  FIG. 5 shows the movement of the game ball that has entered the game area R1 from the entrance 12K. As indicated by a gray line in FIG. 5, when the momentum of the game ball entering the game area R1 is strong, the game ball is guided by the arcuate guide portion 12E of the guide rail 12 and enters the upper flow path 25R. . The game ball that has passed through the upper flow path 25R flows down the area on the right side of the display decoration frame 23 in the game area R1. The game ball that cannot play through the upper flow path 25R due to the weak momentum of the game ball returns to the left along the upper flow path constituting wall 25 of the display decorative frame 23.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the game ball returning to the left side from the upper flow path 25R flows down the nail-free region R2. As indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, when the game ball returning from the upper flow path 25 has a strong momentum, the game ball jumps over the vertical flow path 43 and the first resin protrusion 41 and protrudes. The inter-part flow path 45 flows down. Even when the game ball jumps over only the longitudinal flow path 43 without jumping over the first resin protrusion 41, the game ball is received by the first arc surface 41E1 of the first resin protrusion 41 and is thus received by the first arc surface 41E1. Rolls up to the left, and flows down the channel 45 between the protrusions. As indicated by a one-dot chain line in the figure, when the momentum of the game ball returning from the upper flow path 25R is weak, the game ball flows down the vertical flow path 43 without jumping over the vertical flow path 43.

  If the momentum of the game ball entering the game area R1 is weak, the game ball does not reach the upper flow path 25R and flows down the nailless area R2. As shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 5, when the game ball collides with the vertical wall 31 of the display decorative frame 23, the game ball is bounced back to the vertical wall 31 and flows down the vertical flow path 43. The game ball that has flowed down the vertical flow path 43 is received by the horizontal wall 32 and then flows down the first horizontal flow path 44 and the second horizontal flow path 46 while rolling leftward on the horizontal wall 32.

  As shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 5, when the game ball collides with the upper part of the first resin protrusion 41, the game ball is inclined rightward by the first arc surface 41 E 1 of the first resin protrusion 41. It is bounced up. Thus, the 1st circular arc surface 41E1 of the 1st resin protrusion 41 rebounds a game ball to the side away from the entrance 12K.

  As shown by a broken line in FIG. 5, when the game ball collides with a portion near the lower end of the first resin protrusion 41, the game ball is lowered by the second arc surface 41 </ b> E <b> 2 of the first resin protrusion 41. Bounces down and flows down the channel 45 between the protrusions. The game ball that has flowed down the channel 45 between the protrusions is received by the horizontal wall 32 and then flows down the second horizontal channel 46 while rolling leftward on the horizontal wall 32.

  In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the following excellent effects can be achieved. That is, the gaming machine 10 includes the first resin protrusion 41 and the second resin protrusion 42 as resin bodies that randomly change the movement of the game ball in place of the obstacle nail 17 in the nail-free region R2, and the first resin The protrusion 41 is formed longer than the second resin protrusion 42. Thereby, it becomes possible to change the impression of appearance between the 1st resin protrusion 41 and the 2nd resin protrusion 42, and the improvement of the interest of a resin body is aimed at. Moreover, since the second resin protrusion 42 is formed in a shape having an aspect ratio of approximately 1, and is disposed on the side of the first resin protrusion 41, the first resin protrusion 41 and the second resin protrusion 42 are provided. It becomes possible to make the difference in the shape of the conspicuous.

  Further, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the first resin protrusion 41 is disposed farther from the entrance 12K than the second resin protrusion 42, so that the entry of the game ball from the entrance 12K is the first resin. The hindrance by the protrusion 41 is suppressed. Moreover, since the second resin protrusion 42 is disposed opposite to the ball return restriction member 50, the game ball bounced back to the first resin protrusion 41 is suppressed from colliding with the ball return restriction member 50. Further, since the first arc surface 41E1 is provided on the upper portion of the first resin protrusion 41, it is possible to make it difficult for the game ball to rebound to the entrance 12K side. Further, since the second resin protrusion 42 is disposed below the first arc surface 41E1, it becomes easy for the game ball that has entered from the entrance 12K to collide with the first resin protrusion 41, and as a result, the game The ball is easily de-energized.

  In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the second arc surface 41E2 formed in the portion of the first resin protrusion 41 that faces the second resin protrusion 42 is a circle centered on the second resin protrusion 42. Since it has an arc shape, the interval between the first resin protrusion 41 and the second resin protrusion 42 (see the interval L3 in FIG. 4) is widened, and the game ball flowing down the inter-projection flow path 45 Ball clogging is suppressed. In addition, since the second arc surface 41E2 is connected to the first arc surface 41E1 to form the S-shaped curved surface portion 41S, the first resin protrusion 41 is shown integrally with the first arc surface 41E1 and the second arc surface 41E2. It becomes possible to give a fresh taste to the shape.

  In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the first resin protrusion 41 is disposed closer to the vertical wall 31 of the display decorative frame 23 than the second resin protrusion 42. It becomes possible to make the game ball flow down to the vertical flow path 43 between the display decoration frame 23. Here, since the width of the vertical flow path 43 is 1 to 1.5 game balls, the game ball flowing down the vertical flow path 43 is collided with the vertical wall 31 or the first resin protrusion 41. It becomes easy to be de-energized.

  In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the nail-free region R2 is disposed on the left side of the portion of the display opening 11H that houses the decorative member 70. In the present embodiment, the nailless region R2 includes only the first resin protrusion 41 and the second resin protrusion 42, and the second resin protrusion 42 has a substantially square shape when viewed from the front, and the first resin protrusion 41 is longer than the second resin protrusion 42. Therefore, in the gaming machine 10, even when the nail-free region R2 is formed narrow, the movement of the game ball can be changed randomly by the first resin protrusion 41 and the second resin protrusion 42. As a result, the width of the decorative member 70 can be increased.

  Hereinafter, the characteristics of the invention group extracted from the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described while showing effects and the like as necessary.
