When the game ball is rotated by a predetermined angle or more, the game balls supplied from the supply plate 4 to the launching device are launched into the game area. The launched game ball collides with a prize device (not shown), a symbol display device, an obstacle nail, a windmill or the like, and flows down while rolling. At that time, when the game ball wins, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the supply plate 4 or the storage plate 5. Also, game balls that have not flown in and have flowed down to the lower end of the game area are collected at an out port (not shown). If the stop button 20 is pressed during the game, the firing device stops regardless of the turning angle of the turning member 10.

When the above members inside the neck 7 are replaced or when repair or maintenance is required, the operation handle 6 is first removed from the pachinko machine 1 body, and then the neck 7 is removed from the coupling ring 9 and divided. Process.

Since the operation handle 6 has a neck 7 having a divided structure, it is possible to easily install a member inside the operation handle 6 which has been impossible or very difficult to perform and to repair or replace the member. That is, at the time of manufacture, since the reinforcing ribs 14a and the member fixing ribs 14b and the like can be easily formed integrally, members such as the volume 22 can be installed in a free layout. Also in maintenance, the neck 7 can be easily divided and assembled, so that the installed members can be cleaned, repaired, and replaced easily. Further, by incorporating the board 19 into the neck 7 and connecting each member with the connector 25, the wiring is not entangled and connection errors are less likely to occur.

The pachinko machine according to the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but includes the structure of the pachinko machine main body, the material and shape of the neck, the shape of the head, the coupling member, the rotating member, the connecting rod, and the like. The design of the components, the transmission means of the rotation angle information of the rotation member, the form of the wiring, the mounting structure of the stop button and the ground, the configuration and the arrangement of the substrate, and the like can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. .
