That is, when the area around the window 101 of the front frame set 14 is illuminated with a plurality of light emitting means (LEDs), as in the prior art, first, a printed circuit board is formed according to the shape of the area around the window 101, Unlike the case where a plurality of LEDs are arranged on the printed board and the printed board is attached so as to be fitted to the peripheral area of the window portion 101, a plurality of light emitter units 402 are attached to the peripheral area of the window portion 101. Is done by placing it in an appropriate part.

  For example, when it is necessary to pass an electric circuit through a narrow part in order to supply power to a plurality of LEDs (light emitting unit 402), an electric circuit passed through the narrow part as in the past Is configured by the printed pattern of the printed circuit board, because the amount of the arrangement is limited, there is a concern that the number of LEDs to be installed must be reduced.

  In this regard, according to the present embodiment, after arranging the plurality of light emitter units 402 including the LEDs 421 and 422 and the connector 424, the cables 461 constituting the electric circuit corresponding to the light emitter units 402 are overlapped in the front and rear. Since it can arrange | position, it can avoid the malfunction that the number of LED must be reduced resulting from limiting the number of the electrical circuits which let this narrow part pass. Furthermore, since there is no need to worry about the installation space of the electric circuit that passes through the narrow part, the LED (light emitting unit 402) can be installed also in the narrow part. Therefore, even if the decorative symbol display device 42 is expanded or the game area is expanded, it is possible to prevent the possibility that the decorative effect and the effect of the light are reduced.

  Further, as in the prior art, when a plurality of LEDs are arranged on a single flat printed board formed in accordance with the shape of a portion of the gaming machine to be illuminated, the LED of the LED is formed by the printed board. Although the attachment position (particularly the front-rear position) has been restricted, according to the present embodiment, since there is no such restriction, a plurality of LEDs (light-emitting unit 402) can be shifted in the front-rear direction. In this way, by adjusting the front-rear position of the light emitter unit 402, the intensity of light, the range of light, and the like can be changed. Therefore, by setting the front-rear position for each light emitter unit 402, it is possible to make the aspect of light viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10 a desired aspect. In other words, it is possible to prevent the possibility that variations in the light modes of the plurality of LEDs will occur, and it is possible to prevent the possibility of deteriorating decorativeness.

  Conventionally, in order to eliminate the variation in the light mode due to the plurality of LEDs as described above, the shape of the LED (for example, LED package shape) and the lens (lens portion) provided corresponding to the LED is individually set. Although there has been a case where the lighting method is adjusted by changing, according to the present embodiment, it can be dealt with by changing the arrangement position (front-rear position) of the light emitter unit 402, and therefore it is necessary to perform such work. Absent. For this reason, due to the individual changes in the shape of the LED and the lens, the workability is reduced, the production period is delayed, and the cost is increased during product development. It is possible to suppress the possibility of a decrease in productivity and an increase in cost due to an increase in types of lenses (lens portions) and the like. In addition, since the light emitter unit 402 can be used as it is in a new model even when the model is changed, there are effects such as improvement in workability, resource saving by reuse, reduction in development cost, and shortening of the development period. Is done. In addition, when a new model is manufactured, if it is desired to change the arrangement position of the LED due to the change in the shape of the illumination cover 403 or the like, conventionally, it is necessary to recreate the printed circuit board (print pattern). However, according to the present embodiment, the arrangement position of the LEDs can be changed without changing the printed circuit board by changing the arrangement of the light emitter units 402, so that the productivity can be improved.

  In addition, since the LEDs 421 and 422 and the lens (lens portions 433 and 434) are integrated, the risk that the LEDs 421 and 422 and the lens portions 433 and 434 are displaced can be suppressed. The lens portions 433 and 434 can be shaped to match the LEDs 421 and 422, and it is easy to obtain a light mode as designed. Further, the presence of the lens portions 433 and 434 in the light emitter unit 402 allows the LEDs 421 and 422 to be changed without changing the shapes of the LEDs 421 and 422 and the printed circuit board 411 by changing the shapes of the lens portions 433 and 434. The light mode of the (illuminator unit 402) can be changed. That is, parts such as the LEDs 421 and 422 and the printed circuit board 411 can be shared, and the decorativeness can be improved at low cost. In addition, since the intensity | strength of light etc. can be adjusted by arrange | positioning the several light-emitting unit 402 back and forth as mentioned above, the type which diffuses the light from LED421,422 as the shape of the lens parts 433,434, and If there are a plurality of types such as a type that collects the light, a plurality of light emitter units can meet various requirements regarding the mode of light. Therefore, the effect that the decorativeness can be improved at low cost is surely achieved. In addition, since the lens portions 433 and 434 are provided corresponding to the LEDs 421 and 422, the lens portions 433 and 434 can have a lens shape more suitable for the LEDs 421 and 422, and the mode of light by the LEDs 421 and 422 is one lump. It is possible to avoid such a situation.

  In the present embodiment, the main body member 412 includes locking portions 437 and 438 formed integrally with the lens portions 433 and 434. For this reason, the operation of attaching the locking portions 437 and 438 to the lens portions 433 and 434 can be omitted, and the risk of attaching a locking portion that does not correspond to the lens portions 433 and 434 can be avoided. In addition, since the lens portions 433 and 434 and the locking portions 437 and 438 are integrally formed, the lens portions 433 and 434 and the locking portions 437 and 438 can be made to correspond to each other. The light emitting unit 402 (lens portions 433 and 434) that can be attached to the attachment hole 405 can be limited by the shape of the attachment hole 405. Accordingly, when a plurality of types of light emitter units 403 (lens parts 433 and 434) are mounted on one model, or when a plurality of models are manufactured on one manufacturing line in a factory, different types of light emitter units are respectively provided. When the 403 is mounted, it is possible to prevent the possibility that the light emitter unit 403 (lens portions 433 and 434) is attached by mistake. Further, it is not necessary to separately provide a mechanism for attaching the light emitter unit 402 to the attachment plate 401, and the configuration can be simplified and workability can be improved. Further, the locking portions 437 and 438 can be shaped to match the size and shape of the LEDs 421 and 422 and the lens portions 433 and 434, and the light emitted from the LEDs 421 and 422 by the locking portions 437 and 438. It is possible to prevent the possibility of adversely affecting the appearance of the image.

  Furthermore, the printed circuit board 411 is covered with a side wall portion 432 at the peripheral edge portion and the back surface is covered with a lid member 413. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the printed board 411 from falling off, and to suppress the possibility that the printed pattern on the back side of the printed board 411 and the peripheral edge of the printed board are exposed. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the printed circuit board 411 from being damaged when being carried or attached by the light emitter unit 402 unit.

  In addition, for example, when the lid member and the side wall portion are integrally formed and the lens portion is formed as a separate part from the side wall portion, a metal for forming a lens portion that requires a predetermined thickness for its function Both the mold and the mold for forming the lid member may become large. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since the side wall portion 432 is integrally formed with the lens portions 433 and 434 that require thickness, and the lid member 413 is a separate part, the lid member 413 requires that much thickness. Disappear. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of the mold by integrally molding the lens portions 433 and 434 and the side wall portion 432 as in this embodiment, rather than integrally molding the lid member and the side wall portion. Can be reduced.

  In addition, the connection state of the connector 424 can be stabilized by the presence of the cylindrical portion 452 extending rearward from the peripheral edge of the connection opening 451 formed in the lid member 413.

  The LEDs 421 and 422 are arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction of the printed circuit board 411, and are further disposed at symmetrical positions with the center position C of the printed circuit board 411 as the center. For this reason, the luminous body unit 402 can be made compact after sufficiently securing the installation space of the lens portions 433 and 434 so that the lens portions 433 and 434 do not overlap each other. Further, the connector 424 is disposed at a position deviated from a line segment connecting the centers of the LEDs 421 and 422. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the mounting direction of the light emitter unit 402 is wrong. The connector 424 is disposed between the two LEDs 421 and 422, and the distance between the connector 424 and each of the LEDs 421 and 422 is equal. For this reason, the total length of the printed pattern can be shortened, and the printed circuit board 411 and, consequently, the light emitting unit 402 can be made compact.

  In addition, by providing the illumination cover 403, it is possible to give further changes to the shape of the front surface of the pachinko machine 10 and the light mode of the light emitter unit 402 that is visually recognized from the front of the pachinko machine 10. Can be significantly improved. Further, the presence of the illumination cover 403 makes it difficult to visually recognize the light emitter unit 402 and the like when the LEDs 421 and 422 are not emitting light, and when the LEDs 421 and 422 emit light, the LEDs 421 and 421 pass through the illumination cover 403. The light emitted from 422 and transmitted through the lens portions 433 and 434 can be viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the possibility that the light emitter unit 402 is directly seen and become a tasteless visual aspect, and the light emitter unit 402 (LEDs 421 and 422) is irradiated without being distracted. You can fully enjoy the aspect of light. Furthermore, it is possible to suppress the possibility that the appearance quality is deteriorated due to the fact that the mounting portion or the like of the light emitter unit 402 is visible.

  Further, the light emitter unit 402 is fixedly attached to a mounting plate 401 having an uneven shape in the front and rear according to the surface shape of the electric decoration cover 403 that undulates in the front and rear. The distance from the unit 402 to the illumination cover 403 on each light emitter attached and fixed to the attachment plate 401 is almost uniform with respect to any of the light emitter units 402. The aspect of the visually recognized light can be made uniform as a whole. Therefore, by appropriately adjusting the distance from the light emitter unit 402 to the illumination cover 403 for each light emitter unit 402, there is a risk that variations in the form of light viewed from the front through the illumination cover 403 may occur. Can be avoided.

  Further, when the light emitting unit 402 is provided in the electric decoration cover 403, the fixing of the light emitting unit 402 on the front surface of the electric decoration cover 403 due to the provision of the fixing portion for fixing the light emitting unit 402 to the electric decoration cover 403. There is a possibility that the part corresponding to the part becomes dark. On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the light emitter unit 402 is attached to the attachment plate 401 different from the illumination cover 403, there is a risk that spots are generated in the form of light visually recognized through the illumination cover 403. Can be prevented.

  As mentioned above, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment at all, and it cannot be overemphasized that it can implement with a various form, unless it deviates from the meaning of this invention.

  (A) In the above embodiment, two LEDs 421 and 422 are provided for one light emitter unit 402 (printed circuit board 411), but three or more LEDs may be provided on the printed circuit board 411. As described above, as the number of LEDs provided on the printed circuit board 411 increases, for example, the workability is improved as compared with the case where the same number of LEDs are provided one by one for the front frame set 14 one by one. However, since the light emitting unit 402 may become large, it is desirable that the number of LEDs disposed on one printed circuit board 411 is as small as possible. When three or more LEDs are provided, the distance between adjacent LEDs is made substantially equal, the connector 424 is arranged at the center position C of the printed circuit board 411, and the distance between each LED and the connector 424 is made equal. Is desirable. In this case, the main body member 412 can be made compact while securing the installation space for the lens portions 433 and 434, or the printed circuit board 411 can be miniaturized by shortening the overall length of the print pattern. As a result, the light emitter unit 402 can be made compact.

  Furthermore, the emission color, shape, and the like of the LEDs 421 and 422 are not particularly limited. Furthermore, a plurality of LEDs of three colors such as red, blue, and green may be used as one light emitting unit, and a plurality of the light emitting units may be provided on the printed circuit board 411.

  In the above embodiment, the LEDs 421 and 422 are both arranged on the same series circuit, and if one is lit, the other is lit. However, the LEDs 421 and 422 are arranged on independent circuits and lit at different timings. -It is good also as a structure by which light extinction can be switched. Further, another electrical element (a capacitor or the like) may be interposed between the connector 424 and the LEDs 421 and 422.

  (B) In the above embodiment, the light emitter unit 402 is provided in the front frame set 14, but the installation position of the light emitter unit 402 is not particularly limited, and is attached to various parts of the pachinko machine 10. Is possible. For example, the light emitter unit 402 may be built in the center frame 47 provided at the periphery of the decorative symbol display device 42 so that the light emitted from the light emitter unit 402 can be viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10. By adopting the illuminant unit 402 for the illumination of the center frame 47, the light emitting means (LEDs 421, 422) can be arranged and lit without taking up much installation space. It is possible to suppress such a situation that the number of LEDs is reduced and the electrical decoration applied to the center frame 47 becomes poor. In addition to the light emitting unit 402 for decoration (electric decoration), a light emitting unit 402 for notifying an error occurrence may be provided.

  (C) The shape of the lens portions 433 and 434 in the above embodiment is not particularly limited, and can be freely designed according to the shape of the electric decoration cover 403 and the like. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the lens portions 433 and 434 protrude spherically from the back surface of the front wall portion 431 and correspond to the front portions of the lens portions 433 and 434 (the lens portions 433 and 434 on the front surface of the front wall portion 431). May be formed in a spherical shape (a type in which the light from the LEDs 421 and 422 is diffused). Thus, by changing the shape of the front part and the rear part of the lens parts 433 and 434, the characteristics as a lens change, and various light modes can be obtained.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the latching | locking parts 437 and 438 are extended to the back of the pachinko machine 10 from the side wall part 432 in the attachment state, as shown in FIG. It is good also as a structure extended ahead. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the main body member 412 is comprised by the box shape opened to one side, you may comprise in cross-sectional U-shape, for example. Further, a plurality of types of light emitter units such as different shapes of lens portions may be mounted on the pachinko machine 10. Even when there are a plurality of types of light emitter units 402, the shape of the mounting hole 405 is changed for each type of the light emitter units 402 by sharing at least the locking portions 437 and 438. Time and effort can be omitted.

  (D) In addition, the shapes of the printed circuit board 411 and the lid member 413 are not particularly limited. For example, the printed circuit board 411 and the lid member 413 may be configured in a disk shape or an oval shape. Further, the lid member 413 can be omitted.

  (E) Instead of the mounting plate 401 of the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, a mounting base 491 (a connecting member) that is mounted at the position where the light emitting unit 402 is disposed corresponding to each of the plurality of light emitting units 402. The light emitter unit 402 may be attached and fixed to the above. However, in this case, since the mounting bases 491 must be attached and fixed to the resin base 92 by the number of the light emitter units 402, the attachment plate 401 to which the plurality of light emitter units 402 are attached is employed as in the above embodiment. This improves the workability of mounting. Further, in the above embodiment, when fine adjustment is necessary for the front and rear positions of the light emitter unit 401, the mounting base 491 may be attached to the mounting plate 401. In this case, complication of the shape of the mounting plate 401 can be suppressed. Of course, the light emitter unit 402 may be attached and fixed directly to the resin base 92.

  (F) In the embodiment described above, the light from the light emitter unit 402 can be visually recognized through the electric decoration cover 403. However, the light emitter unit 402 may be installed in a place where the electric decoration cover 403 is not provided (electric decoration). The cover 403 may be omitted). In addition, the light from the light emitter unit 402 may be reflected after being reflected by a mirror, or the light from the light emitter unit 402 may be projected onto a predetermined part so that the projected light is visually recognized. .

  (G) You may implement as a different type of pachinko machine etc. from the said embodiment. For example, once a big hit, a pachinko machine that raises the expected value of the big hit until a big hit state occurs (for example, two times or three times) including that (for example, a two-time right item, a three-time right item) May also be implemented. Further, it may be implemented as a pachinko machine that enters a special gaming state on the condition that a game ball is awarded in a predetermined area after the big hit symbol is displayed. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to a pachinko machine called a blade. In addition to pachinko machines, the present invention can also be implemented as various game machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a similar sparrow ball. However, these gaming machines are equipped with a variable display device such as a liquid crystal display device or a dot matrix display device.

  (H) As a gaming machine other than a pachinko machine, it can of course be implemented as a slot machine as a swivel type gaming machine having an auxiliary display device (liquid crystal display device, dot matrix display device) as a variable display device. The slot machine includes a rotating body with a plurality of symbols. For example, when a coin is inserted and the operating lever is operated in a state where the symbol effective line is determined, the symbol fluctuates, and the stop button It is a well-known thing that the symbol is stopped by operating. In this case, the auxiliary display device displays various effects as the rotating body rotates.

  Moreover, you may implement as a game machine which the pachinko machine and the slot machine united. As a specific example, an identification information string composed of a plurality of identification information (specifically, a reel and identification information is a symbol attached to the reel) is variably displayed (specifically, a rotation of the reel). After that, the variable display means for finally stopping and displaying the identification information is provided, and the fluctuation of the identification information is started due to the operation of the start operation means (for example, the operation lever), and the stop operation means (for example, the stop button) is operated Due to the fact that the variation of the identification information is stopped due to the elapse of a predetermined time, a special gaming state generating means for generating a special gaming state advantageous to the player according to the lottery result made at that time is provided as a game medium. In addition to using game balls, a predetermined number of game balls are required at the start of variation of the identification information, and many game balls are paid out when a special game state occurs.

[Appendix]
One type of gaming machine is a pachinko machine. In such a pachinko machine, a front door is generally provided on the front side of a gaming machine main body having a gaming area provided with a variable display device so as to be openable and closable. A window portion is formed on the front door, and a game area is visible through the window portion (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Further, in such a pachinko machine, a large number of light emitting means (for example, LEDs) are arranged on the front door and the game area (for example, the peripheral portion of the variable display device) in order to enhance the decoration effect and the production effect by light. The light emitted from the light emitting means is visible from the front through a cover member provided so as to cover these light emitting means. Note that the light emitting means is not only for the effect that the lighting mode is switched according to the gaming state or the like, but for the notification that performs notification of, for example, an error occurring by switching the lighting mode. .

Moreover, the light emitting means as described above is generally mounted on an electric decoration board (printed board) formed in accordance with the shape of the attached portion such as the front door. That is, a plurality of light emitting means are arranged at appropriate positions on the printed circuit board so that the form of light visually recognized through the cover member is in a predetermined manner.

In recent years, the game area tends to be expanded as the size of the variable display device increases. In addition, with the expansion of the game area, it is necessary to secure a large window part of the front door, and accordingly, the frame part around the window part is slimmed. However, in this case, it is necessary to slim the printed circuit board as well, particularly in a narrowed portion, the light emitting means cannot be arranged, or the amount of the printed pattern that passes through such a portion. There is a concern that the number of light-emitting means has to be reduced as a whole due to the limitation of. Therefore, there is a possibility that the decoration effect and the production effect by light are reduced.

In order to improve the decorativeness, it is conceivable that the shape of the cover member covering the front of the light emitting means is undulated back and forth (partially inflated forward or stepped). However, in this case, the distance from the light emitting means mounted on the flat printed board to the cover member is greatly different for each light emitting means, and as a result, the light visually recognized through the cover member There is a possibility that variations (spots) occur in the form and the decorativeness is lowered.

Note that the above-described problem is not limited to pachinko machines, but also applies to other gaming machines such as a slot machine and a multi-function machine of a pachinko machine and a slot machine.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems and the like, and its purpose is to provide a game equipped with a light-emitting unit capable of preventing a reduction in decoration effect regardless of various restrictions. Is to provide a machine.

Next, the technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment will be described below.

Means 1. A plurality of light emitting units integrally including a printed board including at least a plurality of light emitting means and a connector electrically connected to the light emitting means; and a main body member to which the printed board is attached;
The main body member includes a lens portion that is disposed to face the plurality of light emitting means of the printed circuit board that is attached to the main body member, and diffuses or collects light emitted from the light emitting means. A featured gaming machine.

  According to the means 1, there is provided a light emitting unit in which a printed board having a plurality of light emitting means and connectors and a lens (lens part) that diffuses or collects light emitted from the light emitting means are integrated. That is, when decorating a predetermined area with a plurality of light emitting means, as in the prior art, first, a printed circuit board is formed in accordance with the shape of the predetermined area, a plurality of light emitting means are arranged on the printed circuit board, Unlike mounting the printed circuit board so as to fit in the predetermined area, the light emitting means is arranged in various parts of the predetermined area in units of light emitter units.

  For example, when it is necessary to pass an electric circuit through a narrow part in order to supply power to a plurality of light emitting means (light emitting unit), an electric circuit passed through the narrow part as in the past Is constituted by the printed pattern of the printed circuit board, because the amount of the arrangement is limited, there is a concern that the number of light emitting means must be reduced.

  In this regard, according to the present means, after the plurality of light emitter units including the light emitting means and the connector are arranged at predetermined positions, the cables constituting the electric circuit corresponding to these light emitter units are arranged to be overlapped in the front and rear. Therefore, the problem that the number of light emitting means must be reduced due to the limited number of electric circuits passing through the narrow portion can be avoided. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to worry about the installation space of the electric circuit that passes through the narrow part, the light emitting means (light emitter unit) can be installed also in the narrow part. Therefore, it is possible to expand the variable display device or expand the game area while suppressing the fear that the decoration effect and the effect of the light (light emitting means) are reduced.

  Furthermore, when a plurality of light emitting means are arranged on a single printed circuit board formed in accordance with the shape of a portion of the gaming machine to be illuminated as in the prior art, the light emitting means is attached by the printed circuit board. Although the position (particularly the front-rear position) is limited, according to the present means, since there is no such restriction, a plurality of light-emitting means (light-emitting body units) can be arranged to be shifted back and forth. Thus, by adjusting the front-and-rear position of the light emitter unit, it is possible to change the intensity of light, the range of light, and the like. Therefore, by setting the front / rear position for each light emitter unit, the aspect of the light visually recognized from the front of the gaming machine can be set as a desired aspect. In other words, it is possible to prevent the possibility of variations in the light modes of the plurality of light emitting means, and to prevent the possibility of deteriorating decorativeness.

  In addition, conventionally, in order to eliminate the variation in the light mode due to the plurality of light emitting means as described above, the light emitting means (for example, LED package shape in the case of LED) and the lens (lens portion) corresponding to the light emitting means. However, according to the present means, it is possible to cope with the problem by changing the arrangement position of the light emitting means, so that it is not necessary to perform such work. For this reason, due to the individual changes in the shape of the light emitting means and the lens, it takes a lot of time, time and cost at the time of product development. Due to the increase, it is possible to suppress the possibility of a decrease in productivity and an increase in cost. In addition, even when changing models, the light emitter unit can be used in new models as it is, and there are advantages such as improved productivity, resource saving through reuse, reduction in development costs, and shortened development period. The In addition, when it is desired to change the arrangement position of the light emitting means when manufacturing a new model, it has conventionally been necessary to recreate the printed circuit board (print pattern). Since the arrangement position of the light emitting means can be changed without changing the printed circuit board by changing, productivity can be improved.

  In addition, since the light emitting means and the lens (lens portion) are integrated, the possibility that the light emitting means and the lens are displaced can be suppressed, and the lens shape corresponding to the light emitting means can be obtained. It is easy to make the light mode as designed. In addition, since the lens unit is present in the light emitter unit, the light form of the light emitter (light emitter unit) can be changed without changing the shape of the light emitter or the printed circuit board by changing the shape of the lens unit. Can be changed. That is, parts such as the light emitting means and the printed circuit board can be shared, and the decorativeness can be improved at low cost. Furthermore, since the light intensity can be adjusted by shifting the plurality of light emitter units back and forth as described above, the lens unit is configured to diffuse the light from the light emitting means and condense the light. If there are a plurality of types such as a type to be used, a plurality of light emitter units can meet various requirements regarding the mode of light. Therefore, the effect that the decorativeness can be improved at low cost is surely achieved. In addition, a plurality of types of light emitter units (with different lens portion shapes) may be mounted on one gaming machine, or only one type of light emitter unit (with the same lens portion shape) may be mounted. Also good.

  It should be noted that a plurality of lens portions may be provided corresponding to the plurality of light emitting means. In this case, it is possible to make the lens shape more suitable for the light emitting means, for example, it is possible to clearly see the form of light visually recognized through the lens portion, or the light from a plurality of light emitting means mounted on the printed circuit board. Can be avoided. Furthermore, even in the case where the plurality of lens portions are designed not to overlap in order to avoid a situation in which the form of light by the plurality of light emitting means becomes one lump as described above, Since the distance between the plurality of light emitting means provided in the connector and the connector is equal, the main body member, and thus the light emitting unit, can be made compact. The light emitted from the light emitting means and transmitted through the lens unit is irradiated toward the front of the gaming machine main body or through a reflecting member that reflects the light emitted from the light emitting unit and transmitted through the lens unit. It is good also as a structure which irradiates toward the front of a game machine main body.

  Mean 2. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the main body member is integrally formed with the lens portion, and includes a locking portion for locking the light emitting unit to the mounted portion.

  According to the means 2, the main body member is provided with the locking portion formed integrally with the lens portion. For this reason, the work of attaching the locking portion to the lens portion can be omitted, and the risk of attaching a locking portion that does not correspond to the lens portion can be avoided. In addition, since the lens portion and the locking portion are integrally molded, the lens portion and the locking portion can be made to correspond to each other, so that the light emitter that can be attached to the mounted portion according to the shape of the mounted portion. A unit (lens part) can be limited. Accordingly, a plurality of types of light emitter units (lens portions) are mounted on one model, or different types of light emitter units are mounted when a plurality of models are manufactured on one manufacturing line in a factory. In such a case, it is possible to prevent the possibility that the light emitter unit (lens unit) is attached by mistake. Further, it is not necessary to separately provide a mechanism for attaching the light emitter unit to the attached portion, and the configuration can be simplified and workability can be improved. Furthermore, the shape of the locking portion can be made in accordance with the size and shape of the light emitting means and the lens portion, and the locking portion may adversely affect the appearance of light emitted from the light emitting means. Can be prevented.

  In addition, it is good also as changing the shape of a latching | locking part for every kind of light-emitting body unit. In this case, the possibility that the mounting position of the light emitter unit with respect to the mounted portion is wrong can be suppressed. Further, when one main body member includes a plurality of locking portions, at least one of the plurality of locking portions may have a different shape from the other locking portions (the shape varies depending on the locking portions). Good. In this case, it is possible to suppress the possibility that the mounting direction of the light emitter unit is wrong. In addition, when the light emitter unit is locked to the mounted portion by a plurality of locking portions provided on the main body member, the distance between the locking portions is increased in order to stabilize the locking state. It is desirable to dispose each of the locking portions.

  According to the means 3, the printed circuit board can be prevented from falling off by the lid member and the side wall, and the possibility that the printed pattern on the back side of the printed circuit board or the peripheral edge of the printed circuit board is exposed is suppressed. Can do. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the printed circuit board from being damaged when being carried or attached in units of light emitter units.

  In addition, for example, when the lid member and the side wall portion are integrally formed and the lens portion is formed as a separate part from the side wall portion, a metal for forming a lens portion that requires a predetermined thickness for its function Both the mold and the mold for forming the lid member may become large. On the other hand, according to the present means, since the side wall portion is integrally formed with the lens portion that requires thickness and the lid member is a separate part, the lid member does not require that much thickness. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the size of the mold and reduce the cost by integrally molding the lens portion and the side wall portion as in this means, rather than integrally molding the lid member and the side wall portion. it can.

  Note that the lid member does not necessarily cover the entire back surface of the printed circuit board, and a part thereof may be open. For example, the lid member may be formed with an opening for connector connection. Furthermore, an enclosure extending from the peripheral edge of the connector connecting opening in the direction intersecting the lid member may be provided to surround the peripheral edge of the connector. In this case, the connection state of the connector can be stabilized.

The printed circuit board has a long plate shape,
Each of the light emitting means is arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction of the printed circuit board,
4. The gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 3, wherein the connector is disposed between the two light emitting means at a position deviating from a line segment connecting the centers of the light emitting means.

  According to the means 4, since the two light emitting means are arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction of the printed circuit board, the light emitting unit can be made compact while ensuring a certain size in the lens portion. Moreover, the connector is arrange | positioned in the position remove | deviated from the line segment which connects the centers of each light emission means. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the mounting direction of the light emitter unit is wrong.

  Means 5. Two light emitting means and one connector are provided per one printed circuit board, the printed circuit board is in the shape of a long plate, and the lens portion is two corresponding to the two light emitting means individually. The gaming machine according to claim 4, wherein the two light emitting means provided on the printed circuit board are arranged symmetrically with respect to a center position in a longitudinal direction of the printed circuit board.

  According to the means 5, the two light emitting means are arranged in a symmetrical position with respect to the center position in the longitudinal direction of the printed circuit board, and a connector is arranged between the two light emitting means. It is possible to reduce the size of the light emitting unit in which two light emitting means and one connector are provided for one printed circuit board while ensuring a sufficient installation space for the lens portions so that they do not overlap each other. .

Means 6. The light emitting unit is disposed so that light emitted from the light emitting means and transmitted through the lens unit is irradiated to the front of the gaming machine body,
Cover means provided so as to cover the front of the plurality of light emitter units,
The cover means is a member that makes it difficult or impossible to see the light emitting unit from the front of the gaming machine main body (rather than a transparent member) such as a semi-transparent member, a prism plate, or a half mirror. A gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 5, characterized by comprising:

  According to the means 6, by providing the cover means, it is possible to give a further change to the front shape of the gaming machine and the light mode of the luminous body unit viewed from the front of the gaming machine, and the decorativeness is remarkably improved. Can be improved. Further, due to the presence of the cover means, in the state where the light emitting means is not emitting light, the light emitter unit becomes difficult or impossible to see, and in the state where the light emitting means emits light, emitted from the light emitting means through the cover means, The light transmitted through the lens portion can be viewed from the front of the gaming machine main body. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the possibility that the luminous body unit is directly seen and become a tasteless visual aspect, and to fully enjoy the aspect of light emitted from the light emitting means without being distracted by the luminous body unit. Can do. Further, it is possible to suppress the possibility that the appearance quality is deteriorated due to the fact that the mounting portion or the like of the light emitting unit is visible.

  Further, even when the cover means is undulated back and forth (partially inflates forward) or inclined with respect to the vertical direction, the light emitter unit to the cover means for each light emitter unit. By appropriately adjusting the distance, the aspect of the light visually recognized from the front through the cover means can be changed to a desired aspect, and for example, the possibility of variations in the light aspect can be avoided. .

  When the light emitting unit is provided in the cover means, the portion corresponding to the fixing portion of the front surface of the cover means becomes dark due to the provision of the fixing portion for fixing the light emitting unit to the cover means. There is a risk that. On the other hand, by attaching the light emitter unit to an attached portion different from the cover means, it is possible to prevent the possibility that spots are generated in the form of light visually recognized through the cover means. In addition, as a “translucent” member, a member on the back side of the member is not visible or difficult to see through the member, but light from the light emitting means on the back side of the member passes through the member. Thus, it can be visually recognized from the front side of the member, and includes, for example, a resin whose surface is coated.

  Mean 7 7. The gaming machine according to claim 6, further comprising an attachment member that has an uneven shape on the front and rear according to the surface shape of the cover means and to which the light emitting unit is attached.

  According to the means 7, the light emitter unit is desired in the front-rear direction by attaching the light emitter unit to the attachment member (attached portion) having an uneven shape in front and rear according to the surface shape of the cover means. Can be arranged relatively easily. For example, with respect to all the light emitter units provided on the back side of the cover means, the distance from the light emitter unit to the cover means is made substantially uniform, so that the mode of light visually recognized through the cover means is made uniform overall. can do. In addition, for example, in order to adjust the front-rear position of the light-emitting unit, the mounting base on which only one light-emitting unit is mounted is attached compared to a configuration in which one light-emitting unit is mounted and fixed at the position where each light-emitting unit is installed. Workability is improved. In addition, when the shape of the cover means is changed when changing the model of the gaming machine (minor change, etc.), it is only necessary to change the shape of the mounting member (position where each light emitter unit is mounted, the step shape, etc.) as the mounted portion. Since it is possible to realize a desired way of viewing the light, it is possible to suppress the effort of changing the design as much as possible as compared with the case of changing the shape of the light emitting means and the lens. Further, since the number of reusable members such as the light emitting unit increases, resource saving can be achieved.

Means 8. A front door is provided that can be opened and closed on the front side of the gaming machine main body having a gaming area, and has a window portion that allows the gaming area to be visually recognized,

  According to the means 8, the decorativeness of the front surface of the gaming machine can be improved. Even if the frame of the front door is slimmed down, the light emitting unit disposed on the front door must be reduced by adopting the above-mentioned light emitter unit as the electrical decoration applied to the front door. It is possible to avoid the fear that the light emitting means cannot be provided, or the possibility that the light emitting means cannot be disposed in the narrowed portion. For this reason, it is possible to avoid the possibility that the decorativeness due to light is reduced due to slimming of the frame portion of the front door.

Means 9. A game board having a game area on the front side where a game ball fired by a predetermined launching unit is guided, and a variable display device provided on the game board and performing a variable display based on a predetermined opportunity,

  According to the means 9, it is possible to improve the decoration of the game area, in particular, the periphery of the variable display device (for example, the center frame). In recent years, the game area has been expanded along with the expansion of the variable display device. However, unless the game machine itself is enlarged, the expansion is limited (however, the game machine is related to the installation space of the hall). Top, size is limited). In other words, the game area except for the variable display device tends to be reduced. For example, in a pachinko machine that causes a game ball to flow down to the game area, a sufficient flow path cannot be secured, which may lead to a decrease in interest. There is. Therefore, it is difficult to secure a space for lighting the peripheral portion of the variable display device, and it is difficult to excite the game together with the effects in the display unit of the variable display device. In this regard, by adopting the above-mentioned light emitter unit as an electric decoration to be applied to the peripheral portion of the variable display device, light emission can be achieved without taking up much installation space (without reducing the game area excluding the variable display device). Means can be placed to shine. As a result, it is possible to avoid the possibility that the decorativeness due to light is reduced due to the enlargement of the variable display device.
