The rear end portion of the first rod-shaped light guide portion 133 is located in the vicinity of the opening front end portions of the upper cylindrical portion 95 and the lower cylindrical portion 96 in the lower rendering device 90, and the first rendering. The light transmitted from the LED 92a through the upper cylindrical portion 95 and the lower cylindrical portion 96 is incident on the rear end portion of the corresponding first rod-shaped light guide portion 133.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 27, the rear end portion of each of the second rod-shaped light guide portions 135 is configured to be positioned close to the front surface of the vertical passage 115 of the second passage portion 113, so that the second rod-shaped guide portions are arranged. The light part 135 is configured to restrict the position of the front of the second passage part 113. That is, when the pachinko ball passes through the second passage portion 113 (vertical passage 115), the second rod-shaped light guide portion 135 restricts the second passage portion 113 from moving forward. Further, the vertical passage 115 of the second passage portion 113 is located close to the front surface of the left side plate portion 91a of the lower rendering device 90, and the left side plate portion 91a is moved backward. The vertical passage 115 is sandwiched between the second passage portion 113 (vertical passage 115) and the left side plate portion 91a, so that the position is restricted to a predetermined position.

The light enters the rear end portion of 135.

  Here, the first light emitting part 132 and the second light emitting part 134 extend in the light irradiation direction of the corresponding first effect LED 92a and second effect LED 92b on the front side of the flat plate part 131. In addition, each of the first light emitting unit 132 and the second light emitting unit 134 extends radially in a direction intersecting the center line of the first rod-shaped light guide unit 133 and the second rod-shaped light guide unit 135. The first light emitting portion 132 is fitted from the rear side into each of the small fitting holes 128 formed of four projecting pieces (in the embodiment, four pieces) and formed in the second decorative cover body 127, and a large fitting. The 2nd light emission part 134 is fitted in each of the hole 129 from back (refer FIG. 22). That is, the center position where the projecting pieces of the first light emitting unit 132 converge is aligned with the center point of the first rod-shaped light guide unit 133 in the front-rear direction, and the first position on the center line of the first rod-shaped light guide unit 133. The center of the light emitting part 132 is located, and the center position where the projecting piece of the second light emitting part 134 converges is aligned with the center point of the second bar light guide part 135, and the second bar light guide. The center of the second light emitting unit 134 is positioned on the center line of the unit 135. In addition, the outer surface of the first light emitting unit 132 and the second light emitting unit excluding the front end surfaces is subjected to light diffusion processing, and light transmitted through the first light emitting unit 132 and the second light emitting unit 134 is externally applied. The light is prevented from leaking out and is irradiated forward from the front end portions of the first light emitting unit 132 and the second light emitting unit 134.

  In addition, each of the first light emitting unit 132 and the second light emitting unit 134 is formed in an inclined shape that gradually tapers as it approaches an extended end portion that radially extends from the center position. The light guided into the first light emitting unit 132 and the second light emitting unit 134 is configured to diffusely reflect light therein. That is, light diffusely reflects inside the first light emitting unit 132 and the second light emitting unit 134, so that the light transmitted through the first light emitting unit 132 and the second light emitting unit 134 has a substantially uniform brightness from the entire front end portion. It comes to be irradiated with. Note that the first light-emitting portion 132 and the second light-emitting portion 134 of the embodiment are provided with four projecting pieces radially so as to have a cross-shaped cross section.

  As shown in FIGS. 25 to 27, the front end portions of the first light emitting units 132 and the second light emitting units 134 are positions corresponding to the center lines of the corresponding first light emitting units 132 and second light emitting units 134. It is formed in an inclined shape that protrudes forward and inclines backward as it goes to the extending end of each light emitting portion 66. That is, light diffusion surfaces (light diffusion portions) 132 a and 134 a that reflect and diffuse light are formed at the front end portions of the first light emitting portions 132 and the second light emitting portions 134, and the first light emitting portions 132 are formed. The light transmitted through the second light emitting part 134 and incident on the light emitting part 66 is reflected and diffused toward the extended end part by the light diffusion surfaces 132a and 134a, so that the front end part has a substantially uniform brightness as a whole. It is configured to emit light. Further, the length dimension from the center point to the extending end portion in the first light emitting section 132 is set to be shorter than the length dimension from the center point to the extending end section in the second light emitting section 134. . That is, the light emitting region (the area of the light diffusing surface 132a) of the first light emitting unit 132 is formed to be smaller than the light emitting region (the area of the light diffusing surface 134a) than the second light emitting unit 134.

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

  When a player rotates the operation handle 17 provided on the front side of the middle frame 12, a game area in which pachinko balls launched from the ball striking device are defined by guide rails 21 provided on the game board 20 It is driven into 20a and flows down in the game area 20a while changing the flow down direction by contacting a game nail or the like. Then, the pachinko ball flowing down the game area 20a wins the first start winning port 31 or the second start winning port 32 of the start winning device 30, whereby the symbol changing effect on the symbol display device 18 is started. As a result of the symbol variation effect, when the effect display is displayed in a predetermined symbol combination on the symbol display device 18, a big hit occurs, and the first provided on the gaming board 20 according to the combination of symbols that generates the big hit. The special prize-winning device 35 or the second special prize-winning device 45 is opened, and the symbol display device 18 performs a big hit effect.

  Further, when the pachinko ball flowing down the game area 20a wins the first or second start winning port 31, 32 of the start winning device 30, the game state display is displayed together with the symbol variation effect on the symbol display device 18. The blinking fluctuation is performed so that each display LED 103a of the device 70 is turned on / off in a predetermined pattern, and the lighting pattern (lighting position corresponding to the gaming state determined by the big hit lottery at the timing after the end of the symbol fluctuation effect) ), The display LED 103a of the display LED substrate 103 is steadily turned on, and the gaming state after the symbol variation effect is displayed. Here, the gaming state indicator 70 is projected from the front light guide member 72 at a position where the front bar light guide part 74 and the rear bar light guide part 75 are aligned in the front-rear direction with respect to the flat plate part 73 of the display light guide member 72. The rod-shaped light guide portion 74 and the rear rod-shaped light guide portion 75 are configured to fit into the corresponding through holes 76a and 77a of the front partition member 76 and the rear partition member 77, and the through hole 77a of the rear partition member 77. Each display LED 103a is opposed to the rear end portion of the rear rod-shaped light guide 75 facing the front. Thus, when the display LED 103a is turned on in the lighting pattern (lighting position), the light of each display LED 103a incident on the rear bar-shaped light guide unit 75 is transmitted to the front bar-shaped light guide unit 74 aligned in the front-rear direction. Thus, light can be efficiently guided to the opening front end portion of the through hole 76a of the front partition member 76 as compared with a configuration in which light is simply transmitted into the hole portion. Therefore, the lighting portions (through holes 76a and 77a) of the game state display 70 can be clearly lit without using a light emitting body with high output as the display LED 103a.

  In addition, since light is guided by the front rod-shaped light guide 74 and the rear rod-shaped light guide 75, the opening front ends of the through holes 76a and 77a are compared with the configuration in which light is simply transmitted through the through holes 76a and 77a. The reached light can be prevented from being weakened, and the lighting portions (through holes 76a and 77a) of the game state indicator 70 can be clearly displayed. For this reason, it is possible to install the lighting display unit 71 of the game status indicator 70 on the game board 20 side, and to install the display LED board 103 on the installation member 81 side, so that the electrical components attached to the game board 20 can be installed. It can be reduced to improve the recyclability.

  In particular, as in the gaming state indicator 70 according to the embodiment, the front bar-shaped light guide 74 and the rear bar-shaped light guide 75 are formed at positions that are aligned in the front-rear direction with respect to the flat plate portion 73 of the display light guide member 72. Then, the rear LED light guide 75 is configured to protrude into the third mounting opening 22c formed in the game board 20, so that the display LED board 103 is installed at a position away from the game board 20. Can do. Moreover, even if the display LED board 103 is installed at a position away from the game board 20 as described above, the front side partition member 76 via the front and rear bar-shaped light guides 74 and 75 corresponding to the light of the display LED 103a. Therefore, the lighting portion of the game state indicator 70 will not be obscured. Furthermore, the rear light guide 75 is fitted so as to pass through the fitting hole 56 formed in the attachment member 51, so that the display light guide member 72 is accurately positioned with respect to the attachment member 51. Can do. Therefore, when the game board 20 and the installation member 81 are assembled, each display LED board 103 can be accurately faced to each through-hole 77a formed in the rear partition member 77, and the game status display The lighting portions (through holes 76a and 77a) of the device 70 can be lighted more accurately in a predetermined pattern.

  Further, each of the front bar-shaped light guide part 74 and the rear bar-shaped light guide part 75 is formed so as to be slightly reduced in diameter as it goes toward the projecting end, so that the light emitted from the display LED 103a is front and rear bar-shaped. Even when the light is converged on the center line of the light guides 74 and 75 and the amount of light is small, the lighting parts (through holes 76a and 77a) of the game state display 70 can be lighted more clearly. In addition, since the front and rear bar-shaped light guides 74 and 75 can be easily inserted into and removed from the through holes 76a and 77a of the front and rear partition members 76 and 77, the gaming status indicator 70 (lighting display 71) can be removed. Assembling workability can be simplified, which can contribute to improvement of recyclability.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, in addition to the symbol variation effect performed by the symbol display device 18, the first decoration LED 125a of the light emitting decoration part 60 provided in the winning opening forming member 50 and the lower effect device The effect LEDs 92a and 92b of the second LED substrate 92 at 90 are illuminated to produce effects. In the light emitting decoration portion 60, a first LED board 125 is installed on a board installation portion 124 provided on the rear surface of the normal winning ball discharge passage member 120, and a ball passage formed in the normal winning ball discharge passage member 120 ( A decoration transmission body 61 is provided on the winning opening forming member 50 located on the front side across the vertical discharge passage 122), and the light of the first decoration LED 125a transmitted through the ball passage (vertical discharge passage 122) is the decoration transmission body. 61 is irradiated. In this way, by installing the first LED board 125 behind the ball passage (vertical discharge passage 122), it is possible to install the light emitting decoration portion 60 so as to overlap with the formation location of the ball passage (vertical discharge passage 122). Become. Accordingly, it is possible to form the light emitting decoration portion 60 even in a place where it is difficult to dispose the substrate in front of the ball passage (vertical discharge passage 122), and the pachinko machine 10 has a higher degree of freedom for performing decoration and effects by light emission. To do. In addition, since the first LED substrate 125 is installed behind the ball passage (vertical discharge passage 122), the light emitting unit 66 can be prevented from being brightened with excessive brightness.

  Further, the decorative transmissive body 61 is provided with a convex lens portion 64 so as to face the light irradiation direction of the first decorative LED 125a across the normal winning ball discharge passage member 120, and is condensed by the convex lens portion 64. The light is configured to be transmitted through the odd-shaped light guide unit 65 to cause the light emitting unit 66 to emit light. That is, even if the first decorative LED 125a and the light emitting portion 66 are separated by the ball passage (vertical discharge passage 122), the light is condensed by the convex lens portion 64. The brightness can be brightened. In addition, the irregular light guide 65 extends from the center of the convex lens portion 64 in the light irradiation direction of the first decorative LED 125a and extends radially from the center, thereby providing one first decorative LED 125a. The light-emitting portion 66 having a complicated shape can be caused to emit light using. Further, since the light emitting portion 66 is formed with a light diffusing surface 66a that reflects and diffuses light, the light emitting portion 66 is entirely made to emit light by reflecting the light transmitted through the irregular light guide portion 65. It is possible to improve decoration.

  Further, the second decorative cover body 127 of the normal winning ball discharge passage member 120 is provided with the first rod-shaped light guide portion 133 and the second rod-shaped light guide portion 135, and is provided on the second LED substrate 92. The first light emitting unit 92a and the second light emitting LED 92b emit light so that the light transmitted through the first rod-shaped light guide unit 133 and the second rod-shaped light guide unit 135 corresponds to the first light emitting unit 132 and the second light emitting unit. Production is performed with 134 brightening. Here, the separation distance from the first effect LED 92a to the rear end of the first rod-shaped light guide 133 is greater than the distance from the second effect LED 92b to the rear end of the second rod-shaped light guide 135. Since the light is set to be shorter, the light from the second effect LED 92b is directed to the second rod light guide 135 than the light from the first effect LED 92a reaches the first rod light guide 133. The reaching light spreads around. That is, the light from the first effect LED 92a is entirely guided to the first rod-shaped light guide part 133 and transmitted to the first light emitting part 132, while a part of the light from the second effect LED 92b is the second light. The second light emitting unit 134 is directly irradiated without entering the rear end portion of the rod-shaped light guide unit 135. As described above, the light irradiation range from the first effect LED 92a can be made narrower than the light irradiation range from the second effect LED 92b, and the first light emitting unit 132 can emit light by the first effect LED 92a. And the range of the 2nd light emission part 134 which can be light-emitted by LED92b for 2nd effects can be changed.

  In addition, an upper cylindrical portion 95 or a lower cylindrical portion 96 is provided on the front side of each of the first effect LEDs 92a, and the upper cylindrical portion 95 and the lower cylindrical portion 96 are arranged at the opening front end portions. Since the rear end portion of the one rod-shaped light guide portion 133 faces, the light from each first effect LED 92a can be concentrated on the rear end portion of the corresponding first rod-shaped light guide portion 133. That is, in the 1st rod-shaped light guide part 133 where the separation distance from LED 92a for the 1st production was set short, it becomes easy to condense before the irradiation range of the light from LED 92a for the 1st production expands, The first light emitting unit 132 can be made small to emit strong light.

  On the other hand, the normal winning ball discharge passage member 120 (the vertical passage 115 of the second passage portion 113) is positioned in front of each of the second effect LEDs 92b, and the normal winning ball discharge passage member 120 (second passage). Since the second rod-shaped light guide portion 135 is arranged so as to face the light irradiation direction of the second effect LED 92b across the vertical passage 115) of the portion 113, the light of the second effect LED 92b is guided to the second rod shape. While irradiating the light part 135, light can also be irradiated to the periphery of the second rod-shaped light guide part 135, and the entire front end part of the second light emitting part 134 having a large light emitting region can be brightened. It becomes.

Further, the ball passage (the vertical passage 115 of the second passage portion 113) is formed to be light-transmitting, and the second effect LED 92b is disposed behind the ball passage (the vertical passage 115 of the second passage portion 113). so,
Even in places where it is difficult to secure a board installation space on the front side of the ball passage (vertical passage 115 of the second passage portion 113), it is possible to produce and decorate with light emission, which can increase the degree of freedom of design of the pachinko machine 10 and can be decorated. Can be improved. In addition, by installing the second effect LED 92b behind the ball passage (the vertical passage 115 of the second passage portion 113), the first and second light emitting portions 132 and 134 are brightened with excessive brightness. Can be prevented. And in the 2nd rod-shaped light guide part 135 in which the separation distance from the LED 92b for 2nd effects was set long, the irradiation range of the light from this LED 92b for 2nd effects expanded, and it was formed relatively large. The entire light emitting unit 134 can emit light. Accordingly, the first light-emitting portion 132 and the second light-emitting portion are matched with the separation distance between the first rod-shaped light guide portion 133 and the second rod-shaped light guide portion 135 and the corresponding first effect LED 92a and second effect LED 92b. By setting the size (light emitting area) of the portion 134, effective light emission can be realized.

  In addition, since light diffusion surfaces 132a and 134a are formed at the front end portions of the first light emitting unit 132 and the second light emitting unit 134, respectively, the first bar light guide unit 133 and the second bar light guide unit 135 are formed.
