Further, the other end (the left end portion on the side of the rear guide groove 201a in FIG. 17) of the lower product arm 216 is engaged with the lower portion of the lower product member 202 and is opened in the rear unit base 201 The lower arm guide groove (more specifically, the lower arm guide groove parallel to the rear guide groove 201a) 219 is slidably engaged.

  In the lower side product rear unit 105 having such a configuration, the lower side product member 202 is moved up and down by driving the lower side product lifting drive motor 215 and rotating the lower side product arm 216. As shown in FIG. 18 (a), when the lower part product guide projection 203 is engaged with the lower end of the rear guide groove 201a and the lower part product member 202 is disposed at the effect non-execution position (bottom dead position) The lower character member 202 is hidden behind the side rim character unit 104 and the lower character front unit 102 and becomes invisible from the front of the game board 6 (see FIG. 2). At this time, the lower part product position detection sensor 210 detects the lower part product position detection piece 209, and it can be grasped that the lower part product member 202 is disposed at the effect non-execution position. Further, as shown in FIG. 18B, when the lower side product guide projection 203 is engaged with the upper end portion of the rear guide groove 201a and the lower side product member 202 is disposed at the effect execution position (upper dead position) The lower part product member 202 is shifted from the rear of the side rim product unit 104 and the lower part product front unit 102 toward the center of the display 55a of the display 55 and visible from the front of the game board 6 (See FIG. 6).

Next, a control system centering on the game control device 58 for controlling the game progress of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 19, the game control device 58 is a CPU that controls game control, a ROM that stores control programs for game control, etc., and a RAM that is used as a work area during game control, an input unit (input Interface), an output unit (output interface) and the like. And various detection devices (magnetic sensor 223, radio wave sensor 224, first starting opening switch 46, second starting opening switch 47, second starting device switch 48, gate switch 29, gaming ball to each general winning opening 32, 42 Special gaming state (big hit state) in response to detection signals from the winning opening switch 225, the count switch 86, the front frame opening detection switch 226, the transparent member holding frame opening detection switch 227, the power supply device 228, etc. Perform various processing such as notification to the player, blackout response processing, and the like. Furthermore, each of the character units (the central character unit 101, the lower character front unit 102, the upper character unit 103, the side rim character unit 104, the lower character rear unit 105) via the effect control device 59. It functions as a control means to control the operation and the operation of the decoration open / close solenoid 95, or the payout control device 231, the prize winning port solenoid 85, the common electric solenoid 232 for opening / closing driving the ordinary motorized role 41a, the collective display 51, transmits a command signal to the external information terminal 234 or the like to control the game in an integrated manner.

  The effect control device 59, as shown in FIG. 20, is a CPU responsible for effect control, a PROM containing a control program for executing effect control, an image ROM containing image data and the like, and an image processing for displaying an image. It consists of VDP, input interface, output interface and so on. And, a signal generated along with the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, specifically, a control signal from the game control device 58, a signal from the effect button switch 237 provided on the game effect button 17, each feature Based on the signal etc. from the sensor provided in the units 101-105, the rendering operation of each of the bonus units 101-105 is controlled. Specifically, the display of the display unit 55a of the display device 55, the sound effect output from the upper speaker 11 and the lower speaker 16, the light emission and transparency of the panel decoration device 240 (light guide effect light emitting substrate 133 etc.) provided on the game board 6 The light emission of a frame decoration device 241 such as an LED provided on the member holding frame 8, the board effect device 242 provided on the game board 6 (a motor etc of each of the character units 101 to 105) and the transparent member holding frame 8 The drive of the frame effect device 243 such as a motor for driving the effect member (not shown) is controlled.

Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1, particularly the rendering operation of the game board 6 in the jackpot state, will be described.
Based on the fact that the game ball flowing down the game area 5 has won the start winning unit 38 (the first start winning opening 36, the second start winning opening 37) and the second start winning device 41 (special drawing variation display game (special drawing (1) When the variable display game, the special figure 2 variable display game) is executed, and the result of the special view variable display game is a big hit (special result mode), the game control device 58 is in the special game state (big hit state) The effect control device 59 performs fanfare processing based on the command from the game control device 58 to execute output of sound effects from the speakers 11 and 16, etc. After the fanfare processing ends, the big hit Operation processing in the state (opening and closing processing of the big winning opening 31 accompanying the progress of a plurality of rounds) is executed (see FIG. 21).

  In the operation processing in the big hit state, as shown in FIG. 22, the decoration opening and closing solenoid 95 is driven together with the large winning opening solenoid 85 to simultaneously open and close the large winning opening and closing member 84 and the decoration opening and closing member 94. Then, when the game ball is won in the special winning opening 31 and is detected by the count switch 86, the effect control device 59 executes the effect display control of the display device 55 based on the detection signal of the count switch 86, and the display device A moving image of the game ball flowing down toward the decoration opening and closing member 94 is displayed at a position of the display portion 55 a 55 above the decoration opening and closing member 94 in the open state. Therefore, the player can see and enjoy the effect as if the decoration opening / closing member 94 guides the game ball to the big winning opening 31 with the winning of the gaming ball to the big winning opening 31. In addition, the display of the animation of the gaming ball is the timing of the opening operation of the decoration opening / closing member 94 (the driving of the decoration opening / closing solenoid 95) regardless of the presence or absence of the winning (the detection of the count switch 86) to the big winning opening 31 of the gaming ball. It may be performed according to In addition, the decoration opening and closing member 94 may be set to be controlled by the effect control device 59, and when the opening pattern of the big winning opening and closing member 84 is short open, it does not operate, etc. The opening and closing member 94 and the big winning opening and closing member 84 may be operated asynchronously (independently). By setting in this manner, heat generated by the solenoids 85 and 95 is less likely to be stagnant, and the solenoids 85 and 95 are less likely to break down.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 21 and 23, when the fanfare process starts, the upper part product drive motor 169 of the upper part product unit 103 and the side rim product drive motor 189 of the side rim product unit 104 are driven. The upper part product rotating body 162 and most of the side edge product rotating bodies 182 (specifically, the side edge product rotating bodies 182 excluding the first side edge rotating body 182a located above the side edge character article unit 104 ) Is viewed from the front of the game board 6 and rotates clockwise. By this rotation operation, the upper part rotating body 162 moves the upper edge portion of the game board 6 from the left side to the right side of the game board 6, and most of the side rim rotating thing 182 is the first case ball flow down path. The side edge (right side in FIG. 23) to be the 26 side is moved from the upper side to the lower side of the game board 6 so that the player can hit the so-called right (pass the game ball over the center case 23 Instructing the player to perform a shooting operation so as to flow down the case ball flow down path 26), and encourages the player to win a prize in the big winning opening 31 of the gaming ball. In addition, the character "right-handed" is displayed on the display unit 55a of the display device 55. In addition, since the first side edge rotating body 182a located in the vicinity of the character "right-handed" rotates in reverse with the other rotating bodies 162 and 182, the player notices this reverse rotating operation and it is easy to turn his eyes on Furthermore, it is easy to put the character of "right-handed" into view. Therefore, it is easy to grasp that the pachinko gaming machine 1 has issued an instruction of “right strike”.

  When the big hit state ends, the effect control device 59 stops the driving of the upper character object drive motor 169 and the side edge character object drive motor 189 to end the effect of the right-handed instruction, and executes the ending process to display 55 Processing such as displaying an ending image on the display unit 55a of FIG. Then, after the end of the jackpot state, the gaming state changes the so-called power-support state (increases the probability of hitting in the common-play variation display game and shortens the variable display time of the common-play variation display game). When the opening / closing operation is frequently performed and the second starting winning device 41 is set to the general power support state where it is made easy to win the gaming ball, the upper part product drive motor 169 and the side rim product drive motor 189 are driven again. The upper character rotating body 162 and the side rim rotating body 182 are rotated clockwise as viewed from the front of the game board 6. By this rotation operation, the player is instructed to perform a so-called right hit, and the game ball is allowed to flow down to the first case ball flow down passage 26 to urge the second start winning device 41 to make a prize.

  The control of the upper part product drive motor 169 and the side rim product drive motor 189 in the big hit state may be set to a mode in which the drive and the stop are alternately repeated. For example, the upper part product drive motor 169 and the side rim product drive motor 189 are set to predetermined conditions (operation of one or two rotations of the first upper rotor 162a and the first side rim rotor 182a completed or set) It is possible to drive until a lapse of time is established, and then set to pause for a fixed period, and this drive and pause may be alternately repeated. Further, as shown in FIG. 24A, the upper part product drive motor 169 and the side rim product drive motor 189 may be set so as to alternately execute driving and stopping in cycles different from each other. In FIG. 24A, the drive time of the side rim product drive motor 189 (the rotation time of the side rim product rotation body 182) If it is set longer than the rotation time), but is set shorter than the drive time of the upper character product drive motor 169 (rotation time of the upper character product rotating body 162), the winning opening 31 than the upper character product effect unit It is easy to urge the player to win the game ball to the special winning opening 31 or the second start winning device 41 by making the rendering operation of the side trim unit 104 close to the second starting winning device 41 more noticeable. is there.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), in the rendering operation not only in the big hit state but also in the power support state, the upper part product drive motor 169 and the side rim product drive motor 189 are alternately alternately driven and stopped. It is also good. At this time, if the stop time in the big hit state and the stop time in the electric support state are set to be different, whether it is the big hit state or the electric support state depending on the difference in the presentation mode of each of the role rotating members 162, 182 Can understand. Moreover, since the period of the power support state is generally set to be longer than the period of the big hit state, the pause time in the power support state of each role driving motor 169, 189 is greater than the pause time in the big hit state If you set it too long, you can shorten the cumulative drive time of each bonus drive motor 169, 189 in the power support state, and try to suppress the inconvenience that the bonus drive motor 169, 189 is used excessively and the life becomes short. can do. Then, when a predetermined effect (for example, a display effect on the display device 55) is executed in the middle of the power support state, the driving of each of the role driving motors 169, 189 is stopped, and each of the role rotating members 162, If the rendering operation (rotation operation) by 182 is immediately ended, it is preferable that the player can easily pay attention to the predetermined rendering.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the power supply is interrupted due to the occurrence of a power failure in the game execution state or waiting for customers, when the power supply is resumed and recovery work from the power failure is performed, the central prize The operation check of the member 117 and the lower part product member 202 is performed. In the operation check, first, the presentation control device 59 drives the respective prize drive motors 169 and 189 (the central prize drive motor 120 and the lower side prize elevator drive motor 215) to cause a power failure of each prize member 117 and 202. The production operation (raising and lowering operation) is performed from the stopped state at the time to return to the production non-execution position. Then, each piece position detection piece (central piece position detection piece 128, lower side piece position detection piece 209) is each piece position detection sensor (central piece position detection sensor 129, lower piece position detection sensor 210) ) Detects that the combination members 117 and 202 have returned to the effect non-execution position, respectively continue to drive each combination product drive motor 169, 189 to effect non-execution of the combination members 117 and 202 It moves from the position to the effect execution position, and returns again to the effect non-execution position.

  In this manner, the operation check is performed, and detection of each piece position detection piece 128, 209 by each piece position detection sensor 129, 210 (in other words, movement of each piece member 117, 202 to the effect non-execution position) When it is confirmed twice with a predetermined check interval time, it is determined that each of the accessory members 117 and 202 has operated normally. On the other hand, when the second detection can not be confirmed even after the check interval time has elapsed, or when the second detection has been confirmed before the check interval time has elapsed, the operation of each of the accessory members 117 and 202 is abnormal. It is determined that the notification output is abnormal, and notification output (such as notification sound output from the speakers 11 and 16 and error display on the display device 55) is executed.

  In addition, in the operation check, the character components 117 and 202 are not returned from the stop position at power failure to the effect non-execution position, but instead are moved to the effect execution position and then moved to the effect non-execution position You may run a check. In this case, an effect execution detection sensor (not shown) capable of detecting each of the item position detection pieces 128 and 209 when each item member 117, 202 reaches the effect execution position Separately from 129 and 210, generation of detection of each part position detection piece 128, 209 by the effect execution detection sensor and generation of detection of each part position detection piece 128, 209 by the part position detection sensor 129, 210 The interval is determined to determine whether the operation of each of the accessory members 117 and 202 is good or not. If the operation check is performed without reciprocating the combination members 117 and 202 in this manner, the time required for the operation check can be shortened, and hence the time until recovery from the power failure can be shortened.

  Next, the main processing of the game control device 58 will be described. In addition, the control processing in the game control device 58 has a predetermined time period as a main processing (see FIG. 25 and FIG. 26) which is a main routine including processing at power on and loop processing and an interrupt routine for loop processing in the main processing. The timer interrupt process (see FIG. 27) performed in (for example, 4 ms).

  The main processing is started by turning on the pachinko gaming machine 1. In this main process, as shown in FIG. 25, an interrupt vector setting process (step S1) is first performed to set a vector address of a jump destination to be executed when an interrupt occurs after the process (step S1) for inhibiting an interrupt is performed. Step S2), a stack pointer setting process (step S3) for setting a stack pointer which is the start address of an area for saving values of registers etc when an interrupt occurs, a process for reading the state of the input port of the game control device 58 (step S3) Step S4) An interrupt mode setting process (step S5) is performed to set the mode of the interrupt process.

  Next, the power on delay timer is set (step S6) and the number of checks of the power failure monitoring signal is set (step S7), and it is determined whether the power failure monitoring signal is on (step S8). If the power failure monitoring signal is on, it is determined whether the power failure monitoring signal remains on for the number of checks set in step S7 (step S8). Then, if the on state of the power failure monitoring signal for the number of checks continues, that is, if it is determined that a power failure occurs, the process waits and the on state of the power failure monitoring signal for the number of checks continues. If not, the process returns to step S8 and the determination of the power failure monitoring signal is executed again. If the power failure monitoring signal is not on in step S8, that is, if it is determined that a power failure has not occurred, the power on delay timer is updated by -1 (step S10), and the power on delay timer is 0 It is determined whether or not it becomes (step S11), and if it is not 0, the process returns to step S7. Then, if the power on delay timer is 0 in step S11, access to the readable and writable RAM is permitted (step S12), and all ports of the output unit are turned off (no output) (step S13) A process of setting a serial port is performed (step S14).

  Further, it is determined whether or not the initialization switch provided in the power supply device 228 is ON (step S15), and if it is determined that the initialization switch is not ON, the power failure inspection area 1 in the RAM is Whether the value is normal power failure inspection area check data 1 is checked (step S16). If the value of power failure inspection area 1 is normal, the power failure inspection area check data whose power failure inspection region 2 value in RAM is normal If the value of the power failure inspection area 2 is normal, the checksum is normal in order to determine whether the data stored in the RAM is normal or not. Find out if it is. Specifically, the checksum of the area in the RAM is calculated (step S18), and it is determined whether the calculated checksum and the checksum stored in the RAM when there is a power failure match. (Step S19). When it is determined that the checksum is normal, that is, when it is determined that the data stored in the RAM is normal, the initial value upon power failure recovery is saved in the area to be initialized (step S20), the area where the gaming state in the RAM is stored is checked and the gaming state is in a high probability state (specifically, the probability that the result aspect of the special view fluctuation display game is a big hit is set higher than during normal gaming It is determined whether or not the state is the state (step S21), and when it is determined that the state is the high probability state, the on information is saved in the high probability notification flag area (step S22). The on data for lighting the high probability notification LED to be set is set in the segment area (step S23). And when it determines with not being a high probability state in step S21, or when preparing to turn on high probability alerting | reporting LED in step S23, it is prepared in order to perform a special figure game processing rationally The command at the time of power failure recovery corresponding to the process number is transmitted to the effect control device 59 (step S24).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S15 that the initialization switch is on, or if it is determined that the value of the power failure inspection area is abnormal in steps S16 and S17, or the checksum is abnormal in step S19. If it is determined, the area to be initialized is executed by clearing all work areas before the access prohibited area (step S25) and clearing all stack areas after the access prohibited area (step S26). The initial value at power-on is saved in step S27. Furthermore, the execution flag is saved in the lighting confirmation execution flag area (step S28), and a command at the time of power on is transmitted to the effect control device 59 (step S29).

  Then, after transmitting the command at the time of power failure recovery to the effect control device 59 at step S24 or after transmitting the command at the time of power on to the effect control device 59 at step S29, the timer interrupt signal and the random number update trigger signal The CTC (Counter / Timer Circuit) circuit that generates the signal is activated (step S30), and the random number generation circuit is activated and set (step S31). Furthermore, the value of the soft random number register in the random number generation circuit when the power is turned on is extracted to determine various initial value random numbers (initial value of random numbers for determining the big hit symbol in the special figure variation display game, or winning symbol in the common figure variation display game To save in the RAM as the initial value of the random number to determine (step S32), to permit the interrupt prohibited in step S1 (step S33), and to update the values of various initial value random numbers to break the regularity of the random numbers. Initial value random number update processing is performed (step S34).

  If the initial value random number update process is executed in step S34, the power failure monitoring signal input from the power supply device 228 is read via the port and data bus to check whether a power failure has occurred or not. The number of times to do is set (step S35), and it is determined whether the power failure monitoring signal is ON (step S36). If the power failure monitoring signal is not on, that is, if it is determined that a power failure has not occurred, the process returns to step S34, and the initial value random number updating process (step S34) sets the number of checks of the power failure monitoring signal (step S34) S35) The determination of the power failure monitoring signal (step S36) is repeated. On the other hand, if the power failure monitoring signal is on, it is determined whether the power failure monitoring signal remains on for the number of checks set in step S35 (step S37). Then, if the on state of the power failure monitoring signal for the number of checks has not continued, the process returns to step S36, the determination of the power failure monitoring signal is executed again, and the on state of the power failure monitoring signal for the number of checks continues. If it is determined that there is a power failure, that is, a process of temporarily prohibiting an interrupt (step S38) and a process of outputting off data to all output ports (step S39). Furthermore, after performing processing of saving blackout inspection area check data in each blackout inspection area (steps S40 and S41) and calculation of checksum of RAM at the time of power shutdown (step S42), the checksum is saved ( Step S43) After performing processing for prohibiting access to the RAM (step S44), the process waits until the pachinko gaming machine 1 is powered off.

  In the timer interrupt process, as shown in FIG. 27, first, the value held in the predetermined register is transferred to the RAM and the register save process is performed (step S51), and various detection devices (magnetic sensor 223, radio wave sensor 224) , Input processing for capturing inputs from the first start port switch 46, the second start port switch 47, the second start device switch 48, the gate switch 29 etc.) (step S52), based on output data set in various processing Then, an output process (step S53) is performed to drive and control an actuator such as a solenoid (large winning opening solenoid 85, common pressure solenoid 232).

  Next, a payout command transmission process (step S54) for outputting a command set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the payout control device 231, a random number update process 1 (step S55), and a random number update process 2 (step S56) are performed. Thereafter, monitoring whether or not there is an input of a normal signal from the game ball detection sensor such as the first start opening switch 46, the second start opening switch 47, the winning opening switch 225, etc., the front frame 3 and the transparent member holding frame A winning opening switch / error monitoring process (step S57) is performed to monitor errors such as whether 8 is not released. Further, a distribution state update process (step S58), a special figure game process (step S59) for performing a process related to a special figure variation display game, and a regular drawing game process (step S60) for performing a process related to a common drawing variation display game are performed.

  Segment LED editing process (step S61) for editing the display contents of each variable display game on the batch display device 51 and the display contents of various information related to the game when the processing of each variable display game is executed, detection from the magnetic sensor 223 Magnetic fraud monitoring process (step S62) to check the signal to check whether there is an abnormality, radio wave fraud monitoring process (step S63) to check the detection signal from the radio sensor 224 (step S63), various external devices The external information editing process (step S64) is performed to set the signal to be output to the output buffer. Then, the interrupt request is cleared and the end of the interrupt is declared (step S65), the data of the register saved in step S51 is restored (step S66), the interrupt is permitted (step S67), and the timer interrupt processing is ended. .

  Next, control performed by the effect control device 59 will be described. Control processing by the effect control device 59 mainly includes main processing and interrupt processing performed in a predetermined time period (for example, 2 milliseconds). In the main processing, as shown in FIG. 28, first, processing at the start of the program is performed. In the process at the start of the program, first, the interrupt is prohibited (step S71), the CPU is initialized (step S72), the VDP is initialized (step S73), and the interrupt is permitted (step S74). Further, generation of display data is permitted (step S75), a random number seed is set (step S76), and an initial value at power on is saved in an area of the effect control device 59 to be initialized (step S77).

  Next, loop processing is performed as main loop processing. In the processing of this loop, first, WDT (watch dog timer) is cleared (step S78), and effect button input processing (step S79) for creating input information from an input signal based on the operation of the game effect button 17 is performed. Then, when setting or changing the changeable range such as the luminance and volume of light emission in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed by a game clerk or player in the game hall, player setting mode processing for accepting this operation (step S80) , Effect point control process (step S 81), random number update process (step S 82) for updating the random numbers to determine the details of the variation mode of the decoration special view variation display game is performed, and the command transmitted from the game control device 58 is correctly received A reception command check process (step S83) to determine whether or not it has been performed is performed. Further, the effect display editing process (step S84) of finally setting the drawing data in the frame buffer by updating various data in accordance with the contents to be drawn is set, and the preparation end of the drawing command is set (step S85).

  After the end of step S85, the process waits until the frame switching timing arrives (step S86; No), and if it arrives (step S86; Yes), it instructs VDP to draw a screen (step S87). Next, a sound control process (step S88) for controlling the output of sound from the speakers 11 and 16; a decoration control process (step S89) for controlling the LED of the panel decoration device 240 and the frame decoration device 241; The movable body control process (step S90) for controlling the motor and the solenoid of the frame rendering device 243 is performed. Next, a light guide plate control process (step S91) for controlling the light emission decoration by the light guide plate 131 of the central character unit 101 is performed, and the process returns to the process of clearing the WDT (step S78).

  On the other hand, in the interrupt process of the effect control device 59, as shown in FIG. 29, first, a timer update process (step S101) is performed to update the soft timer managed by the program. Next, an input process (step S102) for processing a signal input to the effect control device 59 and an output process (step S103) for processing a signal output from the effect control device 59 are performed. Next, main command reception processing (step S104) for receiving a command regarding the game transmitted from the game control device 58 to the effect control device 59 is performed, and the interrupt processing is ended.

  By the way, in the central product unit 101 of the first embodiment, the central product member 117 is supported by only the central movable arm 116 to be able to move up and down, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the central accessory unit 101 'of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 30 basically has the same configuration as the first embodiment, but separately from the central movable guide groove 110a and the central accessory guide protrusion 127. It differs in that it has a mechanism for engaging the central product member 117 with the central unit base 110. In the game board 6 of the second embodiment, the drive mechanism of the light guiding effect mechanism 112 of the central character unit 101 'and the drive mechanism of the lower character rear unit 105' also have a configuration different from the first embodiment. . The light guide effect mechanism 112 and the lower part rear unit 105 'will be described in detail later.

  First, the configuration for engaging the central product member 117 in the second embodiment will be specifically described. As shown in FIG. 30, the central product unit 101 'includes a central unit base 110 and the central unit base 110. Between the central product guide protrusion 127 of the central product member 117 (in other words, the mounting of the central product member 117 to the central unit base 110) A presentation engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 is provided to repeatedly engage and disengage the central unit base 110 at a point different from the point). The central combination product member 117 of the second embodiment has the central decoration panel 251 attached to the lower edge portion of the rear side base portion 125 and faces the front of the central combination material member 117 (see FIG. 31). .

  The effect engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 is provided on the member-side engagement / disengagement portion 253 provided on the upper portion of the central product member 117 and the central unit base 110, and can be engaged / disengageable with the member-side engagement / disengagement portion 253. And 254 are configured. The member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 is a flat portion facing the upper side of the central product member 117, and is configured by attaching a metal adsorption portion 255 to which a magnetic force can act on the rear side base portion 125 (see FIG. 31). Further, the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254 is arranged at a position located above the central item member 117 and the central movable arm 116 in the central unit base 110, and becomes a base of the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254. An end portion (left end portion in FIG. 30) of the engagement portion main body 256 in the longitudinal direction is provided with an engagement / disengagement pivot shaft 258 (FIG. 32 (b) and FIG. 33 (b)) can be pivoted in a rotatable state, and the other end (right end in FIG. 30), which is the free end of the engagement / disengagement body 256, can attract the adsorption portion 255 by magnetic force The magnet portion 257 is pivotally mounted in a swingable state. Further, the engagement / disengagement guide projection 259 is protruded from the other end of the engagement / disengagement main body 256 toward the front side of the central unit base 110, and the vertical arc-shaped engagement / disengagement opened on the upper side of the central unit base 110 The engagement / disengagement guide projection 259 is slidably engaged with the guide groove 260 (see FIG. 32B). Then, as shown in FIG. 32, the lower end portion of the engagement / disengagement biasing member 261 such as a coil spring is engaged with the longitudinal middle portion of the engagement / disengagement main body 256, and the upper end portion of the engagement / disengagement biasing member 261 Is locked to the upper edge portion of the central unit base 110, and the biasing force of the engagement / disengagement biasing member 261 always biases the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254 upward.

  As shown in FIG. 32 (a), the magnet unit 257 is configured by housing a permanent magnet 265 in a magnet holder 264, and the lower surface of the magnet unit 257 is used as the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 (see FIG. 34). The upper end of the magnet holder 264 is pivotably connected to the free end of the base engagement / disengagement section 254 so that the engagement / disengagement contact is possible. The inclination attitude of the surface 266 (the inclination attitude (in FIG. 32A, the inclination attitude in the left-right direction in FIG. 32A) inclined along the longitudinal direction of the base engagement / disengagement portion 254) can be changed by the swing of the magnet portion 257. . Then, by setting the fitting of the bearing to the base-side engagement / disengagement portion 254 of the magnet portion 257 to be an intermediate fit or a clearance fit, the magnet portion 257 can not rotate by its own weight and can not change its inclined posture. However, when external force is applied, it is configured to rotate and change the inclined posture.

  As shown in FIGS. 33 and 34, in the normal state where the central combination member 117 is arranged at the non-execution position in the central combination unit 101 'provided with the presentation engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 having such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. The disengaging portion 254 is pivoted upward by the biasing force of the engagement / disengagement biasing member 261, and the engagement / disengagement guide projection 259 is engaged with the upper end portion of the engagement / disengagement guide groove 260 to be set in the top dead state (uppermost state). Ru. Then, the base-side engagement / disengagement portion 254 in the top dead state brings the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 of the magnet portion 257 into surface contact with the member-side engagement / disengagement portion 253 and adsorbs the member-side engagement / disengagement portion 253 to the magnet portion 257. Thus, the effect engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 engages the central prize member 117 and the central unit base 110 with an engagement force (adsorption force, magnetic force) of a predetermined strength. Therefore, the central character unit 101 'can maintain the state of the central character member 117 by the effect engagement / disengagement mechanism 250, and the central character member 117 inadvertently performs an operation different from the setting (details Can avoid the disadvantage of shifting downward from the effect non-execution position).

  Further, when the central movable arm 116 is pivoted downward by the drive of the central character drive motor 120 to start lowering the central character member 117 from the effect non-execution position, as shown in FIG. The member-side engagement / disengagement portion 253 (adsorption portion 255), which descends with it, pulls down the base-side engagement / disengagement portion 254 and pivots downward against the biasing force of the engagement / disengagement biasing member 261 (in other words, the central prize member Move along the direction of movement 117). Therefore, even if the central combination member 117 is moving up and down, the state engaging and disengaging mechanism 250 can maintain the central combination member 117 engaged with the central unit base 110 and held. It is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the accessory member 117 performs an operation different from setting carelessly. Therefore, even if the operation mode is various, the operation of the central character member 117 can be stabilized easily, and the interest of the game can be enhanced. Furthermore, since the magnet portion 257 is provided rotatably in the base side engagement portion 254 so that the posture of the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 can be changed, the member side engagement portion 253 and the base side engagement portion 254 The engagement can be continued without any trouble, and the operation of the central prize member 117 can be further stabilized.

  Subsequently, when the central movable arm 116 is further rotated downward to continue lowering the central item member 117, the base engagement / disengagement portion 254 engages the engagement / disengagement guide projection 259 with the lower end of the engagement / disengagement guide groove 260 to lower When it is converted to the dead state (the most lowered state) and the central combination member 117 is further lowered in this state, the magnet portion 257 of the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254 which is in the bottom dead state and the central combination member to be lowered continuously A force (in other words, a force to separate the central product member 117 and the central unit base 110) acts to separate the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 (the adsorption portion 255) of 117. Then, when the separation force is gradually increased to a magnitude equal to or greater than the adsorption force (engagement force) acting between the magnet portion 257 and the adsorption portion 255, as shown in FIG. 36, the magnet portion 257 and the adsorption portion 255. Are separated from each other against the adsorption force, and the effect engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 releases the state of engaging and holding the central product member 117 with the central unit base 110. At this time, one side edge (right side edge in FIG. 36A) of the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 is closer to the rotation shaft side of the magnet portion 257 than the other side edge (left side edge in FIG. 36A). Since the rotational force of the attraction force (magnetic force) acting on one side edge of the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 is about the pivot axis of the adsorption force (magnetic force) acting on the other side edge It becomes larger than the rotation moment of. As a result, the magnet portion 257 pivots in a direction to turn the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 toward the bearing of the central movable arm 116 (counterclockwise in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 36A). One side edge is first released from the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253, and then the other side is released from the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253. Thus, the rotation of the magnet portion 257 can be used to smoothly separate the magnet portion 257 and the suction portion 255 from each other.

  When the magnet portion 257 and the adsorption portion 255 are separated, as shown in FIG. 37 and FIG. 38, the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254 does not return the rotation of the magnet portion 257, and upward due to the biasing force of the engagement / disengagement biasing member 261. Then, the engagement / disengagement guide projection 259 is engaged with the upper end of the engagement / disengagement guide groove 260 to return to the top dead state. In addition, when the central character drive motor 120 is continuously driven to turn the central movable arm 116 downward, the central character member 117 reaches the effect execution position

  Then, when the central combination product drive motor 120 is driven to rotate in reverse, and the central movable arm 116 is rotated upward, the central combination member 117 rises from the effect execution position and approaches the base-side engagement / disengagement unit 254 in the top dead state. . At this time, since the rotation state when the magnet portion 257 is released from the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 is maintained, one side edge of the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 which is released first from the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 ( In FIG. 39, the left side edge is farther from the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 than the other side edge (the right side edge in FIG. 39) which is separated later. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 39, the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 and the other side edge of the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 first come in contact (adsorption), and the central character member 117 continues to ascend to perform non-execution When the position is reached, the magnet portion 257 is rotated by the pressing force of the central product member 117 and the adsorption force acting between the magnet portion 257 and the adsorption portion 255, and the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 and the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 Contacts with one side edge of the As a result, the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 and the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 adsorb in a surface contact state.

  In this manner, in the effect engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 that enables the central product member 117 to be engaged and disengaged, the central portion is generated by the adsorption force (magnetic force) generated between the magnet portion 257 and the member side engagement and disengagement portion 253 (adsorption portion 255). Since the accessory member 117 and the central unit base 110 are engaged and held, a mechanism for stabilizing the operation of the central accessory member 117 can be realized with a simple configuration.

Next, a light guide effect mechanism 112 'according to the second embodiment will be described.
The light guide effect mechanism 112 'of the second embodiment basically has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, but differs in that two light guide plates are provided in a state of being stacked in front and back. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 40 (a) to (c), the first light guide plate 271 on the front side and the second light guide plate 272 on the rear side are arranged to overlap in the front and back direction. A plurality of first side light emitting members (full color LEDs) 275 are arranged side by side along the side edge of the first light guide plate 271 (the right side in FIG. 40 (a)); A plurality of first lower light emitting members (full color LEDs) 276 are arranged below the lower portion 271 along the lower edge of the first light guide plate 271. Further, a plurality of second side light emitting members (single color LEDs) 277 are arranged along the side edge of the second light guide plate 272 and arranged on the side of the second light guide plate 272 (right side in FIG. 40B). It is set up.

  Then, a first peripheral dot pattern (effect display) DPE representing drawing of a broken line with a plurality of fine transparent protrusions is applied to the central peripheral portion of the back surface of the first light guide plate 271, and the first peripheral dot pattern DPE In each of the transparent protrusions, a bent portion (FIG. 12B) in which only the light irradiated from the first side light emitting member 275 (light entering the first light guide plate 271 from the side) is bent forward of the light guiding effect mechanism 112 ′. Not shown). Further, a first central dot pattern (character display) DPC for expressing drawing of a character by a plurality of fine transparent projections is applied to the central portion of the first light guide plate 271, and each transparent projection of the first central dot pattern DPC The first light emitting member 276 has a bending portion (not shown) that bends only light emitted from the lower light emitting member 276 (light entering the first light guide plate 271 from the lower side) to the front of the light guiding effect mechanism 112 ′. There is. Furthermore, a second dot pattern (shutter display) DPS expressing the drawing of a plurality of star marks with a plurality of fine transparent protrusions is applied to the entire back surface of the second light guide plate 272, and each transparent of the second dot pattern DPS. A bent portion (not shown) in which only the light irradiated from the second side light emitting member 277 (light entering the second light guide plate 272 from the side) is bent forward of the light guiding effect mechanism 112 ′ in the protrusion Is equipped. Note that a second light guide window 272a that avoids the formation of the second dot pattern DPS is set in part of the back surface of the second light guide plate 272 (the upper right corner in FIG. 40C). Contents displayed on the rear of the second light guide window 272a of the 55 display units 55a (for example, a symbol change of the variable display game and an instruction sentence of “right-handed”) do not overlap with the second dot pattern DPS It is configured to be seen from the player side (see FIGS. 40 (d) and (e)).

  In the light guide effect mechanism 112 ′ having such a configuration, the first side light emitting member 275 and the first lower light emitting member 276 are caused to emit light without causing the second side light emitting member 277 to emit light, and the first light When light is made to enter only the light plate 271, as shown in FIG. 40 (d), light emission decoration in which the first central dot pattern DPC and the first peripheral dot pattern DPE emit light is executed. Further, when the second side light emitting member 277 is made to emit light without causing the first side light emitting member 275 and the first lower light emitting member 276 to emit light, and light is made to enter only the second light guide plate 272, as shown in FIG. As shown in), the light emission decoration in which the second dot pattern DPS emits light is performed. The execution timing and the execution mode of the light emission decoration by the light guide effect mechanism 112 'may be set in any manner. For example, when the display content performed by the display device 55 shifts from the reach state of the decorative special pattern variation display game to the next effect display, at least one of the first central dot pattern DPC or the first peripheral dot pattern DPE is emitted An effect (in other words, light emission of at least one of the first side light emitting member 275 or the first lower light emitting member 276) may be performed. In addition, when prompting the player to hit the game ball in the right direction, the display unit 55a of the display device 55 displays a command statement of "right-handed" to make the second light guide window 272a face forward, The two-side light emitting member 277 may emit light to emit the second dot pattern DPS (see FIG. 40E).

  Furthermore, by gradually increasing or decreasing the number of light emissions of the side light emitting members, it is possible to execute an effect that the light emission locations of the dot pattern increase or decrease stepwise. For example, as shown in FIG. 41 (a), in the case where the light emitting decoration on the first light guide plate 271 is performed while the decorative feature variation display game is displayed on the display unit 55a of the display device 55, the decoration If the light emission number of the first side light emitting member 275 is sequentially increased from the upper side with the progress of the special view fluctuation display game, the light emission decoration is performed in a mode in which the first peripheral dot pattern DPE is expanded stepwise from the upper side to the lower side be able to. Further, as shown in FIG. 41B, when the light emission decoration is performed by the second light guide plate 272, if the number of light emissions of the second side light emitting member 277 is increased in order from the upper and lower sides, the second dot pattern Luminescent decoration can be performed in a mode in which the DPS gradually covers the display content of the display unit 55a from both the upper and lower edges (a mode in which the shutter is closed).

Next, the lower side product rear unit 105 'of the second embodiment will be described.
The lower side product rear unit 105 'of the second embodiment basically has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, but when the lower side product member 202 reaches the effect execution position, the lower side product member 202 is The difference is that the decoration panel's posture is configured to change. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 42 and FIG. 43, the lower side item member 202 in the second embodiment is mounted to the rear unit base 201 so as to be vertically movable. It comprises: 205 'and a lower part decoration panel 206' disposed on the front side of the lower part base 205 '. In addition, the lower part decoration panel 206 'is formed in a crescent shape in a tilted posture, and the central portion in the left-right direction is pivotally mounted to the lower part base 205' in a rotatable state, A panel swinging protrusion 281 is provided on the lower side workpiece lifting drive motor 215 side (right side in FIG. 42A) so that it can slide in the swinging guide groove 282 of the lower side workpiece base 205 '. It is engaged in the state. Furthermore, a rocking arm gear 283 is engaged above the lower arm gear 217, and a rocking arm 284 is extended from the rocking arm gear 283 so that the tip of the rocking arm 284 can be engaged with the panel rocking projection 281 In the normal state where the lower side product member 202 is disposed at the effect non-execution position, the swinging arm 284 extends to the lower side product moving up and down drive motor 215 side (right side in FIG. 42A). The tip of the swing arm gear 283 is sufficiently separated from the panel swing protrusion 281. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 42 (b) and (c), an inclined surface 284a inclined with respect to the extending direction of the swing arm 284 is formed at the tip of the swing arm 284 to form a panel swing projection. The width may be set so that the 281 can be easily engaged, or the panel swing protrusion 281 may be provided with a notch 284b that can be engaged.

  In the lower side product rear unit 105 ′ having such a configuration, when the lower side product arm 216 is rotated upward by driving the lower side product lifting drive motor 215, the lower side arm gear 217 meshes with the lower arm gear 217. The swinging arm gear 283 and the swinging arm 284 rotate to approach the lower side workpiece member 202. Then, as shown in FIG. 42 (d), the tip of the swing arm 284 engages with the panel swing projection 281 immediately before the lower side product member 202 reaches the effect execution position (upper dead position). . Further, when the lower side workpiece drive motor 215 is continuously driven and the lower side workpiece member 202 reaches the effect execution position (upper dead position), as shown in FIG. The rocking protrusion 281 is pressed, and the lower character decoration panel 206 'is rotated by this pressing force to convert the tilting posture into the standing posture. The swing arm 284 may be rotated by any mechanism as long as it can press the panel swing projection 281 of the lower part product decoration panel 206 'in the effect execution position. For example, a drive motor (not shown) may be provided in the lower workpiece rear unit 105 ′ separately from the lower workpiece lift drive motor 215, and the swing arm 284 may be operated by the drive of the drive motor.

  And the game board 6 of 2nd Embodiment can perform various effects using the structure different from 1st Embodiment. For example, in the effect execution example shown in FIG. 44, the light guide effect mechanism 112 ′ executes the effect along with other configurations in a scene that urges the player to hit the right. Specifically, when the effect is produced by rotating the upper character rotating body 162 and the side rim rotating body 182 clockwise as viewed from the front of the game board 6 to urge the player to hit the game ball right, The second side light emitting member 277 of the effect mechanism 112 'is all emitted to emit light to display the second dot pattern DPS, and the display unit 55a of the display device 55 displays the character "right-handed" and the variable display symbol in the contracted state. Is displayed to face forward from the second light guide window 272a. This makes it possible to strongly appeal the player (especially, a beginner who is not familiar with the manner of playing the game) with the right-handed instruction of the game ball, and the game ball is shot in vain in a direction in which winning is difficult. It can try to suppress the decrease in the interest of

  The light guide plate control process (step S91) for controlling the rendering operation of the light guide effect mechanism 112 'is, as shown in FIG. 45, at the timing when the light emission display of the first central dot pattern (character display) DPC is performed first. It is determined whether or not the light emission display timing of the first central dot pattern DPC arrives, and setting is made to light all the first lower light emitting members 276 (step S112). After the execution of step S112, or when it is determined in step S111 that it is not the timing of light emission display of the first central dot pattern DPC, sequential light emission display of the first peripheral dot pattern (effect display) DPE (FIG. ) Is determined (step S113), and when the timing of the sequential light emission display of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE comes, the number of light emissions of the first side light emitting member 275 is gradually increased The setting to increase (sequential light emission) is performed (step S114). After the execution of step S114, or when it is determined in step S113 that it is not the timing of sequential light emission display of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE, all light emission display of the first peripheral dot pattern (effect display) DPE (FIG. a) Determine whether or not it is time to perform (step S115), and when the timing for displaying all light emission of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE comes, all the first side light emitting members 275 are simultaneously Setting to emit light (all light emission) is performed (step S116).

  After the execution of step S116, or when it is determined in step S115 that it is not the timing of the full emission display of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE, the sequential emission display of the second dot pattern (shutter display) DPS (FIG. (See step S117), and when the timing of sequential light emission display of the second dot pattern DPS comes, the number of light emissions of the second side light emitting member 277 is gradually increased The setting to do (sequential light emission) is performed (step S118). After execution of step S118, or when it is determined in step S117 that it is not the timing of sequential light emission display of the second dot pattern DPS, all light emission display of the second dot pattern (shutter display) DPS (FIG. 40 (c) 44 and when it is determined that the timing of the light emission display of the second dot pattern DPS has come, all the second side light emitting members 277 are simultaneously selected. Setting to emit light (all light emission) is performed (step S120). After execution of step S120, or when it is determined in step S119 that it is not the timing of all light emission display of the second dot pattern DPS, the light guide plate control process is ended.

  Also, in the effect execution example shown in FIGS. 46 and 47, the player is instructed to hit the left (to perform a shooting operation to cause the game ball to flow down to the second case ball flow down path 27) to start the game ball. In order to urge winning of the winning unit 38 (more specifically, the game ball enters the start winning unit 38 through the ball introducing path 79 and the stage portion 76 from the second case ball flow down path 27) The rotating body 162, the side edge role thing rotating body 182, the light guide effect mechanism 112 ', and the lower side feature member 202 perform rendering operations.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 47 (a), when the power support state ends, the effect control device 59 stops the driving of the upper part product drive motor 169 and the side rim product drive motor 189 and Finishing the strike instruction (rotation of the upper character rotating body 162 and the side rim rotating body 182 in the clockwise direction), the upper body driving motor 169 and the side rim driving motor 189 in the power supply state. Drive by driving in the reverse direction to drive the upper character rotating body 162 and most of the side edge character rotating body 182 (specifically, the side excluding the first side edge rotating body 182a located above the side edge character article unit 104 As seen from the front of the game board 6, the peripheral object rotating body 182) rotates counterclockwise. By this rotation operation, the upper edge portion of the upper character rotating body 162 is moved to the left side of the game board 6 from the right side to the left side of the game board 6, and most of the side rim character rotating body 182 is the first case ball flow down path. The side edge portion (right side portion in FIG. 46) to be the 26th side is moved from the lower side to the upper side of the game board 6 to instruct the player to hit the left. In addition, the second side light emitting member 277 of the light guiding effect mechanism 112 'emits light to display the second dot pattern DPS, and the display portion 55a of the display device 55 displays the character "left-handed" and the special view 1 The number display of the number of reservations (display indicated by “0” in FIG. 46) and the number display of the special number 2 suspension number (display indicated by “4” in FIG. 46) to display the second light guide The variable display symbol in the contracted state is displayed from the window 272a to the front, and the display 55a is exposed to the front from a position shifted downward from the second dot pattern DPS. In addition, since the first side edge rotating body 182a located in the vicinity of the character of "left-handed" rotates in reverse with the other rotating bodies 162 and 182, the player notices this reverse rotating operation and makes it easy to turn his eyes. Furthermore, it is easy to put the character of "left strike" into view. Therefore, it is easy to grasp that the pachinko gaming machine 1 has issued an instruction of “left strike”. Furthermore, the lower side object lift drive motor 215 is driven to raise the lower side object member 202 from the effect non-execution position to the effect execution position to convert the lower side object decoration panel 206 'from the inclined posture to the upright state The upper portion of the lower part decoration panel 206 'is made to face forward from the case window 62 of the center case 23 in the vertical orientation along the second case flow passage 27.

  Then, when the preset left hitting instruction effect time has elapsed, the driving of the upper character object driving motor 169 and the side edge character object driving motor 189 is stopped, the light emission of the second side light emitting member 277 is stopped, and the display 55 is displayed. The stop of the left hitting indication display in the section 55a is executed. Further, the lower side object lifting drive motor 215 is driven to lower the lower side object member 202 from the effect execution position to the effect non-execution position, and return from the standing posture to the inclined posture. In this way, if the instruction of the left strike of the gaming ball is executed by the rendering operation of the upper character rotating body 162, the side rim rotating member 182, the light guiding effect mechanism 112 'and the lower character member 202, the game Can strongly appeal to the left. In addition, also in the effect of the left hitting instruction, the control of the upper part product drive motor 169 and the side rim product drive motor 189 may be set to a state in which the drive and the stop are alternately repeated.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 47 (b), when the interruption execution of the separate predetermined effect is instructed during the execution of the left hitting instruction effect, and the raising / lowering operation of the lower side product member 202 is set in this predetermined effect Is the lower part product member 202 returned to the effect non-execution position by driving the lower part product lifting drive motor 215 at the start timing of the execution of the predetermined effect, the lower part product member returned to the effect non-execution position 202 is raised again to execute a predetermined effect. If the time lag from the start of the execution of the predetermined effect to the return of the lower character member 202 to the effect non-execution position exceeds the allowable range, the predetermined effect of the lower character member 202 is used as the predetermined effect. The lifting operation may be canceled. In addition, when the interruption execution of the predetermined effect is started, the effect operation of the upper character rotating object 162, the side edge object rotating member 182, and the light guiding effect mechanism 112 'in the left hitting instruction effect is interrupted.

  And, in the effect execution example shown in FIG. 48 to FIG. 50, along with the progress of the round game in the big hit state (a game in which the big winning opening 31 is opened for 20 seconds or opened until 10 game balls are won). In addition to the opening and closing operation of the decoration opening and closing member 94 and the moving image display of the game ball, the central character member 117 and the light guide effect mechanism 112 'are configured to execute a rendering operation. Specifically, when the gaming ball wins in the big winning opening 31 and is detected by the count switch 86 in the big hit state, the effect control device 59 detects the central prize unit 101 'based on the detection signal of the count switch 86. The drive of the central prize drive motor 120 is controlled to lower the central prize member 117 from the effect non-execution position. Then, the descent operation is stopped at the timing when the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254 moving with the central combination product member 117 becomes the bottom dead state (the state where the engagement / disengagement guide projection 259 is engaged with the lower end of the engagement / disengagement guide groove 260). The lower edge portion of the central combination member 117 in the stopped state is made to face forward from the case window portion 62 of the center case 23 by avoiding separation of the base side engagement portion 254 and the member side engagement portion 253 (FIG. 48) Through FIG. 50). Further, the drive of the central combination drive motor 120 is controlled to raise the central combination member 117 from the stop position and return it to the effect non-execution position.

  In this manner, if an effect is produced in which the central character member 117 appears and disappears every time the game ball wins the big winning opening 31, the player plays the central role together with the state of the winning on the large winning opening 31 of the gaming ball. It is possible to see and enjoy the rendering operation of the object member 117 and to improve the interest of the game. Further, since the central combination member 117 performs the lifting operation in a state of being engaged with and held by the central unit base 110 via the effect engagement / disengagement mechanism 250, the central combination member 117 is carelessly different from the setting It can try to avoid the inconvenience of performing the operation.

  In addition, in the light guiding effect mechanism 112 ', an effect of gradually widening the light emitting range of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE every time the gaming ball wins the big winning opening 31 is executed. For example, in order to divide the light emission range of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE into three steps and gradually expand from the upper part, the plurality of first side light emitting members 275 are divided into upper, middle, and lower ranges into three. The setting is made (see FIG. 41 (a)). Then, after the start of the round game, when the first gaming ball wins the big winning opening 31 and is detected by the count switch 86, the effect control device 59 is controlled to the first side based on the detection signal of the count switch 86 Among the light emitting members 275, those set in the upper range are operated to emit light. Then, as shown in FIG. 48, the upper part of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE is displayed in a luminous manner.

  Next, when the fifth game ball from the start of the round game is won in the big winning opening 31 and is detected by the count switch 86, the effect control device 59 sets the first based on the detection signal of the count switch 86. A light emitting operation of one of the side light emitting members 275 set in the central range is additionally performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 49, in addition to the upper part of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE, the central part is displayed in a luminous manner. Furthermore, after the start of the round game, when the tenth game ball is won in the large winning opening 31 and is detected by the count switch 86 (in other words, the number of winning balls in the large winning opening 31 is round When the end condition is satisfied), the effect control device 59 additionally performs the light emission operation of one of the first side light emitting members 275 set in the lower range based on the detection signal of the count switch 86. Then, as shown in FIG. 50, in addition to the upper part and the central part of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE, the lower part is displayed by light emission. That is, the entire first peripheral dot pattern DPE is displayed in a luminous manner. In addition, a character of “next round!” Is displayed in a portion overlapping with the first central dot pattern DPC in the display portion 55a of the display device 55, and the periphery of this character is decorated by the first peripheral dot pattern DPE. Perform the aspect of In this manner, if the effect of gradually widening the light emitting range of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE with the progress of the round game is performed, the player can easily grasp the progress of the round game.

  In the second embodiment, in the decoration effect accompanying the progress of the game, it is set to execute the decoration effect by interlocking the elevating operation of the central character member 117 and the effect operation of the other character members. It is also good. At this time, when the central combination member 117 is engaged with and held by the central unit base 110 via the effect engagement / disengagement mechanism 250, an operation different from the preset operation (for example, Since it is possible to suppress the rapid lowering), the other character members (in particular, the lower character members 202 disposed at the effect execution position) and the central character member 117 inadvertently collide. Can try to prevent the inconvenience of damage.

  In addition, although the effect engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 of the second embodiment enables engagement / disengagement of the central product member 117 and the central unit base 110 using magnetic force, the present invention is not limited to this. The point is that if the effect base of the movable effect device and the movable member are engaged with a preset engagement force and a force equal to or greater than this engagement force acts to separate the feature member from the effect base, the movable member There is no limitation on the configuration for generating the engagement force as long as the engagement state with the effect base can be released. For example, a surface fastener may be adopted for the effect engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 to generate an engagement force, or an adhesive sheet may be adopted to generate an engagement force.

  By the way, in each of the above embodiments, the electric circuit board (for example, the light emitting board housed in the light emitting decorative portion 64 of the center case 23 or each feature unit) provided on the game board 6 in a state visible from the player side ) Does not apply, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the light emission decoration portion 64 'of the center case 23 in the third embodiment shown in FIG. 51 devises the display mode of information on the electric circuit board on which the light emission member is mounted, and the decoration effect of the game board 6 is attenuated. It is configured to be able to avoid.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 51 (a) and 51 (b), the light emitting decorative portion 64 'is located behind the translucent panel-like decorative member 291 (in other words, it plays more than the decorative member 291) A light emitting decorative substrate (electric circuit substrate) 292 is provided on the rear side opposite to the user side. In addition, a plurality of electrical components including the light emitting member 293 which is a white LED are mounted on the surface (the front surface which is the mounting surface) of the light emitting decorative substrate 292 facing the decorative member 291 (FIG. 51 (b) and (C)) The light generated from the light emitting member 293 is irradiated to the front of the light emitting decoration 64 'through the decoration member 291 so that the light emitting decoration 64' performs the light emitting decoration. Furthermore, the surface of the light emitting decorative substrate 292 is colored white, including the circuit wiring pattern (not shown). Then, as shown in FIG. 51 (d), light emission as substrate configuration information 294 regarding the configuration of the light emission decoration substrate 292 is made at a position on the back side of the mounting portion of each light emitting member 293 in the back surface of the light emission decoration substrate 292. The design names (LED1, LED2, etc.) of the member 293 are displayed. The substrate configuration information 294 is displayed by silk screen printing, but may be displayed using any display means.

  In this manner, if the substrate configuration information 294 is not displayed on the surface of the light emitting decorative substrate 292, it is inconvenient for the player to visually check the substrate configuration information 294 on the light emitting decorative substrate 292 through the decoration member 291. It is possible to prevent the disadvantage that the decorative effect based on the design of the member 291 or the decorative effect based on the light emission of the light emitting member 293 is attenuated and the interest of the game is impaired. In addition, since the surface of the light emission decorative substrate 292 is colored white and the white LED is mounted as the light emitting member 293, the white light generated from the light emitting member 293 spreads over the entire surface of the light emission decorative substrate 292 It is easy to reflect to the decoration member 291 side of the front in the state which suppressed the fall of. Therefore, even if the mounting number of the light emitting members 293 is reduced, it is possible to make the light emitting decorative portion 64 'emit light uniformly. Furthermore, when the decorative member 291 is formed of a colored and transparent member, the color of the decorative member 291 can be made to look vivid, and the decorative effect of the light emitting decorative portion 64 'can be improved.

  In addition, although the light emission decoration board | substrate 292 was illustrated as an electric circuit board | substrate, this invention is not limited to this. The point is that any electric circuit board may be used as long as it is visible from the player side through the translucent decorative member. Moreover, although the name of the mounting component (light emitting member 293) was illustrated as board | substrate structure information, this invention is not limited to this. The point is that any form of substrate configuration information may be used as long as it indicates the content regarding the configuration of the electric circuit substrate. For example, in the case of displaying information about an electrical component to be mounted, specifications of the electrical component (capacitance, direction of mounting of a diode, voltage value, etc.), model number of the electrical component, part number in design, You may display the mounting location of an electrical component by a character, a symbol, drawing, and coloring. In addition, in the case of displaying information about the electric circuit board itself, information indicating the mounting mode of the electric circuit board to the game board (the direction of the front and back, the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, etc.) and the electric circuit board are supported. The position of attachment to the support (such as screwing and locking points), and the position of the terminal receiving unit to which the test terminal is connected for the operation test of the game board may be displayed using characters, symbols, drawing, or coloring .

  Furthermore, when the wiring connector is mounted on the electric circuit board, the display mode of the board configuration information on the wiring connector is set to a display mode different from the board configuration information on the other electric parts, and the board configuration information on the wiring connector You may make it easy to grasp For example, as shown in FIG. 52A, when the wiring connector 300 is mounted on the back surface of the light emitting decorative substrate 292, the mounting location of the wiring connector 300 is brought close to the edge of the light emitting decorative substrate 292. Apart from the board configuration information (part number information) 294, the direction of the text information 301a among the board configuration information 301 (text information 301a and mounting location instruction information 301b displayed in rectangular drawing) displayed as the information of the wiring connector 300 It may be set in a direction different from the substrate configuration information (part number information) 294 of the light emitting member 293.

  Further, when the wiring connector 300 is mounted on the surface of the light emission decoration substrate 292, the substrate configuration information 301 of the wiring connector 300 is also displayed on the surface of the light emission decoration substrate 292, as shown in FIG. The substrate configuration information 301 may be configured to be avoided from being simultaneously viewed with substrate configuration information (for example, the substrate configuration information 294 of the light emitting member 293) regarding another electrical component. At this time, as shown in FIG. 52C, on the light emission decoration substrate 292 before mounting the wiring connector 300, the character information 301a indicating the pin number is displayed inside the mounting location instruction information 301b, and the light emission decoration When the wiring connector (electrical component) 300 is mounted on the substrate (electric circuit substrate) 292, the character information (substrate configuration information) 301a may be covered with the wiring connector (electrical component) 300 and disappear. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 52 (d) and 52 (e), the substrate configuration information 301 of the wiring connector 300 is displayed not on the front surface of the light emission decorative substrate 292 but on the back surface. It may be separated from the substrate configuration information 294) of the light emitting member 293 so that the substrate configuration information 301 can be easily viewed. In each modification shown in FIGS. 52 (a) to 52 (e), as the character information 301a of the wiring connector 300, the pin numbers (numbers of "1" and "4") of the wiring connector 300 and parts for design Although the numbers (the characters “CN1” and “CN2”) are illustrated, other information related to the wiring connector 300 may be displayed as the character information 301 a.

  Then, when the circuit wiring pattern and the board configuration information are disposed on the same surface of the electric circuit board, as shown in FIG. 53A, the electric circuit board (for example, the light emission with the light emitting member 293 mounted thereon) The substrate configuration information (for example, the substrate configuration information 294 of the light emitting member 293) may be superimposed on the circuit wiring pattern P of the decorative substrate 292), but there is a possibility that the content of the substrate configuration information 294 may be difficult to grasp. Therefore, part of the substrate configuration information may be displayed offset from the circuit wiring pattern P. For example, as shown in FIG. 53 (b), of the substrate configuration information 294 of the light emitting member 293, rectangular mounting location instruction information 294a indicating the location of the light emitting member 293 is displayed superimposed on the circuit wiring pattern P. Character information 294 b indicating a design part number or the like in the board configuration information 294 may be displayed offset from the circuit wiring pattern P. Further, as shown in FIG. 53C, specific display information (for example, a small triangular mark displayed with a width equal to or less than the width of the circuit wiring pattern P) preset as part of the substrate configuration information 294. Only 294c may be displayed offset from the circuit wiring pattern P. In this manner, when part of the board configuration information 294 is shifted from the circuit wiring pattern P and displayed, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that it is difficult for the part of the board configuration information 294 to be grasped.

  Furthermore, when displaying board configuration information on each electric component on a plurality of electric components mounted adjacent to each other on the electric circuit board, the display mode of the substrate configuration information, in particular, information displayed in characters (design The display mode of the upper part number etc. may be made different depending on the degree of density of each electric component. For example, when the interval between the electrical components mounted on the electrical circuit board is set narrow and character information of a predetermined size can not be displayed in the vicinity of the mounting location of the electrical components, a group of a plurality of electrical components is mounted It is preferable to set as a component group, and to display information on the mounted component group as board configuration information at a location deviated from the mounting location of the mounted component group. Specifically, in the light emission decoration substrate 292 shown in FIG. 54 (a), a plurality of (for example, nine) light emission members 293 mounted on the surface of the light emission decoration substrate 292 are set as the mounted component group 310 to emit light. On the back surface of the decorative substrate 292, rectangular mounting location instruction information 314 is displayed as a part of the substrate configuration information 312 regarding the mounting component group 310 to indicate the mounting location of the mounting component group 310. The mounted parts group information 315 which is a part of the board configuration information 312 is displayed larger than the mounted part designation information 314 in the selected part, and the connection line 316 is provided between the mounted parts group information 315 and the mounted part designation information 314. Is drawing. Then, character information 315 a such as a designed part number of each light emitting member 293 constituting the mounting component group 310 is displayed in the mounting component group information 315, and an array of the character information 315 a is displayed in the mounting component group 310. It is set according to the arrangement of each light emitting member 293. By adopting the mounting component group information 315 having such a configuration, the contents of a plurality of pieces of board configuration information can be grasped collectively. In addition, when a plurality of electrical components are mounted in a dense state, it is possible to display board configuration information regarding each electrical component in an easy-to-see manner without any trouble. The mounting component group information 315 is not limited to being set larger than the mounting location instruction information 314, and may be set to the size of the mounting location instruction information 314 or less.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 54 (b), an out-of-group configuration (for example, a fastening tool such as a screw or the like on the light emission decorative substrate 292) different from the components of the mounting component group 310 in the region indicated by the mounting location instruction information 314. In the case where the through holes 317) for passing through are arranged, the mounted parts group information 315 may be displayed by omitting the outside group configuration. At this time, in the mounted component group information 315, the character information 315a may be displayed with a portion corresponding to the arrangement position of the out-of-group configuration being displayed, or the character information 315a may be displayed without being left.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 54, the mounting component group 310 is configured only with the light emitting member 293, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a plurality of types of electrical components may be mounted on an electrical circuit board in a dense state and set as a mounted component group. Further, plural sets of mounting component groups may be set on the electric circuit board, and the mounting component group information in which the information on each mounting component group is described may be displayed on the electric circuit board. Furthermore, all the electrical components mounted on the electrical circuit board may be set as a single mounted component group, and the mounted component group information in which the information on the mounted component group is described may be displayed on the electrical circuit board .

  Further, in the light emitting decorative substrate 292 shown in FIGS. 55 (a) and 55 (b), the arrangement interval of the adjacent electric components is set wider compared to the light emitting decorative substrate 292 shown in FIG. (Mounting density) is made lower than the light emitting decorative substrate 292 shown in FIG. Then, the display mode of the substrate configuration information is different from the display mode of the substrate configuration information 312 in FIG. Specifically, in FIG. 55 (a), the distance between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted in the vertical direction is the distance between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted in the horizontal direction. The character information 294b is displayed on the side of each mounting location instruction information 294a. Further, in FIG. 55 (b), the distance between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted side by side in the vertical direction is set wider than the distance between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted side by side in the horizontal direction. The character information 294 b is displayed above or below each mounting location instruction information 294 a. In this manner, if the display mode of the substrate configuration information is made different according to the degree of density of the electrical components, the degree of density of the electrical components can be easily grasped only by visually observing the substrate configuration information.

  The display mode of the board configuration information may be made different based on not only the density of the electrical components but also the number of characters of the displayed character information. For example, as shown in FIG. 56 (a), the distance between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted in the vertical direction is greater than the distance between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted in the horizontal direction. In the case where the narrow setting is made and the number of characters of the character information 294b is more than a predetermined number of characters (for example, 5 characters), the character information 294b is displayed on the side of each mounting location instruction information 294a. You may Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 56 (b), the distance between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted in the vertical direction is greater than the distance between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted in the horizontal direction. The character information 294b is displayed above or below each mounting location instruction information 294a if the character information 294b is set widely and the number of characters of the character information 294b is larger than a predetermined number (for example, 5 characters) of predetermined characters. It may be set.

  And although the light-emitting member and the wiring connector were illustrated as an electric component of this invention in the said embodiment, this invention is not limited to this. The electrical components mounted on the electrical circuit board of the present invention may be other electrical components. For example, an IC, a ROM, a RAM, a switch, a photocoupler, a resistor (resistor array), a relay, a capacitor, a diode, a transistor, or a coil may be applied as the electrical component of the present invention. Moreover, the electric circuit board in which board | substrate structure information is described is not limited to being a board | substrate covered with the decorative member which has translucency. The point is that it is not limited to the light emitting decoration substrate as long as it mounts an electrical component. For example, the substrate configuration information of the present invention is displayed on a substrate (main substrate) constituting a game control device, a substrate (sub substrate) constituting an effect control device, a payout control device, etc., a relay substrate relaying electric signals, It is also good.

  By the way, in the third embodiment shown in FIG. 51, the attenuation of the decorative effect of the decorative member 291 is prevented by displaying the substrate configuration information 294 on the back surface of the light emitting decorative substrate (electric circuit substrate) 292. It is not limited to. For example, when the circuit wiring pattern is applied to the surface of the electric circuit board, the circuit wiring pattern is mixed with the pattern on the decoration member 291 so that it is difficult to distinguish from the player side. Attenuation of the decorative effect may be prevented. Specifically, in the light emitting decorative portion 64 ′ ′ of the modified example shown in FIG. 57, the portion of the decorative member 291 located in front of the circuit wiring pattern P of the light emitting decorative substrate 292 and the peripheral portion are viewed from the player side. When the player visually observes the decoration member 291, the circuit wiring pattern P on the surface of the light emission decoration substrate 292 is a decoration member. The circuit wiring pattern P may be configured to look as if it is a part of the linear pattern LP on the line 291. If the circuit wiring pattern P is camouflaged with the pattern LP of the decoration member 291 in this manner, the circuit wiring pattern P Can be suppressed, and the disadvantage that the decorative effect of the decorative member 291 is attenuated and the interest of the game is impaired can be prevented.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the light emission decoration substrate visible to the player is illustrated as the electric circuit substrate of the present invention, and various aspects of the substrate configuration information displayed on the light emission decoration substrate are shown. Is not limited to this. For example, the board configuration information of the above-described aspect may be displayed on an electric circuit board (such as an electric circuit board covered with an opaque member from the player side) which the player can not visually recognize. At this time, the board configuration information may be displayed on either the player side of the electric circuit board or on the side opposite to the player. Furthermore, even if the electric circuit board can be viewed by the player, the board configuration information is displayed on the player side of the electric circuit board, and the board in the area opposite to the player in the electric circuit board. The display of the configuration information may be avoided, and the opposite area may be effectively used for other purposes.

  By the way, in the present invention, board configuration information may be displayed on the electric circuit board regardless of whether or not the player can visually recognize, and various improvements may be made to the display mode of the board configuration information. Hereinafter, other embodiments of the electric circuit board on which the substrate configuration information is displayed will be illustrated.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 58, a frame-like part non-mounting area 321 (an area shown by hatching in FIG. 58) is set along the edge of the horizontally long electric circuit board 320, and the part non-mounting area 321 is electrically It is avoided to mount the component 322 and to display the character information 324 (specifically, the character information 324 including the component number of the electric component 322) which is a type of substrate configuration information. Specifically, the electric circuit board 320 has mounted thereon a plurality of electrical components 322 (first component 322a, second component 322b, third component 322c, fourth component 322d) having a strip shape. Then, the first component 322a and the second component 322b are set to extend along the longitudinal direction (lateral direction) of the electric circuit board 320, and the third component 322c is oriented in the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction) of the electric circuit board 320. And the fourth component 322 d is set to be inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction (lateral direction) of the electric circuit board 320.

  In addition, character information (first part number information indicated by "R101") 324a of the first part 322a is displayed vertically on the side of the first part 322a, and the first character of the first part number information 324a is displayed. “R” is spaced downward from the component non-mounting area 321. Furthermore, below the second part 322b, the character information (second part number information indicated by "R102") 324b of the second part 322b is displayed horizontally and it is the first character of the second part number information 324b. “R” is laterally separated from the component non-mounting area 321. Then, the character information (third part number information indicated by "R103") 324c of the third part 322c is laterally written on the side of the third part 322c, and the arrangement direction of the characters is the third The three parts 322c are displayed along the longitudinal direction, and one side (upper side in FIG. 58) of the frame of the third part number information 324c is arranged at the boundary of the parts non-mounting area 321. Furthermore, below the fourth part 322d, the character information (fourth part number information indicated by "R104") 324d of the fourth part 322d is in a state in which the alignment direction of the characters is along the longitudinal direction of the fourth part 322d. It is displayed, and "4" which is the last character of the fourth part number information 324d is separated from the part non-mounting area 321 upward. In this manner, if the electrical component 322 and the board configuration information (character information 324) are not arranged at the edge of the electric circuit board 320, a tool or the like collides and the electrical component 322 and the board configuration information (character information 324) Can be avoided.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 59, an information seal 327 on which a two-dimensional code and management information are printed is attached as one of the components of the electric circuit board 326 on the electric circuit board 326, and this information seal Sticking point instruction information 328 indicating a sticking point of 327 is displayed as substrate configuration information of the electric circuit board 326. Specifically, in FIG. 59 (a), rectangular frame-like pasting location instruction information 328a is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing) on the electric circuit board 326, and within the pasting location instruction information 328a. An information seal 327 is attached to the space portion. Further, in FIG. 59 (b), rectangular frame shaped pasting point instruction information 328b is displayed by a wiring circuit pattern on the electric circuit board 326, and the information seal 327 is pasted in the space in the pasting point instruction information 328b. ing.

In this manner, even when components (non-electrical components) not included in the electrical components constitute a part of the electric circuit board 326, the information such as the location of the non-electrical components is used as substrate configuration information for the electrical circuit. If displayed on the substrate 326, the efficiency of the manufacturing operation of the electric circuit board 326 can be improved. Parts not mounted on the finished product of the electric circuit board 326 at shipment (for example, parts such as connectors which are mounted at the development stage and the test stage but removed from the electric circuit board 326 at the shipment stage from the factory) Also, the information such as the arrangement location and the part number may be displayed on the electric circuit board 326 as the board configuration information.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 60, the slide switch 331 is mounted on the electric circuit board 330 as an electric component whose setting can be changed, and information on the mounting location of the slide switch 331 and information on the specifications of the electric circuit board 330 is It is displayed as substrate configuration information. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 60A, the electric circuit board 330 has mounting location instruction information 333 indicating the mounting location of the slide switch 331 as the board configuration information, a rectangle slightly larger than the slide switch 331. Character information (character information indicated by “1” and “2”) indicating the number of the slide switch 331 is displayed in a frame by printing (for example, silk screen printing) and displayed within the frame of the mounting location instruction information 333. And, as one of the specifications of the slide switch 331, a scale 335 indicating the movable position of the slider is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing). Then, when the slide switch 331 is mounted on the electric circuit board 330, the mounting location indication information 333 surrounds the slide switch 331 as shown in FIG. 60 (b), but the character information 334 and the scale 335 indicate the slide switch 331. It is configured to be covered and concealed. In this way, if information indicating that the setting of the electrical component can be changed is displayed as the board configuration information, it is easy to suppress the possibility that the operator mounts the incorrect electrical component at the time of assembling the electrical circuit board 330. be able to. The electric component whose setting can be changed is not limited to the slide switch 331, but may be another type of electric component. For example, it may be an electrical component whose setting can be changed by a rotary dial.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 61, the plurality of electric components 338 are mounted on the electric circuit board 337 in proximity (for example, in a state where the separation distance between the electric components 338 is sufficiently narrower than the outer dimensions of the electric components 338) The mounting location instruction information 339 of each electrical component 338 is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing) in a rectangular frame surrounding the periphery of each electrical component 338, and character information 340 regarding each electrical component 338 among the electrical components 338 It is displayed by printing (e.g., silk screen printing) in a manner different according to the size of the gap. Specifically, the first electric component 338a and the second electric component 338b are vertically arranged and mounted, and the character information 340a ("LED 1") related to the first electric component 338a is written below the first electric component 338a in the horizontal writing mode It displays and the character information 340b ("LED2") regarding the 2nd electrical component 338b is displayed on the side of the 2nd electrical component 338b in a vertical writing mode. In this way, if the mounting location of each electrical component 338 is indicated by the mounting location instruction information 339 and the character information 340 regarding each electrical component 338 is displayed without aligning it in the same mode, the information regarding the electrical component 338 is an electric circuit board It can be displayed in an appropriate manner according to the design of 337, which is preferable.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 62, in the board unit 346 in which a pair of electric circuit boards (the first board 343, the second board 344) are connected by the board connector 345, the board connectors 345 (electrical parts) Information on the board is displayed as board configuration information. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 62 (a), the substrate unit 346 connects the first substrate 343 and the second substrate 344 facing each other by the substrate connector 345 so that the current can be supplied.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 63, one of the substrate units 360 constructed by mounting a separate electric circuit substrate (second substrate 357) on the electric circuit substrate (first substrate 355) via the mounting spacer 356 The board | substrate structure information regarding an electric circuit board is displayed on the other electric circuit board. Specifically, in the substrate unit 360, as shown in FIG. 63A, a U-shaped resin mounting spacer 356 is disposed between the first substrate 355 and the second substrate 357. The first substrate 355 and the second substrate 357 are separated. Then, the electrical component 362 is mounted on the second substrate 357 (see FIG. 63B), and the information (character information 363 and mounting location instruction information 364) on the electrical component 362 is used as the substrate configuration information. Among them, printing (for example, silk screen printing) is displayed on a polymerization area 355a where the second substrate 357 is polymerized, and three sides of the polymerization area 355a are surrounded by mounting spacers 356 (see FIG. 63C). Thus, if the substrate configuration information on the second substrate 357 is displayed on the first substrate 355, the substrate on the second substrate 357 can not sufficiently secure the area capable of displaying the substrate configuration information on the second substrate 357. There is no problem in displaying the configuration information.

  A terminal receiving portion 366 to which a test terminal (not shown) is connected is provided in the overlapping region 355a of the first substrate 355 covered by the second substrate 357 (see FIG. 63 (c)). Information (character information 367) relating to the portion 366 is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing) as substrate configuration information. Then, in the operation test performed before product shipment, the terminal receiving portion 366 is configured to be able to connect the test terminal. In this way, if the electric components (terminal receiving portion 366 etc.) whose frequency of use is limited and the board configuration information (character information 367 etc.) related to the electric components are arranged in the overlapping area 355a and made inconspicuous, the substrate It can suppress that the appearance of the unit 360 becomes complicated. In addition, since the terminal receiving portion 366 which is not usually used, which does not release heat, or which may not be inconspicuous (for example, a through hole, a via, etc.) can be arranged in the overlapping region 355a and hidden, Unwanted ones can be avoided from standing out on the substrate unit 360, and the space on the substrate unit 360 can be used effectively.

  In addition, although the second substrate 357 is mounted on the first substrate 355 via the mounting spacer 356, another configuration (for example, a cooling fan or a heat sink) is mounted instead of the second substrate 357, and information on the other configuration May be displayed on the overlapping area 355a of the first substrate 355 as the substrate configuration information.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 64, the specific electrical component 372 is mounted on the specific mounting area 370a set on the electric circuit board 370, and information (substrate configuration information) regarding the specific electrical component 372 is inside and outside the specific mounting area 370a. Each is displayed. Specifically, the electric circuit board 370 sets a part (the part indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIGS. 64A and 64B) across the front and back of the electric circuit board 370 as the specific mounting area 370a. As shown in FIG. 64 (a), on one surface (surface to be a mounting surface) of the specific mounting area 370a, a specific electric component 372 (for example, a motor or a solenoid) preset among a plurality of electric components A specific electric component 372) having a working voltage value higher than that of other electric components, such as an IC to be controlled, a coil, etc., is mounted. Further, on the other surface (back surface) opposite to the mounting surface in the specific mounting area 370a, as shown in FIG. 64 (b), a plurality of wiring circuit patterns 374 set wider than the other wiring circuit patterns 374. A ground pattern is provided as a specific wiring circuit pattern 375, and a rectangular insulating portion 370b surrounding each of the specific wiring circuit patterns 375 is set at the boundary of the specific mounting area 370a. In other words, the specific mounting area 370a is divided by the insulating portion 370b formed on the outer periphery of the specific wiring circuit pattern 375, and a plurality of specific wiring circuit patterns 375 are disposed in the specific mounting area 370a. A ground pin (not shown), which is a type of terminal pin of the specific electrical component 372, may be electrically connected to the ground pattern (specific wiring circuit pattern 375).

  Furthermore, on the back surface of the specific mounting area 370a, rectangular frame-shaped mounting point designation information 378 indicating the mounting point of the specific electrical component 372 is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing). Character information (character information of "A01") 379 indicating the component number of the specific electrical component 372 is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing) at a position located outside the specific mounting area 370a. Also, in the ground pattern (specific wiring circuit pattern 375), a plurality of vias (hole portions passing through the front and back of the electric circuit board 370) are provided at positions located between the mounting position instruction information 378 and the boundary of the specific mounting area 370a. ) 376 is opened to surround the mounting point instruction information 378, and the specific wiring circuit pattern 375 is conducted to the wiring pattern (not shown) on the surface of the electric circuit board 370 by the via 376. In other words, in the specific mounting area 370a, the area where the mounting location indication information 378 is displayed is surrounded by the via 376. In this way, if the mounting location instruction information 378 is displayed in the specific mounting area 370a, and if the character information 379 is displayed outside the specific mounting area 370a, the inconvenience of mixing such information too close is avoided. And each information can be easily viewed. In addition, if the specific mounting area 370a surrounded by the insulating portion 370b is made wide by setting the specific wiring circuit pattern 375 wide, the electric components arranged around the specific electric component 372 can be separated from the specific electric component 372 it can. Therefore, adverse effects such as noise generated from the specific electrical component 372 can be suppressed from affecting other electrical components. Furthermore, since the specific electrical component 372 is surrounded by the plurality of vias 376, the mounting location of the specific electrical component 372 (in other words, the specific electrical component 372 that may affect other electrical components) can be easily identified. . The specific wiring circuit pattern 375 is not limited to the ground pattern. The point is that a wired circuit pattern having any function may be used as long as it is set wider than other wired circuit patterns. In addition, if the mounting location instruction information 378 and the character information 379 are in a state of being easily visually recognized, both information may be displayed on the surface of the specific mounting area 370a. Alternatively, both pieces of information may be displayed in the specific mounting area 370a regardless of the front or back of the specific mounting area 370a. Also, the specific mounting area 370 a is not limited to being partitioned by being surrounded by a plurality of vias 376. The point is that holes having any function may be provided in a specific mounting area as long as the holes penetrate one surface of the electric circuit board to the other surface. For example, instead of a via, a through hole or a hole into which an IC terminal is inserted may be opened in a specific mounting area to surround the specific mounting area. Also, even if the mounting location instruction information is displayed across one ground pattern and another ground pattern, the specific mounting area is set to include one partitioned area and the other partitioned area. Good.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 65, in the electric circuit board 382 on which a group of a plurality of electric components 380 is mounted as the mounting component group 381, information on the mounting component group 381 is displayed by the mounting component group information 384. The display mode of the information 384 is set to a mode that imitates the outline of the mounting area of the mounting component group 381. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 65A, a plurality of (six in the present embodiment) electricitys are provided on one surface (surface to be a mounting surface) of the electric circuit substrate 382 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 65 (b), on the other surface (rear surface) opposite to the mounting surface, the components 380 are mounted in an inverted U-shape and mounted, and the mounting points of the respective electric components 380 are mounted. Mounting area instruction information 387 (outline of the mounting area 388) indicating the mounting area 388 of the mounting component group 381 surrounding the mounting area instruction information 386 and indicating the mounting area instruction information 386. Are displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing) as part of the substrate configuration information. In addition, mounted parts group information 384, which is a part of the board configuration information, is displayed on the back side out of the mounted area instruction information 387, and between the mounted part group information 384 and the mounted area instruction information 387. Connection line 389 is drawn. The mounting component group information 384 includes a frame display 391 imitating mounting region instruction information 387 (outline of the mounting region 388) of the mounting component group 381 by printing (for example, silk screen printing). In the display 391, information (part numbers and the like) on each electric component 380 constituting the mounting component group 381 is displayed as component information 392 by printing (for example, silk screen printing), and the relative attitude of each component information 392 The orientation in the vertical and horizontal directions and the arrangement direction is set in accordance with the relative posture of the electric components 380 of the mounting component group 381. If mounting component group information 384 having such a configuration is adopted, it is possible to quickly grasp where the information regarding the mounting component group 381 is displayed by collating the mounting region instruction information 387 with the frame display 391. it can. Then, when the plurality of electrical components 380 are mounted in a dense state, the board configuration information regarding each electrical component 380 can be displayed in an easy-to-see manner without any problem. Therefore, the information displayed on the electric circuit board 382 can be easily viewed. In addition, since the relative posture of each component information 392 is set in accordance with the relative posture of each electrical component 380 of the mounted component group 381, it is easy to determine which component information 392 is information related to which electrical component 380. It can be grasped.

  The shapes of the mounting area instruction information 387 (the outline of the mounting area 388) and the frame display 391 are not limited to the above-described inverted U shape, and may be set to any shape. For example, as shown in FIG. 65 (c), the electric components 380 constituting the mounting component group 381 are arranged in a Y-shape, and mounting area designation information 387 (outline of mounting area 388) and frame display according to this arrangement. 391 may be set to a Y-shaped frame. In addition, as shown in FIG. 65 (d), when the arrangement aspect (Y-shaped arrangement aspect) of the electric components 380 and the aspect (rectangular frame) of the mounting area instruction information 387 are different, a frame The display 391 may be set in a mode (Y-shaped) in accordance with the arrangement mode of the electrical components 380. In this way, the area necessary for displaying the frame display 391 can be narrowed as compared with the case where the frame display 391 is displayed by imitating the outline of the mounting area 388, and the electric circuit board 382 You can make effective use of the limited space above. Furthermore, the mounted component group information 384 may be displayed on the mounting surface of the electric circuit board 382 on which the electric component 380 is mounted.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 66, in the electric circuit board 397 on which a group of a plurality of electric components 395 is mounted as the mounting component group 396, information on the mounting component group 396 is displayed by mounting component group information 399. A display is provided to associate the information 399 with the mounting area 403 of the mounting component group 396. Specifically, the electric circuit board 397 is composed of a plurality of (six in the present embodiment, six in the vertical and horizontal directions) electric components 395 on one surface (surface to be a mounting surface) of the electric circuit substrate 397. Mount the plurality of mounting component groups 396 (in the present embodiment, two sets of the first component group 396a and the second component group 396b), and mount the substrate on the other surface (rear surface) opposite to the mounting surface As part of the configuration information, rectangular mounting location instruction information 402 respectively indicating the mounting location of each electric component 395, and a rectangular frame indicating the mounting region 403 of each mounting component group 396 surrounding the mounting location instruction information 402 The mounting area designation information 404 (the first area designation information 404a, the second area designation information 404b) is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing). In addition, in a portion of the back surface that deviates from each mounting area instruction information 404, a plurality of mounting component group information 399 which is a part of the board configuration information is matched to the number of mounting component groups 396 (in the first embodiment, The part group information 399a and the second part group information 399b are displayed in two pieces, and in each mounted part group information 399, information (part number etc.) concerning each electric part 395 constituting the mounted part group 396 is displayed in character information 405 Is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing), and the relative orientation (vertical and horizontal orientation and arrangement direction) of each character information 405 is set in accordance with the relative orientation of each electric component 395 of the mounted component group 396. .

  Furthermore, in the mounting region 403 of each mounting component group 396, at the edge (right edge in FIG. 66) facing the mounting component group information 399, the component group identification information 408 assigned to the mounting component group 396 , Direction indicator (arrow) 409 indicating the direction of the mounting component group information 399 (specifically, mounting component group information 399 displaying information on the electrical components 395 in the mounting region 403) as viewed from the mounting region 403 They are displayed respectively (for example, silk screen printing). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 66, a mark in which the character of “i” is enclosed by a rectangular frame is assigned as the parts group identification information 408 of the first part group 396a, and the character of “ro” is surrounded by the rectangular frame. An oval mark is assigned as parts group identification information 408 of the second part group 396b.

  In addition, the direction index 409 is displayed by the direction of the mounting component group information 399 and a distance indicator that displays the separation distance from the mounting area 403 of the mounting component group 396 to the mounting component group information 399. The direction of 399 is represented by the direction of the arrow, and the separation distance to the mounting component group information 399 is represented by the length of the arrow. Then, by setting the direction index 409 of the first component group 396a to be longer than the direction index 409 of the second component group 396b, the mounting area 403a and the mounted component group information 399 (first component group information in the first component group 396a) It is configured to express that the separation distance from 399a) is longer than the separation distance between the mounting area 403b and the mounting component group information 399 (second component group information 399b) in the second component group 396b.

  Then, among the mounting component group information 399, an edge (left edge in FIG. 66) of the mounting component group 396 in which the related information is displayed by the mounting component group information 399. Identification information 412 in the same manner as the parts group identification information 408, and a mounting direction indicator (arrow) 413 pointing the direction of the mounting area 403 of the mounted parts group 396 as viewed from the mounted parts group information 399 are printed (for example, silkscreen Are displayed by printing). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 66, the identification information 412 of the first parts group information 399a is a mark in which the character “I” is enclosed by a rectangular frame (the same mark as the parts group identification information 408 of the first parts group 396a) The identification information 412 of the second parts group information 399b is a mark (the same mark as the parts group identification information 408 of the second parts group 396b) in which the character "ro" is enclosed by a rectangular frame.

  Further, the mounting direction indicator 413 is displayed by the direction of the mounting area 403 of the mounting component group 396 and a distance indicator that displays the distance from the mounting component group information 399 to the mounting area 403 of the mounting component group 396 The direction of the mounting area 403 is represented by the direction of the arrow, and the separation distance to the mounting area 403 is represented by the length of the arrow. Then, by setting the mounting direction indicator 413 of the first component group information 399a longer than the mounting direction indicator 413 of the second component group information 399b, the mounting area 403 and the mounted component group information 399 in the first component group 396a It is configured to express that the separation distance between the parts group information 399a) is longer than the separation distance between the mounting area 403 and the mounting parts group information 399 (second parts group information 399b) in the second parts group 396b. There is.

  If component group identification information 408, direction indicator 409, identification information 412, and mounting direction indicator 413 having such a configuration are displayed on electric circuit board 397 together with mounting component group information 399, display of information on electric component 395 is mixed. It is possible to avoid things and make it easier to view. In addition, even if a connection line is not drawn between the mounting area 403 and the mounting component group information 399, the display location of the information regarding the mounting component group 396 can be easily grasped. Therefore, the limited space on the electric circuit board 397 can be effectively utilized. Note that the display mode of the distance indicator that expresses the direction indicator 409 and the mounting direction indicator 413 is not limited to the arrow. The point is that a distance indicator (direction and distance can be expressed) that can represent the direction of the mounting component group information 399, the direction of the mounting region 403, and the separation distance between the mounting region 403 and the mounting component group information 399 Any mode may be used as long as it is a distance sign). For example, an illustration indicating the direction with a human hand may be adopted as the distance sign, and the size of the illustration may represent the length of the separation distance.

  Further, the display mode of the parts group identification information 408 and the identification information 412 is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be set in any manner. For example, alphanumeric characters, hiragana and katakana may be displayed surrounded by circles and triangles. Furthermore, the display positions of the parts group identification information 408 and the identification information 412 may be displayed anywhere on the electric circuit board as long as they do not get in the way. For example, it may be displayed in a state of being in contact with the edge portion of the mounted component group information, or may be displayed inside (for example, a central portion) of the mounted component group information. Furthermore, when the direction indicator 409 and the mounting direction indicator 413 are displayed by arrows, the lead line may be bent in the middle. For example, as shown in FIG. 67 (a), the lead wire may be bent once, or may be bent a plurality of times as shown in FIG. 67 (b). The point is that it may be suitably bent so as not to overlap with the configuration on the electric circuit board. Also, as shown in FIG. 67 (c), when the lead lines of the direction indicator 409 and the mounting direction indicator 413 intersect with other display lines on the electric circuit board, add an X mark to the arrow, etc. It is preferable to indicate that a crossing has occurred.

By the way, in each of the motors employed in the above-described embodiment, it may be possible to adjust the bearing position of the gear along the rotational axis direction of the motor. For example, the panel drive motor (motor) 154 and the panel drive gear (drive gear) 155 provided in the lower part product front unit 102 (see FIG. 12) will be described by way of example. In the fourth embodiment, the panel drive motor 154 is provided with a sleeve-like shaft insertion convex portion 502 on one end surface of the cylindrical case 501 (the surface of the case 501 facing the panel drive gear 155) (in detail, A rotary shaft (output shaft) 154a is inserted into the shaft insertion convex portion 502 so that the panel drive gear 155 rotates in unison with the rotary shaft 154a. It is worn with a shaft. Then, the rotational drive force of the panel drive motor 154 is transmitted from the panel drive gear 155 to the rotating body (specifically, to the rotating body (see FIG. 12) in which the slide transmission gear 156 and the slide engagement protrusion 157 are integrated). , Is configured to rotate the rotating body.

Further, on the surface of the panel drive gear 155 facing the case 501 side of the panel drive motor 154, contact between the case 501 (specifically, the shaft insertion convex portion 502 provided in the case 501) and the panel drive gear 155 The concave portion 503 to be avoided is formed (specifically, the projection dimension of the shaft insertion convex portion 502 to the panel drive gear 155 side is set longer than the concave dimension of the concave portion 503) . Furthermore, on the surface of the panel drive gear 155 facing the opposite side to the case 501, a bearing projection 504 into which the rotary shaft 154a (specifically, the tip of the rotary shaft 154a) is inserted is protruded. The projecting portion 504 and the rotating shaft 154a are fixed by a fixing member 505 such as a set screw.

If panel drive gear 155 having such a configuration is adopted, case 501 and panel drive gear can be obtained by shaft insertion convex portion 502 of case 501 entering recess 503 while avoiding contact with the inner surface of recess 503. Contact with 155 can be avoided (see FIG. 69). Therefore, even if it is necessary to shift the arrangement position of the panel drive motor 154 to the panel drive gear 155 side in order to avoid interference between the panel drive motor 154 and other components, the panel drive gear 155 along the rotation shaft 154a. The position can be shifted to the side of the panel drive motor 154, and the shaft attachment position of the panel drive gear 155 can be adjusted without any delay. As a result, the panel drive gear 155 and the slide transmission gear 156 can be set in a sufficient meshing state without shifting in the axial direction, and rotation of the rotating body (rotation of the slide transmission gear 156 and the slide engagement protrusion 157) is possible. There is no problem. Further, in the operation of pivotally attaching the panel drive gear 155 to the rotary shaft 154 a, the fastening member 505 does not have to be inserted into the narrow space sandwiched between the panel drive gear 155 and the case 501. Therefore, there is no inconvenience that the fastening member 505 is difficult to attach to the bearing projection 504 or the fastening tool does not reach the fastening member 505, and the shaft attachment operation can be performed without delay.

  Furthermore, since the rotary shaft 154a is inserted to the bearing projection 504, the bearing range of the rotary shaft 154a and the panel drive gear 155 can be expanded over a dimension longer than the thickness of the panel drive gear 155. The panel drive gear 155 can be journaled with sufficiently high mounting accuracy while suppressing inclination with respect to the rotation shaft 154a.

  In addition, although the recessed part 503 of the said 4th Embodiment is dented and formed in circular shape one size larger than the axis | shaft penetration convex part 502, this invention is not limited to this. The point is that any form of recess may be formed as long as contact between the drive gear and the case of the motor can be avoided. Also, although the panel drive motor 154 and the panel drive gear 155 have been mentioned as examples of the motor and drive gear in the present invention, the present invention is not limited thereto. The point is that the present invention may be applied to any motor and drive gear as long as it is a mechanism for rotating a rotating body provided in a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine. For example, the invention may be applied to a motor and a drive gear provided for the rotation of accessory members arranged in the game area 5, or a motor and a drive provided for the rotation of a rotating body in a ball payout mechanism. It may be applied to gears. Further, the target to which the driving force is transmitted by the motor and the driving gear of the present invention is not limited to the rotating body. The point is that the movable body may operate in any manner as long as it is configured to operate by the driving force from the motor. Furthermore, the movable body to which the driving force is transmitted by the motor and the driving gear of the present invention includes an electric circuit board on which a light emitting member and the like are mounted, and substrate configuration information (specifically, an electric circuit) is provided on the back surface of the electric circuit board. Substrate configuration information on the configuration of the substrate may be displayed (see FIGS. 51 to 67).

  By the way, the control unit 54 (refer to FIG. 3) in the above-mentioned embodiment is a decorative member (for example, the upper part product rotating body 162 of the upper character article unit 103 and the side edge It also functions as a decoration unit provided, and is mounted on the back side of the game board (game board main body) 19. Then, in the preparation stage before assembling the game board 6, the control unit 54 in the non-mounted state on the game board 19 is placed on the work table or the like in a stable posture with the open side of the unit case 100 facing downward However, the decorative member protrudes downward from the unit case 100. Therefore, it is preferable to apply, to the control unit 54, a configuration for preventing the decorative member from coming into contact with the mounting place.

  For example, although the control unit 54 of the fifth embodiment shown in FIGS. 70, 71, and 72 is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, the control unit 54 may be mounted on a workbench, a floor, or the like. It differs in that the upper character serving unit 103, the side edge character serving unit 104, and the winning ball flow channel 56 are provided with protrusions that become support legs of the control unit 54 when placed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 73, projecting blocks (the first side of the upper side unit panel 163 located on the front side (the side of the game board 19) of the upper The projecting block 511 and the second projecting block 512 on the right side are fixed. And the lower part of the 1st projection block 511 is provided with the projection (the 1st projection 513) projected to the side of the game board 19 rather than the upper character rotating body 162, and the left side of the 2nd projection block 512, A projecting portion (second projecting portion 514) which protrudes to the side of the game board 19 from the upper character rotating body 162 is provided.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 74, the side edge portion (the right side portion in FIG. 74) of the side edge unit panel 184 located on the front side (the side of the game board 19) of the side edge character object unit 104 The projecting block 516 is fixed, and on the upper and lower sides of the third projecting block 516, a projecting portion (upper third projecting portion 518 and lower side projecting to the side of the game board 19 with respect to the side edge character rotating body 182) Each is provided with a fourth protrusion 519).

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 75, on one side of the winning ball flow channel 56 (leftward in FIG. 75), the upper character rotating member 162 and the side rim character rotating member 182 project toward the gaming board 19 side. And a protruding portion (fifth protruding portion 520). In addition, the winning ball channel 56 will be described in detail. The winning ball channel 56 has a base block 525 formed by overlapping a light transmitting front panel 525a and a rear panel 525b in front of and behind the winning ball flow.

  Thus, in the control unit 54 of the fifth embodiment provided with the projecting portions 513, 514, 518, 519, 520, as shown in FIG. 70, three or more (five in the present embodiment) projecting portions No. 513, 514, 518, 519, 520 are dispersedly arranged near the four sides of the control unit 54 without being aligned in a straight line. Further, as shown in FIGS. 71 and 72, the tip end surfaces of the respective projecting portions 513, 514, 518, 519, and 520 are set to be aligned on the same plane, and the tips of the other parts are The length which does not protrude from the said same plane is set. Then, at the preparation stage of the assembling operation of the game board 6, the control unit 54 in the non-mounted state to the game board 19 is put to lie, and the projecting portions 513, 514, 518, 519, 520 are set to the downward direction. In this posture, it is placed on the work table, floor, etc. Then, as shown in FIG. 76, the protrusions 513, 514, 518, 519, 520 function as support legs of the control unit 54 to avoid contact between the accessory rotating bodies 162, 182 and the mounting place. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the inconvenience that the accessory rotating bodies 162 and 182 are damaged carelessly. Furthermore, it is not necessary to prepare a jig in order to avoid damage to the accessory rotating bodies 162, 182.

  Further, since the magnetic sensor 223 is accommodated in the fifth projection 520 of the winning ball flow channel 56, the fifth projection 520 which functions as a support leg can also function as a housing of the magnetic sensor 223. As a result, there is no need to secure the storage portion of the magnetic sensor 223 separately from the fifth projecting portion 520, and the limited space in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be effectively utilized.

  Furthermore, when the control unit 54 is placed on the placement place with the protrusions 513, 514, 518, 519, 520 facing downward, as shown in FIG. 77 (a), the control unit (game control unit A control unit cover 551 covering the effect control device 59) and the relay board unit 550 is located above the control unit 54 (the control unit 54 in the mounted state) (see FIG. 76). Then, when the control unit cover 551 is removed, the game control device 58 and the effect control device 59 are exposed as shown in FIG. The wiring connector 553 disposed on the opposite side of the control unit 54 is exposed to the upper side of the control unit 54. Further, when the relay substrate unit 550 is opened to expose the internal relay substrate (not shown), the wiring connector (not shown) mounted on the relay substrate is also exposed above the control unit 54. Therefore, in the control unit 54 in the mounted state, the wiring work for connecting the electric wiring to the wiring connector can be easily performed, and the manufacturing efficiency of the game board 6 can be improved.

  Then, when the control unit 54 is attached to the back surface of the gaming board 19, as shown in FIG. 78, the first projecting portion 513, the third projecting portion 518, the fourth projecting portion 519, and the fifth projecting portion 520 are on the gaming board 19. It is located at the rear of the center case 23 and the general winning opening 42 arranged in the. Therefore, when the translucent game board (for example, a game board made of transparent resin) 19 is adopted, the first projecting portion 513, the third projecting portion 518, the fourth projecting portion 519, the fifth projecting portion 520 Is covered by the center case 23 functioning as a protruding covering member and the general winning opening 42, making it difficult (or not visible) to be seen by the player. As a result, even if the tip end surfaces of the projecting portions 513, 514, 518, 519, 520 are scratched or soiled by placing the control unit 54 at the mounting location, the player can see this tip surface. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the disadvantage that the decorativeness of the game board 6 is lost. In addition, with respect to the 2nd projection part 514, a projection covering member (for example, opaque film) which is opaque in the part which overlaps with the 2nd projection part 514 among the back sides (the back side where control unit 54 is located) of game board 19 And covering the second projection 514 with the projection covering member. Furthermore, if the surface of the opaque film that functions as a protruding covering member is decorated to suggest the flow direction of the game ball, it has not only the function of covering the second protruding portion 514 but also the function of decorating the game board 6 can do.

  In addition, the protrusion of the fifth embodiment may have a function of reflecting light. For example, in a modification of the third projecting block 516 shown in FIG. 79, the block base 556 of the third projecting block 516 which contacts the side edge unit panel 184 is made of a translucent member such as transparent resin. Of the third protrusion 518 and the fourth protrusion 519 protruding from the base 556, the side surface portion (right side surface portion in FIG. 79) facing the side edge object rotating body 182 side is subjected to metal plating surface treatment or lens cut treatment And the like to provide a reflection portion (reflection portion that reflects light) 557. Furthermore, the side edge unit panel 184 is formed of a light-transmissive member, and on the opposite side to the third projecting block 516 across the side edge unit panel 184 (in other words, behind the projecting portions 518 and 519) Etc. are arranged.

  Then, when light from the light emitting source 558 passes through the side edge unit panel 184 and the block base 556 and is irradiated to the third protrusion 518 and the fourth protrusion 519, the light is reflected by the reflective portion 557 of the third protrusion 518. And the illuminated portion 32 (see FIG. 3) or the like of the side edge role thing rotary body 182 or the center case 23 or the like, or the reflection portion 557 of the fourth projecting portion 519 reflects the side edge role thing rotary body 182 or center The regular drawing starting gate 28 of the case 23, the special winning opening 31 (see FIG. 3), etc. are illuminated. In this way, if the reflecting portions 557 are provided in the projecting portions 518 and 519, the projecting portions 518 and 519 not only function as supporting legs of the control unit 54 but also function as decorative members for decorating the game board 6 And the interest of the game can be improved. In addition, not only the third protrusion 518 and the fourth protrusion 519 illustrated, but also the other protrusions 513, 514, and 520 may be provided with the reflective portion 557. Then, for example, the light reflected by the reflecting portion 557 provided in the first projecting portion 513 is irradiated to the ball introduction path 79 (see FIG. 3) of the center case 23 or the reflecting portion 557 provided in the second projecting portion 514. The light reflected in the above is irradiated to the upper part of the center case 23, or the light reflected by the reflecting portion 557 provided in the fifth protrusion 520 is irradiated to the general winning opening 42 and the start winning unit 38 (see FIG. 3). You may In addition, the light reflected by each of the reflection portions may illuminate the game balls flowing down the game area 5.

  By the way, in the said 5th Embodiment, although the control unit 54 was illustrated as a decoration unit of this invention, this invention is not limited to this. For example, an accessory unit (upper accessory unit 103, side edge accessory unit 104, central accessory unit 101, etc.) constituting a part of the control unit 54 is provided with a projection as the decoration unit of the present invention, and the projection When the supporting leg is placed on the mounting place, contact between the decorative member and the mounting place may be avoided. At this time, it is preferable that three or more protrusions are dispersed in one accessory unit so that the accessory unit can be stably mounted without rattling.

  By the way, although the special winning opening solenoid 85 and the decoration open / close solenoid 95 (see FIG. 4) of the above embodiment are configured to dissipate heat through the heat radiation plate 90 mounted on the front, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the special winning opening solenoid 85 and the decoration open / close solenoid 95 of the sixth embodiment shown in FIGS. 80, 81, and 82 are configured to dissipate heat outward through members positioned on the front and rear sides.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 80, in the center case 23 of the sixth embodiment, two electric drive sources (large winning opening solenoid 85) are provided behind the light emitting unit base 89a of the big winning light emitting unit 89. And an open / close drive unit 570 configured to include the decoration open / close solenoid 95), and the open / close drive unit 570 is configured to operate the two movable members (the winning combination open / close member 84 and the decoration open / close member 94). . As shown in FIGS. 81 and 82, the opening and closing drive unit 570 mounts the large winning opening solenoid 85 and the decoration open / close solenoid 95 side by side on the back side of the heat sink 90 made of metal. On the box-shaped drive unit cover (cover member) 571 made of transparent resin and open on the front side, and a metal heat dissipation member 572 for releasing the heat generated from the solenoids 85 and 95 outward. The solenoids 85 and 95 are covered from the rear, and a part of the heat radiating member 572 is made to project rearward from the heat radiation window 571 a opened at the rear of the drive unit cover 571.

  The heat dissipating member 572 is a component for heat dissipation mounted separately from the heat dissipating plate 90, and includes a heat dissipating base portion 574 covered by the drive unit cover 571 in a state of being connected to the solenoids 85 and 95. A flat heat radiation exposed portion 575 is fixed to a portion of the portion 574 facing the heat radiation window portion 571a, and the heat radiation exposed portion 575 is disposed outside (rear) of the drive unit cover 571. The heat dissipating base portion 574 is a member formed by bending a metal plate, and includes a rectangular base main body 574a, and the upper heat dissipating piece 574b extends forward from the upper side of the base main body 574a. Side heat dissipation pieces 574c extend forward from the left and right sides of 574a, respectively. Then, the base main body 574a is closely attached to the rear of the solenoids 85 and 95 via the heat conduction sheet 577, and the upper heat radiation piece 574b is closely attached to the upper part of the large winning opening solenoid 85 via the heat conduction sheet 578 The solenoids 85 and 95 are disposed between the side heat dissipating pieces 574c. Further, as shown in FIG. 81 (d), the base main body 574a is bent toward the rear heat radiation exposed portion 575 to form a bent portion 574d, and the bent portion 574d is exposed to the heat radiation window portion 571a. The bent portion 574d is separated from the rear portion of the solenoids 85 and 95, and a space portion 574e having upper and lower sides opened is formed between the bent portion 574d and the solenoids 85 and 95. Therefore, the heat generated from the solenoids 85 and 95 is easily escaped from the upper opening and the lower opening of the space 574 e through the space 574 e. Further, in the left and right side heat release pieces 574c, the side heat release pieces 574c located on the large winning hole solenoid 85 side (right side in FIG. 82) are located on the decoration open / close solenoid 95 side (left side in FIG. 82) It is set larger than the side heat dissipation pieces 574c. This is because the special winning opening solenoid 85 tends to generate heat more easily than the decorative opening and closing solenoid 95 due to the repeated opening and closing operation of the special winning opening 31, so the special winning opening solenoid 85 is more easily dissipated than the decorative opening and closing solenoid 95 It is for. Note that, for the same reason, the upper heat dissipating piece 574a is in close contact only with the large winning opening solenoid 85 and not in close contact with the decorative open / close solenoid 95.

  The heat radiation exposed portion 575 is a flat metal plate which is larger than the base main body 574a of the heat radiation base portion 574 and the heat radiation window portion 571a of the drive unit cover 571 and extends along the outer surface of the rear portion of the drive unit cover 571. ing. Further, the bending portion 574d of the heat dissipation base portion 574 facing from the heat dissipation window portion 571a is secured in a detachable manner by a fastening member 580 (see FIG. 81 (c)) such as a screw. A heat conduction sheet 581 (see FIG. 81 (d)) is interposed between the bent portion 574d and the heat radiation exposed portion 575. Furthermore, on the left and right side edges of the heat radiation exposed portion 575, contact pieces 575a in contact with the rear portion of the drive unit cover 571 are respectively protruded toward the drive unit cover 571 side, and the entire heat radiation exposed portion 575 is driven. It is configured to avoid the problem that the transparent resin drive unit cover 571 is melted by the close contact with the unit cover 571 and the heat transmitted from the solenoids 85 and 95 to the heat radiation exposed portion 575.

  A rear opening 571b is opened below the heat release window 571a of the rear of the drive unit cover 571 and an exposure opening 575b is opened at a location facing the rear opening 571b of the heat release exposed portion 575 to open the drive unit cover. Heat in air 571 (more specifically, air in a heated state) can be discharged to the rear of the opening and closing drive unit 570 through the rear opening 571 b and the exposure opening 575 b. Further, three lower openings 571 c are opened under the drive unit cover 571, and the heat in the drive unit cover 571 (specifically, the air in a heated state) passes through the lower openings 571 c to the lower side of the open / close drive unit 570. It is configured to be able to leak out. Furthermore, a side opening 571 d is opened in one side (right side shown in FIG. 81B) of the drive unit cover 571, and the side projection piece 583 of the heat sink 90 is opened and closed from the side opening 571 d. Of the side projection piece 583 so that heat (specifically, heated air) around the side projection piece 583 can flow out to the side of the opening / closing drive unit 570 through the side opening 571 d. ing. In addition, the rear opening 571 b and one lower opening 571 c are provided with a reinforcing rib 584 for suppressing the bending of the opening edge. The heat radiation exposed portion 575 is driven to release heat by fitting the reinforcing rib 584 provided in the rear opening 571 b to the rear opening 571 b of the heat radiation exposed portion 575 so that the reinforcement rib 584 and the rear opening 571 b are fitted. It may be configured to be positioned relative to the unit cover 571. Then, a horizontal streak shaped uneven portion 585 is formed inside the other side of the drive unit cover 571 (inside the left side shown in FIG. 82), and the other side of the drive unit cover 571 (in other words, the center case 23). When the opening / closing drive unit 570 is viewed from the center side of the (1), the concave and convex portion 585 interferes and the solenoids 85 and 95 are less likely to be visible.

  In the open / close drive unit 570 having such a configuration, the solenoids 85 and 95 are covered by the drive unit cover 571 and the heat radiation exposed portion 575 is disposed outside the drive unit cover 571 through the heat radiation window portion 571a. Even if the actor tries to cause the unauthorized member to reach the solenoids 85 and 95, the drive unit cover 571 can prevent the unauthorized member from reaching the unauthorized member and can prevent unauthorized operation on the solenoids 85 and 95. Moreover, the heat generated from the solenoids 85 and 95 is conducted from the heat conduction sheet 577, 578 to the heat radiation base portion 574, passes through the heat radiation window portion 571a, and reaches the bent portion 574d and the heat conduction sheet 581. It is possible to smoothly release (radiate) the switching drive unit 570 outward through the portion 575. Further, since the heat radiation exposed portion 575 is a flat plate extending along the outer surface of the drive unit cover 571, there is no need to secure a large space for the arrangement of the heat radiation exposed portion 575, and the periphery of the game board 6 is limited. Space can be used effectively.

  Furthermore, since the heat radiation exposed portion 575 can be attached to and detached from the heat radiation base portion 574, the drive unit cover 571 and the heat radiation exposed portion 575 interfere with each other at the time of assembling or disassembling the opening / closing drive unit 570. As a result, it is possible to suppress the inconvenience that the assembling operation and the disassembling operation of the opening and closing drive unit 570 are delayed. Further, since the heat of the big winning opening solenoid 85 for opening and closing the big winning opening / closing member 84 can be released by the heat radiating member 572, the big winning opening solenoid 85 which is likely to be in a high temperature state due to repeated opening and closing operation Can be cooled, and the disadvantage that the big winning opening solenoid 85 is broken by heat can be suppressed.

  In the sixth embodiment, the special winning opening solenoid 85 and the decoration open / close solenoid 95 are exemplified as the electric drive source for the heat release processing and the tampering prevention target, but the present invention is not limited to this. The point is that the cover member and the heat dissipating member of the present invention may be applied to any aspect of the electric drive source as long as the object is intended to suppress a failure due to heat generation and a illegitimate operation. For example, the cover member and the heat dissipating member of the present invention may be applied to a motor which is a type of electrical drive source. Further, in the sixth embodiment, the big winning opening solenoid (a solenoid for operating the big winning opening / closing member 84) 85 is mentioned as one of the examples of the electric drive source, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an opening and closing member may be provided to open and close a winning opening other than the big winning opening, and the cover member and the heat radiating member of the present invention may be applied to a solenoid that operates the opening and closing member.

  And although the configuration is different for each of the above-described embodiment and each modification, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the pachinko gaming machine may be configured by applying all or part of the configuration contents of one embodiment or one modification to another embodiment or another modification. Moreover, although displaying board | substrate structure information by silk screen printing was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this.
