Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine.

  Conventionally, there is a pachinko machine, for example, as a representative example of a game machine. This pachinko machine is provided with a game board having a game area in which game balls are hit. Generally, this game board has a substantially square-shaped veneer board in a front view, a cell sheet with a design representing a model of a pachinko machine to be attached to substantially the entire front side of the veneer board, and this cell It has a plurality of nails planted on the cell sheet side of the plywood board with the sheet attached, and game parts such as various winning openings disposed on the cell sheet side. (See, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Also, in a state where a transparent thin plate of the same size is in contact with the cell sheet surface of the game board mentioned above, a nail is planted on the game board via the transparent thin plate, and from the outer peripheral side of the transparent thin plate There is a demand for a game board in which the entire surface of the transparent thin plate is illuminated by causing light to be incident toward the inside of the transparent thin plate. In addition, the game ball will flow down while colliding with nails between the glass plate on the front side of the game board and the transparent thin plate of the game board, and the behavior of the flow of the game ball is diverse. I'm sorry.

On the inner surface of the outer rail 52, in order to make the game ball fly more smoothly, that is, to reduce the frictional resistance of the game ball, a sliding plate 55 as a long stainless steel metal band is formed. It is attached.

  At the entrance of the ball guide passage between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52, a convex portion 57 is formed to close a part of the ball guide passage. The convex portion 57 is provided in a substantially vertical direction from the inner rail 51 to the lower end portion of the rail unit 50 and does not reach to the game area and returns to the ball guide passage back to the far ball passage 63 (see FIG. 3) It serves as a guide. The lower right and lower left corners of the game board 30 are spaces for attaching stickers (S1 and S2 in FIG. 4) such as a certificate (for example, the serial number is described) and plates. The notches 58 and 59 are formed in the flange 56 in order to secure the bonding space. By attaching a seal (S1, S2 in FIG. 4) such as a certificate in the lower right corner or lower left corner of the game board 30, the game board 30 and the certificate can be made unique.

  Next, the game area will be described. The game area is divided into a substantially circular shape by the inner peripheral portion (inner and outer rails) of the rail unit 50. In the present embodiment, in particular, the game area partitioned on the board of the game board 30 is much more than before. It is configured to be large. In this embodiment, the distance from the top of the outer rail 52 to the lower portion of the game board 30 is 445 mm (58 mm longer than the conventional product), between the extreme left position of the outer rail 52 and the extreme right position of the inner rail 51. Distance is 435 mm (50 mm longer than conventional products). Further, the distance from the extreme left position of the inner rail 51 to the extreme right position of the inner rail 51 is 418 mm.

  The second starting openings 34 located on both sides of the variable display unit 35 have a guiding mechanism such that the gaming balls having passed through the second starting openings 34 can be moved toward the center. As a result, even when the game area is expanded in the left-right direction, the game ball can be guided to the central first start opening 33 and the variable winning device 32, and consequently, the game area is A reduction in interest due to the difficulty of winning the game ball due to the expansion is suppressed. Furthermore, the game area is expanded in the left-right direction, so that the wind turbine 37, the second starting opening 34, a plurality of nails (induction nails for guiding the game ball to the center), and various other items are distributed. It can be set up, and it becomes possible to make the behavior of the game ball in the game area on both the left and right sides of the variable display unit 35 more interesting. In addition, since the game area is expanded in the vertical direction, the wind turbine 37, the second starting opening 34, a plurality of nails, and other prizes can be arranged variously, and the vertical direction in the game area can be further increased. It is possible to make the behavior of the game ball more interesting.

  Returning to the explanation of FIG. 3, in the resin base 20, below the window hole 21 (game board 30), a launch rail 61 for guiding game balls immediately after being fired from the game ball launch device 38 is attached. ing. The firing rail 61 is attached and fixed to the resin base 20 via the metal plate 62 at the rear thereof, and is configured to extend linearly at a predetermined firing angle (launching angle). Therefore, the game balls fired along with the turning operation of the game ball firing handle 18 are first fired obliquely upward along the firing rail 61, and thereafter into the predetermined game area through the ball guiding passage of the rail unit 50 as described above. It is supposed to be guided.

  In the case of the pachinko machine 10, the game area is greatly expanded compared to the conventional case, and under such a configuration, the curvature of the guide rail has to be reduced, and therefore, it is necessary to devise to stabilize the hitting ball. . Therefore, in the present embodiment, the launch position of the game ball is lowered and the inclination angle (launch angle) of the launch rail 61 is made somewhat larger than that of the existing one (ie, the launch rail 61 is raised). The length of the rail 61 is made longer than that of the existing one to ensure a sufficient ball guiding distance. As a result, the gaming balls fired from the gaming ball launch device 38 can be guided to the guide rail in a more stable state. In this case, in particular, the firing rail 61 is formed to extend from the shooting position of the gaming ball launch device 38 to a position beyond the central position (out port 36) of the gaming area.

  In addition, a gap having a predetermined distance is provided between the firing rail 61 and the rail unit 50 (induction rail), and a ball passage 63 is formed below the gap. Therefore, if the game ball fired from the game ball launch device 38 does not reach the return ball preventing member 53 and returns backward in the guide rail as a far ball, the far ball travels through the lower ball passage 63 via the far ball passage 63. It is discharged to 15. Incidentally, in the case of the present embodiment, the length of the firing rail 61 is about 240 mm, and the length of the gap between the tip of the firing rail (length of the extension of the firing rail 61) is about 40 mm.

  Most of the balls flow along the outer rail 52 and fall downward when they reach the lower end of the outer rail 52 when some of the balls fall back in the guide rail, but some of the balls fall in the guide rail. There is also something that ramps up to the inner rail 51 side. At this time, the flipped up ball strikes the convex portion 57 at the entrance of the ball guide passage and is guided to the far ball passage 63. This ensures that all of the farballs are guided into the farball passage 63. Thus, the interference between the foul ball and the game ball to be fired next is suppressed.

  Although detailed disclosure of the drawing is omitted, one game ball is supplied to the game ball launching device 38 from the ball outlet on the front frame set 14 side (the ball outlet communicating with the most downstream part of the upper tray 19). . At this time, in the present embodiment, since the launch position of the gaming ball is lowered, the drop from the exit of the ball on the front frame set 14 side to the launch position is large. Guide members 65 and 66 were installed on the front side, respectively. As a result, the gaming balls supplied from the ball outlet on the front frame set 14 side are always set at a predetermined firing position, and a stable firing operation can be realized. In addition, the game ball launch device 38 is provided with a hit ball, and the game ball is fired along with the rotation of the hit ball centering on the shaft, but weight reduction is desired for the hit ball. Therefore, while aiming to reduce the weight of the ball by reducing the size of the shaft portion by changing the material to light metal such as aluminum, the head portion of the ball (the opposite side of the shaft portion to secure sufficient firing force). A weight is provided at the end). As a result, sufficient and stable launch of the game ball can be realized. By providing the weight portion of the bat to protrude upward, it is possible to easily pick and hook the bat, and it is possible to easily adjust the batting strength and the like of the toe.

  Note that reference numeral 67 in FIG. 3 denotes a discharge port leading to the upper tray 19, and the gaming balls are discharged to the upper tray 19 through the discharge port 67. The discharge port 67 is attached with an open / close shutter 68 which is displaced in a substantially horizontal state and a substantially vertical state with the rotation axis in the substantially horizontal direction as an axis. In the state where the front frame set 14 is opened from the inner frame 12 (the state of FIG. 3), the shutter 68 changes from a substantially horizontal state to a substantially vertical state by the biasing force of a spring or the like. The outlet 67 is closed. Further, in a state where the front frame set 14 is closed, the shutter 68 is pushed open by the ball passage wedge 69 (see FIG. 2) provided on the back surface of the front frame set 14 to be substantially horizontal. The game ball discharged toward the side is discharged to the upper plate 19 through the ball passage rod 69 without leakage. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10 in which the front decoration frame is omitted and the upper tray 19 is directly provided to the front frame set 14, the gaming balls in the payout passage etc. are out of the pachinko machine 10 when the front frame set 14 is opened. It is possible to prevent inconveniences such as spillage.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the resin base 20 is provided with a substantially rectangular small window 71 at the lower right portion of the window hole 21. Therefore, a seal (S1 in FIG. 4) such as a certificate stamp put on the lower right corner of the game board 30 can be visually recognized through the small window 71. In addition, it is also possible to paste a seal or the like from the small window 71.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, at the left end portion of the inner frame 12, support brackets 81, 82 are attached as a support mechanism of the front frame set 14. The upper support fitting 81 is provided with a support hole 83 having a notch on the front side of the drawing, and the lower support fitting 82 is provided with a projection shaft 84 projecting in the vertical direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3, on the upper side of the inner frame 12, a front frame set open detection switch 90 for detecting that the front frame set 14 is opened relative to the inner frame 12 is provided. When the front frame set 14 is opened, it is output from the front frame set open detection switch 90 to the in-hole (in a pachinko parlor) computer.

  The front frame set 14 is provided with light emitting means such as various lamps around its periphery (for example, a corner portion). These light emitting means are controlled to change the light emission mode such as lighting and blinking according to the change of the gaming state at the time of the jackpot or the predetermined reach, etc., and play a role of enhancing the rendering effect during the game. For example, on the periphery of the window portion 101, an annular illumination portion 102 incorporating light emitting means such as an LED (light emitting diode) is provided symmetrically in the left-right direction, and the center of the annular illumination portion 102 is the maximum of the pachinko machine 10. At the upper part, a central illumination part 103, which also incorporates a light emitting means such as an LED, is provided. In the pachinko machine 10, the central electric decoration portion 103 functions as a big hit lamp, and lights or blinks at the big hit to notify that the big hit is in progress. Furthermore, an upper dish electronic decoration portion 104 incorporating light emitting means such as LEDs is also provided around the upper dish 19. In addition, on the left and right sides of the central electric decoration part 103, there are provided a prize ball lamp 105 which is lit during payout ball payout and an error display lamp 106 which is lit upon a predetermined error. Further, a small window 107 made of transparent resin is provided adjacent to the lower end portion of the annular illumination portion 102 so that a part of the surface of the inner frame 12 or the surface of the game board 30 can be viewed. Since a predetermined portion of the small window 107 is flat, a certificate stamp or the like attached to the lower right corner of the game board 30 can be suitably read by the machine from the flat portion of the small window 107.

  In addition, below the window portion 101, a ball rental operation unit 120 is disposed, and the ball rental operation unit 120 is provided with a ball rental button 121, a return button 122, and a frequency display unit 123. When the rental ball operation unit 120 is operated with a bill, a card, etc. being inserted into a card unit (ball lending unit) (not shown) arranged on the side of the pachinko machine 10, the gaming ball is lent according to the operation. To be done. The ball lending button 121 is operated to obtain a lending ball based on the information recorded in the card etc. (recording medium), and the lending ball is supplied to the upper tray 19 as long as the remaining amount exists in the card etc. Be done. The return button 122 is operated to request return of a card or the like inserted in the card unit. The frequency display unit 123 displays balance information of a card or the like. In the case of a pachinko machine in which gaming balls are directly lent out to the upper tray from a ball lending device or the like without passing through a card unit, the so-called cash machine does not require the ball lending operation unit 120. Therefore, a decorative seal or the like is attached to the installation portion of the rental ball operation unit 120. As a result, it is possible to share the ball rental operation unit between the pachinko machine and the cash machine using the card unit.

  Further, on the back surface of the game board 30, a prize detection mechanism or the like for detecting passage of gaming balls such as various winning openings is provided. Specifically, a winning opening switch (not shown) is provided at a position corresponding to the general winning opening 31 on the front side of the game board 30, and the variable winning device 32 is provided with a count switch (not shown). The count switch is a switch for counting winning balls. Further, an operation port switch 224 is provided at a position corresponding to the first start port 33, and a gate switch (not shown) is provided at a position corresponding to the second start port 34. The above-mentioned operation port switch 224 corresponds to the winning detection means in the present invention.

  A winning opening switch (not shown) and a gate switch (not shown) are connected to a board relay board (not shown) through electrical wiring (not shown), and the board relay board (not shown) is described later as a main board (main controller 261) connected. Further, the count switch (not shown) is connected to the special winning opening relay board (not shown), and the special winning hole relay board (not shown) is also connected to the main board. On the other hand, the operation port switch 224 is directly connected to the main board without the relay board.

  Although not shown in the drawings, the variable winning device 32 is provided with a large winning opening solenoid for opening the large winning opening 32a, and the first starting opening 33 has an operation opening for opening the electric part. A solenoid is provided.

  The detection results respectively detected by the above-mentioned winning detection mechanism are taken into a main board to be described later, and a payout command (the number of paid out game balls) according to the winning situation in each occasion is transmitted from the main board to the payout control board Ru. Then, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out by the output of the payout control board. In such a case, the conventional method (so-called evidence ball method) in which gaming balls that have won in various winning openings are collected once in the winning ball processing device and the existence of the winning balls is confirmed one by one by the winning ball processing device. Unlike the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment electrically senses the winning of the gaming ball for each winning opening and pays out immediately (ie, the pachinko machine 10 abolishes the winning ball processing device) doing). Therefore, even if there are a large number of game balls to be paid out, it is possible to promptly pay out the balls. However, the conventional "proof ball method" may be applied to the present invention.

  Next, an electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10.

  The launch control device 312 permits or prohibits the launch of a game ball by a launch motor (not shown), and the launch motor is permitted to drive when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Specifically, for the fact that the release permission signal is output from the payout control device 311, that the player is detecting that the game ball release handle 18 is touched by the sensor signal, and for stopping the release. The firing motor is driven on the condition that the firing stop switch is not operated, and the gaming ball is fired with a strength corresponding to the amount of operation of the gaming ball firing handle 18.

  The display control device 45 controls the variation display of the first symbol in the first symbol display device 42 and the variation display of the second symbol in the second symbol display device 41. The display control device 45 includes a CPU 521, a ROM (program ROM) 522, a work RAM 523, a video RAM 524, a character ROM 525, an image controller 526, an input port 527, two output ports 528 and 529, and a bus And lines 530 and 531. The output of the main controller 261 is connected to the input of the input port 527, and the CPU 521, the ROM 522, the work RAM 523 and the image controller 526 are connected to the output of the input port 527 and one output port via the bus line 530 528 is connected. A second symbol display device 41 (display unit 43) and an audio lamp control device 262 are connected to the output of the output port 528. Further, an output port 529 is connected to the image controller 526 via a bus line 531, and a first symbol display device 42 which is a liquid crystal display device is connected to an output of the output port 529.

  The CPU 521 of the display control device 45 controls the display of the first symbol display device 42 and the second symbol display device 41 based on the display command transmitted from the main control device 261. The ROM 522 is a memory for storing various control programs executed by the CPU 521 and fixed value data, and the work RAM 523 temporarily stores work data and flags used when the CPU 521 executes various programs.

The image controller 526 adjusts the respective timings of the CPU 521, the video RAM 524, and the output port 529 to intervene in reading and writing of data, and reads display data stored in the video RAM 524 from the character ROM 525 at a predetermined timing. It is displayed on the symbol display device 42.

  The power supply unit 313 is connected to a power supply unit 541 for supplying power to each part of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 542 for monitoring power interruption due to a power failure, and a RAM erase switch (not shown). And a RAM erase switch circuit 543. The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operation power to each of the main control device 261, the payout control device 311, and the like through a power supply path (not shown). As a summary, the power supply unit 541 takes in AC 24 volt power supplied from the outside, +12 V power supply for driving various switches and motors, +5 V power supply for logic, backup power supply for RAM backup, etc. It generates and supplies these +12 V power supply, +5 V power supply and backup power supply to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like. An operation power supply (+12 V power supply, +5 V power supply, etc.) is supplied to the emission control device 312 via the payout control device 311.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 542 is a circuit for outputting a power failure signal S1 to each NM1 terminal of the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 and the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 at the time of power failure due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the voltage of AC 5 volts by the power supply unit 541 and determines that a power failure (power failure) occurs when the time when the voltage is less than 5 volts exceeds 20 milliseconds, for example. The blackout signal S1 is output to the main control unit 261 and the payout control unit 311. Based on the output of the power failure signal S1, the main controller 261 and the payout control device 311 recognize the occurrence of the power failure, and execute the power failure processing (NMI interrupt processing).

  It should be noted that the power supply unit 541 has a sufficient time for execution of the power failure process even after the time when the 5 volts of AC monitored by the power supply unit 541 is less than 5 volts exceeds 20 milliseconds. The output of 5 volts which is the drive voltage of the control system is configured to be maintained at a normal value. Therefore, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 can execute and complete the power failure processing normally.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 543 is a circuit for taking in a switch signal of a RAM erase switch (not shown) and clearing backup data of the RAM 503 of the main control unit 261 and the RAM 513 of the payout control unit 311 according to the state of the switch. is there. When the RAM erase switch is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs the RAM erase signal S2 to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on (including the power on due to a power failure cancellation) in a state where the RAM erase switch is pressed, the data of the respective RAMs 503 and 63 are cleared in the main control unit 261 and the payout control unit 311 .

  By the way, in the first symbol display device (liquid crystal display device) 42, as shown in FIG. 6, three upper, middle and lower symbol rows U, M and D are set, and the symbol rows U, M and D are set. For each D, three left symbols, a middle symbol and a right symbol (the first symbol, for example, a special symbol) are horizontally displayed in a variable manner. In the present embodiment, a series of symbols are composed of a main symbol SZ consisting of a pattern such as a marine creature and a sub-pattern FZ consisting of a shell-shaped pictorial symbol, each of which is given a number from "0" to "9". The main symbols SZ are displayed in ascending order of numbers, and the sub symbols FZ are arranged between the main symbols SZ to constitute a series of symbol rows U, M, D. Then, the main symbol SZ and the sub symbol FZ are displayed so as to change from right to left with periodicity.

  In such a case, in the upper symbol row U and the middle symbol row M, the above series of symbols are displayed in ascending order (that is, in order of increasing the number of main symbols SZ), and in the lower figure row D, the above series of symbols are in descending order (namely, , Is displayed in the order of decreasing the number of the main symbol SZ). Then, variable display of a series of symbol rows U, M, D is started based on the winning on the first start opening 33, and then, the upper symbol row U → lower row pattern row D → middle symbol row M in a variable display Stops, and at the time of the stop, the main symbol SZ is one of five effective lines on the first symbol display raid 42, that is, left line L1, middle line L2, right line L3, right upward line L4, left upward line L5. If it is arranged with the combination of jackpot symbols (in the present embodiment, the combination of the same main symbol SZ), a specific game animation (special game animation) is displayed as a jackpot.

  Here, a function such as a big hit lottery performed by the main control device 261 will be described. The main control device 261 is provided with a lottery unit (not shown) for lottery the occurrence of the big hit state. That is, when the main controller 261 wins in the lottery section (not shown), the display effect in which the variation display result of the first symbol in the first symbol display device 42 becomes the combination (big hit symbol) of the specific symbol set in advance. And has a function to generate a big hit state after a big hit display. In short, the main control device 261 is, for example, a value (first random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 (first random number group for determining whether or not to be a special gaming state) which can take values from "0 to 676". The special game state is generated on the basis of.

  Specifically, the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 has a first random number generation unit (first random number group generation function) (not shown) for generating the big hit random number counter C1. In addition, the main control unit 261 is an area for storing the value of the big hit random number counter C1 among the holding ball storage areas of the RAM 503 (the first random number storage (not shown) every time the gaming ball wins the first starting opening 33). Section). Furthermore, the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 determines whether or not the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the holding ball storage area (first random number storage unit not shown) is a hit value or not. A determination unit (determination function) is also included.

  Here, the manufacturing process of the main part of the game board 30 of Example 1 is demonstrated using FIG. 7, FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 14 (a), by fitting the fitting pins 404 of the transparent resin plate 400 into the fitting holes 412 of the cell sheet 410, the cell sheet 410 and the transparent resin plate 400 are properly overlapped. Then, the cell sheet 410 is attached to the transparent resin plate 400 by the adhesive layer of the cell sheet 410.

  Subsequently, the fitting pins 404 of the transparent resin plate 400 to which the cell sheet 410 is attached are inserted into the fitting holes 422 of the veneer plate 420, and the transparent resin plate 400 to which the cell sheet 410 is attached is overlapped on the veneer plate 420. Match. The transparent resin plate 400 to which the cell sheet 410 is attached and the veneer plate 420 are fastened and fixed with screws. Moreover, you may make it fix both sides other than screw fastening. For example, the transparent resin plate 400 to which the cell sheet 410 is attached and the veneer plate 420 may be fastened by screwing, or the transparent resin plate 400 and the veneer plate 420 may be adhered and fixed with an adhesive.

  Thus, the transparent resin plate 400 is placed at a predetermined position so that the back side of the veneer plate 420, which is fixed by overlapping and being fixed, abuts on a mounting table (table) of a nailing machine (not shown). Specifically, for example, two bosses (protrusion pins) for positioning the veneer plate 420, which are arranged at intervals on the mounting table surface of the nailing machine, at two positions of the veneer plate 420 corresponding to the bosses. A veneer board 420 on which the transparent resin board 400 is fixed in a stacked manner is placed on the mounting table of the nailing machine so as to be fitted into the mating hole.

  The nailing machine has as a data in advance which part of the plywood 420 the nail 430 is to be nailed, so that the nail 430 can be sequentially nailed to a predetermined part of the veneer 420. That is, the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 is correspondingly provided at the location where the nail 430 is to be punched in the veneer plate 420, and as shown in FIG. 14B, the inside of the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400. The nail 430 by the nailing machine enters the direction of s, and as shown in FIG. 14 (c), it strikes against the opening 420 of the transparent resin plate 400 without contact to the veneer 420. That is, as shown in FIG. 14C, the nail 430 is fixed to (supported by) the veneer 420 only because it is stamped on the veneer 420 without contacting the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400. In the first embodiment, although the torso of the nail 430 is in non-contact with the opening 402, even if the torso of the nail 430 is in contact with the opening 402, the nail 430 is removed at the time of separate disposal. There is no problem of becoming difficult.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the mounting member 460 to which the LED substrate 462 is attached is attached to a predetermined recessed portion of the collective plate 470, and as shown in FIG. Is attached to the back side of the veneer board 420.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the game board 30 having the game area into which the game ball is driven has the front side of the nail for giving a change to the behavior of the game ball flowing down the game area. And a transparent transparent resin plate 400 superimposed on the front side of the plywood plate 420 so as to at least cover the play area of the veneer 420, the transparent resin plate 400 comprising: A through hole 409 is provided at a predetermined location, and the light incident portion 450 for allowing light to be incident on the inner wall of the through hole 409 of the transparent resin plate 400, light is incident from the outer peripheral side of the transparent resin plate 400 (for example, transparent thin plate) Not only that, but also light can be made incident from the inner wall of the through hole 409 of the transparent resin plate 400, so that light can be made incident to a dark place in the transparent resin plate 400. It can, it is possible to reduce the brightness unevenness of a transparent resin plate 400, can be uniformly surface-emitting the transparent resin plate 400. That is, in a pachinko machine in which various game components such as the center frame 47, the variable winning device 32, the first starting opening 33, the second starting opening 34, etc. are provided on the game board 30, these game components are transparent resin plate 400 Even if light is made to penetrate in a predetermined portion of the transparent resin plate 400 and directed to the inside of the transparent resin plate 400 from the outer peripheral side surface of the transparent resin plate 400, the above-mentioned game components provided on the game board 30 There are places where the entry is blocked, but through holes 409 are provided at places where light can be supplied to such dark places, and light is made to enter from the inner wall of the through holes 409 to make the transparent resin plate 400 Light can be made incident on dark places, unevenness in brightness and darkness in the transparent resin plate 400 can be reduced, and the transparent resin plate 400 can be made to emit light uniformly.

  Further, since it is not necessary to increase the intensity (light amount) of light incident from the outer peripheral side surface of the transparent resin plate 400 toward the inside of the transparent resin plate 400, the intensity of the incident light is not excessively increased. The excessive increase does not cause another problem that the transparent resin plate 400 becomes too dazzled.

  As a result, it is possible to provide a pachinko machine 10 capable of uniformly emitting surface light of the transparent resin plate 400 (transparent thin plate) of the game board 30.

  In addition, since the light guide member 480 includes the light output restricting portion 452 that restricts the light output so as to output light from the opposing surface location facing the inner wall of the through hole 409 of the transparent resin plate 400, the transparent resin plate Light can be effectively output toward the inner wall of the through hole 409 of 400.

  In addition, since the light output restricting portion 452 is provided with the shielding portion 453 for shielding light provided at the end face location flush with the transparent resin plate 400 in the light guide member 480, the penetration of the transparent resin plate 400 Light can be effectively output toward the inner wall of the hole 409.

  In addition, the light output restricting portion 452 transmits the light traveling in the light guide member 480 toward the end face portion flush with the transparent resin plate 400 in the light guide member 480 through the through holes 409 of the transparent resin plate 400. The light is output toward the inner wall of the through hole 409 of the transparent resin plate 400, since the inclined surface 454 is changed so as to output the light toward the opposite surface of the light guide member 480 facing the inner wall of Can.

  Further, since the light output portion 450 is provided with the LED 464 for emitting light and the recess 481 which is a recess for positioning the LED 464 and formed on the incident surface 480 a of the light guide member 480, the light is emitted by the LED 464 The light thus emitted can be efficiently made incident on the concave portion 481 formed in the incident surface 480 a of the light guide member 480.

  In addition, the game board 30 having a game area into which the game balls are driven has a veneer 420 capable of striking and fixing on the front side a nail 430 for changing the behavior of the game ball flowing down the game area A transparent resin plate 400 transparent to the veneer plate 420 so as to at least cover the game area of the veneer plate 420, and a gaming machine provided between the transparent resin plate 400 and the veneer plate 420. Since the cell sheet 410 having the display for representing or the display for decorating the game area is provided, the display of the cell sheet 410 can be displayed in the light of the transparent resin plate 400. Moreover, since the transparent resin plate 400 having light transparency is provided on the front side of the cell sheet 410, the gaming balls flow down the front side of the transparent resin plate 400, and the back side of the transparent resin plate 400 on the opposite side. The cell sheet 410 is positioned on the rear side of the transparent resin plate 400, so that the game ball does not contact the cell sheet 410 provided on the back side of the transparent resin plate 400, etc. can do. As a result, the cell sheet 410 of the game area of the game board 30 can be illuminated, and a pachinko machine capable of protecting the decoration display of the game area can be provided.

  Moreover, since the transparent resin plate 400 having light transparency is provided on the front side of the cell sheet 410, the gaming balls flow down the front side of the transparent resin plate 400, and the back side of the transparent resin plate 400 on the opposite side. The cell sheet 410 is positioned on the rear side of the transparent resin plate 400, so that the game ball does not contact the cell sheet 410 provided on the back side of the transparent resin plate 400, etc. can do.

  As a result, the display mode of the game area of the game board can be changed, and a game machine capable of protecting the decoration display of the game area can be provided.

  In addition, the game board 30 having a game area into which the game balls are driven has a veneer 420 capable of striking and fixing on the front side a nail 430 for changing the behavior of the game ball flowing down the game area The transparent resin plate 400 is superimposed on the veneer plate 420 so as to cover the game area of the veneer plate 420 on the side, and the density of the veneer plate 420 is that of the transparent resin plate 400. An opening 402 having an opening diameter larger than the diameter of the nail 430 is provided at a predetermined location in the front view state of the transparent resin plate 400, which is lower than the density, and the nail 430 is transparent on the front side of the plywood 420 The nail 430 is formed of the transparent resin plate 4 because the resin plate 400 is stamped to the veneer plate 420 through the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 in a state where the resin plate 400 is overlapped. The nail 430 is bent to the transparent resin plate 400 without being nailed to the transparent resin plate 400 since it is hammered to the plywood plate 420 through the zero opening 402 (an opening having an opening diameter larger than the diameter of the nail 430). In this condition, the nail 430 can not be hit. Therefore, there is no problem in that it is difficult to pull out the nail 430 which is punched in a bent state on the transparent resin plate 400 when removing the nail 430 of the game board and sorting and discarding the game board 30 during disposal / disassembly work. The work efficiency can be improved, and the efficiency of the disposal / disassembly work of the game board 30 can be improved.

  Also, the nails 430 are hammered not to the transparent resin plate 400 but to the veneer 420. In other words, the nails 430 are hammered to the veneer 430 capable of driving and fixing the nail 430 and having a lower density than the transparent resin plate 400. Therefore, compared to the case of the game board in which the nail 430 is hit to the transparent resin plate 400 as in the conventional example, the game ball hit in the game area bounces on the nail 430 hit on the veneer 420 The bounce can be reduced, the bounce of the game ball that has collided with the nail 430 can be appropriately settled, and the fun of the rolling mode of the game ball can be secured.

  Further, in the case of a game board in which the nail 430 is fixed by being fixed only to the transparent resin plate 400 as in the conventional example, variation in how the game ball bounces from the nail 430 of the transparent resin plate 400 is small. There is a problem that the rolling mode is small and the fun mode is lacking in the rolling mode of the game ball. On the other hand, in the gaming board 30 of the first embodiment, as described above, since the nail 430 is hammered not to the transparent resin plate 400 but to the veneer 420, the bouncing ball from the nail 430 of the veneer 420 is appropriate Can be produced, that is, the variation can be increased as compared with the case of the nail 430 of the transparent resin plate 400, and a surprising rolling mode can be realized, and the rolling mode of the gaming ball Can improve the fun.

  As a result, in a pachinko machine (game machine) having a light-transmissive transparent resin plate 400 (for example, a transparent plate) on the front side of the game board, nail removal work efficiency can be improved, and the fun of the game ball rolling aspect It is possible to provide a pachinko machine (game machine) that can improve the

  In addition, a display portion for displaying the model name of the pachinko machine 10 as a display for representing a game machine between the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood 420, and a feature (or individuality of the model for decorating the game area Since the display portion to be displayed in a decorative manner has the cell sheet 410 drawn (printed), the gaming ball flows down the front side of the transparent resin plate 400 and the transparent resin plate 400 on the opposite side thereof. The cell sheet 410 is positioned on the back surface side of the transparent resin plate, and the game ball does not contact the cell sheet 410 provided on the back surface side of the transparent resin plate 400, so that the cell sheet 410 can be protected. .

  Further, since the LED 464 is capable of emitting light of a plurality of colors, light of a plurality of colors can be incident from the inner wall of the through hole 409 of the transparent resin plate 400, and the transparent resin plate 400 emitting light of a plurality of colors It is possible to further improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, since the transparent resin plate 400 is a transparent thin plate-like member made of a transparent resin, it is possible to preferably manufacture a transparent thin plate-like member by using the transparent resin.

  Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 16 (a) to 16 (c) are diagrams showing the manufacturing process of the game board 30 of the second embodiment.

  In the gaming board 30 in the above-described first embodiment, a gap is still formed between the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 and the nail 430, but in the gaming board 30 in the second embodiment, This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the clearance between the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 and the nail 430 is filled with a rubber clearance covering member 432. The description of the same contents as those of the first embodiment described above will be omitted, and the clearance covering member 432 and the like will be described in detail below.

  As shown in FIG. 16C, the gap between the nail 430 and the opening 402 is filled between the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 and the nail 430 located in the opening 402. A rubber clearance covering member 432 is provided.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), the rubber-made clearance covering member 432 is fixed (for example, adhesively fixed) around the torso at a predetermined position of the torso of the nail 430. As shown in c), the clearance covering member 432 is fitted in the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 in a state where the nail 430 with the rubber clearance covering member 432 is pressed onto the veneer 420.

  That is, since the striking force of the nail 430 by the nailing machine is constant, and the density distribution of the veneer plate 420 is uniform, the striking depth of the nail 430 by the nailing machine has a certain accuracy. It can be said that, as shown in FIG. 16 (c), the clearance covering member 432 is inserted into the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 in a state where the nail 430 with the rubber clearance covering member 432 is stamped onto the veneer 420. A clearance covering member 432 is fixed around the torso of the nail 430 at a predetermined point of the torso.

  In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16C, the clearance covering member 432 is accommodated in the opening 402 so as not to protrude from the opening 402 in a side view of the transparent resin plate 400. However, as long as the behavior of the gaming ball is not adversely affected, the clearance covering member 432 may be allowed to slightly protrude from the opening 402 in a side view of the transparent resin plate 400.

  Also, in a side view of the clearance covering member 432 attached to the nail 430, the clearance covering member 432 is tapered or chamfered such that the diameter at the nail tip side is smaller than the diameter at the nail head side. The member 432 may easily enter the opening 402.

  The above-mentioned clearance covering member 432 corresponds to the elastic member in the present invention.

  Here, the manufacturing process of the main part of the game board 30 of Example 2 is demonstrated using FIG.

  In addition, until it laminates | stacks and fixes the transparent resin board 400 which stuck the cell sheet 410 on the plywood board 420 (refer Fig.16 (a)), since it is the same as that of Example 1 of the above-mentioned, description here is abbreviate | omitted. FIG. 16 (b) and the subsequent figures will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (b), the veneer board 420, on which the transparent resin plates 400 are stacked and fixed, is placed at a predetermined position on the mounting table (table) of the nailing machine as in the first embodiment described above.

  The nailing machine according to the second embodiment has a structure capable of striking the nail 430 with the rubber clearance covering member 432 against the veneer 420, and as in the first embodiment described above, It is previously stored in the data as to whether the nail 430 is to be nailed to a part, and the nail 430 can be sequentially nailed to a predetermined part of the veneer 420. That is, the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 is correspondingly provided at the location where the nail 430 is to be struck on the veneer plate 420, and as shown in FIG. 16B, the inside of the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400. The nail 430 by the nailing machine enters toward the side, and, as shown in FIG. 16C, the nail 430 is hammered onto the veneer 420 non-contactingly at the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400. That is, as shown in FIG. 16C, the nail 430 is stamped against the opening 420 of the transparent resin plate 400 in a non-contacting manner to the veneer 420, and the rubber clearance covering member 432 fixed around the body of the nail 430. Is in contact with the opening 402, the nail 430 is fixed (supported) only by the veneer 420.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment, the clearance covering member 432 for filling the space between the nail 430 and the opening 402 is provided between the nail 430 and the opening 402. Therefore, dust, debris and the like can be prevented from entering the gap between the nail 430 and the opening 402. Moreover, since the fixing force of the nail 430 by the clearance covering member 432 is almost smaller than that when the nail 430 is stamped on the transparent resin plate 400, the fixing force of the nail 430 is still due to the veneer 420, As in the first embodiment described above, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the nail removal work efficiency and improving the fun of the rolling mode of the gaming ball.

  Further, since the clearance covering member 432 is provided around the torso of the nail 430 at a predetermined position thereof, the nail 430 with the clearance covering member 432 only needs to strike the veneer 420 through the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400. , The nail 430 can be hammered onto the veneer plate 420, and the clearance covering member 432 provided around the body of the nail 430 can be positioned at the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400. The gap between the nail 430 and the opening 402 can be filled, and dust and debris can be prevented from entering the gap between the nail 430 and the opening 402. Moreover, since the fixing force of the nail 430 by the clearance covering member 432 is almost smaller than that when the nail 430 is stamped on the transparent resin plate 400, the fixing force of the nail 430 is still due to the veneer 420, As in the first embodiment described above, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the nail removal work efficiency and improving the fun of the rolling mode of the gaming ball.

  Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 19. FIG. 17 is an exploded perspective view showing the configuration of the main part of the game board 30 according to the third embodiment. 18 (a) to 18 (c) are diagrams showing a manufacturing process of the game board 30 of the third embodiment. FIG. 19 is a cross-sectional view showing the nailing state of the game board 30 of the third embodiment.

  In the game board 30 according to the first embodiment, the transparent resin plate 400 is provided with the opening 402 (an opening larger than the circumference of the body of the nail 430), and the nail 430 is inserted into the transparent resin plate 400 via the opening 402. In the game board 30 of the third embodiment, the weight of the nail 430 is placed on the veneer 420 rather than the transparent resin plate 400 so that the nail 430 can be hit. Is different from the first embodiment described above. The description of the same contents as those of the above-described first embodiment will be omitted, and in the following, a point will be described in detail in which the weight is placed on the veneer plate 420 to strike the nail 430 rather than the transparent resin plate 400.

  As shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, a passage hole 406 (through hole) is formed at the location where the nail 430 of the transparent resin plate 400 of the third embodiment is hit, and as shown in FIG. The passage hole 406 has a diameter r2 smaller than the diameter r1 of the torso of the nail 430.

  In FIG. 17, since it becomes difficult to see if all the through holes 406 of the transparent resin plate 400 have the reference numerals, the reference holes are attached to only some of the through holes 406 of the transparent resin plate 400.

  As in the case of the first embodiment described above, the veneer board 420 is provided with a predetermined number of through holes 424 in a front view, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, in the state where the transparent resin plate 400 is superimposed on the front side of the veneer plate 420, the way hole 406 of the transparent resin plate 400 and the through hole 424 of the veneer plate 420 are respectively provided in different places. . That is, when the transparent resin plate 400 is superimposed on the front surface side of the veneer plate 420, the passage holes 406 of the transparent resin plate 400 and the through holes 424 of the veneer plate 420 are provided in different places so as not to overlap. ing. In FIG. 17, the through holes 409 of the transparent resin plate 400 that match the through holes 424 of the veneer 420 are illustrated, and since the passage holes 406 are formed at locations other than the through holes 409, the transparent resin It can be seen that the way holes 406 of the plate 400 and the through holes 424 of the veneer plate 420 are provided at different places so as not to overlap.

  As shown in FIG. 18C, the nail 430 penetrates the transparent resin plate 400 from the transparent resin plate 400 to the veneer plate 420 in a state where the transparent resin plate 400 is superimposed on the front side of the veneer plate 420. The nail 430 that has been stamped and in the stamped state is in contact with the transparent resin board 400 and the veneer board 420.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the thickness of the transparent resin plate 400 is, for example, 5 mm (mm), the thickness of the cell sheet 410 is, for example, 1 mm, and the thickness of the veneer board 420 is, for example, 15 mm. The total length of the nail 430 is 32 mm, and the penetration length of the nail 430 against the veneer 420 (the distance from the tip of the nail to the front of the veneer 420 with the body of the nail 430) is 11 mm, for example. For example, the distance from the nail head to the front surface of the transparent resin plate 400 with the torso of the nail 430 is 15 mm, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the transparent resin plate 400 has a thickness smaller than the penetration length of the nail 430 into the veneer 420. That is, the thickness of the transparent resin plate 400 is, for example, 5 mm, and the penetration length of the nail 430 against the veneer plate 420 (the distance from the nail tip to the front surface of the veneer plate 420 where the body of the nail 430 is located) is, for example, 11 mm. It can be seen that the thickness (5 mm) is made smaller than the penetration length (11 mm) of the nail 430 against the veneer 420.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19, it can be said that the contact surface area of the nail 430 against the transparent resin plate 400 in the nailed state of the nail 430 is smaller than the contact surface area of the same nail 430 against the veneer plate 420.

  Here, the manufacturing process of the main part of the game board 30 of Example 3 is demonstrated using FIG.

  In addition, until it laminates | stacks and fixes the transparent resin board 400 which affixed the cell sheet 410 on the plywood board 420 (refer FIG. 18 (a)), since it is the same as that of Example 1 of the above-mentioned, description here is abbreviate | omitted. FIG. 18B and the subsequent figures will be described. As shown in FIG. 18A, the transparent resin plate 400 is formed with the above-mentioned passage holes 406.

  As shown in FIG. 18 (b), the veneer board 420, on which the transparent resin boards 400 are stacked and fixed, is placed at a predetermined position on the mounting table (table) of the nailing machine as in the first embodiment described above.

  In the nailing machine according to the third embodiment, as in the above-described first embodiment, data as to where in the plywood 420 the nail 430 is to be hammered is stored in advance as data. It is possible to strike at it. That is, the passage holes 406 of the transparent resin plate 400 are correspondingly provided at the locations where the nails 430 in the veneer plate 420 are hit, and as shown in FIG. 18B, the passage holes 406 of the transparent resin plate 400. The nail 430 by the nailing machine enters and, as shown in FIG. 18C, the nail 430 which has entered the passage hole 406 of the transparent resin plate 400 is struck on the veneer 420 at a penetration depth of 11 mm (millimeters). That is, as shown in FIG. 18C, the nail 430 is in contact with the passage hole 406 of the transparent resin plate 400 for 5 mm (millimeter) depth, and is nailed to the veneer 420 at a penetration depth of 11 mm (millimeter). Therefore, the ratio of fixing (supporting) the nail 430 to the veneer plate 420 is higher than that of the transparent resin plate 400.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment, the gaming board 30 having the gaming area into which the gaming ball is struck has the nail 430 for changing the behavior of the gaming ball flowing down the gaming area on the front A veneer 420 which can be fixed to the side by striking, and a transparent resin plate 400 which is superimposed on the veneer 420 so as to cover the playing area of the veneer 420 on the front side of the veneer 420. The density of the plywood plate 420 is lower than the density of the transparent resin plate 400, and the nail 430 has the transparent resin plate 400 in a state where the transparent resin plate 400 is superimposed on the front side of the veneer plate 420. And the transparent resin plate 400 is pierced through the transparent resin plate 400, and the nail 430 in the hit state is the transparent resin plate 400 and the veneer plate. 20, and since the transparent resin plate 400 makes its thickness smaller than the penetration length of the nail 430 to the veneer plate 420, the contact surface area of the nail 430 to the transparent resin plate 400 is the same as that of the same nail 430. The surface area of contact with the plywood 420 can be made smaller, and the ratio for supporting the nail 430 can be made larger in the veneer 420 than in the transparent resin plate 400, and the passage hole 406 (the diameter of the nail 430 in the transparent resin plate 400). Even if the nail 430 is knocked off from the center of a small diameter road hole), its bending and bending can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the problem that it is difficult to pull out the nail 430 punched in a bent state on the transparent resin plate 400 when removing the nail 430 of the game board and sorting and discarding it when discarding / disassembling the game board The nailing work efficiency can be improved, and the efficiency of the game board disposal / disassembly work can be improved.

  In addition, the nail 430 is weighted toward the plywood 420 more than the transparent resin plate 400. In other words, the nail 430 can be impacted and fixed, and has a lower density than the transparent resin plate 400. Since the nails 430 are hammered in place, the game ball which has been hammered into the game area is a veneer board 420 in comparison with the game board in which the nails 430 are hammered to the transparent resin board 400 as in the conventional example. It is possible to reduce the bounce of the game ball hit by the nail 430 which is hit by the ball, and to stabilize the bounce of the game ball which collided with the nail 430, and to secure the fun of the rolling mode of the game ball it can.

  Further, in the case of a game board in which the nail 430 is fixed by being fixed only to the transparent resin plate 400 as in the conventional example, variation in how the game ball bounces from the nail 430 of the transparent resin plate 400 is small. There is a problem that the rolling mode is small and the fun mode is lacking in the rolling mode of the game ball. On the other hand, in the gaming board 30 of the third embodiment, as described above, the nail 430 is hammered with the weight placed on the veneer board 420 rather than the transparent resin board 400, so it is supported only by the transparent resin board 400. As compared with the case of the nail 430, variation in how to bounce the gaming ball can be increased, and a surprising rolling aspect can be realized, and the fun of the gaming ball can be improved.

  As a result, in the gaming machine having the light-transmissive transparent resin plate 400 (for example, a transparent plate) on the front side of the gaming board 30, the nail removal work efficiency can be improved and the fun of the rolling mode of the gaming ball is improved. Can provide a game machine that can

  Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a plan view of the center frame 47 of the fourth embodiment. FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view showing the light incident part 450 of the center frame 47 of the fourth embodiment.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the fourth embodiment, the light guiding member 480 is not provided in the through holes 409 of the transparent resin plate 400 and the through holes 424 of the veneer plate 420 as in the first to third embodiments. This embodiment differs from the first to third embodiments in that the light incident portion 450 is provided on the side surface. The description of the same contents as those of the above-described first to third embodiments will be omitted, and in the following, the point of providing the light incident part 450 on the outer peripheral side surface of the center frame 47 will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the center frame 47 is provided with a light incident portion 450 on the outer peripheral side surface thereof. Specifically, the center frame 47 is provided with a light incident portion 450 on each of the outer peripheral side, the upper outer peripheral side, the lower outer peripheral side, the right outer peripheral side, and the left outer peripheral side. The light incident portion 450 may be provided on at least one of the upper outer peripheral side surface, the lower outer peripheral side surface, the right outer peripheral side surface, and the left outer peripheral side surface of the center frame 47.

  The transparent resin board 400 of Example 4 is equipped with the 1st attachment hole 403 for attaching the center frame 47 arrange | positioned by the game area of the game board 30, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the plywood plate 420 is provided with a second mounting hole 426 for mounting the center frame 47 at a position corresponding to the first mounting hole 403 of the transparent resin plate 400. As shown in FIG. 20, the center frame 47 is provided with a light incident portion 450 at a predetermined position on the outer peripheral side surface.

  The light incident portion 450 includes a light guiding member 480 having an LED 464 for emitting light, an incident surface 480 a on which the light from the LED 464 is incident, and an emission surface 480 b on which the incident light is emitted. And a housing portion 455 for housing the light guide member 480 so that the light emitting surface 480b of the member 480 is disposed to face the first mounting hole 403 of the transparent resin plate 400.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21, in the housing portion 455, the inner surface of the housing space for housing the light guide member 480 is a light reflecting portion 456.

  Further, the light guide member 480 uses the back side as the incident surface 480b in a state where the center frame 47 is viewed from the front, and the direction facing the outer peripheral side when the center frame 47 is viewed from the front as an output surface 480b. . The LED 464 is disposed to face the incident surface 480 a of the light guide member 480. The light guide member 480 has a bent shape.

  The above-mentioned center frame 47 corresponds to a game component and a decoration member in the present invention, the above-mentioned housing portion 455 corresponds to a housing means in the present invention, and the above-mentioned LED 464 corresponds to a light emitting means in the present invention.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the fourth embodiment, the transparent resin plate 400 is provided with the first attachment hole 403 for attaching the center frame 47 disposed in the game area of the game board 30, and the plywood 420 has a second mounting hole 426 for mounting the center frame 47 at a position corresponding to the first mounting hole 403 of the light guide member 480, and the center frame 47 has a light incident portion at a predetermined position on the outer peripheral side surface thereof. Since the light guide plate 450 is provided, light is not only made incident from the outer peripheral side surface of the transparent resin plate 400 (for example, a transparent thin plate), but light is also made incident from the inner wall of the first attachment hole 403 of the center frame 47 in the transparent resin plate 400. Therefore, light can be made incident on a dark place in the transparent resin plate 400, and unevenness in brightness and darkness in the transparent resin plate 400 can be reduced. It can be uniformly surface-emitting. That is, in a pachinko machine in which game components such as the center frame 47 are provided on the game board 30, the center frame is provided to penetrate a predetermined portion of the transparent resin plate 400 and the transparent resin plate Even if light is made incident to the inside of 400, a center frame 47 provided on the game board 30 may cause a part where light entry is blocked, but such a dark part may occur on the outer periphery of the center frame 47 A light incident portion 450 is provided at a side portion, and light is made incident from the light incident portion 450 to the inner wall of the first attachment hole 403 of the transparent resin plate 400, whereby light is made incident at a dark portion in the transparent resin plate 400. be able to. That is, light can be emitted toward the inner wall of the first attachment hole 403 of the transparent resin plate 400 also from the outer peripheral side surface of the center frame 47. Therefore, the brightness unevenness in the transparent resin plate 400 can be reduced, and the surface light emission of the transparent resin plate 400 can be made uniform.

  Further, since it is not necessary to increase the intensity (light amount) of light incident from the outer peripheral side surface of the transparent resin plate 400 toward the inside of the transparent resin plate 400, the intensity of the incident light is not excessively increased. The excessive increase does not cause another problem that the transparent resin plate 400 becomes too dazzled.

  As a result, it is possible to provide a pachinko machine capable of uniformly emitting surface light from the transparent resin plate 400 (transparent thin plate) of the game board 30.

  In addition, the light incident unit 450 includes a light guide member 480 including an LED 464 that emits light, an incident surface 480 a on which the light from the LED 464 is incident, and an exit surface 480 b on which the incident light is emitted.

In comparison, the number of LEDs 464 can be reduced.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified as follows.

  (1) In the first embodiment described above, a large number of light guide members 480 inserted into the through holes 409 of the transparent resin plate 400 and the through holes 424 of the veneer plate 420 are provided. However, one or two or more light guide members are provided. You may Further, although the through holes 409 of the transparent resin plate 400 and the through holes 424 of the veneer plate 420 are provided at predetermined places in the game area, they may be provided at places other than the game area in the transparent resin plate 400 or the veneer board 420.

  (2) In each of the embodiments described above, the veneer board 420 is employed as the plate-like member, but a plate-like member having the same density as the veneer board 420 may be employed.

  (3) In each of the embodiments described above, the transparent resin plate 400 is adopted, but a thin plate of which at least a part is semitransparent may be adopted, and a range where the visibility of the cell sheet 410 is acceptable. It is also possible to adopt a thin sheet colored with an inner permeable one.

  (4) In each of the embodiments described above, the transparent resin plate 400 covers the entire game area, but it may cover at least a part of the game area.

  (5) Although the cell sheet 410 is employed in each of the embodiments described above, the display or game area for representing a game machine is directly decorated on the back side of the transparent resin plate 400 or the front side of the veneer 420. A display for drawing (printing) may be adopted. In particular, when a display for representing a gaming machine or a display (decorative display portion) for decorating a game area is drawn (printed) directly on the back side of the transparent resin board 400, Since the drawing (printing) display is in close contact, the following points are excellent. That is, simply by aligning the decorative display portion on the back surface side of the transparent resin plate 400, at least a part of the decorative display portion is separated from the back surface side of the transparent resin plate 400. A part may be provided, and in this case, when the game board 30 is viewed from the front, the display of the separated portion is blurred (the light incident rate to the thin plate member in the separated portion and the closely contacting portion of the decoration display portion) There is a problem in that there is a difference), but according to this modification, such a problem can be solved. That is, since the transparent resin plate 400 and the drawing (printing) display (decorative display unit) are in close contact with each other and there is no part where the drawing (printing) display is separated on the back side of the transparent resin plate 400. There is no blurring of the display of the separated part.

  (6) In the second embodiment described above, although the rubber-made clearance covering member 432 is adopted as the elastic member, various elastic members such as a sponge may be adopted.

  (7) In each of the above-described embodiments, although a single transparent resin plate 400 is employed, the transparent resin plate 400 may be configured of a plurality of divided parts as described below with reference to FIG. The case is also applicable.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 27, the transparent resin plate 400 is divided into a plurality of (two in FIG. 27 divided into upper and lower) portions when the transparent resin plate 400 is viewed from the front side. (Each divided thin plate member) is a predetermined portion of the side surface of the divided transparent resin plate 400A, 400B and faces the game components (for example, the center frame 47 etc.) disposed on the game board 30. The structure provided with the light-incidence part 450 which makes light enter toward the inside of the said division | segmentation transparent resin board 400A, 400B is mentioned to the place to do.

  In the case of this configuration, light is not only made incident on the outer side surface of the plurality of divided transparent resin plates 400A and 400B corresponding to the outer peripheral side surface of the transparent resin plate 400, but also the side surfaces of the divided transparent resin plates 400A and 400B. Since light can be made to enter also from the place which is opposite to the center frame 47 disposed on the game board 30, it is possible to make light enter the dark place in the transparent resin plate 400, which is transparent. It is possible to reduce unevenness in brightness in the resin plate 400, and to allow the transparent resin plate 400 to emit light uniformly. That is, in the gaming machine in which various game parts such as the center frame 47 and the winning opening are provided on the game board 30, these game parts are provided so as to be surrounded by the divided transparent resin boards 400A and 400B. Even when light is made incident from the outer peripheral side surface to the inside of the transparent resin plate 400, there are places where the entrance of the light is hindered by the center frame 47 provided on the game board 30, but such dark places Light is made to be incident on the dark resin in the transparent resin plate 400 by causing light to be incident from a portion which can supply light to the light, that is, a predetermined portion on the side of the divided transparent resin plates 400A and 400B and facing the center frame 47. Can be incident on the transparent resin plate 400, and the transparent resin plate 400 can uniformly emit light in a plane.

  Further, since it is not necessary to increase the intensity (light amount) of light incident from the outer peripheral side surface of the transparent resin plate 400 toward the inside of the transparent resin plate 400, the intensity of the incident light is not excessively increased. The excessive increase does not cause another problem that the transparent resin plate 400 becomes too dazzled.

  Therefore, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of uniformly emitting surface light of the transparent resin plate 400 of the gaming board 30.

  (8) In each of the above-described embodiments, although a single transparent resin plate 400 is employed, a partially transparent resin plate 400C (partial thin plate is formed on a part of the game board 30 as described below with reference to FIG. It is applicable also when providing a member).

  That is, as shown in FIG. 28, in the gaming board 30, a nail for giving a change to the behavior of the gaming ball flowing down the gaming area can be hit and fixed on the front side, and the game is performed on the front side of the plywood 420 A part of the area is provided with a light transmitting partially transparent resin plate 400C provided flush with the board of the game board 30, and a light incident portion 450 for allowing light to be incident on the side surface of this partially transparent resin plate 400C Are included.

  In the case of this configuration, light can be incident from the side surface of the partially transparent resin plate 400C disposed in a part of the game area, and the partially transparent resin plate 400C can be uniformly surface-emitted.

  (9) In the first embodiment described above, the light output restricting portion 452 includes the shielding portion 453, but instead of the shielding portion 453, the end surface location flush with the transparent resin plate 400 in the light guide member 480 The light reflecting portion may be provided on the light reflecting portion to reflect light. In this case, light can be effectively output toward the inner wall of the through hole 409 of the transparent resin plate 400.

  (10) In the first embodiment described above, the light guide member 480 has a cylindrical shape, but a light guide member having a shape as shown in FIG. 29 may be adopted. That is, as shown in FIG. 29, the light guide member 480 has a shape in which the end face portion flush with the transparent resin plate 400 is widened earlier, and the through holes 409 of the transparent resin plate 400 are light guide There is a configuration in which a hole is formed so as to fit in the end-spreading shape of the member 480. In this case, the light traveling in the light guide member 480 toward the end face location flush with the transparent resin plate 400 in the light guide member 480 is the shielding portion 453 of the end face location (or the light reflection portion And shields (or reflects) the light, and outputs the light toward the opposite surface of the light guide member 480 facing the inner wall of the through hole of the transparent resin plate 400. Light can be output toward the inner wall of

  (11) In Example 4 mentioned above, although the accommodating part 455 makes the light reflection part the inner surface of the accommodation space which accommodates the light guide member 480, you may employ | adopt the following structures. That is, the light guiding member 480 is a light guiding container having the light incident surface 480 a and the light emitting surface 480 b, and the light reflecting layer is formed on the surface of the light guiding container except the light incident surface 480 a and the light emitting surface 480 b. What is equipped with is mentioned. In this case, the light incident on the light guiding member 480 can be guided to the emitting surface 480 b, and the outer surface of the light guiding member 480 is exposed to the outside except for the incident surface 480 a and the emitting surface 480 b. It can also prevent light from leaking out.

  (12) In the sixth embodiment described above, the entry preventing member 485 is provided with the light incident portion 450 in a part thereof, but the following configuration may be adopted. That is, the game component includes a back surface side member that covers the back surface side of the game component, and the back surface side member includes a light incident portion 450 in a part thereof. In this case, the light incident portion 450 can be provided by using a part of the back surface side member of the game component, and the back surface side of the game component can be covered, and the second of the game components in the transparent resin plate 400 1 Light can also be made incident from the inner wall of the mounting hole.

  (13) In the fourth embodiment described above, the center frame 47 is described as an example of game components, but winning components such as the general winning opening 31, the first starting opening 33, and the second starting opening 34 The ball entry part of the present invention may be adopted. In this case, light can be emitted from the outer periphery of the winning part, and can be made incident on the inner wall of the first mounting hole of the game part in the transparent resin plate 400.

  (14) In each of the above-described embodiments, the transparent resin plate 400 is made to emit light in accordance with the gaming state (big hit state, specific reach display state, time saving state, etc.) of the pachinko machine 10, or the light emission color is changed. It is also good.

  (15) In each of the embodiments described above, the nail tip of the nail 430 may be provided with a threaded portion, and the threaded portion may be implanted in a state of being inserted into the interior of the veneer plate 420. In this case, since the screw portion of the nail tip of the nail 430 is implanted in a state of being inserted into the interior of the veneer 420, in the case of a nail having a screw portion at the nail tip in this way, the nail The nail 430 can be more strongly struck by the veneer 420 than in the case of a nail not having a prior threaded portion. Moreover, when the nail 430 contacts the transparent resin board 400 and the veneer board 420, and the penetration length of the nail 430 into the transparent resin board 400 and the penetration length of the nail 430 into the veneer board 420 are the same. However, the contact area of the veneer plate 420 of the nail 430 can be increased by the threads of the screw portion of the nail tip and the valley structure thereof, and the ratio of supporting the nail 430 is larger for the veneer plate 420 than the transparent resin plate 400 be able to.

  (16) The present invention may be applied to various (eg, first type, third type, etc.) game machines, and may be applied to pachinko machines of a type different from the above embodiment. For example, a pachinko machine (common name, 2 rights, 3 rights May be implemented as In addition, after the jackpot symbol is displayed, it may be implemented as a pachinko machine to be in a special gaming state, as a prerequisite to winning a ball in a predetermined area. Also, it may be implemented as a pachinko machine that is in a special gaming state when the ball enters a predetermined winning opening. Furthermore, other than pachinko machines, various game machines such as arrange ball type pachinko machines, ball balls, game machines in which so-called pachinko machines and slot machines are fused may be implemented.

  In addition, as a specific example of a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are fused, a variable display means is provided for variably displaying a symbol row consisting of a plurality of symbols and then displaying the symbols, and a handle for ball launch is used. There is one that is not prepared. In this case, after a predetermined amount of game balls are inserted based on a predetermined operation (button operation), for example, the variation of the symbol is started due to the operation of the operation lever, for example, due to the operation of the stop button By the passage of time, fluctuation of the symbol is stopped, and a jackpot state advantageous to the player is generated as a necessary condition that the final symbol at the time of the stop is the so-called jackpot symbol, and the player receives the lower tray. A lot of balls are paid out.

  As described above, the present invention is suitable for gaming machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines.
