Further, an installation concave portion 75 communicating with the stepped portion 70 is formed in the upper fixing portion 62a, and the upper left LED substrate 76 is disposed in the installation concave portion 75, and the upper left LED substrate 76 and the installation concave portion 75 are arranged. Light from the LED 76 a of the upper left LED substrate 76 is irradiated to the installation portion 71 through a slit-shaped opening 77 therebetween. Here, since substantially the entire stepped portion 70 is located inside the game area 34 on the back side of the transparent plate 31, the upper left position of the game area 34 is determined by the light emission of the LED 76a of the upper left LED board 76. It can be illuminated indirectly from behind.

  That is, since it is not necessary to dispose the lens member covering the left and right upper LED substrates 72 and 76 disposed on the stepped portion 70 of the back unit 57 on the back unit 57 side, the front-rear dimension of the stepped portion 70 is determined. It can be the minimum necessary for installing the left and right upper LED substrates 72. That is, the game board 30 cannot be secured in the front-rear dimension by overlapping with the ball tank 26 provided in the middle frame 12 only by securing the space for disposing the LED boards 72, 76 in the upper fixing part 62a. The upper position of the game board 30 can be illuminated, and the decorativeness of the game board 30 can be improved. In addition, the upper right LED board 72 and the upper left LED board 76 are arranged on the back unit 57 side so as to illuminate from the back side of the transparent plate 31, so that the device for illuminating the game area 34 can be made transparent. The game area 34 formed on the transparent plate 31 can be enlarged without having to be provided on the 31 side.

  Further, a connector exposure hole 74 is formed at a position corresponding to the connector connection port 72 d provided in the upper right LED board 72 in the step part 70 of the back unit 57, and the upper right LED board 72 is disposed in the step part 70. In this case, since the connector connection port 72d faces the inside of the connector exposure hole 74, the upper right LED board 72 can be as close to the transparent plate 31 as possible, and the front and rear dimensions of the stepped portion 70 can be further increased. Can be suppressed. Further, the left upper LED board 76 is provided with a connector connection port 76c on the mounting surface on which the LED 76a is mounted to reduce the front and rear dimensions of the upper left LED board 76, so that the upper left LED board 76 is as transparent as possible. It can approach the board 31, and can suppress the front-back dimension of the level | step-difference part 70 (installation recessed part 75) more. Therefore, since the thickness dimension of the back unit 57 (upper fixing part 62a) required for installing the left and right upper LED boards 72, 76 can be made as small as possible, the thickness dimension of the game board 30 (back unit 57) is limited. Illumination can be suitably achieved. Further, since the connector connection port 72d faces the connector exposure hole 74, the connection state of the wiring to the connector connection port 72d can be easily confirmed from the back side of the back unit 57.

  In addition, the front lens member 53 of the front light emitting effect device 50 provided on the transparent plate 31 (frame-shaped decorative body 43) is positioned on the front side of the upper right LED board 72, so that the upper right LED board 72 is moved to the front side. Since it can be prevented from being visually recognized directly from the game board 30, it is possible to prevent the decorativeness of the game board 30 from being deteriorated, and light from the LED 72 a of the upper right LED board 72 is directly irradiated to the player side and is thus visible. It is also possible to prevent a decrease in. Further, the frame-shaped decorative body 43 is provided with a second light diffusing member 54b on the back side of the fixing plate 46 of the transparent plate 31 closest to the upper right LED board 72, so that the upper right LED board is arranged. 72 can be made more difficult to be seen from the front side, and the light diffused by the second light diffusing member 54b is applied to the front lens member 53, so that the decoration effect by light emission can be enhanced.

  On the other hand, the installation recess 75 in which the upper left LED board 76 is disposed is provided at a position where the second panel decoration member 35b provided on the transparent plate 31 overlaps in the front and rear directions. Is covered with the second panel decoration member 35b, and the upper left LED board 76 itself can be prevented from being directly viewed from the front side. Further, there is no possibility that the light of the LED 76a of the upper left LED board 76 is directly irradiated to the player side and the visibility is lowered.

  In addition, the left and right side light emitting effect devices 80, 81 provided at the side positions of the game board 30 (the back unit 57) include upper, middle and lower light emitter covers 91, 92, 93, respectively. An annular shielding member 110 extending along the outer peripheral edge of the first lens member 102 is provided, and an outer periphery defined by the outer member 113 and the shielding member 110 that form an outer shape of each of the light emitter covers 91, 92, 93. The plurality of first LEDs 82a constituting the light emitter group HG corresponding to each of the light emitter covers 91, 92, 93 are allowed to face the area, and the second LED 82b is allowed to face the internal area defined inside the shielding member 110. It is configured as follows. Here, the shielding member 110 is a non-light-transmitting member, and is included in the first lens body 103 (cylindrical portion 104) in the first lens member 102 inserted into the mounting hole 95a of the annular member 95. The shielding member 110 covers the peripheral surface, and the rear end portion of the shielding member 110 is in contact with the side LED board 82.

  Therefore, the light from the first LED 82a can be prevented from leaking to the first lens body 103 side (the inner region side of the shielding member 110), and the light from the second LED 82b can be prevented from leaking to the annular member 95 side (outside the shielding member 110). It is possible to prevent leakage to the area side). That is, by causing the first LED 82a to emit light, the annular member 95 located on the outer peripheral side of the first lens member 102 is brightened, and by emitting the second LED 82b, the lens portion 105 of the first lens member 102 is Since it is bright, it becomes possible to make the annular member 95 and the first lens member 102 clear and bright individually.

  In each of the light emitter covers 91, 92, 93, the first and second support protrusions 111, 112 projecting outward from the outer peripheral surface of the shielding member 110 are the first lens member 102 (first lens body). 103) and the first and second receiving portions 116, 117 of the outer member 113. That is, by sandwiching and fixing the first and second support protrusions 111 and 112 formed on the shielding member 110, most of the outer peripheral region in which the first LED 82a is accommodated opens in the front-rear direction. The light of the first LED 82a is not easily blocked by the first and second support protrusions 111 and 112, and the entire annular member 95 can be brightened substantially uniformly.

  In addition, each of the light emitter covers 91, 92, 93 has a first positioning projection piece 98b formed on the annular member 95 (base body 96) as a support piece for the first lens member 102 (first lens body 103). The second positioning protrusion 104a provided on the first lens member 102 (first lens body 103) is fitted into the first positioning recess 106a formed on the first member 106, and the second positioning protrusion 104a formed on the shielding member 110 is used. And the first support protrusion 111 formed on the shielding member 110 is fitted into the fitting groove 116a of the first receiving portion 116 formed on the outer member 113. Thereby, the relative positional relationship of each member can be determined uniquely. In addition, with the annular member 95, the first lens member 102, the shielding member 110, and the outer member 113 being positioned, the annular member 95 and the outer member 113 are screwed to fix the first lens member 102. The support piece 106 of the (first lens body 103) is sandwiched between the annular member 95 (base body 96) and the first and second support protrusions 111 and 112 of the shielding member 110, and The first and second support protrusions 111 and 112 are sandwiched between the support piece 106 of the first lens member 102 (first lens body 103) and the first and second receiving portions 116 and 117 of the outer member 113. The light emitter covers 91, 92, and 93 can be assembled without individually fixing the first lens member 102 and the shielding member 110 by screwing or the like. It can easily perform the 93 assembling work. Further, the light emitter covers 91, 92, 93 can be handled as a single unit by assembling the members 95, 102, 110, 113, 118, so that the light emitter covers 91, 92 for the back unit 57 can be handled. , 93 can be easily performed, and work efficiency can be improved.

  By the way, when a light emitting effect device is configured by providing individual LED substrates for each of the light emitter covers 91, 92, 93, wiring connection work for each light emitting effect device is required, and the work becomes complicated. On the other hand, in the embodiment, the side LED boards 82 of the left and right side light emitting effect devices 80 and 81 are large-sized to cover the right side or the left side of the opening 60 formed in the facing surface 59 of the back unit 57. A plurality of light emitter groups HG are formed by the first and second LEDs 82a and 82b provided on the side LED substrates 82, and the light emitter covers 91, 92, 93 corresponding to the respective light emitter groups HG. Is provided. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide an LED board corresponding to each of the light emitter covers 91, 92, 93, and the wiring connection work can be simplified and workability can be improved.

  Also, left and right upper parts disposed above the back unit 57 at the connector connection ports 84, 85, 86, 87 provided on the side LED boards 82 constituting the left and right side light emitting effect devices 80, 81. The wiring from the LED boards of the LED boards 72 and 76 and the movable effect devices 140 and 141 and the wiring from the relay board 150 are configured to be connected, and the side LED board 82 has a function as a relay board. Therefore, it is not necessary to route the wirings connected to the left and right upper LED boards 72, 76 and the LED boards of the movable effect devices 140, 141 to the relay board 150 provided below the back side of the back unit 57. For this reason, the wiring connection work to the LED boards of the left and right upper LED boards 72 and 76 and the movable effect devices 140 and 141 can be easily performed, and the biting of the wiring occurs when the game board 30 is attached to the middle frame 12 or the like. The possibility of doing so can be reduced.

  In addition, the upper light emitting effect device 120 provided at the side position of the game board 30 (the back unit 57) has through-holes 122a to 15a that are modeled on the front plate 122 of the base member 121. 122e is formed, and the first partition member 135 is disposed at the contour portion of the second through hole 122b that represents the second identification information, and at the contour portion of the fourth through hole 122d that represents the fourth identification information. A second partition member 137 is provided. For this reason, the space between the second light diffusion sheet 130 and the upper LED substrate 129 is changed into first to fifth identification information (first to fifth through-holes 122a to 122a) by the first and second partition members 135 and 137. 122e), the first to fifth identification information can be individually and clearly brightened at the time of light emission of the LED 129a provided on the upper LED substrate 129, and the decorativeness by each identification information can be improved. Each identification information can be easily discriminated.

  In addition, the upper light emitting effect device 120 has a second LED located between the base member 121 and the upper LED substrate 129 by screwing the upper LED substrate 129 to a fixing protrusion 123b formed on the base member 121. Since the lens member 126, the second light diffusion sheet 130, and the partition members 135 and 137 are held, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated means for holding these members 126, 130, 135, and 137, and the upper light emission. The assembling work of the production device 120 can be easily performed. Further, since the fixed protrusion 123b of the base member 121 is provided adjacent to the first and second partition members 135 and 137, when the upper LED board 129 is screwed to the fixed protrusion 123b, The contact state between the first and second partition members 135 and 137 and the upper LED substrate 129 can be more reliably maintained, and the first and second partition members 135 and 137 are pressed against the second light diffusion sheet 130, The first to fifth identification information (first to fifth through holes 122a to 122e) can be partitioned more accurately.

  The first and second partition members 135 and 137 are one in the arrangement direction of identification information (that is, the left-right direction) among the first to fifth identification information formed on the front plate 122 of the base member 121. The first and second partition members 135 and 137 are disposed on the contour portion of the second through hole 122b corresponding to the second identification information and the contour portion of the fourth through hole 122d corresponding to the fourth identification information. It is. At this time, each of the mounting protrusions 124, 124 provided adjacent to the first and second partition members 135, 137 is in a direction (that is, a vertical direction) that intersects the arrangement direction of identification information (that is, the horizontal direction). By being provided so as to be separated, the upper LED substrate 129 is prevented from being lifted from the base member 121, and the second light diffusion sheet 130 can be reliably sandwiched between the second lens member 126 and the partition members 135 and 137. .

  In addition, the second light diffusion sheet 130 of the upper light emitting effect device 120 is provided with an adhesive or the like by the first and second partition members 135 and 137 disposed between the second lens member 126 and the upper LED substrate 129. The second light diffusing sheet 130 is peeled off from the back surface of the second lens member 126 due to the influence of heat generated by the upper light emitting effect device 120 (for example, heat generated by light emission of the LED 129a, etc.) because it is sandwiched and fixed without being used. Rather, the second light diffusion sheet 130 can be held at an appropriate position for a long time. Thereby, the light-diffusion effect by the 2nd light-diffusion sheet 130 can be maintained over a long period of time. Since the second light diffusing sheet 130 is not attached with an adhesive, the second light diffusing sheet 130 has a uniform light diffusing effect without being affected by light refraction by the adhesive. can get. Furthermore, even if there is a problem such as misalignment when the second light diffusing sheet 130 is arranged with respect to the back surface of the second lens member 126, it is not attached, so the light diffusing sheet is placed at an appropriate position. It can be easily corrected. Furthermore, by not attaching the second light diffusion sheet 130 with an adhesive, the second lens member 126 and the second light diffusion sheet 130 can be easily reused.

  In the embodiment, a transparent protective plate 132 is disposed between the second light diffusion sheet 130 and the first and second partition members 135 and 137, and the partition members 135 and 137 are disposed on the light diffusion sheet 130. Since the partition members 135 and 137 can be prevented from being damaged, a uniform light diffusion effect by the second light diffusion sheet 130 can be obtained.
