The special winning opening 19 is provided below the symbol display 18, and when a predetermined symbol is displayed on the symbol display 18 and a big hit occurs, the solenoid 17 is actuated for a certain period of time, or Until a predetermined number of game balls enter, an open state is maintained and game balls are received. An upper plate 8 for storing game balls and supplying the game balls to a firing position is fixed to a front plate 22 attached to the front frame 6 so as to be freely opened and closed.
The operation handle 5 is provided at a lower right portion of the upper plate 8, and a lower plate 9 for storing game balls overflowing with the upper plate 8 is provided at a left portion of the operation handle 5.

FIGS. 4 to 7 are sectional views taken along line AA of FIG.
Is not shown), and illustrates a configuration in which the display 18 can be reused. (Embodiment 1) This embodiment is shown in FIG. 4. A front frame 6 is attached to a wooden frame 1 (not shown) via a rotating body 6a so as to be openable and closable. It is fixed to the back surface of the front frame 6. The game board 60 is housed in the back frame 3 and is fixed by a fixture not shown. At the approximate center of the game board 60, an opening hole 65 is formed, through which a display 18 to be described later can be seen from the front side, and a decoration 64 is attached to the periphery of the opening hole 65. A control board 71 having a display data ROM, a control ROM, display control means, and the like is attached to the back surface of the game board 60. The control board 71 is provided with a signal from a main controller (not shown). The display 18 displays symbols and the like. On the other hand, the mechanism plate 41 is attached to the back frame 3 via a rotating body 41a so as to be openable and closable. A ventilation hole 44b is provided substantially at the center of the mechanism plate 41.
A control box 21 having a display driving means to which a display 18 is attached is fixed to a support 45 in the cover 44. ing. The signal transmission from the control board 71 to the display driving means is performed by the flexible signal line 47.
Through the connectors 47a and 47b. The front view of the assembled pachinko machine as shown in FIG.
The display 18 is visible through the opening 65, and the game can be played in the same state as in the related art. On the other hand, when replacing the game board 60, the connector 47a is detached. The game board 60 is discarded, but the display 18 attached to the mechanism board 41 and the display driving means in the control box 21 can be reused. That is, the control board 71 having a different display content is attached to the back surface of the game board 60 on which the new design is applied, and after replacing the game board 60 with the game board 60, the connector 47a is connected. May be displayed on the display 18.

(Embodiment 2) In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the control board 72 is different from the embodiment 1 in that it can be mounted on and removed from the control box 21 having a built-in display driving means. The difference is that a display data ROM or the like is not provided on the back surface. The control box 21 is provided with a connector 21a. On the other hand, the control board 72 is formed by covering the same control board as in the first embodiment with a cover 72b, and is provided with a connector 72a detachable from the connector 21a at an end. Form. In addition, cover 4
4 is provided with a vent hole 44b. The other components are the same as those in the first embodiment (FIG. 4), and will not be described. When the display content of the display 18 is changed, the control board 72 is changed from the vent hole 44b. For this reason, even if the game board 60 is replaced, the display 18 and the display driving means can be reused. Further, regardless of whether or not the game board 60 is replaced, the control board 7 is used when the display content is changed.
This is made possible by replacing only two.

(Embodiment 3) In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a display 18 is provided on a support 4 provided in a cover 44.
5 is fixed to a support member 48 fixed to both ends. On the other hand, the display data RO
A control board 73 having a display drive unit together with a control ROM, a control ROM, a display control unit, and the like is additionally provided. Display 1
8 is controlled by a main controller, not shown, and sends a signal from the control board 73 via a flexible signal line 47 connecting the connectors 47a and 47b. Other components and the like are the same as those in the first embodiment (FIG. 4), and will not be described. In the case of this embodiment, when the game board 60 is replaced, the display control board 73 including the display driving means is discarded.
Only is reusable. (Embodiment 4) In this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
Is fixed in the cover 44 by a support member 48, and the support member 48 has a connector 74a of a control board 74 described later.
Is provided with a connector 48a which can be attached and detached. On the other hand, the control board 74 incorporates a display driving means together with a display data ROM, a control ROM, a display control means, etc., which have the same function as the control board of the third embodiment, and is detachably attached to the connector 48a at an end. A connector 74a is attached and covered with a cover 74b. Other parts and the like are described in Example 1.
Since it is the same as (FIG. 4), the description is omitted. The contents of the display 18 can be changed by replacing the control board 74. Even if the game board 60 is replaced, the display 18 does not need to be discarded. Also, the control board 7
By replacing 4, new display contents can be displayed.

(Embodiment 5) In the present embodiment, the display 18 is movably mounted in a cover 44 constituting the mechanism plate 41, so that it can easily cope with a new design of the game board 60. be able to. FIG. 8 is a plan view of a cover 44 attached to the back surface of the mechanism plate 41, FIG. 9 is a side view taken along arrows BB in FIG. 8, FIG. 10 is a rear view, and FIG.
It is C sectional drawing. The cover 44 is formed in a box shape, and a rotating body 44a is attached to the mechanism plate 41 so as to be openable and closable and detachable, and a screw hole 46 for fixing is formed at the other end. Further, a pair of grooves 48 are formed in the surface of the cover 44, and the cross section thereof is square, and the top surface has a groove 47a (the groove 48a).
(In the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction), the guide body 47
The screw 49 is stopped via 8. On the other hand, holes (not shown) are formed at both ends of the control box 21 containing the display driving means to which the display 18 is fixed, and the screws 50 are stopped through the grooves 47 a of the guide body 47. That is, the display 1
8 can be moved left and right in FIG. 10 by relaxing the screw 49, and can be moved up and down in FIG. 10 by relaxing the screw 50. Therefore, the game board 60 does not need to be designed with the display 18 as a specific position, and can be designed on the assumption that it is installed at various positions. It goes without saying that the position of the opening hole 65 formed in the game board 60 is clear so as to correspond to the position where the display 18 is fixed. As described above, by attaching the display 18 to the mechanism plate 41 so as to be movable, it is possible to cope with gaming boards having various designs, and the display 18 can be reused further. Although the display 18 is shown in combination with a control box 21 having a display control means, only the display 18 can be formed to be movable, as shown in the first to fourth embodiments. It is also possible to configure and make the display 18 movable.
