  Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the invention will be described based on examples. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine in which a plurality of nails are attached to a game board.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, an open / close frame 2 (inner frame 2) is attached to an outer frame (not shown) attached to the island structure of the game hall so that the open / close frame can be opened and closed. An opening / closing door 3 is attached to 2 so as to be openable and closable. A window 3a is formed on the open / close door 3, and a transparent glass 3b is attached to the window 3a. The left end of the open / close frame 2 is supported by the left end of the open / close frame 2 so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis via a hinge mechanism 3c, and is opened and closed with the open / close door 3 closed at the right end of the open / close door 3. A key cylinder 3d for locking the frame 2 is attached.

  When the game board 4 made of plywood (or synthetic resin) is mounted on the opening / closing frame 2 and the door 3 is closed, the gas 3b of the door 3 is parallel to the game board 4 so that the game board 4 can be seen. When the front side is covered with the gas la 3b, a game area 4a in which a game ball can flow down is formed between the game board 4 and the glass 3b. When the door 3 is opened, the game board 4 (game area 4a ) Is opened on the front side. The open / close frame 2 is provided with a lower frame base 2a on the lower side of the game board 4, and a launcher 5 is mounted on the lower frame base 2a.

  The open / close door 3 is provided with a tray unit 6 having a storage tray 6a for storing game balls below the window 3a. The tray unit 6 is provided with an effect button 7a, a cross key 7b, and an enter button 7c. A firing handle 8 is mounted on the lower right side of the unit 6.

  When the firing handle 8 is turned, the electric motor (not shown) of the launching device 5 is driven to actuate the hitting rod (not shown), and the game ball introduced from the storage tray 6a to the launch position is hit. When a plurality of game balls are stored in the storage tray 6a, the plurality of game balls are continuously discharged at intervals of about 0.6 seconds. The launched game balls are guided by guide rails 9 attached to the game board 4 and introduced into the upper part of the game area 4a, and flow down the game area 4a.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the game area 4 a includes a plurality of nails 10 (failure nails 10) that are guiding means, a first start port 11 that is a winning opening, an openable second start port 12, The gate 13, the openable large winning opening 14, and the plurality of general winning openings 15 are provided in the illustrated arrangement, and various members and devices that form the plurality of nails 10 and winning openings 11 to 15 are used for the game board 4. The game board 4 is formed with a discharge port 16 positioned at the lower end of the game area 4a.

  As shown in FIG. 5, each of the plurality of nails 10 has a rear portion with a pointed tip attached to the game board 4 in a press-fit manner from the front side, and a portion protruding toward the front side of the game board 4 is in contact with the game ball. In the state where the head 10a has a larger diameter than the other parts at the front end, and the door 3 is closed, the heads 10a of the plurality of nails 10 are placed on the rear surface of the glass 3b. Close to the inner surface with a slight gap.

  When a game ball flowing down the game area 4a wins any one of the winning openings 11, 12, 14, and 15, the number set for each winning opening 11, 12, 14, and 15 (several) (About 10 or more) game balls are paid out to the storage tray 6a as prize balls. The game balls that have won a prize in any of the winning openings 11, 12, 14, and 15 are discharged from the gaming area 4a from there, and the gaming balls that flow down the gaming area 4a are in any of the winning openings 11, 12, 14, and 15. If no winning is made, the game is finally discharged from the outlet 16 to the outside of the game area 4a.

  When a game ball wins one of the first and second start ports 11 and 12, a special game lottery is performed, and when the game ball is won by the lottery, a special game in which the big winning port 14 is opened is performed. After passing through, an auxiliary game lottery is performed, and when winning by the lottery, an auxiliary game in which the second start port 12 is opened is performed. The player operates the firing handle 8 to change the firing strength of the game ball by the launching device 5 so as to be more advantageous for the special game and the lottery, the auxiliary game and the lottery according to the gaming state. It can be carried out.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a center accessory 20 is attached to the game board 4, and an image display device 21 for production and a movable accessory device 22 are mounted on the center accessory 20. The center accessory 20 is fitted and mounted in a center opening (not shown) formed in the game board 4 at the center frame 20a, and a stage 20b on which a game ball rolls is formed below the center frame 20a. Has been.

  A warp passage 20c (special passage 20c) capable of introducing a game ball flowing down the left game area located on the left side of the center action 20 in the game area 4a and guiding it to the stage 20b. When the game ball rolls on the stage 20b, there is a higher possibility that the game ball will fall from the drop guide portion 20d at the center of the stage 20b and win the first start port 11 than a game ball that does not roll the stage 20b. Become.

  The image display device 21 is arranged so that the screen can be seen from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 through the inside of the center frame 20a. The image display device 21 has a game effect mainly based on the result of the special game lottery. The movable accessory device 22 is displayed as a part of a specific game effect, and both the effect devices 21 and 22 execute an effect accompanying the progress of the game.

  Here, the plurality of game balls flowing down the game area 4a repeatedly contact (collision) with some of the nails 10 in the middle of the flow, and are decelerated or direction-changed. It becomes possible not to win any of the mouths 11, 12, 14, 15, or to win any of the winning ports 11, 12, 14, 15.

  In this way, the plurality of nails 10 controls the flow of the game balls in the game area 4a, and as shown in FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not the game balls are likely to win the winning holes 11 to 15 among them. The main nails 10 such as the life nails 10a to 10e and the life nail 10f for which it is determined whether or not they are easily introduced into the warp passage 20c play an important role in the performance of the gaming machine.

  In addition to the life nails 10a to 10f, among the plurality of nails 10, the game balls introduced from the guide rail 9 to the game area 4a first contact the top nails and game balls to the target position. There are a pair of nails such as a guide nail arranged in series with each other, and a rose nail arranged independently with an interval through which a game ball can pass between each nail 10.

  By the way, in the manufacturing factory of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the plurality of nails 10 are arranged so that the arrangement of the plurality of nails 10 becomes a predetermined arrangement capable of exhibiting the desired gaming performance (such as the ball-out rate) of the gaming machine 1. Is attached to the game board 4 at the designed position at an angle as designed (an angle substantially perpendicular to the board surface (front surface) of the game board 4), and the pachinko gaming machine 1 in that state is manufactured and shipped. .

  However, after that, if the arrangement of the plurality of nails 10 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 installed in the gaming hall is different from the arrangement of the plurality of nails 10 at the time of shipment / manufacture of the gaming machine 1, that is, it is not a predetermined arrangement. The nail 10 may be intentionally bent from the initial state (unauthorized modification), and the bent nail 10 may be a main nail 10 such as a life nail 10a to 10f. If this is the case, the expected performance of the gaming machine 1 may not be obtained.

  Focusing on these problems, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention has a predetermined arrangement of the plurality of nails 10 attached to the game board 4 (for example, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is manufactured (shipped)) It is possible to confirm whether or not the same is the same as the arrangement of the nail 10) using the gauge board 30 which is the arrangement confirmation means.

  For this purpose, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a check position (the gauge line shown in phantom lines in FIGS. 3 and 4 and indicated by the solid line in FIGS. 8 to 10) that enables the gauge board 30 to be checked with the open / close door 3 opened. Attached to the opening / closing frame 2, the opening / closing door 3, the gaming board 4, and the opening / closing door 3 and the gaming board 4, which are the gaming machine structure of the pachinko gaming machine 1, so that the board 30 can be arranged at a predetermined position with respect to the gaming board 4. An attachment means 40 is provided for detachably attaching the gauge board 30 to the game board 4 of the various members and devices (center accessory 20 etc.), and whether or not the gauge board 30 is arranged at the confirmation position. The discriminating means 50 capable of discriminating between the game board 4 which is the game board structure of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the game board 4 of the various members and devices (the center accessory 20 etc.) attached to the game board 4 Is provided.

  First, the gauge board 30 which is a gauge for a gaming machine capable of confirming whether or not the arrangement of the plurality of nails 10 attached to the gaming board 4 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a predetermined arrangement will be described. The gauge board 30 can confirm whether or not the arrangement of all the plurality of nails 10 attached to the game board 4 is a predetermined arrangement.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, the gauge board 30 includes a gauge body 31 made of an opaque synthetic resin (or wooden or glass) board, and a predetermined number of all the nails 10 on the gauge body 31. A plurality of nail visual recognition holes 32 (nail visual recognition holes 32) formed to correspond to the arrangement and the game board 4 so that the gauge board 30 can be arranged at the confirmation position with the open / close door 3 opened. Gauge side attaching means 33 for detachably attaching the gauge body 31 and gauge side discriminating means 34 for discriminating whether or not the gauge board 30 is arranged at the confirmation position are provided.

  The gauge body 31 is formed to be substantially the same size as the game board 4 in front view (see the gauge board 30 indicated by the phantom line in FIGS. 3 and 4), and the gauge board 30 is disposed at the confirmation position. In addition, it has an outer shape that allows all of the plurality of nails 10 to be positioned on the rear side thereof, has a smooth front surface and rear surface, and has a thickness of about several millimeters (for example, 4 to 6 mm). Thus, it is formed so that it is difficult to bend when attached to the game board 4.

  The plurality of nail visual recognition holes 32 visually recognize all the plurality of nails 10 from the front side of the gauge body 31 of the gauge board 30 arranged at the confirmation position, and the arrangement of the nails 10 is a predetermined arrangement. It is formed in the gauge main body 31 so that it can be confirmed. Each nail viewing hole 32 is formed by a hole having a circular cross section that is substantially the same size as the head 10a of the nail 10, and when the corresponding nail 10 is in a predetermined arrangement, the center of the head 10 can be viewed through the center of the hole. Is formed. The nail viewing hole 32 having a size other than substantially the same size as the head 10a of the nail 10 (somewhat larger or smaller than the head 10a) may be used, or the nail viewing hole 32 having a cross-sectional shape other than a circular cross-section.

  The gauge side attachment means 33 corresponds to the attachment means 40 of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and has four board support portions 33a provided on the gauge main body 31 so as to protrude rearward. These four board support portions 33a are The gauge body 31 is integrally formed. The board support portion 33a may be provided by fixing a member molded separately from the gauge body 31 to the gauge body 31 by a fixing means such as an adhesive or a screw.

  The four board support portions 33a are not located on the front side of the game area 4a in the gauge body 31 when the gauge board 30 is disposed at the confirmation position (that is, the plurality of nail visual recognition holes 32 are not formed). It is a site | part and is provided in the site | part which can attach the gauge main body 31 to the game board 4 stably. The number of board support portions 33a may be a plurality other than four (for example, three or five), and the portion of the gauge main body 31 provided with these board support portions 33a may be other than the portion shown in FIG. It may be a site. The size and shape of the board support portion 33a can be variously changed.

  Each of the four board support portions 33a includes a large-diameter boss portion 33b having a circular cross section, and a small-diameter boss portion 33c protruding rearward from the large-diameter boss portion 33b and having a smaller cross-sectional diameter than the large-diameter boss portion 33b. An annular step portion 33d is formed at the rear end portion of the large-diameter boss portion 33b (around the front end of the small-diameter boss portion 33c). The small-diameter boss portions 33c of the four board support portions 33a are inserted into the four attachment holes 41 of the attachment means 40 of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the step portions 33d of the four board support portions 33a are brought into contact with the front surface of the game board 4. The gauge body 31 is attached to the game board 4.

  The front and rear lengths of the large-diameter boss portions 33b of the four board support portions 33a are substantially equal to the front and rear width of the game area 4a. That is, when the gauge body 31 is attached to the game board 4, it is arranged in parallel with the game board 4. The rear surface of the main body 31 coincides with the position of the rear surface of the glass 3b when the open / close door 3 is closed, and the heads 10a of the plurality of nails 10 approach the rear surface of the gauge main body 31 with a slight gap therebetween.

  The gauge side attaching means 33 (four board support portions 33 (longitudinal length of the large-diameter boss portion 33b)) is not shown, but the gauge body 31 is separated from the heads 10 of the plurality of nails 10 to some extent. Alternatively, the gauge main body 31 may be configured to be attachable to the game board 4 so that a part of the front end side of the heads 10a of the plurality of nails 10 enters the plurality of nail visual recognition holes 32 in a loose fit.

  The gauge side discriminating means 34 corresponds to the discriminating means 50 of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the second reference portion of the discriminating means 50 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the gauge board 30 is arranged at the confirmation position. Is a gauge side reference part 34a that is a first reference part that matches the board side reference part 51, that is, does not match the board side reference part 51 when the gauge board 30 is displaced from the confirmation position. The gauge side reference portion 34a has a gauge side reference portion 34a, which is a portion of the gauge main body 31 that is not located on the front side of the game area 4a (that is, the plurality of nail viewing holes 32 are not formed). The two board support portions 33a are provided at a portion where the board support portions 33a are not formed (in this embodiment, the lower right portion of the gauge body 31).

  The gauge side reference portion 34a includes a circular reference opening 34b of an appropriate (relatively large) size formed in the gauge body 31, a vertical reference line 34c marked (drawn) on the front surface of the gauge body 31, and And a horizontal reference line 34d. The vertical reference line 34c is formed at the upper and lower end portions of the reference opening 34b on the front surface of the gauge body 31 on the vertical line intersecting the center line of the reference opening 34b, and the horizontal reference line 34d is the center line of the reference opening 34b. It is formed on the left and right ends of the reference opening 34b in the front surface of the gauge body 31 on the intersecting horizontal line.

Next, the attachment means 40 and the discrimination means 50 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 and FIG. The four mounting holes 41 are provided in a portion of the game board 4 where the game area 4a is not formed so as not to obstruct the flow of game balls in the game area 4a.

  Here, when the open / close door 3 is closed, the four attachment holes 41 (or at least one of the attachment holes 41) cannot be seen through the glass 3b of the open / close door 3, that is, the design of the board surface (on the board surface). It is further desirable to provide a portion where the marked pattern or the like is not deteriorated, and this is also the case in this embodiment.

  By this attachment means 40, the small-diameter boss portions 33c of the four board support portions 33a of the gauge board 30 are inserted into the four attachment holes 41, and the step portions 33d of the four board support portions 33a of the gauge board 30 are inserted into the game board 4. The gauge board 30 (gauge body 31) can be attached to the game board 4 while being brought into contact with the front surface and in parallel with the game board 4 and relatively close thereto.

  In order to facilitate the insertion of the small-diameter boss portion 33c into the mounting hole 41, the insertion is facilitated into at least one of the rear-end outer peripheral portion of the small-diameter boss portion 33c and the front-end outer peripheral portion of the mounting hole 41 of the game board 4. A taper that provides a guide function may be formed. In addition, according to the board support part 33a of the gauge board 30, the number of the mounting holes 41 may be plural (for example, three or five) other than four, or in the game board 4 in which these mounting holes 41 are provided. The part may be a part other than the part shown in FIGS. The size and shape of the mounting hole 41 can be variously changed.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the discriminating means 50 is a board side reference portion 51 that matches the gauge side reference portion 34 a of the gauge board 30 when the gauge board 30 is disposed at the confirmation position, That is, when the gauge board 30 is displaced from the confirmation position, it has a board side reference part 51 that does not match the gauge side reference part 34 a, and the board side reference part 51 has a game area 4 a in the game board 4. It is provided in the part which is not formed.

  The board-side reference unit 51 includes a circular reference line 51a, a vertical reference line 51b, and a horizontal reference line 51c marked (drawn) on the front surface of the game board 4. The circular reference line 51a is formed to be substantially the same size as the reference opening 34b of the gauge side reference portion 34a or slightly smaller than the reference opening 34b of the gauge side reference portion 34a, and the vertical reference line 51b is the same as the circular reference line 51a. On the vertical line that intersects the center line, and on the vertical line that intersects the center line of the circular reference line 51a, the horizontal reference line 51c has a cross shape that intersects the center of the circular reference line 51a and the circular reference line 51a. It is formed so as to protrude somewhat outward.

  With this determination means 50, the confirmation operator visually confirms whether or not the board-side reference portion 51 and the gauge-side reference portion 34a match, and determines whether or not the gauge board 30 is placed at the confirmation position. It becomes possible. Specifically, the determination is performed as follows.

  Whether the circular reference line 51a of the board side reference portion 51 is visible from the reference opening 34b so as to coincide with the reference opening 34b of the gauge side reference portion 34a in a state where the gauge board 30 is attached to the game board 4 by the attachment means 40 Check whether the vertical reference line 51b and the horizontal reference line 51c of the panel-side reference part 51 appear to coincide with the vertical reference line 34c and the horizontal reference line 34d of the gauge-side reference part 34a, respectively. If they appear to match, it can be determined that the gauge board 30 is located at the confirmation position. If not, the gauge board 30 is not located at the confirmation position, that is, is displaced from the confirmation position. Can be determined.

  Here, normally, the gauge board 30 is positioned with respect to the game board 4 so that the gauge board 30 is arranged at the confirmation position in a state where the gauge board 30 is attached to the game board 4 by the attachment means 40. The board-side reference portion 51 and the gauge-side reference portion 34a are matched, but not matched means that the game board 4, the mounting means 40, the discriminating means 50, the gauge board 30, and the gauge-side mounting means 33. There is a possibility that there is a problem in any of the gauge side discriminating means 34 (for example, a manufacturing error or an installation error has occurred), that is, the discriminating means 50 discriminates whether there is a possibility of such a problem. It can also be done.

  As described above, when the gauge board 30 is attached to the game board 4 and it can be determined that the gauge board 30 is disposed at the confirmation position, the gauge board 30 disposed at the confirmation position is used. It is possible to definitely confirm whether or not the arrangement of the plurality of nails 10 attached to the game board 4 is a predetermined arrangement.

  In the confirmation of the arrangement of the nails 10, the confirmation operator visually recognizes the plurality of nails 10 attached to the game board 4 from the plurality of nail visual recognition holes 32 of the gauge board 30 arranged at the confirmation position. It is confirmed whether or not the arrangement is a predetermined arrangement. At that time, each nail 10 (nail visual recognition hole 32) is visually confirmed and confirmed one by one so that the line of sight of the nail 10 is perpendicular (or substantially perpendicular) to the gauge board 30. In addition (see FIGS. 9 (1) and 10 (1)), each time the nail 10 to be viewed is changed, it is possible to change the position of the eyes for accurate confirmation.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9 (1), if the nail 10 to be visually recognized is in a predetermined arrangement, the confirmation operator can see the corresponding nail visual hole 32 of the gauge board 30 as shown in FIG. 9 (2). From the above, it is possible to visually recognize the nail 10 to be visually recognized so that the head 10a of the nail 10 to be visually recognized is located in a large part of the visually recognizable region (for example, the central top portion 10b of the head 10a of the nail 10 to be visually recognized) Many of the microscopic circular portions that are relatively flat can be visually recognized), whereby it is possible to confirm that the nail 10 to be viewed is in a predetermined arrangement.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10 (1), if the nail 10 to be visually recognized is not in a predetermined arrangement, the confirmation operator can see through the corresponding nail visual recognition hole 32 of the gauge board 30 as shown in FIG. 10 (2). The visually-recognized nail 10 can be visually recognized so that a part other than the front surface of the game board 4 and the head 10a of the visually-recognized nail 10 is located in a large part of the visually recognizable region (for example, Many of the central top portions 10b of the head 10a cannot be visually recognized), whereby it is possible to confirm that the nail 10 to be viewed is not in a predetermined arrangement.

  Since the gauge body 31 of the gauge board 30 has a certain thickness (for example, 4 to 6 mm), if the line of sight of the nail 10 is relatively largely inclined from the vertical direction with respect to the gauge board 30, it is visually recognized. The target nail 10 is blocked by the inner wall surface of the nail visual recognition hole 32 of the gauge body 31 corresponding to the nail 10 and cannot be seen. That is, the gauge body 31 has a certain thickness so that it can be confirmed whether or not the line of sight of the nail 10 is perpendicular (or substantially perpendicular) to the gauge board 30.

The nail 10 (in the present embodiment, a plurality of life nails 10a to 10f) is configured so as to be confirmed, and the gauge board 30 of the first embodiment is partially changed. The gauge board 30A according to the second embodiment may be partially changed.

  In the gauge board 30B, the front surface of the gauge main body 31B corresponds to the main plurality of nails 10 (life nails 10a to 10f) among the plurality of nail viewing holes 32 (the main plurality of nails 10 are visible). A plurality of main nail viewing holes 32a are marked (drawn) so as to be distinguishable from other nail viewing holes 32. In the present embodiment, as a specific example of the mark 35, an annular identification mark is marked around the main nail viewing hole 32a on the front surface of the gauge body 31B.

  The mark 35 is not limited to the above specific example, and various configurations can be adopted. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the nail visual recognition hole 32 is the main nail visual recognition hole 32a on the front surface of the gauge body 31B as a mark 35 together with an annular identification mark around the main nail visual recognition hole 32a. An identification notation such as a character “life nail” and the like, and an arrow pointing to the main nail visual recognition hole 32a that is the object of the identification notation may be marked.

  The mark 35 does not have to be attached to the plurality of nail viewing holes 32 corresponding to all the life nails 10a to 10f, and one or more nail viewing holes corresponding to some one or more life nails. It may be attached only to 32, or may be attached to the nail visual recognition hole 32 corresponding to a main nail 10 of a type other than the life nail (for example, the above-mentioned ceiling nail or continuous nail). When the mark 35 is attached to the main nail viewing hole 32 corresponding to two or more types of nails (for example, a life nail and a chain nail), different types (for example, blue for one type) are identifiable. The mark 35 may be provided as a red mark for the other type.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 to 19, the gauge board 30 </ b> C of Example 4 is marked (drawn) on a gauge body 31 </ b> C made of a transparent synthetic resin (or glass) board and the gauge body 31 </ b> C.
