The out port 16 is arranged at the lowermost part of the game area 25. Note that the game balls that have flowed into the out port 16 are collected at a game hall such as a pachinko hall in which the gaming machine 1 is installed.

Below, the structure regarding the game board 10 is demonstrated using FIG.5 and FIG.6.
In FIG. 5 and subsequent figures, the shape of the game board 10 is simplified for convenience of explanation.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a cell sheet 30, a sheet support frame 40, and a drive mechanism 50 are provided behind (backward) the game board 10.

  The cell sheet 30 decorates the game board 10 as a whole, and places the decoration in the gap between the members attached to the game board 10 so as to shield the game board 10 from being visible to the player. It is a member. The cell sheet 30 is formed in a thin sheet shape. The cell sheet 30 is formed to have substantially the same shape as the game board 10 in a front view. A decoration 31 is applied to the front surface (front surface) of the cell sheet 30. In the present embodiment, the decoration 31 is assumed to be composed of a character string “AAA” applied to the lower part of the cell sheet 30. The cell sheet 30 is arranged on the back side (immediately rear) of the game board 10 without being fixed to the game board 10. Thus, when the game board 10 is viewed from the player side (front side), the decoration 31 of the cell sheet 30 can be visually recognized through the transparent game board 10, so that the decoration 31 appears to have been applied to the game board 10 ( (See FIG. 8).

  The sheet support frame 40 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is a member for supporting the cell sheet 30. The sheet support frame 40 is formed so as to be a frame body having a rectangular shape in front view (that is, a shape in which a central portion of a member having a rectangular plate shape in front view is opened largely and only an outer peripheral portion is left). The sheet support frame 40 is formed so as to be substantially the same as the shape of the outer peripheral portion of the cell sheet 30 in a front view. A rack gear portion 41 in which a plurality of teeth are arranged in the left-right direction is formed at the upper end portion of the back surface (back surface) of the sheet support frame 40. The outer periphery of the cell sheet 30 is fixed to the front surface of the sheet support frame 40 by an appropriate method (for example, a fastener such as a screw). Thus, by fixing the cell sheet 30 to the sheet support frame 40, the cell sheet 30 can be supported without sagging.

  The drive mechanism 50 is for moving the cell sheet 30. The drive mechanism 50 is disposed behind the upper end portion of the sheet support frame 40. The drive mechanism 50 mainly includes a motor 51, an output shaft 52, and a pinion gear 53.

  The motor 51 is a drive source for moving the cell sheet 30. The motor 51 is disposed on the rear upper side of the upper end portion of the sheet support frame 40. The motor 51 is connected to control means (not shown), and the operation (rotation direction, rotation speed, rotation timing, etc.) of the motor 51 is controlled by the control means.

  The output shaft 52 is a shaft for taking out the driving force of the motor 51. The output shaft 52 is provided downward from the bottom surface of the motor 51.

  The pinion gear 53 is for transmitting the driving force from the motor 51 to the seat support frame 40. The pinion gear 53 is fixed to the lower end portion of the output shaft 52. The pinion gear 53 is meshed with the rack gear portion 41 of the seat support frame 40.

  Next, how the cell sheet 30 is moved by the drive mechanism 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8.

  When the motor 51 is driven by the control means, the driving force of the motor 51 is transmitted to the pinion gear 53 via the output shaft 52, and the pinion gear 53 rotates. When the pinion gear 53 rotates, the seat support frame 40 moves to the left or right via the rack gear portion 41 meshed with the pinion gear 53.

  Specifically, when the pinion gear 53 rotates clockwise in plan view, the seat support frame 40 moves to the left with respect to the game board 10 (see FIG. 7A). In this case, when the game board 10 is viewed from the player side, the decoration 31 applied to the game board 10 appears to have changed (that is, moved to the left) (see FIG. 8A).

  When the pinion gear 53 rotates counterclockwise in plan view, the seat support frame 40 moves to the right with respect to the game board 10 (see FIG. 7B). In this case, when the game board 10 is viewed from the player side, the decoration 31 applied to the game board 10 appears to have changed (that is, moved to the right) (see FIG. 8B).

As described above, the gaming machine 1 (pachinko gaming machine) according to the present embodiment has the gaming area 25 formed on the front side, the transparency, and the gaming board 10 capable of seeing the back side from the front side. In addition to the decoration 31 being provided, the back side of the game board 10 is provided with a cell sheet 30 arranged to be movable relative to the game board 10 and a drive mechanism 50 for moving the cell sheet 30. It is.
With this configuration, the decoration 31 that appears to be applied to the game board 10 can be changed (moved) by moving the cell sheet 30, and the player who visually recognizes the decoration 31 is fresh. Can give an impression.
Further, since the cell sheet 30 is not fixed to the game board 10, the cell sheet 30 can be easily replaced. Thereby, it becomes possible to easily manufacture the gaming machines 1 having different decoration contents of the cell sheet 30.

  The timing for moving the seat support frame 40 (that is, changing the decoration 31) is, for example, when a notice is generated, when the internal state of the gaming machine 1 (during big hit, short time, during certain change, etc.) changes It is possible to arbitrarily set, for example, when the mode regarding changes to a specific mode.

  Further, the configurations of the game board 10, the cell sheet 30, the sheet support frame 40, and the drive mechanism 50 are not limited to the present embodiment. In other words, the configuration is not limited as long as the cell sheet 30 can be moved relative to the game board 10.

  Further, the decoration 31 applied to the cell sheet 30 is not limited to this embodiment. That is, the decoration 31 gives a predetermined impression to the player and shields the structure inside the gaming machine 1 disposed behind the decoration 31 so that the player does not see it. Therefore, as long as the object can be achieved, the position and range where the decoration 31 is applied and the content of the decoration 31 are not limited. For example, the decoration 31 can be applied over the entire surface of the cell sheet 30. Further, the decoration 31 is not a character string but may be an arbitrary character or color such as a person, an animal, a landscape, or a symbol.

  In the present embodiment, the cell sheet 30 and the sheet support frame 40 are formed so as to have substantially the same shape as the game board 10 in a front view, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the left and right widths of the cell sheet 30 and the sheet support frame 40 can be configured to be smaller than the left and right width of the game board 10. Thereby, when the sheet support frame 40 moves to the left and right, the sheet support frame 40 and the cell sheet 30 can be prevented from projecting in the left-right direction from the game board 10 (or the projection amount can be reduced).

  In addition, when the sheet support frame 40 moves to the left and right, the region X (see FIG. 7) in the vicinity of the left and right ends of the sheet support frame 40 and the state where the sheet support frame 40 and the cell sheet 30 exist are not present. The state is switched alternately. Therefore, it is desirable to arrange the cell sheet 30 and the sheet support frame 40 so that the area X is located outside the game area 25 (an area where decoration by the cell sheet 30 is not necessary).

Below, the modification of the structure regarding the game board 10 is demonstrated.
First, a first modified example (second embodiment) will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the first embodiment (see FIG. 8), the decoration 31 is moved and changed by moving the cell sheet 30. However, in the second embodiment, the decoration 31 is moved by moving the cell sheet 30. Change the contents of to another.

  Specifically, in the second embodiment, the decoration 31 is applied to the cell sheet 30 using a lenticular. Here, the lenticular is a printed matter applied using a lenticular lens so that the content of the decoration changes depending on the viewing angle. In the present embodiment, when the cell sheet 30 is visually recognized from the right front, the decoration 31 appears as a character string “AAA”, and when the cell sheet 30 is viewed from the left front, the decoration 31 appears as a character string “BBB”. Configure as follows.

  In such a configuration, when the cell sheet 30 is moved to the left, the player can visually recognize the decoration 31 formed of the character string “AAA” (see FIG. 9A). On the other hand, when the cell sheet 30 is moved to the right, the player can visually recognize the decoration 31 including the character string “BBB” (see FIG. 9B).

  As described above, it is possible not only to move the decoration 31 as in the first embodiment but also to change the contents of the decoration 31 itself. Note that the method of changing the contents of the decoration 31 itself is not limited to the method using the lenticular of the second embodiment. For example, by using two cell sheets 30 and moving the cell sheet 30 formed with slits arranged in the front, the decoration 31 applied to the cell sheet 30 arranged in the rear is moving. A method of showing (so-called slit animation) is also possible.

  Thus, when it is set as the structure which changes the content of the decoration 31 itself, a player can give a fresher impression by associating the content of the decoration 31 and the timing to change, and the effect content of the gaming machine 1. Can be given to.

In addition, when it is set as the structure which changes the content of the decoration 31 of the cell sheet 30 according to a viewing angle like 2nd embodiment, the content of the decoration 31 changes when the viewing angle changes not in the vertical direction but in the horizontal direction. It is desirable to arrange the cell sheet 30 on the game board 6 as described above.
This is because when the gaming machine 1 is installed in the hall, the player holds the game board 6 depending on the relationship between the height of the gaming machine 1 and the height of the chair on which the player is seated, the difference in the sitting height of the player, and the like. This is because the viewing angle in the vertical direction may become an unintended angle. Therefore, if the content of the decoration 31 changes when the viewing angle changes in the vertical direction, the game board 6 (game board 10) is visually recognized from an unintended angle as described above, and the content of the unintended decoration 31 is played by the game. There is a risk of making it visible to a person.
On the other hand, since the player usually operates the launch handle 18 with the right hand, the position of the player's head is directly in front of the game board 6 (in front of the left and right center of the game board 6) or slightly to the right from the front. Often in a misaligned position. Accordingly, the angle in the left-right direction when viewing the game board 6 is unlikely to be an unintended angle. Therefore, the cell sheet 30 is arranged on the game board 6 so that the contents of the decoration 31 change when the viewing angle changes in the left-right direction, and the contents of the decoration 31 in the normal state (the player before the drive mechanism 50 operates). It is desirable to arrange the cell sheet 30 so that the contents of the decoration 31 desired to be shown in FIG.

  In the second embodiment, the decoration 31 changes to two contents (“AAA” or “BBB”). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and changes to three or more contents. A configuration is also possible. In addition, the content of the decoration 31 is not simply changed to another content, but the content of the decoration 31 can be gradually changed to make it appear to move.

  Next, a second modification (third embodiment) will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.

  In the first embodiment (see FIG. 7), the cell sheet 30 is moved in parallel (left-right direction) with respect to the game board 10, but in the third embodiment, the cell sheet 30 with respect to the game board 10 is arranged. The cell sheet 30 is moved so that the angle changes.

  Specifically, in the third embodiment, the cell sheet 30, the sheet support frame 140, the drive mechanism 50, and the guide member 160 are provided as the configuration related to the game board 10. Since the configurations of the cell sheet 30 and the drive mechanism 50 are the same as those according to the first embodiment (or the second embodiment), description thereof will be omitted below.

  The sheet support frame 140 replaces the sheet support frame 40 according to the first embodiment, and is a member for supporting the cell sheet 30. Similarly to the sheet support frame 40 according to the first embodiment, the sheet support frame 140 is formed to be a frame body having a rectangular shape in front view. The sheet support frame 140 is formed so as to protrude forward and slightly bend in a plan view. A rack gear portion 141 in which a plurality of teeth are arranged in the left-right direction is formed at the upper end of the back surface of the seat support frame 140. A pair of left and right guide shafts 142 are provided on the upper surface of the sheet support frame 140 so as to face upward. The cell sheet 30 is fixed to the front surface of the sheet support frame 140.

  The guide member 160 is for guiding the sheet support frame 140 to move in a predetermined direction. The guide member 160 is a substantially rectangular plate-shaped member. The guide member 160 is disposed above the sheet support frame 140 with its plate surface directed in the vertical direction. The guide member 160 is formed with a pair of left and right guide holes 161. The guide hole 161 is formed to be substantially long in the left-right direction so as to follow the shape of the sheet support frame 140 curved in plan view. The guide holes 161 are formed at positions corresponding to the guide shafts 142 of the seat support frame 140 in plan view, and the corresponding guide shafts 142 are inserted through the pair of left and right guide holes 161, respectively.

  In such a configuration, when the motor 51 is driven by the control means, the pinion gear 53 rotates. When the pinion gear 53 rotates, the seat support frame 140 moves substantially left or substantially right along the guide hole 161 through the rack gear portion 41 meshed with the pinion gear 53.

  Specifically, when the pinion gear 53 rotates clockwise in plan view, the seat support frame 140 moves substantially leftward with respect to the game board 10 along the guide hole 161 (see FIG. 11A). ). Further, when the pinion gear 53 rotates counterclockwise in plan view, the seat support frame 140 moves substantially to the right with respect to the game board 10 along the guide hole 161 (see FIG. 11B).

  As in the third embodiment, the sheet support frame 140 (that is, the cell sheet 30) may be moved so that the angle of the cell sheet 30 with respect to the game board 10 changes. By comprising in this way, the angle which a player views the cell sheet 30 can be changed greatly. Thereby, in particular, when the lenticular in which the content of the decoration 31 changes depending on the viewing angle is used for the cell sheet 30 (see the second embodiment), the state in which the content of the decoration 31 changes more clearly to the player. It can be visually recognized.

  Next, a third modification (fourth embodiment) will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13.

  In the first embodiment (see FIG. 7), the cell sheet 30 is moved in parallel (left and right direction) with respect to the game board 10, but in the fourth embodiment, the cell sheet 30 with respect to the game board 10 is moved. The cell sheet 30 is moved so that the angle changes.

  Specifically, in the fourth embodiment, a cell sheet 30, a sheet support frame 240, and a drive mechanism 50 are provided as configurations relating to the game board 10. Since the configurations of the cell sheet 30 and the drive mechanism 50 are the same as those according to the first embodiment (or the second embodiment), description thereof will be omitted below.

  The sheet support frame 240 replaces the sheet support frame 40 according to the first embodiment, and is a member for supporting the cell sheet 30. Similarly to the sheet support frame 40 according to the first embodiment, the sheet support frame 240 is formed to be a frame body having a rectangular shape in front view. In the center of the upper surface of the sheet support frame 240, a rotation shaft 243 is provided upward. A driven gear 244 is fixed to the upper end portion of the rotation shaft 243. The driven gear 244 is meshed with the pinion gear 53 of the drive mechanism 50.

  In such a configuration, when the motor 51 is driven by the control means, the pinion gear 53 rotates. When the pinion gear 53 rotates, the seat support frame 240 moves (rotates) via the driven gear 244 and the rotation shaft 243 engaged with the pinion gear 53.

  Specifically, when the pinion gear 53 rotates clockwise in plan view, the seat support frame 240 rotates counterclockwise in plan view (see FIG. 13A). When the pinion gear 53 rotates counterclockwise in plan view, the seat support frame 240 rotates clockwise in plan view (see FIG. 13B).

  As in the fourth embodiment, the sheet support frame 240 may be rotated on the spot to change the angle of the cell sheet 30 with respect to the game board 10. By comprising in this way, the angle which a player views the cell sheet 30 can be changed greatly. Thereby, in particular, when the lenticular in which the content of the decoration 31 changes depending on the viewing angle is used for the cell sheet 30 (see the second embodiment), the state in which the content of the decoration 31 changes more clearly to the player. It can be visually recognized.

  Next, a fourth modification (fifth embodiment) will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the first embodiment (see FIG. 5), the cell sheet 30 is arranged on the back side (rear) of the game board 10, but in the fifth embodiment, the cell sheet 330 instead of the cell sheet 30 is used as the game board. 10 on the front side (front).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, the cell sheet 330 is arranged in front of the game board 10. The cell sheet 330 is a member for arranging decoration in a gap between members attached to the game board 10 and decorating the game board 10 as a whole. As in the first embodiment, the cell sheet 330 is supported by a sheet support frame 40 (not shown) and can be moved in the left-right direction by the drive mechanism 50.

  However, since the game area 25 where the game ball rolls is formed on the front side of the game board 10, if the cell sheet 330 moves in the left-right direction while facing the game area 25, the roll of the game ball is affected. This is not preferable. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14, it is desirable to have a configuration in which a transparent fixing sheet 370 is disposed further forward of the cell sheet 330. The fixed sheet 370 is fixed so as not to move relative to the game board 10. By configuring in this way, the cell sheet 330 does not directly contact the game ball in the game area 25, so that the rolling of the game ball is not affected.

  Further, in the game area 25, a game nail 29 is planted on the front surface of the game board 10. Since the game nail 29 is driven into the game board 10 from the front of the fixed sheet 370, the cell sheet 330 is also fixed to the game board 10 and cannot be moved unless any treatment is applied to the cell sheet 330. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14, a long hole 332 that is long in the left-right direction is formed at a position corresponding to the game nail 29 of the cell sheet 330. The longitudinal direction (left-right direction) length of the long hole 332 is formed to be substantially the same as the movement distance of the cell sheet 330 in the left-right direction. As a result, the cell sheet 330 can be moved in the left-right direction without being fixed to the game board 10 by the game nail 29.

As described above, the gaming machine 1 (pachinko gaming machine) according to the present embodiment is provided with the gaming board 10 in which the gaming area 25 is formed on the front side and the decoration 31, and the gaming board on the front side of the gaming board 10. The cell sheet 30 is arranged so as to be relatively movable with respect to 10, and a drive mechanism 50 that moves the cell sheet 30.
With this configuration, the decoration 31 that appears to be applied to the game board 10 can be changed (moved) by moving the cell sheet 30, and the player who visually recognizes the decoration 31 is fresh. Can give an impression.

  When the cell sheet 330 is arranged on the front side of the game board 10 as in the fifth embodiment, the player can visually recognize the cell sheet 330 directly (not via the game board 10). For this reason, the game board 10 can be made of an opaque material.

  Moreover, in each said embodiment, although the structure which arrange | positions the cell sheet 30 on the back side of the game board 10 and the structure arrange | positioned on the front side were demonstrated, this invention is not limited to this, The cell sheet 30 is game board 10 may be arranged on both the back side and the front side.
