  22 and 23 illustrate the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and show an example in which the spherical return plate of the central display means 31 is configured by the light guide plate 161 of the light emitting display device 44.

  The light emitting display device 44 of this embodiment includes a light guide plate 161, a light emitting substrate 162 disposed along, for example, the lower edge of the light guide plate 161, and a lens disposed between the light guide plate 161 and the light emitting substrate 162. Member 163.

  The light guide plate 161 also serves as a ball return plate for preventing the game balls flowing down the left and right flow paths 56a and 56b and the game balls rolling on the stage 63 from entering the image display device 41 side. Along the rear edge side of the stage 63 provided in the means 31, for example, it is erected substantially parallel to the game board 6. In this embodiment, the light guide plate 161 is provided so as to correspond to a part of the lower side of the display window 52, but the light guide plate 161 may be provided so as to correspond to substantially the entire display window 52.

  The light guide plate 161 is provided with one or a plurality of reflection assemblies 164 made of an assembly of reflection portions 74 that reflect light from the lower side to the front side, for example. The light guide plate 161 is detachably fixed to the front structure 42 from the rear side, for example.

  The light emitting substrate 162 is disposed, for example, substantially horizontally at a predetermined distance from the lower end surface 161a of the light guide plate 161, and is disposed below the lower end surface 161a of the light guide plate 161 and toward the lower end surface 161a.

The LED 166 is arranged corresponding to the rear side of the light emitting lens portion 168, and the light emitting lens portion 168 emits light when the LED 166 is turned on.

  As described above, by using the spherical return plate of the central display means 31 as the light guide plate 161 of the light emitting display device 44, more various effects can be achieved without greatly complicating the conventional structure. Further, by providing the LED 165 constituting the light emitting display device 44 and the LED 166 for normal light emitting effects on the common substrate 162, the configuration can be further simplified.

  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. For example, in the embodiment, the light from the LED becomes substantially parallel light by the condenser lens and enters the light guide plate. However, as shown in FIG. 24, the light incident on the light guide plate spreads at a predetermined angle. It may be configured to proceed. In addition, even if it is a case where it becomes parallel light on a design, since it may be considered that parallel light does not become light due to positioning errors of the light emitting substrate, the lens member, etc. Assuming the maximum spread angle of the light from the LEDs 72 and 73, there is no reflection assembly 81b corresponding to the LED 73 within the light irradiation range of the LED 72, and the LED 72 corresponds to the LED 72 within the light irradiation range of the LED 73. It is desirable to configure so that the reflection aggregate 81a does not exist.

  When the error notification is performed by the image display device 41, the light emission effect by the light emitting display device 44 may be stopped so as not to prevent the error notification. Moreover, according to the kind of error, you may provide the case where the light emission effect by the light emission display apparatus 44 is stopped, and the case where it does not stop. For example, when the image display device 41 notifies the fraud related error related to the fraudulent act such as door opening error, fraudulent winning error, etc., the light emitting effect by the light emitting display device 44 is stopped, the dish full error, the replenishment error, When the image display device 41 notifies a general error that is not related to fraud such as a payout error, the light emitting effect by the light emitting display device 44 may be continued.

  Conversely, when an error occurs, the light emitting display device 44 may be operated even if the light emitting display device 44 is not performing a light emission effect. In this case, the light emitting display device 44 may be operated by a light emission mode different from that of a normal light emission effect, for example, flashing light emission or light emission of a reflection assembly dedicated when an error occurs. Moreover, you may provide the case where the light emission display apparatus 44 is operated, and the case where it is not operated according to the kind of error. For example, when the image display device 41 is used to notify a fraud related error related to a fraudulent act such as a door opening error, a fraudulent prize winning error, etc., the light emitting display device 44 is activated, and a dish full error, a replenishment error, a payout error, etc. The light emitting display device 44 may not be operated when the image display device 41 notifies a general error that is not related to fraud.

  The present invention is not limited to pachinko machines, and can be similarly implemented in other ball game machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a sparrow ball game machine.
