Since the game board 24 is held slightly behind the main body frame 12, the game area 25 is formed at a position recessed in the back at the center of the main body frame 12. A front end portion of the main body frame passage 12a is opened at an upper portion of the side of the main body frame 12 on the fixed end side of the glass frame 13. The first passage constituting portion 30A is provided by forming a groove recessed downward from the opening toward the back side.

  FIG. 5 shows the glass frame 13 as seen from the back side, and FIG. 6 shows the glass frame 13 as seen from the back side and seen from the front side. In both figures, the glass frame 13 is formed in a substantially plate shape and is provided with a window hole 13d in the center. A pair of upper and lower rotating hinges 13e1 and 13e2 are provided on the left side of the glass frame 13, and can be rotated by a vertical rotating shaft passing through them. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, a locking mechanism 12c is formed at a portion of the main body frame 12 waiting for a free rotation end of the glass frame 13, and the rotation free end of the glass frame 13 is fixed by the locking mechanism 12c. It is possible to do. Therefore, when the glass frame 13 is rotated and the game area 25 is substantially closed from the front side, the rotation free end of the glass frame 13 can be fixed by the locking mechanism 12c, and the game area 25 is illegally opened. It is possible to prevent this.

  On the rear side of the glass frame 13, a glass holding frame 26 formed in a substantially U-shape is fixed by screws with a mounting surface 26b. The glass holding frame 26 is formed in a substantially U shape so as to surround both sides and the lower side of the window hole 13d, and is bent so that the inner portion protrudes to the back side. A glass holding rail 26a having a substantially U-shaped cross section is formed at the tip of the bent portion. The glass holding rail 26a can hold the glass 13a on the inner side, and the glass 13a is held at a position protruding from the glass frame 13 to the back side. Thus, when the game area 25 is closed by the glass frame 13 by holding the glass 13a protruding from the glass frame 13 to the back side, the glass 13a is formed at a position recessed in the back (back side direction). The glass 13a can be brought into close contact with the game rail 25a and the like in the game area 25.

On the side of the glass frame 13 where the rotation hinges 13e1 and 13e2 are provided, a groove-shaped second passage constituting portion 30B that is recessed toward the front side is formed. The front side portion of the second passage constituting portion 30 </ b> B is formed to protrude to the front side from the glass frame 13. The 2nd channel | path structure part 30B may be formed as an independent member, may be attached to the glass frame 13, and may be integrally formed with the glass frame 13. The second passage component 30B is made of a transparent synthetic resin, and the inside of the second passage component 30B can be seen through from the front side.

  FIG. 7 shows a horizontal cross section of the front passage 30. In the figure, the glass frame 13 is rotated so as to be parallel to the game board 24, and the game area 25 is substantially closed by the glass 13a from the front side. At this time, the first passage component 30A and the second passage component 30B formed on the fixed end side in the rotation of the glass frame 13 overlap in the front-rear direction. That is, a substantially cylindrical hollow space is formed by the first passage component 30A having a concave shape on the back side and the second passage component 30B having a concave shape on the front side. Is done. As described with reference to FIG. 3, it is possible to supply a game ball to the inside of this hollow space from the back side, and the supplied game ball falls downward in this hollow space (front passage 30). It will be.

  Further, the groove width of the front passage 30 is made by facing the groove-like second passage constitution portion 30B recessed on the front side from the front side with respect to the groove-like first passage constitution portion 30A recessed on the back side. Can be secured widely. Therefore, even when the payout device 19 pays out a large amount of game balls per unit time, the game balls can be circulated without causing ball clogging in the front passage 30. Since the 2nd channel | path structure part 30B is formed transparently, the mode of the game ball which distribute | circulates the inside of the front channel | path 30 can be visually recognized. Therefore, the player can realize how many game balls are paid out as prize balls. In addition, by showing the player the state of the game ball flowing down substantially vertically, the decoration and taste of the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be improved.

  FIG. 8 also shows a horizontal cross section of the front passage 30. In the figure, the glass frame 13 is rotated so as to be inclined with respect to the game board 24, and the game area 25 is opened to the front side. Therefore, the angle adjustment of the nail disposed in the game area 25 and maintenance of various members can be performed in the state shown in FIG. In such a state, the second passage constituting portion 30 </ b> B formed in the rotatable glass frame 13 is separated from the first passage constituting portion 30 </ b> A of the main body frame 12. In other words, the first passage constituting portion 30A and the second passage constituting portion 30B constituting the front passage 30 are separated.

  By the way, a large amount of game balls circulate in the front passage 30 and are easily contaminated. Moreover, since it is possible for the player to visually recognize the inside of the front passage 30, it is necessary to clean frequently so as not to impair the appearance. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, the inner wall surface of the front passage 30 can be exposed to the outside when the first passage constitution portion 30A and the second passage constitution portion 30B are separated. 30 inner wall surfaces can be easily cleaned. Therefore, the front passage 30 that is easily noticeable by the player can be kept clean, and the appearance of the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be maintained well. Further, since the glass frame 13 is frequently opened for nail adjustment or the like, cleaning can be performed each time, which is convenient.

As shown in FIG. 4, the front passage 30 terminates at an outlet 33 (the sign of FIG. 4 is corrected) formed at the lower end of the glass frame 13. Accordingly, the game ball flowing down the front passage 30 is discharged downward from the outlet 33. A substantially cylindrical guide path 40 having an upper end opened at a position that can face the outlet 33 of the front passage 30 is provided. Therefore, the game ball that has flowed down the front passage 30 falls to the guide path 40 and flows down inside the guide path 40. The upper portion of the guide path 40 has the axial direction oriented vertically, and the side of the upper plate 14 I am grazing. Guide route 4
The lower part of 0 is bent, and a lower dish outlet 42 formed at the tip is positioned inside the lower dish 15. Therefore, the game ball that finally reaches the lower dish outlet 42 can be released to the lower dish 15.

  The lower part of the guide path 40 is inclined so that the traveling direction of the game ball in the lower part of the guide path 40 is substantially horizontal in the width direction. Therefore, the game ball can be landed substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the lower plate 15, and the impact at the time of landing can be reduced. Further, since the lower plate 15 is formed wider in the width direction, it is possible to prevent the game balls released in the width direction from falling down from the lower plate 15.

  FIG. 9 shows a vertical cross section of the upper portion of the guide path 40. In the figure, the guide path 40 is connected to the front passage 30 at the upper end. The guide path 40 is in close contact with the side surface of the upper plate 14, and an upper plate outlet 41 is formed in a close contact portion with the upper plate 14. On the other hand, an introduction hole 14 a is also formed in a portion of the upper plate 14 that faces the upper plate outlet 41. A substantially plate-shaped guide vane 44 projects from the lower end of the upper dish outlet 41 toward the inside. The guide wing 44 is inclined so as to become lower as it approaches the upper plate outlet 41, and the game ball on the guide wing 44 flows down toward the upper plate outlet 41. A substantially plate-shaped guide vane 43 projects inward from the guide vane 44 inside the guide path 40. The guide wing 43 terminates above the guide wing 44 and is inclined so as to become lower toward the tip. The distance between the tip of the guide wing 43 and the inner wall of the guide path 40 is at least as large as the diameter of the game ball.

  By doing so, the game ball that falls inside the guide path 40 collides with the guide wing 43 and flows down on the guide wing 43, so that the game sphere can be dropped on the guide wing 44. In addition, a game ball that does not fall on the guide wing 43 falls directly on the guide wing 44. In any case, the game ball can be dropped onto the guide wing 44 and the game ball can be guided to the upper plate 14. Since the game ball guided to the upper plate 14 is temporarily stored in the upper plate 14 and guided to the launching mechanism 16a, the game ball distributed through the front passage 30 can be used for the game.

  FIG. 10 shows a state in which the game balls stored in the upper plate 14 are full. In the drawing, the full game ball stays on the introduction hole 14 a and the guide wing 44. In this state, when a game ball falls on the guide wing 44, the fallen game ball collides with the game ball staying on the guide wing 44 and bounces back. The rebounded game ball falls from the guide wing 44 and further falls downward in the guide path 40. Then, the game ball dropped from the guide wing 44 is finally discharged to the lower plate 15. With this configuration, the game ball can be discharged to the lower plate 15 only when the game ball stored in the upper plate 14 is full.

  In the present embodiment, by forming the front passage 30 on the front side of the gaming area 25 in the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is possible to prevent the payout passage from being formed on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. Thereby, a wide space on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 can be secured, and more mechanism members can be disposed on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the liquid crystal display device 25b disposed in the center of the game area can be enlarged. Further, since the front passage 30 is embedded so as to straddle the glass frame 13 and the main body frame 12, the space on the side of the game area 25 can be used efficiently. It is desirable to provide the front passage 30 outside the game area 25 so as not to hinder the visibility of the game area 25.

(2) Second embodiment:
FIG. 11 shows the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment as seen from an oblique direction. In the figure, the front passage 130 has substantially the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, but the front passage 130 terminates at the lower end of the glass frame 113. FIG. 12 shows the main body frame 112 as viewed obliquely. In the figure, a glass frame 113 indicated by a broken line is rotated so as to open the game area 125 to the front side. The second passage constituting portion 130B provided in the glass frame 113 is formed so as to be recessed toward the front side, and an outlet 133 is formed by opening the lower end downward.

  When the glass frame 113 is rotated so that the game area 125 is closed from the front side, an opening 141 that can face the outlet 133 is formed in the main body frame 112. An opening 141 that can face the outlet 133 when the glass frame 113 is rotated so as to close the game area 125 is formed in the main body frame 112. On the other hand, an upper dish outlet 142 through which a game ball can be discharged is provided inside the upper dish 114, and a guide passage 140 that connects the opening 141 and the upper dish outlet 142 is embedded in the main body frame 112. Therefore, the game ball discharged from the outlet of the front passage 130 can be guided into the upper plate 114. Since the game ball guided to the upper plate 114 is temporarily stored in the upper plate 114 and guided to the launching mechanism 116a, the game ball that has circulated through the front passage 130 can be used for the game. Thus, by embedding the guide passage 140 in the main body frame 112, the game ball can be guided to the upper plate 114 at the shortest distance, and the pachinko gaming machine 110 can be compactly formed.

  Further, an overflow passage 143 is embedded in the main body frame 112, and the overflow passage 143 is branched from the guide passage 140 immediately before the upper plate outlet 142. A lower tray outlet 144 is formed at the end of the overflow passage 143 so that game balls flowing through the overflow passage 143 can be discharged to the lower tray 115. The game balls flowing through the guide passage 140 are guided to the upper plate outlet 142 in principle, but when the game balls are filled near the upper plate outlet 142, the game balls flow down to the upper plate outlet 142. This is hindered by filled game balls. Then, the game ball that has lost its destination can flow into the overflow passage 143. That is, the game ball can be discharged to the lower plate 115 only when the game ball stored in the upper plate 114 is full.

  130 A of 1st channel | path components are formed so that it may protrude from the main body frame 112 to the front side. 130 A of 1st channel | path components are orientated vertically like the 2nd channel | path component 130B, and it protrudes so that a cross section may become a rectangular shape. The first passage component 130A is formed at a position waiting for the rotation of the second passage component 130B when the glass frame 113 is rotated so that the game area 125 is closed from the front side. It is possible to fit inside the second passage constituting portion 130B.

  FIG. 14 shows a horizontal section of the front passage 130 in a state where the first passage constitution portion 130A is fitted inside the second passage constitution portion 130B. In the same figure, the front passage 130 in which the second passage constitution portion 130B and the first passage constitution portion 130A are merged by fitting the first passage constitution portion 130A inside the second passage constitution portion 130B. Is formed. Thereby, it is possible to distribute the game balls inside the front passage 130 without detaching them outside. In addition, since the gap formed between the main body frame 112 and the glass frame 113 outside the front passage 130 can be bent into a substantially L shape, foreign matter enters the inside of the front passage 130 from the gap. Can be prevented.

Furthermore, by providing the first passage component 130A on the front side, the distribution position of the game balls in the front passage 130 can be raised to the front side. Accordingly, the game ball can be caused to flow down at a position closer to the player, and it can be surely recognized that the game ball has been paid out. Depending on the amount of protrusion of the first passage component 130A, the second passage component 130B may be formed to protrude largely forward. In this case, the front passage 130 can be made more conspicuous.

  FIG. 15 shows a state in which the glass frame 113 is rotated so that the game area 125 is opened to the front side. In the figure, the first passage constituting portion 130A and the second passage constituting portion 130B are separated from each other, and the front passage 130 is separated. Therefore, also in the present embodiment, the inside of the front passage 130 can be easily cleaned as in the first embodiment. Of course, since a path for paying out the game ball is not formed on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 110, a wide space on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 110 can be secured.

  By disposing the front passage 130 at a position sandwiched between the glass frame 113 and the main body frame 112, the front passage 130 cannot be touched from the outside unless the glass frame 113 is rotated. Normally, since the glass frame 113 is provided with a locking mechanism, it is impossible to rotate the glass frame 113 illegally. Therefore, it is possible to prevent fraud from being performed on the front passage 130.

  Even if the lock is released and the glass frame 113 can be rotated, the front passage 130 is located on the rotation fixed end side of the glass frame 113, so that the glass frame 113 is slightly rotated. Even if a hand is put into the gap between the free end side of the glass frame 113 and the main body frame 112 formed at the time, the front passage 130 cannot be reached. That is, in order to apply an unauthorized operation to the front passage 130, the glass frame 113 must be almost fully opened, so that it is possible to prevent unauthorized operation. On the other hand, if the lock is properly opened and the glass frame 113 is rotated, maintenance and cleaning can be easily performed while viewing the front passage 230. Therefore, even when a ball clogging or the like occurs in the front passage 130, it is possible to quickly take action without rotating the main body frame 112 with respect to the outer frame 111.

(3) Third embodiment:
FIG. 16 shows a cross section of the front passage according to the third embodiment. In the figure, since the front passage 230 has substantially the same configuration as that of the second embodiment, only different points will be described. The front passage 230 is attached to the free end side of the rotation of the glass frame 213. As described above, by attaching the front passage 230 to the rotation free end side, the first passage constituting portion 230A and the second passage constituting portion 230B can be largely separated by slightly opening the glass frame 213. Further, since the first passage constituting portion 230A and the second passage constituting portion 230B are close to the gap between the glass frame 213 formed on the free end side and the main body frame 212, the glass frame 213 is slightly attached. The front passage 230 can be cleaned only by turning. Therefore, maintainability of the front passage 230 is improved. However, when the anti-fraudability is more important than the maintainability, it is desirable to attach the front passage to the rotation fixed end side as in the second embodiment.

  As described above, when the glass frame is rotated in the present invention, the front passage is separated into the first passage constituent portion and the second passage constituent portion. Then, there is a problem that the game balls circulating in the front passage and the game balls trying to flow into the front passage cannot be restrained, and these game balls are scattered. On the other hand, it is possible to prevent the game balls from being scattered by providing a shutter that stops the supply of the game balls in any of the paths that supply the game balls to the front passage. The specific configuration will be described below.

(4) Fourth embodiment:
FIG. 17 shows the shutter 360 attached to the end of the main body frame passage 312a formed in the same manner as in the first embodiment as seen from an oblique direction. In the figure, the shutter 360 is formed in a substantially plate shape having substantially the same outer shape as the cross section of the main body frame passage 312a, and includes a pair of cylindrical shaft protrusions 361 and 361 protruding outward in the width direction. Recesses for bearing the shaft protrusions 361 and 361 are formed on the inner wall surface of the main body frame passage 312a, and the shutter 360 is pivotally supported by bearing the shaft protrusions 361 and 361 in the recesses. Has been. The shaft protrusions 361 and 361 constitute a horizontal rotation shaft, and the shutter 360 can rotate about the horizontal rotation shaft.

  The shaft protrusions 361 and 361 are formed at a position slightly lower than the upper end of the shutter 360, and a spring 363 is attached to one of the shaft protrusions 361. The spring 363 is a coiled torsion spring, and a shaft protrusion 361 is inserted inside the coil portion. One end of the spring 363 is fixed to the shutter 360, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall surface of the main body frame passage 312a. As shown in the figure, when the end opening of the main body frame passage 312a is closed by the shutter 360, both ends of the spring 363 are orthogonal and have an original shape. Therefore, the biasing force can be accumulated in the spring 363 by widening or narrowing the angle at which both ends of the spring 363 intersect. That is, the shutter 360 is urged by the spring 363 so as to close the terminal opening of the main body frame passage 312a.

  On the other hand, a substantially plate-like pressing portion 350 that protrudes to the back side is extended at the upper end portion of the second passage constituting portion 330B formed in the glass frame 313. When the glass frame 313 is rotated so that the game area is closed, the pressing portion 350 can interfere with a position higher than the position where the shaft protrusions 361 and 361 are formed on the shutter 360. Therefore, when the glass frame 313 is rotated so that the game area is closed, a portion higher than the position where the shaft protrusions 361 and 361 are formed in the shutter 360 is pushed to the back side, and the shutter 360 can be rotated. it can. By rotating the shutter 360, the terminal opening of the main body frame passage 312a is opened to the front side, so that the game balls flowing down the main body frame passage 312a to the front side are guided to the front of the first passage constituting portion 330A. be able to.

  That is, when the glass frame 313 is rotated so that the gaming area is closed, the first passage constituting portion 330A and the second passage constituting portion 330B are combined to form a front passage, and a game is formed in the front passage. You can guide the sphere. On the other hand, when the glass frame 313 is rotated so that the game area is opened, the shutter 360 is rotated by the urging force of the spring 363 because the interference between the shutter 360 and the pressing portion 350 is eliminated. The terminal opening of 312a is closed. That is, when the first passage component 330A and the second passage component 330B are separated, the game ball can be prevented from being supplied from the main body frame passage 312a. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being released from the terminal opening of the main body frame passage 312a, even though the first passage configuration portion 330A and the second passage configuration portion 330B are not combined. It is possible to prevent the balls from being scattered.

(5) Fifth embodiment:
FIG. 18 shows a cross section of the front passage according to the fifth embodiment. In the figure, the first passage constituting portion 430A is formed in the same manner as in the first embodiment. On the other hand, the 2nd channel | path structure part 430B is formed in planar shape with the transparent plate. Thus, it is also possible to form the 1st channel | path structure part 430A or the 2nd channel | path structure part 430B in planar shape. The structure can be simplified by forming one side in a planar shape. In addition, since the front passage 430 can be formed on the back side of the glass frame 413 by forming the second passage constituting portion 430B in a planar shape, it is possible to make it difficult to cheat the front passage 430.

(6) Sixth embodiment:
FIG. 19 shows a cross section of the front passage according to the sixth embodiment. In the same figure, the 2nd channel | path structure part 530B is formed so that it may protrude ahead rather than the glass frame 513 similarly to 1st embodiment. However, a pair of convex portions 530b and 530b are formed by projecting both ends of the second passage constituting portion 530B to the back side of the glass frame 513. On the other hand, the first passage constituting portion 530A is formed in a planar shape, and a pair of concave portions 530a and 530a are formed in a portion waiting for the rotation of the pair of convex portions 530b and 530b in the first passage constituting portion 530A. Has been. The concave portions 530a and 530a are provided by forming grooves in the main body frame 512 that are slightly larger than the convex portions 530b and 530b.

  Thus, when the glass frame 513 is rotated so that the game area 525 is closed from the front side as shown in FIG. 20, the convex portions 530b and 530b are fitted into the concave portions 530a and 530a, respectively. Can do. Therefore, the gap formed between the first passage component 530A and the second passage component 530B can be formed into a complicated shape, and foreign matter can enter the front passage 530 from the gap. Can be prevented. In addition, the first passage component 530A and the second passage component 530B can be accurately positioned, and both can be reliably combined. The concave portions 530a and 530a and the convex portions 530b and 530b constitute a fitting structure according to the present invention.

  FIG. 21 shows the front passage 530 as viewed from the front. In the figure, the front passage 530 is formed so as to protrude forward from the glass frame 513, so that the second passage constituting portion 530B is visible from the front side. The second passage configuration portion 530B is formed of a light-transmitting resin such as ABS, PET, PPE, or the like, and can see through the back side of the second passage configuration portion 530B. A decoration or the like is not formed on the upper part of the second passage component 530B, and the first passage component that faces the second passage component 530B on the back side of the second passage component 530B. 530A is visible. On the other hand, on the surface of the lower part of the second passage constituting portion 530B, a second decoration 530B1 is provided in which the background is colored black and a fish pattern is drawn at the center. This prevents a part of the first passage constituting portion 530A located on the back side of the second decoration 530B1 from being visually recognized.

  On the other hand, the first passage configuration portion 530A that can be seen through on the back side of the second passage configuration portion 530B is formed in light blue as a whole, and the first decoration 530 (vertical) indicating the flow of the river as indicated by a broken line. Line pattern) is drawn. By doing in this way, the pattern by which 1st decoration 530A1 and 2nd decoration 530B1 were synthesize | combined can be formed. In the example of the figure, the fish pattern and the river pattern drawn on the second decoration 530B1 can be three-dimensionally synthesized, and high preference can be realized. Furthermore, since a game ball flowing down between the first passage constituting portion 530A and the second passage constituting portion 530B can be visually recognized, the flow of the river can be dynamically expressed. That is, high preference can be realized by the game balls flowing down with the first decoration 530A1 and the second decoration 530B1.

  By providing the second decoration 530B1 that does not have translucency, the inside of the front passage 530 located on the back side of the second decoration 530B1 can be hidden. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent fraud by hiding a game ball or the like that circulates in the front passage 530. Of course, since the first passage component 530A and the second passage component 530B can be separated, the decoration formed by these can be kept clean. In addition, when decorating the front channel | path 530, you may use illuminations, such as LED. Furthermore, you may make it provide the decorative cover which hides the front channel | path 530 in the front side rather than the front channel | path 530. FIG. In this way, decoration can be provided on the front side of the front passage 530 and the presence of the front passage 530 can be prevented from being known. Therefore, fraud with respect to the front passage 530 can be prevented.

(7) Seventh embodiment:
FIG. 22 shows a pachilot as a gaming machine according to the seventh embodiment as seen from an oblique direction. The pachilot 610 uses a game ball instead of a medal in the slot machine. For example, five pachinko balls can be equivalent to one medal and enjoy a game. The pachilot 610 has a game area 614 including a drum 614a that rotates in the same manner as the slot machine. Even in such a pachilot 610, a game ball is used as a game medium, so that a game ball corresponding to the game state is paid out. Accordingly, the front passage 630 can be formed on the front side of the pachilot 610, thereby ensuring a wide space on the back side of the pachilot 610.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the pachilot 610 also has an outer frame 611 and a main body frame 612, and a game area 614 holding the drum 614a is formed on the front side of the main body frame 612. A tank 618 that receives supply of game balls is provided on the back side of the main body frame 612. The main body frame 612 is formed with a communication passage A penetrating in the front-rear direction, and the game balls stored in the tank 618 are guided to the front side of the main body frame 612 through the communication passage A. A window frame 613 formed with operation levers and operation buttons is attached to the front side of the main body frame 612. The window frame 613 is attached to the main body frame 612 so as to be rotatable about the left side as a rotation axis. When the window frame 613 is rotated so that the window frame 613 and the main body frame 612 are substantially parallel, the back side of the window frame 613 and the front side of the main body frame 612 are in close contact with each other.
