  In the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5, the variable display of decorative symbols is started in response to the start of the special symbol game.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41 provided in the gaming area 10, the normal game with the normal symbol display 20 is started. After the normal symbol variable display is started, if a predetermined time, which is the normal symbol variable display time, elapses and the normal symbols other than the normal symbol are stopped and displayed, the normal symbol variable display result will be “Normal Map Loss”. It becomes ". When a specific normal symbol (flat symbol per symbol) is stopped and displayed, the variable display result of the normal symbol becomes “per common symbol”, and the open control is performed so that the movable plate of the variable winning ball device 6B is retracted from the game area 10 When the predetermined time elapses, the normal opening control is performed to return to the closed position protruding into the game area 10.

  For example, based on the fact that the first start condition has been established, for example, due to the end of the previous special view game or the big hit gaming state after the first start condition is established after the game ball has won the first start winning opening etc. Then, the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started. In addition, after the second start condition is satisfied by the game ball winning the second start winning opening, etc., the second start condition is satisfied by, for example, the end of the previous special view game or the big hit gaming state. Based on this, a special game is started by the second special symbol display device 4B.

  In the special figure game, after the variable display of the special symbol is started, when the variable display time has elapsed, the fixed special symbol (special graphic display result) is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed, “big hit” is obtained as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, “lost” is displayed. After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as “round game”) is executed a predetermined number of times.

  In the big hit gaming state, a special winning prize ball device 7 has a special prize opening door for a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winning balls. In the period until the occurrence of, the big winning opening will be in the open state. As a result, a round is performed in which the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is brought into the first state (opened state) which is advantageous for the player.

  A special prize-winning ball device that receives a game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2 and then closes the big prize-winning slot, with the grand prize-winning door that has opened the grand prize-winning port during the round. 7 is changed to a second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is ended. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of times of execution reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16” or the like).

  In the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the image display device 5, the variable display of decorative symbols is started in response to the start of the special symbol game. The variable display state of the decorative symbol may be in a predetermined reach state during a period from the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol to the end of the variable display. The reach state is a display in which the decorative symbols that are not yet stopped and displayed when the decorative symbols that are stopped and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 constitute a part of the jackpot combination are continuously variable. This is a state, or a display state in which all or part of the decorative symbols change synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination.

  As a fixed special symbol in the special figure game, among the multiple types of big hit combinations, a fixed decorative symbol that is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as “non-probable variable big hit combination”) is stopped and displayed, and the variable display result is “non-probable big win” When it becomes "", it is controlled to a big hit state, and time shortening control (time saving control) is performed after the end. By performing the time reduction control, the variable symbol variable display time (special symbol variable display time) in the special symbol game is shortened compared to the normal state. In the time saving control, so-called electric Chu support is implemented in which the winning frequency of the normal symbol is increased and the winning frequency of the variable winning ball device 6B is increased. In the time-saving control, one of the conditions is established first, that is, a special game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the big hit gaming state is finished and the variable display result is “big hit”. Sometimes it just needs to end.

  As a fixed special symbol in the special drawing game, a fixed decoration symbol to be a predetermined odd variation big hit combination (also referred to as a "positive variation big hit combination") is displayed in a stopped state among a plurality of big hit combinations, and a variable display result is "positive variation big hit" If it becomes, it is controlled to the big hit state, and after the end, probability variable display control (probability change control) is performed together with time reduction control. By performing the probability variation control, the probability that the variable display result is “big hit” in each special figure game is improved so as to be higher than that in the normal state. In the probability variation control, when the condition that the variable display result is “big hit” and the game is controlled again to the big hit gaming state after the big hit gaming state is completed, a predetermined number of times (for example, the same as the number of time reductions is 100). When the special figure game is executed, the probability variation control lottery executed every time the special figure game is started after the jackpot game state is finished is determined to have “probable fall”. When it ends, etc.

  When the time reduction control is performed, the control for reducing the normal symbol variable display time (normal map variable display time) in the normal game to be shorter than that in the normal state, or the variable symbol display result of each normal game is “ Control to improve the probability of being hit per flat figure more than in the normal state, and moving control time to control the movement of the movable plate in the variable winning ball device 6B based on the variable display result becoming “per flat piece” The second start condition can be established by making it easier for the game ball to pass (enter) the second start winning opening, such as control for making it longer than in the normal state, and control for increasing the number of movements compared to in the normal state. Control (electricity chew support control, high opening control) that is advantageous for the player by enhancing the performance is performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure is easily established, and the special figure game can be executed frequently, so that the variable display result is “big hit” next. Time to become is shortened.

There is no thing limited to a thing and it can change variously.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, the window part 51 is used as the 1st structure part 260 as a 1st structure part which has the back transmission board 261 as a 1st transmission part, and the 2nd transmission part different from the back transmission board 261. And a second component 250 as a second component formed so as to protrude to the opposite side (front side) of the game area 10 with respect to the first component 260. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the window 51 may include other components other than the first component and the second component.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, although the form which applied the back transmission plate 261 and the front transmission plate 251 was illustrated as an example of a 1st transmission part and a 2nd transmission part, this invention is not limited to this. The rear transmission plate 261 and the front transmission plate 251 are not necessarily limited to those formed in a plate shape, and the shape is arbitrary. Moreover, although the 1st cylindrical body 252 and the 2nd cylindrical body 253 illustrated the form formed in a cylinder shape, this invention is not limited to this, Even if it is not necessarily formed in a cylinder shape. Good.

  Next, a launch inspection performed in the final stage of the manufacturing process of the gaming machine will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  First, the manufacturing process of the gaming machine will be briefly described. As shown in FIG. 7, the manufacturing process of the gaming machine mainly includes a nailing process (S1), a component assembling process (S2), and a gauge board assembling process (S3). ), Gauge board inspection step (S4), assembly inspection step (S5), and packing step (S6), and the firing inspection step is executed in the assembly inspection step.

  In the nailing step (S1), an obstacle nail is driven into the gauge board (game board) 2 with an automatic nailing machine or the like, and it is checked whether the obstacle nail that is driven is normal or not. Nail maintenance etc. which maintain the judged obstacle nail in a normal state are performed. In the present embodiment, an external processing is performed in advance and an insertion hole (guide hole) for driving in an obstacle nail is formed, and an acrylic plate or a veneer plate to which a cell sheet or the like is attached is used. In the step (S1), a form not including the steps such as the outer shape processing of the acrylic plate or the veneer plate, the insertion hole processing, the cell sheet sticking, etc. is illustrated, but these steps are designated as the nail driving step (S1). It may be included.

  In the parts assembling step (S2), the gauge board (game board) 2 includes the launch rails 2a and guide rails 2b, the windmill, the center decoration frame 52, each winning opening, the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B, special variable Parts such as the winning ball device 7 and the gate 41 are attached.

  In the gauge board assembling step (S3), the gauge board (game board) 2 includes a movable body (a character), a liquid crystal display module to be the image display device 5, a main substrate 11 stored in a substrate case, and effect control Various substrates such as the substrate 12 and the power supply substrate are attached and connected.

  In the gauge board inspection step (S4), it is actually checked whether the assembled gauge board (game board) 2 for which the gauge board assembly step (S3) is finished operates properly or not. ) To check the operation.

  In the assembly inspection process (S5), the gauge board (game board) 2 whose operation has been confirmed in the gauge board inspection process (S4) is replaced with a frame (table) for a gaming machine in which a speaker, a ball-hitting operation handle 30 and the like are already mounted. In the integrated state, the hitting operation handle 30 is operated to actually launch the game ball, and a launch test is performed to check whether the game ball can be launched without any problem.

  In the packing step (S6), the pachinko gaming machine 1 which is confirmed to have no problem in the firing inspection in the assembly inspection step (S5) is sealed in a film, packaged in a cardboard or the like, and shipped. In addition, when there is a period from the time of manufacture to the time of shipment, the film is stored in a warehouse in a state of being sealed in a film, and packing into a cardboard is performed at the time of shipment.

  As described above, the launch inspection is performed when the gauge board (game board) 2 and the gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 are integrated in the assembly inspection process (S5) immediately before the packing process (S6). It is a test to be performed.

  Here, the firing inspection of the present embodiment executed in the assembly inspection step (S5) will be described. As described above, these launch inspections are performed on the gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 on the gauge board (game board) 2. Will be run after installing As shown in FIG. 9, the attachment of the gauge board (game board) 2 to the gaming machine frame (underframe) 3 and the emission inspection are carried with the gaming machine frame (underframe) 3 standing up It takes place on the possible transport path H.

  In other words, a gauge board (game board) 2 is attached to a gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 placed in the transport path H, and the attached gauge board (game board) 2 and gaming machine frame (base frame). The pachinko gaming machine 1 is assembled by connecting to 3 and the like. However, the window unit 51 </ b> A is not attached to the opening / closing frame 50.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 in a state in which the window unit 51A is not attached is transported on the transport path H to a predetermined inspection position where the emission inspection is performed, and the emission inspection is performed. The transport path H allows the pachinko gaming machine 1 to be in a state in which the board surface of the gauge board (game board) 2 is substantially vertical, which is substantially the same as the state where the pachinko gaming machine 1 is installed in the game hall. The machine 1 can be transported and fired in a state in which the surface of the gauge board (game board) 2 is substantially vertical, that is, almost the same as the state where the pachinko gaming machine 1 is installed in the game hall. Tests (also called ball skipping inspections) can be conducted.

  The firing test is optimally performed with the window unit 51A attached as in the original use. However, in the packaging process after the firing test, the window unit is used during transportation after shipment. Since it is necessary to pack without the window unit 51A being attached so that the 51A is not damaged, even if the window unit 51A is attached to the opening / closing frame 50 for the firing test, Since it is necessary to remove immediately after the test, and it takes time to attach and detach the window unit 51A and to carry it, the efficiency of the assembly inspection step (S5) is deteriorated.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the inspection position corresponding to the opening inspection corresponds to the opening 50A of the opening / closing frame 50 so that the inspection can be performed without attaching or removing the window unit 51A. The test transparent plate 300, which is a transparent member having an outer shape in which the upper part is rounded and the lower corner is rounded and can be inserted into the opening 50A, is attached to the tip of the movable arm. The test transparent plate 300 is used in place of the window unit 51A to perform a firing test.

  The test transparent plate 300 of this embodiment used for the firing inspection may be any one that can confirm the state of the game ball that has been fired when the test transparent plate 300 is disposed in the opening 50A of the opening / closing frame 50. . In addition, since it is preferable that these confirmations can be confirmed directly by visual observation, they should have good transparency and have an appropriate mechanical strength. An acrylic resin plate of about 10 mm is used. However, it is not limited to an acrylic resin plate, and may be a resin plate having other transparency such as a polycarbonate resin plate or a polyethylene terephthalate resin plate, and the plate thickness is appropriately determined depending on the type of resin used. You can decide on Further, instead of a transparent resin plate, for example, a net-like one that allows a game ball to be visually recognized from a gap may be used. In addition, the test transparent plate 300 is not limited to the transparent one, but may be semitransparent, or the whole is not transparent, and a part, for example, only a portion through which the game ball passes is transparent. The part may be translucent or opaque. In other words, the status confirmation of the launched game ball may be, for example, as long as it is possible to confirm whether the game area in which the launched game ball flows down is the right area or the left area. By using a completely opaque material for the upper part and a transparent material for the lower part, in the transparent lower part, it can be confirmed whether the launched game ball flows down the right area or the left area It may be

  As shown in FIG. 8, a hole 310 having a diameter smaller than R1 = 11.0 mm, which is the diameter of the gaming ball, for example, a hole 310 of R2 = 10.0 mm is provided in a portion excluding the outer peripheral portion of the test transparent plate 300. It is formed in a matrix form at equal intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions, and by forming these many holes 310, the test transparent plate 300 is reduced in weight, and the test transparent plate 300 is placed in the window portion 51. Even when the window 51 is closed by the test transparent plate 300 when entering from the air, air can flow out from the hole 310, so the test transparent plate 300 is easily moved at the time of inspection ) To be able to

  As described above, in this embodiment, the embodiment of reducing the weight of the test transparent plate 300 by forming the plurality of holes 310 in a matrix is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The number of holes 310 may be small or not. Further, the shape of the slit is not the circular hole 310 but, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, the slit width may be smaller than R1 = 11.0 mm which is the diameter of the game ball, or the hole 310 and the slit 320 may be combined.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the test transparent plate 300 has an aluminum handle 301 that can be gripped by an inspector and a substantially square shape for attaching the test transparent plate 300 to the movable arm 400. The visibility of the upper portion of the test transparent plate 300 corresponding to the upper area of the game area 10 corresponding to the upper portion of the game ball 10 is not reduced by the handle 301 or the mounting base 302. In this way, the test transparent plate 300 is provided side by side in the left-right direction at a position slightly below the center position in the vertical direction.

  In this embodiment, the holes 310 and the slits 320 are also provided around the grips 301 and the mounting base 302 to reduce the weight. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the grips 301 are not limited thereto. Alternatively, the hole 310 or the slit 320 may not be provided around the mounting base 302 in order to prevent a decrease in the mechanical strength of the test transparent plate 300.

  In addition, if these holes 310 and slits 320 are provided at positions where game balls pass in the launch inspection, it may be difficult to visually recognize the moving game balls, so that the game balls pass in the launch inspection. For example, it is provided in a region other than the upper end portion of the test transparent plate 300, in particular, in an area inside the center decoration frame 52 or the like.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a form in which the handle 301 is fixedly provided on the test transparent plate 300 is illustrated, but instead of the handle 301 that is fixedly provided, for example, a hole 310, a slit 320, or the like. The test transparent plate 300 may be moved by a handle part that can be easily removed.

  In the movable arm 400, the lower ends of the arms connected by a plurality of joints are fixed to a movable arm base 401 fixedly installed at the inspection position, and the relative movement of the joints causes the test transparent plate 300 to be moved. Can be moved horizontally in the front-rear direction. Further, the test transparent plate 300 can be moved vertically by having a cylinder portion 410 standing vertically in a part of the arm and a movable piston shaft 411 inserted through the cylinder portion 410. The test transparent plate 300 can be moved and disposed at an arbitrary position within a predetermined movable range by combining the horizontal movement and the vertical movement.

  Note that a spring 412 is housed inside the cylinder portion 410, and when the movable piston shaft 411 is moved downward, the movable piston shaft 411 is urged by the spring 412 contracted by the downward movement. As a result, the movable piston shaft 411 returns to the original position.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the cylinder portion 410 and the movable piston shaft 411 are provided on a part of the arm so that the test transparent plate 300 can be vertically moved. For example, the mounting base 302 has a slide mechanism capable of sliding the test transparent plate 300 in the vertical direction, and is biased upward by a spring or the like. The movable arm 400 may be configured to be able to move the test transparent plate 300 only in the horizontal direction so that the test transparent plate 300 can be moved vertically.

  As described above, the test transparent plate 300 movably provided at the inspection position of the transport path H is made to enter through the window 51 (opening 50A) as shown in FIG. It is arranged to cover 10.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10A, first, the handle 301 is gripped to align the test transparent plate 300 with the window 51 (opening 50A). Then, the test transparent plate 300 is tilted so that the upper end of the test transparent plate 300 is slightly ahead of the lower end, and the lower end of the test transparent plate 300 is placed from the window 51 to the inside of the opening 50A. Enter

  Then, while the test transparent plate 300 is returned to the vertical state, the upper end of the test transparent plate 300 is made to enter from the opening 50A to the inside of the opening 50A, and the test It advances (moves) until it comes into contact with the tip (front end) of the part 52 ′. At this time, the height dimension of the wall portion 52 ′ of the center decorative frame 52 is larger than the height dimension of the obstacle nail (game nail) driven into the game area 10 as described above. The transparent plate 300 is prevented from coming into contact with the obstacle nail (game nail) and being scratched, and the height dimension of the obstacle nail (game nail) is larger than the diameter of the game ball, so it is transparent for testing. In a state where the plate 300 is in contact with the front end (front end) of the wall 52 ′, the game ball can flow (pass) through the game area 10. Further, in a state where the test transparent plate 300 is in contact with the wall portion 52 ′ of the center decorative frame 52, the movable plate of the variable winning ball device 6B that forms the second start winning opening is opened, or a special variable prize is awarded. Even when the big prize opening door of the ball device 7 is opened, the opened movable plate or the big prize opening door and the test transparent plate 300 are not in contact with each other. That is, the wall portion 52 ′ of the center decorative frame 52 constituting the receiving portion is configured such that the movable plate of the variable winning ball device 6 </ b> B or the special winning ball device 7 does not come into contact with the test transparent plate 300. The test transparent plate 300 is received.

  Thereafter, the test transparent plate 300 is moved obliquely upward to the left until the upper end of the transparent plate 300 comes into contact with the opening 50A, and the test transparent plate 300 is moved to a position outside the guide rail 2b that forms the outer periphery of the upper portion of the game area 10. , The upper area of the game area 10, which is the entry area of the game ball launched from the ball striking device, into the game area 10 is covered with the test transparent plate 300. Therefore, the opening 50A also corresponds to a receiving portion for arranging the test transparent plate 300 at a predetermined position. As described above, the receiving portion of the present invention includes not only the wall portion 52 ′ of the center decorative frame 52 but also the opening portion 50A, but the coefficient of friction with respect to the test transparent plate 300 is set to the wall portion of the center decorative frame 52. You may make it differ by 52 'and the opening part 50A. Specifically, in order to facilitate the leftward upward movement, the coefficient of friction with respect to the test transparent plate 300 is reduced for the wall 52 ′ of the center decorative frame 52, and the test is performed for the opening 50A. The friction coefficient with respect to the transparent plate 300 may be increased, that is, the friction coefficient of the opening 50A may be larger than the wall 52 'of the center decoration frame 52. In addition, in the above-mentioned movement to the left diagonally upward, as described above, since the test transparent plate 300 is urged upward by the spring 412 inside the cylinder part 410, it easily moves diagonally upward to the left. It can be done.

  Then, in this state, as shown in FIG. 11C, the bat operating handle 30 is set to have a relatively weak firing strength that allows the game ball to flow down the gaming area 10 on the left side of the center decoration frame 52. A left-hand hitting operation is performed to fire a predetermined number of game balls, and the hitting operation handle is set so as to have a relatively strong launch strength that allows the game balls to flow down the game area 10 on the right side of the center decorative frame 52. 30 is operated to execute a right-handed shot to fire a predetermined number of game balls, and it is tested whether or not the left-handed and right-handed can be appropriately performed.

  If left-handed and right-handed are not properly performed, the cause is confirmed, and if the cause can be solved, the problem is solved and the fire inspection is performed again. If the cause is a solvable defect, it is taken out from the conveyance path H as a defect.

  After testing whether the left and right strikes can be appropriately performed, as shown in FIG. 11D, the test transparent plate 300 is extracted. This extraction may be performed in the reverse flow of the arrangement of the test transparent plate 300 described above. That is, after the test transparent plate 300 is moved vertically and diagonally downward to the right, the upper end of the test transparent plate 300 is moved forward to be positioned outside the opening 50A, and then the lower end of the test transparent plate 300 is moved to the lower side. It is moved to the front position slightly diagonally upward so as to be located outside the opening 50A and extracted outside the window 51, and the firing inspection is finished.

  As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, by using the test transparent plate 300, it is possible to actually launch a game ball and perform a launch test without attaching / detaching the window unit 51A to / from the opening / closing frame 50. Therefore, the inspection efficiency of the launch inspection can be improved.

  Further, according to the above-described embodiment, the test transparent plate 300 has a shape corresponding to the window 51 (opening 50A) in which the window unit 51A is provided, so that almost the entire game area 10 is obtained. Since the window 51 (opening 50A) can be substantially closed, the game medium can be prevented from flowing out of the window 51 (opening 50A) in the inspection.

  In the above embodiment, the shape of the test transparent plate 300 is substantially the same as the shape of the opening 50A, and the shape that allows the test transparent plate 300 to enter the game area 10 from the opening 50A. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a shape capable of covering only a part of the game area 10, particularly, the upper area of the game area 10, or It may be a shape capable of covering only the left area of the game area 10 or only the right area of the game area 10, and the test transparent plate 300 may cover at least a part of the game area 10 It is sufficient that the shape can be

  Further, according to the above-described embodiment, the test transparent plate 300 has a plurality of holes 310 having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the game ball, so that the game ball passes through the hole 310 and hinders the inspection. Since the weight of the test transparent plate 300 can be reduced while preventing the end of the test transparent plate 300, the movement (entry) of the test transparent plate 300 in inspection can be facilitated. In particular, when the test transparent plate 300 has a shape corresponding to the openings 50A, the air inside the opening / closing frame 50 flows out from the holes 310 at the time of entry, so these test transparent by the air. It is also possible to prevent the movement (entrance) of the plate 300 from becoming difficult.

  Further, according to the above-described embodiment, the test transparent plate 300 has the handle 301 which can be grasped by the examiner, and the upper area of the game area 10 which is the entry portion where the shot game ball enters the game area 10 Are provided side by side with the mounting base 302 in areas below the different game areas 10, so that it is difficult for the inspector to easily handle the test transparent plate 300 and to visually recognize the game balls launched by the handle 301. Can also be prevented.

  Further, according to the above-described embodiment, the wall portion 52 ′ of the center decorative frame 52 serving as the receiving portion of the present invention is larger than the height dimension of the obstacle nail (game nail) drilled in the board surface of the game board 2. As it has a large height dimension, it is possible to receive the test transparent plate 300 so that the test transparent plate 300 and the game nail do not contact, so that the obstacle nail (game nail) is deformed in the inspection. You can prevent it from happening.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. Be

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 provided with the game board 2 that does not have the effector that is the accessory or the movable effector that is the movable accessory is illustrated, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1 ′ shown in FIG. 12A may be provided with a game board 2 ′ having an accessory (production body) G protruding forward from the board surface. In this case, when the test transparent plate 300 of the embodiment described above is used for the firing test, when the test transparent plate 300 is placed, the test transparent plate 300 is an accessory ( Game body that has been fired due to contact with G (director) G, or damage to the actor (director) G, or damage to the test transparent plate 300, and the transparency of the test transparent plate 300 decreases. In order to prevent these problems, the actors (directors) The test transparent plate 300 'is made to be a center decoration by forming a test transparent plate 300' having a shape capable of covering the feature (effector) G by a portion corresponding to G bulging forward. Even if the test transparent plate 300 ′ is placed in contact with the wall 52 ′ of the frame 52, the test transparent plate 300 ′ may not be in contact with the character (effect body) G.

  Moreover, in the modification shown to FIG. 12 (A), the test made into the shape which can cover the character (effect body) G by the part corresponding to the character (effect body) G swelling forward. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 12 (B), the portion corresponding to these actors (directions) G is an opening without a transparent plate. It is good also as the test transparent board 300 "made into the space.

  In the case of having a feature (effector) G projecting forward of the board as in these game boards 2 ′, the bulging portion or opening is provided unless the test transparent board 300 ′ is disposed at an appropriate position. Since the feature (production body) G is not positioned in the space, the role (production body) G comes into contact with the test transparent plate 300 ′. A guide for guiding 300 ′ to an appropriate position, for example, a plurality of protrusions that can be fitted into a predetermined hole 310 of the test transparent plate 300 ′ is formed at different positions of the center decorative frame 52. The test transparent plate 300 'can be guided to an appropriate position where the character (effector) G does not contact the test transparent plate 300' by fitting the convex portion to the predetermined hole 310. Good. In other words, the center decorative frame 52 serving as a receiving portion only needs to be able to receive the test transparent plate 300 ′ so that the test transparent plate 300 ′ and the accessory (production body) G do not come into contact with each other. The guides such as the convex portions are provided even on the game board 2 that does not have the accessory G (projecting body) G protruding forward of the board surface, so that the test transparent plate 300 is arranged at an appropriate position for the test. You may be able to confirm whether it has been done.

  Further, in the case where the accessory (directing body) G is a movable accessory, the test transparent plate 300 ′ or the test transparent plate 300 ″ can be used even when the movable accessory is movable in the operation check. The shape of the movable member is not in contact with each other, and the receiving portion that comes into contact with the test transparent plate 300 ′ or the test transparent plate 300 ″ is the movable member of the test transparent plate 300 ′ or the test transparent plate 300 ″. The test transparent plate 300 ′ and the test transparent plate 300 ″ may be received at an appropriate position not in contact with an object.

  Further, the variable winning ball device 6B movable in the game board 2 and the special variable winning ball device 7 also have the test transparent plate 300 'and the test transparent plate 300, which are formed as the bulging portion and the opening space, like the movable combination. It may be

  Further, in the above embodiment, since the outer shape of the test transparent plate 300 has a shape substantially corresponding to the shape of the opening 50A, the test transparent plate 300 is once made to enter the inside of the opening / closing frame 50 to make a center decoration frame. In the state of being in contact with the wall 52 'of the panel 52, it is illustrated that it is slid obliquely upward to the left, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as described above, the test transparent plate 300 When the shape is a shape that can cover only the upper region that is a part of the game region 10, the test transparent plate may be arranged (pushed) without sliding. In this case, the test transparent plate can be appropriately disposed by providing the above-described guide such as the convex portion on the center decoration frame 52 so that the test transparent plate can be easily disposed at the correct position. In addition, it is only necessary to prevent the test transparent plate from being displaced from an appropriate position during the test. Also, instead of providing a guide such as a convex portion on the center decoration frame 52, the end of the wall 52 'is coated with an elastic paint, or by lining an elastic member (buffer material), etc. By forming an elastic film having a large friction coefficient at the tip of the test plate, the test transparent plate is prevented from being displaced, and when the test transparent plate is pressed against the tip of the wall portion 52 ′, the test transparent plate is mistaken. The plate may be prevented from being damaged.

  In this way, in the case where the elastic member layer (elastic layer) is provided at the tip of the wall 52 ′, for example, the shape of the tip of the wall 52 ′ is protruded from both sides and the central portion. The transparent plate for testing is pressed lightly by reducing the area where the elastic member is formed by providing an elastic member layer (elastic layer) only on the protruding side edges. The test transparent plate can be moved to the upper left without being scratched, and the test transparent plate is strongly pressed after the movement, so that the sucker effect due to the air in the groove overflows. May be adsorbed and fixed to the wall 52 '.

  In addition, by using a resin with higher flexibility and flexibility (lower resin hardness) than the transparent material used for the test transparent plate, the test transparent plate is damaged at the receiver. It may be possible to prevent the attachment.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 including the window unit 51A having a form projecting forward, which is easily damaged when transported while attached to the gaming machine frame 3, has been exemplified, but the present invention It is not limited, and it may be a pachinko gaming machine having an opening / closing frame in which a general glass plate is detachable instead of the window unit 51A.

  Further, in the embodiment, a game in which the receiving portion for receiving the test transparent plate 300 is in contact with the center decorative frame 52 (wall portion 52 ′) provided on the game board 2 and the tip comes into contact with the upper left corner. The form of the opening 50A of the machine frame 3 is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these receiving parts are provided only in the game board 2 or only in the game machine frame 3. May be

  Further, in the above embodiment, although the embodiment in which the center decoration frame 52 (wall 52 ') and the opening 50A are used as the receiving part is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and these receiving parts As a dedicated part only for receiving the test transparent plate 300, the structure portion to be the above may be individually provided in the game board 2 or the game machine frame 3.

  Further, in the embodiment, although the embodiment in which the receiving portion is the center decoration frame 52 (wall portion 52 ') is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, these receiving portions may be windows It may be a groove for inserting the partial unit 51A, a glass plate or the like, or the guide rail 2b or the firing rail 2a.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the opening part 50A of the opening-and-closing frame 50 was illustrated as the receiving part by the side of the frame 3 for game machines, this invention is not limited to this, These game machines The receiving portion on the side of the frame 3 may be a portion different from the opening 50A, for example, an outer wall member that forms an outer wall that divides the gaming area, or a ball receiving member that regulates the jumping out of the ball from the gaming area. In such a case, the friction coefficient of the outer wall member and the ball receiving member may be larger than the friction coefficient of the center decorative frame 52 (wall portion 52 ′), like the opening 50A.

  Further, in the embodiment, the inspector urges the test transparent plate 300 upward by the handle 301 and contacts the opening 50 </ b> A of the opening / closing frame 50, thereby fixing the test transparent plate 300.
