Medium door ID, at the right edge, and is rotatably supported in the front-rear direction to the right edge of the assembly frame 11 of the gaming machine main unit PB, so as to be opened and closed before after direction gaming board 12 It is I Do not. As a result, the inner door ID covers the game board 12 by closing and opens the game board 12 forward by opening.

  The middle door ID includes a middle frame 51, a transparent glass plate 52 fitted to the middle frame 51, and a decorative plate 53 attached to the upper part of the middle frame 51 from behind ( (See FIG. 3). Here, the middle frame 51 is supported by the right edge (corresponding to the right edge of the middle door ID) at the right edge of the assembly frame 11 so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, when the middle door ID is closed, the glass plate 52 of the middle door ID is parallel to the board surface 12a of the game board 12 at the rear surface. This means that the gap between the rear surface of the glass plate 52 and the board surface 12a is uniform. However, the gap between the rear surface of the glass plate 52 and the board surface 12a is set to a gap that does not cause ball engagement, for example, a gap wider than at least the outer diameter of the game ball.

  The front door FD is at the right edge of the right side of the skeletal structure part B1 (in other words, the casing made up of the corresponding panel part of the skeleton structure part B1 and the panel PN with respect to the skeleton structure part B1) through the middle door ID. It is supported so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction with respect to the edge. The front door FD includes a front frame 61 and a transparent glass plate 62 that is fitted into the hollow portion of the front frame 61 from behind (see FIG. 1).

  Here, the front frame 61 has a skeleton structure part B1 (in other words, a corresponding panel corresponding to the skeleton structure part B1 out of the skeleton structure part B1 and the panel PN) at the right edge part (corresponding to the right edge part of the front door FD). It is supported by the right edge of the housing | casing which consists of a part so that rotation in the front-back direction is possible. Thus, when the front door FD is closed, the front door FD covers the middle door ID and is positioned opposite to the glass plate 52 by the glass plate 62. Further, when the front door FD is opened, the middle door ID is opened forward.

Further, as illustrated in any of FIGS. 1 to 5, the front frame 61 has a sphere storage portion 61 a in the lower portion thereof, and the sphere storage portion 61 a has a predetermined number of pieces therein. Enclosed by storing the game balls. Accordingly, each game ball stored in the ball storage section 61a is sequentially sent to the ball launching mechanism 13 (see FIG. 5) assembled to the lower part of the assembly frame 11 as the operation handle H is turned. fired to the ball firing mechanism 13 of the hitting hammer struck by (not shown) by launching rails (not shown) and a guide rail 12b and via play area 1 in 2c.

Then, either this way game ball that is launched into the game region 1 within 2c is ball entrance to one of the start chucker various other board parts rolling downwards along the board 12a of the game board 12, or out When the game ball is discharged from the mouth (not shown), the game ball is again returned and stored in the ball storage unit 61a.

  This means that each game ball in the ball storage unit 61a circulates so as to return to the ball storage unit 61a again through the ball launching mechanism 13, the guide rail 12b, the board surface parts, and the out port. Each game ball in the ball storage unit 61a is visible through an inclined transparent front surface below the front frame 61. The operation handle H is supported at the lower right corner of the front frame 61. Further, the locking device K is formed at an intermediate portion in the vertical direction in the left edge portion of the skeleton structure portion B1 (in other words, a casing made up of a corresponding panel portion of the skeleton structure portion B1 and the panel PN with respect to the skeleton structure portion B1). A key (not shown) is inserted into the keyhole part (not shown), and the front door FD is connected to the front door FD via the middle door ID and includes a panel part corresponding to the skeleton structure part B1 of the skeleton structure part B1 and the panel PN. It is configured to lock the body or unlock the lock.

As shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, the effect device S includes a casing made up of the skeleton structure portion B2 and the corresponding panel portion, an audio generator S1, and an effect indicator (not shown) .

As shown in FIG. 2, the sound generator S1 is disposed in the lower portion of the skeleton structure portion B2. Further, the Starring output indicator is assembled to the upper portion of the skeletal structure portion B2, the effect display device, the at the liquid crystal panel S3 (see FIG. 1), and faces the front of the performance apparatus S.

Thus, in the recirculating pachinko gaming machine P, for example, the directing device S is an effect display or a voice display in place of a big hit lottery or a payout of the game ball in the case of a big win, for example, when a game ball is awarded to the start chucker. and performs the display or sound generator S1 out above Starring.

  Thereby, in the game by the circulation type pachinko gaming machine P, various effects for the big hit lottery and the payout accompanying the big hit are not performed, and the directing game ball is simply circulated as described above. By performing the above-mentioned various effects, it is possible to improve the playability of the circulating pachinko gaming machine.

  In the present embodiment configured as described above, the pachinko gaming unit is installed as follows, for example, at an event venue.

  Here, it is assumed that the pachinko gaming unit is carried into the event venue. However, the assembling frame 11 is assembled to the skeleton structure portion B1 so that the game board 12 is inclined backward by a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the bottom wall of the skeleton structure portion B1 from the lower edge portion to the upper edge portion on the board surface. It shall be.

  In the present embodiment, the predetermined inclination angle of the board surface of the game board 12 is introduced on the basis of the following.

  Normally, in pachinko machines, in order for the rolling of game balls to be made reliably along the board surface of the game board, the board surface of the game board extends backward from the installation surface from its lower edge to the upper edge. It is desirable to be inclined.

  Therefore, also in this embodiment, on the assumption that the installation surface is a horizontal plane, the bottom wall of the skeletal structure portion B1 standing on the installation surface is located in parallel to the installation surface. The predetermined inclination angle is set at a small angle required for the rolling of the game ball to be reliably performed along the board surface of the game board.

  First, the pachinko gaming unit thus carried in is transported and set up on the installation surface of the event venue.

  At the present stage, the installation surface is inclined from the rear to the front of the pachinko gaming unit.

  In this case, the pachinko gaming unit is erected on the installation surface in a state where the pachinko gaming unit is inclined forward according to the forward inclination degree of the installation surface. Accordingly, the skeletal structure B is also erected on the installation surface in a state of being inclined forward.

  In such a standing state, the height adjustment element B4 on each of the front, rear, left and right sides eliminates the inclination of the skeletal structure portion B1 in accordance with the degree of inclination of the installation surface. Adjust the height of the front, rear, left and right corners from the installation surface. As a result, the height of the skeletal structure B can be adjusted to be substantially horizontal at the bottom wall.

  However, as described above, the assembly frame 11 has a skeleton so that the game board 12 is inclined backward by a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the bottom wall of the skeleton structure part B1 from the lower edge part to the upper edge part on the board surface. Even if it is assembled to the structure part B1, the predetermined angle of the board surface of the game board 12 is a small angle as described above. Therefore, the height adjustment by the height adjusting elements B4 on the front, rear, left and right sides as described above is performed. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately adjust the board surface of the game board 12 to the predetermined inclination angle with respect to the horizontal direction on the assumption that the board surface is inclined forward as described above.

  For this reason, the inclination angle of the board surface of the game board 12 is finely adjusted as follows to become the predetermined inclination angle with respect to the horizontal direction as follows.

  First, the front door FD is opened. Then, in the tilt angle adjusting mechanism 40, when the tightening of the adjusting screws 43, 44 with respect to the left and right arm plate portions 42c, 42d is loosened, the assembly frame 11 is below the left and right arms of the tilt angle adjusting mechanism 40. It can move in the front-rear direction with respect to the plate portions 42c and 42d. Accordingly, the assembly frame 11 is supported by the tilt support mechanism 20 so as to be tiltable in the front-rear direction with respect to the skeleton structure portion B1. Note that the lower plate member 42 of the tilt angle adjusting mechanism 40 is supported by the front lower wall portion B1c so as not to move.

  In such a state, the lower portion of the assembly frame 11 is placed against the left and right arm plate portions 42c and 42d of the tilt angle adjusting mechanism 40 so that the board surface of the game board 12 maintains the predetermined tilt angle with respect to the horizontal direction. Move and adjust in the front-rear direction. This movement adjustment is performed by moving and adjusting both adjustment screws 43 and 44 in the front and rear directions in the elongated holes 42e and 42f of the left and right arm plate portions 42c and 42d (the solid line and the illustration shown in FIG. 7). (See dashed line).

  Thus, when the board surface of the game board 12 is maintained at the predetermined inclination angle with respect to the horizontal direction, the two adjusting screws 43 and 44 are fastened again to the left and right arm plate portions 42c and 42d. Thereby, since the installation surface is inclined from the rear to the front as described above, even if the skeleton structure portion B1 is inclined to the front, the board surface of the game board 12 is the predetermined inclination with respect to the horizontal direction. It can be accurately adjusted to maintain the angle.

  In addition, when the pachinko gaming unit is erected on the installation surface in the event venue as described above, the game board 12 of the circulating pachinko gaming machine P rises from its lower edge on the board surface. Even if it is not assembled to the skeleton structure part B1 via the assembly frame 11 so as to incline backward by the predetermined inclination angle with respect to the bottom wall of the skeleton structure part B1 over the edge, In the same manner as described above, the height of the corner portion from the installation surface is adjusted according to the degree of inclination of the installation surface by the height adjustment element B4 on each side of the front, rear, left, and right sides. Adjust to eliminate the forward tilt.

  Thereafter, in the same manner as described above, the inclination of the board surface of the game board 12 is adjusted by the inclination angle adjusting mechanism 40 so that the board surface of the game board 12 maintains the predetermined inclination angle with respect to the horizontal direction. Also by this, since the installation surface is inclined from the rear to the front as described above, even if the skeleton structure portion B1 is inclined forward, the board surface of the game board 12 is in the predetermined direction with respect to the horizontal direction. It can be accurately adjusted to maintain the tilt angle.

  In addition, unlike the above-mentioned, when the said installation surface inclines from the front to back, the said pachinko game unit will be erected on the said installation surface so that it may incline back. Even in such a case, in the same manner as described above, the inclination of the board surface of the game board 12 is accurately adjusted by the inclination angle adjustment mechanism 40 so that the board surface of the game board 12 maintains the predetermined inclination angle with respect to the horizontal direction. Can be adjusted well.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the state where the pachinko gaming unit is erected on the installation surface, the inclination of the skeleton structure part B1 is changed according to the inclination of the installation surface forward or backward, left, right, left, and right. In a state where the height adjustment element B4 on each side substantially eliminates the height, and then the assembly frame 11 is supported so as to be tiltable in the front-rear direction by the tilt support mechanism 20 from the upper part of the skeleton structure portion B1. The lower part of the assembly frame 11 is finely adjusted in the front-rear direction by the inclination angle adjustment mechanism 40 so that the board surface of the game board 12 maintains the predetermined inclination angle with respect to the horizontal direction.

  Here, as described above, when the angle of the board surface of the game board 12 is finely adjusted, the assembly frame 11 is supported on the upper part of the skeleton structure portion B1 together with the game board 12 so as to be tiltable in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the above-described fine adjustment with respect to the board surface of the game board 12 can be easily performed.

  According to the above, even if the installation surface is inclined in the front-rear direction of the circulating pachinko gaming machine P of the pachinko gaming unit, the board surface of the game board 12 maintains the predetermined inclination angle with respect to the horizontal direction. The inclination of the board surface of the game board 12 can be adjusted with high accuracy.

  As a result, in the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine P, the gaming ball can roll along the board surface of the gaming board 12 with certainty.

  Further, even if the angle of the board surface of the game board 12 is adjusted as described above, since the middle door ID is kept closed, the middle door ID covers the game board 12 from the board surface 12a side. For this reason, even if the front door FD is opened, it is not possible to directly touch game nails provided on the board surface 12a and various board parts. Therefore, even if the front door FD is opened, it is possible to prevent an illegal act on the game nail and the board component.

  Further, as described above, if the middle door ID is supported by the assembly frame 11 between the front door FD and the game board 12, and the middle door ID is maintained in a closed state, the middle door ID As described above, the glass plate 52 of the door ID is maintained in parallel with the board surface 12a so that it has at least a gap larger than the outer diameter of the game ball as described above with the board surface 12a of the game board 12. The

  Thus, if the middle door ID is supported by the assembly frame 11 between the front door FD and the game board 12, and the middle door ID is maintained in a closed state, the glass plate 52 is then The surface is maintained parallel to the board surface 12a of the game board 12.

  Therefore, as described above, even when the board surface 12a of the game board 12 is tilted in the front-rear direction in the state where the assembly frame 11 is supported from the upper part of the skeleton structure part B1 so as to be tiltable in the front-rear direction, the glass 12 The parallel state of the board 52 with respect to the game board 12 can always be maintained without fluctuation.

  Moreover, as described above, a gap that is at least wider than the outer diameter of the game ball set between the rear surface of the glass plate 52 and the board surface 12a of the game board 12 as described above passes through the board surface 12a of the game board 12 in the front-rear direction. Even if it is tilted, it can be maintained without fluctuation.

  As a result, the gap between the glass plate 52 of the middle door ID and the game board 12 is uniformly maintained so that the ball is not bitten, and the game ball is placed between the glass plate 52 and the game board 12. The ball can be smoothly rolled along the board surface 12a of the game board 12 without causing a ball bite.

  Since the corresponding part of the middle door ID with respect to the game board 12 is the transparent glass plate 52, the board surface of the game board 12 can be easily visually recognized through the glass plate 62 and the glass plate 52 of the front door FD. Therefore, the player can easily visually recognize the surface of the game board 12, so that there is no problem in the game.

  Further, as described above, the front door FD has, at the right edge thereof, the right side of the skeleton structure part B1 (in other words, the casing made up of the corresponding panel part of the skeleton structure part B1 and the panel PN with respect to the skeleton structure part B1). The middle door ID is supported by the right edge of the assembly frame 11 so as to be pivotable in the front-rear direction.

  In other words, each of the front door FD and the middle door ID corresponds to the skeleton structure portion B1 (in other words, the skeleton structure portion B1 and the skeleton structure portion B1 in the panel PN at the same side edge portion of each right edge portion). It is supported by the right edge part of the housing | casing which consists of a panel site | part) and the right edge part of the assembly | attachment frame 11 so that rotation in the front-back direction is possible.

  Therefore, the front door FD and the middle door ID both rotate in the same direction, that is, the direction from the left side to the right side when opening. For this reason, when the front door FD and the middle door ID are closed, the front door FD and the middle door ID rotate in the same direction opposite to the same direction, that is, the direction from the right side to the left side. As a result, the front door FD and the middle door ID can be opened and closed smoothly without interfering with each other when opening and closing.

  As described above, the front door FD and the middle door ID both turn from the left side to the right side or from the right side to the left side when opening and closing. Therefore, even if the rendering device S is integrally provided on the left side of the circulation pachinko gaming machine P, the front door FD and the middle door ID can be smoothly opened and closed without interfering with the rendering device S.

  Further, as described above, the front door FD and the middle door ID both turn in the same direction, that is, the direction from the left side to the right side when opened, so that the upper left corner of the game board 12 The nearby space can be widened. As a result, it is possible to easily adjust the game nails driven in at the upper left corner of the game board 12.

  Here, since the rendering device S is provided integrally with the circulating pachinko gaming machine P so as to face the right front of the circulating pachinko gaming machine P diagonally at the front surface thereof, the circulating pachinko gaming machine The left front space of P becomes narrow due to the effect device S.

  However, as described above, the front door FD and the middle door ID are both rotated in the same direction, that is, in the direction from the left side to the right side when opened, so that the presence of the effect device S is also present. The space near the upper left corner of the game board 12 can be widened. As a result, regardless of the presence of the effect device S, it is possible to easily adjust the game nail that is driven in the upper left corner of the game board 12.
