FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of the entirety of the pachinko game hall A. As will be described in detail later, the main body a of the pachinko game hall forming the pachinko game hall A has a main body ceiling part a1, a main body side wall part a2, and a main body floor. It comprises a part a3 (see FIG. 5). FIG.
According to the above, the management office 2 provided in a corner of the game hall is connected to the sound quality conversion amplifier 3 connected to the speakers 1a, 1b, 1c using the wiring 7, and to the sound quality conversion amplifier 3 using the wiring 8, Microphone 4 that is a sound source of various information
In addition, a computer 6 is provided which collectively manages announcements in the venue by the tape recorder 5 and the microphone 4, music of background music by the tape recorder 5, sound effects related to games, and the like. Note that the computer 6 is wired to each of the pachinko machines P, and the computer 6 is provided with information from each of the pachinko machines P, for example, game information such as winning information, special prize information, difference ball information, and hitting information.

Information from each sound source (announcements in the field by the microphone 4, various musics played by the tape recorder 5, sound effects related to the game, etc.) is electrically input to the sound quality conversion amplifier 3, The sound quality conversion amplifier 3 converts the sound quality by controlling the frequency of the sound wave like the high sound wave form 10, the medium sound wave form 11, and the low sound wave form 12 shown in FIG. 4, and amplifies as necessary. Further, these converted and amplified information is derived by the computer 6 according to the purpose (the speakers 1a and 1a).
b, 1c) are freely selected and the corresponding speakers 1
a, 1b, and 1c.

A typical use example of the notification device of the pachinko game hall A thus configured will be described. 1. Personal information that the hall side strongly desires for a specific player, such as a notice of a stoppage or a request to return the obtained prize ball, is notified with higher sound quality than the upper speaker 1a of the corresponding pachinko machine P. 2. A sound effect related to the game, for example, a fanfare derived at the time of a big hit or a specific prize, is notified from the middle speaker 1b of the corresponding pachinko machine P with medium sound quality. 3. A general announcement in the hall for an unspecified number of players is notified with a lower sound quality than all the lower speakers 1c.

That is, in the embodiment described above, the notification means includes at least one upper speaker 1a provided for each pachinko machine P installed on the pachinko island stand main body b, and the upper speakers 1a , The computer 6 selects a specific (applicable) upper-stage speaker 1a, and the upper-stage speaker 1a reports specific information intended for a specific player. It becomes easier to notice information, and specific information can be transmitted more accurately. Note that the upper speaker 1a corresponds to the corresponding notification means described in claim 1.

An upper speaker 1a and a lower speaker 1c as a plurality of notifying means capable of notifying information by sound are provided on a pachinko island stand main body b on which a pachinko machine P can be installed.
Are provided at a plurality of locations. And the lower speaker 1c
Informs general information targeting an unspecified number of players, and the upper loudspeaker 1a informs specific information targeting a specific player. Therefore, specific information notified from a position different from the general information Can be easily noticed, and specific information can be more accurately conveyed.
Even if the pachinko machine P is replaced, the upper speaker 1
a, the middle speaker 1b, and the lower speaker 1c
It will remain in the pachinko island stand main body b, and the notification device can be used without any trouble. In addition, the upper speaker 1 a
The lower speaker 1c
Corresponds to the general information notifying means described in claim 2.

When the upper loudspeaker 1a reports specific information intended for a specific player, the computer 6
Controls the sound quality conversion amplifier 3, and the sound quality conversion amplifier 3 converts the sound quality and performs the conversion with this sound quality. Therefore, it becomes easy to notice the specific information that is reported with a sound quality different from the normal sound quality, and the specific information can be more accurately recognized. Can tell. In addition, as other typical usage examples, The game machine such as the pachinko machine P and the throttle and the equipment such as the ball returning device 27 and the money changer are connected to the sound quality conversion amplifier 3 by wiring, and the sound effects and the like provided in advance in the game machine and the equipment itself are used. To be notified from the speakers 1a, 1b, 1c. 5. The background music matches that song,
For example, mood-like music such as ballads is reported in the middle and lower sounds from the middle and lower speakers 1b and 1c, and rhythmic music such as warship march is reported in the higher and middle sounds from the upper and middle speakers 1a and 1b.

The above is one embodiment according to the present invention,
It goes without saying that the design can be freely changed within the scope of the utility model registration claim. For example, as shown in FIG.
An upper speaker 1a is provided on a main body ceiling part a1 of the pachinko game hall main body a forming the pachinko game hall A, and a main body side wall part a2 is provided.
May be provided with a middle speaker 1b, and a main body floor portion a3 may be provided with a lower speaker 1c, and as shown in FIG. 6, a single pachinko machine capable of providing a pachinko game to a player by itself. On the island B, the speakers 1a, 1b,
1c may be provided.

Although not shown, at an appropriate place in the air,
A substantially mirror ball-shaped speaker device may be hung, and the speaker device may be formed to move up and down with a change in sound quality. In addition, with the vertical movement of the speaker device,
It is advisable to enhance the decorative effect by appropriately flashing or discoloring.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the treble sound is output to the upper speaker 1a, the middle sound is output to the middle speaker 1b, and the low sound is output to the lower speaker 1c. However, the present invention is not limited to this. May be appropriately changed. The shape of the speakers 1a, 1b, 1c is not limited. Further, a lamp, an LED, or the like is attached to the periphery of the speakers 1a, 1b, 1c. And the special prize lamp 26 are simultaneously blinked to enhance the decorative effect and appeal to the player.

The cassette tape or the like used for the tape recorder 5 may be preliminarily selected and recorded as a tune or sound effect according to the intended use. For example, the tune according to the intended use may be a rhythmic one. It is desirable to create a fanfare to be used for big hits by classifying and mood-like ones and creating sound effects. The frequency of the sound wave converted by the sound quality conversion amplifier 3 is 10 kHz to 20
kHz, 500Hz to 1kHz for medium tone, 50H for low tone
The optimum frequency is about 100 Hz from z, whereby the pitch difference between the speakers 1a, 1b, and 1c can be surely selected.
