  As described above, the light emitting effect means 28 mounted on the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment has, for example, the partition light emitting substrates 33 to 35 provided with the light emitter 71 on one surface side substantially on the surface 32a side of the base light emitting substrate 32. By standing upright, the partition light emitting substrates 33 to 35 are used as partition members that partition the space between the base light emitting substrate 32 and the light emitting cover 42 into the inner light emitting chamber 61 and the outer light emitting chamber 62. Therefore, there is no need to provide a dedicated member for the partition. Further, since the LEDs 71 are provided not only on the base light emitting substrate 32 side but also on the partition light emitting substrates 33 to 35 side, a sufficient amount of light is secured on the inner light emitting chamber 61 side where the LED 71 on the partition light emitting substrate 33 to 35 side is disposed. it can. Moreover, since the irradiation direction of the LEDs 71 on the side of the partition light emitting substrates 33 to 35 is substantially orthogonal to the irradiation direction of the LEDs 52 on the side of the base light emitting substrate 32, light can be irradiated in two different directions within the inner light emitting chamber 61. it can. In particular, since the inner lens portion 45 of the first light emitting cover 42a forms a front-expanding cylindrical surface, it is more effective in light irradiation in two different directions by the base light emitting substrate 32 and the partition light emitting substrates 33 to 35. Can emit light.

Since both are electrically connected by this, an assembly operation is easy and wiring can also be simplified. The partition side connectors 72a to 74a and the base side connectors 72b to 74b also function as fixing means for fixing the partition light emitting substrates 33 to 35 and the base light emitting substrate 32 to each other.

  Furthermore, since the harness 76 connected to the external power supply means side is connected to the second partition light-emitting board 34, all the light-emitting boards 32 to 35 and the external power supply means are connected via the second partition light-emitting board 34. Can be electrically connected. Moreover, the light emitting effect means 28 is configured to be movable in the left-right direction parallel to the base light emitting substrate 32, and the harness 76 made of a flat cable is parallel to the base light emitting substrate 32 with respect to the second partition light emitting substrate 34. As shown in FIG. 4, the extra length of the harness 76 is arranged without being twisted on the upper side of the light emitting effect means 28 and smoothly follows the movement of the light emitting effect means 28 in the left-right direction. Can do.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, a light-emitting body may be disposed on both sides of the partition light-emitting substrate, or two partition light-emitting substrates may be disposed back to back. A flexible substrate that can be bent may be used as the partition light-emitting substrate.

  Both sides of the base light emitting substrate 32 may be used as the light emitter arrangement surface 32a. In this case, a partition light emitting substrate may be disposed on each light emitter arrangement surface 32a, or a partition light emitting substrate may be disposed only on one light emitter arrangement surface 32a.

  A plurality of partitioning light emitting substrates may be arranged with respect to the base light emitting substrate 32 and partitioned into three or more light emitting chambers. Further, the arrangement of the plurality of partition light emitting substrates on the base light emitting substrate 32 is arbitrary, and may be arranged in a crossing direction, for example, in addition to the serial shape.

  Further, another second partitioned light emitting substrate may be provided substantially vertically on the light emitter arrangement surface of the first partitioned light emitting substrate. In this case, the second partition light-emitting substrate may be disposed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base light-emitting substrate, or only substantially perpendicular to the first partition light-emitting substrate and substantially parallel to the base light-emitting substrate. You may arrange in.

  The standing angle of the partition light emitting substrate with respect to the base light emitting substrate, or the standing angle when another partition light emitting substrate is erected on the partition light emitting substrate is arbitrary, and is not limited to be vertical.

  When the partition-side connector retaining lock mechanism for the base-side connector is provided, the partition light-emitting substrate may be fixed to the base light-emitting substrate only by coupling the base-side connector and the partition-side connector. The partition light emitting substrate may be fixed to the base light emitting substrate by using both the retaining lock mechanism and a holding rail for holding the partition light emitting substrate in the plate surface direction of the base light emitting substrate 32.

  In the embodiment, a pachinko machine has been exemplified. However, other ball game machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a sparrow ball game machine as well as various game machines other than a ball game machine such as a slot machine can be similarly implemented. Needless to say.
