In addition, you may make it further provide the base material which consists of paper mounts etc. in the back surface of the said metal reflective layer 21. FIG.

(Metal reflective layer)
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7A, the metal reflective layer 21 includes a transparent resin layer 21A that forms the front side of the metal reflective layer 21, and a metal film 21B provided on the back surface of the transparent resin layer 21A. It consists of. The transparent resin layer 21A is formed from a thin transparent synthetic resin material, and the surface of the transparent resin layer 21A is formed to be substantially smooth, and a predetermined uneven pattern is formed on the back surface of the transparent resin layer 21A. Is formed. The metal film 21B may be formed by depositing a metal such as aluminum on the back surface of the transparent resin layer 21A, for example, so that the back surface of the transparent resin layer 21A is provided with a pattern of the uneven pattern of the transparent resin layer 21A. A plurality of reflecting portions 25 made of the metal film 21B is formed. In the board surface decoration sheet 20 of the embodiment, each reflecting portion 25 is formed in a rectangular outline shape, and is arranged in a grid pattern in the vertical and horizontal directions (see FIG. 6). The concavo-convex pattern of each reflecting portion 25 is a large number of concentric circles centered on the center of the reflecting portion 25, and the reflecting portion 25 is a concave curved reflecting mirror. Thereby, each reflective surface 25 can reflect individually the indoor illumination light in a game hall, and the light emitted from another pachinko machine P arranged in another game board installation stand located ahead. It has become. In addition, the arrangement of the reflecting portions 25 is not limited to a grid pattern, and may be arranged by shifting in the vertical direction or by shifting in the horizontal direction. Further, each reflecting portion 25 is not limited to a rectangular shape, but may be a polygonal shape such as a triangle or a pentagon, a circular shape or an elliptical shape. Furthermore, the concave / convex pattern of each reflecting portion 25 is not limited to those formed from a large number of concentric circles, but various shapes such as polygons formed concentrically, zigzags, complicated geometric patterns, etc. A pattern can be adopted.

(Opaque layer)
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 6 and 7A, the opaque layer 22 is printed and formed with a light-shielding ink in a required region on the surface of the transparent resin layer 21A of the metal reflective layer 21. Is. Since the opaque layer 22 does not have optical transparency, the metal reflective layer 21 is not seen through from the front side in the region where the opaque layer 22 is printed (see FIG. 6). Accordingly, in the reflective portion 25 located on the back side of the region where the opaque layer 22 is printed and formed in the metal reflective layer 21, external light irradiated from the front side is blocked by the opaque layer 22 and the reflective portion 25. Therefore, the region where the opaque layer 22 is formed is not brightened by the reflecting portion 25 even when it is exposed to external light.

(Transparent layer)
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7A, a design layer 26 that covers the surfaces of the transparent resin layer 21 </ b> A and the opaque layer 22 is printed on the surface side of the metal reflective layer 21. The design layer 26 is printed with illustrations, characters, and the like related to the design effect contents of the design display device H using a translucent colored translucent ink. Therefore, in the design layer 26, the portion printed on the portion excluding the opaque layer 22 (transparent resin layer 21A) is the transmissive layer 23 through which the metal reflective layer 21 can be seen from the front side. That is, in the reflection part 25 located on the back side of the region where the transmission layer 23 is formed in the metal reflection layer 21, the external light irradiated from the front side passes through the transmission layer 23 and reaches the reflection layer 25. External light is reflected by the portion 25. Thus, the design layer 26 is such that external light is not reflected by the metal reflection layer 21 at the front side portion of the opaque layer 22, and external light is reflected by the metal reflection layer 21 at the portion forming the transmission layer 23 so as to be bright. become. As shown in FIG. 7B, the opaque layer 22 is printed with a colored ink that does not transmit light, and the transmissive layer 23 is printed with a colored ink that transmits light. Also good.

(Surface layer)
As shown in FIG. 7, the surface layer 24 is a sheet material made of a transparent resin, and is disposed on the front side of the metal reflective layer 21 on which the opaque layer 22 and the transmissive layer 23 are formed by an adhesive or the like. . The surface layer 24 is required to have wear resistance, scratch resistance, smoothness, and the like because pachinko balls flowing down the game area 11 are in contact with each other. For example, a polycarbonate resin, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin, or the like is preferable. To be implemented.

(Reflection part)
In the game board D provided with the board decoration sheet 20 configured as described above, when viewed from the front side, the game nail 30 provided in the opaque layer 22 formation area and the transmission layer 23 formation area are arranged. The shape of an image 30B of the game nail 30 reflected on the surface of the board decoration sheet 20 is different from that of the game nail 30 provided. That is, as schematically shown in FIG. 8, the game nail 30 disposed in the formation region of the opaque layer 22 has an angle, a length, a shape, etc. because the game nail 30 is reflected by the opaque layer 22. Is reflected on the surface of the board decoration sheet 20 as it is. On the other hand, the game nail 30 disposed in the formation region of the transmission layer 23 is bent, distorted, or plurally because the game nail 30 is diffusely reflected by the reflection portion 25 of the metal reflection layer 21. The overlapped image 30 </ b> B is formed, and the angle, length, shape, and the like are not accurately reflected on the surface of the board surface decoration sheet 20.

  Here, the game nail 30 is an important game component for adjusting the flow mode of the pachinko ball flowing down the game area 11, and it is necessary to finely adjust the mounting angle with respect to the base material 10 in a timely manner. However, since the adjustment operation is performed while viewing both the game nail 30 itself and the image 30B of the game nail 30 projected on the game board surface, the image 30B of the game nail 30 is accurately projected on the game board surface. Otherwise, there will be a problem that the mounting angle cannot be adjusted accurately. Therefore, in the game board D of the embodiment, the formation region of the opaque layer 22 in the board surface decoration sheet 20 is set as follows.

  That is, each game nail 30 as a flow path changing member disposed in the game area 11 can be appropriately adjusted in mounting angle after being placed on the base material 10 of the game board D. (A) A game nail (hereinafter referred to as “first game nail 31”) that is highly likely to affect the game due to a change in the mounting angle with respect to the game board D. )), And (b) game nails (hereinafter referred to as “second game nails 32”) that are unlikely to affect the game due to changes in the mounting angle with respect to the game board D. Specifically, as the first game nail 31, as shown in FIG. 2, (1) the first game nail 31 is disposed in the periphery immediately above the first start winning port 63 and the second starting winning port 64 of the start winning device 60. A game nail that affects the winning rate of the pachinko ball to the first start winning opening 63 and the second starting winning opening 64, (2) disposed in the periphery immediately above the winning opening 85 of the special winning device 80; A game nail that affects the winning rate of the pachinko ball to the winning opening 85, and (3) arranged around the winning hole 28A of the normal winning tool 28 or just above the ordinary winning hole 95, and the winning hole 28A. And a game nail that affects the entrance rate of the pachinko balls into the normal winning opening 95, and (4) is arranged around the gate member 34 and affects the pass rate of the pachinko balls to the gate member 34. A game nail, (5) arranged around the rotation guide 33, and the rotation guide 3 (6) Pachinko balls placed on the start winning device 60 from the vicinity of the rotation guide 33 toward the start winning device 60 in a right-down direction. A game nail that affects the flow of the game, (7) it is arranged in a series of right downwards from the vicinity of the rotation guide 33 toward the special prize device 80, and influences the flow of pachinko balls to the special prize device 80 (8) A pachinko ball entrance rate to the ball passage 35B, which is disposed in the vicinity of the ball passage 35B (see FIG. 2) formed in the left portion of the frame-shaped decorative member 35. Game nails, etc. that affect the

  In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the first opaque nail layer 22 is formed around or near the portion where the first game nail 31 is affected by the change in the mounting angle. A reflection part 27 in which the game nail 31 can be reflected is provided. As described above, the reflection portion 27 is formed of the opaque layer 22 that cannot transmit the metal reflection layer 21 in the board decoration sheet 20, so that the angle, length, shape, and the like of the first game nail 31 are not changed. The reflected image 30 </ b> B is displayed on the surface of the board surface decoration sheet 20, and the image 30 </ b> B in a distorted state, a bent state, or a plurality of overlapping images 30 </ b> B is not displayed on the surface of the board surface decoration sheet 20. Therefore, the first game nail 31 is reflected in the corresponding reflection part 27, so that the attachment angle with respect to the game board surface can be appropriately adjusted during the adjustment work.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the reflection portion 27 is provided around the mounting base portion 30 </ b> A located on the surface of the game board D in the first game nail 31. As a result, the first game nail 31 can cause the image 30B including at least the mounting base 30A of the first game nail 31 to be reflected in the corresponding reflection part 27, and the image reflected in the reflection part 27 It can be easily confirmed that 30B belongs to the first game nail 31. That is, in the state in which another game nail 30 (the first game nail 31 and the second game nail 32) adjacent to the first game nail 31 corresponding to the reflection part 27 can be reflected on the reflection part 27. Even if it exists, it can prevent that the inconvenience which misidentifies the image 30B of another game nail 30 reflected in this reflection part 27 with the said 1st game nail 31 generate | occur | produces.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9 (a), the reflection portion 27 has a plurality of first game nails 31 (three in the figure) arranged adjacent to each other. , 31, 31 are provided so as to be reflected. That is, the reflection part 27 shown in FIG. 9A is formed in a single shape and size that are continuous in the direction in which the first game nails 31 are continuous. In such a reflection portion 27, it is possible to simultaneously reflect the adjacent first game nails 31, 31, 31, and therefore the relative arrangement interval of the first game nails 31, 31, 31. It is possible to appropriately adjust the mounting angle and the like. In addition, also in the reflection part 27 shown to Fig.9 (a), if the reflection part 27 is provided over the circumference | surroundings including the attachment base 30A of each 1st game nail 31, each 1st game nail 31 will be provided. Each image 30A including the mounting base portion 30A can be reflected at the same time, and the relative posture and mounting angle of each first game nail 31 can be confirmed.

  Further, in the portion where the first game nails 31 are arranged adjacent to each other, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), a small-size reflection is made between the adjacent first game nails 31,30. A portion 27 may be provided so that the first game nails 31 and 30 can be reflected separately. In such a form, when the first game nail 31 on the left side of the figure is viewed from the left side opposite to the reflection part 27, the first game nail 31A on the left side can be reflected on the reflection part 27. When the first game nail 31 on the right side of the figure is viewed from the right side opposite to the reflection part 27, the first game nail 31 on the right side can be reflected on the reflection part 27. It becomes possible to adjust the mounting angle of both the first game nails 31, 30 at the portion 27. 9B, since the area of the reflection portion 27 formed by the opaque layer 22 can be reduced, the area of the transmission layer 23 is increased, and the reflection portion 25 of the metal reflection layer 21 is increased. The function of the panel decoration sheet 20 that reflects external light is effectively utilized.

Each of the right shock absorbers 58 protruding from the inner surface 51A of the portion 51 is formed with the same amount of protrusion from the inner surface 51A of the outer wall portion 51 into the spherical guide path 42. The amount of protrusion of each left buffer portion 57 into the ball guide path 42 and the amount of protrusion of each right buffer portion 58 into the ball guide path 42 are the amount of protrusion of each rear buffer portion 55 into the ball guide path 42. In addition, it is set to several times (3 to 4 times in the embodiment) as compared with the amount of protrusion of each front buffer portion 56 into the ball guide path 42.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, each rear buffer portion 55 projecting from the inner surface 48A of the rear wall portion 48 and each front buffer portion 56 projecting from the inner surface 49A of the front wall portion 49 are arranged on the inner wall portion. The cross-sectional shape fractured in the direction parallel to the inner surface 50A of 50 is formed in a triangular shape whose width in the sphere passing direction gradually narrows from the inner surface 48A or 49A toward the protruding end. That is, the rear buffer portion 55 has a first buffer surface 55A that inclines to the downstream side in the ball passing direction as it approaches the protruding end from the inner surface 48A of the rear wall portion 48, and a downstream in the ball passing direction as it approaches the inner surface 48A from the protruding end. It is comprised by the 2nd buffering surface 55B which inclines to the side, and protrudes in the state in which the protrusion end was sharp. The front buffer portion 56 includes a first buffer surface 56A that inclines toward the downstream side in the ball passing direction as it approaches the protruding end from the inner surface 49A of the front wall portion 49, and a downstream surface in the ball passing direction as it approaches the inner surface 49A from the protruding end. It is comprised by the 2nd buffer surface 56B which inclines to the side, and protrudes in the state in which the protrusion end was sharp.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, in each left buffer portion 57, the inclination angle of the first buffer surface 57A with respect to the horizontal is larger than the inclination angle of the third buffer surface 57C with respect to the horizontal. On the other hand, in each right buffer portion 58, the inclination angle of the first buffer surface 58A with respect to the horizontal is larger than the inclination angle of the third buffer surface 58C with respect to the horizontal. And the inclination angle with respect to the horizontal of the first buffer surface 57A in each left buffer part 57 is larger than the inclination angle with respect to the horizontal of the first buffer surface 58A in each right buffer part 58. Thereby, the pachinko ball flowing down the vertical guide path 52 of the ball guide path 42 from the component that moves to the outer wall part 51 side (right side) when contacting the first buffer surface 57A of each left buffer part 57, The component that moves to the inner wall portion 50 side (left side) when contacting the first buffer surface 58A of each right buffer portion 58 becomes larger. That is, since the ball guide path 42 is curved leftward as the vertical guide path 52 is directed downward, the pachinko ball is the first buffer surface 57A of the left buffer portion 57 and the first buffer surface 58A of the second buffer portion 58. By alternately contacting each other, the pachinko ball is formed so as to easily flow down along the curved direction in the longitudinal guide path 52.

  The frame constituent member 37 that forms the spherical guide path 42 is an integrally formed member that is injection-molded from a transparent resin, and the decorative plate member 38 is also an integrally formed member that is also injection-molded from a transparent resin. As shown in FIGS. 12B and 15, the frame constituent member 37 has a light diffusion surface 37 </ b> A formed on the back surface thereof, and illumination means disposed on the rear side of the frame constituent member 37. The illumination light emitted from the light can be transmitted while being diffused by the light diffusion surface 37A. The light diffusing surface 37A is also formed on the rear surface of the rear wall portion 48 so that the inside of the spherical guide path 42 is brightened by the irradiation of the illumination means arranged on the rear side of the frame constituting member 37. Become. Further, the decorative plate member 38 is coated in a hexagonal frame shape (honeycomb shape) on the front surface thereof, and can pass through the spherical guide path 42 through a front wall portion 49 that forms the spherical guide path 42. ing. Therefore, even if the decorative plate member 38 is attached to the frame constituent member 37, it is possible to visually recognize the pachinko ball moving in the ball guide path 42.

  In the ball guide path 42 configured as described above, the first to first pachinko balls that have entered the ball guide path 42 through the ball passage 45 are formed on the rear wall portions 48, 49, 50, 51. By appropriately contacting each of the fourth buffer portions 55 to 58, the momentum of the pachinko sphere flowing down in the vertical guide path 52 is reduced, and the reduced pachinko sphere passes through the lateral guide path 53 and passes through the ball. Pass through the exit 46. As a result, the pachinko ball that has flowed down the second flow-down path 17 is directed to the start winning device 60 and the special winning device 80 that are disposed on the left and right center sides of the game area 11 from the ball outlet 46 of the ball guide path 42. It is possible to prevent a violent collision and to prevent the winning devices 60 and 80 from being damaged, worn out, or broken. Further, the ball guide path 42 allows the pachinko ball that has flowed down the second flow down path 17 to smoothly enter the second start winning port 64 of the start winning device 60 or the special winning device 80, and the both winning devices. Pachinko balls that have not won 60, 80 can be smoothly guided to the out port 29.

  The ball guide path 42 has a plurality of rear shock absorbers 55 and front shock absorbers 56 facing in the front-rear direction intersecting the ball passing direction, and a plurality of left shock absorbers facing in the direction parallel to the front surface of the game board D. Since the portion 57 and the right buffer portion 58 are provided, the inside of the ball guide path 42 is formed in a zigzag shape in two directions intersecting each other, and the momentum of the pachinko sphere can be suitably reduced. In addition, the rear shock absorbers 55 and the front shock absorbers 56 formed so as to face each other in the front-rear direction are provided at positions shifted in the ball passing direction, so that the rear shock absorbers 55 face each other across the ball passage route. The distance between the projecting ends of the buffer portion 55 and the front buffer portion 56 is not narrowed, and the rear buffer portion 55 and the front buffer portion 56 do not hinder the passage of the pachinko balls, so that no clogging occurs. Similarly, each left buffer portion 57 and each right buffer portion 58 formed so as to face each other in a direction parallel to the front surface of the game board D are provided at positions shifted in the ball passing direction. The interval between the projecting ends of the left buffer portion 57 and the right buffer portion 58 facing each other across the exit path is not narrowed, and the left buffer portion 57 and the right buffer portion 58 do not hinder the passage of pachinko balls. So ball clogging does not occur.

  In addition, the amount of protrusion of each left buffer portion 57 and each right buffer portion 58 facing in the direction parallel to the front surface of the game board into the ball guide path 42 corresponds to each rear buffer facing the game board D in the front-rear direction. The pachinko balls passing through the vertical guide path 52 of the ball guide path 42 are in a direction parallel to the front surface of the game board D (because it is larger than the protruding amount of the portion 55 and each front buffer section 56 into the ball guide path 42 ( It swings greatly in the left and right directions) and flows down along the inner surface 50A of the inner wall portion 50 and the inner surface 51A of the outer wall portion 51, and the pachinko ball passing through the ball guide path 42 can be swayed.

The opening / closing door 82 is displaced in its posture toward the open position by its own weight.

(Operation control of start prize device and special prize device)
Next, the operation control of the start winning device 60 and the special winning device 80 will be described. In the pachinko machine P of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, the electromagnetic solenoid 72 of the start winning device 60 and the special prize device 80 are compared with the main control device 200 as a control means for comprehensively controlling the pachinko machine P. An intermittent control device (intermittent control means) 203 for driving the electromagnetic solenoid 90 is connected. Based on an open signal (continuous operation signal) input from the main control device 200, the intermittent control device 203 The electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 are configured to be driven and controlled.

(Intermittent control device)
The intermittent control device 203 can output an intermittent operation signal so as to excite the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 at intervals that can hold the open / close body 67 or the open / close door 82 as a movable body at the open position, which is the operation position. The intermittent operation signal is output to the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 when the opening signal from the main controller 200 is input. That is, in the start winning device 60, the electromagnetic solenoid 90 is intermittently excited when the open / close body 67 is held in the open position by the intermittent control device 203 disposed between the main control device 200 and the electromagnetic solenoid 72. It has become so. Similarly, in the special prize winning device 80, the electromagnetic solenoid 90 is intermittently held when the open / close door 82 is held at the open position by the intermittent control device 203 disposed between the main control device 200 and the electromagnetic solenoid 90. Excited.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the intermittent control device 203 includes a continuous signal generation circuit (continuous signal generation means) 210, an intermittent signal generation circuit (intermittent signal generation means) 211, and an operation signal generation circuit (intermittent signal generation means). 212 is provided. When the opening signal from the main control device 200 is input, the continuous signal generation circuit 210 takes a time sufficient for the opening / closing body 67 or the opening / closing door 82 to complete opening from the closed position to the open position, It is a circuit that generates a continuous operation signal for continuously exciting the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90. The intermittent signal generation circuit 211 is an oscillation circuit that generates an intermittent operation signal that excites the electromagnetic solenoid 90 at an interval at which the opening / closing body 67 or the opening / closing door 82 can be held in the open position. An intermittent operation signal is generated based on the general signal. The continuous operation signal generated by the continuous signal generation circuit 210 and the intermittent operation signal generated by the intermittent signal generation circuit 211 are combined by a combining circuit 213. The operation signal generation circuit 212 outputs the operation signal generated by the synthesis circuit 213 to the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 in a state in which the release signal from the main control device 200 is input, and the main control. When the input of the release signal from the apparatus 200 is stopped, the circuit stops the output of the operation signal generated by the synthesis circuit 213 to the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90. That is, the intermittent control device 203 outputs a continuous operation signal to the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 at least while the open / close body 67 or the open / close door 82 is displaced from the closed position to the open position. 72 and 90 are energized continuously, and after the opening / closing body 67 or the door 82 is moved to the open position, an intermittent operation signal is output to the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 so that the electromagnetic solenoids 70 and 90 are turned on. It is designed to be excited intermittently.

  In the intermittent control device 203 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23A, the continuous signal generation circuit 210 generates a continuous signal of 200 ms (0.2 seconds). In order to displace the opening / closing body 67 or the opening / closing door 82 of the special prize winning device 80 from the closed position to the open position, the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 are continuously excited for 200 ms. The intermittent signal generation circuit 211 generates an intermittent signal having a frequency of 500 Hz and ON and OFF in one cycle being the same time, and the opening / closing body 67 of the start winning device 60 or the special winning device. In order to hold the 80 doors 82 in the open position, the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 are intermittently excited at 500 times / second. Therefore, in the start winning device 60 of the embodiment, the electromagnetic solenoid 72 is intermittently excited at 500 times / second when the opening / closing bodies 67 and 67 are held in the open position, so that the plunger 72A of the electromagnetic solenoid 72 is The open / close bodies 67 and 67 are stopped and held in the open position by being stopped and held in the state of being pulled into the main body. Further, in the start winning device 80 according to the embodiment, the electromagnetic solenoid 90 is intermittently excited at 500 times / second when the door 82 is held in the open position. Thus, the door 82 is stopped and held in the open position.

  In the start winning device 60, as will be described later, when a predetermined condition is established by a lottery performed on the condition that a pachinko ball has passed through the gate member 34, the main control device 200 opens and closes the opening / closing body 67. , 67 is opened / closed for a set time (for example, 0.1 second). Under such conditions, as shown in FIG. 23 (b), when the output of the opening signal related to the opening / closing control of the opening / closing body 67 from the main controller 200 is stopped, the electromagnetic solenoid from the operation signal generating circuit 212 is stopped. The operation signal output to 72 is stopped, and the electromagnetic solenoid 72 is not intermittently excited. That is, according to the intermittent control device 203, it is possible to perform so-called short opening / closing control that instantaneously opens / closes the opening / closing bodies 67, 67.

  In the intermittent control device 203, the intermittent signal generation circuit 211 generates an intermittent signal having a longer OFF time than ON in one cycle, and the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 are excited intermittently. It is also possible to lengthen the non-excitation time. By generating such an intermittent operation signal, the opening / closing body 67 in the start winning device 60 and the open / close door 82 in the special winning device 80 can receive at least the second start winning port 64 or winning so that at least a pachinko ball can win. The electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 can be intermittently excited so that the open / close body 67 or the open / close door 82 is positioned closer to the open position than the open state of the opening 85. That is, in the start winning device 60, as shown in FIG. 18C, when the electromagnetic solenoid 72 is intermittently excited by the intermittent control device 203, the opening and closing bodies 67, 67 move from the open position to the closed position side. Even if the posture is appropriately displaced, it is possible to win a pachinko ball (indicated by a two-dot chain line in the figure) for the second start winning opening 64, so that the winning probability of the pachinko ball for the second starting winning opening 64 is improved. Can be maintained. In the special winning device 80, as shown in FIG. 21C, when the electromagnetic solenoid 90 is intermittently excited by the intermittent control device 203, the open / close door 82 is appropriately moved from the open position to the closed position. Even if the posture is displaced, it is possible to win a pachinko ball (indicated by a two-dot chain line in the figure) with respect to the winning opening 85, and thus it is possible to maintain a state in which the winning probability of the pachinko ball with respect to the winning opening 85 is improved.

  Further, in the intermittent control device 203, the intermittent signal generation circuit 211 generates an intermittent operation signal having a low frequency, and lengthens the interval of the non-excitation time when the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 are intermittently excited. It is also possible. According to such an intermittent operation signal having a low frequency, the non-excitation time of the electromagnetic solenoid 72 becomes longer, so that the plungers 72A and 90A move by the urging force of the compression coil springs 75 and 92. Therefore, in the start winning device 60, a clearance is provided between the opening / closing body 67 and the opening / closing mechanism 68, so that the non-excitation time of the electromagnetic solenoid 72 is lengthened, and the plunger 72A is intermittently excited by the electromagnetic solenoid 72. Even if it moves slightly, the opening / closing body 67 can be stopped at the open position. Similarly, the special prize-winning device 80 is provided with a clearance between the opening / closing door 82 and the opening / closing mechanism 83, so that the non-excitation time of the electromagnetic solenoid 90 is lengthened and the plunger 90A is intermittently excited by the electromagnetic solenoid 90. Even if the door moves slightly, the open / close door 82 can be stopped at the open position.

  For example, in the special winning device 80, as shown in FIG. 24, the lever portion 91B of the linkage member 91 connected to the electromagnetic solenoid 90 side and the linkage recess 89 of the open / close door 82 are connected to the open / close door 82. When the electromagnetic solenoid 90 is intermittently excited in the open position, the electromagnetic solenoid 90 is operated with the clearance CL larger than the operating range of the lever portion 91B of the linkage member 91 operated by the electromagnetic solenoid 90 that is intermittently excited. The open / close door 82 can be stopped at the open position. In other words, the open / close door 82 includes a stopper 93 that is locked to the apparatus main body 81 in the open position, and is configured to be restricted from rotating downward from the open position. The lever portion 91B of the linkage member 91 includes the electromagnetic solenoid 90. If it is set so as to be spaced apart from the linkage recess 89 provided in the door 82 in the excited state, a predetermined clearance is provided between the lever portion 91B and the linkage recess 89 at the opening position of the door 82. CL is defined. Therefore, in the special winning device 80, the linkage operated by the electromagnetic solenoid 90 that intermittently excites the lever portion 91B of the linkage member 91 connected to the electromagnetic solenoid 90 side and the linkage recess 89 of the open / close door 82. When the linkage is performed with a clearance CL larger than the operating range of the lever portion 91B of the member 91, the open / close door 82 can be stopped at the open position when the electromagnetic solenoid 90 is intermittently excited. In the start winning device 60, the recess 74C of the lever portion 74B of the second linkage member 74 connected to the electromagnetic solenoid 72 side and the linkage pin 71 of each opening / closing body 67 are shown in FIG. If the opening and closing body 67 is linked with a clearance larger than the operating range of the lever portion 74B of the second linkage member 74 operated by the electromagnetic solenoid 72 that is intermittently excited at the open position of the opening and closing body 67, the electromagnetic solenoid 72 is intermittently operated. Each open / close body 67 can be stopped at the open position during the effective excitation.

  Therefore, according to the operation modes of the electromagnetic solenoid 72 of the start winning device 60 and the electromagnetic solenoid 90 of the special winning device 80 based on the control of the intermittent control device 203, the opening / closing body 67 or the opening / closing door 82 is held in the open position. The energization time for the electromagnetic solenoids 72, 90 is shortened, whereby heat generation of the electromagnetic solenoids 72, 90 can be suppressed, and performance degradation and failure of the electromagnetic solenoids 72, 90 can be prevented. Further, since the heat generation of the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 due to holding the opening / closing body 67 or the opening / closing door 82 in the open position is suppressed, the opening / closing body 67 or the opening / closing door 82 can be held in the open position for a long time. . Further, since the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 are intermittently energized when the open / close body 67 or the open / close door 82 is held in the open position, the energization time can be shortened and the power consumption can be reduced. On the other hand, when the open / close body 67 or the open / close door 82 is displaced from the closed position to the open position, the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 are continuously operated at least while the open / close body 67 or the open / close door 82 is displaced from the closed position to the open position. Therefore, the opening / closing body 67 or the opening / closing door 82 can be appropriately and reliably displaced to the open position.

  Further, the intermittent control device 203 includes a continuous signal generation circuit 210 that generates a continuous operation signal, an intermittent signal generation circuit 211 that generates an intermittent operation signal, and an intermittent operation following the output of the continuous operation signal. Since an operation signal generation circuit 212 for outputting a normal operation signal is provided, an intermittent operation signal for intermittently exciting the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 can be generated and output in the intermittent control device 203. The control system for intermittently exciting the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90 is configured only by interposing the intermittent control device 203 between the main control device 200 and the electromagnetic solenoids 72 and 90. The main control device 200 has a conventional configuration. Can be used.

  The ball detection signals from the start winning device 60, the special winning device 80, the normal winning device 28, and the ball detection switch disposed on the gate member 34 are attached to the rear side of the installation member 100 and the pachinko machine P is connected. The data is sent to the main controller 200 (FIG. 24) that performs overall control. When the main control device 200 receives a detection signal from the ball detection switch 44 of the gate member 34, the main control device 200 performs an appropriate lottery. When a preset condition is established by the lottery, the opening / closing body 67, An opening time 67 is determined, and an opening signal is continuously output to the intermittent control device 203 over the opening time. In the intermittent control device 203, as described above, when the release signal from the main control device 200 is input, the continuous operation signal generated in the continuous signal generation circuit 210 and the intermittent signal generation circuit 211 are generated. The intermittent operation signal is combined by the combining circuit 213, and the operation signal generation circuit 212 first outputs the generated continuous operation signal to the electromagnetic solenoid 72. Thereby, the electromagnetic solenoid 72 is continuously excited, and the opening / closing bodies 67 and 67 are displaced from the closed position to the open position. In addition, the operation signal generation circuit 212 of the intermittent control device 203, when the input of the release signal from the main control device 200 is stopped during the output of the continuous operation signal to the electromagnetic solenoid 72, the electromagnetic solenoid at that time. Since the output of the continuous operation signal to 72 is stopped, and thereby the excitation of the electromagnetic solenoid 72 is stopped, the opening / closing bodies 67 and 67 are displaced to the closed position. Further, the operation signal generation circuit 212 of the intermittent control device 203 is intermittently supplied to the electromagnetic solenoid 72 if the release signal from the main control device 200 is inputted when the output of the continuous operation signal to the electromagnetic solenoid 72 is completed. The intermittent operation signal generated by the signal generation circuit 211 is output, and the electromagnetic solenoid 72 is intermittently excited to hold the open / close bodies 67 and 67 in the open position. As a result, the start winning device 60 holds the opening and closing bodies 67 and 67 in the open position by intermittent excitation of the electromagnetic solenoid 72, so that the second start winning port 64 is opened for a predetermined time. Winning probability is increased. On the other hand, when receiving a detection signal from the ball detection switch 69 of the start winning device 60, the main control device 200 outputs an operation signal to the payout control device and causes the ball payout device to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls. .

  When the main control device 200 receives a detection signal from the ball detection switch 69 of the start winning device 60, the main control device 200 performs a lottery lottery and an overall control device (not shown) attached to the rear side of the installation member 100. ) Output an operation signal to cause the symbol display device H to perform a symbol variation effect, and output an operation signal to a payout control device (not shown) disposed on the rear side of the middle frame B, A ball payout device (not shown) is made to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls. Here, when a special condition (such as a set of three jackpot symbols) is established as a result of the jackpot lottery in the main controller 200 and a special gaming state occurs, the display unit H1 of the symbol display device H After the symbol variation effect, the symbols are stopped and displayed in a predetermined symbol combination on the display unit H1, and the main control device 200 determines the opening time of the open / close door 82 of the special winning device 80, and this opening time. The open signal is continuously output to the intermittent control device 203 over the period. In the intermittent control device 203, as described above, when the release signal from the main control device 200 is input, the continuous operation signal generated in the continuous signal generation circuit 210 and the intermittent signal generation circuit 211 are generated. The intermittent operation signal is combined with the combining circuit 213, and the operation signal generation circuit 212 first outputs the generated continuous operation signal to the electromagnetic solenoid 90. Thereby, the electromagnetic solenoid 90 is continuously excited, and the opening / closing door 82 is displaced from the closed position to the open position. Then, the operation signal generation circuit 212 of the intermittent control device 203 is intermittently supplied to the electromagnetic solenoid 90 if the release signal from the main control device 200 is inputted when the output of the continuous operation signal to the electromagnetic solenoid 90 is completed. The intermittent operation signal generated by the signal generation circuit 211 is output, and the electromagnetic solenoid 90 is intermittently excited to hold the open / close door 82 in the open position. As a result, the special winning device 80 holds the opening / closing door 82 in the open position by intermittent excitation of the electromagnetic solenoid 90, so that the winning opening 85 is opened for a predetermined time, so that a large number of pachinko balls can be won. It becomes. When the main control device 200 receives the detection signal from the ball detection switch 84 of the special winning device 80, the main control device 200 outputs an operation signal to the payout control device to cause the ball payout device to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls. .
