It is possible to arbitrarily change the display mode of the effect pattern 111, such as enlargement or reduction, change of the display position, deletion of the decorative portion 111b, and the like.

Approximately at the same time as the first and second special symbols start to vary, the performance symbols 111 start to fluctuate by vertical scrolling for each symbol row according to a predetermined variation pattern, and stop symbols on a predetermined effective line take a predetermined mode. As shown, the first and second special symbols are stopped at the same time as the fluctuation is stopped. In the production pattern 111, when all the stop patterns on the effective line are the same, the big hit production mode is used, and when the other patterns are the same, the small win production mode or the losing production mode is used. In the case of the hit mode and the losing mode, the first and second special symbols are the big hit performance mode, the small hit performance mode, and the losing performance mode.

In addition, the first and second special random number information acquired at the time of winning the first and second special symbol starting means 62 and 63 are reserved and stored with a predetermined upper limit reserved number, for example, four each as a limit. , When the second special pattern side reserve memory is 1 or more at the time when the fluctuation of the first and second special patterns becomes possible, one reserve memory of the second special pattern is digested and the second special pattern is obtained. When only the reserved memory on the side of the first special symbol is 1 or more, one reserved memory of the first special symbol is digested and the first special symbol is varied. As described above, in this embodiment, both the first special symbol and the second special symbol are not fluctuating, and when both the first special symbol side and the second special symbol side have reserved memory, is to preferentially change the second special symbol.

In the case of this embodiment, the player hits to the left while aiming at the first special symbol starting means 62 during the normal game state other than during the special game state described later, and during the special game state (during the time saving state), the normal symbol starts. Since the means 61 and the second special symbol starting means 63 are aimed at the right hand, the first special symbol mainly fluctuates during the normal game state, and the second special symbol mainly fluctuates during the special game state (during the time saving state). do. In the present embodiment, the right-handed informing means 60 can inform that the player is in the right-handed period (during special game state, big hit state, etc.) during which the player should hit right. The right-handed notification means 60 is composed of one LED 60a and is arranged on the right decorative frame 93 in the central display frame unit 53 (FIGS. 5 and 9). The inside is configured to turn off the light. It should be noted that the LED 60a constituting the right-handed informing means 60 is an example of an informing light emitting body for informing information by a light emission mode.

The numbers of the first and second special random number information retained and stored (first and second special retained numbers) are notified to the player by the liquid crystal display means 57 or the like. As shown in FIG. 5, the liquid crystal display means 57 can display the first and second reserved images X1 to X4 and Y1 to Y4 indicating the first and second special reserved numbers, and the pending image Z during fluctuation. there is That is, when the first and second special reserved numbers increase based on the detection of the game ball by the first and second special symbol starting means 62 and 63, the first and second reserved images X1-, Y1- is additionally displayed on the liquid crystal display means 57, and the first and second special symbol display means 71 and 72 start new fluctuations of the first and second special symbols. When the special pending number decreases, for example, the changing pending image Z is deleted, and the first and second pending images X1 ~, Y1 ~ are shifted one by one toward the front side of the queue (for example, the right side of the screen). At the same time, the first and second pending images X1 and Y1 pushed out are moved to a predetermined position, for example, and changed to a new pending image Z during fluctuation.

In addition, there are two types of probability (jackpot probability) of hitting a jackpot (jackpot probability) in the jackpot determination (random number lottery) performed based on the game ball detection by the first and second special symbol starting means 62 and 63, ie, a low probability and a high probability. , It is set to a high probability during the variable probability state of the special game state described later, and to a low probability otherwise.

In addition, when the big hit determination result is a loss, one or a plurality of types of losses are selected, and when the big hit determination result is a small win, one or a plurality of types of small wins are selected. However, when the big hit determination result is a big hit, one or a plurality of types of big wins (for example, two types of definite variable big wins and non-definite variable big wins) are selected. Here, the variable probability big win is a big win that generates a variable probability state as a special game state after the end of the big win state, and the non-variable probability big win is a big win that generates, for example, a time saving state as a special game state after the end of the big win state. These distributions are carried out based on the jackpot symbol random numbers and the like.

During the time saving state, the variation times of the first and second special symbol display means 71 and 72 for the first and second special symbols are switched to a shortened variation time shorter than the normal variation time, and the winning probability for the normal symbols is increased. Normal probability to high probability, fluctuation time from normal fluctuation time to shortened fluctuation time, opening and closing pattern of second special symbol starting means 63 in normal profit state normal opening and closing pattern (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time open) to special The opening/closing pattern (for example, opening 2 seconds×3 times) can be switched to. The time saving state starts when the big win state ends, and ends when the first and second special symbols fluctuate a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times) or when the next big win game occurs by then. Moreover, during the variable probability state, for example, in addition to switching similar to the time saving state, the probability of a big hit is switched from a low probability to a high probability. The variable probability state starts when the big hit state ends, and ends when the next big hit state occurs, for example.

The first big prize winning means 64 is an operating type winning means that can be changed between an open state in which the game ball can win the first big prize opening 64a and a closed state in which the game ball cannot win a prize by the operation of the opening/closing member 112. A game ball detection switch 113 for detecting a game ball that has entered the winning opening 64a is provided, and whether the stopped symbols after the fluctuation of the first and second special symbol display means 71 and 72 are in a jackpot mode or V winning to be described later. , the opening/closing member 112 is opened according to one or more types of jackpot opening patterns. When a game ball wins in the first big winning hole 64a, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls per winning are paid out as prize balls.

Although the above warning stickers S1 to S7 differ in shape, size, display content, and layout, they all share the same basic configuration, that is, the number of printing plates, the number of colors used, and the placement of glue. It's becoming In addition, if these caution-calling stickers are placed randomly, the effect of calling attention will be weakened. It is desirable to stick the warning sticker only on the areas where it is really necessary, such as not sticking it on other areas.

FIG. 11 shows, as an example, the basic configuration of the caution seal S1. As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the warning sticker S1 is a white body sheet made of a material such as PET, paper, etc., and is printed on the surface (upper surface) side with a yellow ( Y plate) and black (K plate) are used for printing, and a full-surface glue layer (paste plate) is provided on the back side by applying glue to the entire surface. The modes of each version (1st to 3rd versions) are as shown in FIGS. 11(a) to 11(c). In this way, the warning stickers S1 to S7 have 3 printing versions, 2 printing colors (excluding the white base color), and the entire surface is covered with an adhesive layer, and the entire surface is non-transparent. And it shall be non-translucent.

As described above, the attention-calling stickers S1 to S7 are less likely to be replaced even when the parts are reused. Since there is a possibility that they may be touched by hand, the adhesive layer on the entire surface is adopted by giving priority to the difficulty of peeling and the cost over ease of peeling. In that sense, it is desirable to use a glue with relatively strong adhesion. In addition, since the warning stickers S1 to S7 do not have a transparent portion, there is no need to use highly transparent glue, which can also reduce costs.

Also, since the attention-calling stickers S1 to S7 are only for the purpose of calling attention and not for the purpose of decoration, the number of colors and the number of editions should be reduced as much as possible to keep costs down, and black and yellow / The white contrast makes it easy for people to see. In addition, the number of colors and the types of colors (yellow, black, white) used in a plurality of (here, all) caution stickers S1 to S7 are made common, and common symbols (first caution symbol s1 and second caution symbol s2) is used, and the color combination (yellow, black, white) is not used in other types of patch sheets, so that it can be recognized at a glance that it is a caution-calling sticker. In addition, in the attention-calling stickers S1 to S7, not only the overall color combination (yellow, black, white), but also the fact that they are divided into the first display portion a1 and the second display portion a2, The color arrangement in the display portions a1 and a2 is also made common. Either one of the first and second caution symbols s1 and s2, for example, only the first caution symbol s1 may be displayed on the first display portion a1.

Next, the decorative stickers S11 to S16, which are decorative pasting sheets, will be described. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 9, the decorative stickers S11 to S16 are all arranged within the game area 23 on the game board 16. FIG.

The decorative seal S11 is adhered to a transparent and colorless pasting portion 131 formed on the upper front side of the decorative frame 93 in the central display frame unit 53, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 12(A) and 12(B), this decorative seal S11 is a colorless and transparent main body sheet made of a material such as PET, on the back (bottom) side of which is printed 4 silk stencils (CMYK colors). + Silk white (100%) printing + paste printing. In this way, the decorative sticker S11 has 6 printing versions and 5 printing colors.

The 1st to 4th editions are cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K), respectively, and these three primary colors plus black form full-color illustrations. Of course, the fourth plate (black) may be omitted when expressing black using only the three primary colors, but it is desirable to use an independent black plate because it is not possible to express complete black using only the three primary colors. .

The illustration (decoration) drawn on the decorative sticker S11 is, as shown in FIG. The second decoration part 162 made up of the characters "SUN" on both sides is formed, and the part corresponding to the sky is a non-decoration part 163 which is not decorated except for the second decoration part 162.例文帳に追加

In the fifth version, white (100%) whitening is performed from the back side of the decoration, and as shown in FIG. The area of the decorative portion 162 and the non-decorative portion 163 is designed not to be whitened. When this white 100% whitening is performed, the area (here, the area corresponding to the first decorative portion 161) becomes a state in which almost no light passes (a light shielding rate of 90% or more). In this way, although the region in which the 100% white is applied has a slight translucency, it can be regarded as substantially impervious to light. (that is, a light-shielding plate). In the region where the whitening is not performed, the non-decorative portion 163 remains colorless and transparent, and the second decorative portion 162 is translucent and colored transparent or colored opaque (colored opaque here) depending on the type and shade of color. opaque). As a result, the light from the light emitting means such as the LED 81a disposed on the rear side of the transparent main body plate 50 passes through the transparent adhered portion 131 and the like, and then passes through the second decorative portion 162 and the non-decorative portion 163. .

The sixth version is a paste plate, and the paste layer of this decorative seal S11 has, as shown in FIG. It is a partial glue layer. The adhesive portion 164 includes an outer peripheral region 164a having a substantially constant width along the outer periphery of the transparent sheet (the region outside the dashed-dotted line in FIG. 2) is formed in the region where the decorative region 164b corresponding to the decorative portion 162) is joined. In addition, in this decorative seal S11, the decorative region 164b is also a non-transparent portion.

Thus, in the decorative seal S11, the outer peripheral region 164a along the outer periphery and the decorative region 164b (also non-transparent portion) corresponding to the decorated decorative portions 161 and 162 are used as the glue portion 164, and the other portions are 165 is used as the adhesive-free portion 165. Therefore, even if the adhesive strength of the adhesive is the same, it is possible to suppress the overall sticking strength compared to the case where the entire adhesive layer is used. Compared to the case where the adhesive part is provided, the sense of stability of attachment can be improved, and the attachment strength of the attachment sheet is maintained at a certain level or higher, and workability when reattaching when the central display frame unit 53 is reused. can be increased. In addition, since the glue does not adhere to the non-decorative portion and the transparent portion except for the outer peripheral region 164a, the translucency and transparency of the non-decorative portion and the transparent portion can be maintained at high levels.

The decorative seal S12 is adhered to a transparent and colorless pasting portion 132 formed on the right front side of the decorative frame 93 in the central display frame unit 53, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the decorative seal S12 is a colorless and transparent main body sheet made of a material such as PET, and a silk 4-plate (CMYK color) is printed on the back (bottom) side of the main body sheet. + Silk white (100%) plate + Black press plate + Silk white (50%) plate + Paste printing is applied, and furthermore, the 5th plate (100% silk white) and the 6th plate (black press) A hologram is placed between them. In this way, the decorative seal S12 has 8 printing plates (not including holograms) and 6 printing colors (4 silk screens are black and black is the same color, 100% white and 50% white). different colors).

The 1st to 4th editions are cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K), respectively, and these three primary colors plus black form full-color illustrations. The illustration (decoration) drawn on the decorative sticker S12 is, as shown in FIG. 172.

In addition, non-decorated portions 173 to 175 are provided in the area of the first decorative portion 171. As shown in FIG. The non-decorative portion (light emitting portion) 173 includes LEDs (light emitters for notification) 69a and 69b that constitute the normal symbol display means 69, and LEDs (light emitters for notification) 70a to 70d that constitute the normal reserved number display means 70. , and is composed of a predetermined number (six) of circular regions arranged close to each other. The non-decorative portion (light-emitting portion) 174 corresponds to the 7-segment LED (notifying light emitter) that constitutes the second special symbol display means 72, and is composed of one rectangular area. The non-decorative portion (light-emitting portion) 175 corresponds to the LED (light-emitting body for notification) 60a that constitutes the right-handed informing means 60, and is composed of one triangular area.

The 5th and 7th editions are whitened from the back side of the decoration, and the 5th edition uses 100% white and the 7th edition uses 50% white. The area of the fifth plate (100% white printing) matches the area of the first decorative portion 171 excluding the non-decorative portions 173 to 175 as shown in FIG. 100% whitening is not performed in the area of the second decorative portion 172 . It is assumed that when this white (100%) whitening is performed, the area exhibits non-transmitting properties through which light hardly passes. The area of the seventh plate (50% white printing) coincides with the areas of the non-decorative portions (light-emitting portions) 173 to 175 as shown in FIG. 13(d). When this white (50%) whitening is performed, the area (non-decorative portions 173 to 175) has translucency but becomes opaque (translucent portion, non-transparent portion). Thus, the fifth plate (100% white printing) and the seventh plate (50% white printing) have the same color (white) and different light transmittances.

The sixth plate is a black holding plate (light shielding plate) for fixing the hologram and light shielding, and as shown in FIG. Although the hologram layer is formed by any method such as transfer, the regions corresponding to the non-decorative portions 173 to 175 are peeled off. In this way, substantially the entire surface of the decorative seal S12 is a non-light-transmitting portion, and the non-decorative portions 173 to 175, which are slightly light-transmitting portions, are also provided with light emitters for notification on their rear sides. Therefore, almost no light from the light emitting means such as the LED 83a arranged on the rear side of the transparent body plate 50 is transmitted.

The eighth version is a paste plate, and the paste layer of the decorative seal S12 has, as shown in FIG. It is a partial glue layer. The glueless portion 177 includes a first glueless portion 177a corresponding to the non-decorative portion 173, a second glueless portion 177b corresponding to the non-decorative portion 174, and a third glueless portion 177c corresponding to the non-decorative portion 175. The entire region other than the first to third non-adhesive portions 177a to 177c is the adhesive portion 176. As shown in FIG.

The first to third glueless portions 177a to 177c are slightly wider than the non-decorative portions 173 to 175, respectively. are connected to each other to form one region (light-emitting region), and the third adhesive-free portion 177 c forms one circular region including the triangular region of the non-decorative portion 175 . It should be noted that the first adhesive-free portion 177 a may be a plurality (six) of independent regions individually corresponding to the non-decorative portion 173 .

In this way, in the decorative seal S12, the LEDs 69a and 69b constituting the normal symbol display means 69, the LEDs 70a to 70d constituting the normal reserved number display means 70, the 7-segment LED constituting the second special symbol display means 72, and the right-handed notification Areas corresponding to the LEDs 60a constituting the means 60 are defined as non-decorated parts 173 to 175, and the areas of the non-decorated parts 173 to 175 are whitened (50%), so that the LEDs on the rear side are hidden. However, the light from the LED can be transmitted, and it is possible to achieve both the appearance and the notification function by light emission. Further, since the regions corresponding to the non-decorative portions 173 to 175 are the glueless portions 177a to 177c, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of translucency due to the glue. In addition, since the hologram layer is arranged between the fifth and sixth editions, the area where 100% whitening (fifth edition) is not applied, that is, the area of the second decorative portion 172, which is the background portion. reflects light intricately and looks three-dimensional, thereby making the first decorative portion 171 stand out.

It should be noted that the non-decorative portion 174 corresponding to the 7-segment LED may be colorless and transparent without whitening (50%). In addition, non-adhesive areas may be provided in areas other than the non-decorative areas 173 to 175. For example, an outer peripheral area +α along the outer circumference (for example, a 100% white area) may be used as the adhesive area.

The decorative seal S13 is adhered to a transparent and colorless adhered portion 133 formed on the left front side of the decorative frame 93 in the central display frame unit 53 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, the decorative seal S13 is a colorless and transparent main body sheet made of a material such as PET, and a silk 4-plate (CMYK color) is printed on the back (bottom) side of the main body sheet. + silk white (100%) stencil + silk white (50%) stencil + paste printing. In this way, the decorative sticker S13 has 7 printed versions and 6 printed colors (when 100% white and 50% white are different colors).

The 1st to 4th editions are cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K), respectively, and these three primary colors plus black form full-color illustrations. The illustration (decoration) drawn on the decorative sticker S13 includes, as shown in FIG. 182. A non-decorative portion 183 is provided in the area of the first decorative portion 181 without decoration. The non-decorative portion (light-emitting portion) 183 corresponds to the 7-segment LED (notifying light emitter) that constitutes the first special symbol display means 71, and is composed of one rectangular area.

The 5th and 6th editions are whitened from the back side of the decoration, the 5th edition being 100% white and the 6th being 50% white. The area of the fifth plate (100% white printing) coincides with the area of the first decorative portion 181 excluding the non-decorative portion 183 as shown in FIG. 100% whitening is not performed for the 182 area. It is assumed that when this white (100%) whitening is performed, the area exhibits non-transmitting properties through which light hardly passes. The region of the sixth plate (50% white printing) coincides with the region of the non-decorative portion 183 (light emitting portion) as shown in FIG. 14(c). When this white (50%) whitening is performed, the area (non-decorative portion 183) has a certain degree of translucency but becomes opaque (translucent portion, non-transparent portion).

In addition, the second decorative portion 182, which is neither 100% white nor 50% white, has translucency (translucent portion), and is colored and transparent (transparent portion) depending on the type and shade of color. Or it becomes colored and opaque (non-transparent portion). As a result, the light from the light emitting means such as the LED 83a disposed on the rear side of the transparent main body plate 50 passes through the transparent adhered portion 133 and the like, and then passes through the second decoration portion 182 . The light transmittance of the non-decorative portion (specific light-transmitting portion) 183 corresponding to the 7-segment LED (light-emitting portion) is lower than the light transmittance of the second decorative portion (non-specific light-transmitting portion) 182. .

The seventh version is a paste plate, and the paste layer of the decorative seal S13 has, as shown in FIG. It is a partial glue layer. The glue portion 184 consists of an outer peripheral region 184a (the outer region of the dashed line in FIG. 14(d)) having a substantially constant width along the outer periphery of the transparent sheet, and a non-light-transmitting region that is whitened (100%). 184b is formed in the region that connects with 184b. The non-decorative portion 183 corresponding to the 7-segment LED is excluded from the adhesive portion 184 (peripheral region 184a) even if at least part of it is within a region of substantially constant width along the outer periphery of the transparent sheet. be.

In this way, in the decorative seal S13, the outer peripheral region 184a along the outer periphery and the non-light-transmitting region 184b with white printing (100%) are used as the adhesive portion 184, and the other portions are used as the non-adhesive portion 185. Since the adhesive layer is used, even if the adhesive strength of the adhesive is the same, the overall adhesive strength can be suppressed compared to the case where the entire adhesive layer is used. It is possible to improve the stability of sticking by means of this, and to maintain the sticking strength of the sticking sheet at a certain level or more, and improve the workability at the time of re-sticking when reusing the central display frame unit 53.例文帳に追加In addition, since glue does not adhere to the second decorative portion 182, which is a translucent region, except for the outer peripheral region 184a, high translucency of the translucent portion can be maintained. In addition, since the area corresponding to the 7-segment LED constituting the first special symbol display means 71 is the non-decorative portion 183, and the area of the non-decorative portion 183 is whitened (50%), the rear side The light from the LED can be transmitted while the LED is hidden, and it is possible to achieve both the appearance and the notification function by light emission.

Moreover, since the region corresponding to the non-decorative portion 183 is the glueless portion 185, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of translucency due to the glue. It should be noted that the non-decorative portion 183 corresponding to the 7-segment LED may be colorless and transparent without whitening (50%) (that is, omitting the sixth version).

The decorative seal S14 is attached to a colorless and transparent attached portion 134 formed on the front side of the winning gutter 105 in the starting winning unit 54 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the decorative seal S14 is a colorless and transparent body sheet made of a material such as PET, and a silk magenta (M) plate + Silk black (K) stencil + silk white (100%) stencil + paste stencil is used for printing. In this way, the decorative sticker S14 has four printed versions and three printed colors.

The first version is magenta (M), and as shown in FIG. 15(a), the letters "summer" are formed in the approximate center of the transparent sheet. The second version is black (K) and forms a border for the letters "summer" as shown in FIG. 15(b). The 3rd plate is white (100%) printed from the back side of the decoration, and as shown in FIG. match the region. When this white (100%) whitening is performed, the area (here, the character area of "summer") exhibits non-translucency, through which light hardly passes. The peripheral area where the whitening is not performed remains colorless and transparent.

The fourth version is a paste plate, and the paste layer of the decorative seal S14 is a full-surface paste layer having no paste portion as shown in FIG. 15(d). This decorative seal S14 has a small area, and when adopting a partial glue layer (peripheral region + α (non-light-transmitting part, decorative part, non-transparent part)) similar to the decorative seals S11 to S13 having a large area, glue Although the area of the part is not much different from the case of the full glue layer, the cost is high, so the full glue layer is adopted from the viewpoint of cost effectiveness. Of course, a partial glue layer may be employed in which the outer peripheral region +α (decorative portion, non-light-transmitting portion, non-transparent portion) is the glue portion, or only the outer peripheral region is the glue portion. Also, the LED may be arranged on the rear side of the adhered portion 134 to which the decorative seal S14 is adhered.

The decorative sticker S15 is attached to a colorless and transparent attached portion 135 formed on the front side of the big winning unit 55 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the decorative seal S15 is a colorless and transparent main body sheet made of a material such as PET, and a silk 4-plate (CMYK color) is printed on the back (bottom) side of the main body sheet. + Silk white (100%) printing + paste printing. In this manner, the decorative sticker S15 has six printed versions and five printed colors.

The illustration (decoration) drawn on the decorative seal S15 is, as shown in FIG. and a lower second decorative portion 192, and the front region of the second inclined rolling path 121 is a first non-decorated portion 193 that is not decorated. The first decorative portion 191 is composed of a first main decorative portion 191a composed of a child, a butterfly, and a tree, and a first background decorative portion 191b which is a background portion thereof. In the second decorative portion 192, there are a second non-decorated portion 194 corresponding to the distribution guide passage 119a and the front side of the distribution means 119 (see FIG. 5), and a character decoration portion 192a forming characters of "SUMMER VACATION". is provided.

In the fifth version, white (100%) whitening is performed from the back side of the decoration, and as shown in FIG. It matches the area excluding the second non-decorative portion 194 and the character decoration portion 192a. Also, the area corresponding to the character decoration portion 192a is a semi-whitening area in which dots of arbitrary shapes (in this case, circles) with different sizes are distributed in a predetermined pattern, thereby giving shading to the whitening density. . It is assumed that when this white (100%) whitening is performed, the area exhibits non-transmitting properties through which light hardly passes.

In the region where the whitening is not performed, the first non-decorative portion 193 and the second non-decorative portion 194 remain colorless and transparent, and the first background decorative portion 191b is translucent and can be changed according to the type and shade of color. It becomes colored transparent or colored opaque. In the character decoration portion 192a, which is a semi-white-out region, the white-out dot portions are non-transparent, and the gaps are translucent and colored transparent or colored opaque depending on the type and shade of color. In this way, it is possible to substantially change the light transmittance of the character decoration portion 192a while using whitening with a constant light transmittance.

Thus, in the decorative seal S15, the first non-decorative portion 193 and the second non-decorative portion 194 corresponding to the front side of the second inclined rolling path 121, the distribution guide passage 119a, and the distribution means 119 (all of which are game ball passage portions) is a transparent portion, and the passage of game balls can be visually recognized from the front side through this transparent portion. Also, the light from the light emitting means such as the LED 125a arranged on the rear side of the big winning unit 55 passes through the transparent pasted portion 135 and the like, and then passes through the first background decorative portion 191b, the first non-decorated portion 193, and the like. It penetrates the second non-decorative portion 194 and the like.

The sixth version is a paste plate, and the paste layer of this decorative seal S15 has a paste portion 195 with paste and a paste-free portion 196 without paste as shown in FIG. 16(c). It becomes a glue layer. The glue portion 195 includes an outer peripheral region 195a (region outside the dashed line in FIG. 16(c)) having a substantially constant width along the outer periphery of the transparent sheet, and a whitened (100%) region (half-whitened). It is formed in a region where a non-light-transmitting region 195b (also a non-transparent portion) corresponding to the character decoration portion 192a (excluding the character decoration portion 192a) is combined. It should be noted that in the decorative seal S15, the non-light-transmitting region 195b is also part of the decorative region.

As described above, in the decorative seal S15, the outer peripheral region 195a along the outer periphery and the non-light-transmitting region 195b corresponding to a part of the whitened (100%) region are used as the glue portion 195, and the other portions are Since a partial glue layer is used as the glue-free part 196, even if the adhesive strength of the glue is the same, the overall sticking strength can be suppressed compared to the case where a full glue layer is adopted, and glue is applied only to the outer peripheral area. Compared to the case of providing a part, the sense of stability of sticking can be enhanced, and the sticking strength of the sticking sheet can be maintained above a certain level, and workability at the time of re-sticking when reusing the big prize unit 55 is improved. Is possible. In addition, except for the outer peripheral region 195a, the first background decorative portion 191b, which is a translucent region, corresponds to the non-adhesive portion 196, so that high translucency can be maintained. Also, since the regions (transparent portions) corresponding to the first and second non-decorative portions 193 and 194 are also glue-free portions 196 except for the outer peripheral region 195a, it is possible to prevent a decrease in transparency due to glue. The visibility of game balls in the inclined rolling path 121, the distribution guide path 119a, and the distribution means 119 can be maintained at a high level.

FIG. 22 illustrates the second embodiment of the present invention, showing an example in which the decorative seal S11 in the first embodiment is partially changed to provide a gloss plate having gloss. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in that a glossy plate is added to the decorative seal S11.

FIG. 22 corresponds to FIG. 12 according to the first embodiment, and between the silk 4th plate (CMYK color) and the silk white (100%) plate, a pasta gloss plate such as silver (a new 5th version) are located. It should be noted that aspects of plates other than the glossy plate are the same as in the first embodiment. Thus, the decorative seal S11 of the present embodiment has 7 printing versions and 6 printing colors (including gloss).

The area (glossy area) of the fifth plate (glossy version) matches the area of the second decorative portion 162 . That is, the glossy layer is arranged behind the second decorative portion 162 . As a result, in the area of the second decorative portion 162, glossiness is added without changing the color, and the area looks like it reflects light and sparkles.

Note that the glossy plate may be arranged on the upper surface side than the color plate. In this case, the color behind the glossy area is masked. Moreover, a special plate other than the pasta glossy plate, such as a crease plate, a grain plate, or the like, may be used.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, when a partial glue layer is employed, it is desirable that the glue part in the outer peripheral area is arranged with a constant width without interruption along the outer circumference of the main body sheet, but there may be partial interruptions or changes in width. For example, when there is a U-shaped or other notch on the outer periphery of the main body sheet, it is desirable to arrange the adhesive part with a constant width along the notch as shown in FIG. As shown in B) and (C), depending on the size and shape of the notch, the adhesive portion of the outer peripheral region may have discontinuities or narrow portions. 23B and 23C are more advantageous than FIG. 23A if ease of peeling is given priority. Further, a portion of the outer peripheral region may be a non-adhesive portion, or a portion of the outer peripheral region may be narrowed (narrow width portion). As a result, a tool can be inserted into the adhesive-free portion or the narrow portion when peeling off the adhesive sheet, thereby facilitating the work.

In the embodiment, of the decorative stickers S11 to S16, the decorative stickers S14 and S16, which have a relatively small area, employ the full glue layer. Alternatively, a glue with a lower adhesive strength may be used. Partial adhesive layers may also be employed for the decorative seals S14 and S16.

In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, a common color arrangement is adopted for all of the plural types of attention calling stickers S1 to S7, but plural types of color arrangements may be adopted. However, even in this case, it is desirable to use a common color combination (yellow, black, and white) and not use that color combination for other patch sheets. FIG. 24 shows an example in which different color arrangements are adopted for the caution-calling stickers S5-S7 among the caution-calling stickers S1-S7 shown in FIG. In the caution stickers S5 to S7 shown in FIG. 24, the background is white, the characters and the like are black, and a black border is provided along the outer periphery of the main body sheet. Also, the first caution symbol s1' has a configuration in which a black "!" is arranged in a yellow triangle bordered in black.

In the caution seal S5 shown in FIG. 24(A), a first caution symbol s1′ and a black Gothic letter “Caution” are displayed on a first display portion a1 formed in a region of a constant width along the upper side. A second caution symbol s2 composed of characters is displayed, and in the second display area a2 below it, horizontally written black characters "Be careful of the edges of metal parts" are displayed in gothic font. ing.

The caution seal S6 shown in FIG. 24B is not divided into two areas, the first display portion a1 and the second display portion a2, and the second caution symbol s2 is not displayed. A first caution symbol s1' is displayed at the head of each of two types of character strings, ``beware of electric shock, beware of edges'' and ``beware of opening the back cover''. Similarly, the caution seal S7 shown in FIG. 24(C) is not divided into two areas, the first display portion a1 and the second display portion a2, and the second caution symbol s2 is not displayed. , a first caution symbol s1' is displayed next to the character string "Caution about high temperature of the power supply board" indicating the content to be careful about.

24 also uses the same combination of colors (yellow, black, white) as the caution sticker shown in FIG. On the front side (upper side) of the white main body sheet, two versions of yellow (Y version) and black (K version) are printed by silk printing, etc., and glue is applied to the entire back side. An adhesive layer (paste plate) may be provided on the entire surface.

In the embodiment, an example using two colors, white and black, is shown for the main board information display sticker S23, but only one color, white or black, may be used. In addition, although the upper surface side and the back surface side of the body sheet are each printed with a white plate, the white plate may be arranged only on either the upper surface side or the back surface side. Also, an information display attachment sheet similar to the main board information display sticker S23 may be attached to other board cases.

Although the embodiment shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko machine, the present invention can be similarly applied to various gaming machines such as slot machines, arrange ball machines, and majang ball game machines.
