[2-9. Lock mechanism for upper hinge member on outer frame side]
Next, in the outer frame 2 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a locking mechanism for the main body frame side upper hinge member 620 of the main body frame 4 by the lock member 66 in the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. The description will be given with reference. FIG. 17A is an enlarged perspective view showing a state in which the main body frame side upper hinge member of the main body frame is removed with respect to the outer frame side upper hinge member of the outer frame, and FIG. It is a perspective view which expands and shows the state by which the main body side upper hinge member is attached to the hinge member. FIG. 18 is an explanatory view showing the action of the lock member in the outer frame.

  When the lock member 66 in the outer frame 2 is attached to the front extension portion 62 of the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 (normal state), the tip of the elastic portion 66 c is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the hanging portion 65. In addition, the lock body 66a is configured to close a part of the bearing groove 63 bent in a square shape, and the distal end portion of the lock body 66a does not close the deepest part of the bearing groove 63. In the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63, a space is formed in which the body frame upper hinge pin 622 of the body frame side upper hinge member 620 of the body frame 4 can be inserted.

  The support mechanism of the body frame upper hinge pin 622 using the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 and the lock member 66 in this embodiment is such that the body frame upper hinge pin 622 is inserted into the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63 and the front end of the lock body 66a. The right side surface of the lock body 66 is in close contact with the right hanging portion 65 (in this state, there is a slight gap between the right side surface at the front end of the lock body 66a and the right hanging portion 65 so that it is in contact with the right hanging surface 65). In the normal shaft support state, the center of the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame located at the deepest portion of the bent bearing groove 63 and the front end surface of the lock main body 66a are opposed to each other in an oblique direction. It is in a state.

  In this normal shaft support state, the main body frame hinge pin 622 supporting the heavy main body frame 4 is in contact with the front end portion of the bearing groove 63. A load from 622 to the front end surface of the lock member 66 is hardly applied. That is, no load is applied to the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66. Since the front end surface of the lock body 66a is formed in an arc shape, the lock member 66 smoothly rotates when the operation portion 66b is rotated to rotate the lock member 66. Yes. In the drawing, the center of the arc of the front end surface of the lock body 66a is the center of the mounting hole 66d (the rotation center of the lock member 66).

  Therefore, when the acting force F is applied in a direction in which the hinge pin 622 on the body frame is removed along the inclination of the bearing groove 63 formed in a square shape, the acting force is applied to the arcuate front end surface of the lock body 66a. F is a component force F1 (normal direction of the arc of the front end surface of the lock main body 66a) acting on a contact portion between the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame and the arc-shaped front end surface, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame and the bearing groove 63. The component force F1 is directed to the center of the mounting hole 66d (mounting screw 67) (the rotation center of the lock member 66) when divided into the component force F2 acting on the contact portion with the inner surface of the one side. The moment of rotating the front end of the lock main body 66 a of the lock member 66 in the direction away from the right hanging portion 65 does not act, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame is connected to the front end of the lock main body 66 a of the lock member 66 and the bearing groove 63. Inside Clamped state is maintained between the.

  For this reason, even in a normal shaft support state or a state where the acting force of the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame is applied to the lock member 66, the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66 is not constantly loaded, and is integrally formed of synthetic resin. It is possible to prevent plastic deformation caused by creep of the elastic portion 66c, and to prevent the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame from coming off from the bearing groove 63 over a long period of time. Even if an excessive force is applied and the front end portion of the lock main body 66a of the lock member 66 is rotated in the direction of moving to the right, the right side surface of the front end of the lock main body 66a contacts the drooping portion 65 and beyond. Since it does not rotate, the lock member 66 is prevented from protruding outside the front extension 62.

  Even if the shape of the front end surface of the lock body 66a is not an arc, the position where the rotational moment does not occur due to the action of the component force F1 described above or the front end portion of the lock member 66 faces the outside of the front extension portion 62. By positioning the rotation center of the lock member 66 (the axis fixed by the mounting screw 67) at a position where the rotational moment to rotate is generated, a load is not applied to the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66 at all times. Even if the lock member 66 rotates, the right side surface of the front end of the lock body 66 a only abuts on the hanging portion 65, so that the lock member 66 does not protrude outside the front extension portion 62.

  When the main body frame hinge pin 622 of the main body frame side upper hinge member 620 is supported by the bearing groove 63 of the outer frame side upper hinge member 60, the main body frame is inserted into the bearing groove 63 from the open side of the bearing groove 63. The hinge pin 622 is inserted. When the hinge pin 622 on the body frame is inserted into the bearing groove 63, the hinge pin 622 on the body frame comes into contact with the right side surface of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66, and the front end of the lock body 66a is against the urging force of the elastic portion 66c. The lock member 66 rotates about the mounting screw 67 so as to move to the left. As a result, the lock main body 66 a that has closed the bearing groove 63 is retracted, the bearing groove 63 is opened, and the main body frame hinge pin 622 can be moved to the deepest portion (front end) of the bearing groove 63.

  When the body frame hinge pin 622 is moved to the deepest part of the bearing groove 63, the contact between the body frame hinge pin 622 and the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 is released, and the lock body 66a is urged by the urging force of the elastic portion 66c. The lock member 66 rotates so that the front end of the lock member moves to the right, and the lock member 66 returns to the normal state. As a result, the hinge pin 622 on the body frame is accommodated in a space in front of the front end of the lock body 66 a in the bearing groove 63, and the hinge pin 622 on the body frame is rotatable at the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63. The state is held (locked) in the state.

  When the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame is removed from the bearing groove 63, the operation portion 66b of the lock member 66 is operated to rotate the lock member 66 so that the front end of the lock main body 66a moves to the left. The lock body 66a is retracted from the bearing groove 63 against the urging force of 66c. As a result, the deepest part of the bearing groove 63 and the opening communicate with each other, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame can be removed from the bearing groove 63.

[2-10. Crime prevention mechanism and ball biting prevention mechanism at the outer frame side lower hinge member]
In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the ball engagement prevention for preventing the game ball from being sandwiched between the crime prevention mechanism and the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 at the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 of the outer frame 2. The mechanism will be described.

  When the outer frame 2 is assembled, an outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is attached to the left end portion in front view on the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50. The horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is mounted in a state of being placed near the left end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50 and the upper surface of the rear extending portion 51. The curtain plate member 50 includes a standing wall portion 54 that rises upward from the rear end of the upper surface. As a result, even if an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire enters the rear side of the main body frame 4 (pachinko machine 1) through the gap between the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 and the main body frame side lower hinge member 640. Since the tip of the unauthorized tool comes into contact with the standing wall 54 extending upward from the rear end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50, it is possible to prevent the unauthorized tool from being inserted further to the rear side. It is possible to prevent an illegal act from being performed via the outer frame side lower hinge member 70.

  Moreover, since the return part 55 extended ahead is provided in the upper end of the standing wall part 54, when the unauthorized tool contact | abutted to the standing wall part 54 bends upwards, the front-end | tip of an unauthorized tool by the return part 55 Can be folded further forward, so that unauthorized tools can be prevented from entering the rear side of the main body frame 4, and an illegal act is performed through the portion of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70. Can be surely prevented.

  By the way, when the upright wall portion 54 extending upward is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50, the game ball is placed on the outer frame side while the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2. When falling on the lower hinge member 70 (horizontal portion 71), the game ball on the horizontal portion 71 is not discharged backward from the rear end of the horizontal portion 71 due to the presence of the standing wall portion 54, so the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 There is a risk of being caught between. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the discharge hole 74 and the left discharge hole 52 through which the game ball can pass through the horizontal part 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 and the rearward extension part 51 of the curtain plate member 50. And the right discharge hole 53, the game ball on the horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 can be discharged downward from the discharge hole 74 and the like. It is possible to reduce the game ball being caught between the two.

  Therefore, when the game ball is sandwiched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4, the periphery of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is damaged, or the main body frame 4 is not closed in a normal state. It is possible to prevent a gap from being formed between the main body frame 4 and illegal acts using the gap.

The game ball is driven into the game area 5a with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 302.

  The outer peripheral surfaces of the handle 302 and the handle cover 303 are conductively plated, and the handle touch sensor 310 detects contact when the player contacts the handle 302 or the like. When the handle 302 is rotated while the handle touch sensor 310 detects a player's contact, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 307 is accepted, and the firing solenoid has a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 302. The driving of 682 is controlled, and a game ball can be shot. That is, even if the player tries to drive the game ball into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 302 by some method without touching the handle 302, the firing solenoid 682 is not driven and the game ball can be driven. I can't do it. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from playing the game by rotating the handle 302 in a different way from the original, and to reduce the load (burden) on the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. .

  Further, in the handle unit 300, when the player presses the single button 311 while rotating the handle 302, the single button operation sensor 312 detects the operation of the single button 311, and the firing control unit (illustrated) of the payout control board 951 is shown. Is omitted), the rotation drive of the firing solenoid 682 is stopped. This makes it possible to temporarily stop the playing of the game ball without returning the rotation operation of the handle 302 and to release the single button 311 before operating the single button 311 by releasing the pressing operation of the single button 311. The game ball can be driven again into the game area 5a with strength.

  Further, the handle unit 300 includes four first protrusions 302a, second protrusions 302b, third protrusions 302c, and fourth protrusions 302d on the handle 302, and the handle 302 is most rotated in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front. Thus, when the game ball is driven most strongly into the game area 5a (so-called “right-handed”), the position of the first protrusion 302a when the handle 302 is not rotated is the fourth protrusion 302d. Therefore, by changing the handle 302 with the fourth protrusion 302d as the first protrusion 302a, the player can maintain the handle 302 in the “right-handed” position in an easy state. It is possible to reduce a person's feeling of fatigue and suppress a decrease in interest in games.

The cover 326 faces outward from the lower plate opening 326d. As shown in FIGS. 28 and 45, the lower plate 322 has a quadrangular shape in which the outer peripheral shape in plan view extends to the left and right, and a trapezoid in which the front side of the quadrangle is the base and the upper side shorter than the base is disposed on the front side. Are curved so that the left and right sides of the trapezoid extending obliquely are recessed backward. The lower plate 322 is formed such that the width in the left-right direction increases in the plan view from the front to the rear.

  As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44 and the like, the lower dish main body 325 is formed in a container shape whose upper and rear sides are open. The lower dish main body 325 has a flat bottom wall portion 325a, a main body standing wall portion 325b extending upward from an outer peripheral end excluding a rear end side of the bottom wall portion 325a, and a game ball passing through the bottom wall portion 325a. A lower dish ball removal hole 322a penetrating vertically in a possible size. The outer peripheral shape of the bottom wall portion 325a is curved so that the left and right sides extending left and right, and the front side of the quadrangle and the upper side shorter than the bottom side are arranged on the front side and the left and right sides extending obliquely are recessed backward. It is formed in a shape that combines a trapezoid. The bottom wall portion 325a (the upper surface thereof) is inclined so as to become lower toward the lower dish ball removal hole 322a. The main body standing wall 325b rises upward from the bottom wall 325a at a height that is two to five times the diameter of the game ball. The lower dish ball removal hole 322a is formed at a position to the right of the center in the left-right direction of the lower dish body 325 (bottom wall portion 325a). In the lower dish main body 325, the curved portion at the front right front corner of the bottom wall portion 325a and the main body standing wall portion 325b corresponds to the escape portion 322b.

  The lower plate cover 340 is formed so as to cover approximately the upper right half of the lower plate body 325. As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, the lower plate cover 340 includes a cover upright wall portion 340a that rises upward from the upper end of the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower platen main body 325, and an approximately upper end of the cover upright wall portion 340a. A ceiling portion 340b extending horizontally. The cover standing wall portion 340a rises from a portion from a part of the front side of the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower dish main body 325 to the rear end of the right side. When the lower tray cover 340 is assembled to the tray unit 320, the rear ends of the cover standing wall portion 340a and the ceiling portion 340b are in contact with the front surface of the tray unit base 323. Further, the front end (the left end side of the front side) of the cover standing wall 340a is in contact with the right end side of the lower plate opening 326d of the plate unit cover 326. Furthermore, the left end of the ceiling part 340b is in contact with the right end of the lower dish cover part 326k of the dish unit cover 326. In the lower plate cover 340, the curved surface portion of the cover standing wall portion 340a and the portion extending obliquely between the cover standing wall portion 340a and the ceiling portion 340b on the rear side correspond to the escape portion 322b. Yes.

  The lower plate 322 is covered with a plate unit cover 326 (the production operation unit 400) from the vicinity of the left end of the front end side of the front end side that extends short to the left and right, and more than half of the production operation unit 400 in the front view. Located behind. That is, the lower plate 322 is formed such that the right half wraps around the effect operation unit 400. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 45, the lower plate 322 includes a lower plate first area A1 (a cross hatch area in FIG. 45) located behind a lower plate opening 326d of a plate unit cover 326, which will be described later, and a lower plate. Lower pan second area A2 (shaded in FIG. 45) located behind the opening 326d on the right side (the rendering operation unit 400, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a in the tray unit cover 326, and the front end side of the lower tray cover 340). Area). In other words, the lower dish 322 is more than half of the storage area that can store the game balls (corresponding to the storage area in plan view, and the lower dish first area A1 and the lower dish second area A2). It is located behind the rendering operation unit 400.

  In the lower plate 322, a lower plate ball supply port 323c that forms the rear wall is open to the right side of the center of the rear wall in the left-right direction when viewed from the front. More specifically, the lower tray ball supply port 323c of the lower tray 322 includes the rendering operation unit 400, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a (the right outside of the lower tray opening 326d) in the tray unit cover 326, and the front end of the lower tray cover 340. It arrange | positions at the lower plate | pan 2nd area | region A2 used as the back of the side. Accordingly, when the door frame 3 is viewed from the front, the lower tray ball supply port 323c is not visible from the player side through the lower tray opening 326d (see FIG. 19 and the like). Accordingly, the lower plate 322 is formed so as to bend toward the rear of the production operation unit 400 from the lower plate opening 326d on the left side surface of the plate unit 320 (the plate unit cover 326) bulging forward. The storage volume of the game ball is formed larger than the range seen from the front. In other words, the lower dish 322 is formed so that the lower dish second area A2 is larger than the lower dish first area A1. Thereby, when the lower plate 322 is viewed from the outside (player side), more game balls can be stored in the lower plate 322 than it looks.

  In the lower plate 322, the right half in the left-right direction (lower plate second region A2) of the lower plate main body 325 protrudes into the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a of the plate unit cover 326 as shown in FIG. The lower plate cover 340 covers the upper side of the portion of the lower plate main body 325 that projects into the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a. The lower plate cover 340 prevents the fingertip from touching the rear side of the production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A) when the player inserts a finger into the lower plate 322 from the lower plate opening 326d. can do.

  The lower dish 322 includes a lower dish ball removal hole 322a penetrating vertically in front of the lower dish ball supply port 323c in the lower dish second region A2. The bottom surface of the lower dish 322 is inclined so as to become lower toward the lower dish ball removal hole 322a. The lower dish ball removal hole 322a of the lower dish 322 is closed so as to be opened and closed by a lid member 334 that is operated by pressing the lower dish ball removal button 333. In the normal state, the lower dish 322 has a lower dish ball removal hole 322 a closed by a lid member 334, so that a game ball can be stored in the lower dish 322. When the lower plate ball removal button 333 is pressed to open the lid member 334, the game balls in the lower plate 322 can be discharged from the lower plate ball removal hole 332b to the lower side of the plate unit 320.

  The lower dish ball removal hole 322a of the lower dish 322 is disposed in front of (in front of) the lower dish ball supply port 323c of the dish unit base 323 that forms the rear wall of the lower dish 322. Therefore, in the state assembled to the door frame 3, the lower dish ball removal hole 322a is located on the right side of the lower dish opening 326d of the dish unit cover 326 and behind the frame unit 415 in the rendering operation unit 400. It is invisible from the player (front) side.

  As described above, the lower plate 322 is formed in a shape in which the outer peripheral shape is a combination of a front side of a quadrangle extending left and right and a trapezoid whose front side is narrowed, and the bottom surface has a lower plate ball hole 322a. It is inclined to become lower toward Therefore, the game balls supplied from the lower plate ball supply port 323c into the lower plate 322 in the state where the lid member 334 is opened and the lower plate ball hole 322a is opened are directly in front of the lower plate ball supply port 323c. Immediately it is discharged downward from the opened lower dish ball removal hole 322a. Since the lower end of the lower dish ball removal hole 322a is located slightly to the left of the left end of the lower dish ball supply port 323c, the lower dish ball supply hole 322a is opened in the state where the lower dish ball removal hole 322a is opened. The game ball supplied from the mouth 323c to the lower plate 322 does not directly flow to the left side region of the lower plate ball hole 322a in the lower plate 322, and is discharged from the lower plate ball hole 322a. Become.

  On the other hand, since the right end of the lower dish ball discharge hole 322a is located to the left of the right end of the lower dish ball supply port 323c, the game supplied to the lower plate 322 from the vicinity of the right end of the lower dish ball supply port 323c. The ball comes into contact with the portion forming the right standing wall of the lower plate 322. Since the standing wall on the right side of the lower plate 322 is curved obliquely with respect to the front-rear direction so as to face the direction of the lower plate ball removal hole 322a, the game ball supplied from the lower plate ball supply port 323c is When it comes into contact with the inclined portion, the light is reflected in the direction of the lower dish ball hole 322a, and is discharged from the lower dish ball hole 322a without going to the region on the left side of the lower dish ball hole 322a. (See FIG. 45).

  Thus, since the lower tray 322 of this embodiment is formed so as to guide the game ball supplied from the lower tray ball supply port 323c to the lower tray ball extraction hole 322a, the lower tray ball extraction hole 322a is formed. In a state in which is opened, the game ball supplied from the lower plate ball supply port 323c is immediately inserted into the region on the left side of the lower plate ball hole 322a in the lower plate 322 from the lower plate ball hole 322a. It can be discharged downward (dollar box). As a result, if the lower tray ball removal hole 322a is kept open, the game balls circulating on the lower plate 322 cannot be seen from the player side, so that they are paid out from the upper plate 321 or the payout device 830. An illusion that game balls and the like are directly discharged to the dollar box can be made to make it difficult for the game balls to feel annoying through the lower plate 322, thereby allowing the player to play a game (game ball driving operation). And devoted to the production of paintings, etc.), it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest.

  In the present embodiment, the lid member 334 closing the lower dish ball removal hole 322a may be interlocked with the upper dish ball removal button 327. Accordingly, when the upper dish ball removal button 327 is operated, the lid member 334 is also moved to open the lower dish ball removal hole 322a, so that the game balls discharged from the upper dish 321 to the lower dish 322 are further removed. It will be discharged | emitted from the hole 322a to the lower dollar box. That is, when the upper plate ball removal button 327 is operated to remove the game ball from the upper plate 321, the game ball of the upper plate 321 is discharged to the dollar box even though the lower plate ball removal button 333 is not operated. Therefore, it is possible to cause the player to have a strong illusion that the game ball on the upper plate 321 is directly discharged to the dollar box, and the above-described effects can be further exhibited. Note that the simultaneous opening of the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322 for removing the ball may be performed simultaneously by driving a driving source such as a motor or a solenoid, or may be performed simultaneously by a mechanical link mechanism.

  In the present embodiment, the lower plate body 325 and the lower plate cover 340 constituting the lower plate 322 are separated, but the lower plate body 325 and the lower plate cover 340 are disassembled. It may be an impossible one. Moreover, although the cover standing wall part 340a of the lower dish cover 340 has shown the example which stood up from the upper end of the main body standing wall part 325b of the lower dish main body 325, the bottom wall part 325a of the lower dish main body 325 showed the bottom plate cover 340's The cover standing wall 340a may rise. Moreover, although the ceiling part 340b of the lower tray cover 340 showed the example extended substantially horizontally from the upper end of the cover standing wall part 340a, the ceiling part 340b of the lower dish cover 340 is shown in the main body standing wall part 325b of the lower dish main body 325. You may make it extend substantially horizontally from an upper end.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, although the example provided with the escape part 322b for avoiding the contact with the production operation unit 400 (2nd production operation unit 400A) of the lower plate 322 was shown, the escape part 322b is not provided. A lower plate 322 may be used.

  In the present embodiment, the lower plate 322 (the lower plate body 325, the lower plate cover 340, etc.) has a uniform surface shape without a through-hole, but a plurality of through holes through which game balls cannot pass are shown. It may have a perforated hole. Specifically, at least a part of the bottom wall portion 325a, the main body standing wall portion 325b, the cover standing wall portion 340a, the ceiling portion 340b, etc. of the lower plate 322 is formed in a fence shape having a gap through which a game ball cannot pass. It is good also as what was formed in the thing and net shape. It should be noted that a light emitter such as an LED may be disposed in the dish unit cover 326 (mounting space 326j) so that the interior of the lower dish 322 is illuminated (light-emitting decorated) through a fence-like or net-like gap of the lower dish 322. .

  In this embodiment, the lower plate 322 is formed by the lower plate body 325, the lower plate cover 340, the plate unit base 323, and the plate unit cover 326 (lower plate cover portion 326k) formed separately. However, the lower plate 322 may be formed by combining these four members in an appropriate combination. Specifically, the lower plate cover 340 and the lower plate body 325 are integrated, the lower plate cover 340 and the plate unit cover 326 are integrated, the lower plate body 325 and the plate unit cover 326 are integrated. What is integrated, one in which the lower plate cover 340 and the plate unit base 323 are integrated, one in which the lower plate body 325 and the plate unit base 323 are integrated, the plate unit base 323 and the plate unit cover 326 In which the lower plate body 325, the lower plate cover 340, and the plate unit base 323 are integrated, and the lower plate body 325, the lower plate cover 340, and the plate unit cover 326 are integrated. The lower plate cover 340, the plate unit base 323, and the plate unit cover 326 are integrated, the lower plate body 325, the plate unit base 323, and the plate unit. That the Tokaba 326 are integrated, that a lower tray body 325 and Shitasara cover 340 and tray unit base 323 and dish unit cover 326 is integrated, it may be like.

[3-3b-1. Ball guide part of lower plate]
With reference to FIG. 46, an embodiment in which the lower tray 322 of the tray unit 320 is provided with a ball guiding portion that guides a game ball from the lower tray ball supply port 323c to the lower tray ball removal hole 322a will be described. FIG. 46A is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an example in which the lower plate is provided with a ball guiding portion, and FIG. 46B is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an example in which the lower plate is provided with a ball guiding portion different from (a). It is a figure, (c) is explanatory drawing which shows roughly the example provided with the further different bulb | ball guidance part. In FIG. 46, the same components as those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  The example of the lower plate 322 in FIG. 46A is substantially the same as the diameter of the lower plate ball discharge hole 322a in the portion between the lower plate ball supply port 323c and the lower plate ball discharge hole 322a on the bottom surface of the lower plate 322. A pair of sphere guiding portions 322c are provided that are separated from each other by a distance. The pair of ball guiding portions 322c are formed in a rail shape (protrusion) that extends back and forth in a state of protruding from the bottom surface of the lower plate 322. The lower plate 322 is inclined so that the bottom surface becomes lower toward the lower plate ball removal hole 322a. Accordingly, the game balls supplied from the lower dish ball supply port 323c into the lower dish 322 are guided to the lower dish ball extraction holes 322a by the pair of ball guide parts 322c without getting over the ball guide parts 322c, and the lower dish balls It is discharged downward (dollar box) from the hole 322a.

  The lower plate 322 in this example is similar to the above in that the lower plate ball supply port 323c and the lower plate ball are located on the rear side (lower plate second region A2) on the right side of the lower plate opening 326d of the plate unit cover 326. The hole 322a is arranged in a straight line in the front-rear direction. Accordingly, the lower dish ball supply port 323c and the lower dish ball removal hole 322a are located behind the covering wall such as the effect operation unit 400, the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a in the dish unit cover 326, and the front end side of the lower dish cover 340. It is not visible from the front.

  Thus, since the lower tray 322 of this example includes a pair of ball guiding portions 322c, the game ball supplied from the lower tray ball supply port 323c in a state where the lower tray ball removal hole 322a is opened. Can be immediately discharged downward (dollar box) from the lower dish ball removal hole 322a without entering the left side area of the lower dish ball removal hole 322a in the lower dish 322. And since the game balls circulating on the lower plate 322 cannot be seen from the player side, the illusion that the game balls and the like paid out from the upper plate 321 and the payout device 830 are directly discharged to the dollar box. By making it difficult for the game ball to feel the annoyance that passes through the lower plate 322, it is possible to concentrate the player on the game (gaming operation of the game ball, directing picture design, etc.) and to suppress the decrease in interest be able to.

  In the example of FIG. 46 (a), the ball guide portion 322c is rail-shaped, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the game ball is lowered like a groove extending toward the lower dish ball removal hole 322a. Any material that can be guided to the dishball hole 322a may be used.

  Next, in the example of the lower plate 322 in FIG. 46 (b), the game ball released diagonally forward to the right from the lower plate ball supply port 323c passes through the right wall of the lower plate ball removal hole 322a in the lower plate 322. In addition to being formed in a shape that reflects in the direction of the lower dish ball removal hole 322a, a buffer portion 322d is provided at a portion where the game ball abuts. The buffer 322d is formed of rubber, foam or the like.

  Similarly to the above, the lower plate 322 of this example is also provided with a lower plate ball hole 322a in front of the lower plate ball supply port 323c, and the bottom surface of the lower plate 322 is lowered toward the lower plate ball hole 322a. It is inclined to become. Therefore. The game ball released straight forward from the lower tray ball supply port 323c is discharged downward (dollar box) through the lower tray ball removal hole 322a. On the other hand, the game ball released to the right front from the lower dish ball supply port 323c is reflected toward the lower dish ball hole 322a by the buffer 322d and discharged downward (dollar box) from the lower dish ball hole 322a. Is done. At this time, since the game ball abuts on the buffer portion 322d and reflects, the collision sound at the time of reflection is reduced.

  Further, the lower plate 322 of this example is also on the right side of the lower plate opening 326d of the plate unit cover 326 in the same manner as described above (the production operation unit 400 that is the lower plate second area A2 and the production operation in the plate unit cover 326). The unit mounting portion 326a and the lower plate cover 340 are disposed behind the covering wall such as the front end side of the lower plate cover 340 so that they cannot be seen from the front.

  Thus, since the lower tray 322 of this example includes the buffer portion 322d on the wall portion that reflects the game ball, even if the game ball is not released straight forward from the lower tray ball supply port 323c, The buffer portion 322d can be reflected in the direction of the lower dish ball removal hole 322a without any sound and discharged downward (dollar box). Accordingly, when game balls and the like paid out from the upper plate 321 and the payout device 830 are discharged to the dollar box, the collision sound of the game balls cannot be heard from the lower plate 322, so that the bag is also discharged directly to the dollar box. By making it difficult for the game sphere to feel the annoyance that passes through the lower plate 322, the player can concentrate on the game (gaming operation of the game sphere, directing picture design, etc.) and the interest is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Subsequently, in the example of the lower plate 322 in FIG. 46 (c), the lower plate ball removal hole 322a in the bottom surface (bottom wall) of the lower plate 322 is interposed, and the lower plate 322 is moved upward from a portion opposite to the lower plate ball supply port 323c. And a return portion 322e that reflects the game ball that has jumped over the lower dish ball removal hole 322a toward the lower dish ball removal hole 322a. In addition, the return part 322e may use the same material as the material which forms the lower plate 322, and may use the buffer material which relieves the collision sound at the time of reflection, such as rubber | gum and a foam. The return portion 322e may not constitute the side wall of the lower plate 322, or may constitute a part of the side wall of the lower plate 322.

  In the lower plate 322, the lower plate ball supply port 323c, the lower plate ball hole 322a, and the return portion 322e are arranged in a straight line from the rear to the front, and the lower plate of the plate unit cover 326 Behind the opening 326d on the right side (the rear side of the covering wall on the front end side of the stage operation unit 400, the stage operation unit mounting part 326a in the dish unit cover 326, and the lower dish cover 340). It is arranged so that it cannot be seen from the front. In this lower plate 322, even if the game balls flowing from the lower plate ball supply port 323c to the lower plate ball discharge hole 322a jump over the lower plate ball discharge hole 322a, the return plate 322e causes the lower plate ball discharge hole 322a side to And can be discharged downward (dollar box) from the lower dish ball removal hole 322a. Therefore, the same operational effects as described above can be achieved.

  In the present embodiment, the above-described ball guiding portion 322c and the buffer portion 322d may be appropriately combined with the lower plate 322. Thereby, there can exist an effect similar to the above.

[3-4f. Effect of production operation unit]
The effects of the effect operation unit 400 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 61 to 63 and the like. FIG. 61 is an explanatory diagram showing a state where an operation button is pressed in the cross-sectional view of the effect operation unit of FIG. FIG. 62 (a) is a view of the rendering operation unit as viewed from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends, and a part of the operation button is cut away so as to be hidden by the first button decoration portion or the button frame of the operation button. It is explanatory drawing which shows a site | part, (b) is explanatory drawing which shows the site | part which is going to hide by the 1st button decoration part of an operation button, a button frame, etc. in sectional drawing of a production | presentation operation unit. FIG. 63A is an explanatory view showing the appearance of the rendering operation unit as viewed from the front, and FIG. 63B is an explanatory view of the appearance of the rendering operation unit viewed from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends. It is.

  The effect operation unit 400 of the present embodiment can show the effect picture pattern to the player according to the game state that is changed when the game ball is driven into the game area 5a of the game board 5, and to the player. It is possible to entertain and entertain the player in the presentation presented to the player by operating the operation button 410.

  The production operation unit 400 has an overall height that is substantially the same as the height of the lower portion of the through-hole 111 of the door frame base 110 in the door frame base unit 100 of the door frame 3. In addition, the production operation unit 400 has a full width slightly larger than 1/3 of the full width of the door frame 3. The production operation unit 400 is arranged at the center in the left-right direction below the game area 5a (the through hole 111 of the door frame base 110) in the front view.

  In the rendering operation unit 400, the upper part of the frame body 416 of the frame unit 415 is attached to the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326 a of the dish unit cover 326 in the dish unit 320. When the rendering operation unit 400 is attached to the tray unit 320, the bottom surface of the leg portion 442a of the relay board cover 442 serving as the bottom surface is spaced from the top surface of the bottom plate portion 326i of the tray unit cover 326 of the tray unit 320. Is formed. That is, only the upper part of the production operation unit 400 is attached to the dish unit 320 and is attached in a suspended state.

  Further, in the rendering operation unit 400, the front surface of the frame unit 415 (the surface formed by the inner periphery of the front end of the central opening 416a of the frame body 416) is parallel to the inclined surface of the front end opening of the rendering operation unit attachment portion 326a. As installed. Thereby, the production operation unit 400 moves so that the central axis CL of the transparent operation button 410 bulging forward in a spherical shape moves upward at an angle of 63 degrees with respect to the vertical line. Inclined. Accordingly, when a player sits in front of the pachinko machine 1 in order to play a game using the pachinko machine 1, the head of the player is arranged above the plate unit 320 (the production operation unit 400). Since the game board 5 is located in front of the center of the game area 5a, the center axis CL of the operation button 410 passes near the head of the player. Therefore, when the player drops his / her line of sight from the game area 5a to the effect operation unit 400 (operation button 410), the operation button 410 is as close as possible to the front view (projection view from a direction parallel to the central axis CL). Thus, the operation button 410 and the door frame side effect display device 460 in the operation button 410 can be visually recognized in a good state.

  In the effect operation unit 400, the four guide boss portions 413c of the operation button 410 are slidably inserted into the four holding holes 431b of the base unit 430, and are urged forward by the operation button spring 438. In the normal operation state (the state where the operation button 410 is not pressed), the effect operation unit 400 causes the front end of the flange portion 413b of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 to be attached to the frame unit 415 by the urging force of the operation button spring 438. The frame body 416 is in contact with a portion near the central opening 416a on the rear surface.

  In the normal operation state, the rendering operation unit 400 protrudes forward from the central opening 416a of the frame body 416 in the frame unit 415 from the vicinity of the inner periphery of the button frame 412 of the operation button 410 to the center side (center axis line CL side). Yes. In other words, in the transparent button lens 411 that bulges forward in a spherical shape in the operation button 410, the portion protruding forward from the inner periphery (inner side) of the button frame 412 is the center of the frame body 416 of the frame unit 415. It protrudes forward from the opening 416a (see FIG. 51 and the like).

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the diameter of the central opening 416a of the frame main body 416 in the frame unit 415 is about 15 cm, and the button lens 411 (the front end) with respect to the central axis CL direction of the operation button 410 is the frame unit. It protrudes about 4 cm forward from the front surface of 415.

  When the player presses the operation button 410 of the effect operation unit 400 in a normal state, the operation button 410 moves backward along the central axis CL against the urging force of the operation button spring 438. Then, when the rear end of the operation button 410 comes into contact with the front surface of the unit base 431 of the base unit 430, the backward movement is restricted and the backward movement of the operation button 410 is stopped. When the player presses the operation button 410, the button lens 411 bulging forward in a spherical shape is pressed.

  The operation button 410 has a very large outer diameter compared to the operation buttons for production provided in the conventional pachinko machine, so the periphery of the button lens 411 away from the center is pressed. There is a high possibility of being. More specifically, the operation buttons for effects in the conventional pachinko machine are attached so that the center axis extends substantially parallel to the vertical line, whereas the operation buttons 410 of the effect operation unit 400 of the present embodiment. Since the central axis CL is attached to be inclined with respect to the vertical line, when the player presses the operation button 410 from above as in the conventional pachinko machine, as shown by the white arrow in FIG. The part away from the central axis CL of the operation button 410 is pressed.

  By the way, the operation buttons for performance in the conventional pachinko machine are formed with a flat surface on which the player presses, so when the operation button is enlarged with the flat part being pressed When pressing the part off the center of the operation button, the surface to be pressed is tilted so that the pressed part is retracted first, and the operation button cannot be receded straight, There is a possibility that the pressing operation cannot be performed.

  On the other hand, the operation button 410 of the effect operation unit 400 of the present embodiment has a spherical shape in which a portion (button lens 411) pressed by the player bulges forward. When the distant position is pressed, the force is distributed over the entire operation button 410, making it difficult for the operation button 410 to tilt and allowing the operation button 410 to move straight back. Therefore, any position on the front side of the operation button 410 can be smoothly moved backward with the operation button 410 tilted, so that the pressing operation can be reliably detected, and the operation button 410 can be pressed. You can fully enjoy the production.

  In addition, the production operation unit 400 has the vibration motor 424 attached to the lower part of the front surface of the substrate base 421 in the decorative board unit 420, and as described above, only the upper part is a dish so that the production operation unit 400 can be suspended. Since the vibration is generated by rotating the weight 424a by the vibration motor 424, the vibration is generated at a part farthest from the attached part because it is attached to the production operation unit attaching part 326a of the unit cover 326. The entire production operation unit 400 can be vibrated greatly (strongly), and the vibration can be transmitted to the player who is touching the production operation unit 400. In addition, since the vibration motor 424 is disposed immediately below the position where the player can relatively press the button (the position of the white arrow in FIG. 61), the player who presses the operation button 410 can be prevented. Strong vibrations can be transmitted, and the player can be surprised and entertained.

  Further, the production operation unit 400 is attached to the dish unit cover 326 in a suspended state, and the lower surface of the leg portion 442a of the relay board cover 442 forming the lower surface and the bottom plate of the dish unit cover 326. Since a gap is formed between the upper surface of the portion 326i and the lower surface of the leg portion 442a comes into contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i when the operation button 410 is strongly pressed or hit, the frame The impact can be absorbed by the mounting portion 416e of the unit 415, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a of the dish unit cover 326, etc. being bent downward. Further, after the lower surface of the leg portion 442a abuts on the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i, the movement of the rendering operation unit 400 is restricted downward, and the mounting portion 416e of the frame unit 415 and the rendering operation unit mounting portion of the dish unit cover 326 are controlled. It is possible to avoid an unreasonable force acting on 326a and the like, and to prevent the rendering operation unit 400 and the like from being damaged. Therefore, even when the operation button 410 is pressed or hit with a strong force when an effect of pressing the operation button 410 of the effect operation unit 400 is presented to the player, the operation button 410 or the effect operation unit Since 400 and the like are not damaged, it is possible to avoid interruption of the game due to the damage, to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player, and to increase the burden on the game hall side by making it difficult to break. Can be suppressed.

  As described above, the button lens 411 of the operation button 410 that is pressed by the player is formed in a spherical shape protruding forward, and thus has higher strength and rigidity than a flat plate. In addition, even if it is strongly struck, the impact can be dispersed throughout the button lens 411, making it difficult to break.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 63, the effect operation unit 400 includes a button lens 411, a frame side lens 417, a frame top lens 418, and an operation button interior decoration member 432 made of transparent members. Decorations such as first button decoration part 411a, second button decoration part 411b, first button decoration part 432f, and second button decoration part 432g formed on the back side are on the front side (player side) ). In addition, in the part where the uneven decoration is formed, the light is refracted in a complicated manner because the plate thickness is changed, so that the rear side is difficult to see through the part where the uneven decoration is formed. .

  The effect operation unit 400 includes the first button decoration portion 411a extending from the inner periphery of the button frame 412 to the center side of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410, and thus the uneven decoration of the first button decoration portion 411a. Thus, it is possible to make it difficult to see the rear at the outer peripheral portion of the portion that is inside the button lens 411. Behind the portion where the first button decoration portion 411a is formed (backward in the direction of the central axis CL), the inner peripheral surface of the body portion 413a of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 and the peripheral wall portion of the operation button inner decoration member 432 A gap between the outer peripheral surface of the operation button 432a is positioned, and the outer periphery of the operation button inner decorative member 432 is moved from the front side (player side) by the first button decoration portion 411a positioned in front of the gap. It can be difficult to see. Thereby, even if the operation button 410 that can be pressed is provided with the operation button decoration member 432 whose position is fixed, the appearance of the operation button 410 can be prevented from deteriorating. The player can be prevented from feeling uncomfortable, and the operation button decoration member 432 can be disposed in the transparent operation button 410 without any problem, and the appearance of the operation button 410 can be improved.

  More specifically, the effect operation unit 400 includes the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, and the button frame 412 of the button lens 411 in the operation button 410. The unit base 431 and the decorative board unit 420 on the rear side (back side) on the outer side are formed so as not to be seen from the player side through the transparent button lens 411. Specifically, in FIG. 62, the cross hatched part surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line is hidden from the player side. As described above, since the operation button 410 includes the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, the button frame 412, and the like, the outer edge and the back side of the operation button inner decoration member 432 are hidden from view. Therefore, the appearance of the operation button 410 and, consequently, the production operation unit 400 can be improved.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 400, the first button decoration portion 411a of the button lens 411 in the operation button 410 extends toward the central axis CL of the operation button 410 and is arranged in the circumferential direction. Thus, the second button interior decoration portion 432g formed on the front plate portion 432b of the operation button interior decoration member 432 disposed on the inner rear side of the operation button 410 extends in an odd octagonal shape centering on the central axis CL. As shown in FIG. 63, the concave and convex lines of the first button decorative portion 411a and the concave and convex lines of the second button decorative portion 432g intersect as shown in FIG. The decoration can be shown to the player.

  In addition, since the first button decoration part 411a and the second button decoration part 432g are separated from each other in the front-rear direction (the direction in which the central axis line CL extends), the effect operation unit 400 is separated from the first button decoration part 411a. By the second button interior decoration portion 432g, a three-dimensional geometric pattern with depth can be shown to the player, and the decoration including the inside of the operation button 410 can be enjoyed.

  Furthermore, in the production operation unit 400, since the first button decoration part 411a and the second button decoration part 432g are separated in the front-rear direction, if the position of the player's eyes moves, the unevenness of the first button decoration part 411a Since the degree of overlap between the line and the concavo-convex line of the second button interior decoration portion 432g changes, a moving decoration can be shown to the player, and the player can be entertained.

  In this way, the effect operation unit 400 provides the player with a three-dimensional decoration with movement by the first button decoration part 411a of the operation button 410 and the second button decoration part 432g of the operation button decoration member 432. Since it can be shown, a player's interest can be attracted strongly and it can be set as the pachinko machine 1 with high appeal power.

  Further, the production operation unit 400 is within the operation button 410 (inside the button frame 412) and behind the operation button inner decoration member 432, the operation button left inner decoration board 433, the operation button right inner decoration board 434, and the operation button.

The time detection piece 475c can be detected respectively. Based on the detection signal of the detection piece 475c by these two rotation detection sensors 507, the rotation drive of the switching drive motor 492 of the rotation drive unit 490 is controlled.

[3-4g-6. Buffer unit]
The buffer unit 510 of the second effect operation unit 400A will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. The buffer unit 510 is attached to the lower surface of the door frame side second effect display device 460A, and reduces the impact when the second effect operation unit 400A is hit from above, so that the dish unit cover in the dish unit 320 is provided. 326 is transmitted to the bottom plate portion 326i.

  The buffer unit 510 is in contact with an elastically deformable flat plate-shaped buffer member 511 whose upper surface is in contact with the lower surface of the projector mounting member 505 in the door frame side second effect display device 460A, and the lower surface of the buffer member 511. A buffer base 512 that is mounted so as to be relatively close to the lower surface of the projector mounting member 505.

  The buffer base 512 of the buffer unit 510 includes a flat plate-like main body portion 512a that contacts the lower surface of the buffer member 511, and leg pieces that protrude downward from the left and right ends of the main body portion 512a when viewed from the front and extend in the front-rear direction. 512b. The leg piece portion 512 b of the buffer base 512 is in contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326 i of the plate unit cover 326 in the plate unit 320 in a state assembled to the door frame 3.

  In the buffer unit 510, when the operation button 410 or the frame unit 415 is strongly pressed or hit, the projector mounting member 505 mounted on the base unit 430A compresses the buffer member 511 in the buffer unit 510. Move downwards. The shock is absorbed by compressing the buffer member 511. When the projector mounting member 505 moves further downward, the lower surface of the projector mounting member 505 contacts the upper surface side of the main body portion 512a of the buffer base 512. Since the main body portion 512a has a gap formed between the left and right leg pieces 512b and the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i of the dish unit cover 326, the projector mounting member is in contact with the upper surface side of the main body portion 512a. When 505 moves further downward, the flat plate-like main body portion 512a is bent, and the impact can be absorbed by the bending of the main body portion 512a. Further, when the projector mounting member 505 moves downward, the lower surface of the main body portion 512a bent downward contacts the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i of the dish unit cover 326, and further bending of the main body portion 512a is restricted. The impact is transmitted to the dish unit cover 326. In this way, when the operation button 410 or the frame unit 415 is strongly hit from above, the impact can be absorbed in multiple stages, and the mounting portion 416e of the frame unit 415 and the effect operation unit mounting portion of the dish unit cover 326 are absorbed. It is possible to prevent an undue force from acting on 326a and the like and to prevent them from being damaged.

[3-4g-7. Effects of the second stage operation unit]
The operational effects of the second performance operation unit 400A will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. FIG. 74A is an explanatory view of the second effect operation unit as viewed from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends with the main screen of the screen unit facing forward, and FIG. 74B is a sub view of the screen unit. It is explanatory drawing which looked at the 2nd production operation unit from the direction where the central axis of the operation button has extended in the state which turned the screen ahead. 75 (a) is a cross-sectional view taken along line JJ in FIG. 74 (a), and FIG. 75 (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line KK in FIG. 74 (b). FIG. 76 (a) shows the second rendering operation unit with the main screen facing forward, as viewed from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends, and is hidden by the first button decoration portion, button frame, etc. of the operation button. It is explanatory drawing which shows the site | part which is going to be shown, (b) shows the site | part which is going to hide by the 1st button decoration part of an operation button, a button frame, etc. in sectional drawing of the 2nd production operation unit of the state of (a). It is explanatory drawing. FIG. 77 (a) shows the second rendering operation unit viewed from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends with the sub-screen facing forward, and is hidden by the first button decoration portion, button frame, etc. of the operation button. It is explanatory drawing which shows the site | part which is going to be shown, (b) shows the site | part which is going to hide by the 1st button decoration part of an operation button, a button frame, etc. in sectional drawing of the 2nd production operation unit of the state of (a). It is explanatory drawing.

  The second effect operation unit 400A of the present embodiment changes the decoration in the operation button 410 or changes the operation button 410 according to the game state that changes when the game ball is driven into the game area 5a of the game board 5. The player can entertain the player by causing the player to operate the operation buttons 410 by causing the player to operate the operation buttons 410 by displaying the effect picture pattern in 410. It is.

  The second rendering operation unit 400 </ b> A has an overall height substantially the same as the height of the lower portion of the through-hole 111 of the door frame base 110 in the door frame base unit 100 of the door frame 3. In addition, the production operation unit 400 has a full width slightly larger than 1/3 of the full width of the door frame 3. The production operation unit 400 is arranged at the center in the left-right direction below the game area 5a (the through hole 111 of the door frame base 110) in the front view.

  In the second effect operation unit 400A, the upper part of the frame main body 416 of the frame unit 415 is attached to the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a of the dish unit cover 326 in the dish unit 320. When the second rendering operation unit 400A is attached to the tray unit 320, the lower surface of the leg portion 442a of the relay board cover 442 serving as the bottom surface is between the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i of the tray unit cover 326 of the tray unit 320. A gap is formed. That is, the second rendering operation unit 400A is attached only to the upper part with respect to the dish unit 320, and is attached in a suspended state.

  Further, in the second effect operation unit 400A, the front surface of the frame unit 415 (the surface formed by the inner periphery of the front end of the central opening 416a of the frame body 416) is parallel to the inclined surface of the front end opening of the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a. It is installed to become. As a result, the second rendering operation unit 400A moves forward with the central axis CL (see FIG. 67) of the transparent operation button 410 bulging forward in a spherical shape at an angle of 63 degrees with respect to the vertical line. It is inclined to move upward as it goes. As a result, when a player sits in front of the pachinko machine 1 in order to play a game using the pachinko machine 1, the head of the player is placed above the dish unit 320 (second effect operation unit 400A). Since the game board 5 is located in front of the center of the game area 5a, the central axis CL of the operation button 410 passes near the head of the player. Therefore, when the player drops his / her line of sight from the game area 5a to the second effect operation unit 400A (operation button 410), the operation button 410 is as possible as the front view (projection view from a direction parallel to the central axis CL). Thus, the operation button 410, the door frame side second effect display device 460A in the operation button 410, and the like can be visually recognized in a good state.

  In the second effect operation unit 400A, the button shafts 452 held in the four holding holes 451d of the unit base 451 in the second base unit 450 are slid on the four cylindrical guide boss portions 413c of the operation buttons 410, respectively. It is movably inserted and is urged forward by an operation button spring (not shown). In a normal state (a state where the operation button 410 is not pressed), the second effect operation unit 400A causes the front end of the flange portion 413b of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 to be in the frame unit 415 by the urging force of the operation button spring. The frame main body 416 is in contact with a portion in the vicinity of the central opening 416a on the rear surface.

  In the normal state, the second effect operation unit 400A has a central side (center axis CL side) from the vicinity of the inner periphery of the button frame 412 of the operation button 410 to the front from the central opening 416a of the frame body 416 of the frame unit 415. It protrudes. In other words, in the transparent button lens 411 that bulges forward in a spherical shape in the operation button 410, the portion protruding forward from the inner periphery (inner side) of the button frame 412 is the center of the frame body 416 of the frame unit 415. It protrudes forward from the opening 416a (see FIG. 67 and the like).

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the diameter of the central opening 416a of the frame main body 416 in the frame unit 415 is about 15 cm, and the button lens 411 (the front end) with respect to the central axis CL direction of the operation button 410 is the frame unit. It protrudes about 4 cm forward from the front surface of 415.

  In a normal state, when the player presses the operation button 410 of the second effect operation unit 400A, the operation button 410 moves rearward along the central axis CL against the biasing force of the operation button spring. When the rear end of the operation button 410 comes into contact with the front surface of the main body 451a of the unit base 451 of the base unit 430A, the backward movement is restricted and the backward movement of the operation button 410 is stopped. When the player presses the operation button 410, the button lens 411 bulging forward in a spherical shape is pressed.

  The operation button 410 has a very large outer diameter compared to the operation buttons for production provided in the conventional pachinko machine, so the periphery of the button lens 411 away from the center is pressed. There is a high possibility of being. More specifically, while the operation buttons for effects in the conventional pachinko machine are attached so that the central axis extends substantially parallel to the vertical line, the operation of the second effect operation unit 400A of the present embodiment is performed. Since the button 410 is attached with the central axis CL inclined with respect to the vertical line, when the player presses the operation button 410 from above like the conventional pachinko machine, the button 410 is separated from the central axis CL of the operation button 410. The part will be pressed (see FIG. 61).

  By the way, the operation buttons for performance in the conventional pachinko machine are formed with a flat surface on which the player presses, so when the operation button is enlarged with the flat part being pressed When pressing the part off the center of the operation button, the surface to be pressed is tilted so that the pressed part is retracted first, and the operation button cannot be receded straight, There is a possibility that the pressing operation cannot be performed.

  On the other hand, the operation button 410 of the second effect operation unit 400A of the present embodiment has a spherical shape in which a part (button lens 411) pressed by the player bulges forward. When a position away from the center is pressed, the force is distributed over the entire operation button 410, making it difficult for the operation button 410 to tilt, and the operation button 410 can move straight back. Therefore, any position on the front side of the operation button 410 can be smoothly moved backward with the operation button 410 tilted, so that the pressing operation can be reliably detected, and the operation button 410 can be pressed. You can fully enjoy the production.

  Further, the second effect operation unit 400A has the vibration motor 424 attached to the lower front surface of the substrate base 421 in the decorative substrate unit 420, and as described above, the second effect operation unit 400A is suspended. Since only the upper part is attached to the production operation unit attachment part 326a of the dish unit cover 326, when vibration is generated by rotating the weight 424a by the vibration motor 424, vibration is generated at a part farthest from the attached part. As a result, the entire second performance operation unit 400A can be vibrated greatly (strongly), and vibrations can be transmitted to the player who is touching the second performance operation unit 400A. In addition, since the vibration motor 424 is disposed immediately below a position where the player can relatively easily press the button (near the upper portion of the operation button 410), strong vibration is applied to the player who presses the operation button 410. Can be transmitted, and the player can be surprised and entertained.

  Furthermore, the second effect operation unit 400A is attached to the dish unit cover 326 in a suspended state, and the projector mounting member 505 of the door frame side second effect display device 460A and the bottom plate of the dish unit cover 326 are mounted. A buffer unit 510 is disposed between the upper surface of the portion 326i. The buffer unit 510 includes an elastically deformable buffer member 511, and a gap is formed between the main body portion 512 a with which the buffer member 511 is in contact with the upper surface and the bottom plate portion 326 i of the dish unit cover 326. Therefore, when the operation button 410 or the frame unit 415 is strongly pressed or struck down, the impact is caused in multiple stages by elastic deformation (compression) of the buffer member 511, bending of the main body 512a of the buffer base 512, or the like. Can be absorbed, and it can be avoided that an excessive force acts on the mounting portion 416e of the frame unit 415, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a of the dish unit cover 326, etc., and the second rendering operation unit 400A or the like is damaged. Can be prevented. Therefore, even if the operation button 410 or the frame unit 415 is pressed or hit with a strong force when the player is presented with an effect of pressing the operation button 410 of the second effect operation unit 400A, the operation is not performed. Since the button 410, the second performance operation unit 400A, and the like are not damaged, it is possible to avoid the interruption of the game due to the damage, to suppress the lowering of the player's interest, and to make the damage difficult. An increase in the burden on the game hall side can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the button lens 411 of the operation button 410 to be pressed by the player is formed in a spherical shape protruding forward, the strength and rigidity are higher than in the case of a flat plate shape, Even if it is strongly struck, the impact can be dispersed throughout the button lens 411, making it difficult to break.

  In the second effect operation unit 400A, since the button lens 411, the frame side lens 417, and the frame top lens 418 are made of transparent members, the first button decoration portion formed on the back side thereof. The decoration by unevenness, such as 411a and the 2nd button decoration part 411b, can be visually recognized from the front side (player side) (refer FIG. 63). In addition, in the part where the uneven decoration is formed, the light is refracted in a complicated manner because the plate thickness is changed, so that the rear side is difficult to see through the part where the uneven decoration is formed. .

  Since the second effect operation unit 400A includes the first button decoration portion 411a extending from the inner periphery of the button frame 412 to the center side of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410, a plurality of the first button decoration portions 411a are provided. It is possible to make it difficult to see the rear at the outer peripheral portion of the portion that is inside the button lens 411 by the uneven decoration combined with the triangle. Behind the portion where the first button decoration portion 411a is formed (backward in the direction of the central axis CL), the inner peripheral surface of the body portion 413a of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 and the door frame side second effect display device There is a gap between the outer periphery of the screen unit 470 of 460A, but the outer periphery (outside) of the screen unit 470 from the front side (player side) by the first button decoration portion 411a located in front of the gap. It is possible to make it difficult to see the gap. Accordingly, even if the operation button 410 capable of being pressed is provided with the door frame side second effect display device 460A whose position is fixed, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the operation button 410 from being deteriorated. Can be prevented from feeling uncomfortable, and the door frame side second effect display device 460A can be disposed in the transparent operation button 410 without any problem, so that the appearance of the operation button 410 can be improved. Can be better.

  More specifically, the second effect operation unit 400A includes the first button decoration part 411a, the second button decoration part 411b, and the button frame 412 of the button lens 411 in the operation button 410, and the second effect display unit 460A. The second base unit 450, the upper shaft member 473, the lower shaft member 474, and the like that are on the rear side (back side) outside the outer periphery of the main screen 471, the sub screen 472, etc. It is formed so that it cannot be seen. Specifically, in the first position with the main screen 471 of the screen unit 470 facing forward, the upper and lower sides of the main screen 471, the left outer side of the peripheral decorative portion 472a of the sub screen 472, and the right of the peripheral decorative member 478 The outer part (the cross hatched part surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 76) is hidden from the player side.

  On the other hand, in the second position with the sub-screen 472 of the screen unit 470 facing forward, the outer portion of the annular peripheral decorative portion 472a of the sub-screen 472 (the cross-hatched portion surrounded by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 76). ) Is hidden from the player side. As described above, since the operation button 410 includes the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, the button frame 412 and the like, it is difficult to see the outer edge and the back side of the main screen 471 and the sub screen 472. It is possible to hide, and the appearance of the operation button 410 and by extension, the second performance operation unit 400A as a whole can be improved.

  In the first position where the main screen 471 is facing forward, the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b of the button lens 411, the button frame 412 and the like, the screen portion 472b of the sub screen 472. In addition, the sub-screen decoration member 476, the upper shaft member 473, and the lower shaft member 474 are difficult to see (see FIG. 76). This makes it difficult for the player to notice the presence of the sub-screen 472 and the fact that the main screen 471 can be rotated. A movement exceeding the player's expectation is performed in the button 410, so that a strong impact can be given to the player, and the player can be entertained and a decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  Further, in the second position where the sub-screen 472 faces forward, the upper shaft member 473 and the lower shaft are moved by the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, the button frame 412 and the like of the button lens 411. The member 474 is difficult to see (see FIG. 77). This makes it difficult for the player to notice that the sub-screen 472 (sub-screen decoration member 476) can rotate, so that the impact when the sub-screen 472 (screen unit 470) is rotated can be increased. The player can be entertained.

  Further, the second effect operation unit 400A has a center side from the inner periphery of the button frame 412 in the button lens 411 that can visually recognize the door frame side second effect display device 460A disposed on the rear side of the operation button 410. The door frame side second effect display that is provided with a polyhedral first button decoration portion 411a that is a combination of a plurality of triangular surfaces within a predetermined width range and that is disposed on the inner rear side of the operation button 410. The apparatus 460A includes a peripheral decoration portion 472a and a peripheral decoration member 478 of a sub-screen 472 in which a plurality of square weights are arranged. Thereby, the decoration (first button decoration part 411a) made of a triangle arranged on the front side and the decoration made of a quadrangle arranged on the rear side (the peripheral decoration part 472a and the peripheral decoration member 478) overlap each other so as to intersect. As a result, the player can show a complicated geometric pattern to the player, improve the appearance, and suppress a decrease in the interest of the player.

  Further, as described above, the first button decoration part 411a mainly composed of a triangle, the peripheral decoration part 472a mainly composed of a quadrangle, and the peripheral decoration member 478 are separated from each other in the front-rear direction. As the position moves, the overlapping state changes, so that the geometric patterns that appear to overlap can be changed and the moving decoration can be shown to the player, and the three-dimensional decoration with a depth can be displayed to the player. Can be shown to the player and entertain the player.

  Further, in the door frame side second effect display device 460A disposed on the inner rear side of the operation button 410, the screen unit 470 is rotated by driving the switching drive motor 492 so that the main screen 471 is directed forward, or the sub screen. 472 can be directed forward, and the decoration composed of a plurality of squares can be changed. More specifically, in the state where the main screen 471 is directed forward, as shown in FIG. 74 (a), the peripheral decorative portion 472a and the peripheral decorative member 478 are separated from each other in the horizontal direction and extend vertically. It is possible to show the player a geometric pattern decoration in which the decoration composed of a plurality of square pyramids arranged in a row cuts the decoration composed of a plurality of triangles arranged in an annular shape in the button lens 411. . On the other hand, in the state where the sub-screen 472 is directed forward, as shown in FIG. 74 (b), the peripheral decoration part 472a is in an annularly extending state, and the decoration is composed of a plurality of square weights arranged in an annular shape. However, it is possible to show the player the decoration of the geometric pattern that overlaps the decoration made of a plurality of triangles arranged in an annular shape in the button lens 411. Accordingly, by rotating the screen unit 470, the decoration (physical decoration) of the operation button 410 can be changed. Therefore, the player's interest can be attracted to the operation button 410 by the decoration change, The change can cause the player to suggest the arrival of a chance, etc., and the player can be entertained to prevent a decrease in interest.

  In addition, the second effect operation unit 400A provides a screen unit 470 having a screen with a different switchable form on the door frame side second effect display device 460A provided in the operation button 410, and an effect on the screen unit 470. Since the projector 500 for projecting and displaying the picture picture is provided, it is possible to display a picture picture pattern that is completely different from the display of the picture picture pattern by the liquid crystal display device, and to have a strong impact on the player and entertain Can do. Specifically, the screen unit 470 includes a semi-cylindrical main screen 471 and a sub-screen 472 having a disc-shaped relief-shaped sub-screen decoration member 476 in the center, and the center of the upper shaft member 473 and the lower shaft member 474 A rotation angle of 90 degrees around the axis is provided in the circumferential direction.

  In the door frame side second effect display device 460A, when the main screen 471 of the screen unit 470 is in the first position, the center axis of the semi-cylindrical shape is positioned so as to extend in the left-right direction. When viewed, it appears as a quadrangle (rectangle) extending vertically (see FIG. 74A). When the effect image pattern is irradiated forward from the projector 500 arranged behind the main screen 471, the effect image pattern is projected on the rear surface of the main screen 471 (see FIG. 75 (a)). Through the milky white main screen 471, the effect image pattern projected from the front side can be viewed. Since the main screen 471 is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape with a smooth surface, the effect picture pattern is also curved in a semi-cylindrical shape. Accordingly, the display screen of the general liquid crystal display device is flat, whereas the display screen of the main screen 471 is curved in a semi-cylindrical shape. It is possible to recognize that it is different from the game, and to surprise the player, to make the player pay attention to the main screen 471, and to enjoy the effect picture pattern projected and displayed on the main screen 471. I can do it.

As shown in FIGS. 125A and 125B, the decorative sheet determining member 565 includes four determination sensors 565a to 565d and a decorative sheet detection sensor 565e. Each sensor is a photoelectric sensor, and the four discrimination sensors 565a to 565d and the decorative sheet detection sensor 565e are light receiving elements (not shown) at positions facing the light projecting element and the decorative sheet to be inserted. Is provided.
125 (A), 125 (B), 125 (C), and 125 (D) each contain a decorative sheet corresponding to a different type of game board.

  As shown in FIG. 125 (A), the lower end 5570 of the right unit right decorative member 557 is provided with a notch, and the lower ends 5571 to 5573 are not provided with a notch. When the right unit right decorative member 557 is inserted into the decorative sheet determining member 565, the decorative sheet detection sensor 565e first detects that the right unit right decorative member 557 has been inserted. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 125B, the determination sensor 565a and the lower end 5570 do not overlap in the front-rear direction, so that light from the light projecting element is not blocked, and the determination sensor 565a is turned on. In addition, since the discrimination sensors 565b to d and the lower ends 5571 to 5573 overlap in the front-rear direction, light from the light projecting element is blocked, and the discrimination sensors 565b to 565d are turned off. Further, since “1” is determined in the on state and “0” is determined in the off state, the cutout pattern of the right unit right decorative member 557 in this example is “1” sequentially from the determination sensor 565a. ”,“ 0 ”,“ 0 ”,“ 0 ”.

  As shown in FIG. 125 (C), the lower end 5571 of the right unit right decorative member 557 is provided with a notch, and the lower ends 5570, 5572, and 5573 are not provided with a notch. When the right unit right decoration member 557 is inserted into the decoration sheet determination member 565, the decoration sheet detection sensor 565e first detects that the right unit right decoration member 557 has been inserted. As shown in FIG. 125D, the determination sensor 565b and the lower end 5571 do not overlap with each other in the front-rear direction, so that light from the light projecting element is not blocked and the determination sensor 565b is turned on. Since the discrimination sensors 565a, c, d and the lower ends 5570, 5572, 5573 overlap in the front-rear direction, light from the light projecting element is blocked, and the discrimination sensors 565a, c, d are turned off. Thereby, the notch pattern of the right unit right decorative member 557 of this example is determined as “0”, “1”, “0”, “0” in order from the determination sensor 565a.

  In this manner, by providing the discrimination sensors 565a to 565d, the cut patterns of “0”, “0”, “0”, “0” can be changed to “1”, “1”, “1”, “1”. Detects up to notch pattern and recognizes it as a code signal based on a combination of ON and OFF (eg, “0001” code signal for a notch pattern of “0” “0” “0” “1”) Therefore, 16 types of decorative sheets can be discriminated.

  It should be noted that the decorative sheet only needs to be impermeable in order to block the light from the light projecting element only at the portions facing the discrimination sensors 565a to 565d and the decorative sheet detection sensor 565e. In the part which can be visually recognized from a customer, it can select suitably regardless of permeability | transmittance and impermeability.

  In addition, the description has been given so far for each pachinko machine 1 model in which a unique notch pattern is provided on the decorative sheet. However, a unique notch pattern is provided for each of the two decorative sheets inserted into the door frame right side unit 550. It is good also as a thing which provides. Thereby, not only whether it corresponds to the model of the pachinko machine 1 or not, it becomes possible to determine which one of the receiving recesses 553d or the receiving recess 556d accommodates each decorative sheet. Can be prevented from being inserted into the receiving recess in the wrong place.

[Error notification]
If the decoration sheet is inserted into the door frame right side unit 550 and is determined by the determination sensors 565a to 565d, it is determined that the correct decoration sheet corresponding to the model of the game board 5 is inserted. The decorative sheet is illuminated by the door frame right side decorative board 552 arranged in the unit 550 to enhance the visibility of the inserted decorative sheet. On the other hand, when it is determined that the decorative sheet corresponding to the game board 5 is not inserted (an incorrect decorative sheet is inserted), the respective LEDs on the door frame right side decorative board 552 are turned off. Send error information to the hall management computer. Further, when the decoration sheet detection sensor 565e determines that the decoration sheet is not inserted into the door frame right side unit 550, the LED when it is determined that the decoration sheet corresponding to the game board 5 is inserted. Each LED is caused to emit light in a light emission mode (for example, blinking) different from the light emission. By these notifications, it is possible to prevent an erroneous decorative sheet from being inserted into the door frame right side unit 550.

  In addition, the error notification is not limited to the light emission mode of each LED and the transmission of error information to the hall management computer. For example, using various speakers or game board side effect display device 1600, “not inserted” Error information such as “.” Or “Incorrect” may be notified, and various methods can be selected.

In addition, the error notification timing executed when an incorrect decorative sheet has been inserted into the door frame right side unit 550 has passed a certain time (about 10 seconds in this example) after the pachinko machine 1 is turned on. Later, the process is started when an error notification condition is satisfied.
In this example, the error notification end condition is to continue the error notification until the decorative sheet corresponding to the game board 5 is inserted. For example, the correct decorative sheet is opened by the person in charge of the game hall who noticed the error notification. The error notification is canceled when it is inserted into the frame right side unit 550.

  In addition, the error notification termination conditions are not limited to those described above. For example, the pachinko machine 1 is turned off to release the error notification, the correct decorative sheet is inserted, and the power is turned on again. It is good also as a structure which determines again whether a decoration sheet respond | corresponds with the game board 5 anew. Alternatively, after the error notification is executed, it may be canceled when a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) elapses, and various configurations can be selected.

[Determination of decorative sheet and game board]
Further, the peripheral control board 1510 determines whether the pachinko machine 1 model (game board 5) is consistent with the decorative sheet and whether the decorative sheet is inserted. (Described later) is executed, and is executed in an initial setting process performed by the peripheral control unit 1511 mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. The peripheral control board 1510 stores in advance a code signal corresponding to a notch pattern of a decorative sheet corresponding to the game board 5 that is fitted into the main body frame 4 and is inserted into the door frame right side unit 550. The notch pattern of each decorative sheet is detected by the discrimination sensors 565a to 565d of the decorative sheet discriminating member 565 described above, and the detection result is read as a code signal. The signal is checked to determine whether it is correct.

In this example, as an example of a code signal corresponding to each type of game board, as shown in FIG. 126, combinations of ON / OFF in the four discrimination sensors 565a to 565d are digitized.
When the code signal corresponding to the game board A is “1000”, among the discrimination sensors 565a to 565d, only the discrimination sensor 565a is in the “on” state. “1” “0” “0” “0” notch Corresponds to a decorative sheet provided with a pattern. In other words, when the decorative sheet is accommodated in the door frame right side unit 550, a decorative sheet in which a cutout is provided only at a position facing the discrimination sensor 565a is configured.
In addition, since the corresponding code signal is different for each game board model, the code signal of the game board B corresponds to a code signal different from the game board A, for example, “0100”. Among the 565a to 565d, only the discrimination sensor 565b corresponds to a decorative sheet provided with a notch pattern of “0”, “1”, “0”, and “0”. In other words, when the decorative sheet is inserted into the door frame right side unit 550, a decorative sheet in which a cutout is provided only at a position facing the discrimination sensor 565b is configured.

  In addition to a code signal uniquely corresponding to the type of game board, for example, a code signal of “0000” is used as a code signal corresponding to any game board. By making the code signal “0000” correspond to the common game board code signal, for example, the game board A and the game board B can be accommodated as a common decoration sheet. Can be passed.

  Next, an example of a code signal determination process executed by the peripheral control board 1510 (particularly the peripheral control unit 1511 mounted on the peripheral control board 1510) will be described. FIG. 127 is a code signal for determining the consistency between the game board and the decorative sheet, which is executed in the initial setting process performed by the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. It is a flowchart which shows the procedure of a determination process.

  In the code signal determination process, first, the decorative sheet detection sensor 565e determines whether or not the decorative sheet is accommodated in the door frame right side unit 550 (step S511).

  If it is determined by the decorative sheet detection sensor 565e that the decorative sheet is not inserted into the door frame right side unit 550 (“NO” in step S511), the process proceeds to step S513 to execute error notification, and then determine the code signal. The process ends.

  On the other hand, when the decorative sheet detection sensor 565e determines that the decorative sheet is accommodated in the door frame right side unit 550 (“YES” in step S511), the consistency between the game board and the decorative sheet is determined (step). S515).

  In step S515, the peripheral control board 1510 is inputted to the peripheral control board 1510 based on the code signal corresponding to the cut pattern of the decorative sheet and the cut pattern detected by the discrimination sensors 565a to 565d stored in advance. The peripheral control unit 1511 collates the received code signal with each other, and processing for determining consistency is executed.

  If it is determined by the peripheral control unit 1511 that the game board 5 and the decorative sheet are not aligned based on both code signals ("NO" in step S517), the process proceeds to step S513 to execute error notification After that, the code signal determination process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the peripheral control unit 1511 that the game board 5 and the decorative sheet are aligned based on both code signals (“YES” in step S517), the process proceeds to step S519, and the door frame Each LED board which raises the visibility of the decoration sheet accommodated in the right side unit 550 is caused to emit light, and the code signal determination process is ended.

  As described above, according to the configuration described in this example, it is determined whether or not the decoration sheet accommodated in the door frame right side unit 550 corresponds to the model of the game board 5 that is fitted and installed in the main body frame 4. Therefore, even if a situation occurs in which an incorrect decorative sheet that does not correspond to the model of the game board 5 is inserted due to a human error or the like, an error state is caused in the door frame right side unit 550. By turning off or blinking the LED board with the door frame right side decoration board 552 provided or notifying the staff in the hall of error information, the player is left with the wrong decoration sheet inserted, and the player Can prevent misunderstanding and discomfort.

  In the present example, the code signal determination process is described as being executed in the initial setting process performed by the peripheral control unit 1511 mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the sub-main process executed by the peripheral control unit 1511 may be performed in a 16 mS steady process executed every 16 mS.

  Further, regarding the determination of the decorative sheet in this example, a unique notch is provided at the lower end portion of the decorative sheet, and the determination sensors 565a to 565d detect the notch to determine the decorative sheet. However, this is merely an example for carrying out the present invention. For example, a unique code (for example, QR code (registered trademark)) is written on the lower end of the decorative sheet, and the decorative sheet discriminating member 565 is written. Inside, a leader part is installed, the decorative sheet is accommodated in the door frame right side unit 550, and the code and the leader part overlap in the front-rear direction, so that the leader part reads the code and the peripheral control part 1511 has consistency. A configuration of determining may be used, and various methods can be appropriately selected.

  Further, as another form in the determination of the decorative sheet, a plurality of contact switches that are turned on when a unique notch is provided at the lower end portion of the decorative sheet and the lower end portion not provided with the notch is in contact with each other. It is good also as what distinguishes a decoration sheet | seat by providing the state and detecting the state of each contact switch part. Specifically, in place of the discrimination sensors 565a to 565d, the switch “ON” or “OFF” is switched depending on whether or not the decorative sheet is in contact, so that the contact switch for discriminating the type is set on the decorative sheet determining member 565. Provided in four places inside. When the decorative sheet is accommodated therein, the portion not provided with the notch contacts the contact switch, and the portion provided with the notch does not contact. As a result, “ON” and “OFF” of the four contact switches are output to the peripheral control board 1510 as code signals, and the peripheral control unit 1511 determines whether or not the game board 5 is compatible with the model. Yes. According to this, even if the lower end of the decorative sheet is transparent, the decorative sheet can be determined.

[Second embodiment of decorative sheet]
As the types of decorative sheets (the right unit left decorative member 554 and the right unit right decorative member 557) accommodated in the door frame right side unit 550, a sheet (hereinafter referred to as a pattern sheet) in which a pattern can always be visually recognized or light is irradiated. In this example, a light guide that allows a picture drawn by irradiating light from the door frame right side decorative board 552 to be visible can be selected. The sheet is used as a decorative sheet.

  In addition, when the decorative sheet is housed in the door frame right side unit 550 and the light is not incident on the decorative sheet, the portion on which the pattern is drawn also has transparency. Is difficult to see. In order to make it easy to visually recognize the pattern, a door frame right side decorative board 552 on which a plurality of LEDs are arranged is used. The door frame right side decorative board 552 of this example directly enters light from behind on the decorative sheet, and is disposed at a position facing the decorative sheet side 554a in the door frame right side unit 550. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIGS. 128 to 133.

  FIG. 128 (A) is a perspective view of the right unit left decorative member 554 as viewed from the front. (B) is the perspective view which looked at the right unit left decoration member 554 from back. (C) is the perspective view which looked at the right unit right decoration member 557 from the front. (D) is the perspective view which looked at the right unit right decoration member 557 from back.

In the decorative sheet of this example, the side portion 554a and the side portion 557a facing the door frame right side decorative substrate 552 are “side portions”, and the outer surface portion 554b and the outer surface portion 557b correspond to “surface portions”.
Further, the outer surface portion 554b and the outer surface portion 557b do not include the lower end portions (the portions where the notches are provided) of the right unit left decorative member 554 and the right unit right decorative member 557 described later.
Further, the right unit left decorative member 554 is a light guide sheet on which a picture is exposed toward the player side, and the right unit right decorative member 557 is a light guide on which a picture is exposed toward the opposite side of the player. It is a sheet.
Since the right unit left decorative member 554 and the right unit right decorative member 557 have the same structure, the right unit right decorative member 557 is described here, and the description of the right unit left decorative member 554 is omitted.

  For example, in the case where a light-transmitting light guide sheet having no pattern or the like is used as a decorative sheet, when light enters the decorative sheet from the side portion 557a, the light does not exit from the outer surface portion 557b. , And comes out from the end portion on the opposite side of the side portion 557a. This is due to the property that light repeats total reflection inside the decorative sheet. In the decorative sheet of this example, a process for changing the reflection angle of light at the time of total reflection is applied to the outer surface portion 557b, and by the process, the manufacturer logo of the pachinko machine 1 and the player on the game board 5 The logo is decorated in line with the production concept presented in. As a result, light comes out from the outer surface portion 557b of the decorative sheet, and the design can be exposed.

Next, a structure in which the decoration processed into the decoration sheet emerges when light is applied to the side portion 557a by the door frame right side decoration substrate 552 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 129 is a view for explaining a light path in the right unit right decorative member 557. FIG.

The inner surface portion 557c of the right unit right decorative member 557 is formed with fine line-shaped uneven portions 557d by processing, and light is incident from the side portion 557a by the door frame right side decorative substrate 552, and the light is shown in FIG. As shown in the light path L1 and the light path L2 of 129, when the total reflection is repeated in the right unit right decoration member 557 and the light travels to the uneven part 557d, the incident angle is changed by the uneven part 557d, so that it is diffusely reflected. The light is emitted from the outer surface portion 557b. Therefore, due to the presence of the concavo-convex portion 557d, the pattern processed on the right unit right decorative member 557 (see FIG. 128) is visibly raised.
In FIG. 129, for convenience of explanation, the size of the uneven portion 557d with respect to the thickness of the right unit right decorative member 557 is shown larger than the actual size.

Next, the form of the door frame right side unit 550 of this example is demonstrated using FIG.
FIG. 130 is a perspective view showing a state in which the door frame right side unit 550 is disassembled. The door frame right side unit 550 includes a decorative sheet discriminating member 565, a right unit right cover 558, a right unit left cover 555, a partition plate 566, and a door frame right side decorative substrate 552. The partition plate 566 and the right unit right side A right unit right decorative member 557 is disposed between the cover 558 and a right unit left decorative member 554 is disposed between the partition plate 566 and the right unit left cover 555. Further, since the decorative sheet is a transparent member as described above, the partition plate 566 employs a member having a low light transmittance. If the partition plate 566 is a member having a high light transmittance, when the plurality of LEDs arranged on the door frame right side decorative substrate 552 emit light, the right unit left decorative member 554 and the right unit right decorative member This is because the pattern with 557 appears to overlap.

  The door frame right side decorative substrate 552 is disposed to face the side portions (side portions 554a and 557a) of the decorative sheet and the side portions (described later) of the partition plate 566, and the irradiated light is the decorative sheet. It is the structure which injects into the side part and the side part of the partition plate 566. The door frame right side decorative board 552 includes LED boards 5520a to 5520d, and the LEDs arranged in each row correspond to the two decorative sheets and the partition plate 491c. The LED board 5520a is a side part 554a of the right unit left decorative member 554, the LED board 5520b is a side part 566a on the right unit left cover 555 side of the partition plate 566, and the LED board 5520c is a right unit right cover 558 of the partition plate 566. The side part 566a on the side and the LED board 5520d correspond to the side part 557a of the right unit right decorative member 557, respectively, and can emit light individually.

  Also in the decorative sheet of this example, the notch pattern provided on the lower end portion of the decorative sheet and the determination sensors 565a to 565d provided on the decorative sheet determination member 565 correspond to the model of the gaming machine. It is determined whether or not a decorative sheet is inserted. Since the lower end of the decorative sheet is also transmissive like the other parts, the light receiving element detects the light emitted by the light projecting element even if the part that has not been cut out faces the judgment sensor. Therefore, the surface of the lower end portion is processed to make fine irregularities so that light from the light projecting element is blocked.

Further, in the interior of the decorative sheet discriminating member 565, at a location facing the lower end of the decorative sheet, it is determined whether the decorative sheet accommodated in the door frame right side unit 550 is a pattern sheet or a light guide sheet. A sheet type discrimination sensor 565f (optical sensor) for discrimination is provided. When the accommodated decorative sheet is a pattern sheet, the portion facing the sheet type discrimination sensor 565f when accommodated is an impermeable member, and “on” and “off” are set by facing the sheet type discrimination sensor. It is configured to be switched and detected. In the case of the light guide sheet, the sheet type discriminating sensor 565f is not detected by making the portion facing the sheet type discriminating sensor 565f when the light guide sheet is received be a transparent member.
That is, it is determined that the design sheet is accommodated in the door frame right side unit 550 by being detected by both the decorative sheet detection sensor 565e and the sheet type determination sensor 565f. On the contrary, when it is detected by the decorative sheet detection sensor 565e and not detected by the sheet type determination sensor 565f, it is determined that the light guide sheet is accommodated in the door frame right side unit 550.

  The door frame right side decorative board 552 is configured to switch the LED to emit light depending on whether the decorative sheet accommodated in the door frame right side unit 550 is a pattern sheet or a light guide sheet. When it is determined that the light guide sheet is accommodated, the LED substrates 5520a and 5520d emit light, irradiate the side portions (554a and 557a) of the light guide sheet, and are processed into the surface of the light guide sheet. Make the pattern appear. In addition, when it is determined that the pattern sheet is accommodated, the LED boards 5520b and 5520c emit light, and light is irradiated to the side portion 566a of the partition plate 566, and the player logo on the pachinko machine 1 and the player on the game board 5 Illuminated with a pattern sheet with a logo, etc. in line with the concept of presentation presented in Hereinafter, a configuration in the case where light enters the partition plate 566 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 131.

  FIG. 131 is a top view showing the internal structure of the partition plate 566, in which a reflecting plate 5661 having substantially the same shape as the partition plate is provided, and on the surface facing the inner surface portion 554c and the inner surface portion 557c of the decorative sheet. Is provided with a rough surface portion 5660. When light is incident from the side portion 566a, the light enters the partition plate 566, and is reflected toward the rough surface portion 5660 by moving toward the reflection plate 5661. When light travels to the rough surface portion 5660, the rough surface portion 5660 causes irregular reflection due to a change in incident angle, and light is emitted. Therefore, the presence of the rough surface portion 5660 illuminates the inner surface portions 554c and 557c of the right unit left decorative member 554 and the right unit right decorative member 557, thereby improving the visibility of the decoration drawn on the outer surface portions 554b and 557b. It can be used as a backlight. Thereby, since both a pattern sheet and a light guide sheet can be used as a decorative sheet, the versatility of advertisement using the door frame right side unit 550 can be enhanced.

  A structure for preventing light emitted from the plurality of LEDs provided on the door frame right side decorative board 552 from diffusing to a portion other than the corresponding member will be described with reference to FIG. . FIG. 132 (A) is a top view of the door frame right side unit 550.

  In the door frame right side decorative board 552, a light shielding plate 567 that does not transmit light is provided between the LED board 5520a and the LED board 5520b and between the LED board 5520c and the LED board 5520d (FIG. 132A). Reference), when the LED emits light, only the corresponding light guide sheet and partition plate 566 are irradiated with light emitted from the LED substrates 5520a to 5520d.

[Second embodiment of partition plate]
In addition, although the surface facing the inner surface part 554c and the inner surface part 557c of the decorative sheet in the partition plate 566 has been described as being provided with the rough surface part 5660, it is not limited thereto. The partition plate 566 in this example is an opaque plate member, and has a passage of light emitted from the LED substrate for overhanging therein. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIG.

FIG. 132 (b) is a top view showing the internal structure of the partition plate 566.
The partition plate 566 is a member for backlight that improves the visibility by allowing light to enter from the side portion 566a of the partition plate 566 when the pattern sheet of the decorative sheet is accommodated in the door frame right side unit 550. In order to use it, the light guide path 5661 which guides the light irradiated from the door frame right side decoration board | substrate 552 to the inner surface parts 554c and 557c of a decoration sheet is provided in the inside.
The light guiding path 5562 is a light incident portion 5663 that serves as an entrance for light emitted from the door frame right side decorative substrate 552 and a light exit portion 5664 that is an exit hole for guiding light to the inner surface portions 554c and 557c of the decorative sheet. The light incident on the light incident portion 5663 passes through the light guide path 5562 and exits from the light exit portion 5664, so that the light is guided to the inner surface portions 554c and 557c of the decorative sheet. .
The light exiting portion 5664 is provided as a large number of holes in the entire surface portion of the partition plate 566 (opposing the inner surface portions 554c and 557c of the decorative sheet), and illuminates the inner surface portions 554c and 557c of the decorative sheet as a whole, When viewed from the outer surface portions 554b and 557b, the visibility of the pattern is improved. Further, the light exit portion 5664 has a diameter that does not make the hole conspicuous when viewed, and looks like a so-called opaque plate member. Therefore, the light guide sheet having transparency is used as a decorative sheet, and the right side of the door frame. Even when it is accommodated in the unit 550, the visibility of the decorative sheet due to the large number of the light exit portions 5664 is not deteriorated.

  Further, the door frame right side unit 550 is not limited to one housing the right unit left decorative member 554 and the right unit right decorative member 557 one by one, and a plurality of decorative sheets are stacked (in this example, 3 Sheets) may be accommodated. As mentioned above, the light guide sheet has a structure in which the pattern emerges when light is incident from the side, so even when multiple decorative sheets are stacked and accommodated, each decorative sheet can be used. By arranging the LED substrate to be opposed to the side portion, it is possible to individually display the pattern. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIG.

FIG. 133 is a diagram showing only the right unit right decorative member 557 housed in the door frame right side unit 550 and the LED substrate corresponding to the right unit right decorative member 557 in the door frame right side decorative substrate 552.
In this example, a first light guide sheet 5574 processed with a pattern imitating a starry sky, a second light guide sheet 5575 processed with a pattern imitated fireworks, and a third light guide sheet processed with a pattern imitated a mountain range 5576 are stacked and accommodated between the right unit right cover 558 and the partition plate 566, and a door frame right side decorative board 552 is disposed facing the side of each decorative sheet.

The door frame right side decorative board 552 is configured to switch the target of which decorative sheet the light is incident on, depending on the gaming state.
For example, when the pachinko machine 1 is not played by a player or is played by a player, and in a normal gaming state, light is incident only on the third light guide sheet 5576, and a pattern imitating a mountain range To emerge. In addition, when the variation mode of the special symbol is variation with reach, the first light guide sheet 5574 is replaced with the third light guide sheet 5576 in response to the variation with reach. The light is incident and the pattern imitating the starry sky rises above the mountain range. Furthermore, when performing an effect indicating that the big hit state has been achieved, light is incident on the second light guide sheet 5575 instead of the first light guide sheet 5574, and a pattern imitating fireworks is brought up.

  As described above, the configuration in which the decorative sheet to which light is incident is switched depending on the gaming state, so that when the player or another hall customer visually recognizes the door frame right side unit 550, the current gaming state can be determined at a glance, By arranging a plurality of light guide sheets side by side, unlike a pattern sheet, it is possible to highlight a plurality of types of pattern patterns, so the production and promotion by the door frame right side unit 550 is not monotonous, It can be hard to get tired of.

  Further, the light may not be selectively incident on each of the decoration sheets. For example, the light may be incident on a plurality of decoration sheets according to the gaming state. When the pachinko machine 1 is not played by a player, or is played by a player, and in a normal gaming state, light is incident only on the third light guide sheet 5576 and a pattern imitating a mountain range is displayed. Make it appear. In addition, when the variation mode of the special symbol is variation with reach, in addition to the third light guide sheet 5576, the first light guide sheet 5574 is triggered by the fact that the variation with reach has been performed. The light is incident and the pattern imitating the starry sky rises above the mountain range. Furthermore, when performing an effect indicating that a big hit state has been achieved, light is incident on all the light guide sheets, and in addition to the mountains and the starry sky, a pattern imitating fireworks is raised.

As described above, as the gaming state becomes so-called hot, the number of designs that emerges increases. Because it is possible to let other hall customers know the direction of the production that suggests that there is a high probability of doing, and the effect of showing that it has become a big hit state, it is possible to collect the line of sight and select the pachinko machine 1 The property is also improved.
In addition, since each decorative sheet is accommodated in an overlapping manner, when light is incident on a plurality of decorative sheets, it appears as a three-dimensional pattern. Compared to the one that highlights the pattern on a single decorative sheet. And decorativeness is improved.

  In addition, since a plurality of decorative sheets can be stacked and accommodated, the right side unit of the door frame can be obtained by stacking the decorative sheet corresponding to the game board 5 model and the decorative sheet corresponding to the game board 5 model. If a common decorative sheet corresponding to the model of the game board 5 is accommodated, for example, if a decorative sheet corresponding to another model is mistakenly accommodated, the error information described above is stored in the hall. The light is incident on the corresponding common decorative sheet regardless of the model of the game board 5. As a result, even if an incorrect decorative sheet is accommodated, while notifying the hall staff of the error information that the incorrect decorative sheet is accommodated, it can be handled regardless of the model. Since it is possible for the player to visually recognize the image processed into the common decorative sheet, it is possible to prevent the wrong decorative sheet from being left inserted and to promote the door frame right side unit 550. Suppresses misunderstanding and discomfort without losing effect.

  As described above, the example in which the light guide sheet is used as the decoration sheet has been described. As a result, the design facing the door frame right side unit 550 changes like a slide show. It will be noticed by the hall customers, and the possibility that the pachinko machine 1 will be selected can be further improved. In addition, a decorative sheet on which light is incident optionally may be selected by a staff member of the hall, and various methods can be appropriately selected.

In addition, although the structure which uses sheet-like members, such as a pattern sheet and a light guide sheet, as a decoration sheet was demonstrated so far, it is not restricted to this, For example, using a plate-shaped decoration board (pattern board, light guide plate) Various configurations can be selected.
Further, the decorative sheet discriminating member 565, the right unit right cover 558, the right unit left cover 555, the partition plate 566 and the door frame right side decorative substrate 552 constituting the door frame right side unit 550 are all integrally formed. However, it may be formed by combining separate members, and can be selected as appropriate.

  In addition, light enters the door frame right side unit 550 due to illumination of the game hall or LED light emission other than the door frame right side decoration board 552, and the pattern processed into the decoration sheet is displayed on the decoration sheet (light guide sheet). In order not to let it come out, an opaque seal or a member is disposed at a place other than the side portions 554a and 557a, the outer surface portions 554b and 557b, and the inner surface portions 554c and 557c in the decorative sheet, so that light is not transmitted. . Thereby, although light is not irradiated by the door frame right side decoration board | substrate 552, the possibility that the pattern processed into the decoration sheet may appear can be prevented. In addition, the decorative sheet discriminating member 565 is formed of a member that does not transmit light, or the portions other than the outer surface portions 554b and 557b of the decorative sheet in the right unit left cover 555 and the right unit right cover 558 are transmitted light. As long as the configuration does not allow light to enter the decorative sheet other than the light emitting decoration by the door frame right side decorative board 552, various methods can be selected.

[3-8. Effect of door frame]
The effects of the door frame 3 will be described. The door frame 3 in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment has the through-holes 111 penetrating through the door frame base 110 in the door frame base unit 100 in the front and rear directions and in the vertical and horizontal directions as compared with the conventional pachinko machine. The height in the vertical direction of the plate unit 320 and the door frame top unit 570 is reduced in accordance with the enlargement of the through hole 111, and the horizontal width of the door frame left side unit 530 and the door frame right side unit 550 Is made smaller. Thereby, the front surface of the game board 5 (game area 5a) attached to the main body frame 4 can be seen as widely as possible from the player (front) through the through-hole 111 (glass unit 190). This corresponds to the game board 5 having a wide game area 5a.

  The door frame 3 includes an effect operation unit 400 having a large hemispherical operation button 410 at the center in the left-right direction of the dish unit 320 bulging forward on the lower side of the through-hole 111. The front surface of the lower half (the lower part of the upper plate 321) on both the left and right sides is recessed so as to bend backward (the front ends of the left and right ends of the plate unit 320, and the front ends of the left and right ends of the rendering operation unit 400) Rather than the straight line connecting the two, the front surface on both the left and right sides of the rendering operation unit 400 is formed in a concavely curved shape). As a result, the production operation unit 400 attached to the front surface at the center in the left-right direction of the plate unit 320 appears to protrude greatly forward, so that the production operation unit 400 is highlighted and shown to the player. It is possible to pay attention to the production operation unit 400.

  The door frame 3 tilts the presentation operation unit 400 disposed on the front surface of the dish unit 320 below the through-hole 111 so that the large hemispherical transparent operation button 410 faces obliquely upward and forward. Therefore, when the player sits in front of the pachinko machine 1, the operation button 410 faces the player's head (face), and the player drops his line of sight and moves the rendering operation unit 400. When viewed, the operation button 410 can be seen in a state substantially close to the front, the large and round operation button 410 can be visually recognized strongly, and an expectation can be enhanced for the effect using the operation button 410. At the same time, the effect picture design displayed on the door frame side effect display device 460 arranged in the transparent operation button 410 can be visually recognized in a good state, and the effect picture design is sufficiently displayed. It is possible to entertain.

  Further, since the door frame 3 includes the operation button 410 having a large diameter substantially the same as the overall height of the dish unit 320 and bulging forward, the short distance of the player's hand when the operation button 410 is operated. Thus, any part of the operation button 410 can be touched, and the operation button 410 can be “fast pressed” relatively easily. In addition, since the operation button 410, which has a large diameter and bulges forward, is mounted in an inclined state, it can be pressed from above like the operation buttons of a conventional pachinko machine, and can be operated to the left or right. The operation button 410 can be operated satisfactorily or from the front, and the operation buttons 410 having good operability can be more enjoyed.

  In addition, the door frame 3 is mounted with the stage operation unit 400 in a suspended state by the dish unit 320 and includes a vibration motor 424 that generates vibration at the lower part of the stage operation unit 400. When vibration is generated by rotating the vibration motor 424 in accordance with the state, strong vibration can be transmitted to the player's hand touching the upper part of the operation button 410, and the player can be surprised by the operation button. The production using 410 can be further enjoyed.

  Furthermore, since the door frame 3 is provided with a large operation button 410 (production operation unit 400) over the entire height of the plate unit 320 in the center of the front surface of the plate unit 320, the upper plate 321 is compared with a conventional pachinko machine. Because the lower plate 322 underneath is inconspicuous, it can make it easier for players who are familiar with conventional pachinko machines to recognize that they are clearly different, and appeal to the players strongly. A powerful pachinko machine 1 can be obtained.

  Further, the door frame 3 is formed so that the lower plate 322 wraps around the rear side of the production operation unit 400 with respect to the lower plate opening 326d that is opened on the left side of the production operation unit 400 on the front surface of the plate unit 320. Therefore, the volume of the lower plate 322 can be increased with respect to the size of the lower plate opening 326d, and a sufficient number of game balls can be secured in the lower plate 322. In addition, since the rear part of the lower plate 322 wraps around to the rear side of the production operation unit 400, when the player puts his left hand into the lower plate 322 or puts his / her finger on the lower plate opening 326d. Since it becomes difficult for the fingertips to touch the wall behind the lower plate 322, it is possible to make it difficult to give the player a sense of incongruity, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the game and to increase the size of the lower plate opening 326d. Compared to this, it can be recognized by tactile sense that the volume of the lower plate 322 is large.

  Further, the door frame 3 has a lower tray ball supply port 323c through which game balls from the upper plate 321 are discharged to the lower plate 322, and a bottom for pulling out the game balls of the lower plate 322 into a dollar box or the like below the plate unit 320. The countersunk hole 322a is arranged linearly in the front-rear direction, and is arranged on the right outside of the lower dish opening 326d in the front view (on the right side of the left end of the frame unit 415 of the rendering operation unit 400). That is, the lower tray ball supply port 323c and the lower tray ball removal hole 322a are connected to the rendering operation unit 400, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a (the right outer side of the lower tray opening 326d) in the tray unit cover 326, and the front end of the lower tray cover 340. Since the lower dish ball supply port 323c and the lower dish ball removal hole 322a are not visible from the player side, the appearance of the dish unit 320 (pachinko machine 1) can be refreshed. The appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved.

  Further, since the door frame 3 has a lower dish ball removal hole 322a disposed in front of the lower dish ball supply port 323c (directly in front) in the lower dish 322, the lower dish ball removal button 333 is pressed and operated. Assuming that the lower dish ball hole 322a is opened, the game balls released from the upper dish 321 and the like to the lower dish 322 are immediately discharged from the lower dish ball hole 322a to the lower dollar box and the like when entering the lower dish 322. Will be. At this time, the player cannot see the lower tray ball supply port 323c and the lower tray ball removal hole 322a. I can't see it. Accordingly, the player can have an illusion that the game ball on the upper plate 321 or the game ball discharged from the payout device 830 in a state where the upper plate 321 is full is directly discharged to the dollar box. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the game ball to feel the annoyance that passes through the lower plate 322, and to suppress the decline in the interest by dedicating the player to the game (gaming operation of the game ball, directing picture, etc.) Can do.

  In addition, the door frame 3 has a lower plate ball removal hole 322a disposed at the front left side of the lower plate ball supply port 323c in the lower plate 322, and the lower plate 322 standing on the right side of the lower plate ball removal hole 322a. Since the raised wall portion is obliquely curved so as to face the direction of the dishball hole 322a, the game balls supplied from the lower dishball supply port 323c to the lower dish 322 are directly removed. It can be guided to the hole 322a or can be indirectly guided to the lower dish ball removal hole 322a by being reflected on the right wall. As a result, in a state where the lower dish ball removal hole 322a remains open, the game ball supplied from the lower dish ball supply port 323c to the lower dish 322 is an area on the left side of the lower dish ball removal hole 322a in the lower dish 322. Since it can be discharged downward from the lower tray ball removal hole 322a without intruding into the lower tray 322, the game ball circulating in the lower tray 322 is displayed below the lower tray 322 (dollar box) without showing the player. Can be discharged, and the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  Further, the door frame 3 includes a lower plate opening 326d of the plate unit cover 326 facing the front of the lower plate 322 between the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a (the effect operation unit 400) and the lower speaker opening 326e. Therefore, even if the player puts his hand on the lower plate opening 326d or puts his hand on the lower plate 322, the front of the lower speaker port 326e is not blocked by the player's hand. The sound from the speaker 921 in the substrate unit 900 can be output well forward, and the sound from the pachinko machine 1 can be enjoyed. In addition, when the player puts his hand in the lower plate 322 or approaches the lower plate 322, the player can feel the vibration caused by the heavy bass from the speaker 921 output forward from the lower speaker port 326e, and the game Entertainers and suppress the decline of interest.

  Moreover, since the door frame 3 is provided with the door frame right side unit 550 which is plate-like and protrudes forward from the right side of the through-hole 111, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the island facility of the game hall, the door Since the frame right side unit 550 can exert an effect such as a partition with a pachinko machine adjacent to the right side, a player who plays with the pachinko machine 1 can play in a private room. The game can be played in a relaxed atmosphere without bothering other players around you.

  Furthermore, the door frame 3 can be light-decorated on the front end and both left and right sides of the door frame right side unit 550 that is plate-like and protrudes greatly forward, so that the game hall installed with the pachinko machines 1 arranged side by side Even if the pachinko machine 1 is not located in front of the pachinko machine 1, the presence of the pachinko machine 1 can be informed from a distance such as from the side along the island facility, and the pachinko machine has a high appeal to the player. Machine 1 can be used.

  Further, the door frame 3 includes a top middle decorative member 576 that protrudes forward at the center in the left-right direction in the door frame top unit 570 on the upper side of the through-hole 111, and the front surfaces on both the left and right sides of the top middle decorative member 576, A shape that is recessed so as to squeeze backward (the top middle decorative member in the door frame top unit 570 rather than the straight line connecting the front ends of the left and right ends of the door frame top unit 570 and the front ends of the left and right ends of the top middle decorative member 576 576 is formed in a concavely curved shape so that the front surfaces of the left and right sides of 576 are located rearward. As a result, only the top middle decorative member 576 of the door frame top unit 570 appears to protrude greatly forward, so that the player can make the top middle decorative member 576 stand out and emphasized. The medium decorative member 576 can be strongly noted.

  When the movable piece member front 825 passes the shaft member 824 through the shaft hole 825b, the weight attaching portion 825e protruding from the outer periphery of the connecting portion 825d is rotated by its own weight so as to be positioned immediately below the shaft hole 825b. The movable piece 825a extends obliquely downward from the shaft hole 825b. Therefore, in the assembled state of the ball guiding unit 820, the connecting portion 825d is inserted into the notch portion 821g of the front case 821, the lower end of the movable piece 825a protrudes into the guiding passage 821c, and the stopper piece 825g It will be in the state contact | abutted to the outer wall of the guidance path 821c (detection part 821e). When the stopper piece 825g abuts against the outer wall of the guide passage 821c, the lower end of the movable piece 825a is restricted from rotating further in the direction protruding into the guide passage 821c (left direction in front view). Further, when the movable piece member front 825 rotates the lower end of the movable piece 825a in a direction approaching the wall of the guide passage 821c (right direction in front view), the left side surface of the movable piece 825a becomes the guide passage 821c. It matches the inner surface. In this state, the detection piece 825f in front of the movable piece member 825 is in a non-detection state with respect to the ball breakage detection sensor 827. That is, when there is a game ball in the guide passage 821c, the ball break detection sensor 827 is not detected.

  The movable piece member rear 826 includes a flat plate-like movable piece 826a extending vertically, a shaft hole 826b penetrating forward and rearward at the upper end of the right surface of the movable piece 826a, and a movable piece 826a.

Is provided with a stopper piece 826g, the.

  When the movable piece member rear 826 passes the shaft member 824 through the shaft hole 826b, the weight attaching portion 826e protruding from the outer periphery of the connecting portion 826d is rotated by its own weight so as to be positioned immediately below the shaft hole 826b. Then, the movable piece 826a extends obliquely downward from the portion of the shaft hole 826b. Therefore, in the assembled state of the ball guiding unit 820, the connecting portion 826d is inserted into the notch 822g of the rear case 822, and the lower end of the movable piece 826a protrudes into the guiding passage 822c, and the stopper piece 826g It will be in the state contact | abutted to the outer wall of the guidance path 822c (detection part 822e). When the stopper piece 826g abuts against the outer wall of the guide passage 822c, the lower end of the movable piece 826a is restricted from further rotating in the direction protruding into the guide passage 822c (left direction in front view). Further, when the movable piece member rear 826 rotates the lower end of the movable piece 826a in a direction approaching the wall of the guide passage 822c (right direction in front view), the left side surface of the movable piece 826a is moved to the guide passage 822c. It matches the inner surface. In this state, the detection piece 826f after the movable piece member 826 is in a non-detection state with respect to the ball breakage detection sensor 827. That is, when there is a game ball in the guide passage 822c, the ball break detection sensor 827 is not detected.

  The ball guiding unit 820 of the present embodiment is supplied with a plurality of game balls arranged in a line in the front and rear directions by the tank rail 803, and the front case 821 and the rear case in a state where the plurality of game balls are arranged in a line. By 822, it is possible to guide to the lower dispensing device 830 in two rows before and after (see FIG. 113). At this time, since the front case 821 and the rear case 822 are partitioned by the partition plate 823, the game balls flowing through the respective guide passages 821c and 822c do not interfere with each other and flow well. Can do.

  Further, when the game ball flows through the guide passages 821c and 822c of the ball guide unit 820, the game ball comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a and 826a of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826, and the movable pieces 825a and 826a are moved. The movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 rotate in a direction coinciding with the wall surfaces of the guide passages 821c and 822c. Thereby, the detection pieces 825f and 826f before the movable piece member 825 and the detection piece 825f and 826f after the movable piece member 826 are in a non-detection state with respect to the ball break detection sensor 827, and it can be seen that there is a game ball in the guide passages 821c and 822c.

  When the game ball is paid out by the payout device 830 on the downstream side of the ball guidance unit 820, the game balls in the guide passages 821c and 822c flow downstream. When a game ball flows through the guide passages 821c and 822c, the momentum of the game ball flowing through the introduction portions 821d and 822d is increased, and the game ball flowing through the introduction portions 821d and 822d is movable pieces above the detection portions 821e and 822e. It bounces back to the side of 825a, 826a and comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a, 826a. Since the movable pieces 825a and 826a vibrate due to the abutment of the game ball, the movable pieces 825a and 826a vibrate between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the notches 821g and 822g of the guide passages 821c and 822c. It is possible to remove dust, dust, etc., and the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be rotated favorably by their own weight or the like.

  In addition, the ball guiding unit 820 detects the game balls flowing through the respective guide passages 821c and 822c by the separate movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826, respectively, and the movable piece member front 825 and Since each of the detection pieces 825f and 826f after the movable piece member 826 is detected by one ball breakage detection sensor 827, when there is no game ball in any of the guide passages 821c and 822c, The movable pieces 825a and 826a of the movable piece member 825 or the movable piece member 826 are rotated so as to protrude into the guide passages 821c and 822c. The Therefore, since it is possible to detect a shortage of the game ball at an early stage, it is possible to quickly replenish the game ball and shorten the time when the game is interrupted as much as possible, thereby reducing the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

  Further, the weight of the movable piece member front 825, the movable piece member rear 826, and the weight is obtained by screwing and attaching a metal screw as a weight to the weight attaching portions 825e, 826e of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826. Thus, the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be easily rotated in the direction of protruding into the guide passages 821c and 822c. Further, since the upper ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a are rotatably attached to the outside of the guide passages 821c and 822c, and the lower end side protrudes into the guide passages 821c and 822c, the dust in the guide passages 821c and 822c. And dust do not adhere to the upper and lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, even if the movable pieces 825a and 826a rotate to the wall side of the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust, dust, or the like does not bite between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the wall. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a problem that the movable pieces 825a and 826a do not rotate.

  As described above, the ball guiding unit 820 of the present embodiment has the movable piece front 825 and the movable pieces 825a and 826a behind the movable piece member 826 projecting into the guide passages 821c and 822c through which the game balls flow due to their own weight. By attaching weights made of metal screws to weight attachment portions 825e, 826e on the opposite side of the surface that comes into contact with the game ball, the movable piece member 825 and the movable piece member rear part 826 are moved according to their own weight and weight weight. The lower end side of 825a, 826a can be easily rotated (projected) into the guide passages 821c, 822c. In addition, since the upper ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a are rotatably attached to the outside of the guide passage 822c and the lower end side protrudes into the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust and dirt in the guide passages 821c and 822c can be obtained. Or the like does not adhere to the upper and lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, even if the movable pieces 825a and 826a rotate to the wall side of the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust, dust, or the like does not bite between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the wall. The movable pieces 825a and 826 (the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826) can be prevented from rotating.

  Further, since the metal screw as the weight is screwed into and attached to the weight attaching portions 825e and 826e formed as the through holes, the weight is not affected even if the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 are rotated frequently. The movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 (the weight attaching portions 825e and 826e) are not detached from each other, and the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 can be maintained in a good state for a long time. . Moreover, since the weight can be easily attached to the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 simply by screwing the metal screw into the weight attachment portions 825e and 826e, the labor for attaching the weight can be simplified. The cost associated with the assembly of the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

  Further, the guide passages 821c and 822c are provided with an introduction portion 822d for guiding the game ball toward the movable pieces 825a and 825c on the upstream side of the portion where the movable pieces 825a and 825c protrude to the inside. As the game ball flows in the passages 821c and 822c, the game ball comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be vibrated by the contact of the game balls. Therefore, the vibrations of the movable pieces 825a and 826a can remove dust or dirt that is sandwiched or invaded between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the walls of the guide passages 821c and 822c. The front piece 825 and the rear piece 826 of the movable piece can be favorably rotated.

  Therefore, since the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 can be rotated well, the state (presence / absence) of the game ball in the guide passages 821c and 822c can be detected reliably, and the game ball It is possible to suppress the occurrence of problems due to erroneous detection or the like. In addition, even if the game balls supplied to the payout device 830 disappear from the guide passages 821c and 822c, the presence or absence of the guide passages 821c and 822c can be reliably detected via the movable pieces 825a and 826a. The game ball can be replenished to the player, and the time at which the game is interrupted can be shortened as much as possible, thereby suppressing a decrease in the interest of the player.

  The discharge vane 839 extends in a cylindrical shape in the front and rear direction, and protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the base cylinder portion 839a from the front end of the base cylinder portion 839a at a constant interval from the front end of the base cylinder portion 839a. The plurality of (three) front blades 839b and the front blades 839b from the rear end of the base tube portion 839a are alternately projected in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the base tube portion 839a at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. 3) Rear blade 839c, and a connected portion that protrudes forward from the front end of the base cylindrical portion 839a in a cylindrical shape and has concavities and convexities that can be connected to the connecting portion 387c of the driven gear 837 on the peripheral surface of the front end. 839d.

  Three front blades 839b and three rear blades 839c of the discharge blade 839 are provided at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. It is offset outward at an angle of 60 degrees in the direction and extends outward. The payout blade 839 of the present embodiment is connected by a circular arc that is recessed toward the center between the three front blades 839b (rear blades 839c), and the diameter of the circular arc is the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball. Thereby, between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c), a ball housing portion 839e capable of housing only one game ball is formed.

  Further, the three front blades 839b and the rear blades 839c are formed such that the outer diameter D1 of the base cylinder portion 839a is 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball. Further, the diameter D2 around the axis of the base cylinder portion 839a up to the portion closest to the axis of the base cylinder portion 839a in the arc portion (sphere housing portion 839e) between the front blades 839b (rear blade 839c). Is formed about 0.3 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball. That is, the depth [(diameter D1−diameter D2) / 2] from the outer periphery of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c to the most recessed portion of the ball housing portion 839e is 0.1-0. It is supposed to be 4 times.

  Therefore, it is possible to hold about 3/10 (between 1/4 and 1/3) of the outer periphery of the game ball by the arc portion (the ball housing portion 839e) between the front blades 839b (the rear blades 839c). it can. In other words, a depth of about 1/5 (1/7 to 1/4) of the outer diameter of the game ball can be accommodated. Thereby, the game balls in the payout passages 831d and 832d can be quickly accommodated between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c) (the ball housing portion 839e).

  With the dispensing blade 839 of the present embodiment, the front blade 839b is located in the dispensing passage 831d of the front box 831 and the rear blade 839c is located in the dispensing passage 832d of the rear box 832 in a state where the dispensing device 830 is assembled. The game balls in the payout paths 831d and 832d can be paid out, respectively. Further, the payout vanes 839 are disposed in portions that are bent in a crank shape below the center of the total height of the front case 821 and the rear box 832 in the payout passages 831d and 832d. Specifically, in the payout passages 831d and 832d, the center of rotation of the payout vane 839 is located immediately below a portion extending vertically downward from the vicinity of the center of the entire height of the front case 821 and the rear box 832. In the portion of the discharge passages 831d and 832d that are bent in a crank shape, the wall (inner wall) on the side far from the discharge blade 839 is centered on the rotation center of the discharge blade 839, and from the outer periphery of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c. It is formed in a circular arc shape separated by a distance S smaller than the outer diameter of the game ball (see FIG. 95). In the present embodiment, the distance S is 0.7 to 0.9 times the outer diameter of the game ball. In other words, the distance from the most recessed portion of the ball housing portion 839e to the arc-shaped portions of the payout passages 831d and 832d is 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the game ball. .

  As a result, the payout device 830 can pass through the portion of the payout passages 831d and 832d bent in a crank shape when the game ball flowing down on the payout blade 839 abuts the outer periphery of the front blades 839b and 839c. Therefore, it is not discharged downward from the payout outlets 831b and 832b. On the other hand, when the game ball is accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e, the game ball moves along with the rotation of the payout blade 839, and can pass through the portion bent in the crank shape of the payout passages 831d and 832d, from the payout outlets 831b and 832b. Released downwards.

  In the payout device 830, the diameter D1 of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c is about 1.2 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball, and the ball housing portion 839e has a diameter 1 of the game ball. Since the depth of / 7 to ¼ is accommodated, the time required to accommodate the game ball can be shortened while reducing the outer diameter of the payout vane 839 as much as possible. Thereby, even if the payout blade 839 is rotated rapidly, the game ball can be accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e and sent to the payout outlets 831b and 832b. Accordingly, the number of game balls to be paid out per unit time can be increased as compared with the conventional case, and the time required for paying out game balls can be shortened.

  The ball-removable movable piece 843 extends in a plate shape in the vertical and front / rear direction, and a lower portion is bent to form a body shape in a front view, and extends in a cylindrical shape in the front / rear direction at the upper end of the main body portion 843a. A shaft tube portion 843b whose both ends are rotatably attached to the front box 831 and the rear box 832, respectively, a protruding portion 843c protruding from the upper portion of the outer surface of the main body portion 843a that is bent in a square shape, and a protruding portion 843c A weight attaching portion 843d (see FIG. 105) including a through-hole penetrating in the front-rear direction in a lower portion bent in a square shape.

  In the state where the dispensing device 830 is assembled, the ball removal movable piece 843 is oriented so that the lower portion of the main body portion 843a extends obliquely to the lower left when viewed from the front, and the upper cylindrical tube portion 843b is disposed to eject the front box 831 and the rear box 832. In the passages 831d and 832d, it is possible to turn at a position that extends obliquely from the pay-out entrances 831a and 832a to the lower right in the front view, and slightly outside the wall on the right in the front view that is slightly above the part that bends downward. Installed on.

  In the normal state, the payout device 830 of the present embodiment is configured such that the ball removal lever 844 is slid downward, and the lower portion of the ball removal lever 844 contacts the protrusion 843c of the ball removal movable piece 843 from the right side in front view. Touching. As a result, the ball removal movable piece 843 is restricted from turning counterclockwise when viewed from the front (see FIG. 105A).

  In this normal state, in the main body portion 843a bent in the shape of a square of the ball extraction movable piece 843, the upper side extends vertically from the bent portion, and the lower side of the bent portion is diagonally lower left in front view. It extends to. And the lower end of the main-body part 843a is located in the vicinity of the site | part which the payout channel | paths 831d and 832d and the ball extraction channel | paths 831e and 832e branch. Therefore, the ball removal passages 831e and 832e are closed by the ball removal movable piece 843 (main body portion 843a), and the surface facing the left side of the main body portion 843a forms a part of the wall of the discharge passages 831d and 832d. doing.

  The ball removal movable piece 843 of the present embodiment is formed such that, in a normal state, the center of gravity of the ball removal movable piece 843 is located on the left side of the vertical line passing through the center of the shaft tube portion 843b. Although a force to rotate counterclockwise as viewed from the front acts on the anti-clockwise rotation by the ball removal lever 844, the normal state is maintained.

  When the ball removal lever 844 is slid upward from the normal state, the lower portion of the ball removal lever 844 moves away from the protruding portion 843c of the ball removal movable piece 843, and the ball removal movable piece 843 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front. Movement restrictions are lifted. Accordingly, the ball-moving movable piece 843 is rotated counterclockwise by its own weight so that the center of gravity is located directly below the shaft tube portion 843b. The ball removal movable piece 843 rotates counterclockwise until the lower right side surface of the main body portion 843a contacts the left surface of the member forming the right side surface of the front box 831 and the rear box 832. (See FIG. 94 (b)). Accordingly, the ball removal passages 831e and 832e are opened, and the game ball that has entered from the payout entrances 831a and 832a comes into contact with the main body portion 843a of the ball removal movable piece 843 in the middle of the payout passages 831d and 832d. The ball removal movable piece 843 is rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the front to open the ball removal passages 831e and 832e, and flows through the opened ball removal passages 831e and 832e and is released downward from the ball removal outlets 831c and 832c. The Rukoto.

  In the present embodiment, since the ball removal movable piece 843 includes the weight attachment portion 843d, the ball attachment lever 844d is slid upward by screwing and attaching a weight made of a metal screw to the weight attachment portion 843d. Thus, when the restriction of counterclockwise rotation in front view is released, the lower end of the ball removal movable piece 843 protrudes into the ball removal passages 381e and 832e by the weight of the ball removal movable piece 843 and the weight of the weight. It is possible to facilitate rotation in a direction (counterclockwise in a front view).

  Further, in a normal state where the ball removal lever 844 is slid downward to close the ball removal passages 831e and 832e, a game ball that has entered from the payout inlets 831a and 832a enters the main body portion 843a of the ball removal movable piece 843. Since the contact is made, the ball removal movable piece 843 can be vibrated by the contact of the game ball. Accordingly, dust or dirt sandwiched or invaded between the lower end of the ball removal movable piece 843 and the inner surfaces of the ball removal passages 831e and 832e can be removed by the vibration of the ball removal movable piece 843. It is possible to prevent the ball removal movable piece 843 from becoming unable to rotate by biting or dust.

  Further, since a metal screw as a weight can be screwed into and attached to the weight attaching portion 843d that is a through hole, the weight is removed from the ball-moving movable piece 843 even if the ball-moving movable piece 843 rotates frequently. The ball removal movable piece 843 can be maintained in a good state over a long period of time without being disengaged from the (weight attaching portion 843d). Further, since the weight can be easily attached to the ball removing movable piece 843 simply by screwing the metal screw into the weight attaching portion 843d, the labor for attaching the weight can be simplified, and the pachinko machine 1 can be assembled. The cost which concerns on can be reduced.

  By the way, if the ball removal passages 831e and 832e are closed for a long time by the ball removal movable piece 843, fine dust adheres to the rotation shaft of the ball removal movable piece 843 or the rotation shaft rusts, and the ball The extraction movable piece 843 may become difficult to rotate. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the game balls that have entered from the payout entrances 831a and 832a are brought into contact with the main body portion 843a of the ball removal movable piece 843. Therefore, the ball removal passage 831e is formed by the ball removal movable piece 843. , 832e from the closed state, when the ball release lever 844 for releasing the closure is slid upward to release the lock, the game ball comes into contact with the ball release movable piece 843, so that the impact of the contact The ball removal movable piece 843 can be rotated, and the ball removal passages 831e and 832e can be reliably opened.

  Therefore, when the ball removal lever 844 is operated to open the ball removal passages 831e and 832e, the ball removal movable piece 843 can be rotated satisfactorily, so that the game ball can be removed with certainty. The workability during maintenance and the like can be improved.

The through-ball passage 273 and the full tank receiving port 274 of the foul cover unit 270 in the door frame 3 are located on the front side of the front end opening of the guide path 862, and the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862 are penetrated from the side. A game ball can be delivered to the ball passage 273 and the full tank receiving port 274 side.

  In this way, the front end openings of the normal guideway 861 and the full tank guideway 862 are made different in the vertical direction, and the front end openings of the normal guideway 861 and the full tank guideway 862 are made by turning the guideway opening / closing door 863. Since opening and closing is performed, the operation range of the guideway opening / closing door 863 can be made as narrow as possible, and the opening / closing mechanism of the normal guideway 861 and the full-way guideway 862 can be downsized. Therefore, the space for other members can be relatively widened, and the internal space of the pachinko machine 1 can be used more effectively.

  The payout unit 800 of the present embodiment has more game balls from the payout device 830 in a state where the upper plate 321 of the door frame 3 is filled with game balls and the game balls cannot be released to the upper plate 321. Is paid out, the game balls can be stored until the inside of the normal guiding path 861 of the lower full tank path unit 860 is filled with game balls. When a game ball is further paid out from the payout device 830 in a state where the normal guiding path 861 is full of game balls, the game ball is normally released in the upper ball storage passage 850c of the upper full ball path unit 850. If it stays above the outlet 850d and exceeds the partition piece 850f, it will circulate to the full tank outlet 850e side, and the full tank guide path 862 of the lower full ball path unit 860 from the full tank outlet 850e, The payout of game balls through the foul cover unit 270 to the lower plate 322 is automatically switched. Thereafter, when the game balls are further paid out from the payout device 830 and the lower plate 322 is filled with the game balls in addition to the upper plate 321, the foul cover unit 270 is not able to supply the game balls to the lower plate 322. A game ball is stored in the storage passage 277. When the movable piece 278 is rotated by the storage of the game ball in the storage passage 277 and detected by the full tank detection sensor 279, the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322 are full of game balls. And the payout of the game ball by the payout device 830 is temporarily stopped until the detection of the movable piece 278 by the full tank detection sensor 279 is released.

  Note that the stop of the game ball payout by the payout device 830 with respect to the detection of the movable piece 278 by the full tank detection sensor 279, for example, the game ball is stored until the movable piece 278 is detected in the storage passage 277 of the foul cover unit 270. In such a state, it is possible to fill the upstream storage passage 277, the full tank guide path 862 of the lower full sphere path unit 860, and the upper sphere storage path 850c of the upper full tank path unit 850. When the game ball is paid out, the payout of the game ball by the payout device 830 may be stopped. As a result, more game balls can be stored than in conventional pachinko machines, so that in a gaming state in which many game balls are paid out, such as during a big hit game, the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322 are released by the game balls being paid out. It is possible to reduce the need to worry about being filled with game balls, and to allow the player to concentrate on the big hit game and have fun.

Other configurations including a structure for positioning and fixing when assembling the panel plate 1160 with the front structural member 1000 and the panel holder 1120 such as the thickness of the panel plate 1160 and the fitting hole 1113 are the same as those of the panel plate 1110. It is.

As described above, [Other Example 1] is a technical idea in which the panel plate 1160 itself of the game panel 1100 in the game board 5 is used as a light guide plate. Then, when the game by the player progresses and a predetermined condition is satisfied, the plurality of LEDs 1163 around the panel plate 1160 are turned on all at once, and light can be guided to the panel plate 1160 without any excess by projection from multiple directions, A pattern or message 1161 with fine irregularities formed in the center of the panel board 1160 is clearly displayed in front of the game board side effect display device 1600.
The pattern or message 1161 due to the fine unevenness due to the light guide effect overlaps with the moving image displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 when viewed from the player side, and is positioned in front of these patterns. Since it looks three-dimensional, it is an interesting production. Further, since the picture or message 1161 by the light guide effect has a translucent and vague feeling, such an effect is rich in suggestions that make it seem to be a sign of a jackpot.
In addition, since a separate light guide plate is not disposed between the rear surface of the panel plate 1160 and the game board side effect display device 1600, the panel plate 1160 is used in spite of the game board 5 utilizing the light guide effect. There is a margin in the rear space (the internal space of the back unit 3000).

On the other hand, the LED 1163 attached to the peripheral edge of the panel plate 1160 is, as illustrated in FIG. It is preferable to select a place where there is no embedding part (insertion attachment part) or the like of the winning device and to arrange it as evenly as possible. However, if there is a portion that is difficult to guide light, the arrangement interval of the LEDs 1163 may be narrowed to increase the light guide amount. For this reason, the arrangement of the LEDs 1163 is not limited to equidistant portions.
The LED 1160 as the light source can be selected from any color light other than white. Further, not only lighting of the plurality of LEDs 1163 but also a combination of flashing, lighting and flashing is conceivable.

  FIG. 137 is a partially enlarged view showing a configuration in which the LEDs 1163 are arranged on the peripheral edge (end face) of the panel plate 1160. Furthermore, a storage hole 1162 for storing the LED 1163 is formed from the wiring groove 1169 toward the center of the panel plate 1160. Reference numeral 1170 denotes a belt-like lead wire, and a plurality of LEDs 1163 are connected at intervals. The strip lead wire 1170 is connected to the LED driving section of the peripheral control board 1510 and is under the control of the peripheral control section 1151 in the peripheral control board 1150. The housing hole 1162 may not be particularly required when the LED 1163 attached to the strip-shaped lead wire 1170 is small and the position of the LED 1163 is determined when the strip-shaped lead wire 1170 is disposed in the wiring groove 1169.

  As another example of disposing the LEDs 1163 on the peripheral edge (end surface) of the panel plate 1160, the LEDs 1163 may be disposed on a frame-shaped panel holder 1120 that holds the outer periphery of the panel plate 1110. That is, the LEDs 1163 may be arranged at predetermined intervals on the panel holder 1120 so as to face the peripheral end surface (side surface) of the panel plate 1160 so that the light can enter the peripheral end surface (side surface) of the panel plate 1160. In this case, special molding (such as the wiring groove 1169) for disposing the LED 1163 on the peripheral edge (end surface) of the panel board 1160 is not necessary, and the design of the gaming machine can be facilitated, and the panel holder 1120 and the LED 1163 can be diverted. Thus, the cost can be reduced when the panel plate 1160 is changed to another panel plate having a light guide property.

[5-2c. Other example 2 of game panel board]
Other example 2 of the panel board 1110 in the gaming panel 1100 is such that, as shown in FIG. 138, a pattern or message 1161 with fine unevenness is arranged on the rear surface of the place where the obstacle nail and the winning opening on the peripheral edge of the panel board 1160 are arranged. And In the above [Other Example 1], a pattern or message 1161 with fine irregularities is arranged on the rear surface of the panel board 1160 on the rear surface of the obstacle nail near the center and where there are few winning holes, and the game board side effect display device 1600 However, since there are some players who do not like this overlap, a picture or message 1161 is arranged so as not to overlap the screen of the game board side effect display device 1600. In this way, while the screen of the game board side effect display device 1600 can be seen in the center of the game area 5a without being obstructed, it is due to the vague fine irregularities due to the light guide effect between the obstacle nails and winning holes in the peripheral portion. The pattern or message 1161 is in a state of being flickering. Unlike the case where the picture or the message 1161 is visible at the center of the game area as described above, this state is such that something appears to move in the movement area of the game ball. And its appearance can be made implicit in the progress of the game.
It should be noted that the arrangement, type, and number of patterns or messages 1161 due to fine irregularities on the panel board 1160 are arbitrary. Further, the LED 1163 can be arranged in the same manner as that shown in FIG. 137. Specifically, the wiring groove 1169 is provided in the peripheral edge (end surface) of the panel plate 1160, and the strip-shaped lead wire 1170 is provided here. A configuration in which the LED 1163 is placed with the LED 1163 placed, or a configuration in which the LED 1163 is placed in the panel holder 1120 can be employed.

[5-2d. Other example 3 of game panel board]
In other example 3 of the panel plate 1160 in the gaming panel 1100, as shown in FIGS. 139 and 140, the rear surface of the panel plate 1160 has a panel recess 1164 (recess) recessed from the rear surface side to the front surface side. A pattern or message 1161 with fine irregularities is formed on the bottom surface (concave surface) of the panel recess 1164. The panel recess 1164 is formed by a die or a cut-out, and in this example, the bottom surface is flat with a uniform depth. The depth is about 3 to 4 mm with respect to the plate thickness of 10 mm in consideration of the strength of the panel plate 1160. The LED 1163 arranged on the periphery of the panel plate 1160 can adopt the same configuration as that shown in FIG. 137. Specifically, the wiring groove 1169 is provided on the periphery (end surface) of the panel plate 1160, and the strip-shaped lead is provided here. A configuration in which the LED 1163 is disposed with the wire 1170 placed therein or a configuration in which the LED 1163 is disposed in the panel holder 1120 can be employed. In this example, the LED 1163 is positioned on the front side of the panel plate 1160 (the front side of the panel recess 1164) with respect to the thickness of the panel plate 1160 in order to improve the light guide in consideration of the presence of the panel recess 1164. (FIG. 140).

According to the configuration of the other example 3, the plate thickness of the portion where the pattern or message 1161 due to the fine unevenness is formed becomes thin, and the pattern or message 1161 due to the fine unevenness is located on the player side (front), Since the distance from the screen of the game board side effect display device 1600 is increased, the design or the message 1161 can be displayed more three-dimensionally.
Further, since a space is formed by the panel recess 1164 behind the panel plate 1160, a decorative body, a movable body, etc. are disposed between the panel plate 1160 and the game version side effect display device 1600 (inside space of the back box 3000). It becomes easy to do. Furthermore, the space by the panel recessed part 1164 also becomes a space for exhaust heat.

It should be noted that the panel recess 1164 is divided not only at one place in the center as shown in FIG. 139 but also divided as shown in a simplified diagram in FIGS. 141 to 143 and may be distributed at a plurality of places.
That is, in [A] of FIG. 141, a plurality of panel recesses 1164a to 1164c having different sizes (areas) but the same depth are arranged, and a pattern or message 1161 (detailed) with fine unevenness on each bottom surface. A light guide decorative part) is formed by a stamper or a cut-out. The LEDs 1163 which are light sources for these light guide decorations are arranged on the peripheral edge (end face) of the panel plate 1160 (FIG. 141 [B]), and the light guide decorations are exposed by light projected from the top, bottom, left and right. It is. In this case, the light guide decoration portion may be displayed all at once, or only a part of the light guide decoration portion can be exposed brightly by selectively lighting or blinking the peripheral LEDs 1163. Further, by selecting the light emission color of the LED 1163 as the light source, it is possible to change the appearance of some of the light guide decoration portions to different colors.

In FIG. 142, the depths of the plurality of divided panel recesses 1164a to 1164c are different from each other, and a light guide decoration portion is also formed on the bottom surface of each panel recess 1164 by stamper or shaving. In the peripheral portion 1167 of the panel board 1160, which is a game area, obstruction nails or the like may be embedded, so that the panel recess 1164 is shallow from the viewpoint of strength (panel recess 1164c), and there is no impact due to rolling of the game ball (failure) It is not necessary to embed a nail or the like). That is, the panel recess 1164 formed at the site where the obstacle nail or the like is embedded is shallower than the panel recess 1164 where the obstacle nail or the like is not embedded. Further, in providing a plurality of panel recesses 1164 on the back surface of the panel plate 1160, the panel recesses 1164 are formed so as to become shallower toward the center of the panel plate 1160. This is also for facilitating the light emitted from the LED 1163 as the light source to reach each of the plurality of panel recesses. Further, the LEDs 1163 as light sources are arranged on the peripheral edge (end face), and are arranged in multiple stages (LEDs 1163a to 1163c in FIG. 142) in the thickness direction of the panel plate 1160.
When all the peripheral LEDs 1163 are turned on, the light guide decoration portions of the respective panel recesses 1164 are exposed all at once. Expression differs depending on the distance and direction from the light source. When the light emission of the LED 1163 as the light source is selected around the periphery of the panel plate 1160 or in the cross-sectional direction, the brightness of the light guide decoration portion in each panel recess 1164 can be changed. Further, when the light emission colors of the LEDs 1163a to 1163c arranged in multiple stages are variously changed and selectively turned on or blinked, the light guide decoration portions in the respective panel recesses 1164 can be expressed in various colors. .

A plurality of panel recesses 1164a to 1164c having different depths are continuously (overlapping), and the panel recess 1164 in FIG. 143 is formed in a plurality of steps with steps gradually increasing toward the center of the panel plate 1160. Yes. The light guide decoration portion is formed on each step surface of the overlapped panel recesses 1164a to 1164c. The LEDs 1163 as light sources are arranged on the periphery (end face), and are arranged in multiple stages in the thickness direction of the panel plate 1160 (LEDs 1163a to 1163c in FIG. 143). Such multi-stage panel recesses 1164 may be large on the rear surface of the panel plate 1160 or may be provided on the rear surface.
As described above, by arranging the panel recesses 1164 in a plurality of locations and providing each with a light guide decoration portion, the position of the light guide decoration portion to be exposed is slightly different from front to back as viewed from the player. It is possible to enhance the player's interest by making it more versatile to decorate and produce the front of the gaming machine with the light guide decoration part.

  Further, in addition to the pattern or message 1161 having fine irregularities formed on the bottom surface (concave surface) of the panel recess 1164, the rear surface of the panel plate 1160 which is not the panel recess 1164 as shown in FIGS. It is also possible to separately form a pattern or a message 1161 (second light guide decoration portion) with unevenness. Thereby, although it is the one panel board 1160, it becomes possible to implement | achieve the some light guide decoration which has a different feeling of depth when it visually recognizes from the front, and a game entertainment interest is raised more. In this case, the LED 1163 for guiding light to the light guide decoration formed on the concave surface of the panel recess 1164 and the light guide decoration formed on the rear surface of the panel plate 1160 that is not the panel recess 1164 are used. By controlling the LEDs 1163 so that they can be lit individually or simultaneously, the pattern or message 1161 on the bottom surface (concave surface) of the panel recess 1164 and the pattern or message 1161 on the rear surface of the panel board 1160 that is not the panel recess 1164 are individually displayed. It is also possible to make them appear at the same time.

[5-2e. Other example 4 of game panel board]
In other example 4 (FIGS. 144 and 145) of the panel plate 1110 in the game panel 1100, the panel recess 1164 is composed of one main plate 1165 and several sub-plates 1166 bonded to the rear surface. The main plate 1165 has the same outer shape as that of the panel plate 1110, but is thin, for example, about 6 to 7 mm. The main plate 1165 is formed of a transparent acrylic resin as a whole, and a game area 5a is set on the front surface. Several sub-plates 1166 are obtained by dividing the peripheral portion of the main plate 1165 into a plurality of pieces, and have a thickness of about 4 to 3 mm. When each sub-plate 1166 is assembled to the rear surface of the main plate 1165, the outer shape thereof coincides with the main plate 1165 and a space, that is, a panel recess 1164 is formed inside as shown in FIG. A pattern or message 1161 is formed on the main plate 1165 to be the panel recess 1164 (the rear surface of the main plate 1165) with fine unevenness by a stamper.
The location where the panel recess 1164 is provided and the size and shape of the panel recess 1164 are arbitrary. However, it is preferable to consider the positional relationship with the center accessory 2500 and the like so that the inner edge of the sub plate 1166 cannot be seen from the player side. Furthermore, it is preferable that the panel recess 1164 does not reach the part engaged with the panel holder 1120.
In the other example 4, the LED 1163 can be configured to be incident from the peripheral edge (end surface) of the main plate 1165, and the same configuration as the configuration shown in FIG. 137 can be adopted. Specifically, a configuration in which a groove corresponding to the wiring groove 1169 is provided in the peripheral edge (end surface) of the main plate 1165 and the LED 1163 is disposed by placing a strip-shaped lead wire therein, or a configuration in which the LED 1163 is disposed in the panel holder 1120 is adopted. it can. In this example, external light emitted from other than the LED 1163 is incident on the main plate 1165 by providing means for shielding external light such as pasting or printing opaque cells on the sub-plate 1166. It is possible to prevent the picture or the message 1161b from being displayed at an unintended time.

  The panel plate 1160 of the other example 4 has a configuration in which the panel concave portion 1164 is formed by the sub-plate 1166 after the pattern 116 or the message 1161 by the fine unevenness by the stamper or the like is formed on the main plate 1165. Since it can be performed on a flat surface called the back surface of 1165, there is an advantage that the game design and processing are easier than in the case where the light guide decoration portion is provided on the already formed recess. Further, by providing the sub-plate 1166 with respect to the material of the main plate 1165, the reinforcing effect of the panel plate 1160 is also achieved. Further, the light of the LED 1163 projected from the end face is also reflected at the boundary surface between the main plate 1165 and the sub plate 1166, so that the light of the LED 1163 efficiently reaches the pattern or message 1161 with fine unevenness.

[5-2f. Other example 5 of game panel board]
Another example 5 (FIG. 146) of the panel board 1110 in the gaming panel 1100 includes an opening 1112 through which the game board-side effect display device 1600 located at the rear of the gaming board 5 can be seen, so that the panel board 1110 has an opening. Only the peripheral portion 1167 other than the portion 1112 is provided. That is, the panel plate 1160 of the other example 5 is a flat plate obtained by cutting out the opening 1112 through which the game board side effect display device 1600 can be seen from a rectangular flat plate substantially similar to the panel holder 1120.
And the obstruction nail and the winning a prize mouth are attached to the part which becomes the game field 5a in front of the peripheral part 1167. On the other hand, a pattern 1161 (light guide decoration portion) having fine irregularities is formed on the rear surface of the peripheral portion 1167 by a stamper. The light guide decoration portion may be provided in the panel recess 1164 having a different depth as described in the third example.

  Also in the other example 5, the configuration for arranging the LED 1163 can be the same as the configuration shown in FIG. 137. Specifically, the wiring groove 1169 is provided in the peripheral edge (end surface) of the panel plate 1160, and the configuration is provided here. A configuration in which the LED 1163 is disposed with the belt-like lead wire 1170 placed therein, or a configuration in which the LED 1163 is disposed in the panel holder 1120 can be employed. In this example, a plurality of LEDs 1163 are also provided on the opening edge 1168 of the opening 1112, and the LEDs 1163 are arranged at predetermined intervals in a direction in which light is projected from the opening edge 1168 toward the peripheral portion 1167. Has been. That is, the pattern or message 1161 on the rear surface side of the peripheral portion 1167 includes an LED 1163 (outside light source) provided on the peripheral edge (end surface) of the panel plate 1160 and an LED 1163 (inside light source) provided on the opening edge 1168 of the opening 1112. It is comprised so that it may express by the light projection by. When predetermined conditions are satisfied, the LED 1163 (outside light source) provided on the peripheral edge (end surface) of the panel plate 1160 and the LED 1163 (inside light source) provided on the opening edge 1168 of the opening 1112 are turned on all at once. The light projection from multiple directions by these LEDs 1163 (outside light source, inside light source) allows light to be guided to the panel plate 1160 without any surplus, and a pattern or pattern with fine irregularities formed on the peripheral portion 1167 of the panel plate 1160 The message 1161 (light guide decoration part) is clearly displayed in front of the game board side effect display device 1600.

As in the case of the other example 3, when the light guide decoration portion is provided on the bottom surface of each of the panel recesses 1164 having different depths, the light guide decoration portion to be exposed is slightly forward and backward as viewed from the player. Each position looks different. In addition, these light guide decorations appear to have different brightness depending on the distance and direction from the light source. Furthermore, by using the LEDs 1163 having different emission colors, it is possible to change the color in which each light guide decoration portion is exposed.
It should be noted that a concealing member such as the center accessory 2500 of the front unit 2000 in the front component member 1000 is provided on the front side of the panel plate 1160 where the LED 1163 (inner light source) provided on the opening edge 1168 of the opening 1112 is disposed. , The presence of the LED 1163 (inner light source) cannot be visually recognized by the player, or can be difficult to visually recognize. In other words, when the gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front, the presence of the LED 1163 (inner light source) can be prevented from being seen from the front, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in interest due to deterioration in appearance due to the light source being visible.
The panel plate 1160 of the other example 5 is the same as the other examples, but is formed of a synthetic resin plate such as a transparent acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, polyarylate resin, and methacrylic resin, or a material having a light guiding property such as glass. The outer periphery is formed slightly larger than the inner periphery of the frame-shaped front component member 1000 and is sandwiched and attached between the front component member 1000 and the frame-shaped panel holder 1120.

The light guide effect according to the other example 5 causes a pattern or message 1161 with fine irregularities to be displayed in the game area 5a where obstacle nails, winning holes, etc. exist. The pattern or message 1161 with fine irregularities may be difficult to grasp the entire pattern due to obstacle nails, winning holes, etc., but between the game balls, obstacle nails, or winning holes that fall in the game area 5a Because something looks flickering, it will draw the player's attention. And by using such a situation as one of the suggestions accompanying the progress of the game, it is possible to enhance the interest of the player.
Also in the other example 5, the configuration in which the LED 1163 is arranged can adopt the same configuration as the configuration shown in FIG. 137. Specifically, the wiring groove 1169 is provided in the peripheral edge (end surface) of the panel plate 1160. A configuration in which the LED 1163 is disposed with the belt-like lead wire 1170 placed therein or a configuration in which the LED 1163 is disposed in the panel holder 1120 can be employed.

[5-2g. Other example 6 of game panel board]
A panel board 1160 shown in FIGS. 147 and 148 is another example 6 of the panel board 1110 in the gaming panel 1100.
The panel plate 1160 of the other example 6 is formed of a light-transmitting material such as a synthetic resin plate such as a transparent acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, polyarylate resin, and methacrylic resin or glass, and the outer periphery has a frame-like front. It is formed slightly larger than the inner periphery of the component member 1000 and is attached by being sandwiched between the front component member 1000 and the frame-shaped panel holder 1120.
The panel plate 1160 is a flat plate as a whole, a game area is set on the front surface, and a panel recess 1164 is formed on the rear surface. In this embodiment, a light guide plate 1173 having substantially the same size as the panel recess 1164 is mounted in the panel recess 1164. The light guide plate 1173 is a plate made of transparent acrylic resin or the like, and a pattern or message 1161 is formed on the rear surface by fine unevenness by a stamper.
In addition, the depth of the panel recessed part 1164 is about 3-4 mm with respect to 10 mm of board thickness considering the intensity | strength of the panel board 1160. FIG.

  In this [Other Example 6], the opening 1112 for looking through the game board side effect display device 1600 located behind the game board 5 is not provided. Therefore, when assembled as the game board 5, the panel plate 1160 and the light guide plate 1173 overlap in front of the game board side effect display device 1600. However, since the panel plate 1160 and the light guide plate are transparent, there is no problem in seeing the screen of the game board side effect display device 1600.

  Further, other structures such as the thickness of the panel plate 1160 and the fitting hole 1113, that is, a structure for positioning and fixing when the panel plate 1160 is assembled with the front constituent member 1000 and the panel holder 1120, etc. Is the same as

[Other Example 6] has the above-described structure. In the case of the game by the player, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the LED 1163 on the periphery of the panel plate 1160 is turned on, and the fine unevenness processed into the light guide plate 1173 1161 is displayed in front of the game board side effect display device 1600.
The pattern or message 1161 due to the fine unevenness due to the light guide effect overlaps with the moving image or the like displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 when viewed from the player side, and is positioned in front of these images. Since it looks three-dimensional, it is an interesting production. Further, since the pattern or message 1161 due to fine unevenness due to the light guiding effect has a translucent and vague feeling, such a production is rich in suggestions that make it seem to be a sign of a big hit, for example.

According to the configuration of the other example 6, even if the light guide plate is thinned, the whole is protected and reinforced by the panel plate 1160. For this reason, the light guide effect can be obtained at low cost by employing a thin light guide plate 1173 having a thickness of about 3 to 4 mm. Even if the light guide plate is thin, there is no hindrance in forming the light guide decoration part. As described above, a thickness of 3 to 4 mm is sufficient to guide the light projected from the LED 1163. . Furthermore, a spatial margin can be created behind the panel plate 1160 as compared with the case where the light guide plate 1173 is further stacked or disposed behind the conventional panel plate 1110 with the same thickness.
According to the configuration of the other example 6, when a pattern or message 1161 with fine unevenness is formed on the front surface of the light guide plate 1173, the light guide decoration portion becomes closer to the player side (front side) and the game board side effect display device 1600 Since the distance from the screen is increased, the light guide decoration portion can be displayed more three-dimensionally.
According to the configuration of the other example 6, the light guide plate 1173 is protected from the outside by the thin portion of the panel plate 1160 located on the front side. In this protective structure, when the light guide decoration part is formed on the front surface of the light guide plate, an operator or a part contacts the front surface of the light guide plate 1173 during the assembly process of the gaming machine, There is an advantage that it can be prevented from being damaged or soiled.
Furthermore, since a separate light guide plate is not disposed between the light guide plate 1173 of the panel plate 1160 and the game board side effect display device 1600, the game board 5 utilizes the light guide effect. There is a margin in the space behind the panel plate 1160 (the internal space of the back unit 3000).
Note that the panel recess 1164 is not limited to one place in the center as shown in FIG. 144, but may be divided and distributed to a plurality of places.

On the other hand, the LED 1163 attached to the peripheral edge of the panel board 1160 has at least a central part of the panel board 1160 in the direction of projecting light, and a portion where the obstacle nail is driven (an insertion part into the panel board 1160) or an embedding part of the winning device (difference) It is preferable to select a portion where there is no such as a “mounting attachment portion” and arrange it as evenly as possible (see FIG. 136 relating to the other example 1). For this reason, the arrangement of the LEDs 1163 is not limited to equidistant portions.
The LED 1160 as the light source can be selected from any color light other than white. Further, not only lighting of the plurality of LEDs 1163 but also a combination of flashing, lighting and flashing is conceivable.

Then, an LED 1163 is loaded as a light source in each of a plurality of storage holes 1162 formed on the end surface which is the peripheral edge of the panel plate 1160 toward the opposite side of the panel plate 1160. Each LED 1162 is under the control of the peripheral control unit 1151 in the peripheral control board 1150.
Also in the other example 6, the configuration in which the LED 1163 is arranged can adopt the same configuration as the configuration shown in FIG. 137. Specifically, the wiring groove 1169 is provided in the peripheral edge (end surface) of the panel plate 1160, and the configuration is provided here. A configuration in which the LED 1163 is disposed with the belt-like lead wire 1170 placed therein, or a configuration in which the LED 1163 is disposed in the panel holder 1120 can be employed.

In the above-mentioned [Other Example 1], the panel recess 1164 has a pattern or message 1161 with fine unevenness on the rear surface of the panel plate 1160 and on the rear surface of the obstacle nail near the center or where there are few winning holes. The game board side effect display device 1600 is configured so as to overlap the image, but there are also players who do not like such overlap, and conversely, a panel recess 1164 is provided in the peripheral part 1167 with many obstacle nails and winning holes. There is also. In this way, the screen of the game board side effect display device 1600 can be seen in the center of the game area 5a without being obstructed, but vague fine irregularities due to the light guide effect between the obstacle nails and the winning opening of the peripheral edge 1167. The pattern or the message 1161 by can be seen as a flicker. This state is such that, as described above, something appears to move in the moving area of the game ball, unlike the case where a fine uneven pattern or message 1161 is visible at the center of the game area. It becomes a place to attract attention, and the appearance can be made implicit in the progress of the game (see FIG. 146 related to the other example 5 for reference).
Note that the arrangement, type, and number of patterns or messages 1161 due to fine irregularities on the light guide plate 1173 are arbitrary.

[5-2h. Other example 7 of game panel board]
A panel plate 1160 shown in FIGS. 149 and 150 is another example 7, and similarly to the other example 6 (FIG. 147), a light guide plate 1173 having a panel recess 1164 at the center and substantially the same shape as the panel recess 1164. Is installed. The light guide plate 1173 is processed with a pattern or message 1161 with fine irregularities.
And in this other example 7, LED1163 which is a light source with respect to the light-guide plate 1173 is arrange | positioned toward the outer side end surface of the light-guide plate 1173 in the inner side end surface which comprises the panel recessed part 1164.
As described above, there is an advantage that the LED 1163 of the light source can be disposed near the light guide plate 1173 using the boundary portion between the panel recess 1164 and the light guide plate 1173 in the panel plate 1160, and thereby the panel recess formed in the panel plate 1160. Compared with the case where the light guide decoration portion is arranged directly on the bottom surface of 1164, the light guide decoration portion can be more clearly expressed by the amount of the light source that is closer. Further, by providing the panel recess 1164, both the LED 1163 directed toward the outside of the panel plate 1160 and the LED 1163 directed toward the light guide plate 1173 from the wall of the panel recess 1164 can be disposed at the boundary portion. In addition, the light guide decorative portion of the peripheral portion 1167 of the panel plate 1160 can also be exposed brightly (FIG. 158, described later).
The LED 1163 is preferably arranged so as to be hidden by the center accessory 2500 or the like arranged in the game area 5a.

[5-2i. Other example of gaming panel board 8]
In another example 8 (FIGS. 151 and 152) of the panel plate 1110 in the game panel 1100, the panel recess 1164 includes a single main plate 1165 and several sub-plates 1166 bonded to the rear surface thereof. The main plate 1165 has the same outer shape as that of the panel plate 1110, but is thin, for example, about 6 to 7 mm. The main plate 1165 is formed of a transparent acrylic resin as a whole, and a game area 5a is set on the front surface. Several sub-plates 1166 are obtained by dividing the peripheral portion of the main plate 1165 into a plurality of pieces, and have a thickness of about 4 to 3 mm.

When each sub-plate 1166 is assembled to the rear surface of the main plate 1165, as shown in FIG. 151, the outer shape of the sub-plate 1166 coincides with the main plate 1165, and a space, that is, a panel recess 1164 is formed inside. A light guide plate 1173 is attached to a portion of the main plate 1165 that serves as the panel recess 1164 (the rear surface of the main plate 1165).
In addition, the location in which the panel recessed part 1164 is provided and the magnitude | size of the panel recessed part 1164 are arbitrary. However, it is preferable to consider the positional relationship with the center accessory 2500 and the like so that the inner edge of the sub plate 1166 cannot be seen from the player side. Furthermore, it is preferable that the panel recess 1164 does not reach the part engaged with the panel holder 1120.
In other example 8, the LED 1163 is attached to the outer end face (FIG. 152 [A]) of the sub-plate 1166 and the inner end face of the sub-plate 1166 (FIG. 152 [B]).

  The panel board 1160 of the other example 8 has an advantage that it is easy to make a panel recess 1164 in which a pattern 1161 having fine irregularities is arranged. Further, the light guide performance is not required for the material of the main plate 1165. Further, the light of the LED 1163 projected onto the light guide plate 1173 from the outer end surface of the sub-plate 1166 is also reflected at the boundary surface between the main plate 1165 and the sub-plate 1166, so that the light of the LED 1163 efficiently reaches the pattern or message 1161.

[5-2j. Other modifications]
FIGS. 153 to 158 are simplified diagrams showing the positional relationship between the panel concave portion 1164 of the panel plate 1160, the light guide plate 1173, and the LED 1163 as the light source in various embodiments.
In the configuration of FIG. 153, the LED 1163 is on the peripheral edge (end surface) of the panel plate 1160 and projects light onto the end surface of the light guide plate 1173 provided inside the panel recess 1164. More specifically, the LED 1163 is arranged in a configuration similar to that shown in FIG. 137. Specifically, the wiring groove 1169 is provided on the peripheral edge (end surface) of the panel plate 1160. It is a figure corresponding to the structure which puts strip | belt-shaped lead wire 1170 here, and arrange | positions LED1163, and the structure which arrange | positions LED1163 in the panel holder 1120. FIG. In this example, the light from the LED 1163 toward the light guide plate 1173 is configured to pass below the obstacle nail or the like. In this configuration, light projection from the LED 1163 to the light guide plate 1173 is indirect, but there is an advantage that the LED 1163 as a light source can be easily arranged on the game panel 1100.

In the configuration of FIG. 154, the LED 1163 as a light source is disposed on the inner end face of the panel recess 1164.
When the LED 1163 is arranged on the inner end face of the panel recess 1164 as described above, as shown in the drawing, the rear of the game area 5a such as the center accessory 2500 or the windmill is provided in front of the LED 1163 and on the front surface of the panel plate 1160. By providing an accessory that can be partially hidden (preferably colored or the like), it is possible to prevent the presence of the LED 1163 from the front when the gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front.
In this configuration, since the light source is close to the light guide plate 1173, light can be directly projected onto the light guide plate 1173, and a pattern or message 1161 with fine irregularities can be displayed brightly. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in interest due to deterioration in appearance due to the light source being visible.

In the configuration of FIG. 155, the LED 1163 as a light source is arranged on the outer end face of the panel board 1160 as in FIG. 153, but is adjacent not only to the game board side effect display device 1600 but also to the game board side effect display device 1600. The panel concave portion 1164 is formed up to the front region of the decorative body 1174 disposed in this manner, and the light guide plate 1173 is disposed inside the panel concave portion 1164. This makes it possible to realize an interesting effect in which the pattern or message 1161 of the light guide plate 1173, the game board side effect display device 1600, and the decorative body 1174 on the back are combined.
Further, when the decorative body 1174 is provided behind the light guide plate 1173 arranged in the panel recess 1164 as described above, when the decorative body 1174 is assembled (after the light guide plate 1173 is assembled, the decorative body 1174 is assembled from the rear thereof). It is conceivable that a situation in which the decorative body 1174 partially contacts the light guide plate 1173 occurs. In consideration of such a situation, as shown in FIG. 155, the fine unevenness (light guide decoration portion) formed on the light guide plate 1173b is guided to the side opposite to the side where the decorative body 1174 is arranged (in FIG. 155, it is guided). It is preferably formed on the front surface side of the optical plate 1173. As a result, even when a part of the decorative body 1174 is accidentally brought into contact with the light guide plate 1173, the fine irregularities (light guide decoration portion) of the light guide plate 1173 may be damaged and It is possible to prevent a problem from occurring in the light guide effect.

In the configuration of FIG. 156, a panel recess 1164 is formed on the rear surface of the peripheral portion 1167 of the panel plate 1160, and the light guide plate 1173 is disposed there.
The light guide plate 1173 is processed with a pattern or message 1161 having fine irregularities, and light is projected from the LED 1163 disposed on the peripheral end surface of the light guide plate 1173 toward the end surface of the opposite side of the peripheral edge. The end surface of the opposite side is made into a reflection surface 1175 by aluminum vapor deposition or the like, and the light projected from the LED 1163 as a light source is reflected by the opposite side and passes back through the light guide plate 1173.
According to this configuration, since there is no light guide plate 1173 at the center portion of the panel board 1160 looking through the game board side effect display device 1600, the screen of the game board side effect display device 1600 becomes brighter.
Further, since the light projected from the LED 1163 is folded back by the reflection surface 1175 on the opposite side, the projection light can be used efficiently and the light does not leak to the center portion of the panel plate 1160. Furthermore, external light emitted from other than the LED 1163 is prevented from being incident on the light guide plate 1173 by the reflecting surface 1175 provided on the peripheral edge surface of the light guide plate 1173 (side surface of the light guide plate 1173) except the LED 1163 placement site. This can prevent the picture or message 1161b from being displayed at an unintended time.

In the configuration of FIG. 157, as shown in FIG. 5A, a panel concave portion 1164 is formed on the rear surface of the central portion of the panel plate 1160, and the light guide plate 1173 is mounted. A pattern or message 1161a with fine irregularities is processed on the light guide plate 1173, and a pattern or message 1161b with fine irregularities is also processed on the rear surface of the peripheral portion 1167 of the panel plate 1160. The first LED 1163a serving as a light source is disposed on the outer end surface of the panel plate 1160, and the second LED 1163b serving as a light source is disposed on the inner end surface of the panel plate 1160 (the peripheral wall of the panel recess 1164).
Further, the end surface (outer end surface) on the first LED 1163a side is a reflection surface 1175 by aluminum vapor deposition or the like.
According to this configuration, it is possible to use both the pattern or message 1161a due to the fine unevenness of the light guide plate 1173 and the pattern or message 1161b due to the fine unevenness in the peripheral portion 1167 of the panel board 1160 for the production accompanying the progress of the game. it can.
Further, the light guide plate 1173 uses the light of the second LED 1163b reflected by the reflection surface 1175 together with the light of the first LED 1163a, so that the amount of light to be projected increases, and the light guide plate 1173 has fine irregularities processed into the light guide plate 1173. The picture or the message 1161 can be expressed more clearly.
Further, similarly to the above, external light emitted from other than the LED 1163 is generated on the side surface of the light guide plate 1173 by the reflection surface 1175 provided on the peripheral edge surface of the light guide plate 1173 (side surface of the light guide plate 1173) except for the location where the LED 1163 is disposed. It can be prevented from being incident, and thereby it is possible to prevent the picture or the message 1161 from being displayed at an unintended time.

In the configuration of FIG. 158, similarly to the configuration shown in FIG. 157, a panel concave portion 1164 is formed on the rear surface of the central portion of the panel plate 1160, and the light guide plate 1173 is mounted. A pattern or message 1161a with fine unevenness is processed on the light guide plate 1173, and a pattern or message 1161b with fine unevenness is processed on the rear surface of the peripheral portion 1167 of the panel plate 1160.
Then, the first LED 1163a as a light source is disposed on the outer end surface of the panel plate 1160, and the second LED 1163b as a light source is disposed on the inner end surface (the peripheral wall of the panel recess 1164) of the panel plate 1160 (FIG. 158 [A]). A third LED 1163c as a light source is disposed on the inner end face of the panel plate 1160. The second LED 1163b is attached in a direction for projecting light toward the outer end face of the panel plate 1160, and the third LED 1163c is attached in a direction for projecting light toward the end face of the light guide plate 1173 (FIG. 158 [B]). ).
A reflective surface 1175 is formed on the outer end surface and the inner end surface of the panel plate 1160 except for the locations of the first LED 1163a and the second LED 1163b.

In this configuration, light (projection from the first LED 1163a and the second LED 1163b) for displaying a pattern or message 1161b by fine unevenness processed on the peripheral portion 1167 of the panel plate 1160 and fine unevenness processed on the light guide plate 1173. Since light for projecting the pattern or message 1161a (projection from the third LED 1163c) is separated, the pattern or message 1161a and 1161b with fine unevenness can be represented by different colors and luminance differences. And can enhance the interest of the player.
Further, similarly to the above, external light emitted from other than the LED 1163 is generated on the side surface of the light guide plate 1173 by the reflection surface 1175 provided on the peripheral edge surface of the light guide plate 1173 (side surface of the light guide plate 1173) except for the location where the LED 1163 is disposed. It can be prevented from being incident, and thereby it is possible to prevent the picture or the message 1161 from being displayed at an unintended time.
Note that the LED 1163 c as a light source may be disposed on the end face of the light guide plate 1173.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the reflective surface 1175 is provided on the peripheral edge surface of the light guide plate 1173 (side surface of the light guide plate 1173) except for the location where the LED 1163 is disposed. However, external light emitted from other than the LED 1163 is emitted from the light guide plate 1173. If only consideration is given to preventing the light from being incident on the side surface, the following may be used. That is, not only the reflective surface 1175 by metal vapor deposition, but also a non-translucent portion such as a non-transparent seal (dark color seal, etc.) or printing, and the arrangement of the LEDs 1163 on the peripheral edge surface (side surface of the light guide plate 1173). It is good also as providing in the site | part except a site | part. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent external light emitted from other than the LED 1163 from being incident from the side surface of the light guide plate 1173, and to prevent the design or the message 1161 from being displayed at an unintended time.

  Further, the fine irregularities (light guide decorations) formed on the light guide plate 1173 disposed in the panel recess 1164 may be formed on the front surface of the light guide plate 1173 or on the rear surface of the light guide plate 1173. It may be done. In addition, when a movable accessory etc. are arrange | positioned at the front side or the back surface side of the light guide plate 1173, fine unevenness | corrugation (light guide decoration part) should be provided in the surface on the opposite side to the side where a movable accessory is arrange | positioned. preferable. Specifically, when a movable accessory or the like is disposed on the front side of the light guide plate 1173, fine unevenness (light guide decoration portion) is provided on the rear surface opposite to the side on which the movable accessory is disposed. When a movable accessory or the like is disposed on the rear surface side of 1173, it is preferable to provide fine unevenness (light guide decoration portion) on the front surface opposite to the side on which the movable accessory is disposed. As a result, even if a situation occurs in which the movable accessory performs a defective operation and partially contacts the light guide plate 1173, the fine unevenness (light guide decoration portion) of the light guide plate 1173 is damaged, and a pattern or the like is guided. It is possible to prevent a problem from occurring in the light effect.

  Further, fine irregularities (light guide decorations) may be provided on both the front and rear surfaces of the light guide plate 1173, and further, a light guide decoration may be provided on the bottom of the panel recess 1164. And when providing a light guide decoration part in several surfaces in this way, it is good also as providing the site | part which a pattern etc. overlap on a some surface, and the site | part which a pattern etc. do not overlap. Thereby, a novel light guide effect that creates a three-dimensional effect within the range of the thickness of one light guide plate or the range of the thickness of the panel plate 1160 can be realized, and the entertainment of the game can be enhanced. Furthermore, it is possible to enhance the gaming fun by giving an order to the expression of the light guide decoration portions on the plurality of surfaces or changing the order.

This initial setting process includes a process of clearing the RAM built in the peripheral control unit 1511 mounted on the peripheral control board 1510, and the consistency of the decorative sheet inserted into the door frame right side unit 550. A code signal determination process is performed. Note that interrupts are prohibited during this initial setting process, and interrupts are permitted after the initial setting process. When the initial setting process (step S501) is completed, a loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 mS elapsed flag T is set is started (step S502).

In this embodiment, the peripheral control unit 1511 generates an interrupt every 2 mS and executes a 2 mS steady process. In the 2 mS steady process, a process of counting up the 16 mS progress monitoring counter (adding 1 to the 16 mS progress monitoring counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16 mS progress monitoring counter reaches 8, that is, 16 mS has elapsed. While the flag T is set, processing for resetting (setting 0) the 16 mS progress monitoring counter is executed.
As described above, the 16 mS elapsed flag T is set (set) to “1” every 16 mS in the 2 mS steady process, and is normally set (reset) to “0”. If the 16 mS elapsed flag is set in step S502 (the 16 mS elapsed flag T is “1”), the 16 mS elapsed flag is reset (step S503), and then the 16 mS steady process is performed (step S504).

  In the 16 mS steady process, a process of controlling the game board side effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the door frame right side decorative board 552, the speaker 921, and the like is executed based on the command received from the main control board 1310. When the 16 mS steady process ends, every time the 16 mS elapsed flag T is set, that is, every 16 mS, the above-described steps S503 to S504 are repeated. On the other hand, if the 16 mS elapsed flag T is not set in step S502 (the 16 mS elapsed flag T is “0”), loop processing is performed until the 16 mS elapsed flag T is set.

  In the 16 mS steady process, the peripheral control unit 1511 executes the processes of step S601 to step S606. In the command analysis process in step S601, the command received from the main control board 1310 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S602, the game is based on receiving the variation pattern command transmitted by being set in the variation pattern setting process (step S149 of the first variation pattern setting process, the second variation pattern setting process). Control processing related to the board-side effect display device 1600 is executed.

  In the sound control process in step S603, a control process related to the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 is executed. In the lamp control process in step S604, a control process related to lamps / LEDs (door frame right side decorative board 552 and the like) provided in the pachinko machine 1 is executed. In the information output process of step S605, a process of transmitting a lighting signal to the door frame right side decorative board 552 and the like is executed. In the random number update process of step S606, a process of updating random numbers used for various settings in the effect control process (step S602) is executed.

  In addition, the process of step S601-step S606 in a 16mS steady process is complete | finished within 16 mS. Even if it takes 16 mS or more from the start of the 16 mS steady process to the end of the 16 mS steady process, the 16 mS steady process is immediately started from the beginning when the 16 mS has passed since the start of the 16 mS steady process (command in step S601). Do not execute (from analysis process). That is, when 16 mS elapses during execution of the 16 mS steady process, only the 16 mS elapse flag is set, and when it is determined in step S502 that the 16 mS elapse flag is set after the end of the 16 mS steady process, the 16 mS steady process is performed. To start.

[6. Game contents]
Next, game contents by the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game balls stored in the upper plate 321 of the plate unit 320 are moved by the player rotating the handle 302 of the handle unit 300 disposed in the lower right corner of the front surface of the door frame 3. The game board 5 is driven into the upper portion of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002, and the game with the game ball is started. The game ball that has been driven into the upper part of the game area 5a flows down either the left side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the strength of the game. The strength of the game ball can be adjusted according to the amount of rotation of the handle 302. The game ball can be driven more strongly as it is rotated in the clockwise direction, and a maximum of 100 game balls per minute, that is, A game ball can be shot at intervals of 0.6 seconds.

  In the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) with a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions are implanted on the front surface of the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110). By abutting, the flow-down speed of the game ball is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball so that the movement can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail, a windmill (not shown) that rotates when the game ball abuts is provided at an appropriate position.

  When the game ball that is thrown into the upper portion of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the front view of the outermost surface of the center accessory 2500 from the highest position, it abuts against a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) The area on the left side of the center actor 2500 will flow down. Then, when a game ball flowing down the left region of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp inlet 2520 that is open to the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500, the game ball is supplied from the warp outlet 2522 to the stage 2530.

  The game ball supplied to the stage 2530 rolls on the stage 2530, moves back and forth, and is released forward. When a game ball is released from the center of the stage 2530 into the game area 5a, the game ball is positioned directly above the first start port 2002, and therefore is received at the first start port 2002 with a high probability. When a game ball is received in the first starting port 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 321 from the payout device 830 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951. .

  When the game ball rolling on the stage 2530 is released into the game area 5a from other than the center, it flows down toward the start port unit 2100. The game ball released from the stage 2530 of the center accessory 2500 into the game area 5a may be received by the first start opening 2002 of the start opening unit 2100, the open big winning opening 2005, or the like.

  By the way, when the game ball that has flowed down to the left side of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2520, it is drawn toward the center in the left-right direction by the upper side unit 2300, and the general winning opening 2001 or the first of the side unit lower 2200 There is a possibility that it will be received in the starting port 2002 or the like. When a game ball is received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 321 from the payout device 830 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951. .

  On the other hand, when a game ball that is driven into the upper portion of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 5a enters (is driven into) the right side of the highest portion of the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500, the downstream On the side, the region where the gate portion 2003 and the second start port 2004 are provided flows down.

  When the right-handed game ball passes through the gate portion 2003, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board 1310. If the lottery normal lottery result is “normal hit”, the second start port 2004 is set for a predetermined time ( For example, it is in the open state for 0.3 to 10 seconds), and the game ball can be received at the second start port 2004. When a game ball is received at the second start port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 321 from the payout device 830 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951. The

  In the present embodiment, in the normal lottery performed by the game ball passing through the gate unit 2003, a certain amount of time is set after the normal lottery is started until the normal lottery result is suggested (for example, 0. 0). 01-60 seconds, also called normal variation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5. The second start port 2004 is opened after the normal fluctuation time has elapsed.

  In addition, if a game ball passes through the gate portion 2003 after the game ball passes through the gate portion 2003 and before the normal lottery result is suggested, the normal lottery result cannot be started. The start of the suggestion of the result is put on hold until the suggestion of the result of the previous normal lottery ends. In addition, the number of holdings of the normal lottery result is up to 4 and the upper limit is discarded without holding even if the game ball passes through the gate unit 2003. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the game hall side by accumulating the hold.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a game ball is received in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, the main control board 1310 has an advantageous game state (for example, “hit”, “ A lottery of a special lottery result that generates “medium hit”, “small hit”, “per probability change”, “per time reduction”, etc.) is performed. Then, the lottery result of the special lottery is indicated to the player over a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds, also referred to as a special variation time). Note that the special lottery results that are drawn when the game balls are received at the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 include “losing”, “small hit”, “2R big hit”, “5R big hit”, “ 15R big hit "," perpendicular change (probability change) per "," shorter time (shorter time) per "," shorter per probability change "," short per chance at the time of probable change ", etc.

  When the special lottery result (the first special lottery result and the second special lottery result) drawn by accepting game balls to the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 is a special lottery result that generates an advantageous gaming state After the elapse of the special variation time, the special winning opening 2005 is in a state where it can accept the game ball with a predetermined opening / closing pattern. When a game ball is received in the special prize opening 2005 when the special prize opening 2005 is in the open state, a predetermined number (for example, ten or thirteen) of gaming balls from the payout device 830 by the main control board 1310 and the payout board. Is dispensed to the upper plate 321. Therefore, when the winning prize opening 2005 is capable of receiving game balls, by allowing the winning prize opening 2005 to receive game balls, a lot of gaming balls can be paid out and the player can be entertained.

  When the special lottery result is “small hit”, the big winning opening 2005 is in an open state in which a game ball can be received for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). The opening / closing pattern to be closed is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice). On the other hand, when the special lottery result is “big hit”, a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses after the winning prize opening 2005 becomes open to accept game balls, or the winning prize opening 2005 When any of the conditions for accepting a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls is satisfied, an open / close pattern (a single open / close pattern is referred to as one round) that closes a game ball in an unacceptable state is predetermined. Repeats the number of times (a predetermined number of rounds). For example, an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player is generated by repeating two rounds for “2R jackpot”, five rounds for “5R jackpot”, and 15 rounds for “15R jackpot”.

  In “Big Bonus”, the probability that a special lottery result such as “Big Bonus” will be drawn after the end of the big hit game is changed (“probable hit”), or the display time of the stunning drawing picture indicating the special lottery result is changed. There is a "hit" to change ("short-time hit").

  In the present embodiment, the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004 are received from the start of the special lottery until the special lottery result is suggested by the acceptance of the game balls. When a game ball is accepted at the second start opening 2004, the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started, and therefore the start of the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result previously drawn is completed. The The number of reserved special lottery results to be held is up to four for each of the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, and for more than that, the first start port 2002 and the second start port Even if a game ball is accepted in 2004, the special lottery result is not put on hold and discarded. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the game hall side by accumulating the hold.

  The special lottery result is suggested by the function display unit 1400 and the game board side effect display device 1600. The function display unit 1400 is directly controlled by the main control board 1310 to suggest a special lottery result. The suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 suggests the special lottery result based on the combination of the LEDs that are turned on after a plurality of LEDs are repeatedly turned on / off and blinked for a predetermined time.

  On the other hand, in the game board side effect display device 1600, based on the control signal from the main control board 1310, it is indirectly controlled by the peripheral control board 1510, and a special lottery result is suggested as an effect picture pattern. The effect picture pattern suggesting the special lottery result on the game board side effect display device 1600 is displayed in a variable manner by changing each of the symbol strings in a state where three symbol strings composed of a plurality of symbols are displayed side by side. Each symbol row is stopped and displayed so that the symbols of the three symbol rows that are stopped and displayed are in a combination corresponding to the special lottery result. When the special lottery result is other than “losing”, after the three symbol sequences are stopped and each symbol is stopped and displayed, a finalized picture pattern suggesting the special lottery result is displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600. Then, an advantageous gaming state (for example, a small hit game, a big hit game, etc.) according to the lottery special lottery result occurs.

  The time indicating the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (LED blinking time (variation time)) and the time suggesting the special lottery result in the game board side effect display device 1600 (the symbol string varies). The time until the fixed picture pattern is displayed is different, and the function display unit 1400 is set to a longer time.

  Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to the display of the effect drawing picture for suggesting the special lottery result by the game board side effect display device 1600, the effect operation unit in the door frame 3 according to the lottery special lottery result. 400 operation buttons 410, door frame side effect display device 460, various decorative bodies of center accessory 2500, various decorative bodies of back unit 3000, rear back movable movable effect unit 3100, back upper left movable effect unit 3200, rear left movable It is possible to perform a light emission effect, a movable effect, a display effect, and the like by appropriately using the effect unit 3300, the back and middle movable effect unit 3400, the back bottom front movable effect unit 3500, and the like. It is possible to entertain the player and to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

[7. Relationship between the present embodiment and the present invention]
The lower tray ball removal hole 322a of the lower tray 322 of the tray unit 320 of the door frame 3 in this embodiment is a lower tray discharge port, and the lower tray ball supply port 323c and the lower tray ball on the bottom surface of the lower tray 322 of this embodiment. The portion between the punch hole 322a, the ball guiding portion 322c, the buffering portion 322d, and the return portion 322e are guiding means, and the lower dish ball supply port 323c of the dish unit base 323 in this embodiment is the lower dish ball supply port 323c. The dish unit cover 326, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a, the rendering operation unit 400, and the second rendering operation unit 400A in the present embodiment are covering portions, and the upper dish ball removal button 327 in the present embodiment is ejected. It is an operation unit.

[8. Characteristic effects of this embodiment]
Thus, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game balls can be stored below and in front of the game area 5a of the game board 5 in which a game is received such that the game balls are received in the general winning opening 2001 or the like. An upper plate 321 and a lower plate 322 are provided, and a lower plate ball supply port 323c and a lower plate ball are removed from the lower plate 322 by a production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A) arranged in the center in the left-right direction. Since more than half of the lower plate 322 including the hole 322a is difficult to see from the front (player) (is difficult to see), the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be refreshed to improve the appearance. The pachinko machine 1 with high appealing power that can attract the interest of In addition, since it is difficult to visually recognize the game ball heading from the lower tray ball supply port 323c to the lower tray ball removal hole 322a by the production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A), a game in the lower plate 322 is made to the player. This makes it difficult to notice the flow of the sphere and can prevent distraction, thereby suppressing a decrease in interest in the game.

  In addition, the lower tray ball supply port 323c and the lower plate on the bottom surface of the lower plate 322 for guiding the game ball from the lower plate ball supply port 323c to the lower plate ball release hole 322a by the production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A). Since it is difficult to see the game ball guided by the guiding means such as the ball guiding hole 322a, the ball guiding part 322c and the buffering part 322d, the lower dish ball hole 322a remains open. The game balls supplied from the lower tray ball supply port 323c to the lower tray 322 are guided by the guiding means and discharged smoothly (immediately) downward from the lower tray ball removal hole 322a. It is possible to make an illusion that the game ball is discharged below the lower plate 322 (dollar box) without passing through the lower plate 322. This makes it difficult for the player to feel the annoyance of the game ball passing through the lower plate 322, and makes it possible for the player to concentrate on the game and to suppress a decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, since the production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A) makes it difficult to see more than half of the lower plate 322 including the lower plate ball supply port 323c and the lower plate ball removal hole 322a from the front, it is probable. In addition, the lower dish ball supply port 323c, the lower dish ball removal hole 322a, and the like are located behind the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A). In other words, since more than half of the lower plate 322 is circulated to the rear of the production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A), the actual lower plate with respect to the size of the lower plate 322 seen from the front. Since the size (capacity) of 322 is large, it is possible to secure a sufficient amount of game balls to be stored in the lower plate 322 compared to the appearance.

  Further, in the state where the lower dish ball removal hole 322a is opened, the game balls released from the lower dish ball supply port 323c into the lower dish 322 are transferred to the lower dish ball supply port 323c and the lower dish ball on the bottom surface of the lower dish 322. Since it can be smoothly guided to the lower dish ball extraction hole 322a by the guiding means such as the part between the extraction hole 322a, the ball guiding part 322c and the buffering part 322d, and discharged to the lower part (dollar box) of the lower dish 322. Thus, it is possible to prevent the game ball from flowing so as to go around in the lower plate 322, and the game ball flowing through the lower plate 322 can be surely made difficult to visually recognize from the front (player). Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice the flow of the game ball in the lower plate 322, and to prevent the player from being distracted and to suppress a decrease in interest in the game.

  Furthermore, if the lower tray discharge port is left open, the game medium supplied to the lower plate from the lower tray ball supply port 323c is immediately lowered from the lower tray discharge port without notifying the player by the guiding means. Therefore, the player can be given an illusion that the game medium is discharged below the lower plate (dollar box) without passing through the lower plate. This makes it difficult for the player to feel the annoyance that the game medium passes through the lower plate, and makes it possible for the player to concentrate on the game and suppress a decrease in interest.

  In addition, since the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A) makes it difficult to view more than half of the storage area (storage area) of the game ball in the plan view of the lower dish 322 from the front, the lower dish visible from the front Since the actual lower plate 322 is more than double the size of the size that can be seen with respect to the size of 322, a sufficient amount of game balls can be secured in the same manner as the lower plate of a conventional pachinko machine.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the door frame 3 bulges forward under the front view of the game area 5a of the game board 5 in which a game is received such that the game ball is received in the general winning opening 2001 or the like. A production operation unit for attaching a large production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A) having the same height as the overall height of the plate unit cover 326 at the center in the left-right direction of the front surface of the plate unit cover 326 of the plate unit 320 And a dish front lower decoration portion 326c below the center in the vertical direction on both the left and right sides of the production operation unit mounting portion 326a on the front surface of the dish unit cover 326. Due to the shape, the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A) attached to the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a. But it can be able to show as to protrude greatly forward to stand out staging operation unit 400 (second staging operation unit 400A). Therefore, since the large-sized production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A) is seen in an emphasized state at the position where the upper plate and the lower plate were seen side by side in the conventional pachinko machine, On the other hand, it can be recognized that it is different from the conventional pachinko machine at a glance, and the pachinko machine 1 having high appealing power can be obtained. Then, the lower dish 322 is recessed backward from the dish front lower decoration part 326c that is recessed rearward on the left and right outer sides of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) on the front surface of the dish unit cover 326. A portion of the production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A) is circulated to the rear, and the amount of game balls stored in the lower plate 322 (the volume of the lower plate 322) can be sufficiently secured. It is not necessary to play while worrying that the lower plate 322 is filled with game balls, the player can be dedicated to the game, the game can be enjoyed, and the decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  In addition, since a part of the lower plate 322 wraps around the production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A), when the player puts his hand into the lower plate 322 from the front, the fingertip is placed on the lower plate. It is possible to make it difficult to touch the rear wall of 322 (the front surface of the dish unit base 323), the lower dish cover 340, and the like.
