DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game block (island) in which a plurality of pachinko machines are arranged on a predetermined surface in a pachinko game arcade.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pachinko game hall usually has an "island".
There are a plurality of blocks referred to as a row, and an appropriate number of pachinko machines are arranged in this block. As such a block (island), for example, there is a linear block body 01 as shown in FIG.
The upper cover body 02 and the lower side plate 03 are fixedly provided via a frame (not shown). Inside the block body 01 covered by the cover body 02 and the side plate 03, a device or the like having an appropriate function is provided.

The pachinko machine 010 has a board 09 having a screen portion 05, upper and lower ball trays 06 and 07, and a handle portion 08 as shown in FIG. And a plate-shaped control device 012 having an opening and closing operation. The pachinko machine 010 thus configured includes an opening 04 formed between the cover 02 and the side plate 03 of the block 01 together with the frame 01 having the board 09 and the control device 012.
It can be arranged in.

However, in the above-described pachinko machine 010, since the control device 012 must be replaced when the machines are replaced, each pachinko machine 010 becomes heavy, and the pachinko machine 010 is loaded. Outgoing work or installation and removal work on the block body 01 was difficult. In addition, since the frame body 011 pivotally supporting the substrate 09 and the control device 012 and the connection hinge portion were easily subjected to a load, the frame body 011 had to be formed firmly.

Further, it is conceivable that the control device 012, which is no longer required due to the exchange of the table, may be used by attaching it to a new table again. However, this installation and removal work takes time and is sometimes unnecessary. Control device 01
2 may not be able to cope with the shape of the new table, and in that case, a new control device 012 must be produced, and thus there is a problem that the cost increases.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and by providing a control device corresponding to each pachinko machine in a block body in advance, it is easy to replace the machines and to reduce the cost. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko game block that can be performed in a game.
