board 35b and the light emission control board for controlling the light emission of the light emitting means 35a is extended from a position facing the center of the back surface of the decorative member 34 on the light emitting means mounting board 35b.
The reflective surface portion 37 is a gaming machine characterized in that an opening portion 37f for guiding the wiring to the back surface side of the reflective surface portion 37 is provided at a position facing the wiring extension position.

  According to this, since the visibility of the wiring by the player can be made difficult, the decoration effect can be improved.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that improves the aesthetic effect of the decorative member and enhances the decorative effect by making it difficult to visually recognize the light emitting means that produces the decorative member provided on the game board with light.
