In the game area 30a of the game board 30, a large number of nails are planted in order to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game ball, and various members (functions) such as a windmill 37 are arranged. Yes.

  The variable display device unit 35 includes a first symbol display device 40 that variably displays a first symbol (for example, a special symbol) as identification information with a winning at the first starting port 33a and the second starting port 33b as a trigger. Using the passage of the third start port 34 as a trigger, the second symbol display device 41 that variably displays the second symbol (for example, the normal symbol), and the first start port 33a and the second start port 33b are awarded. As a trigger, a third symbol display device 42 that variably displays a third symbol (for example, a decorative symbol) is provided.

  The first symbol display device 40 includes, for example, a plurality of (two in the present embodiment) two-color light emitting type LEDs (light emitting diodes) 40a that emit variable light emission or the like based on the ball entering the first start port 33a. 40b, a hold display portion 40c displayed on the screen of the third symbol display device 42, which indicates the number of hold of the variable display by the LEDs 40a, 40b, and a variable light emission based on the ball entering the second start port 33b A plurality of (two in this embodiment) two-color light emitting type LEDs (light emitting diodes) 40d, 40e and the number of variable display suspensions on the LEDs 40d, 40e are displayed on the third symbol display device 42 as a screen display. The hold display unit 40f is provided.

  For example, the LEDs 40a and 40b that perform variable light emission based on entering the first start port 33a can emit red and blue light. The first symbol display device 40 generates a variable display state of the first symbol (in this embodiment, the emission color mode of each LED 40a, 40b) by alternately changing the emission color of each LED 40a, 40b, for example, When both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a red light emitting state, a probable big hit (specific hit) is indicated, and when both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a blue light emitting state, a normal big hit (non-specific hit) is indicated, and both LEDs 40a and 40b When it stops in the light emission state of a different color, it will show off.

  Similarly to the above, the LEDs 40d and 40e that emit light in a variable manner based on the ball entering the second start port 33b can emit light in red and blue, for example. The first symbol display device 40 generates a variable display state of the first symbol (in this embodiment, the emission color mode of each LED 40d, 40e) by alternately changing the emission color of each LED 40d, 40e, for example, When both LEDs 40d and 40e stop in a red light emitting state, a promiscuous big hit (specific hit) is indicated. When both LEDs 40d and 40e stop in a blue light emitting state, a normal big hit (non-specific hit) is indicated, and both LEDs 40d and 40e are mutually connected. When it stops in the light emission state of a different color, it will show off.

  In addition, as this 1st symbol display apparatus 40, you may employ | adopt the single LED of the type which can light-emit at least 3 colors or more, and by performing light emission of each color alternately, the 1st symbol is displayed. When the LED stops in the light emission state of the first color, it shows a probable big hit (specific hit), and when the LED stops in the light emission state of the second color, it usually shows a big hit (non-specific hit) When the LED stops in the light emission state of the third color, it may be indicated that the LED has come off. The first symbol display device 40 described above corresponds to the identification information fluctuation display means in the present invention.

  The second symbol display device 41 includes, for example, a display unit 41a on which “○” is drawn for the second symbol, a display unit 41b on which “x” is drawn for the second symbol, and the third symbol display. Each time the game ball passes through the third starting port 34, the display symbols (ordinary symbols) displayed by the display units 41a and 41b fluctuate. When the engine stops at a predetermined symbol, the second start port 33b on the lower side is configured to be activated (opened) for a predetermined time. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the third start opening 34 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times of holding is displayed on the hold display portion 41c. The display units 41a and 41b have LEDs (light emitting diodes) inside thereof, and are configured to be variably displayed by switching the light emission of the LEDs (or lighting of the lamps). The second symbol display device 41 described above corresponds to the normal identification information fluctuation display means in the present invention.

  The 3rd symbol display apparatus 42 is comprised, for example with the liquid crystal display device, and the display content is controlled by the display control apparatus 45 mentioned later. On the third symbol display device 42, for example, three decorative symbol rows (not shown) of left, middle and right are displayed. Each decorative symbol sequence (not shown) is composed of a plurality of decorative symbols, and these decorative symbols are variably displayed on the third symbol display device 42 so as to be scrolled for each decorative symbol sequence (not shown). In the present embodiment, the third symbol display device 42 (liquid crystal display device) includes, for example, a large liquid crystal display of 11 inch size. The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 on the front side of the third symbol display device 42 so as to substantially surround the display screen of the third symbol display device 42 when viewed from the front. In this embodiment, an LCD is employed as the third symbol display device 42, but other types of image display devices (for example, PDP: plasma display panel, EL: electroluminescence display, organic EL, etc.) may be used. . The above-described third symbol display device 42 corresponds to decoration identification information (design) variation display means in the present invention, and the above-described display control device 45 corresponds to display control means in the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the variable prize-winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which a game ball cannot win or is difficult to win, and repeatedly operates between an open state in which a game ball is easily won in a big hit and a normal closed state. It is what is done. In this way, the state in which the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly operated in the open state and the normal closed state at the time of a big win is called a specific gaming state (for example, a big winning state), and the variable winning device 32 has a large number of games. Since the ball enters (wins) and a lot of game balls are paid out for the winning, the game state is advantageous to the player. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of game balls thrown in (the number of game balls launched into the game area 30a by the game ball launching device 38) is the number of game ball award balls paid out (general winning port 31). , The number of prize balls paid out based on the number of game balls entered into the variable prize device 32, the start prize device 33, the third start port 34, etc.) and the prize of the game balls It is possible to change the state to a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit state) in which the number of balls paid out is larger than the number of game balls inserted.

  More specifically, when a game ball wins the first start port 33a, the two LEDs 40a and 40b of the first symbol display device 40 are displayed in a variable manner, and the display of the LEDs 40a and 40b after the change is stopped is a preset light emission. A specific gaming state occurs when a combination of modes is obtained. For example, in the case of a light emitting mode in which both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in a red light emitting state, it indicates that a specific gaming state with a probable big hit (specific hit) is won, and both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in a blue light emitting state. In the case of the light-emission mode, it indicates that the player has won the special game state of normal big hit (non-specific hit), and in the case of the light-emission mode that both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in the light-emission state of different colors (You have lost the game).

  Similarly to the above, when the game ball wins the second start opening 33b, the two LEDs 40d, 40e of the first symbol display device 40 are displayed in a variable manner, and the display of the LEDs 40d, 40e after the change stop is preset. A specific gaming state occurs when a combination of light emission modes is obtained. For example, in the case of a light emitting mode in which both LEDs 40d and 40e are stopped in a red light emitting state, it indicates that a specific gaming state with a probable big hit (specific hit) is won, and both LEDs 40d and 40e are stopped in a blue light emitting state. In the case of the light emission mode, it indicates that the player has won the specific game state of the normal big hit (non-specific hit), and in the case of the light emission mode in which both LEDs 40d and 40e are stopped in the light emission states of different colors (You have lost the game).

  The variable winning device 32 is configured such that the large winning opening 32a is in a predetermined open state, and the game ball is likely to win (a big hit state). Specifically, the special winning opening 32a of the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times (the number of rounds) with the passage of a predetermined time or a predetermined number of winnings in the open state as one round. In addition, the number of times that the game ball has passed through the first start port 33a is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times of holding is displayed on the hold display section 40c. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the second start port 33b is also held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times of holding is displayed on the hold display section 40f. The hold display units 40c and 40f display a hold on a part of the display screen of the third symbol display device 42. However, the hold display units 40c and 40f may be lit using a hold lamp or the like.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of rails 51 and 52 are attached to the game board 30 for guiding the game balls launched from the game ball launching device 38 (see FIG. 3) to the upper part of the game board 30. Thus, the game balls launched in accordance with the turning operation of the game ball launching handle 18 are guided to a predetermined game area 30a through a ball guide passage 49 (to be described later) of the plurality of rails 51 and 52. The plurality of rails 51 and 52 are long metal strip members made of stainless steel, and are attached to the game board 30 in an inner and outer double. The inner rail 51 is formed in a substantially vertical elliptical shape except for about 1/4 of the upper side. The outer rail 52 is formed so that a part (mainly the left side) faces the inner rail 51. In such a case, a guide rail is constituted by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52, and a ball guide passage 49 is formed by a portion (the left portion toward the left) where the rails 51 and 52 are parallel to each other at a predetermined interval. . The ball guide passage 49 is formed in a groove shape having a contact surface with the game board 30, that is, a groove shape in which the front side is opened.

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to a tip portion of the inner rail 51 (upper left portion in FIG. 4). This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the ball guide passage 49 between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 to the upper portion of the game board 30 returns to the ball guide passage 49 again. Further, in a state where the game board 30 is attached to the inner frame 12, a position corresponding to the maximum flight portion of the game ball on the outer rail 52 (upper right portion in FIG. 4: a portion corresponding to the tip portion of the outer rail 52). Is located on the return rubber 54 provided on the inner frame 12 (a member indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 4). Therefore, the game ball fired at a predetermined momentum or more hits the return rubber 54 and is bounced back. Since the outer rail 52 is made of a long metal strip made of stainless steel, the flight of the game ball can be made smoother, that is, the frictional resistance of the game ball can be reduced. In addition, as shown with a broken line in FIG. 4, the wall part 60 (shown with a broken line in FIG. 4) formed in the inner frame 12 is located from the front-end | tip part of the outer rail 52 to the right-side front-end | tip part of the inner rail 51. Thus, the game area 30a is partitioned.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the lower right corner of the game board 30 is pasted with a certificate sticker S1 on which a certificate production number (for example, consisting of a manufacturer symbol of a gaming machine and a series of serial numbers) is written. It is used as a space for providing the attached certificate stamp part 70. By fixing the certificate part 70 with the certificate sticker S1 attached to the lower right corner of the game board 30, the game board 30 and the certificate can be uniquely defined.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner frame 12 is provided with a certificate paper opening 71 in which a certificate component 70 of the game board 30 is inserted in a state where the game board 30 is attached to the back side thereof.

  Next, the game area 30a of the game board 30 will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the game area 30 a is partitioned and formed into a substantially vertically long circular shape by inner peripheral portions (inner and outer rails) of the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52. In particular, in the present embodiment, the game board 30 The game area 30a partitioned on the board surface is greatly configured.

  In the present embodiment, the game area 30a is viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10, and the area of the guide rail that is a parallel part of the inner and outer rails 51 and 52 is excluded from the area surrounded by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52. As an area. Accordingly, when the game area 30 a is referred to, the guide rail portion is not included, and therefore the left limit position toward the game area 30 a is specified by the inner rail 51, not by the outer rail 52. Similarly, the right limit position toward the game area 30 a is specified by the inner rail 51. Further, the lower limit position of the game area 30 a is specified by the lower end position of the game board 30. The upper limit position of the game area 30 a is specified by the outer rail 52.

It corresponds to the part.

  Here, when the inner frame 12 is closed, the game ball B located at a location other than the left end on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 is allowed (entered) into the game ball allowable space 350 of the entry preventing wall part 340. Will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, when the inner frame 12 is opened or closed, the game ball B falls on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 from the inner frame 12 or the like, and the game ball B exists on the top plate portion 330 at a place other than the left end. There are things to do.

  When the inner frame 12 is closed in a state where the game ball B is present at a location other than the left end on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310, the inner frame 12 is positioned at a location other than the left end on the top plate portion 330 by the inner frame 12. The game ball B to be pushed is pushed toward the entry preventing wall part 340.

  At this time, the game ball B located at a location other than the left end on the top plate portion 330 rises on the inclined surface 331 of the top plate portion 330 by the back-up by the inner frame 12, and FIGS. 5, 12, and 13. As shown in FIG. 5, the game ball enters the allowed game ball space 350 or approaches the game ball allowed space 350.

  Subsequently, when the inner frame 12 is completely closed with respect to the outer frame 11, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the game is located at a place other than the left end on the top plate portion 330 pushed by the inner frame 12. The ball B is maintained in a state where it finally enters the game ball allowable space 350.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (b), the game ball B allowed in the game ball allowable space 350 is movable in the depth direction, so that it is not sandwiched between the inner frame 12 and the entry prevention wall part 340. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, a metal member 12b that reinforces the inner frame 12 and is grounded is provided at a position facing the intrusion prevention wall part 340 in the lower part on the back side of the inner frame 12. ing. Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, the game ball B allowed in the game ball allowable space 350 is located on the inclined surface 331. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened, the inclined surface 331 is moved. It goes down and is discharged from the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310.

  Note that, as shown in FIG. 13B, the game ball B placed in the game ball allowable space 350 is in contact with the metal member 12b of the inner frame 12, and the charged charge of the game ball B is transferred to the metal member. It can be discharged through 12b.

  Next, when the inner frame 12 is closed, the fact that the game ball B located at the left end position on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 rides on the entry preventing wall part 340 will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, when the inner frame 12 is opened or closed, the game ball B falls from the inner frame 12 or the like onto the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310, and the game ball B exists at the left end portion on the top plate portion 330. There is.

  Then, when the inner frame 12 is closed in a state where the game ball B exists at the left end portion on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310, the top plate portion 330 is caused by the inner frame 12 as shown in FIG. The game ball B positioned at the left end portion is pushed up and brought toward the entry preventing wall part 340.

  At this time, the game ball B located at the left end portion on the top plate portion 330 rises up the upward guiding inclined surface 333 of the top plate portion 330 by the back-up by the inner frame 12, as shown in FIG. 16 (b). In addition, it climbs over the upper surface of the entry preventing wall part 340 or proceeds in the direction of the arrow in FIG.

  Subsequently, when the inner frame 12 is completely closed with respect to the outer frame 11, the game ball B located at the left end on the top plate portion 330 pushed back by the inner frame 12 is as shown in FIG. Riding on the upper surface of the ingress prevention wall part 340 and maintained in contact with the metal member 12b on the lower back side of the inner frame 12, or overcoming the ingress prevention wall part 340 as indicated by an arrow in FIG. Or

  As shown in FIG. 16 (b), the game ball B riding on the upper surface of the ingress prevention wall part 340 can move in the depth direction as long as the front side thereof abuts against the metal member 12b of the inner frame 12. It is not in a state of being sandwiched between the frame 12 and the entry preventing wall part 340.

  In addition, the game ball B riding on the upper surface of the entry preventing wall part 340 is located on the upper inclined surface 343 as shown in FIG. 16 (b). It goes down the surface 343 and is discharged from the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the outer frame 11 that forms the outer shell of the pachinko machine 10 and is fixed to the game island of the game hall, and the bottom plate material 11b of the outer frame 11 And the inner frame 12 that can be opened and closed with respect to the outer frame 11 on the curtain plate 310. The curtain plate 310 is a part of the inner frame 12 in the closed state. The portion extending in the width direction and the upward direction at a position facing the top plate portion 330 positioned above the inner frame 12 in the closing direction side and facing the lower portion of the back surface of the closed inner frame 12 The prevention wall part 340 includes a prevention ball part 340. The entry prevention wall part 340 includes a game ball allowable space 350 into which the game ball B on the top plate part 330 of the curtain plate 310 enters when the inner frame 12 is closed.

  Therefore, even if the inner frame 12 is closed in a state where the game ball B exists on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310, the game ball B enters the game ball allowable space 350. The ball B is not sandwiched between the inner frame 12 and the entry preventing wall part 340, and damage to the inner frame 12 or the entry preventing wall part 340 due to the sandwiching of the game ball B can be reduced. In addition, even if an attempt is made to insert a fraudulent tool through the gap between the inner frame 12 and the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310, the entry prevention wall part 340 can block the entry, and the gap between the inner frame 12 and the curtain plate 310 is It is possible to reduce the entry of illegal tools from

  Further, in a state where the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11, a rigid rod-like member is inserted between the inner frame 12 and the curtain plate 310, and the inner frame 12 is illegally lifted by the lever principle or the like. Although there is a concern about fraudulent acts that allow unauthorized tools to enter the gap, since the inner frame 12 is closed by the outer frame 11, the lifting height of the inner frame 12 is, for example, about a few millimeters. On the other hand, since the game ball allowable space 350 of the entry prevention wall part 340 is large enough to contain the game ball B, the height of the entry prevention wall part 340 is at least the diameter of the game ball B (for example, 11 mm). If the inner frame 12 is illegally lifted and an unauthorized tool is inserted through the gap between the inner frame 12 and the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310, the intrusion prevention wall component 340 can enter the The inner frame 12 and It can be reduced entry of unauthorized device from a gap between the plate 310.

  As a result, it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 10 that can reduce the intrusion of unauthorized tools from the gap between the inner frame 12 and the curtain plate 310 and reduce the damage caused by the game ball B being caught. Further, it is conceivable to increase the dimensional accuracy between the inner frame 12 and the outer frame 11 so that a gap does not occur between the inner frame 12 and the outer frame 11 even if an illegal act is performed. If any distortion occurs, the opening and closing of the inner frame 12 will be hindered. On the other hand, according to the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, since it is possible to prevent fraud even if the inner frame 12 and the outer frame 11 have a margin, there is no need to increase the dimensional accuracy more than necessary. High cost due to improvement can be reduced.

  In addition, the inclined surface 331 at the position of the gaming ball allowable space 350 in the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 is inclined downward toward the front side of the pachinko machine 10, so that it enters the gaming ball allowable space 350. When the inner frame 12 is opened, the game ball B is automatically discharged to the front side of the pachinko machine 10 by the inclined surface 331, so that the accumulation of the game ball B in the game ball allowable space 350 can be eliminated.

  Further, the ingress prevention wall part 340 is provided on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 erected with a depth interval of at least one game ball B with respect to the lower portion of the back surface of the closed inner frame 12. A back wall portion 341 extending in the width direction, and a top plate portion 330 protruding from the back wall portion 341 in a non-contact manner toward the inner frame 12 toward the front direction of the pachinko machine 10 (opening direction in the opening / closing direction). On the other hand, a protruding upper plate 342 having a height interval corresponding to at least one gaming ball B is provided, and the gaming ball allowable space 350 includes a back wall portion 341, a protruding upper plate 342, and a top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310. It is a space surrounded by. Therefore, even if the inner frame 12 is closed vigorously, the game ball B on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 can be headed by the protruding upper plate 342 and stopped in the game ball allowable space 350. That is, the game ball B on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 does not jump over the entry preventing wall part 340 and can enter the game ball allowable space 350. Further, since the protruding upper plate 342 is directed to the inner frame 12 at the upper part of the back wall portion 341, it is difficult to allow unauthorized tools to enter between the tip of the protruding upper plate 342 and the inner frame 12. Further, it is possible to further reduce the intrusion of unauthorized tools from the gap between the inner frame 12 and the curtain plate 310.

  Further, a plurality of (two in this embodiment) partition walls 332 partition the game ball allowable space 350 and connect the projecting upper plate 342 and the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 to prevent entry. The wall parts 340 are provided at a predetermined interval in the width direction. Accordingly, the protruding upper plate 342 and the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 are connected by a plurality (two) of partition walls 332, so that a large force is applied to the entry prevention wall component 340 to thereby apply the entry prevention wall. It is possible to reduce the bending of the component 340 to create an illegal gap.

  In addition, since the partition wall 332 is tapered on the front side, which is the side facing the inner frame 12, even if the game ball B on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 is located on the partition wall 332. The game balls B can be distributed to the left and right at the tapered portion, and the game balls B can be reduced from being sandwiched between the partition wall 332 and the inner frame 12.

  In addition, an outer frame 11 that forms an outer shell of the pachinko machine 10 and is fixed to a game island of the game hall, a curtain plate 310 provided across the width direction on the bottom plate material 11b of the outer frame 11, and the curtain An inner frame 12 that can be opened and closed with respect to the outer frame 11 on the plate 310, and the curtain plate 310 has an inner frame with respect to the top plate portion 330 in which a part of the closed inner frame 12 is positioned above. 12 is provided with an entry preventing wall part 340 extending in the width direction and the upward direction at a position facing the lower part of the back surface of the closed inner frame 12 on the closed direction side of the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310.

Since the leading edge of the illegal tool hits at a height position on the upper side of the intrusion prevention wall part 340, the intrusion prevention wall part 340 can prevent the entry, and the inner frame 12 and the curtain plate 310 can be prevented. It is possible to reduce the intrusion of illegal equipment from the gap.

  Further, in a state where the inner frame 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11, a rigid rod-like member is inserted between the inner frame 12 and the curtain plate 310, and the inner frame 12 is illegally lifted by the lever principle or the like. Although there is a concern about fraudulent acts that allow unauthorized tools to enter the gap, since the inner frame 12 is closed by the outer frame 11, the lifting height of the inner frame 12 is, for example, about a few millimeters. On the other hand, by providing an upward guiding inclined surface 333 on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310, the height of the entry preventing wall part 340 can be set to the diameter of the game ball B (for example, 11 mm). Even if the inner frame 12 is illegally lifted and an attempt is made to insert a fraudulent tool through the gap between the inner frame 12 and the curtain plate 310, the upper side of the entry preventing wall part 340 can prevent the entry, Reduces the intrusion of unauthorized tools from the gap with the curtain 310 That.

  As a result, it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 10 that can reduce the intrusion of unauthorized tools from the gap between the inner frame 12 and the curtain plate 310 and reduce the damage caused by the game ball B being caught. Further, it is conceivable to increase the dimensional accuracy between the inner frame 12 and the outer frame 11 so that a gap does not occur between the inner frame 12 and the outer frame 11 even if an illegal act is performed. If any distortion occurs, the opening and closing of the inner frame 12 will be hindered. On the other hand, according to the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, since it is possible to prevent fraud even if the inner frame 12 and the outer frame 11 have a margin, there is no need to increase the dimensional accuracy more than necessary. High cost due to improvement can be reduced.

  Further, the ingress prevention wall part 340 is provided with an upper inclined surface 343 that is inclined downward toward the front surface side of the pachinko machine 10 at a location near the upward guiding inclined surface 333 on the upper surface thereof.

As shown in FIG. 26 (c), it climbs over the upper surface of the entry preventing wall part 340 or proceeds in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 26 (c) with its momentum to get over the entry preventing wall part 340.

  Subsequently, when the inner frame 12 is completely closed with respect to the outer frame 11, the game ball B located at the left end portion on the top plate portion 330 pushed back by the inner frame 12 is as shown in FIG. It climbs over the upper surface of the entry prevention wall part 340 and is maintained in contact with the lower part of the back side of the inner frame 12, or it climbs over the entry prevention wall part 340 as indicated by an arrow in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (c), the game ball B riding on the upper surface of the ingress prevention wall part 340 can move in the depth direction as long as its front side comes into contact with the lower part on the back side of the inner frame 12. It is not in a state of being sandwiched between the frame 12 and the entry preventing wall part 340.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 26 (c), the game ball B riding on the upper surface of the entry preventing wall part 340 is located on the upper inclined surface 343. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened, the upper inclined surface is formed. It goes down the surface 343 and is discharged from the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the fourth embodiment, the outer frame 11 that forms the outer shell of the pachinko machine 10 and is fixed to the game island of the game hall (hole), and the bottom of the outer frame 11 And the inner frame 12 that can be opened and closed with respect to the outer frame 11 on the curtain plate 310. The curtain plate 310 is a part of the inner frame 12 in the closed state.

There is a concern about illegal acts that illegally lift the inner frame 12 and allow unauthorized tools to enter the gap. However, since the inner frame 12 is closed by the outer frame 11, the lifting height of the inner frame 12 is maximum. However, since the game ball B on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 is guided up by the inclined rib 335, the height of the entry preventing wall part 340 is at least The radius of the game ball B (for example, 6 mm) can be set, and as shown in FIG. 32 (d), the inner frame 12 is lifted illegally, and the inner frame 12 and the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 are Even if an attempt is made to insert a fraudulent tool T from the gap, a plurality of allowances for the inner frame 12 Since the occlusal state between the notch 380 and the plurality of inclined ribs 335 of the curtain plate 310 is maintained, the intrusion of the unauthorized tool T can be prevented by the occlusion, and the gap between the inner frame 12 and the curtain plate 310 can be prevented. It is possible to reduce the entry of the illegal tool T. As a result, it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 10 that can reduce the intrusion of the unauthorized tool T from the gap between the inner frame 12 (for example, the movable frame) and the curtain plate 310 and can reduce damage due to the game ball B being caught.

  Further, since the plurality of inclined ribs 335 are arranged side by side with an interval equal to or less than the diameter of the game ball B, when the inner frame 12 is closed, the game ball B on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 is Without entering between the adjacent inclined ribs 335, the inclined ribs 335 can reliably guide the climbing to climb onto the entry preventing wall part 340, and the game ball B enters the inner frame 12 when the inner frame 12 is closed. It is possible to reduce damage to the inner frame 12 or the entry prevention wall part 340 due to the game ball B being caught without being caught between the prevention wall part 340.

  Further, since the inclined rib 335 is an inclined inclined rib 335 that is inclined downward toward the inner frame 12, the game ball B on the top plate portion 330 of the curtain plate 310 is inclined when the inner frame 12 is closed. The rib 335 can guide the climb up so as to ride on the entry prevention wall part 340, and the game ball B is not sandwiched between the inner frame 12 and the entry prevention wall part 340 when the inner frame 12 is closed. It is possible to reduce the damage of the inner frame 12 or the entry preventing wall part 340 due to the pinching.

  The present specification also discloses an invention relating to the following gaming machines.

(1) In a gaming machine that provides a game to a player,
A mounted part having a first member provided across the width direction;
A second member that can be opened and closed with respect to the mounted component on the first member of the mounted component;
With
The first member is located on the side of the second member in the closing direction with respect to the top surface portion where a part of the second member in the closed state is positioned above, and a lower portion of the back surface of the second member in the closed state. In the facing position, it has an entry preventing part extending in the width direction and upward direction,
At least one of the entry preventing portion or the second member includes a game ball allowable space portion into which a game ball on the top surface portion of the first member enters when the second member is closed. To play.

  According to the gaming machine described in (1) above, a gaming machine that provides a game to a player includes a mounted part having a first member and a second member. The first member is a part to be attached and is provided across the width direction. The second member can be opened and closed with respect to the mounted component on the first member of the mounted component. The first member includes an entry preventing portion on the top surface portion. In other words, the intrusion prevention unit is opposite to the lower portion of the back surface of the closed second member on the closing direction side of the second member with respect to the top surface portion where a part of the closed second member is positioned above. In the position, it extends in the width direction and the upward direction, and prevents the entry of unauthorized tools. At least one game ball allowable space portion of the entry preventing portion or the second member receives a game ball on the top surface portion of the first member when the second member is closed.

  Therefore, even if the second member is closed in a state where the game ball is present on the top surface portion of the first member, the game ball enters the game ball allowable space portion. It is possible to reduce the damage of the second member or the entry preventing portion due to the sandwiching of the game balls without being caught between the two members and the entry preventing portion. Moreover, even if it is going to put a fraudulent tool from the clearance gap between the 2nd member and the top | upper surface part of a 1st member, the approach can be blocked | prevented by the approach prevention part, and the fraudulent tool from the clearance gap between a 2nd member and a 1st member Can be reduced.

  Further, in a state where the second member is closed with respect to the outer frame, a rigid rod-like member is inserted between the second member and the first member, and the second member is illegally lifted by the lever principle or the like. Although there is a concern about fraudulent acts that allow unauthorized tools to enter the gap, since the second member is closed by the outer frame, the lifting height of the second member is, for example, about a few millimeters at maximum. On the other hand, since the game ball allowable space portion of the entry prevention unit is large enough to contain a game ball, the height of the entry prevention unit can be at least larger than the diameter of the game ball (for example, 11 mm). Even if the second member is lifted illegally and an attempt is made to insert a fraudulent tool through the gap between the second member and the top surface of the first member, the entry preventing portion can prevent the entry, and the second member and the first member It is possible to reduce the intrusion of unauthorized tools from the gap with the member.

  As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can reduce the intrusion of unauthorized tools from the gap between the first member (for example, a curtain) and the second member (for example, a movable frame) and can reduce damage due to the pinching of game balls. it can. In addition, it is conceivable to increase the dimensional accuracy between the second member and the mounted part so that a gap is not generated between the second member and the mounted part even if an illegal act is performed. If any distortion occurs, the opening and closing of the second member will be hindered. On the other hand, according to the gaming machine according to the present invention, since it is possible to prevent fraud even if the second member and the mounted part have a margin, it is not necessary to increase the dimensional accuracy more than necessary, and the dimensional accuracy is improved. High cost can be reduced.
