JP 2001-321528 A JP 2006-095192 A JP 20062303063 A

  However, as shown in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, when the game board is used as a transparent plate and the game medium received in the receiving port as in the past is guided to the rear side of the game board and discharged, The game medium accepted at the entrance, that is, the game medium not related to the game, can be seen by the player, which may give the player a sense of incongruity and reduce the interest in the game. Therefore, it is conceivable that the game medium received at the receiving port is guided to the rear side of the effect display device and discharged to make the discharged game medium invisible. There is a problem that it is necessary to make a through hole through which the game medium can pass in the effect display device, which increases the cost of the effect display device.

  Therefore, in the gaming machines shown in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, the above-described problems are solved by arranging the reception port in a game area below the effect display device. However, in this case, the entrances are concentrated in the lower part of the game area, and the area to be aimed by the player is limited, so that the movement of the game medium is likely to be monotonous, and there is a variety of game media driving. There is a problem that the interest is reduced.

  On the other hand, in conventional gaming machines as shown in Patent Document 1, decorations such as characters and logos, such as characters and logos, or decorations such as patterns and patterns are applied to the surface of the gaming board. By sticking a sheet, it is designed to characterize the type of gaming machine, so it is flat and does not emit light or move, and it has a similar design with low design freedom Since it is easy, it is difficult to make a difference with respect to other gaming machines, and it is difficult to attract a player strongly. Therefore, the game board is a transparent plate, and a decorative body characterizing the model is arranged on the rear side of the game board, and the game medium received in the receiving port is guided to the rear side of the decorative body and discharged. It is conceivable to make the game media inconspicuous and differentiate it from other models so that the player's interest is strongly attracted. However, in this case, since the flow path for guiding the game medium extends from the rear side of the receiving port toward the decorative body, the space on the rear side of the game board is divided by the flow path member that forms the flow path. It is difficult for the decorative body to be seen by the flow path member, or the desired decorative body cannot be arranged by the flow path member, and it becomes a gaming machine that does not change from the conventional gaming machine, and the player's interest May not be able to attract.

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of attracting the player's interest and suppressing the interest in the game from decreasing.

It is characterized by that.

  Here, the “game panel” may be a transparent plate, and the materials thereof are “acrylic resin”, “polycarbonate resin”, “ABS resin”, “polypropylene”, “polyarylate resin”, “methacrylic resin”. ”,“ Glass ”, and the like. In addition, it is desirable to use an acrylic resin as the game panel, and this acrylic resin has higher transparency than other transparent members and directing means (for example, an accessory, movable, etc.) disposed on the rear side of the game panel. It is possible to make it easier to see an accessory, a movable decorative body, a light emitting decorative body, an effect display means, and the like.

  In addition, the “accepting entrance” is “a winning slot that allows a predetermined number of gaming media to be paid out when the gaming media can be received at all times and triggered by the receiving of the gaming media (for example, a general winning slot, a starting slot, etc.) "Variable winning opening with a pair of movable pieces that can be expanded, and the probability of accepting game media changes by opening and closing the pair of movable pieces (for example, electric tulips, variable start openings, etc.)" When the game is in a closed state such as a big hit game, a big prize opening provided with an opening and closing member that opens and closes in a predetermined pattern is given. The “starting port” is a type of entrance where a predetermined lottery result is drawn by accepting game media, and “a game media can be accepted at all times”, “game media within a game area” A lottery of a lottery result when a predetermined area (for example, a gate, a through chucker, a warp passage, etc.) is passed, and game media can be received or cannot be received based on the result of the normal lottery. Is mentioned.

  Furthermore, as “the opening extending in the predetermined direction along the panel surface”, “the opening extends in the left-right direction”, “the opening extends in the up-down direction”, and “the opening extends in the oblique direction” , “The opening extends from the center side of the gaming area to the vicinity of the outer periphery”, “the opening extends from the center side of the gaming area to the outside of the gaming area”, and the like.

  In addition, the “guidance path portion where at least a part is inserted and arranged in the opening portion” means “the guidance path portion is disposed within the thickness of the gaming panel, and the rear surface of the guidance path portion is behind the rear surface of the gaming panel. "The width of the guide path portion in the front-rear direction is about 1 to 1.5 times the thickness of the game panel, and the rear face of the guide path portion slightly differs from the rear surface of the game panel ( For example, 1 mm to 8 mm, which is smaller than the diameter of the game ball, and a protruding state ”are included.

  Furthermore, “to hold the gaming panel so as to be detachable” includes “an engagement portion that is provided with engaging portions on at least two substantially opposite sides of the gaming panel and that engages with the engaging portion of the gaming panel on the panel holder. ”And“ removably holding by engaging the engaging portion and the engaged portion ”,“ perforating an insertion hole at an appropriate position of the game panel, and inserting a screw or the like through the insertion hole What is detachably held by being screwed into the panel holder ". Furthermore, the depth of the “holding step portion” is “the step portion whose depth is such that the front surface of the game panel and the front surface of the panel holder are substantially flush with each other”, and “the front surface of the game panel is more than the front surface of the panel holder. A stepped portion having a depth that is a deep position ”.

  In addition, as “production means”, “decorative bodies with a three-dimensional decoration (including light-emitting ornamental bodies, movable decorative bodies, etc.)”, “flow paths through which game media that can be involved in games can be distributed. For example, “a display device that can display a predetermined effect image”, “a decorative plate that is decorated with a predetermined pattern or pattern”, and the like.

  According to the configuration of the means 1, a game area into which a game medium is driven by a player's operation on the gaming machine, a frame-shaped front structural member that defines an outer periphery of the game area and has an outer rail and an inner rail, A transparent plate-like gaming panel disposed on the rear side of the component member, defining a rear end of the gaming area, penetrating in the front-rear direction and having an opening extending in a predetermined direction along the panel surface; An entrance capable of receiving game media placed on the front side and placed in the game area, guided by the guide unit for guiding the game media received at the entrance to the rear side of the front side of the game panel A guide path part that guides the game medium substantially along the surface of the game panel and at least a part of the game medium is inserted and arranged in the opening, and a discharge part that discharges the game medium guided by the guide path part to the rear side of the game panel; At least A receiving member that is supported by the gaming panel, a holding step portion that detachably holds the gaming panel from the front side, and a through hole that is formed inside the holding step portion and has a size substantially corresponding to the gaming area. A frame-shaped panel holder to which a front component member is attached on the front side, and is supported on the rear side of the panel holder, arranged so as to cover at least the rear side of the receiving member, and visible to the player through the game panel The game board provided with the production means is provided.

  As a result, when the game medium driven into the game area is received in the receiving port of the receiving member, the game medium is guided in a predetermined direction along the panel surface by the guide path portion inserted and arranged in the opening of the gaming panel. It is designed to be discharged to the rear side of the game panel from the discharge portion of the reception member, and the space on the rear side of the game panel is not divided by the reception member, so the space on the rear side of the game panel Production means that can be enlarged as much as possible as one space and exhibits desired effects such as a three-dimensional decoration effect, a movable production effect by movement, and a light production effect by light emission on the rear side of the transparent game panel Can be arranged without any problem, and it is possible to suppress the interest of the player from being strongly attracted by the directing means and to reduce the interest in the game.

  In addition, the guide path for guiding the received game medium is inserted and arranged in the opening of the game panel, so that the amount of protrusion of the receiving member on the rear surface of the game panel can be reduced as much as possible. A movable decorative body, a movable accessory, etc. can be arranged without any problem as a production means that the rear side of the reception port is also within the movable range. In other words, it is possible to arrange a stage with a wide movable range (movable decorative body or movable accessory) on the rear side of the transparent gaming panel, so that the gaming machine has an impression different from that of the conventional gaming machine. It is possible to attract the player's interest strongly, and it is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the game in this gaming machine and suppress the decrease in the interest in the game.

  Further, the game medium received at the receiving port is guided along the panel surface of the game panel by the guide path portion and then discharged to the rear side of the game panel. It is possible to arrange a reception port on the front side of the effect display means without drilling a through-hole through which the medium can pass, and it is possible to use a general commercial product effect display means. An increase in cost can be suppressed. In addition, since the entrance can be easily arranged on the front side of the effect display means, that is, the entrance can be arranged at an arbitrary position in the game area, the layout of the entrance and the like in the game area can be varied. It is possible to make it a gaming machine that can attract the interest of the player, and to suppress the excitement to the game by making it difficult to get bored as a gaming machine that can enjoy the movement of the gaming media Can do.

  In addition, since the game panel is made of a transparent plate and predetermined presentation means are arranged on the rear side thereof, as compared with the conventional game machine shown in Patent Document 1, the front of the game panel is decorated. , It becomes possible to shift the player's line of sight to the production means farther away from the player side than the front of the game panel, and it becomes myopic as in the past, causing eyeball fatigue early and reducing the interest in the game Can be suppressed. Also, at first glance, the directing means placed behind the gaming panel can be seen, so that the feeling of pressure as in a conventional gaming machine can be reduced and the gaming board surface can have a sense of depth, and a visual open feeling It is possible to expect an effect of relieving a player's stress as a high-priced gaming machine, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in games due to stress.

  In addition, it is desirable to make it impossible for the player to visually recognize the game medium flowing through the guide path portion in the receiving member, and as a result, the game medium that is no longer involved in the game by being received in the receiving port is the player. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable and to suppress the interest in the game from being lowered.

  By the way, in the conventional gaming machines as shown in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, a large effect display means arranged on the rear side of the transparent gaming panel, such as a character or logo characterizing the model of the gaming machine. The design or pattern is displayed as a decorative image, and when the decorative image is displayed as a moving image, the game medium or the decorative image becomes difficult to see due to the movement of the game medium distributed in front of the effect display means. Occurs. Therefore, since the decoration image is normally displayed as a still image, it becomes a game board surface that does not look different from a conventional gaming machine with decoration on the front face of the gaming board as shown in Patent Document 1, and a gaming panel The effect of using a transparent plate could not be sufficiently obtained, and it was difficult to attract the player strongly. However, according to the present means, by using a three-dimensional accessory or decorative body as the predetermined presentation means arranged on the rear side of the transparent game panel, a moving picture is displayed on the presentation display means as in the past. Compared to this, it is possible to prevent the game media circulating in the front side from being difficult to see, to enjoy the movement of the game media circulating in the game area, and to characterize the model of the gaming machine by the production means This game machine can be selected as a gaming machine that plays with an increased appeal to the player.

  In addition, a game board having a game area can be divided into a game panel, a panel holder, a front component member, a production means, and the like. Since the game panel whose position such as the entrance is changed and the production means can be used as replacement parts and the other panel holder and the previous component can be used as common parts, only the game panel and the production means can be exchanged. It can be set as the gaming machine provided with the game board which can respond to various models.

  The thickness of the panel holder is set to a thickness (18 to 21 mm, preferably about 19 mm) corresponding to the thickness of the wooden plywood part in the conventional game board, and the thickness of the game panel is set to the thickness of the panel holder. It is desirable that the thickness is about 8 to 10 mm, which is about half the thickness. In detail, there are fears that the obstacle nail cannot be satisfactorily held when the thickness is less than 8 mm due to the planting of many obstacle nails in the game panel, and the thickness is more than 10 mm. This is because even if it is thick, the holding of the obstacle nail is not improved, and the weight of the game panel is increased more than necessary. Thereby, the thickness of the panel holder and game panel which consist of transparent plates (resin etc.) can be optimized.

  In addition, since the gaming panel is detachably held on the holding step portion of the panel holder and is not bonded and fixed, it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of assembly steps for assembling the gaming panel and the panel holder. In addition, since the game panel and the panel holder can be easily attached and detached, it is possible to simplify the labor involved in disassembly during assembly and disposal.

  Furthermore, since the game panel is held by the holding step portion of the panel holder, the game panel can be accommodated within the thickness of the panel holder, and the game board can be divided into a game panel, a panel holder, a front component member, and the like. Even in the configuration, it is possible to suppress an increase in the thickness. Therefore, since the game board can be made to be approximately the same size as the existing one, the parts other than the game board in the gaming machine can be made common with the existing one and placed on the existing production line. It is possible to suppress an increase in manufacturing costs.

Means 2: In the constitution of means 1,
“The receiving member is
It further includes an opaque closing portion that abuts against the front surface of the game panel and closes the opening portion ”.

  By the way, since the game panel and the receiving member are separate members, from the viewpoint of assembly of the gaming panel and the receiving member, the guide path for the receiving member that is inserted into the opening of the gaming panel is likely. The part is generally formed so that its outer shape is smaller than the inner shape of the opening. Therefore, since a predetermined gap is formed between the opening of the gaming panel and the guide path, the player can see the cloudy inner peripheral end surface of the opening of the gaming panel through the gap, and the design of the gaming machine There is a problem that the performance decreases. In addition, a groove is formed in the game area by the gap between the opening and the guide path, and the game medium flowing through the game area is guided by the groove, and the game medium moves unexpectedly. Depending on the player, this may cause irritation, distrust, etc., which may reduce the interest of the game.

  According to the configuration of the means 2, the receiving member is further provided with an opaque closing portion that abuts the front surface of the game panel and closes the opening.

  As a result, the front side of the opening is closed by the opaque closing portion of the receiving member, so that the cloudy inner peripheral end surface of the opening in the game panel can be blocked from being seen from the player side, and the design of the gaming machine It is possible to prevent a decline in performance and to make a gaming machine that attracts the player's interest. In addition, the opaque closing part can prevent the player from seeing the guide path part from the player side, and it is possible to prevent the player from seeing a game medium that is not related to the game flowing through the guide path part. It can suppress that it falls.

  Further, since the groove formed between the opening and the guide path portion can be closed by the closing portion, it is possible to prevent the game medium circulating in the game area from moving unexpectedly by the groove. It is possible to prevent the player from becoming irritated or distrusted by unexpected movement of the game medium, and to suppress a decrease in interest in the game.

Means 3: In the constitution of means 1 or means 2,
“The game board
The opening of the gaming panel is formed to extend from the center side of the gaming panel to the vicinity of the outer periphery; and
The guide path portion is arranged so that the receiving member is disposed at a center side of the opening portion in the gaming panel and the game medium is guided to an outer peripheral side of the opening portion in the gaming panel. It is formed ".

  According to the configuration of the means 3, the opening portion of the gaming panel is formed so as to extend from the center side of the gaming panel to the vicinity of the outer periphery, and the guide path portion of the receiving member is formed on the center side of the gaming panel of the opening portion. The game medium is formed to be guided from the arranged receiving port to the outer peripheral side of the game panel.

  Thus, the game medium received at the receiving port is guided to the outer periphery of the game panel along the panel surface of the game panel by the guide path portion, that is, near the outer periphery of the game area, and then discharged to the rear side of the game panel. Therefore, it becomes possible to prevent the game medium from being discharged at the middle part in the game area and to make the rear side of the game panel usable as widely as possible. It is possible to differentiate with other gaming machines by arranging production means etc. with a wide range of motion, and to suppress the interest in the game from being reduced by attracting the player's interest strongly with the provided production means Can do.

  In addition, the opening of the game panel extends to the vicinity of the outer periphery. In other words, since the opening is closed without being opened to the outer periphery of the gaming panel, the outer periphery of the gaming panel is in a continuous state, and even if the opening is formed, the strength and rigidity of the gaming panel is reduced. Can be prevented.

Means 4: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 3,
“The game board
It further includes an effect display means that is supported on the rear side of the panel holder and is visible from the player side through the game panel and capable of displaying a predetermined effect image according to the gaming state. It is characterized by.

  Here, examples of “effect display means” include “liquid crystal display device”, “EL display device”, “plasma display device”, “CRT”, “laser display”, and the like. In addition, it is desirable to use a thin display means such as a liquid crystal display device, it becomes possible to take the depth direction of the gaming machine relatively wide, for example, by increasing the depth (depth) of the back box, It is possible to arrange a production means such as a three-dimensional decorative body or an accessory. The display screen of the effect display means is “visible through the game panel from the player”, “what is visible through the transparent game panel”, “through the game panel of a size corresponding to the effect display means” "Opening window to be formed and visible through the opening window", "The gaming panel is a transparent plate, and an opening window penetrating the gaming panel is formed and visible through the transparent gaming panel and the opening window." And the like ".

  The “effect image” includes “effect image related to opening / closing of the prize winning opening according to the start winning prize”, “effect image displayed when winning the game medium in the prize winning prize opening”, “to the V entrance” "Effect image by accepting", "In accordance with the lottery result related to the start winning, a variation display of a plurality of symbol sequences is started, and is sequentially stopped, and a game lottery is performed by a combination of symbols in the stopped symbol sequence An effect image that suggests the result (for example, a symbol variation effect image) ”,“ a symbol that is stopped and displayed at the end in a state where a combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed with one symbol sequence satisfied a predetermined condition Effect image (for example, reach effect image, reach development effect image, etc.) ”,“ effect image displayed according to gaming state (for example, standby effect image, small hit game effect image, jackpot game effect image) ,etc ", And the like.

  By the way, in the conventional gaming machine as shown in Patent Document 1, the effect image of the effect display means arranged on the rear side can be seen through the opening window formed in the opaque game panel, and a larger effect image can be obtained. When the opening window of the game panel is enlarged so as to be displayed, the flow area where the game medium can actually flow down in the game area becomes relatively narrow, and the movement of the game medium flowing down in the game area becomes monotonous. Therefore, there is a problem that the fun of the game medium, which is an original pleasure as a game machine using the game medium, is less interesting, and the player cannot be entertained and the interest is lowered.

  According to the configuration of the means 4, the effect display means which is supported on the game board on the rear side of the panel holder and is visible from the player side through the game panel and can display a predetermined effect image according to the game state. Furthermore, it is intended to be provided.

  As a result, the effect image is displayed according to the game state, so that not only the movement of the game medium but also the effect by the effect image can be enjoyed, and it is suppressed that the game is less tired and the interest in the game is reduced. can do. In addition, since the effect image of the effect display means can be viewed through the transparent game panel, the display screen of the effect display means and the game area where the game medium is distributed can be made independent, It is possible to display a larger effect image without narrowing the game area, to entertain the player with a larger powerful effect image, and to fully enjoy the movement of the game medium in the game area. It is possible to suppress the interest of the game from decreasing.

Means 5: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 4,
“The game board
It has a box shape with an open front side and is capable of supporting the effect means inside, and further includes a back box attached to the rear side of the panel holder.

  According to the structure of the means 5, the game board is further provided with a back box which is formed in a box shape with the front side opened and which can support the production means inside and which is attached to the rear side of the panel holder. is there. That is, the effect means is supported on the rear side of the panel holder through the back box.

  Thereby, the presentation means can be easily supported at a predetermined position simply by attaching the back box provided with the presentation means to the rear side of the panel holder, and the assembly of the gaming machine can be simplified. In addition, since the production means is provided in the box-shaped back box, it is possible to prevent at least dust and dust from entering the back box from the rear side of the game board. It is possible to prevent the game from being interrupted due to dirt or malfunction caused by adhering to the means, and to suppress the decrease in the interest of the player by playing the game. it can.

Means 6: In the configuration of means 5,
"The back box
An opening having a predetermined shape is formed in the rear wall so that a predetermined effect image displayed on the effect display unit and closed on the rear wall is visible from the player side. The effect display means is detachably supported ".

  According to the structure of the means 6, an opening having a predetermined shape is formed on the rear wall of the back box so as to be closed by the effect display means and to make the effect image visible from the player side. The effect display means is detachably supported.

  Thereby, since the effect display means is supported on the rear side of the back box formed in the box shape, the depth of the back box is between the display screen of the effect display means and the rear surface of the transparent game panel. A wide space having substantially the same depth as (the depth in the front-rear direction) can be formed on the rear side of the game panel. And since the effect means is arranged in this wide space, the effect means that strongly attracts the player's interest, such as a three-dimensional effect means with a depth and an effect means with a large amount of movement in the horizontal and vertical directions. This game machine can be selected as a game machine to be differentiated from other game machines, and it is possible to entertain the game machine and suppress a decrease in interest in games. can do. The depth of the back box is preferably in the range of 20 mm to 150 mm (desirably 50 mm to 100 mm), and this can sufficiently secure the moving amount of the rendering means arranged in the back box. At the same time, in addition to being able to enhance the decoration effect and the rendering effect as a three-dimensional rendering means, a gaming machine equipped with this gaming board can be installed in existing island facilities such as a gaming hall without any problems.

  Also, since the effect display means is supported on the rear side of the back box, the display screen of the effect display means is arranged at a predetermined distance (distance of the depth of the back box) behind the game board surface. Become. That is, since the effect display means is arranged at a position farther away from the player than the conventional gaming machine, the focal distance for the effect image is likely to be far away, and the occurrence of eye fatigue is suppressed and the player's interest is enhanced. It can suppress that it falls.

Means 7: In any one configuration from means 1 to means 6,
“A solid and flat horizontal frame made of wood and a vertical frame made of extruded material made of metal and having a predetermined cross-sectional shape. The outer frame is assembled into a rectangular shape by the horizontal frame and the vertical frame and can be fixed to an island facility. Frame,
A front side wall that is pivotally supported by the outer frame so as to be openable and closable and has a depth dimension substantially the same as the combined thickness of the front structural member of the game board and the panel holder, and the rear side of the front side wall A rear projecting portion having a stepped portion that contacts the rear surface of the peripheral portion of the panel holder, extending rearward from the front side wall substantially in parallel with the front side wall and projecting rearward from the panel holder; A main body frame which is formed of a rear side wall having a storable depth dimension and which has at least a game board installation recess for storing the game board;
A game medium tank fixed to the upper part on the back side of the main body frame, and formed so that the rearward projecting positions and rear end sides of all parts of the rear side wall are substantially the same position;

  By the way, by displaying a larger effect image, it is conceivable to increase the power of the displayed effect image and enhance the interest of the player. However, in this case, if the effect image displayed in the game area is enlarged, the basin in which the game medium flows relatively narrows, the movement of the game medium decreases, and the movement becomes monotonous. Depending on the player, there is a risk that the interest in the game will be reduced. Conversely, if the basin where the game medium flows down is widened in order to entertain the movement of the game medium, the display area for displaying the effect image becomes relatively small, and the force of the effect image displayed decreases. At the same time, it is difficult to see the effect image, and the interest of the player in the game may be reduced. Therefore, by increasing the size of the game board itself, even if the display area of the effect image is widened, the basin of the game medium is suppressed from being narrowed so that both the movement of the game medium and the effect image can be enjoyed together. It is possible to do.

  However, in the conventional gaming machine, because the four frames (vertical frame and horizontal frame) constituting the outer frame for installation and fixing to the island facilities such as game halls are all the same thick wooden board, The dimensions of the game board installation recess that stores the game board of the main body frame that is pivotally supported with respect to the inside of the outer frame can be reduced by the thickness of the vertical frame in the outer frame. There is a problem that the game board cannot be made larger.

  Moreover, in the conventional gaming machine, the depth of the game board installation recess of the main body frame is not deep in all areas, but only a part is deep and shallow in other places. As described above, not only the center part on the back side of the game board but also the game board having a large effect display device having a rear projecting part over the peripheral part, and the effect means are supported on the rear side of the panel holder as described above There is a problem that it may not be possible to attach a game board or the like equipped with a back box.

  Further, in the conventional gaming machine, the door frame that covers the front side of the main body frame, or two storage trays for storing game media on the player side are provided below the door frame. It is necessary to design the position of the lower side of the game window for making the game area visible so that the two storage trays need to be provided to some extent above, resulting in the vertical dimension of the game board installation recess. There was a problem that it was also restricted.

  Thus, in conventional gaming machines, there are many elements that limit the dimensions in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the depth direction of the game board installation recess formed in the main body frame, so the game board installed in the game board installation recess The size of the game board was also limited, and it was difficult to increase the size of the game board.

  According to the configuration of the means 7, the gaming machine has a horizontal frame made of solid and solid plate and a vertical frame made of metal and extruded with a predetermined cross-sectional shape, and is assembled into a rectangular shape by the horizontal frame and the vertical frame. An outer frame that can be fixed to the island facility, a front side wall that is pivotally supported by the outer frame so as to be openable and closable, and has a depth that is substantially the same as the combined thickness of the front structural member of the game board and the panel holder, and the front side wall A rear protrusion that has a step portion that contacts the rear surface of the peripheral portion of the panel holder at the rear end portion, extends rearward from the front side wall substantially parallel to the front side wall, and protrudes rearward from the panel holder A main body frame formed with a rear side wall having a depth dimension capable of storing a portion and having a game board installation recess for storing the game board, and fixed to the upper part on the back side of the main body frame, all on the rear side wall The rear projecting position and the rear edge of the part are almost the same position A game medium tank formed on the tank, a tank rail member that guides the game medium in the game medium tank downstream, and is attached to the rear end of the rear side wall of the main body frame, and a game medium supplied from the tank rail member. A payout unit for paying out at least according to the reception of the game medium into the receiving port, a storage part for storing the game medium paid out from the payout unit, and a ball removal mechanism for removing the game medium from the storage part And a door frame that is disposed above the dish unit and has a game window that is visible to the player through a transparent plate and is pivotally supported by the main body frame so as to be opened and closed. And a locking device that locks the door frame and the main body frame, and locks the main body frame and the outer frame, and is fixed to the outside of the front side wall opposite to the side on which the main body frame is pivotally supported. It is intended to provide.

  As a result, the vertical frames arranged on the left and right sides of the outer frame are formed of a metal extrusion mold material, so the size in the left-right direction as viewed from the front of the front side wall of the main body frame facing the inside of the vertical frame is increased. It is possible to widen the left and right dimensions of the game board mounting recess of the main body frame, and thus the left and right dimensions of the game board can be increased, which has a wider game area than before. The game board can attract the player's interest strongly, and the game medium flowing down by a wide game area can be given various movements to entertain the player. It is possible to effectively prevent a player's interest from being lowered by providing production means such as objects.

  Further, the rearward projection amount of all the parts on the rear side wall of the main body frame is substantially the same position as the rear end side of the storage portion for storing the game medium balls of the game medium tank fixed to the upper part on the back side of the main body frame. It is formed to become. In other words, even if the rear protruding part such as the back box attached to the back surface of the panel holder in the game board protrudes over the peripheral part of the game board, the rear side wall for housing the rear protruding part such as the back box is a gaming machine. Since it is formed with substantially the same size as the game medium tank that protrudes greatly on the rear surface side, a game board having a large dimension in the depth direction can be easily stored in the game board installation recess of the main body frame. In other words, since the depth dimension of the game board installation recess in the main body frame can be increased, the rear dimension (depth of the back box) from the panel holder in the game board can be increased, and the inner space of the back box It is possible to provide a gaming machine that can entertain a player and enhance the interest of the player by arranging a larger effect means and a larger effect display means.

  Furthermore, a tank rail member for guiding the game medium from the game medium tank is attached to the rear end of the rear side wall of the main body frame, and the tank rail member or the like does not protrude inside the rear side wall. The space surrounded by the wall can be used as a space for storing the rear protrusions such as the back unit protruding rearward from the panel holder, and the game board can be well stored in the game board installation recess. .

  In addition, since only one tray unit for storing game media paid out from the payout unit is provided on the front surface of the door frame, it is compared with a conventional game machine having two storage trays (dish units). In addition, since the vertical dimension of the gaming window in the door frame can be increased, the gaming area of the gaming board can be reliably visually recognized even when the gaming board with the larger vertical dimension is attached to the main body frame. . In other words, the vertical dimension of the gaming window in the door frame can be made larger than that of the conventional gaming machine, so that the vertical dimension of the gaming board can also be increased, and the gaming area of the gaming board can be enlarged to flow down. A variety of movements can be given to the medium, or a large-scale production means can be arranged to make the gaming machine more entertaining and entertaining.

  Furthermore, since the depth of the game board installation recess can be increased, the depth from the rear side of the panel holder, that is, the depth of the back box (depth of the back box) can be increased. As a result, it is possible to reliably arrange the effect means on the rear side of the game panel, and it is possible to arrange a larger effect means, an effect means that moves over a wide range, etc., compared to the conventional flat game board It becomes possible to provide a game board with a distinctly different appearance, and this game board strongly attracts the player's interest and raises the expectation for the game with this game machine and suppresses the interest from deteriorating. It can be a gaming machine that can.

  In addition, when a game medium is received at the reception port, a predetermined number of game media are paid out from the payout unit, so that the player performs a driving operation aiming at the reception port so that the game medium can be received into the reception port. be able to. Also, at that time, the player pays attention to the entrance, and the rendering means arranged on the rear side of the entrance will enter the field of view, but there is no flow path member that produces the rear side from the entrance, The rear effect means can be visually recognized in a good state, and the desired effect of the effect means can be surely exhibited to prevent the player's interest from being lowered.

The outer frame 2 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 9 to 13. 9 is a front perspective view of the outer frame 2, FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view as seen from the front of the outer frame 2, FIG. 11 is a front view of the outer frame 2, and FIG. FIG. 13 is a rear view of the outer frame 2, and FIG. 13 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 11A, a sectional view taken along line CC in FIG. 13A, and a sectional view taken along line DD. , E-E sectional view (D).

  9 and 10, the outer frame 2 according to the present embodiment is a connection for connecting the upper and lower upper frame plates 10 and 11 and the left and right side frame plates 12 and 13 at their respective ends. It is assembled in a square shape by connecting with the member 19. Specifically, the connecting member 19 is formed in a podium shape with a step between the center and the left and right, and the protruding center part is an engagement notch formed at the center of both ends of the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11. The side frame plates 12, 13 are fitted to the side surfaces of the left and right portions which are fitted to the portion 20, and the back surface of the upper frame plate 10 and the upper surface of the lower frame plate 11 are in contact with the planes of the left and right portions lowered one step. The inner surface of the is in contact.

  The upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 in the present embodiment correspond to the horizontal frame of the present invention, and the left and right side frame plates 12 and 13 of the present example correspond to the vertical frame of the present invention. Yes.

  In that state, the insertion hole 21 and the left and right sides of the connecting member 19 are lowered by one step on both sides of the engagement notch 20 of the upper frame plate 10 and on both sides of the engagement notch 20 of the lower frame plate 11. A plurality of (two in the illustrated case) connecting holes 22 (shown on the connecting member 19 that connects the upper frame plate 10 and the side frame plate 12 in FIG. Are also fixed by a plurality of (two in the illustrated case) connecting screws 23 from above or below, and further, a plurality ( Two (in the illustrated case) mounting holes 24 and a plurality of (three in the illustrated case) connecting holes 25 formed on the side surfaces of the left and right portions of the connecting member 19 that are lowered by one step are aligned to form a plurality (from the lateral outer side). The upper and lower upper frame plates 10 and 10 are fixed by fastening with three connecting screws 26 and 27 in the case of illustration. A lower frame plate 11 and the left and right side frame plates 12 and 13 is firmly coupled and fixed. However, of the three connecting screws 26 and 27, one connecting screw 27 does not connect the side frame plates 12 and 13 and the connecting member 19 but connects the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11. The member 19 is directly connected from the side.

  Of the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 constituting the outer frame 2, the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 are made of the same wood as in the prior art, and the side frame plates 12 and 13. Is made of an extruded plate of a lightweight metal, for example, an aluminum alloy. The reason why the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 are made of the same wood as before is that when the pachinko machine 1 is installed on an island lined up in a game hall, a predetermined angle is given to the vertical plane of the island. Although it is necessary to perform a fixing operation, such an operation is performed by hitting the nail to the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 and the island, so that it is easy to hit the nail. On the other hand, the reason why the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of an aluminum alloy extruded plate is that the thickness of the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be reduced while maintaining the strength as compared with the conventional wood. The lateral width when viewed from the front of the side walls 540 to 543 (see FIG. 23) of the main body frame 3 adjacent to the main frame 3 can be increased. This is because the game board 4 having a large lateral dimension can be mounted on the main body frame 3, and as a result, the game area 605 of the game board 4 can be formed larger.

  If the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of an aluminum alloy flat plate, sufficient rigidity cannot be ensured. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13C, the side frame plate 12 (the side frame plate 13 has the same structure). .) Is formed by drawing so that the thickness h1 of the rear portion is increased by forming a space portion 28 (the space portion 28 of the side frame plate 13 is shown in FIG. 12) opened rearward by a rib. Yes. Of course, the wall thickness h1 is the same as or slightly smaller than the wall thickness of the conventional wood.

A security cover 270 having a security function is also attached to the bottom of the back surface of the glass unit 250. Hereinafter, a more detailed structure of each of the above constituent members constituting the door plate 5 will be described.

<Door frame body>
As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the door frame main body 100 is formed in a frame shape with a synthetic resin, and as described above, the vertically long hexagonal gaming window 101 is formed on the upper portion, and the lower side of the gaming window 101 is It is a plate-like part. A circular speaker opening 102 that penetrates a speaker 163, which will be described later, is formed on the upper left and right of the gaming window 101, and a stopper 254 of a glass unit 250, which will be described later, is locked below the speaker opening 102. A stop lever 108 (see FIG. 15) is rotatably provided. Note that the gaming window 101 according to the present embodiment is attached with the gaming board 4 having larger vertical and horizontal dimensions than conventional gaming windows 101, so the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the gaming window 101 are also increased. Yes. For this reason, the shape of the door frame lens unit 120, which will be described later, is greatly different from that generally known in the art.

  On the other hand, in the plate-like portion below the game window 101, a prize ball passage port 103 through which the prize ball communication rod 451 of the dish unit 300 passes is opened at the upper part on the pivot support side. A lid opening 105 for detaching 406 is opened, and a ball feeding opening 104 for mounting the ball feeding unit 287 is opened at a position adjacent to the opening side of the lid opening 105. Further, a lock hole 106 for allowing the cylinder lock 1010 to pass therethrough is opened closer to the open side.

  Also, a joint unit mounting recess 107 for attaching the joint unit 480 is formed on the back side of the plate-like portion below the ball feed opening 104, and glass is formed on the lower left and right sides of the game window 101 on the back side of the lower plate-like portion. An attachment receiving piece (not shown) for engaging the engaging protrusion 255 of the unit 250 is formed, and an attachment elastic piece 273 (to be described later) of the security cover 270 is attached to the side of the engagement receiving piece. An opening 110 is formed. In addition, an engagement protrusion 111 is formed in the center of the front surface of the plate-like portion so as to be inserted into a guide hole 456 (see FIG. 16) of the dish unit 300 described later. Further, the lower side of the door frame main body 100 is a door frame protruding piece 112 protruding rearward, and as will be described later, the door frame protruding piece 112 and engagement grooves 584 and 585 formed in the main body frame 3 Constitutes the outer ridge and the engaging portion at the lower side portion of the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3.

<Door lens unit>
Next, the structure of the door lens unit 120 attached to the upper part on the front side of the door frame main body 100 will be described. The door lens unit 120 includes a reflector having a front surface as a reflection surface, a cold cathode tube and an LED substrate attached to the front and inside of the reflector, a light-transmissive lens cover 150 covering the front of the reflector, and the lens cover 150. And a lens base body 121 serving as a base of the lens cover 150.

  In the lens cover 150, the upper lens cover portion 151 and the side lens cover portions 156 and 157 in the lens base body 121 are formed of a transparent resin. And since the opening dimension of the game window 101 formed in the door frame main body 100 is formed larger than before, as described above, the dimension between the outer periphery of the door frame main body 100 and the inner periphery of the game window 101. In other words, since the dimensions for attaching the lens cover 150 (particularly the dimensions of the left and right sides) are narrow, the lens cover 150 in this embodiment includes the upper lens cover 151 and the side lens cover. All of the maximum forward projecting portions of the portions 156 and 157 have a wedge-shaped cross section in which the projecting size projecting forward is larger than the base size (the width size of the portion contacting the door frame body 100). ing. More specifically, the upper lens cover portion 151 and the side lens cover portions 156 and 157 are both formed as a white lens portion with a wedge-shaped front bulging portion formed of a synthetic resin, and the lower end portion of the white lens portion. A red lens portion formed of synthetic resin with different coloring is connected to the inside of the gaming window 101 to be bordered.

  By the way, the upper lens cover portion 151 is formed in a wedge shape in a cross section with a hollow inside and opened at the rear, and is formed in a boomerang shape in a plan view. It is formed so that the distance between the cathode tube and the inner surface of the wedge-shaped tip is reduced. An opaque leading molding member 154 colored in silver is fixed to the outer side of the wedge-shaped front end portion of the upper lens cover portion 151, and the front bulging surface having a wedge-shaped cross section corresponding to almost the entire upper lens cover portion 151 is formed. Illuminated with an upper cold cathode tube. The side lens cover portions 156 and 157 are similar to the upper lens cover portion 151 in that the inside is hollow and the rear is open and formed in a wedge shape in cross section. The distance between the side cold cathode fluorescent tube formed in a straight line and the inner surface of the wedge-shaped tip is smaller than that of the lens cover 151 and is formed in a boomerang shape having a gentle curve as a whole. Is formed to be close.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the reason why the cold cathode tube is used as the illumination means for decorating the periphery of the front surface of the door frame 5 is as follows. When decorating the periphery of the front surface of the door frame 5, there is a restriction that the distance between the light source and the lens cover disposed on the front surface of the light source cannot be made too large. This restriction is because the door frame 5 is always opened and closed, and if the protrusion amount is made too large, there is a possibility that the operation at the time of opening may be hindered. Thus, in a situation where the distance between the light source and the lens cover is not so large, the light decoration visible through the lens cover is continuous when the lamp or LED is scattered as the light source as in the past. The light decoration is not visible, but can only be seen as a spotted pattern with strong and weak parts. On the other hand, when a continuous cold cathode tube is used as a light emission source as in this embodiment, even if the distance between the cold cathode tube and the lens cover 150 is short, the light decoration visible through the lens cover 150 is A beautiful light decoration in a continuous state is visible. For this reason, since the area surrounding the game board 4 is bordered by a continuous beautiful light decoration, a decoration effect not found in conventional pachinko gaming machines can be achieved. If the distance between the light source and the lens cover can be kept to some extent, light should diffuse and illuminate the entire area of the lens cover with little intensity even if scattered light sources such as LEDs are used. Can do.

  Further, a decorative member attachment region 184 is formed below the side lens cover portions 156 and 157 of the lens cover 150, and the decorative member 185 is attached to the decorative member attachment region 184. The decorative member 185 has a shape similar to the speaker cover 165 described above, and when the lens cover 150 is attached to the surface of the door frame main body 100, the impression that the upper left and right sides and the lower left and right sides of the lens cover 150 are balanced. It is attached to give Note that the speaker cover 165 and the decorative member 185 described above do not simply cover the front of the speaker 163 or decorate the lower part of the lens cover 150 as described above, but the periphery thereof is light-decorated with LEDs. It has a structure.

  As described above in detail, the speaker cover 165 and the decorative member 185 according to the present embodiment have four corners in the region surrounding the game window 101 of the door frame 5 apart from the light decoration by the cold cathode tube and the LED substrate described above. Since it is configured so as to be intensively decorated with light, the entire circumference except for the lower side of the gaming window 101 is not casually decorated with light, but can be made with a light decoration with strength and weakness. In particular, the light decoration on the upper left and right sides of the door frame 5 has a tendency that only a speaker is conventionally arranged, and the light decoration around the speaker is not performed. However, by configuring as in the present embodiment, the entire periphery except the lower side of the gaming window 101 can be effectively decorated with light.

<Reinforcing sheet metal>
The door lens unit 120 described above is attached to the front side of the door frame main body 100, and the dish unit 300 is attached below the door lens unit 120.

The main body frame 3 constructed by mounting the main body frame 500 on the main body frame main body 500 will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, with reference to FIGS. 21 to 29, the main body frame main body 500 on which the above-described various components are mounted and the main body frame 3 on which the various components are mounted will be described. FIG. 21 is a front view of the main body frame main body 500 before attaching the components, FIG. 22 is a rear view of the main body frame main body 500 before attaching the components, and FIG. 23 is a main body frame main body before attaching the components. FIG. 24 is a perspective view seen from the back of the main body frame main body 500 before attaching the components, and FIG. 25 is a perspective view seen from the front of the main body frame 3 with the components attached. 26 is a perspective view of the state in which the main body frame 3 to which the parts are attached is pivotally supported on the outer frame 2, and FIG. 27 is a rear view of the main body frame 3 to which the parts are attached. FIG. 29 is a perspective view as seen from the back of the main body frame 3 to which the components are attached, and FIG. is there.

  In FIG. 21, an upper shaft bracket 503 and a lower shaft bracket 509 (both see FIG. 25) for attaching and closing the body frame 3 to the outer frame 2 are mounted on one side of the body frame main body 500. In the state where the shaft bracket mounting step portions 501 and 502 are formed and the upper shaft bracket 503 and the lower shaft bracket 509 are mounted on the shaft bracket mounting step portions 501 and 502, the upper side and the side side of the main body frame main body 500 are formed. Is substantially coplanar with the upper and side sides of the upper shaft support 503, and the lower and side sides of the main body frame main body 500 are substantially coplanar with the lower and side sides of the lower shaft support 509 (FIG. 27). reference). Here, the upper shaft support bracket 503 and the lower shaft support bracket 509 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 27. The upper shaft support fitting 503 has a mounting portion on the back surface of the main body frame main body 500, and its upper end protrudes forward. A shaft support pin 504 is erected and fixed on the upper surface protruding forward, and the shaft support pin 504 A door shaft support hole 505 is formed on the side.

  On the other hand, the lower shaft support 509 has a mounting portion on the back surface of the main body frame main body 500, and two support plates 506 and 507 are integrally projected on the lower end side and slightly on the upper side. The lower support plate 506 constitutes a frame support plate 506 for supporting the main body frame 3 on the lower support fitting 66 of the outer frame 2, and the upper support plate 507 is provided on the door frame 5. A door support plate 507 for supporting the lower shaft support portion 220 on the main body frame 3 is configured. For this reason, a shaft support hole (not shown) for inserting the support protrusion 68 of the lower support fitting 66 of the outer frame 2 is formed in the frame support plate 506, and the door support plate 507 is provided with the lower shaft support portion 220 of the door frame 5. A shaft support hole 508 for inserting the projecting shaft pin 221 is formed.

  By the way, the main body frame main body 500 is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and about 3/4 of the upper part thereof is a game board installation recess 510 (see FIG. 25) for installing the game board 4. A slightly recessed area below the game board installation recess 510 is a plate portion 511. In addition, the front upper side portion and the front open side portion on the front side surrounding the game board installation recess 510 are formed with a predetermined width so as to face the rear surface of the door frame 5, An upper crime prevention double groove 581 is formed by a protrusion protruding in parallel with the lateral direction, and a side crime prevention groove 582 is formed on the outer side and on the inner side of the front opening side edge on the right side when viewed from the front. A security recess 583 is formed which is formed by an inner wall having an inclined surface that is connected to the first side wall 540 at the rear end. Unlike the side part, it is not formed so as to have a predetermined width that faces the back surface of the door frame 5, but the front shaft support side part of the main body frame main body 500 is more forward than the front upper side part or the front open side part. The shaft support side portion 587 has a large protrusion amount.

  More specifically, the upper crime prevention double groove 581 formed on the upper side of the front surface is bent toward the rear with both long side ends of the upper reinforcing sheet metal 211 attached and fixed to the rear side of the upper side of the door frame 5. The bent projecting pieces 215 and 216 are inserted respectively. Further, the side security grooves 582 and the security recesses 583 formed on the front open side edges are folded back at the long side ends of the open side reinforcing sheet metal 213 attached and fixed to the open back of the door frame 5. The open-side outer bent protrusion 223 and the open-side inner bent protrusion 225 to be bent are respectively inserted. Further, on the shaft support side portion 587 of the front shaft support side portion, the tip end of the shaft support side L-shaped bent protruding piece 217 of the shaft support side reinforcing sheet metal 212 attached and fixed to the shaft support side rear surface of the door frame 5 The parts come into contact.

  Further, the above-described structure can prevent an illegal act of inserting a fraudulent tool such as a piano wire through the gap between the contact surfaces of the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3, and in particular, the open side where the fraudulent act is most likely to be performed. It has a structure that can prevent fraud at the side and then at the upper side where fraud is likely to be performed. Of course, the prevention of fraud by the contact between the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 212 on the support side and the support-side L-shaped bent protrusion 217 also functions sufficiently, but in many cases the support side is sturdy. Since the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 are connected to each other by the support brackets 45 and 66 and the shaft support brackets 503 and 509, the space between the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 is larger than that of the upper side and the open side. It is difficult to make a gap. For this reason, in this embodiment, not a double crime prevention structure but a single crime prevention structure. These points will be described in detail later.

  In addition to the configuration described above, the front upper side, front open side, and front pivot side on the front side surrounding the game board installation recess 510 are arranged on the upper, middle, and lower sides of the front open side. A door hook hole 549 is formed for passing through a door hook portion 1041 (see FIG. 67) provided on a lock device 1000 (described later) attached to the open side rear surface of the main body frame 3 and projecting forward. A board positioning projection 576 for engaging with a positioning recess 611 formed in the game board 4 is provided on the inner side surface of the front shaft support side. Further, the pivot side L-shaped bent projecting piece 217 of the pivot side reinforcing sheet metal 212 with the door frame 5 closed on the inner front surface of the board positioning projection 576 on the side side of the front pivot side is slightly lower. Two upper and lower restricting projections 577 into which the distal ends are inserted project. The operation of the restricting protrusion 577 is as described above. Further, as shown in FIG. 21, a board stopper insertion hole into which an end of a game board stopper 614 provided on the game board 4 is engaged above and below the boundary between the open-side flat portion and the game board installation recess 510. 578 is formed.

  Next, the configuration of the plate portion 511 will be described with reference to FIGS. The upper surface of the plate part 511 is a game board placement part 512 for placing the game board 4, and the game board 4 is placed on the placement part 512 in the approximate center of the game board placement part 512. A passage support protrusion 513 is provided to support the lower surface of the out port 606 (see FIG. 30) formed in the game board 4 when placed. Further, as shown in FIG. 21, a rail mounting boss 514 protrudes from the central portion of the front surface of the plate portion 511 toward the open side end portion at a predetermined interval, and the launch rail 515 ( 25) is fixed with screws. Further, a rail connection member 516 protrudes from the front surface of the plate portion 511 corresponding to the tip position of the launch rail 515, and when the game board 4 is installed in the game board installation recess 510, the inner rail of the game board 4 is provided. The connecting passage 609 (see FIG. 30), which is the downstream end of 603, is adjacent.

  In addition, at the side position of the rail connection member 516 (position opposite to the firing rail 515), the upper end of an elliptical game board fixture 519 (see FIG. 25) for fixing the lower part of the game board 4 is provided. A fixing tool mounting boss 517 for mounting is projected, and a stopper 518 is projected diagonally below. That is, the game board fixing tool 519 is provided to be rotatable about the fixing tool mounting boss 517, and is rotated in the clockwise direction in a state where the game board 4 is placed on the game board mounting portion 512 to play the game. The board fixture 519 is pressed against the front surface of the game board 4 to fix the game board 4. Further, when removing the game board, it can be easily performed by turning the game board fixture 519 counterclockwise and removing it. In this case, the game board fixture 519 is prevented from being rotated counterclockwise by the stopper 518.

  In addition, the lower part of the open side of the plate part 511 is formed with a rectangular parallelepiped launching device mounting portion 520 that projects in a bulging shape toward the front side (which is concave when viewed from the back side). A hitting ball launcher 650 is fixed to the mounting portion 520 from the back surface of the main body frame main body 500. This will be described in detail later. A handle connecting window 522 that houses a slide member 710 (see FIG. 41) that is associated with the slide protrusion 492 of the joint unit 480 described above is formed on the front wall portion of the launcher mounting portion 520 described above. A shaft hole 523 is formed at the position adjacent to the connecting window 522 so that the end face of the bearing 689 (see FIG. 37) of the ball striking rod 687 faces. In addition, the upper wall portion of the launcher mounting portion 520 is formed with a notch formed with a punch through-opening 521 through which the hitting basket 687 of the hitting ball launching device 650 protrudes upward, and a plate portion 511 obliquely above the punch through-opening 521. Is provided with a cylinder lock through hole 526 through which the cylinder lock 1010 of the lock device 1000 passes.

  On the other hand, on the back surface of the plate portion 511, as shown in FIG. 22, a ball discharge passage 524 that extends from the upper portion on the shaft support side toward the central portion of the plate portion 511 and then goes downward is formed. . The ball discharge passage 524 is for discharging a ball discharged from a ball connection passage 880 (see FIG. 25), which will be described later, from below the pachinko machine 1 into the island. Further, a cylindrical guide projection 525 protrudes rearward above the launching device mounting portion 520, and a guide hole 1212 (see FIG. 73) of the substrate unit 1100 described later is inserted into the guide projection 525. This facilitates the mounting of the substrate unit 1100. Further, mounting holes 527 for mounting the board unit 1100 with screws are formed on the left and right and upper and lower sides of the plate part 511, and the mounting pieces 1122 of the board unit 1100 are associated with the mounting holes 527 and fastened with screws. In addition, a launching device mounting boss 529 for mounting the hitting ball launching device 650 is projected rearwardly inside the concave shape of the launching device mounting portion 520. As shown in the figure, when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, a guide protrusion with a tapered tip and a vertically long shape is provided to guide the closing operation of the main body frame 3 while contacting the upper surface of the decorative cover plate 15. 528 protrudes rearward.

  In addition to the configuration described above, the plate portion 511 is provided with a ball extraction connection opening 530 that is an opening at the upstream end of the ball extraction discharge passage 524 on the upper surface of the end portion on the shaft support side, as shown in FIG. Yes. The downstream end of the ball removal connection passage 880 is connected to the ball removal connection opening 530. Further, the portion adjacent to the ball-opening connection opening 530 is horizontal so that a full unit mounting portion 531 for mounting a full unit 900 (see FIG. 25), which will be described in detail later, is orthogonal to the plate portion 511. A unit engagement groove 532 that engages with the engagement piece 924 (see FIG. 57) of the full unit 900 is formed in the front portion of the full unit mounting portion 531. Further, as shown in FIG. 25, an outlet for blocking a prize ball discharged from the outlet 921 of the full tank unit 900 when the door frame 5 is opened is provided on the front surface of the plate part 511 in front of the full unit mounting part 531. An opening / closing device 579 is provided.

  Although the outlet opening / closing device 579 is not described in detail, when the door frame 5 is closed, the opening / closing plate is lowered by a lever that contacts the back surface of the door frame 5, but the door plate 5 is opened. Then, the contact with the lever disappears, so that the opening / closing plate rises and closes the outlet 921. For this reason, even when the door frame 5 is opened, the prize balls stored in the full tank unit 900 do not fall down from the outlet 921. Also, as shown in FIG. 25, a fastening hole penetrating vertically in a position corresponding to the upper part of the launching portion of the firing rail 515 in the game board mounting portion 512 formed along the upper end side of the plate portion 511. 533 is formed, and a fastening link 534 for holding the fastening band 619 is passed to the front portion of the fastening hole 533. The fastening linkage 534 is a mechanism for preventing the game board 4 from being detached from the main body frame 3.

  Next, the structure of the game board installation recessed part 510 is demonstrated. The game board installation recess 510 is provided around a first side wall 540 that is provided rearward from the inner side surface on the shaft support side and the upper side portion and the open side surface portion described above, and is provided rearward from the first side wall 540. A second side wall 541, a third side wall 542 circumferentially provided rearward from the second side wall 541, and a fourth side wall 543 circumferentially provided rearward from the third side wall 542, The body frame 3 is formed in a concave shape in which the left and right sides and the rear part of the upper side are surrounded.

  The first side wall 540 to the fourth side wall 543 are formed such that the upper side and the right side (sides on the shaft support side) are straightly extended backward with a step when viewed from the rear side, whereas the left side ( The open side is formed in a stepped shape (see FIG. 29) that is inclined inwardly from the first side wall 540 toward the fourth side wall 543. This is because the rear end of the fourth side wall 543 is opened when the main body frame 3 is opened when the first side wall 540 to the fourth side wall 543 on the left side (side on the open side) are straightly formed rearward. May be in contact with the inner surface of the side frame plate 13 of the outer frame 2 so that it cannot be opened smoothly. Therefore, the first side wall surface 540 to the fourth side wall 543 on the open side can be smoothly opened by inclining inside. It is something that can be done.

  At the same time, the lock device 1000 is attached along the first side wall 540 on the open side, and the attachment is made using a lock attachment hole 547 (see FIG. 63) provided in the rear end side of the first side wall 540. In order to form the lock mounting hole 547, the fourth side wall 543 is formed in an inclined step shape from the first side wall 540 on the open side. Furthermore, as for the step size of the first side wall 540 to the fourth side wall 543, the step between the first side wall 540 and the second side wall 541 needs to be in contact with the periphery of the back surface of the game board 4 described later. For this reason, it is formed with a somewhat large step, but the other steps are extremely small steps. Of course, the second side wall 541 to the fourth side wall 543 may be formed continuously without forming a step.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the side walls 540 to 543 are formed to have depth width dimensions d1, d2, d3, and d4, respectively. In this embodiment, d1 + d2 + d3 + d4 = about 135 mm. . In particular, the width dimension d1 of the first side wall 540 corresponds to the thickness of the game board 4, and the game board is formed in the space formed by the remaining second side wall 541, third side wall 542, and fourth side wall 543. The rear projecting portions of various gaming devices provided in 4 are accommodated.

  In other words, the first side wall 540 constitutes a front side wall having a depth dimension substantially the same as the thickness of the game board 4, and the second side wall 541 to the fourth side wall 543 are in contact with the back of the peripheral part of the game board 4.

(See FIG. 25). Then, the prize ball unit 800 locks the lower end of a locking groove 573 formed at the lowermost lower end of the rear surface of the shaft support side rear wall 546, and the support protrusion side 565 and the lock elastic claw 564 are used to support the shaft support side. The rear wall 546 is detachably attached. This detachable configuration will be described in detail later.

  In addition, a cover body contact groove 567 into which an open side end of the cover body 1250 enters is formed at the open end of the pivot support side rear wall 546, and the cover body contact groove 567 of the cover body contact groove 567 is formed. A locking wall 569 protrudes downward. The cover body abutment groove 567 is formed with stop holes 568 corresponding to the stop holes 1253 (see FIG. 28) of the cover body 1250, and these stop holes 1253 and 568 are aligned with each other and fixed with screws (not shown). By doing so, the rear opening 580 of the main body frame 3 can be closed and fixed by the cover body 1250. The locking wall 569 is provided with a U-shaped locking protruding hook piece 570 that is U-shaped in plan view. By passing through the formed through-hole 1254 (see FIG. 28) and, for example, locking a padlock or the like to the locking protrusion 570, only the person having the padlock key can open the cover body 1250. You can make it impossible.

  As mentioned above, although the structure of the main body frame main body 500 which consists of the game board installation recessed part 510 and the board part 511 was demonstrated, when the door frame 5 was closed to the lowest end side part of the board part 511 other than having demonstrated above. In addition, engagement grooves 584 and 585 (see FIG. 21) are formed into which the door frame protrusions 112 and 113 (see FIG. 19) bent downward with the lower side of the door frame main body 100 bent rearward. The engagement groove 584 is a groove formed below the above-described firing device mounting portion 520, and the engagement groove 585 is a groove formed from one end of the engagement groove 584 toward the shaft support side. Note that the door frame protrusion 112 corresponding to the engagement groove 585 protrudes rearward so as to be larger than the protrusion amount of the door frame protrusion 113 corresponding to the engagement groove 584. However, a door frame protrusion 112 with a large amount of protrusion is slightly formed at the lower end of the open end. The door frame protrusions 112 and 113 and the engagement grooves 584 and 585 constitute the outer protrusions and engagement portions on the lower side portions of the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3.

  As described above, the plate portion 511 is provided with the launch rail 515 and the outlet opening / closing device 579, and the rail connection member 516 and the launch device attachment portion 520 are formed to project, but the launch device attachment portion 520 and the launch rail 515 are provided. The position of the plate portion 511 is biased toward the open side, and they are formed so as to protrude from the surface of the plate portion 511. For this reason, in the state where the door frame 5 is closed, the region from the substantially central portion of the plate portion 511 on which the launching device mounting portion 520 and the firing rail 515 are arranged to the open side is the rear surface of the door frame 5 and the launching device mounting portion. 520 and the front surface of the launch rail 515 are in close contact with each other, so that an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire that has passed through the gap between the door frame protrusion 112 and the engagement groove 585 can be removed from the back surface of the door frame 5. It is extremely difficult to make the gap between the launcher mounting portion 520 and the front surface of the launch rail 515 even better and reach the front side of the game board 4 or the back side of the game board 4.

  On the other hand, since the region from the substantially central portion of the plate portion 511 where the launcher mounting portion 520 and the firing rail 515 are not arranged to the shaft support side does not have a portion protruding on the surface of the plate portion 511, the door frame 5 is closed. In this case, a space 586 is generated between the back surface of the door frame 5 and the front surface of the plate portion 511. For this reason, an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire that has passed through the gap between the door frame protrusion 112 and the engagement groove 584 can easily open the space 586 between the back surface of the door frame 5 and the front surface of the plate portion 511. In order to prevent unauthorized tools from slipping through the space 586 upward, the mounting base 280 attached to the lower part of the back surface of the door frame 5 has the door frame 5 in a closed state. A security protrusion 285 that enters 586 is formed. The security protrusion 285 is formed on the mounting base 280 so as to extend from substantially the middle of the plate portion 511 to the end portion on the shaft support side. Therefore, the space below the launch rail 515 and the outer rail 602 attached to the game board 4 constitutes a crime prevention space 586 that receives the crime prevention projection piece 285 protruding from the mounting base 280. The security projection piece 285 and the security space 586 constitute an inner ridge and engagement portion in the lower side portion of the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3.

  As described above, the main body frame 3 includes the game board 4, the hit ball launching device 650, the prize ball tank 720, the tank rail member 740, the ball passage unit 770, the prize ball unit 800, the full tank unit 900, the lock device 1000, and the board unit. 1100 and the cover body 1250 are attached, and these will be sequentially described below.

<Schematic configuration of game board>
A schematic configuration of the game board 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 30 to 35. 30 is a perspective view of the game board 4 as viewed from the front, FIG. 31 is a front view of the game board 4, FIG. 32 is a rear view of the game board 4, and FIG. FIG. 34 is an enlarged perspective view of a removal prevention mechanism portion formed on the game board 4, and FIG. 35 is a main body frame 3 showing a structure on the main body frame side with respect to the removal prevention mechanism of the game board 4. FIG.

  In FIG. 30, the game board 4 includes a substantially square panel holder 600 holding a transparent plate-like game panel 599, and a front component member 601 attached to the front surface of the panel holder 600 so as to surround the game area 605. It is configured. On the surface of the game panel 599, various game devices and a number of obstacle nails (all not shown) are planted in the game area 605. Then, after those gaming devices and obstacle nails are provided, the front component 601 is attached to the front surface of the panel holder 600, and the front component 601 has a circular hollow inside so as to surround the game panel 599. And the outer shape is formed in the shape of the outer shape of the panel holder 600, and an arc surface extending from the middle of the lower side to the diagonally upper side past the center of the upper side is formed as the outer rail 602. An inner rail 603 is formed from the lower position of the stopper 620 provided at the end of 602 to the position where the symmetrical backflow prevention member 604 of the upper stopper 620 is provided. The outer rail 602 has a connecting passage portion 609 that is connected to a rail connecting member 516 provided in an extension shape of the firing rail 515 at a starting end portion thereof, and is formed adjacent to the connecting passage portion 609 with a foul. A mouth 610 is formed. A metal rail is attached in close contact with the outer rail 602 from the upstream end of the foul port 610 to the stopper 620.

  The stopper 620 is provided with an elastic body of rubber or synthetic resin so that when a hit ball that has slid on the outer rail 602 collides with force, the hit ball hits the inside of the game area 605. The backflow prevention member 604 prevents the hit ball, which is fired at one end and taken inside the game area 605, from flowing back to the outer rail 602 again. Further, a security protrusion 608 is provided on one side of the lower portion of the outer rail 602 so as to extend along a part of the metal rail. As described above, the security projection 608 overlaps with the rear end projection 275 of the security cover 270 protruding from the security cover 270 in the state in which the door frame 5 is closed. It prevents intrusion of unauthorized tools such as a piano wire inserted from slightly below the middle of the support side gap.

  Further, an out port 606 is provided at the center of the lower portion of the inner rail 603, and the hit ball hits the game area 605 between the inner rail 603 and the outer rail 602 from the out port 606 to the backflow prevention member 604. Although it constitutes a guided passage to be guided, the hit ball that has flowed back through the outer rail 602 without reaching the game area 605 is taken into the foul port 610 and guided to the foul ball inlet 923 of the full tank unit 900 described later. Then, it is discharged again to the dish unit 300. The game area 605 is an area substantially surrounded by the inner rail 603. In addition, a rail security groove 607 is formed in the front component 601 on the way from the out port 606 of the inner rail 603 to the stop 620. The rail security groove 607 is formed in a groove shape so that a part of the post-crime projection piece 274 protruding from the security cover 270 enters as described above with the door frame 5 closed. Due to the concavo-convex engagement between the rail security groove 607 and the post-crime protrusion piece 274, the piano wire or the like that is inserted from the middle of the gap on the open side of the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 is overlapped in the vertical direction. This will ultimately prevent the tool from entering.

  By the way, a positioning recess 611 is formed on one side of the game board 4 to fit in the board positioning projection 576 formed on the main body frame 3, and is formed on the main body frame 3 on the other side of the game board 4. A game board stopper 614 to be inserted into the board stopper insertion hole 578 is provided. The end of the game board stopper 614 is inserted into the board stopper insertion hole 578 when the game board stopper 614 is pressed and fixed. Thus, in order to fix the game board 4 to the main body frame 3, the game board 4 is entirely inserted after the positioning recess 611 is inserted from the front side of the main body frame 3 in an oblique direction so as to be fitted to the board positioning protrusion 576. Is pushed into the first side wall 540 of the main body frame 3, and the game board stopper 614 which is in a free state in that state is pushed in and fixed, and the end thereof is inserted into the board stopper insertion hole 578 and fixed. Thereafter, the game board fixing tool 519 is rotated to fix the lower front surface of the game board 4. As a result, the game board 4 can be easily attached to the main body frame 3. In order to remove the game board 4, the game board 4 may be removed in the reverse order of the above procedure.

  In addition, the game board 4 in the present embodiment has a configuration that prevents unauthorized removal of the game board 4 from the main body frame 3 very easily. That is, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 34, a mounting notch 616 that penetrates the game board 4 in the front and rear direction is formed at the lower end opposite to the passage notch 613 below the game board 4 (exactly). Is formed with a mounting notch 616 in the front component 601.), and a fastening bar 617 is stretched and fixed in the horizontal direction below the mounting notch 616. The fastening bar 617 is formed with a belt groove-like fastening portion 618 for latching the fastening band 619 at the approximate center thereof. On the other hand, as the removal preventing mechanism provided in the main body frame 3, as described above, it is the game board mounting portion 512 formed along the upper end side of the plate portion 511 below the main body frame 3, and the firing rail 515 is fired. A fastening hole 533 penetrating in the vertical direction is formed at a position corresponding to the upper portion of the portion, and a fastening linkage 534 for hooking the fastening band 619 is passed to the front portion of the fastening hole 533 (see FIG. 35). ).

  When the game board 4 configured as described above is housed and arranged in the game board installation recess 510 of the main body frame 3, the fastening bar 617 is placed in contact with the game board placement part 512 as shown in FIG. At the same time, the fastening portion 618 and the fastening linkage 534 are in a matched state. In this state, the tip of a fastening band 619 that is generally marketed from above the fastening bar 617 is inserted into the mounting notch 616 with respect to the portion where the fastening portion 618 and the fastening linkage 534 coincide. Then, it is inserted downward into the fastening hole 533 and guided forward, and its tip is engaged with the fastener portion of the fastening band 619. And the unnecessary front-end | tip part which protruded ahead from the fastener of the fastening band 619 is cut | disconnected. In this way, unless the fastening band 619 is cut, the game board 4 cannot be removed from the main body frame 3 even if the game board stopper 614 and the game board fixture 519 are released. Although the game board 4 can be removed from the main body frame 3 by cutting the fastening band 619, for example, if different fastening bands are fastened by using a fastening band 619 unique to a pachinko parlor, It can be easily understood that the board 4 has been removed and some sort of fraud has been performed. Thus, illegal removal from the main body frame 3 of the game board 4 can be prevented by an extremely simple removal prevention mechanism.

  Further, the outer shape of the game board 4 has speaker cutouts 612 formed on the upper left and right sides of the game board 4 so as to receive the rear protruding portions of the speakers 163 provided on the back surface of the door frame 5, and the side of the foul mouth 610. A notch portion 613 for passage into which a part of the front guide passage 920 portion of the full tank unit 900 described later is inserted is formed obliquely below. In addition, on the lower left and right sides of the front component member 601, a certificate sticking unit 615 for applying a certificate check certificate is provided.

  On the other hand, on the back side of the game board 4, the balls won in various gaming devices provided in the game area 605 (for example, an accessory having a V entrance or a prize opening such as a general prize opening) are aligned downstream. A back box 621 that can be guided is attached, and controls the display of a liquid crystal display device 640 (see FIG. 74, etc.) as a display device that is disposed on the back surface of the back box 621 at approximately the center of the game area 605. A liquid crystal display control board box 622 is attached as a display control board box in which the display device control board is stored.

  Further, a board substrate holder 623 is fixed to the back of the game board 4 below the back box 621. This board substrate holder 623 has a space part (this space part has a width in the front-rear direction larger than the width of the back box 621 so as to collect the winning balls aligned and guided by the back box 621 in front of it. And a drop port 629 (see FIG. 29) is formed on the bottom surface of the space. The drop port 629 joins at the rear surface portion of the out port 606 and communicates with an out ball passage 1119 (see FIG. 73) formed in the substrate unit 1100 described later.

  Further, the board substrate holder 623 is connected to the main control board box 624 for storing the main control board 1350 for controlling the game operation on the back surface thereof, and a payout control board 1186 and a power supply board provided in the board unit 1100 described later. And a relay terminal plate 625 for mounting. The relay terminal plate 625 is provided with drawer connectors 626 and 627 that are automatically connected to the drawer connectors 1200 and 1202 provided on the board unit 1100 simply by mounting the game board 4 on the main body frame 3.

  Furthermore, the board substrate holder 623 is formed with a joint guide protrusion 628 that protrudes backward from between the drawer connectors 626 and 627 so as to penetrate the relay terminal plate 625. The joint guide protrusions 628 are provided on the drawer connectors 1200 and 1202 provided on the board unit 1100 side and on the game board 4 side when an operation of mounting the game board 4 on the main body frame 3 is performed as will be described in detail later. The drawer connectors 626 and 627 are inserted into the joining guide holes 1213 formed in the frame substrate holder 1101 of the substrate unit 1100 so as to be naturally connected (see FIG. 73). The connection of these drawer connectors will be described in detail later.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 37, the launch base frame 651 is molded into a horizontally long rectangular shape by a synthetic resin, and a bearing in which a bearing 689 of a ball striking rod 687 is fitted at substantially the center thereof. A cylinder 652 is formed, and rubber stopper members 653 and 654 for restricting the firing origin position of the hitting ball 687 are attached and fixed to the upper portion and the side thereof. That is, the rubber stopper members 653 and 654 receive the impact of the hitting ball rod 687 when the hitting ball rod 687 returns to the firing origin position by the biasing force of the biasing spring 684. In addition, a slide guide hole 655 having a horizontally elongated groove is formed on the rear side of the firing base frame 651 (on the opposite side of the portion corresponding to the lower side of the firing rail 515), and a slide member storage space is formed below the slide guide hole 655. 656 is formed.

  The slide guide hole 655 is configured to guide a slide movement of the slide rod 677 by inserting a guide locking piece 678 protruding from an upper rear end of a slide rod 677 described later. The slide member 710 is accommodated so as to be movable in the left-right direction. The slide guide of the front portion of the slide rod 677 is guided by a guide bush 681 fixed to a guide hole 680 formed in front of the slide rod 677 in a stop hole 662 formed in the firing base frame 651 by a set screw 682. This is done by penetrating through. Further, as shown in FIG. 38, a rectangular connection opening 664 is formed on the bottom surface of the slide member storage space 656.

  Further, a hook portion is formed with respect to the main body of the launch base frame 651 at a front portion of the upper side of the launch base frame 651, and an operating piece opening 657 is formed in the hook portion above the bearing cylinder 652. ing. The operating piece opening 657 abuts on a supply swing piece 289 (see FIG. 15) provided facing a hitting ball supply port 288 (see FIG. 15) on the downstream side of the dish unit 300 of the door frame 5. The operating piece 658 is swingably provided by a stop pin 659 on a mounting portion 660 protruding from the rear upper part of the opening edge of the operating piece opening 657. The operating piece 658 is formed in a “te” shape, the rear end portion of the upper side thereof is pivotally supported by a stop pin 659, and the base plate rotates integrally with the ball striking rod 687 from the pivotal support portion to the arc portion below. 690 is in contact with the operating piece abutting portion 693 provided to project, and the upper side portion swings the supply swing piece 289 in conjunction with the reciprocating motion of the hitting ball rod 687. Balls flowing out from the supply port 288 are supplied one by one to the launch position of the launch rail 515.

  Further, on the firing base frame 651, motor mounting bosses 661 for fixing a motor cover 694 containing the firing motor 695 are projected in a total of three locations, two at the rear lower part and one at the front upper part. In addition, a swinging piece boss 663 into which a shaft hole 673 at the lower end of the swinging piece 672 connected to the slide member 710 is inserted in a projecting manner to slide the slide rod 677 to the lower rear of the slide member storage space 656. Has been.

  A metal plate 665 is attached to the above-described launch base frame 651 so that the hitting ball launcher 650 has high rigidity. For this reason, the metal plate 665 has through holes 666, 667, 668, 669 corresponding to the bearing cylinder 652, the lower rubber stopper member 653, the slide guide hole 655, the guide bush 681, and the swing piece boss 663, respectively. A horizontal oblong through hole 670 through which the connecting convex portion 712 of the slide member 710 passes is also formed. In the metal plate 665 configured as described above, after the slide member 710 is stored in the slide member storage space 656, each of the through holes 666 to 671 has the members 652, 653, 655, 681, 712, 663 corresponding thereto. It is fixed to the firing base frame 651 by being brought into close contact with the firing base frame 651 so as to penetrate or match with the screws.

  The tip of the swing piece boss 663 of the firing base frame 651 to which the metal plate 665 is attached protrudes from the through hole 671, and the shaft hole 673 of the swing piece 672 is inserted into the head portion. The swing piece 672 is pivotally supported so as to be swingable about the lower end. As shown in FIG. 37, the swing piece 672 is formed in a vertically long bowl shape, the shaft hole 673 is formed at the lower end thereof, and the connecting convex portion 712 of the slide member 710 is inserted in the middle thereof. A connecting hole 674 having a shape is formed. The front surface above the connection hole 674 is an abutting portion 675 that abuts one end (rear end) of the slide rod 677. Accordingly, the rocking piece 672 is inserted into the rocking piece boss 663 and the connecting hole 674 is inserted into the connecting convex portion 712 of the slide member 710 protruding from the through hole 670 to connect the pin 676 with washer. The rocking piece 672 is attached to the firing base frame 651 by being fixed to the convex portion 712. The attached swing piece 672 swings at the upper part around the lower end as the slide member 710 slides.

  Further, a horizontally long bowl-shaped slide bar 677 is attached to the upper front surface of the metal plate 665 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. That is, an L-shaped guide locking piece 678 projecting from the rear upper part of the slide rod 677 is engaged with the through hole 668 of the metal plate 665, and the guide elongated hole 680 formed in front of the slide rod 677 is engaged. The guide bush 681 having the set screw 682 is passed through, and the set screw 682 is fixed to the set hole 662. The slide hook 677 is slidably mounted on the firing base frame 651 via the metal plate 665 by the guide locking piece 678 and the through hole 668, and the guide long hole 680 and the guide bush 681. The slide rod 677 is formed with a contacted portion 679 that contacts the contact portion 675 of the swing piece 672 described above at one end (rear end), and one end of the biasing spring 684 at the other end (front end). A spring locking portion 683 for hooking the locking ring 685 is projected.

  A bearing cylinder 652 of the firing base frame 651 to which the metal plate 665 is attached protrudes from the through hole 666, and the bearing cylinder 652 is fitted so that the bearing 689 of the hitting ball 687 does not fall off. The lower end portion of the hit ball 687 is fixed to the shaft of the bearing 689 and, at the same time, the base plate 690 is fixed. An operating piece abutting portion 693 that abuts against the operating piece 658 protrudes from the front back surface side of the base plate 690, and a locking ring 686 at the other end of the urging spring 684 is hooked on the front front surface. A spring locking portion 692 is protruded, and a motor contact protrusion 691 that is engaged with and disengaged from the motor cam 697 of the firing motor 695 is protruded on the rear front surface thereof. A synthetic resin rivet tip 688 is fixed to the upper end of the hitting ball 687, and the firing position formed by the lower end portion of the firing rail 515 and the firing position stopper 702 secured above the tip 688. I am going to rush into.

  On the other hand, a firing motor 695 housed in a motor cover 694 is attached to the above-described motor mounting boss 661 of the firing base frame 651. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 38 (B), the motor cover 694 includes a cylindrical portion formed so as to accommodate the firing motor 695 therein, and is enlarged in front of the cylindrical portion to attach the motor. And an anti-rotation preventing cam 698 and a motor cam at the tip of the motor shaft 696 of the firing motor 695 formed integrally with an attaching portion in which an attachment fixing hole 699 for attaching to the boss 661 is formed. 697 is fixed.

  A large number of reverse teeth are formed on the outer periphery of the reverse rotation prevention cam 698 and engages with a stopper piece 700 (see FIG. 39) fixed to the stopper piece mounting boss 701 so as to be swingable. This prevents rotation in the opposite direction. This is to prevent the motor cam 697 from rotating in the reverse direction so that the motor cam 697 and the motor abutting protrusion 691 mesh with each other to prevent a failure in which the ball striking device 650 cannot be driven. Further, the motor cam 697 is formed in a ball shape, and reciprocates the hitting ball rod 687 while being engaged with and disengaged from the motor abutting protrusion piece 691 as the firing motor 695 rotates. When the motor cover 694 is attached to the motor attachment boss 661, as shown in FIG. 36A, the main structure of the hitting ball launching device 650 is covered as seen from the rear surface.

  Incidentally, the slide member 710 housed in the slide member housing space 656 and slidably moved is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with the rear open as shown in FIG. 41, and an elliptical oval convex portion 711 projects on the front surface thereof. Further, a circular connecting convex portion 712 is projected from the rear position of the elliptical convex portion 711. Further, on both the upper and lower surfaces, slide contact protrusions 713 having an arc cross section are provided at both ends so as to easily slide in the slide member storage space 656. On the other hand, the space of the slide member 710 formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape is an insertion space 714 into which the slide protrusion 492 of the joint unit 480 provided in the lower part of the back surface of the door frame 5 is inserted.

  The insertion space 714 has a first inclined surface 715 formed on the front side of the side wall in the sliding direction, and protrudes from the inside of the upper surface and the lower surface to the inside slightly behind the first inclined surface 715. In addition, a clamping piece 716 is formed in which a predetermined interval is formed between the tips of each other. A second inclined surface 717 is also formed on the front side of the sandwiching piece 716 so as to incline in a C shape when viewed from the side. Thus, in the state in which the slide protrusion 492 is inserted into the insertion space 714, as shown in FIG. 41B, one end side of the slide protrusion 492 on the inclined side 493 side contacts the side wall in the sliding direction. In this state, it is inserted between the upper and lower clamping pieces 716. In addition, although the space part 718 is formed in the side of the insertion space 714 of the slide member 710, this space part 718 is not necessarily playing a function.

  Thus, the slide member 710 configured as described above is an ellipse formed on the bottom surface of the slide member storage space 656 as shown in FIG. 38A in the state of being stored in the slide member storage space 656. The insertion space 714 is formed so as to face the connecting opening 664 having a shape, and the slide member 710 is in contact with one inner wall of the slide member storage space 656 (in FIG. Although it is illustrated as being in contact, in a normal state, it is in a state of being in contact with the inner wall of the right space.

  First, the relationship of adjusting the strength of the urging spring 684 of the slide member 710 and the ball striking device 650 will be described. 39, the swing piece 672 connected to the connecting projection 712 of the slide member 710 is in a substantially vertical state. Therefore, the slide rod 677 that is in contact with the swing piece 672 is also urged in one direction (left side in FIG. 39) by the biasing force of the bias spring 684 and the contact portion 675 of the swing piece 672. The contacted portion 679 of the slide rod 677 is in contact. In this state, since the urging spring 684 is not tensioned, even if the hitting ball rod 687 is reciprocally rotated following the rotation of the firing motor 695, the return force of the hitting ball rod 687 is weak, and the hit ball at the firing position is not elastic. Even if issued, the game area 605 of the game board 4 is not reached.

  On the other hand, when the slide member 710 moves in the other direction from the initial position inside the slide member storage space 656 (when it moves toward the left inner wall in FIG. 38A), as shown in FIG. Since the swing piece 672 swings and tilts about the shaft hole 673 at the lower end, the slide rod 677 is moved in the other direction (right side in FIG. 40) by the contact between the contact portion 675 and the contacted portion 679. Slide towards you. Then, the biasing spring 684 locked to the spring locking portion 683 of the slide rod 677 is also tensioned and extended. In this state, since the urging spring 684 is tensioned, the return force of the hitting ball rod 687 when the hitting ball rod 687 is reciprocally rotated following the rotation of the shooting motor 695 is increased, and the hit ball at the shooting position is The game area 605 of the game board 4 is reached by being strongly bulleted. The strength of the impact force of the hit ball can be adjusted according to the slide amount of the slide member 710 in the slide member storage space 656.

  As described above, by moving the slide member 710, it is possible to adjust the resilience by the ball hitting device 650. The movement of the slide member 710 is performed by the operation handle portion 461 of the handle device 460 described above. This is interlocked with the movement of the slide body 483 of the joint unit 480 that moves in accordance with the turning operation of the moving operation member 464. This point will be described with reference to FIG.

  As described above, when the rotation operation member 464 of the operation handle portion 461 of the handle device 460 is rotated, the slanting cam 466 fixed to the tip of the rotation shaft 465 is also rotated, so that the slide body of the joint unit 480 483 slides and moves in one direction inside the storage body 481. For this reason, the slide protrusion 492 protruding from the front surface of the slide body 483 also slides in the same direction. When the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the slide protrusion 492 of the slide body 483 penetrates the connection opening 664 formed in the launching device mounting portion 520 of the main body frame 5 and inserts the slide member 710. It is inserted into the space 714. The insertion state in this case is a state in which one end side on the inclined side 493 side of the sliding protrusion 492 is in contact with the side wall in the sliding direction and is inserted between the upper and lower clamping pieces 716 as described above. . Accordingly, when the slide protrusion 492 slides in one direction, the slide member 710 also slides in the same direction. At this time, as described above, since the slide rod 677 also slides as the slide member 710 slides, the biasing force of the biasing spring 684 can be adjusted. That is, the ball striking force of the ball striking device 650 can be adjusted by rotating the rotation operation member 464 of the handle device 460.

  By the way, in this embodiment, since the handle device 460 is provided on the door frame 5 and the hitting ball launching device 650 is provided on the main body frame 3, the slide protrusion 492 of the handle device 460 is opened each time the door frame 5 is opened and closed. And the slide member 710 of the ball striking device 650 are linked or separated. However, in the present embodiment, as described above, by closing the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3, the slide projecting piece 492 is automatically inserted into the insertion space 714 of the slide member 710, and the handle device 460. The ball striking device 650 is linked, and conversely, by opening the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3, the slide protrusion 492 is separated from the insertion space 714 to separate the handle device 460 and the ball striking device 650. Therefore, the handle device 460 and the ball hitting device 650 can be linked / separated with the opening / closing of the door frame 5 very easily. In particular, when the slide protrusion 492 is inserted into the insertion space 714, the second inclination of the sandwiching piece 716 that protrudes into the insertion space 714 even if the position of the slide protrusion 492 is slightly shifted in the vertical direction. The slide projection 492 is smoothly inserted into the clamping position by the surface 717.

  In some cases, the player may stuff the padding operation member 464 of the operation handle portion 461 and fix it at a position rotated to some extent, but the store clerk at the game hall knows the padding without knowing the padding. 5 may be opened and closed. Even in such a case, when the door frame 5 is opened, there is no problem because the slide protrusion 492 is simply separated from the insertion space 714. However, when the door frame 5 is closed, the position of the slide protrusion 492 is not limited. Is slightly displaced in one direction, but the sliding member is accompanied with the closing operation of the door frame 5 by the cooperative action of the inclined side 493 of the sliding protrusion 492 and the first inclined surface 715 of the sliding member 710. The slide protrusion 492 and the slide member 710 are finally engaged with each other while moving 710 in one direction. In other words, in the present embodiment, the operation handle device 460 and the hitting ball launching device 650 can cooperate with each other regardless of the rotation position of the rotation operation member 464 of the operation handle portion 461. It is.

<Prize ball tank>
Next, the prize ball tank 720 attached to the upper part of the back surface of the main body frame 3 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 42 is a perspective view (A), a plan view (B), and a side view (C) of the prize ball tank 720. As described above, the prize ball tank 720 is detachably attached to the tank attachment groove 550 (see FIG. 24) formed in the upper part of the back surface of the main body frame 3. Thus, the prize ball tank 720 is formed in a rectangular box shape, and when viewed from the front side of the pachinko machine 1, a notch 729 is formed in the front wall 721, and the bottom surface is formed from the upstream side wall 724 to the downstream side wall 723. A storage portion 728 is formed by a first inclined bottom surface 726 inclined toward the bottom and a second inclined bottom surface 727 inclined from the front wall 721 toward the discharge port 730 described below.

  In addition, a discharge port 730 is formed at the inclined lower end of the second inclined bottom surface 727, and this discharge port 730 protrudes outward from the rear wall 722 of the prize ball tank 720 when viewed from the front side of the pachinko machine 1. In this manner, the downstream side wall 723 and the rear wall 722 are formed so as to be surrounded by a discharge port projecting wall 725 that connects the U-shape. Further, on both outer sides of the front wall 721 of the prize ball tank 720, attachment flanges 733 that engage with the tank attachment groove 550 are formed, and on the back side of the bottom surface of the prize ball tank 720, the main body frame 3 is provided. Placement contact pieces 731 and 732 for placement and contact with the fourth side wall 543 project, and a ball leveling member 744, which will be described later, is attached to the lower part of the rear surface wall 722 on the upstream side of the prize ball tank 720. The ball leveling attachment shaft 735 is projected. Further, an overflow preventing member 734 for preventing the ball from jumping is detachably attached to the rear wall 722 and the upstream side wall 724 of the prize ball tank 720 excluding the discharge port 730.

  In the prize ball tank 720 configured as described above, the mounting flange 733 is attached to the tank mounting groove 550 of the main body frame 3 so as to be inserted from above, and the mounting contact pieces 731 and 732 are attached to the main body frame 3. It abuts on the fourth side wall 543. As a result, the prize ball tank 720 is placed on and attached to the upper part on the back surface side of the main body frame 3. In this attached state, as shown in FIG. 28, the prize ball tank 720 is stored via the notch 729 of the front wall 721. The portion 728 communicates with the relief recess 551 formed on the back surface of the main body frame 3, and as shown in FIG. 5, the discharge port 730 faces the upstream end of the tank rail member 740 described below. ing. Accordingly, in the prize ball tank 720, the width in the front-rear direction of the storage portion 728 for storing the sphere (the storage space portion corresponding to the first inclined bottom surface 726 and the second inclined bottom surface 727) is the second side wall 541 of the main body frame 3. It forms so that it may become substantially the same as the width | variety of the front-back direction to the 4th side wall 543, and it is mounted in the upper part to those side walls 541-543.

  Further, as described above, the first side wall 540 to the fourth side wall 543 of the main body frame 3 are deeply formed so as to cover the rear projecting space of the peripheral part of the game board 4, so that the side walls 541 to 541 are formed. Although the depth of the storage portion of the prize ball tank 720 placed on the upper part of the 543 is shallower than that of the conventional storage tank, the prize ball tank 720 is stored even if the prize ball is stored and increases in weight. Is supported by the side walls 542 to 543 of the main body frame 3, the stored sphere can be smoothly guided to the discharge port 730 without the inclined bottom surfaces 726 and 727 being deformed. Further, since the discharge port 730 is provided at a position outside the rear wall 722 of the prize ball tank 720, the flow of the sphere stored in the storage portion 728 flows outward from the second inclined bottom surface 727. It is configured. For this reason, as compared with the prize ball tank in which a part of the inclined bottom surface is provided with an opening as a discharge port as in the prior art, a spherical break-up protrusion for eliminating the clogging is formed in the storage portion near the discharge port. In addition, it is possible to obtain a structure in which ball clogging hardly occurs.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the award ball tank 720 is placed on the outside of the upper portion of the rear side walls 541 to 543 that accommodates the rearward projecting portions of the gaming apparatus, and the award is given. Since the discharge port 730 of the ball tank 720 protrudes outward from the rear wall 722 of the storage unit, the tank rail member 740 is disposed outside the storage unit of the prize ball tank 720 (as viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 1). Since the tank rail member 740 and the storage portion 728 of the prize ball tank 720 do not overlap in the vertical direction, the rear protrusion of the gaming device provided on the back surface of the gaming board 4 is stored. The upper sides of the rear side walls 541 to 543 can be projected rearward at a position close to the upper side of the main body frame 3, so that even if the rearward protruding portion of the gaming device protrudes at the upper side portion of the game board 4. It can be comfortably accommodated in the interior of the side walls 541 to 543.

  Further, regardless of whether or not the storage part 728 of the prize ball tank 720 is placed on the upper outer side of the rear side walls 541 to 543 that house the rearward projecting part of the gaming apparatus, the discharge port 730 is provided in the prize ball tank 720. Only the configuration of being provided at a position outside the rear wall 722 provides a unique effect that is not found in the conventional prize ball tank. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 43 is a plan view showing the pressure state of a sphere at the discharge port portion between the conventional prize ball tanks (A) and (B) and the prize ball tank (C) according to the present embodiment. In the figure, normally, the balls stored in the prize ball tank 720 are stored and retained in the storage part of the prize ball tank 720. In this case, when the discharge port 730A is formed by opening a part of the inclined bottom surface of the storage portion as in the conventional prize ball tank, for example, as shown in FIG. In the case of a prize-ball tank in which a discharge port 730A is formed on the opposite side of FIG. 43, or a discharge port 730B is formed adjacent to the ball collapse projection 736B as shown in FIG. , 730B, the ball pressure is always applied to the discharge ports 730A, 730B from four directions by the pressure of the stored sphere and the reaction from the side wall of the prize ball tank based on the pressure.

  For this reason, the pressure between the spheres happens to be balanced due to the degree of sphere overlap, and even when the sphere on the downstream side flows out, a sphere-engaged state may occur at the outlets 730A and 730B, and the sphere may be clogged. On the other hand, in the prize ball tank 720 according to the present embodiment, the discharge port 730 is provided at a position outside the rear wall 722 of the prize ball tank 720, so as shown in FIG. The pressure of the stored sphere in the discharge port 730 is a pressure from only two directions, that is, an action force directed from the storage portion toward the discharge port 730 and a reaction thereof, and does not receive pressure from four directions as in the prior art. For this reason, even if the sphere on the downstream side flows out, it is difficult to generate a sphere-engaged state at the discharge port 730 portion, and an excellent effect that sphere clogging does not occur can be achieved.

<Tank rail member>
The tank rail member 740 arranged below the prize ball tank 720 will be described with reference mainly to FIGS. 44 is a perspective view of the relationship between the prize ball tank 720, the tank rail member 740, the ball passage unit 770, the prize ball unit 800, and the full tank unit 900 as seen from the back side of the pachinko machine 1, and FIG. FIG. 46 is a perspective view of the relationship between the prize ball tank 720, the tank rail member 740, the ball path unit 770, the prize ball unit 800, and the full tank unit 900, as viewed from the front side of the pachinko machine 1, and FIG. They are sectional drawing (A) and a top view (B) which show the relationship between the downstream part of the member 740, and the upstream part of the ball passage unit 770.

  As described above, the tank rail member 740 is detachably attached to the rail locking grooves 553 and 554 (see FIG. 24) of the upper rear wall 545 of the main body frame 3. Therefore, the tank rail member 740 is provided with a plurality of locking protrusions 749 that are inserted from above into the rail locking groove 553 on the left and right sides and the lower side of the rear side surface, and the upper side of the rear side surface. At the center, a hook-shaped locking protrusion 750 is provided so as to be hooked on the rail locking groove 554 from above. Thus, the tank rail member 740 is formed in a slanted bowl shape having an open upper surface, the upper surface of the upstream end faces the discharge port 730 of the prize ball tank 720, and the lower surface of the downstream end of the tank rail member 740 forms a ball passage unit 770 described in detail later. I'm here. Further, the inside of the tank rail member 740 serves as a passage 742 through which the spheres flow down in two rows by the partition wall 741 as shown in FIG.

  The bottom surface of the passage 742 is notched with a narrow groove, and foreign matters that roll along the passage 742 together with the sphere fall downward from the narrow groove. In addition, a metal plate (not shown) for removing static electricity is attached to the side wall of the passage 742, and the downstream end of the metal plate is connected to the ground wire connector 557 (see FIG. 22). Yes. For this reason, the static electricity charged in the sphere flowing down the tank rail member 740 is grounded from the metal plate to the outside via the ground wire connector 557 via the ground connector.

  In addition, an egg-shaped ball leveling member 744 having a weight on the slightly downstream side of the midstream region of the tank rail member 740 is swingably provided. The ball leveling member 744 is pivotally supported by the ball leveling mounting shaft 735 of the award ball tank 720 described above, and moves toward the passages 742 in the two rows of the tank rail members 740. The spheres that are suspended and flow down the respective passages 742 flow down in a plurality of stages in the vertical direction so as to be rectified so as to become one stage. Further, the upper surface of the tank rail member 740 on the downstream side from the installation position of the ball leveling member 744 is covered with a ball pressing plate 745. The ball holding plate 745 is formed in an inclined arc shape so that the ball that has not been made one step by the ball leveling member 744 is forced to one step.

  Further, a pair of alignment gears 747 are rotatably supported by shaft pins 748 at the downstream end of the tank rail member 740 so as to face the respective passages 742. The alignment gear 747 has a plurality of teeth formed on its outer periphery, and is fixed to the shaft pin 748 so that the pitch of the teeth of the pair of alignment gears 747 is shifted by a half pitch. For this reason, when the upper part of the sphere that has flowed down each passage 742 of the tank rail member 740 flows downstream while meshing with the teeth of the alignment gear 747, the spheres in the two rows of passages 742 are alternately sent one by one. become. In this case, as shown in FIG. 46, the spheres flowing through the respective passages 742 are guided in the central direction along the inclined surfaces 743 formed in the lower portions of the two rows of passages 742 while meshing with the alignment gears 747. During the guidance, the spheres from the two rows of passages 742 fall in a row alternately to the upper end inlet 773 of the ball drop passage 772 of the ball passage unit 770 described below. The alignment gear 747 is covered with an arcuate gear cover 746 on its upper surface.

<Ball passage unit>
A ball passage unit 770 for guiding the balls dropped from the tank rail member 740 in a line to the winning ball unit 800 will be described with reference mainly to FIGS. 47 to 51. 47 is an exploded perspective view showing the relationship between the main body frame 3 and the ball passage unit 770 and the prize ball unit 800, and FIG. 48 is a rear view showing the relationship between the ball passage unit 770 and the prize ball unit 800. 49 is a perspective view of the ball passage unit 770 as viewed from the back, FIG. 50 is a front view of the ball passage unit 770, and FIG. 51 is a connection structure of the ball passage unit 770 and the prize ball unit 800. It is a side view for demonstrating. 48 and 49, the prize ball unit 800 portion is a drawing of the ball passage portion formed in the unit base body 801 with the gear cover 866, the aluminum heat sink 841 and the unit sub plate 825 removed. is there. However, the gears and the like are indicated by alternate long and short dash lines in order to facilitate understanding of the relationship with the ball passage.

  In the spherical passage unit 770, a spherical drop passage 772 is formed by a pair of bent passage walls 771 bent to the back surface of a substantially rectangular plate (the surface seen from the back surface is referred to as the front surface). As shown in FIG. 46 (A), the ball drop passage 772 communicates with the front and rear bent passage portion 772a whose upstream is bent in the front and rear direction (depth direction when viewed from the back), and the front and rear bent passage portion 772a. It consists of a left and right bent passage portion 772b bent in the left and right direction (left and right direction when viewed from the back) and a vertical passage portion 772c communicating with the left and right bent passage portion 772b and having a substantially vertical shape.

  As shown in FIG. 46 (A), the front / rear bent passage 772a is located at the center of the two rows of passages 742, as described above, because the position of the upper end inlet 773 falling from the tank rail member 740 described above is the main body. The winning ball guide projecting from the front / rear bent passage 772a and the pivot-side rear wall 546 is located on the rear side from the surface of the upper rear wall 545 and the pivot-side rear wall 546 of the frame 3. The projection 561 bends the ball drop passage 772 in the front-rear direction so that the ball drop passage 772 is positioned close to the surface of the shaft support side rear wall 546. Further, as shown in FIG. 50, the left and right bent passage portions 772b are formed in a U-shape so as to be almost full of the width of the ball passage unit 770 in order to weaken the momentum of the sphere that has dropped from the tank rail member 740 to the front and rear bent passage portions 772a. It is formed by bending.

  Further, although the vertical passage portion 772c is formed in a substantially vertical shape, it is slightly curved and formed, and a cutout portion 775 is formed in one bent passage wall 771 constituting the vertical passage portion 772c. A ball breakage detecting piece 776 whose upper end is supported by a support shaft 777 is attached to 775 so as to be swingable. A ball break switch 778 is attached to the side of the ball break detection piece 776, and an actuator 779 of the ball break switch 778 is in contact with the ball break detection piece 776. The ball break detection piece 776 and the ball break switch 778 constitute a ball break detection mechanism for detecting a ball break in the vertical passage portion 772c.

  Thus, when a ball is present in the vertical passage portion 772c, the ball piece detection piece 776 is pressed by the ball present in the vertical passage portion 772c and the actuator 779 is pushed to turn on the ball piece switch 778. When no ball is present in the portion 772c due to clogging or ball deficiency, the ball piece detecting piece 776 swings into the vertical passage portion 772c, and the actuator 779 turns off the ball piece switch 778. When the ball break switch 778 is turned off, the rotation of the payout motor 815 of the prize ball unit 800, which will be described later, stops and the payout of the prize ball is stopped.

  A stopper protrusion 780 is formed at the lower end of the notch 775 in order to prevent excessive swinging of the ball breakage detecting piece 776 to the opposite side of the passage, and the ball passage unit 770 has a ball. A ball clogging insertion groove 781 is formed in the vertical passage portion 772 c corresponding to the cut detection piece 776. The ball clogging insertion groove 781 inserts a pin from the rear surface side of the ball passage unit 770 to prevent clogging of the ball breakage detection piece 776 when it is difficult to swing the ball breakage detection piece 776 due to ball clogging or the like. This is provided to eliminate the problem. Further, the other bent passage wall 771 facing the ball piece detecting piece 776 is formed in a bulging shape slightly toward the ball piece detecting piece 776 side. This is because when a ball is present in the vertical passage portion 772c, the ball break detection piece 776 is surely pressed to turn on the ball break switch 778.

  Further, a stop hole 782 and a positioning boss 783 are formed in the ball path unit 770 at a position avoiding the above-described ball drop path 772. The positioning boss 783 is engaged with a positioning pin 574 formed on the shaft support side rear wall 546 of the main body frame 3, and the stop hole 782 is a passage unit mounting boss similarly formed on the shaft support side rear wall 546. 562. Thus, to attach the ball passage unit 770 to the main body frame 3, as shown in FIG. 47, the passage unit attachment boss 562 and the stop hole 782 are made to coincide with each other while the positioning boss 783 is engaged with the positioning pin 574. In this state, the screw 784 can be screwed from the stop hole 782. Further, the ball passage unit 770 is formed with a cover body engaging groove 785 that engages with an engaging piece of the cover body 1250 in the middle of one side, and is connected to the prize ball unit 800 at the lower part. A connecting lid member 786 is rotatably provided.

  As shown in FIG. 49, the connecting lid member 786 is configured by projecting a pair of passage walls 790 projecting in an arc shape on the back surface of a rectangular plate member, and the lower surface of the ball passage unit 770 The projecting shaft 789 as the rotating shaft projecting from the tip of the support piece 788 extending from the both ends of the connecting lid member 786 is fitted into the supporting projecting piece 787 serving as the shaft support projecting from the left and right ends of the connecting lid 786. Thus, it is pivotally supported. In addition, the connecting lid member 786 is extended below the ball passage unit 770 by closing, and the passage formed by the passage wall 790 and the downstream end portion of the ball dropping passage 772 communicate with each other (see FIG. 51B). The state shown in FIG. 51) and the state where the passage formed by the passage wall 790 and the downstream end of the ball dropping passage 772 do not communicate with each other (the state shown in FIG. 51A). A guide projection 791 that guides the support piece 788 of the connecting lid member 786 when projecting from the opened state to the closed state projects from the lower end of the rear surface of the ball path unit 770.

  Thus, in a state where the ball passage unit 770 is fixed to the shaft support side rear wall 546 of the main body frame 3, and the prize ball unit 800 is also mounted on the shaft support side rear wall 546 as described later (FIG. 51). In the state shown in (A)), the connecting lid member 786 is closed and the rear surface thereof is locked by the locking elastic claw 820 provided in the prize ball unit 800, so that the ball drop path 772 of the ball path unit 770 and the prize ball The bent passage 803 of the unit 800 is communicated with the passage wall 790 so that a ball falling on the ball dropping passage 772 of the ball passage unit 770 can be guided to the bent passage 803 of the prize ball unit 800. The reason why the rotatable connecting lid member 786 is provided in the ball passage unit 770 is that the award ball unit 800 can be easily attached to and detached from the main body frame 3 as will be described later, and the attachment and detachment thereof is possible. This is to prevent the space formed between the ball path unit 770 and the prize ball unit 800 from being hindered from falling smoothly.

  Further, between the pair of bent passage walls 771 projecting from the ball passage unit 770, the projecting height is provided on the pivot side rear surface wall 546 of the main body frame 3 so as to gradually decrease toward the downstream side. By inserting the award ball guide projection 561, the upstream portion of the ball drop passage 772 is placed on the rear side so that the upper end inlet 773 of the ball drop passage 772 is located substantially at the lower center of the two rows of passages 742 of the tank rail member 740. It is formed as a front / rear bent passage portion 772a that bends in the front / rear direction when viewed from the side. Accordingly, in the configuration in which the balls flowing down in two rows by the pair of alignment gears 747 are alternately sent one by one to the prize ball unit 800 side, the balls are smoothly sent one by one to the prize ball unit 800 through the ball drop passage 772. Can do. Further, according to this configuration, since it is not necessary to form the ball drop passage 772 from an assembly of a plurality of members, the number of parts constituting the ball drop passage 772 can be reduced, and the ball drop passage 772 can be assembled. Workability can be improved.

  In addition, the sphere that has fallen from the tank rail member 740 in the front / rear bent passage portion 772a weakens its momentum by passing through the left / right bent passage portion 772b, and then is sent to the winning ball unit 800 through the vertical passage portion 772c. . The vertical passage portion 772c into which the ball is fed in a state where the momentum is weakened is provided with a ball break detection mechanism (a ball break detection piece 776 and a ball break switch 778) for detecting the ball break. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably detect a break in the ball drop passage 772, in other words, a break in the ball supplied to the winning ball unit 800 (a ball break).

<Prize ball unit>
Next, the prize ball unit 800 disposed on the downstream side of the above-described ball path unit 770 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 52 to 55. 52 is an exploded perspective view as seen from the back side of the prize ball unit 800.

  The unit base body 801 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape (this plate portion may be referred to as a “bottom surface”), and a pair of bent passages projecting toward the plate-like unit sub plate 825 side. A bent passage 803 is formed by the wall 802. The bent passage wall 802 protrudes from the center of the upper part of the unit base body 801 to the middle of the downstream side at a distance slightly larger than the diameter of the sphere. It also serves as side walls on both ends of the unit base body 801 from the downstream end to the downstream end. In addition, the middle bent passage wall 802 is largely divided into left and right portions to form a distribution space 805 in which a sprocket 807 serving as a ball feed rotating body is arranged, and a unit base body 801 from the lower portion of the distribution space 805. A passage partition wall 809 is formed in a projecting manner so as to form a pair of the bent passage walls 802 divided to the left and right until the downstream end.

The passage partition wall 809 is also largely divided into left and right, and a motor storage space 814 for storing the payout motor 815 is formed inside the divided passage partition wall 809. That is, the payout motor 815 is housed and fixed in a motor housing space 814 that is located at a position avoiding the ball passage (bending passage 803, prize ball passage 810, ball removal passage 811) and within the depth width dimension of the ball passage. Is done. The bent passage 803 is formed in a meandering shape so as to weaken the pressure applied to the sprocket 807 of the spheres staying in the passage 803 and reaches the distribution space 805, but the upstream side of the distribution space 805 An elliptical opening 804 is formed on the bottom surface of the. The opening 804 stores small dust or the like that has entered the bent passage 803, and can collect dust or the like that is collected when the prize ball unit 800 is removed from the main body frame 3.

  Next, the gears 843, 844, 847 and the detection disk 850 provided in the gear region 840 formed in the unit sub plate 825 will be described. As described above, the tip of the motor shaft 818 of the payout motor 815 protrudes from the surface (rear side) of the unit sub plate 825 through the shaft insertion hole 842 formed in the aluminum heat radiating plate 841 of the unit sub plate 825. The first gear 843 (drive gear) is fixed to the protruding portion. Above the first gear 843, a second gear 844 (rotation transmission gear) that meshes with the first gear 843 is press-fitted into the back surface (front side) of the gear cover 866 and is formed in the aluminum heat radiating plate 841. A shaft 845, the other end of which is supported in the shaft hole 846, is rotatably provided. Above the second gear 844, a third gear 847 (rotation transmission gear) that meshes with the second gear 844 is a unit sub-plate. A shaft 848 press-fitted in a shaft hole 849 formed in 825 is rotatably provided. Further, above the third gear 847, a detection disk 850 having a gear portion 852 (driven gear) that meshes with the third gear 847 is rotatably provided on a rotary shaft 808 that supports the sprocket 807. .

  As shown in FIG. 55, the tip of the motor shaft 818 is loosely fitted in a receiving hole formed in the gear cover 866. The rotating shaft 808 is supported by being pressed into a bearing cylinder 806 formed on the unit base body 801 and supported at the other end by a bearing hole formed on the gear cover 866. The sprocket 807 is rotatably supported in the distribution space 805 through a shaft through hole 864 formed slightly below the center of the 840, and the detection disk 850 is formed in the space formed by the unit sub plate 825 and the gear cover 866.

However, as shown in FIG. 55, since the rear end portion of the sprocket 807 is engaged with the center front surface portion of the detection disk 850, the sprocket 807 and the detection disk 850 are integrated around the rotation shaft 808. It is designed to rotate. Accordingly, when the dispensing motor 815 is driven to rotate, the rotation is transmitted to rotate the sprocket 807 via the first gear 843, the second gear 844, the third gear 847, and the gear portion 852 of the detection disk 850.

  The outer periphery of the detection disk 850 is formed to be slightly larger than the circle of the gear portion 852, and the outer peripheral portion protruding outward from the gear portion 852 has the same number as the recesses of the sprocket 807 (in the illustrated case). 3) detection notches 851 are formed. This detection notch 851 is detected by a light emitting / receiving sensor 855 (rotation position detecting means) provided on a sensor substrate 854 sandwiched and supported by a substrate mounting portion 857 formed on the surface of the unit sub-plate 825. . The sensor 855 monitors whether or not the sprocket 807 is rotating normally by detecting the number of detection notches 851 within a predetermined interval during the payout operation. If abnormal rotation is detected by the sensor 855 (in many cases, the ball is engaged with the sprocket 807), the sprocket 807 is rotated forward and backward a predetermined number of times to eliminate the abnormal state (for example, the ball engagement state). It is. Note that the number of balls actually paid out is detected by the payout ball detection sensor 812 provided in the prize ball passage 810 and used for counting. As shown in FIG. 55, the other end side of the sensor substrate 854 is also sandwiched between substrate mounting portions formed on the gear cover 866.

  As described above, of the plurality of gears provided in the gear region 840, only the second gear 844 is rotatably provided on the rotary shaft 845 that is press-fitted to the gear cover 866 side. A mounting hole 867 is formed at a position corresponding to the tip of the mounting boss 823 that protrudes from the unit base body 801 and passes through the through hole 858 of the unit sub-plate 825. The mounting hole 867 and the mounting boss 823 are aligned with each other while meshing the teeth of the second gear 844 provided on the gear cover 866 side with the teeth of the first gear 843 and the third gear 847 provided on the unit sub-plate 825 side. In this state, the base unit body 451 and the gear cover 866 are integrally fixed in a state where the unit sub plate 825 is sandwiched by screwing with the screw 868 from the rear surface of the gear cover 866. Further, on one side surface of the gear cover 866, there is a wiring processing piece 869 that hangs and collects wiring connected to the relay board 830 (for example, wiring connecting the relay board 830 and a payout control board 1186 described later). Projected.

  The configuration of the prize ball unit 800 has been described above. In the state where the unit base body 801, the unit sub-plate 825, the relay board 830, the board cover 835, and the gear cover 866 are assembled, as shown in FIG. The cylindrical main body portion of the payout motor 815 is positioned below the bent passage 803 through which the ball to be taken out is guided. Further, the unit base body 801 includes a sprocket 807 arranged in a ball passage (bending passage 803, prize ball passage 810, ball removal passage 811) and a depth width dimension of the ball passage at a position avoiding the ball passage. A payout motor 815 housed in a motor housing space 814 formed therein, and the rotation of the motor shaft 818 of the payout motor 815 along the non-blocking surface side of the unit sub-plate 825 is rotated by the sprocket 807. A rotation transmission member (first gear 843, second and third gears 844, 847, and a gear portion 852 of the detection disk 850) for transmitting to the shaft 808 is provided, and in the distribution space 805 of the dispensing motor 815 and the bending passage 803. A plurality of gears 843, 844, 84 provided in the gear region 840 on the rear surface of the unit sub-plate 825 with the sprocket 807 serving as a payout member disposed. It has become a consolidated structure to be driven to rotate by 850 (852). That is, the sprocket 807 and the payout motor 815 are accommodated within the depth width of the ball passage (bending passage 803, prize ball passage 810, ball removal passage 811) formed between the unit base body 801 and the unit sub plate 825. In addition, the rotation transmission members (the first gear 843, the second and third gears 844 and 847, and the gear portion 852 of the detection disk 850) that connect the sprocket 807 and the payout motor 815 are connected to the non-blocking surface side of the unit sub-plate 825. Therefore, the prize ball unit 800 can be made thinner than the one in which a payout motor and a part of the sprocket are arranged outside the ball passage.

  In addition, such a prize ball unit 800 has a ball passage (bending passage 803, prize ball passage 810, ball removal passage 811) in the prize ball unit 800 formed in a single passage shape, so Thinning is achieved. That is, unlike the conventional case in which the payout motor 815 is protruded to the front side, the rear side or the side of the prize ball unit, when attached to the rear side of the shaft support side rear wall 546 of the main body frame 3, Any part of the prize ball unit 800 can be structured not to protrude further rearward. 55, the front end portion of the payout motor 815 is configured to slightly protrude from the rear surface of the unit base body 801. This protruding portion is formed on the shaft support side rear wall 546 as shown in FIG. Since it faces the front portion of the main body frame 3 from the lower discharge motor escape opening 572, as a result, it protrudes by a dimension obtained by subtracting the thickness of the shaft support side rear wall 546 from the protruding dimension. Thus, the amount of protrusion toward the front side relative to the shaft support side rear wall 546 is small. Further, by adopting such a configuration, in the present embodiment, the game board 4 is provided between the pivotal support side rear wall 546 of the main body frame 3 to which the prize ball unit 800 is attached and the back surface of the game board 4. A storage space for storing the rearward protruding portion of the gaming apparatus can be increased in the depth width direction.

  Further, in order to attach the prize ball unit 800 configured as described above to the pivotal support side rear wall 546 of the main body frame 3, as shown in FIG. 47, the hook-shaped engaging portion 824, the engaging protrusion 565, After the alignment, the lower end of the prize ball unit 800 is hooked in the locking groove 573, and the prize ball unit 800 is pivotally supported to engage the hook-like engagement portion 824 and the engagement protrusion 565. The lower side wall 546 is pressed down while being in close contact with the side rear wall 546. At this time, since the lower end portion of the prize ball unit 800 and the locking groove 573 are engaged, and the hook-shaped engaging portion 824 and the engaging protrusion 565 are engaged, the mounting itself is completed. When the prize ball unit 800 is moved upward, the respective engagement states are easily released. To prevent this, the lock elastic claw 564 is engaged with the button insertion engagement hole 821. It is supposed to be.

  That is, the lock elastic claw 564 and the button insertion engagement hole 821 are engaged to prevent the prize ball unit 800 from moving upward in the attached state. In this way, after the prize ball unit 800 is attached, the connecting lid member 786 of the ball path unit 770 is rotated as described above and locked by the locking elastic claw 820, so that the ball path of the ball path unit 770 drops. The downstream end of the passage 772 and the upstream end of the bent passage 803 of the prize ball unit 800 can be communicated with each other through a passage constituted by a pair of passage walls 790. When the prize ball unit 800 is attached, the downstream end of the prize ball passage 810 is connected to the prize ball entrance 927 of the full tank unit 900 described in detail later, and the downstream end of the ball removal path 811 is connected to the ball removal connection path. Connected to the upstream end of 880.

  On the other hand, when the prize ball unit 800 is removed, the engagement by the latching elastic claws 820 is released and the connecting lid member 786 is rotated forward, and then the detachable button 822 is pressed to release the locking elastic claws 564. It is moved to the front side to release the engagement between the lock elastic claw 564 and the button insertion engagement hole 821, and then the prize ball unit 800 is pulled upward with the detachable button 822 pressed, and the prize ball unit 800. By releasing the engagement between the lower end portion of the lens and the locking groove 573 and the engagement between the hook-shaped engagement portion 824 and the engagement protrusion 565 and pulling out the prize ball unit 800 to the front side, Easy to remove.

<Full tank unit>
The full tank unit 900 disposed on the downstream side of the above-described prize ball unit 800 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 56 to 62. 56 is a perspective view showing the relationship between the prize ball unit 800 and the full tank unit 900. FIG. 57 is a perspective view of the full tank unit 900. FIG. 58 is a front view of the full tank unit 900. 59 is an exploded perspective view, FIG. 59 is an exploded perspective view seen from the back of the full tank unit 900, and FIG. 60 is a partially broken perspective view showing the relationship between the full tank unit 900 and the foul port 610, 61 is a cross-sectional view taken along the bottom rocking plate 907 provided in the full tank unit 900, and FIG. 62 is a cross-sectional view showing the relationship between the full tank unit 900 and the foul port 610.

  The full unit 900 is placed and fixed on the full unit mounting portion 531 of the main body frame 3 as described above. As shown in FIG. 58, the full unit is formed in a box shape having an open upper surface. 901 and a lid body 926 that covers the upper surface of the box main body 901. The box main body 901 is configured such that the sphere that has flowed in from the downstream end of the prize ball passage 810 is guided in a zigzag shape inside and discharged from the outlet 921. Therefore, a side guide passage 902 that guides a sphere that has flowed in from a prize ball inlet 927 formed in the lid 926 to the side from one end to the other end is formed in the upstream portion. A side guide receiving portion 903 formed in a concave arc shape so as to guide the sphere toward the side is provided at one end portion of the side guide passage 902 directly below the prize ball entrance 927, and the side guide passage 902 is provided. A buffer member 904 is provided on the inner surface of the other end of 902 to receive the impact of the sphere flowing through the side guide passage 902 and guide the sphere downstream.

  In addition, the sphere that collides with the buffer member 904 provided on the inner surface of the other end of the side guide passage 902 is guided to flow in the opposite direction to the flow of the sphere in the side guide passage 902 after changing the direction to the downstream side. A reverse side guide passage 905 is formed. The sphere that has flowed through the reverse side guide passage 905 is then guided to the front guide passage 920 formed forward, and the outlet 921 formed at the lower end of the front guide passage 920 forms the above-described dish unit 300. Guided to prize ball contact 451.

  By the way, a bottom surface opening 906 is formed on the bottom surface on the upstream side of the reverse side guide passage 905 so as to open over the entire bottom surface. ing. The bottom surface opening 906 is formed in a substantially square concave shape having an open top surface, and a pair of shaft projections 911 project from the side walls in the front-rear direction when viewed from the front inside. A circular spring mounting recess 912 for positioning the lower end of the spring 913 is formed on the concave bottom surface of the bottom surface opening 906. On the other hand, the bottom rocking plate 907 that closes the bottom opening 906 is formed in a substantially square shape, and is semicircular that is pivotally supported by fitting to the pivot projection 911 when viewed from the front on the downstream side of the bottom surface. A bearing portion 908 is formed to project.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 61, a spring locking projection 910 that locks the upper end of the spring 913 protrudes downward from the center of the back surface of the bottom rocking plate 907. Therefore, the bottom rocking plate 907 is biased in the direction in which the upstream side is always rocked upward by the biasing force of the spring 913. The spring 913 does not swing the bottom rocking plate 907 downward even when a normal number of payout balls (for example, 15) is placed on the bottom rocking plate 907 at a time. A predetermined number of balls equal to or greater than the payout number is formed by a spring member having a spring coefficient that swings downward when placed on the bottom swing plate 907. Further, a detection protrusion 909 protrudes forward on the upstream side of the bottom rocking plate 907. The detection protrusion 909 passes through the communication hole 929 and is positioned in a switch storage space 914 described below when the bearing portion 908 of the bottom rocking plate 907 is fitted and supported on the shaft support protrusion 911. It has become.

  In addition, a switch storage space 914 for storing the full tank switch 916 is integrally formed on the outer side of the upstream end side wall of the reverse side guide passage 905. In order to mount the full switch 916 in the switch storage space 914, a switch mounting portion 918 is formed on the outer surface of the side wall of the upstream end portion of the reverse side guide passage 905 above the switch storage space 914. A mounting piece 917 of the switch holder 915 that holds the full switch 916 is fixed to the portion 918 by a screw 919. The full tank switch 916 is configured as a switch composed of a projector and a light receiver, and detects ON / OFF when the detection protrusion 909 swings up and down between the light receiver and the light projector.

  Further, a foul ball passage 922 is formed on one side downstream of the reverse side guide passage 905. As shown in FIG. 60, the foul ball passage 922 is bent and formed so that the foul ball inlet 923 communicates with the foul port 610 described above and the downstream side communicates with the upstream side of the front guide passage 920. Has been. For this reason, the foul balls taken into the foul mouth 610 are guided from the foul ball inlet 923 through the bent foul ball passage 922 to the front guide passage 920, and further through the outlet 921 and the prize ball connecting rod 451 to the dish unit. Returned to 300.

  The box main body 901 includes engagement pieces that are engaged with unit engagement grooves 532 formed in the full unit mounting portion 531 on both sides of the outlet 921 and one side of the foul ball inlet 923. A latching projection 925 that engages with a latching piece 928 formed on the lid body 926 is formed while a projection 924 is provided. The latching protrusion 925 is appropriately formed on the upper left and right side walls of the box main body 901.

  On the other hand, the lid 926 is formed in a plate shape so as to cover the upper surfaces of the side guide passage 902, the reverse side guide passage 905, the front guide passage 920, and the foul ball passage 922 of the box main body 901. A square prize ball inlet 927 is opened in the passage 902 at a position corresponding to the upstream end. Further, around the lid 926, a latching piece 928 for engaging with the latching projection 925 of the box main body 901 projects downward.

  In the full tank unit 900 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 56, the balls paid out from the prize ball passage 810 of the prize ball unit 800 are moved upstream from the prize ball entrance 927 to the side guide passage 902. It enters and is guided toward the side by the side guide receiving portion 903 and collides with the buffer member 904. The sphere colliding with the buffer member 904 is guided in the reverse side guide passage 905 toward the downstream side in the direction opposite to the guide direction of the side guide passage 902 and guided to the front guide passage 920, and the front guide passage 920. From the exit 921 through the prize ball communication rod 451 to the dish unit 300. Further, the foul sphere entered from the foul ball entrance 923 is also weakened by the bent foul ball passage 922 and joined to the front guide passage 920, and passes through the prize ball contact hole 451 from the outlet 921 of the front guide passage 920. Guided to the dish unit 300.

  In normal times, when the sphere naturally flows in the full tank unit 900, when the sphere moves from the side guide passage 902 to the reverse side guide passage 905, it falls to the bottom rocking plate 907. Since the elastic force of the spring 913 is strong when the number of normal prize balls is paid out, the bottom rocking plate 907 does not rock, and the detection protrusion 909 is a light projecting / receiving method as shown by the solid line in FIG. The full tank switch 916 is placed between the projector and the light receiver, and the switch is not conductive (OFF). On the other hand, when the prize balls are stored in the dish unit 300 and the full tank unit 900 is also filled with balls, the bottom fluctuations formed in the entire upstream area of the front guide path 920 and the reverse side guide path 905 are formed. The bottom rocking plate 907 rocks downward against the biasing force of the spring 913 due to the pressure of the sphere stored on the moving plate 907, and the detection protrusion 909 is projected as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The light receiving full tank switch 916 is disconnected from the light projector and the light receiver, and the switch becomes conductive (ON). When the full tank switch 916 is turned on, the rotational driving of the payout motor 815 of the prize ball unit 800 is stopped (if the ON signal is derived while the predetermined number of prize balls are being paid out, the predetermined number of prize balls). Will be stopped after it has been paid out).

  As described above, in the full tank unit 900, the full tank switch is operated by the bottom rocking plate 907 having a width substantially the same as the width of the bottom of the path of the path through which the ball flows (in the illustrated case, the reverse side guide path 905). 916 is actuated and biased by a biasing member (spring 913) so that the bottom rocking plate 907 swings when a certain amount of balls are placed without swinging due to the normal flow of the balls. Therefore, compared to the conventional case where a ball is placed on the bottom surface of some passages or the like to detect a clogged ball, the placement of the balls in that portion of the passage is not detected due to the clogging. It can be surely prevented. This can reliably detect a full tank.

  Moreover, in the full unit 900 according to the present embodiment, the full unit is formed on the main body frame as in the conventional case because it is detachably attached to the full unit mounting portion 531 of the main body frame 3. It is not necessary to form a passage for a full tank structure in the main body frame as compared with the one assembled in the dispensing passage. Further, by making the inside of the full tank unit 900 a zigzag passage, it is possible to guide to the dish unit 300 while weakening the momentum of the balls paid out from the prize ball passage 810 of the prize ball unit 800. The awarded ball does not jump out of the dish unit 300. Further, in the full tank unit 900 according to the present embodiment, the foul ball passage 922 that guides the foul ball joins the ball in the middle of the front guide passage 920 that pays out the award ball. The foul sphere can be merged without hindering the flow of the sphere.

The tamper-proof members 1023 and 1032 are attached to the lower part of the U-shaped base 1001.

  The U-shaped base body 1001 is formed by bending a metal so as to have a U-shaped cross section, and slidably providing a door frame sliding rod 1040 and a body frame sliding rod 1050 therein. The width dimension is extremely thin as compared with a conventional locking device that is concentrated on a base body having an L-shaped cross section. As described above, the size of the game board 4 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction is greatly increased, and the space surrounded by the side walls 540 to 543 of the main body frame 3 is increased. The mounting structure that allows the locking device 1000 to be attached to the back side of the main body frame 3 by reducing the width dimension of the locking device 1000 according to the present embodiment because the size between the outer periphery and the outer periphery is extremely small. It is because it improved as. And since the open side of the U-shaped cross section of the U-shaped base 1001 is attached so as to face the back surface of the main body frame 3, when the lock device 1000 is attached to the main body frame 3, the door frame is provided inside. The sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 have a tamper-proof structure in which the U-shaped base 1001 is completely covered except for the hook portions 1041, 1054, and 1065.

In this state, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the first engagement protrusion 1017 of the engagement cam 1016 is rotated in a direction to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020, as shown in FIG. The tip of the first engagement protrusion 1017 engages with the lower engagement hole 1062 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 to push the lower hook member 1052 downward against the urging force of the spring 1048. The connecting wire rod 1053 and the upper hook member 1051 that are connected are also pushed down and lowered. For this reason, since the locking projections 38 and 41 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame are released, the main body frame 3 is pulled by pulling the main body frame 3 to the front side. 3 can be opened to the outer frame 2.

  When the main body frame 3 is closed, the hook portions 1054 and 1065 are lifted by the urging force of the spring 1048 (the same lifted position as in the state shown in FIG. 70A). , 1065 is inclined downward toward the outer side, so that the upper side inclined portion of the hook portions 1054, 1065 is forced into the closing projections 38, 41 by forcibly pressing the main body frame 3 against the outer frame 2. Since the main body frame sliding rod 1050 is lowered downward, the upward claw portions of the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing projections 38 and 41 are locked again. The body frame sliding rod 1050 rises and returns to the locked state.

  On the other hand, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the second engagement protrusion 1018 of the engagement cam 1016 is rotated in a direction to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020, as shown in FIG. The front end of the two engaging protrusions 1018 engages with the ascending engagement hole 1045 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 and pushes the door frame sliding rod 1040 upwardly against the urging force of the spring 1048. For this reason, since the hook state 227 of the door frame 5 and the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 are released, the door frame 5 is pulled by pulling the door frame 5 to the front side. The main frame 3 can be opened.

  When the door frame 5 is closed, the door frame hook portion 1041 is lowered by the urging force of the spring 1048 (the same lowered position as in the state shown in FIG. 70A). Since the lower side of the hook portion 1041 for the slope is inclined upward toward the outside, the lower side slope portion of the door frame hook portion 1041 is hooked to the hook cover 227 by forcibly pressing the door frame 5 against the main body frame 3. The door frame sliding rod 1040 rises upward, and finally the downward claw portion of the door frame hook portion 1041 and the hook cover 227 are locked again. The sliding rod 1040 moves down and returns to the locked state. The door frame sliding rod 1040 according to the present embodiment is formed to have substantially the same length as the entire length of the U-shaped base 1001, and the U-shaped base 1001 is substantially the side surface in the vertical direction of the main body frame 3. The door frame hook portion 1041 that is attached over the entire length and that is a locking portion with the door frame 5 is formed at three locations of the upper end portion, the center portion, and the lower end portion of the door frame sliding rod 1040. For this reason, the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 are securely locked in the entire length in the vertical direction, and an illegal act of forcibly opening the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 and inserting an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire from there There is also the advantage that it cannot be done.

  As described above, the lock device 1000 according to this embodiment releases the lock of the main body frame 3 with respect to the outer frame 2 by rotating the key inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 in one direction, and rotates in the other direction. By doing so, locking of the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3 can be cancelled | released. In this case, an illegal act of hooking a piano wire or the like on the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 without inserting the key into the cylinder lock 1010 and lowering it may be performed. Are not allowed to perform such cheating. The first structure for preventing such fraud is a lock mechanism composed of a first fraud prevention member 1023 and a second fraud prevention member 1032, and the second fraud prevention structure is a U-shaped base 1001. The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are accommodated in the closed space.

  First, the operation of the lock mechanism, which is the first fraud prevention structure, will be described with reference to FIG. First, in a state where the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 3 are closed, as shown in FIG. 71 (A), the closing projection 41 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 are It is in a contact state. In this state, the first tamper-proof member 1023 is rotated counterclockwise by the biasing force of the spring 1035 so that the stopper piece 1027 enters the tamper-proof notch 1007 and the stopper piece 1027 is tamper-proof notch. The main body frame sliding rod 1050 at a position corresponding to 1007 is engaged with an engagement notch 1066 formed on the lower hook member 1052. Therefore, even if the piano wire or the like is hooked onto the main body frame sliding rod 1050 and pulled down, the stopper piece portion 1027 and the engagement notch portion 1066 are engaged. Unauthorized pulling down (unlocking) becomes impossible, and an illegal act of opening the main body frame 3 cannot be performed.

  On the other hand, when the main body frame 3 is normally unlocked by inserting the key into the cylinder lock 1010, the first engagement protrusion of the engagement cam 1016 is rotated by rotating the key as shown in FIG. The piece 1017 is rotated so as to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020. When the first engagement protrusion 1017 is rotated, the inclined portion 1024 of the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the side surface of the first engagement protrusion 1017 come into contact with each other. The stopper piece 1027 starts to rotate around the angle 1025 in the clockwise direction shown in the figure, and the stopper piece 1027 also moves away from the tamper-proof cutout 1007. For this reason, the engagement between the stopper piece 1027 and the engagement notch 1066 is released. At this time, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is in a position where the spring 1035 is extended and the contact portion 1037 is retracted. When the engagement cam 1016 is further rotated in this state and the first engagement protrusion 1017 is also rotated, the tip of the first engagement protrusion 1017 is engaged with the lower engagement hole 1062 of the lower hook member 1052. Since the entire body frame sliding rod 1050 is lowered, the locking state between the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing projections 38 and 41 of the outer frame 2 is released, and the main body frame 3 is attached to the outer frame 2. Can be opened.

  Note that when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is in contact with the restriction protrusion 1031, and thus the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member The positional relationship with 1032 is substantially the same as the state shown in FIG. When the main body frame 3 is closed in this state, the closing projection 41 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 contact from the front, and finally the state shown in FIG. 71 (A) is obtained. . For this reason, the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1032 do not get in the way when the main body frame 3 is closed. In the present embodiment, the first tamper-proof member 1023 and the second tamper-proof member 1032 prevent only the lowering operation of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 from being illegally performed. If the frame sliding rod 1050 is opened improperly, the door frame sliding rod 1040 can be easily opened manually after being released, and the illegal act of raising the sliding rod with a piano wire or the like is practically difficult to perform. For this reason, it has been devised to prevent unauthorized operation of the body frame sliding rod 1050.

  Further, even in the lock mechanism that is the above-described first fraud prevention structure, it is impossible to disable the function of the lock mechanism by swinging the first fraud prevention member 1023 with a piano wire or the like. Absent. Therefore, assuming that the lock function of the lock mechanism is disabled by an unauthorized action, in the present embodiment, in the state where the lock device 1000 is attached to the main body frame 3, the door frame provided inside is used. Since the sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are housed in the closed space of the U-shaped base 1001 except for the hook portions 1041, 1054, and 1065, they are completely covered.

  In the normal state, the movable piece 1404 has the slider 1436 moved to the lowered position by a biasing force of a spring (not shown), and the slider 1436 is located at the lowered position, so The guide surface 1404a of 1404 is in a state of standing upright obliquely (see FIG. 90B). When the prize winning port solenoid 1408 is driven, the slider 1436 moves to the raised position against the biasing force of the spring, so that the rotating shaft 1432 rotates and moves via the crank member 1434. The piece 1404 is rotated so that the leading surface 1404a is slightly higher than the base end (see FIG. 90A).

  On the other hand, since the sub movable piece 1410 is normally fixed at a position eccentric from the base end of the arm member 1438, the drive pin 1440 is driven with respect to the arm member 1438 by the weight of the arm member 1438 and the sub movable piece 1410. The sub-slider 1442 that is connected to each other is also in the lowered position, and the side on which the sub-guide surface 1410c of the sub-movable piece 1410 is more distant from the rotating shaft 1432 (right and left with respect to the accessory winning hole 1402) (Outside in the direction) is lowered, and is in a position hidden by the front decoration portion 1420 in a front view (see FIG. 90B). When the accessory winning port sub-solenoid 1412 is driven, the sub-slider 1442 moves to the ascending position so that the drive pin 1440 connected to the sub-slider 1442 is sandwiched between the rotating shaft 1432 and the opposite side. The fixed sub movable piece 1410 is rotated to the ascending position, and the sub guide surface 1410c of the sub movable piece 1410 is in a state in which the side of the prize winning port 1402 is lowered (see FIG. 90A). reference).

  As shown in the figure, when the movable piece 1404 is located at the raised position, the secondary movable piece 1410 is located at the lowered position, and the secondary guide surface 1410c of the secondary movable piece 1410 is more than the guide surface 1404a of the movable piece 1404. Is in a position that is lowered downward. In addition, when the movable piece 1404 is located at a position that surrounds, the sub movable piece 1410 is located at the raised position, and the mutual guide surface 1404a and the secondary guide surface 1410c are in the same direction side (the bonus prize winning port 1402 side). In addition to being in a lowered state, the sub guide surface 1410c of the sub movable piece 1410 is positioned higher than the guide surface 1404a of the movable piece 1404, and is supplied onto the sub guide surface 1410c. A game ball is supplied onto the guide surface 1404 a of the movable piece 1404.

  The relationship between the movable piece 1404 and the sub movable piece 1410 in the prize winning unit 1400 of this example is that the sub movable piece 1410 is lowered when the movable piece 1404 is raised, and the sub movable piece 1410 is raised when the movable piece 1404 is lowered. In this way, the probability of receiving a game ball to the prize winning port 1402 varies greatly depending on the state of the movable piece 1404 and the sub-movable piece 1410 that are movable per unit time. More specifically, when the guide surface 1404a of the movable piece 1404 is higher than the sub guide surface 1410c of the sub movable piece 1410, even if a game ball is supplied on the sub guide surface 1410c of the sub movable piece 1410, Since the game ball is restricted from moving toward the prize winning port 1402 by the outer wall surface 1404b of the movable piece 1404, the game ball supplied on the guide surface 1404a of the movable piece 1404 substantially wins the prize winning hole 1402. can do. On the other hand, when the guide surface 1404a of the movable piece 1404 is at a position lower than the sub guide surface 1410c of the sub movable piece 1410, the game ball supplied on the sub guide surface 1410c is supplied onto the guide surface 1404a of the movable piece 1404. As a result, not only the movable piece 1404 but also the game ball supplied on the auxiliary guide surface 1410c of the auxiliary movable piece 1410 can win the prize winning opening 1402.

  As a result, in a state where the movable piece 1404 is lowered and the sub movable piece 1410 is raised, the game ball flowing down in a wider range than before can be awarded to the accessory prize winning opening 1402, so The probability of winning a prize increases, and the interest of the player can be enhanced, and it is possible to drive the game ball to aim at the timing, suppressing the excitement of the player and lowering the interest Be able to.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 90 (B), in this prize winning unit 1400, in a normal state where the pair of movable pieces 1404 are in the raised position, the pair of movable pieces 1404 are reversed with the upper side slightly opened. The front decoration part 1420 of the front main body member 1406 is decorated so as to have a letter C shape and to be continuous with the guide surfaces 1404a.

<Game contents>
The game content in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 77 and FIGS. 109 to 111.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game ball stored in the storage unit 381 of the dish unit 300 is transparent when the player rotates the operation handle unit 461 disposed at the lower right of the door frame 5. A game with a game ball is started by being driven into an upper portion of a game area 605 disposed on the front surface of the game panel 599. The game ball that is driven into the upper part of the game area 605 flows down in the game area 605 on the left side or the right side of the prize winning unit 1400 and the center frame 1700 depending on the strength of the game. Note that the game ball driving strength can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the operation handle portion 461, and the game ball can be driven more strongly as it is rotated in the clockwise direction. Further, in the game area 605, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted on the front surface of the game panel 599 with a predetermined gauge arrangement at an appropriate position, and the game balls come into contact with the obstacle nails so that The speed is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball so that the movements can be enjoyed.

  A game ball flowing down the side surface side of the center frame 1700 extends from approximately the center in the vertical direction of the front side member 1500 to the center side in the left and right direction, and a game area between the main body 1502 of the front side member 1500 and the side surface of the center frame 1700 When it passes through the chucker 1510 arranged in 605 and is detected by the passage sensor 1512, the main control board 1350 acquires a normal random number as a result of the normal lottery based on the detection signal. Then, based on the normal random number, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 1536 in the special symbol display 1530 is variably displayed (two LEDs are alternately lit and blinking), and for a predetermined time (for example, between 15 seconds and 30 seconds). ) A normal symbol based on a normal random number (ordinary lottery result) acquired after the elapse is stopped (any LED is lit). The variation display of the normal symbol is performed based on the normal symbol variation pattern corresponding to the ordinary random number.

  Specifically, when the acquired ordinary random number is a “normal hit” random number, the normal symbol indicating a hit is stopped and displayed (only one LED of the normal symbol display 1536 is lit), and the acquired ordinary random number is “normal”. In the case of a “lost” random number, a stop symbol is displayed with a normal symbol indicating a loss (only one of the other LEDs of the normal symbol indicator 1536 is lit). When a normal symbol suggesting a hit is stopped and displayed, the pair of movable pieces 1606 upright to the left and right of the second start port 1604 are reversed in a predetermined time (for example, between 0.3 seconds and 3 seconds). The game ball is expanded so that the winning probability of the game ball to the second start port 1604 can be increased.

  By the way, in this example, if the passing of the game ball is detected by the passing sensor 1512 while the normal symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display 1536 while the normal symbol is changing, the normal symbol that is changing is stopped and the normal random number obtained earlier is displayed. Until the result is determined, the ordinary random number (including the ordinary symbol variation pattern) acquired based on the detection signal from the passage sensor 1512 is temporarily stored, and the display is suspended. The number of ordinary random numbers (also referred to as the number of reserves) is displayed on a normal symbol hold display 1538. This normal symbol hold display 1538 is composed of two LEDs, and suggests the number of memories by combining the light emission state of each LED that is turned off / on / flashing. In this example, up to four Memorize and display. When the number of memories exceeds 4, the ordinary random number acquired based on the detection signal from the passage sensor 1512 is discarded.

  The game ball that has flowed down the side surface of the center frame 1700 wins a general winning opening 1520 arranged below the chucker 1510 and is detected by the general winning opening sensor 2532. Based on the detection signal, the main control board In 1350, a predetermined payout command is transmitted to the payout control board 1186, and the payout control board 1186 controls the payout motor 815 of the prize ball unit 800 in accordance with the payout command, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of games. The ball is paid out to the storage unit 381.

  On the other hand, the game balls that have been driven into the game area 605 and have flowed downward from the center frame 1700 win the first start ports 1602 disposed at the left and right ends of the start port unit 1600 and receive the first start port sensor 2534. Is detected, the main control board 1350 transmits a predetermined payout command to the payout control board 1186 based on the detection signal, and the payout control board 1186 responds to the payout command by the payout control board 1186. By controlling 815, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out to the storage unit 381.

  Further, when the game ball wins the first start port 1602 and is detected by the first start port sensor 2534, the main control board 1350 based on the detection signal, a predetermined first special random number as the first special lottery result. Is acquired. Then, based on the acquired first special random number, after the variable display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 1532 in the special display 1530 is started, it corresponds to the acquired first special random number. The first special symbol is stopped and displayed as the first special lottery result. As a result of the first special lottery by the start winning at the first start port 1602, either “long win” or “short win” is drawn with a predetermined probability (for example, “long win “The lottery probability is 1/300, and the“ short win ”lottery probability is 299/300). When “long winning” is drawn, the pair of movable pieces 1404 for closing the prize winning port 1402 in the prize winning unit 1400 and the sub movable piece 1410 outside the movable piece move and move for a predetermined time (for example, (For 1 second to 5 seconds) It becomes possible to win a game ball in the prize winning port 1402, and when “short win” is drawn, “short win” is drawn with a probability of 299/300). When “long winning” is drawn, the pair of movable pieces 1404 for closing the prize winning port 1402 in the prize winning unit 1400 and the sub movable piece 1410 outside the movable piece move and move for a predetermined time (for example, It is possible to win a game ball to the prize winning port 1402 for 0.3 seconds to 1 second).

  In this example, when a game ball wins the first starting port 1602 and is detected by the first starting port sensor 2534, a predetermined number (for example, from the winning ball unit 800) based on a payout command from the main control board 1350. 3) game balls are paid out to the storage unit 381. In addition, when a game ball wins the prize winning port 1402 and is detected by the prize winning port sensor 1424, a predetermined number (for example, 13) from the prize ball unit 800 based on a payout command from the main control board 1350. The game balls are paid out to the storage unit 381.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the game ball that has won the prize winning port 1402 is the second bonus of the movable accessory unit 2004 disposed below the bonus prize winning unit 1400 and behind the gaming panel 599. It is sent to the main body 2402. The second accessory main body 2402 in the movable accessory unit 2004 is always reciprocated in the left-right direction by the second accessory driving unit 2404 (see FIG. 109), and the entry position of the game ball into the accessory winning hole 1402 In addition, depending on the position of the second accessory body 2402 in the left-right direction, a game ball that has won a prize winning port 1402 can be viewed from either side of the winning ball outlet 2412 arranged on the left and right sides of the second accessory body 2402. The player can be excited by whether it is released or not. In addition, since the second accessory body 2402 always reciprocates in the left-right direction, the movement position of the second accessory body 2402 and the timing at which the accessory winning prize opening 1402 is opened are estimated. The game ball is driven so as to be aimed at the prize winning port 1402 so that the game ball is discharged from the winning ball discharge port 2412 to the first bonus body 2206, so that the game ball can be operated. It has become.

  The game balls that have won the prize winning port 1402 have a guide part 1426 that discharges to the second accessory body 2402 side, a winning ball receiving part 2406 of the second accessory body 2402, a vertical guide path 2408, and the like. Since it is invisible from the side, even if the second actor main body 2402 is located at the approximate center in the left-right direction, the game ball is guided from the vertical guide path 2408 to the horizontal guide path 2410 until the game ball is guided to the left and right. It is impossible to recognize which side of the winning ball discharge port 2412 of the player has been distributed to, and the player who determines which side of the winning ball discharge port 2412 the game ball that has won the prize winning port 1402 is distributed to the player Can be entertained.

  The game ball that has won the winning combination winning port 1402 is released from the winning ball discharge port 2412 on either the left or right side of the second accessory main body 2402 to the rolling part 2210 of the first accessory main body 2206. As described above, when the first winning body 2206 is detected by the winning prize sensor 1424 when a game ball is won by the winning prize opening 1402 opened by the start winning at the first starting slot 1602. The two first motors 2230 of the first accessory driving unit 2208 are driven, and the first accessory body 2206 moves up and down while swinging (see FIGS. 107 and 108). ), The game ball is supplied to the rolling part 2210 of the movable first accessory body 2206.

  That is, generally, the game ball released from the winning ball discharge port 2412 of the second accessory body 2402 that reciprocates in the left-right direction is supplied to a higher side than the center of the first accessory body 2206 in the left-right direction. Then, the probability of entering the first V entrance 2002a arranged in the center increases, and conversely, when the power is supplied to the lower side, the probability of entering the first V entrance 2002a decreases. However, depending on the movable state of the first accessory main body 2206 and the timing at which the game ball is supplied, the probability of entering the first V inlet 2002a may become low immediately after being supplied to the higher side. In some cases, the probability of entering the first V inlet 2002a may increase immediately even if supplied to the lower side.

  The winning ball discharge port 2412 of the second accessory main body 2402 is a croon, and the game ball is released after rotating around the winning ball discharge port 2412. Is not released immediately from the winning ball outlet 2412, but is released after staying at the winning ball outlet 2412 to some extent, so that the position and inclination of the first accessory body 2206 change moment by moment, It is possible to entertain and entertain the player with respect to the release of the game ball from the ball discharge port 2412.

  When the game ball released from the winning ball discharge port 2412 of the second accessory main body 2402 is supplied to the rolling portion 2210 of the first accessory main body 2206, the supplied game ball is low. It will roll in the direction. Depending on the position of the game ball supplied to the rolling unit 2210, the speed of the game ball that rolls on the rolling unit 2210, and the like, the game ball is inserted into the groove 2210a disposed at the approximate center in the left-right direction of the rolling unit 2210. If not guided, the game ball is discharged from the second discharge portion 2214 disposed at the left and right ends of the rolling portion 2210 and is captured by the first lose ball capture portion 2262 disposed below the second discharge portion 2214. After that, it is detected by the first lose mouth sensor 2294 and becomes a dead ball and is discharged to the outside of the game board 4.

  On the other hand, when the game ball supplied to the rolling part 2210 is guided rearward by the groove part 2210a depending on the supply position, the rolling speed, the movable state of the first accessory body 2206, and the like, It will be received in either the outlet 2212 or the first V inlet 2002a. When a game ball is received at the first V entrance 2002a, the game ball is released downward from the rear portion of the center of the first accessory body 2206 in the left-right direction. After being captured, it is detected by the first V entrance sensor 2292, so that the ball entering the first V entrance 2002a is confirmed, and the special winning game state ("" A big hit (game) is generated.

  By the way, when the game ball guided to the rear side by the groove 2210a of the rolling part 2210 in the first accessory body 2206 enters the first discharge port 2212 and is released below the first accessory body 2206. Thus, the water is supplied onto the storage shelf 2264 of the storage unit 2204 disposed below the first discharge port 2212. The storage plate 2266 disposed at the front end of the storage shelf 2264 is detected by the prize winning port sensor 1424 when a game ball wins the prize winning opening 1402 opened by the start winning at the first starting slot 1602. When the storage plate solenoid 2304 is driven by the main control board 1350, the storage ball solenoid 2304 is positioned at the elevated position for a predetermined time (for example, 5 to 30 seconds), and the game ball supplied to the storage shelf 2264 is elevated. It is blocked by the plate 2266 and stored on the storage shelf 2264.

  When a game ball is stored in the storage shelf 2264, it is detected by a storage ball detection sensor 2312 arranged below the storage shelf 2264, and the detection signal is sent to the peripheral control board 2600 via the main control board 1350. Then, display of the countdown effect image as the effect image is started on the liquid crystal display device 640. This countdown effect image is detected by the main control board 1350, starting from the detection of the game ball by the prize winning port sensor 1424 by winning the winning prize winning opening 1402 triggered by the start winning at the first starting slot 1602. After the game ball is detected by the stored ball detection sensor 2312 based on a predetermined time until the storage plate 2266 descends and a time from the start point until the game ball stored in the stored ball detection sensor 2312 is detected. The time until the storage plate 2266 descends is calculated, and a countdown corresponding to the calculated time is displayed.

  Then, when the countdown of the countdown effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 640 is completed (actually, when a predetermined time has elapsed after the game ball is detected by the prize winning port sensor 1424), the countdown effect image is stored by the main control board 1350. The drive of the plate solenoid 2304 is released, the storage plate 2266 descends, and the game balls stored in the storage shelf 2264 have the second V inlet 2002b in the second accessory main body 2402 forward from the front end of the storage shelf 2264. It is discharged to the upper part of the frame 2402c.

  As described above, since the second accessory main body 2402 always reciprocates in the left-right direction, the second V inlet 2002b disposed in front of the storage shelf 2264 also reciprocates in the left-right direction, When a game ball is released from the storage shelf 2264 when the center in the left-right direction of the shelf 2264 substantially coincides with the second V inlet 2002b, the game ball enters the second V inlet 2002b (FIG. 109). See). When a game ball enters the second V entrance 2002b, the game ball is captured by the second V entrance capture portion 2268 disposed below the second V entrance 2002b, and then detected by the second V entrance sensor 2296. A game ball entering the entrance 2002b is confirmed, and a special advantageous game state ("big hit" game) is generated in which the prize winning port 1402 can win in a predetermined pattern.

  Accordingly, when the second V inlet 2002b that reciprocates in the left-right direction and the storage shelf 2264 storing game balls substantially coincide with each other, the storage plate 2266 descends and the game balls stored in the storage shelf 2264 are transferred from the storage shelf 2264. The player can be thrilled and excited by whether or not it is released, and at the same time, when a game ball is released from the storage shelf 2264, a predetermined countdown effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 640. The countdown effect further increases the player's excitement by raising the sense of expectation for the V prize by exciting the player.

  Even if the game ball cannot enter the first V inlet 2002a in the first accessory body 2206, if the game ball is distributed to the first discharge port 2212 side, it is supplied to the storage shelf 2264. Since the opportunity to enter the second V entrance 2002b can be obtained, it is possible to hold the expectation for the V entry twice with one game ball, making the player more enjoyable In addition, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in games.

  On the other hand, when the game ball released from the storage shelf 2264 does not enter the second V inlet 2002b, the game ball is received into the second loser opening 2414 arranged on the left and right of the second V inlet 2002b, and the second V entrance After being captured by the second losing ball capturing unit 2270 disposed on the rear side of the capturing unit 2268, it is detected by the second losing port sensor 2298, becomes a dead ball, and is discharged outside the game board 4.

  In this example, the main control board 1350 wins the prize winning port 1402 and the number of game balls detected by the prize winning port sensor 1424, the first V inlet sensor 2292, and the second V inlet sensor 2296. The number of game balls detected by the first lose mouth sensor 2294 and the second lose mouth sensor 2298 is collated, and if the number of game balls does not match as a result of the collation, a prize is awarded. It is determined that ball clogging has occurred in the mouth unit 1400 or the movable accessory unit 2004, and a notification to that effect is made.

  On the other hand, when a game ball wins a second start port 1604 disposed at the center in the left-right direction of the start port unit 1600 and is detected by the second start port sensor 1616, the main control board 1350 is based on the detection signal. A predetermined second special random number as the second special lottery result is acquired. Then, based on the acquired second special random number, the second special symbol displayed on the second special symbol display unit 1540 in the special display unit 1530 starts to be changed and then corresponds to the acquired second special random number. The second special symbol is stopped and displayed as the second special lottery result. As a result of the second special lottery by the start winning at the second starting port 1604, either “big hit” or “losing” is drawn at a predetermined probability (for example, “big hit” lottery) Probability is 1/500). When the “hit” is drawn, a special advantageous game in which the pair of movable pieces 1404 for closing the prize winning port 1402 in the prize winning unit 1400 and the auxiliary movable piece 1410 on the outside move in a predetermined pattern. A state (eg, a “hit” game) is generated.

  In this example, when a game ball wins the second starting port 1604 and is detected by the second starting port sensor 1616, a predetermined number (for example, from the winning ball unit 800) based on a payout command from the main control board 1350. 4) game balls are paid out to the storage unit 381.

  When a game ball wins the second starting port 1604, the special indicator 1530 and the second special symbol display 1540 are variably displayed according to the acquired second special random number (according to the second special lottery result). In addition, the liquid crystal display device 640 displays an effect image corresponding to the second special random number (second special lottery result). Specifically, on the liquid crystal display device 640, the display of variation of each symbol row is started in a state where a series of symbol rows composed of a plurality of different symbols are displayed (for example, three rows), and then sequentially stopped. When all the symbol sequences are finally stopped and displayed, the determination result of the special random number extracted by the combination of the symbols that are stopped and displayed is suggested to the player side. That is, according to the special lottery result by the start winning, an effect image that is stopped and displayed so as to suggest the special lottery result after a plurality of symbol sequences are variably displayed is displayed. Note that since the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 640 are larger and easier to see than the second special symbols on the second special symbol display 1540, the player generally pays attention to the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 640. Will be.

  By the way, in the “big hit” game described above, the main control board 1350 opens and closes the pair of movable pieces 1404 of the prize winning unit 1400 and raises the sub movable piece 1410 outside thereof. When a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses, or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins a prize winning port 1402, the movable piece is satisfied. A pattern for stopping the opening / closing operation of 1404 and the sub movable piece 1410 (one pattern is referred to as one round) is repeated a predetermined number of times. The number of rounds in this “big hit” game is determined by the first special lottery result (first special random number) or the second special lottery result ( 2nd special random number), the first special symbol indicating the first special lottery result or the second special lottery result or the second special symbol is the first special symbol indicator 1532 or the second special random number. The number of rounds selected is displayed on the round display 1544 at the same time as being displayed on the two special symbol display 1540.

  In addition, when the start winning prize to the first starting opening 1602 is made and the prize winning opening 1402 can be won, the above-mentioned number of rounds is displayed on the round indicator 1544. Therefore, by displaying a larger number of rounds, It is possible to increase the sense of expectation for entering the V entrance 2002, and to increase the interest of the player by operating the game ball aiming at the prize winning port 1402 in order to enter the V entrance. It has become.

  By the way, in this example, three types of rounds of 3 rounds (3R), 8 rounds (8R) and 15 rounds (15R) are prepared as the number of rounds, and it is advantageous to the player during the number of rounds. An advantageous gaming state is generated.

  Further, during the “hit” game, the main control board 1350 causes the first V inlet sensor 2292 and the second V inlet sensor 2296 of the first V inlet 2002a and the second V inlet 2002b in the movable accessory unit 2004 to be V It does not function as an entrance sensor, and even if a game ball enters the V entrance 2002 during a “hit” game, it does not become a “hit”. During the “hit” game, the first V entrance sensor 2292 and the second V entrance sensor 2296 function as a lose mouth sensor, and the number of game balls won in the winning feature winning opening 1402; It is used to check the number of game balls discharged from the movable accessory unit 2004. Further, during the “hit” game, the storage plate 2266 is in a lowered state, whereas the first accessory body 2206 of the first movable accessory 2200 moves up and down while continuously swinging. So that the movement of the first accessory body 2206 can be enjoyed and the movement of the game ball rolling on the rolling part 2210 of the first accessory body 2206 can be enjoyed. It has become.

  In addition, when a game ball wins a start at the first starting port 1602 and the second starting port 1604, the first special symbol and the second special symbol fluctuate in the first special symbol display unit 1532 and the second special symbol display unit 1540. When the first special symbol or the second special symbol cannot be variably displayed during the display or during the “big hit” game as the special advantageous gaming state, the game ball is transferred to the first starting port 1602 and the second starting port 1604. When a winning ball is detected by the first start port sensor 2534 and the second start port sensor 1616, until the first special symbol and the second special symbol can be displayed, the first start port The first special random number or the second special random number acquired based on the detection signal from the sensor 2534 or the second start-up port sensor 1616 is stored and the display is suspended, and the stored first special random number is stored. And second special The number of random numbers, and displays in the first special symbol reservation display 1534 and the second special symbol reservation display 1542. The first special symbol hold indicator 1534 and the second special symbol hold indicator 1542 are each composed of two LEDs, and the number of memories is suggested by the combination of the light emission states of the respective LEDs that are turned off / on / flash. In this example, up to four each are stored and displayed. When the number of memories exceeds four, the acquired first special random number or second special random number is discarded.

  In addition, if the game ball that has been driven into the game area 605 does not win any of the general prize opening 1520, the first start opening 1602, the second start opening 1604, and the prize winning opening 1402, the game area 605 Is provided at the lower end of the center in the left-right direction and is discharged from the out port 606 to the lower rear side of the game board 4. In addition, regardless of whether the game ball wins any of the general winning port 1520, the first starting port 1602, the second starting port 1604, and the accessory winning port 1402, the winning game ball is returned to the gaming area 605. Without being detected by the all winning opening winning number detection sensor 2536, the game board 4 is discharged to the lower rear side.

  Further, in this example, when an object that generates magnetic force such as a magnet is brought close to the vicinity of the V inlet 2000 and detected by the magnetic sensor 2302, it is determined that an improper act is being performed on the main control board 1350. The game is stopped and the cheating warning indicator 2005 is lit to issue a warning. Further, in the main control board 1350, until the game ball is won and discharged to the outside of the movable accessory unit 2004 after the game ball wins the first starting port 1602 and is opened. When the detection signal from the vibration sensor 2538 can be received and the vibration sensor 2538 detects vibration during that time, it is determined that the cheating is being performed, the game is stopped, and the cheating warning indicator 2005 is turned on. And a warning is issued.

  If it is determined by the main control board 1350 that fraud has been performed, not only the fraud warning indicator 2005 but also the liquid crystal display device 640 will indicate that, and a warning sound or In addition to the warning sound being emitted, various LEDs provided in the decorative body 2100 emit red light.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment is inserted into the opening 599e of the game panel 599 when the game ball driven into the game area 605 is received into the general winning opening 1520 of the receiving member 1514. After being guided in a predetermined direction along the panel surface by the guide path portion 1524, it is discharged from the discharge portion 1526 of the receiving member 1514 to the rear side of the gaming panel 599. Since the space on the back side of 599 is not divided, the space on the back side of the game panel 599 can be made as large as possible as one space, and the space on the back side of the transparent game panel 599 is three-dimensional. The movable accessory unit 2004, the decorative body 2100, etc. can be arranged without any problem, and the movable accessory unit 2004, the decorative body 2100, etc. It is possible to prevent the interest is reduced on the game attracts attention strongly.
