  Further, a guide channel 51 through which a game ball can pass is formed between the general winning ports 20A to 20C and the curved guide portion 12G. The guide channel 51 communicates with the out port 16 via a privileged lower part R2 described later. Thereby, the game ball that has fallen from the drop opening 40 </ b> A and has not been able to enter the second upper gap 44 is guided to the out port 16 by the guide channel 51.

  Here, the intermediate general prize opening 20B is arranged adjacent to the upper left of the right general prize opening 20A, and between the right end of the intermediate general prize opening 20B and the lower side nail 40, the intermediate general prize opening 20B. An entry restriction nail 43K that restricts a game ball that has entered the second upper gap 44 above 20B from entering the first upper gap 43 ("first entry restriction part" and "second entry restriction part" of the present invention). Is provided). Thereby, the game ball can enter the first upper gap 43 only from the right side, that is, the out port 16 side, and the second upper gap 44B can be played from the left side, that is, the side away from the out port 16. The ball cannot enter.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, in order to allow a game ball to enter the first upper gap 43, the following configuration is adopted. That is, an upper drop opening 41A for dropping a game ball downward is formed in the upper right side nail 41 on the right side and the upper side of the right general winning opening 20A. Then, the game ball rolling on the lower side nail 40 collides with the game ball falling from the upper drop port 41A and bounces back to the left side, so that the game ball enters the first upper gap 43. This is possible (see FIG. 5B). Further, a rebound nail 42 is provided diagonally right above the lower end position of the lower side nail 40 and below the upper side nail 41. Then, the game ball that has rolled on the lower road nail 40 bounces up on the lower road nail 40, collides with the rebound nail 42, and bounces back to the left, so that the game ball to the first upper gap 43 is The approach is possible (see FIG. 5A).

  Thus, in this embodiment, since the game ball guided to the lower side nail 40 can be awarded to the three general winning openings 20A to 20C, it is possible to improve the game preference. Become. In the present embodiment, the right general winning opening 20A is the “first winning opening” of the present invention, the intermediate general winning opening 20B and the left general winning opening 20C are the “second winning opening” of the present invention, The start winning opening 14A corresponds to the “third winning opening” of the present invention, and the nail guide 39 and the lower nail 40 constitute the inclination guiding portion 45 according to the present invention. Further, the upper road nail 41 corresponds to the “straight slope portion” of the present invention, and the rebound nail 42 corresponds to the “rebound portion” of the present invention. The upper road nail 41 and the rebound nail 42 are the upper inclination guide according to the present invention. Part 46 is configured.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 3, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a privilege-less downstream part R2 in which no winning opening is provided is formed between the right general winning opening 20A and the out opening 16. ing. Specifically, the non-privilege flow lower part R2 is below the extension line L1 of the inclination guiding part 45 (lower side nail 40) in the game area R1, and in the lateral direction, the right general winning port 20A and the out port 16 It is formed in the part pinched by.

  Here, all the game balls flowing down the non-privileged downstream R2 are only accepted and discharged by the out port 16, and therefore the obstacle nail 17 (see FIG. 1) is driven into the non-privileged downstream R2. Absent. In the present embodiment, the non-privileged flow lower portion R2 having neither a winning opening nor the obstacle nail 17 is a resin decorative plate 50 laid on the front surface of the game board 11 (corresponding to the “decorating portion” of the present invention). .)), The decoration in the game area R1 is improved.

  Moreover, as described above, the right general winning opening 20A has a first upper gap 43 that is open upward and allows a game ball to enter between the lower side nail 40 (inclination guiding portion 45), A game ball can enter the first upper gap 43 only from the out port 16 side. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, when it is possible to enter the first upper gap 43 from the side opposite to the out port 16, the fall that causes the game ball guided to the lower side nail 40 to fall downward The flow path 43 </ b> A needs to be provided on the left side of the first upper gap 43 in the lower side nail 40. Therefore, in the configuration shown in FIG. 6, the right general prize-winning port 20A is arranged on the out-out port 16 side by the width of the drop channel 43A, and there arises a problem that the no-privilege downstream R2 is narrowed. On the other hand, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to take a part of the non-privileged downstream R2 with a part of the non-privileged downstream R2 as a falling flow path. As a result, the decoration plate 50 can be enlarged, and the decoration in the game area R1 can be improved.

  The decorative plate 50 may be formed of an opaque resin, or may be formed of a transparent resin or a translucent resin. Specifically, when the decorative plate 50 is formed of an opaque resin, it may be decorated with the color of the main body of the decorative plate 50, or may be decorated with a pattern with unevenness. When the decorative plate 50 is formed of a transparent resin or a translucent resin, it may be decorated with the color or irregularities of the decorative plate 50 itself as described above, or a decorative member such as a lamp disposed behind the decorative plate 50 may be used. You may make it visually recognize through the decoration plate 50. FIG. In the present embodiment, the decorative plate 50 is made of resin, but may be made of wood or the like. In the present embodiment, the entire “decoration part” of the present invention is configured by the decoration plate 50, but a part of the “decoration part” may be configured by the decoration plate 50. In the present embodiment, the decoration plate 50 is attached to the game board 11, but the game board 11 itself may be decorated. Specifically, the wooden or resin game board 11 may be decorated by, for example, attaching a print or a seal. In the case where the game board 11 is made of a transparent resin, a decorative member such as a game device such as a decorative object or a driving object disposed on the back side may be visually recognized.

  Further, the non-privilege downstream R2 does not have the obstacle nail 17, and thus can prevent the right general winning opening 20A due to cheating (hereinafter referred to as “illegal prize” as appropriate). In this fraudulent act, the game ball is dammed before the out port 16 by closing the out port 16 with a tape or fixing the game ball with a magnet (see FIG. 7). Then, the game balls flowing down to the out port 16 are stacked, and the stacked game balls are used as scaffolding to illegally win the game balls to the right general winning port 20A. Here, in the configuration in which the obstacle nail 17 is provided on the extension line L1 of the lower side nail 40 as in the example shown in FIG. 8B, a game ball is provided between the obstacle nail 17 and the right general winning opening 20A. The game balls piled up by cheating are less likely to collapse, and cheating to the right general winning opening 20A is likely to occur. On the other hand, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 (A), the obstacle-free lower part R2 is not provided with the obstacle nail 17, so it is compared with the example of FIG. 8 (B). As a result, the game balls piled up by cheating are likely to collapse, making it difficult for an illegal winning to the right general winning opening 20A to occur.

  In addition, it has a configuration having second upper gaps 44B and 44C of the intermediate general winning opening 20B and the left general winning opening 20C, and a game ball can enter only into the second upper gap from the side opposite to the out opening 16. It has become. Therefore, in the case where the above-mentioned cheating is performed, in order to illegally win the game ball to the intermediate general winning opening 20B and the left general winning opening 20C, the game is played up to the opposite side to the out opening 16 of each general winning opening 20B, 20C. The balls need to be stacked. Thereby, it is possible to save time until the game media are stacked so as to be able to enter the second upper gap 44, and to prevent illegal winning in the intermediate general winning opening 20B and the left general winning opening 20C.

  By the way, as described above, the guide channel 51 through which the game ball can pass is formed between the general winning ports 20A to 20C and the curved guide portion 12G (guide rail 12) (see FIG. 3). The game balls flowing down the guide channel 51 cannot be won in any winning port and are only discharged through the out port 16. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the obstacle nail 17 for the guide channel 51 as in the case of the privileged lower part R2. In the present embodiment, the decorative plate 50 extends to the inside of the guide channel 51, thereby further improving the decorativeness in the game area R1.

  Specifically, the decorative plate 50 projects to the lower side of the three general winning ports 20A to 20C, and the general winning ports 20A to 20C are integrally formed on the decorative plate 50. Here, the decorative plate 50 is laid on the front surface of the game board 11 as described above. Therefore, in the gaming machine 10, the general winning ports 20 </ b> A to 20 </ b> C can be disposed in the game area R <b> 1 simply by laying the decorative plate 50 on the front surface of the game board 11.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the right end portion of the lower side nail 40 (inclination guide portion 45) is disposed below the intermediate portion in the lateral direction of the upper side nail 41. The necessity of providing the obstacle nail 17 in the belt-like region R3 sandwiched between the line L1 and the upper road nail 41 is low. And in this embodiment, the decoration property in the game area | region R1 is further improved by projecting the decoration plate 50 to the strip | belt-shaped area | region R3 located above the non-privilege flow-down area R2.

  Thus, according to the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is below the extension line L1 of the inclination guide portion 45 (lower side nail 40), and in the lateral direction, to the right general winning port 20A and the out port 16 The privileged flow part R2 that does not have the winning opening and the obstacle nail 17 is provided in the sandwiched portion, and the privilegeless flow part R2 is constituted by a resin decorative plate 50. In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, there is no need to change the course of the game ball flowing down, and the non-privilege downstream R2 is not provided with the obstacle nail 17, and the non-privilege downstream R2 is configured with a resin decorative plate 50. Therefore, compared with the conventional gaming machine described above, it is possible to improve the decorativeness in the game area R1. This is particularly effective in the case of a wooden game board 11.

  In addition, the decorative plate 50 is placed up to the belt-like region R3 sandwiched between the extension line 11 of the lower side nail 40 (guide inclined portion 45) and the upper road nail 41 (upper guide inclined portion 46), which does not require the obstacle nail 17 to be provided. Since it is overhanging, it is possible to increase the area of the decoration plate 50 and further improve the decoration in the game area R1. Furthermore, the decoration plate 50 is extended to the guide channel 51 that guides the game ball that has fallen from the drop port 40A formed in the lower side nail 40 to the out port 16, so the decoration in the game area R1 It becomes possible to further improve the property and to decorate the guide channel 51.
