(See FIGS. 12 to 14). In addition, the left upper substrate 1037d and the left middle substrate 1037e are similarly sandwiched and connected by the cover 1039 and the base 1041 described above.
The left lower substrate 1037f is attached to the light guide plate 1031 by the first holder 1040. The first holder 1040 functions as a function of holding a light incident portion (light incident lens portion) 1047 described later and also as a light leakage prevention so that light from the LED 1038 does not leak.
The member indicated by reference numeral 1042 in FIGS. 13 and 14 is the second holder, and the concealment of the substrate indicated by reference numeral 1046 in FIGS. 16, 18, 20, 22, and 25 is attached to the light guide plate 1031. It is a holder for connecting to the back box.

  Here, a specific example of the light emission effect display will be described.

  First, a description will be given of a point that a predetermined partial light emission display effect can be performed by causing any one of the LEDs 1038 of the upper left substrate 1037a, the upper middle substrate 1037b, and the upper right substrate 1037c to emit light.

FIG. 16 shows the light guide plate 1031 by causing only some of the LEDs 1038 on the upper left substrate 1037a (the LEDs 1038 in the region indicated by reference numeral L1 in FIG. 14 to be referred to as first light emitting means in this embodiment) to emit light. It shows that a predetermined light emission effect is applied to the area indicated by hatching.
In the present embodiment, an image (specific image) 1143 a having the same shape as that of the first movable effect actor 1143 is displayed on the left region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031. A reflection part (in this embodiment, the reflection part in this region is referred to as a first reflection part) is formed so that it can be displayed at the same position as the arrangement position.

Then, for example, when a predetermined condition is set in the game and a first movable effect actor 1143 to be described later is moved, before the first movable effect actor 1143 starts moving, the upper left substrate A part of the LED 1038 of 1037a is caused to emit light (flash / light).
The upper left substrate 1037a of the present embodiment is provided with an LED 1038 in the L1 area and an LED 1038 in the L2 area, the arrangement positions of which are changed in the vertical direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 14, the region indicated by L2 at a position higher in the vertical direction than the LED 1038 provided in the region indicated by L1 (in this embodiment, the same height position as the LED 1038 of the upper middle substrate 1037b in the vertical direction). LED 1038 is provided. In the present embodiment, only the LED 1038 in the range indicated by L1 in FIG.
Thereby, the first movable effect actor 1143 and the first movable effect actor 1143 are arranged by the reflecting portion provided in the left region of the light guide plate 1031 corresponding to the position (left region in the drawing) where the first movable effect agent 1143 is disposed. A blade image (specific image) 1143a having the same shape is displayed in a light emission (flashing / lighting) effect so as to overlap the first movable effect agent 1143 in the left region of the light guide plate 1031 (FIG. 17). reference).
As described above, after the image 1143a having the same shape as the first movable effect actor 1143 is displayed in the light emission effect at the same position, the first movable effect actor 1143 appears, so that the first movable effect actor 1143 appears. This suggests a possibility that the accessory 1143 can move to a predetermined position (a so-called tilt feeling such as whether or not to appear). In particular, the expectation can be further enhanced by setting to blink at high speed.

FIG. 18 shows that a predetermined light emission effect is given to the area indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031 by the light emission of the LED 1038 of the upper middle substrate 1037b and the LED 1038 of the L2 region of the upper left substrate 1037a described above. . In the present embodiment, the LED 1038 on the upper middle substrate 1037b and the LED 1038 in the L2 region of the upper left substrate 1037a are referred to as second light emitting means.
In the present embodiment, in the central region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031, the reflection unit (the book) is displayed so that a face image of the character of the gaming machine (an image different from the specific image 1143 a) can be displayed large. In the embodiment, the reflective portion in this region is referred to as a second reflective portion).
For example, when a predetermined condition is established in the game and the game state is shifted to a game state advantageous to the player, before the shift, the LED 1038 of the upper middle board 1037b and the above-described upper left board 1037a The LED 1038 in the L2 area is caused to emit light (flash / light).
Thereby, the face image of the predetermined character is displayed in a light emitting (flashing / lighting) effect on the central area of the light guide plate 1031 by the reflecting portion provided in the central area of the light guide plate 1031 (see FIG. 19).
As described above, after the face image of the predetermined character is displayed in the center region of the light guide plate 1031 and the light emission effect is displayed, the game state transitions to the predetermined game state. Increases interest and improvement. Even in this case, expectation can be further enhanced by setting to blink at high speed. In this embodiment, the effect display is performed as described above by the light guide plate 1031. However, the face image of the character is displayed by the display device 4, and the headband image of the character is superimposed on the light guide plate 1031. It may be a light emitting display and is within the scope of the present invention.

20 and FIG. 21, a predetermined light emission effect is applied to the shaded area of the light guide plate 1031 by light emission of each LED 1038 (in the present embodiment, this is referred to as third light emission means) of the upper right substrate 1037c. Which indicates that.
In the present embodiment, a predetermined decorative image can be displayed on the first light emitting effect unit 1057 and the second light emitting effect unit 1105 described later in the right region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031. In addition, a reflection portion (in this embodiment, the reflection portion in this region is referred to as a third reflection portion) is formed. For example, in the present embodiment, the character “WARNING” is displayed by light emission, but the decoration image in this case may be a character or a predetermined character image. Moreover, you may comprise so that it may light-emit in a predetermined color so that the whole region of the 1st light emission production | presentation means 1057 and the 2nd light emission production | presentation means 1105 may be covered.

  In addition, for example, a predetermined light emission display effect can be performed by causing all or all of the left upper substrate 1037d, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left lower substrate 1037f or any one of the LEDs 1038 to emit light.

22 to 24 show the light guide plate by causing all the LEDs 1038 (referred to as fourth light emitting means in the present embodiment) of the left upper substrate 1037d, left middle substrate 1037e, and left lower substrate 1037f to emit light. It shows that a predetermined light emission effect is applied to the entire area indicated by the hatched line 1031.
In the present embodiment, a reflection portion (in this embodiment, a lightning-like image can be displayed from the lower area of the game board toward the upper area in all areas indicated by diagonal lines of the light guide plate 1031. The reflective portion in this region is referred to as a fourth reflective portion).
Then, for example, a predetermined condition is set in the game, and a second movable effect combination 1213 to be described later moves to an appearance position (also referred to as a second position or another position), and a second movable effect combination storage unit 1313 is obtained. When a movable effect is made as if pierced, the LED 1038 below the left lower substrate 1037f emits light (flashes / lights) to the upper LED 1038 (FIG. 24A), and then the left middle substrate 1037e Light is emitted (flashing / lighting) from the lower LED 1038 to the upper LED 1038 (FIG. 24B), and then light is emitted (flashing / lighting) from the lower LED 1038 to the upper LED 1038 on the left upper substrate 1037d (FIG. 24B). 24 (c)).
As a result, an image such as lightning is emitted (flashing / lighting) from the lower area to the upper area by the reflecting portion provided in the entire area of the light guide plate 1031 (see FIGS. 23 and 24). FIGS. 24A to 24C show a state in which light-emission images such as lightning gradually spread from the lower region to the upper region. This is expressed by lighting each LED 1038 in the order of the left lower substrate 1037f, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the upper left substrate 1037a.
In addition, after the LEDs 1038 on the left lower substrate 1037f, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the upper left substrate 1037a are in a light emitting state (FIG. 24C), the LEDs 1038 below the left lower substrate 1037f are sequentially turned to the upper LEDs 1038. By turning off the light, and subsequently turning off the LED 1038 on the lower left substrate 1037e from the lower LED 1038 to the upper LED 1038, and then turning off the LED 1038 on the lower left substrate 1037a in turn. You may make it perform the effect that it becomes difficult to visually recognize the performed image in order.
Note that the LEDs 1038 on the left lower substrate 1037f, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left upper substrate 1037d can simultaneously emit light (flash / light). In this way, the appearance of the second movable effect actor 1213 (movable effect) and the light emission effect display by the entire region of the light guide plate 1031 are provided together, thereby giving a surprise effect to the player. Can improve the interest. In other words, there is a development that is advantageous for the game by the production by the large appearance action in a certain direction of the second movable production actor 1213 and the light emission display production from the direction opposite to the appearance direction. It is possible to make the player feel a sense of heels.
Although a detailed description is omitted in this embodiment, when a game ball enters the start winning opening 1009 and a game ball is detected by a sensor (not shown), a random number value is extracted. . Based on the extracted random number value, the symbol display device (not shown) displays the symbol in a predetermined manner and then stops and displays it in a predetermined manner.
As a mode of the symbols that are stopped and displayed in the symbol display device, a jackpot mode that is stopped when the extracted random number value is a predetermined specific random value and a stoppage that is displayed when the extracted random number is not a specific random value. There is a losing aspect. When stopped and displayed in the big win mode, the big winning opening 1011 is in an open state, and the game ball shifts to a so-called jackpot game state in which a game ball can easily enter. Then, it is possible to perform the effects as described above during the symbol variation display in the symbol display device. For example, when the symbol is stopped and displayed in the manner of loss, the effect of light emission display up to the state of FIG. 24A is a selection rate of 8/10, and the effect of light emission display up to the state of FIG. When the selection rate is 10 and the effect of light emission display up to the state of FIG. 24C is 0/10, and the symbol is stopped and displayed in a big win mode, the light emission display is performed up to the state of FIG. The selection rate is 1/10 for the effect, the selection rate is 4/10 for the effect that is displayed until the state shown in FIG. 24B, and the selection rate is 5/10 for the effect that is displayed until the state shown in FIG. As such, the degree of expectation that is stopped and displayed in the jackpot mode may be different for each effect to be executed.

25 and 26, each LED 1038 on the left upper substrate 1037d (this is referred to as a fifth light emitting unit in the present embodiment) emits light so that a predetermined light emission ( (Blinking / lighting) indicates that an effect will be given.
In the present embodiment, a reflective portion (in this embodiment, a reflective portion in this region) is displayed on the upper region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031 so that a predetermined decorative image (a predetermined character image or the like) can be displayed. Is referred to as a fifth reflecting portion). The decoration image in this case may be a character or another character image.
In addition, an image (for example, a headband) that overlaps with the image (first image 1051 of the character) on the cell sheet 1049 shown in FIG. In order to display the first image 1051) in a light emitting manner, a predetermined reflecting portion may be provided at a predetermined position of the light guide plate 1031 so that this one character image is simultaneously displayed in a light emitting effect.
As described above, only the upper area is displayed with the light emission effect, so that it is possible to make the player think that the effect is a special effect, and the interest can be improved.

  The upper left substrate 1037a, the upper middle substrate 1037b, the upper right substrate 1037c, the left upper substrate 1037d, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left lower substrate 1037f are caused to emit light at the same time, so that the entire region of the light guide plate 1031 has a predetermined area. It is also possible to perform a light effect display. By making all these light-emitting means emit light, all the light-emitting display effects partially overlap, and a flashy light-emitting effect can be performed. Therefore, it is expected that the entertainment will be improved by an unprecedented light-emitting effect.

Furthermore, a predetermined light emission display effect is performed by arbitrarily combining the light emitting means of the upper left substrate 1037a, the upper middle substrate 1037b, the upper right substrate 1037c, the left upper substrate 1037d, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left lower substrate 1037f. Is possible and within the scope of the invention.
In addition, by displaying all the LEDs to emit light and displaying two layers of light emission and the LED on the left upper substrate 1037a, the torch image is emitted and displayed, and the cell character in the headband has a torch. Various effects may be displayed.

In the present embodiment, a light incident portion (light incident lens portion) 1047 is provided in the vicinity of each LED 1038, and light from each LED 1038 of the light emitting means 1037 is guided through the light incident portion (light incident lens portion) 1047. The optical plate 1031 is configured so that it can be reliably incident from each end face 1031a (see FIGS. 14 and 15).
The shape and location of the light incident portion (light incident lens portion) 1047 have a configuration that allows the light from each LED 1038 of the light emitting means 1037 to be reliably incident from each end face 1031a of the light guide plate 1031 without spreading. The design can be changed within the scope of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the light guides are disposed on the respective end surfaces 1031a of the light guide plate 1031 and on the upper side or side thereof. 1037 are juxtaposed.

The discharge area 1035 is provided at the lower end of the light guide plate 1031 in a smaller number than the plurality of passage areas (general winning opening 1013), and in this embodiment, it is a single discharge area (discharge opening) (FIG. 14).
As a result, only one region for disposing the discharge region (discharge port) formed on the light guide plate 1031 is sufficient. Further, since a space for securing the discharge area in the light guide plate 1031 may be small, a wide light emitting display area in the light guide plate 1031 can be secured, which is very effective.

<Cell sheet configuration>
The cell sheet 1049 is provided on the back side of the light guide plate 1031 and displays a predetermined image (see FIG. 27).
For example, in the present embodiment, the second image 1053 corresponds to the second image 1053 at a position at least partially overlapping with an image (second image 1053 provided on the light guide plate) that emits light when the light guide plate 1031 emits light. The image (first image 1051) is displayed on the cell sheet 1049.

That is, for example, in this embodiment, the face (first image 1051) of the character is displayed on the cell sheet 1049, and even when the LED 1038 of the light emitting means 1037 provided in the light guide plate 1031 is not emitting light. The face of the character (first image 1051) is displayed so as to be visible to the player.

A large number of gear groups (also referred to as slide relay gear groups, in this embodiment, seven gears 1195a, 1195b, and 1195c) sequentially meshed from the lowermost gear 1195a meshing with the gear 1183 to the uppermost gear 1195g. , 1195d, 1195e, 1195f, and 1195g), a pinion gear 1197 that is formed side by side and synchronized with the uppermost gear 1195g of the gear group, and a rack member (sliding rack) 1201 with which the pinion gear 1197 meshes. (See FIGS. 37 and 38).

In the drawings, the gear groups (1195a, 1195b, 1195c, 1195d, 1195e, 1195f, 1195g) are disclosed in a floating state so as to be easy to see, but actually, the first member 1149a of the front decoration member 1149 is disclosed. Respective gears (1195a, 1195b, 1195c, 1195d, 1195e, 1195f, 1195g) are rotatably provided on the shaft member projecting on the back side.
The rack member 1201 is attached and fixed to the back surface of the back member 1157 of the exterior member 1153. Note that the pinion gear 1197 is disclosed in parallel with the uppermost gear 1195g in the drawing for explanation, but it is necessary to mesh with the rack member 1201 fixed to the back member 1157 of the exterior member 1153. Actually, the first member 1149a is located on the front side through the slide groove 1149c.

Here, the operation of the first movable effect combination 1143 will be briefly described.
In the first movable director 1143, a region 1181 having the gear teeth of the second gear 1183 and a region 1187 having the gear teeth of the third gear 1185 are regions 1181 having the gear teeth of the first gear 1177. 3 and 5 to 7, the blade shape of the exterior member 1153 is positioned in the vertical direction on the left back side of the game board 1 when viewed from the front side of the gaming machine. It is arranged. This state is the initial position 1145 in the first movable effect combination 1143.

Then, the gear teeth of the third gear 1185 mesh with the gear teeth of the first gear 1177, and the rotational movement of the driving means 1159 in the forward rotation direction is transmitted to the third gear 1185. By this, the first movable effect item 1143 (the exterior member 1153 and the front decoration member 1149) rotates from the initial position 1145 toward the center of the game area of the game board 1 so that it can be easily seen by the player. It protrudes (see FIGS. 6, 36 and 36A). Thus, the state of rotating and projecting toward the game area of the game board 1 is the appearance position 1147 in the first movable effect combination 1143.
In FIG. 36A, while the movable state of the 1st movable production | presentation actor 1143 is shown as a continuous line, the extended state (state advanced ahead diagonally upward) is shown with a virtual line. In addition, it is easy to visually recognize the state in which the first movable effect actor 1143 rotates and projects in the game area direction (indicated by a solid line) and further extends (indicated by an imaginary line) from the player. In this state, the appearance position 1147 is used.

The second gear 1183 that meshes with the gear teeth of the first gear 1177 simultaneously with the third gear 1185 and rotates in the forward direction rotates the rotation mechanism of the drive unit 1159 in the forward direction. The pinion gear 1197 that is engaged with the rack member 1201 operates in the direction of extending the exterior member 1153 that is integrated with the rack member 1201. When the region 1189 having no gear teeth of the third gear 1185 is opposed to the region 1181 having no gear teeth of the first gear 1177, the third gear 1185 has gear teeth. Since the region 1189 (protrusion leading end surface 1191) that is not moved moves while contacting the region 1181 that does not have the gear teeth of the first gear 1177, the first movable effect accessory 1143 (exterior member 1153) Is maintained at the appearance position 1147, and the turning motion transmitted from the second gear 1183 is converted into a straight-ahead motion by the conversion mechanism 1193, so that the first movable effect accessory 1143 moves in the extending direction.
Then, after stopping at the appearance position for a certain period of time, the driving means 1159 is rotated in the reverse direction to rotate the motor gear 1161, the second gear 1183, the third gear 1185, and the gear group 1195a constituting the conversion mechanism 1193, the pinion gear 1197, and The counter-rotating operation is transmitted to the rack member 1201 to operate the first movable effect actor 1143 in a contracting direction and to rotate to return to the initial position 1145.

Further, in the present embodiment, the locking protrusion 1203 integrally protruding on the back side of the back cover member 1199 is provided on the back side of the back decoration member 1151 via the curved slide long groove 1205 provided on the back decoration member 1151. And the other end of a predetermined spring member 1207 provided with one end locked to the back side of the back decorative member is locked to the protruding locking protrusion 1203 so that the exterior member 1153 is always provided. The front decoration member 1149 is urged so as to return to the initial position (see FIG. 39).
In addition, the 1st movable production | presentation actor 1143 rotates between the initial position 1145 and the appearance position 1147 by the drive means 1159 and the transmission mechanism 1163, and the spring member 1207 is the appearance position 1147 to the last. The spring force is such that it functions to assist the turning operation to return to the initial position 1145.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a photo sensor 1209 is provided on the front side of the back decoration member 1151, and a projecting piece (not shown) protruding on the back side of the back cover member 1199 is detected to detect the first movable effect. The initial position 1145 and appearance position 1147 of the accessory 1143 can be recognized. For example, when a projecting piece (not shown) is detected by the photo sensor 1209, the photo sensor 1209 recognizes that the projecting piece 1145 is at the initial position 1145, and rotates to detect the projecting piece (not shown) from the photo sensor 1209. When it disappears, it recognizes that it is in the appearance position 1147, and after recognizing that it is in the appearance position 1147, a signal is sent to the sub-control board to reversely rotate the driving means 1159 after a predetermined time has passed.

Here, the light emission effect display form of the 1st movable effect part 1143 in this embodiment is demonstrated.
In the present embodiment, the first movable effect actor 1143 emits some of the LEDs 1038 disposed at predetermined positions of the light guide plate 1031 before the first movable effect actor 1143 starts moving. By performing the light emission display (light emission display of a specific image), it is notified that there is a possibility that the first movable effect actor 1143 may move to a predetermined position. This can give the player a sense of expectation that it may move (appear).
For example, as described in paragraph 0045 above, when a predetermined condition is set in the game and the first movable stage actor 1143 is moved, before the first movable stage bonus 1143 starts moving. In addition, some of the LEDs 1038 on the upper left substrate 1037a are caused to emit light (flashing / lighting). Accordingly, the first movable effect is obtained by the reflecting portion provided in the left region of the light guide plate 1031 corresponding to the position (the region indicated by the oblique line on the left side in FIG. 16) where the first movable effect actor 1143 is disposed. Since the blade image 1143a having the same shape as the accessory 1143 is displayed in a light emission (flashing / lighting) effect in the left side region of the light guide plate 1031 (see FIG. 17), the first movable effect accessory 1143 reaches the predetermined position. It is supposed to notify that there is a possibility of moving. This can give the player a sense of expectation that it may move (appear).
It is also possible to adopt a mode in which the first movable effect accessory 1143 is moved in the left-right direction in small increments when a part of the LEDs 1038 of the upper left substrate 1037a emits light (flashes / lights).
In the present embodiment, after the light-emitting display of the light guide plate 1031, the first movable effect actor 1143 moves to a predetermined position or does not move to a predetermined position, but always moves to a predetermined position. It is also possible to make it not to move.

Further, in association with (in conjunction with) the movement of the first movable effect actor 1143 from the first position (initial position) 1145 to the second position (appearance position) 1147, a predetermined amount of the light guide plate 1031 is determined. It is also possible to cause the LED 1038 disposed at the position to emit light and to display a predetermined image (also referred to as a third image or one image) on the light guide plate 1031 through the first reflecting portion. For example, when the first movable director 1143 is moved to the second position (appearance position) 1147, the LED 1038 of the predetermined LED substrate 1037 (for example, the upper middle substrate 1037b) of the light guide plate 1031 is caused to emit light and guided. By a predetermined reflecting portion (first reflecting portion) provided in a predetermined region of the light plate 1031, a light emitting effect (third image or one image) as if light is emitted from the first movable effect member 1143 is applied. It is also possible (see FIG. 36). In order to emit light emitted from the first movable effect member 1143, it is also possible to produce a light emission effect by combining the first image provided on the cell sheet 1051 and the second image provided on the light guide plate 1031. .
The light-emitting display image that is notified before the first movable effect actor 1143 starts moving and the light-emitting display image that is displayed based on the movement are not particularly limited, and the design can be changed within the scope of the present invention. .

This is a transmission gear for rotationally driving the base 1559 (see FIGS. 61 and 64).
In the figure, reference numeral 1583 denotes a gear having a protrusion 1585 on the back side and detecting an initial position by a photosensor 1587 provided in the rotating member mounting portion 1515 (see FIG. 64), and the protrusion 1585 is a photosensor. It is possible to recognize that the movable member 1531 is located at the initial position.

  The LED board 1543 includes predetermined LEDs (light emitting means) 1541 arranged at predetermined positions on the front side of the board and predetermined LEDs (light emitting means) 1542 arranged at predetermined positions on the back side. The substrate cover 1539, the LED substrate 1543, and the reflector 1545 are disposed in a non-rotating state.

  The projecting member 1547 includes a main body 1551 formed of a transparent member in a predetermined flat blade shape, a light introducing portion 1553 that projects integrally with the lower end of the main body 1551, a spring mounting portion 1555 that projects, and the spring A spring end locking portion 1558 is provided on the front side of the lower end of the main body 1551 adjacent to the attachment portion 1555, and is formed in a cylindrical shape on the back side of the main body 1551, and is formed on the annular guide surface 1563. A sliding guide surface sliding portion 1557 is provided (see FIGS. 64 to 66). The spring mounting portion 1555 is provided so as to protrude over the front surface and the rear surface of the main body 1551 of the protruding member 1547.

The projecting member 1547 performs a movable effect of moving around the rotation base 1535, and the projecting member 1547 itself receives light from the LED 1542 on the back surface side of the LED substrate 1543 through the light introducing portion 1553, thereby producing a light emitting effect. It also functions as a lens unit to perform.
The light introducing portion 1553 is formed in a substantially quarter-spherical shape, and is disposed so that the concave inner surface side faces the LED 1542 on the back surface side of the LED substrate 1543.
An annular reflector 1545 provided in close contact with the LED substrate 1543 is interposed between the LED substrate 1542 and the light introducing portion 1553, and the reflector 1545 has a concave inner surface and a light introducing portion 1553. A recessed portion 1545a is formed at the position facing the LED 1542 coaxially and with the concave inner surface and the LED 1542 in alignment with each other (see FIG. 69).
When the main body 1551 of the projecting member 1547 is positioned at the appearance position 1548, the light introducing portion 1553 is set so as to correspond to the LED 1542 of the light emitting means.

  Therefore, the light from the LED 1542 is emitted toward the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 to display the main body 1551 in a light emitting effect. Further, the light emitted from the LED 1542 is reflected and diffused by the concave inner surface, and is also applied to the surface portion of the main body 1551. At this time, since a predetermined lens cut 1551a is formed on the surface of the main body 1551, the irradiated light is reflected and diffused by the lens cut 1551a to produce a light emission effect on the entire main body 1551 (see FIG. 69). In addition, the reflector 1545 is provided with a recessed portion 1545a disposed coaxially with the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 and the LED 1542 so as to be aligned with the opening of the concave inner surface and the LED 1542, respectively. Light from the LED 1542 can be irradiated without being diffused toward the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 by the hollow portion 1545a. Further, when the protruding member 1547 is housed and positioned in the retracted position 1546 (a gap 1577 described later), the light introducing portion 1553 is not in the corresponding position. Although not limited in particular, it is also possible to provide more LEDs so that the protruding member 1547 can cope with any position.

The guide base 1561 is provided on the front surface of the base board 1561a in a concave shape with a first position 1565 provided in a circumferential direction of a predetermined length and the first position 1565 and having a smaller diameter than the first position 1565. Annular guide surfaces (guide portions) 1563 provided alternately with the second position 1567 in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface protrude forward (see FIGS. 61 and 65 to 67).
For example, in the present embodiment, the annular guide surface 1563 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the outer periphery of the base board 1561a, the second positions 1567 are provided in a concave shape at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction of the annular guide surface 1563, and the second position Guide surfaces other than 1567 are set as the first position 1565.
The second position 1567 is recessed in a circular shape from one end of the first position 1565 when viewed from the front, and is gently connected to the adjacent first position 1565 via a gentle curved surface 1569.

Further, in a substantially central region of the front surface of the base board 1561a of the guide base 1561, a first cylindrical portion 1571 protruding forward from the annular guide surface 1563 and a substantially central region of the first cylindrical portion 1571 are provided. The second cylindrical portion 1573 having a smaller diameter than the first cylindrical portion 1571 is provided. The second cylindrical portion 1573 is inserted through the through holes provided at the centers of the LED substrate 1543, the substrate cover 1539, and the substrate cover 1539, and then the shaft bush 1540 is attached to the tip thereof. A shaft member 1535a projecting from the back surface of the rotation base 1535 is inserted into the shaft bush 1540 and projects to the back surface side of the guide base 1561 (see FIG. 65). The protruding end of the shaft member 1535a is connected to a transmission gear 1575 so that the rotation operation of the drive gear 1579 is transmitted to the rotation base 1535.
An annular gap 1577 is formed between the front surface of the guide base 1561 and the back surface of the rotary base 1535 with the width of the tip of the first cylindrical portion 1571 (tip surface excluding the second cylindrical portion 1573). (See FIG. 65). The gap 1577 functions as a retracted position 1546 that is difficult to visually recognize when the protruding member 1547 is positioned at the second position 1567 (see FIGS. 61 and 65).

The rotating shaft base 1559 is integrally attached to the rotating base 1535 by screwing, and is formed in an annular shape so as to be slidably attached to the outer periphery of an annular guide surface 1563 provided on the guide base 1561, and the spring A winding portion of a spring 1549 is fitted around the mounting portion 1555, and the spring mounting portion 1555 is rotatably attached to the end surface 1559 a of the rotating shaft base 1559.
Then, the other end (free end) of the spring 1549 is locked to a spring end locking portion 1558 protruding from the front end surface of the protruding member 1547.
In this manner, the protruding member 1547 is rotatably attached to the rotating shaft base 1559, and the guide surface sliding portion 1557 slides on the peripheral surface of the annular guide surface 1563 when fitted on the annular guide surface 1563. Arrange for possible.
At this time, the spring force of the spring 1549 is biased in the direction in which the main body 1551 is accommodated in the gap 1577 between the rotating shaft base 1559 and the guide base 1561 (see FIGS. 61 to 63).

Therefore, when the driving unit (motor) 1523 is rotated, the rotation operation of the gear (motor gear) 1579 provided in the driving unit (motor) 1523 is transmitted to the transmission gear 1575.
The rotation operation transmitted from the transmission gear 1575 is transmitted to the rotation base 1535 via a shaft member 1535a formed by fixing the transmission gear 1575 to one end. As a result, the rotating shaft base 1559 attached integrally with the rotating base 1535 rotates, so that the guide surface sliding portion 1557 of the projecting member 1547 provided on the rotating shaft base 1559 is It will slide on the outer periphery in a predetermined direction.
The protruding member 1547 is easily visible against the urging of the elastic member (spring) 1549 when the guide surface sliding portion 1557 is positioned at the first position 1565 of the annular guide surface 1563 by the rotation operation. The main body 1551 protrudes from the appearance position 1548 (see FIG. 66).
When the guide surface sliding portion 1557 reaches the second position 1567 of the annular guide surface 1563 by moving in the rotational direction (the direction indicated by reference numeral R1 in FIG. 66), the force of the elastic member (spring) 1549 The guide surface sliding portion 1557 falls to the second position 1567. Due to the dropping operation, the projecting member 1547 is rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation direction (the retraction direction indicated by reference numeral R2 in FIG. 66) by the force of the spring 1549, and is accommodated in the retraction position 1546 (the gap 1577) that is difficult to see. To do. Thereafter, the guide surface sliding portion 1557 slides on the gentle curved surface 1569 and is positioned at the adjacent first position 1565. Thus, when the protruding member 1547 reaches the first position 1565 via the guide surface sliding portion 1557, the protruding member 1547 protrudes and is positioned at an easily visible appearance position 1548. This operation is repeated by the rotation operation, and the protruding member 1547 moves alternately between the first position 1565 and the second position 1567.

  With this configuration, the movable member 1531 moved from the retracted position (initial position) 1546 to the appearance position 1548 is rotated in a predetermined direction by the driving means (motor) 1523 at the appearance position 1548 and the LED 1541 is operated. And 1542, the front side of the movable member 1531 and the protruding member 1547 emit light. More specifically, the protruding member 1547 is a transparent member formed in a predetermined flat blade shape, and has a light introducing portion 1553 at the lower end. The protruding inner surface side of the protruding member 1547 is the first position. Since the LED 1542 is disposed so as to face the LED 1542 on the back surface side of the LED substrate 1543 when the LED 1542 is in the protruding state (position shown in FIGS. 66 and 69), the light from the LED 1542 is Irradiated toward the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553, the main body 1551 is displayed as a light emission effect.

In addition, the light emitted from the LED 1542 is reflected and diffused by the concave inner surface and is also irradiated to the surface portion of the main body 1551. Since the predetermined lens cut 1551a is formed on the surface of the main body 1551, the irradiated light is Reflected and diffused by the lens cut 1551a, the entire body 1551 produces a light emission effect (see FIG. 69).
Note that when the protruding member 1547 is accommodated in the retracted position 1546 (the gap 1577), the light introducing portion 1553 is not in a position corresponding to the LED 1542.
In addition, a large number of LEDs 1541 are provided on the front side of the LED substrate 1543, each of which performs a predetermined issuance effect according to the setting, and emits an annular ornament 1537 and a decorative member 1533 through the rotation base 1535. At this time, the LED 1541 is provided at a position corresponding to a decorative display portion 1538 that is integrally formed from the annular ornament 1537 and arranged in parallel below the decorative member 1533 together with a light emitting effect in the front direction by a large number of LEDs 1541. . Therefore, if a predetermined character design, character name, or the like is displayed on the decoration display unit 1538, a predetermined light emission effect is achieved when the light from the LED 1541 is irradiated.
Although not limited in particular, it is also possible to provide more LEDs so that the protruding member 1547 can cope with any position.

In this state, a guide rail in which the inner rails 37 are arranged to face each other along the inner side of the outer rail 36 is configured.

  In this case, it is assumed that the game ball that is launched from the launching device 26 and flows out to the upper side of the game area 1p rolls down while colliding with a plurality of game nails (not shown) or the like, and wins, for example, the general prize opening 30 Then, a signal that detects this is supplied to the main control board 28. At this time, a command for giving out a predetermined number of game balls is output from the main control board 28 (see FIG. 100) to the payout / firing control board 34 (see FIG. 102), and payout / firing control is performed based on the payout command. When the substrate 34 (see FIG. 102) controls the payout device 35, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out from the payout device 35 and supplied to the upper plate 17.

  Further, when the handle grip 26d of the launch handle 26b is rotated by the player during the game, the payout / launch control board 34 drives the drive device according to the amount of rotation (rotation angle) and Control to fire the stored game balls.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, conventionally, guide rails (outer rails, inner rails) are integrated with the game board, and when replacing the game board, both the outer rail and the inner rail must be connected. At the same time, it was necessary to replace both the outer and inner rails 36 and 37 at the same time as before when the game board 1 was replaced because the outer rail 36 was configured separately from the game board 1. Therefore, it is only necessary to replace the inner rail 37, so that the replacement operation can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

  Furthermore, in the case where the game board is provided with both outer and inner rails as in the prior art, when the game board is attached to the main body frame, it is extremely important to align with the launching device already attached to the main body frame. Become. At this time, if the positions of the launching device and the guide rail are slightly deviated, the ball jump may become unstable. Therefore, in the case of the conventional gaming machine form, it is designed with sufficient consideration of the relationship between the mounting of the gaming board, the position and angle of the guide rail provided in the gaming board, and the position of the launching device provided in the main body frame. Installation has to be performed, and manufacturing and mounting are troublesome, and there is a risk of increasing costs.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the outer rail 36 is mounted on the main body frame base plate 2a of the main body frame 2 together with the launching device 26 as described above, the firing device 26 and the guide rail (outer rail 36) are used. Are attached to the same place, and each positioning can be performed easily and accurately. Therefore, the ball jumping becomes very stable, and a very useful action and effect can be achieved without giving stress to the player.

  In the present embodiment, the number of fasteners 27a to 27e that detachably fasten the game board 1 provided on the main body frame base plate 2a is also considered in order to execute the above-described specific effects. That is, according to the present embodiment, the ball frame is stabilized by adopting a form in which the main body frame base plate 2a is provided with the guide rail (outer rail 36) together with the launching device 26. If 1 itself is not firmly attached to the main body frame 2 (main body frame base plate 2a), the position of the guide rail (specifically, the position where the outer rail 36 and the inner rail 37 face each other) is shifted. As a result, it becomes impossible to execute the operations and effects peculiar to the present embodiment, such as ball jump stability. In particular, if the main body frame base plate 2a is distorted or the like, this problem appears remarkably, and the above-mentioned specific effects cannot be achieved.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the fasteners 27 are respectively provided at positions facing the upper and lower four corners of the game board 1 of the main body frame base plate 2a, and the four fasteners 27a to 27d are provided on the back surface of the main body frame base plate 2a. The game board 1 is provided with a single fastener 27e at a predetermined position of the main body frame base plate 2a in order to firmly and firmly hold it, and at least fix the lower center of the game board 1 to the main body frame base plate 2a. The inner rail base end region 1 is pressed against the main body frame base plate 2a to be closely fixed. As a result, the position of the guide rail (the facing position of the outer rail 36 on the main body frame 2 and the inner rail 37 on the game board 1) is not shifted, and the characteristic of the present embodiment such as stable ball jumping does not occur. Execution of the effect can be achieved.

  Conventionally, a configuration in which the liquid crystal display device 4 is directly disposed on the back side of the game board 1 is often employed. However, in such a configuration, when the game board 1 is replaced / discarded, the liquid crystal display device 4 is also replaced / discarded together, resulting in an increase in cost. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the game board 1 can be made inexpensive because the game board 1 is disposed on the main body frame 2 and the liquid crystal display device 4 is disposed on the rear frame 5 on the back side thereof. In addition, the liquid crystal display device 4 can be reused.

  Further, the main body frame 2 is provided with a speaker 10c for performing an effect by sound at the center of the lower portion of the main body frame opening 2h. Note that the sound emitted from the speaker 10c is emitted from the speaker cover 10k (see FIG. 1) provided in the part of the dish unit 8 of the front frame 3 (specifically, the part between the upper dish 17 and the lower dish 18). , See FIGS. 2 and 95).

  Here, the back side of the speaker 10c is covered with a cover member 38 provided on the back surface of the main body frame 2 (see FIG. 6). In this case, the cover member 38 includes various harnesses, cords, and the like. It is preferable to provide a wiring holding mechanism for holding the wiring 39. In FIG. 98, as an example of the wiring holding mechanism, a configuration is shown in which a holding piece 40 is provided to hold the wiring 39 between the cover members 38, but the configuration is limited to this configuration. However, as other methods, for example, a method of holding various wirings 39 on each cover member 38 with an adhesive tape (not shown), or a screw with a washer (not shown) is fastened to each cover member 38. A method of holding the various wirings 39 between the washer and each cover member 38 can also be applied.

  By the way, the main body frame 2 is provided with electrical components (for example, the launching device 26, the main control board 28, the relay board 32, etc.) important for the gaming machine, including the gaming board 1 described above. For this reason, it is required that the main body frame 2 is not easily unlocked from the outer frame 6 (see FIG. 1). Further, the main body frame 2 is rotatably supported by the outer frame 6 via a main body frame hinge 2b (see FIG. 1), and a main body provided on the upper right side of the panel body 26a of the launching device 26 described above. The main body frame 2 can be opened from the outer frame 6 by inserting and rotating a predetermined opening / closing key (not shown) in the frame opening / closing key hole 41 (see FIGS. 1, 2 and 97).

In this case, for example, an unauthorized instrument (or an unauthorized member) such as a piano wire is inserted into the rear surface of the main body frame 2 from the main body frame opening / closing key hole 41 or the vicinity thereof, and the main body frame opening / closing key hole 41 is inserted into the rear side. An unauthorized act of unlocking the locking device by directly accessing the constructed locking device (not shown) is assumed.
Therefore, in order to prevent the main body frame 2 from being easily opened (that is, the locking device is not easily unlocked), the entire periphery of the locking device on the back surface (see FIG. 98) of the main body frame 2 is the cover member 42. Covered by. Thereby, the above-mentioned fraudulent acts can be prevented in advance.

<Rear frame 5>
The rear frame 5 includes a rear frame base plate 5a and various rear frame constituent members provided in the rear frame base plate 5a. The rear frame constituent members include various electric components including the liquid crystal display device 4. Note that the rear frame constituent members are not limited to these, and all members constituting the rear frame 5 are included.

  As shown in FIG. 102, in the rear frame 5, the rear frame base plate 5 a has various electrical components (the liquid crystal display device 4, the sub control board 33, and a sub relay board 43 that transfers signals to the sub control board 33. , A sub-ROM relay board 44 in which a program related to game effects is stored, a power supply board 45 for supplying power, and the like.

  In this case, the rear frame 5 is provided with a liquid crystal display device 4 at a position facing the front frame opening 3h, the main body frame opening 2h, and the game board opening 1h. Specifically, the liquid crystal display device 4 is detachably provided on the front surface (front surface) of the rear frame base plate 5a of the rear frame 5 at a position facing the back surface of the main body frame 2 (see FIG. 101). . In this case, the display mode of the liquid crystal display device 4 is controlled by the sub control board 33 based on the command from the main control board 28. For example, in the present embodiment, a liquid crystal display (LCD) is assumed as the liquid crystal display device 4.

  In the rear frame 5, the liquid crystal display device 4, the sub control board 33, the sub ROM relay board 44, the sub relay board 43, the dispensing / launch control board 34, the power board 45, etc. For example, it is preferable to accommodate the electrical component housing members 4a, 33a, 44a, 43a, 34a, and 45a having predetermined shapes.

In this embodiment, the electrical component housing members 4a, 33a, 44a, 43a, 34a, and 45a are configured to be able to be confirmed internally with a transparent synthetic resin material. The first surface portion 60 that houses various electrical components, And a second surface portion 61 which is the back surface (opposite surface).
Although not particularly illustrated, each electrical component includes a connector, and is electrically connected via a predetermined wiring (for example, an assembled wire in which a plurality of wires are bundled, a so-called harness) 515. The wiring 515 has a connector at one end, and the connector is connected to a connector of a predetermined electrical component.

  In addition, this embodiment is also characterized in that a wiring holding member (also referred to as a harness case) 500 that holds the wiring is provided (see FIGS. 125 to 128).

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control board 33, the sub-relay board 43, and the sub-ROM relay board 44 that constitute the back unit are respectively connected to the second part of the electrical component housing member (liquid crystal bracket) 4a that houses the liquid crystal display device 4. Are arranged in a row in the horizontal direction (rear side) 61, and each adopts a form (Board to Board) in which connectors are directly connected to each other. In this embodiment, the sub control board 33, the sub relay board 43, and the sub ROM relay board 44 are covered with a single transparent cover member (not shown) so as to be opened and closed.

In the present embodiment, the electric component housing member (liquid crystal bracket) 4 a is configured to be detachable from the rear frame base plate 5 a of the rear frame 5.
The electrical component housing member (liquid crystal bracket) 4a has a pair of insertion pieces (not shown) protruding at one end in the longitudinal direction at a predetermined interval, and a screwing piece 4a-1 that can be screwed to the other end. , 4a-1 project from each other in the vertical direction (see FIG. 101). A pair of insertion piece insertion holes (not shown) are provided at predetermined positions on the rear frame base plate 5a, and a pair of female screw portions (not shown) are provided at predetermined positions on the opposite rear frame base plate 5a. Yes. Therefore, when the electric component housing member (liquid crystal bracket) 4a is attached to the rear frame base plate 5a, each not-shown insertion piece of the electric component housing member (liquid crystal bracket) 4a is inserted into each not-shown insertion piece insertion hole. Then, the screwing pieces 4a-1 and 4a-1 are screwed and fixed to female screw portions (not shown).

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the sub control board 33 and the sub control board 33 are mounted on the second surface portion 61 of the liquid crystal bracket (electrical component housing member) 4a for housing the liquid crystal display device 4 by screwing or fitting, for example. A unit configuration in which the relay substrate 43 and the sub ROM relay substrate 44 are integrally provided is adopted, and this unit configuration is changed from the rear frame base plate 5a as described above to the screwing pieces 4a-1 of the liquid crystal bracket (electric component housing member) 4a. The liquid crystal display device 4, the sub-control board 33, the sub-relay board 43, and the sub-ROM relay board 44 can be integrated and easily attached / removed only by attaching / detaching the screws fixing the screws 4a-1. Therefore, a test of the liquid crystal display device 4 (for example, a test of whether or not the liquid crystal display device 4 operates normally) can be easily performed with this unit configuration.

  As a result, not only can the sub control board 33, the sub relay board 43, and the sub ROM relay board 44 be separately replaced independently, but also only different sub ROM relay boards 44 can be used to execute various different effects. It becomes possible. In this case, regarding the sub ROM relay board 44, in order to prevent illegal acts such as falsification and reading (duplication) of the program, it is possible to visually check whether or not the sub ROM relay board 44 is illegally accessed. 46 "(see FIG. 10). “Caulking” means sealing, insulation locking (binding), and the like.

  In addition, on the back surface of the rear frame 5 (see FIG. 102), for example, a ball tank 47 for housing game balls to be paid out as rental balls or prize balls, and a plurality of game balls from the ball tank 47 are continuously provided. A rail unit 48 to be rolled down, a payout device 35 (specifically, covered by a payout device case 49) that can be continued to the lower end of the rail unit 48, and a payout from the payout device 35 A ball payout passage (not shown) for supplying the played game balls to the upper plate 17 is continuously provided.

  In such a configuration, if a game ball launched into the game area 1p wins a general winning opening 30, for example, a signal that detects this is transmitted to the main control board 28. At this time, a command for giving out a predetermined number of game balls is output from the main control board 28 (see FIG. 100) to the payout / firing control board 34 (see FIG. 102), and payout / firing control is performed based on the payout command. By controlling the payout device 35 by the substrate 34, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out one by one by the payout device 35 among the plurality of game balls rolling down the rail unit 48 from the ball tank 47. It flows down the passage (not shown) and is supplied to the upper plate. In FIG. 102, since the payout device 35 is accommodated in the payout device case 49, the outline of the payout device is not shown by indicating the accommodation position with the reference numeral 35.

  Here, in the conventional gaming machine, the game board is detachably provided on the front surface (front frame side) of the main body frame, and the liquid crystal display device is provided on the front surface (main body frame side) of the rear frame. What is provided so that attachment or detachment is possible is known. Therefore, when it is desired to remove both the game board and the liquid crystal display device at the time of maintenance, etc., the following steps have to be performed.

  First, when it is desired to remove the game board from the main body frame, it is necessary to rotate the front frame with respect to the main body frame. When it is desired to remove the liquid crystal display device from the rear frame, the main body frame needs to be rotated with respect to the outer frame, and then the rear frame needs to be rotated with respect to the main body frame. Therefore, the corresponding frame must be rotated at least three times (for example, the main body frame is rotated with respect to the outer frame, and both the front frame and the rear frame are rotated with respect to the main body frame).

  On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the game board 1 is detachably provided on the back surface (see FIG. 97) of the main body frame 2, and the liquid crystal display device 4 is opposed to the back surface (back surface) of the main body frame 2. In this position, it is detachably provided on the front surface (front surface) (see FIG. 101) of the rear frame 5 so that both the game board 1 and the liquid crystal display device 4 can be removed with one touch (the main body frame 2 and the rear frame). 5), it can be efficiently performed. In addition, as a method of attaching the liquid crystal display device 4, the liquid crystal display device 4 may be detachably provided not only on the front surface (front surface) of the rear frame 5 but also on the rear surface of the rear frame 5.

  The payout device case 49 covering the payout device 35 is rotatably supported at the lower end of the rail unit 48 via a hinge mechanism 50 provided on the upper end side of the payout device 35 and rotates the payout device case 49. Thus, in the state where the dispensing device 35 is exposed (see FIG. 103), the posture at that time can be maintained. Therefore, a first locking piece 49a is provided on the upper end side of the dispensing device case 49, and a second locking piece 48a on which the first locking piece 49a can be locked is provided on the lower end side of the rail unit 48. Provided (see FIGS. 103 and 104).

  In this case, the first locking piece 49a and the second locking piece 48a have such a shape that their parts (tip portions) are hooked to each other. Here, when the dispensing device case 49 is rotated to expose the dispensing device 35, the first locking piece 49a and the second locking piece 48a are hooked to each other. The posture in which the device 35 is exposed is maintained. On the other hand, when the dispensing device case 49 is rotated in the opposite direction, the catch between the first locking piece 49a and the second locking piece 48a is released following this, and the corresponding dispensing The dispensing device 35 can be covered by the device case 49.

  The payout device 35 can be switched between a position where the game ball can be paid out (see FIG. 105) and a position where the game ball can be removed (see FIG. 106). In this case, at the position where the game ball can be paid out, the payout device 35 is in a state where the lower end surface 35a is supported by the detachment mechanism 51, and the upper end surface 35b abuts on the rail unit 48 described above. Yes. The detaching mechanism 51 includes a detachable lever 53 that is rotatably supported by a rotating shaft 52. One end of the detachable lever 53 comes into contact with the lower end surface 35a of the payout device 35, whereby the payout device 35 is The upper end surface 35b abuts on the rail unit 48 while being supported by the detaching mechanism 51 (detaching lever 53) (see FIG. 105). As a result, the rail unit 48 (specifically, the ball passage 48a built in the rail unit 48) and the dispensing device 35 communicate with each other, thereby rolling down the rail unit 48 (ball passage 48a). The game ball can be introduced into the payout device 35.

  On the other hand, in the position where the detachment is possible (see FIG. 106), the detachable lever 53 is rotated and one end thereof is avoided from the lower end surface 35a of the dispensing device 35 (that is, the detachable mechanism 51 (the detachable lever 53). ) Is released), and thus the dispensing device 35 can be slid downward. In this case, the payout device 35 can be easily detached from the rear surface of the rear frame 5 by sliding the payout device 35 downward and then pulling it forward.

  By the way, when the payout device 35 is removed, the game ball from the ball tank 47 rolls down on the rail unit 48 (ball passage 48a), so that the game ball is transferred to the rail unit 48 (ball passage 48a). It is assumed that it will flow out and fall. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, a ball drop prevention mechanism 54 (see FIGS. 105 to 107A) is provided on the back surface of the rear frame 5.

  As shown in FIG. 107A, the ball drop prevention mechanism 54 is constructed on the lower end side of the rail unit 48 described above, and the ball drop prevention mechanism cover body 48p is detachably attached to the rail unit 48. Is housed inside. In this case, the ball drop prevention mechanism 54 always urges the ball drop prevention main body 55 having a ball stopper 55p protruding toward the ball passage 48a of the rail unit 48 and the ball drop prevention main body 55 toward the ball passage. And a moving means for moving the ball drop prevention main body 55 in a direction away from the ball passage 48a against the urging force of the urging means 56. In the drawing, a compression coil spring is shown as an example of the urging means 56, but an air spring using the elastic force of compressed air may be used instead.

  The moving means includes a lever 57 rotatably supported by the ball drop prevention mechanism cover body 48p, and a front end portion 57a of the lever 57 (specifically, an inclined surface 55s to be described later in the front end portion 57a). The abutting portion 57p) can be abutted and has an inclined surface 55s formed on the ball drop preventing main body 55. The inclined surface 55s is configured to extend along the protruding direction of the ball stopper 55p and form a gradient along a direction away from the ball stopper 55p. Note that the gradient (inclination angle) of the inclined surface 55s is set according to, for example, the shape and size of the ball drop prevention main body 55, and is not particularly limited here. In addition, the lever 57 is pivotally supported by the rail unit 48 at a rotation shaft 58 provided at the base end portion 57 b.

  Further, in order to make the direction in which the ball drop prevention main body 55 is moved by the moving means constant, a guide piece 59 is extended to the end face of the ball drop prevention main body 55, and the guide piece 59 is a rail unit. It can move along a guide groove (not shown) extending to 48. In this case, the extending direction of the guide groove and the guide piece 59 is defined as a direction in which the ball stopper 55p can be inserted into the ball passage 48a of the rail unit 48 or the ball stopper 55p can be escaped from the ball passage 48a. be able to.

  In such a configuration, when the tip 57a is pressed and the lever 57 is rotated, the contact 57p of the tip 57a contacts the inclined surface 55s of the ball drop prevention main body 55, and the contact force at this time is the inclined surface. The component is divided into a component perpendicular to 55s and a component in the inclination direction along the inclined surface 55s. For this reason, if the tip 57a is continuously pressed against the inclined surface 55s and a contact force against the inclined surface 55s is continuously applied, the guide piece 59 moves in one direction along the guide groove. The ball drop prevention main body 55 can be moved in the same direction against the urging force of the urging means 56 (in other words, retracted from the ball passage 48a) (see FIG. 107 (c)). On the other hand, when the pressing force on the lever 57 is released, at the same time, only the urging force of the urging means 56 acts on the ball drop prevention main body 55, and accordingly, the guide piece 59 is moved along the guide groove. By moving in the direction, the ball drop prevention main body 55 can be moved in the same direction (in other words, advanced toward the ball passage 48a) (see FIG. 107 (b)).

  Therefore, in a state where such a ball drop prevention mechanism is provided in the rail unit 48, when the payout device 35 is at a position where the game ball can be paid out (see FIG. 105), the tip end portion 57a is formed by the upper end surface 35b of the payout device 35. The lever 57 is rotated by being pressed, and as a result, a contact force is applied to the inclined surface 55s of the ball drop prevention main body 55 from the contact portion 57p of the tip end portion 57a. By retreating against the urging force of 56, the ball stopper 55p can be escaped from the ball passage 48a (see FIGS. 105 and 107 (c)). At this time, the rail unit 48 (ball passage 48 a) and the payout device 35 communicate with each other, so that the game balls rolling down the rail unit 48 (ball passage 48 a) can be introduced into the payout device 35.

  On the other hand, when the payout device 35 is in a detachable position (see FIG. 106), the pressing state of the upper end surface 35 b of the payout device 35 against the distal end portion 57 a of the lever 57 is released. Only the urging force of the urging means 56 acts on the ball drop prevention main body 55, and as a result, the ball drop prevention main body 55 moves forward, so that the ball stopper 55p can enter the ball passage 48a (FIG. 106). 107 (b)). As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a problem that the game ball flows out of the rail unit 48 (ball path 48a) and falls.

<About transparent plate unit>
The transparent plate unit 7 provided in the front frame 3 includes a first transparent plate 100 located on the near side as viewed from the player side when the gaming machine is installed in the island facility, and the first transparent plate 100. The second transparent plate 101 located behind the first transparent plate 100, and the first transparent plate 100 and the first transparent plate 100 with the predetermined space 102 disposed between the first transparent plate 100 and the second transparent plate 101. The transparent plate holding frame 103 that holds the two transparent plates 101 is provided (see FIGS. 108 to 110).
In the present embodiment, the first transparent plate 100 and the second transparent plate 101 employ the same glass plate having a predetermined shape and a predetermined thickness.

The transparent plate holding frame 103 has holding portions 103a and 103a for holding the first transparent plate 100 and the second transparent plate 101 in the front and rear, respectively, and is arranged between the holding portion 103a and the holding portion 103a. The intermediate portion 103b has a plurality of communication holes 104 communicating with a predetermined space 102 formed between the first transparent plate 100 and the second transparent plate 101 (FIG. 110). .
The first transparent plate 100 and the second transparent plate 101 are integrally fixed to the holding portions 103a and 103a of the transparent plate holding frame 103 through an adhesive, respectively.

The communication holes 104 are a first communication hole 104a and a second communication hole 104b provided at positions facing each other in the vertical direction.
As described above, in the present embodiment, since the first communication hole 104a and the second communication hole 104b are provided at the opposite positions of the transparent plate holding frame 103, they pass through the space 102 from the outside of the transparent plate unit 7. As a result, an air circulation path that escapes outward is effectively formed (FIGS. 109 and 110).

In addition, the first communication hole 104a and the second communication hole 104b are provided at positions that do not contact the front frame opening (window) 3h of the front frame base plate 3a. In other words, the hole is not blocked by the grounding surface of the opening, and the air flow path is not blocked by this configuration.
In the present embodiment, each of the first communication hole and the second communication hole is formed by a group of three holes.

  Note that the first transparent plate and the second transparent plate are in a state of rolling down of the game ball of the game board 1 provided in the main body frame 2 located at the rear, and various effects (effects movable effect and image effects) Etc.)

  The communication hole 104 is not limited to the present embodiment in terms of the hole diameter, the number and position of the communication holes, and the optimum specification is adopted in consideration of strength and air permeability.

A plurality of communication holes 104 (104a, 104b) provided in the transparent plate holding frame 103 allows a space 102 between the two transparent plates 100, 101 from one of the communication holes 104 (104a, 104b) and other communication. Since an air flow path through which air flows to the holes 104 (104a, 104b) is secured, moisture in the space can be effectively removed without a desiccant chamber or a desiccant.
Accordingly, there is no risk of increasing the overall size of the transparent plate unit 7, and a high cost can be suppressed because a desiccant is not required.

In addition, as an attachment method of the transparent plate unit 7 with respect to the back surface of the front frame 3, for example, the following structure is employ | adopted in this embodiment (refer FIG. 95).

<About the ball passage cover>
As described above, the lower plate cover 8b of the lower plate 18 constituting the table frame constituting member is attached to the table frame base plate 3a via the locking structure (see FIG. 1).
That is, the lower plate cover 8b includes a locking portion 203 that protrudes in the horizontal direction rearward, and the front frame base plate 3a has a locking hole 204 that can lock the locking portion 203 of the lower plate cover 8b. It is provided penetrating at a predetermined position (see FIGS. 111 and 113).

The locking portion 203 is provided with a thin plate-like main body 203a that protrudes horizontally from the lower plate cover 8b, and a substantially arrowhead-type locking claw that is provided at the tip of the main body 203a and that can be locked to the periphery of the locking hole 204. Part 203b.
Thus, since the lower plate cover 8b is attached to the front frame base plate 3a via the locking structure, it can be detached when the locked state is released.

In the present embodiment, the locking claw portion 203b of the lower plate cover 8b locked in the locking hole 204 in this way cannot be easily removed except when necessary. A holding portion 202 that can hold the locked state is provided.
The holding unit 202 of the present embodiment adopts a configuration in which the discharge port 19 and the supply port 20 provided in the front frame base plate 3a are connected to the supply passage 20 so as to be integrated with the spherical passage cover 21a that forms the spherical passage 21. (See FIGS. 111 and 113).

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 111, the ball passage cover 21a is composed of two members, an upper cover 200 and a lower cover 201, which are detachably attached to the front frame base plate 3a.
In the present embodiment, when the lower cover 201 is attached to the front frame base plate 3a, the locking hole 204 is located on the side of the lower cover 201. A holding portion 202 that holds the locking state of the portion 203 and the locking hole 204 is integrally provided, and the holding portion 202 functions as a drop-off prevention portion that prevents the locking claw portion 203b from dropping off ( (See FIG. 111).

  The holding portion 202 is a plate-like member that protrudes in the horizontal direction from the side surface (the right side surface in the drawing) of the lower cover 201, and when the lower cover 201 is attached and fixed to a predetermined position of the front frame base plate 3a, The holding portion 202 is provided so as to cross a predetermined position of the locking hole 204 (see FIGS. 111 and 113). The shape of the holding unit 202 is not limited to the illustrated form.

That is, the latching claw portion 203b is inserted from the front of the front frame base plate 3a in a state where it is pushed down against its elasticity, and its elastic return is returned on the back side of the front frame base plate 3a. It is locked to the upper peripheral edge of the locking hole 204 by force.
When the lower cover 201 is attached and fixed at a predetermined position of the front frame base plate 3a, the drop-off prevention portion (holding portion) 202 is engaged with the locking claw portion 203a that is locked to the upper peripheral edge of the locking hole 204. It is located immediately below (see FIGS. 111 and 113).

  Therefore, if the ball passage cover 21a (lower cover 201) connecting the upper plate 17 and the lower plate 18 is disposed on the back side of the front frame base plate 3a as usual, the holding portion of the ball passage cover 21a (lower cover 201). (Falling prevention portion) 202 locks the lower plate cover (table frame constituent member) 8a that is detachably provided on the front frame base plate 3a through a locking structure including the locking portion 203 and the locking hole 204. Can not be inadvertently released, and the ball path cover 21a (lower cover 201) can also be used for functions other than the function as the ball path 21, thereby increasing the usefulness of the ball path cover.

  Moreover, the latching claw 203b of the lower plate cover (table frame constituent member) 8a is configured to be easily detachable so as to be latched by the latching hole 204 of the table frame base plate 3a against its elasticity. While it is easy to attach the lower plate cover (table frame constituent member) 8a, if the ball passage cover 21a (lower cover 201) is attached to the back side of the table frame base plate 3a, the ball passage cover 21a (lower cover 201) is attached. The provided drop prevention part (holding part) 202 suppresses the downward movement of the locking claw part 230b immediately below the locking claw part 203b. Dropout is easily prevented.

Note that the configuration of the holding portion (drop-off preventing portion) that prevents the table frame constituent member from being released is not limited to the present embodiment. That is, the front frame base member 3a is detachably attached to the front frame base plate 3a via the locking structure, and the locking portion of the front frame base member is located on the back side of the front frame base plate 3a. The structure of the holding portion differs depending on whether the holding portion is locked.
Further, the holding portion (drop-off preventing portion) may be attached so as to prevent the locking claw portion locked to the locking hole as a single unit, but the locking claw portion is locked. If there is a front frame constituent member that is detachably provided on the back side of the front frame base plate 3a in the vicinity of the locking hole, a holding part (falling prevention part) is integrally formed with the front frame constituent member. That's fine.

<About the connector cover>
The left decorative member 16 is a member for effecting decoration with light. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 114 to 117, an electronic component (for example, light emitting means, LED: Light Emitting Diode) is used. A left relay substrate (also referred to as a glass left relay substrate) 300 to be mounted, a left light guide lens 302 made of an insulating material that guides light emitted from the light emitting means in a predetermined direction, and guided through the left light guide lens 302. The upper left lens 16b and the left outer lens 16a for diffusing the emitted light are composed of a terminal 301a for electrical connection to the lower end of the left relay substrate 300 via an electrical component and wiring (harness). A connector 301 is provided.

  In the present embodiment, a plating member 17b is used for an upper plate front decoration (also referred to as a first decorative member) 17c for decorating the upper plate 17 provided on the front surface of the front frame 3, and an end portion of the plating member 17b is The left decorative member (also referred to as second decorative member) 16 is disposed adjacent to a position facing the connector 301 of the left relay board 300 (see FIGS. 1, 2, 114, and 115).

Such a plated member 17b has the effect of gracefully decorating the entire gaming machine and enhancing the decoration effect, but the plated member 17b is easily charged with static electricity.
Therefore, when static electricity is discharged directly from the plating member 17b of the upper dish front decoration 17c to the connector 301 (specifically, the terminal 301a) of the left relay board 300 in the immediate vicinity, it is mounted on the left relay board 300. There is a risk of hindering (damaging) electronic components such as LEDs.
That is, the creepage distance (Creepage Distance) between the connector 301 and the factor that discharges static electricity (the plated member 17b of the upper dish front decoration 17c) is short.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, a connector cover (insulator) 303 that covers the connector 301 of the left relay board 300 is provided, and causes of discharging static electricity (plating member 17b of the upper dish front decoration 17c) and the connector 301 (specifically, The creeping distance from the terminal 301a) is increased.

In the present embodiment, the left relay substrate 300 is formed in an approximately same shape as the planar shape, and is disposed on the left relay substrate 300 and is made of an insulator that guides light from the left relay substrate 300 forward. A connector cover 303 that covers the connector 301 of the left relay substrate 300 is formed integrally with a part of the left light guide lens 302 (see FIG. 116).
That is, a predetermined position on the inner surface facing the left light guide lens 302 is recessed in a box shape so as to cover the connector 301 provided so as to protrude below the surface of the left relay substrate 300 (a box on the outer surface). The connector cover 303 (which protrudes in a shape) is integrally formed.
The connector cover 303 may be configured as a separate part from the left light guide lens 302.

FIG. 117A is a schematic view when the creepage distance to the connector 301 (specifically, the terminal 301a) is increased because the connector cover 303 according to the present embodiment is provided integrally with the left light guide lens 302. FIG. 117 (b) shows a schematic view when the creepage distance to the connector 301 is short when the connector cover is not provided. The arrow in each figure shows the flow of static electricity discharged from the first decorative member (plating member 17b).
When the creepage distance is short, static electricity is directly discharged to the connector 301. However, when the left light guide lens 302 that is an insulator integrally provided with the connector cover 303 is provided as in this embodiment, the creepage distance becomes long. Static electricity is not directly discharged to the connector 301 (terminal 301a).

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the decorative member (the left decorative member 16) provided with the control board (the left relay board 300) adjacent to the decorative member (the upper dish front ornament 17c) provided with the plating member 17b. Is provided with the connector cover 303 for taking a creepage distance between the terminal of the connector 301 provided on the control board (the left relay board 300) and the plating member 17b. It is possible to prevent static electricity from being discharged directly.

  According to this embodiment, since the connector cover 303 is integrally provided on the left light guide lens 302 made of an insulating material, it is possible to prevent static electricity from being directly discharged to the terminals of the connector 301 without deteriorating the aesthetic appearance. In addition, since the left light guide lens 302 is disposed, the connector cover 303 is also disposed at the same time, so that a dedicated cover for the connector is not separately prepared, and the manufacturing cost and work cost are reduced. Can do.

By pressing, the pressing portion 403 comes into contact with a firing stop switch (also referred to as detection means) 26g, and the launch of the game ball is stopped.

  121 shows a state where the pressing portion 403 is in contact with the firing stop switch (also referred to as detecting means) 26g (game ball firing stopped state), and FIG. 122 shows a state where the pressing is stopped from the firing stop switch (also referred to as detecting means) 26g. A state where the unit 403 is separated (a state where a game ball can be launched) is shown.

The sliding portion 404 is formed of a member having excellent sliding performance, for example, a self-lubricating member such as polyacetal POM, polyamide, or polyethylene.
The operation unit 402 is a flame retardant member such as flame retardant V-0 grade, for example, a flame retardant member such as polycarbonate (polycarbonate PC), polystyrene (polystyrene PS), or flame retardant ABS resin (FR-ABS). Is formed.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the firing stop button (operation member) 26e is formed of a self-lubricating material only in the sliding portion 404, and the operation portion 402 is formed of a flame retardant member. It is possible to provide a button mechanism that is resistant to a disaster such as a fire while maintaining the operability of the stop button (operation member) 26e.
Therefore, even if the player operates the firing handle 26b while holding a cigarette with fire, even if the player tries to ignite the firing handle 26b to heal the game, the firing is stopped. Since the operation unit 402 of the button 26e is difficult to ignite, there is little risk of fire and safety is high.

  Although the operation unit 402 and the sliding unit 404 are arranged integrally, this means that the operation unit 402 and the sliding unit 404 need only be arranged so as to perform the same movement. Yes, it does not mean that it is integrally molded. For example, in the case of being united by being separable with an adhesive or the like and in the case of being united so as to be separable such as key connection or fitting, both are assumed, and are not construed as limiting in any way.

According to such a configuration, the light emitted from the light emitting means (LED) 606a can generate, for example, radiant light or diffused light having excellent aesthetics from the surface decoration member 607. Can be improved. The light emitting means (LED) 606a is controlled by the sub control board 33 (see FIG. 102).

  In this case, the button electrical decoration board 606 on which the light emitting means (LED) 606a is constructed and the surface decoration member 607 (the lens 607a, the diffusion sheet 607b) can be configured as the above-described effect execution means. Depending on the state of the light, the light emitted from the light emitting means (LED) 606a is irradiated onto the diffusion sheet 607b, so that the lens 607a generates, for example, radiated light or diffused light having excellent aesthetics according to the gaming state. be able to.

  In addition, as an example of the pressing operation state detection unit, a detection piece (also referred to as a detection member) 608 is provided on the press base 605, and a sensor substrate 609 for detecting the detection piece 608 is fixed to the base member 600. Can be configured. In such a configuration, the sensor substrate 609 is provided with a sensor unit 609s that detects a protruding state (for example, the number of protrusions and protrusions, a protrusion / retraction timing, etc.) of the detection piece 608 that protrudes and retracts together with the pressing base 605 (pressing operation means). ing. In this case, when the pressing operation is performed, for example, by detecting the number of protrusions and protrusions and the protrusion timing of the detection piece 608 that comes in and out (projects and retracts) with respect to the sensor unit 609s, It is possible to accurately detect the number of times the player presses the pressing operation means with, for example, a finger or the like, and the timing at which the player performs the protrusion / retraction operation.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 131, the rotation operation mechanism 601 is supported on the base member 600, and the rotation operation means that the player can rotate with, for example, fingers, and the rotation that detects the rotation operation state of the rotation operation means. A plurality of spherical members 610 (for example, metal spheres, balls, and the like) that are provided between the operation state detection unit and are rotated between the rotation operation unit and the base member 600 and follow the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit. I have.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine having such a rotation operation mechanism 601 (operation unit 9) is provided with an effect execution means, whereby the rotation operation state of the rotation operation means is detected by the rotation operation state detection means. Thus, a predetermined effect can be executed. In this case, for example, the liquid crystal display device 4 (see FIG. 101), the sub control board 33 (see FIG. 102), or the like can be applied as the effect execution means.

  According to this, for example, assuming a case where an effect about “a command to be rotated (turn the jog dial!)” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 4, the player rotates the rotation operation means according to the command. When operated, a predetermined effect (for example, an effect on “rotation operation completion”) is executed on the liquid crystal display device 4 by the sub-control board 33 based on the rotation operation at that time.

  Here, as an example of the rotation operation means, there is a rotation housing 611 rotatably provided on the base member 600, and translucency that can be rotated by a player's finger, for example (light emitting means described later). Rotating cover 613 (which can transmit light from 612a) and rotating lens 614 interposed between rotating cover 613 and rotating housing 611 can be provided.

  The rotating housing 611, the rotating cover 613, and the rotating lens 614 are configured to be integrally combined with each other, whereby the rotating lens 614 and the rotating housing 611 are rotated together with the rotation operation of the rotating cover 613. Further, the above-described light emitting means 612a (for example, LED or the like) is constructed on the jog dial electrical decoration board 612, and the jog dial electrical decoration board 612 is fixed on the base member 600 while being mounted on the fixed base 604. It has come to be.

  In this case, the jog dial electrical decoration substrate 612, the rotating lens 614, and the rotating cover 613 on which the light emitting means (LED) 612a is constructed can be configured as the above-described effect executing means, and according to the state of the game, By irradiating the rotating lens 614 with light emitted from the light emitting means (LED) 612a, the rotating cover 613 can generate, for example, radiated light or diffused light having excellent aesthetics according to the gaming state.

  In addition, as an example of the rotation operation state detection unit, a sensor piece (also referred to as a detection member) 615 (see FIG. 133) is provided in the rotary housing 611, and a sensor for detecting the detection piece 615 rotating with the rotary housing 611. It can be configured by providing 616 (see FIG. 132) on the jog dial electrical decoration substrate 612. The detection piece 615 is provided on the surface 611f of the rotating housing 611 facing the jog dial electrical decoration board 612, is concentric with the rotation center of the rotating housing 611, and has a predetermined interval along the circumferential direction (for example, , At equal intervals).

  On the other hand, two sensors 616 are arranged in the circumferential direction along the position where each detection piece 615 rotating together with the rotating housing 611 can pass on the back surface 612t of the jog dial electrical decoration substrate 612 facing the front surface 611f of the rotating housing 611. The rotation state of the rotation housing 611 (that is, the rotation operation state of the rotation operation means) can be accurately detected by detecting that the detection piece 615 has passed through each sensor 616.

  Note that as an example of a detection method by the sensor 616, each sensor 616 may be configured by arranging a light emitting element 616a and a light receiving element 616b that receives light emitted from the light emitting element 616a to face each other. Accordingly, in each sensor 616, for example, the number of detection pieces 615 that have passed between the light emitting element 616a and the light receiving element 616b, the passage timing, and the like are detected, so that the rotation direction of the rotation operation means (the rotation cover 613) The rotational speed can be accurately detected.

  In such a rotation operation mechanism 601, a plurality of spherical members 610 are rotatably held one by one on the back surface 611t of the rotation housing 611 (the surface opposite to the surface 611f provided with the detection piece 615). The portions 611h are provided at a predetermined interval (for example, at equal intervals) along the circumferential direction (see FIG. 134), while the base member 600 has the above-described surface 600f facing the back surface 611t of the rotating housing 611. A rolling surface 600s on which the spherical member 610 held by the holding portion 611h can roll is provided continuously in an annular shape along the circumferential direction (see FIG. 135).

  As a result, the plurality of spherical members 610 roll along with the base member 600 while being in contact with the back surface 611t of the rotating housing 611 opposite to the surface 611f provided with the detection piece 615. Instead of the holding portion 611h that holds the plurality of spherical members 610 rotatably one by one, a holding portion (not shown) that is continuous in an annular shape along the circumferential direction is configured, and the entire annular holding portion is configured. A plurality of spherical members 610 may be continuously arranged over the entire area. Moreover, about rolling surface 600s, you may make it apply | coat a lubricant here and improve the rolling property of the spherical member 610. FIG.

  As described above, the plurality of spherical members 610 that rotate following the rotation operation of the rotation operation means (the rotation cover 613) are interposed between the rotation operation means (the rotation housing 611) and the base member 600, Compared with the case where the spherical member 610 is not interposed, the rotational operability in the rotational operation means can be dramatically improved. According to this, since the rotation operation of the rotation operation means can be performed smoothly without feeling any sense of incongruity, the player can concentrate only on the game, and as a result, There is no reduction in interest.

  Furthermore, the structure (the back surface 611t on which the spherical member 610 is rotatably contacted) for rotating the rotation operation means smoothly (smoothly) with respect to one member (the rotation housing 611), and the rotation operation state of the rotation operation means. Since the number of parts required for the rotating operation means can be reduced by providing the structure for detecting (the surface 611f provided with the detection piece 615 of the rotating operation state detecting means), the corresponding amount is reduced accordingly. It is possible to reduce the cost of the rotation operation means and to thereby make the rotation operation means compact (space saving).

  By the way, as shown in FIGS. 136 and 137, the operation unit 9 as described above has a predetermined attachment mechanism in a state in which the rotation operation mechanism 601 and the pressing operation mechanism 602 are assembled and integrated on the base member 600. The pachinko gaming machine can be detachably mounted on the pachinko gaming machine, whereby the above-mentioned operating means (pressing operating means, rotating operating means) constituting the operating unit 9 are connected to the pachinko gaming machine. It can be detachably attached to.

  Here, the place where the operation unit 9 is mounted is not particularly limited because it is set according to the purpose of use or usage environment of the pachinko gaming machine including, for example, a part that is easily operated by the player. 136 and 137, as an example, it is assumed that the operation unit 9 is detachably provided on the upper plate upper cover 8a constituting the table frame 3.

  The attachment mechanism is formed through the upper plate upper cover 8a, and the attachment hole 617 in which the operation unit 9 can be inserted and disposed, and the attachment hole 617 on the back surface (back surface) side of the upper plate upper cover 8a. A pair of mounting bosses 618 provided opposite to both sides of the upper plate upper cover 8a and a pair of mounting bosses 618 provided on both sides of the upper plate upper cover 8a. Fixing means for detachably fixing the operation unit 9 to the upper plate upper cover 8a through a pair of mounting bosses 618 in a state of being inserted and arranged.

  In this case, the pair of mounting bosses 618 is provided with a shaft portion 618a raised from the back surface (back surface) side of the upper plate upper cover 8a, and a head portion provided at the tip of the shaft portion 618a and larger than the shaft portion 618a. 618b. As the mounting boss 618, for example, a general screw can be used as the shaft portion 618a, and a washer that is larger than the shaft portion 618a can be configured as the head portion 618b. Further, the shape, size, etc. of the mounting hole 617 are not particularly limited because they are set according to the shape, size, etc. of the operation unit 9 (pressing operation means, rotation operation means) inserted and arranged here.

  In addition, with regard to the arrangement of the fixing means, for example, the operation unit 9 (press operation means, rotation operation means) described above may be constructed directly, or the operation unit 9 (press operation means, rotation operation means) may be constructed. You may build in the said base member 600 in the state assembled | attached and integrated on the base member 600. FIG. Here, as an example, a case is assumed in which fixing means is constructed on the base member 600.

  As shown in FIGS. 130, 135, and 137, the fixing means is formed so as to penetrate both sides of the operation unit 9 (base member 600), and the operation unit 9 (specifically, the rotation operation means) rotates. A pair of fixing elongated holes 619 that extend in an arc shape along the direction and can be moved to both ends in a state where the shaft portions 618a of the pair of mounting bosses 618 are inserted, and a pair of A head insertion / removal portion 619a formed on one end side of the fixing long hole 619 and capable of inserting / removing the head portions 618b of the pair of mounting bosses 618, and on the other end side of the pair of fixing long holes 619 And a head-retaining portion 619b that is formed and cannot be inserted into and removed from the head 618b of the pair of mounting bosses 618.

  According to such fixing means, first, the head unit 618b of the pair of mounting bosses 618 is inserted into the mounting hole 617 from the rotation operating mechanism 601 and the pressing operation mechanism 602 side while the operation unit 9 is inserted into the pair of fixing mechanisms. It is simultaneously inserted into the head insertion / removal part 619a on one end side of the long hole 619 (see FIG. 137), and in this state, the operation unit 9 (specifically, the base member 600) is rotated in one direction, The shaft portion 618 a of the mounting boss 618 is moved to the other end side of the pair of fixing long holes 619. At this time, the head portions 618b of the pair of mounting bosses 618 are in a state of being prevented from being detached by the head retaining portions 619b, and as a result, the operation unit 9 (base member 600) is attached to the pair of mounting bosses 618. It can be fixed and secured. As a result, the operation unit 9 is secured to the upper plate upper cover 8a via the pair of mounting bosses 618 in a state where the operation unit 9 is supported by the base member 600 so as to be able to be rotated (pressed).

  On the other hand, in a state in which the operation unit 9 is secured to the pair of mounting bosses 618, the operation unit 9 (specifically, the base member 600) is first rotated in the other direction, so that the pair The shaft portion 618 a of the mounting boss 618 is moved to one end side of the pair of fixing long holes 619. At this time, the heads 618b of the pair of mounting bosses 618 can be inserted and removed via the head insertion / removal portions 619a of the pair of fixing long holes 619. Thereby, the operation unit 9 (base member 600) can be removed from the pair of mounting bosses 618.

  As described above, according to the attachment mechanism using the pair of attachment bosses 618 and the fixing means (fixing long hole 619), the operation of attaching the operation unit 9 (pressing operation means, rotation operation means) to the upper plate upper cover 8a and Removal work can be done easily and in a short time with one touch. In addition, the attachment mechanism does not require any members such as attachment screws that have been required in the past, so that it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine and to attach and remove the operation unit 9 accordingly. The sex can be improved dramatically.

  Further, the plate unit 8 provided on the surface of the front frame 3 (the front frame base plate 3a) has an upper plate component (an upper plate left decoration 17a, an upper plate front decoration) so as to surround the upper plate upper cover 8a. In addition to 17c and the upper plate body 17p, there are provided, for example, a decorative member for decorating the upper plate, an upper plate lower cover, and the like (not shown). Since it is fixed from the side, it cannot be removed from the front frame 3 unless the front frame 3 is opened from the main body frame 2. Therefore, when the operation unit 9 is attached / detached to / from the upper plate upper cover 8a, the upper plate upper cover 8a is not removed unless all the upper plate components are removed with the front frame 3 opened. The operation unit 9 cannot be attached or detached. Thereby, the operation unit 9 cannot be easily removed by unauthorized access from the player side.

  Here, as an operation of attaching / detaching the operation unit 9 to / from the upper plate upper cover 8a, for example, after all the upper plate components are removed with the front frame 3 opened, and only the upper plate upper cover 8a is left. The operation unit 9 (the rotation operation mechanism 601 and the pressing operation mechanism 602) may be inserted into the attachment hole 617 from the back side of the upper plate upper cover 8a, or the upper plate upper cover 8a may be attached. Insert from the front surface (front surface) (see FIGS. 1 and 2) of the front frame 3 and fix the insertion tip 8p (see FIGS. 136 and 137) from the rear surface (rear surface) side of the front frame 3 (for example, screw fixing) When the operation unit 9 is mounted / removed, the upper plate upper cover 8a is removed together with the upper plate component with the front frame 3 opened, and then the upper plate upper cover 8a is attached to the upper plate upper cover 8a. Same as above The method may be to attach and detach the operation unit 9. In addition, you may make it fix a part or all of an upper plate structural member from the surface (front surface) side of the table frame 3. FIG.

<About the presser member of the light guide plate in the right decorative member>
As shown in FIG. 138, the right decorative member 15 (the upper right lens 15a, the right middle lens 15b, and the right panel cover 15c) includes a light guide plate 700 that uniformly emits light from the end surface 700t inside thereof. A light emitting substrate 702 having a reflector 701 that reflects light, a first light emitting means 702a that emits light toward the end surface 700t of the light guide plate 700, and a second light emitting means 702b that emits light toward the reflector 701. The light guide plate 700 is positioned between the light guide plate 700 and the reflector 701 and the light emitting substrate 702 and is brought into contact with the light guide plate 700 so that the end face 700t faces the first light emitting means 702a. A pressing member 703 to be pressed.

  In the right decorative member 15, the light emitting substrate 702 is composed of two substrate members 702-1 and 702-2, and the pressing member 703 is also composed of two pressing members 703-1 and 703-2. In accordance with this, two light guide plates 700 described above are prepared, and these two light guide plates 700 are parallel to the first light emitting means 702a and have their end faces 700t opposed to the first light emitting means 702a. It is arranged in one direction. In such a configuration, each light guide plate 700 is sandwiched between the reflective sheet 704 and the translucent right panel unit, and one of the right stays 705 positioned on the reflective sheet 704 side. It is designed to be supported on the side.

  Specifically, the right panel unit includes a right panel sheet 706, a right panel cover 15c having a predetermined design, and a right side frame 707 covering the right panel cover 15c in order from the light guide plate 700 side. Has been. In such a configuration, by attaching the right side frame 707 to the right stay 705, the reflection sheet 704, each light guide plate 700, the right panel sheet 706, between the right side frame 707 and one side surface of the right stay 705, The right panel cover 15c is housed in a state where the right panel cover 15c is stacked closely.

  In this case, when light is irradiated from the first light emitting means 702a to the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700, the light is uniformly spread along the light guide plate 700 and then reflected by the reflection sheet 704. Thus, light is emitted in a planar shape from each light guide plate 700 toward the right panel unit. The planar light passes through the right panel cover 15c from the right panel sheet 706, so that the design applied to the right panel cover 15c can be generated and displayed from the right side frame 707 according to the display mode by light. Therefore, the interest in games can be improved.

  In the right decorative member 15, the reflector 701 described above is supported on the other side surface of the right stay 705 (the surface opposite to the side on which the light guide plate 700 is supported). As a method for supporting the reflector 701 with respect to the right stay 705, for example, an existing method such as adhesion or screwing may be applied. As a result, the upper right lens 15a and the right middle lens 15b can be opposed to each other so as to surround the reflector 701.

  In this case, when the reflector 701 is irradiated with light from the second light emitting means 702b, the light randomly reflected from the reflector 701 passes through the upper right lens 15a and the right middle lens 15b, so that it has excellent aesthetics, for example, radiated light or diffused light. Light and the like can be generated, whereby a display mode by light can be changed, so that interest in games can be improved.

  By the way, when a plurality of LEDs 708 are applied as the first and second light emitting units 702a and 702b, for example, the second light emitting unit 702b has a plurality of LEDs 708 extending over the side surface (surface on the reflector 701 side) of the light emitting substrate 702. In the first light emitting means 702a, it is necessary to align a plurality of LEDs 708 in one direction in order to irradiate light along the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700. In this case, the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700 and the plurality of LEDs 708 are required to face each other without deviation.

  Therefore, the right decorative member 15 is provided with a pressing member 703 that positions and fixes each light guide plate 700 and has its end surface 700t opposed to the first light emitting means 702a (that is, a plurality of LEDs 708 aligned in one direction). It has been. In the drawing, as an example of the pressing member 703, a rectangular shape extending along the side surface in the vicinity of the end surface 700t of the light guide plate 700 is shown. Any shape can be used as long as it can be positioned in contact with the side surface near the end surface 700t of the optical plate 700.

  According to this, as shown in FIG. 139, the pressing member 703 is brought into contact with the side surface in the vicinity of the end surface 700 t of the light guide plate 700, and in this state, the attachment portion 703 a of the pressing member 703 is fixed to the right stay 705. Thus, the side surface near the end surface 700t of the light guide plate 700 is sandwiched between the pressing member 703 and the right stay 705. As a result, the side surface of the light guide plate 700 in the vicinity of the end surface 700t is positioned, and as a result, the end surface 700t can be made to face accurately and without misalignment along the alignment direction of the plurality of LEDs 708.

  In this case, it is preferable that the pressing member 703 protrude beyond the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700 so that a part thereof covers the light irradiation path in a state where the press member 703 is in contact with the light guide plate 700. . By doing so, the light emitted from the first light emitting means 702a (the plurality of LEDs 708 aligned in one direction) can be emitted toward the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700 without leakage. As for the shape and size of the pressing member 703 to protrude, for example, the size of the gap between the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700 and the first light emitting means 702a (a plurality of LEDs 708 aligned in one direction) Since it is set according to the configuration or the like, there is no particular limitation here.

  By the way, the right decorative member 15 is not limited to the above-described one, and may be configured as shown in FIG. 141, for example. That is, in the right decorative member 15 of FIG. 141, between the one side surface of the right stay 710 and the right side frame 711, the reflective sheet 712, two light guide plates 713 aligned in order from the right stay 710 side, a predetermined design. The right panel sheet 714 and the right panel cover 715 to which the above are applied are stacked and arranged. In addition, the reflector 716 that reflects light, the light guide lens 717, the first light emitting means 718 a that irradiates light toward the end surface 713 t of the light guide plate 713, and the reflector 716 and the light guide to the other side surface of the right stay 710. A light emitting substrate 718 having second light emitting means 718b that irradiates light toward the lens 717 is disposed to face the lens 717. In the right decorative member 15, the light guide lens 717 is composed of two lens members 717-1 and 717-2, and the light emitting substrate 718 is also composed of two substrate members 718-1 and 718-2. Yes.

  In such a configuration, when light is emitted from the first light emitting means 718a to the end face 713t of each light guide plate 713, the light is uniformly spread along the light guide plate 713 and then reflected by the reflection sheet 712. Thus, light is emitted from each light guide plate 713 in a planar shape. At this time, the planar light passes through the right panel cover 715 from the right panel sheet 714, so that the design applied to the right panel cover 715 is generated and displayed from the right side frame 711 according to the light display mode.

  Further, when light is irradiated from the second light emitting unit 718b to the reflector 716 and the light guide lens 717, light randomly reflected from the reflector 716 and the light guide lens 717 passes through the right outer lens 719 and the right inner lens 720. For example, it emits radiant light or diffused light that is excellent in aesthetics.

  Here, for example, when a plurality of LEDs 721 are applied as the first and second light emitting units 718a and 718b, the second light emitting unit 718b includes a plurality of light sources over the side surface (surface on the reflector 716 side) of the light emitting substrate 718. The LEDs 721 may be arbitrarily scattered, but in the first light emitting unit 718a, it is necessary to align the plurality of LEDs 721 in one direction so as to irradiate light along the end surface 713t of each light guide plate 713. In this case, it is required that the end surface 713t of each light guide plate 713 and the plurality of LEDs 721 face each other without deviation.

  Therefore, each light guide plate 713 is positioned and fixed also on the right decorative member 15 shown in FIG. 141, and its end surface 713t is opposed to the first light emitting means 718a (that is, a plurality of LEDs 721 aligned in one direction). Although a member is provided, as such a member, a presser member 703 (a presser member constituted by two presser members 703-1 and 703-2) used in the right decorative member 15 shown in FIG. 138 is used. Can be reused as is.

  According to this, the pressing member 703 is brought into contact with the side surface in the vicinity of the end surface 713t of the light guide plate 713, and in this state, the attachment portion 703a of the pressing member 703 is fixed to the right stay 710. The side surface in the vicinity of the end surface 713t is sandwiched between the pressing member 703 and the right stay 710. Thereby, the side surface in the vicinity of the end surface 713t of the light guide plate 713 is positioned, and as a result, the end surface 713t can be made to face accurately and without deviation along the alignment direction of the plurality of LEDs 721.

  As described above, according to the pressing member 703 of the right decorative member 15, when the light emission display mode of the right decorative member 15 is changed, even if the shape of the reflector 701 or the configuration of the light emitting substrate 702 is changed, for example, Even if the model of the member 15 itself is changed (see FIGS. 138 and 141), the presser member 703 that has been used can be reused as it is, so that an increase in cost required for the change can be suppressed. .

  Further, by projecting a part of the pressing member 703 from the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700 so as to cover the light irradiation path, from the first light emitting means 702a (a plurality of LEDs 708 aligned in one direction). Since all of the emitted light can be irradiated to the end surface 700t of the light guide plate 700 without omission, an excellent light emitting display mode with high accuracy and good appearance can be realized.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 140, the holding member 703 b that holds the wiring 709 (for example, a cord and a harness) extending over the light emitting substrates 702-1 and 702-2 is provided on the pressing member 703-2. It is preferable to provide it. According to this, since it is possible to prevent the wiring 709 extending over the light emitting substrates 702-1 and 702-2 from being scattered, the wiring 709 is entangled with or caught by another member. Can be prevented in advance.
In the above-described embodiment, the pressing member 703, the light emitting substrates 702 and 718, and the light guide lens 717 are assumed to be composed of two members, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the pressing member 703, Each of the light emitting substrates 702 and 718 and the light guide lens 717 may be configured as a single unit, or may be configured by combining three or more members. Further, the holding member 703b may be provided on the pressing member 703-1.
