  Here, the first reflecting surface 78 is provided on an inclined portion 75a formed in a flat shape that is inclined so as to be uniformly spaced from the rotation shaft 70a as it goes forward from the rear end portion of the first reflecting member 75. Thus, the light incident from the rear side of the rotation shaft 70a is reflected in the crossing direction of the rotation shaft 70a. Here, the first reflection surface 78 faces the cutout portion 71c of the movable member 70, and the light irradiated to the first reflection surface 78 from the first LED 59 is passed through the cutout portion 71c. The light is reflected toward the needle-like portion 72 (second reflecting member 80) in a direction intersecting the rotation shaft 70a of the movable member 70 (a direction substantially perpendicular to the rotation shaft 70a). Further, the first reflecting surface 78 is formed to have a size that substantially matches the opening of one light emitter housing portion 67 formed in the partition member 61 when viewed from the rear end side of the rotating shaft 70a. When the movable member 70 is rotated, the light beams from the first LEDs 59 facing the respective light emitter housing portions 67 are sequentially and individually faced to the openings of the light emitter housing portions 67. Reflected toward the portion 72 (second reflecting member 80). That is, when the movable member 70 rotates, light from the first LED 59 located behind the first reflecting surface 78 (for example, the first LED 59 located in the center in FIG. The light from the first LED 59 that is reflected toward the reflecting member 80) and is not located behind the first reflecting surface 78 (for example, the first LED 59 located on the left and right in FIG. 17) is reflected on the front surface of the base 71. The light is irradiated to the back side of the portion 71a, and light is transmitted forward through each light transmitting portion 73 of the front surface portion 71a. The first reflection surface 78 is formed by sticking a reflection sheet to the inclined portion 75a.

  As shown in FIGS. 10, 11, or 13, the second reflecting member 80 is formed in a shape that substantially matches the back side of the front surface of the needle-like portion 72, and a rear plate portion 81 that faces the light transmitting portion. The outer wall 83 extending forward from the outer peripheral edge of the rear plate 81 and the light reflected by the first reflective surface 78 of the first reflective member 75 provided on the front surface of the rear plate 81. Is formed in a box shape having a reflection surface portion (second reflection portion) 82 that reflects toward the light transmission portion 73 and opens forward. The second reflecting member 80 is configured so that the end of the second reflecting member 80 on the rotating shaft 70a side is fitted between the positioning pieces 77 and 77 of the first reflecting member 75. It is fixed to the back side of the shaped part 72.

  Here, the second reflecting member 80 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin material, and is an outer surface facing the outer surface 72b of the needle-like portion 72 in the outer surface side (rear surface) of the rear plate portion 81 and the outer wall portion 83. In addition, light reflection processing is performed to reflect light toward the inside. That is, in the outer wall portion 83 of the second reflecting member 80, the surface facing the first reflecting member 75 (first reflecting surface 78) is not subjected to light reflection processing, and is reflected by the first reflecting surface 78. The light thus made can enter the inside of the second reflecting member 80 (between the back side of the front surface of the needle-like portion 72 and the reflecting surface portion 82 of the second reflecting member 80). In addition, as said light reflection process, a conventionally well-known process which can reflect light can be employ | adopted as white coating, metal plating process, mirror surface sticker sticking, and others. In the following description, the outer peripheral wall portion of the second reflecting member 80 facing the first reflecting member 75 (first reflecting surface 78) is referred to as a transmitting wall portion 83a.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 13, FIG. 14 or FIG. 19, the reflection surface portion 82 formed on the second reflection member 80 is closer to the light transmission portion 73 as the distance from the first reflection surface 78 increases. A plurality of second reflecting surfaces (reflecting surfaces) 82 a inclined so as to be close to each other are formed, and the light reflected by the first reflecting surface 78 is directed toward the light transmitting portion 73 by each second reflecting surface 82 a. It is designed to reflect. That is, each of the second reflecting surfaces 82a extends in a direction intersecting with the direction of irradiation of the reflected light from the first reflecting surface 78 and is formed in parallel with the direction of irradiation of the reflected light. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, FIG. 14 or FIG. 19, the reflecting surface portion 82 has a saw blade-shaped cross section broken in the irradiation direction of the reflected light from the first reflecting surface 78.

  As shown in FIG. 13 or FIG. 14, the rear plate portion 81 of the second reflecting member 80 is closer to the light transmitting portion 73 as it is separated from the end portion on the first reflecting member 75 (first reflecting surface 78) side. Inclined to be close to. As the distance from the first reflecting member 75 (first reflecting surface 78) increases, the distance L (see FIG. 14) from the front end portion of the second reflecting surface 82a to the light transmitting portion 73 is gradually reduced. . Thus, the reflection from the first reflection surface 78 to the reflection surface portion 82 (each second reflection surface 82a) located at the end portion of the second reflection member 80 that is separated from the first reflection member 75 (first reflection surface 78). The light reaches and can be reflected by the entirety of the reflecting surface portion 82 (each second reflecting surface 82a), so that the entire light transmitting portion 73 can be brightened with substantially uniform brightness. It has become.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 11 or FIG. 13, the inner shape of the second reflecting member 80 is substantially the inside of the second reflecting member 80 (between the light transmitting portion 73 and the reflecting surface portion 82). A plate-like transparent member 85 formed in a matching shape is disposed. The transparent member 85 is formed with a light diffusing portion 85a on the entire surface facing the reflecting surface portion 82 (second reflecting surface 82a) of the second reflecting member 80, and the end surface of the transparent member 85 is second. The reflection member 80 is configured to face the transmission wall portion 83a. That is, the end surface of the transparent member 85 is opposed to the first reflecting surface 78 through the transmitting wall portion 83a of the second reflecting member 80, and is reflected by the first reflecting surface 78 and transmitted through the transmitting wall portion 83a. Light is incident on the transparent member 85. As the light diffusion portion 85a, the transparent member 85 may be subjected to light diffusion processing such as diamond cutting or knurling, and a light diffusion sheet may be attached to the transparent member 85. Good.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the formation surface of the light diffusing portion 85 a in the transparent member 85 is inclined so as to approach the light transmitting portion 73 side as the distance from the end portion close to the first reflecting surface 78 increases. The surface of the transparent member 85 where the light diffusion portion 85a is formed is configured to be substantially parallel to a line connecting the front end portion of the second reflecting surface 82a. Accordingly, the light that has been transmitted through the transmission wall 83a and entered the transparent member 85 is diffused by the light diffusion portion 85a and applied to the entire reflection surface portion 82 (each second reflection surface 82a). .

  Therefore, in the movable member 70, the light that has entered the transparent member 85 and diffused by the light diffusion portion 85 a is reflected by the reflection surface portion 82 (second reflection surface 82 a) of the second reflection member 80 and further reflected. Reflected light from the surface portion 82 (second reflection surface 82a) is diffused by the light diffusion portion 85a and then irradiated to the light transmission portion 73 of the needle-like portion 72. Thereby, the reflected light from the first reflecting surface 78 is irradiated on the entire reflecting surface portion 82 (second reflecting surface 82a) of the second reflecting member 80, and the entire light transmitting portion 73 has a substantially uniform brightness. It is brightened by.

And a front ball receiving piece 124 extending rearward.

  As shown in FIG. 27, a front fixing plate 125 is fixed to the outer surface of the front supporting plate portion 122 (the surface opposite to the surface facing the front cover body 112). An insertion hole 125a is formed at a position aligned with the shaft hole 112a of the front cover body 112 and the insertion hole 122a of the front support plate portion 122, and the first shaft 140 inserted through the shaft hole 112a and the insertion hole 122a is formed. The front fixing plate 125 is inserted into the insertion hole 125a. As shown in FIG. 27 or FIG. 28, the front support plate portion 122 of the front half body 121 is provided with an engagement protrusion (first engagement portion) 122b protruding forward, and the front side fixing portion is fixed. The engaging protrusion 122b is configured to protrude forward of the front fixing plate 125 through an insertion hole 125b formed at a corresponding position of the plate 125. The end of the engaging protrusion 122b is connected to a movable body decorative cover 117a attached to the front half 121.

  On the other hand, the basic form of the rear half 131 is substantially symmetrical with the front half 121. That is, as shown in FIG. 27, the rear half 131 includes a rear support plate 132 in which an insertion hole 132a is formed at a position aligned with the shaft hole of the rear cover 113, and the rear support plate. A rear base portion 133 extending from the portion 132 to the outside in the radial direction of the first movable body 120 (on the side of the ball guide passage 94), and provided at the tip end side of the rear base portion 133 and extending forward. And a rear ball receiving piece 134 that contacts the rear end portion of the front ball receiving piece 124. In addition, a rear fixing plate 135 is fixed to an outer surface of the rear support plate portion 132 (a surface opposite to the surface facing the rear cover body 113), and the rear cover body is fixed to the rear fixing plate 135. An insertion hole 135a is formed at a position aligned with the shaft hole 113a of 113 and the insertion hole 132a of the rear support plate portion 132, and the first shaft 140 inserted through the shaft hole 113a and the insertion hole 132a is fixed to the rear side.

And a single flat plate-shaped ball receiving piece 120a is formed.

  In other words, the first movable body 120 (the front half body 121 and the rear half body 131) can swing around the first shaft 140. Here, the first movable body 120 has a pachinko ball between the distal end portion and the bottom surface of the apparatus main body 111, with the distal end portion of the first movable body 120 approaching the bottom surface of the apparatus main body 111. A closed position where passage is impossible (see the first position, FIG. 26, FIG. 29 (a), FIG. 33, etc.), and the tip of the first movable body 120 is separated from the bottom surface of the apparatus main body 111. It is configured to swing between an open position where the pachinko ball can pass between the bottom surface of the apparatus main body 111 (second position, see FIG. 25, FIG. 29B, FIG. 30, etc.). As shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, the ball receiving piece 120 a of the first movable body 120 is formed so that the end on the first shaft 140 side is separated from the bottom surface of the apparatus main body 111 in the open position. The passage port 120b through which the pachinko ball can pass is defined between the bottom surface of the apparatus main body 111 and the ball receiving piece 120a. Here, in the state where the first movable body 120 is in the open position, the passage port 120b faces the ball passageway 102a formed in the passage forming member 101. The pachinko balls that have passed are configured to be able to enter the ball entrance 102a.

  That is, the pachinko ball that has won the special prize opening 93 a of the second special prize device 93 disposed in the frame-shaped decorative body 90 and rolled the ball guide path 94 is downstream of the ball guide path 94. When the first movable body 120 of the discharge ball directing device 110 is in the open position when released from the end, the ball receiving piece 120a of the first movable body 120 and the device main body 111 define the first movable body 120. Then, it passes through the ball passage 102a of the passage forming member 101 through the passage port 120b, and flows down the first ball passage 104 (ball collection passage RA). On the other hand, when the first movable body 120 of the discharge ball effect device 110 is in the closed position when a pachinko ball is released from the downstream end of the ball guide passage 94, the first movable body 120 A pachinko ball cannot pass through the passage opening 120b defined by the ball receiving piece 120a and the apparatus main body 111, but comes into contact with the first movable body 120 and bounces back to the ball guide passage 94. Further, the pachinko sphere in contact with the first movable body 120 depending on the contact angle of the pachinko sphere with respect to the first movable body 120, the relationship with the operation position of the first movable body 120 when the pachinko sphere contacts, and the like. Is not bounced back into the ball guide passage 94 and falls below the first movable body 120, the inclined guide portion 99 formed in the frame-shaped decorative body 90 and a ball receiving recess 162 (described later) are used. It is designed to be collected in the ball collection section on the back side of the pachinko machine.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 28, a connecting projection 126 protruding radially outward of the front side fixing plate 125 is provided on the outer side of the front side fixing plate 125 on the upper side of the apparatus main body 111 (front cover body 112). It is formed to extend to. The other end of the tension spring 128 having one end fixed to the hooking portion 114 formed on the apparatus main body 111 (front cover body 112) is fixed to the connecting protrusion 126, and the tension The first movable body 120 is constantly biased toward the closed position by the biasing force of the spring 128. In addition, an arm portion (linking portion) 126 a extending rearward is formed at the protruding end portion of the connecting protrusion 126, and a swing arm member 143 that swings the second movable body 142. The arm portion 126a is inserted into a long hole 143a (described later).

  As shown in FIGS. 28, 31 and the like, the actuating member 137 is formed in a disk shape substantially aligned with the front fixing plate 125, and is centered on the operating member 137 aligned with the insertion hole 125a of the front fixing plate 125. An insertion hole 137a is formed at a position, and the end of the first shaft 140 inserted through the insertion hole 125a of the front fixing plate 125 is inserted into the insertion hole 137a of the operating member 137. That is, the operating member 137 is pivotally supported with respect to the apparatus main body 111 so as to be rotatable at a position coaxial with the first movable body 120. Here, the insertion hole 137a of the operating member 137 is formed to have a larger diameter than the first shaft 140, and the first shaft 140 is loosely fitted into the insertion hole 137a. The front side fixing plate 125 and the actuating member 137 are configured to rotate separately. A gear portion 137b that meshes with the drive gear 115b is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the operating member 137. Accordingly, when the driving gear 115b is rotated by the driving motor 115, the operating member 137 is oscillated independently about the first shaft 140.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 28 and 31, the actuating member 137 is formed with a fan-shaped notch 138 that expands in a fan shape from the center of rotation (first shaft 140) toward the outside in the radial direction. The engagement protrusion 122b inserted through the insertion hole 125b of the front fixing plate 125 is located inside the fan-shaped notch 138. Therefore, when the operation member 137 is rotated by driving the drive motor 115, the end surface (second engagement portion) 138a of the operation member 137 that defines the fan-shaped notch 138 contacts the engagement protrusion 122b. Press in contact. The engagement protrusion 122b is formed to have a smaller diameter than the opening of the fan-shaped notch 138, and only one end surface 138a of the operating member 137 that defines the fan-shaped notch 138 is the engagement protrusion 122b. The other end face 138b comes into contact with the engaging protrusion 122b. In the following description, among the end surfaces that define the fan-shaped notch 138 in the operating member 137, the end surface that presses the engaging protrusion 122b is referred to as a pressing end surface 138a, and the end surface that is separated from the engaging protrusion 122b. This is referred to as a separation end surface 138b.

  Further, a position detection piece 137c extending in a fan shape toward the radially outer side is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the operating member 137, and the position detection is performed on the apparatus main body 111 (front cover body 112). A position detection sensor 139 (position detection means) for detecting the piece 137c is provided. When the position detection sensor 139 detects the position detection piece 137c of the operation member 137, the original position of the operation member 137 (FIG. a)) is detected. Here, in the original position where the position detection sensor 139 detects the position detection piece 137c of the operating member 137, the engagement in the state where the first movable body 120 is held at the closed position by the biasing force of the tension spring 128. The pressing end surface 138a of the actuating member 137 is configured to abut on the upper side of the mating protrusion 122b.

  That is, when the drive motor 115 is driven, the operation member 137 is rotated (counterclockwise in FIG. 29) so that the pressing end surface 138a of the operation member 137 pushes down the engagement protrusion 122b, and the operation member 137 rotates. Along with this, the pressing end surface 138a presses the engaging protrusion 122b so that the first movable body 120 is rotated from the closed position toward the open position against the urging force of the tension spring 128. On the contrary, the first movable body 120 is released by the urging force of the tension spring 128 by rotating the operating member 137 in the direction in which the pressing end surface 138a is separated from the engaging protrusion 122b (clockwise in FIG. 29). Rotated from position to closed position. Then, when the position detection sensor 139 detects the position detection piece 137c and the operation member 137 returns to the original position, the drive motor 115 is stopped. At this time, the first movable body 120 is held in the closed position by the biasing force of the tension spring 128. That is, by detecting the original position (position detection piece 137 c) of the operating member 137 with the position detection sensor 139, the first movable body 120 can be detected without directly detecting the rotational position of the first movable body 120. It is indirectly detected that the body 120 is in the closed position.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 31 (a) to 31 (c), when the first movable body 120 is in the closed position, the first movable body 120 (engagement protrusion 122b) is moved from the closed position. The separation end surface 137b of the actuating member 137 is separated in the direction of rotation to the open position. Therefore, when the first movable body 120 is in the closed position, the first movable body 120 can be rotated from the closed position toward the open position by the action of an external force. Thus, in a state where the first movable body 120 is in the closed position, the first movable body 120 is released by an impact (that is, external force) that is released from the downstream end portion of the spherical guide passage 94 and contacts the first movable body 120. The body 120 can be swung toward the open position (see FIG. 31 (c)), and when the first movable body 120 is slightly swung toward the open position, the engagement protrusion 122b By separating from the pressing end surface 138a, the first movable body 120 returns to the closed position by the urging force of the tension spring 128 as the external force acting on the first movable body 120 disappears. Even if the first movable body 120 is rotated from the closed position toward the open position by the action of an external force, the operating member 137 is not rotated, and position detection by the position detection sensor 139 is performed. The detection state of the piece 137c is maintained, and the operating member 137 is held in the original position while the drive motor 115 is stopped.

(About the second movable body 142)
The second movable body 142 is a movable body decorated with an “ear” decoration, as shown in FIG. 27 to FIG. 29, etc., and is a main body decorative cover 116a attached to the front cover body 112. The second movable body 142 is fixed to a front end portion of a second shaft 144 inserted through a through hole (not shown) formed so as to penetrate the upper right end portion in the front-rear direction. One end portion of a swing arm member (linking portion) 143 is fixed to the rear end portion of the second shaft 144. In addition, a long hole 143a extending along the extending direction of the swing arm member 143 is formed at the other end of the swing arm member 143 so as to open in the front-rear direction. The arm portion 126a formed on the front fixed plate 125 of the first movable body 120 is inserted into the long hole 143a. Therefore, when the front fixing plate 125 (arm portion 126a) is swung by driving the drive motor 115, the swing arm member 143 is swung around the second shaft 144, and the swing As the arm member 143 swings, the second movable body 142 connected to the second shaft 144 swings. That is, the first movable body 120 and the second movable body 142 are configured to swing integrally with the drive motor 115.

(About pachinko ball discharge route)
Next, the configuration relating to the discharge path of the pachinko balls won in the second special winning device 93 disposed in the frame-shaped decorative body 90 of the transparent plate 21 will be described. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 32 to 39, the passage forming member 101 to which the discharge ball effect device 110 disposed in the back unit 35 is fixed, and the movable effect device The pachinko balls are collected by the ball collecting unit with respect to the first decorative member 150 disposed at the lower left portion of 40 and the second decorative member 155 disposed at the lower right portion of the movable effect device 40. A ball collection path RA and first to fourth ball discharge paths RB1 to RB4 are formed. That is, the first decorative member 150 and the second decorative member 155 also function as a passage forming member that forms a ball discharge passage of the pachinko ball.

(About the passage forming member 101)
As shown in FIGS. 26, 30, 32, and 33, the right side of the opening of the back unit 35 receives pachinko balls released from the downstream end of the ball guide passage 94, and the ball collection unit A passage forming member 101 is provided that defines a ball collection passage RA that is discharged to the surface. The passage forming member 101 includes a box-shaped portion 102 formed in a box shape that opens to the rear, and a mounting plate portion 103 that extends upward from the upper rear end of the box-shaped portion 102. When the rear end portion of the forming member 101 is disposed in the back unit 35, the rear opening of the box-like portion 102 is closed by the back unit 35, so that the first ball passage 104 through which the pachinko balls can flow down is formed. It has come to be defined. Here, the first ball passage 104 defined by the passage forming member 101 constitutes a part of the ball collection passage RA. In addition, as shown in FIG. 26, the discharge ball effect device 110 is screwed to the mounting plate portion 103, so that the passage forming member 101 and the discharge ball effect device 110 can be handled as an integral unit. ing.

That is, the pachinko ball that has rolled from the curved surface portion 151 to the third ball passage 160a of the passage member 160 is guided to the second ball passage 157 via the second communication port 155b, and the second The ball is collected in the ball collecting part on the back side of the pachinko machine through the ball passage 157. That is, the passage formed by each of the curved surface portion 151 of the first decorative member 150 and the third spherical passage 160a of the second decorative member 155 discharges the pachinko ball to the ball collecting portion. A path RB2 is configured. Here, the second ball discharge passage RB2 is at a position downstream of the position where the ball detection sensor 106 for detecting the pachinko ball passing through the ball collection passage RA (first ball passage 104) is installed. The pachinko balls that are connected to the ball collection passage RA and pass through the second ball discharge passage RB2 are not detected by the ball detection sensor 106.

  Further, on the back side of the second decorative member 155, as shown in FIG. 35, FIG. 39, etc., an inclination guide that inclines downward as the distance from the first decorative member 150 increases to a position above the passage member 160. The piece 161 is formed so as to protrude rearward. The inclined upper end portion (the end portion on the first decorative member 150 side) of the inclined guide piece 161 is the right end of the movable position restricting protrusion 46 formed on the base member 41 (front case body 42) of the movable effect device 40. The front surface of the base member 41 (front case body 42) is in contact with the rear end of the inclined guide piece 161, and the pachinko ball is directed rightward on the inclined guide piece 161. Can be rolled (see FIG. 22 or FIG. 35). That is, when the movable member 70 (the needle-like portion 72) of the movable effect device 40 is rotated to the movable position, the movable member 70 (the needle-like portion 72) is positioned so as to overlap the inclined guide piece 161 vertically. At the same time, the front side of the movable member 70 (needle 72) is covered and accommodated by the second decorative member 155.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 35, the inclined lower end portion of the inclined guide piece 161 is configured to face above the protruding piece 158, and the pachinko ball that has arrived on the inclined guide piece 161 Rolls on the piece 161 and falls on the protruding piece 158 from the inclined lower end portion, and is guided to the second spherical passage 157 via the first communication port 155a by the inclination of the protruding piece 158, and the second The ball is collected in the ball collecting part on the back side of the pachinko machine through the ball passage 157. That is, the passage formed by the inclined guide piece 161 constitutes the third ball discharge passage RB3 for discharging the pachinko balls to the ball collecting portion. Here, the third ball discharge passage RB3 is at a position downstream of the position where the ball detection sensor 106 for detecting the pachinko ball passing through the ball collection passage RA (first ball passage 104) is installed. The pachinko ball connected to the ball collection passage RA and passing through the third ball discharge passage RB3 is not detected by the ball detection sensor 106.

  As shown in FIGS. 33 and 34, a ball receiving recess 162 that is recessed backward is formed at a position above the first communication port 155a in the second decorative member 155. The discharge ball effect device 110 (first movable body 120) is disposed above the ball receiving recess 162, and the first movable body 120 that has swung from the closed position to the open position is the ball receiving recess. By facing the inside of 162, the operation of the first movable body 120 is not hindered. The lower end portion of the ball receiving recess 162 is configured to face the upper opening of the second ball passage 157, and is released from the downstream end portion of the ball guide passage 94 to be the first movable body 120. When the pachinko ball that has come into contact with the ball falls without being bounced back to the ball guide passage 94, it is guided to the second ball passage 157 via the inclined guide portion 99 and the ball receiving recess 162 of the frame-shaped decorative body 90, and The ball is collected by the ball collecting unit on the back side of the pachinko machine through two ball passages 157.

Note that pachinko balls from the inclined guide portion 99 of the frame-shaped decorative body 90 and the ball receiving concave portion 162 of the second decorative member 155 pass through the ball collection passage RA (first ball passage 104). The ball detecting sensor 106 detects a pachinko ball that has dropped from the inclined guide portion 99 or the ball receiving concave portion 162 because the ball detecting sensor 106 falls to the second ball passage 157 on the downstream side of the arrangement position of the ball detecting sensor 106 that detects the ball. It will never be done.

(Third decorative member 164)
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 37, the third decorative member 164 disposed on the left side of the opening 35a of the back unit 35 has a second lower portion extending upward to the right lower end. The ball restricting piece 165 is formed. The second ball restricting piece 165 is formed to face the left end portion of the base member 41 of the movable effect device 40 and to extend upward from the upper end portion of the base member 41. Further, the lower end portion of the first ball restricting piece 92a formed in the ball guiding path 92 of the frame-shaped decorative body 90 faces the upper end portion of the second ball restricting piece 165, and between the both end portions. It is in close proximity so that pachinko balls cannot pass. Accordingly, the pachinko balls that are in contact with the first and second ball restricting pieces 92a and 165 are guided to the movable effect device 40 and moved to the curved surface portion 151 of the first decorative member 150. Then, the ball is collected in the ball collecting portion on the back side of the pachinko machine through the second ball discharge passage RB2 (the curved surface portion 151 and the third ball passage 160a) and the second ball passage 157.

(Effects of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment configured as described above will be described.

  Pachinko balls launched into the game area 23 along the inner and outer rails 22a and 22b provided on the game board 20 come into contact with the game nails provided on the game board 20 and flow down while changing the flow direction. When the pachinko ball flowing down the game area 23 wins the start winning device 24, the symbol display device 17 starts a required symbol variation effect. As a result of the symbol variation effect, a predetermined symbol is displayed on the symbol display device 17. A big hit occurs when the combination is displayed. When a big hit occurs, according to the symbol combination displayed on the symbol display device 17, the first special winning device 25 provided below the game board 20 and the upper position of the frame-shaped decorative body 90 are provided. One of the second special winning devices 93 is opened, and a big hit effect is performed in the symbol display device 17. As described above, by providing two special winning devices 25 and 93 that are opened when a big hit occurs, diversification of game effects can be achieved. Furthermore, as a result of the symbol variation effect, when a symbol combination that generates a small hit is displayed on the symbol display device 17, a small hit occurs, and the special winning opening 93a of the second special winning device 93 is opened, A small hit effect is performed in the symbol display device 17. That is, by providing a small hit separately from the big hit, the game effect can be further diversified.

(Regarding the production by the movable production device 40)
Then, the movable effect device 40 disposed in the back unit 35 is operated in accordance with the symbol variation effect, the big hit effect, the small hit effect, etc. developed in the symbol display device 17, and the effect due to the operation of the movable member 70. Is done. That is, when the drive motor 50 provided in the movable effect device 40 is driven, the movable member 70 is rotated from the initial position toward the movable position, and when the operation ends, the drive motor 50 drives to the initial position. The movable member 70 is returned. At this time, the drive motor 50 is actuated and controlled so that the rotation angle of the movable member 70 from the initial position is appropriately changed according to the contents of the effect developed by the symbol display device 17, and various game play due to the operation of the movable member 70 is achieved. To improve the fun of games. Here, when the movable member 70 is in the initial position, the position of the base member 41 is restricted by contacting the initial position restricting protrusion 45 of the base member 41, and when the movable member 70 is in the movable position, the base member 41 is movable. The movable member 70 can be reliably stopped at the predetermined initial position and the movable position by being brought into contact with the position regulating protrusion 46 and being regulated.

  Further, in the movable effect device 40, the first LED 59 mounted on the LED substrate 58 accommodated in the accommodating space 48 of the base member 41 faces the rear opening of each light emitter accommodating portion 67 formed in the partition member 61. At the same time, the second LED 60 mounted on the LED substrate 58 faces the shielding plate 90 c of the frame-shaped decorative body 90 through the front case body 42 of the base member 41. Accordingly, the light of the first LED 59 is irradiated toward the movable member 70 that covers the opening of each light emitter housing portion 67 of the partition member 61 and the first case body 42 that has passed through the front case body 42 of the base member 41. The light from the second LED 60 is applied to the shielding plate 90c. Thereby, the said shielding board 90c is brightened, and the decorating property of the pachinko machine 10 is improved.

  Further, since the first reflecting surface 78 of the first reflecting member 75 provided on the movable member 70 is located in front of the opening of the light emitter housing portion 67, the light transmitting body housing portion 67 is transmitted. The light from the first LED 59 is reflected by the first reflecting surface 78 toward the formation direction of the needle-like portion 72 (direction intersecting the rotation axis 70a of the movable member 70). Then, the reflected light reflected by the first reflecting surface 78 passes through the transmission wall portion 83a of the second reflecting member 80, enters the transparent member 85, and is diffused by the light diffusion portion 85a of the transparent member 85. The diffused light thus reflected is reflected toward the light transmitting portion 73 of the needle-like portion 72 by the reflecting surface portion 82 (each second reflecting surface 82a) of the second reflecting member 80. At this time, the reflected light reflected by the reflecting surface portion 82 (each second reflecting surface 82a) is diffused by the light diffusing portion 85a of the transparent member 85 facing the reflecting surface portion 82 (each second reflecting surface 82a). While irradiating the light transmitting portion 73.

  The reflected light reflected by the first reflecting surface 78 incident on the transparent member 85 is diffused by the light diffusing portion 85a of the transparent member 85, and the reflecting surface portion 82 (each second reflecting surface 82a) of the second reflecting member 80. Is irradiated. For this reason, since light is entirely irradiated to the reflection surface portion 82 (each second reflection surface 82a), the light is reflected by the entire reflection surface portion 82 (each second reflection surface 82a). Further, the reflected light from the reflection surface portion 82 (each second reflection surface 82a) is further diffused by the light diffusion portion 85a of the transparent member 85, so that the entire light transmission portion 73 of the movable member 70 can be illuminated. It becomes possible. In other words, the entire light transmitting portion 73 of the movable member 70 can be illuminated by the first LED 59, and illumination spots can be prevented from appearing on the light transmitting portion 73, and can be brightened with substantially uniform brightness. .

  As shown in FIGS. 15 to 18, the light emitter housing portion 67 is formed at a plurality of locations (three in the embodiment) spaced from the partition member 61 in the rotational direction of the movable member 70, and is movable. Since the first reflection surface 78 sequentially faces the opening of the light emitter housing portion 67 as the member 70 rotates, the light emitter housing where the first reflection surface 78 faces even when the movable member 70 is rotated. The light transmitting portion 73 of the movable member 70 can be brightened by causing the first LED 59 accommodated in the portion 67 to emit light. That is, since the light transmitting portion 73 of the movable member 70 can emit light without providing a light emitter such as an LED on the movable member 70 itself, the movable member 70 can be reduced in weight and size. Further, when the movable member 70 is provided with a light emitter, the operation of the movable member 70 and the routing of the wiring are restricted in order to prevent entanglement or disconnection of the wiring connected to the light emitter. As in the example, by causing the light transmitting portion 73 to emit light by the light from the first LED 59 provided on the base member 41 side, the wiring is not tangled or disconnected, and the operation of the movable member 70 is limited. There is nothing.

  As shown in FIG. 18, when the first reflecting surface 78 is positioned in front of the partition walls 66 and 66 of the partition member 61 as the movable member 70 rotates, two adjacent light emitters are used. The first reflecting surface 78 faces the opening front of the housing portion 67. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the luminance of the light transmitting portion 73 from being lowered when the movable member 70 rotates and moves to a position in front of the partition walls 66 and 66 of the partition member 61 with the first reflecting surface 78. Can do. Further, since the partition member 61 is configured to separate the partition walls 66 and 66 partitioning the light emitter housing portion 67 from the front surface of the LED substrate 58, the partition walls 66 and 66 and the LED substrate 58 are separated from each other. The light of the first LED 59 is also incident on the adjacent light emitter housing portion 67 from the gap between them, so that the luminance of the light transmitting portion 73 can be prevented from lowering as the movable member 70 rotates.

  Then, the rear plate portion 81 of the second reflecting member 80 is inclined so as to be closer to the light transmitting portion 73 side as it is separated from the end portion close to the first reflecting surface 78 of the first reflecting member 75, and The distance L from the end portion of the second reflecting surface 82a constituting the reflecting surface portion 82 on the light transmitting portion 73 side to the light transmitting portion 73 is gradually decreased as the distance from the first reflecting surface 78 is increased. The reflected light reflected by 78 can reach the second reflecting surface 82 a located on the end portion side of the reflecting surface portion 82 that is away from the first reflecting surface 78 (that is, on the distal end side of the needle-like portion 72). As a result, the light reflected by the first reflecting surface 78 can be applied to the entire reflecting surface portion 82, and the entire light diffusing portion 85a is illuminated with uniform brightness by the light reflected by the reflecting surface portion 82. You can get it. In the embodiment, the transparent member 85 disposed between the light transmitting portion 73 and the reflecting surface portion 82 also moves away from the end portion of the first reflecting member 75 that is close to the first reflecting surface 78. Since it is inclined so as to be close to the transmission part 73 side, the light diffused by the light diffusion part 85a of the transparent member 85 is irradiated substantially uniformly on the reflection surface part 82, and the light transmission part 73 of the movable member 70 is irradiated. The whole can be brightened with more uniform brightness.

  In addition, since the second reflecting member 80 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin, the light irradiated on the second reflecting surface 82a is reflected by the second reflecting surface 82a, while part of the second reflecting member 80 is second. The light passes through the reflecting surface 82a. As a result, it is possible to irradiate light with a sufficient amount of light onto the second reflecting surface 82a located on the end portion side separated from the first reflecting surface 78 (that is, the distal end side of the needle-like portion 72). Further, the light reflecting process is applied to the outer surface of the second reflecting member 80 (the outer surface of the rear plate portion 81 and the outer peripheral wall 83), so that the light transmitted through the reflecting surface portion 82 (second reflecting surface 82a) is second reflected. While preventing leakage to the outside of the member 80, the entire amount of reflected light from the first reflecting surface 78 can be reflected toward the light transmitting portion 73, and the reflection efficiency can be improved.

(Regarding production by the discharge ball production device 110)
Further, the discharge ball effect device 110 disposed in the back unit 35 is operated in accordance with a symbol variation effect, a big hit effect, a small hit effect, etc. developed by the symbol display device 17, and the first and second An effect is produced by the operation of the movable bodies 120 and 142. That is, in a state where the first movable body 120 is in the closed position, the drive motor 115 of the discharge ball effect device 110 is driven, and the operating member 137 opens the first movable body 120 (see FIG. 31). When it is rotated counterclockwise, the pressing end surface 138a defining the fan-shaped notch 138 of the operating member 137 is pressed against the engaging protrusion 122b provided on the first movable body 120 and pushed downward. To do. That is, the operating member 137 rotates in the direction in which the pressing end surface 138a presses the engaging protrusion 122b (counterclockwise in FIG. 31), so that the first movable member against the urging force of the tension spring 128 is obtained. The body 120 is rotated from the closed position toward the open position.

  On the contrary, the drive motor 115 of the discharge ball effect device 110 is driven in a state where the first movable body 120 is in the open position, and the operating member 137 is closed in the first movable body 120 (FIG. 31). When the rotation is rotated clockwise, the pressing end surface 138a moves in a direction away from the engaging protrusion 122b. Therefore, the first movable body 120 is released by the urging force of the tension spring 128 when the operating member 137 rotates in the direction in which the pressing end surface 138a is separated from the engaging protrusion 122b (clockwise in FIG. 31). Rotated from position to closed position. When the operation member 137 returns to the original position, the position detection sensor 139 detects the position detection piece 137c provided on the operation member 137, and the drive motor 115 is stopped. At this time, the first movable body 120 returns to the initial position by the urging force of the tension spring 128. That is, when the position detection sensor 139 detects the original position of the operating member 137, the first movable body 120 that is operated between the closed position and the open position following the operation of the operating member 137 is closed. Can be held in position.

  The first movable body 120 has a second shaft that pivotally supports the second movable body 142 by integrally forming an arm portion 126a with a front fixing plate 125 on which the engagement protrusion 122b is formed. The swing arm member 143 connected to the pivot 144 is inserted into the elongated hole 143a. For this reason, when the first movable body 120 is swung as the drive motor 115 is driven, the arm portion 126a is swung integrally, and the swing arm member 143 is also swung accordingly. Accordingly, the second movable body 142 also swings. That is, by rotating the drive motor 115 of the discharge ball effect device 110 forward and backward, the first movable body 120 and the second movable body 142 can be swung at a time to produce an effect. The presentation mode by the device 40 can be diversified to improve the interest of the game. And it is not necessary to provide the drive motor 115 which operates the said 1st movable body 120 and the 2nd movable body 142 separately, and there exists an advantage which can aim at the cost reduction while being able to miniaturize the discharge ball direction apparatus 110.

  In addition, when a big hit that opens the second special winning device 93 occurs, the pachinko balls that have won the special winning opening 93a of the second special winning device 93 flow down the ball guide passage 94, and the ball guide passage 94 is discharged from the downstream end. Here, since each of the ball guide passage 94, the movable effect device 40, and the discharge ball effect device 110 is positioned at the inner edge of the opening of the frame-shaped decorative body 90 facing the symbol display device 17, the symbol display device 17 The effect to be performed, the movement of the pachinko ball rolling on the ball guide passage 94, the operation of the movable member 70 in the movable effect device 40, and further the operation of the first and second movable bodies 120, 142 of the discharge ball effect device 110 Since the line of sight can be captured in the field of view without greatly moving, each of the effects performed by the symbol display device 17, the effects caused by the movement of the pachinko balls, and the effects caused by the operation of the movable member 70 and each of the movable bodies 120, 142 are provided. The player's attention can be attracted to the performance, and the interest of the game can be improved. Further, by disposing the second special prize device 93 on the frame-shaped decorative body 90 that the symbol display device 17 faces, the line of sight when directly viewing the winning situation of the pachinko balls to the second special prize device 93 You can move less.

  By the way, since the discharge ball effect device 110 is located on the locus of the pachinko ball discharged from the downstream end portion of the ball guide passage 94, a large number of pachinko balls win the second special prize device 93. Pachinko balls are emitted toward the first movable body 120 of the discharge ball effect device 110. Here, in a state where the first movable body 120 is in a closed position for closing the ball passage 102 a formed in the passage forming member 101, the engagement protrusion is formed inside the fan-shaped notch 138 in the operating member 137. The portion 122b faces, and the engagement protrusion 122b is in contact with the pressing end surface 138a so as to be movable in a direction away from the pressing end surface 138a (that is, a direction in which the first movable body 120 swings toward the open position). For this reason, when the pachinko sphere released from the downstream end of the sphere guide passage 94 comes into contact with the first movable body 120 that closes the sphere entrance 102a, the pressing end surface is caused by the impact of the pachinko sphere contacting. The first movable body 120 can be moved from the closed position toward the open position so that the engagement protrusion 122b is separated from 138a. Thereby, the impact of the pachinko ball contacting the first movable body 120 can be mitigated, and the engagement protrusion 122b and the operating member 137 can be prevented from being damaged. Further, since the first movable body 120 is biased toward the closed position by the tension spring 128, the first movable body 120 is engaged with the engaging protrusion 122b from the pressing end surface 138a by the impact that the pachinko ball contacts. Can be returned to the closed position by the urging force of the tension spring 128, and the first movable body 120 remains in a position that is displaced. It will not be retained.

  In this way, by configuring the first movable body 120 and the actuating member 137 with a simple configuration, the impact of the pachinko ball contacting the first movable body 120 can be effectively reduced, and the first movable body 120 can be reduced. It is possible to prevent damage to the mechanism that operates the first movable body 120 and displacement of the first movable body 120. Similarly, since the second movable body 142 operates in conjunction with the first movable body 120, when an impact is applied to the second movable body 142 with the first movable body 120 in the closed position. The arm provided on the first movable body 120 can relieve the impact acting on the second movable body 142 by moving the first movable body 120 in the direction in which the engaging protrusion 122b is separated from the pressing end surface 138a. It is possible to prevent the portion 126a and the swing arm member 143 from being damaged or to prevent the second movable body 142 from being displaced.

  Here, as described above, it is assumed that the first movable body 120 is swung from the closed position toward the open position so that the engagement protrusion 122b is separated from the pressing end surface 138a due to the impact that the pachinko ball contacts. However, the operating member 137 is held in its original position without rotating. Therefore, even if the position detection sensor 139 detects the original position of the operating member 137 and the first movable body 120 is swung by contact with the pachinko ball, the position detection piece 137c provided on the operating member 137 is provided. Since the detection state by the position detection sensor 139 does not change, special control for returning the first movable body 120 operated by the contact of the pachinko ball to the closed position can be made unnecessary, and the load on the control system can be reduced. .

(Discharge of pachinko balls that won the second special prize device 93)
Next, the discharge of the pachinko balls won in the second special winning device 93 will be described. The pachinko ball that has won the special winning opening 93a of the second special winning device 93 flows down the ball guide passage 94 and is discharged from the downstream end. At this time, when the first movable body 120 of the discharge ball effect device 110 is in the open position, the released pachinko ball is a passage port defined by the first movable body 120 and the apparatus main body 111. It passes through the ball inlet 102a of the passage forming member 101 through 120b. The pachinko ball that has entered the ball passage 102a is detected by a ball detection sensor 106 held by the holder 105 of the back unit 35 in the process of flowing down the first ball passage 104 formed in the passage forming member 101. After that, the guide piece 107 formed on the back unit 35 and the projecting piece 158 formed on the second decorative member 155 roll to be guided to the second ball passage 157, and the second ball Pachinko balls that have flowed down the passage 157 are collected in a ball collection unit provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. That is, the pachinko balls that have flowed down the ball guide passage 94 and discharged from the downstream end in a state where the first movable body 120 of the discharge ball directing device 110 is in the open position are the ball collection passage RA (first And the second ball passage 157).

  On the other hand, the pachinko ball released from the downstream end of the ball guide passage 94 in a state where the first movable body 120 of the discharge ball effect device 110 is in the closed position is in contact with the first movable body 120. It is bounced back to the ball guide passage 94. The pachinko ball bounced back to the ball guide passage 94 is formed in the ball discharge passage forming member 98 through a ball discharge port 96 formed at the lowest point of the ball guide passage 94. RB1 (the ball rolling surface 98a of the ball discharge passage forming member 98 and the third ball passage 160a of the second decorative member 155) roll. Since the first ball discharge passage RB1 communicates with the upper opening of the second ball passage 157, the pachinko balls bounced back to the ball guide passage 94 are transferred to the first ball discharge passage 157. The pachinko balls guided from RB1 to the second ball passage 157 (ball collection passage RA) and flowing down the second ball passage 157 are collected in a ball collection section provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 10.

  Here, the passage forming member 101 is formed with a sensor housing portion 102b for housing a ball detection sensor 106 held by a holder 105 formed in the back unit 35, and flows down the first ball passage 104. To detect pachinko balls. Further, since the first ball discharge passage RB1 communicates with the second ball passage 157 on the downstream side of the ball detection sensor 106 in the ball collection passage RA, the first ball discharge passage RB1 flows down the first ball discharge passage RB1. Pachinko balls are not detected by the sphere detection sensor 106. That is, a pachinko ball passing through the ball collection passage RA (first ball passage 104) via the ball passage 102a is passed through the ball collection passage RA (second ball passage) via the first ball discharge passage RB1. 157) can be distinguished from pachinko spheres. Thereby, the pachinko ball that has reached the discharge ball directing device 110 at the timing when the first movable body 120 is released passes through the ball entrance 102a and flows down the ball collection passage RA, and the first movable body 120 As a result of the pachinko ball reaching the movable effect device 40 at the closing timing, it flows into the ball collection passage RA through the first ball discharge passage RB1, and the effect contents of the game (for example, sound effects and symbol display device 17) Display) can be changed, and attention to the opening and closing operations of the pachinko ball rolling on the ball guide passage 94 and the movable member 70 can be increased, and the entertainment of the game can be improved.

  The ball guide passage 94 is formed with a guide portion 97 that protrudes forward toward the downstream side upstream from the ball discharge port 96 through which the first ball discharge passage RB1 communicates. By guiding the pachinko ball that rolls on the passage 94 toward the discharge ball effect device 110 in the direction (front) away from the ball discharge port 96 along the guide portion 97, the second special prize is obtained. It is possible to prevent the pachinko ball winning the device 93 from being discharged from the ball discharge port 96 to the first ball discharge passage RB1 while rolling to the discharge ball effect device 110. Therefore, it is possible to effectively produce a pachinko ball that has won the second special prize-winning device 93 and the operation of the first movable body 120 of the discharge ball producing device 110.

  Then, the front wall 95b of the ball guide passage 94 (discharge ball effect region 94b) is inclined forward from the discharge ball guide region 94a toward the downstream end of the ball guide passage 94, and the front and rear of the ball guide passage 94 While expanding the width and setting the front-rear width of the ball guide passage 94 to a maximum of two or more diameters of the pachinko balls, the pachinko ball that rolls the ball guide passage 94 toward the discharge ball directing device 110 and The collision on the ball guide path 94 with the return ball bounced back by the discharge ball effect device 110 and rolling in the ball guide channel 94 can be avoided, and the number of pachinko balls rolling toward the discharge ball effect device 110 is reduced. Can be prevented. Accordingly, the pachinko balls that have won the second special prize-winning device 93 efficiently flow down to the downstream end of the ball guide passage 94 and arrive at the downstream end of the ball guide passage 94, and the discharge ball effect device 110. It is possible to produce an effect using In addition, the pachinko ball that rolls toward the discharge ball effect device 110 and is rebounded by the discharge ball effect device 110 at a position where the front-rear width of the ball guide passage 94 is not more than two pachinko ball diameters. When the return ball rolling on the ball guide passage 94 arrives at the same time, a pachinko ball collides with the ball guide passage 94. In this way, the pachinko balls on the ball guide passage 94 pass or collide with each other and the movement of the pachinko balls becomes complicated, and the player's attention to the pachinko balls rolling on the ball guide passage 94 is enhanced. The effect of playing the game can be improved.

  Further, pachinko balls (including return balls) that roll in the ball guide passage 94 are caused by contact between pachinko balls, contact with the first movable body 120 of the discharge ball effect device 110, and the like. The arrangement area (back surface) of the movable effect device 40 jumps over the rear wall 95a of the ball guide passage 94, the rear restricting plate 98b of the ball discharge passage forming member 98, or the side restricting plate 98c of the ball discharge passage forming member 98. It may move to the unit 35 side. Here, the pachinko ball that has moved to the area on the left side of the base 71 of the movable member 70 (the area where the movable member 70 at the initial position is located) in the arrangement area of the movable effect device 40 is movable at the initial position. It falls on the member 70 or the upper end surface 152a of the protruding plate 152 of the first decorative member 150 or the curved surface portion 151 of the first decorative member 150. At this time, the outer surface 72b of the needle-like portion 72, which is the upper surface of the movable member 70 in the initial position, and the upper end surface 152a of the protruding plate 152 of the first decorative member 150 are both inclined downward toward the front. The pachinko ball finally falls on the curved surface portion 151 of the first decorative member 150.

  That is, the pachinko ball that has moved to the region on the left side of the base 71 of the movable member 70 (the region where the movable member 70 at the initial position is located) is the second ball discharge passage RB2 (the curve of the first decorative member 150). Roll along the surface 151 and the third ball passage 160a). The second sphere discharge passage RB2 is guided to the second sphere passage 157 (sphere collection passage RA) through the second communication port 155b at the downstream end of the third sphere passage 160a, The pachinko balls that have flowed down the second ball passage 157 are collected in a ball collection unit provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. Here, since the second sphere discharge passage RB2 communicates with the second sphere passage 157 on the downstream side of the sphere detection sensor 106 in the sphere collection passage RA, the second sphere discharge passage RB2 flows down the second sphere discharge passage RB2. The pachinko ball to be detected is not detected by the sphere detection sensor 106. Accordingly, the pachinko balls passing through the ball collection passage RA (second ball passage 157) through the second ball discharge passage RB2 are transferred to the ball collection passage RA (first ball passage 104) through the ball inlet 102a. Can be distinguished from pachinko balls that pass through.

  Further, in the arrangement region of the movable effect device 40, the pachinko ball that has arrived in the region on the right side of the base 71 of the movable member 70 (the region where the movable member 70 at the movable position is located) In the position, it falls onto the inclined guide piece 161 (third ball discharge passage RB3) formed in the second decorative member 155. Since the third ball discharge passage RB3 opens above the protruding piece 158 formed in the second decorative member 155, the pachinko ball rolling on the third ball discharge passage RB3 is the protruding piece 158. The pachinko balls that fall down and are guided to the second ball passage 157 (ball collection passage RA) through the first communication port 155a and flow down through the second ball passage 157 are the back side of the pachinko machine 10. It is collected in the ball collection unit provided in the. Here, since the third sphere discharge passage RB3 communicates with the second sphere passage 157 on the downstream side of the sphere detection sensor 106 in the sphere collection passage RA, the third sphere discharge passage RB3 flows down the third sphere discharge passage RB3. The pachinko ball to be detected is not detected by the sphere detection sensor 106. Accordingly, the pachinko balls passing through the ball collection passage RA (second ball passage 157) via the third ball discharge passage RB3 are transferred to the ball collection passage RA (first ball passage 104) via the ball inlet 102a. Can be distinguished from pachinko balls that pass through.

  On the other hand, in a state where the movable member 70 of the movable effect device 40 is in the movable position, the pachinko sphere moved to the region on the right side of the base 71 of the movable member 70 is the upper surface of the movable member 70 in the movable position. It will stop on the outer side surface 72b. Here, since the movable member 70 is rotated so as to return to the initial position when the predetermined operation is completed, the movable member 70 is moved to the outside of the movable member 70 at the timing when the inclination direction of the movable member 70 is tilted to the left with respect to the base 71. A pachinko ball on the side surface 72b is guided onto the upper end portion 152a of the projecting plate 152 of the first decorative member 150, and the second ball discharge passage RB2 (the curved surface portion 151 and the first of the passage member 160 is the same as described above). The third ball passage 157 is guided through the third ball passage 160a). That is, the pachinko ball that has arrived in the region on the right side of the base 71 of the movable member 70 (the region in which the movable member 70 in the movable position is located) corresponds to the second ball according to the rotational position of the movable member 70. The pachinko machine 10 is guided to the second ball passage 157 (ball recovery passage RA) through the discharge passage RB2 or the third ball discharge passage RB3 and through the second ball passage 157 (ball collection passage RA). It is collected in the ball collection part. Here, since the second sphere discharge passage RB2 communicates with the second sphere passage 157 on the downstream side of the sphere detection sensor 106 in the sphere collection passage RA, the second sphere discharge passage RB2 flows down the second sphere discharge passage RB2. The pachinko ball to be detected is not detected by the sphere detection sensor 106.

  In addition, the pachinko ball released from the downstream end of the ball guide passage 94 and contacting the discharge ball directing device 110 (first movable body 120) does not bounce back to the ball guide passage 94, and the discharge ball directing device 110 (first When it falls below the first movable body 120), the pachinko sphere falls into the inclined guide portion 99 of the frame-shaped decorative body 90 or the ball receiving recess 162 of the second decorative member 155. Here, the inclined lower end portion of the inclined guide portion 99 and the lower end portion of the ball receiving recessed portion 162 are configured to face the upper opening of the second ball passage 157, so that the discharge ball effect device 110 (first The pachinko balls that have fallen below the movable body 120 are guided to the second ball passage 157 (ball collection passage RA), and the pachinko balls that have flowed down the second ball passage 157 are disposed in the pachinko machine 10. It is collected in a ball collection unit provided on the back side. Here, since the second sphere discharge passage RB2 communicates with the second sphere passage 157 on the downstream side of the sphere detection sensor 106 in the sphere collection passage RA, the second sphere discharge passage RB2 flows down the second sphere discharge passage RB2. The pachinko ball to be detected is not detected by the sphere detection sensor 106.

  That is, even if the pachinko ball rolling in the ball guide passage 94 and the first ball discharge passage RB1 spills on the side where the movable effect device 40 (movable member 70) is disposed, the second ball discharge passage RB2 and the second ball discharge passage RB2 3 can be collected in the ball collection section via the ball discharge passage RB3, so that the pachinko balls can be prevented from remaining in the area where the movable effect device 40 (movable member 70) is disposed, and the appearance of the pachinko machine 10 is reduced. Can be prevented. Similarly, even if a pachinko ball that has been released from the downstream end of the ball guide passage 94 and contacts the first movable body 120 does not bounce back into the ball guide passage 94 and falls, the inclined guide portion 99 and the ball receiving recess 162 Can be collected by the ball collecting section, and the pachinko balls can be prevented from remaining in the area where the movable effect device 40 (movable member 70) is disposed. Further, since the pachinko balls do not remain in the region where the movable effect device 40 (movable member 70) is disposed, it is possible to suitably prevent problems such as pinching of the pachinko balls during the operation of the movable member 70, and the movable effect device 40. Can be prevented. Furthermore, the pachinko balls can be collected in the ball collection section via the second ball discharge passage RB2 and the third ball discharge passage RB3, so that the arrangement area of the movable effect device 40 and the ball guide passage 94 can be obtained. And it is not necessary to enlarge the partition member which divides 1st ball discharge passage RB1 more than necessary. That is, as in the embodiment, the rear regulating plate 98b that partitions the region where the movable effect device 40 is disposed and the first ball discharge passage RB1 is formed in a shape that covers the movable effect device 40, and the symbol display device 17 It can be prevented from overlapping, and the visibility of the symbol display device 17 can be prevented from being lowered.

  In addition, a first ball restricting piece 92a that shields a gap between the frame shaped decorative body 90 and the back unit 35 is formed in the ball guide path 92 of the frame shaped decorative body 90, and the ball restricting piece 92a The second ball regulating piece 165 is formed on the lower end side so as to be close to the end so that pachinko balls cannot pass. Accordingly, the pachinko spheres in contact with the first and second ball restricting pieces 92a and 165 are moved along the first and second ball restricting pieces 92a and 165 with the second ball discharge passage RB2 (curved surface portion). 151 and the third ball passage 160a), and is guided to the second ball passage 157 (ball collection passage RA) through the second communication port 155b in the same manner as described above, and the back side of the pachinko machine 10 It is collected in the ball collection part. Accordingly, the rear wall 95a of the ball guide passage 94 and the rear of the ball discharge passage forming member 98 due to contact between pachinko balls, contact with the first movable body 120 of the discharge ball directing device 110, and the like. Even if the control plate 98b or the side control plate 98c of the ball discharge passage forming member 98 is jumped and moved to the arrangement region (on the back unit 35 side) of the movable effect device 40, the transparent plate 21 (frame-like decorative body) 90) and the back unit 35 are surely prevented from entering the space between the back unit 35 and the pachinko ball can be collected in the ball collection unit on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. That is, in the pachinko machine according to the embodiment, the pachinko balls won in the second special winning device 93 can be reliably collected up to the ball collecting unit.
