In the game area 30a of the game board 30, a large number of nails are planted in order to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game ball, and various members (functions) such as a windmill 37 are arranged. Yes.

  The variable display device unit 35 includes a first symbol display device 40 that variably displays a first symbol (for example, a special symbol) as identification information with a winning at the first starting port 33a and the second starting port 33b as a trigger. Using the passage of the third start port 34 as a trigger, the second symbol display device 41 that variably displays the second symbol (for example, the normal symbol), and the first start port 33a and the second start port 33b are awarded. As a trigger, a third symbol display device 42 that variably displays a third symbol (for example, a decorative symbol) is provided.

  The first symbol display device 40 includes, for example, a plurality of (two in the present embodiment) two-color light emitting type LEDs (light emitting diodes) 40a that emit variable light emission or the like based on the ball entering the first start port 33a. 40b, a hold display portion 40c displayed on the screen of the third symbol display device 42, which indicates the number of hold of the variable display by the LEDs 40a, 40b, and a variable light emission based on the ball entering the second start port 33b A plurality of (two in this embodiment) two-color light emitting type LEDs (light emitting diodes) 40d, 40e and the number of variable display suspensions on the LEDs 40d, 40e are displayed on the third symbol display device 42 as a screen display. The hold display unit 40f is provided.

  For example, the LEDs 40a and 40b that perform variable light emission based on entering the first start port 33a can emit red and blue light. The first symbol display device 40 generates a variable display state of the first symbol (in this embodiment, the emission color mode of each LED 40a, 40b) by alternately changing the emission color of each LED 40a, 40b, for example, When both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a red light emitting state, a probable big hit (specific hit) is indicated, and when both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a blue light emitting state, a normal big hit (non-specific hit) is indicated, and both LEDs 40a and 40b are mutually connected. When it stops in the light emission state of a different color, it will show off.

  Similarly to the above, the LEDs 40d and 40e that emit light in a variable manner based on the ball entering the second start port 33b can emit light in red and blue, for example. The first symbol display device 40 generates a variable display state of the first symbol (in this embodiment, the emission color mode of each LED 40d, 40e) by alternately changing the emission color of each LED 40d, 40e, for example, When both LEDs 40d and 40e stop in a red light emitting state, a promiscuous big hit (specific hit) is indicated, and when both LEDs 40d and 40e stop in a blue light emitting state, a normal big hit (non-specific hit) is indicated, and both LEDs 40d and 40e are mutually connected. When it stops in the light emission state of a different color, it will show off.

  In addition, as this 1st symbol display apparatus 40, you may employ | adopt the single LED of the type which can light-emit at least 3 colors or more, and by performing light emission of each color alternately, the 1st symbol is displayed. When the LED stops in the light emission state of the first color, it shows a probable big hit (specific hit), and when the LED stops in the light emission state of the second color, it usually shows a big hit (non-specific hit) When the LED stops in the light emission state of the third color, it may be indicated that the LED has come off. The first symbol display device 40 described above corresponds to the identification information fluctuation display means in the present invention.

  The second symbol display device 41 includes, for example, a display unit 41a on which “○” is drawn for the second symbol, a display unit 41b on which “x” is drawn for the second symbol, and the third symbol display. Each time the game ball passes through the third starting port 34, the display symbols (ordinary symbols) displayed by the display units 41a and 41b fluctuate. When the engine stops at a predetermined symbol, the second start port 33b on the lower side is configured to be activated (opened) for a predetermined time. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the third start opening 34 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times of holding is displayed on the hold display portion 41c. The display units 41a and 41b have LEDs (light emitting diodes) inside thereof, and are configured to be variably displayed by switching the light emission of the LEDs (or lighting of the lamps). The second symbol display device 41 described above corresponds to the normal identification information fluctuation display means in the present invention.

  The 3rd symbol display apparatus 42 is comprised, for example with the liquid crystal display device, and the display content is controlled by the display control apparatus 45 mentioned later. On the third symbol display device 42, for example, three decorative symbol rows (not shown) of left, middle and right are displayed. Each decorative symbol sequence (not shown) is composed of a plurality of decorative symbols, and these decorative symbols are variably displayed on the third symbol display device 42 so as to be scrolled for each decorative symbol sequence (not shown). In the present embodiment, the third symbol display device 42 (liquid crystal display device) includes, for example, a large liquid crystal display of 11 inch size. The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 on the front side of the third symbol display device 42 so as to substantially surround the display screen of the third symbol display device 42 when viewed from the front. In this embodiment, an LCD is employed as the third symbol display device 42, but other types of image display devices (for example, PDP: plasma display panel, EL: electroluminescence display, organic EL, etc.) may be used. . The above-described third symbol display device 42 corresponds to decoration identification information (design) variation display means in the present invention, and the above-described display control device 45 corresponds to display control means in the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the variable prize-winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which a game ball cannot win or is difficult to win, and repeatedly operates between an open state in which a game ball is easily won in a big hit and a normal closed state. It is what is done. In this way, the state in which the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly operated in the open state and the normal closed state at the time of a big win is called a specific gaming state (for example, a big winning state), and the variable winning device 32 has a large number of games. Since the ball enters (wins) and a lot of game balls are paid out for the winning, the game state is advantageous to the player. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of game balls thrown in (the number of game balls launched into the game area 30a by the game ball launching device 38) is the number of game ball award balls paid out (general winning port 31). , The number of prize balls paid out based on the number of game balls entered into the variable prize device 32, the start prize device 33, the third start port 34, etc.) and the prize of the game balls It is possible to change the state to a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit state) in which the number of balls paid out is larger than the number of game balls inserted.

  More specifically, when a game ball wins the first start port 33a, the two LEDs 40a and 40b of the first symbol display device 40 are displayed in a variable manner, and the display of the LEDs 40a and 40b after the change is stopped is a preset light emission. A specific gaming state occurs when a combination of modes is obtained. For example, in the case of a light emitting mode in which both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in a red light emitting state, it indicates that a specific gaming state with a probable big hit (specific hit) is won, and both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in a blue light emitting state. In the case of the light-emission mode, it indicates that the player has won the special game state of normal big hit (non-specific hit), and in the case of the light-emission mode that both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in the light-emission state of different colors (You have lost the game).

  Similarly to the above, when the game ball wins the second start opening 33b, the two LEDs 40d, 40e of the first symbol display device 40 are displayed in a variable manner, and the display of the LEDs 40d, 40e after the change stop is preset. A specific gaming state occurs when a combination of light emission modes is obtained. For example, in the case of a light emitting mode in which both LEDs 40d and 40e are stopped in a red light emitting state, it indicates that a specific gaming state with a probable big hit (specific hit) is won, and both LEDs 40d and 40e are stopped in a blue light emitting state. In the case of the light emission mode, it indicates that the player has won the specific game state of the normal big hit (non-specific hit), and in the case of the light emission mode in which both LEDs 40d and 40e are stopped in the light emission states of different colors (You have lost the game).

  The variable winning device 32 is configured such that the large winning opening 32a is in a predetermined open state, and the game ball is likely to win (a big hit state). Specifically, the special winning opening 32a of the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times (the number of rounds) with the passage of a predetermined time or a predetermined number of winnings in the open state as one round. In addition, the number of times that the game ball has passed through the first start port 33a is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times of holding is displayed on the hold display section 40c. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the second start port 33b is also held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times of holding is displayed on the hold display section 40f. The hold display units 40c and 40f display a hold on a part of the display screen of the third symbol display device 42. However, the hold display units 40c and 40f may be lit using a hold lamp or the like.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of rails 51 and 52 are attached to the game board 30 for guiding the game balls launched from the game ball launching device 38 (see FIG. 3) to the upper part of the game board 30. Thus, the game balls launched in accordance with the turning operation of the game ball launching handle 18 are guided to a predetermined game area 30a through a ball guide passage 49 (to be described later) of the plurality of rails 51 and 52. The plurality of rails 51 and 52 are long metal strip members made of stainless steel, and are attached to the game board 30 in an inner and outer double. The inner rail 51 is formed in a substantially vertical elliptical shape except for about 1/4 of the upper side.

The certification information display component is:
Notation parts for displaying the certification information;
A main body part to which the notation part is attached and attached to the game part;
An internal locking means for locking the marking component and the main body component on the inner space side formed by them, and locking the marking component so as not to be detached from the main body component,
The body part is
A fixing part fixed to the gaming part so as not to be removed;
A locking body portion that is a portion other than the fixing portion and includes the internal locking means;
A portion to be connected between the fixing portion and the locking body portion, and the portion to be broken that can be separated from the fixing portion and the locking body portion by being destroyed,
A gaming machine comprising a notch portion formed at a boundary portion between the fixed portion and the locking body portion except for the portion to be destroyed.

  According to the gaming machine described in (1) above, a gaming machine that provides a game to a player includes a certification information display component that displays certification information about a game product, and a gaming component to which the certification information display component is attached. I have. The certification information display component includes a notation component for displaying the certification information, and a main body component to which the notation component is attached and attached to the game component. The internal locking means locks the notation component and the main body component on the inner space side formed by the notation component and the main body component, and locks the notation component so as not to be detached from the main body component. The main body parts are roughly classified into a fixing portion and a locking body portion. The fixing part of the main body part is fixed to the game part so as not to be detached. The locking body portion of the main body part is a portion other than the fixing portion, and includes internal locking means. The to-be-destructed part, which is a part connecting the fixing part and the locking body part, can be separated from the fixing part and the locking body part by being broken. The notch is formed at the boundary between the fixed part and the locking body part except for the part to be destroyed.

  Therefore, when the main body part of the certification information display part is fixed to the game part by the fixing part, and the notation part is locked to the main body part by the internal locking means, the unlocking access from the outside to the fixing part is performed. Because it is not possible, the main part cannot be removed from the game part together with the fixed part, and the fixed part of the main part and the locking body part cannot be separated unless the destruction part of the main part of the certification information display part is destroyed, Since the notated parts cannot be removed from the locking body part unless the locking by the internal locking means is released with respect to the separated locking body part, the integral inseparability between the proof information display part and the gaming part is achieved. It can be ensured, and it is possible to reduce the illegal replacement of the certification information display component.

  In addition, if there is a failure or defect in the game parts (with the certification information display parts already installed) in the pre-shipment test after passing the certification, or if the game parts are dropped and damaged in the hall installation work, etc. By destroying the to-be-destructed part of the main part of the information display part, the fixing part and the locking body part of the main body part are separated, and the fixing part remains fixed to the game part, and the locking part of the main body part Can be removed from the gaming parts, the locking by the internal locking means is released with respect to the separated locking body part, the marking part is removed from the locking body part, and the removed marking part is, for example, New game parts can be shipped by attaching to and locked to new main body parts owned by the manufacturer attached to the new game parts that have been certified.

In addition, the “fixed portion fixed in a non-removable manner” in the present specification means that the main body part cannot be removed unless at least a part of the main body part (for example, the part to be destroyed) is destroyed.

  In addition, the “notch” referred to in the present specification may be formed by actually cutting off the boundary portion between the fixing portion and the locking body portion in the main body part. At the same time, it means that a dent is formed in the boundary part of the main body part. For example, the mold has a shape for forming a notch part in advance, and when the mold is filled with resin and the mold is removed, the notch part (recessed part) is formed simultaneously with the completion of the main body part. It means that it is formed.
