(Operation of Example)
In the pachinko machine 10, the pachinko ball is driven into the game area 20a toward the left side near the top of the decorative member 30, and the pachinko ball is caused to flow down the left side of the decorative member 30 so as to win a prize at the start winning ports 32a and 32b. As a result of the lottery, when the winning state is reached, the pachinko ball is driven into the game area 20a toward the left side near the top of the decorative member 30, and the pachinko ball is allowed to flow down the left side of the decorative member 30 to be released. A prize is awarded to the mouth 34a. On the other hand, when the momentum of the pachinko ball launched into the game area 20a is strong, the pachinko ball flowing down the right side of the decorative member 30 beyond the top of the decorative member 30 is guided to the start winning ports 32a and 32b and the special winning port 34a. It will be discharged | emitted from the out port 21 without being carried out. As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 having the left-sided board surface, the pachinko ball is formed with respect to the bowl-shaped portion 70 in the first region from the top of the decorative member 30 to the upper side of the ball entrance 112a of the ball guide path 112. The frequency of touching will increase. In particular, the portion extending from the top of the decorative member 30 to the upper side of the display portion 13a in the first region of the bowl-shaped portion 70 is configured to guide the pachinko ball to the left channel of the game region 20a. The frequency of contact with the ball is high. On the other hand, in the game board 20, most of the pachinko balls with respect to the bowl-shaped portion 70 in the second region extending from the top of the decorative member 30 to the lower right side extending below the start winning ports 32a and 32b. There is no opportunity to touch. In other words, the hook-like portion 70 extending to the first region may be scratched, worn, or damaged in some cases due to frequent contact with the pachinko ball. And since the bowl-shaped part 70 extended to the said 2nd area | region hardly contacts a pachinko ball, the malfunction like the said 1st area | region does not arise so much.

  According to the decorative member 30, the first collar piece 71 constituting the first region where the pachinko ball contacts the hook-shaped portion 70 is formed separately from the base plate portion 68, and the base plate portion 68. Therefore, when the above-mentioned problem occurs due to contact with the pachinko ball, the first first piece 71 can be detached from the base plate portion 68 and a new first first piece 71 can be attached. At this time, it is possible to replace only the first collar 71 in which a problem has occurred without removing the second collar 72 having no abnormality. Accordingly, since it is not necessary to replace the entire bowl-shaped portion 70, it is not necessary to remove the design piece 74 or the second movable effect device 52 disposed around the second collar piece 72, and other than the first collar piece 71. The attachment and detachment of other members can be minimized, and the maintenance is excellent. Further, if the entire bowl-shaped portion 70 is integrally formed with the base plate portion 68, even if a defect occurs only in the first region, the entire decorative member 30 including the second region without the defect is replaced, resulting in an increase in cost. However, according to the decorative member 30 of the embodiment, it is sufficient to replace the first collar 71, so that the cost for repair can be suppressed.

  The first movable effect device 42 disposed at the upper edge of the decorative member 30 irradiates light forward from the first movable light emitter 48, so that the first fixed decorative portion 45 facing the front side of the game board 20. And the 1st movable decoration part 44 is light-emitted. Here, the light irradiated from the first movable light emitter 48 is diffused by the first fixed decorative portion 45 or the first movable decorative portion 44 and encloses the first fixed decorative portion 45 and the first movable decorative portion 44. The light is reflected by the movable reflecting surface 94 formed on the inner peripheral surface 90. Further, the surrounding member 90 includes a movable light-transmitting portion 93 capable of transmitting light to the first fixed decorative portion 45 and the front side wall portion 92 extending between the first movable decorative portion 44 and the first collar piece 71. Therefore, the light diffused by the first fixed decorative portion 45 or the first movable decorative portion 44 or the light reflected by the movable reflective surface 94 passes through the movable light transmitting portion 93 and passes through the first collar piece 71. Illuminate. As a result, the vicinity of the top of the first collar 71 receives the light of the first movable light emitter 48 that emits the decorative portions 44 and 45 of the first movable effect device arranged adjacent to the counter 30a side, and the game area 20a The top surface facing it emits light. Further, the first center decoration portion 76 disposed on the left side of the upper edge portion of the decorative member 30 emits light by irradiating light forward from the first decorative light emitter 79. Here, the light emitted from the first decorative light emitter 79 is diffused by the first decorative translucent body 84 and reflected by the decorative reflecting surface 83 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the wall 81 of the first decorative cover body 80. Is done. In addition, the first decorative cover body 80 is formed with a decorative light transmitting portion 82 that allows light to pass through a wall portion 81 that extends to the first collar piece 71 side, and the first decorative transparent body 84 is transparent. Thus, the light diffused by the first decorative translucent body 84 and the light reflected by the decorative reflecting surface 83 pass through the decorative light transmitting part 82 and illuminate the first collar piece 71. As a result, the upper right portion of the first collar 71 receives the light of the first decorative light emitter 79 that emits light from the first center decoration portion 76 disposed adjacent to the window 30a, and the upper surface facing the game area 20a emits light. To do.

  As described above, the first area that the pachinko ball contacts with the decoration member 30 at a high frequency and the player gazes at can be suitably decorated by the light emission of the first collar 71. In particular, in the first region of the bowl-shaped portion 70, the portion from the top of the decorative member 30 to the left side of the upper edge portion is affected by the flow of the pachinko ball, such as the pachinko ball hits or guides the pachinko ball along the portion. Since it is greatly involved, it is possible to further enhance the interest associated with the movement of the pachinko ball by emitting light from the first collar 71 to emit light. On the other hand, the second collar piece 72 formed opaque does not emit light even if the second movable effect device 52 or the second center decoration portion 85 arranged adjacent to the window 30a emits light. The decoration mode by light emission can be divided into the area and the second area. Moreover, although the 1st collar 71 light-emits by the 1st movable production | presentation apparatus 42 and the 1st center decoration part 76, the surface which faces the game area | region 20a does not reflect light. On the other hand, since the 2nd collar piece 72 is formed so that light can be reflected by the plating process given to the surface, the light around this 2nd collar piece 72 can be reflected. As described above, since the first collar 71 and the second collar 72 are different in decoration even in the state where the first collar 71 is not light-decorated, the frequency at which the pachinko ball contacts the decorative member 30. Therefore, the difference between the first area where the player pays high attention and the second area where the player does not pay close attention can be emphasized.

  As described above, the pachinko machine that strikes the pachinko ball into the game area 20a so that the pachinko ball flows down on the left side of the decorative member 30 and wins the winning holes 32a, 32b, and 34a provided below the decorative member 30. 10, the pachinko ball hardly flows down the right side of the decorative member 30, so the player's attention to the first area extending to the left side of the bowl-shaped portion 70 extends to the right side of the bowl-shaped portion 70. It is very high compared to the existing second region. Thus, the 1st area | region extended to the left side of the bowl-shaped part 70 with high attention degree of a player is comprised by the 1st collar piece 71 which can be light-decorated, and light emission of the 1st collar piece 71 by a player is carried out. It can be conscious and a high decorative effect can be obtained. Further, the left flow path of the game area 20a facing the first area can be emphasized by the light emission of the first hook 71, rather than the right flow path of the game area 20a facing the second area that does not need attention. .

  The decorative member 30 is provided with light passing portions 82 and 93 that can transmit light between the first collar 71 and the decorative portions 44, 45, and 76. Reflecting surfaces 83 and 94 capable of reflecting light are provided on the wall portions 81 and 92 disposed at the position facing the first flange 71. That is, the light irradiated forward from the light emitters 48 and 78 that emit the decorative portions 44, 45, and 76 is reflected by the reflection surfaces 83 and 84 to a position off the light irradiation direction front side of the light emitters 48 and 78. The arranged first rod 71 can be illuminated. As described above, the first collar 71 is configured not to emit light by the dedicated light emitters 48 and 78 but to indirectly emit light using the light emitters 48 and 78 that illuminate the decoration portions 44, 45 and 76. Therefore, an increase in the number of parts of the decorative member 30 can be suppressed, and an increase in the size of the decorative member 30 caused by causing the first collar 71 to emit light can be avoided. Furthermore, the decorative portions 44, 45, 76 facing the front side and the first hook piece 71 facing the game area 20a (upward) face in different directions, but extend to the outer peripheral edges of the decorative portions 44, 45, 76. Since the first collar 71 is illuminated by the reflection of light from the reflecting surfaces 83 and 94 provided on the walls 81 and 92, the light is emitted to the decorative portions 44, 45 and 76 by the light emitters 48 and 78. The first collar 71 can be indirectly illuminated without hindering.

  The illumination means 120 emits light from the first illumination light emitter 127 provided in the facing region 126a of the illumination light emitting substrate 126, thereby causing the main light emission decoration portion 124 to emit light, and thereby the display portion 13a. The left side of the display unit 13a can be decorated with light emission by the main light emitting decoration part 124 that covers the space between the game board 20 and the installation member 60 on the left side. Moreover, the illumination means 120 can make the rear surface formation part 117 of the bulb | ball guide path 112 light-emit by irradiating light from the 2nd illumination light emitter 128 provided in the exposed area | region 126b of the illumination light emission board | substrate 126. FIG. Thus, the ball guide path 112 is decorated with light emission. As described above, the illumination means 120 can cause two different portions of the main light emission decoration portion 124 and the ball guide path 112 to emit light by the illumination light emitters 127 and 128 provided on the same illumination light emitting substrate 126. . That is, since the light-emitting substrate is not provided according to the portion to emit light, the cost can be suppressed.

  The illumination means 120 can directly illuminate the rear surface formation portion 117 by the second illumination light emitter 128 provided in the exposed region 126b that does not overlap the main light emission decoration portion 124 in the illumination light emitting substrate 126. That is, at the time of light emission of the main light emitting decoration portion 124 by the first electric light emitter 127, the ball guiding path 112 is not directly illuminated by the light emitted from the first electric light emitter 127, and the ball guidance by the second electric light emitter 128 is performed. When light is emitted from the path 112, the main light emission decoration portion 124 is not directly illuminated by the light emitted from the second electrical decoration light emitter 128. As described above, even if the first electric light emitter 127 and the second electric light emitter 128 corresponding to different parts are provided on the same electric light emitting substrate 126, the second electric light emitter 128 is placed on the exposed region 126b. By disposing, each of the main light emitting decoration portion 124 and the ball guiding path 112 can appropriately emit light. Accordingly, by turning on only the first electric light emitter 127, only the main light emitting decoration portion 124 can emit light without emitting light from the ball guide path 112, and only the second electric light emitter 128 is turned on. Thus, only the ball guiding path 112 can be caused to emit light without emitting the main light emitting decoration portion 124, and the main light emitting decoration portion 124 and the ball guiding path 112 can be connected by lighting both the electric decoration light emitters 127 and 128. Light can be emitted simultaneously.

  The left side of the inner periphery of the window 30a can be illuminated with the main light emitting decoration 124 illuminated by the first electric light emitter 127, and the decorative member by the ball guide path 112 illuminated by the second electric light emitter 128. Thirty fronts can be illuminated. Here, since the game board 20 and the decoration member 30 exist between the second electric decoration light emitting body 128 provided between the game board 20 and the installation member 60, the inner peripheral portion of the decoration member 30. The design surface 113 of the ball guide path 112 formed so as to face the front side cannot be directly illuminated. In other words, the ball guiding path 112 has a design surface 113 facing forward that is not illuminated by the second electrical light emitter 128, but is illuminated directly by the second electrical light emitter 128 via the transparent design surface 113 and emits light. Since the formation part 117 can be visually recognized, it is felt that the design surface 113 emits light when viewed from the front side. As described above, the illumination means 120 is arranged on the front side in the light irradiation direction of the first illumination light emitter 127 and not only emits the main light emission decoration portion 124 but also emits light in the same direction as the first illumination light emitter 127. By illuminating the rear portion of the ball guide path 112 protruding rearward from the game board 20 with the second illuminated light emitter 128 to be illuminated, the ball guide path deviated from the front side in the light irradiation direction of the second illuminated light emitter 128 It is possible to make 112 design surface 113 appear to emit light. Further, the main light emitting decoration part 124 whose design surface is directed to the inner side of the opening of the window 30a by the light irradiated in the same direction from the electric light emitting bodies 127 and 128 provided on the same electric light emitting substrate 126, and the sphere facing the front side The design surface 113 of the guide path 112 can be decorated with light emission. That is, even if the direction of the design surface is different between the main light emitting decoration part 124 and the ball guide path 112, the light irradiation direction is changed between the first electric light emitter 127 and the second electric light emitter 128. There is no need, and it is not necessary to use a plurality of light-emitting substrates according to the direction of the design surface. Therefore, even if two different parts of the main light emitting decoration part 124 and the ball guiding path 112 are decorated with light emission, only one electric light emitting substrate 126 is sufficient, and the number of parts of the electric decoration means 120 can be reduced to simplify the configuration. it can.

  The cover member 122, the main light emitting decoration portion 124, and the electrical light emitting board 126 are installed on the installation member 60 using a space between the game board 20 and the installation plate section 62, and the ball guide path 112 is connected to the game board 20. Is installed on the decorative member 30. In this way, the main light emitting decoration portion 124 and the ball guide path 112 that are emitted by the electric light emitters 127 and 128 provided on the same electric light emitting substrate 126 are distributed to the installation member 60 side and the game board 20 side. Thus, the main light emitting decoration portion 124 and the ball guiding path 112 can be installed by effectively using the front and rear spaces. Further, since the ball guiding path 112 is provided so as to overlap the front side of the main light emitting decoration portion 124, a light emitting substrate having a light emitter cannot be disposed on the rear side of the ball guiding path 112. If a light emitter is disposed on the rear side of the main light emission decoration portion 124, the main light emission decoration portion 124 and the ball guide path 112 cannot emit light independently. According to the illumination means 120 of the embodiment, the second illumination light emitter 128 provided in the exposed region 126b extending forward from the main light emission decoration portion 124 overlaps the front side of the main light emission decoration portion 124. The provided ball guiding path 112 can emit light satisfactorily. As described above, even if there is no space for arranging the light emitter on the rear side of the ball guide path 112, the second guide light emitter 128 disposed at a position away from the rear of the ball guide path 112 causes the ball guide path. 112 can emit light. Further, since it is not necessary to dispose a light emitting substrate that impairs the design when viewed by a player on the rear side of the ball guiding path 112, the entire ball guiding path 112 can be made transparent.

  In the spherical guiding path 112, the rear surface forming portion 117 is illuminated by light from the second electric decoration light emitter 128, and the emitted rear surface forming portion 117 is visible through the transparent design surface 113. The ball guiding path 112 can visually recognize the pachinko sphere guided by the ball guiding path 112 through the transparent design surface 113 facing the front side. The pachinko balls to be guided are easy to see, and the player's interest can be more attracted to the flow of the pachinko balls from the game area 20a through the ball guide path 112 to the stage 100. In addition, since the front side of the rear surface forming portion 117 that emits light is blocked by the pachinko sphere passing through the ball guiding path 112, the pachinko sphere can be more easily seen by contrast with the light emission.

  The holding display means 130 is turned on when the corresponding holding lens unit 139 is turned on by irradiating light from the holding light emitter 146 in response to detection of a pachinko ball winning to the start winning ports 32a and 32b. The number of effective holds can be confirmed by the number 139. As described above, the display portion 13a that the player has seen most during the game is set to the height of the player's eyes or slightly looking down so as not to burden the player. In other words, the hold display means 130 disposed below the display unit 13a looks down when the player confirms the hold lens unit 139. Since the holding lens portion 139 is provided at the corner portion 135 of the holding cover 132, the holding lens portion 139 faces the player looking down at the holding display means 130, for example, compared with the case where the holding lens portion 139 is provided on the front plate portion 133 in a plane. And easy to see from diagonally above. Since the holding lens unit 139 is directed obliquely upward to the front, even if the player looks down on the holding lens unit 139 from a high position, the holding lens unit 139 can be visually recognized from the upper side as a surface (see FIG. 8). Further, even if the player looks at the holding lens unit 139 from a low position, it is easy to see because the holding lens unit 139 can be visually recognized from the front side (see FIG. 2). Thus, even if the position of the eye moves up and down depending on the player's physique and posture, it is easy to confirm the holding lens portion 139.

  Since the holding lens unit 139 emits light by light emitted obliquely upward from the corresponding holding light emitter 146, the line of sight of the player looking down on the holding lens unit 139 and the direction of light emitted from the holding light emitter 146 are determined. Accordingly, it is easy to determine whether or not the holding lens unit 139 emits light. In other words, the holding lens unit 139 may appear to receive the light from the display unit 13a or other light emitting means and reflect the light. Since the light matches the player's line of sight, the light from the reserved light emitter 146 is easy to understand. In addition, since the lighting display on the holding lens unit 139 is easy to understand, the pachinko ball rolls on the rolling unit 103 of the stage 100 provided on the front side of the holding lens unit 139, or the start point ahead of the player. The effective display number can be easily confirmed by the holding display means 130 while taking into consideration the winning aspect of the pachinko balls to the winning ports 32a and 32b. In addition, since the holding lens unit 139 is three-dimensionally formed so as to be higher than the surface of the holding cover 132, it is easier for the player to see, and the corresponding holding light-emitting body 146 is in a light-emitting state or in a light-off state. Easy to understand.

  The holding display means 130 is configured such that the front side of the front plate portion 133 of the holding cover 132 is covered with the transparent rear wall portion 105 of the stage 100 and the upper side of the upper plate portion 134 is covered with the transparent upper wall portion 106 of the stage 100. It has been broken. The reservation lens portion 139 is visible from an obliquely upper side through the smoothly formed upper wall portion 106, and the light that is irradiated obliquely upward from the reservation light emitter 146 to the reservation lens portion 139 is obtained from the upper wall. Since the corner portion between the rear wall portion 105 and the upper wall portion 106 in the stage 100 overlaps the reservation lens portion 139, the reservation lens portion 139 is present due to the presence of the upper wall portion 106. It is difficult to be distorted, and the influence on the light emitted from the reserved light emitter 146 can be suppressed. That is, even if the reservation lens portion 139 is covered with the upper wall portion 106 of the stage 100, the reservation lens portion 139 can be easily seen from the oblique upper side.

  By providing the holding light emitting substrate 144 in an inclined posture, the space between the holding cover 132 and the installation plate portion 62 of the installation member 60 is effectively used while ensuring the interval between the storage lens portion 139 and the storage light emitter 146. Thus, a relatively large holding light emitting substrate 144 can be installed. In this way, the holding lens unit 139 and the holding light emitter 146 are arranged with a certain distance therebetween, so that only a part of the holding lens unit 139 shines in a dot shape by the light emitted from the holding light emitter 146. This can prevent the entire holding lens portion 139 from emitting light. The storage space S for storing the reserved light emitting substrate 144 has a front side defined by the front plate portion 113 of the reserve cover 132, an upper side defined by the upper plate portion 134, and a rear side defined by the installation plate portion 62. In such a storage space S, the most space can be secured in an oblique direction connecting the lower edge of the front plate portion 133 and the rear edge of the upper plate portion 134. In other words, the plate-like portion 142 that is the largest among the members disposed in the storage space S is faced in an oblique direction connecting the lower edge of the front plate portion 133 and the rear edge of the upper plate portion 134. By disposing the plate-like portion 142 in an inclined posture, the size of the reserved light-emitting substrate 144 that can be held in the inclined posture by the plate-like portion 142 can be increased. For example, when the reserved light emitting substrate 144 is arranged in a vertical posture parallel to the installation plate portion 62, the front and rear space necessary for the arrangement can be reduced, but the vertical space necessary for the arrangement is increased, and the reserved lens is also provided for the front and rear space. In order to secure the separation interval between the portion 139 and the reserved light emitter 146, it cannot be made so small. Similarly, when the holding light emitting substrate 144 is arranged in a horizontal posture orthogonal to the installation plate portion 62, the vertical space necessary for the arrangement can be reduced, but the front and rear space necessary for the arrangement is increased, and the vertical space is also reserved. The distance between the lens unit 139 and the reserved light emitter 146 is not so small as to be secured. That is, by arranging the holding light emitting substrate 144 in the storage space S in an inclined posture, a plurality of holding light emitters according to the condition of securing the interval between the holding lens portion 139 and the holding light emitting body 146 and the number of effective holdings. The front and rear and vertical dimensions of the holding cover 132 can be made compact while satisfying the conditions for ensuring a sufficient size of the holding light emitting substrate 144 on which mounting components such as 146 and resistors or wiring patterns can be provided.

  Since the holding display means 130 is compact in the front and rear, the stage 100 can be provided on the front side, and the front and rear width of the rolling part 103 in the stage 100 provided on the front side can be set wide. Further, by providing the holding light emitting substrate 144 in an inclined posture, the front and rear width of the holding cover 132 can be made compact as compared with the case where the holding light emitting substrate 144 is provided in a horizontal posture as described above. A space for providing the ball passage 110 between the front plate portion 113 of the reservation cover 132 can be secured. Then, by projecting into the space T between the rear wall portion 105 of the stage 100 and the front plate portion 133 of the holding cover 132 and providing the ball passage 110, the front-rear width of the rolling portion 103 can be further increased. . Thus, if the front-rear width of the rolling part 103 is widened, the movement of the pachinko ball that rolls at the rolling part 103 becomes more diverse, and the interest can be increased.

  By fitting the fitting portion 140 having the retaining lens portion 139 formed at the tip into the cylindrical holding portion 138 of the retaining cover 132, the retaining lens portion 139 is displaced in a direction intersecting the front and back direction of the retaining cover 132. Be regulated. Further, when the plate-like portion 142 is brought into contact with the extending end of the cylindrical holding portion 138 of the reservation cover 132, the movement of the reservation lens portion 139 to the front side of the reservation cover 132 is restricted, and the reservation lens portion 139 is opened. Positioned relative to 132a. As described above, the retaining lens portion 139 is attached to the retaining cover 132 by the fitting of the cylindrical holding portion 138 and the fitting portion 140 and the contact between the extended end of the cylindrical holding portion 138 and the plate-like portion 142. It can be positioned properly. Then, by attaching the holding light emitting substrate 144 to the plate-like portion 142, the holding light emitting body 146 is opposed to the corresponding holding lens section 139, and the holding lens section 139 and the holding light emitting body 146 are separated at a predetermined interval. The holding lens unit 139 and the holding light emitter 146 can be appropriately positioned. Further, since the holding light emitter 146 is installed so as to fit into the rear opening 140a of the fitting portion 140, the opaque light emitting body 146 and the holding lens portion 139 are surrounded by an opaque cylindrical holding portion 138 surrounding the fitting portion 140. Can be partitioned, so that the individual holding lens portions 139 can be brightened.
