DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a pachinko machine provided with a game device such as a variable winning device and a variable display device in a game area surrounded by guide rails.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a transition condition to a specific game mode that is advantageous to a player occurs, for example, when a hit ball wins a game starting opening provided inside or outside a special gaming device, and then a special winning opening. When the player wins a prize, the variable winning device provided integrally with or separately from the special game device allows the player to win the game ball from the closed state (first state that is disadvantageous to the player) to the open state (advantageous to the player) There is known a pachinko machine in which the right to start the special game is executed by converting the pachinko machine into a special state.

In addition, when the variable winning device is assembled integrally with the special game device in the form of a movable wing and the special winning opening is won,
The opening and closing operation is performed twice to induce the winning of the game starting opening, and when the game starting opening inside the special game device is won, the transition and execution of the specific game are immediately started and the winning of the game starting opening is made. There are also known pachinko machines and the like that update special games each time.

Furthermore, a special game device consisting of a digital display and a so-called attacker variable winning device separate from it are provided, and when a special winning opening is won, the numbers displayed on the digital display are rotated. There is already known a pachinko machine in which an attacker opens based on a game result, that is, a weight of a combination of numbers.

It is attached to the boss portion 106 via the attachment hole 102 by 07.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the frame member 103 after mounting the liquid crystal display 100 is fitted and fixed to the concave chamber 26 of the game board 10, the tip of the fixing member 104 is an inward flange of the concave chamber 26. It hits the portion 26A and is fixed by screws 18 penetrating the inward flange portion 26A from the rear of the game board 10.

At this time, since the elastic member 105 is appropriately compressed by adjusting the screw tightening degree, the surface of the frame member 103, that is, the surface of the clear plate 109 should be made substantially flush with the surface of the game board 10. Becomes extremely easy.

Further, by interposing the elastic member 104, it also has a buffering effect to alleviate shock and vibration to the liquid crystal display 100.

The clear plate 109 is preferably adhered or screwed to the fitting step 103A.

(Effect of the Invention) In the present invention, various game information display means conventionally projected on the surface of the game board are collectively embedded under the surface of the game board, and the surface of the embedded game information display means. Since the hit ball can freely enter and flow down freely on the barrel game board, game devices such as a variable device and a variable display device are provided, and the existence of these devices allows the hit ball to flow down. Even if the pachinko machine has a narrowed area, it can be relatively freely set within the game area without further narrowing the area in which the hit ball can flow down.

Therefore, conventionally, various game information display means, which are individually dispersed and projected mainly on the surface of the game board outside the game area, are integrated into one point in the game area where the player is constantly gazing. For the player, while being enthusiastic about the game to be developed on the game board, at the same time, it is possible to know the development state of the game without shifting the sight line here and there, and to increase the degree of concentration on the game. You can

Since it is functionally centralized and arranged in the board display area formed in a part of the game area, unlike the conventional case in which it is arranged in a scattered manner inside and outside the game area as in the conventional case. While being enthusiastic about the game, at the same time, it is possible to easily grasp the whole situation of the development and progress of the game, and the visual fatigue of the player can be greatly reduced.

In addition, promptly according to the development of the game and changes in the progress state,
The aim of the ball can be changed and the flight distance of the ball can be adjusted quickly.
