Those having a light emitting means capable of irradiating light in a direction or a left-right direction ”, and the like.

Further, as the "front member", "a member (for example, a center accessory, an attacker unit, etc.) attached to a game panel in which a game area in which a game is played is provided in front", and "a game area in which a game is played" are used. Is provided in front of the game panel, "a member attached to the rear side of the game panel in which the game area is provided in front (for example, a rear cell)", and "the game area in which the game is played is in front. Examples thereof include a member provided on the back unit attached to the rear side of the game panel provided (for example, an effect unit), a member movable according to the progress of the game, and the like.

According to the configuration of the means 1, the game machine is provided with an effect display means capable of displaying an effect image according to the progress of the game, and a front surface provided in front of the effect display means and having a rear decoration facing rearward. It is provided with a member. (Refer to the chapter [5-10d. Back front left effect unit] and the description of FIGS. 182 to 184, 197, etc. in [Mode for carrying out the invention]).

According to this configuration, since the rear surface of the front member provided in front of the effect display means is provided with the rear decoration facing the rear, the rear decoration cannot be seen from the player side through the front member. Since the effect display means is provided behind the front member, the display screen of the effect display means can reflect the decoration of the rear decoration provided on the rear surface of the front member forward. That is, the rear decoration of the front member can be reflected on the display screen of the effect display means. However, since the display screen is bright when the effect display means is displaying the effect image, the reflection of the rear decoration is canceled by the brightness, and the post-decoration reflected on the display screen cannot be seen. Almost none. In this state, if the display screen of the effect display means is intentionally darkened (for example, blacked out), the reflection of the rear decoration becomes relatively bright with respect to the display screen, so that the rear decoration appears on the display screen. You will be able to see it. That is, when the display screen is darkened in the effect display means, the rear decoration provided on the rear surface of the front member is reflected on the display screen, so that it is reflected on the display screen as compared with the effect image displayed on the display screen. The decoration will be faintly visible. As a result, during the execution of the effect using the effect image by the effect display means, the decoration of the rear decoration on the rear surface of the front member appears to be reflected on the display screen by dimming or intentionally darkening the display screen. Since the production can be shown to the player, it is possible to give a strong impact to the player by the production that has never been seen in the game machine so far, and it is possible to strongly attract the interest of the player. It is possible to make people think that there is something good, raise expectations for the game, and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, as described above, when the display screen of the effect display means is darkened, the rear decoration of the front member reflected on the display screen is faintly visible. Therefore, for example, if the time for darkening the display screen is shortened, the player is asked. It is possible to make it difficult to notice that the rear decoration is reflected on the display screen. In other words, depending on the player, the decoration can be noticed after being reflected on the display screen. As a result, the player can make the player grin or be surprised by noticing that the rear decoration is reflected on the display screen, and make the player feel like he has gained and entertain the player. Can be done.

Further, as described above, when the display screen of the effect display means is darkened, the rear decoration provided on the rear surface of the front member is reflected on the display screen so that the decoration of the rear decoration can be seen from the front of the game machine. Therefore, depending on the positional relationship between the effect display means and the front member (rear decoration), it is difficult for the player sitting in front of the main game machine to see the post-decoration, and the front of the adjacent game machine. It is possible to make the decoration easier to see after the reflection from the player sitting in the game or the player near the main game machine. As a result, the game machine can be appealed to other players, a game machine having a high appeal to the player can be provided, and the game machine can be easily selected as the game machine to be played. It is possible to entertain the game with this game machine and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Characters with different facial expressions are not reflected on the display screen. Then, when the display screen is darkened by blackout or the like, a character with a rear decoration having a facial expression different from that of the front decoration appears to be reflected on the display screen so as to be adjacent to the front member. It is possible to present the player with an effect that makes the character's face visible, and to entertain the player with the gap in the facial expression of the character. If this effect is executed before, for example, a player such as a jackpot game has an advantageous advantageous gaming state, the effect strongly makes the player think that the advantageous gaming state does not occur. It is possible to surprise the player and enhance the interest by becoming an advantageous gaming state (“big hit”) after that.

Further, since the front member is provided behind the game panel, it is possible to prevent light from entering the display screen (front surface) of the effect display means from between the front member and the effect display means. When the display screen of the means is darkened, the front surface of the effect display means can be sufficiently darkened, the rear decoration of the front member can be easily reflected, and the rear decoration after the reflection can be easily seen from the player side. It is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of reliably producing the above-mentioned effects.

Further, as described above, when the display screen of the effect display means is darkened, the rear decoration of the front member reflected on the display screen is faintly visible. Therefore, for example, if the time for darkening the display screen is shortened, the player is asked. It is possible to make it difficult to notice that the rear decoration is reflected on the display screen. In other words, depending on the player, the decoration can be noticed after being reflected on the display screen. As a result, the player can make the player grin or be surprised by noticing that the rear decoration is reflected on the display screen, and make the player feel like he has gained and entertain the player. Can be done.

Further, as described above, when the display screen of the effect display means is darkened, the rear decoration provided on the rear surface of the front member is reflected on the display screen so that the decoration of the rear decoration can be seen from the front of the game machine. Therefore, depending on the positional relationship between the effect display means and the front member (rear decoration), it is difficult for the player sitting in front of the main game machine to see the post-decoration, and the front of the adjacent game machine. It is possible to make the decoration easier to see after the reflection from the player sitting in the game or the player near the main game machine.

The port member 47 has two cylinders formed with a predetermined inner diameter and a predetermined length, and resonates and amplifies the bass emitted from the main body frame speaker 622 to the rear (inside the enclosure 624) by the principle of Helmholtz resonance. Therefore, rich bass can be radiated to the front (player side) of the outer frame 2. That is, in the present embodiment, the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 is a bass reflex type, and the player can hear the deep bass.

When the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the seal member 48 is sandwiched between the upper end of the connection cylinder portion 43a and the lower end of the connection portion 621c of the speaker cover 621 in the main body frame 4 and compressed. This is to prevent the sound in the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 from leaking from between the connection cylinder portion 43a and the connection portion 621c.

According to the grill member 46 of the present embodiment, the air vibration emitted from the curtain plate internal space 40a to the outside by the main body frame speaker 622 is slanted upward and forward by the plurality of inclined blade portions 46b. It can be directed into the front cylinder portion 291a of the handle cover base 291 in which the handle unit 180 is housed through the notch opening 295b on the lower side of the handle cover 295. As a result, when the player thrusts his / her finger into the inside of the handle cover 295 (the front cylinder portion 291a of the handle cover base 291) and rotates the handle 195 (the driving device of the game ball B), the main body frame. By vibrating the speaker 622 and sending wind into the front cylinder portion 291a, the player can be surprised and an unprecedented effect can be performed.

Further, since the port member 47 is opened forward, a part of the sound pressure emitted from the port member 47 through the plurality of blade portions 46b of the grill member 46 is discharged forward. Therefore, it is also released from the port member 47 to the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1 and other players wandering in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. The pachinko machine 1 can be heard, and the player's attention can be attracted by the directing sound, and the pachinko machine 1 having a high appeal to the player can be provided.

Further, since the port member 47 is provided in the outer frame lower assembly 40 of the outer frame 2 with respect to the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 provided in the main body frame 4, the volume of the enclosure 624 is increased. Therefore, it is possible to output a deeper bass effect sound, entertain the player, and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

It is provided with a strip-shaped second arm 137 that is rotatably attached at a portion below the center and rotatably attached at a portion below the center of rotation of the second cam member 135 on the lower end side. ing.

Further, the cylinder lock 130 has a cylinder mounting frame so as to cover the cylinder body 131, the first cam member 134, the first arm 136, and the second arm 137 from the rear except for the second cam member 135 (rotation transmission member 133). The rear cover 138 attached to the 115 and the upper and lower ends of the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are rotatably attached to the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, respectively. It has 139 and.

In the first cam member 134, the upper end side of the first arm 136 is attached to the rear surface side, and the upper end side of the second arm 137 is attached to the front surface side. The second cam member 135 is rotatably attached from the rear side by the cylinder mounting frame 115, and the rotation transmission member 133 is integrally rotatably attached to the rear side sandwiching the front surface of the cylinder mounting frame 115. The lower end side of the first arm 136 is attached to the front side of the second cam member 135, and the lower end side of the second arm 137 is attached to the front side in front of the first arm 136.

In the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, the portion to which the first arm 136 is attached and the portion to which the second arm 137 is attached are separated from each other at an angle of 90 degrees about their respective rotation axes. doing. Further, each of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 is provided at a position where the first arm 136 is attached at a position farther from the rotation center than the portion where the second arm 137 is attached. ..

The rear cover 138 has a screw whose upper end side is not shown in a state where the shaft portion 138a projecting outward from the lower ends of both left and right side surfaces in a columnar shape is locked in the L-shaped locking slit 115b of the cylinder mounting frame 115. Therefore, it is detachably attached to the cylinder attachment frame 115.

In this cylinder lock 130, the cylinder mounting frame 115, the cylinder body 131, the rotation transmission member 133, the first cam member 134, the second cam member 135, the first arm 136, and the second arm 137 are made of metal. ..

When the cylinder lock 130 is assembled to the door frame 3, the front end of the cylinder body 131 substantially coincides with the front end of the cylinder insertion port 440b of the door frame right side unit 430.

Here, the conventional cylinder lock 130A will be described. In the conventional cylinder lock 130A, as shown in FIGS. 34 (c) and 34 (d), the cylinder body 131 penetrates the front piece of the cylinder mounting frame 115A from the rear and the rear end is mounted on the front piece. There is. The cylinder lock 130A is provided with a rotation transmission member 133 on the axis of the cylinder body 131.

Subsequently, the operation of the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 34 (c) and 34 (d), the conventional cylinder lock 130 is provided with the rotation transmission member 133 on the axis of the cylinder body 131, whereas the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment is provided. As shown in FIGS. 34 (a) and 34 (b), the rotation transmission member 133 is provided at a position separated downward from the axis of the cylinder body 131.

In a normal state, as shown in FIG. 36A, the upper and lower ends of the first arm 136 of the cylinder lock 130 are centered on rotation of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, respectively. The upper and lower ends of the second arm 137 are attached to the right portion, and the upper and lower ends of the second arm 137 are attached to the portions below the respective rotation centers of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, respectively. The cylinder body 131 can be rotated at an angle of 90 degrees from the normal state in the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction by using a regular key.

In this state, when the first cam member 134 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction via the cylinder of the cylinder body 131 by the key inserted into the keyhole 132, the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 move upward. It will be. At this time, since the upper end side of the first arm 136 is attached to the right side of the rotation center of the first cam member 134, the first arm 136 will rotate the second cam member 135 in the counterclockwise direction. On the other hand, in the second arm 137, the upper end side is attached below the rotation center of the first cam member 134, so that the second cam member 135 is counterclockwise from the second arm 137. There is almost no force to rotate it in the clockwise direction.

In this way, when the first cam member 134 rotates in the counterclockwise direction from the normal state, the force is mainly transmitted via the first arm 136, and the second cam member 135 rotates counterclockwise. It rotates in the direction, and the rotation transmission member 133 rotates together with the second cam member 135. The force acting upward by rotating the first cam member 134 in the counterclockwise direction is the portion where the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are attached to the first cam member 134 and the first cam member. It is proportional to the distance in the left-right direction from the center of rotation of 134. Therefore, as the first cam member 134 rotates in the counterclockwise direction from the normal state, the force acting upward on the first arm 136 becomes smaller, whereas the force acting upward on the second arm 137 acts upward. The power to do becomes greater.

Therefore, when the rotation angle of the first cam member 134 in the counterclockwise direction exceeds 45 degrees from the normal state, the force acting upward on the second arm 137 becomes larger than that on the first arm 136. The second cam member 135 rotates in the counterclockwise direction mainly via the second arm 137. Then, the key inserted into the keyhole 132 can be rotated from the normal state to an angle of 90 degrees in the counterclockwise direction (see FIG. 36 (b)).

When the key is used to rotate the key 90 degrees counterclockwise from the normal state to 90 degrees clockwise to return to the normal state, the action opposite to the above is applied. It will work.

On the other hand, when the first cam member 134 is rotated in the clockwise direction via the cylinder of the cylinder body 131 by the key inserted into the keyhole 132 from the normal state, the upper end side is to the right of the rotation center of the first cam member 134. The first arm 136 attached to the side moves downward, and the second arm 137 attached to the upper end side below the rotation center of the first cam member 134 moves upward. At this time, since the upper end side of the first arm 136 is attached to the right side of the rotation center of the first cam member 134, the first arm 136 attempts to rotate the second cam member 135 in the clockwise direction. In contrast to the large force acting on the second arm 137, since the upper end side of the second arm 137 is attached below the center of rotation of the first cam member 134, the second cam member 135 is rotated clockwise from the second arm 137. There is almost no force to rotate in the direction of.

In this way, when the first cam member 134 rotates in the clockwise direction from the normal state, the force is transmitted mainly through the first arm 136, and the second cam member 135 moves in the clockwise direction. It rotates, and the rotation transmission member 133 rotates together with the second cam member 135. The force that transmits the rotation of the first cam member 134 by the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 to the second cam member 135 is the portion where the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are attached to the first cam member 134. And the distance in the left-right direction between the rotation center of the first cam member 134. Therefore, as the first cam member 134 rotates in the clockwise direction from the normal state, the force for rotating the second cam member 135 in the first arm 136 becomes smaller, whereas the force for rotating the second cam member 135 becomes smaller. In the arm 137, the force for rotating the second cam member 135 becomes large.

Therefore, when the rotation angle of the first cam member 134 in the clockwise direction from the normal state exceeds 45 degrees, the second arm 137 will rotate the second cam member 135 more than the first arm 136. The force is increased, and the second cam member 135 rotates in the clockwise direction mainly via the second arm 137. Then, the key inserted into the keyhole 132 can be rotated from the normal state to an angle of 90 degrees in the clockwise direction (see FIG. 36 (c)).

When the key is used to rotate the key 90 degrees clockwise from the normal state to 90 degrees clockwise to return to the normal state, the operation is the opposite of the above. Will be done.

As described above, according to the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment, the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 attached to the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 so as to be in phase with each other at an angle of 90 degrees. Since the first cam member 134 (the key inserted in the key hole 132) is in any rotation position, at least one of the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 is connected by The second cam member 135 (rotation transmission member 133) can be rotated by transmitting the rotation, and the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4 can be locked and unlocked well.

Further, according to the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment, the rotation is transmitted by the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 as the rotation transmission mechanism, so that the rotation transmission member 133 ( Since the axis of the transmission cylinder 654) of the locking unit 650 in the main body frame 4 can be provided at different positions, the position of the cylinder main body 131 in the door frame 3 can be set to an arbitrary position without changing the locking unit 650. The cylinder body 131 (keyhole 132) can be provided at a portion that does not interfere with the decoration of the door frame 3, and the pachinko machine 1 with high decorativeness of the door frame 3 can be provided.

Further, as described above, even if the position of the cylinder main body 131 is changed in the door frame 3, it is not necessary to change the locking unit 650 in the main body frame 4, so that the locking unit 650 can be diverted, and the pachinko machine 1 It is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of the machine.

By the way, in the conventional cylinder lock 130A, since the rotation transmission member 133 is provided behind the cylinder body 131, a fraudster who knows the configuration inserts a tool from the front to the rear of the cylinder body 131. By illegally rotating the rotation transmission member 133 with the tool, there is a risk of opening the door frame 3 and performing an illegal act. On the other hand, since the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment is provided with the rotation transmission member 133 at a position away from the axis (rear) of the cylinder body 131, a tool is inserted behind the cylinder body 131. Even if an attempt is made to rotate the rotation transmission member 133, the rotation transmission member 133 cannot be rotated because the rotation transmission member 133 does not exist at the relevant portion, and a fraudulent act of opening the door frame 3 or the main body frame 4 or the like. Can be prevented from being done.

Further, in the cylinder lock 130, the second arm 137 connects the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 apart from each other at a rotation angle of 90 degrees with respect to the first arm 136. A straight line in which a portion attached to one of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 of one arm 136 or the second arm 137 connects the center of the first cam member 134 and the center of the second cam member 135. Even if it is located above, the other of the first arm 136 or the second arm 137 connects the parts farthest from the straight line connecting the center of the first cam member 134 and the center of the second cam member 135. It will be in a state of being. Therefore, the rotation from the first cam member 134 is transferred to the second cam member 135 by being positioned at the dead point of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 by either the first arm 136 or the second arm 137. Even if it cannot be transmitted, the rotation from the first cam member 134 can be transmitted to the second cam member 135 by the other of the first arm 136 or the second arm 137, so that the first cam member 134 can be transmitted. There is no great resistance to rotation, the key inserted in the keyhole 132 can be rotated smoothly, unlocking and locking can be done easily, and the key inserted in the keyhole can be forcibly rotated. It is possible to prevent the key from being damaged and prevent the key from being damaged.

Further, since the rotation of the key inserted in the keyhole 132 is transmitted to the rotation transmission member 133 provided at the eccentric position by the two arms of the first arm 136 and the second arm 137, for some reason. Therefore, even if one arm is damaged, the rotation can be transmitted by the other arm, and the pachinko machine 1 having a highly reliable cylinder lock 130 can be provided.

Further, the smooth rod-shaped (strip plate-shaped) first arm 136 and second arm 137 transmit the rotation of the key inserted in the keyhole 132 to the rotation transmission member 133 provided at the eccentric position. Therefore, when the rotation is transmitted by the gear, the gear may be rotated by hooking the tip of the tool on the teeth of the gear, and the rotation transmission member 133 may be rotated. Since the arm 136 and the second arm 137 have a smooth rod shape, the tip of the tool can be made difficult to be caught by the first arm 136 and the second arm 137, and the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are moved. This makes it possible to prevent the rotation transmission member 133 from being rotated, and reliably prevents the locking unit 650 from being illegally operated to unlock the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4. be able to.

In the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment, the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are used as the rotation transmission mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the first cam member 134 to the second cam member 135. , Not limited to this, for example, a rotation transmission mechanism using a plurality of gears, a rotation transmission mechanism using gears and rack gears, a rotation transmission mechanism using sprocket and a chain, a rotation transmission mechanism using a pulley and a belt. , Etc. may be used.

Ball feeding solenoids 145 are arranged on the right side of the feeding member 144, respectively.

The front cover 141 of the ball feeding unit 140 is provided with an arc-shaped slit 141c formed concentrically with respect to the rotation center of the ball pulling member 143 on the left side of the ball pulling port 141b when viewed from the front. From 141c, the operating rod 143c of the ball pulling member 143, which will be described later, extends forward. Further, the front cover 141 extends upward from the upper edge of the entrance 141a, and when the door frame 3 is assembled, the ball feeding guide path 241b of the rear base 241 in the upper plate ball removing unit 240 The portion of the ball-extracting taxiway 241c that is open to the rear on the upstream end side is closed from the rear side.

The ball pulling member 143 has a partition portion 143a and a partition portion 143a whose upper surface is lowered toward the ball feeding member 144 as a partition between the entrance entrance 141a and the ball pulling port 141b below the entrance 141a. Around the axis that extends downward from the end opposite to the ball feeding member 144 and bends in a dogleg shape from the middle of the vertical direction toward the lower center of the ball outlet 141b, and the lower end extends in the front-rear direction. A rotating paddle portion 143b that is rotatably supported, a rod-shaped operating rod 143c that protrudes forward from the upper end of the rotating rod portion 143b, and a rotating rod portion 143b that is below the operating rod 143c. It is provided with a weight portion 143d protruding from the side surface to the side opposite to the partition portion 143a. The working paddle 143c of the ball pulling member 143 is formed so as to project forward through the arcuate slit 141c formed in the front cover 141 (see FIG. 37 (a)). The operation paddle 143c is the upper end of the operation transmission portion 242b of the upper plate ball removal slider 242 that moves downward by the pressing operation of the upper plate ball removal button 222 of the plate unit 200 through the ball feeding opening 101e of the door frame base 101. Contact with the upper surface).

The ball feeding member 144 is after the blocking portion 144a and the blocking portion 144a having a fan-shaped plan view centered on the rotation axis extending in the vertical direction toward the partition portion 143a of the entrance / exit 141a and the ball pulling member 143. It is provided with a ball holding portion 144b recessed in an arc shape from the end toward the center of rotation axis, and a rod-shaped paddle portion 144c extending downward from the rear end of the ball holding portion 144b. The blocking portion 144a and the ball holding portion 144b of the ball feeding member 144 are formed adjacent to each other within an angle range of about 180 ° about the center of rotation axis. Further, the ball holding portion 144b of the ball feeding member 144 has a size capable of holding one game ball B. The ball feeding member 144 rotates around the rotating shaft core by driving the ball feeding solenoid 145 to move the paddle portion 144c arranged at a position eccentric to the rotating shaft core in the left-right direction.

The ball feeding member 144 has a supply position in which the blocking portion 144a faces the direction of the partition portion 143a and at the same time the ball holding portion 144b faces the direction in which the ball holding portion 144b communicates with the hit ball supply port 142a, and the ball holding portion 144b faces the partition portion 143a. It is designed to rotate with and from the holding position facing in the direction. When the ball feeding member 144 is in the supply position, the game ball B held by the ball holding portion 144b is supplied to the ball launching device 540 from the hit ball supply port 142a and enters the partition portion 143a from the entrance 141a. The game ball B is blocked from moving toward the ball holding portion 144b (striking ball supply port 142a) by the blocking portion 144a, and remains on the partition portion 143a. On the other hand, when the ball feeding member 144 rotates to the holding position, the ball holding portion 144b faces the direction of the partition portion 143a, and the end of the ball holding portion 144b on the paddle portion 144c side closes the ball hitting supply port 142a. Therefore, only one game ball B on the partition portion 143a is held in the ball holding portion 144b.

Further, the ball feeding unit 140 has a ball feeding operating rod 146 whose tip swings in the vertical direction by driving (energizing) the ball feeding solenoid 145 and a tip swinging in the vertical direction in the ball feeding operating rod 146. It is provided with a ball feeding crank 147 that rotates around an axis extending in the front-rear direction and rotates a ball feeding member 144 around an axis extending in the vertical direction.

The ball feeding operation paddle 146 is provided with an iron plate 146a at a portion below the ball feeding solenoid 145. The ball feeding operation paddle 146 extends to the left and right, and is attached to the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142 so that the end (right end) opposite to the ball feeding crank 147 can rotate around the axis extending back and forth. Has been done. In the ball feeding operation paddle 146, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven, the iron plate 146a is attracted toward the ball feeding solenoid 145 (upward) by the generated magnetic force, and the ball feeding is centered on the right end portion. The left end side near the crank 147 rotates so as to move upward. After that, when the drive of the ball feeding solenoid 145 is released, the magnetic force disappears and the weight of the iron plate 146a acts, and the left end side close to the ball feeding crank 147 moves downward around the right end. It rotates in this way and returns to the initial state. As a result, in the ball feeding operation paddle 146, the left end portion (tip) near the ball feeding crank 147 swings in the vertical direction by the ball feeding solenoid 145.

The ball feeding crank 147 engages with the engaging portion 147a extending in the left-right direction so as to be able to engage with the vertically moving tip of the ball feeding operating rod 146 and the ball feeding operating rod 146 of the engaging portion 147a.

The ball feeding member 144 includes a transmission portion 147c that engages with a rod-shaped paddle portion 144c (see FIG. 38 (b)) that protrudes downward from a position eccentric with respect to the center of rotation.

The ball feeding unit 140 moves the tip (left end) of the ball feeding operating paddle 146 upward by driving the ball feeding solenoid 145, thereby moving the ball feeding crank 147 via the ball feeding operating paddle 146. It can be rotated around an axis that extends back and forth.

In the ball feeding unit 140, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is not driven (normal time), the ball feeding operation paddle 146 is separated from the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 145 and the tip is positioned downward. Then, the ball feeding member 144 is in a state of being positioned at the feeding position. Further, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven, the ball feeding operating rod 146 is sucked by the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 145, and the tip (left end) is positioned upward, and the ball feeding member 144 is in the holding position. Rotate to. That is, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven (ON state), the ball feeding member 144 receives one game ball B, and the driving of the ball feeding solenoid 145 is released (OFF state). The game ball B received by the ball feeding member 144 can be sent (supplied) to the ball launching device 540 side. The drive of the ball feed solenoid 145 in the ball feed unit 140 is controlled by the launch control unit 633b (see FIG. 203) of the payout control board 633 in synchronization with the drive control of the launch solenoid 542.

Further, the ball feeding unit 140 is adapted to apply a moment such that it rotates in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front by the ball pulling member 143 or the weight portion 143d which are rotatably supported by the shaft. However, the operating rod 143c projecting forward of the ball removing member 143 comes into contact with the upper end of the operation transmitting portion 242b of the upper plate ball removing slider 242 that operates by pressing the upper plate ball removing button 222 of the plate unit 200. Since the rotation is restricted, the partition portion 143a of the ball pulling member 143 is positioned and partitioned between the entrance 141a and the ball pulling port 141b under the normal state, and the ball pulling port 141b side. The game ball B does not invade.

Then, when the player presses the upper plate ball removal button 222 of the plate unit 200 downward, the upper plate ball removal slider 242 slides downward together with the operation transmission unit 242b to move the operation transmission unit 242b downward. Along with this, the operating rod 143c also moves relatively downward. When the operating rod 143c moves downward together with the operation transmitting portion 242b, the ball pulling member 143 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front, and the partition portion 143a moves from between the entrance 141a and the ball pulling port 141b. The partition is released. As a result, the game ball B that has entered from the entrance 141a falls to the ball extraction port 141b side, and is discharged from the ball extraction port 141b to the ball extraction guide path 241c of the upper plate ball extraction unit 240 in the plate unit 200. It can be discharged (supplied) to the lower plate 202 via the lower plate ball supply port 211c.

Since the upper plate ball pulling slider 242 in which the working transmission portion 242b with which the working paddle 143c of the ball pulling member 143 abuts is formed is urged upward by the spring, the game ball B is placed on the partition portion 143a. Even if it is supplied vigorously, the impact can be absorbed by a spring via the operating rod 143c, it is possible to prevent the ball pulling member 143 and the like from being damaged, and the game ball B is formed by the partition portion 143a. It can prevent it from bouncing back.

Further, the ball feeding unit 140 is formed with a rectangular mounting recess 142b (see FIG. 38 (b) and the like) recessed forward in the upper right when the ball hitting port 142a in the rear cover 142 is viewed from the rear.

The fraud prevention member 148 of the ball feeding unit 140 is formed of a hard metal plate such as tool steel or stainless steel, and is detachably attached to the inside of the mounting recess 142b of the rear cover 142 from the rear side.

The fraud prevention member 148 is formed in a rectangular shape with the outer shape of the front view extending to the left and right, and the upper piece portion 148a and the upper piece portion 148a which are separated vertically at substantially the center in the vertical direction within a predetermined distance from the right side to the left. It includes a lower piece portion 148b and an inclined portion 148c formed in a C chamfer shape on the tip end side (right end side in front view) of the side facing each other of the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b. .. The upper piece 148a of the fraud prevention member 148 is bent so that the right end in front view projects rearward with respect to the general surface of the fraud prevention member 148. The lower piece portion 148b extends on the same surface as the general surface of the fraud prevention member 148. As a result, in a plan view, the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b form a V-shaped groove that expands toward the right.

The fraud prevention member 148 is attached to the mounting recess 142b of the rear cover 142 so that the V-shaped groove formed by the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b communicates with the inside of the ball striking supply port 142a. Become.

According to the fraud prevention member 148, the fraudulent game ball B to which the string is attached is driven into the game area 5a by the ball launching device 540 from the upper plate via the ball feeding unit 140 and attached to the fraudulent game ball B. When a fraudulent act such as manipulating the string to move the illegal game ball B in and out of the first lower start port 2003, the first upper start port 2004, etc. is performed, the ball launcher 540 launches (hits) the ball. Due to the momentum of the illegal game ball B, the string attached to the illegal game ball B is inserted between the upper piece 148a and the lower piece 148b, and then the upper piece 148a and the lower piece are inserted. It can be cut by the V-shaped narrowed portion formed by the 148b, and it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts using the fraudulent game ball B to which the string is attached.

This LED driver 184b can control up to 24 systems, and controls a total of 15 systems of 3 systems for each set so that 10 LEDs 184a divided into 5 groups can emit light in full color. I am doing it.

Although not shown, the handle decorative board 184 has two power lines (one is a ground line) for supplying power for driving the LED 184a and the LED driver 184b, and commands and addresses from the peripheral control board 1510. A wiring cable consisting of four electric wires is connected, one control signal line for receiving signals such as the above, and one clock line for synchronizing the LED driver 184b with the peripheral control board 1510. .. Then, in the LED driver 184b of the handle decorative board 184, when a command addressed to the address is received from the peripheral control board 1510 (effect control board) via the control signal line, the LED driver 184b is divided into five groups according to the command. The 10 LEDs 184a can be made to emit light with an appropriate color and intensity for each set.

As described above, since the handle decorative substrate 184 has the LED driver 184b, the number of light emission of the LEDs 184a is larger than the number of electric wires constituting the wiring cable to be connected individually (here, the set). Since it can be controlled every), the number of electric wires can be reduced, and the configuration of electrical wiring can be simplified.

The front surface of the steering wheel front lens 185 bulges forward in a round shape and has translucency.

The handle rotation detection sensor 189 is a variable resistor, and when the handle 195 is rotated, the detection shaft 189a of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 rotates via the shaft member 187 and the transmission gear 188. The internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft 189a. Therefore, when the handle 195 is rotated to change the internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189, the driving force of the firing solenoid 542 in the ball launching device 540 described later changes according to the internal resistance, and the rotation of the handle 195 The game ball B can be driven into the game area 5a with a strength corresponding to the angle.

The handle touch sensor 192 detects static electricity acting on the handle unit 180, and when the player comes into contact with the handle 195, it detects the static electricity acting on the player and makes contact with the handle 195 of the player. To detect. Then, when the handle 195 is rotated while the handle touch sensor 192 is detecting the contact of the player, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is received, and the firing solenoid has a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 195. The drive of 542 is controlled, and the game ball B can be driven.

Therefore, even if the player tries to drive the game ball B into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 195 in some way without touching the handle 195, the handle touch sensor 192 does not detect the contact of the player. Therefore, the firing solenoid 542 is not driven, and the game ball B cannot be driven. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from rotating the handle 195 by a method different from the original one to play the game, and it is possible to reduce the load (burden) on the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed. ..

The single-shot button operation sensor 194 detects the pressing operation of the single-shot button 193 by the player. When the single-shot button operation sensor 194 detects the operation of the single-shot button 193, the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 stops the drive of the launch solenoid 542. Therefore, if the player presses the single-shot button 193 while rotating the handle 195, the firing of the game ball B can be temporarily stopped without returning the rotation operation of the handle 195, and the single-shot button can be temporarily stopped. By releasing the pressing operation of 193, the game ball B can be driven into the game area 5a again with the driving strength before operating the single-shot button 193.

FIG. 50 (a) is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of the door frame by cutting horizontally at the portion of the lower plate ball supply port, and FIG. It is sectional drawing which shows the main part, (c) is the table which compared the number of game balls stored in the lower plate in this Example product and the conventional product. The lower plate 202 is arranged below the upper plate 201 and on the left side of the center of the plate unit 200 (door frame 3) in the left-right direction when viewed from the front. The lower plate 202 is formed of a lower plate main body 251 and a plate unit base 211. The lower plate 202 is formed in a container shape capable of storing the game ball B, and is provided with a lower plate ball extraction hole 202a that penetrates vertically through the bottom wall and is capable of discharging the game ball B. The lower plate ball extraction hole 202a of the lower plate 202 is closed openable and closable by the lower plate ball extraction lid 265 of the lower plate ball extraction unit 260.

The lower plate 202 is formed in a substantially quadrangle shape in a plan view extending to the left and right, and the front end on the left side of the center in the left-right direction protrudes forward from the right side. In the lower plate 202, a lower plate ball extraction hole 202a penetrating vertically is arranged near the front end near the right end. The bottom surface of the lower plate 202 is inclined so as to be lowered toward the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a.

On the other hand, a lower plate ball extraction hole 202b of the lower plate 202 is provided in front of the central axis. Then, the lower plate ball supply port 211j is formed in a tubular shape that extends straight forward so that the game ball B discharged forward from the ball discharge port 150d goes straight to the lower plate ball extraction hole 202b. As a result, the game ball B discharged forward from the lower plate ball supply port 211j can be quickly discharged downward from the lower plate ball extraction hole 202b by moving the shortest distance.

By the way, when the game ball B is guided straight toward the lower plate ball extraction hole 202b by the lower plate ball supply port 211j, the lower plate ball extraction hole 202b is closed by the lower plate ball extraction lid 265. Since the plate ball extraction hole 202b and the lower plate ball supply port 211j are provided near the right end of the lower plate 202, there is a risk that the storage of the game ball B will be concentrated in the area on the right side of the center of the lower plate 202. There is. Then, when the game ball B concentrated in the area on the right side in the lower plate 202 blocks the front of the lower plate ball supply port 211j, the game ball B moves from the storage passage 150e of the foul cover unit 150 to the lower plate 202 side. There is a risk that the full tank detection sensor 154 will operate and the lower plate 202 will be determined to be full even though there is still room on the left side of the lower plate 202. There is.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, although details will be described later, as shown in FIG. 50A, the left side wall (ball guide portion 213) of the lower plate ball supply port 211c is extended diagonally to the left front.

More specifically, at least one game ball B can be distributed with a distance between the left side wall of the lower plate ball supply port 211c and the front surface of the plate unit base 211 at a portion directly behind the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a. It is tilted diagonally to the left and forward so that it is a distance.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 50, the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a is to the left of the central axis (line indicated by the alternate long and short dash line) of the rear end (ball discharge port 150d) of the lower plate ball supply port 211c. I'm moving to.

As a result, by moving the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a to the left, the lowest portion of the lower plate 202 (the portion of the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a) is moved to the left, and the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a is moved to the left. With the 202a closed, it is possible to reduce the concentration of the game ball B on the right side in the lower plate 202. Then, even if a plurality of game balls B are stored in the lower plate 202 from the portion of the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a and reach the rear end of the lower plate 202 (front surface of the plate unit base 211), the lower plate ball is supplied. Since the side wall on the left side of the mouth 211c extends diagonally to form a gap through which the game ball B can flow from the rear end of the lower plate 202, the foul cover unit 150 (ball discharge port 150d) and the upper plate ball The game ball B discharged from the unit 240 (ball removal guide path 241c) to the lower plate ball supply port 211c side is guided to the left side in the lower plate 202 along the diagonally extending left side wall and released. This allows the game ball B to be properly stored in the entire lower plate 202.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the full tank detection sensor 154 from operating and notifying the full tank even though a sufficient area for storing the game ball B remains in the lower plate 202. More game balls B can be stored in the lower plate 202.

The effect operation unit 350 of the present embodiment is provided with a contact detector 352 that functions as a sensor electrode for detecting capacitance by the contact detection sensor body 358 on the lower surface of the upper surface portion 351a of the button body 351. Therefore, it is possible to detect the contact or approach of the object to be detected (player's hand) to the upper surface of the button body 351 via the contact detection body 352. Further, since the contact detection body 352 of the effect operation unit 350 has a plurality of downward extension pieces 352a extending downward, the button main body is in a state where the effect operation unit 350 is projected upward. It is possible to detect the contact or approach of the object to be detected (player's hand) to the side surface of the 351. Therefore, the effect operation unit 350 can make the button body 351 function as the contact operation unit 302 by the contact detection body 352 and the contact detection sensor body 358.

The effect operation unit unit 350 is supported by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 so as to be able to move up and down in the vertical direction. In the state where the effect operation unit 350 is moved most downward (normal state), the upper surface portion 351a of the button body 351 coincides with the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312 of the effect operation unit cover unit 310, and the effect operation is performed. The unit 300 can be seen as one sphere. When the effect operation unit 350 is moved upward from the normal state by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, the upper surface portion 351a of the button body 351 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312. By pressing downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, it can function as the pressing operation unit 303.

More specifically, in the state where the effect operation unit 350 is moved to the most downward position (normal state), the effect operation unit 350 does not move further downward even when pressed, and the pressing operation cannot be performed. .. In this normal state, the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 is detected by the press detection sensor 373 of the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360. Then, when the effect operation unit 350 is moved upward from the normal state by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 is separated from the press detection sensor 373 and becomes a non-detection state. .. Then, when the upper surface of the effect operation unit 350 is pressed downward and the effect operation unit 350 is lowered to the lower moving end against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 detects the pressure. It is detected by the sensor 373. As a result, the pressing operation of the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) is detected.

Further, since the effect operation unit 350 covers the upper part of the contact detection body 352 made of punching metal with the button body 351, it touches the upper surface of the smooth spherical button body 351 when operating the contact operation unit 302. As a result, the player does not directly touch the surface of the punching metal having irregularities due to the plurality of holes, and the player can smoothly operate the contact operation unit 302. Further, since the contact detection body 352 is covered with the button body 351, fine irregularities and a plurality of streaks are formed on the surface (upper surface) of the button body 351 to give an arbitrary tactile sensation to the contact operation unit 302. The pachinko machine 1 can be provided, the degree of freedom in designing the contact operation unit 302 can be increased, and the player can be more entertained.

In the above description, the button body 351 is transparent, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the button body 351 may be opaque or translucent so that the lower side is difficult to see through the button body 351. As a result, the contact detector 352 made of punching metal becomes difficult to see through the button body 351, so that the appearance of the effect operation unit 350 can be improved. Further, when the button body 351 is opaque, it is desirable to have translucency. As a result, the button body 351 can be light-lit and decorated by the light from the LED 355a of the button outer decorative board 355 and the LED 364a of the button inner decorative board 364 provided below, and the player can emit light by the light emitting effect of the button body 351. Can be entertained.

The pressure detection sensor 373 constantly detects the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 in the state where the effect operation unit 350 is moved most downward (normal state). When the effect operation unit 350 is moved upward from the normal state by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, the pressure detection sensor 373 is in a non-detection state because the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 is separated. Then, when the upper surface of the effect operation unit 350 is pressed downward and the effect operation unit 350 lowers the effect detection sensor 373 to the lower moving end against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, the button base 354 354d of the detection piece can be detected, and the pressing operation of the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) can be detected.

The elevating detection sensor 374 detects the elevating detection piece 370c of the elevating cam drive gear member 370, and thereby, the elevating cam member 371 via the connected portion 371f connected to the connecting portion 370b of the elevating cam drive gear member 370. The rotation position of is detected.

The sudden output detection sensor 375 detects the detection piece 385d of the elevating unsprung holding member 385 in the unexpected output adjusting mechanism 380.

The effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 can support the effect operation unit 350 so as to be able to move up and down via the button base 354 by a pair of guide shafts 362 arranged in the front and rear, and the button base 354 is supported by a pair of elevating springs 365. The effect operation unit 350 can be urged upward through the method. Further, the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 raises and lowers the effect operation unit 350 (effect operation unit 301) with respect to the effect operation unit cover unit 310 by rotating the elevating cam member 371 by the operation button elevating drive motor 367. Can be made to. Further, the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 can appropriately illuminate the central portion of the upper surface of the button body 351 by appropriately emitting light of a plurality of LEDs 364a mounted on the decorative substrate 364 in the button.

In the normal state of the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is locked to the locking portion 371c provided on the lower end side of the elevating cam member 371 (FIG. 55A). See). In this normal state, the effect operation unit 350 is located at the downward moving end via the button base 354, and even if the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) is pressed downward, the effect operation is performed. The unit 350 does not move downward. Therefore, in the normal state, the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 is not detected. Further, in a normal state, the surface (upper surface) of the unit upper cover 312 in the effect operation unit cover unit 310 and the upper surface of the button body 351 in the effect operation unit 350 are in agreement, and the effect operation unit cover unit 310 And the button body 351 form one sphere.

When the elevating drive gear 368 is rotated counterclockwise in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367 in a normal state (the effect operation unit 350 is in the descending position), it meshes with the elevating drive gear 368. The elevating cam drive gear member 370 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view via the driven gear 369, and the elevating cam member 371 connected to the elevating cam drive gear member 370 also rotates in the same direction. When the elevating cam member 371 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the cam portion 371a seen in the front in FIG. 55 (a) moves to the right, and the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is locked. The button base 354 rolls from the 371c to the left portion of the locking portion 371c in the first cam 371b, and the button base 354 moves slightly downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 354c.

Then, when the guide pin 354c that rolls relatively to the left along the first cam 371b with the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 is located from the left end of the first cam 371b to the second cam 371d side, the second cam Since the second cam 371d extends vertically upward with respect to the first cam 371b, the guide pin 354c moves upward along the second cam 371d due to the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the guide pin 354c and the guide pin 354c At the same time, the button base 354 is raised, and the effect operation unit 350 is in the raised position. In this state, since the detection piece 354d is separated from the pressure detection sensor 373, the pressure detection sensor 373 is in a non-detection state.

The elevating unsprung holding member 385 of the elevating output adjusting mechanism 380 with which the lower end of the elevating spring 365 is in contact can be moved to various positions in the vertical direction by the projecting output adjusting drive motor 381, although details will be described later. it can. Then, since the compression amount of the elevating spring 365 can be changed according to the position of the elevating unsprung holding member 385 in the vertical direction, the effect operating unit 350 is raised by the protruding output according to the compression amount of the elevating spring 365. It can be projected to a position.

In the state where the effect operation unit 350 is in the raised position, as shown in FIG. 55B, the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is the second cam 371d of one cam portion 371a and the third of the remaining cam portions 371a. It is in contact with the cam 371e. In this state, the drive of the operation button elevating drive motor 367 is temporarily stopped.

When the effect operation unit 350 is in the raised position, the upper surface of the button base 354 is in contact with the lower surface of the upper base 363, and the movement of the button base 354 further upward is restricted. Further, when the effect operation unit 350 is in the raised position, the entire effect operation unit 350 (effect operation unit 301) is moving upward, and the upper surface portion 351a of the button body 351 is located above the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312. Also protrudes upward.

When the button body 351 (pressing operation unit 303) of the effect operation unit 350 is pressed downward with a force stronger than the urging force of the elevating spring 365 in this raised position, the effect operation unit 350 pushes the elevating spring 365. It moves downward against the urging force of the button base 354 and comes into contact with the gear cover 372. When the button base 354 comes into contact with the gear cover 372, the button base 354 is in the lowered position, and the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) is also in the lowered position together with the button base 354.

In this way, when the button base 354 comes into contact with the gear cover 372, the detection piece 354d protruding downward from the button base 354 is in a state of being detected by the pressure detection sensor 373, and the button body 351 of the effect operation unit unit ( The pressing of the pressing operation unit 303) is detected.

To return the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) from the ascending position to the descending position, the elevating cam member 371 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367. In (b), the third cam 371e, which is in contact with the upper left of the guide pin 354c of the button base 354, moves to the right (direction of the guide pin 354c). Therefore, the guide pin 354c is moved by the third cam 371e. Is pressed downward, and the button base 354 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 354c.

When returning the effect operation unit 350 to the descending position, the projecting output adjusting drive motor 381 of the projecting output adjusting mechanism 380 moved the elevating unsprung holding member 385 downward to reduce the amount of compression of the elevating spring 365. The state (see FIG. 56). As a result, the urging force of the elevating spring 365 that urges the effect operation unit 350 upward becomes weak, so that the force acting on the third cam 371e of the elevating cam member 371 via the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 also increases. It becomes weak and the load applied to the operation button elevating drive motor 367 that rotates the elevating cam member 371 can be reduced, and the damage (failure) of the operation button elevating drive motor 367 can be reduced. Further, as the operation button elevating drive motor 367, an inexpensive motor having a low torque can be used.

Then, when the guide pin 354c moves from the lower end of the third cam 371e to the first cam 371b side with the rotation of the elevating cam member 371, the downward movement of the button base 354 stops and the guide pin 354c moves to the first cam. It rolls along 371b. After that, when the guide pin 354c reaches the position of the locking portion 371c in the middle of the first cam 371b, the guide pin 354c is inserted into the locking portion 371c recessed upward by the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the operation is performed. By stopping the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 by the button elevating drive motor 367, the effect operation unit 350 is returned to the original descending position.

In the above, in the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, the elevating cam member 371 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction by the operation button elevating drive motor 367, so that the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is moved to the first cam 371b ( An example of moving the button base 354 (button body 351) from the locking portion 371c) to the second cam 371d and projecting the button base 354 (button body 351) from the descending position to the ascending position at once has been described, but the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is an elevating cam member. In a normal state in which the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) is locked to the locking portion 371c of 371 and the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) is moved to the lower position, the operation button elevating drive motor 367 makes the elevating cam member 371 a clock in a plan view. It may be rotated in the clockwise direction. Incidentally, the elevating distance of the button main body 351 (effect operation unit 350) by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 in the present embodiment is about 40 mm.

When the elevating cam member 371 is rotated in the clockwise direction in a normal state, the guide pin 354c moves from the first cam 371b to the third cam 371e, and the guide pin 354c is moved to the third cam 371e by the urging force of the elevating spring 365. Will move upward along. When the guide pin 354c is in the middle position of the third cam 371e and the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 is stopped, the button body 351 is projected upward at an arbitrary position between the descending position and the ascending position. It can be stopped. Then, by projecting the button body 351 to a position above the lowering position, the button body 351 can be pressed downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the button body 351 is pressed by the pressing operation unit 303. Can function as.

When the button body 351 is projected upward by the third cam 371e, the elevating unsprung holding member 385 of the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 is moved downward to weaken the urging force of the elevating spring 365. Is desirable. As a result, the load applied to the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 (operation button elevating drive motor 367) can be reduced, and the operation feeling of the pressing operation of the button main body 351 can be lightened.

In this way, since the amount of protrusion of the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) can be changed according to the rotation position of the elevating cam member 371, the protrusion amount can be changed according to the gaming state (for example, the first lower start port 2003). (Depending on the lottery result of the special symbol drawn by accepting the game ball B to the first upper start port 2004 and the second start port 2005) Can be suggested to the player.

It should be noted that at least one shallow recess in which the guide pin 354c can be locked may be provided in the middle of the third cam 371e of the elevating cam member 371. As a result, the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) can be stably projected to the position of the same protruding amount, and the variation in the protruding amount can be prevented. Further, when a recess is provided in at least one place in the middle of the third cam 371e, the guide pin 354c is locked in the recess, so that the operation button elevating drive motor 367 stops the rotation of the elevating cam member 371. It is not necessary to continue, and the load applied to the operation button elevating drive motor 367 can be reduced.

[3-5e-6. Sudden output adjustment mechanism]
The sudden output adjusting mechanism 380 in the effect operation unit 300 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 53 to 56 and the like. The sudden output adjusting mechanism 380 changes the amount of compression of the elevating spring 365 that urges the effect operation unit 350 upward, so that the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) protrudes upward. It is possible to change the sudden output). The protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 is provided between the bottom wall of the main body 315a of the operation unit base 315 and the base main body 361a of the elevating mechanism base 361.

The sudden output adjusting mechanism 380 includes a sudden output adjusting drive motor 381 attached to the lower surface of the base body 361a of the elevating mechanism base 361 and a spur gear-shaped pinion gear attached to the rotating shaft of the protruding output adjusting drive motor 381. From the transmission gear 383 that meshes with the pinion gear 382 and is rotatably attached to the lower surface of the base body 361a, the spur gear-shaped gear portion 384a that meshes with the transmission gear 383, and the gear portion 384a. An adjusting screw 384 that has a screw portion 384b that extends downward in a columnar shape and has a spiral groove formed on the outer circumference, and is rotatably supported by inserting a central shaft 366, and an adjusting screw. It is provided with a lifting spring lower holding member 385 that meshes with the screw portion 384b of the 384, penetrates the pair of guide shafts 362, and is in contact with the lower ends of the pair of lifting springs 365.

The sudden output adjustment drive motor 381 is attached to the lower surface of the base main body 361a so that a gap is formed between the elevating mechanism base 361 and the lower surface of the base main body 361a. The sudden output adjusting drive motor 381 has a rotation shaft protruding from the gap between the motor and the base body 361a.

The upper and lower adjustment screws 384 are formed to have a length extending from the bottom wall of the main body 315a of the operation unit base 315 to the base main body 361a of the elevating mechanism base 361. The screw portion 384b of the adjusting screw 384 is formed in a columnar shape having a diameter larger than that of the gear portion 384a.

The elevating unsprung holding member 385 has a main body portion 385a extending back and forth, a screw hole 385b penetrating up and down at the center of the main body portion 385a and screwing with the screw portion 384b, and front and rear of the main body portion 385a. It has a spring holding recess 385c that is provided at both ends and is recessed downward to accommodate the lower end of the elevating spring 365, and a flat plate-shaped detection piece 385d that extends upward from the front end of the main body 385a. .. The elevating unsprung holding member 385 has a guide shaft 362 penetrating the center of the pair of spring holding recesses 385c. The detection piece 385d is detected by the sudden output detection sensor 375 of the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360.

When the pinion gear 382 is rotated by the protrusion adjustment drive motor 381, the protrusion adjustment mechanism 380 can rotate the adjustment screw 384 around the central shaft 366 via the transmission gear 383 and the gear portion 384a. Then, the sudden output adjusting mechanism 380 moves the elevating unsprung holding member 385 in the vertical direction by the screw hole 385b meshing with the screw portion 384b by rotating the adjusting screw 384 by the protruding output adjusting drive motor 381. be able to.

In the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380, when the elevating unsprung holding member 385 is moved upward, the lower end of the elevating spring 365 held in the spring holding recess 385c is moved upward, and the amount of compression of the elevating spring 365 is large. Become. On the other hand, when the elevating unsprung holding member 385 is moved downward, the lower end of the elevating spring 365 held in the spring holding recess 385c is moved downward, and the amount of compression of the elevating spring 365 becomes small (FIG. 56). reference). That is, when the elevating unsprung holding member 385 is moved upward, the urging force for urging the effect operating unit 350 upward by the elevating spring 365 can be increased, and the elevating unsprung holding member 385 is moved downward. And, the urging force for urging the effect operation unit 350 upward by the elevating spring 365 can be reduced. As a result, the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 can adjust the protrusion output upward of the effect operation unit 350.

The detection piece 385d of the elevating unsprung holding member 385 is detected by the protrusion output detection sensor 375 when the elevating unsprung holding member 385 is raised most. That is, when the amount of compression of the elevating spring 365 is the largest, the detection piece 385d is detected by the sudden output detection sensor 375. As a result, when the sudden output detection sensor 375 detects the detection piece 385d while the elevating unsprung holding member 385 is being moved upward by the sudden output adjusting drive motor 381, the elevating unsprung holding member 381 by the protruding output adjusting drive motor 381 By stopping the upward movement of the 385, further compression of the elevating spring 365 can be prevented, and damage to the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 can be prevented.

Further, as described above, the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 can appropriately adjust the protrusion output of the effect operation unit 350, so that the button body is operated by the contact detector 352 while the effect operation unit 350 is in the lowered position. The contact or approach of the object to be detected (for example, the player's finger, etc.) to the 351 is detected, and the effect operation unit unit 350 is projected by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 to come into contact with the object to be detected. Occasionally, the position of the lifting unsprung holding member 385 in the vertical direction may be appropriately selected so that the protruding output of the button body 351 is different. As a result, when the button body 351 protrudes upward, the strength applied to the player's fingers or the like can be made different. Therefore, if the button body 351 strongly abuts, there may be something good for the player. It is possible to make the player think that it is, and it is possible to raise the player's expectation for the game. Therefore, according to the sudden output adjusting mechanism 380, a special lottery is made according to the gaming state (for example, by accepting the game ball B into the first lower starting port 2003, the first upper starting port 2004, or the second starting port 2005). By increasing or decreasing the sudden output of the button body 351 (according to the lottery result of the symbol), it is possible to make the player suggest the degree of expectation for the game.

By the way, as a method of changing the urging force of the spring, it is conceivable to change the urging force by applying a twist to the spring. However, it is necessary to use a compressed spring (compression coil spring) in order to project the effect operation unit 350, and if the compression coil spring is twisted to change the urging force, it is impossible to use it differently from the original use. Stress acts on the compression coil spring, and the internal structure may deteriorate and be damaged at an early stage. On the other hand, in the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 of the present embodiment, the protrusion output of the effect operating unit 350 is changed by changing the compression amount of the lift spring 365 by moving the lifting unsprung holding member 385 in the vertical direction. Since the urging force) is adjusted, excessive stress does not act on the elevating spring 365, and it is possible to reduce the early deterioration of the elevating spring 365. It can be stably projected over a long period of time.

[3-5e-7. Action of production operation unit]
Next, the operation of the effect operation unit 300 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 57 and 58. FIG. 57 is an explanatory view showing the positional relationship between the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative substrate, the button outer decorative substrate, and the button inner decorative substrate in a plan view of the effect operation unit viewed from the pressing direction of the pressing operation unit. FIG. 58 (a) is a front view of the dish unit shown in a normal state, and FIG. 58 (b) is a front view of the dish unit when the effect operation unit is in the raised position. The effect operation unit 300 is formed in a spherical shape as a whole, and has an effect operation unit 301 on the upper surface that can be operated by the player. The effect operation unit 301 is composed of a contact operation unit 302 that can be operated by touching or approaching the player's hand or the like, and a pressing operation unit 303 that can perform a pressing operation. The contact operation unit 302 is provided above the pressing operation unit 303 (button body 351).

The effect operation unit 300 is assembled in the dish unit 200 in a state in which the projecting direction of the pressing operation unit 303 (effect operation unit unit 350) capable of projecting upward is inclined so that the upper side is positioned forward with respect to the vertical direction. ing. That is, the center of the effect operation unit 301 is located in front of the apex of the spherical effect operation unit 300. As a result, the effect operation unit 301 can be easily seen by the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1.

In the normal state of the effect operation unit 300, the pressing operation unit 303 (effect operation unit 350) is in the lowered position, and the curved upper surface of the button body 351 of the effect operation unit 350 is the effect. It coincides with the spherical surface of the operation unit cover unit 310. Further, in the normal state, even if the pressing operation unit 303 is pressed downward, the pressing operation unit 303 (effect operation unit 350) does not move downward. Therefore, in a normal state, it is difficult for the player to recognize that the effect operation unit 300 looks like a mere spherical decorative body and can be operated.

As shown in FIG. 57, in the effect operation unit 300, the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative substrate 320 is arranged below the unit upper cover 312 that surrounds the outer periphery of the pressing operation unit 303 (effect operation unit unit 350). An annular button outer decorative substrate 355 is arranged inside the pressing operation unit 303 near the outer edge, and a button inner decorative substrate 364 is further arranged inside the annular button outer decorative substrate 355. The effect operation unit 300 is arranged outward in the order of the button outer decorative board 355 and the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative board 320, centering on the button inner decorative board 364. The LED 355a inside the decorative substrate 364 inside the button and the decorative substrate 355 outside the button is arranged below the contact detector 352, but the contact detector 352 is formed of punching metal to provide translucency. Since it has, the light from them can be satisfactorily transmitted upward (player side).

The effect operation unit 300 can illuminate and decorate the annular unit upper cover 312 by the LED 320a of the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative substrate 320. Further, the LED 355a of the button outer decorative substrate 355 can illuminate the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the button main body 351 and the outer peripheral surface. Further, the LED 364a of the decorative substrate 364 in the button can illuminate and decorate the central portion of the upper surface of the button body 351.

Since the plurality of LEDs 320a of the outer peripheral decorative substrate 320 of the effect operation unit, the plurality of LEDs 355a of the decorative substrate 355 outside the button, and the plurality of LEDs 364a of the decorative substrate 364 inside the button are arranged in a row on the circumference, in the circumferential direction. By sequentially emitting light, it is possible to show the player a light emitting effect in which the light rotates around the center of the pressing operation unit 303. Further, since the plurality of LEDs 320a, LEDs 355a, and LEDs 364a are arranged concentrically, the light emission effect that the light spreads from the center of the pressing operation unit 303 to the outside and the light is emitted from the outside to the center of the pressing operation unit 303. It is possible to show the player a light emitting effect that converges.

In a normal state, the effect operation unit 300 is in a lowered position where the pressing operation unit 303 (effect operation unit 350) has its upper surface aligned with the surface of the unit upper cover 312, as shown in FIG. 58 (a). It is in a state. In this state, the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 is impossible. On the other hand, the contact operation unit 302 can enable the contact operation according to the player participation type effect to be executed.

As an effect (player participation type effect) in a normal state in which the pressing operation unit 303 (effect operation unit 350) is not projected, for example, an effect image prompting the user to touch the upper surface of the effect operation unit 300 is displayed. It displays on the device 1600 and outputs voice, sound effects, and the like. Then, when the contact detector 352 detects the contact (or approach) with the button body 351, the process proceeds to the next production stage. When the contact is detected, the button body 351 is light-emitting and decorated by the light emission of the LED 355a of the button outer decorative board 355 and the button inner decorative board 364, thereby recognizing that the contact operation is accepted by the player. It may be possible to give a feeling of operation to the contact operation unit 302. At this time, the degree of expectation for the game (for example, the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous, such as a "big hit" game) is given to the player by the emission color, emission brightness, emission pattern, etc. of the button body 351. It may be suggested.

Alternatively, when the contact detector 352 detects contact (or approach) with the button body 351, the button body 351 may be vibrated by driving the vibration motor 356. As a result, it is possible to give a feeling of operation to the contact operation unit 302, and it is possible to make the player strongly recognize that the contact operation has been accepted. At this time, even if the vibration motor 356 is given a strong vibration, a weak vibration, or a vibration having a predetermined rhythm, the player is made to suggest the degree of expectation for the game. good.

Further, as an effect in a normal state (player participation type effect), an effect image prompting the user to touch the upper surface of the effect operation unit 300 is displayed on the effect display device 1600, or a sound, a sound effect, or the like is output. After that, when the contact detector 352 detects the contact of the player (hand or finger) with respect to the upper surface of the button body 351, the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 raises or lowers the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350). It is projected upward (pop-up) by the urging force of the spring 365. More specifically, in a normal state, when the elevating cam member 371 is rotated counterclockwise in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367, the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is moved to the cam portion 371a (first cam). Departing from 371b), the effecting operation unit 350 (button body 351 and pressing operation unit 303) vigorously protrudes upward together with the button base 354 due to the urging force of the pair of elevating springs 365 (FIG. 371b). 55 (b)). In this raised position, the upper surface of the button body 351 is located above the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312, and the button body 351 projects upward. Then, as the button body 351 protrudes upward as described above, the fingers touching the button body 351 are pushed upward together with the button body 351. Therefore, the player can be greatly surprised, and the player's fingers can be greatly surprised. It can be very interesting.

After that, the process shifts to the effect of pressing the button body 351 (pressing operation unit 303) to entertain the player with the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303. More specifically, when the button body 351 (pressing operation unit 303) is in the raised position and the button body 351 is pressed downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) is pressed. Moving downward, the upper surface of the button body 351 is flush with the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312, and the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 is detected by the pressure detection sensor 373. As a result, the pressing operation of the button body 351 (pressing operation unit 303) is detected, and the effect can be changed with the pressing operation as a trigger to entertain the player with the player participation type effect.

In addition, at the time of the above-mentioned production, the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 strengthens or weakens the protrusion output (momentum) that causes the button body 351 to protrude, so that the player can determine the degree of expectation for the game depending on the strength of the protrusion output. May be suggested to. Further, the button body 351 may be vibrated by the vibration motor 356 when the button body 351 pops up or is pressed.

In the effect of projecting the effect operation unit 350, when the contact detector 352 detects that the player's fingers or the like approach the moving range (within the projecting range) of the button body 351 projecting upward, the button is displayed. The main body 351 (effect operation unit 350) may be projected upward. As a result, the button body 351 comes into contact with the finger or the like of the player to give an impact, so that the player can be surprised and the player's interest can be strongly attracted. Even in this case, the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 may increase or decrease the protrusion output of the button body 351 to suggest the degree of expectation for the game by the strength of the protrusion output.

Further, in the effect of projecting the effect operation unit 350, the contact detector 352 allows the player's fingers and the like to be outside the projecting range of the button body 351 protruding upward and within a predetermined distance from the protruding button body 351. The button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) may be projected upward when it is detected that the button body is approaching. As a result, the wind pressure generated by the protrusion of the button body 351 can be applied to the fingers and the like of the player, so that the player can be surprised and the player's interest can be strongly attracted. Even in this case, the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 makes the protrusion output of the button body 351 stronger or weaker, and makes the player suggest the degree of expectation for the game by the strength of the wind pressure that hits the player's fingers or the like. You may do so.

Further, as an effect of projecting the effect operation unit 350, the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) may be projected upward regardless of the detection of the player's fingers or the like by the contact detector 352. At this time, if the button body 351 is projected with a strong projectile output by the projecting output adjusting mechanism 380, the button body 351 protrudes vigorously to generate a sound (protruding sound), which surprises the player with the projecting sound. Can be done. Further, when the button body 351 is projected with a weak protrusion by the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380, the button body 351 protrudes quietly, so that it is difficult for the player to notice the protrusion of the button body 351. The button body 351 protrudes before you know it, which can surprise the player.

As an effect after the effect operation unit 350 (button body 351) is projected, the button body 351 (pressing operation unit 303) is generally used by weakening the urging force of the elevating spring 365 by the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380. It is also possible to perform an effect that causes the same pressing operation as the pressing button. Alternatively, the bump output adjusting mechanism 380 may be used to increase the urging force of the elevating spring 365 to cause the player to press the button body 351 with a strong force.

Further, as the effect after the effect operation unit unit 350 (button body 351) is projected, an effect of contacting the protruding button body 351 may be executed. At this time, since the contact detection body 352 has the downward extending piece 352a extending downward, the side surface of the button main body 351 may be contact-operated. Further, at this time, it is desirable that the urging force of the elevating spring 365 is strengthened by the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380, whereby the protruding button body 351 can be made difficult to move, and the button body 351 (contact operation). The contact operation of the part 302) can be easily performed.

As an effect of projecting the effect operation unit 350, the button base 354 is described above by rotating the elevating cam member 371 in the counterclockwise direction by the operation button elevating drive motor 367 in the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360. The guide pin 354c of the above is moved from the first cam 371b (locking portion 371c) to the second cam 371d, and the button base 354 (button body 351) is projected from the descending position to the ascending position at once. It is not limited to this.

For example, in a normal state where the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is locked to the locking portion 371c of the elevating cam member 371 and the button main body 351 (effect operation unit 350) is moved to the descending position, the operation button is raised and lowered. By rotating the elevating cam member 371 in the clockwise direction in a plan view by the drive motor 367, the guide pin 354c is moved from the first cam 371b to the third cam 371e, and the elevating cam member 371 is in the middle of the third cam 371e. The rotation of the button body 351 may be stopped to stop the upward protrusion of the button body 351 at a position between the descending position and the ascending position. At this time, the elevating unsprung holding member 385 of the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 is moved downward to weaken the urging force of the elevating spring 365.

In this way, even when the button body 351 is halfway projected by the third cam 371e of the elevating cam member 371, the button body 351 can be pressed and the button body 351 functions as the pressing operation unit 303. Therefore, it is possible to entertain the player with the player participation type production. In this case, since the amount of protrusion of the button body 351 can be made different according to the rotation position of the elevating cam member 371, it is possible to suggest the degree of expectation for the game according to the amount of protrusion of the button body 351. , Can entertain the player.

Further, as an effect of pressing the projected effect operation unit 350 (button body 351), after the effect operation unit 350 is projected, the elevating unsprung holding member 385 is moved downward to compress the elevating spring 365. To the minimum state. As a result, since the urging force of the elevating spring 365 is in the weakest state, the effect operation unit 350 can be pressed with a light (weak) force, and the operability of the pressing operation is enhanced to perform the pressing operation. Can be entertained. Further, as an effect of pressing the effect operation unit 350 (button body 351), the elevating spring 365 is set to an appropriate position in the vertical direction according to the lottery result of the special symbol drawn. The urging force may be any strength from the strongest to the weakest. As a result, the player can be forced to push the effect operation unit 350 strongly or weakly, so that the player can be entertained by the difference in the operation force of the effect operation unit 350, and more versatile. It is possible to present the production, and it is possible to make it difficult for the player to get bored.

Further, as an effect using the effect operation unit 300, a contact detector can detect the contact of the player's fingers or the like with the contact operation unit 302 (button body 351) in a plurality of contact stages (approach stages). A plurality of steps of threshold values may be set according to the capacitance of 352, and the effect may be changed according to each step. That is, paying attention to the fact that the capacitance of the contact detector 352 increases as the player's fingers and the like approach the button body 351 (contact detector 352), a plurality of threshold values are set for the magnitude of the capacitance. It may be possible to detect in multiple stages and utilize it for production. Specifically, for example, a stage in which the player's fingers or the like are separated from the button body 351 by a predetermined distance or more, a stage in which the player's fingers or the like are not in contact with the button body 351 within a predetermined distance from the button body 351. By dividing the stage where a person's fingers or the like are in contact with the button body 351 and changing the effect according to each stage, a variety of effects can be presented to the player even with one contact detection sensor body 358. This makes it difficult for the player to get bored and suppresses the decline in interest.

In the above embodiment, as a normal state of the effect operation unit 300, as shown in FIG. 55 (a), the effect operation unit 350 (button body 351) is set to the lower position and the elevating unsprung holding member is set. Although the state in which the 385 is moved upward is shown, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 56A, the effect operation unit 350 is set to the lowering position and the elevating unsprung holding member 385 is moved. It may be in a state of being moved downward. As a result, since the elevating spring 365 is not strongly compressed under the normal state, it is possible to prevent the elevating spring 365 from deteriorating (fatigue) at an early stage. Further, the strongly compressed urging force of the elevating spring 365 can prevent the button base 354 and the elevating unsprung holding member 385 from being deteriorated (fatigue) at an early stage.

As described above, according to the effect operation unit 300 of the present embodiment, since it can be used for the player participation type effect of various patterns, it is possible to entertain the player with various effects and make the player bored. It is possible to make it difficult and suppress the decline in interest.

A contact detection sensor main body 358 is provided on the effect operation unit 350 that moves up and down inside the decorative substrate 320. Further, inside the button sleeve 353 of the effect operation unit 350, a button interior decorative substrate 364 whose position is fixed is provided. Since the contact detection sensor main body 358 is provided with a sensor electrode for detecting the capacitance, when the effect operation unit 350 is moved from the lower position to the upper position, the contact detection sensor main body 358 (sensor electrode) is provided. ) Approaches the outer peripheral decorative substrate 320 of the effect operation unit and the decorative substrate 364 in the button, and the capacitance of the sensor electrode changes due to the approach of the decorative substrate 320 in the outer periphery of the effect operation unit and the decorative substrate 364 in the button, and the contact detection sensor There is a risk that the main body 358 will erroneously detect.

Therefore, a conductive shield connected to the ground (GND) between the outer peripheral decorative substrate 320 of the effect operation unit and the contact detection sensor main body 358, and between the decorative substrate 364 in the button and the contact detection sensor main body 358. (For example, punching metal, metal plate, expanded metal, wire mesh, metal wire, metal foil, etc.) may be provided. As a result, by moving the effect operation unit 350 up and down, even if the distance between the contact detection sensor body 358 and the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative board 320 and the button inner decorative board 364 changes, the contact detection sensor body 358 And the shield connected to the ground (GND) where the distance from the contact detection sensor main body 358 does not change between the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative board 320 and the button inner decorative board 364, the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative board 320 and The influence of the change in capacitance due to the approach of the decorative substrate 364 in the button can be reduced, and erroneous detection in the contact detection sensor main body 358 can be prevented.

[3-5f. Another embodiment of the dish unit]
Subsequently, the dish unit 200 of the embodiment different from the above will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 59 to 61 and the like. FIG. 59 is a plan view of the effect operation unit unit showing an example in which a plurality of contact detectors are provided in the effect operation unit of the effect operation unit. FIG. 60A is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an example in which a plurality of contact detectors are connected to one contact detection sensor main body, and FIG. 60B is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an example in which the contact detection sensor main body and the plurality of contact detectors are connected in FIG. It is explanatory drawing which shows typically the example which provided the switching part between, and (c) is the effect that the plate left decoration unit, the plate right decoration unit, the effect operation unit, etc. of the plate unit can move forward and backward. It is explanatory drawing which shows the example which provided the contact detection body on the front side and the rear side of an operation unit and the like. FIG. 61A is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a contact detector having decorativeness, and FIG. 61B is an explanatory diagram schematically showing another embodiment of the effect operation unit. In addition, in FIGS. 59 to 61, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as described above.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 59, the contact detection body 352 is divided into left and right of the contact detection body left 390L and the contact detection body right 390R on the lower side of the button body 351 of the effect operation unit 350. The contact detection sensor main body left 391L and the contact detection sensor main body right 391R are connected to each of the contact detection body left 390L and the contact detection body right 390R, respectively. According to this embodiment, on the upper surface of the button body 351, for example, when the player moves the fingers or the like from the left side to the right side, first, when the player's fingers or the like are located on the left side of the button body 351. The capacitance of the contact detector left 390L changes and the contact detection sensor body left 391L becomes detection, and the capacitance of the contact detector right 390R does not change, and the contact detection sensor body right 391R remains undetected. It becomes. Then, when the player's finger or the like moves to the center of the button body 351, the capacitances of both the contact detector left 390L and the contact detector right 390R change, so that the contact detection sensor body left 391L and the contact detection sensor body Both of the right 391R are detected. Further, when the player's finger or the like moves to the right side of the button body 351, the capacitance of the contact detector left 390L returns to the original state, the contact detection sensor body left 391L becomes non-detection, and the contact detector right 390R is electrostatically charged. The capacitance is changing and the contact detection sensor body right 391R remains detected.

In this way, the movement of the player's fingers and the like due to the combination of detection / non-detection of the contact detection sensor main body left 391L and the contact detection sensor main body right 391R by the contact detector left 390L and the contact detector right 390R and the pattern of the change. Can be detected. As a result, it is possible to detect a contact operation with a wider variety of movements, and it is possible to present to the player a player-participatory effect capable of causing the contact operation unit 302 to perform a variety of contact operations. , The player participation type effect of operating the contact operation unit 302 can be further enjoyed. If a contact detector is added, more complicated operations can be detected.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 60A is an example in which a plurality of contact detection bodies 393 are connected to one contact detection sensor main body 392. According to this embodiment, in a state where a plurality of contact detection bodies 393 are provided at a plurality of different locations, one contact detection sensor main body 392 detects contact with a human body or the like by any of the contact detection bodies 393. can do.

For example, by arranging the plurality of contact detectors 393 in a distributed manner inside (lower side) of the button body 351 so that the player's fingers or the like come into contact with any part of the surface of the button body 351. The contact can be detected by the contact detection body 393, and the detection accuracy for contact with the contact operation unit 302 can be improved.

In addition, the plurality of contact detectors 393 may cause trouble to a part of the pachinko machine 1 that the player does not want to touch (for example, a part where the player may be injured, or another player). It may be provided in a certain part, a part where a fraudulent act may be performed, etc.), and when a human body or the like is detected by any of the contact detectors 393, cautions, warnings, etc. may be notified.

Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 60 (b), switching between one contact detection sensor main body 392 and a plurality of contact detection bodies 393 in which only one of the contact detection bodies 393 is connected to the contact detection sensor main body 392. This is an example in which the portion 394 is provided. According to this embodiment, by switching the connection to any one of the plurality of contact detection bodies 352 by the switching unit 394, it is possible to detect the contact of the human body or the like only in the desired portion (contact detection body 352). .. The switching unit 394 includes "a switch by a switching circuit using a relay or a transistor", "a switch by another electronic circuit", and "a movable member (for example, a movable dish left decoration as shown in FIG. 60 (c)". The unit 270, the dish right decoration unit 275, and the effect operation unit 300) are switched as the unit moves. ”

For example, in the effect operation unit 301 (contact operation unit 302), a plurality of contact detection bodies 393 are distributed and arranged, and a player participation type effect is executed such that the parts detected by each contact detection body 393 are touched in order. Occasionally, the contact detection body 393 connected to the contact detection sensor main body 392 is switched in the order of being touched by the switching unit 394, and the contact detection body 393 detects whether or not the player's fingers or the like have touched. good. As a result, it is possible to present the player with a highly game-like player-participation-type effect by the plurality of contact detectors 393, and it is possible to entertain the player and suppress a decrease in interest.

Further, as shown in FIG. 60 (c), when the plate left decoration unit 270, the plate right decoration unit 275, and the effect operation unit 300 can be moved forward and backward, the first is on the front side of the effect operation unit 300. When the contact detector 393a is provided and the second contact detector 393b is provided behind the dish left decoration unit 270, the dish right decoration unit 275, and the effect operation unit 300 to project the effect operation unit 300 and the like forward. When the first contact detection body 393a and the contact detection sensor main body 392 are connected by the switching unit 394 and the effect operation unit 300 or the like is retracted, the second contact detection body 393b and the contact detection sensor main body 392 are connected by the switching unit 394. You may switch to do so.

As a result, when the effect operation unit 300 or the like is projected (moved) forward, the first contact detector 393a detects the contact or approach of the player and stops the effect operation unit 300 or the like from moving forward. To. As a result, it is possible to prevent the effect operation unit 300 and the like from unnecessarily pressing the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1, and to prevent the player from being uncomfortable. be able to.

On the other hand, when the effect operation unit 300 or the like is projected forward, a gap may be formed on the rear side of the effect operation unit 300 or the like, and the effect is performed with the player's fingers or the like inserted in the gap. If the operation unit 300 or the like is retracted to the initial position, the player's fingers or the like may be pinched and injured. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the effect operation unit 300 or the like moved forward is moved backward, the switching unit 394 switches the second contact detector 393b so as to be connected to the contact detection sensor main body 392. Then, when the second contact detector 393b detects the player's fingers or the like, the movement of the effect operation unit 300 or the like to the rear is stopped, and the fingers or the like are separated from the rear side of the effect operation unit 300 or the like. The guidance of the above is notified to the player, and the effect operation unit 300 or the like is moved rearward only when the second contact detector 393b is not detected to return to the initial state. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from being injured by the gap on the rear side of the effect operation unit 300 or the like, and it is possible to enhance the safety of the pachinko machine 1.

Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 61A, the outer shape of the contact detector 395 that detects the contact of the player's fingers or the like is shaped like a star to have decorativeness (design). The shape of the decorative contact detector 395 is not limited to a star shape, but is a circular shape, a polygonal shape, a geometric pattern shape, a shape imitating a predetermined character, and a predetermined item. It may be a shape, a shape imitating a predetermined logo, a frame-like shape, or the like. As a result, since the contact detector 395 that can be seen through the transparent button body 351 has decorativeness (design), the contact detector 395 itself can improve the appearance of the button body 351 and thus the pachinko machine 1. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 having a high appeal to a player.

Further, in the above embodiment, the contact detector 352 formed of punching metal is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the contact detector can be a metal plate, expanded metal, wire mesh, metal wire, plating, or the like. It may be formed by metal vapor deposition, foil stamping, or the like, and the same effect as described above can be obtained. It is desirable that the contact detector is provided on the back surface side of the transparent surface member so that the player's fingers or the like do not come into direct contact with the contact detector, so that the contact detector can be prevented from being worn and the surface member provides a tactile sensation. It can be smooth.

Further, in the above embodiment, the one in which the decorative substrate 364 (LED364a) in the button is provided below the contact detector 352 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 61 (b), the present invention is shown. A contact detector 397 may be provided below the transparent surface member 396, and a decorative body 398 may be provided below the contact detector 397. As a result, the decorative body 398 can be seen through the surface member 396 and the contact detector 397, so that the decorativeness of the effect operation unit provided with the surface member 396 can be enhanced, and the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved. it can.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 61B, the contact detector 397 is formed by metal deposition so that the decorative body 398 provided below cannot be visually recognized due to the metallic luster of the contact detector 397 under normal conditions. By illuminating the decorative body 398 with an LED provided below the contact detector 397 by detecting contact with the surface member 396, the decorative body 398 can be visually recognized through the surface member 396 and the contact detector 397. good.

Further, the contact detector 352 may be formed so as not to be recognized by the player. Here, examples of the unrecognizable contact detector include "a body formed of a transparent member", "a body formed so as to be integrally visible with the decoration of a surface member such as a button body", and the like. As a result, the effect operation unit 301 provided with the contact detection body 352 cannot recognize the contact detection body 352, and therefore does not detect or perform a contact operation with the player such as a finger. For example, when a predetermined player participation type effect is executed and the player's fingers or the like come into contact with or approach the button body 351, the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 raises the button body 351. By projecting to, the player becomes aware of the existence of the contact detector 352 (contact operation unit 302) for the first time, which can greatly surprise the player, entertain the player, and suppress the decline in interest. Can be done.

In the plate unit 200 of the door frame 3, a spherical effect operation unit 300 having a diameter larger than the distance in the front-rear direction of the upper plate 201 is attached to the center in the left-right direction. As a result, in the dish unit 200, since the large spherical effect operation unit 300 is located at the center, the visual impact can be enhanced, and the effect operation unit 301 (contact operation unit 302 and pressing) of the effect operation unit 300 can be enhanced. The operation unit 303) can be made to stand out.

Further, in the normal state, the upper surface of the button body 351 as the effect operation unit 301 coincides with the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312 so as to form one sphere, so that the player It is possible to make it difficult for the effect operation unit 301 (button body 351) to be recognized as being operable, and the effect operation unit 300 made of a huge sphere allows the player to see other things at first glance. This pachinko machine can be recognized as a pachinko machine 1 different from the pachinko machine, can strongly attract the interest of the player, and can enhance the appeal to the player. It is possible to make it easier to select the machine 1.

Further, in the dish unit 200, since the center (center) of the effect operation unit 301 of the effect operation unit 300 is positioned in front of the apex of the spherical effect operation unit 300, the effect operation unit 301 (contact operation unit 302) The upper surface of the pressing operation unit 303) faces the head (face) of the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1.

At the same time, when the player participation type production is executed, the player can actively operate the production operation unit 301, and the operation of the production operation unit 301 is to entertain the player participation type production. The decrease can be suppressed.

Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the exterior of the door frame 3 of the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of circular or radial patterns on its outer surface. In FIG. 71, the door frame right side unit 430 is shown as an example as a part of the exterior of the door frame 3.

More specifically, as the exterior of the door frame 3, the plurality of circular and radial patterns applied to the outer surface are two colors using two types of synthetic resins having different colors and translucency (light transmittance). It is formed by molding. The patterned exterior portion of the door frame 3 is molded in two colors with two types of resins, the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b, and a part of the inner layer 3a penetrates the outer layer 3b. By appearing on the outer surface, a circular or radial pattern is formed.

For example, demonstrating the door frame right side unit 430 as an example, as shown in FIG. 71A, when the inner layer 3a is provided with a honeycomb pattern and the outer layer 3b is made opaque, the circular pattern portion is inside. The honeycomb-like pattern of the layer 3a can be seen, and the opaque outer layer 3b can be seen in the portion other than the pattern, and the exterior has an appearance in which the circular or radial pattern is emphasized.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 71 (b), when the outer layer 3b is made transparent, the honeycomb-like pattern applied to the inner layer 3a can be seen through the outer layer 3b, and is relatively circular. The radial pattern is hard to see. That is, the exterior has an appearance in which the honeycomb-like pattern applied to the inner layer 3a is emphasized.

In FIG. 71, in the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 molded in two colors as a part of the exterior, the decorative portion 441a fitted in the decorative hole 440a is used as a part of the right side right lens 441. Since it is a separate member different from the decorative body 440 on the right side of the door frame, the pattern of the decorative hole 440a (decorative portion 441a) does not change even if the outer layer 3b is transparent.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the main members constituting the exterior of the door frame 3 are formed by two-color molding, the materials used for the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b (synthesis). By appropriately selecting and combining the color of the resin), the light transmittance, and the like, the appearance can be significantly different even if the shape remains the same.

Therefore, for example, at the time of a minor change or the like, by making the outer layer 3b transparent so that the pattern of the inner layer 3a can be seen, the exterior of the pachinko machine 1 can be changed at no cost.

Alternatively, the colors of the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b are changed for each production lot, and the pachinko machines 1 of different lots are shipped to the same game hall and installed in the island equipment to make the player feel colorful. It is possible to increase the appealing power to.

In the above embodiment, two-color molding is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and multi-color molding such as three-color molding or four-color molding may be used. Specifically, in the above embodiment, the exterior is constructed by combining the right side right side decorative body 440 of the door frame molded in two colors with the right lens 441 on the right side, but the door is molded in three colors. The right side decorative body 440 on the right side of the frame and the right lens 441 on the right side may be integrally formed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, those in which a circular or radial pattern is formed are shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and patterns of various shapes may be formed.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the handle cover 295, the door frame left side base 421, and the door frame right side left side provided on the outside of the door window 101a in which the game area 5a in the door frame 3 faces forward. The decorative body such as the surface decorative body 438 and the right side right side decorative body 440 of the door frame are molded in two colors (multicolor molding) with two synthetic resins having different light transmission rates, and the decoration with a polka dot pattern is formed by the two color molding. Since the decorative body is formed into a desired shape at the same time, the desired decoration is applied to the decorative body. Therefore, the desired shape is obtained like the decorative body of a conventional pachinko machine. It is not necessary to apply the desired decoration by painting or the like after forming the door, and the labor required for the decoration can be omitted and the increase in cost can be suppressed.

Further, since the decoration of the decorative body is formed by two-color molding, the appearance (appearance) of the decorative body can be easily changed by changing the color of the synthetic resin used. More specifically, when the polka dot decoration is formed by two-color molding, the inner layer 3a forming the inside of the polka dot circle and the outer layer 3b forming the outside of the circle are each transmitted. When formed in the same color with different rates, the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b have the same color, so that the polka-dotted circles are difficult to see, and the appearance is such that the polka-dotted decoration is not applied. On the other hand, when the inner layer 3a forming the inside of the polka-dotted circle is white and the outer layer 3b forming the outside of the circle is pink, due to the difference in color between the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b. The polka-dotted circles are clearly visible, giving the appearance a pink background with white polka-dotted decoration. In this way, by appropriately selecting the light transmittance (including color) of the synthetic resin to be used when forming the decorative body, the appearance of the decorative body can be easily changed, and the appearance can be changed. The cost can be suppressed.

Further, as described above, the appearance of the decorative body can be easily changed by appropriately selecting the light transmittance (including color) of the synthetic resin to be used when forming the decorative body. If the combination of synthetic resins used for each lot is changed and different lots of this pachinko machine 1 are shipped to the same game hall and installed in a row at the island equipment, the island equipment will look colorful. Therefore, it is possible to give a strong impact to the player who is wandering in the game hall, and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 having a high appealing power that can attract the player.

Further, a handle cover 295 and a door frame left side base having a decoration molded in two colors by a plurality of synthetic resins having different light transmission rates on a portion outside the door window 101a in which the game area 5a of the door frame 3 faces forward. Since decorative bodies such as 421, the right side left side decorative body 438 of the door frame, and the right side right side decorative body 440 of the door frame are provided, the outside of the door window 101a should be decorated with the decorative body to improve the appearance. Can be done.

Further, since the outer layer 3b of the decorative body molded in two colors is formed of a synthetic resin having a lower light transmittance than the remaining inner layer 3a, it is possible to make the inner layer 3a difficult to see through the outer layer 3b. Therefore, the boundary of the decoration (polka dot pattern) composed of the inner layer 3a can be seen clearly, and the decoration can be clearly seen.

Further, since the light transmittance of the outer layer 3b is lower than that of the remaining inner layer 3a, the inner layer 3a can be made difficult to see through the outer layer 3b. Therefore, in the initial model, the outer layer 3b is transmitted through the light. As a low rate, the inner layer 3a is prevented from being seen through from the outside, and at the time of model change, a synthetic resin having a high light transmittance is used for the outer layer 3b so that the inner layer 3a can be seen through. As a result, the way of looking at the decoration of the decorative body can be greatly changed, and the appearance (decoration) can be easily changed without changing the shape of the decorative body.

Further, as described above, since the inner layer 3a can be made difficult to see by the outer layer 3b having low light transmittance, a pattern (pattern by shape, painting, printing, sticking of a seal, etc.) on the surface of the inner layer 3a In the initial model, the opaque outer layer 3b with low light transmittance prevents the pattern of the inner layer 3a from being seen through the outer layer 3b, and is transparent to the outer layer 3b at the time of model change. Since the pattern of the inner layer 3a can be seen through by using a synthetic resin, the appearance (decoration) of the decorative body can be significantly changed without changing the shape of the decorative body. , It is possible to suppress the increase in the cost of model change.

Further, inside the door frame right side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440, the third LED 432c of the door frame right side upper decorative board 432 and the door frame right side lower decorative board that can irradiate light Since the third LED 433c of 433 is provided and the inner layer 3a is made of a synthetic resin having a higher light transmission rate than the others, the door frame right side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body When the third LED 432c and the third LED 433c provided inside the 440 are made to emit light, the inside of the decorations formed on the surfaces of the door frame right side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440. The part of the layer 3a (the part of the polka dots) can be brightly decorated with light emission, and the outside of the door window 101a facing the game area 5a can be decorated with light emission to improve the appearance and to the player on the right side of the door frame. The light emitting decoration of the side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 can be enjoyed, and the deterioration of the player's interest can be suppressed.

Further, depending on the light transmittance of the outer layer 3b, the outer layer 3b can also be light-emitting and decorated by the light from the third LED 432c and the third LED 433c irradiated to the outer layer 3b through the inner layer 3a, so that the door frame is right. The entire side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 can be light-emitting decorated, and the door frame right side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 can be beautifully displayed for the game. It can be a highly appealing pachinko machine 1 that can strongly attract the attention of the person.

Further, as described above, the decoration of the decorative body such as the door frame right side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 is molded in two colors of a plurality of synthetic resins having different light transmittances (multicolor). Since it is formed by molding), LEDs (light emitting means) such as the third LED 432c and the third LED 433c are made to emit light depending on the number of layers to the surface and the difference in the light transmittance of the synthetic resin used. The decoration that can be seen when there is no light and the decoration that can be seen when the LED is lit can be made different, and the change in the decoration can strongly attract the interest of the player. More specifically, for example, when two-color molding is described as multi-color molding as an example, when a hole having a predetermined shape is formed in a portion of the inner layer 3a covered by the outer layer 3b, the LED is made to emit light. In the absence, only the surface-exposed portion of the inner layer 3a is visible. On the other hand, when the LED is made to emit light, the light from the LED is directly irradiated to the outer layer 3b without passing through the inner layer 3a at the portion where the hole is formed in the inner layer 3a, so that the surface of the outer layer 3b is inside. The shape of the hole in the layer 3a can be seen, and the portion of the inner layer 3a exposed on the surface and the portion of the hole can be seen, and the decoration different from that when the LED is not emitted can be seen. Alternatively, for example, when the inner layer 3a is yellow and the outer layer 3b is blue, when the LED is made to emit yellow light, only the portion of the inner layer 3a in the surface decoration is luminescently decorated. On the other hand, when the LED emits green light (or white), both the inner layer 3a portion and the outer layer 3b portion on the surface are luminescently decorated. Therefore, the luminescent decoration in the decorative body depends on the color of the light emitted by the LED. The part to be decorated can be changed, and the decoration to be luminescent can be changed. As described above, since the decoration of the decorative body can be changed by the light emission of the LED, the player's interest can be strongly attracted and the player can be entertained. In addition, by making the LED emit light according to the gaming state, the player can be given a chance or a change in the driving operation (for example, "right-handed") due to a change in the decoration of the decorative body. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 that can be suggested and can produce various effects.

Further, since the amount of protrusion in the front-rear direction of the door frame left side decorative body 426 and the door frame right side decorative body 435 provided on both the left and right outer sides of the door window 101a (gaming area 5a) is different. Since the impression (appearance) when the pachinko machine 1 is viewed from the front left and the front right can be different, the pachinko machine 1 is wandering around in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. Even if the player once passes in front of the pachinko machine 1, when the player approaches the pachinko machine 1 from the opposite side, the appearance is different from that at the time of the previous round trip, which attracts interest in the pachinko machine 1. It can be a highly appealing pachinko machine 1 that can be attached and can attract a player who is wandering in the game hall to select the pachinko machine 1 to be played. ..

It is provided with a plurality of through holes 502d arranged in a row in the direction.

The length of the connection cable guide member 502 in the left-right direction is slightly shorter than the length in the left-right direction of the cable mounting recess 501h of the main body frame base 501, and has a size that can be accommodated in the cable mounting recess 501h. It is formed. The connection cable guide member 502 is rotatably mounted around a shaft whose mounting shaft 502c extends vertically near the right end in the cable mounting recess 501h. As a result, the connection cable guide member 502 can be rotated (hinge rotation) so that the left end side protrudes forward.

The connection cable guide member 502 is for guiding the connection cable 503. The connection cable 503 is composed of a plurality of wiring cords, one end of which is connected to the interface board 635 of the board unit 620, and the other end of the door frame 3 is the door frame main relay board 104 and the door frame sub. It is connected to the relay board 105.

Subsequently, the action and effect of the connection cable guide member 502 will be described. As shown in FIG. 83 and the like, the connection cable guide member 502 has an end portion (right end portion) opposite to the side (left side) on which the door frame 3 is hinge-rotatably attached in the left-right direction with respect to the main body frame base 501. ) Is rotatably attached around an axis extending parallel to the hinge axis of the door frame 3.

It is attached to the guide main body 502a by being tightened together with the guide main body 502a by a binding band 504 inserted through a set of through holes 502d at the same position.

The connection cable guide member 502 of the main body frame 4 is assembled in the pachinko machine 1 and the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4. Behind the door frame main relay board 104 and the door frame sub-relay board 105 of the door frame 3. It is located in (see FIG. 83 (a)). In this state, the connection cable 503 extends to the left from the connection cable guide member 502, is then bent back in front of the lower hinge mounting portion 501l, passes through the cable holder 103a of the door frame 3, and covers the door frame relay board. It extends into 107. The cable holder 103a of the door frame 3 is arranged to the left of the left end of the connection cable guide member 502.

In this state, when the door frame 3 is hinged to open with respect to the main body frame 4, the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 is pulled forward by the side of the connection cable 503 attached to the door frame 3. The connection cable guide member 502 rotates about the rightmost mounting shaft 502c. At this time, in the present embodiment, the relationship between the opening angle α of the door frame 3 and the opening angle β of the connecting cable guide member 502 satisfies α / 2 ≧ β (preferably α / 3 ≧ β). (See FIG. 83 (b)).

The opening angle β of the connecting cable guide member 502 is 0 degrees when the door frame 3 is closed (when the opening angle α of the door frame 3 is 0 degrees). The opening angle β of the connecting cable guide member 502 increases as the opening angle α increases when the door frame 3 is opened, but the increase stops when the opening angle α becomes larger than a certain level (for example, about 90 degrees).

In this way, when the door frame 3 is opened, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates so that the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 moves forward of the main body frame base 501, so that the connection cable guide member 502 By guiding the connection cable 503, it is possible to prevent the connection cable 503 from hanging between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4.

When the open door frame 3 is closed, the portion of the connection cable 503 attached to the door frame 3 moves relatively rearward, so that the connection cable 503 presses the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 rearward. Then, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates about the mounting shaft 502c so that the left end side moves rearward. At this time, since the connecting cable guide member 502 is opened at an opening angle β of less than 45 degrees, the connecting cable guide member 502 does not hinder the movement of the door frame 3 in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 is opened. It can be closed smoothly. Further, since the connection cable 503 is guided by the connection cable guide member 502, the connection cable 503 is not sandwiched between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4 when the door frame 3 is closed, and the connection cable 503 is not sandwiched between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4. It is possible to prevent a problem from occurring in the door.

You can make a habit. As a result, when the door frame 3 is opened and the portion of the connecting cable 503 that is folded 180 degrees is changed to open, a force that tries to close the connecting cable 503 due to the folding habit acts. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is closed, it is possible to prevent the connection cable 503 (connection cable guide member 502) from moving in the opening direction due to the bending habit, and the connection cable 503 (connection cable guide member 502) is closed. It can be guided in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be closed smoothly.

Further, on the door frame 3 side, the folded connection cable 503 is placed closer to the central axis (axis core) of the hinge pin 122 above the door frame and the hinge pin 126 below the door frame than the tip of the connection cable guide member 502. When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connection cable 503 held by the cable holder 103a causes the tip end side of the connection cable guide member 502 to be held by the hinge pin 122 on the door frame and the hinge pin 122 on the door frame. It can be pulled toward the central axis (axis core) side of the hinge pin 126 under the door frame.

Further, in the present embodiment, the door passes through the rotation center of the connection cable guide member 502, is centered on the central axis (axis core) of the hinge pin 122 above the door frame and the hinge pin 126 below the door frame, and is more door than the cable holder 103a in the speaker duct 103. The angle at which the tangent line in contact with the circle passing through the portion (pressing portion) protruding rearward on the central axis (axis core) side of the upper hinge pin 122 and the lower hinge pin 126 of the door frame intersects with the front surface of the main body frame 4 is 45 degrees. It is configured as follows. As a result, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the pressing portion abuts on the connection cable 503, thereby closing the tip end side of the connection cable guide member 502 that is open via the connection cable 503. Since it can be pressed in the direction, the connecting cable guide member 502 can be smoothly closed as the door frame 3 moves in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be reliably closed. Further, since the maximum opening angle β of the connection cable guide member 502 that rotates (opens and closes) with the opening and closing of the door frame 3 can be set to 45 degrees or less, the connection cable guide member 502 is used when the door frame 3 is closed. Can be reliably rotated in the closing direction, and the same effects as described above can be obtained.

It is provided with a ball pulling lever 593 that is slidably attached in the vertical direction by the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582.

The payout device 580 is formed in a quadrangle whose plan view shape extends vertically. The width of the payout device 580 in the left-right direction is formed to be larger to the right in the front view than the width in the left-right direction of the ball guidance unit 570.

As shown in FIG. 88, the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 has an upstream end opening upward from the center in the left-right direction to the left and a downstream end near the right end in the left-right direction. It opens downward. The payout passage 580a extends diagonally downward from the top to a height of about 1/3 of the total height so as to gradually move to the left from the upstream end, and then bends slightly diagonally downward to the right. It bends at about 1/3 of the left and right width and extends substantially vertically downward toward the center (rotation axis) of the payout blade 589. Then, above the center of the payout blade 589, after bending to the right in the rear view with a width slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B, a gap slightly larger than the game ball B is provided between the payout blade 589 and the outer circumference. It extends downward in an arc shape concentric with the payout blade 589 so as to form, and then extends vertically downward to the downstream end at a position on the right side of the rear view from the center of the payout blade 589.

In the payout passage 580a, the payout detection sensor 591 is arranged below the payout blade 589 and directly above the downstream end.

The ball-extracting passage 580b branches at a portion of the payout passage 580a that extends diagonally downward from the upstream end and bends to the right, and extends vertically to the lower end along the left side of the rear view. It opens downward near the left end.

The payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 face each other on the side where the ball pulling movable piece 592 is attached at the portion where the payout passage 580a and the ball pulling passage 580b are branched, and the outer diameter of the game ball B is opposed to each other. The main body side guide wall 581a is formed so as to project rearward and forward from each so as to form a narrower gap, and to be continuous with the left side wall in the rear view of the payout passage 580a and the ball ejection passage 580b, respectively. And a rear lid side guide wall 582a is provided. The main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a are rear view of the portion extending to the right side of the rear view at a height of about 1/3 from the top branching from the ball ejection passage 580b in the payout passage 580a. It is formed in the left position. The main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a are curved so as to be recessed diagonally upward to the left in the rear view, and are mainly formed to form a side wall of the ball pulling passage 580b. The ball pulling movable piece 592 rotates between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a.

The payout motor 584 is attached to the right side of the rear view of the portion of the payout device main body 581 where the payout passage 580a extends diagonally downward from the upstream end. The drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the payout gear member 588 are arranged in front of the payout device main body 581, and the front side is covered with the payout device front lid 583. The payout gear member 588 is provided with three flat plate-shaped detection pieces 588b extending outward at intervals of an angle of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction.

The payout blade 589 is arranged between the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582. The payout blade 589 is provided with a plurality of blade pieces 589a extending outward in a flat plate shape at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. The blade piece 589a is narrower than the outer diameter of the game ball B at a portion of the payout passage 580a extending from above toward the rotation axis and then extending to the right in the rear view. In addition, it protrudes into the payout passage 580a. The payout blade 589 includes a ball accommodating portion 589b recessed between the three blade pieces 589a by an arc having a radius younger than the radius of the game ball B toward the center. Only one game ball B can be accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b. As a result, the payout blade 589 can be restricted from moving the game ball B in the payout passage 580a to the downstream side of the payout blade 589 by the blade piece 589a, and is rotated in the clockwise direction in the rear view. As a result, the game ball B accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b can be moved to the downstream side.

The payout gear member 588 and the payout blade 589 are coaxially and integrally rotatably attached by the payout device rear lid 582 and the payout device front lid 583. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 is arranged on the left side of the rotation shaft of the payout gear member 588 when viewed from the rear. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 is for detecting the rotation of the payout blade 589 by detecting the detection piece 588b of the payout gear member 588 that rotates integrally with the payout blade 589.

The ball pulling movable piece 592 is rotatably attached around an axis extending back and forth at the upper ends of the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. The ball-extracting movable piece 592 is bent in a dogleg shape, and is attached so that the recessed side faces the inside of the payout passage 580a. The ball-extracting movable piece 592 is formed so that the depth in the front-rear direction is smaller than the gap between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. Through the gap between them, it is possible to project into the ball-extracting passage 580b or retreat to the outside of the ball-extracting passage 580b.

The ball pulling lever 593 is attached to the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction on the left side of the rear view near the upper end of the ball pulling movable piece 592. A part of the ball pulling lever 593 penetrates the rear lid 582 of the payout device and protrudes rearward, and can be slid by operating the protruding portion. By locating the ball pulling lever 593 at the descending end, the lower part can come into contact with the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the rotation of the ball pulling movable piece 592 in the clockwise direction in the rear view can be restricted. The ball pulling passage 580b can be closed by the ball pulling movable piece 592. Further, by locating the ball pulling lever 593 at the rising end, the ball pulling movable piece 592 can be rotated to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b, and the ball pulling passage 580b can be opened (FIG. FIG. See 89).

When the ball pulling lever 593 is raised to make the ball pulling movable piece 592 rotatable, the game ball B, which has been in a state like a string of beads on the upstream side of the ball pulling movable piece 592, becomes a ball pulling movable piece 592. It will flow down to the ball pulling passage 580b side beyond the above. At this time, since the ball ejection passage 580b extends straight from the upstream side of the payout passage 580a, the game ball B flowing down from the upstream side of the payout passage 580a flows straight down to the ball ejection passage 580b side. At the same time, since the downstream side of the ball ejection passage 580b communicates with the island equipment side, there is no such thing as the payout blade 589 that suppresses the flow of the game ball B, so that the game ball B is from the payout passage 580a side. Will flow down quickly.

In this way, in the state where the ball pulling movable piece 592 can be rotated, the game ball B flows down in the ball pulling passage 580b at a high speed, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 projecting into the ball pulling passage 580b. The game ball B vigorously abuts on the lower end side of the ball, but the ball pulling movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a of the payout device main body 581 and the rear lid side guide wall 582a of the payout device rear lid 582. Since it is possible to move to the outside of the inner surface of the ball pulling passage 580b, the ball pulling movable piece 592 moves to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b due to the contact force, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 is a ball. It is not sandwiched between the wall surface of the drawing passage 580b and the game ball B, and the game ball B can prevent a strong force from acting on the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the ball can be pulled out by the collision of the game ball B. It is possible to suppress a decrease in durability and damage of the piece 592.

For this reason, the movable ball-extracting piece 592 can be made less likely to be damaged, and more game balls B can be discharged to the island equipment side on the downstream side of the ball-extracting passage 580b more quickly. It is possible to suppress an increase in the time required for replacement and maintenance of the machine 1, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side.

Further, when the ball pulling movable piece 592 is in a rotatable state, the ball pulling movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a at a narrower interval than the game ball B, and the ball pulling passage 580b. In order to move to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b, the ball pulling movable piece 592 comes into contact with the ball pulling movable piece 592 protruding into the ball pulling passage 580b, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 becomes a main body side guide wall 581a and a rear lid side guide wall 582a. Even if the game ball B moves to the side between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a together with the ball pulling movable piece 592 when moving outward through the space, the space is larger than that of the game ball B. Only the game ball B can be prevented from moving outward due to the narrow space between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a.

Then, the movement of the game ball B to the outside is blocked by the space between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, so that the game ball B is separated from the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the subsequent ball. Since the movement of the movable ball-pulling piece 592 is due to the inertial force, a strong force does not act on the movable ball-pulling piece 592, and the movable ball-pulling piece 592 can be made hard to be damaged, and the guide on the main body side. The game ball B does not jump out of the ball pulling passage 580b from between the wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the game ball B can be reliably distributed to the downstream side of the ball pulling passage 580b.

[4-7c. Upper full tank path unit]

In this state, the game balls B in the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b cannot move forward from their respective front end openings. As a result, even if the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, the game ball B does not spill from the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b.

[4-7e. Flow of game ball B in the payout unit]
Subsequently, the flow of the game ball B in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. 91. FIG. 91 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of the game ball in the main body frame. The payout unit 560 is attached to the rear surface of the payout base 551 when assembled on the main body frame 4. In a normal state, the ball pulling lever 593 of the payout device 580 is located at the descending end, and the ball pulling passage 580b branching from the payout passage 580a is closed at the branch portion. Further, in the lower full tank path unit 610, the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is in the open state.

In the ball tank 552 opened upward, a predetermined number is set based on the detection of the ball out by the ball out of ball detection sensor 574 of the ball guidance unit 570, for example, from the game hall island facility in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed. The game ball B is supplied. The game balls B supplied and stored in the ball tank 552 are sent into the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 through the guide passage 570a of the ball guide unit 570 in a state of being aligned in a row by the tank rail 553. When the payout motor 584 is not rotating, the game ball B cannot move (flow down) to the downstream side of the payout blade 589, and a plurality of game balls B stay on the upstream side of the payout blade 589. It becomes.

Then, the game ball B in the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 presses the movable piece member 573, and the ball cutting detection sensor 574 detects the movable piece member 573. From this, it can be seen that the game ball B is stored in the passage between at least the movable piece member 573 and the payout blade 589.

In this state, when the payout blade 589 is rotated in the rear view clockwise direction by the payout motor 584, the game ball B housed in the ball accommodating portion 589b moves in the rear view clockwise direction, and the payout blade 580a in the payout passage 580a is moved. It is released to the downstream side of 589. Then, the game ball B released from the payout blade 589 (ball accommodating portion 589b) is sent to the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a of the upper full tank ball path unit 600 after being detected by the payout detection sensor 591.

The game ball B sent to the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a of the upper full tank path unit 600 is arranged directly under the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a through the upper ball storage passage 600b in a normal state. It flows down to the upper normal payout passage 600c. Then, the game ball B that has flowed down into the upper normal payout passage 600c passes through the lower normal payout passage 610a of the lower full tank path unit 610 and the through ball passage 150a of the foul cover unit 150 of the door frame 3, and the plate unit 200. Is discharged from the upper plate ball supply port 211a of the plate unit base 211 into the upper plate 201.

When a large number of game balls B are paid out from the payout device 580 and the inside of the upper plate 201 is filled with the game balls B, the game balls B cannot be discharged forward from the upper plate ball supply port 211a, so that the payout device The game ball B paid out from the 580 stays in the lower normal payout passage 610a of the lower full tank path unit 610, and when the game ball B is further paid out, the lower normal payout passage 610a and the upstream side It will also stay in the upper normal payout passage 600c of the upper full tank path unit 600 that communicates. Then, when the game ball B is further discharged while the upper normal payout passage 600c is filled with the game ball B, the upper ball storage passage 600b communicating with the upper normal payout passage 600c is filled. As the game ball B begins to stay, the game ball B begins to flow down to the upper full tank payout passage 600d adjacent to the upper normal payout passage 600c.

Then, the game ball B that has flowed down to the upper full tank payout passage 600d passes through the lower full tank payout passage 610b of the lower full tank path unit 610, and the full tank receiver 150b in the foul cover unit 150 of the door frame 3 Can be received by. After that, the game ball B received by the full tank ball receiving port 150b is discharged into the lower plate 202 through the storage passage 150e, the ball discharge port 150d, and the lower plate ball supply port 211c of the plate unit base 211. As a result, when the upper plate 201 is filled with the game ball B and the game ball B is further paid out, the game ball B can be automatically paid out to the lower plate 202.

When the lower plate 202 is filled with the game ball B and the game ball B cannot be discharged forward from the lower plate ball supply port 211c, the lower plate B is further paid out. The game ball B is retained and stored in the storage passage 150e of the foul cover unit 150 on the upstream side of the ball supply port 211c. When a certain number of game balls B are stored in the storage passage 150e, the movable piece 153 moves and is detected by the full tank detection sensor 154, and the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 are filled with the game balls B ( The player is notified by voice (for example, "Please pull out the ball!") That the tank is full, and the payout motor 584 of the payout device 580 is in a state where the full tank detection sensor 154 is not detected. Temporarily stop until.

When the game ball B stored in the ball tank 552 is discharged from the pachinko machine 1 during maintenance or replacement of the pachinko machine 1, the ball pulling lever 593 of the payout device 580 is moved upward from the position of the lowering end. Slide it to the position of the rising end. After that, the lower end side of the ball pulling movable piece 592 is pushed by the game ball B and rotates in the clockwise direction in the rear view, and the ball pulling movable piece 592 becomes the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. It is in a state of being pushed out to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b through the space. As a result, the game ball B can enter the ball removal passage 580b branching from the payout passage 580a, and the game ball B on the upstream side is discharged downward through the ball removal passage 580b.

At this time, at the portion of the ball pulling movable piece 592, the flowing game ball B comes into contact with the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a more strongly than the ball pulling movable piece 592, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 Is hard to break.

Then, the game ball B discharged downward from the ball pulling passage 580b of the payout device 580 passes through the upper ball pulling passage 600e of the upper full tank path unit 600 and the lower ball pulling passage 610c of the lower full ball path unit 610. After being discharged from the downstream end opening of the lower ball ejection passage 610c to the ball ejection guiding portion 627 of the substrate unit 620, it passes through the ejection ball receiving portion 628 and the ball ejection port 629 to the rear outside (game hole) of the pachinko machine 1. It is discharged to the island facility side).

The space front recess 621b, which is recessed so as to bulge from the rear to the front on the right side of the view, and the space front recess 621b, which protrudes downward from the lower surface and extends in the left-right direction, diagonally downward and backward. It is provided with an open connection portion 621c.

The main body frame speaker 622 is attached to the speaker mounting portion 621a of the speaker cover 621 from the rear side toward the front. Further, the connection portion 621c of the speaker cover 621 is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees so that the lower end coincides with the upper end of the connection cylinder portion 43a of the curtain plate rear member 43 in the outer frame lower assembly 40 of the outer frame 2. .. The main body frame speaker 622 is a cone-type speaker that mainly outputs bass.

The speaker box 623 is formed in a container shape that is open to the front, and the portion on the rear side of the main body frame speaker 622 protrudes most rearward, and as it goes to the right in the front view, it steps backward in a stepped manner. It is formed so that the protrusion of the speaker is small. As a result, a sufficient space behind the center of the front view of the speaker box 623 can be secured, and the base unit 620b, the power supply unit 620c, and the like can be arranged. The speaker box 623 is formed so as to cover (close) the entire rear surface of the speaker cover 621 except for the connecting portion 621c.

The speaker unit 620a is formed by a speaker cover 621 and a speaker box 623 as a part of an enclosure 624 for containing the sound output rearward from the main body frame speaker 622. Since the enclosure 624 is formed with a front recess 621b for space that bulges forward to the right of the front view of the speaker mounting portion 621a in the speaker cover 621, the speaker box 623 projects rearward as it moves to the right.

Further, the ball tank 552 has an overflow portion 552f which is notched from above in the front wall 552b and is formed lower than the remaining outer peripheral upper end edge. The overflow portion 552f has a length of about 3/4 of the lateral length of the front wall 552b from the end side of the left side wall 552d of the front wall 552b toward the end on the opposite side (right side wall 552e side). It is formed over the length.

In front view, the right end side (upstream side) of the tank rail 553 communicates with the inside of the ball tank 552, and the downstream side extends to one side (left side) in the left-right direction so as to move away from the ball tank 552. .. The tank rail 553 has a gutter-shaped main guide portion 553a that extends from the vicinity of the upstream to the downstream end at the bottom and is formed so that only one game ball B can be distributed in the width direction orthogonal to the distribution direction of the game ball B. Have. The main guide portion 553a is inclined so as to be lowered toward the left side of the front view. Further, in the plan view, the main guide portion 553a extends from the right end to a position of about 1/10 of the total length in the left-right direction in parallel with the axis extending in the left-right direction from the right end side, and then moves to the left. It is formed in a crank shape that extends diagonally from the right end to a position of about 4/10 of the total length in the left-right direction so as to move backward as it goes toward it, and extends parallel to the axis line extending in the left-right direction to the left end. .. In the tank rail 553, a portion of the main guide portion 553a extending parallel to the axis extending from the left end to the right in the left-right direction extends to the upper end with the same width, and the first rail extends to the upper end of this portion. The upper side is closed by attaching the cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball rectifying member 556. Further, the tank rail 553 is formed so that the height of the flow path through which the game ball B flows decreases toward the downstream end (left end) at the portion where the upper side is closed, and the game ball B at the downstream end. Is formed at a height at which only one can be distributed (a height slightly higher than the outer diameter of the game ball B).

Further, the tank rail 553 extends above the main guide portion 553a from the upstream end to a portion where the upper side is closed, and the main game balls B are arranged in the width direction orthogonal to the distribution direction of the game balls B. It has a bulging portion 553b that bulges wider than the width of the guiding portion 553a and narrows in the width direction from the upstream end toward the downstream side so as to match the width of the main guiding portion 553a. There is. With this bulging portion 553b, a plurality of game balls B that have spread in the width direction on the upstream side can be aligned so that the width direction becomes the width of one game ball B toward the downstream side. Further, the bulging portion 553b is formed so that the width direction becomes narrower from the upper end side toward the lower main guiding portion 553a. Therefore, the tank rail 553 can align the plurality of game balls B circulating in the bulging portion 553b so that the width directions are aligned in the downstream side and the downward side.

The bulging portion 553b of the tank rail 553 has the center of curvature arranged on the inner side, and is formed in a three-dimensionally curved shape. Since the center of the curved curvature of the bulging portion 553b is arranged above the main guiding portion 553a, the tank rail 553 is slightly at the boundary between the main guiding portion 553a and the bulging portion 553b. Chamfered corners are formed. Further, the bulging portion 553b is formed to have a larger curvature on the downstream side than on the upstream side. For this reason, in the game ball B flowing through the three-dimensionally curved bulging portion 553b, the direction in which the reaction force from the bulging portion 553b side acts depends on the position of the bulging portion 553b that abuts. It changes in various directions, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of ball shavings in the bulging portion 553b. More specifically, when the bulging portion 553b is formed into a shape that extends constantly, a reaction force always acts in a constant direction from the inner surface of the bulging portion 553b on the game ball B circulating in the bulging portion 553b. This makes it difficult for the reaction force to be dispersed. Therefore, the internal game ball B is always pushed in a certain direction, so that the game ball B is difficult to escape and ball clogging (ball shaving) is likely to occur. On the other hand, since the bulging portion 553b has a three-dimensional curved surface, the direction of the reaction force acting from the inner surface of the bulging portion 553b varies depending on the position of the game ball B. By dispersing the pushing directions of the plurality of game balls B, the pushed game balls B can be easily escaped, and ball clogging (ball shavings) can be less likely to occur.

Further, the tank rail 553 is made of a transparent material and is configured so that the inside can be visually recognized from the outside. As a result, even if a ball jam (ball gummy) occurs in the tank rail 553, the state of the game ball B in the tank rail 553 can be seen from the outside, so that the location where the ball is jammed can be quickly identified. can do. Therefore, since the ball clogging in the tank rail 553 can be quickly cleared, the interruption of the game due to the occurrence of the ball clogging can be shortened as much as possible, and the player's interest in the game due to the interruption of the game. The decrease can be suppressed. Further, since the tank rail 553 is made transparent, the rear side (back unit 3000) of the game board 5 attached to the main body frame 4 can be visually recognized from the rear through the tank rail 553, so that the game board 5 can be visually recognized. When a movable defect occurs in the movable production unit or the like, the status of the transmission mechanism such as the drive motor, gears and belts can be checked with the game board 5 attached to the main body frame 4, and the same as above. Can produce the effects of.

The main body frame 4 is provided on the front side of the ball tank 552, extends in the front-rear direction, and the same side (left side in the front view) as the downstream side of the tank rail 553 in the left-right direction is outside the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552. In order to return the game ball B, which extends to the left (left) and overflows forward from the ball tank 552, to the ball tank 552, the rear end side is inclined so as to be the same height as the overflow portion 552f and the front end side is higher. It extends rearward from the outside of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 at the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501 m and the overflow surface portion 501 m to the upper side of the bulging portion 553b where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is open, and the rear end side is low. A part of the game ball B that overflows from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m because it is tilted so that the side (left side) away from the ball tank 552 is lowered in the left-right direction. It is equipped with a detour passage 552 g for guiding the vehicle.

Further, the main body frame 4 is provided on the side opposite to the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 on both outer sides of the detour passage 552 g in the left-right direction, and the distance in the left-right direction is wider than the outer diameter of the game ball B and the bottom surface. Is provided at a position lower than the overflow surface portion 501 m on the opposite side of the detour passage 552 g between the discharge portion 551j and the discharge portion 551j whose height is lower than the portion where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is open. It covers the upper side of the external terminal plate 558 having a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a to which electrical wiring can be connected from the rear and the plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a (external terminal plate 558), and the upper surface overflows. It is provided with a terminal cover 551k that extends horizontally at a position higher than the surface portion 501m.

The overflow surface portion 501 m is formed on the main body frame base 501. The overflow surface portion 501 m is a flat plate from a position as low as 2 to 4 times the outer diameter of the game ball B from the upper side on the rear surface of the base body 501a, which is formed in a rectangular shape with a front view extending vertically. It extends like a rectangle. The overflow surface portion 501 m is formed so that the length in the left-right direction is about 1/3 of the length in the left-right direction of the main body frame base 501, and the left end in the front view is from the left end of the main body frame base 501. It is located to the right of 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction. The height of the overflow surface portion 501 m from the front end to the rear end is formed to be about ½ of the outer diameter of the game ball B. In the overflow surface portion 501 m, a gap having a distance of about twice the outer diameter of the game ball B is formed between the main body frame 4 and the outer frame upper member 30 in a state where the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. ..

The main body frame base 501 is arranged on both the left and right sides of the overflow surface portion 501 m, and has a flat plate-shaped left step portion 501n and a right step portion 501o extending substantially horizontally at the same height as the front end of the overflow surface portion 501 m. On both outer sides of the left-stage portion 501n and the right-stage portion 501o in the left-right direction, the upper ends are higher than those of the left-stage portion 501n and the right-stage portion 501o and extend in a strip-like shape in the front-rear direction, and the outside of the game ball B in the left-right direction. It has a plurality of ribs 501p, which are arranged in rows at intervals narrower than the diameter. The left step portion 501n is formed so that the length in the left-right direction is shorter than the length in the front-rear direction. Further, the left step portion 501n is inclined so that the right corner at the rear end is slightly lower than the horizontal plane in the front view. The right-stage portion 501o is formed to have a longer length in the left-right direction than a length in the front-rear direction. Further, the right step portion 501o is inclined so that the left corner at the rear end is slightly lower than the horizontal plane in the front view.

The plurality of ribs 501p of the main body frame base 501 are formed higher than the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k, and when the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the lower surface of the outer frame upper member 30 of the outer frame 2 is formed. The gap between the ball and the ball B is formed at a height that is narrower than the outer diameter of the game ball B.

When the main body frame base 501 is assembled to the main body frame 4, the right end of the overflow surface portion 501 m coincides with the right end of the overflow portion 552f in the ball tank 552 in the left-right direction in the front view, and the overflow surface portion 501 m. The left end of the detour passage 552g coincides with the left end in the left-right direction, and the right end of the right step portion 501o coincides with the right end wall 552e of the ball tank 552 in the left-right direction.

The detour passage 552 g is integrally formed with the ball tank 552. In the following, the container-shaped region surrounded by the bottom wall 552a, the front wall 552b, the rear wall 552c, the left side wall 552d, and the right side wall 552e is also simply referred to as a ball tank 552. The detour passage 552g extends from the outside of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 to the left in a flat plate shape, and the front end is the same height as the overflow portion 552f and the rear end is inclined so as to be low. And a weir portion extending upward from the end side of the passage surface 552h opposite to the left side wall 552d to the same height as the left side wall 552d. Regarding the rear end side of the passage surface 552h of the detour passage 552g, the left end side (weir portion 552i side) of the rear end side extends rearward to the same position as the rear wall 552c of the ball tank 552 in front view, and the left end side thereof. It extends diagonally so as to move forward toward the right end side. The passage surface 552h of the detour passage 552g may be inclined in the left-right direction horizontally.

The detour passage 552g is assembled on the main body frame 4 so that the rear end of the tank rail 553 extending in a crank shape in the left-right direction is along the front end side of the portion extending diagonally in the left-right direction. It is extending. That is, the rear end of the detour passage 552 g extends diagonally in the left-right direction. As a result, the game ball B guided backward by the detour passage 552 g changes so that its distribution direction is perpendicular to the oblique rear end from the oblique rear end. The diagonally extending rear end of the detour passage 552g extends substantially parallel to the diagonally extending portion of the tank rail 553 (the distribution direction of the game ball B in the tank rail 553). Therefore, since the game ball B is discharged from the rear end of the detour passage 552 g in a direction substantially perpendicular to the distribution direction (width direction) of the tank rail 553, the detour passage 552 g is discharged at a wide portion of the tank rail 553. You can receive the game ball B from. Further, since the game ball B is supplied from the detour passage 552 g into the tank rail 553 in a direction substantially perpendicular (perpendicular direction) to the distribution direction of the game ball B, the tank rail by the game ball B from the detour passage 552 g. It is possible to make it difficult for ball clogging in 553 to occur.

Since the rear end of the detour passage 552g extends diagonally in the left-right direction so as to move backward toward the downstream side of the tank rail 553, the game ball B moves from the detour passage 552g to the tank rail 553 side. When released, the diagonally extending rear end allows the game ball B to be discharged to the upstream side, which is wider than the downstream side, where the width of the tank rail 553 is narrower. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of ball shavings in the tank rail 553 by discharging it to a wide part of the tank rail.

Further, the portion for guiding the game ball B by the detour passage 552g corresponds to the rear portion of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 and the outside of the left portion in the front view of the rear wall 552c in the tank rail 553. A game ball B that goes under the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 (the ceiling side of the opening 552k) is distributed from the inside of the ball tank 552 to this portion. For this reason, at the portion of the tank rail 553 behind the detour passage 552 g, the height of the plurality of game balls B stacked in the vertical direction is the height of the ceiling of the opening 552 k (the wall of the tank rail 553). Height) will not be exceeded. Therefore, on the downstream side of the ball tank 552 in the tank rail 553, that is, on the rear end side of the detour passage 552 g, it is possible to secure a space (vacant space) in which the game balls B can be stacked upward, so that the detour passage 552 g The game ball B guided to the rear can be reliably received by the tank rail 553, and the game ball B does not spill backward from the tank rail 553.

The ball tank 552 has a flat plate shape extending to the right from a position slightly lower than the overflow portion 552f on the left side wall 552d on the inside surrounded by the front wall 552b, the rear wall 552c, and the left side wall 552d. It has a guide surface portion 552j. The guide surface portion 552j extends in the front-rear direction from the front wall 552b to the rear wall 552c. Further, the guide surface portion 552j has a right end side in the front view from a position of about 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction of the front wall 552b from the left end of the front wall 552b in the left-right direction from the left end of the front wall 552b to the front wall 552b. Approximately 1/9 of the total length extends diagonally backward from the front wall 552b to a position near about 1/2 of the total length in the front-rear direction of the left side wall 552d, and then extends parallel to the left side wall 552d to the vicinity of the rear wall 552c. From there, it is formed in a shape parallel to the rear wall 552c with a constant width in the front-rear direction and extending from the left end of the rear wall 552c to a position of about 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction of the rear wall 552c.

In the ball tank 552, in a plan view, a straight line connecting the right end side of the guide surface portion 552j formed in the above shape, the end of the right end side on the front wall 552b side, and the end on the rear wall 552c side. The region surrounded by and has an opening 552k formed so as to penetrate in the vertical direction. Further, the ball tank 552 is a flat plate-shaped flange extending laterally outwardly and vertically on the same surface as the front wall 552b on the front end side of the right side wall 552e and the front end side of the weir portion 552i of the detour passage 552 g, respectively. It has a portion 552 liters. In the ball tank 552, the height of the upper end edge of the front wall 552b excluding the overflow portion 552f and the upper end edge of the two flange portions 552l is the upper end edge of the left side wall 552d and the rear wall 552c (main body frame base 501). It is formed higher than the left step portion 501n and the upper surface of the right step portion 501o).

When the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 are assembled from each other, the upstream end (right end in the front view) of the tank rail 553 is connected to the opening 552k of the ball tank 552. Further, in a plan view, the diagonally extending portion of the tank rail 553 extending in the left-right direction in a crank shape and the portion extending straight in the left-right direction on the left side thereof are located rearward (protruding) from the ball tank 552. )doing. The rear end side of the detour passage 552g on the left side of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 is located at the front end of the diagonally extending portion of the tank rail 553 extending in the left-right direction in a crank shape.

The discharge portion 551j is formed on the upper surface of the payout base 551. In the state of being assembled to the main body frame 4, the discharge portion 551j is in the ball tank 552 so as to step backward from a height lower than the detour passage 552 g to the same height as the bottom wall 552a of the ball tank 552. After extending backward from the rear side of the flange portion 552l on the left side of the front view to the tank rail 553, a position higher than the upper end of the tank rail 553 to the left along the tank rail 553 (center in the left-right direction of the second rail cover 555). It extends to a nearby position) and then extends backward.

The external terminal plate 558 is attached with a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a arranged side by side in the left-right direction on the rear surface. The electric wire connection terminal 558a is a one-touch terminal in which the grip portion can be opened by operating the lever to grip the tip of the electric wiring. The external terminal plate 558 is arranged in front of the portion closed by the first rail cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball rectifying member 556 on the upper side of the tank rail 553 in the state of being assembled to the main body frame 4. .. The terminal cover 551k that covers the upper side of the external terminal plate 558 (a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a) is formed on the upper surface of the payout base 551. The upper surface of the terminal cover 551k is formed at substantially the same height as the upper end of the flange portion 552l of the ball tank 552.

Next, the action and effect of the upper part of the main body frame 4 in the pachinko machine 1 will be described. First, the overflow surface portion 501m, the left step portion 501n, the right step portion 501o, and the detour passage 552g are such that the overflow surface portion 501m and the detour passage 552g are lower on the rear end side as shown by the white arrows in FIG. The left-stage portion 501n is inclined so that the rear end right corner is lowered, and the right-stage portion 501o is inclined so that the rear end left corner is lowered. Further, the bottom wall 552a and the tank rail 553 (main guide portion 553a) of the ball tank 552 are inclined so that the left end side is lower in the front view. Further, the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 is inclined so that the right end side in the direction opposite to the bottom wall 552a is lower.

Then, when the amount of the game ball B stored in the ball tank 552 increases due to the supply from the island equipment, first of all, the overflow portion 552f, which is the lowest of the uppermost edges of the outer circumference, is exceeded. It can flow out to the outside (front) of the ball tank 552, and the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 can escape to the overflow surface portion 501 m, and also flow out from the ball tank 552 to the front overflow surface portion 501 m. The game ball B can be returned to the ball tank 552 by tilting the overflow surface portion 501 m (see FIG. 103). Therefore, since it is possible to prevent the game balls B from further increasing in the ball tank 552, it is possible to suppress the strong pressing of the game balls B against each other (increase in the ball pressure) in the ball tank 552. , It is possible to prevent the occurrence of clogging (so-called ball shavings) due to the engagement of the game balls B in the ball tank 552.

Further, since the detour passage 552 g is provided, as shown in FIG. 104, the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m can be sent to the tank rail 553 via the detour passage 552 g. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B accumulated in the overflow surface portion 501 m from exerting a strong rearward pressing force on the game ball B in the ball tank 552, and the game ball B in the ball tank 552 is clogged. Can be prevented. Further, since the game ball B can be sent to the tank rail 553 via the detour passage 552 g, the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 and the overflow surface portion 501 m can be prevented from spilling to the outside (rear side) of the main body frame 4. Can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a problem that the game ball B spilled on the outside of the main body frame 4 is sandwiched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 and the main body frame 4 cannot be opened or closed.

Further, a part of the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m can be guided to the downstream side of the tank rail 553 by the detour passage 552 g, and along the left side away from the ball tank 552. Since the game ball B can be sent to the tank rail 553 from a fixed position, the flow (pressure) of the game ball B sent to the tank rail 553 by the detour passage 552 g can be directed to the downstream side of the tank rail 553. , It is possible to prevent the game balls B from being clogged by suppressing the strong pressing of the game balls B against each other in the tank rail 553.

Further, since the height of the remaining upper end edge other than the overflow portion 552f is higher than that of the overflow portion 552f at the outer peripheral upper end edge of the ball tank 552, the ball between the ball tank 552 and the detour passage 552g. The upper end edge of the left side wall 552d on one side in the left-right direction of the tank 552 is higher than the overflow portion 552f, that is, the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501 m. As a result, the game ball B, which overflows from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m beyond the overflow portion 552 f and is distributed from the overflow surface portion 501 m to the detour passage 552 g, is on the left side of one side of the ball tank 552. By being blocked by the wall 552d, it is possible to prevent the ball from returning from the detour passage 552 g to the ball tank 552 side, and the game ball B on the detour passage 552 g side presses the game ball B in the ball tank 552. It is possible to prevent the game ball B from being clogged in the tank 552.

Further, as described above, the upper end edge of the left side wall 552d between the ball tank 552 and the detour passage 552g is from the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501m (passage surface 552h on which the game ball B rolls in the detour passage 552g). It is possible to prevent the game ball B from overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the detour passage 552 g without passing through the overflow surface portion 501 m. As a result, the inflow of the game ball B from the side (ball tank 552) to the detour passage 552 g can be prevented, so that the flow of the game ball B in the detour passage 552 g is rearward from the overflow surface portion 501 m on the front end side. The flow can be in a fixed direction toward the tank rail 553 on the end side, and the pressure of the game ball B guided from the detour passage 552 g to the tank rail 553 can be in a fixed direction. Therefore, in the tank rail 553, it is possible to prevent the game balls B from being pushed against each other and being bitten by the different directions of the pressure applied to the game balls B, and the game balls B are clogged. Can be prevented.

Further, since the bottom of the tank rail 553 is provided with the main guide portion 553a extending to the downstream end, the game balls B in the tank rail 553 reach the main guide portion 553a in a row in the left-right direction. Since the game balls B are arranged side by side, the game balls B in the tank rail 553 can be aligned, and the game balls B can be reliably guided to the payout device 580 on the downstream side. Further, since the tank rail 553 is provided with a wide bulging portion 553b in which a plurality of game balls B can be lined up in a portion where the upper side is open, the game released from the rear end of the detour passage 552 g. The sphere B can be reliably received, and the above-mentioned action and effect can be reliably achieved.

Further, the bulging portion 553b of the tank rail 553 is extended from the upstream end to the portion where the upper side is closed, and the width direction is narrowed from the upstream end to the downstream side to match the width of the main guiding portion 553a. Since the game balls are changed so as to match each other, as the plurality of game balls B move toward the downstream side in the bulge portion 553b, they can be aligned so as to be aligned with respect to the width direction. Further, since the portion of the tank rail 553 where the upper side is closed is formed so that the height of the flow path through which the game ball B flows decreases toward the downstream end, the upstream side (ball tank 552 side). By distributing a plurality of game balls B stacked in a plurality of stages in the height direction to the downstream side through a portion of the tank rail 553 where the upper side is closed, the number of stages in the height direction is reduced in a row. Can be aligned with. Therefore, the tank rail 553 can guide the plurality of game balls B to the downstream side (payout device 580 side) in a state of being aligned in a row.

Further, since the overflow surface portion 501 m and the detour passage 552 g are provided, it is possible to store a certain number of game balls B in them, and the tank rail 553 is provided with a bulge portion 553 b. Therefore, since the volume inside the tank rail 553 can be increased, more game balls B can be stored together with the ball tank 552.

Further, an external terminal plate 558 provided with a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a to which electrical wiring is connected and a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a on the opposite side of the ball tank 552 with the detour passage 552g and the discharge portion 551j in between. Since the terminal cover 551k that covers the upper side of the external terminal plate 558) is provided, the electric wire connection terminal 558a and the terminal cover 551k can be separated from the ball tank 552 to which the game ball B is supplied from the island equipment. Therefore, even if the game ball B supplied from the island facility bounces or is vigorously supplied in the ball tank 552 or the overflow surface portion 501 m, it can be difficult to reach (contact) the electric wire connection terminal 558a or the like. , There is no problem such as short circuit or disconnection of the electric wiring due to the contact of the game ball B.

Further, since the plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a are directed rearward and the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k is higher than the overflow surface portion 501m, the game ball B supplied from the island equipment to the ball tank 552 is the ball tank 552. Even if it bounces on the overflow surface portion 501 m, it can be made difficult to get on the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k, and even if the game ball B gets on the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k, it can be made difficult to fall from the rear side. It is possible to easily avoid the occurrence of such a problem.

Further, the game ball B returned from the overflow surface portion 501 m to the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 is sent to the upstream side (right direction in FIG. 103) of the ball tank 552 due to the inclination of the guide surface portion 552j. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B on the guide surface portion 552j from pressing the game ball B in the ball tank 552 in the downstream direction, and the game ball B is clogged in the ball tank 552. Can be prevented.

Further, the game ball B supplied from the island equipment to the ball tank 552 bounces on the ball tank 552 and the overflow surface portion 501 m, and rides on the left stage portion 501n and the right stage portion 501o on the left and right sides of the overflow surface portion 501 m. However, as shown in FIG. 103, the game ball B can be guided to the overflow surface portion 501 m and the detour passage 552 g by their inclination, and the game ball B spills on the outside of the main body frame 4, causing a problem. Can be prevented.

Further, since the game ball B is configured to pass under the guide surface portion 552j when the game ball B is distributed from the ball tank 552 to the tank rail 553 side, the game balls stacked on the upper side of the tank rail 553 by the guide surface portion 552j. The amount (height) of B can be regulated so as not to be higher than the lower surface of the guide surface portion 552j. Therefore, on the downstream side of the ball tank 552 (guide surface portion 552j) of the tank rail 553, that is, on the rear end side of the detour passage 552 g, it is possible to secure a space (vacant space) in which the game balls B can be stacked upward. , The game ball B guided by the detour passage 552 g can be reliably received.

Further, since the plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a and the terminal cover 551k are arranged in front of the portion where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is closed, even if the game ball B falls rearward from the terminal cover 551k, the game ball B can be dropped. The game ball B is not accepted by the tank rail 553, and it is possible to prevent the game ball B from affecting the game ball B in the tank rail 553 and causing a problem.

FIG. 110 is an explanatory view showing a cross-sectional view of the flow of the game ball in the tank rail of FIG. 107. In addition to the tank rail 553A, the tank rail 555A and the like of the second embodiment different from the above include the first rail cover 554A, the second rail cover 555A, and the ball rectifying member 556A. , The first rail cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball rectifying member 556 are different from each other, and the same configuration will be described with the same reference numerals.

The tank rail 553A of the present embodiment rectifies the game ball B stored in the ball tank 552 and delivers it to the ball guidance unit 570 of the payout unit 560. The tank rail 553A extends to the left in a groove shape that opens upward. The tank rail 555A has a first rail cover 554A so as to close the upper end side, a second rail cover 555A provided on the left side of the front view of the first rail cover 554A, and an upper side of the second rail cover 555A. A ball rectifying member 556A provided is attached, and a ball stopping member 557 capable of blocking the flow of the game ball B is attached to the downstream end of the tank rail 553A.

As shown in FIG. 107A and the like, the tank rail 553A has a meandering portion 553c meandering in the front-rear direction on the downstream side of the bulging portion 553b. The meandering portion 553c can suppress the distribution speed of the game ball B. The first rail cover 554A is attached to the upstream side (ball tank 552 side) of the meandering portion 553c.

The second rail cover 555A extends in the left-right direction from the first rail cover 554A to the downstream end (left end in the front view) including the meandering portion 553c on the open upper end side of the tank rail 555A. The second rail cover 555A includes a plate-shaped cover portion 555a that closes the upper end of the tank rail 555A, and a pair of protective walls 555b that extend upward from both front and rear ends on the upstream side of the cover portion 555a in the left-right direction. It has an opening 555c that penetrates the cover portion 555a between the pair of protective walls 555b. The pair of protective walls 555b are formed in a meandering shape following the meandering portion 553c at the portion of the tank rail 553A where the meandering portion 553c is provided. The rectifying piece 556a of the ball rectifying member 556A, which will be described later, is inserted into the opening 555c so as to penetrate from above.

The ball rectifying member 556A is rotatably attached so that the upstream end side extends back and forth and around the axis. The ball rectifying member 556A is provided above the cover portion 555a of the second rail cover 555A and between the pair of protective walls 555b, penetrates the opening 555c of the second rail cover 555A, and protrudes into the tank rail 555A. It has a flat plate-shaped rectifying piece 556a. The ball rectifying member 556A abuts on the game balls B stacked in a plurality of stages in the tank rail 553A from above, thereby breaking the stages of the game balls B and making it easier to align them in a row, and at the uppermost side. The game ball B is prevented from moving rapidly to the downstream side, and ball biting is prevented from occurring on the downstream side of the tank rail 553A.

According to the tank rail 555A or the like of the present embodiment, in the assembled state, the ball rectifying member 556A is located between the pair of protective walls 555b in the second rail cover 555A and below the upper end of the protective wall 555b. ing. As a result, the electric wire (shown by the broken line in FIG. 106) connected to the electric wire connection terminal 558a of the external terminal plate 558 provided on the front upper side of the portion of the tank rail 553A to which the ball rectifying member 556A is attached becomes. It is possible to prevent the ball rectifying member 556A from coming into contact with the ball rectifying member 556A from above. By the way, when the electric wire connected to the electric wire connection terminal 558a comes into contact with the ball rectifying member 556A from above, even if the game ball B comes into contact with the rectifying piece 556a of the ball rectifying member 556A due to the weight of the electric wire, the ball rectifying member 556A May not be able to rotate upward, and the rectifying action of the game ball B by the ball rectifying member 556A may not be sufficiently exerted. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the pair of protective walls 555b of the second rail cover 555A can prevent the electric wire connected to the electric wire connection terminal 558a from coming into contact with the ball rectifying member 556A. When the game ball B comes into contact with the rectifying piece 556a of the rectifying member 556A, the ball rectifying member 556A can rotate upward to fully exert the rectifying action, and the ball bites or the ball in the tank rail 553A. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of clogging.

Further, since the tank rail 553A is provided with the meandering portion 553c, the meandering portion 553c can suppress the distribution speed of the game ball B. By the way, in the tank rail 553A whose height becomes narrower toward the downstream side, if the upper game ball B among the game balls B stacked in a plurality of stages moves to the downstream side first, ball biting is likely to occur. .. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as described above, the meandering portion 553c can suppress the circulation speed of the game ball B, so that the upper game ball B moves to the downstream side first. It can be suppressed and the occurrence of ball biting can be reduced.

Further, as described above, since the protective wall 555b of the second rail cover 555A can prevent the electric wire from coming into contact with the ball rectifying member 556A and prevent the occurrence of ball clogging, many tank rails 553A can be used. Place it near the terminal board (for example, external terminal board 558) or control board to which the electric wires are connected, or place the terminal board or control board to which many electric wires are connected near the tank rail 553A. It is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 having a high degree of freedom in arranging the tank rail 553A (ball tank 552), the terminal plate, and the like.

It is provided with a tank rail 553 which is attached to the left side of the ball tank 552 on the upper side of the portion and which is open upward and extends to the left in a groove shape.

The ball tank 552 is formed so that the left-right direction is about half the width of the top plate portion 551a of the payout base 551 in the left-right direction, and the front-rear direction is shorter than the depth of the top plate portion 551a in the front-rear direction. It is formed in the direction. The ball tank 552 is attached to the upper surface of the top plate portion 551a at a position to the right in the left-right direction. The bottom surface of the ball tank 552 is inclined so that the left end side is lowered. The left end side of the ball tank 552 communicates with the tank rail 553.

The tank rail 553 is attached to the upper surface of the top plate portion 551a of the payout base 551 near the rear end on the left side of the center in the left-right direction. The shape of the tank rail 553 in a plan view is diagonally to the left and rearward from the right end communicating with the ball tank 552, and the depth in the front-rear direction is about one from the depth of several times the outer diameter of the game ball B. After extending to the depth, the depth in the front-rear direction is formed in a shape that extends straight to the left with a depth slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B. The bottom surface of the tank rail 553 is inclined so that the left end side is lowered, and the left end of the bottom surface is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B and opens downward. The opening at the left end of the bottom surface of the tank rail 553 communicates with the upper end opening of the guidance passage 570a in the ball guidance unit 570 of the payout unit 560.

Further, the tank rail 553 is steeper than the bottom surface so that the upper end of the portion extending straight to the left has a height slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B on the left end side. It is tilted so that the left end side is low at an angle. The tank rail 553 is attached to the upper surface of the top plate portion 551a so that the rear end of the portion extending straight to the left substantially coincides with the rear side of the top plate portion 551a.

The tank rail 553 has an opening on the bottom surface of a portion that extends straight to the left (a portion whose height decreases toward the downstream side) that allows dust and dirt in the tank rail 553 to fall. A plurality of portions 553d are formed. These openings 553d are provided in portions below the first rail cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball rectifying member 556, which will be described later. The opening 553d opens downward and rearward of the tank rail 553 and extends to the left and right, so that the game ball B cannot pass through. When the game ball B is present on the tank rail 553, a part of the game ball B can be directly visually recognized from behind through the opening 553d. Further, the game ball B in the tank rail 553 can be touched by the operator's finger, a thin stick, or the like through the opening 553d. As a result, the ball clogging generated at the site can be eliminated through the opening 553d. Further, the ball rectifying member 556 can be lifted through the opening 553d through the game ball B of the relevant portion, and the operation of the ball rectifying member 556 can be confirmed.

Further, the tank rail or the like is to the left of the ball tank 552, and closes above the predetermined range from the right end to the left of the portion of the tank rail 553 whose front-rear direction extends to the left at a substantially constant depth. The second rail cover 555 that closes upward from the portion spaced between the first rail cover 554 and the first rail cover 554 in the tank rail 535 to the left end, and the first rail cover 555 at the upper end of the tank rail 555. A ball rectifying member 556 provided at a portion between the rail cover 554 and the second rail cover 555, a ball stopping member 557 provided near the left end of the lower surface of the tank rail 555, and the first rail cover 554. It is provided with a protective cover 559 that straddles the ball rectifying member 556 from the middle of the left-right direction and covers the upper part of the second rail cover 555 halfway in the left-right direction.

The first rail cover 554 and the second rail cover 555 are attached to the upper end of the portion of the tank rail 553 that extends straight to the left. The first rail cover 554 and the second rail cover 555 prevent the depth of the upper end of the tank rail 553 in the front-rear direction from expanding or narrowing due to the pressure of the game ball B in the tank rail 553. ..

The ball rectifying member 556 is provided at a portion between the first rail cover 554 and the second rail cover 555 at the upper end of the tank rail 555 with respect to the axis around which the end on the first rail cover 554 side extends in the front-rear direction. It is mounted rotatably. The ball rectifying member 556 includes a rectifying piece 556a that protrudes into the tank rail 553 and extends in the left-right direction (see FIG. 114A and the like).

By the way, in the tank rail 553, the game balls B stacked vertically are arranged in one stage, but when the stacked game balls B are reduced from the second stage to the first stage, the upper game balls B are arranged. If an attempt is made to overtake the lower game balls B, the game balls B may engage with each other and become stuck (so-called ball clogging due to ball shavings). On the other hand, in the ball rectifying member 556 of the present embodiment, when the game ball B is distributed in two upper and lower stages in the tank rail 553, the upper game ball B comes into contact with the rectifying piece 556a. By slowing down the flow of the game ball B, it is possible to prevent an attempt to overtake the lower game ball B. As a result, the game ball B on the lower stage side moves to the downstream side first, and the game ball B on the upper stage side moves to the rear side, so that the game balls B can be aligned in one stage. At this time, since the game ball B on the upper stage side presses the rectifying piece 556a from below, the ball rectifying member 556 moves so that the rectifying piece 556a moves upward, and the game on the upper stage side due to its own weight. The ball B can be pressed downward, and the ball rectifying member 556 (rectifying piece 556a) swings in the vertical direction to promote the movement of the game ball B on the upper stage side to the lower stage side and the tank rail. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of ball clogging at the relevant portion (a portion whose height becomes lower toward the downstream) in 553.

The ball stop member 557 is slidably attached in the left-right direction near the left end of the front view on the lower surface of the tank rail 553, and by sliding it to the left, the opening at the left end of the bottom surface of the tank rail 553 is closed. It is possible to prevent the game ball B from flowing from the tank rail 553 to the payout unit side downstream.

The protective cover 559 includes a strip-shaped top plate portion 559a extending to the left and right, a flat plate-shaped rear plate portion 559b extending downward from a part of the rear side of the top plate portion 559a, and a top plate portion 559a. It has a flat plate-shaped front plate portion 559c extending downward from the front side and the left side of the above, and a flat plate-shaped guide plate portion 559d extending forward from the front plate portion 559c. The top plate portion 559a and the guide plate portion 559d are inclined so that the left end side is lowered. The guide plate portion 559d is formed so that the left side of the top plate portion 559a wraps around from the front side to the left side, and the rear end of the portion coincides with the rear end of the top plate portion 559a in the front-rear direction.

The protective cover 559 is positioned so that the top plate portion 559a covers the upper part from the middle of the first rail cover 554 in the left-right direction to the middle of the second rail cover 555 in the left-right direction in a state of being assembled to the main body frame 4. A space is formed between the ball rectifying member 556 and the sphere rectifying member 556 so that the sphere rectifying member 556 can swing up and down. The rear plate portion 559b extends to a position below the upper end of the tank rail 553 so as to cover the rear of the ball rectifying member 556.

The right end side of the front plate portion 559c extends to the right of the top plate portion 559a, and extends along the tank rail 553 to the ball tank 552. In the guide plate portion 559d, a portion on the front side of the top plate portion 559a protrudes forward from the front plate portion 559c with a length larger than the diameter of the game ball B, and the game ball B can be guided to the left. Has been done. The guide plate portion 559d is inclined more gently than the inclination of the upper end of the tank rail 553. The front end of the guide plate portion 559d forms a slight gap between the front end and the rear surface of the payout base 551 so that the game ball B cannot enter.

The protective cover 559 can prevent contact with the ball rectifying member 556 from the outside in the state of being assembled in the pachinko machine 1. To confirm the operation of the ball rectifying member 556, a thin rod is inserted into the opening 553d of the tank rail 553 to bring it into contact from below, or the game ball B in the tank rail 553 is passed through the opening 553d and the operator's finger. It can be confirmed by pushing it upward with the like and lifting it through the game ball B.

Further, the protective cover 559 can guide the game ball B that has entered the rear of the external terminal plate 558 for some reason to the left by the guide plate portion 559d and discharge it to the outside from the left side surface of the main body frame 4. ..

In the present embodiment, the ball tank 552, the tank rail 555, the first rail cover 554, the second rail cover 555, the ball rectifying member 556, the protective cover 559, etc. are formed of a transparent material, and the inside of the tank rail 553. The game ball B can be visually recognized from the outside.

Further, since the upper part of the tank rail 553 is covered with the first rail cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the protective cover 559, it is possible to prevent dust, dirt, etc. from entering the tank rail 553 from above. be able to.

Further, since the first rail cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the protective cover 559 cover the upper part of the tank rail 553, the ball rectifying member 556 and the game ball B cannot be touched from above. Therefore, when dust or dirt adheres to the game ball B or the like, it is necessary to remove the first rail cover 554, the second rail cover 555, the protective cover 559, etc., but in the present embodiment, the tank rail 553 It is significant that a plurality of openings 553d are provided at the bottom of the. More specifically, when dust or dirt adheres to the ball rectifying member 556 or the game ball B in the tank rail 553, it touches the internal game ball B through the opening 553d and passes through the game ball B or the game ball B. Since the ball rectifying member 556 can be shaken, dust and dirt adhering to the game ball B and the like can be removed. Then, dust, dirt, and the like dropped from the game ball B and the like can be discharged to the outside through the opening 553d.

By the way, in the main body frame 4, since the portion where the front-rear direction of the tank rail 555 extends to the left at a substantially constant depth is provided behind the external terminal plate 558, the electric wire connection terminal 558a of the external terminal plate 558a. When the electric wire connected to the ball rectifying member 556 comes into contact with the ball rectifying member 556 from above, the ball rectifying member 556 rotates upward even if the game ball B comes into contact with the rectifying piece 556a of the ball rectifying member 556 due to the weight of the electric wire. There is a possibility that the ball rectifying member 556 cannot fully exert the rectifying action of the game ball B.

Further, since the electric wire connection terminal 558a of the external terminal plate 558 is connected to the electric wire whose tip is stripped, if the game ball B remains behind the external terminal plate 558 for some reason, the electric wire connection terminal If the connection (insertion) of the electric wire to the 558a is insufficient, a short circuit may occur due to the remaining game ball B.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the protective cover 559 covers the upper part of the ball rectifying member 556, the protective cover 559 prevents the electric wire connected to the electric wire connecting terminal 558a from coming into contact with the ball rectifying member 556. can do. As a result, when the game ball B comes into contact with the rectifying piece 556a of the ball rectifying member 556, the ball rectifying member 556 can rotate upward, sufficiently exerting the rectifying action, and in the tank rail 553. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of ball biting and ball clogging.

By the way, when an electric wire is pulled out from the external terminal plate 558 for some reason and the tip of the electric wire comes into contact with the game ball B existing behind the external terminal plate 558, the computer in the game hall provides necessary information due to the occurrence of a short circuit. You will not be able to receive it, and there will be an error in the counting at the game hall. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since the guide plate portion 559d is provided on the protective cover 559, the game ball B that has invaded behind the external terminal plate 558 for some reason is guided to the left and the main body. It can be discharged to the outside from the left side surface of the frame 4. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B from remaining behind the external terminal plate 558, and thus it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a short circuit due to the remaining game ball B. Therefore, by avoiding a short circuit of the electric wire, it is possible to ensure that the computer (hall controller) of the game hall can receive the necessary information, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of counting error in the game hall. The pachinko machine 1 can be provided.

Further, according to the present embodiment, since the game ball B is discharged to the left side surface side of the main body frame 4 by the guide plate portion 559d of the protective cover 559, the game ball B is after the main body frame 4. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of problems such as disconnection or short circuit by contacting various electric wires and wirings provided on the side.

The base unit 660 has a front base 661 attached to the rear surface of the main body frame base 501 so as to cover a part of the speaker box 623 from the rear, and a power supply unit 620c attached to the rear side of the front base 661. A game that is provided between the rear base 662, the front base 661, and the rear base 662, and distributes the out-ball passage 663 and the out-ball passage 663 through which the game ball B discharged downward from the game board 5 is distributed. An out sensor 664 that detects the balls B one by one, and a ball pulling guidance unit 627 that receives the game ball B released from the lower ball pulling passage 610c of the lower full ball path unit 610 and guides it to the right in the front view. The game ball B guided by the ball ejection guidance unit 627 circulates, and closes the ball ejection discharge passage 665 provided behind the out ball passage 663 in the rear base 662 and the rear side of the ball ejection discharge passage 665. The passage wall member 666, which is attached to the rear base 662 as described above, is provided.

The front base 661 is formed in the shape of a long box on the left and right that is open forward. The rear base 662 has a flat plate-shaped partition wall portion 662a extending to the left and right at a substantially constant height in the vertical direction, and an out-ball passage 663 and a ball ejection guidance portion 627 are formed on the front side of the partition wall portion 662a. At the same time, a ball ejection discharge passage 665 is formed on the rear side of the partition wall portion 662a. The rear base 662 is formed in a box shape in which the rear side of the partition wall portion 662a is open to the rear.

In the base unit 660, the front base 661, the rear base 662, and the passage wall member 666 are formed of transparent members. Therefore, the ball ejection guide portion 627, the out ball passage 663, and the ball ejection discharge passage 665 are also transparently formed. Therefore, the inside of the ball ejection guide portion 627, the out ball passage 663, and the ball ejection discharge passage 665 can be clearly seen from the upper side or the lower side of the base unit 660, and it becomes easier to confirm ball clogging or the like. There is.

The out-ball passage 663 is formed on the front side of the flat plate-shaped partition wall portion 662a extending to the left and right at a substantially constant height in the vertical direction in the rear base 662 with the front open, and is open. The front end is closed by the front base 661.

The out ball passage 663 is a ball discharge receiving portion 663a that is open upward and extends to the left and right at a position substantially central in the left-right direction of the pachinko machine 1, and a game ball B received by the ball discharge receiving portion 663a. At the lower end of the out-ball rectifying section 663b that rectifies in a row while meandering greatly in the left-right direction, the downward guiding section 663c that guides the game ball B rectified in a row by the out-ball rectifying section 663b downward, and the downward guiding section 663c. It is open downward and has an out-ball discharge port 663d for discharging the game ball B downward from the lower surface of the base unit 660. The out ball discharge port 663d of the out ball passage 663 is provided behind the outer frame 2 (see FIG. 124).

The ball discharge receiving portion 663a of the out ball passage 663 is formed so that the depth in the front-rear direction is about 2.5 times the outer diameter of the game ball B. The ball discharge receiving portion 663a is inclined at a gentle angle so that the right end side is lowered.

The out-ball rectifying unit 663b is inclined at a gentle angle from a position to the right of the right end of the ball discharge receiving unit 663a toward the lower side of the ball discharge receiving unit 663a so that the left end side becomes lower. Further, the depth of the out-ball rectifying unit 663b becomes narrower in the front-rear direction toward the downstream side (left side), and is slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball B in the vicinity of the downstream end below the ball discharging receiving unit 663a. It is the depth. Further, the portion of the out-ball rectifying section 663b on the left side of the right end of the ball discharge receiving section 663a becomes lower in vertical height toward the downstream side (left side), and in the vicinity of the downstream end, the game ball B The height is slightly larger than the diameter. As a result, the game balls B can be aligned in a row in the out-ball rectifying unit 663b.

The lower guide portion 663c extends downward from the downstream end of the out-ball rectifying portion 663b below the ball discharge receiving portion 663a, and the front wall is flush with the rear wall (partition wall portion) in the middle of the vertical direction. It bends backward in a curved shape like a small crank. As a result, the downstream end (out ball discharge port 663d) of the downward guidance portion 663c is located behind the front surface of the partition wall portion 662a of the rear base 662. An out sensor 664 is provided on the upstream side of the cranking portion of the downward guidance portion 663c. Since the downward guiding portion 663c is formed in a curved shape so that the portion bent in a crank shape does not have a portion extending in the horizontal direction, the downward guide portion 663c passes through the out sensor 664 and is bent in a crank shape. Even if the game ball B comes into contact with the existing portion, it does not jump up to the upper out sensor 664 side, and it is possible to prevent one game ball B from being detected twice by the out sensor 664.

Since the game ball B frequently passes through the out sensor 664, a non-contact type electromagnetic proximity switch having high durability and long life is used.

The ball pulling guide portion 627 is provided to the left of the ball discharge receiving portion 663a in the out ball passage 663. The ball pulling guide portion 627 has an upstream end that opens to the upper part of the left side surface toward the left in front view, and the downstream side bends backward and extends to the rear side of the partition wall portion 662a of the rear base 662. , It is connected to the upstream end of the ball ejection discharge passage 665 (see FIG. 123 (a) and the like).

The ball ejection discharge passage 665 is formed on the rear side of the partition wall portion 662a in the rear base 662. The ball ejection discharge passage 665 is formed in the rear base 662 in a state of being open to the rear, and the rear end side is closed by the passage wall member 666. The rear end of the ball ejection discharge passage 665 is located in front of the rear end of the rear base 662 by about one outer diameter of the game ball B. That is, a gap of one game ball B or more is formed between the ball ejection discharge passage 665 and the power supply board 630 of the power supply unit 620c attached to the rear side of the rear base 662.

The upstream end (left end) of the ball ejection discharge passage 665 is connected to the downstream end of the ball ejection guidance portion 627, and has the same inclination as the ball ejection receiving portion 663a of the out ball passage 663 and is larger than the ball ejection receiving portion 663a. The lateral guide portion 665a extending to the right, the vertical guide portion 665b extending vertically downward from the downstream end (right end) of the lateral guide portion 665a to the lower surface of the rear base 662, and the downstream end (lower end) of the vertical guide portion 665b. ) Has a ball ejection port 665c that opens downward. The ball ejection port 665c is provided slightly behind the out ball ejection port 663d of the out ball passage 663 (see FIG. 124).

Further, the ball ejection discharge passage 665 has a plurality of protrusions 665d that alternately project inward at regular intervals in the vertical direction on the left and right inner walls of the vertical guide portion 665b. In the ball ejection discharge passage 665, the game balls B flowing through the vertically extending vertical guide portion 665b alternately contact the plurality of protrusions 665d, so that the game balls B flow down in a zigzag shape and are distributed. The increase in speed can be suppressed, and the speed of the game ball B discharged downward from the ball ejection port 665c can be suppressed.

Since the ball removal discharge passage 665 is a simple L-shaped passage by the horizontal guide portion 665a and the vertical guidance portion 665b, when the ball removal lever 593 is operated to discharge the game ball B in the ball tank 552. , Many game balls B can be smoothly guided and discharged.

According to the substrate unit 620A of this embodiment, the game ball B that has been driven into the game area 5a and discharged from the game board 5 is received by the ball discharge receiving portion 663a of the out ball passage 663, and then the out sensor 664. It is detected by the sensor and discharged to the island equipment side of the game hall. On the other hand, in order to discharge (pull out) the game ball B in the ball tank 552 or the like, the ball pulling lever 593 of the payout device 580 is operated to remove the game ball B discharged to the ball pulling passage 580b side from the out ball passage 663. The ball is discharged to the island facility side of the game hall through the ball pulling guidance unit 627 and the ball pulling discharge passage 665, which are separate and independent from the above. As a result, only the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 can be detected by the out sensor 664 provided in the out ball passage 663, so that only the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 can be accurately detected. Can be counted. Therefore, the number of game balls B (safe balls) counted by the payout detection sensor 591 of the payout device 580 and the number of game balls B (out balls) counted by the out sensor 664 are used to obtain an accurate game ball B. It can be a pachinko machine 1 capable of calculating a payout rate (ball payout rate).

The number of game balls B (the number of out balls) counted by the out sensor 664 is driven into the game area 5a to enter the general winning opening 2001, the first lower start opening 2003, the first upper start opening 2004, and the second start. The number of game balls B that are accepted and discharged from the game board 5 by the winning openings such as the opening 2005, the first winning opening 2006, the second major winning opening 2007 (V winning opening 2008, the loss opening 2009), and the game It is the sum of the number of game balls B that are received in the out port 2020 and the sub-out port 2021 and discharged from the game board 5 without being accepted in any of the winning openings after being driven into the area 5a. It is the number of game balls B (number of launched balls) driven into the game area 5a.

Since the payout rate (ball payout rate) changes according to the game state, the payout rate within a predetermined period (for example, per unit time, per predetermined time, per day, etc.) is set to "Payout within a predetermined period". Calculate as "number ÷ number of out balls within a predetermined period = payout rate within a predetermined period".

Further, according to the present embodiment, the board unit 620A of the main body frame 4 to which the game board 5 is detachably attached is provided with an out ball passage 663 through which the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 is distributed, and an out ball is provided. The game ball B circulating in the passage 663 is detected by the out sensor 664, and the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 can be detected. Therefore, the game board 5 detects the "out ball". It is not necessary to provide an out-ball detection unit, and the configuration of the game board 5 can be simplified to reduce the cost.

Further, according to the present embodiment, there is a gap larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B between the rear end of the ball ejection discharge passage 665 and the power supply board 630 of the power supply unit 620c attached to the rear side of the rear base 662. The out ball passage 663 and the ball ejection discharge passage 665 are moved away from the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, etc., and the out ball passage 663 and the ball ejection discharge passage 665 are used for many game balls B. It is possible to reduce the influence on the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, etc. due to electrical noise caused by static electricity, induced current, etc. generated by the distribution of the game ball B, and the pachinko machine 1 with less malfunction due to the distribution of the game ball B Can be.

Further, according to the present embodiment, since the game ball B whose flow speed is suppressed by the out ball rectifying unit 663b of the out ball passage 663 is detected by the out sensor 664, the game ball B is distributed. Since the impact applied to the out sensor 664 can be weakened, it is possible to reduce the premature wear and damage of the out sensor 664.

Further, when the payout rate (ball payout rate) per predetermined time calculated from the number of safe balls per predetermined time and the number of out balls per predetermined time is displayed so that the player can visually recognize the game. Since a person wants to pay out a lot of game balls B, if the displayed payout rate is large, it is possible to immediately recognize that the pachinko machine 1 has a high possibility that many game balls B will be paid out. It is possible to make it easier to select the pachinko machine 1 to be played. In addition, when the payout rate is displayed so as to be visible from the player side, if a fraudulent act such that a large number of game balls B are paid out is performed, the displayed payout rate becomes larger than usual. , Other players and the staff of the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed can easily notice the fraudulent activity, so that the pachinko machine 1 with high deterrence against the fraudulent activity can be hesitated. Can be.

In addition, when the payout rate calculated from the number of safe balls and the number of out balls is displayed at a position invisible from the player side, the staff of the game hall can see the same reason as above. Can detect fraudulent activity. Further, when the pachinko machine 1 is maintained, if the displayed payout rate is different from the normal value, the inside of the pachinko machine 1 (for example, obstacle nail, main control board 1310, payout control board 633, relay board). , Connector, wiring cable, various sensors, etc.), so it is possible to respond to the problem at an early stage and reduce the burden on the game hall side.

Further, since the out sensor 664 is provided in the out ball passage 663 in which the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 is distributed, a configuration for detecting the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 (for example, It is not necessary to provide an out-ball detection unit), the cost for the game board 5 can be reduced, and a space is secured in the game board 5 for the configuration for detecting the discharged game ball B. By providing a directing device in the secured space, the pachinko machine 1 (game board 5) can be made more entertaining for the player.

Further, since the ball ejection discharge passage 665 has a vertical guide portion 665b in which a plurality of protrusions 665d are alternately projected, the game ball B is distributed through the vertical guide portion 665 b, so that the game ball B can be distributed. Since the speed can be suppressed, damage in the ball ejection discharge passage 665 due to the impact of the circulating game ball B, damage on the island equipment side of the game hall that receives the game ball B ejected from the ball ejection discharge passage 665, Etc. can be prevented.

Further, the out-ball rectifying section 663b meandering in the out-ball passage 663 is provided, and the vertical guiding section 665b in which a plurality of protrusions 665d are projected is provided in the ball ejection / discharging passage 665, whereby the game ball B is provided. Since it is possible to suppress the circulation speed of the ball, it is possible to reduce the electrical noise emitted from the game ball B circulating in the out ball passage 663 and the ball ejection discharge passage 665, so that the ball is provided nearby. The influence on the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, and the like can be reduced, and the pachinko machine 1 with less malfunction due to the distribution of the game ball B can be obtained.

Further, since the out-ball discharge port 663d and the ball-extraction discharge port 665c of the out-ball passage 663 and the ball-extraction discharge passage 665 are opened downward, the out-ball passage 663 and the ball-extraction discharge passage are opened. Since the game ball B is discharged downward from the 665, it becomes difficult for the game ball B to collide with another pachinko machine, a wall, or the like provided behind the pachinko machine 1 in the island facility, and the other pachinko machines. It is possible to prevent the machine, walls, etc. from being damaged. Further, since the game ball B is discharged downward from the out ball passage 663 and the ball removal discharge passage 665, the discharged game ball B is less likely to scatter, and the out ball passage 663 and the ball removal discharge passage 665 on the island equipment side. It is possible to easily collect the discharged game ball B.

[4-13a. Another Embodiment of Ball Discharge in the Substrate Unit]
Next, another embodiment of ball discharge in the above-mentioned substrate unit 620A will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 125 and 126 and the like. FIG. 125 is an explanatory diagram showing an example in which a guide piece is provided at the out ball discharge port of the out ball passage. FIG. 126 (a) is an explanatory diagram showing an example in which the out sensor is detachable, and FIG. 126 (b) is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the out sensor is removed in (a).

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 125, a guide piece 667 for guiding the game ball B to the rear side is provided at a portion of the out ball discharge port 663d at the downstream end of the out ball passage 663 in the base unit 660. More specifically, in this embodiment, a merging portion 663e that joins the ball ejection / discharging passage 665 is provided near the downstream end of the out ball passage 663. The merging portion 663e is open downward, and the open end thereof is an out ball discharge port 663d (ball ejection port 665c). Then, the guide piece 667 projects shortly backward from the front wall at the out ball discharge port 663d.

According to the embodiment of FIG. 125, the game ball B discharged downward from the out ball discharge port 663d comes into contact with the guide piece 667, so that the discharge direction of the game ball B can be directed diagonally backward and downward. .. As a result, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the island equipment of the game hall, the part (out receiving part, bucket, etc.) for collecting the game ball B provided on the rear side (inside the island equipment) of the island equipment. Etc.), the game ball B can be easily released to the island equipment side, and the game ball B can be reliably collected on the island equipment side.

Further, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 125, since the discharge direction of the game ball B can be directed diagonally backward and downward by the guide piece 667, the out ball discharge port 663d of the out ball passage 663 is provided in the main body frame 4. Even if the game board 5 is provided at a position close to directly below the game area 5a of the attached game board 5 (a position close to the front side in the island equipment), the game ball B can be reliably received by a bucket or the like in the island equipment. Therefore, since the out-ball passage 663 (out-ball discharge port 663d) can be arranged in the front portion as much as possible, the space behind the out-ball passage 663 in the main body frame 4 can be widened. Therefore, when the out-ball passage 663 is moved away from the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, etc., the out-ball passage 663 is caused by electrical noise due to static electricity, induced current, etc. generated by the circulation of many game balls B. The influence on the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, and the like can be reduced, and the pachinko machine 1 with less malfunction due to the distribution of the game ball B can be obtained.

Subsequently, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 126, the out sensor 664 can be attached to and detached from below at the portion of the out ball discharge port 663d in the out ball passage 663. In this embodiment, a sensor mounting recess 663f formed at the downstream end of the downward guide portion 663c in the out ball passage 663 and open downward so as to accommodate the out sensor 664, and an out sensor housed in the sensor mounting recess 663f. It is equipped with a sensor cover 668 that regulates the downward movement of the 664.

The sensor mounting recess 663f is formed at the lower end of the lower guidance portion 663c connected to the downstream end of the out-ball rectifying portion 663b in the out-ball passage 663 of the base unit 660. Also in this embodiment, the base unit 660 is formed of a transparent member, and the inside of the out-ball passage 663 can be visually recognized from the upper side or the lower side of the base unit 660.

The sensor cover 668 detects the main body portion 668a which extends longer than the sensor mounting recess 663f and whose base end side is rotatably mounted on the base unit 660, and the out sensor 664 housed in the sensor mounting recess 663f in the main body portion 668a. A through hole 668b through which the game ball B can pass through at a portion corresponding to the hole, and a locking claw portion 668c provided on the main body portion 668a opposite to the proximal end side and elastically deformable. Have.

The sensor cover 668 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the base unit 660 with respect to the sensor mounting recess 663f, which is opposite to the out-sphere rectifying section 663b. The locking claw portion 668c of the sensor cover 668 is locked to the locking portion 663g provided on the outer side of the out-ball rectifying portion 663b side with respect to the sensor mounting recess 663f in the base unit 660.

The sensor cover 668 has the locking claw portion 668c moved upward in a state where the out sensor 664 is housed in the sensor mounting recess 663f so that the detection hole of the out sensor 664 coincides with the out ball passage 663. By rotating and locking the locking claw portion 668c to the locking portion 663g and closing it, the main body portion 668a abuts on the lower surface of the out sensor 664, restricting the downward movement of the out sensor 664, and out. The sensor 664 can be attached to the base unit 660 (see FIG. 126 (a)). In this state, the through hole 668b of the sensor cover 668 coincides with the detection hole of the out sensor 664, and after the game ball B circulating through the out ball passage 663 is detected by the out sensor 664, the through hole 668b is inserted. It is discharged downward through it. The through hole 668b of the sensor cover 668 also serves as the out ball discharge port 663d of the out ball passage 663.

When the out sensor 664 is replaced (removed), the locking claw portion 668c of the sensor cover 668 is operated to elastically deform the locking claw portion 668c to release the locking with the locking portion 663g. Then, by rotating and opening the sensor cover 668 around the base end side of the main body 668a so that the locking claw portion 668c moves downward, the main body 668a of the sensor cover 668 is opened under the out sensor 664. The out-sensor 664 can be removed from the sensor mounting recess 663f (see FIG. 126 (b)).

As shown in FIG. 126 (b), in the present embodiment, in the state where the sensor cover 668 is rotated and opened, the lower end of the sensor cover 668 and the upper end of the dangerous contact object indicated by the alternate long and short dash line (for example, the outer frame 2). There is a certain amount of gap between the upper end surface of the outer frame lower assembly 40, the upper end of the connecting cylinder portion 43a of the curtain plate rear member 43, etc.), or the lower end of the main body frame 4. ing. As a result, even if the main body frame 4 is opened and closed with respect to the outer frame 2 while the sensor cover 668 is open, the sensor cover 668 does not come into contact with a dangerous object and the sensor cover 668 is prevented from being damaged. be able to.

According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 126, since the out sensor 664 detects all the game balls B driven into the game area 5a of the game board 5, many game balls B are distributed. As a result, the out sensor 664 may be worn out and damaged at an early stage, but as described above, the out sensor 664 can be attached and detached from below by opening the sensor cover 668, so that the out sensor 664 can be easily replaced. it can.

Further, according to this embodiment, even if the main body frame 4 is opened and closed with respect to the outer frame 2 while the sensor cover 668 is open, the sensor cover 668 comes into contact with a contact-risk object such as the outer frame 2. It is possible to prevent the sensor cover 668 from being damaged. More specifically, the sensor cover 668 supports the out sensor 664 from below, but since many game balls B come into contact with the out sensor 664 from above, contact with many game balls B. There is a risk that the locking claw portion 668c of the sensor cover 668 will come off due to the vibration caused by the sensor cover 668, and the sensor cover 668 will open. If the sensor cover 668 opens and the out sensor 664 falls off during the game, the out sensor 664 detects the game ball B even though the game ball B is driven into the game area 5a. Therefore, the occurrence of an abnormality is notified by the main control board 1310 or the like. Upon notification of the occurrence of this abnormality, the staff of the game hall or the like opens the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 in order to confirm the abnormality, but the lower end of the open sensor cover 668 and the outer frame 2 Since there is a gap between the sensor cover 668 and the sensor cover, the main body frame 4 can be opened without the sensor cover 668 coming into contact with the contact risk, and the sensor cover 668 can be prevented from being damaged.

Further, according to the embodiment of FIG. 126, the base end side of the sensor cover 668 is rotatably attached to the base unit 660 at an outer portion of the sensor mounting recess 663f opposite to the out-sphere rectifying portion 663b. At the same time, since the base unit 660 is transparent, the inside of the out-ball passage 663 can be satisfactorily visually recognized from below by opening the sensor cover 668 and removing the out-sensor 664. Therefore, when the game ball B is jammed in the out ball passage 663, the inside of the out ball passage 663 can be visually recognized from the outside, so that the place where the game ball B is jammed can be identified at a glance. It is possible to eliminate the clogging of the game ball B at an early stage.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the upper surface of the door frame top unit 450 in the door frame 3 is formed to be substantially on the same surface as the upper surface of the outer frame upper member 30 in the outer frame 2. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can be turned upside down and upright, and the out sensor 664 can be replaced by opening and closing the sensor cover 668, and the out ball passage 663 from the bottom side through the transparent base unit 660. It is possible to easily perform confirmation work inside or inside the ball ejection discharge passage 665.

Further, according to the present embodiment, even if the out sensor 664 is damaged, the out sensor 664 can be easily replaced, so that the game that was interrupted due to the damage of the out sensor 664 can be restarted at an early stage. , It is possible to alleviate the irritation of the player due to the interruption of the game and suppress the decrease in the interest, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in the operating rate of the pachinko machine 1 and reduce the burden on the game hall side. it can.

Further, since one end of the sensor cover 668 is rotatably attached to the base unit 660, even if the sensor cover 668 is opened when the out sensor 664 is replaced, the sensor cover 668 is attached to the base unit 660. Since the sensor cover 668 is in a suspended state and does not fall off, it is possible to prevent the sensor cover 668 from being lost.

Further, in the sensor cover 668 that holds the out sensor 664 from below, the outer portion of the base unit 660 near the out ball passage 663 through which many game balls B circulate, around the axis in the front-rear direction (horizontal direction). On the other hand, since it is rotatably attached to the base unit 660, the distribution of the downward force applied to the sensor cover 668 via the out sensor 664 due to the circulation of the game ball B is rotatably attached to the base unit 660 (one side). It is largely applied to the end side of the base unit 660), and is relatively small on the locking claw portion 668c side (the other end side) locked to the locking portion 663g of the base unit 660. Therefore, when many game balls B pass through the out sensor 664, even if a downward force acts on the sensor cover 668 via the out sensor 664, it is rotatably attached to one end side thereof. Since a large amount can be received, it becomes difficult to release the lock at the locking claw portion 668c on the other end side, and it is possible to reduce the possibility that the sensor cover 668 opens and the out sensor 664 falls off. ..

The second ball path 702 is formed by the second discharge induction unit 712b of the above.

The security cover 714 is formed in a flat plate shape, and is attached to the vicinity of the front end of the elimination port 711b of the front base 711 in a state where the front end side can rotate around the axis in the left-right direction. Further, the security cover 714 has an elastic locking portion 714a that is locked to the rear base 712 on the rear end side. As shown in FIG. 130, in this security cover 714, when the elastic locking portion 714a is locked to the rear base 712 and is horizontal, the release port 711b is closed and the elastic locking portion 714a is locked. The elimination port 711b is open when the rear end side is rotated so as to be positioned downward to make it vertical. That is, the security cover 714 can open and close the elimination port 711b.

Since the security cover 714 can close the release port 711b of the front base 711 by closing the security cover 714, a linear fraudulent tool can be inserted from the release port 711b into the ball path member 713 (first ball path 701 or first ball path 711 or first). It is possible to prevent the insertion into the two-ball path 702). Further, the security cover 714 is opened when a ball is clogged between the rectifying wall portion 713e and the lower shelf portion 713f of the ball path member 713, thereby opening the elimination port 711b of the front base 711. Therefore, a rod-shaped tool is inserted between the rectifying wall portion 713e and the lower shelf portion 713f through the clearing port 711b and the notch portion 713q of the lower shelf portion 713f from below to eliminate the ball clogging of the game ball B. Can be done. This ball clogging clearing work is carried out in a state where the main body frame 4 is opened forward with respect to the outer frame 2.

In the security cover 714, when the release port 711b is opened (vertical), the lower end (the end on the elastic locking portion 714a side) is at risk of contact (here, after the curtain plate in the outer frame 2). It is located below the height of the connecting cylinder portion 43a) of the member 43 (the height indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 130). Therefore, in order to eliminate the clogging of the game ball B in the ball path member 713, after opening the main body frame 4 forward with respect to the outer frame 2, the main body frame 4 is kept open with the security cover 714 open. Even if an attempt is made to close the outer frame 2, the open security cover 714 comes into contact with a dangerous object (connecting cylinder portion 43a of the curtain plate rear member 43), and the main body frame 4 cannot be closed.

With the center accessory 2500 assembled on the game board 5, the upper right guide passage group 2541 extends downward from the vicinity of the upper end of the game area 5a to a height of about 4/5 of the total height of the game area 5a. ing. The lower right guide passage group 2542 extends downward from a position slightly higher than 2/3 of the total height of the game area 5a to a position slightly lower than 1/2 of the total height of the game area 5a. The upper right guide passage group 2541 and the lower right guide passage group 2542 are formed so that the right end side is along the right rail 1005.

In the upper right first guide passage 2541a of the upper right guide passage group 2541, the right end of the entrance is located directly below the lower end of the abutting portion 1006 of the front component 1000, and the game ball B in contact with the abutting portion 1006. Most of them are formed so as to enter the upper right first guide passage 2541a. The game ball B circulating through the upper right first guide passage 2541a is more likely to enter the lower right first guide passage 2542a of the lower right guide passage group 2542 than the game ball B circulating through the upper right second guide passage 2541b.

The exit of the lower right guide passage group 2542 is offset to the left of the right rail 1005. The game ball B circulating through the lower right first guide passage 2542a of the lower right guide passage group 2542 is likely to flow down onto the attacker upper shelf portion 2612 of the attacker unit 2600. Further, the game ball B circulating through the lower right second guide passage 2542b of the lower right guide passage group 2542 is discharged to the central mouth 2605 and the right mouth 2606 provided on the right side of the attacker upper shelf portion 2612 of the attacker unit 2600. There is a high possibility that

The main body unit 2510 has one binding pedestal 2550 attached to the rear side of the center base 2511, which will be described in detail later (see FIGS. 166 to 170 and the like). The binding pedestal 2550 has an annular band holding portion 2552, and by bundling a plurality of wiring ECs by a binding band CT passing through the band holding portion 2552, the binding pedestal 2550 is attached to the center base 2511 in a state where the plurality of wiring ECs are bundled. Can be supported.

[5-9d-1a. Center distribution unit]
The center distribution unit 2520 in the main body unit 2510 of the center accessory 2500 will be described in more detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 149 and 150. The center distribution unit 2520 has a dish-shaped crune 2530 that swivels the game ball B guided by the upper warp passage 2513 and then releases it downward, and a second that guides the game ball B released from the crune 2530 to the right. At the right side of the first taxiway 2521, the distribution ball discharge port 2526 recessed downward on the right side of the first taxiway 2521, and the distribution ball discharge port 2526, the game ball B is guided to the right and the right end (downstream). The second taxiway 2522, which has the first upper start port 2004 open at the end), and the second taxiway 2522, which is provided so as to be able to move forward and backward in the front-rear direction above the distribution ball discharge port 2526, can be moved forward from the first taxiway 2521. It has a flat plate-shaped center distribution piece 2523 capable of guiding the game ball B to the second taxiway 2522.

The distribution ball discharge port 2526 and the center distribution piece 2523 of the center distribution unit 2520 are located directly above the stage 2514 (approximately the center in the left-right direction), and have a left-right length of 60 mm to 70 mm (here, 65 mm). ) Is formed. The center distribution piece 2523 of the center distribution unit 2520 advances and retreats in a predetermined pattern by the center distribution drive motor 2525 (see FIG. 203). The center distribution piece 2523 has a predetermined width from the front end to the rear, and is inclined so that the lower surface moves upward as the lower surface moves forward. That is, it is tapered so that the front end becomes thinner. As a result, when the center distribution piece 2523 moves forward, the front end of the center distribution piece 2523 makes it difficult to bite the game ball B, and even if it is bitten, the friction is reduced, so that biting is minimized. doing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 150 (b), the center distribution unit 2520 is guided to the right by the distribution ball sensor 2527 that detects the game ball B that has entered the upper warp passage 2513 and the center distribution piece 2523. The first upper start port sensor 2524 for detecting the game ball B received in the first upper start port 2004 through the second taxiway 2522 and the center distribution piece 2523 guide the ball to the second taxiway 2522. It has a distribution ball discharge sensor 2528 for detecting the game ball B received in the distribution ball discharge port 2526 without being able to perform the function. The distribution ball sensor 2527 and the distribution ball discharge sensor 2528 are connected to the peripheral control board 1510 (see FIG. 203).

The center distribution unit 2520 guides the game ball B, which has passed through the upper warp passage 2513, is detected by the distribution ball sensor 2527, and is released from the crune 2530, with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/2). The game ball B that can be distributed to the road 2522 side and distributed to the second taxiway 2522 is received by the first upper start port 2004. The game ball B received in the first upper starting port 2004 is detected by the first upper starting port sensor 2524 (see FIGS. 150 (b) and 203), and then the back ball guiding unit 3100 of the back unit 3000. Is delivered to the ball and is discharged downward via the back ball guiding unit 3100. As a result, is the game ball B that has entered the upper warp passage 2513 from within the game area 5a distributed to the second taxiway 2522 (first upper start port 2004) side by the center distribution piece 2523 that advances and retreats at a constant rhythm? Depending on whether or not it is possible, the player can be thrilled. At this time, in the crune 2530 provided upstream of the center distribution piece 2523, the game ball B turns to some extent and then is discharged to the first taxiway 2521, so that it can be seen that the game ball moves forward and backward. Depending on whether or not the game ball B is released from the crune 2530 at the timing when the center distribution piece 2523 can project forward and guide (sort) the game ball B to the first upper start port 2004. The player can be thrilled and excited, and the player can be entertained in multiple stages.

On the other hand, in the center distribution unit 2520, the game ball B that has fallen to the distribution ball discharge port 2526 is detected by the distribution ball discharge sensor 2528 and then delivered to the back ball guidance unit 3100 of the back unit 3000. It is discharged downward via the back ball guiding unit 3100.

The crune 2530 of the center distribution unit 2520 is transparently formed. This crune 2530 has a dish-shaped rolling surface portion 2531 that is supplied with the game ball B that has passed through the upper warp passage 2513 and is recessed so that the center is lowered, and only one game ball B at the center of the rolling surface portion 2531. It has a passage port 2532 that penetrates with a size that allows it to pass through, and a peripheral wall portion 2533 that extends upward from the outer peripheral edge of the rolling surface portion 2531.

The rolling surface portion 2531 of the crune 2530 has a central surface portion 2531a extending so as to extend outward from the center and a central surface portion 2531a extending outward from the outer peripheral edge of the central surface portion 2531a. , A peripheral surface portion 2531b having a larger angle from the horizontal than the central surface portion 2531a. In the present embodiment, the central surface portion 2531a of the rolling surface portion 2531 is inclined at an angle of 4 degrees with respect to the horizontal. On the other hand, the peripheral surface portion 2531b is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the horizontal.

The rolling surface portion 2531 is located between the game ball B and the peripheral wall portion 2533 when the boundary between the central surface portion 2531a and the peripheral surface portion 2531b is in contact with both the central surface portion 2531a and the peripheral surface portion 2531b. It is formed so as to have a certain amount of gap (see FIG. 149 (c)). In other words, the boundary between the central surface portion 2531a and the peripheral surface portion 2531b is provided so as to be located at a distance longer than the radius of the game ball B from the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 2533 toward the center. The distance (horizontal distance) from the boundary between the central surface portion 2531a and the peripheral surface portion 2531b to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 2533 shall be within the range of 3/5 to 5/5 of the diameter of the game ball B. Is desirable.

As shown in FIG. 149, the passage port 2532 of the Kroon 2530 has an inner peripheral shape of a square, that is, a non-circular shape. The passage port 2532 penetrates into an inscribed circle square slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball B. The passage port 2532 is provided so that its diagonal line extends in the front-rear direction. Further, the passage port 2532 is formed so as to become smaller toward the lower side, so that the game ball B can be easily discharged directly below.

The peripheral wall portion 2533 extends upward above the diameter of the game ball B. As a result, the game ball B supplied to the rolling surface portion 2531 is prevented from jumping out from the rolling surface portion 2531.

In the crune 2530 of the present embodiment, the game ball B circulating through the upper warp passage 2513 is supplied from the left to the right near the outer peripheral edge of the rear portion of the rolling surface portion 2531. Due to its momentum, the game ball B supplied to the crune 2530 turns clockwise on the peripheral surface portion 2531b of the rolling surface portion 2531 while contacting the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 2533, and its rolling speed. As the centrifugal force acting on the game ball B decreases, the turning radius gradually decreases so as to go down the peripheral surface portion 2531b, and the peripheral wall portion 2533 moves away from the inner peripheral surface toward the center. It will be.

Then, when the turning game ball B reaches the central surface portion 2531a from the peripheral surface portion 2531b, the inclination angle of the central surface portion 2531a is sufficiently looser (smaller) than the inclination angle of the peripheral surface portion 2531b, so that the game ball B rolls. Due to the centrifugal force acting by the velocity, the game ball B turns for a while while being in contact with both the central surface portion 2531a and the peripheral surface portion 2531b. After that, when the rolling speed of the game ball B is further attenuated, the centrifugal force acting on the game ball B is further reduced, so that the turning radius is gradually reduced so as to go down the central surface portion 2531a, and the center. It will enter the passage port 2532 provided in the center of the surface portion 2531a and fall into the lower first taxiway 2521.

More specifically, the game ball B supplied to the Kroon 2530 does not turn many times in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 2533 because the inclination angle of the peripheral surface portion 2531b is large and steep. Most of them turn in a state of being in contact with both the central surface portion 2531a and the peripheral surface portion 2531b without being in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 2533. At this time, since the crune 2530 (peripheral wall portion 2533) is made transparent, the game ball B can be made to appear to be turning while being in contact with the peripheral wall portion 2533, which is a game familiar to the conventional pachinko machine crune. It does not give a sense of discomfort to the person.

By the way, in the crune in the conventional pachinko machine, the game ball B turns while being in contact with the peripheral wall portion. Therefore, when the pachinko machine is hit and a force is applied in the front-rear direction, the rolling direction of the game ball B is changed through the peripheral wall portion. It is possible to change from the turning direction to the direction of the central passage port, and the player can see that the desired timing, specifically, the center distribution piece 2523 is moving back and forth. There is a problem that a fraudulent act of intruding the game ball B into the passing port is performed at the timing when the center distribution piece 2523 protrudes forward and the game ball B can be distributed to the first upper start port 2004. On the other hand, according to the Kroon 2530 of the present embodiment, the game ball B can be swiveled at a position away from the peripheral wall portion 2533 due to the inclination of the peripheral surface portion 2531b of the rolling surface portion 2531, so that the game ball B moves back and forth. At the timing when the center distribution piece 2523, which can be seen to be present, protrudes forward and can distribute the game ball B to the first upper start port 2004, the pachinko machine 1 is hit or shaken to cause abnormal vibration, impact, etc. The abnormal vibration, impact, etc. are not transmitted to the game ball B via the peripheral wall portion 2533, and the rolling direction of the game ball B is prevented from being changed to the direction of the passage port 2532. can do.

Further, abnormal vibration, impact, etc. caused by hitting or shaking the pachinko machine 1 also act on the rolling surface portion 2531, but the contact point with the rolling surface portion 2531 (peripheral surface portion 2531b) in the game ball B is a game. Since it is located sufficiently below the center of gravity of the ball B, the peripheral surface portion 2531b moves relative to the lower side of the game ball B due to the force acting due to the abnormal vibration or impact, and the peripheral surface portion The rolling direction of the game ball B is not changed even through the 2531b.

For this reason, abnormal vibrations, impacts, and the like that hit or shake the pachinko machine 1 act on the gaming ball B that is rolling on the rolling surface portion 2531 via the peripheral surface portion 2531b, and the rolling direction thereof. Since it is possible to avoid being changed, the center distribution piece 2523, which can be seen to move forward and backward, protrudes forward and distributes the game ball B to the first upper start port 2004. Even if the pachinko machine 1 is hit or shaken at a possible timing to cause abnormal vibration or impact, the rolling direction of the game ball B is directed toward the passage port 2532 due to the abnormal vibration or impact. , It is possible to prevent fraudulent acts that are illegally invaded into the passage port 2532, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side where the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

Further, the crune 2530 of the present embodiment has the following excellent features because the inner peripheral shape of the passage port 2532 provided at the center of the rolling surface portion 2531 is a non-circular square. It can exert an action effect. More specifically, if the inner circumference of the passage port in the crune is circular as in a conventional pachinko machine, the game ball B will pass through depending on the rolling direction and rolling speed of the game ball B with respect to the passing port. It may swirl around the edge of the car more than necessary. Then, while the game ball B is turning around at the edge of the passage port, the pachinko machine is hit or shaken to apply abnormal vibration or impact, thereby delaying the entry of the game ball B into the passage port. It becomes possible to accelerate or accelerate. For this reason, the pachinko machine 1 is hit at the timing when the game ball B is guided to the second taxiway 2522 (first upper start port 2004) by the center distribution piece 2523 which can be seen to move forward and backward. By applying abnormal vibration, impact, or the like by shaking or shaking, there is a risk that the game ball B will enter the passage port and cheating will be achieved. In the state where the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the island equipment of the game hall, the front surface of the pachinko machine 1 is exposed from the island equipment, so that the player in front of the pachinko machine 1 can see. , It is easy to apply a force to the pachinko machine 1 in the rearward (front-back direction) rather than in the left-right direction or the up-down direction. Therefore, illegal abnormal vibrations and shocks that hit or shake the game machine mainly act in the front-rear direction.

In response to the above problems, in the present embodiment, the passage port 2532 of the crune 2530 has an inner peripheral shape of a non-circular square, and the diagonal extending direction faces the front-rear direction. Since it is provided, the game ball B that is turning while gradually reducing the turning radius on the rolling surface portion 2531 first comes into contact with any of the four corners of the passage port 2532, and the corner is reached. The rolling speed of the game ball B can be greatly attenuated by the contact, and the game ball B can be quickly entered into the passage port 2532. Further, since the inner circumference of the passage port 2532 is square, even if the game ball B rolls along one side of the passage port 2532, the extension direction is 90 degrees different from the next side at the end of the side. Since they come into contact with each other, a reaction force acts on the game ball B in the direction opposite to the rolling direction, and the game ball B does not turn around at the edge of the passage port 2532. For this reason, the pachinko machine 1 is moved at a timing when the center distribution piece 2523, which can be seen to move forward and backward, protrudes forward and can distribute the game ball B to the first upper start port 2004. Even if an attempt is made to illegally invade the passage port 2532 by hitting or shaking it to cause abnormal vibration or impact, when the game ball B comes into contact with the passage port 2532, it immediately enters the passage port 2532, which is illegal. It is possible to make the timing of performing an act difficult, and it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts from being performed.

Further, since the diagonal line of the passing port 2532 is directed in the front-rear direction, each side constituting the peripheral edge of the passing port 2532 is extended in a direction (oblique direction) intersecting with the left-right direction. Therefore, compared to the case where the edge (side) of the passage port extends in the left-right direction, the game ball B and the passage port 2532 due to abnormal vibration or impact in the front-rear direction when the pachinko machine 1 is hit or shaken. The relative movement distance to the edge (side) can be shortened, and the influence of abnormal vibration, impact, etc. can be reduced. Therefore, when the game ball B tries to enter the passage port 2532, the pachinko machine 1 is hit or shaken to cause an abnormal vibration, impact, or the like, so that the timing at which the game ball B enters the passage port 2532 can be determined. Even if an attempt is made to make adjustments by delaying or accelerating, the influence of the abnormal vibration or impact on the game ball B can be reduced, and the achievement of fraudulent activity can be prevented.

Further, since the diagonal extension direction of the square passage port 2532 is directed in the front-rear direction in the crune 2530, the shape of the passage port 2532 can be more clearly understood when viewed from the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1. It can be shown easily. Therefore, it is possible to show the player the Kroon 2530 (rolling surface portion 2531) having a passage port 2532 having a non-circular shape (here, it looks like a rhombus), which has never been seen in the pachinko machine 1 so far. Therefore, it is possible to give a strong impact to the player, to provide the pachinko machine 1 having a high appeal to the player, and to make it easier to select the pachinko machine 1 as the game machine to be played. It is possible to entertain the game with the pachinko machine 1 and suppress the decline in interest.

In the above embodiment, the peripheral surface portion 2531b of the rolling surface portion 2531 is shown to be inclined linearly in the cross section, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the radius is larger than the radius of the game ball B. It may be inclined in the shape of an arc, or it may be inclined in the shape of a polygonal line. Also by this, the same action and effect as described above can be obtained.

Further, in the above embodiment, the peripheral surface portion 2531b having an inclination angle different from that of the central surface portion 2531a is provided in the rolling surface portion 2531 so that the game ball B can roll in a state where it is difficult to contact the peripheral wall portion 2533. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a ridge portion that protrudes from the rolling surface portion 2531 at a height at which the game ball B can get over may be provided, or the outer peripheral side of the rolling surface portion 2531 may be provided. A step portion formed in a stepped shape may be provided so as to be high, or a groove portion recessed in the rolling surface portion 2531 so as to be high on the outer peripheral side may be provided. Also by this, the same action and effect as described above can be obtained.

Further, in the above embodiment, the non-circular passage port 2532 of the crune 2530 has a square inner peripheral shape, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 151 (a), it is not limited to this. The inner peripheral shape of the passage port 2532 may be a star shape. In addition to being able to achieve the same effects as above, this book has a star-shaped crune 2530 with a passage port 2532, which has never been seen in conventional pachinko machines, for players. The pachinko machine 1 can be shown, a strong impact can be given to the player, and the expectation for the game ball B circulating in the Kroon 2530 can be increased, and the player's interest in the game can be suppressed. be able to. The inner circumference of the passage port 2532 includes "triangle", "square", "pentagon", "hexagon", "polygon", "oval", "diamond", and "heart". , "Clover shape", "Spade shape", "Indefinite shape", etc. may be a non-circular shape.

Further, in the above embodiment, only one passage port 2532 is provided on the rolling surface portion 2531 of the crune 2530, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 151 (b), rolling The moving surface portion 2531 may be provided with a plurality of (four in this case) passage ports 2532. When a plurality of passage ports 2532 are provided, different benefits may be given to the player depending on the passage ports 2532 into which the game ball B enters. In the embodiment of FIG. 151 (b), the inner peripheral shapes of the four passage ports 2532 are different from each other, such as a diamond shape, a heart shape, a clover shape, and a spade shape. Also, in addition to being able to exert the same effects as described above, the player can be thrilled and thrilled depending on whether or not the game ball B enters the passage port 2532 having a desired shape. It is possible to entertain and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, in the above embodiment, the dish-shaped crune 2530 in the center distribution unit 2520 provided with the non-circular passage port 2532 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and FIG. 151 (c) shows. A non-circular winning opening and a losing opening may be provided on the flat rolling surface portion of the distribution unit 2800 as shown. More specifically, the distribution unit 2800 has a flat plate-shaped rolling surface portion 2803 which is inclined so as to be lowered forward and has loss openings 2802 on both the left and right sides of one winning opening 2801 near the front end. The guide surface portion 2804 that guides the game ball B released forward from the front end of the rolling surface portion 2803 to the outside in either the left-right direction, and the rear ends are provided on both the left and right outer sides of the guide surface portion 2804 and the rolling surface portion 2803. A side surface portion 2805 that coincides with the rear end of the rolling surface portion 2803 and is inclined so that the front end is located below the downstream end of the guiding surface portion 2804, and a side surface portion 2805 provided near the rear end of the rolling surface portion 2803. It has a central rotating body 2806 and a lateral rotating body 2807 provided near the front end of the side surface portion 2805, respectively.

Further, the distribution unit 2800 is a peripheral edge of a region composed of a weir portion 2808 protruding upward from both the left and right sides of the rolling surface portion 2803, a rolling surface portion 2803, an induction surface portion 2804, and two side surface portions 2805. It has a peripheral wall portion 2809 that extends upward above the diameter of the game ball B. The weir portion 2808 suppresses the entry and exit of the game ball B from both the left and right sides of the rolling surface portion 2803. Further, the peripheral wall portion 2809 prevents the game ball B from falling off from the distribution unit 2800.

The peripheral wall portion 2809 has an outer shape in a plan view, which is semicircular on the rear end side and has a length in the front-rear direction substantially the same as the diameter of the semicircle. The length of the peripheral wall portion 2809 in the front-rear direction is 2.5 times the diameter of the central rotating body 2806. In other words, the diameter of the central rotating body 2806 is 0.4 times the length of the peripheral wall portion 2809 in the front-rear direction. Further, the diameter of the central rotating body 2806 is about 4 times the diameter of the game ball B (for example, 11 mm), and the length of the peripheral wall portion 2809 in the front-rear direction is about 10.5 times the diameter of the game ball B. .. Further, the length (width) of the rolling surface portion 2803 in the left-right direction is about 5 times the diameter of the game ball B, and the length (depth) in the front-rear direction is 5 to 7 times the diameter of the game ball B. Is.

The rolling surface portion 2803 is formed in a substantially quadrangular shape in which the length in the front-rear direction is slightly longer than the diameter of the central rotating body 2806 and the length in the left-right direction is longer than the length in the front-rear direction. Further, the rear end side of the rolling surface portion 2803 extends to a portion ahead of the center of the central rotating body 2806, and both the left and right sides are bent obliquely toward the central rotating body 2806. The rolling surface portion 2803 is only inclined in the front-rear direction and is horizontal in the left-right direction. Near the front end of the rolling surface portion 2803, loss openings 2802 are opened on both the left and right sides with a winning opening 2801 in the center in the left-right direction in between. The winning opening 2801 and the losing opening 2802 are square holes having the same size and a square inner circumference, and the diagonal lines extend in the front-rear direction.

The central rotating body 2806 is provided with a plurality of disc-shaped protrusions protruding upward. The central rotating body 2806 is constantly rotating at a constant speed in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view.

The lateral rotating body 2807 is constantly rotating at a speed faster than that of the central rotating body 2806. In the laterally rotating body 2807, one projecting piece projects in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and the game ball B can be driven into the rear end side of the side surface portion 2805 by the projecting piece. The lateral rotating body 2807 on the left side is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the plan view, and the horizontal rotating body 2807 on the right side is rotated in the clockwise direction in the plan view.

In the distribution unit 2800 of the present embodiment, the central rotating body 2806 rotates at a speed of 16.7 rpm, and the lateral rotating body 2807 rotates at a speed of 625 rpm, which is much higher than that of the central rotating body 2806. As described above, since the rotation speed of the laterally rotating body 2807 is high, even if the laterally rotating body 2807 is provided with a detection piece to detect the presence or absence of rotation, the sensor may not be able to reliably detect the detection piece. is there. More specifically, the sensor that detects the detection piece operates at regular intervals to detect the detection piece. Therefore, for example, if the detection piece, the rotation cycle, and the sensor detection cycle are the same, the detection is performed. Since it may not be possible to detect a piece at all, it is necessary to make the detection cycle of the sensor sufficiently shorter than the rotation cycle of the detection piece. When the rotation of the detection piece is fast and the rotation cycle is further shortened, the detection cycle of the sensor also needs to be shortened. However, when the detection cycle of the sensor is shortened, signals are frequently exchanged between the sensor and the control unit. This increases the load on the control unit, increasing the risk of runaway and malfunction due to overload.

On the other hand, the present embodiment has a detection reduction gear (not shown) in which the rotation of the lateral rotating body 2807 from the rotation shaft is decelerated (for example, decelerated to 250 rpm) and transmitted. A detection piece is provided in the reduction gear for detection, and rotation is detected by a sensor. As a result, the rotation speed of the detection piece for detecting the rotation of the lateral rotating body 2807 becomes slower, so that the rotation can be reliably detected by the sensor, and the presence or absence of rotation of the lateral rotating body 2807 can be determined. .. Further, since the rotation speed of the detection piece is slowed down, it is not necessary to unnecessarily shorten the detection cycle in the sensor, the detection cycle can be set to an appropriate level, and the increase in the load applied to the main control board 1310 can be suppressed. Can be done.

In the distribution unit 2800, for example, the game ball B received in the predetermined variable winning opening is supplied to the vicinity of the right end of the guide surface portion 2804. The game ball B supplied near the right end of the guide surface portion 2804 is rolled to the vicinity of the front end of the right side surface portion 2805 and then repelled by the lateral rotating body 2807 rotating near the front end of the side surface portion 2805. .. Then, the game ball B bounced backward enters the rolling surface portion 2803 from the rear end side of the side surface portion 2805 through the central rotating body 2806, and rolls forward due to the inclination of the rolling surface portion 2803. .. Then, it is accepted by either the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802 provided near the front end of the rolling surface portion 2803, or enters the guiding surface portion 2804 through the side thereof. The game ball B that has entered the guide surface portion 2804 from the rolling surface portion 2803 will roll to any of the side surface portions 2805 on both the left and right sides according to the entered portion. The game ball B that has rolled from the guide surface portion 2804 to the left side surface portion 2805 is repelled by the rotating lateral rotating body 2807 in the same manner as the movement on the side surface portion 2805 on the right, and after the side surface portion 2805. It will enter the rolling surface portion 2803 from the end side through the central rotating body 2806.

As described above, in the distribution unit 2800, the basic flow of the game ball B supplied to the rolling surface portion 2803 rolls the rolling surface portion 2803 from either the left or right side surface portion 2805 through the central rotating body 2806. After moving, the game ball B is repeatedly sent by the guiding surface portion 2804 to either the left or right side surface portion 2805 until the game ball B is accepted by either the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802.

By the way, when the inner shape of the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802 provided on the rolling surface portion 2803 is circular, depending on the rolling direction and rolling speed of the game ball B with respect to the passing opening or the like. The game ball B may be kicked by the passing port (lip-out in golf terminology) and roll in a direction away from the passing port. Then, if the game ball B kicked by the passing opening (winning opening 2801) enters another passing opening (loss opening 2802) and the game ball B is thought to have entered the winning opening 2801, the winning opening 2801 There is a risk that the player will be kicked by the player and enter the next loss mouth 2802, disappointing the player and degrading his interest. Further, due to such a phenomenon, the variation in the acceptance probability (winning probability) of the game ball B to the winning opening 2801 in the rolling surface portion 2803 (distribution unit 2800) becomes large, and the acceptance probability to the winning opening 2801 becomes unstable. This may give the player a sense of distrust, or make it difficult to provide a pachinko machine with the same performance.

In the present embodiment, since the inner peripheral shape of the winning opening 2801 and the losing opening 2802 is a non-circular square, when the game ball B comes into contact with the edge of the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802, the game ball B is promptly made. Will be accepted into the winning opening 2801 and the losing opening 2802, and the game ball B will not be kicked by the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802 and accepted into another losing opening 2802 or the winning opening 2801. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball B from being kicked and accepted by the adjacent winning openings 2801 and the loss opening 2802. Therefore, the game ball B unnecessarily enters the loss opening 2802 and the player It is possible to reduce the disappointment of the player, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the player's interest in the game. In addition, it is possible to prevent the acceptance of the game ball B into the winning opening 2801 unscheduled and reduce the variation in the acceptance probability of the game ball B into the winning opening 2801, which gives the player a sense of distrust. In addition to being able to avoid this, it is possible to reliably provide the pachinko machine 1 having the same performance as the acceptance probability to the winning opening 2801.

Further, since the inner peripheral shape of the winning opening 2801 and the losing opening 2802 is made into a non-circular square and the diagonal line is provided so as to extend in the front-rear direction, the peripheral edges of the winning opening 2801 and the losing opening 2802 are provided. Since each of the constituent sides extends in a direction that intersects the left-right direction (diagonal direction), the edges (sides) of the winning opening 2801 and the losing opening 2802 extend in the left-right direction. Compared to the case, the relative movement distance between the game ball B due to abnormal vibration or impact in the front-rear direction such as hitting or shaking the pachinko machine 1 and the edge (side) of the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802 is determined. It can be shortened and the influence of abnormal vibration, impact, etc. can be reduced. Therefore, even if the pachinko machine 1 is hit or shaken to cause an abnormal vibration or impact when the game ball B enters the winning opening 2801, the influence of the abnormal vibration or impact can be reduced. , It is possible to prevent the achievement of fraudulent acts in which the game ball B is illegally won in the winning opening 2801.

Further, since the weir portion 2808 provided along both the left and right sides of the rolling surface portion 2803 is projected upward shorter than the radius of the game ball B, the game ball B is projected on the rolling surface portion 2803 with the weir portion 2808. Even if the pachinko machine 1 is hit or shaken to cause an abnormal vibration or impact in the left-right direction while in contact with the game ball B, the contact point with the weir portion 2808 of the game ball B is sufficiently larger than the center of gravity of the game ball B. Since it is located below, the weir portion 2808 moves relative to the bottom of the game ball B due to the force acting by the abnormal vibration, impact, etc., and the weir portion 2808 moves through the weir portion 2808. The rolling direction of is not changed from the front direction to the left and right direction. Therefore, abnormal vibration, impact, or the like that hits or shakes the pachinko machine 1 acts on the game ball B that is rolling on the rolling surface portion 2803 via the weir portion 2808, and the rolling direction is changed. Since it is possible to prevent this from happening, the rolling direction of the game ball B is directed toward the winning opening 2801 due to the abnormal vibration, impact, etc., and it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts that are illegally accepted into the winning opening 2801. This makes it possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side where the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

In addition, since the diagonal extension direction of the squares of the winning opening 2801 and the losing opening 2802 is directed in the front-rear direction, the winning opening 2801 and the losing opening 2802 are viewed from the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1. The shape of the can be made to look easier to understand. Therefore, distribution having a rolling surface portion 2803 provided with a winning opening 2801 and a losing opening 2802 having a non-circular shape (here, it looks like a rhombus), which has never been seen in the pachinko machine 1 so far. Since the unit 2800 can be shown to the player, it is possible to give a strong impact to the player, to provide the pachinko machine 1 having a high appeal to the player, and to provide the pachinko machine 1 as a gaming machine to play. Can be easily selected, and the game with the pachinko machine 1 can be enjoyed and the deterioration of the interest can be suppressed.

In the above embodiment, the non-circular winning opening 2801 and the losing opening 2802 have the same shape, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the inner peripheral shape of the winning opening 2801 and the losing opening 2802 is not limited to this. May have different shapes from each other, and the winning opening 2801 can be made more conspicuous.

In the V distribution unit 2660, when assembled on the game board 5, the unit case 2665 is attached to the rear side of the attacker base plate 2610, and the V winning opening door body 2661 passes through the fifth opening 2611e of the base plate main body 2611. Is configured to be able to move forward and backward from the front surface of the attacker base plate 2610. Further, in the V distribution unit 2660, the V winning opening door body 2661 is colored in a predetermined color (for example, red, black, blue, etc.) and is configured to stand out. Further, in the V distribution unit 2660, the unit case 2665 is formed transparently so that the inside can be visually recognized from the outside and light can be transmitted.

Further, in the V distribution unit 2660, the V winning opening sensor 2603 and the losing opening sensor 2604 are in contact with the sensor contact portion 2665a on the lower surface of the unit case 2665. The sensor contact portion 2676b of the center right lower ball path 2676 is in contact with the V winning opening sensor 2603 and the losing opening sensor 2604 from the left-right direction, the lower side, and the rear side. That is, the V winning opening sensor 2603 and the losing opening sensor 2604 are sandwiched between the V distribution unit 2660 and the center right lower ball path 2676, and their movements to the vertical, backward, and horizontal directions are restricted (FIG. 162). See).

When the V distribution unit 2660 is not energized with respect to the V distribution solenoid 2662, the V winning opening door body 2661 advances due to the urging force of the spring of the V distribution solenoid 2662, and the front end is the attacker base plate 2610. It protrudes forward from the front surface of the game ball B, which makes it impossible to accept the game ball B into the V winning opening 2008. That is, the V winning opening 2008 is closed. As a result, the game ball B that has been accepted by the second major winning opening 2007 and has flowed down toward the V winning opening 2008 can be guided to the right losing opening 2009 by the inclination of the V winning opening door body 2661. The game ball B can be distributed to the loss opening 2009.

Then, the game ball B distributed (accepted) to the loss opening 2009 is detected by the loss opening sensor 2604 on the front surface of the attacker base plate 2610, and then guided to the rear by the attacker front plate 2620, and is guided to the rear by the attacker base plate 2610. It enters the passage portion 2676a of the center right lower ball path 2676 through the seventh opening 2611g of 2610. Then, the game ball B that has entered the passage portion 2676a of the lower right ball path 2676 of the center is handed over to the back ball guiding unit 3100 of the back unit 3000 from its downstream end (rear end), and downward from the back ball guiding unit 3100. It is discharged.

On the other hand, when the V distribution solenoid 2662 is energized, the plunger 2662a is immersed against the urging force of the spring, and the opening / closing link 2667 rotates via the plunger head 2666 attached to the tip of the plunger 2662a. Due to the rotation of the opening / closing link 2667, the V winning opening door body 2661 retracts and the front end is positioned behind the front surface of the attacker base plate 2610. As a result, the V winning opening 2008 is opened and the game ball B can be accepted. In this state, if the game ball B received in the second major winning opening 2007 flows down, it will be accepted in the V winning opening 2008. That is, it will be distributed to the V winning opening 2008.

The V distribution solenoid 2662 may be energized at regular intervals regardless of the progress of the game, or the game ball B may be energized to the first lower start port 2003 or the first upper start port 2004. It is also possible to energize in a predetermined pattern according to the first special symbol or the second special symbol drawn by the acceptance or the acceptance of the game ball B into the second starting port 2005.

The game ball B distributed (accepted) to the V winning opening 2008 is guided to the rear by the attacker front plate 2620 after being detected by the V winning opening sensor 2603 on the front surface of the attacker base plate 2610, and is guided to the rear by the attacker base plate 2610. It enters the passage portion 2676a of the center right lower ball path 2676 through the seventh opening 2611g of the center. Then, the game ball B that has entered the passage portion 2676a of the lower right ball path 2676 of the center is handed over to the back ball guiding unit 3100 of the back unit 3000 from its downstream end (rear end), and downward from the back ball guiding unit 3100. It is discharged.

Therefore, since the V distribution unit 2660 becomes smaller, it is possible to easily secure a space in the rear, so that the accessory or decoration in the rear can be made larger, or a new accessory or decoration can be arranged in the rear. By doing so, the pachinko machine 1 can be made more conspicuous, the player's interest can be strongly attracted, and the player can be more entertained by the characters behind the player. It is possible to suppress a decline in the interest in the game.

Further, since the unit case 2665 of the V distribution unit 2660 is attached after the attacker base plate 2610, the unit case 2665 (V distribution solenoid 2662) is made difficult to see from the player side by the attacker base plate 2610.

The door body 2701 of the opening / closing unit 2700 has a predetermined width from the front end to the rear, and is inclined so that the lower surface moves upward as the lower surface moves forward. That is, it is tapered so that the front end becomes thinner. As a result, when the door body 2701 moves forward, it is difficult to bite the game ball B between the front plate (not shown) and the front end of the door body 2701, and even if it is bitten, the friction is reduced so that it can be bitten. The number is reduced.

The solenoid 2702 is held in the unit case 2705 in a direction in which the plunger 2702a, which moves forward and backward by energization, projects to the right. The solenoid 2702 has a spring (not shown), and the spring urges the plunger 2702a in a protruding direction. The tip of the plunger 2702a is formed in a disk shape.

Specifically, two band holding portions 2706 are provided on the left side surface 2705L of the unit case 2705, and one is provided on the right side surface of the unit case 2705. Each band holding portion 2706 is provided with an annular opening facing in the vertical direction. The band holding portion 2706 is tightened (bound) together with the wiring EC connected to the solenoid 2702, the ball sensor 2711, etc. in a state where the band portion CTa of the binding band CT is passed through the annular portion, thereby tightening (binding) the wiring EC. It is for holding in the unit case 2705.

Two mounting portions 2707 are provided, and each of them projects outward in a flange shape from the left and right side surfaces of the unit case 2705. The sensor holding portion 2710d is integrally provided with the mounting portion 2707 protruding from the left side surface 2705L of the unit case 2705. The sensor holding portion 2710d closes a part of the portion of the U-shaped sensor holding portion 2710d that can accommodate a part of the ball sensor 2711 on the base plate 2710 and is open to the rear. As a result, the backward movement of the ball sensor 2711 held by the sensor holding unit 2710d can be restricted. The sensor holding portion 2710d has a U-shaped open portion facing to the right (unit case 2705 side).

In the opening / closing unit 2700 of the present embodiment, the two mounting portions 2707 are mounted in a state of being assembled on the game board 5 with the front surface of the two mounting portions 2707 in contact with the rear end of the mounting boss 2710c of the base plate 2710. In the ball sensor 2711, the front portion where the detection hole is provided through the second opening 2710b from the rear of the base plate 2710 projects forward from the front surface of the base plate 2710, and the rear portion is a U-shaped sensor holding portion 2710d. It is housed inside.

As a result, the ball sensor 2711 is positioned at a predetermined position. Further, as described above, since the left side surface 2705L on the outer surface of the unit case 2705 is in contact with a part of the sphere sensor 2711, the unit case 2705 moves the sphere sensor 2711 in a predetermined direction depending on the portion. It has a function to regulate.

In the present embodiment, the wiring EC connected to the solenoid 2702 extends from the rear portion of the left side surface 2705L of the unit case 2705 to the outside, and the rear end of the ball sensor 2711 provided on the left side of the unit case 2705. The wiring EC connected to is extended rearward. Then, the wiring ECs are extended to the right along the lower surface of the unit case 2705, and are fastened to the band holding portion 2706 provided at the lower rear end on the right side surface of the unit case 2705 by the binding band CT.

At this time, the wiring EC connected to the solenoid 2702 is tightened with a small margin, and the wiring EC connected to the ball sensor 2711 is tightened with a large margin. As a result, when the unit case 2705 is removed from the base plate 2710, the ball sensor 2711 is not pulled backward by the wiring EC until the unit case 2705 is separated from the base plate 2710 to some extent. That is, the opening / closing unit 2700 can be separated from the base plate 2710 to some extent while the ball sensor 2711 is held by the sensor holding portion 2710d, and the opening / closing unit 2700 can be confirmed (maintenance).

Further, since the wiring EC connected to the ball sensor 2711 is held by the band holding portion 2706 by the binding band CT, even if the opening / closing unit 2700 is removed from the base plate 2710 together with the ball sensor 2711, the wiring EC The opening / closing unit 2700 and the ball sensor 2711 are connected to each other, so that the ball sensor 2711 can be prevented from being lost.

According to the opening / closing unit 2700 of the present embodiment, since the solenoid 2702 is provided so that the plunger 2702a moves back and forth in the left-right direction, the size of the opening / closing unit 2700 in the front-rear direction can be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, since the opening / closing unit 2700 becomes smaller, it is possible to easily secure a space in the rear, so that the rear accessory or decoration can be made larger, or a new accessory or decoration can be arranged in the rear. By doing so, the pachinko machine 1 can be made more conspicuous, the player's interest can be strongly attracted, and the player can be more entertained by the backing characters, etc., for the player's game. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest.

Further, since the unit case 2705 of the opening / closing unit 2700 is mounted after the base plate 2710, the base plate 2710 makes it possible to make the unit case 2705 (solenoid 2702) difficult to see from the player side, and the solenoid 2702 It is possible to suppress the deterioration of the appearance due to the appearance, and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 having a good appearance.

Further, since the unit case 2705 holding the door body 2701 and the solenoid 2702 is composed of two parts, the first case portion 2703 and the second case portion 2704, the increase in the number of parts of the opening / closing unit 2700 is suppressed. It is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1.

Further, since the unit case 2705 is composed of the first case portion 2703 and the second case portion 2704, the door body 2701 and the solenoid 2702 are sandwiched between the first case portion 2703 and the second case portion 2704. It is possible to hold the door in such a way that the labor required for assembly can be simplified.

Further, since the sensor contact portion 2708 is provided on the outer surface of the unit case 2705 of the opening / closing unit 2700 so that the sphere sensor 2711 contacts the outer surface of the unit case 2705, the unit case 2705 causes the sphere sensor 2711 to come into contact with the sphere sensor 2711. The movement in a predetermined direction can be regulated, and the ball sensor 2711 can be positioned at a predetermined position. Further, when assembling the game board 5, the ball sensor 2711 can be guided by the sensor contact portion 2708 of the unit case 2705, and the assembling work can be facilitated.

Further, since the unit case 2705 of the opening / closing unit 2700 is provided with a plurality of annular band holding portions 2706, the wiring EC is tightened together with the wiring EC through the band portion CTa of the binding band CT to the band holding portion 2706. It can be held in the case 2705, and the wiring EC can be made difficult to see from the player side by collecting the wiring EC.

Further, since a plurality of band holding portions 2706 are provided, the required band holding portion 2706 can be used depending on the routing direction of the wiring EC. Therefore, by changing the mounting position of the opening / closing unit 2700 due to a model or design change, even if the wiring EC routing direction changes, it is possible to handle it by using any of the band holding portions 2706. The highly versatile opening / closing unit 2700 can be used, and the opening / closing unit 2700 can be diverted, so that an increase in cost for the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed.

Further, since the band holding portion 2706 is provided in the unit case 2705, before assembling the game board 5, the wiring EC of the ball sensor 2711, which is separate from the opening / closing unit 2700, is connected by the binding band CT to the band holding portion 2706. It is possible to prevent the ball sensor 2711 from being forgotten to be attached during assembly.

Further, since the unit case 2705 is provided with the sensor contact portion 2708 that abuts on the rear end of the ball sensor 2711, the opening / closing unit 2700 is held in a state where the ball sensor 2711 is held by the sensor holding portion 2710d of the base plate 2710.

[5-9d-2h. Mounting the sensor in the attacker unit]
Next, with respect to the attachment of the sensors (here, the second start port sensor 2601, the second large winning opening sensor 2602, the V winning opening sensor 2603, and the loss opening sensor 2604) in the attacker unit 2600 of the center accessory 2500, FIG. 152. It will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 154, 162, 164 and the like. FIG. 164 shows the relationship between the attacker front plate, the second starting port sensor, the second large winning opening sensor, the V winning opening sensor, the loss opening sensor, the attacker base plate, and the center right lower ball passage in the attacker unit of the center accessory. Is an explanatory view showing a perspective view. In addition, in FIG. 153, in order to make it easy to understand the mounting state of the V winning opening sensor 2603 and the losing opening sensor 2604, the positional relationship between them and the center right lower ball path 2676 is shown in a state where they are not decomposed.

First, the outer shape of the sensor (ball sensor) such as the second starting port sensor 2601, the second large winning opening sensor 2602, the V winning opening sensor 2603, and the loss opening sensor 2604 will be described. The ball sensor has a detection hole through which the game ball B can pass for detecting the game ball B. The ball sensor is formed into a rectangle whose outer shape is the size of two squares arranged side by side when viewed from the axial direction of the detection hole for detecting the game ball B, and is formed from the center of the rectangle in the longitudinal direction. There is also a detection hole on one side. Further, a C chamfer is provided at one of the four corners of the rectangle near the detection hole. Further, in the sphere sensor, the axial core direction of the detection hole is formed to have a thickness of about half the diameter of the detection hole. Therefore, the sphere sensor is formed in a thin flat plate shape in which a detection hole is provided on one side of the center in the longitudinal direction. A substrate and a connector of the ball sensor are housed inside the ball sensor on the side opposite to the detection hole with respect to the center in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, a connector is provided on both end faces of the ball sensor in the longitudinal direction far from the detection hole to which the wiring EC from the outside is connected. Hereinafter, the side of the ball sensor in which the detection hole is provided from the center in the longitudinal direction is referred to as a detection side, and the opposite side is referred to as a connector side.

The attachment of the second starting port sensor 2601 in the attacker unit 2600 will be described. The second starting port sensor 2601 is for detecting the game ball B received in the second starting port 2005. The second start port sensor 2601 is oriented so that the detection side is located forward of the center in the longitudinal direction. The second start port sensor 2601 is housed in a sensor holding portion 2623 whose detection side is opened rearward in the attacker front plate 2620. As a result, the second starting port sensor 2601 is restricted from moving in the forward, vertical, and horizontal directions by the attacker front plate 2620. Further, the second start port sensor 2601 is held by the sensor holding portion 2623 of the attacker front plate 2620 in a state in which the axis of the detection hole is tilted so as to be higher on the right side in the front view with respect to the horizontal direction. That is, the second start port sensor 2601 is positioned by the attacker front plate 2620 with the axis of the detection hole tilted.

The second start port sensor 2601 detects the game ball B circulating to the left, and the accuracy must be particularly improved for positioning the detection hole in the axial center direction. Therefore, the second start port sensor is used. The sensor holding portion 2623 of the attacker front plate 2620 accommodating the front end side (detection side) of 2601 is formed in a U shape so as to surround the peripheral edge of the detection side of the second starting port sensor 2601. As a result, the second start port sensor 2601 can be positioned at a desired position with high accuracy, so that the game ball B guided to the left by the guide piece 2636 of the second start port opening / closing unit 2630 is smoothly detected. It can be detected by passing through the hole, and the stagnation or stagnation of the game ball B on the guide piece 2636 can be suppressed.

Further, the plurality of openings 2721 of the door body 2720 illuminate the game ball B on the door body 2720 by the light from the LED of the first prize opening decorative substrate 2672 provided below the first prize opening 2006. Unlike conventional pachinko machines, it is not necessary to install LEDs (decorative substrates) above and below the door body, respectively, and one first major winning opening decorative substrate 2672 inside the first major winning opening 2006. And the game ball B on the door body 2720 can be light-emittingly decorated, and an increase in cost for the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed.

Further, since the light from the LED of the first prize opening decorative substrate 2672 is illuminated on the game ball B from below through the plurality of openings 2721 of the door body 2720, the game ball B is used like a conventional pachinko machine. Compared with the case where the light from the rear is illuminated, the light from the LED can be made difficult to reach the eyes of the player directly, and it is possible to reduce the appearance of dazzling light. Further, when the light from the LED reaches the player's eyes directly, it looks dazzling, and it is possible to prevent the game ball B from becoming difficult to see, and it is possible to make the game ball B easier to see.

Further, since the door body 2720 is provided with a plurality of openings 2721 that penetrate vertically, dust and dirt that have fallen on the door body 2720 can be discharged downward through the openings 2721, and the door body can be discharged downward. It is possible to prevent dust and dirt on the 2720 from hindering the distribution of the game ball B and the advance / retreat of the door body 2720.

The mounting boss 2614 to which the binding pedestal 2550 is mounted is provided so as to project rearward from the attacker base plate 2610 and partially overlap with the rib 2618 extending linearly in the left-right direction. Therefore, the binding pedestal 2550 is attached to the attacker base plate 2610 in a state where the outer circumference of the mounting boss 2614 is surrounded by the concave wall portion 2554f and the lower wall portion 2554e is in contact with the upper side surface of the rib 2618. The mounting boss 2614 of the attacker unit 2600 is provided in advance at various locations. Therefore, the plurality of mounting bosses 2614 may be used or not used depending on the model or the like.

The two binding pedestals 2550 of the center accessory 2500 are provided at the boundary between the main body unit 2510 and the attacker unit 2600, at a position close to the inner circumference of the frame of the frame-shaped center base 2511. The two binding pedestals 2550 are provided at relatively close positions, and the respective band holding portions 2552 are attached with the annular opening facing the left-right direction.

Further, the two binding pedestals 2550 of the center accessory 2500 are formed in the same color (transparent here) as the center base 2511 of the main body unit 2510 and the attacker base plate 2610 of the attacker unit 2600. As a result, the binding pedestal 2550 is made inconspicuous when assembled on the game board 5.

As shown in FIG. 170, the binding pedestal 2550 of the present embodiment has a plurality of wiring ECs by tightening together with a plurality of wiring ECs in a state where the band portion CTa of the binding band CT is passed through the annular band holding portion 2552. It can be attached to the center accessory 2500 (center base 2511 and attacker base plate 2610) in a bundled state. As a result, it is possible to prevent the plurality of wiring ECs from being separated and protruding into the frame of the center accessory 2500, so that the wiring ECs can be seen from the player side and the appearance is deteriorated.

Further, according to the binding pedestal 2550 of the present embodiment, since the wiring EC bundled by the binding band CT is attached to the center base 2511 and the attacker base plate 2610 of the center accessory 2500 via the binding pedestal 2550, the center base Compared with the case where the band holding portion is directly provided on the 2511 or the attacker base plate 2610, it is possible to make it easier to respond to model changes and design changes, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1. Further, when it is desired to move the wiring EC away from the center accessory 2500 due to maintenance or the like, the binding pedestal 2550 can be removed to keep the wiring EC away from the center accessory 2500 without cutting the binding band CT. Workability can be improved.

More specifically, by separating the binding pedestal 2550 while maintaining the binding state of the plurality of wiring ECs by the binding band CT, the plurality of wiring ECs are bundled from the fixed position (attachment position of the binding pedestal 2550). It is possible to shift. As a result, the following effects can be achieved. That is, in the past, when checking the installation status of parts behind a plurality of wiring ECs, the plurality of wiring ECs that were bound by the binding band CT at a fixed position are cut one by one by cutting the binding band CT. According to the present embodiment, it was necessary to put the wires in the unbound state and to return the unbound wiring ECs, which were separated one by one after confirmation, to be bound by a new binding band CT at a fixed position. By simply attaching and detaching the binding pedestal 2550, the above-mentioned trouble is eliminated, and it becomes easy to check the installation status of the parts behind the plurality of wiring ECs.

Further, when assembling the game board 5, a plurality of wiring ECs are bundled together with the band holding portion 2552 by the binding band CT in advance and held by the binding pedestal 2550, so that the wiring ECs are less likely to interfere with the assembly. Therefore, the assembly work can be facilitated, and the increase in cost can be suppressed.

Further, since the plurality of binding pedestals 2550 are mounted relatively close to each other, and the band holding portions 2552 are provided so as not to be positioned on the axis perpendicular to the annular opening. , A plurality of wiring ECs held by a plurality (series) of binding pedestals 2550 are bent in an S shape between the two binding pedestals 2550. As a result, as compared with the case where a plurality of wiring ECs are held linearly between the two binding pedestals 2550, a margin of length is given to the plurality of wiring ECs, so that the temperature, humidity, etc. Even if the wiring EC expands and contracts due to changes in the environment, the expansion and contraction of the wiring EC can be absorbed by the length margin, and the occurrence of problems such as disconnection can be suppressed.

Further, since the wiring EC can be bent in an S shape between the two binding pedestals 2550 to allow a margin in the length of the wiring EC, all the binding pedestals 2550 can be used for maintenance or the like. By removing one binding pedestal 2550 without removing it, the member to which the wiring EC is connected can be separated from the center accessory 2500 to some extent, and the labor required for maintenance and the like can be facilitated. ..

Further, by attaching the binding pedestal 2550 so that the rib 2516 of the center base 2511 and the rib 2618 of the attacker base plate 2610 come into contact with the peripheral wall portion 2554, the binding pedestal 2550 rotates about the axis of the mounting hole 2553. This can be prevented, the wiring EC route held by the binding band CT in the band holding portion 2552 can be prevented from changing, and the wiring EC can be maintained at a desired position. It can be continued, and the wiring EC can be made difficult to see from the player side to improve the appearance.

In this embodiment, the binding pedestal 2550 is attached to the center accessory 2500, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the binding pedestal 2550 is attached to the game panel 1100, the back unit 3000, the attacker, and the like. The wiring EC may be held via the binding band CT.

It is extended. Therefore, when both ends (connector side) of the harness WH1 (plurality of wiring ECs) locked to the wiring locking portion 3011 and the wiring locking portion 1603 are pulled, the harness WH1 becomes the wiring locking portion 1603 or the wiring clerk. The tip of the stop portion 3011 moves in the direction opposite to the extending direction, and the harness WH1 does not come off from the wiring locking portion 1603 or the wiring locking portion 3011.

Further, as shown in FIG. 172, a harness WH2 composed of a small number of wiring ECs (here, two wiring ECs) is connected to the peripheral control unit 1500 so as to extend downward. This harness WH2 is locked to the wiring locking portion 1603 at the lower right of the rear view on the rear surface of the effect display device 1600, but goes under the harness WH1 which is bent upward between the two wiring locking portions 1603. It is being routed like this. As a result, the harness WH2 extending downward is provided with a margin in length and is prevented from hanging down.

Further, as shown in FIG. 172, the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 locked to the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 are tightened together with the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 by the binding band CT. Is bundled together. At this time, the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 are tightened with a strength that allows them to slide together with the binding band CT in the longitudinal direction in which the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 extend. Since the hook portion 1603a and the hook portion 3011a are provided at the tips of the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011, the binding band CT is provided together with the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 in the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring. It does not come off from the tip of the locking portion 3011.

Here, the binding band CT is a band portion CTa in which a plurality of ridges or grooves are provided at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction in a band shape, and the base end of the band portion CTa is connected and the tip of the band portion CTa is connected. It has a block-shaped lock portion CTb that allows the side to be inserted and prevents the band portion CTa from retreating by using a ridge. The binding band CT makes the band portion CTa loop-shaped (annular) by inserting the tip of the band portion CTa into the inside from the lower surface near the portion where the base end of the band portion CTa is connected in the lock portion CTb. By pulling the tip of the band portion CTa protruding from the upper surface of the lock portion CTb, the diameter of the loop formed by the band portion CTa can be reduced. At this time, although not shown, a lock mechanism is provided inside the lock portion CTb to prevent the band portion CTa from moving in the direction of exiting the lock portion CTb, and the band through which the lock portion CTb is inserted is provided. The part CTa does not return (backward).

Therefore, by inserting the tip of the band portion CTa into the lock portion CTb and pulling it so that the band holding portion 2706 and the wiring EC are located in the loop of the band portion CTa, the band portion 2706 and the wiring EC are pulled by the band portion CTa. Can be tightened and maintained in a cohesive state. After tightening with the binding band CT, the portion of the band portion CTa protruding from the lock portion CTb is cut to an appropriate length (for example, 0.5 mm to 2 mm) from the lock portion CTb. As a result, even if the band portion CTa moves in the direction of exiting from the lock portion CTb for some reason, it is possible to prevent the band portion CTa from immediately disengaging from the lock portion CTa and suppress the occurrence of a defect.

The cable tie CT of the present embodiment is formed in a milky white color having light transmission. The color of the binding band CT may be different depending on the mounting site, the operator, and the like. For example, if the color of the binding band CT is changed for each worker or cooperating company, it is possible to easily find work omissions in the subsequent process.

As the binding band CT, the band portion CTa is not detachable from the lock portion CTb, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the band portion CTa may be detachable. If the binding band CT is removable, it can be reused even after it is removed, so that the amount of waste can be reduced.

On the rear side of the game board 5, as shown in FIG. 172, the binding band CT is attached in a state where the lock portion CTb is in contact with the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011. The lock portion CTb of the binding band CT is in contact with a portion of the wiring locking portion 1603 or the wiring locking portion 3011 opposite to the harness WH1 or the harness WH2. In other words, the binding band CT is attached so that the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 are located between the harness WH1 or the harness WH2 and the lock portion CTb. As a result, since the lock portion CTb faces rearward, it is possible to facilitate the binding work by the binding band CT, confirmation of binding, and the like. In addition, the work of cutting the binding band CT can be facilitated. Further, as will be described in detail later, since the contact of the lock portion CTb with the harness WH1 or the harness WH2 can be avoided, the harness WH1 or the harness WH2 bound by the binding band CT can be attached to the wiring locking portion 1603 or the wiring staff. It can be protected by the stopper 3011.

Further, as shown in FIG. 172, the member (rear case) in which the wiring locking portion 1603 of the effect display device 1600 is formed and the back box 3010 are transparently formed, so that the wiring locking portion 1603 The portion of the wiring locking portion 3011 supported by the wiring locking portion 1603 or the wiring locking portion 3011 can be visually recognized from the outside (rear) through the wiring locking portion 1603 or the wiring locking portion 3011. As a result, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not all the wiring ECs constituting the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 are bundled by the binding band CT, and the binding work by the binding band CT is easy. can do.

Further, as shown in the figure, the binding band CT is attached so that the binding band CT (the band portion CTa) of the harness WH1 or the harness WH2 is in oblique contact with the harness WH1 or the harness WH2. As a result, the contact area can be widened, and the frictional resistance is increased to make it difficult to move (slide), as compared with the case where the binding band CT is brought into contact with the harness WH1 or the harness WH2 in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. can do.

Further, as shown in the figure, in the binding band CT in which the harness WH1 is bundled with the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011, the longitudinal direction of the band portion CTa is that of the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011. It is installed so as to extend diagonally with respect to the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. In other words, the cable tie CT is attached in a cross-shaped manner. As a result, in a state where the harness WH1 is bundled with the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 by the binding band CT, the longitudinal direction of the band portion CTa of the binding band CT is changed to the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion. When the binding band CT is tilted so as to approach the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of 3011, the tightening by the band portion CTa can be loosened, and the harness WH1 is connected to the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking together with the binding band CT. It is possible to easily slide the portion 3011 in the longitudinal direction. Further, when the binding band CT is returned to the inclined state after sliding, the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 can be tightened to return to the original difficult-to-slide state.

By the way, although detailed illustration is omitted, the rear surface of the peripheral control board box 1520 of the peripheral control unit 1500 locks the binding band CT in which the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 are bundled with the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011. It protrudes rearward from the portion CTb. As a result, even if the game board 5 is placed on the workbench with the rear surface facing down during the assembly work of the game board 5, the peripheral control board box 1520 comes into contact with the workbench, so that the lock portion of the binding band CT The workbench does not come into contact with the CTb. Alternatively, even if a plurality of game boards 5 are stacked and transported during the transfer work of the game board 5, the other game boards 5 come into contact with the peripheral control board box 1520, so that the other game boards 5 are brought into contact with the lock portion CTb. Does not come into contact with. Therefore, due to the presence of the peripheral control board box 1520, it is possible to prevent other members such as the work table and the game board 5 from coming into contact with the lock portion CTb of the binding band CT and being crushed. It is possible to prevent the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 from being disengaged from the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 due to the damage of the lock portion CTb, causing a problem.

Although not shown, in the state where the game board 5 of the present embodiment is assembled to the pachinko machine 1, the rear side of the game board 5 is covered by the back cover 640 of the main body frame 4. As a result, in the island equipment of the game hall, other members, such as the wiring EC connecting the pachinko machine 1 and the game hall side, the game ball B, etc., become the lock portion CTb of the binding band CT. Contact (contact) can be prevented by the back cover 640, and when other members or the like come into contact, the tightening of the band portion CTa by the lock portion CTb is released, and the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 are connected to the wiring locking portion. It is possible to prevent the wiring from being disengaged from the 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a problem caused by the binding band CT. Further, since the back cover 640 can prevent loosening and release of the tightening due to contact of other members with the lock portion CTb, use a binding band CT in which the band portion CTa can be attached and detached from the lock portion CTb. Can be done.

In the above embodiment, the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 are shown to be transparent, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the wiring EC can be seen through even if it is translucent or opaque. It may have a visible light transmittance. Alternatively, the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 may not have opaque light transmission.

Further, although not shown, the portion of the harness WH1 that is separated from the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 (for example, the portion between the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011) is specifically bound. You may bundle them in a band. As a result, even in the portion between the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 in the harness WH1, since the harness WH1 is bundled by the specific binding band, a plurality of wiring ECs constituting the harness WH1 are formed. It is possible to prevent the harnesses from being separated one by one over the entire length of the harness WH1. Here, the specific binding band has a different name from the above-mentioned binding band CT, but the difference in usage is clarified, and the specific binding band has the same configuration (structure) as the binding band CT.

As described above, according to the wiring locking portion 1603, the wiring locking portion 3011, and the binding band CT of the present embodiment, the following excellent effects can be obtained. More specifically, first, in a conventional pachinko machine, a harness composed of a plurality of wiring ECs is exposed on the rear surface of the back box. Then, since there is a risk that a problem may occur when the exposed harness comes into contact with other members, a plurality of harness support portions for supporting the harness are provided so that the harness is along the rear surface of the back box. .. The harness support portion of such a conventional pachinko machine extends along the rear surface of the back box and has a rod-shaped or strip-shaped portion having one end as a free end, and the back box is formed from the free end side. It is supported by inserting a harness between the harness and the harness support. However, in the conventional harness support portion, the harness or the wiring EC constituting the harness may come off, which may cause a problem.

In order to solve such a problem, in the present embodiment, the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 are bundled together with the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 composed of a plurality of wiring ECs by tightening with a binding band CT. In the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011, the wiring ECs are not separated from the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 one by one, and some of the separated wiring ECs are separated from the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking. It is possible to prevent the wiring from coming off from the portion 3011, and it is possible to prevent the wiring EC from being easily disconnected from the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011.

Further, since the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 composed of a plurality of wiring ECs can be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 while being bundled by the binding band CT, they are hidden by the harness WH1 and the harness WH2. When you want to check the members, the wiring ECs are not bundled by the binding band CT. Conventionally, the wiring ECs were moved (sliding) one by one from the harness, but multiple wiring ECs (harness WH1 and harness WH1) are used at once. The harness WH2) can be slid, the confirmation work can be facilitated, and the burden on the game hall side where the pachinko machine 1 is installed can be reduced.

Further, since the tips of the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 for supporting the harness WH1 are free ends, the harness is provided from the open free end side of the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011. The WH1 and the harness WH2 can be easily inserted, and the workability can be improved. At this time, since the hook portion 1603a and the hook portion 3011a protruding toward the effect display device 1600 and the back box 3010 are provided at the tips of the wiring lock portion 1603 and the wiring lock portion 3011, the binding band CT is used. When the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 are tightened together with the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 to form a bundle, the binding band CT is combined with the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 to form the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion.

Further, since the band portion CTa of the binding band CT is obliquely brought into contact with the harness WH1 and the harness WH2, the following excellent effects can be obtained. More specifically, when the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 are tightened and bound by the binding band CT, a force acts on the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 (wiring EC) from the band portion CTa of the binding band CT. Depending on the strength, the insulating coating film covering the wiring EC may deteriorate at an early stage, and problems such as electric leakage and short circuit may easily occur. On the other hand, when the band portion CTa of the binding band CT is brought into contact with the harness WH1 or the harness WH2 at an angle, the band portion CTa is wound in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the harness WH1 or the harness WH2 to be brought into contact with the harness WH1 or the harness WH2. The contact area between the band portion CTa and the harness WH1 or the harness WH2 (wiring EC) can be widened as compared with the case of doing so. Therefore, even if the binding band CT is tightened with the same strength, the force acting by the tightening can be widely dispersed and relatively small by making the contact at an angle to widen the contact area. Early deterioration can be suppressed, and the occurrence of problems such as electric leakage and short circuit can be suppressed.

Further, since the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 are extended in a strip shape, the harness WH1 and the harness together with the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 are provided by the binding band CT. When the WH2 is bundled, the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 have a width, so that the band portion CTa of the binding band CT automatically and diagonally contacts the harness WH1 and the harness WH2. It is possible to reliably provide the pachinko machine 1 that exhibits the above-described effects.

Further, since the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 composed of a plurality of wiring ECs are bundled by a specific binding band at a portion away from the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011, the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 are bundled. It is possible to prevent the plurality of wiring ECs that are configured from being separated one by one over the entire length of the harness WH1 and the harness WH2, and to avoid contact with other members of the separated wiring ECs. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of defects.

Further, since the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 are bundled and bundled at a portion away from the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 by the specific binding band, the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 move in the longitudinal direction for some reason. When pulled, the lock portion of the specific binding band comes into contact with the wiring locking portion 1603, the wiring locking portion 3011, and the binding band CT as the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 move, and the specific binding band further increases the number. The movement of the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 can be prevented.

Can be confirmed in. In this case, the colors of the binding band CT of the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 may be different from those of the specific binding band, so that the binding work can be easily confirmed. it can.

Further, since the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 are extended in a flat plate shape or a strip shape, there is a case where the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 are rod-shaped. In comparison, the contact area between the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 and the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 can be increased, so that the frictional resistance can be increased. As a result, it is possible to make it easier to exert the action and effect of the binding band CT as the movement regulating means, and it is possible to reliably regulate the movement of the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 and further avoid the occurrence of defects.

Further, since the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011 are extended in a flat plate shape or a strip shape, the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 are used in the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011. Since the plurality of wiring ECs constituting the wiring can be easily spread so as to line up along the surfaces of the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011, it is possible to easily dissipate heat from the wiring EC. At this time, since the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 can be visually recognized through the wiring locking portion 1603 and the wiring locking portion 3011, the plurality of wiring ECs constituting the harness WH1 and the harness WH2 are connected to the wiring locking portion 1603.

As described above, according to the mounting supporter 3050 of the present embodiment, even if the back box 3010 is not provided with a mounting boss for mounting a production unit such as the back-rear effect unit 3600, the mounting supporter 3050 can be simply installed. A mounting boss for mounting the effect unit or the like can be provided at a desired position on the back box 3010. In other words, a plurality of functional hole portions 3013 composed of two through holes are provided in advance in the back box 3010, and are attached to the functional hole portion 3013 of the portion corresponding to the attachment hole of the effect unit such as the back-rear effect unit 3600. By attaching the supporter 3050, a mounting boss for mounting the effect unit can be provided on the back box 3010. Therefore, even if the part of the back box 3010 to which the production unit or the like is mounted changes due to a design change or a model change, the production unit or the like can be changed by simply changing the mounting position of the mounting supporter 3050 without recreating the back box 3010. Since it can be attached, it is possible to easily respond to design changes and model changes, and it is possible to divert the back box 3010, so that an increase in cost for the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed.

Further, since the mounting supporter 3050 of the present embodiment is colored in a color different from that of the back box 3010, it becomes conspicuous when mounted on the back box 3010. Therefore, when assembling the game board 5, the inside of the back box 3010 The position of the mounting supporter 3050 can be easily recognized by the operator, and the position of the mounting supporter 3050 (mounting boss) can be easily understood, so that the mounting work of the production unit such as the back-rear effect unit 3600 can be performed.

Even if it becomes the bottom and has an R at the base of the protruding pin 3053, the portion of the protruding pin 3053 behind the rear surface of the main body 3051 does not become thicker, and the thickness (diameter) of the effective range of the protruding pin 3053 can be adjusted. It can be made uniform, and the protruding pin 3053 can be completely inserted into the functional hole 3013 until the front surface of the back box 3010 comes into contact with the rear surface of the main body 3051. Further, even if burrs are generated on the front end edge of the functional hole portion 3013 of the back box 3010, the burrs are accommodated in the groove portion, so that the burrs are sandwiched between the back box 3010 and the main body portion 3051. This can be avoided and the protruding pin 3053 can be completely inserted into the functional hole 3013. Therefore, it is possible to reliably exert the positioning effect when the back-rear effect unit 3600 by the protruding pin 3053 is attached, and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 that surely exhibits the above-mentioned action effect.

Further, even if the base of the protruding pin 3053 has an R, the portion thickened by the R can be moved to the front of the rear surface of the main body 3051 due to the presence of the groove, so that the base of the protruding pin 3053 is thickened. There is no gap between the back box 3010 and the main body 3051 due to the incomplete insertion into the functional hole 3013 due to the portion. Further, since the burr generated at the front end edge of the functional hole portion 3013 can be accommodated in the groove portion, the burr at the portion of the first mounting hole 3052 of the main body portion 3051 between the back box 3010 and the main body portion 3051. There is no gap in the space. Therefore, the mounting supporter 3050 is not mounted on the back box 3010 with a gap between the back box 3010 and the main body 3051, and is mounted on the back box 3010 via the mounting supporter 3050. The production unit such as the back-and-forth production unit 3600 does not rattle.

Further, since a groove is provided on the outer periphery of the base of the protruding pin 3053 on the rear surface of the main body 3051, the molten resin is formed due to the difference in plate thickness due to the presence of the protruding pin 3053 on the main body 3051 during injection molding of the mounting supporter 3050. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of sink marks on the front surface side of the main body 3051 when the resin is cured.

As a result, since the lock portion CTb faces rearward, it is possible to facilitate the binding work by the binding band CT, confirmation of binding, and the like. In addition, the work of cutting the binding band CT can be facilitated. Further, since the contact of the lock portion CTb with the harness WH3 can be avoided, the harness WH3 bound by the binding band CT can be protected by the wiring locking portion 3787b.

Further, since the gear cover 3787 on which the wiring locking portion 3787b is formed is transparent, the portion of the harness WH3 supported by the wiring locking portion 3787b can be visually recognized from the outside (rear) through the wiring locking portion 3787b. be able to. As a result, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not all the wiring ECs constituting the harness WH3 are bundled by the binding band CT, and the binding work by the binding band CT can be facilitated. it can.

Further, as shown in the figure, the binding band CT is attached so that the binding band CT (the band portion CTa of the band portion CTa) is in oblique contact with the harness WH3. As a result, the contact area can be widened and the frictional resistance can be increased to make it difficult to move (slide) as compared with the case where the binding band CT is brought into contact with the harness WH3 in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. it can.

Further, as shown in the figure, in the binding band CT in which the harness WH3 is bundled with the wiring locking portion 3787b, the longitudinal direction of the band portion CTa extends diagonally with respect to the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the wiring locking portion 3787b. It is installed so that it can be taken out. In other words, the cable tie CT is attached in a cross-shaped manner. As a result, while the harness WH3 is bundled with the wiring locking portion 3787b by the binding band CT, the longitudinal direction of the band portion CTa of the binding band CT approaches the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the wiring locking portion 3787b. By tilting the binding band CT, the tightening by the band portion CTa can be loosened, and the harness WH3 can be easily slid together with the binding band CT in the longitudinal direction of the wiring locking portion 3787b. Further, when the binding band CT is returned to the inclined state after sliding, the wiring locking portion 3787b can be tightened to return to the original difficult-to-slide state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 193, since the portion of the harness WH3 that is bent along the unit arm 3788 from the horizontal direction is twisted as a whole, the upper and lower parts of the right unit 3780 (back rear lower decorative body 3700) are twisted. By rotating the unit arm 3788 by sliding in the direction, even if a force acts on the harness WH3 via the unit arm 3788, the plurality of wiring ECs constituting the harness WH3 do not come apart.

On the other hand, in the normal state, the back-rear lower decorative body 3700 is located at the retracted position, which is the downward moving end, as shown in FIG. 185. When the back and lower decorative body 3700 is in the retracted position, the character "disastrous" of the first rotating decorative body 3710 is tilted diagonally to the left, and the character "drama" of the second rotating decorative body 3720, the third rotation. The letters "times" of the decorative body 3730 and the letters "avoid" of the fourth rotating decorative body 3740 are each rotated 180 degrees. The first rotating decorative body 3710 and the third rotating decorative body 3730 are provided at the same positions in the front-rear direction, respectively. The second rotating decoration 3720, the fourth rotating decoration 3740, and the left unit 3760 are provided at the same positions in the front-rear direction, respectively, and are provided behind the first rotating decoration 3710 and the third rotating decoration 3730. There is. Further, a rear decorative body 3750 and a right unit 3780 are provided behind the second rotating decorative body 3720, the fourth rotating decorative body 3740, and the left unit 3760. After this, a back rear upper decorative body 3650 is provided above the rear decorative body 3750 and the right unit 3780.

In the state where the back rear lower decorative body 3700 is in the retracted position, the left unit pin 3769a of the gear cover 3769 in the left unit 3760 is located at the downward moving end (lower end) of the connecting slit 3791 of the connecting guide 3790. Further, the connecting pin 3792 of the connecting guide 3790 is located at the downward moving end (lower end) of the right unit slit 3781c in the right slide base 3781 of the right unit 3780.

Further, in the state where the back rear lower decorative body 3700 is in the retracted position, the pinion gear 3768, which partially protrudes to the left from the left unit 3760, meshes with the left rack gear 3635 of the left elevating mechanism 3630. Further, the slide rack 3782 of the right unit 3780 is located at the moving end to the right, and the unit arm 3788 extends substantially horizontally in the left-right direction. The slide rack 3782 is urged to the left by a rack spring 3783. Further, in the left elevating mechanism 3630, the left elevating sensor 3634 detects the left elevating slider 3632.

When performing a movable effect of dropping the back rear upper decorative body 3650 from this normal state, first, in the right elevating mechanism 3610, the back rear right lower drive motor 3613 rotates the right spiral shaft 3611 to move the right elevating slider 3612. It is moved to the lower moving end (the position near the right slide support portion 3781b of the right slide base 3781 of the right unit 3780 in the back rear lower decorative body 3700). When the right elevating slider 3612 moves downward, it comes into contact with the auxiliary lower slider 3615 on the way and moves to the lower moving end together with the auxiliary lower slider 3615 against the urging force of the auxiliary spring 3616. As a result, the auxiliary spring 3616 is stretched for a long time to increase its urging force, and a strong urging force acts downward on the right slide support portion 3652c of the decorative body base 3652 via the auxiliary upper slider 3614. Even in this state (fallable state), the upper lock claw 3661b of the lock latch 3661 of the lock mechanism 3660 is inserted into the lock groove 3603 of the unit base 3601 and locked, so that the back rear upper decorative body 3650 falls.

Then, when the left unit 3760 rises and the left unit pin 3769a of the gear cover 3769 reaches the upward moving end (upper end) of the connecting slit 3791 of the connecting guide 3790, the left unit pin 3769a passes through the connecting slit 3791. The connecting guide 3790 is lifted upward, and the connecting guide 3790 starts to rise. Even at this time, since the pinion gear 3768 meshes with the left rack gear 3635, the first rotating decorative body 3710 further rotates in the counterclockwise direction. When the connecting guide 3790 starts to rise by the left unit pin 3769a of the left unit 3760, the connecting pin 3792 of the connecting guide 3790 slides upward in the right unit slit 3781c of the right slide base 3781 in the right unit 3780.

As a result, at the beginning when the connecting guide 3790 starts to rise by the left unit pin 3769a of the rising left unit 3760, only the left unit 3760 (first rotating decorative body 3710) and the connecting guide 3790 rise, and the right unit 3780 (the first). The bi-rotating ornament 3720, the third rotating ornament 3730, the fourth rotating ornament 3740, and the post-rotating ornament 3750) do not rise.

The left unit 3760 is further raised while lifting the connecting guide 3790 by the left elevating slider 3632, and the connecting pin 3792 of the connecting guide 3790 moves upward (upper end) of the right unit slit 3781c of the right slide base 3781 in the right unit 3780. At the time of reaching, a force for lifting upward acts on the left end side of the right unit 3780 via the connecting pin 3792 and the right unit slit 3781c. Even at this time, since the pinion gear 3768 meshes with the left rack gear 3635, the first rotating decorative body 3710 further rotates in the counterclockwise direction.

At the same time, in the right elevating mechanism 3610, the right elevating slider 3612 is rotated by the back rear lower right drive motor 3613 to raise the meshing right elevating slider 3612, and the right elevating slider 3612 is moved to the back rear upper decorative body 3650. The right slide support portion 3652c of the decorative body base 3652 is brought into contact with the right slide support portion 3652c from below, and the right slide support portion 3652c is moved upward. At this time, the right elevating slider 3612 is subjected to an upward urging force by the auxiliary spring 3616 via the auxiliary lower slider 3615 that is in contact with the right elevating slider 3612, so that the load applied to the ascent is reduced.

When the decorative body base 3652 (back rear upper decorative body 3650) is raised by the right elevating slider 3612 via the right slide support portion 3652c, the lower lock claw 3661c of the locking mechanism 3660 of the back rear upper decorative body 3650 is used for the back rear lower decoration. Since it is locked to the lock groove 3781e of the right slide base 3781 in the right unit 3780 of the body 3700, a force for lifting upward is applied to the right end side of the right unit 3780 via the lower lock claw 3661c and the lock groove 3781e. To do.

In this way, the left end side of the right unit 3780 is to be lifted upward from the connecting pin 3792 of the connecting guide 3790, and the right end side of the right unit 3780 is to be lifted upward from the lower lock claw 3661c of the lock mechanism 3660 of the back rear upper decorative body 3650. The right unit 3780 will start climbing for the first time here due to the action of the force. In this state, the right unit 3780 is lifted by the back-rear upper decorative body 3650, and the back-rear upper decorative body 3650 and the back-rear lower decorative body 3700 are combined and raised.

When the right unit 3780 starts to rise, the second rotating decoration 3720, the third rotating decoration 3730, the fourth rotating decoration 3740, and the rear decoration 3750 supported by the right unit 3780 are raised together. At this time, since the other end side of the unit arm 3788 extending to the left at the lower part of the right unit 3780 is slidably inserted into the rotation slit 3604 of the unit base 3601, the unit arm 3788 is one end thereof. It rotates in the counterclockwise direction around the side, and the other end side slides to the right in the rotation slit 3604.

When the unit arm 3788 of the right unit 3780 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the slide rack 3782 slides to the left from the right moving end, and the slide rack 3782 slides the second rotating decorative body 3720 and the first The quadruple decorative body 3740 rotates in the clockwise direction, and the third rotating decorative body 3730 rotates in the counterclockwise direction. Also at this time, since the left unit 3760 is raised, the first rotating ornament 3710 further rotates in the counterclockwise direction due to the engagement between the pinion gear 3768 and the left rack gear 3635.

At this time, since the slide rack 3782 is urged to the left by the rack spring 3783, the load applied to the rotation of the unit arm 3788 in the counterclockwise direction is reduced, and the second rotation decorative body 3720 is used. , The load applied to the rotation of the third rotating decorative body 3730 and the fourth rotating decorative body 3740 is reduced.

Then, when the right elevating second sensor 3618 detects the right elevating slider 3612 in the right elevating mechanism 3610, the rotation of the right spiral shaft 3611 and the left spiral shaft 3631 by the back rear lower right drive motor 3613 and the back rear lower left drive motor 3633 is performed. When stopped, the ascent of the right elevating slider 3612 and the left elevating slider 3632 is stopped. In this state, the back-rear upper decorative body 3650 and the back-rear lower decorative body 3700 are located at the central positions of substantially the center in the vertical direction. Further, the left elevating slider 3632 (left unit 3760) of the left elevating mechanism 3630 is located at the upward moving end.

In this state of the center position, as shown in FIG. 196, the character "disastrous" of the first rotating ornament 3710 is rotated 360 degrees and tilted diagonally to the left like the evacuation position, but half of the vertical direction.

In this non-volatile RAM, a unique ID code with a unique code (a code that exists only once in the world) for identifying an individual by the manufacturer of the main control MPU is stored in advance. Since the ID code once attached is stored in the non-volatile RAM, it cannot be rewritten even by using an external device. The main control MPU can take out the ID code from the non-volatile RAM and refer to it.

The main control MPU also has a built-in circuit that is forcibly reset by hardware when affected by electrical noise (hereinafter, referred to as "built-in reset circuit"). The built-in reset circuit monitors the contents of a predetermined register of the main control MPU, and when the register changes to a content that does not make sense, the main control MPU is forced to be affected by electrical noise. It is a circuit to reset. The forced reset by such a built-in reset circuit cannot be invalidated by being controlled by a user program. Therefore, when the main control MPU is forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit, the reset is performed without executing the main control side power off processing described later, and the main control side power on processing described later is executed again. Will be reset. In this case, since the main control side power off processing is not executed, a checksum (sum value) error of the main control built-in RAM always occurs, and the contents of the main control built-in RAM are completely erased (as described later). Will be cleared). Even if the main control MPU is forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit, the main control board 1310 (main control) does not output a reset signal to the payout control board 633 from the built-in reset circuit of the main control MPU. Only the MPU) will be restarted, and the payout control board 633 will be maintained in the activated state.

Further, the main control MPU is a hardware random number circuit that updates the big hit determination random number to be used for determining whether or not to generate the big hit game state among various random numbers related to the game by hardware (hereinafter, "hardware with built-in main control").

This main control built-in hard random number circuit generates random numbers within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, a numerical range of a value 0 to a maximum value of 65535 is preset), and an initial value is generated. The circuit is configured so that a predetermined value is not fixed as a value (that is, the initial value is not fixed), and a different value is set each time the main control MPU is reset. Specifically, when the main control MPU is reset, the main control built-in hard random number circuit first sets a single value within a predetermined numerical range as an initial value, and a clock signal (main) input to the main control MPU. Based on the control MPU and the clock signal output from a crystal oscillator (not shown) provided separately from the control MPU), other values within the predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another without duplication, and within the predetermined numerical range. When all the values in the above are extracted, one value in the predetermined numerical range is extracted again, and the other values in the predetermined numerical range are extracted at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU. Extract values one after another without duplication. The main control built-in hard random number circuit repeatedly performs such a high-speed lottery, and the main control MPU uses the value extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit at the time of acquiring the value from the main control built-in hard random number circuit as a random number for jackpot determination. It is designed to be set as.

The main control input circuit is not provided with a reset terminal for forcibly resetting the information in which the detection signals from the various sensors are input to the various input terminals, and does not have a reset function. Therefore, the main control input circuit is configured as a circuit in which a system reset signal from a main control system reset (not shown) is not input. That is, the main control input circuit outputs various signals based on the information from the various output terminals because the information based on the detection signals from the various sensors input to the various input terminals is not reset by the main control system reset.

By outputting a launch permission signal for permitting the launch of the game ball B, a launch permission signal for permitting the launch of the game ball B is output to the payout control board 633. The logic of the launch permission signal that conveys that the launch is permitted is set to the launch permission logic when the launch is permitted, while the launch stop logic (launch non-permission logic) in which the launch permission logic is reversed when the launch is not permitted. Is set to. As for the logic of the launch permission signal, as an initial value (default), the launch permission signal setting process in the main control side timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is started after the pachinko machine 1 is turned on (after the power is restored).

As the non-resident area transfer data, the order in which the screen data drawn on the effect display device 1600 according to the progress of the schedule data is transferred in advance from the image ROM to the non-resident area of the image RAM is defined.

The display control MPU extracts the first screen data of the schedule data corresponding to the control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 1511 from the display control ROM, outputs it to the VDP, and then outputs the screen data following the first screen data. Extract from the display control ROM and output to VDP. In this way, the display control MPU extracts the screen data arranged in time series in the schedule data from the display control ROM one by one from the first screen data and outputs the screen data to the VDP.

When the screen data output from the display control MPU is input, the VDP extracts sprite data from the image RAM based on the input screen data and generates drawing data to be displayed on the effect display device 1600. The generated drawing data is output to the effect display device 1600. Further, when the effect display device 1600 does not accept the screen data from the display control MPU, the VDP outputs an executing signal to that effect to the display control MPU. The line buffer method is adopted for VDP. This "line buffer method" means that the drawing data for one line that draws the left-right direction of the effect display device 1600 is held in the line buffer, and the drawing data for one line held in the line buffer is stored in the effect display device 1600. It is a method to output to.

An extremely large amount of sprite data is stored in the image ROM, and its capacity is large. When the capacity of the image ROM becomes large, that is, when the number of sprites drawn on the effect display device 1600 increases, the access speed of the image ROM cannot be ignored, which affects the speed of drawing on the effect display device 1600. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sprite data stored in the image ROM is transferred and copied to the image RAM having a high access speed, and the sprite data is extracted from the image RAM. The sprite data is basic data that is data before the sprite is expanded in the bitmap format, and is stored in the image ROM in a compressed state.

Here, the "sprite" will be described. The "sprite" is an image displayed on the effect display device 1600 as a unit. For example, when displaying various characters (characters) on the effect display device 1600, the data for drawing each person is called a "sprite". As a result, when displaying a plurality of people on the effect display device 1600, a plurality of sprites are used. In addition to people, houses, mountains, roads, etc. that make up the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be a single sprite. These sprites are drawn on the effect display device 1600 by setting the positions arranged on the screen and the vertical relationship when the sprites overlap each other (hereinafter, referred to as "the order of superimposing the sprites").

The sprite is composed of a plurality of rectangular areas having 64 pixels in each of the vertical and horizontal directions. The data for drawing this rectangular area is called a "sprite character". In the case of a small sprite, it can be expressed using one sprite character, and in the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, for example, a total of 6 sprite characters arranged in width 2 x height 3 etc. are used. Can be expressed. In the case of a larger sprite such as a background, a larger number of sprite characters can be used for expression. In this way, the number and arrangement of sprite characters can be arbitrarily specified for each sprite.

The effect display device 1600 repeats a main scan for setting a display state for each pixel in one direction along the pixels and a main scan in a direction intersecting the one direction, sequentially from left to right when viewed from the front. Driven by sub-scanning performed. When the drawing data for one line output from the effect display control unit 1512 is input to the effect display device 1600, one line is sequentially displayed from left to right when viewed from the front of the effect display device 1600 as the main scan. It is output to each pixel of. Then, when the output for one line is completed, the effect display device 1600 shifts to the line immediately below as a sub-scan, and similarly, when the drawing data for the next line is input, it is based on the drawing data for the next line. As the main scan, the output is sequentially output to one line of pixels from left to right when viewed from the front of the effect display device 1600.

[6-3c. Vibration alarm processing]
The vibration alarm processing by the peripheral control board 1510 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 204. FIG. 204 is a flowchart of vibration alarm processing in the game board. The "vibration alarm processing" is illegal by the vibration sensor 1040 when the game ball B enters the center distribution unit 2520 through the upper warp passage 2513 of the center accessory 2500 as an accessory and satisfies a predetermined condition. When a vibration is detected, an alarm is issued to notify that a fraudulent act is being performed.

More specifically, in the "vibration alarm processing", first, the "game ball accessory flag" in step S101 is another omitted flowchart, and the distribution is on the IN side of the center distribution unit 2520 as the accessory. The flag is set by judging the consistency between the detection of the game ball B by the ball entry sensor 2527 and the detection of the game ball B by the first upper start port sensor 2524 and the distribution ball discharge sensor 2528 on the OUT side. .. In particular,
Number on the IN side> Number on the OUT side ... Flag ON
Number on the IN side = Number on the OUT side ... Flag OFF
Number on the IN side <Number on the OUT side ... A flag is set as if an inconsistency notification was executed.

When the in-feature flag is not ON (flag OFF) in step S101, step S101 is repeated. If the flag inside the accessory is ON in step S101, ON / OFF of the “back-back-upper decorative body operating flag” is determined in the next step S102. When the back and back upper decorative body 3650 is operated (falling), the operating flag is turned on. When the operating flag is ON in step S102, the process returns to step S101. In step S102, when the operating flag is OFF, the process proceeds to the next step S103.

In step S103, ON / OFF of the “pressing operation effecting flag” is determined. The effecting flag is turned ON when the effect is produced by the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 in the effect operation unit 300 of the door frame 3. In step S103, when the effecting flag is ON, the process returns to step S101, and when the effecting flag is OFF, the process proceeds to the next step S104.

In step S104, ON / OFF of the “vibration reporting flag” is determined. When the vibration alarm is executed, the alarming flag is turned ON. In step S104, when the issuing flag is ON, the process returns to step S101, and when the issuing flag is OFF, the process proceeds to the next step S105.

In step S105, it is determined whether or not there is a “vibration detection command from the main control board”. When the vibration sensor 1040 detects vibration, the main control board 1310 transmits a vibration detection command to the peripheral control board 1510. In step S105, if there is no vibration detection command, the process returns to step S101, and if there is a vibration detection command, the process proceeds to the next step S106.

In step S106, after the "reporting process" is executed for a predetermined period, the normal state is restored. The “reporting process” of step S106 is executed on the peripheral control board 1510. Specifically, for example, the characters "vibration detection" are displayed for a predetermined period (for example, 5 minutes) in the center of the display screen of the effect display device 1600. In addition, the sound effect (siren) of the notification and the sound of "vibration detected" are repeated for a predetermined period (for example, 90 seconds), and the top center speaker and top side speaker provided in the door frame top unit 450, and the main body. Output is performed from the main body frame speaker 622 or the like provided in the frame 4. At this time, maximize the volume. Further, in the door frame 3, the effect operation unit 301 of the effect operation unit 300 is made to emit red light, and the door frame left side decorative body 426 of the door frame left side unit 420 and the door frame right side decoration of the door frame right side unit 430 are displayed. The body 435 and the door frame top decorative body 453 of the door frame top unit 450 are made to blink red and white. Then, the normal state is restored by the elapse of a predetermined period (for example, 5 minutes) or the reset by the staff of the game hall.

In this way, in the center distribution unit 2520 of the center accessory 2500, when the pachinko machine 1 is hit or shaken to cause vibration so that the game ball B is distributed to the first upper start port 2004, vibration is generated. Since an alarm is issued by the information processing, it is possible to hesitate to execute the fraudulent activity, and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 having a high deterrent force against the fraudulent activity.

At this time, since the operating flag of the back-rear upper decorative body 3650 is seen in step S102 and the effecting flag using the pressing operation unit 303 is seen in step S103, the back-rear upper decorative body 3650 is dropped. It is possible to avoid erroneous detection and notification of a warning due to vibration caused by the erroneous alarm or vibration that presses the pressing operation unit 303, which makes the player uncomfortable due to an erroneous alarm and reduces the interest in the game. It is possible to prevent it from being caused.

Further, in the center distribution unit 2520, as described above, the passage port 2532 of the crune 2530 has a non-circular shape, and the rolling surface portion 2531 is provided with peripheral surface portions 2531b having different angles so that the game ball B is provided on the peripheral wall portion 2533. It is difficult to make contact, and even if the pachinko machine 1 is hit or shaken to cause an abnormal vibration, the rolling direction of the game ball B is changed by the abnormal vibration and the pachinko machine 1 is illegally invaded into the passage port 2532. Since this is prevented, it is possible to double-protect against fraudulent activities in combination with vibration alarm processing, so it is possible to reliably prevent the achievement of fraudulent activities and further deter against fraudulent activities. It is possible to provide a powerful pachinko machine 1.

[7. Game content]
The content of the game played by the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 141 and the like. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game ball B stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 is operated by the player by rotating the handle 195 of the handle unit 180 arranged in the lower right corner of the front surface of the door frame 3. However, the game is driven into the upper part of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 on the game board 5, and the game by the game ball B is started. The game ball B driven into the upper part of the game area 5a flows down either the left side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the driving strength. The driving strength of the game ball B can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle 195, and the more the ball B is rotated in the clockwise direction, the stronger the ball can be driven. Up to 100 game balls can be continuously driven per minute. B, that is, the game ball B can be hit at intervals of 0.6 seconds.

Further, in the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted at appropriate positions in a predetermined gauge arrangement on the front surface of the game panel 1100, and when the game ball B comes into contact with the obstacle nails, the game ball B The flow speed is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball B so that the movements can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail, a windmill that rotates due to the contact of the game ball B is provided above the side upper left unit 2300 and to the left of the center accessory 2500.

When the game ball B driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the front view from the highest portion of the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500, the left side of the center accessory 2500, that is, the inside It circulates between the rail 1002 and the center accessory 2500 while abutting on a plurality of obstacle nails. On the left side of the center accessory 2500, the entrance of the upper warp passage 2513 and the entrance of the lower warp passage 2512 are always open so that the game ball B can be received.

The game ball B that has entered the upper warp passage 2513 is supplied to the crune 2530 of the center distribution unit 2520 provided in the frame of the center accessory 2500. The game ball B supplied to the crune 2530 turns in the dish-shaped croon 2530 and then is discharged to the lower first taxiway 2521, rolls to the right along the inclination of the first taxiway 2521, and is predetermined. The center distribution piece 2523, which advances and retreats in the rhythm of, is distributed to either the first upper start port 2004 or the distribution ball discharge port 2526 with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/2). The game ball B distributed to the first upper start port 2004 is accepted by the first upper start port 2004.

On the other hand, the game ball B that has entered the lower warp passage 2512 is supplied to the stage 2514 provided in the frame of the center accessory 2500, rolls on the stage 2514 in the left-right direction, and is discharged to the central discharge portion 2514a or the side. It is discharged from any of the parts 2514b so as to return into the game area 5a. Since the central release portion 2514a of the stage 2514 is provided in the center of the game area 5a in the left-right direction and directly above the first lower start port 2003, the game ball B released from the central release portion 2514a has a high probability of being the first It is accepted by the lower start port 2003. The game ball B released from the left and right side discharge portions 2514b of the central discharge portion 2514a may be received by the first lower start port 2003 with a certain probability.

When the game balls B are received in the first lower start port 2003 and the first upper start port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls B are sent from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. Is paid out to the upper plate 201, and on the main control board 1310, the first special symbol (for example, "missing", "small hit", "2R big hit", "5R big hit", "15R big hit", "probability change" (Probability change) hits, "time reduction (time reduction) hits", "probability change time reduction hits", "probability change time reduction no hits", "second big hits", etc.) will be drawn. If the lottery result of the first special symbol drawn is other than "missing", an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous occurs. Then, the lottery result of the first special symbol drawn is suggested to the player over a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds, also referred to as a special fluctuation time).

In the present embodiment, from the start of the special lottery to the suggestion of the lottery result of the first special symbol drawn by accepting the game ball B to the first lower start port 2003 and the first upper start port 2004 (special variation time). ), If the game ball B is received in the first lower start port 2003 or the first upper start port 2004, it is not possible to start suggesting the lottery result of the first special symbol, so that the first lottery was drawn first. (I) The start of suggestion of the lottery result of the first special symbol is suspended until the suggestion of the lottery result of the first special symbol is completed. The number of pending first special symbol lottery results is limited to four for each of the first lower start port 2003 and the first upper start port 2004, and for more than that, the first lower start is started. Even if the game ball B is accepted at the opening 2003 or the first upper starting opening 2004, the lottery result of the first special symbol is discarded without being reserved. As a result, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by accumulating the hold.

By the way, when the game ball B that has flowed down to the left side of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the upper warp passage 2513 or the lower warp passage 2512, it is moved toward the center side in the left-right direction by the shelf 2301 of the side upper left unit 2300 or the obstacle nail. There is a possibility that the side unit 2200 will be accepted into the general winning opening 2001, the sub-out port 2021 (left sub-out port 2021a), or the first lower starting port 2003 of the starting port unit 2100. Then, when the game balls B are received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. Will be done.

On the other hand, when the game ball B driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 5a enters the right side of the highest portion of the peripheral wall portion 2511a of the center accessory 2500, the upper right of the center accessory 2500. It passes through either the upper right first guide passage 2541a or the upper right second guide passage 2541b of the guide passage group 2541. The game ball B that has circulated through the upper right guide passage group 2541 circulates either the lower right first guide passage 2542a or the lower right second guide passage 2542b of the lower right guide passage group 2542 that is provided at intervals downward. Then, it is discharged above the attacker unit 2600.

A plurality of obstacle nails are planted between the upper right guide passage group 2541 and the lower right guide passage group 2542. Further, the lower right first guide passage 2542a of the lower right guide passage group 2542 has a large entrance, and a gate 2002 is provided at a part of the entrance. Therefore, the game ball B that has passed through the upper right guide passage group 2541 passes through the gate 2002 with a certain probability after coming into contact with a plurality of obstacle nails. Further, the game ball B that has passed through the gate 2002 circulates in the lower right first guide passage 2542a.

When the game ball B passes through the gate 2002 and is detected by the gate sensor 2501, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board 1310, and if the lottery result of the drawn normal symbols is "normal hit", the second start is performed. The second starting port 2005 closed by the door body 2631 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 to 10 seconds), and the game ball B can be accepted into the second starting port 2005. ..

In the present embodiment, in the ordinary lottery performed by the game ball B passing through the gate 2002, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the ordinary lottery to suggesting the lottery result of the ordinary symbol (for example,). 0.01 to 60 seconds, also referred to as normal fluctuation time). The suggestion of the lottery result of this ordinary symbol is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5. The second starting port 2005 is normally opened after the lapse of the fluctuation time.

If the game ball B passes through the gate 2002 between the time when the game ball B passes through the gate 2002 and the time when the lottery result of the normal symbol is suggested, the suggestion of the lottery result of the normal symbol cannot be started. Therefore, the start of suggestion of the lottery result of the ordinary symbol is suspended until the suggestion of the lottery result of the previous ordinary symbol is completed. In addition, the number of pending lottery results of ordinary symbols is limited to four, and even if the game ball B passes through the gate 2002, the number of pending cards is discarded without being reserved. As a result, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by accumulating the hold.

The game ball B that has circulated through the lower right guide passage group 2542 flows down to any of the attacker upper shelf portion 2612, the central exit 2605, and the right exit 2606 of the attacker unit 2600. The game ball B that has flowed down to the upper shelf of the attacker 2612 is guided to the left, passes through the attacker right guidance passage 2625, and is discharged to the left of the second prize opening 2007. Therefore, the game ball B that has flowed down onto the attacker upper shelf portion 2612 is not accepted by the second starting port 2005 and the second major winning opening 2007.

A second major winning opening 2007 is provided downstream (lower) of the central opening 2605 of the attacker unit 2600, and a guide piece 2636 of the second starting opening opening / closing unit 2630 is provided between the attacker unit 2600 and the second major winning opening 2007. It is provided so that it can move forward and backward. That is, a second starting port 2005 and a second winning opening 2007 are provided downstream of the central port 2605. On the other hand, the downstream side of the right opening 2606 joins the central opening 2605 side at a portion below the second starting opening 2005, and only the second major winning opening 2007 is provided. Therefore, the game ball B that has flowed down to the central opening 2605 may be accepted by the second starting port 2005 or the second big winning opening 2007, and the game ball B that has flowed down to the right mouth 2606 may be accepted by the second big winning opening 2005. May be accepted in mouth 2007.

Further, of the lower right first guide passage 2542a and the lower right second guide passage 2542b of the lower right guide passage group 2542, the central exit 2605 of the attacker unit 2600 is provided below the lower right first guide passage 2542a. The lower right first guide passage 2542a is more likely to be accepted by the central port 2605, that is, the second starting port 2005 than the lower right second guide passage 2542b.

When the game ball B is received in the second starting port 2005 of the attacker unit 2600, a predetermined number (for example, one) of the game balls B from the payout device 580 is sent to the upper plate via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. In addition to being paid out to 201, in the main control board 1310, the second special symbol (for example, "missing", "small hit", "2R big hit", "5R big hit", "15R big hit", "probability change (probability change)" A lottery will be held for "win", "time reduction (time reduction) hit", "probability change time reduction hit", "probability change time reduction no hit", "second big hit", etc.). If the lottery result of the second special symbol drawn is other than "missing", an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous occurs. Then, the lottery result of the second special symbol drawn by the player takes a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds, also referred to as a special fluctuation time) longer than the special fluctuation time of the lottery result of the first special symbol. Suggested in.

In the present embodiment, the second start is performed from the start of the special lottery to the suggestion of the lottery result of the second special symbol drawn by the acceptance of the game ball B into the second start port 2005 (special variation time). When the game ball B is accepted in the mouth 2005, the suggestion of the lottery result of the second special symbol cannot be started. Therefore, the second special until the suggestion of the lottery result of the second special symbol drawn earlier is completed. The start of suggestion of the lottery result of the symbol is suspended. The number of reserved lottery results of the second special symbol to be held is limited to four for each of the second starting port 2005, and for more than that, the game ball B is accepted at the second starting port 2005. However, the lottery result of the second special symbol is not reserved and is discarded. As a result, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by accumulating the hold.

The special variation time of the lottery result of the second special symbol drawn by accepting the game ball B to the second starting port 2005 depends on the acceptance of the game ball B to the first lower starting port 2003 and the first upper starting port 2004. It is set longer than the special fluctuation time of the lottery result of the first special symbol drawn. As a result, the lottery result of the second special symbol takes longer to consume the reserved number, so that the game ball B per unit time for the first lower start port 2003, the first upper start port 2004, and the second start port 2005. Even if the number of acceptances is the same, the number of lottery results of the second special symbol executed by the second starting port 2005 is smaller. Therefore, under normal conditions, even if the game ball B is driven to the right side of the center accessory 2500, only the second starting port 2005 may be accepted, and the lottery result of the second special symbol is rarely executed. , The player can be made to positively perform a driving operation such that the game ball B circulates on the left side of the center accessory 2500.

As described above, the lottery result of the first special symbol or the lottery of the second special symbol drawn by accepting the game ball B at the first lower start port 2003, the first upper start port 2004, or the second start port 2005. As a result, the first big winning opening 2006 and the second big winning opening 2007 open and close in a predetermined opening / closing pattern, and the game ball B can be accepted.

The game ball B that has flowed down to the central port 2605 or the right port 2606 of the attacker unit 2600 and was not accepted by the second starting port 2005 is placed on the second large winning opening door body 2651 that closes the second large winning opening 2007. It flows down and is guided to the left by the second prize-winning door body 2651 and discharged to the area downstream of the attacker right guidance passage 2625.

Then, when the game ball B flows down at the timing when the second big winning opening 2007 can be accepted according to the lottery result of the first special symbol and the lottery result of the second special symbol, the game ball B is released. It will be accepted in the second prize opening 2007. When the game ball B is received in the second large winning opening 2007, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) of the game balls B from the payout device 580 are released by the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. It is paid out to 201.

Further, the game ball B received in the second major winning opening 2007 is distributed to either the V winning opening 2008 or the losing opening 2009 by the V distribution unit 2660 provided downstream. Then, when the game ball B is distributed to the V winning opening 2008, a "big hit" game in which the first big winning opening 2006 opens and closes in a predetermined opening / closing pattern is executed.

The game ball B that has flowed down to the attacker unit 2600 and circulated through the attacker right guidance passage 2625, and the game ball B that has not been accepted by either the second start port 2005 or the second grand prize opening 2007 have a high probability of being the first. It flows down onto the first big prize opening door body 2641 which is closing the big winning opening 2006. A general winning opening 2001 of the attacker unit 2600 is provided on the way, and there is a possibility that the general winning opening 2001 will be accepted. In addition, a sub-out opening 2021 (right sub-out opening 2021b) is provided on the right side of the first large winning opening 2006, and the first large winning opening 2006 (first large winning opening 2006) is not accepted by the general winning opening 2001. The game ball B that did not flow down onto the door body 2641) is accepted. Further, the game ball B that has flowed down onto the first prize-winning door body 2641 is discharged from the left end side of the first prize-winning door body 2641 and is accepted into the out opening 2020 (right out opening 2020b).

Then, when the game ball B flows down at the timing when the first large winning opening 2006 can be accepted according to the lottery result of the first special symbol and the lottery result of the second special symbol, the game ball B is released. It will be accepted in the first prize opening 2006. When the game ball B is received in the second large winning opening 2007, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) of the game balls B from the payout device 580 are released by the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. It is paid out to 201.

If the lottery result of the first special symbol or the lottery result of the second special symbol is a "big hit", or if the game ball B is accepted in the V winning opening 2008, the first big winning opening 2006 will be used for the game. A predetermined time (for example, 20 to 40 seconds) has elapsed after the ball B is in an open state where it can be accepted, or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls B are accepted into the first prize opening 2006. When any of the conditions of, is satisfied, the opening / closing pattern (one opening / closing pattern is referred to as one round) that makes the game ball B unacceptable is repeated a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds). For example, "2R jackpot" is repeated 2 rounds, "5R jackpot" is 5 rounds, and "15R jackpot" is 15 rounds, respectively, to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player.

In "Big hit", after the big hit game is over, the probability that the first special symbol such as "Big hit" or the second special symbol will be drawn is changed ("probability change hit"), or the lottery result of the first special symbol And there is a "hit" that changes the display time of the production image that suggests the lottery result of the second special symbol ("short time hit").

When the lottery result of the first special symbol or the lottery result of the second special symbol (for example, the lottery result of the second special symbol) is "second big hit", the first big prize opening 2006 or the second big winning opening 2007 After the game ball B can be accepted in a predetermined pattern, ST (special time) is generated as an advantageous game state. This ST is to maintain a probabilistic change or a time saving state during a predetermined specific number of fluctuations.

[10. Characteristic effects of this embodiment]
According to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, since the game board 5 is provided with the effect display device 1600 capable of displaying the effect image behind the game panel 1100, that is, behind the game area 5a where the game is played. Since the pachinko machine 1 has an appearance similar to that of the conventional pachinko machine provided with the effect display device 1600, it is possible to make it difficult for a player familiar with the conventional pachinko machine to hesitate. This pachinko machine 1 can be easily selected as the pachinko machine to be played. Further, behind the game panel 1100, the back front left effect unit 3300 of the back unit 3000 is provided at a position on the left side away from the center of the effect display device 1600, so that the back front left effect unit 3300 is the effect display device 1600. It is possible to make it difficult for the effect image displayed on the display screen of the player to be disturbed, and the player can fully enjoy the effect image. Since the back front left decorative body 3301 is provided on the front surface of the back front left effect unit 3300, the front side of the effect display device 1600 and the inside of the game area 5a can be decorated by the back front left decorative body 3301. , The appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved. Further, the back front left effect unit 3300 is provided with a back front left back decorative sheet 3308 facing rearward on the rear surface, but from the front player side, the back front left effect unit 3300 (back front left decorative body). The back front left back decorative sheet 3308 cannot be seen through 3301). On the other hand, since the effect display device 1600 is provided behind the back front left effect unit 3300, the back front left back decoration provided on the rear surface of the back front left effect unit 3300 by the display screen of the effect display device 1600. The decoration of the sheet 3308 can be reflected forward. That is, the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 of the back front left effect unit 3300 can be reflected on the display screen of the effect display device 1600. However, in the state where the effect image is displayed on the effect display device 1600 (normal state), the display screen is bright, so that the brightness cancels the reflection of the pattern on the back front left back decorative sheet 3308. Therefore, the pattern of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 reflected on the display screen is rarely seen.

In this state, if the display screen of the effect display device 1600 is intentionally darkened (for example, blacked out), the reflection of the pattern on the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 becomes relatively bright with respect to the display screen. , The design of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 can be seen on the display screen. That is, when the display screen is darkened in the effect display device 1600, the pattern of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 provided on the rear surface of the back front left effect unit 3300 is reflected on the display screen, so that the effect displayed on the display screen.

At this time, since the back front left effect unit 3300 is provided at a position away from the center of the effect display device 1600 to the left, the back surface reflected on the display screen when the display screen of the effect display device 1600 is darkened. The front left back decorative sheet 3308 can be easily seen by the player. For this reason, during the execution of the effect using the effect image by the effect display device 1600, the display screen is intentionally darkened or the display screen is darkened to cause the back front left of the back surface of the effect unit 3300. Since the pattern (decoration) of the back decoration sheet 3308 can be shown to the player on the display screen, even if the appearance is similar to that of a conventional pachinko machine, the back front left back decoration sheet 3308 is displayed on the display screen. It is possible to show the player a production that has never been seen in a pachinko machine so far, which reflects the pattern of the game, and it can strongly attract the player's attention and give a strong impact, and at the same time, something good. It is possible to make people think that there is something to do, raise expectations for the game, and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, since the design of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 of the back front left production unit 3300 is different from the design of the back front left decorative body 3301, the display screen of the production display device 1600 is darkened. When the pattern of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 that is reflected is made visible to the player, the display screen is dark to the player, and the decoration is clearly different from the back front left decorative sheet 3301 (back front left back decorative sheet 3308). Can be recognized as being reflected, and can give a strong impact to the player. More specifically, in a normal state in which the effect image is displayed on the display screen of the effect display device 1600, the back front left decorative body 3301 provided on the front surface of the back front left effect unit 3300 has a predetermined expression. Only the character can be seen, and the character having a different facial expression as the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 is not reflected on the display screen. Then, when the display screen is darkened by blackout or the like, the character of the back front left back decoration sheet 3308 having a different facial expression from the back front left decorative body 3301 appears on the display screen so as to be adjacent to the back front left effect unit 3300. Since it appears to be reflected, it is possible to present the player with an effect in which the face behind (separately) the character can be seen, and it is possible to entertain the player with the gap in the facial expression of the character. If this effect is executed before, for example, a player such as a jackpot game has an advantageous advantageous gaming state, the effect strongly makes the player think that the advantageous gaming state does not occur. It is possible to surprise the player and enhance the interest by becoming an advantageous gaming state (“big hit”) after that.

Further, since the back front left effect unit 3300 is provided behind the game panel 1100, light is displayed on the display screen (front) of the effect display device 1600 from between the back front left effect unit 3300 and the effect display device 1600.

The pattern of the above can be easily reflected, and the reflected pattern (reflection pattern 3310) of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 can be easily seen from the player side, so that the above-mentioned action and effect can be surely achieved. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 capable of

Further, as described above, when the display screen of the effect display device 1600 is darkened, the reflective pattern 3310 of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 of the back front left effect unit 3300 reflected on the display screen can be seen faintly. By shortening the time for darkening the display screen, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice that the pattern of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 is reflected on the display screen. In other words, depending on the player, the reflection pattern 3310 of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 reflected on the display screen can be noticed. As a result, the player can make the player grin or be surprised by noticing that the pattern of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 is reflected on the display screen, which makes the player feel good. Can entertain the player.

Further, as described above, when the display screen of the effect display device 1600 is darkened, the pattern of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 provided on the rear surface of the back front left effect unit 3300 is reflected on the display screen, thereby pachinko. Since the reflection pattern 3310 (decoration) of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 can be seen from the front of the machine 1, the positional relationship between the effect display device 1600 and the back front left effect unit 3300 (back front left back decorative sheet 3308). Depending on the situation, it may be difficult for the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1 to see the reflected back front left back decorative sheet 3308, and the player sitting in front of the adjacent pachinko machine or the pachinko machine may be difficult to see. It is possible for the player in the vicinity of 1 to easily see the reflected pattern of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308. As a result, the pachinko machine 1 can be appealed to other players, the pachinko machine 1 having high appeal to the players can be provided, and the pachinko machine 1 is selected as the pachinko machine to be played. It is possible to make it easier to play, and it is possible to entertain the game with the pachinko machine 1 and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, since the back front left effect unit 3300 is provided at a position away from the center of the effect display device 1600 to the left, it is reflected on the display screen only by the right eye of the left and right eyes of the player sitting in front. It is possible to hide the pattern of the crowded back front left back decorative sheet 3308. As a result, when the display screen of the effect display device 1600 is darkened, the pattern of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 reflected on the display screen can be seen only by the right eye, so the reflected pattern of the back front left back decorative sheet 3308 is visible. Can be shown in an uncertain state, and a phantom-looking effect can be presented to the player, and the eerie feeling of the effect can be amplified to entertain the player and suppress the decline in interest. Can be made to.

Further, since the back front left effect unit 3300 is provided near the front end of the back box 3000 and the effect display device 1600 is provided behind the back box 3000, the rear surface of the back front left effect unit 3300 (back front left back decorative sheet). Since the distance between the 3308) and the display screen of the effect display device 1600 in the front-rear direction can be made as long as possible, the back front left back decorative sheet reflected on the display screen from the front of the pachinko machine 1. The pattern of 3308 can be made easy to see. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently enjoy the effect of the above-mentioned effects on the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the player's interest in the game. it can.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the center distribution unit 2520 in the center accessory 2500 of the game board 5, the peripheral wall portion higher than the radius of the game ball B on the outer peripheral edge through the upper warp passage 2513. The game ball B supplied near the outer periphery of the rolling surface portion 2531 of the crune 2530 provided with the 2533 is on the central surface portion 2531a of the rolling surface portion 2531 while being suppressed from contacting the peripheral wall portion 2533 due to the inclination of the peripheral surface portion 2531b. Will roll and enter the passage 2532. At this time, the shape of the passage port 2532 provided in the rolling surface portion 2531 is directed so that the longest opposed line connecting the two portions facing each other through the center extends in the front-rear direction. Since it has a circular shape (square in this case), it prevents the game ball B from turning around at the edge of the passage port 2532, and prevents the game ball B from being kicked by the passage port 2532. This allows the game ball B to quickly enter the passage port 2532. Therefore, abnormal vibration, impact, etc. are caused by hitting or shaking the pachinko machine 1 so that the game ball B is distributed to the first upper start port 2004 by the center distribution piece 2523, which is seen to move forward and backward. Even if an attempt is made to control the timing at which the game ball B falls from the crune 2530 through the passage port 2532, the game ball B will enter the passage port 2532 while the timing is being measured. , The achievement of cheating can be prevented, and the burden on the game hall side due to cheating can be reduced.

Further, since the passing port 2532 has a non-circular shape, it is possible to prevent (or prevent) the game ball B from being kicked by the passing port 2532 and entering another passing port 2532. The approach probability (acceptance probability) of the game ball B with respect to 2532 can be stabilized, and the pachinko machine 1 having the same performance as the acceptance probability to the passage port 2532 can be reliably provided.

Specifically, in the Kroon 2530, the rolling surface portion 2531 has a dish shape with a low center, and one passage port 2532 is provided at the center of the rolling surface portion 2531. In this crune 2530, the game ball B supplied near the outer circumference of the rolling surface portion 2531 is suppressed from contacting the peripheral wall portion 2533 by the peripheral surface portion 2531b having a steeper angle than the central surface portion 2531a, and the outer circumference of the rolling surface portion 2531 is suppressed. From the vicinity, it rolls in a circular shape while gradually reducing its turning radius, and enters the central passage port 2532. At this time, when the game ball B starts turning, the peripheral surface portion 2531b rolls so as not to come into contact with the peripheral wall portion 2533, so that abnormal vibrations such as hitting or shaking the pachinko machine 1 pass through the peripheral wall portion 2533. It is possible to avoid acting on the game ball B, and prevent fraudulent acts in which the rolling direction of the game ball B is directed toward the passage port 2532 due to abnormal vibration and the game ball B is illegally invaded into the passage port 2532. can do. Further, while the game ball B rolls in a circular shape, the passage port 2532 has a non-circular square shape. Therefore, when the turning radius of the game ball B gradually decreases, the passage port 2532 eventually becomes It comes into contact with any of the four corners outside the inscribed circle, and the game ball B quickly enters (falls) toward the passage port 2532, and the game ball B turns around at the edge of the passage port 2532. There is nothing to do. Therefore, the game is played from the Kroon 2530 so that the game ball B is distributed to the first upper start port 2004 by the center distribution piece 2523, which is seen to move forward and backward by hitting or shaking the pachinko machine 1. Even if you try to control the timing at which the ball B falls, the game ball B will enter the passage port 2532 while the timing is being measured, so that the achievement of cheating can be prevented, and the game due to cheating. The burden on the hall side can be reduced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 151 (b), a plurality of passages including a specific passage port 2532 in which the rolling surface portion 2531 has a low center and a predetermined privilege is given near the center of the rolling surface portion 2531. When the mouth 2532 is provided, the game ball B supplied near the outer periphery of the rolling surface portion 2531 gradually changes its turning radius from the vicinity of the outer periphery of the rolling surface portion 2531 while the contact with the peripheral wall portion 2533 is suppressed by the peripheral surface portion 2531b. It rolls in a circular shape while making it smaller, and enters any one of a plurality of passage ports 2532 provided near the center, and when the game ball B enters the specific passage port 2532, a predetermined privilege is given. It will be. At this time, when the game ball B starts turning, the peripheral surface portion 2531b rolls so as not to come into contact with the peripheral wall portion 2533, so that abnormal vibrations such as hitting or shaking the pachinko machine 1 pass through the peripheral wall portion 2533. It is possible to avoid acting on the game ball B, and prevent fraudulent acts in which the rolling direction of the game ball B is directed toward the passage port 2532 due to abnormal vibration and the game ball B is illegally invaded into the passage port 2532. can do. Further, even if a plurality of passage ports 2532 are arranged on the same circumference, since each passage port 2532 has a non-circular shape, the turning radius of the game ball B rotating in a circular shape is gradually reduced. Then, eventually, it comes into contact with any of the parts of the respective passage ports 2532 located outside the circumscribed circles in contact with the inscribed circles of the plurality of passage ports 2532, and the game ball B quickly contacts the passage. It will enter (fall) toward the mouth 2532, and the game ball B will turn around at the edge of the passage 2532, or the game ball B will be kicked by the passage 2532 and enter another passage 2532. There is nothing to relax. Therefore, even if the pachinko machine 1 is hit or shaken to enter the desired passage port 2532 (specific passage port 2532), the game ball B is placed in another passage port 2532 before approaching the desired passage port 2532. If they come into contact with each other, they will enter the passageway 2532, so that the achievement of cheating can be prevented. Further, when the game ball B comes into contact with the passing port 2532, it enters the passing port 2532 and the game ball B is not kicked by the passing port 2532. Therefore, the approach probability (acceptance probability) of the game ball B with respect to the passing port 2532. It is possible to reliably provide the pachinko machine 1 having the same performance as the acceptance probability to the passage port 2532. Further, as described above, the game ball B is not kicked at the specific passage port 2532, and the game ball B in contact with the specific passage port 2532 can be made to enter the specific passage port 2532, which is a pity for the player. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable, entertain the player, and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, as in the distribution unit 2800 shown in FIG. 151 (c), the rolling surface portion 2803 is formed into a flat plate shape that is inclined so as to be lowered in a predetermined direction, and a passage port is formed near the downstream end of the rolling surface portion 2803. When the winning opening 2801 and the losing opening 2802 are provided, the game ball B that rolls the rolling surface portion 2803 from the upstream side to the downstream side while suppressing the contact with the peripheral wall portion 2809 by the weir portion 2808. There is a possibility of entering the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802. Since the weir portion 2808 suppresses the contact of the game ball B with the peripheral wall portion 2809, the game ball B may cross the weir portion 2808 and come into contact with the peripheral wall portion 2809. 2808 is a low height that the game ball B can overcome. As a result, while the game ball B is in contact with the weir portion 2808, the pachinko machine 1 is hit or shaken to cause an abnormal vibration, so that the weir portion 2808 sets the rolling direction of the game ball B as a winning opening. Even if the direction is changed to 2801, the weir portion 2808 will move relative to the game ball B so as to slip under the game ball B, and it is possible that a force acts on the game ball B in the direction of the winning opening 2801. It is possible to prevent fraudulent acts in which the game ball B is illegally invaded into the winning opening 2801. Then, when the game ball B tries to enter the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802, the winning opening 2801 and the losing opening 2802 have a non-circular shape, so that the game ball B is placed at the edge of the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802. Upon contact, the game ball B will promptly enter (fall) toward the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802, and the game ball B will turn around at the edge of the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802, or the game will be played. Ball B will not be kicked by the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802 and enter another losing opening 2802 or the winning opening 2801. Therefore, even if the pachinko machine 1 is hit or shaken to allow the game ball B to enter the winning opening 2801 at a desired timing, when the game ball B comes into contact with the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802, the winning opening 2801 And because it enters the loss mouth 2802, it is possible to prevent the achievement of cheating. Further, when the game ball B comes into contact with the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802, it enters the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802, and the game ball B is not kicked by the winning opening 2801 or the losing opening 2802. It is possible to stabilize the approach probability (acceptance probability) of the game ball B with respect to 2801, and it is possible to reliably provide the pachinko machine 1 having the same performance as the acceptance probability to the winning opening 2801. Further, since the winning opening 2801 to which a predetermined privilege is given is provided, as described above, the game ball B is not kicked by the winning opening 2801, and the game ball B in contact with the winning opening 2801 is won as it is. Since it is possible to enter the mouth 2801, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling unfortunate, and it is possible to entertain the player and suppress a decline in interest.

Further, according to the present embodiment, as described above, it is possible to prevent the achievement of fraudulent activity, so that it is possible to recognize that it is useless to execute fraudulent activity, and the deterrent against fraudulent activity is high. The pachinko machine 1 can be provided. At this time, since the pachinko machine 1 is provided with the vibration sensor 1040 and can notify an alarm for abnormal vibration by the vibration alarm processing, the deterrent power against fraudulent activity can be further enhanced.

Since a plurality of wiring support portions (band holding portion 2635c, wiring locking portion 2635d, and band holding portion 2706) are provided, the plurality of wiring ECs can be put together by supporting the wiring ECs on the wiring support portions. It is possible to prevent the wiring EC from extending in the direction of each section from the door unit. At this time, since the wiring EC is tightened and supported by the wiring support portion by the binding band CT, the wiring EC is formed between the wiring support portion extending in the shape of a rod or a strip so as to have a free end and the case. It is possible to prevent the wiring EC from coming off or coming off from the wiring support portion, as compared with the case where the wiring EC is inserted and supported. Therefore, when assembling the pachinko machine 1, it is possible to improve workability by suppressing the wiring EC extending from the case of the door unit from interfering with the assembly or getting caught in other members. It is possible to reduce the complexity of the work and suppress the increase in cost. Further, by collecting a plurality of wiring ECs by the wiring support portion, it is possible to make it difficult for the wiring ECs extending from the case to be caught by other members, so that the wiring ECs are damaged or the wiring ECs are driven means or sensors. It is possible to prevent the wiring from being assembled in a state where the wiring is disconnected from the wiring EC, and it is possible to easily avoid the occurrence of a problem caused by the wiring EC.

Further, the wiring EC connected to the drive means (starting port solenoid 2632 and solenoid 2702) held in the case (unit case 2635 and unit case 2705) and the door unit (second starting port door body 2631, And the wiring EC connected to the sensor (second start port sensor 2601 and ball sensor 2711) that is provided near the door body 2701) of the opening / closing unit 2700 and detects the game ball B whose circulation has been changed by the door unit.

Since it is supported by a length longer than the shortest length, the door unit (second start port opening / closing unit 2630 and opening / closing unit 2700) can be removed from the predetermined members (attacker base plate 2610 and base plate 2710) by maintenance or the like. Since there is a margin in the length of the wiring EC from the sensor when removing it, it is possible to separate the door unit from the predetermined member to some extent, and maintenance etc. can be performed well, so this pachinko machine 1 is installed. It is possible to suppress an increase in the burden on the game hall side.

Further, since the door unit (second start port opening / closing unit 2630 and opening / closing unit 2700) is provided with a plurality of wiring support portions (band holding portion 2635c, wiring locking portion 2635d, and band holding portion 2706), design changes and changes can be made. When the direction in which the wiring EC is routed is changed due to a model change or the like, the wiring support portion provided at the optimum position through which the wiring EC passes can be selected to support the wiring EC. Therefore, it is possible to respond to design changes, model changes, and the like without remodeling the cases (unit case 2635 and unit case 2705), and it is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1.

Further, since the door unit (second starting port opening / closing unit 2630 and opening / closing unit 2700) is provided with a plurality of wiring support portions (band holding portion 2635c, wiring locking portion 2635d, and band holding portion 2706), the door unit is provided. After assembling, to the vacant wiring support part that does not support the wiring EC from the drive means (starting port solenoid 2632 and solenoid 2702) and the sensor (second starting port sensor 2601 and ball sensor 2711). , The wiring EC from other members can be supported and bundled, and the wiring EC can be easily routed in the pachinko machine 1.

Further, the wiring EC is tightened and supported by the binding band CT with respect to the door unit (second starting port opening / closing unit 2630 and opening / closing unit 2700) and the sensor (second starting port sensor 2601 and ball sensor 2711). When attempting to commit fraud, it is necessary to disconnect the cable tie CT, and traces of fraud are likely to remain. Therefore, it is possible to hesitate to execute fraud and provide a pachinko machine 1 having high deterrence against fraud. Can be done.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the attacker unit 2600 of the center accessory 2500, the solenoids (starting door solenoid 2632, second attacker solenoid 2652, V distribution solenoid) as driving means according to the progress of the game The game ball B passes by advancing and retreating the door bodies (second starting door body 2631, second large winning door body 2651, V winning door body 2661, and door body 2701) by 2662 and solenoid 2702). The door unit (second starting port) is a door unit (second starting port sensor 2601, second large winning port sensor 2602, V winning port sensor 2603, loss opening sensor 2604, and ball sensor 2711) that detects the game ball B. It is provided outside the case (unit case 2635, unit case 2655, unit case 2665, and unit case 2705) of the opening / closing unit 2630, the second prize opening opening / closing unit 2650, the V distribution unit 2660, and the opening / closing unit 2700. Therefore, since the sensor is not provided in the case, the unit having the door body (door unit) can be made relatively small as compared with the conventional technique, and the door unit can be made smaller. Therefore, since the door unit can be miniaturized, the degree of freedom in arranging the door unit can be increased. Therefore, by providing the door unit at a position different from that of the conventional pachinko machine 1, the pachinko machine looks like never before. It can be the machine 1, and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 having a high appeal to the player.

Further, at least a part of the sensors (second starting port sensor 2601, second large winning opening sensor 2602, V winning opening sensor 2603, loss opening sensor 2604, and ball sensor 2711) is a door unit (second starting opening opening / closing unit 2630). , The second prize opening opening / closing unit 2650, V distribution unit 2660, opening / closing unit 2700) is provided in front of the case (unit case 2635, unit case 2655, unit case 2665, and unit case 2705). Compared with the case where the sensor is provided in the case as in the technique of the above, the dimension in the front-rear direction for detecting the game ball B can be reduced, and it is possible to easily secure the space behind. .. Therefore, as described above, the door unit can be miniaturized, and the space at the rear can be easily secured. Therefore, the rear accessory or decoration can be made larger, or a new accessory or a new accessory can be rearward. By arranging or arranging the decorative body, the pachinko machine 1 can be made more conspicuous, the player's interest can be strongly attracted, and the player can be more entertained by the accessory behind. , It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

In addition, the door unit (second start opening opening / closing) is equipped with sensors that detect the game ball B (second starting opening sensor 2601, second large winning opening sensor 2602, V winning opening sensor 2603, loss opening sensor 2604, and ball sensor 2711). Because it is provided outside the case (unit case 2635, unit case 2655, unit case 2665, and unit case 2705) of the unit 2630, the second prize opening opening / closing unit 2650, the V distribution unit 2660, and the opening / closing unit 2700). The same door unit can be used regardless of the model used, and a sufficient mass production effect can be obtained by manufacturing only the same door unit, and by using the same door unit, it is due to an assembly error. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of defects, simplify the labor required for assembly, and reduce the cost required for the pachinko machine 1.

More specifically, for example, in a unit having a built-in sensor in a case according to the conventional technology, the sensor is built in by removing the sensor from the case according to the model used in order to increase the degree of freedom in arranging the unit. It is conceivable to use no unit. However, in this case, in order to obtain a mass production effect by diverting the unit to a plurality of models, both a unit in which the sensor is attached and a unit in which the sensor is removed are manufactured in the same unit. This makes it complicated to manufacture the unit, and it becomes difficult to obtain a sufficient mass production effect. Also, if there is a unit with the sensor removed in the same unit, there is a risk of accidentally assembling a unit without a sensor when assembling the pachinko machine, which may cause a malfunction. At the same time, it is necessary to check the unit at the time of assembly, which causes a problem that the cost increases due to the time and effort required.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as described above, the door unit (second start opening opening / closing unit 2630, second winning opening opening / closing unit 2650, V distribution unit 2660, and opening / closing unit 2700) has a sensor (the first). (2) Starting port sensor 2601, second large winning opening sensor 2602, V winning opening sensor 2603, loss opening sensor 2604, and ball sensor 2711) are not provided (not built in), so the positions of the sensors in multiple models Since the same door unit can be used regardless of the model used, it is sufficient to manufacture only the same door unit, and a sufficient mass production effect can be obtained. Further, since there is no same door unit having different functions, it is not necessary to check the door unit when assembling the pachinko machine 1, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a defect due to an assembly error and to assemble. The cost required for the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced by simplifying the time and effort required for the pachinko machine 1.

Since the case 2705) is attached after the attacker base plate 2610, the attacker base plate 2610 makes it possible to make the case difficult to see from the player side, and the case (driving means (starting port solenoid 2632, second attacker solenoid). It is possible to suppress the deterioration of the appearance due to 2652, the V distribution solenoid 2662, and the solenoid 2702)), and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 having a good appearance.

Further, the driving means (starting port solenoid 2632, second attacker solenoid 2652, V distribution solenoid 2662, and solenoid 2702) and door body (second starting port door body 2631, second large winning opening door body 2651, V winning opening). The cases (unit case 2635, unit case 2655, unit case 2665, and unit case 2705) holding the door body 2661 and the door body 2701) are separated into the first case portion and the second case portion (first case portion 2633). 2634, the first case 2653 and the second case 2654, the first case 2663 and the second case 2664, and the first case 2703 and the second case 2704). Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of parts of the door unit (second start opening opening / closing unit 2630, second winning opening opening / closing unit 2650, V distribution unit 2660, and opening / closing unit 2700), and the pachinko machine. It is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of 1.

Further, the case is divided into the first case part and the second case part (first case part 2633 and second case part 2634, first case part 2653 and second case part 2654, first case part 2663 and second case part 2664). , And the first case portion 2703 and the second case portion 2704), so that the drive means (starting port solenoid 2632, second attacker solenoid 2652, V distribution solenoid 2662, and solenoid 2702) and It is possible to hold the door body (second starting door body 2631, second large winning door body 2651, V winning door body 2661, and door body 2701) so as to be sandwiched between the first case and the second case. , The labor required for assembly can be simplified.

Further, at least a part of the sensors (second starting port sensor 2601, second large winning opening sensor 2602, V) provided in front of the case (unit case 2635, unit case 2655, unit case 2665, unit case 2705). Since the attacker front plate 2620 provided in front of the case (attacker base plate 2610, base plate 2710) is in contact with the winning opening sensor 2603, the loss opening sensor 2604, and the ball sensor 2711), it is in front of the attacker. The plate 2620 can regulate the movement of the sensor in a predetermined direction, and can enable the sensor to be positioned at a predetermined position.

Further, the outer surface of the case (unit case 2635, unit case 2665, and unit case 2705) is brought into contact with the sensors (second starting port sensor 2601, V winning port sensor 2603, loss opening sensor 2604, and ball sensor 2711). Therefore, the movement of the sensor in a predetermined direction can be restricted by the case, and the sensor can be positioned at a predetermined position.
