Has a problem that the display is difficult to see and you cannot fully enjoy the game.

On the other hand, although it is considered that such a problem can be easily solved by increasing the size of the variable display device, the electric parts such as liquid crystal and CRT constituting the display part are expensive and the cost is very high. There are many difficulties to realize next.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to allow a visually impaired player to fully enjoy a game with a simple structure. At the same time, it is to provide a pachinko gaming machine capable of increasing the power of the game.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention is provided with a lens portion on a transparent glass plate that covers the front surface of the gaming board, and the lens portion plays a game on the gaming board. The feature is that the area is enlarged so that it can be seen through.

The lens portion provided on the glass plate may be configured so that only a specific board surface component such as a variable display device or a special winning opening arranged in the game area of the game board can be magnified and seen through.

When the inner and outer two glass plates are fitted in the glass holding frame, the lens portion may be provided on either the inner or outer glass plate.

Further, the lens portion may be formed of synthetic resin and the lens portion may be attached to a glass plate.

Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention,
The lens part provided on the glass plate allows the game area of the game board to be magnified and seen through, and even the visually impaired player can see the movement of the pachinko ball rolling in the game area and the winning state. Now that you can see clearly, you can fully enjoy the game.

Further, since the variable display device and the special winning opening arranged in the game area are enlarged and seen through, it is possible to increase the power of the change in the display of the variable display device and the action of the character. Becomes

[0013]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a pachinko gaming machine 1 has a front frame 3 that is openably and closably mounted on the front surface of a machine frame 2. The front frame 3 is formed in the shape of a frame having a window hole 4 provided at a substantially central portion thereof. There is.

The inner and outer two glass plates 7 and 8 are fitted in the glass holding frame 5 with a fixed interval.
A game board 9 is detachably attached to the rear of the window hole 4 of the front frame 3 behind the glass holding frame 5.

Reference numeral 11 is a lower storage tray mounted on the lower front surface of the front frame 3, and reference numeral 12 is an operation handle that is operated when the pachinko ball supplied to the firing portion is fired.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 shown with the glass holding frame 5 opened, and the launch rail 13 and the pachinko ball launched from the launching portion of the launch rail 13 on the surface of the game board 9. A guide rail 14 for guiding the player is planted in a substantially circular shape, and an area defined by the guide rail 14 is configured as a game area 15. This game area 15
A variable display device 18 having two variable display devices 16 and 17 on the upper and lower sides is disposed in the upper center part of the. Further, passage starting ports 19a and 19b are provided on both sides of the variable display device 18, and a variable starting port 20 and a special winning opening 21 are provided below. In addition, the game area 15 has a general winning opening 2
2 and a windmill 23 and a large number of obstacle nails 24 for changing the flow velocity and direction of the falling pachinko ball.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 described above has a gaming area 1
The pachinko balls fired at 5 pass through the starting ports 19a, 19b
When any one of the above is passed, the upper variable display 16 of the variable display device 18 starts variable display and stops after a fixed time.
Then, when the display at the time of stop becomes a predetermined symbol (for example, 7), the opening / closing pieces 20a, 20a of the variable starter opening 20 are opened, and after a certain period of time or when a predetermined number of pachinko balls are won, it is designed to be closed. The lower variable display 1 of the variable display device 18 according to the pachinko ball that has won the starting opening 20.
7 starts variable display. And the lower variable display 17
The display at the time of stop is a specific combination (for example, "7, 7,
7 "," 3, 3, 3 "etc.)
It is possible to repeat the operation of opening the one open / close door 21a for a predetermined time or until a predetermined number of pachinko balls are won, for a predetermined cycle.

According to the present invention, however, FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 5, a lens portion 25 is provided in the substantially central portion of the inner glass plate 7 so that the game area 15 of the game board 9 can be enlarged and seen through.

Also, when a character is incorporated in the variable display device 18 or the special winning opening 21, the movement of the character is greatly expanded and the three-dimensional effect is increased, which is more powerful and enjoys the game further. be able to.

In the above description, the lens portion 25 may be configured such that only a specific board surface component such as the variable display device 18 or the special winning opening 21 is magnified to be transparent. Further, the lens portion 25 may be provided on the outer glass plate 8 as shown in FIG. 5, and the lens portion 26 is made of synthetic resin as shown in FIG. 6, and the lens portion 26 is attached to the glass plate 7. You may wear it.

[0019]

As is apparent from the above description, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention is provided with a lens portion on the glass plate which covers the front surface of the gaming board, and the gaming area of the gaming board is enlarged by the lens portion.
