Reference numeral 34 denotes a variable display provided at the center of the front surface of the winning device 7, which has an LED display behind the window 35. The LED display section can display an arbitrary number or picture by changing the display state of a large number of dot structures. Reference numeral 36 denotes a winning ball detector provided at a lower portion of the front surface of the mounting board 28, and guides and detects a specific winning ball that is waiting to be received and waiting on the back side of the lower decorative body 33. The winning opening 10 has a well-known structure in which a horizontally long opening 38 is formed in a mounting board 37, and a lower end is pivotally supported by the opening 38, and the opening 38 is tilted forward to open the opening 38. Things. Next, the operation of the lamp decoration for a pachinko machine of this embodiment will be described. First, when a hit ball hit into the game section 6 passes through the passing chuck 9 and is detected by the prize ball detector 8, the display signal of the variable display 34 of the prize device 7 fluctuates according to the detection signal, and is fixed. Stop after a lapse of time.
Then, the display at the time of the stop is set in advance (for example, "1, 1, 1", "7, 7, 7", etc.).
The opening and closing wing pieces 29, 29 of the winning device 7 are opened for a predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds) so as to easily receive a hit ball. However, when the open / close wing pieces 29, 29 are in an open state, if a hit ball enters between the two wing pieces 29, 29, the hit ball is guided to the inside of the upper concave chamber 30, and the upper decorative body. 32, at least one of them is stored in the upper decorative body 32 with a high probability, and the other hit balls fall and are discharged as mere winning balls. Then, the upper decoration body 32 is rotated rearward almost at the same time when the opening / closing wing pieces 29 are closed after a predetermined time (for example, 3 to 5 seconds) elapses. As a result, the hit ball flows down into the lower concave chamber 31 and stands by while being received by the back side of the lower decorative body 33. On the other hand, almost simultaneously with this, the lower decorative body 33 is rotated forward. As a result, the hit ball which has been waiting loses the support of the lower decorative body 33, falls, and flows out from the lower portion of the winning device 7 to the back side of the game board 3. that time,
It is detected by the winning ball detector 36, and the "big hit"
As a right. Therefore, in this right generation state, when the hit ball B enters the standby port 15 provided above the lamp decoration, as shown in FIG.
Is waiting on the surface of the. When the hitting ball holding portion 19 of the rotating body 16 rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3 and coincides with the standby port 15, the hit ball B located in the waiting port 15 is received by the ball holding portion 19 and is like a chain line. Carried down,
As shown in FIG. 5, the prize ball detector 20 detects the lower portion thereof and flows down the ball passage 21 to discharge the outlet 2 of the mounting plate 13.
1a flows out to the back of the game board 3. When a hit ball is detected by the winning ball detector 20, the opening / closing door 39 of the special winning opening 10 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 29 hours).
Seconds) or until a certain number (for example, 10)
Will be opened until the winning ball is won. As described above, in the “right generation” state, the opening operation of the opening / closing door 39 of the special winning opening 10 is promised for a predetermined cycle (for example, 16 times) on condition that a hit ball of a lamp decoration is won. As a result, a large number of winning balls are generated, and the player can receive a great profit. While the lamp decoration performs these operations, the lamp 27 blinks during the operation to exhibit a decoration effect. The same effect can be obtained even if the lamp 27 is not mounted in the lamp decoration. In addition, although it is usually desirable to mount the lamp decoration on the right side of the game board 3, it may be mounted on the left side depending on the gauge configuration. As described above, the present invention can simultaneously exert a function as a winning opening in addition to the original decorative function. Further, since the partition frame 21b, which is a part of the lens member 14, also has translucency, even if the lamp 27 is located below the partition frame 21b, the light is not transmitted to the partition frame 21b.
b, it does not impair the illumination effect throughout the entire body without being interrupted by b. Thereby, the layout design of the lamp 27 can be freely performed without restriction. The partition frame 21b also has the same color as the lens member 14, and the lens member 1 emits light when it emits light.
The appearance of No. 4 is not impaired. Further, unlike the prior art, the prize winning device provided with the rotating body is not mounted separately from the lamp decoration, so that the work of mounting the game panel mounting parts can be simplified and the production cost can be reduced. . In addition, the so-called gauges in the gaming portion of the gaming board are substantially symmetrical as a whole on the left and right sides, so that a well-balanced design can be achieved, and the flow-down range of the pachinko balls can be extended accordingly. Further, since the obstruction nail for protecting the winning device provided with the rotating body from the pachinko ball flowing down and the obstruction nail for determining whether the pachinko ball enters or not into the winning device are not required, the work for mounting them is not required. Can be simplified, and the troublesome adjustment for determining whether to enter or not can be omitted. Further, usually, various designs such as pachinko machines are provided on the game board surface in accordance with the type of the pachinko machine in order to enhance the interest of the game. Since it is not attached separately, the original decorative function of the design can be exhibited more. As described above, according to the lamp decoration for the pachinko machine according to the present invention, the lamp decoration is mounted along the inside of the inner rail laid on the game board surface. A standby port provided on a decorative lens member and into which a hit ball enters, and a rotating body provided with a ball holding portion that is rotated by a motor and receives and carries a hit ball located at the standby port on its peripheral surface.
Since it is provided with a winning ball detector for detecting a hit ball carried by the rotating body and a ball passage for discharging the hit ball to the back side of the game board, a function as a winning port in addition to the original decorative function Can be provided at the same time. In addition, this makes it possible to provide a novel gauge configuration that gives a change to the game board surface, and also has the effect of significantly enhancing the atmosphere of the game and increasing the interest in pachinko games.
