Reflective to the side. The reflection surface 79 of each reflector 78 has an equal inclination angle with respect to the reflector fixing plate 70. The light reflected by the reflecting surface 79 is transmitted through the second cover transmissive illuminated portion 28F to the game area R1 side because the second cover transmissive illuminated portion 28F has light transmissive properties.

  This is the end of the description of the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment. Next, functions and effects of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described. When the player operates the operation knob 29 to launch a game ball into the game area R1, the game ball flows down the game area R1 and the game proceeds. As the game progresses, the lamp control board 42 turns on or off the side lamp 22 based on a command from the main control board 40 and is fixed to the back of each of the bulging walls 26, 27 and 28. An effect of turning on or off the plurality of LEDs on the upper illumination board 51P and the first and second LEDs 68 and 69 on the illumination board 60 is performed.

  The right lower part of the glass window 51W of the third bulging wall 28 (the first and second cover transmitting illuminated parts 28D, 28F and the first and second cover light-shielding bulges) of the bulging walls 26, 27, 28. A portion sandwiched between the protruding portions 28 </ b> C and 28 </ b> E is formed across the first cover 51 and the second cover 52. The electrical decoration board 60 is fixed to the first cover 51 side, and when the first cover 51 and the second cover 52 are both in the same open / closed state with respect to the gaming machine main body 10H, the first LED 68 is light. Is emitted to the first cover transmission decorating portion 28D, and the light of the second LED 69 is emitted toward the reflector 78 fixed to the second cover 52, whereby the second cover transmission decorating portion is emitted. 28F can be illuminated.

  The light of the first LED 68 is emitted toward the first cover transmission decorating portion 28D and irradiates the first cover transmission decorating portion 28D, and the light of the second LED 69 is fixed to the second cover 52. The reflected light is emitted toward the reflecting body 78 and reflected by the reflecting surface 79 of the reflecting body 78 to irradiate the second cover transmissive electric decoration portion 28F. The second cover transmissive illuminated portion 28F of the second cover 52 causes the second cover transmissive illuminated portion 28F to shine even if the second cover 52 does not have an LED as a light emitting element that requires electrical wiring. Can do.

  In addition, the illumination board 60 has a first LED 68 for irradiating the first cover transmissive illumination part 28D and a reflector fixed to the second cover 52 in the irradiation direction and the irradiation direction of the first LED 68 are different. Since the second LED 69 that irradiates toward 78 is mounted at the same time, the wiring connected to the first LED 68 and the second LED 69 can be routed together from the illumination board 60, so that the wiring efficiency is different. It's better than drawing around. This makes it possible to store the substrate more efficiently.

  And since it becomes unnecessary to provide the light emitting element (example: LED) for which electrical wiring is required for the 2nd cover 52, the wiring between the 2nd cover 52 and the game machine main body 10H may be lost. In this case, it is only necessary to provide a bridging portion for the wiring 51Q only between the first cover 51 and the gaming machine main body 10H, so that the burden of wiring work can be reduced. Further, when there is no wiring between the second cover 52 and the gaming machine main body 10H or when the number of wirings is reduced, wiring troubles (wirings are generated) when the first and second covers 51 and 52 are opened and closed. It is possible to suppress troubles such as pinching and disconnection due to pinching.

  Furthermore, in the case of increasing the number of covers having a transmissive illumination part, by providing a reflector that reflects the light from the second LED 69 fixed to the first cover 51 on the increased additional cover, It is possible to reduce the number of wiring bridging portions between the first cover 51 and the gaming machine main body 10H, and it is possible to reduce the load of wiring work.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the light emitted from the second LED 69 diffuses and is reflected by the reflector 78 arranged on the reflector fixing plate 70 through the optical paths L1, L2, L3, and L4. Irradiated to the two-cover transmission illumination part 28F. The incident angle at which the light emitted from the second LED 69 impinges on each reflector 78 is different for each reflector 78 and decreases with increasing distance from the second cover facing surface transmitting portion 52J. It spreads and irradiates the transmission illumination part 28F.

  Thus, according to the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the light emitted from the second LED 69 fixed to the first cover 51 is reflected by the reflecting surface of the reflector 78 fixed to the second cover 52. The second cover transmissive electric decoration part 28 </ b> F provided in the second cover 52 can be illuminated by the light reflected by 79. The right side position of the second cover 52 is far from the rotation axis of the second cover 52, and the lower plate 28A and the like interfere with each other, so it is difficult to provide a wiring space, but the reflector 70 is provided. Therefore, the 2nd cover permeation | transmission illumination part 28F can be provided and it can be made to shine. Therefore, the freedom degree of arrangement | positioning of a permeation | transmission illumination part can be made high.
