As shown in FIG. 5, the production pattern 111 includes a plurality of symbol rows (here, three in the left and right direction) each consisting of a plurality of numerical symbols and other symbols. The pattern is made up of a combination of a pattern main body 111a made up of numbers 1 to 8, etc., and a decorative part 111b such as characters attached to this pattern main body 111a. Note that the display mode of the effect pattern 111 can be arbitrarily changed by enlarging or reducing, changing the display position, erasing the decoration part 111b, etc.

The production symbols 111 start to fluctuate by vertical scrolling or the like for each symbol row according to a predetermined variation pattern at the same time as the first and second special symbols start to fluctuate, and the symbols stopped on a predetermined effective line become in a predetermined manner. The final stop is made almost simultaneously with the stop of fluctuation of the first and second special symbols. In addition, in the production pattern 111, when all the stopped symbols on the active line are the same, it is a jackpot production mode, otherwise it is a small hit production mode or a miss production mode, and the first and second special symbols are a jackpot production mode and a small hit production mode. In the case of a winning mode or a losing mode, the first and second special symbols become a jackpot presentation mode, a small winning presentation mode, or a loss presentation mode.

In addition, the first and second special random number information acquired at the time of winning the first and second special symbol starting means 62 and 63 are each stored with a predetermined upper limit, for example, up to 4 pieces each. , If the pending memory on the second special symbol side is 1 or more at the time when the first and second special symbols can be changed, one pending memory of the second special symbol is consumed and the second special symbol is displayed. When only the pending memory on the first special symbol side is 1 or more, one pending memory of the first special symbol is consumed and the first special symbol is varied. In this way, in this embodiment, both the first special symbol and the second special symbol do not change, and when there is a pending memory on both the first special symbol side and the second special symbol side, is designed to preferentially change the second special symbol.

In the case of this embodiment, the player hits the left hand aiming at the first special symbol starting means 62 during the normal gaming state other than the special gaming state described later, and starts the normal symbol during the special gaming state (during the time saving state). In order to hit right aiming at the means 61 and the second special symbol starting means 63, the first special symbol mainly fluctuates during the normal game state, and the second special symbol mainly fluctuates during the special game state (during the time saving state). do. In this embodiment, the right-handed notifying means 60 can notify that the player is in a right-handed playing period (in a special game state, a jackpot state, etc.) when the player should play right-handed. The right-handed hitting notification means 60 is composed of one LED 60a, which is arranged on the right decorative frame 93 of the central display frame unit 53 (FIGS. 5 and 9), and is turned on during the right-handed hitting period and during other periods. The interior is designed to turn off the lights. Note that the LED 60a constituting the right-handed player notification means 60 is an example of a light emitting body for notification that reports information by a light emission mode.

The number of pieces of first and second special random number information held and stored (first and second special held numbers) is notified to the player by the liquid crystal display means 57 or the like. As shown in FIG. 5, the liquid crystal display means 57 is capable of displaying first and second reserved images X1 to X4, Y1 to Y4, which indicate the first and second special reserved numbers, and a fluctuating pending image Z. There is. That is, when the first and second special reserved numbers increase based on the detection of game balls by the first and second special symbol starting means 62 and 63, the first and second reserved images X1~, Y1~ is additionally displayed on the liquid crystal display means 57, and the first and second special symbols are displayed based on the start of a new variation of the first and second special symbols by the first and second special symbol display means 71 and 72. When the number of special reservations decreases, for example, the changing pending image Z is deleted, and the first and second pending images X1~, Y1~ are shifted one by one toward the front of the queue (for example, to the right side of the screen). At the same time, the pushed out leading first and second pending images X1 and Y1 are moved, for example, to a predetermined position and changed into a new pending image Z during fluctuation.

In addition, there are two types of probability of hitting the jackpot (jackpot probability) in jackpot determination (random number lottery) performed based on game ball detection by the first and second special symbol starting means 62 and 63: low probability and high probability. , the probability is set to high during the variable probability state among the special game states described later, and the probability is set to low otherwise.

Also, if the jackpot determination result is a loss, select one or more types of losses, and if the jackpot determination result is a small hit, select one or more types of small hits. However, if the jackpot determination result is a jackpot, one of one or more types of jackpots (for example, two types of probability variable jackpot and non-probability variable jackpot) is selected. Here, a variable probability jackpot is a jackpot that causes a variable probability state to occur as a special gaming state after the jackpot state ends, and a non-probable variable jackpot is a jackpot that causes a time-saving state, for example, to occur as a special gaming state after the jackpot state ends. These distributions are made based on jackpot symbol random numbers, etc.

During the time saving state, the fluctuation time of the first and second special symbol display means 71 and 72 for the first and second special symbols is switched to a shortened fluctuation time that is shorter than the normal fluctuation time, and the winning probability is changed for the normal symbol. From a normal probability to a high probability, from a normal variation time to a shortened variation time, from a normal opening/closing pattern (for example, 0.2 seconds x 1 opening) to a special opening/closing pattern of the second special symbol starting means 63 in a normal profit state. It is possible to switch to an opening/closing pattern (for example, opening for 2 seconds x 3 times). The time saving state starts when the jackpot state ends, and ends when, for example, the first and second special symbols change a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times) or the next jackpot game occurs before then. In addition, during the variable probability state, for example, in addition to the same switching as in the time saving state, the jackpot probability is switched from a low probability to a high probability. Note that the variable probability state starts when the jackpot state ends, and ends, for example, when the next jackpot state occurs.

The first big prize winning means 64 is an actuated winning means that can change into an open state in which the game ball can enter the first big prize opening 64a and a closed state in which it cannot win by the operation of the opening/closing member 112. It is equipped with a game ball detection switch 113 that detects a winning game ball in the winning hole 64a, and determines whether the stopped symbols after the fluctuation of the first and second special symbol display means 71 and 72 become a jackpot or a V winning prize described later. When a jackpot condition occurs, the opening/closing member 112 opens according to one or more jackpot opening patterns. When a game ball enters the first big prize opening 64a, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls per winning.

This first big winning means 64 is arranged on the upper side of the big winning unit 55 as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG.

In addition, on the second display portion a2, horizontally written characters in Gothic typeface reading "Caution for high temperature of power supply board" are displayed in white.

Although the above warning stickers S1 to S7 differ in external shape, size, display content, and layout, they all have the same basic structure, that is, the number of printing plates, the number of colors used, the placement of glue, etc. It has become. Note that if these warning stickers are placed indiscriminately, the effectiveness of the warning will be weakened, so for example, the high temperature warning sticker S7 should be affixed only to circuit board cases, etc. that have areas that reach a specified temperature or higher, and should not be applied to other circuit board cases. It is desirable to limit the warning stickers to only the areas where they are truly needed, such as not placing them on the areas where they are needed.

FIG. 11 shows, as an example, the basic configuration of the caution sticker S1. As shown in FIGS. 11(A) and 11(B), the caution sticker S1 is a white main sheet made of a material such as PET or paper, and a yellow ( Printing is performed using two versions: a Y version) and a black version (K version), and a full-surface glue layer (glue version) with glue adhered to the entire surface is provided on the back side. The aspects of each edition (1st to 3rd editions) are as shown in FIGS. 11(a) to 11(c). In this way, the warning stickers S1 to S7 have a printing plate number of 3, a printing color number of 2 (excluding the white fabric color), a full-surface adhesive layer, and the entire surface is non-transparent. In addition, it shall be non-transparent.

As mentioned above, the caution stickers S1 to S7 are unlikely to be replaced even if the parts are reused, and the caution stickers S1 to S4 are handled by the players, and the caution stickers S5 to S7 are handled by the hall personnel. Since there is a possibility of each being touched by hand, a full-surface adhesive layer is used, prioritizing resistance to peeling and cost over ease of peeling. In this sense, it is desirable to use a glue with relatively strong adhesive strength. Further, since the warning stickers S1 to S7 do not have transparent parts, there is no need to use highly transparent glue, and costs can be reduced in this respect as well.

In addition, the warning stickers S1 to S7 are for the sole purpose of calling attention and are not intended for decoration, so while keeping costs down by minimizing the number of colors and editions, black and yellow The white contrast makes it easy to notice. In addition, the number of colors and types of colors (yellow, black, white) used in multiple (all in this case) caution stickers S1 to S7 are standardized, and common symbols (first caution symbol s1 and second caution symbol s2) and that color combination (yellow, black, white) is not used in other types of adhesive sheets, so that it can be seen at a glance that it is a warning sticker. In addition, in the caution stickers S1 to S7, not only the overall color combination (yellow, black, white), but also the fact that they are divided into a first display part a1 and a second display part a2, and The color arrangement in display parts a1 and a2 is also made common. Note that either one of the first and second caution symbols s1 and s2, for example, only the first caution symbol s1 may be displayed on the first display portion a1.

Next, decorative stickers S11 to S16, which are decorative adhesive sheets, will be explained. Note that, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 9, all of the decorative stickers S11 to S16 are arranged within the game area 23 on the game board 16.

As shown in FIG. 9, the decorative sticker S11 is affixed to a colorless and transparent affixed portion 131 formed on the upper front side of the decorative frame 93 in the central display frame unit 53. As shown in FIGS. 12(A) and 12(B), this decorative sticker S11 is printed in silk 4th edition (CMYK colors) on the back (bottom) side of a colorless and transparent body sheet made of a material such as PET. + Printed using silk white (100%) plate + glue plate. In this way, the decorative seal S11 has a printing plate number of 6 and a printing color number of 5.

The first to fourth editions are cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K), and full-color illustrations are formed by these three primary colors + black. Of course, if you want to express black using only the three primary colors, you can omit the fourth plate (black), but it is not possible to express complete black using only the three primary colors, so it is preferable to use an independent black plate. .

The illustration (decoration) drawn on the decorative sticker S11 is, as shown in FIG. 12(a), a first decorative part 161 consisting of a flatland, trees growing there, and mountains behind it, and a sun floating in the sky and its surroundings. It is composed of a second decorative part 162 consisting of the letters "SUN" on both sides, and the part corresponding to the sky is a non-decorative part 163 which is not decorated except for the second decorative part 162.

In the fifth edition, white (100%) is applied from the back side of the decoration, and as shown in FIG. 12(b), the area coincides with the area of the first decoration part 161, and White marking is not performed in the areas of the decorative portion 162 and the non-decorative portion 163. When this white printing is performed using 100% white, the area (here, the area corresponding to the first decorative portion 161) becomes almost completely impermeable to light (shading rate of 90% or more). In this way, although the area that has been whitened with 100% white has a slight translucency, it can be assumed that it does not substantially transmit light, so in this embodiment, it is (that is, a light-shielding plate). In the area where this whitening is not performed, the non-decorative part 163 remains colorless and transparent, and the second decorative part 162 is translucent, and depending on the type and shade of color, it is colored transparent or colored opaque (in this case, it is colored opaque). opaque). As a result, the light from the light emitting means such as the LED 81a arranged on the rear side of the transparent main body plate 50 passes through the transparent attached part 131 and the like, and then passes through the second decorative part 162 and the non-decorative part 163. .

The sixth version is a glue version, and as shown in FIG. 12(c), the glue layer of this decorative seal S11 has a glue part 164 to which glue is attached and a glue-free part 165 to which no glue is attached. It has a partial glue layer. The adhesive portion 164 also includes an outer circumferential region 164a having a substantially constant width along the outer periphery of the transparent sheet (the region outside the dashed line in FIG. 12(c)), and a decorated decorative portion (the first decorative portion 161 and the It is formed in an area that combines two decorative parts 162) and a decorative area 164b corresponding to the second decorative part 162). Note that in this decorative sticker S11, the decorative area 164b is also a non-transparent part.

In this way, in the decorative seal S11, the outer peripheral area 164a along the outer periphery and the decorative area 164b (also a non-transparent part) corresponding to the decorated decorative parts 161 and 162 are used as the glue part 164, and the other parts Since a partial glue layer is used with the non-glue portion 165, even if the adhesive strength of the glue is the same, the overall adhesion strength can be suppressed compared to the case where a full-surface glue layer is used. Compared to the case where an adhesive part is provided, the stability of pasting can be improved, and the pasting strength of the pasting sheet is maintained above a certain level, and the workability when re-sticking when reusing the central display frame unit 53 is improved. It is possible to increase the Further, since glue does not adhere to the non-decorative portions and transparent portions except for the outer peripheral region 164a, high translucency and transparency of the non-decorative portions and transparent portions can be maintained.

As shown in FIG. 9, the decorative sticker S12 is affixed to a colorless and transparent affixed portion 132 formed on the right front side of the decorative frame 93 in the central display frame unit 53. As shown in FIGS. 13(A) and 13(B), this decorative sticker S12 is printed in silk 4th edition (CMYK colors) on the back (bottom) side of a colorless and transparent body sheet made of a material such as PET. + Silk white (100%) version + Black pressed version + Silk white (50%) version + Glue version, and there are also 5th edition (100% silk white) and 6th edition (black pressed). A hologram is placed between them. In this way, the decorative seal S12 has a printing plate number of 8 (not including holograms) and a printing color number of 6 (the black of the 4th silk plate and the black of the black press are the same color, the 100% white and the 50% white). (if it is a different color).

The first to fourth editions are cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K), and full-color illustrations are formed by these three primary colors + black. As shown in FIG. 13(a), the illustration (decoration) drawn on the decorative sticker S12 includes a first decorative part 171 consisting of a child, a butterfly, a dragonfly, and a tree, and a second decorative part that is their background part. 172.

Further, within the area of the first decorative portion 171, non-decorated portions 173 to 175 are provided. The non-decorative part (light emitting part) 173 includes LEDs (light emitters for notification) 69a and 69b that constitute the normal symbol display means 69, and LEDs (light emitters for notification) 70a to 70d that constitute the ordinary reserved number display means 70. It is composed of a predetermined number (six) of circular areas arranged close to each other. The non-decorative part (light-emitting part) 174 corresponds to the 7-segment LED (light-emitting body for notification) constituting the second special symbol display means 72, and is constituted by one rectangular area. The non-decorative part (light-emitting part) 175 corresponds to the LED (light-emitting element for notification) 60a constituting the right-handed hitting notification means 60, and is configured of one triangular area.

The 5th and 7th editions are white stamped from the back side of the decoration, with the 5th edition using 100% white and the 7th edition using 50% white. As shown in FIG. 13(b), the area of the fifth edition (100% whiteout) matches the area of the first decorative part 171 excluding the non-decorative parts 173-175, and the area of the first decorative part 171 excluding the non-decorative parts 173-175 The area of the second decorative portion 172 is designed so that 100% white printing is not performed. When this white (100%) white printing is performed, the area exhibits non-transparent properties that hardly allow light to pass through. The area of the seventh edition (whiteout 50%) matches the areas of non-decorative parts (light-emitting parts) 173 to 175, as shown in FIG. 13(d). When this white (50%) is applied, the areas (non-decorative parts 173 to 175) have translucency but become opaque (transparent parts, non-transparent parts). In this way, the fifth edition (100% white printing) and the seventh edition (50% white printing) have the same color (white) but different light transmittances.

The sixth edition is a black press plate (light shielding plate) for fixing the hologram and blocking light, and corresponds to the entire area except the non-decorative parts 173 to 175, as shown in FIG. 13(c). Note that the hologram layer is formed by any method such as transfer, but is designed to be peeled off in areas corresponding to the non-decorative parts 173 to 175. In this way, almost the entire surface of the decorative seal S12 is a non-transparent part, and even for the non-decorative parts 173 to 175, which are slightly transparent parts, a light emitting body for notification is arranged on the rear side. Therefore, almost no light from the light emitting means such as the LED 83a disposed on the rear side of the transparent body plate 50 is transmitted.

The eighth version is a glue version, and as shown in FIG. 13(e), the glue layer of this decorative seal S12 has a glue part 176 to which glue is attached and a glue-free part 177 to which no glue is attached. It has a partial glue layer. The no-glue portion 177 includes a first no-glue portion 177a corresponding to the non-decorative portion 173, a second no-glue portion 177b corresponding to the non-decoration portion 174, and a third no-glue portion 177c corresponding to the non-decoration portion 175. The entire area other than the first to third glue-free parts 177a to 177c is a glue part 176.

The first to third glueless parts 177a to 177c are slightly wider areas than the nondecorative parts 173 to 175, respectively, and the first glueless part 177a has six circular regions corresponding to the nondecorative part 173. are connected to each other to form one region (light-emitting region), and the third adhesive-free portion 177c forms one circular region including the triangular region of the non-decoration portion 175. Note that the first glue-free portions 177a may be a plurality of (six) independent areas corresponding to the non-decorative portions 173 individually.

In this way, in the decorative seal S12, the LEDs 69a and 69b that constitute the normal symbol display means 69, the LEDs 70a to 70d that constitute the ordinary reserved number display means 70, the 7-segment LED that constitutes the second special symbol display means 72, and the right-hand hit notification The areas corresponding to the LEDs 60a constituting the means 60 are non-decorative parts 173 to 175, and the areas of the non-decorative parts 173 to 175 are whitened (50%), so that the LEDs on the rear side are hidden. At the same time, the light from the LED can be transmitted, and it is possible to achieve both good appearance and a notification function using light emission. Furthermore, since the areas corresponding to the non-decorative parts 173 to 175 are glue-free parts 177a to 177c, it is possible to prevent a decrease in translucency due to glue. In addition, since a hologram layer is placed between the fifth edition and the sixth edition, the area where 100% whitening (the fifth edition) is not applied, that is, the area of the second decorative part 172 which is the background part reflects the light in a complicated manner and looks three-dimensional, thereby making the first decorative portion 171 stand out.

Note that the non-decorative portion 174 corresponding to the 7-segment LED may not be whitened (50%) and may be colorless and transparent. Further, a non-glued portion may be provided in areas other than the non-decorative portions 173 to 175, and for example, an outer peripheral area +α along the outer periphery (for example, a 100% white area) may be provided with a glue portion.

The decorative sticker S13 is affixed to a colorless and transparent pasted portion 133 formed on the left front side of the decorative frame 93 in the central display frame unit 53, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 14(A) and 14(B), this decorative sticker S13 is printed in silk 4th edition (CMYK colors) on the back (bottom) side of a colorless and transparent body sheet made of a material such as PET. + Silk white (100%) plate + Silk white (50%) plate + Glue printing. In this way, the decorative seal S13 has a printing plate number of 7 and a printing color number of 6 (when 100% white and 50% white are different colors).

The first to fourth editions are cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K), and full-color illustrations are formed by these three primary colors + black. As shown in FIG. 14(a), the illustration (decoration) drawn on the decorative sticker S13 includes a first decorative part 181 consisting of a butterfly, a dragonfly, a stag beetle, and a tree, and a second decorative part that is their background part. 182. Further, within the area of the first decorative portion 181, a non-decorated portion 183 that is not decorated is provided. The non-decorative part (light-emitting part) 183 corresponds to the 7-segment LED (light-emitting body for notification) constituting the first special symbol display means 71, and is constituted by one rectangular area.

The 5th and 6th editions are white-printed from the back side of the decoration, with the 5th edition using 100% white and the 6th edition using 50% white. As shown in FIG. 14(b), the area of the fifth version (100% whiteout) matches the area of the first decorative part 181 excluding the non-decorative part 183, and the area of the first decorative part 181 excluding the non-decorative part 183 and the second decorative part For the area 182, 100% white printing is not performed. When this white (100%) white printing is performed, the area exhibits non-transparent properties that hardly allow light to pass through. The area of the 6th edition (whiteout 50%) matches the area of the non-decorative part 183 (light emitting part), as shown in FIG. 14(c). When this white (50%) whitening is performed, the area (non-decorative part 183) has a certain degree of translucency but becomes opaque (transparent part, non-transparent part).

In addition, the second decorative part 182, which is neither 100% white nor 50% white, has translucency (transparent part), and is colored and transparent depending on the type and shade of color (transparent part). Or it becomes colored and opaque (non-transparent part). As a result, light from the light emitting means such as the LED 83a disposed on the rear side of the transparent main body plate 50 passes through the transparent attached portion 133 and the like, and then passes through the second decorative portion 182. Note that the light transmittance of the non-decorative part (specific light-transmitting part) 183 corresponding to the 7-segment LED (light-emitting part) is smaller than the light transmittance of the second decorative part (non-specific light-transmitting part) 182. .

The seventh version is a glue version, and as shown in FIG. 14(d), the glue layer of this decorative seal S13 has a glue part 184 to which glue is attached and a glue-free part 185 to which no glue is attached. It has a partial glue layer. The adhesive portion 184 also includes an outer circumferential area 184a having a substantially constant width along the outer periphery of the transparent sheet (the area outside the dashed line in FIG. 14(d)), and a non-transparent area that is whitened (100%). 184b. Note that the non-decorative portion 183 corresponding to the 7-segment LED is excluded from the adhesive portion 184 (outer peripheral region 184a) even if at least a portion thereof is within an area of approximately constant width along the outer periphery of the transparent sheet. Ru.

In this manner, in the decorative seal S13, the outer peripheral area 184a along the outer periphery and the non-light-transmitting area 184b that has been whitened (100%) are used as the glue part 184, and the other part is used as the non-glue part 185. Since a glue layer is used, even if the adhesive strength of the glue is the same, the overall adhesion strength can be suppressed compared to a case where a full-surface glue layer is used, and compared to a case where the glue section is provided only in the outer peripheral area. This makes it possible to increase the stability of pasting, maintain the pasting strength of the pasting sheet above a certain level, and improve workability when replacing the pasting when reusing the central display frame unit 53. In addition, since glue does not adhere to the second decorative portion 182, which is a light-transmitting region, except for the outer peripheral region 184a, the light-transmitting property of the light-transmitting region can be maintained at a high level. In addition, the area corresponding to the 7-segment LED constituting the first special symbol display means 71 is a non-decorative part 183, and since the area of the non-decorative part 183 is white (50%), the rear side It is possible to hide the LEDs while allowing the light from the LEDs to pass through, and it is possible to achieve both good appearance and a notification function using light emission.

Moreover, since the area corresponding to the non-decorative part 183 is a glue-free part 185, it is possible to prevent a decrease in translucency due to glue. Note that the non-decorative portion 183 corresponding to the 7-segment LED may not be white-printed (50%) (ie, the 6th edition may be omitted) and may be colorless and transparent.

The decorative sticker S14 is affixed to a colorless and transparent affixed portion 134 formed on the front side of the winning gutter 105 in the starting winning unit 54, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 15(A) and 15(B), this decorative sticker S14 is a silk magenta (M) version + Printing is done using silk black (K) plate + silk white (100%) plate + glue plate. In this way, the decorative seal S14 has a printing plate number of 4 and a printing color number of 3.

The first version is magenta (M) and has the word "summer" formed approximately in the center of the transparent sheet, as shown in FIG. 15(a). The second version is black (K) and forms the border of the word "summer" as shown in Figure 15(b). In the third edition, white (100%) is used to stamp from the back side of the decoration, and as shown in Figure 15(c), that area is where the word "summer" formed in the first and second editions is printed. Consistent with the area. When this white (100%) white printing is performed, the area (in this case, the character area for "summer") exhibits non-transparent properties that allow almost no light to pass through. The surrounding area where this whitening is not performed remains colorless and transparent.

The fourth version is a glue version, and the glue layer of this decorative seal S14 is a full-surface glue layer with no glue-free areas, as shown in FIG. 15(d). This decorative seal S14 has a small area, and when adopting a partial glue layer (outer peripheral area + α (non-transparent part, decorative part, non-transparent part)) similar to the large-area decorative stickers S11 to S13, etc., the adhesive Although the area of the area is not much different from that of a full-face glue layer, the cost is higher, so a full-face glue layer is adopted from the viewpoint of cost effectiveness. Of course, a partial glue layer may be adopted in which the outer circumferential area +α (decorative part, non-transparent part, non-transparent part) is the glue part, or only the outer circumferential area is the glue part. Further, an LED may be arranged on the rear side of the affixed portion 134 to which the decorative sticker S14 is affixed.

The decorative sticker S15 is affixed to a colorless and transparent affixed portion 135 formed on the front side of the big winning unit 55, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 16(A) and 16(B), this decorative sticker S15 is made of silk 4 version (CMYK color) on the back (bottom) side of a colorless and transparent main sheet made of a material such as PET. + Printed using silk white (100%) plate + glue plate. In this way, the decorative seal S15 has a printing plate number of 6 and a printing color number of 5.

The first to fourth editions are cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K), and full-color illustrations are formed by these three primary colors + black. The illustration (decoration) drawn on the decorative sticker S15 is, as shown in FIG. It is composed of a first decorative part 191 and a second decorative part 192 on the lower side, and a region on the front side of the second inclined rolling path 121 is a first non-decorative part 193 that is not decorated. The first decorative part 191 is composed of a first main decorative part 191a consisting of a child, a butterfly, and a tree, and a first background decorative part 191b which is a background part of these parts. Inside the second decorative part 192, there are a second non-decorative part 194 corresponding to the front side of the sorting guide passage 119a and the sorting means 119 (see FIG. 5), and a character decorative part 192a forming the characters "SUMMER VACATION". It is provided.

In the 5th edition, white (100%) is applied from the back side of the decoration, and the area is the first main decoration part 191a and the second decoration part 192, as shown in FIG. 16(b). This corresponds to the area excluding the second non-decorative portion 194 and the character decoration portion 192a. Furthermore, the area corresponding to the character decoration part 192a is a semi-white area where the white density is varied by distributing dots of arbitrary shapes (in this case circular) of different sizes in a predetermined pattern. . When this white (100%) white printing is performed, the area exhibits non-transparent properties that hardly allow light to pass through.

In the area where this whitening is not performed, the first non-decorative part 193 and the second non-decorative part 194 remain colorless and transparent, and the first background decorative part 191b is transparent and changes depending on the type and shade of color. It becomes colored transparent or colored opaque. Further, in the character decoration portion 192a, which is a half-white dot area, the white dot portion is non-transparent, and the gaps therebetween are transparent and colored transparent or colored opaque depending on the type and shade of the color. In this way, for the character decoration portion 192a, it is possible to substantially change the light transmittance while using white stamping with a constant light transmittance.

In this way, in the decorative seal S15, the first non-decorative portion 193 and the second non-decorative portion 194 correspond to the front side of the second inclined rolling path 121, the distribution guide path 119a, and the distribution means 119 (all game ball passing portions). is a transparent part, and the passage of the game ball can be visually confirmed from the front side through this transparent part. In addition, the light from the light emitting means such as the LED 125a arranged on the rear side of the big winning unit 55 passes through the transparent pasted part 135 etc., and then passes through the first background decoration part 191b, the first non-decoration part 193, It passes through the second non-decorative portion 194 and the like.

The sixth version is a glue version, and as shown in FIG. 16(c), the glue layer of this decorative seal S15 has a glue part 195 to which glue is attached and a glue-free part 196 to which no glue is attached. It is a glue layer. In addition, the adhesive part 195 includes an outer circumferential area 195a (area outside the dashed line in FIG. 16(c)) having a substantially constant width along the outer periphery of the transparent sheet, and a white area (100%) (semi-white area). It is formed in an area that combines a non-transparent area 195b (which is also a non-transparent part) corresponding to a non-transparent area 195b (excluding the character decoration part 192a, which is an area). Note that in this decorative sticker S15, the non-light-transmitting area 195b is also a part of the decorative area.

In this way, in the decorative seal S15, the outer circumferential area 195a along the outer periphery and the non-transparent area 195b corresponding to a part of the white-out (100%) area are used as the glue part 195, and the other parts are used as the glue part 195. Since a partial glue layer is used with no glue part 196, even if the adhesive strength of the glue is the same, the overall adhesion strength can be suppressed compared to the case where a full-face glue layer is used. It is possible to improve the stability of pasting compared to the case where a section is provided, maintain the pasting strength of the pasting sheet above a certain level, and improve workability when re-sticking when reusing the grand prize unit 55. Is possible. Moreover, since the first background decoration part 191b, which is a transparent area except for the outer circumferential area 195a, corresponds to the glue-free area 196, high transparency can be maintained. In addition, since the areas (transparent parts) corresponding to the first and second non-decorative parts 193 and 194 are also glue-free parts 196 except for the outer peripheral area 195a, it is possible to prevent the transparency from decreasing due to glue, and the second High visibility of the game balls in the inclined rolling path 121, the distribution guide path 119a, and the distribution means 119 can be maintained.

The decorative sticker S16 is affixed to a colorless and transparent affixed portion 136 formed on the front side of the normal winning unit 56, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 17(A) and 17(B), this decorative sticker S16 is made of silk 4-print (CMYK color) on the back (bottom) side of a colorless and transparent main sheet made of a material such as PET. + Printed using silk white (100%) plate + glue plate. In this way, the decorative seal S13 has a printing plate number of 6 and a printing color number of 5.

The first to fourth editions are cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K), and full-color illustrations are formed by these three primary colors + black. As shown in FIG. 17(a), the illustration (decoration) drawn on the decorative sticker S16 consists of a first decorative part 201 consisting of a ladybug and a dragonfly, and a second decorative part 202 which is the background part of them. It is configured.

In the fifth edition, white (100%) is applied from the back side of the decoration, and as shown in FIG. 17(b), the area coincides with the first decoration part 201. When this white (100%) white printing is performed, the area exhibits non-transparent properties that hardly allow light to pass through. The area of the second decorative portion 202 where this whitening is not performed is translucent and becomes colored transparent or colored opaque depending on the type and shade of the color.

The fourth version is a glue version, and the glue layer of this decorative seal S16 is a full-surface glue layer with no glue-free areas, as shown in FIG. 17(c). This decorative sticker S16 is elongated and has a relatively small area, and uses a partial glue layer (outer area + α (non-transparent part, decorative part, non-transparent part)) similar to other decorative stickers S11 to S13, S15, etc. In this case, the cost is high even though the area of the glue part is not much different from the case of a full-face glue layer, so a full-face glue layer is adopted from the viewpoint of cost effectiveness. Of course, a partial glue layer may be adopted in which the outer circumferential area +α (decorative part, non-transparent part, non-transparent part) is the glue part, or only the outer circumferential area is the glue part. Further, an LED may be arranged on the rear side of the affixed portion 136 to which the decorative sticker S16 is affixed.

The adhesive strength of the glue used in the above decorative stickers S11 to S16 is the same as that of the above-mentioned cautionary stickers S1 to S7, performance information display sticker S21, external terminal information display sticker S22, main board information display sticker S23, etc. described later. The adhesive strength is weaker than that of the glue used in . This makes re-upholstery easier and makes it less likely that adhesive will remain.

Next, the performance information display sticker S21, the external terminal information display sticker S22, and the main board information display sticker S23, which are pasted sheets for information display, will be explained. The performance information display sticker S21 displays performance information of the gaming machine, and as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, is placed at a predetermined position outside the gaming area 23 on the gaming board 16, for example, at the lower part of the third rail member 51c. It is attached to the front side, and as shown in FIG. 18(A), it is formed into a horizontally long trapezoid shape with the upper edge sloped upward to the right in accordance with the shape of the third rail member 51c. In addition to the model name 211 of the machine, information on the number of prize balls 212, jackpot probability information 213, two-dimensional code 214, etc. are displayed in black characters on a white background.

As shown in FIGS. 19(A) and 19(B), this performance information display sticker S21 is printed on the surface (upper surface) of a white main body sheet made of materials such as PET or paper by silk printing or the like. Printing is performed using one black (K plate) plate (one color), and a full-surface glue layer (glue plate) with glue adhered to the entire surface is provided on the back side. The aspects of each edition (first and second editions) are as shown in FIGS. 19(a) and 19(b). In this way, the performance information display sticker S21 has a printing plate number of 2, a printing color number of 1 (excluding the white fabric color), and has an adhesive layer on the entire surface, which is non-transparent and non-transparent. It shall have translucency. Note that no LED is arranged on the rear side of the performance information display sticker S21.

This performance information display sticker S21 displays the performance information of the gaming machine, so it may be replaced if the parts are to be reused, but it is not intended for decoration and is not intended for use in the gaming area 23. Since it is disposed on the outside, in this embodiment, a full-surface adhesive layer is used, giving priority to cost and the like. In addition, since it is only necessary to ensure that the information is easy to read, and appearance is not important, costs are kept down by minimizing the number of prints and colors.

The external terminal information display sticker S22 displays information regarding the external terminal, and is pasted on the back side of the front frame 3 near the external terminal board 152a (non-transparent pasted part), as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 18(B), it is formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape to correspond to the external terminal board 152a, and each of the plurality of external terminals 152 (12) has a terminal color and a corresponding output signal. The type, etc. is displayed in black letters on a yellow background. Of the 12 external terminals 152, the two on the left are first external terminals under the control of the payout and firing control board 156, and the remaining ten are second external terminals under the control of the main control board 141. Therefore, this external terminal information display sticker S22 affixed to the front frame 3 has specific information such as "prize ball" and "door/frame open" for the two first external terminals. The type of output signal is displayed, and for the remaining ten second external terminals, terminal numbers such as "information terminal 1" to "information terminal 10" are displayed instead of the type of output signal. Information about the type of output signal output from the second external terminal is displayed at an arbitrary position on the game board 16, for example, on an external terminal information display sticker (not shown) affixed to the back side of the main control board case 142. be done.

As shown in FIGS. 20(A) and 20(B), the external terminal information display sticker S22 is printed on the front (top) side of a yellow main body sheet made of materials such as PET and paper by silk printing or the like. Printing is performed using one black (K plate) plate (one color), and a full-surface glue layer (glue plate) with glue adhered to the entire surface is provided on the back side. The aspects of each edition (first and second editions) are as shown in FIGS. 20(a) and 20(b). In this way, the external terminal information display sticker S22 has a printing plate number of 2, a printing color number of 1 (excluding the yellow fabric color), a full-surface adhesive layer, and the entire surface is non-transparent. It shall be non-transparent. Note that no LED is arranged on the rear side of the external terminal information display sticker S22.

This external terminal information display sticker S22 is affixed to the front frame 3 side and displays information on the first external terminal under the control of the payout and firing control board 156, so it is unlikely to be replaced. Therefore, in this embodiment, a full-surface adhesive layer is used, giving priority to cost and resistance to peeling. In addition, because it is only necessary to ensure that the information is easy to read, and appearance is not important, costs are kept down by minimizing the number of prints and colors.

The main board information display sticker S23 displays information regarding the main control board 141, and is attached to the back side of the transparent main control board case 142 as shown in FIG. 4, and as shown in FIG. 18(C).

FIG. 22 illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention, and shows an example in which the decorative seal S11 in the first embodiment is partially modified to provide a glossy plate. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in that a glossy plate is added to the decorative seal S11.

FIG. 22 corresponds to FIG. 12 according to the first embodiment, in which a silver or other pasta glossy plate (a new fifth version) are arranged. Note that the aspects of the plates other than the glossy plate are the same as in the first embodiment. As described above, in the decorative seal S11 of this embodiment, the number of printing plates is 7, and the number of printing colors is 6 (including gloss).

The area (glossy area) of the fifth edition (glossy edition) coincides with the area of the second decorative portion 162. That is, the glossy layer is arranged on the rear side of the second decorative part 162. As a result, the area of the second decorative portion 162 is given a glossy appearance while maintaining its color, reflecting light and giving a sparkling appearance.

Note that the glossy plate may be placed on the upper surface side than the color plate. In this case, the color behind the glossy area is hidden. Further, special plates other than the pasta glossy plate, such as a flat plate or a textured plate, may be used.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, when a partial adhesive layer is employed, it is desirable that the adhesive portion in the outer circumferential region be arranged with a constant width without interruption along the outer periphery of the main sheet, but there may be partial interruptions or changes in width. For example, if there is a U-shaped or other cutout on the outer periphery of the main body sheet, it is desirable to arrange the glue part with a constant width along the cutout as shown in FIG. 23(A). As shown in B) and (C), a discontinuous portion or a narrow portion may occur in the glue portion of the outer peripheral region depending on the size and shape of the notch. If ease of peeling is a priority, then FIGS. 23(B) and 23(C) are more advantageous than FIG. 23(A). Further, a part of the outer circumferential area may be made into a glue-free part, or a part of the outer circumferential area may have a narrower width of the glue part (narrow width part). This makes it easier to remove the adhesive sheet because a tool can be inserted into the non-glued area or the narrow area.

In the embodiment, a full-face glue layer is used for the decorative stickers S14 and S16, which are relatively small in area among the decorative stickers S11 to S16. You may also use a glue with lower adhesive strength. Further, a partial glue layer may also be employed for the decorative stickers S14 and S16.

In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, a common color arrangement is adopted for all of the plurality of types of caution stickers S1 to S7, but a plurality of types of color arrangement may be adopted. However, even in this case, it is desirable to use the same color combination (yellow, black, white) and not to use that color combination on other adhesive sheets. FIG. 24 shows an example in which different color arrangements are adopted for the caution stickers S5 to S7 among the caution stickers S1 to S7 shown in FIG. 10. In the caution stickers S5 to S7 shown in FIG. 24, the background is white, the letters, etc. are black, and a black border is provided along the outer periphery of the main sheet. Furthermore, the first caution symbol s1' has a structure in which a black "!" is placed inside a yellow triangle with a black border.

In the caution sticker S5 shown in FIG. 24(A), the first warning symbol s1' and the word "Caution" in black Gothic font are displayed on the first display part a1 formed in a constant width area along the upper side. A second caution symbol s2 consisting of letters is displayed, and below it, in the second display section a2, horizontally written letters ``Be careful of the edges of metal parts'' made of Gothic font are displayed in black. ing.

The caution sticker S6 shown in FIG. 24(B) is not divided into two areas, the first display part a1 and the second display part a2, and the second caution symbol s2 is not displayed. A first caution symbol s1' is displayed at the beginning of two types of character strings, ``Be careful of electric shock, edges'' and ``Be careful of opening the back cover,'' which indicate what should be done. Similarly, the caution sticker S7 shown in FIG. 24(C) is not divided into two areas, the first display part a1 and the second display part a2, and the second caution symbol s2 is not displayed. , a first caution symbol s1' is displayed next to the character string "Caution for high temperature of power supply board" indicating contents to be careful of.

Note that the color combination (yellow, black, white) used for the caution sticker shown in FIG. 24 is the same as that of the caution sticker shown in FIG. The front (top) side of the white main body sheet is printed with two versions, yellow (Y version) and black (K version), using silk printing, etc., and glue is applied all over the back side. What is necessary is to provide an adhesive layer (glue plate) on the entire surface.

In the embodiment, an example is shown in which two colors, white and black, are used in the main board information display sticker S23, but only one color, white or black, may be used. Further, although the upper surface side and the back surface side of the main body sheet are respectively printed using a white plate, the white plate may be placed only on either the upper surface side or the back surface side. Further, an information display adhesive sheet similar to the main board information display sticker S23 may be attached to other board cases.

Although the embodiment shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko machine, the present invention can be similarly implemented in various gaming machines such as a slot machine, an arrangement ball machine, and a mahjong ball game machine.
