The game board 30 includes a general winning port 31, a variable winning device 32, a first starting port 33 (for example, an operation chucker), a second starting port 34 (for example, a through gate), a variable display unit 35, and the like. The general winning port 31, the variable winning device 32, the first starting port 33, the second starting port 34, the variable display unit 35 and the like are respectively provided in the through holes formed by the router processing in the game board 30. The game board 30 is attached from the front side with a wood screw or the like. A game ball enters the above-described general winning opening 31, variable winning device 32, and first start opening 33, and the winning balls are detected switches (winning opening switch (not shown), count switch (not shown), And a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 19 (or the lower plate 15) based on the output of the detection switch. In addition, the game board 30 is provided with an out port 36, and game balls that have not entered the various winning devices etc. are guided through the out port 36 to a ball discharge path (not shown). It has become. A number of nails are planted on the game board 30 in order to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game balls, and various members (acts) such as the windmill 37 are arranged.

  The variable display unit 35 has a first symbol display device 42 for variably displaying a first symbol (for example, a special symbol) as identification information with a winning at the first starting port 33 as a trigger, and a second starting port 34. And a second symbol display device 41 for variably displaying a second symbol (for example, a normal symbol).

  The second symbol display device 41 has a second symbol display unit 43 and a holding lamp 44, and each time a game ball passes through the second starting port 34, for example, a display symbol (ordinary symbol) by the display unit 43 is displayed. The first start port 33 is configured to be in an activated state (opened) for a predetermined time when the fluctuation display stops at a predetermined symbol. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the second start opening 34 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times the game ball is held is lighted and displayed by the hold lamp 44. The display unit 43 may be configured to be variably displayed by a part of the first symbol display device 42 (liquid crystal display device) in addition to the configuration to be variably displayed by switching lighting of a plurality of lamps. . Similarly, the hold lamp 44 may be configured to be variably displayed on a part of the first symbol display device 42. The second symbol display device 41 described above corresponds to the normal identification information fluctuation display means in the present invention.

  The first symbol display device 42 is configured as a liquid crystal display device, and the display content is controlled by a display control device 45 described later. The first symbol display device 42 displays, for example, three symbol rows of left, middle and right. Each symbol row is composed of a plurality of symbols, and these symbols are variably displayed on the first symbol display device 42 so as to be scrolled for each symbol row. In the present embodiment, the first symbol display device 42 (liquid crystal display device) is provided with a large 9.5 inch size liquid crystal display, for example. The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 so as to surround the first symbol display device 42. The first symbol display device 42 described above corresponds to the identification information variation display means in the present invention, and the display control device 45 described above corresponds to the display control means in the present invention.

  The variable winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won or difficult to win, and is repeatedly operated between an open state in which a game ball is easy to win and a normal closed state in the event of a big win. ing. More specifically, when a game ball wins the first starting port 33, the symbols are displayed in a variable manner on the first symbol display device 42, and the final symbol after the stop becomes a combination of specific symbols set in advance. A special gaming state occurs. The large winning opening 32a of the variable winning device 32 is in a predetermined open state, so that the game ball is likely to win a prize (a big hit state). Specifically, the passage of a predetermined time or a predetermined number of winnings is regarded as one round, and the big winning opening 32a of the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the first start port 33 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times that the game ball is held is lit and displayed by the hold lamp 46. Note that the hold lamp 46 may be configured so as to be variably displayed on a part of the first symbol display device 42.

  Further, the game board 30 is provided with a rail unit 50 for guiding the game ball launched from the game ball launching device 38 to the upper part of the game board 30, and is launched in accordance with the turning operation of the game ball launch handle 18. The played game balls are guided to a predetermined game area through the rail unit 50. The rail unit 50 is formed of a ring-shaped resin molded product (for example, a molded product added with fluororesin), and has an inner rail 51 and an outer rail 52 that are integrally formed in an inner and outer double. .

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to the tip of the inner rail 51 (upper left portion in FIG. 4). This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the ball guide path between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 to the upper part of the game board 30 returns to the ball guide path again. Yes. Further, a return rubber 54 is attached to the outer rail 52 at a position corresponding to the maximum flight portion of the game ball (upper right portion in FIG. 4: a portion corresponding to the tip portion of the outer rail 52). Therefore, the game ball fired at a predetermined momentum or more hits the return rubber 54 and is bounced back. On the inner surface of the outer rail 52, there is a sliding plate 55 as a long metal strip made of stainless steel to make the flight of the game ball smoother, that is, to reduce the frictional resistance of the game ball. It is attached.

  A convex portion 57 is formed at the entrance of the ball guide passage between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 so as to close a part of the ball guide passage. The convex portion 57 is provided in a substantially vertical direction from the inner rail 51 to the lower end portion of the rail unit 50, and a foul ball that does not reach the game area and flows backward in the ball guide passage is used as a foul ball passage 63 (see FIG. 3). Play a role in guiding. The lower right corner and the lower left corner of the game board 30 are spaces for sticking stickers (S1, S2 in FIG. 4) and plates such as stamps (for example, serial numbers are described). In order to secure this adhering space, notches 58 and 59 are formed in the flange 56. By sticking a seal such as a certificate (S1, S2 in FIG. 4) to the lower right corner or the lower left corner of the game board 30, the game board 30 and the certificate can be uniquely defined.

  Next, the game area will be described. The game area is partitioned and formed in a substantially circular shape by the inner peripheral portion (inner and outer rails) of the rail unit 50. In particular, in this embodiment, the game area partitioned on the board surface of the game board 30 is far more than conventional. It is greatly configured. In the present embodiment, the distance between the uppermost point of the outer rail 52 and the lower part of the game board 30 is 445 mm (58 mm longer than the conventional product), and is from the extreme left position of the outer rail 52 to the extreme right position of the inner rail 51. The distance is 435 mm (50 mm longer than the conventional product). The distance from the extreme left position of the inner rail 51 to the extreme right position of the inner rail 51 is 418 mm.

  In addition, the 2nd starting port 34 located in the both sides of the variable display apparatus unit 35 has a guide mechanism in which the game ball which passed this 2nd starting port 34 is approached toward the center. Thereby, even when the game area is expanded in the left-right direction, the game ball can be guided toward the center first start port 33 and the variable prize-winning device 32. By expanding, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest due to difficulty in winning a game ball. Furthermore, by extending the game area in the left-right direction, various arrangements of the windmill 37, the second start port 34, a plurality of nails (guide nails for guiding the game ball to the center), and other accessories are arranged. The behavior of the game ball in the game areas on the left and right sides of the variable display device unit 35 can be made more interesting. In addition, since the game area is also expanded in the vertical direction, various windmills 37, second start ports 34, a plurality of nails, and other accessories can be further arranged in the vertical direction in the game area. The behavior of the game ball can be made even more interesting.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 3, in the resin base 20, below the window hole 21 (game board 30), a launch rail 61 for guiding the game ball immediately after being launched from the game ball launcher 38 is attached. ing. The firing rail 61 is fixedly attached to the resin base 20 via a metal plate 62 behind the firing rail 61, and is configured to extend linearly at a predetermined firing angle (launch angle). Accordingly, the game ball that is launched in accordance with the turning operation of the game ball launching handle 18 is first launched obliquely upward along the launch rail 61, and thereafter, into the predetermined game area through the ball guide path of the rail unit 50 as described above. Guided.

  In the case of this pachinko machine 10, the game area is greatly expanded as compared to the conventional case, and under such a configuration, the curvature of the guide rail has to be reduced, and thus a device for stabilizing the launch ball is required. . Therefore, in the present embodiment, the launch position of the game ball is lowered and the inclination angle (launch angle) of the launch rail 61 is made somewhat larger than that of the existing one (that is, the launch rail 61 is raised) to further launch. The length of the rail 61 is made longer than the existing one so as to ensure a sufficiently long ball guiding distance. Thereby, the game ball launched from the game ball launcher 38 can be guided to the guide rail in a more stable state. Particularly in this case, the launch rail 61 is formed so as to extend from the launch position of the game ball launcher 38 to a position beyond the center position (out port 36) of the game area.

  Further, there is a gap of a predetermined interval between the firing rail 61 and the rail unit 50 (guidance rail), and a foul ball passage 63 is formed below the gap. Therefore, if the game ball launched from the game ball launching device 38 does not reach the return ball prevention member 53 and returns to the inside of the guide rail as a foul ball, the foul ball passes through the foul ball passage 63 to the lower plate. 15 is discharged. Incidentally, in the case of the present embodiment, the length of the firing rail 61 is about 240 mm, and the length of the gap at the tip of the firing rail (the length on the extension line of the firing rail 61) is about 40 mm.

  When the foul spheres flow backward in the guide rail, most of them flow along the outer rail 52 and drop downward when reaching the lower end of the outer rail 52. However, some foul spheres fall inside the guide rail. There is also a thing that jumps to the inner rail 51 side. At this time, the splashed foul ball hits the convex portion 57 at the entrance of the ball guide passage and is guided to the foul ball passage 63. Thereby, all of the foul balls are surely guided to the foul ball passage 63. This suppresses interference between the foul ball and the next game ball to be launched.

  Although detailed disclosure of the drawings is omitted, game balls are supplied to the game ball launcher 38 one by one from the ball outlet on the front frame set 14 side (the ball outlet leading from the most downstream portion of the upper plate 19). . At this time, since the launch position of the game ball is lowered in the present embodiment, the drop from the exit of the ball on the front frame set 14 side to the launch position becomes large, but in the vicinity of the base end portion of the launch rail 61, its right side and Guide members 65 and 66 were installed on the front side. Thereby, the game ball supplied from the ball exit on the front frame set 14 side is always set at a predetermined launch position, and a stable launch operation can be realized. Further, the game ball launching device 38 is provided with a ball striking ball, and a game ball is launched with the rotation of the ball striking center around the shaft portion. Therefore, while aiming to reduce the weight of the hitting ball by changing the material to light metal such as aluminum and reducing the size of the shaft, the head portion of the hitting ball (on the side opposite to the shaft) is secured to ensure sufficient firing force. A weight is provided at the end. Thereby, sufficient and stable launch of the game ball can be realized. By providing the weight portion of the hitting ball projecting upward, it is possible to easily pick or hit the hitting ball, and it is easy to adjust the hitting strength of the hitting tip.

  In addition, the code | symbol 67 in FIG. 3 is the discharge port connected to the upper plate 19, and a game ball is discharged to the upper plate 19 through this discharge port 67. FIG. The discharge port 67 is provided with an openable / closable shutter 68 that is displaced between a substantially horizontal state and a substantially vertical state with a substantially horizontal rotation axis as an axis. In a state where the front frame set 14 is released from the inner frame 12 (the state shown in FIG. 3), the shutter 68 is changed from a substantially horizontal state to a substantially vertical state by an urging force of a spring or the like, so that the game ball does not fall out from the discharge port 67. The discharge port 67 is closed. When the front frame set 14 is closed, the shutter 68 is pushed open by a ball passage rod 69 (see FIG. 2) provided on the back surface of the front frame set 14 to be in a substantially horizontal state. The game ball discharged toward the direction passes through the ball passage ridge 69 and is discharged to the upper plate 19 without any leakage. Therefore, in this pachinko machine 10 in which the front decorative frame is omitted and the upper plate 19 is directly provided to the front frame set 14, the game balls inside the payout passage and the like are outside the pachinko machine 10 when the front frame set 14 is opened. Inconveniences such as spilling out can be prevented.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the resin base 20 is provided with a substantially rectangular small window 71 at the lower right portion of the window hole 21. Therefore, a sticker such as a stamp (S1 in FIG. 4) stretched at the lower right corner of the game board 30 can be seen through the small window 71. Further, a sticker or the like can be attached from the small window 71.

  As shown in FIG. 3, support brackets 81 and 82 are attached to the left end portion of the inner frame 12 as a support mechanism for the front frame set 14. The upper support fitting 81 is provided with a support hole 83 having a notch on the front side of the figure, and the lower support fitting 82 is provided with a protruding shaft 84 protruding in the vertical direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a front frame set open detection switch 90 that detects that the front frame set 14 is opened with respect to the inner frame 12 is provided above the inner frame 12. When the front frame set 14 is opened, it is output from the front frame set open detection switch 90 to the computer for the hall (in the pachinko parlor).

  The front frame set 14 is provided with light emitting means such as various lamps around it (for example, a corner portion). These light emitting means play a role of enhancing the effect of the game during the game by changing and controlling the light emission mode such as lighting and blinking according to the change of the game state at the time of big hit or predetermined reach. For example, on the periphery of the window portion 101, an annular illumination portion 102 containing a light emitting means such as an LED (light emitting diode) is provided symmetrically, and is located at the center of the annular illumination portion 102 and the outermost part of the pachinko machine 10. In the upper part, a central illumination part 103 is also provided, which also incorporates light emitting means such as LEDs. In the pachinko machine 10, the central illumination unit 103 functions as a jackpot lamp, and lights and blinks when the jackpot is informed that the jackpot is being hit. Further, the upper plate 19 is also provided around the upper plate 19 with an upper plate illumination unit 104 having a built-in light emitting means such as an LED. In addition, on the left and right sides of the central illumination unit 103, there are provided a prize ball lamp 105 that is lit during the payout of a prize ball and an error display lamp 106 that is lit when a predetermined error occurs. Further, a small window 107 made of a transparent resin is provided so as to be adjacent to the lower end portion of the annular illumination portion 102 so that a part of the inner frame 12 surface, the game board 30 surface, or the like can be visually recognized. Since the predetermined portion of the small window 107 is flat, the certificate paper or the like attached to the lower right corner of the game board 30 can be suitably read from the flat portion of the small window 107 by a machine.

  In addition, a ball lending operation unit 120 is disposed below the window unit 101, and the ball lending operation unit 120 is provided with a ball lending button 121, a return button 122, and a frequency display unit 123. When the ball lending operation unit 120 is operated with a bill or a card inserted in a card unit (ball lending unit) (not shown) arranged on the side of the pachinko machine 10, a game ball is lent according to the operation. Done. The ball lending button 121 is operated to obtain a lending ball based on information recorded on a card or the like (recording medium), and the lending ball is supplied to the upper plate 19 as long as there is a remaining amount on the card or the like. Is done. The return button 122 is operated when requesting the return of a card or the like inserted into the card unit. The frequency display unit 123 displays remaining amount information such as a card. It should be noted that the ball rental operation unit 120 is not necessary for a pachinko machine in which game balls are lent directly to the upper plate from a ball lending device or the like without using a card unit, that is, a so-called cash machine. Therefore, a decorative seal or the like is attached to the installation portion of the ball rental operation unit 120. Thereby, the common use of the lending operation unit of the pachinko machine using the card unit and the cash machine can be achieved.

  In addition, on the back surface of the game board 30, a winning detection mechanism for detecting the passage of game balls such as various winning holes is provided. Specifically, a prize opening switch (not shown) is provided at a position corresponding to the general prize opening 31 on the front side of the game board 30, and the variable prize winning device 32 is provided with a count switch (not shown). The count switch is a switch for counting winning balls. An operation port switch 224 is provided at a position corresponding to the first start port 33, and a gate switch (not shown) is provided at a position corresponding to the second start port 34. The operating port switch 224 described above corresponds to a winning detection means in the present invention.

  A prize opening switch (not shown) and a gate switch (not shown) are connected to a board relay board (not shown) through electrical wiring (not shown), and this board relay board (not shown) is a main board (main control device) to be described later. 261). Further, the count switch (not shown) is connected to a special winning opening relay board (not shown), and this special winning opening relay board (not shown) is also connected to the main board. On the other hand, the operation port switch 224 is directly connected to the main board without passing through the relay board.

  Although not shown in the drawings, the variable winning device 32 is provided with a large winning port solenoid for opening the large winning port 32a, and the first starting port 33 is an operating port for opening the electric accessory. A solenoid is provided.

  The detection results detected by the winning detection mechanism are taken into a main board, which will be described later, and a payout command (the number of game balls to be paid out) corresponding to the winning situation is transmitted from the main board to the payout control board. The Then, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out by the output of the payout control board. In such a case, a conventional method (so-called evidence ball method) in which game balls won in various winning openings are once collected in a winning ball processing device and paid out after the winning ball processing device confirms the presence of winning balls one by one in order. Unlike the above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the winning of a game ball is electrically detected for each winning opening and the payout is immediately made (that is, the winning ball processing apparatus is abolished in the pachinko machine 10). is doing). Therefore, even if there are a lot of game balls to be paid out, the payout can be carried out quickly. However, the conventional “evidence ball system” may be applied to the present invention.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10.

When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erase switch pressed (including power-on due to power failure cancellation), the data in the respective RAMs 503 and 613 are cleared in the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. .

  By the way, in the first symbol display device (liquid crystal display device) 42, as shown in FIG. 6, three symbol rows U, M, and D of upper, middle, and lower are set. For each D, three symbols (the first symbol: for example, a special symbol) of the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are variably displayed in the horizontal direction. In the present embodiment, a series of symbols is composed of a main symbol SZ made of a picture such as a marine life and a sub-design FZ made of a shell-shaped picture, each of which is given a number from “0” to “9”. The main symbols SZ are displayed in ascending numerical order, and the sub symbols FZ are arranged between the main symbols SZ to form a series of symbol rows U, M, and D. The main symbol SZ and the sub symbol FZ are variably displayed from right to left with periodicity.

  In such a case, in the upper symbol row U and the middle symbol row M, the series of symbols is displayed in ascending order (that is, in the order of increasing the number of the main symbol SZ), and in the lower symbol row D, the series of symbols is in descending order (that is, , In order of decreasing the number of the main symbol SZ). Then, based on the winning at the first starting port 33, a series of variable symbol U, M, D display is started, and the variable symbol is displayed in the order of upper symbol column U → lower symbol column D → middle symbol column M. Is stopped, and at the time of the stop, the main symbol SZ is displayed on any of the five effective lines on the first symbol display raid 42, that is, the left line L1, the middle line L2, the right line L3, the right rising line L4, or the left rising line L5. If a combination of jackpot symbols (in the present embodiment, the same main symbol SZ combination) is arranged, a specific game video (special game video) is displayed as a jackpot.

  Here, functions such as a big hit lottery performed by the main controller 261 will be described. The main control device 261 includes a lottery unit (not shown) for lottery of occurrence of a big hit state. That is, when the main control device 261 wins in the lottery unit (not shown), the display effect in which the variation display result of the first symbol on the first symbol display device 42 becomes a predetermined combination of symbols (big hit symbol). And having a function of generating a big hit state after the big hit display. In short, the main control device 261, for example, the value (first random number) of the jackpot random number counter C1 (first random number group for determining whether or not to enter the special gaming state) that can take a value of "0 to 676" The special gaming state is generated based on the above.

  Specifically, the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 has a first random number generation unit (first random number group generation function) (not shown) that generates a jackpot random number counter C1. Further, the main control device 261 stores an area for storing the value of the big hit random number counter C1 in the reserved ball storage area of the RAM 503 every time a game ball wins the first start port 33 (a first random number storage (not shown)). Part). Further, the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 determines whether or not the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the reserved ball storage area (first random number storage unit not shown) is a win value. 1 determination unit (determination function) is also included.

  That is, the value (first random number) of the big hit random number counter C1 in the first random number generator (not shown) at the timing of detecting the winning of the game ball by the operation port switch 224 provided in the first start port 33. It is stored in a reserved ball storage area (a first random number storage unit not shown) of the RAM 503. When the probability is low, the first determination unit (not shown) determines that the value of the big hit random number counter C1 (first random number) stored in the first random number storage unit (not shown) is two values “337, If it is “673”, it is determined that it is a big hit, otherwise it is determined that it is off. When the probability is high (also referred to as probability variation), the first determination unit (not shown) uses the value (first random number) of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the first random number storage unit (not shown). Ten values “67, 131, 199, 289, 337, 401, 463, 523, 601, 661” are determined to be big hits, otherwise they are determined to be off. The first random number generation unit (not shown) and the first determination unit (not shown) described above are realized by causing the CPU 501 to execute a predetermined program.

  When the CPU 501 determines that the value of the big hit random number counter C1 is a win value, the main control device 261 outputs a signal for setting the special gaming state to the variable winning device 32. Based on the instruction from the main controller 261, the variable winning device 32 executes a jackpot operation in which the game ball is repeatedly operated in an open state and a normal closed state where the game ball is easy to win.

  Next, the structure of the further characteristic part of the pachinko machine 10 of a present Example is demonstrated using FIG. 7, FIG. FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a configuration of a main part of the game board 30 according to the first embodiment.

That is, the front surface side of the cell sheet 410 has a transparent adhesive layer over the entire surface thereof, so that the front surface side of the cell sheet 410 can be adhered and adhered to the back surface side of the transparent resin plate 400. It has become. The cell sheet 410 has a thickness of, for example, 1 mm (millimeter). Note that a transparent adhesive layer may be provided on the back surface side of the transparent resin plate 400 instead of the front surface side of the cell sheet 410. Moreover, you may make it employ | adopt the thickness of the cell sheet 410 as 1 mm or less.

  The density of the veneer plate 420 is lower than that of the transparent resin plate 400. For example, when the transparent resin plate 400 is formed of polycarbonate resin, the specific gravity of the transparent resin plate 400 (polycarbonate resin plate) is “1.2”. On the other hand, the specific gravity of the plywood plate 420 is “0.63 to 0.80”.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the plywood plate 420 have the same outer shape when viewed from the front. The size may be smaller than the outer peripheral shape of the veneer plate 420 when viewed from the front.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, an opening 402 having an opening diameter larger than the diameter of the nail 430 shown in FIG. The opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 only needs to have an opening diameter larger than the diameter of the trunk of the nail 430. For example, the opening 402 of the first embodiment is 1 mm (mm) larger than the trunk of the nail 430. A circular opening is used. As the opening 402, for example, a circular opening that is 1 mm to 0.1 mm larger than the body of the nail 430 may be employed.

  In FIG. 7, since it is difficult to see all the openings 402 of the transparent resin plate 400, reference numerals are given only to some of the openings 402 of the transparent resin plate 400.

  As shown in FIG. 8C, the nail 430 is in contact with the opening 402 through the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 in a state where the transparent resin plate 400 is superimposed on the front surface side of the plywood plate 420. It is nailed to the plywood plate 420.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the transparent resin plate 400 is provided with fitting pins 404 (protrusions) that are fitted into the fitting holes 422 of the plywood plate 420 at two locations on the upper left and lower right. The veneer plate 420 is provided with fitting holes 422 into which the fitting pins 404 (protrusions) of the transparent resin plate 400 are fitted at two locations on the upper left and lower right, and the fitting pins 404 of the transparent resin plate 400 are provided. Is inserted into the fitting hole 422 of the plywood plate 420, so that the plywood plate 420 and the transparent resin plate 400 can be properly overlapped with each other. Furthermore, fitting holes 412 into which fitting pins 404 (protrusions) of the transparent resin plate 400 are fitted are provided at two locations on the upper left and lower right of the cell sheet 410. By fitting the pins 404 into the fitting holes 412 of the cell sheet 410, the cell sheet 410 and the transparent resin plate 400 can be properly overlapped and can be attached by the above-described adhesive layer. Yes.

  The above-described veneer plate 420 corresponds to a plate-like member in the present invention, the above-described transparent resin plate 400 corresponds to a thin-plate member in the present invention, and the above-described cell sheet 410 corresponds to a decorative display portion in the present invention.

  Here, the manufacturing process of the principal part of the game board 30 of Example 1 is demonstrated using FIG. 7, FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8A, the cell sheet 410 and the transparent resin plate 400 are appropriately overlapped by fitting the fitting pins 404 of the transparent resin plate 400 into the fitting holes 412 of the cell sheet 410. Then, the cell sheet 410 is attached to the transparent resin plate 400 by the adhesive layer of the cell sheet 410.

  Subsequently, the transparent resin plate 400 with the cell sheet 410 attached is overlapped with the veneer plate 420 so that the fitting pins 404 of the transparent resin plate 400 with the cell sheet 410 attached are fitted into the fitting holes 422 of the veneer plate 420. Match. The transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420 with the cell sheet 410 attached are fastened and fixed with screws. Moreover, you may make it fix both other than screwing fastening fastening. For example, the transparent resin plate 400 to which the cell sheet 410 is attached and the plywood plate 420 may be fastened with screws, or the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420 may be bonded and fixed with an adhesive.

  Thus, the veneer plate 420 on which the transparent resin plate 400 is superposed and fixed is placed at a predetermined position such that the back side thereof abuts on a table (table) of a nailing machine (not shown). Specifically, for example, two bosses (projection pins) for positioning the plywood plate 420 arranged at intervals on the mounting table surface of the nailing machine are arranged at two positions on the plywood plate 420 corresponding to the boss. A plywood plate 420 on which the transparent resin plate 400 is overlaid and fixed is placed on the mounting table of the nailing machine so as to be fitted into the alignment hole.

  The nailing machine has in advance data as to which part of the plywood plate 420 the nail 430 is to be struck, so that the nail 430 can be struck sequentially to a predetermined part of the plywood plate 420. In other words, the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 is provided corresponding to the place where the nail 430 is hit on the plywood plate 420, and as shown in FIG. The nail 430 by the nailing machine enters toward the side, and is struck against the plywood plate 420 without contact with the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 as shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 8C, the nail 430 is fixed (supported) only on the plywood plate 420 because it is struck against the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 in a non-contact manner. In the first embodiment, the body of the nail 430 is not in contact with the opening 402. However, even if the body of the nail 430 is in contact with the opening 402, the nail 430 is removed when sorting and discarding. There is no problem of difficulty.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the game board 30 having the game area into which the game ball is driven has the nail 430 for changing the behavior of the game ball flowing down the game area on the front surface. A veneer plate 420 that can be fixed to the side, and a light-transmissive transparent resin plate 400 that is superimposed on the plywood plate 420 so as to cover the game area of the plywood plate 420 on the front side of the plywood plate 420. The veneer plate 420 has a density lower than that of the transparent resin plate 400, and an opening portion having an opening diameter larger than the diameter of the nail 430 is provided at a predetermined position in the front view state of the transparent resin plate 400. 402, and the nail 430 is attached to the veneer plate 420 through the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 in a state where the transparent resin plate 400 is superimposed on the front surface side of the veneer plate 420. Since the nail 430 is attached to the plywood plate 420 through the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 (the opening having an opening diameter larger than the diameter of the nail 430), the nail 430 is attached to the transparent resin plate 400. The nail 430 is not struck in a bent state on the transparent resin plate 400. Therefore, when the game board 30 is discarded or disassembled, the nails 430 of the game board are pulled out and disposed of separately, so that there is no problem that it is difficult to remove the nails 430 that are struck in the bent state on the transparent resin plate 400. The work efficiency can be improved, and the efficiency of the disposal / disassembly work of the game board 30 can be improved.

  Further, the nail 430 is struck not on the transparent resin plate 400 but on the plywood plate 420, that is, the nail 430 can be driven and fixed, and the nail 430 is struck on the plywood plate 420 having a lower density than the transparent resin plate 400. Therefore, as compared with the game board in which the nail 430 is hit against the transparent resin plate 400 as in the conventional example, the game ball hit into the game area hits the nail 430 hit against the veneer plate 420 and jumps. Further, it is possible to reduce the strength of the jumping, to moderate the jumping of the game ball that has collided with the nail 430, and to ensure the fun of the rolling mode of the game ball.

  In addition, in the case of a game board in which the nail 430 is fixed only to the transparent resin plate 400 as in the conventional example, there is little variation in how the game ball jumps from the nail 430 of the transparent resin plate 400, which is surprising. There is a problem that the rolling mode is small and the rolling mode of the game ball is not interesting. On the other hand, in the game board 30 of the first embodiment, as described above, the nail 430 is struck against the plywood plate 420 instead of the transparent resin plate 400, so that it is appropriate for the method of jumping the game ball from the nail 430 of the plywood plate 420. Variation, that is, the variation can be increased as compared with the case of the nail 430 of the transparent resin plate 400, an unexpected rolling mode can be realized, and the rolling mode of the game ball It is possible to improve the interest.

  As a result, in a pachinko machine (game machine) having a light-transmitting transparent resin plate 400 (for example, a transparent board) on the front side of the game board, it is possible to improve nail extraction work efficiency, and the rolling aspect of the game ball is interesting. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine (game machine) that can improve the performance.

  Further, between the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420, a display portion for displaying the model name of the pachinko machine 10 as a display for representing the gaming machine, and a feature (or individuality) of the model for decorating the gaming area. ) Is provided with the cell sheet 410 on which the display portion to be decorated is drawn (printed), so that the game ball flows down on the front side of the transparent resin plate 400 and the transparent resin plate 400 on the opposite side thereof. The cell sheet 410 is positioned on the back side of the transparent resin plate 400, and the cell sheet 410 provided on the back side of the transparent resin plate 400 is not contacted with the game ball, and the cell sheet 410 can be protected. .

  The cell sheet 410 is separate from the transparent resin plate 400 and the veneer plate 420, and is attached to the back side of the transparent resin plate 400 so as to be visible from the front side of the transparent resin plate 400. And the cell sheet 410 are in close contact with each other, and are excellent in the following points. That is, by simply aligning the cell sheet 410 with the back surface side of the transparent resin plate 400, at least a part of the cell sheet 410 is separated from the back surface side of the transparent resin plate 400, and the cell sheet is placed on the back surface side of the transparent resin plate 400. In this case, when the game board 30 is viewed from the front, the display of the separated portion is blurred (the light to the transparent resin plate 400 is separated by the separated portion and the close contact portion of the cell sheet 410). However, according to the present embodiment, such a problem can be solved. That is, the transparent resin plate 400 and the cell sheet 410 are in close contact with each other, and there is no portion where the cell sheet 410 is separated on the back surface side of the transparent resin plate 400. Therefore, the display blur of the separated portion as described above does not occur. .

  Moreover, since the transparent resin plate 400 is a transparent thin plate-like member made of a transparent resin, a transparent thin plate-like member can be suitably manufactured by using the transparent resin.

  Further, as described above, since the diameter of the opening 402 (nail hole) of the transparent resin plate 400 is larger than the diameter of the trunk of the nail 430, there is a deviation between the opening 402 and the nail 430 driving position. Even if it occurs, it can be reduced that the nail 430 is bent and driven. More specifically, the size of the opening 402 is set so as to satisfy the relationship of [{(diameter of the opening 402) − (diameter of the body of the nail 430)} <radius of the game ball]. Accordingly, the opening 402 can be prevented from affecting the rolling of the game ball.

  Further, the diameter of the nail head of the nail 430 may be set larger than that of the opening 402. In this case, the opening 402 can be hidden from the nail head of the nail 430 in a front view so as not to stand out.

  Next, the pachinko machine 10 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIGS. 9A to 9C are diagrams showing manufacturing steps of the game board 30 of the second embodiment.

  In the gaming board 30 in the first embodiment, a gap is still formed between the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 and the nail 430, but the gaming board 30 in the second embodiment is The point that the gap between the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 and the nail 430 is filled with a rubber clearance covering member 432 is different from the first embodiment. The description of the same contents as in the first embodiment will be omitted, and the clearance covering member 432 and the like will be described in detail below.

  As shown in FIG. 9C, a gap between the nail 430 and the opening 402 is filled between the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 and the nail 430 positioned in the opening 402. A rubber clearance covering member 432 is provided.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9B, the rubber clearance covering member 432 is fixed (for example, adhesively fixed) around the trunk of the trunk of the nail 430, as shown in FIG. As shown in c), when the nail 430 with the rubber clearance covering member 432 is struck against the plywood plate 420, the clearance covering member 432 is accommodated in the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400.

  That is, since the driving force of the nail 430 by the nail driver is constant and the density distribution of the plywood plate 420 is uniform, the driving depth of the nail 430 by the nail driver has an accuracy that becomes a constant depth. 9C, when the nail 430 with the rubber clearance covering member 432 is struck against the plywood plate 420, the clearance covering member 432 is formed in the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400. A clearance covering member 432 is fixed around the trunk of the trunk of the nail 430 so as to fit.

  In Example 2, as shown in FIG. 9C, the clearance covering member 432 is accommodated in the opening 402 so as not to protrude from the opening 402 when the transparent resin plate 400 is viewed from the side. However, if the behavior of the game ball is not adversely affected, the clearance covering member 432 may be allowed to protrude somewhat from the opening 402 in a state where the transparent resin plate 400 is viewed from the side.

  Further, in a state where the clearance covering member 432 attached to the nail 430 is viewed from the side, the clearance covering member 432 is tapered or chamfered so that the diameter on the nail tip side is smaller than the diameter on the nail head side, and the clearance covering is performed. The member 432 may easily enter the opening 402.

  The clearance covering member 432 described above corresponds to the elastic member in the present invention.

  Here, the manufacturing process of the principal part of the game board 30 of Example 2 is demonstrated using FIG.

  Since the process until the transparent resin plate 400 with the cell sheet 410 attached is overlapped and fixed on the plywood plate 420 (see FIG. 9A) is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description is omitted here. FIG. 9B and subsequent figures will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, the veneer plate 420, on which the transparent resin plate 400 is overlaid and fixed, is placed at a predetermined position on the placing table (table) of the nail driver as in the first embodiment.

  The nailing machine according to the second embodiment has a structure in which a nail 430 with a rubber clearance covering member 432 can be driven against the plywood plate 420. It is previously stored as data whether the nail 430 is to be struck at a location, and the nail 430 can be sequentially struck at a predetermined location on the plywood plate 420. In other words, the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 is provided corresponding to the place where the nail 430 is hit on the plywood plate 420, and as shown in FIG. The nail 430 by the nail driving machine enters toward this side, and the nail 430 is struck against the plywood plate 420 without contact with the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 as shown in FIG. 9C. That is, as shown in FIG. 9C, the nail 430 is struck against the plywood plate 420 without contact with the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400 and fixed around the trunk of the nail 430. Is in contact with the opening 402, the nail 430 is fixed (supported) only by the plywood plate 420.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the second embodiment, the clearance covering member 432 for filling the space between the nail 430 and the opening 402 is provided between the nail 430 and the opening 402. Therefore, dust, debris, and the like can be prevented from entering the gap between the nail 430 and the opening 402. Moreover, since the fixing force of the nail 430 by the clearance covering member 432 is almost smaller than that when the nail 430 is struck against the transparent resin plate 400, the fixing force of the nail 430 is still due to the plywood plate 420, As in the first embodiment described above, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can improve the nail extraction work efficiency and can improve the fun of the rolling mode of the game ball.

  Further, since the clearance covering member 432 is provided around the trunk of the nail 430 at a predetermined position, only the nail 430 with the clearance covering member 432 is driven against the plywood plate 420 through the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400. Thus, the nail 430 can be driven against the plywood plate 420, and the clearance covering member 432 provided around the trunk of the nail 430 can be positioned at the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400. With this clearance covering member 432, A gap between the nail 430 and the opening 402 can be filled, and dust and debris can be prevented from entering the gap between the nail 430 and the opening 402. Moreover, since the fixing force of the nail 430 by the clearance covering member 432 is almost smaller than that when the nail 430 is struck against the transparent resin plate 400, the fixing force of the nail 430 is still due to the plywood plate 420, As in the first embodiment described above, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can improve the nail extraction work efficiency and can improve the fun of the rolling mode of the game ball.

  Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a configuration of a main part of the game board 30 according to the third embodiment. FIGS. 11A to 11C are diagrams illustrating manufacturing steps of the game board 30 according to the third embodiment. FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a nail driving state of the game board 30 according to the third embodiment.

  In the gaming board 30 of the first embodiment, the transparent resin plate 400 is provided with an opening 402 (an opening larger than the periphery of the nail 430), and the nail 430 is inserted into the veneer plate 420 through the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400. However, in the game board 30 of the third embodiment, the nail 430 is placed with a weight on the plywood plate 420 rather than the transparent resin plate 400. This is different from the first embodiment. The description of the same contents as those of the first embodiment will be omitted, and the point that the nail 430 is struck with a weight on the plywood plate 420 rather than the transparent resin plate 400 will be described in detail below.

  As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, a passage hole 406 (through hole) is formed at a location where the nail 430 of the transparent resin plate 400 of Example 3 is hit, and as shown in FIG. The passage hole 406 has a diameter r2 smaller than the diameter r1 of the trunk of the nail 430.

  In addition, in FIG. 10, since it will become difficult to see if the code | symbol is attached | subjected to all the passage holes 406 of the transparent resin board 400, only the code | symbol is attached | subjected only to the one part road hole 406 of the transparent resin board 400.

  As shown in FIG. 11C, the nail 430 penetrates the transparent resin plate 400 from the transparent resin plate 400 to the veneer plate 420 in a state where the transparent resin plate 400 is superimposed on the front side of the plywood plate 420. The nail 430 in the struck state is in contact with the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the thickness of the transparent resin plate 400 is, for example, 5 mm (millimeters), the thickness of the cell sheet 410 is, for example, 1 mm, and the thickness of the plywood plate 420 is, for example, 15 mm. Further, the total length of the nail 430 is 32 mm, and the driving length of the nail 430 with respect to the plywood plate 420 (distance from the nail tip to the front surface of the plywood plate 420 with the nail 430 body) is, for example, 11 mm. The distance from the nail head to the front surface of the transparent resin plate 400 with the nail 430 is 15 mm, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the transparent resin plate 400 has a thickness smaller than the length of the nail 430 driven into the plywood plate 420. That is, the thickness of the transparent resin plate 400 is, for example, 5 mm, and the penetration length of the nail 430 with respect to the plywood plate 420 (the distance from the nail tip to the front surface of the plywood plate 420 with the nail 430 body) is, for example, 11 mm. It can be seen that the thickness (5 mm) is smaller than the length (11 mm) of the nail 430 driven into the plywood plate 420.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, it can be said that the contact surface area of the nail 430 with respect to the transparent resin plate 400 is smaller than the contact surface area of the same nail 430 with respect to the plywood plate 420.

  Here, the manufacturing process of the principal part of the game board 30 of Example 3 is demonstrated using FIG.

  Note that the process until the transparent resin plate 400 with the cell sheet 410 attached is overlapped and fixed on the plywood plate 420 (see FIG. 11A) is the same as in the first embodiment, and the description is omitted here. FIG. 11B and subsequent figures will be described. As shown in FIG. 11A, the transparent resin plate 400 has the above-described passage hole 406 formed therein.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (b), the veneer plate 420 on which the transparent resin plate 400 is overlaid and fixed is placed at a predetermined position on a placing table (table) of the nailing machine as in the first embodiment.

  As in the first embodiment, the nail driving machine according to the third embodiment has in advance data as to which part of the plywood plate 420 the nail 430 is to be struck. The nail 430 is sequentially placed at a predetermined part of the plywood board 420. It is possible to hit it. That is, the passage hole 406 of the transparent resin plate 400 is provided corresponding to the place where the nail 430 is driven on the plywood plate 420, and the passage hole 406 of the transparent resin plate 400 is provided in the passage hole 406 of the transparent resin plate 400 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 11C, the nail 430 entering the passage hole 406 of the transparent resin plate 400 is driven into the plywood plate 420 with a penetration depth of 11 mm (mm). That is, as shown in FIG. 11C, the nail 430 contacts the passage hole 406 of the transparent resin plate 400 over a depth of 5 mm (mm) and is driven into the plywood plate 420 with a penetration depth of 11 mm (mm). Therefore, the ratio of fixing (supporting) the nail 430 on the plywood plate 420 is higher than that of the transparent resin plate 400.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the third embodiment, the game board 30 having the game area into which the game ball is driven has the nail 430 for changing the behavior of the game ball flowing down the game area on the front surface. A veneer plate 420 that can be fixed to the side, and a light-transmissive transparent resin plate 400 that is superimposed on the veneer plate 420 so as to cover the game area of the veneer plate 420 on the front side of the veneer plate 420. The density of the veneer plate 420 is lower than that of the transparent resin plate 400, and the nail 430 has the transparent resin plate 400 superimposed on the front side of the veneer plate 420. And penetrates the transparent resin plate 400 and is struck to the plywood plate 420. The nail 430 in the struck state is the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate. 20, the transparent resin plate 400 has a thickness smaller than the length of the nail 430 driven into the plywood plate 420, so that the contact surface area of the nail 430 with respect to the transparent resin plate 400 is the same as that of the same nail 430. The surface area of contact with the plywood plate 420 can be made smaller, the ratio of supporting the nail 430 can be made larger on the plywood plate 420 than the transparent resin plate 400, and the passage hole 406 of the transparent resin plate 400 (rather than the diameter of the nail 430). Even if the nail 430 is struck out of the center of the small-diameter road hole, the bending slash can be reduced. Therefore, when the game board nail 430 is pulled out and disposed of at the time of disposal / disassembly of the game board, it is possible to reduce the problem that it is difficult to remove the nail 430 which is struck in a bent state on the transparent resin plate 400. Therefore, the efficiency of the nail extraction work can be improved, and the efficiency of the disposal / disassembly work of the game board can be improved.

  Further, the nail 430 is struck with a weight toward the plywood plate 420 rather than the transparent resin plate 400, that is, the nail 430 can be driven and fixed, and the plywood 420 with a lower density than the transparent resin plate 400 is weighted. Since the nail 430 is nailed, the game ball that has been nailed into the game area is compared to the case where the nail 430 is nailed to the transparent resin plate 400 as in the conventional example. The nail 430 hit against the nail 430 is bounced and the way it bounces can be reduced, the bounce of the game ball colliding with the nail 430 can be moderately settled, and the rolling aspect of the game ball is secured. it can.

  In addition, in the case of a game board in which the nail 430 is fixed only to the transparent resin plate 400 as in the conventional example, there is little variation in how the game ball jumps from the nail 430 of the transparent resin plate 400, which is surprising. There is a problem that the rolling mode is small and the rolling mode of the game ball is not interesting. On the other hand, in the game board 30 of the third embodiment, as described above, the nail 430 is placed with a weight placed on the plywood plate 420 rather than the transparent resin plate 400, so that it is supported only by the transparent resin plate 400. Compared to the case of the nail 430, variations in the way the game balls bounce can be increased, an unexpected rolling mode can be realized, and the gaming ball rolling mode can be improved.

  As a result, in a gaming machine having a light transmissive transparent resin plate 400 (for example, a transparent plate) on the front side of the game board 30, it is possible to improve the nail extraction work efficiency and improve the fun of the rolling mode of the game ball. It is possible to provide a gaming machine that can be used.

  Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing an end configuration of the transparent resin plate 400 of the game board 30 according to the fourth embodiment.

  The game board 30 according to the fourth embodiment is different from the first to third embodiments in that the transparent resin plate 400 is used as the light guide plate 408. In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the content similar to the above-mentioned Examples 1-3, and the point which uses the transparent resin plate 400 as the light-guide plate 408 below is demonstrated in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the transparent resin plate 400 is a light guide plate 408 for causing surface emission with light introduced from the side end face. The light guide plate 408 has an LED 440 (light emitting diode) and a support member that supports the mounting substrate on which the LED 440 is mounted so that light from the LED 440 is incident from the side end surface of the light guide plate 408 at the end of one side surface. 442. The support member 442 has a reflector structure whose inner surface reflects light. In addition, you may make it provide a reflector separately from the support member 442, and may employ | adopt various light sources, such as lamps other than LED.

  The LED 440 in the fourth embodiment is a multi-color light emitting LED capable of emitting a plurality of colors. For example, LEDs and various light sources capable of emitting a plurality of colors, such as a two-color (for example, red, green) type, a three-color (for example, red, green, blue) type, or a four- or more-color type. May be adopted. Moreover, although the thing of multi-color light emission is employ | adopted in Example 4, you may make it employ | adopt single color light emission type LED (light source).

  The LED 440 described above corresponds to the light source in the present invention.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the fourth embodiment, the transparent resin plate 400 serves as the light guide plate 408 for causing surface emission with light inserted from the side end face thereof, and the support member 442 is provided from the LED 440. Since the LED 440 is supported so that light is incident from the side end face of the light guide plate 408, the transparent resin plate 400 emits light, that is, realizes an original and innovative game board 30 in which light is emitted over the entire game area. Can improve the fun of the game.

  Further, since the LED 440 is a multi-color LED capable of emitting a plurality of colors, the transparent resin plate 400 emits a surface with a plurality of colors, that is, the original that the surface of the game area is emitted with a plurality of colors. Thus, it is possible to realize a novel game board 30 and to further enhance the fun of the game.

  Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14A is a cross-sectional view showing an end configuration of the game board 30 of the fifth embodiment, and FIG. 14B is a schematic front view of the game board 30 of the fifth embodiment.

  The gaming board 30 of the fifth embodiment is different from the fourth embodiment in that a light reflecting sheet 500 is added between the light guide plate 408 and the cell sheet 410 in the gaming board 30 of the fourth embodiment. Is different. In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the content similar to the above-mentioned Examples 1-4, and suppose that the light reflection sheet 500 etc. between the light-guide plate 408 and the cell sheet 410 are demonstrated in detail below.

  For example, a transparent sheet is used as the light reflecting sheet 500 shown in FIG. That is, the light reflecting sheet 500 is transparent so that the front surface of the cell sheet 410 is visible.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the fifth embodiment, the light reflection sheet 500 that reflects light toward the light guide plate 408 is provided between the light guide plate 408 and the plywood plate 420. Generation of shadows extending from the nail 430 or the opening 402 inside the light plate 408 can be reduced. That is, it is conceivable that a shadow of the nail 430 or the opening 402 is generated on the opposite side of the light guide plate 408 from the side on which the light from the nail 430 or the opening 402 shines. Reflected light can also be supplied to the shadow side of the nail 430 or the opening 402, and the occurrence of shadows can be reduced.

  In addition, since the light guide plate 408 includes a light reflection sheet 500 that reflects light toward the light guide plate 408 on the outer surface thereof, the light reflection sheet 500 is only between the light guide plate 408 and the veneer plate 420. In addition, the light guide plate 408 is also provided on the outer surface of the light guide plate 408 so that light can be reflected toward the light guide plate 408, and the occurrence of shadows extending from the nail 430 or the opening 402 inside the light guide plate 408 can be further reduced.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, the LED 440 and the support member 442 are provided at the right end in the front view of the game board 30 (the right end in the front view of the light guide plate 408), but the upper end, the left end, the right end, You may make it provide in at least 1 place of a lower end.

  In the fifth embodiment, the light reflecting sheet 500 is provided between the light guide plate 408 and the plywood plate 420, but a light reflecting layer is formed on the back surface side of the transparent resin plate 400 or the front surface side of the cell sheet 410. Also good. For example, mirror processing of the front side of the cell sheet 410 may be employed. Further, the light reflection sheet 500 may be attached to the front surface side of the plywood plate 420 instead of being attached to the back surface side of the transparent resin plate 400.

  In the fifth embodiment, the light reflecting sheet 500 is transparent, but a translucent or opaque sheet may be adopted.

  Further, a light reflecting surface is formed at a location corresponding to the outer surface of the game board 30 in the inner frame 12 (for example, a location corresponding to at least the outer surface of the light guide plate 408 among the outer surfaces of the game board 30). It may be. In this case, the light reflection surface of the inner frame 12 can be used even if the game board 30 is replaced (so-called plate replacement).

  Further, a light diffusion sheet or a light diffusion layer is provided on the front side or the back side of the light guide plate 408, or a light collecting sheet is provided on the front side of the light guide plate 408, or these (light diffusion sheet and light collecting sheet) are stacked. You may use together.

  Further, not only simple light emission of the light guide plate 408 (light emission of the light guide plate 408 uniformly in a planar shape) but also a predetermined pattern or character formed on the light guide plate 408 may be displayed by light emission. . As this configuration, the front side or the back side of the light guide plate 408 is subjected to unevenness processing (for example, micro lens processing) in the thickness direction so that a predetermined pattern or character shape is obtained in front view. . Specifically, a method of forming a concave portion having a pattern shape or a character shape by a method such as laser processing or etching on the front surface side or the back surface side of the light guide plate 408, a method of printing diffusion dots or the like on the light guide plate 408, or the like. Can be mentioned. Moreover, the method of forming the recessed part of the shape of a pattern or a character by processing the diffusion sheet mentioned above, the method of printing a diffusion dot etc. on the above-mentioned light reflection sheet 500, etc. are mentioned.

  Further, by providing light emitting portions (light sources: LEDs 440) at all locations on the outer side of the light guide plate 408 or on both sides of the outer side, shadows of the nail 430 and the opening 402 inside the light guide plate 408 are obtained. It does not occur or can be reduced.

  Next, a pachinko machine 10 according to a sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. FIG. 15 is an exploded perspective view schematically showing a main part of the game board 30 according to the sixth embodiment. 16A is a schematic cross-sectional view of the main part of the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the plywood plate 420 before temporary fixing, and FIG. 16B is a schematic cross-sectional view of the main part after temporary fixing. 16 (c) is a schematic perspective view of the temporary fixing member 506.

The point which is set as a structure differs from the above-mentioned Examples 1-5. In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the content similar to the above-mentioned Examples 1-5, and suppose that the temporary fixing holes 502a-502c, the temporary fixing member 506, etc. are demonstrated in detail below.

<Positioning and temporary fixing of transparent resin plate 400 and plywood plate 420>
As shown in FIG. 15, the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the veneer plate 420 are arranged at a total of three locations, that is, an upper right portion, a lower right portion, and a lower left portion in a front view. Temporary fastening holes 502a to 502c are formed for positioning and temporarily fastening the two. That is, as shown in FIG. 15, temporary fastening holes 502 a are formed in the transparent resin plate 400 in a total of three locations, that is, an upper right portion, a lower right portion, and a lower left portion in a front view. As shown in FIG. 15, temporary fastening holes 502 b are formed in a total of three locations, an upper right portion, a lower right portion, and a lower left portion in front view, and the plywood plate 420 has an upper right portion and a lower right portion in front view, as shown in FIG. 15. In addition, temporary fixing holes 502c are formed in a total of three places in the lower left part.

  The temporary fixing holes 502c of the plywood plate 420 have a concentric two-stage hole structure. That is, the temporary fixing hole 502 c of the plywood plate 420 has a first hole 503 formed on the front side of the plywood plate 420 and a second hole formed on the back side of the plywood plate 420 having a larger hole diameter (diameter) than the first hole 503. The hole 504 is a hole communicated concentrically. Further, the temporary fixing holes 502 a of the transparent resin plate 400 and the temporary fixing holes 502 b of the cell sheet 410 have the same diameter as the first hole 503 of the plywood plate 420.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the temporary fastening member 506 is a fixture (fastener) for fixing (fastening) the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the veneer plate 420 in an overlapped state. As shown in FIG. 16A, the temporary fixing member 506 includes a disk-shaped head 507 and a cylindrical protruding rod portion 508 that protrudes from the back surface of the head 507 and is smaller than the diameter of the head 507.

The protruding bar portion 508 is formed with a plurality of (for example, four in this embodiment) notch grooves 508a formed along the protruding direction at predetermined intervals around the cylinder. When this projecting rod portion 508 is viewed from the tip side, it can be seen that cutout grooves 508a are formed at four locations on the top, bottom, left and right of the hollow circle. Thus, when a force is applied to the inside of the cylinder from the outside, the protruding bar 508 itself can be elastically deformed to the inside of the cylinder. The locking claw 509 has a hollow truncated cone shape that spreads from the tip of the protruding rod portion 508 toward the disc-shaped head portion 507.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (a), the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the temporary fastening holes 502a to 502c of the plywood plate 420 are aligned, and as shown in FIG. With the cell sheet 410 and the plywood plate 420 overlapped, the temporary fixing member 506 is inserted into the temporary fixing holes 502 a to 502 c from the front side of the transparent resin plate 400.

  As shown in FIG. 16B, the temporary fastening member 506 does not protrude from the back surface of the plywood plate 420. In other words, the temporary fixing member 506 is in a position where the tip is recessed from the back surface of the plywood plate 420. The tip of the temporary fixing member 506 may be flush with the back surface of the plywood plate 420 (no step).

  In the sixth embodiment, the temporary fixing member 506 having the above-described shape is employed, but the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the veneer plate 420 are overlapped even if the temporary fixing member 506 has a shape other than the temporary fixing member 506. It is also possible to adopt a fixing tool (fastener) that is fixed (fastened) in a state where it is in contact. Further, the temporary fixing holes 502c of the plywood plate 420 have a concentric two-stage hole structure, but a simple through hole without a step may be adopted.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 17, the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the plywood plate 420 are nail for planting nails on the game board 30 in a total of two locations, an upper left portion and a lower right portion in front view. Positioning holes 514a to 514c (working holes) for fitting with positioning pins 510 (positioning bosses) of the mounting table 513 (table) of the hammering machine are formed.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the positioning hole 514 a of the transparent resin plate 400 is smaller than the positioning hole 514 c of the plywood plate 420. In addition, positioning holes 514b are also formed in similar portions of the cell sheet 410. The cell sheet 410 may have a size within a range (excluding the range) that does not include the positioning hole 514c of the plywood plate 420, so that it is not necessary to form the positioning hole 514b in the cell sheet 410.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the positioning pin 510 of the nailing machine has a first pin portion 511 that fits with the positioning hole 514a of the transparent resin plate 400 on the tip side, and a diameter larger than that of the first pin portion 511. The positioning hole 514c of the plywood plate 420 and the second pin portion 512 that is loosely fitted have a concentric shape.

  The positioning pin 510 corresponds to the positioning member in the present invention, and the positioning holes 514a to 514c (particularly the positioning hole 514a) correspond to the positioning fitting member in the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the positioning holes 514 a to 514 c of the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the plywood plate 420 in the temporarily fixed state, more precisely, the positioning holes 514 a of the transparent resin plate 400 are placed on the mounting table 513 (table) of the nailing machine. The positioning pins 510 are fitted and placed. Then, as will be described later, nails 430 are sequentially planted from a front surface side of the transparent resin plate 400 to a predetermined position of the transparent resin plate 400 by a nailing machine.

  As described above, the positioning hole 514a (working hole) of the transparent resin plate 400 is fitted with the positioning pin 510 (positioning boss) of the mounting table 513 (table) of the nailing machine, whereby the positioning hole 514a of the transparent resin plate 400 is fitted.

<Fixing of transparent resin plate 400 and plywood plate 420 (fixed fastening)>
As described above, the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420 are temporarily fixed by the temporary fixing member 506 and have not yet been fixed. Hereinafter, the fixing (main fastening fixing) between the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420 will be described. As will be described in detail below, the types of fixing (fixed fastening) between the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420 are (1) fixed fastening with a nail 430, and (2) by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52. Fixed fastening and (3) fixed fastening by game parts (for example, the second start port 34), etc. are mentioned, and fixed fastening is realized by one or a combination of these. Has been.

(1) Final fastening with nail 430 For example, as in the above-described third embodiment, this nail 430 is nailed to the plywood plate 420 through the passage hole 406 of the transparent resin plate 400, which is smaller than the diameter of the nail 430. In this case, the plurality of nails 430 are driven so that the nail 430 reaches the plywood plate 420 at a predetermined position of the game board 30, that is, for each of the plurality of passage holes 406 of the transparent resin plate 400. And the plywood plate 420 are fixed (fixed and fixed) over the whole in a front view.

(2) Full Fastening with Inner Rail 51 and Outer Rail 52 For example, the case where the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 shown in FIG. 4 are attached with a component attachment machine will be described below with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, the outer rail 52 will be described as an example. FIG. 19A is a diagram illustrating a state in which the outer rail 52 is attached to the game board 30, and FIG. 19B is a partial cross-sectional view in a state where the outer rail 52 is attached to the game board 30.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the outer rail 52 is a thin metal plate member having a small thickness, and is fixed to the game board 30 such that the longitudinal direction thereof is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the game board 30. The outer edge of the game area is formed. That is, as shown in FIG. 19, one side 52 a of the outer rail 52 in the short direction is in contact with the board surface of the game board 30 and is fixed to the game board 30. More specifically, the outer rail 52 includes an engaging pin 516 for positioning and a sharp hitting protrusion 518 for fixing to the game board 30 as shown in FIG. The engagement pins 516 of the outer rail 52 are provided on one side 52 a in the short direction of the outer rail 52 and at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the outer rail 52. Further, the striking protrusions 518 of the outer rail 52 are provided on one side 52 a in the short direction of the outer rail 52 and at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the outer rail 52. Further, the striking protrusion 518 is longer than the thickness of the transparent resin plate 400.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the transparent resin plate 400 is engaged at a first position which is a predetermined position among the positions where the outer rail 52 is to be attached, that is, at a position corresponding to the engagement pin 516 of the outer rail 52. An engagement hole 520 into which the pin 516 is inserted is formed, and a second position that is different from the first position among the positions to which the outer rail 52 is to be attached, that is, the striking protrusion 518 of the outer rail 52 is formed. A fixing hole 522 into which the hitting projection 518 is loosely fitted is formed at a corresponding location. The fixing hole 522 has a hole shape larger than the diameter of the driving projection 518.

  The outer rail 52 corresponds to a component in the present invention, one side 52a in the short direction of the outer rail 52 corresponds to a contact portion in the present invention, and the striking protrusion 518 corresponds to a protruding portion in the present invention. .

  Next, attachment of the outer rail 52 will be described. As described above, the engagement pin 516 of the outer rail 52 is fitted into the engagement hole 520 of the transparent resin plate 400 on the front surface side of the transparent resin plate 400 temporarily fixed by the temporary fixing member 506, and the transparent resin The hitting projection 518 of the outer rail 52 is loosely fitted into the fixing hole 522 of the plate 400. Then, the outer rail 52 is fixed to the plywood plate 420 with the transparent resin plate 400 sandwiched between them by striking the striking projection 518 of the outer rail 52 on the plywood plate 420 with a component mounting machine. In this manner, the outer rail 52 is fixed to the plywood plate 420 with the transparent resin plate 400 sandwiched therebetween, whereby the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420 are further fixed along the outer rail 52 (the main fixing). Play a role). That is, one side 52a in the short direction of the outer rail 52 serves as a pressing surface when the transparent resin plate 400 is sandwiched. In particular, the outer rail 52 (the inner rail 51 is omitted although explanation is omitted) is a game. The transparent resin plate 400 and the veneer plate 420 can be efficiently fixed because they are arranged in an arc shape (or an ellipse shape) along the outer periphery of the game area of the board 30.

  The outer rail 52 is fixed to the plywood plate 420 by loosely fitting the striking projection 518 into the fixing hole 522 of the transparent resin plate 400, so that the fixing operation is easy and the fixing release operation ( Easy to disassemble). Since the inner rail 51 is the same as the outer rail 52, description thereof is omitted here.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the outer rail 52 has a length from the lower position to the left upper side to the upper right portion (return rubber 54). Also good. Further, the engagement pin 516 and the hitting projection 518 may be provided only on one of the outer rail 52 and the inner rail 51. Further, although the outer rail 52 includes the engagement pin 516, the outer rail 52 may be configured not to have the engagement pin 516, and the striking protrusion 518 of the outer rail 52 may be fixed and positioned. Further, a screw hole is adopted instead of the driving projection 518 of the outer rail 52 (or the inner rail 51), a screw is inserted into the screw hole, and the screw is fastened to tighten the outer rail 52 (or the inner rail 51). May be fixed.

  Further, the engaging pin 516 of the outer rail 52 (or the inner rail 51) has a pin length shorter than the thickness of the transparent resin plate 400. That is, the engagement pin 516 does not protrude to the back side of the transparent resin plate 400 through the engagement hole 520. Therefore, there is no need to process the veneer plate 420 such as providing a hole or the like at a corresponding position of the engagement hole 520 of the transparent resin plate 400 in the veneer plate 420.

  For example, the clearance covering member 432 of the nail 430 of the first and second embodiments can only be expected to fill the opening 402 of the transparent resin plate 400. The transparent resin plate 400 and the veneer plate 420 by the clearance covering member 432 of the nail 430 are expected. Even if the fixing of the outer rail 52 and the inner rail 51 is not sufficiently fixed, the hitting projections 518 are hit against the plywood plate 420, and the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420 are viewed from the front. It can be fixed throughout (ie, along the outer edge of the gaming area).

(3) Final fastening with game parts (for example, the second starter 34) Next, for example, the case where the second starter 34 shown in FIG. . Hereinafter, the second start port 34 will be described as an example with reference to FIG. 20A is a schematic perspective view seen from the back surface (attachment surface) of the second starting port 34, and FIG. 20B is a partially cutaway view of the second starting port 34, FIG. c) is a cross-sectional view of the main part in a state in which the second start port 34 is attached to the game board 30. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the second start port 34 is a through gate through which a game ball passes. As shown in FIG. 20, the second starting port 34 includes an abutment base 530 that abuts against the transparent resin plate 400 and has an opening on the front side thereof through which a game ball can pass. Engagement pins 532 for positioning are provided on the back surface side (attachment surface side) of the abutment base 530 at the upper left position and the lower right position in the back view. Further, the abutment base 530 includes screw holes 534 into which screws 536 for fixing to the game board 30 are inserted at the lower left portion and the upper right portion in the rear view. The screw 536 inserted into the screw hole 534 is longer than the combined thickness of the second start port 34 and the transparent resin plate 400.

  As shown in FIG. 20 (c), the transparent resin plate 400 is a part where the second starting port 34 is attached, and the engaging pin 532 is located at a position corresponding to the engaging pin 532 of the second starting port 34. An engagement hole 538 into which the screw is inserted is formed, and the screw 536 is loosely fitted in a portion corresponding to the screw hole 534 of the second start port 34 at a portion where the second start port 34 is attached. A hole 539 is formed. The fixing hole 539 has a hole shape larger than the diameter of the screw 536.

  Further, the engaging pin 532 is fitted into the engaging hole 538, and the screw 536 is loosely fitted into the fixing hole 539. That is, since the gap between the screw 536 and the fixing hole 539 is larger than the gap between the engagement pin 532 and the engagement hole 538, when the screw 536 is screwed, the screw 536 The screw portion can be reduced from being damaged by rubbing (shaving) the fixing hole 539, and the engagement pin 532 is inserted into the engagement hole 538, so that the screw portion can be positioned and attached with high accuracy.

  The second starting port 34 corresponds to a component in the present invention, and the contact base 530 corresponds to a contact portion in the present invention.

  Next, attachment of the second start port 34 will be described. As described above, the engaging pin 532 of the second start port 34 is fitted into the engaging hole 538 of the transparent resin plate 400 on the front surface side of the transparent resin plate 400 temporarily fixed by the temporary fixing member 506. In the component mounting machine, the screw 536 is inserted through the screw hole 534 of the second start port 34 and the fixing hole 539 of the transparent resin plate 400 and screwed into the plywood plate 420. As described above, the screw 536 is screwed into the plywood plate 420 through the screw hole 534 of the second start port 34 and the engagement hole 538 of the transparent resin plate 400, so that the second start port 34 causes the transparent resin plate 400 to move. It is fixed to the plywood plate 420 in a sandwiched state (plays a part of the main fixing).

  In the sixth embodiment, the nail 430, the outer rail 52, the second starting port 34, and the like have been described as examples of fixing the transparent resin plate 400 and the veneer plate 420 (fixed fixing). The present invention may be applied to such an accessory or game parts (center frame, lamp accessory, etc.).

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the sixth embodiment, the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the veneer plate 420 are formed at two or more locations at the same location in the front view. Temporary fixing holes 502a to 502c for positioning and temporarily fixing the sheet 410 and the plywood plate 420 are provided, and the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410 and the plywood plate 420 are overlapped and inserted into the temporary fixing holes 502a to 502c. Thus, since the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the plywood plate 420 are provided with a temporary fixing member 506, the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the plywood plate 420 are temporarily fixed. It can be fixed and has excellent handleability, and can be supplied (unloaded) to the next process in this state.

  The temporary fastening member 506 includes a head 507 and a protruding bar portion 508 that protrudes from the head 507 and is inserted into the temporary fastening holes 502a to 502c of the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the plywood plate 420, The head 507 has a flat shape. That is, the protruding rod portion 508 of the temporary fixing member 506 is inserted into the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the temporary fixing holes 502a to 502c of the veneer plate 420 from the front side of the transparent resin plate 400, and the transparent resin plate 400 and the cell sheet are inserted. When 410 and the veneer plate 420 are overlapped and fixed temporarily, the flat head 507 of the temporary fixing member 506 protrudes to the front side of the transparent resin plate 400 and remains. Even when the transparent resin plate 400 and the veneer plate 420 that are temporarily fixed are laminated in this manner, the flat head 507 of the temporary fixing member 506 can be placed in a balanced manner, and the transparent resin plates 400 can slide with each other. Thus, scratching can be reduced.

  Further, the operator inserts the protruding rod portion 508 of the temporary fixing member 506 into the temporary fixing holes 502 a to 502 c of the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the plywood plate 420 from the front surface side of the transparent resin plate 400, 400, the cell sheet 410, and the plywood plate 420 can be temporarily fixed in a state of being overlapped. Further, in this temporarily fastened state, the transparent resin plate 400 and the veneer plate 420 are only fastened, and the relative positional relationship between the transparent resin plate 400 and the veneer plate 420 is kept to some extent that can be changed. It has become. In other words, in terms of the difference in the degree of fastening, in the temporarily fastened state, there is still a degree of freedom in the relative positional relationship between the temporarily secured transparent resin plate 400 and plywood plate 420 (the relative positional relationship between the two is at least in one direction). In this state, the relative positional relationship between the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420 is completely fixed. For example, in terms of the fastening operation, the temporary fastening member 506 is manually inserted into the temporary fastening holes 502a to 502c in a state where the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420 are overlapped, and the temporary fastening is performed. For example, the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420 are fixed by a process using a machine (such as a nailing machine) for the purpose of fastening.

  Further, since the transparent resin plate 400 includes the positioning holes 514a that fit into the positioning pins 510 of the mounting table 513 (table) of the nailing machine, the nailing of the thin plate member can be performed with high accuracy.

  The positioning hole 514c of the plywood plate 420 is concentric with the positioning hole 514a of the transparent resin plate 400 and is larger than that. In other words, since the positioning holes 514a and 514c are two-stage through holes formed concentrically and the positioning hole 514c is larger than the positioning hole 514a, the transparent resin plate 400 and the veneer plate 420 in the temporarily fixed state are provided. The positioning holes 514a and 514c can be positioned simply by being fitted to the positioning pins 510 of the mounting table 513, and the positioning pins 510 are not projected on the front side of the transparent resin plate 400. The area (nailing area) is not limited, and a processing area (nailing area) can be secured.

  In the sixth embodiment, the transparent resin plate 400 includes the positioning holes 514a that fit the positioning pins 510 of the mounting table 513 (table) of the nailing machine, but the positioning holes 514a of the transparent resin plate 400 are provided. A mounting table for a component mounting machine for mounting a positioning pin 510 of a mounting table (table) of a router processing machine for router processing the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420, and various game parts (such as a prize opening, a through chucker, and a windmill). It may be fitted to the positioning pin 510 of the table), or may be fitted to a plurality of nailing machines, router processing machines, and component mounting machines.

  Further, in the sixth embodiment, the positioning holes 514a to mate with the temporary fixing holes 502a to 502c of the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410 and the plywood plate 420 and the positioning pins 510 of the mounting table 513 (table) of the nailing machine. Although 514c is separate (separate), the temporary fixing holes 502a to 502c and the positioning holes 514a to 514c may be used in the same manner. For example, the temporary fixing member 506 is inserted into the temporary fixing holes 502a to 502c of the transparent resin plate 400, the cell sheet 410, and the plywood plate 420 so that the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420 are temporarily fixed. A configuration in which the positioning pin 510 of the nailing machine is fitted into the hollow portion of the protruding rod portion 508 of the temporary fixing member 506 is exemplified. The hollow portion corresponds to the positioning holes 514a to 514c, and the hollow portion may correspond to the positioning hole 514a.

  In the sixth embodiment, the transparent resin plate 400 includes the positioning holes 514a that fit the positioning pins 510 of the mounting table 513 (table) of the nailing machine, but the transparent resin plate 400 is not a hole. A positioning pin that fits into the positioning hole of the mounting table 513 (table) of the nailing machine may be provided.

The contact area of the nail 430 to the transparent resin plate 400 may be further reduced.

  (7) In the above-described fourth embodiment, the light guide plate 408 may emit light or change the emission color according to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 (big hit state, specific reach display state, short time state, etc.) Good.

  (8) In each of the above-described embodiments, the nail tip of the nail 430 may be provided with a threaded portion, and the threaded portion may be implanted in a state where the threaded portion is placed inside the plywood plate 420. In this case, since the screw portion of the nail tip of the nail 430 is implanted in a state of being inserted into the plywood plate 420, in the case of a nail having a screw portion at the nail tip in this way, Compared to the case of a nail that does not have a thread portion first, the nail 430 can be driven firmly by the plywood plate 420. Further, when the nail 430 is in contact with the transparent resin plate 400 and the plywood plate 420, and the driving length of the nail 430 into the transparent resin plate 400 is the same as the driving length of the nail 430 into the plywood plate 420. However, the contact area of the veneer plate 420 of the nail 430 can be increased due to the thread of the screw portion of the nail tip and the valley structure thereof, and the ratio of supporting the nail 430 is made larger than the transparent resin plate 400. be able to.

  (9) In each of the above-described embodiments, a covering sheet may be attached to the front side of the plywood plate 420 (the side facing the transparent resin plate 400). This covering sheet is preferably affixed to the plywood plate 420 throughout. By sticking the covering sheet to the plywood plate 420, it is possible to prevent the generation of wood chips and the like from the plywood plate 420, and to reduce the occurrence of wood chips and the like in the game area of the game board 30.

  (10) In Embodiments 4 and 5 described above, the light emitting part (light source: LED 440) is provided on the outer side of the light guide plate 408. However, the light emitting part (light source: LED 440) is disposed at a position away from the light guide plate 408. May be. For example, providing the light emission part (light source: LED440) in the location corresponding to the outer side of the game board 30 in the inner frame 12 is mentioned. By providing the light emitting unit (light source: LED 440) in the inner frame 12 in this way, the light emitting unit (light source: LED 440) can be left in the inner frame 12 even during “replacement” in which only the game board 30 is replaced. It can be used for the next model. Further, a light guide member such as an optical fiber or a transparent resin may be provided to supply light from the light emitting unit (light source: LED 440) to the light guide plate 408. Thereby, the freedom degree of arrangement | positioning of the light emission part (light source: LED440) improves.

  (11) In each of the above-described embodiments, the light incident portion 450 (light incident means) includes the light guide member 480 (light guide member), but without the light guide member 480 (light guide member). Alternatively, a configuration may be adopted in which light is directly applied to the inner wall of the through-hole 409 (light emitting unit: light source).
