  Such a decorative member 10 is installed on the game board 5 of the pachinko machine 1 in a state where the display unit Z (front side of the LCD 16) is located behind the pin pressing plate 14 (FIG. 6B). At this time, the boundary between the front decoration member 11 and the back decoration member 12 is substantially aligned with the back side. In addition, on the game area P of the pachinko machine 1, the symbol starting port 9 is located below the groove portions 28, 29 of the stages 26, 27 of the decorative member 10, and the grand prize winning port 9a is located further below. is doing. In addition, a supply tray 6 and a storage tray 7 protrude from the lower portion of the front frame 3 in a state where they are juxtaposed vertically, and an operation handle 8 protrudes from the right side of the storage tray 7.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 1 receives a predetermined number of prize balls according to the type of prize opening when a game ball is won in each prize opening such as the grand prize opening 9a. It comes to pay out by. In addition, the pachinko machine 1 can display symbols such as single-digit numbers and single-letter alphabets in various manners at three locations on the left side, center, and right side of the display unit Z. And when a game ball wins the symbol starting port 9, each symbol starts to change, and after a predetermined time, the display is stopped. Further, when the three symbols that are displayed in a stopped state are preset “hit symbols” (for example, when the three symbols are the same), a “hit state” occurs, and the big winning opening 9a. However, it is opened intermittently with a very high probability. In addition, the pachinko machine 1 notifies the occurrence of the “hit state” after the occurrence of the “hit state”, and further enhances the “hit state” over the entire display unit Z. , Video and messages are displayed.

  In the pachinko machine 1, the decorative member 10 is formed with the ball inlets 23, 23, the distribution plate 25, and the branch path R, and the pins 13, 13,. Since it is arrange | positioned ahead of Z, a game ball flows down ahead of the display part Z, colliding with a pin (FIG. 6).

  That is, when the game ball L flowing down the game area P passes through the ball entrance 23 of the front decoration member 11, the game ball L is bounced rearward by the distribution plate 25, and enters the center of the branch path R of the back decoration member 12. be introduced.
