When the game ball wins the winning opening 118, the prize ball payout device is activated to pay out a predetermined number (for example, five) of the prize balls. It is discharged from the prize ball discharge port 46 to the ball tray 28 through the outlet 44.
[0072]
Further, when winning at the start port 110, a winning / losing lottery process is executed on the main control board 150, and the lottery result is obtained by displaying a plurality of special symbols arranged on the display screen 108 of the special symbol display device 106. It is displayed by a combination of stop symbols that have been changed by the pattern and passed through the change pattern. In addition, for this special symbol variation pattern, for example, a number of patterns that take various effects and tastes into consideration, such as the display of a winning symbol after reach, a display of a missed symbol, or a missed symbol display without reach, are prepared. The player receives these effects and observes the lottery result of the special symbol with expectation.
[0073]
Then, when the lottery result is “big hit”, a combination of predetermined predetermined winning symbols such as “555” is displayed on the display screen 108 of the special symbol display device 106 through a reach action, for example. At the same time, effects such as blinking of the indicator lamp 80 and the lamp 130 and output of sound effects from the speakers 86 and 88 are added to notify the player that the jackpot has occurred, and a predetermined jackpot operation is executed.
[0074]
Further, at the timing when the winning symbol is displayed, the player is photographed by the CMOS camera 200, and the player's bust-up image is synthesized and displayed in the animation after the winning symbol is displayed on the display screen 108.

Next, functions and effects of this embodiment will be described.
[0078]
In the present embodiment, when the image processing control board 160 of the special symbol display device 106 becomes high temperature during operation of the pachinko machine 10, the heat is conducted from the connection part 232 side of the flexible board 230 to the CMOS camera 200 side. The heat is absorbed (conducted) by the heat sink 280 while being conducted through the flexible substrate 230, and part of the heat is dissipated from the heat sink 280 to the atmosphere in the cavity 242. Further, the remaining heat is absorbed (conducted) from the heat sink 280 to the camera mounting member 234, and is dissipated from the entire surface of the camera mounting member 234 to the atmosphere 282 (see FIG. 11) on the back surface 100B side of the game board 100. In particular, here, since the heat radiation part 270 having a large surface area has a large contact area with the atmosphere 282, the ratio of the amount of heat dissipated is larger than that of other parts. Thereby, the amount of heat conducted to the CMOS camera 200 via the flexible substrate 230 is reduced, and the CMOS camera 200 is indirectly cooled. Therefore, the temperature rise of the CMOS camera 200 can be suppressed, and malfunctions and image quality degradation of captured images can be prevented.
[0079]
Here, as described above, the heat sink 280 is brought into contact with the camera mounting member 234 for mounting the CMOS camera 200 to the special symbol display device 106, so that the heat of the heat sink 280 can be conducted to the camera mounting member 234. It becomes. The camera mounting member 234 is provided with a heat radiating portion 270 to dissipate heat conducted from the heat sink 280, thereby promoting heat dissipation of the CMOS camera 200 and enhancing the cooling effect.
[0080]
In the present embodiment, the heat sink 280 is fixed in surface contact with the surface (upper surface 230A) of the flexible substrate 230. As described above, the heat conduction efficiency of heat conducted from the flexible board 230 to the heat sink 280 can be improved by bringing the flexible board 230 and the heat sink 280 into surface contact.
[0081]
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the conductive pattern 231 provided on the flexible substrate 230 has high thermal conductivity, the heat conducted from the image processing control board 160 that has become a high temperature during operation to the flexible board 230 Most is conducted by the conductive pattern 231. On the other hand, the heat sink 280 is conducted along the conductive pattern 231 by being in surface contact with the surface of the flexible substrate 230 over the width direction of the flexible substrate 230 intersecting the conductive pattern 231 of the flexible substrate 230. Heat is efficiently absorbed and dissipated by the heat sink 280, and the cooling effect of the flexible substrate 230 is improved. Therefore, the amount of heat conducted to the CMOS camera 200 via the flexible substrate 230 can be further reduced, and the temperature rise of the CMOS camera 200 can be kept low.
[0082]
[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, the shape and installation location of the heat radiating member (heat sink) for cooling the CMOS camera 200 are changed, but the same configuration as the configuration described in the first embodiment is the same. A reference numeral is attached and the description thereof is omitted.
[0083]
FIG. 18 is a side sectional view of the CMOS camera 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention attached to the camera attachment member 234 and the camera cover 236. As shown in FIG. 18, in this embodiment, a heat sink 290 is attached to the front surface 200 </ b> A of the CMOS camera 200.
[0084]
The heat sink 290 is made of an aluminum alloy and is formed in a thin plate shape, and a circular hole 292 corresponding to the photographing lens 201 of the CMOS camera 200 is formed in the approximate center of the front view. Further, the photographing lens 201 is fitted into the circular hole 292 and is fixed to the CMOS camera 200 with an adhesive having a good thermal conductivity in a state where the rear surface 290B is in close contact with the front surface 200A of the CMOS camera 200. When the CMOS camera 200 is attached to the camera attachment member 234 and the camera cover 236, the front surface 290A of the heat sink 290 is in close contact with the rear surface (inner surface) of the front wall 236A of the camera cover 236.
[0085]
Thereby, the heat conducted from the flexible board 230 to the CMOS camera 200 is absorbed (conducted) by the heat sink 290, and a part of the heat is dissipated from the heat sink 290 to the atmosphere 294 in the camera cover 236. The remaining heat is absorbed (conducted) from the heat sink 290 to the camera cover 236 and further transmitted to the camera mounting member 234, and the entire surface of the camera cover 236, the surface of the camera mounting member 234, and the heat radiating portion 270.

Thus, in this embodiment, the CMOS camera 200 is directly cooled by the heat sink 290, and the temperature rise is suppressed. The heat sink 290 is in contact with a camera cover 236 that constitutes an attachment member for attaching the CMOS camera 200 to the special symbol display device 106, so that the heat of the heat sink 290 passes through the camera cover 236 and the heat radiating portion 270 is moved. Conduction to the camera mounting member 234 provided becomes possible. Therefore, the heat conducted from the heat sink 290 is also dissipated from the heat radiating part 270, so that the heat radiation of the CMOS camera 200 is promoted and the cooling effect is enhanced.

The heat dissipating member 295 is formed in an annular shape from an elastic material having high thermal conductivity such as silicone or acrylic synthetic rubber, and the inner diameter is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the front part of the CMOS camera 200. The length dimension (thickness dimension) in the front-rear direction is set to be the same as the length dimension in the front-rear direction of the front portion of the CMOS camera 200. Further, the CMOS camera 200 is attached to the front portion by fitting a hollow portion. Therefore, in the attached state, the entire heat radiation member 295 expanded and deformed in the radial direction has a restoring force in the contracting direction due to the elastic force. It is held at the front portion of the CMOS camera 200 by the frictional force with the outer peripheral surface 200B of the front portion of the CMOS camera 200 due to the force generated in the contraction direction.
[0090]
When the CMOS camera 200 is attached to the camera attachment member 234 and the camera cover 236, the front end surface of the heat dissipation member 295 is in close contact with the rear surface (inner surface) of the front wall 236A of the camera cover 236. The outer peripheral surface of 295 is in close contact with the upper surface of the lower wall 236B and the lower surface of the upper rib 248 of the camera cover 236 and the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls of the camera cover 236 (not shown in FIG. 19).
[0091]
Thereby, the heat conducted from the flexible substrate 230 to the CMOS camera 200 is absorbed (conducted) by the heat radiating member 295, and a part of the heat is dissipated from the heat radiating member 295 to the atmosphere 294 in the camera cover 236. The remaining heat is absorbed (conducted) from the heat radiating member 295 to the camera cover 236 and also conducted to the camera mounting member 234, and the entire surface of the camera cover 236, the surface of the camera mounting member 234, and the heat radiating portion 270. Are diffused into the atmosphere of the space 266 in the decorative member 260 and the atmosphere 282 on the back surface 100B side of the game board 100.
[0092]
As described above, also in the present embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the CMOS camera 200 is directly cooled by the heat radiating member 295, and the temperature rise is suppressed. Also in this case, since the heat radiating member 295 is in contact with the camera cover 236, the heat of the heat radiating member 295 is conducted to the camera mounting member 234 through the camera cover 236 and is also dissipated from the heat radiating portion 270 of the camera mounting member 234. Is done. Therefore, the heat dissipation of the CMOS camera 200 is promoted and the cooling effect is enhanced.
[0093]
Further, since the heat radiating member 295 is attached to the CMOS camera 200 without using bonding or the like, the attaching operation is facilitated.
[0094]
The present invention has been described in detail with reference to the first to third embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various other embodiments are possible within the scope of the present invention. .

For example, an adhesive tape 244 for fixing the CMOS camera 200 to the camera mounting member 234 may be one having good thermal conductivity, or the camera mounting member 234 and the camera cover 236 may be synthesized with an epoxy system having high thermal conductivity. The cooling effect of the CMOS camera 200 can be further enhanced by forming it with a metal material such as a resin material or aluminum.
[0096]
In addition, the type of wiring is not limited to the flexible substrate 230 described above, and may be replaced with other wiring such as a conductive wire that is normally used. Regarding the installation location of the CMOS camera 200, in addition to the upper side of the special symbol display device 106, for example, it can be installed in another position such as an empty space on the right side of the special symbol display device 106 or the front surface of the inner frame 14.
