  Next, the configuration of the game board 30 will be described with reference to FIG. The game board 30 includes a general winning opening 31, a variable winning device 32, a start winning unit (starting opening) 33, a through gate 34, a variable display unit 35, a first special display device 43L, and a second special display device 43R. The specific lamp 40, the normal symbol display device 41, the holding lamp 44 and the like are disposed in through holes formed by router processing, and are attached from the front side of the game board 30 by wood screws or the like. As is well known, when a game ball enters (prizes) various winning openings such as the general winning opening 31, the variable winning device 32, the start winning unit 33, etc., it is detected by various detecting switches and the upper tray 19 (or lower tray 15) A predetermined number of winning balls are paid out. For example, if there is entry to the start winning unit 33, three if there is entry into the general winning opening 31, if there is entry to the variable winning device 32, if there is entry into the variable winning device 32. Fifteen gaming balls are paid out to the upper tray 19 (lower tray 15). In addition, the game board 30 is provided with an out port 36, and game balls that have not won a prize in the various winning ports such as the general winning port 31 are discharged out of the game area through the out port 36. . Further, on the game board 30, a large number of nails are implanted in order to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game ball, and various members (features) such as a windmill are disposed.

  The variable winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which the game ball can not win, and in the big hit state (the occurrence of the special game state), the game ball is in an open state in which a game can be won. Although not shown, the variable winning device 32 has a large winning opening (winning opening) leading to the rear of the gaming board 30, a shutter (movable portion) for opening and closing the high winning opening, and a shutter for operating the shutter. A variable winning device 32 (a large winning opening solenoid (drive means) and a count switch 223 for detecting a game ball entering the large winning opening is driven and controlled to open and close the shutter. The big winning opening is switched between the closed state and the open state.

  The start winning unit 33 includes an upper winning opening 33a and a lower winning opening 33b, and a pair of open / close members 33c provided on both sides of the lower winning opening 33b. Between the open state where the gaming ball flowing down the side of the lower winning opening 33b is guided to the lower winning opening 33b by the opening and closing operation of the opening and closing member 33c in response to the establishment of the predetermined condition It is configured to be state changeable. Although the details will be described later, the start winning unit 33 is provided with a first start winning switch 224a and a second start winning switch 224b for detecting the game balls entered in the upper winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b, respectively. When a game ball is detected by the start winning switch 224a, 224b, a lottery to determine whether or not to generate a big hit state is performed, and special display devices 43L, 43R (and a decorative symbol display device described later) At 42), a variable display is performed to teach the result of the win / fall lottery. Then, when the jackpot is won in the lottery, the jackpot state as a special gaming state in which the variable winning device 32 is opened is provided.

  Further, in the present embodiment, there are a low probability state in which the jackpot is won at a predetermined probability in the success lottery, and a high probability state in which the jackpot is won at a higher probability than the low probability state in the lottery. Furthermore, the opening / closing member 33c is opened relatively frequently, and the high entry state where the game ball can easily enter the lower winning opening 33c, and the opening / closing member 33c is hardly opened, the lower winning opening 33b There is a low ball entry condition that makes it difficult to enter the ball. Hereinafter, a state in which the low probability state and the low ball entry state are referred to as a "normal mode", a state in which the low probability state and the high ball entry state are referred to as a "time shortening mode", a high probability state and a high ball entry state A certain state is called "probability change mode".

  The jackpot type of the present embodiment is 15 round regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as "15 RN"), 15 round super bonus (hereinafter referred to as "15 RS"), and 7 round super bonus (hereinafter referred to as "7 RS"). There are three types. Then, as one round that the variable winning device 32 is opened for 30 seconds or that eight game balls enter the variable winning device 32 after the variable winning device 32 is opened, "15 RN", " For "15 RS" it is repeated 15 times, while for "7 RS" it is repeated 7 times before the jackpot state is ended. Also, the "probability change mode" is given after the end of the jackpot state of "15 RS" and "7 RS", and the "time reduction mode" is given after the end of the jackpot state of "15 RN".

  In the present embodiment, when winning a big hit based on the entry of the game ball to the upper winning opening 33a, and when winning a big hit based on the entry of the game ball to the lower winning opening 33b, Although the ratio of “15 RN” is the same, the ratio of “15 RS” (in other words, the ratio of “7 RN”) is different.

  Each of the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R is configured of a 7-segment display device of a type capable of displaying two characters (and dots), and is installed to the right of the variable winning device 32. When the game ball enters the upper winning opening 33a of the start winning unit 33, switching display (variation display) is performed on the first special display device 43L, and the game ball enters the lower winning opening 33b. In the second special display device 43R, switching display (variation display) is performed in response to the switch. The display contents of the special display devices 43L and 43R are directly controlled by a main control device 261 as main control means described later.

  Moreover, after the fluctuation display is performed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R, the display result when the fluctuation display is stopped is the result of the lottery for winning or not, that is, the "big hit" or "out" The fact that something is displayed is displayed. For example, when the game ball is won in the upper winning opening 33a, the lighting mode (combination of the segments to be lit) is switched (for example, every 4 msec) in a switching display (variation display) on the corresponding first special display device 43L. When the predetermined time has elapsed, one of the lighting modes is stopped (for example, stopped for several seconds). Then, when the "big hit" is won in the lottery, the corresponding lighting mode is displayed when the change is stopped, and a big hit state occurs.

  Furthermore, the special display devices 43L and 43R not only teach that the "big hit" has been won, but also determine the type of the big hit state, that is, which one of "15 RN", "15 RS", and "7 RS". Is also taught. For example, when “7.7.” Is finally displayed (stop-displayed) on the first special display device 43L (or the second special display device 43R), “15 RS” is given, and “n. When “0.” is displayed, “15 RN” is assigned. In addition, there are a plurality of stop modes of the special display devices 43L and 43R teaching one jackpot type instead of one, for example, when “15 RS” occurs, the first special display device 43L (or the second special display device 43R), one of “7.7.”, “Pb”, “5. L.”, “A. 3”,... Is selected and stopped. When one of the first special display device 43L and the second special display device 43R is performing variable display or decision display, the other is turned off (“-” is displayed. If neither the variable display nor the determination display is performed, “−” is displayed on both of them.

  In addition, when the game ball newly wins the start winning unit 33 during the variable display of the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, the variable display of that amount is the variable display being performed at that time It will be done after the end of the That is, the variable display is put on hold (pending). The maximum number of pending variable displays is determined for each type of pachinko machine, but in the present embodiment, it corresponds to the gaming ball that has won the upper winning opening 33a and the gaming ball that has won the lower winning opening 33b. Then, up to 4 variable displays (a total of 8 variable displays) are suspended.

  In addition, the number of times of suspension is indicated by lighting up by the suspension lamp 46 provided in the variable display unit 35. The display content of the storage lamp 46 is controlled by a sub control device 262 as sub control means described later. When the game ball newly wins the start-up winning unit 33 during the jackpot state, the variable display for that portion is also suspended. In addition, the fluctuation display based on the entry of the gaming ball to the upper winning opening 33a (hereinafter referred to as "first variation display") and the variation display based on the entering of the gaming ball to the lower winning opening 33b (hereinafter referred to as " When both of the second variable display are held, the second variable display is digested (preceded) prior to the first variable display.

  The number of the holding lamps 46 is the same as the sum of the maximum number of holdings of the first variable display and the second variable display, and the same number as the number of the variable displays being held (sequentially from the left) Light.

  The fluctuation identification lamp 40 is provided below the special display devices 43L and 43R, and the fluctuation display performed on the decorative symbol display device 42 is either of the upper winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b. Indicates if it is a corresponding one. Furthermore, the fluctuation identification lamp 40 is provided with an LED whose emission color is blue and an LED whose emission color is red, and in the decorative symbol display device 42, the first fluctuation display is triggered by entering the upper winning opening 33a. When it is being performed, the light is emitted in blue, and when the second variation display triggered by entering the lower prize winning opening 33b is performed, the light is emitted in red.

  The through gate 34 is configured such that game balls flowing down the game area can pass one by one. Although the details will be described later, the through gate 34 is provided with a through gate switch 225 capable of detecting a game ball passing through the corresponding through gate 34, and starting is performed when the game ball is detected by the through gate switch 225. A ball entry assist lottery is performed to determine whether or not the winning unit 33 is in the open state. When the player wins in the entry assist lottery, the lower winning opening 33b (opening and closing member 33c) of the start-up winning unit 33 is opened for a specified time.

  In the normal symbol display device 41, variable display for teaching the result of the ball entry assist lottery is performed. More specifically, the normal symbol display device 41 is configured to be able to light up and display "o" and "x" as normal symbols, and for example, each time a game ball passes through the gate 34, "normal symbols" The display is switched at high speed (variation display) in the following manner: ○ → → × → →. When the variable display is stopped for a few seconds with the symbol "o" (winning symbol), the start winning unit 33 (opening and closing member 33c) is in the open state only for a predetermined time. The display contents of the normal symbol display device 41 are directly controlled by a main control device 261 described later.

  Further, when the gaming ball newly passes through gate 34 during the variable display of normal symbol display device 41, the variable display of that portion is performed after the end of the variable display being performed at that time. It has become. That is, the variable display is put on hold (pending). Although the maximum number of times of the variable display to be held is determined for each type of pachinko machine, in the present embodiment, the number of times of holding is held up to 4 times, and the number of times of holding is lit and displayed by the holding lamp 44 There is.

  In addition, the variable display device unit 35 is provided with a decorative symbol display device 42 that performs variable display in accordance with the variable display by the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. The decorative symbol display device 42 is configured as a liquid crystal display device, and the display content is controlled by a sub control device 262 and a display control device 45 described later. That is, in the decorative symbol display device 42, the sub-control device 262 performs an auxiliary operation based on the command from the main control device 261 so as to correspond to the result displayed on the first and second special display devices 43L, 43R. The display content is determined, and display control is performed by the display control device 45 based on the determination.

  For example, the upper, middle and lower three symbol display areas are provided in the decorative symbol display device 42, and plural types of symbols (for example, symbols with numbers 1 to 9) are sequentially displayed in each symbol display area. Then, the symbols are stopped and displayed in order (for example, in the order of the upper symbol display region → the lower symbol display region → the middle symbol display region) for each symbol display region. For example, when the jackpot is determined by the main controller 261, a display corresponding to the jackpot is made on the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, and the symbol corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 The stop display is made at the same time (for example, the upper symbol display area, the middle symbol display area, and the symbols stopped and displayed in the lower pattern display area become the same), and the jackpot state is started.

  Further, when the symbols are stopped and displayed in the combination corresponding to the big hit, for example, the same symbols are stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower pattern display region as the previous step. Thus, the same symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area, and the state in which the variable display is still performed in the middle symbol display area is the reach state.

  In this embodiment, after the reach state occurs, in the middle symbol display area, the same symbol as the symbol (reach symbol) stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display region and the lower symbol display region is stopped and displayed (Zoro eyes In the case of stop display), a jackpot state is given. Moreover, in the case of odd number Zorozu, "15RS" or "7RS" to which the probability change mode is given after the end of the jackpot state is given, and in the case of even Zoromata "15RN", "15RS", Or "7 RS" is given either. Moreover, the combination of symbols other than Zorozu basically teaches "disengagement".

  Further, a center frame 47 is disposed in the variable display unit 35 so as to surround the decorative symbol display unit 42. A ball entry port 151 is provided at the upper part of the center frame 47, and the gaming ball entered into the ball entry port 151 is formed inside the center frame 47, and along the side of the decorative symbol display device 42. It is guided on a stage 153 formed below the decorative symbol display device 42 via a warp channel 152 extending vertically. The game ball guided on the stage 153 falls from the stage 153 onto the game area in front, or rolls on the stage 153 and then enters a pocket 154 formed on the central back side of the stage 153 . The pocket 154 is in communication with the guide passage 155 leading to the game area immediately above the start winning unit 33 (upper winning opening 33a), and the gaming ball entering the pocket 154 has a relatively high probability. It is designed to enter the starting winning unit 33 (upper winning opening 33a).

  Further, on the game board 30, there are attached rails 50 for guiding the game balls fired from the launcher 60 to the upper part of the game board 30, which are composed of an inner rail structure 51 and an outer rail structure 52. As a result, the game balls fired in response to the turning operation of the handle 18 are guided through the firing rails 61 and the rails 50 into the game area formed between the game board 30 and the glass unit 137.

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to the end portion (upper left portion in FIG. 4) of the inner rail forming portion 51. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the gaming balls guided from the rail 50 to the gaming area once return to the inside of the rail 50 again. Further, a rubber return 54 is attached to a substantially front end portion (upper right portion in FIG. 4) of the outer rail configuration portion 52. The game ball fired with a predetermined momentum or more strikes the return rubber 54 and is returned to, for example, the substantially central portion side of the game board 30.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the outer rail forming portion 52 is disconnected at the upper right portion of the game board 30, and the inner rail forming portion 51 is disconnected at the lower right portion of the game board 30. For this reason, the play area is defined by the rail 50 and the inner peripheral surface of the window hole 39 of the resin base 38.

It can be avoided that the light is transmitted forward through the through holes 408 of the central electric decoration substrate 411. For this reason, although the three-color LED 413 of the central electric decoration board 411 does not emit light, the light of the LED 423 of the side electric decoration board 421 is transmitted forward through the through hole 408 of the central electric decoration board 411 Thus, it is possible to avoid the situation where the light emitting area (the central lamp portion 402) which appears to emit light when the three-color LED 413 of the central illumination board 411 emits light can be seen to emit light. Therefore, while the configuration is simplified and the design freedom is improved, the visual switching between the light emission state of the three-color LED 413 of the central electric decoration board 411 and the non-light emission state becomes clearer, which is clearer It is possible to derive the aspect of light (such as presentation).

  (A) In the first embodiment, the through hole 408 of the central electric decoration substrate 411 is closed from the rear side by the closing member 427, but may be closed from the front side or closed from both sides It may be However, when the blocking material 427 is placed on the front side of the central electric decoration substrate 411, it may cause a decrease in design such as slight shadowing of the light of the three-color LED 413, or Among them, even if the part that protrudes to the outside of the through hole 408 is scraped off later, there is a risk of causing deterioration in workability, damage to the conductive pattern, etc. desirable.

  In addition, the blocking member 427 does not necessarily have to be made of an insulating material. However, when the blocking member 427 is made of a conductive material, the blocking member 427 not only covers the land of the symmetrical through hole 408 but also another conductive pattern which does not need to be electrically conducted in the operation of blocking the through hole 408 If it adheres to the surface of the electronic circuit, the electronic circuit may not function, and so it is desirable to be made of an insulating material.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the through hole 408 through which the lead 418 of the electronic component is inserted is also closed by the closing member 427, but the through hole 408 is not closed by the closing member 427. May be That is, by securely performing soldering so that the through hole 408 is closed, the through hole 408 does not have to be closed by the closing member 427. Further, in this case, after forming the printed wiring board (conductive pattern) of the central electric decoration substrate 411 and before mounting the electronic component, the through holes 408 other than the through holes 408 through which the leads 418 of the electronic component are inserted. Since it is not necessary to perform the step of closing the through hole 408 through which the lead 418 of the electronic component is inserted with the closing member 427, the workability is improved. Is taken.

  In addition, in the above embodiment, though the through hole 408 is closed by the closing member 427 directly attached to the central electric decoration substrate 411, it is directly attached to the peripheral portion of the through hole 408 of the central electric decoration substrate 411. For example, using a closing member (for example, an opaque plate, another substrate) disposed so as to cover at least a portion of the rear surface of the central illumination substrate 411 where the through hole 408 is provided. Or the through hole 408 may be closed. Further, from the viewpoint of suppressing the passage of light to the through holes 408, the closing member is preferably disposed in proximity to or in contact with the central electric decoration board 411. In this case, the closing member is It is preferable to be made of an insulator so that circuits that are not desired to conduct electricity through the decorative substrate 411 do not conduct electricity through the closing member. Furthermore, the closing member may be supported by a member other than the central electric decoration substrate 411, or may be configured to be engaged with the central electric decoration substrate 411 with a locking means or the like.

  The shapes of the electric decoration unit 401 and the like, the arrangement and number of the three-color LEDs 413 as electric decoration means, the number of wiring layers 406 of the central electric decoration board 411 and the side electric decoration board 421, etc. It can be changed appropriately. Further, even if it is not the through hole 408, when the through hole is formed in the central electric decorative substrate 411, the through hole is closed by the closing member 427.

  (B) In the first embodiment, the through hole for the through hole 408 is formed before the conductive pattern on the surface of the central electric decoration substrate 411 is formed (etched), and the inner circumferential surface of the through hole is formed. Through holes 408 are formed by applying conductive plating, and then a lid for forming a conductive pattern by a subtractive method from the front and back sides of central conductive substrate 411 so that a solution for forming a conductive pattern does not enter into through holes 408 The printed wiring board of the central electric decoration board 411 is manufactured by passing through the process of forming the conductive pattern, and after forming the conductive pattern, it exists on the front and back sides of the central electric decoration board 411 and seals the through holes 408. By leaving at least one of the lids (closing members), the lid may be configured to be used as the closing member 427. In this case, there is no need to fill the through holes 408 after the printed wiring board of the central electric decoration substrate 411 is formed, or to introduce a machine for automatically performing such work, thereby improving productivity. And the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  In the above embodiment, the conductive pattern may be formed by a subtractive method or an additive method. Further, the method of the resist is not particularly limited, and an etching resist, a solder resist, a photoresist, a screen printing resist, and the like can be appropriately selected. Furthermore, although each of the electric decoration substrates 411 and 421 is constituted by a four-layer substrate having four wiring layers 406, the number of wiring layers 406 is not limited and may be three or less. Or four or more layers.

  (C) In the first embodiment, the through holes 408 penetrating all the layers of the central electric decoration board 411 are provided in order to electrically connect the wiring layers 406, but the present invention is particularly limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, a blind as a connection hole electrically connecting between the outer layer on the outer side of the central electric decoration substrate 411 and the inner layer on the inner side in the wiring layer 406. The electrical connection between the wiring layers 406 may be performed only by the vias 481 and the buried vias 482 electrically connecting the inner layer and the inner layer.

  Furthermore, by adopting such a configuration, the positions of the holes of the respective insulating layers 405 can be shifted (one or a part does not overlap), and in this case, the light of the LED 423 of the side electric decoration board 421 Through the holes formed in the decoration substrate 411, it is possible to suppress the situation where the light is transmitted forward. In particular, when the electronic component mounted on the central electric decoration substrate 411 is not the through hole mounting soldered through the lead 418 to the through hole 408 but is surface mounted, the penetration in the central electric decoration substrate 411 Holes can be eliminated, and this effect can be more reliably achieved. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to close the holes (to fill the closing member 427) in a later step, it is possible to improve workability and the like.

  (D) In the case of adopting the configuration of (c), as shown in FIG. 17, it is preferable to form a plurality of insulating layers 405 as shown in FIG. 18 rather than forming through holes for each insulating layer 405. It is desirable to divide into two groups, respectively connect (stick), and to form a through hole (a hole is made in a state where two sheets are fixed). In this case, the number of operations for forming the through holes and the operation for plating the inner peripheral surface of the through holes can be reduced, and alignment of the through holes for electrical connection between the wiring layers 406 or conductive patterns The work to connect can be reduced, and the workability can be further improved.

  (E) In the first embodiment, the three-color LED 413 of the central electric decoration substrate 411 and the LED 423 of the side electric decoration substrate 421 are disposed such that the surfaces of the central electric decoration substrate 411 and the side electric decoration substrate 421 face forward. Although the light is basically directed forward, it is not particularly limited to such a configuration. For example, the central electric decoration board 411 and the central electric decoration board 411 so that the light emitted from the three-color LED 413 of the central electric decoration board 411 and the LEDs 423 of the side electric decoration board 421 can be emitted toward the inner peripheral side (or outer peripheral side) of the center frame 47 While the side illumination decoration board 421 is provided, the center illumination decoration board 411 is arranged on the inner peripheral side (or outer circumference side) of the center frame 47 than the side illumination decoration board 421, and at least the three color LED 413 of the central illumination decoration board 411 is The light emitting unit that looks bright by emitting light may be configured to be visible to a player located in front of the pachinko machine 10. Furthermore, when adopting the configuration, the light of the three-color LED 413 and the LED 423 of the central electric decoration board 411 and the side electric decoration board 421 is reflected forward by a mirror or the like so as to be visible from the player in front. It is also good.

  (F) In the second embodiment, the three front electric decoration substrates 432, the middle electric decoration substrate 433 and the rear electric decoration substrate 434 are disposed in the front and rear, but the number of electric decoration substrates overlapping in the front and rear is movable There is no particular limitation on the presence or absence of the hole, the shape of the hole passing through the substrate, etc. In the electric decoration substrate, a conductive path is formed in the hole for transmitting the light of the light emitting means of the electric decoration substrate disposed behind itself It may be a configuration in which 457 is formed.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the decorative symbol display device 42 constitutes a rendering member, and the decorative symbol display device 42 is configured to be visible through the middle plate central opening 442 of the middle electric decoration substrate 433. There is no particular limitation on the effect member that can be visually recognized through the electric decoration substrate, and for example, a character such as an electric decoration substrate, a figure or the like, a seal with a decorative pattern printed on the outer peripheral surface, etc. Various display devices such as a reel, a liquid crystal display device, and a segment display device may be employed.

  (G) In the second embodiment, the through holes of the middle electric decoration substrate 433 and the front electric decoration substrate 432 are eliminated, and the conductive path 457 is formed in the middle plate central opening 442, the front plate central opening 451, and the decorative opening 452. By forming the wiring layer, electrical connection between the wiring layers 406 may be performed.

  Further, in the second embodiment, a plurality of conductive paths 457 are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the middle plate central opening 442, but the present invention is not particularly limited to such a configuration, and is one. It is also good. In the case where a plurality of conductive paths 457 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the middle plate central opening 442, for example, the light of the three-color LED 434a of the rear illumination substrate 434 is reflected to the conductive path 457. The conductive paths 457 may be provided at equal positions centered on the central portion of the plate central opening 442 or the like.

  In addition, the conductive paths 457 may be formed on the entire inner peripheral surface of the middle plate central opening 442 or the decorative opening 452, but the conductive paths are on the front and back surfaces of the middle electric decoration substrate 433 or the front electric decoration substrate 432. In the vicinity of 457, a conductive pattern which is not electrically connected to the conductive path 457 can not be extended closely, which may lead to deterioration of space efficiency. Alternatively, the conductive path 457 may be formed by applying conductive plating to the entire inner peripheral surface of the middle plate central opening 442 or the decorative opening 452, and then removing a part other than the remaining part. Alternatively, the conductive material such as the solder may be extended only to the necessary part of the inner peripheral surface of the middle plate central opening 442 or the decorative opening 452.

  (H) In the third embodiment, the three-color LED 465 is arranged in a well-balanced manner (one for each petal) with respect to the outer shape of the decorative part 463 (the flower shape having five petals). The connecting portion 472 connecting the LED 465 and the track portion 471 is also extended approximately symmetrically in the left-right direction, but is not particularly limited to such a configuration.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 19, the track 471 extends in a star shape having five corners corresponding to a star-shaped decorative part (not shown), and two three-color LEDs 465 are provided on the inner peripheral side. When the connecting portions 472 extend from the three-color LEDs 465 to the railway portion 471, respectively, the pair of connecting portions 472 extend away from the symmetrical position. A separate decoration pattern 485 may be extended so that the conductive patterns on the inner peripheral side extend to symmetrical positions or even positions as much as possible. The decorative pattern 485 may constitute a circuit together with other conductive patterns, or may be a mere decoration not electrically connected to the circuit.

  The shape of the decorative role product 463 and the number, type, arrangement, and the like of the light emitting means (three-color LED 465) are not particularly limited, and can be changed as appropriate. In addition, in the third embodiment, the non-transmissive portion is configured by the plated portion 464. However, for example, when a part of the decorative part 463 is configured by the opaque resin, the opaque resin is not formed. You may comprise so that it may correspond to a permeation | transmission part.

  Moreover, in the said 3rd Embodiment, although the plating part 464 is formed along the outer periphery of the decoration character 463, seeing the decoration character 463 from the front, it is formed in the inner peripheral side rather than the outer periphery. It is also good. Further, in FIG. 16 and the like, along the substantially entire circumference of the outer peripheral edge of the decorative character 463 when the decorative character 463 is viewed from the front, the railway portion 471 is provided, although it may be provided along a part Good.

  (I) Although the plated portion 464 is provided in the third embodiment, the plated portion 464 is omitted, and along the outer peripheral edge (outline) of the decorative portion 463 when the decorative portion 463 is viewed from the front. The roadside portion 471 may be formed. Also in this case, the railway portion 471 can be configured to be as inconspicuous as possible.

  Further, although not particularly mentioned in the third embodiment, the three-color LED 465 mounted on the electric decoration board 462 may be surface mounted. In this case, a through hole for the three-color LED 465 is not necessary, and a decrease in the designability due to the through hole being viewed through the decorative part 463 can be avoided.

  (J) In the third embodiment, the decorative character 463 may be configured to be rotatable and have a rotationally symmetric shape. In this case, even if the decorative character 463 is rotated and the decorative character 463 is stopped in any direction, the railway portion 471 can be configured so as not to be so conspicuous or to reduce the design. For example, in the case where the rotation axis of the decorative character 463 extends in the front-rear direction, the decorative character 463 has a round shape, and the plated portion 464 is formed along the outer peripheral edge, the decorative character 463 is at any position Even if it stops, the roadside portion 471 can be similarly made inconspicuous. Moreover, when the decorative character 463 has a flower shape having a plurality of petals, there is a possibility that the designability may be deteriorated even if the railway portion 471 is stopped at a position not coincident with the outer peripheral edge of the decorative character 463. It is also conceivable that the appearance is improved at a low price. Therefore, while the decorative character 463 is configured to be rotatable to improve the decorativeness and the like, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the designability caused by the visual recognition of the conductive pattern.

  (K) In the above embodiment, although the present invention is embodied in the electric decoration unit provided on the upper portion of the center frame 47, it is not particularly limited to such a configuration, and for example, it is disposed on the front side of the front frame set 14 It is also possible to apply to the electric decoration member. Further, each of the electric decoration substrates may not be a rigid substrate, but may be a flexible substrate.

  (L) In the above embodiment, the open / close pattern of the number of jackpot types and the variable winning device 32 of various jackpot types is not particularly limited, and various jackpot types can be set. Further, in the above embodiment, although the winning probability in the success or failure lottery changes, the winning probability does not change (is constant), and the period of time shortening mode provided after the end of the jackpot state The above configuration may be applied to a pachinko machine in which a plurality of patterns are prepared. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, in the decorative symbol display device 42, an image object meaning that the variable display in the special display devices 43L and 43R and the normal symbol display device 41 is suspended in the lower right and lower left portions of the display unit Although configured to be displayed, by providing a lamp corresponding to the suspension of the variable display and performing lighting control, the player may be taught the presence or absence and the number of suspension of the variable display.

  (M) A pachinko machine of a type different from that of the above embodiment may be implemented. For example, movable means that can be changed to a specific area where game balls moving in the game area can enter the ball, an open state that allows the ball to enter the specific area, and a closed state that prohibits the ball to enter the specific area ( A variable ball entry means having a wing member), a specific ball entry means and a non-specific ball entry means capable of entering a game ball entering a specific area, and a game ball entering a specific ball entry means The game ball which is provided outside the specific area and can enter the game ball which is provided outside the specific area and can move the game area can enter the game ball which has entered the start ball means and the game ball entry means When the game ball enters the specific area, the game ball is designated as the specific ball entry means and the non-specified ball entry means, and the main control means performs opening / closing control of the variable ball entry means. A predetermined number of game values (game balls) are given to the player regardless of which of the ball entering means enters the ball And the main control means is a small hitting state in which the variable ball entering means is opened one or more times for a first time based on the detection of the start ball entering detecting means, or the variable ball entering means is Whether the second time open state longer than the time or the jackpot state to repeat this specified number of times with one round until the specified number of gaming balls enter the open variable prize means is generated or not If a win or miss lottery is performed and a small hit is won in the hit / off lottery, a small hit state is generated, if a big hit is won in the hit / off lottery, and if there is a detection of the specific entering detection means May be applied to a gaming machine that generates a jackpot state.

  In addition to pachinko machines, the game is implemented as an arrange ball machine, various types of game machines such as ball ball similar to it, slot machines as rotating game machines, and gaming machines of a type combining slot machines and pachinko machines. You may In addition, for example, as a special gaming state of the slot machine, the winning of a specific child role (for example, a child role that can obtain a predetermined number of medals, a child role that can perform a lottery for winning or not performed by operating the start lever) A state in which the probability is enhanced (so-called bonus, assist replay time, etc.), and when a specific child role is established, the game machine capable of acquiring the specific child role by determining the pressing order of the plurality of stop buttons provided. In the above, there is a state where navigation in the push order is performed.

[Supplementary note]
The technical ideas that can be grasped from the above embodiment will be described below.

Means A-1. A plurality of light emitting substrates provided with light emitting means in a predetermined area and provided so as to be capable of irradiating the light of the light emitting means in a predetermined direction;
Among the plurality of light emitting substrates, the first light emitting substrate is disposed forward (forward side) in the predetermined direction with respect to the second light emitting substrate, and penetrates in the thickness direction of the first light emitting substrate. A game machine characterized in that the formed through hole is closed.

  According to the means A-1, the first light emitting substrate and the second light emitting substrate are partitioned by the material having a light shielding property at the rear (hereinafter simply referred to as the rear) in the predetermined direction with respect to the first light emitting substrate. Even if it is not, it can be avoided that the light of the light emitting means of the second light emitting substrate is transmitted forward (hereinafter simply referred to as the front) in the predetermined direction through the through hole of the first light emitting substrate. Therefore, although the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate does not emit light, the light of the light emitting means of the second light emitting substrate is transmitted forward through the through hole of the first light emitting substrate. It is possible to avoid a situation in which the light emitting area that appears to emit light is emitted by the light emission of the light emitting means of the light emitting substrate. Therefore, while the configuration is simplified and the design freedom is improved, the visual switching between the light emitting state of the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate and the non-light emitting state becomes clearer, and a clearer light can be obtained. An aspect (a presentation etc.) can be derived.

  In particular, when the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate emits light, the configuration of the present means A-1 is adopted when teaching, suggesting, notifying etc. that the predetermined condition is satisfied for the player etc. By doing this, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a player or the like misrecognized. Therefore, it is not possible to concentrate on the game due to the player or the like feeling uncomfortable or uneasy because it is not clear whether the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate plays light and emits light. Can be prevented.

  In addition, the light emitting means disposed in the predetermined area is divided and mounted on the first light emitting substrate and the second light emitting substrate, and the first light emitting substrate and the second light emitting substrate are arranged by being offset in the front and back direction. A large number of light emitting means can be installed in the region, fine lighting control can be performed, and a three-dimensional effect in the front-rear direction can be obtained, so that designability, performance, heat dissipation, etc. can be improved.

  As the holes formed in the thickness direction in the first light emitting substrate, conductive plating is applied on the inner peripheral side, and not only through holes electrically connecting the wiring layers on which the conductive patterns are formed, but also the first (1) The purpose is to include all through holes such as holes (electrically conductive plating may or may not be provided) for mounting electronic components mounted on the light emitting substrate. Furthermore, at least a part of the first light emitting substrate and the second light emitting substrate may be disposed to face each other in the predetermined direction.

  Further, for example, each light emitting substrate may be configured to be capable of irradiating the light of the light emitting means forward (of the gaming machine), and the first light emitting substrate may be disposed in front of the second light emitting substrate. Furthermore, for example, the light emitted from the light emitting means is on the inner peripheral side (or outer peripheral side) of the frame-like member with respect to the frame-like member in which the region of the inner periphery (or outer periphery) is visible in a substantially frame shape. The first light emitting substrate and the second light emitting substrate so as to be able to emit light toward the), and the first light emitting substrate is disposed on the inner peripheral side (or outer peripheral side) of the frame member than the second light emitting substrate; At least the light emitting section of the first light emitting substrate may emit light, and the light emitting section that looks shiny may be configured to be visible to a player located in front of the gaming machine. Further, in the case of adopting the configuration, the light of the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate and the second light emitting substrate may be reflected forward by a mirror or the like so as to be visible from the player in front.

Means A-2. In a configuration in which a success or failure lottery as to whether or not a special gaming state advantageous to the player is to be generated in response to establishment of a predetermined condition is performed,
The light emitting means mounted on the first light emitting substrate is configured to be able to change to the corresponding light emission mode when it is determined that the special gaming state is to be generated in the acceptance lottery. The gaming machine according to means A-1 characterized by the above.

  According to the means A-2, since the light emission mode by the light emission means of the first light emitting substrate can teach the result of the winning lottery directly linked to the player's loss, through the through hole of the first light emitting substrate By preventing the light of the light emitting means of the second light emitting substrate from being transmitted forward, the operation and effect of avoiding the misrecognition of the light emitting mode of the first light emitting substrate can be more remarkably exhibited. That is, for example, in the configuration in which the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate emits light only when the special game state is won by the lottery, the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate does not emit light but the light emitting means of the second light emitting substrate Light penetrates through the through hole of the first light emitting substrate, the player misunderstands that the first light emitting substrate is emitting light, and it is unpleasant because the special gaming state does not occur. It is possible to avoid a situation in which thinking and thinking become anarchy and that playing a game itself becomes uncomfortable.

  Means A-3. The means A-1 or A-2 described in the means A-1 or A-2 is characterized in that the through hole is closed on the back surface (rear surface) side opposite to the surface (front surface) on which the light emitting device is mounted among the first light emitting substrates.

Means A-5. A through hole penetrating in the thickness direction is formed on the surface of the first light emitting substrate before the conductive pattern is formed, and conductive plating is applied to the inner peripheral side of the through hole to form a through hole. A hole is formed and then a conductive pattern is formed by a subtractive method to form a printed wiring board of the first light emitting substrate having an insulating layer and a wiring layer on which the conductive pattern is formed. ,

  According to measure A-5, when forming (etching) the conductive pattern, by leaving at least a part of the blocking member blocking the through hole so that the solution does not enter the through hole, the through hole can be formed. Light transmission can be prevented. Therefore, there is no need to perform the work of filling the through holes after the printed wiring board of the first light emitting substrate is formed, or to introduce a machine for automatically performing such work, thereby improving productivity and manufacturing cost. Can be reduced.

Means B-1. A plurality of light emitting substrates provided with light emitting means in a predetermined area and provided so as to be capable of irradiating the light of the light emitting means in a predetermined direction;
Among the plurality of light emitting substrates, the first light emitting substrate is disposed on the front side (front side) in the predetermined direction with respect to the second light emitting substrate, and has two or more wiring layers on which conductive patterns are formed. ,

A game machine characterized by being closed so as not to be.

  According to the means B-1, even if the first light emitting substrate and the second light emitting substrate are not partitioned by the material having the light shielding property behind the first light emitting substrate, the light emitting means of the second light emitting substrate is used. It can be avoided that light is transmitted forward through the connection hole of the first light emitting substrate. As a result, basically, the same operation and effect as those of the means A-1 are exhibited.

Means B-2. The first light emitting substrate is constituted by a multilayer substrate having three or more wiring layers in which a conductive pattern is formed,
The first light emitting substrate is not formed with a through hole that directly penetrates between the front surface and the back surface, and the wiring layer formed on one of the surface and the back surface of the first light emitting substrate; A blind via for connecting to the wiring layer sandwiched by the insulating layers of the first light emitting substrate is formed.

  According to the means B-2, the first light emitting substrate is provided with the blind via as the connection hole, and the first light emitting substrate is formed without forming the through hole which directly penetrates between the front surface and the back surface. The electrical connection between the wiring layers can be reliably made. Therefore, it is not necessary to close the connection holes and fill up the resin with respect to the first light emitting substrate, and the unevenness on the front and back surfaces of the first light emitting substrate can be reduced as much as possible. Can.

  As in the above-mentioned means A-2, the light emitting mode of the first light emitting substrate may be configured to be able to teach the generation of the special game state. Also, the first light emitting substrate may be formed by a build up method. In addition, a buried via may be formed to connect the wiring layers sandwiched by the insulating layers of the first light emitting substrate.

Means B-3. The first light emitting substrate is constituted by a multilayer substrate having four or more wiring layers on which conductive patterns are formed,
Of the plurality of insulating layers and wiring layers constituting the first light emitting substrate, the insulating layers and the wiring layers are alternately arranged such that at least one insulating layer is left and two or more insulating layers are included. After the first stacked body stacked and connected to each other and the second stacked body in which the remaining insulating layers and the wiring layers are alternately stacked and connected to each other are formed, the first stacked body is formed. It penetrates in the thickness direction, and while forming the 1st penetration hole by which the inner skin was electroconductive plated, it penetrates to the thickness direction to the 2nd layered product, and the inner skin is electroplated Forming the second through holes, and stacking and connecting the first laminate and the second laminate to form the first light emitting substrate;

  According to the means B-3, the electrical connection between the wiring layers can be reliably performed without forming a through hole which directly penetrates the first light emitting substrate. Therefore, the same function and effect as those of the above-mentioned means 7 are exhibited. In addition, in the present means B-3, the first light emitting substrate is constituted instead of processing the through holes and stacking three or more insulating layers (and conductive patterns laid thereon) one by one. A plurality of insulating layers are divided into two groups (for example, if there are four insulating layers, two layers may be two in two + two layers, or two pairs in three layers + 1 layer) may be connected respectively, and then each may be penetrated It forms a hole. Therefore, the number of operations for forming the through holes (and the operation of conducting conductive plating on the inner peripheral surface of the through holes) can be reduced, and the through holes are aligned in order to electrically connect the wiring layers. Alternatively, the work of connecting with the conductive pattern can be reduced, and the workability can be further improved, the productivity can be further improved, and the like.

  According to the means B-4, it is not necessary to form a through hole (component hole) for inserting a lead of the electronic component in the first light emitting substrate as in the case where the electronic component is mounted through the hole. As in the case of B-1, when the connection hole is closed, there is no hole penetrating in the thickness direction in the first light emitting substrate. Therefore, even if the connection hole is closed, it is possible to avoid the situation where an operation of filling the component hole penetrating the first light emitting substrate becomes necessary.
