With the above-described structure, when the game is started, the game ball comes into contact with the obstacle nail, and a part of the game ball flows down near the side ramp. At this time, the side lamp is integrally equipped with a winning member. Therefore, a part of the game ball is accepted as a winning ball by the winning member.

At the same time, the winning ball received from the winning member flows down through the winning ball channel. At this time, the prize sphere moving down the slope from the prize member and flowing downward can be visually recognized by the player through the cover member. Further, the winning sphere is flipped forward by an inclined member provided at a bent portion of the winning sphere flow path. As a result, the winning ball smoothly moves to the cover member side in the downstream part.

The winning ball reaching the winning ball flow path on the downstream side flows down the winning ball flow path area surrounded by the back plate of the translucent cover member and the base member. Therefore, the player can visually recognize the winning prize ball flowing down.

Further, the invention according to claim 2 adopts a configuration in which the winning ball flow path is disposed on the front side (player side) of the game board, and the other configuration is the same as the invention according to claim 1. . With the above configuration, the winning ball received by the winning member flows down the winning ball channel formed on the front side of the game board. Since the winning ball flow path is visible to the player, the player can surely confirm that the winning has been achieved.

Further, the invention according to claim 3 employs a configuration in which a prize ball flow delaying means is provided at a predetermined position of the prize ball flow path and projects into the prize ball flow path area and comes into contact with the prize ball,
Other configurations are the same as those of the first or second aspect. With the above configuration, the winning ball flowing down the winning ball flow path comes into contact with the winning ball flow delay means, and the flowing speed decreases. For this reason, the time required for the winning ball to be discharged to the falling port at the lower end of the winning ball channel increases.

Further, the invention according to claim 4 employs a configuration in which a prize ball detecting means for detecting a prize of a game ball and outputting information for operating a light source is provided in the prize member. Is the same as the first, second or third aspect of the invention. With the configuration described above, the side lamps emit light so as to display a predetermined game state. In addition, when the game ball is accepted as a winning ball by the winning member, this information is sent to the control unit, and the light source emits light by the operation of the control unit. The light emission of the light source illuminates the game ball and the winning ball channel.

Thereafter, a predetermined screw member is inserted into a screw hole 7c (see FIG. 2) formed in the plate-like portion 7b of the base member 7. Thereby, the side lamps 3a and 3b are fixed to the game board 2. 2 and 3 have described only the side lamps 3a, 3b arranged on the game board 2 and particularly the side lamps 3a arranged on the left side. In the present embodiment, the side lamps 3a and 3b are arranged on both left and right peripheral portions of the game section 5,
In addition, it may be provided above or below the game section 5, and the number thereof is not necessarily limited to two.

[Operation and Function of Side Lamp] Next, based on FIGS. 1 and 2, the operation and function of the side lamps 3a and 3b configured as described above will be described in relation to various operations of the gaming machine. explain.

First, the special symbol starting port 43 during the game
A predetermined number of prize balls are ejected and the special symbol display device 31 operates on condition that a game ball wins. The special symbol display device 31 is configured to display, for example, three numbers in an arbitrary combination after a predetermined time has elapsed. And when all the numbers are the same,
A special winning opening (attacker) 39 disposed below the special symbol display device 31 is activated. At this time, the light source 9a (see FIG. 3) of the side lamps 3a and 3b is turned on and off in order to indicate that the player is in an advantageous state and to enhance the interest.

The gaming machine according to the present embodiment has side lamps 3a and 3b on both the left and right sides of the special symbol display device 31.
And a winning member 6 integrally therewith. And the game part 5
When the game balls inside are received by the winning member 6, the side lamps 3a and 3b blink, and a certain number of prize balls are paid out.

Here, the side lamps 3a and 3b described above are used.
The functions and operations described above are merely examples, and can be used for displaying various other information. That is, when the player touches a game ball firing knob (not shown) with his / her hand, this is detected, and the light source 9a of the side lamps 3a and 3b is displayed as an indication of the start of the game.
It is also conceivable to configure so as to emit light.

The above is the side lamp 3 according to the present invention.
This is a basic function of a general side lamp including a and 3b (display units for a game section). In addition, the side lamps 3a and 3b according to the present invention have the following special functions.

As shown in FIG. 2, a part of the game ball is received as a winning ball N by the winning member 6 provided on the side lamp 3a. At this time, a winning port (not shown) of the winning member 6
Is provided with the winning ball detection means 6a, so that the passage of the winning ball N is detected. The detection information is transmitted to a main control unit (not shown), and the light source 9a provided in the side lamp 3a by the operation of the main control unit (see FIG. 3).
Emits light to enhance the decorative effect. Further, the winning ball detecting means 6
When a detects the winning ball N, in addition to the above, it is determined that the ordinary electric accessory 45 of the special symbol starting port 43 is opened or the special symbol display device 31 or the ordinary symbol display device 47 is operated. May be transmitted.

At the same time, the winning ball N received from the winning member 6 flows down through the winning ball channel 7a. At this time, the prize sphere N, which moves on the inclined portion from the prize member 6 and flows down to the downstream portion 8c side, is visible to the player through the cover member 11. The winning ball N is repelled to the near side by the inclined member 9b provided at the bent portion of the winning ball channel 7a. As a result, the winning ball N smoothly flows downward 8c.
To the cover member 11 side (player side).

The winning ball N reaching the winning ball channel 7a on the downstream side 8c flows down the winning ball channel region surrounded by the translucent cover member 11 and the back plate 4 of the base member 7. Go on. At this time, since the prize ball flow delay means 11a is formed on the inner wall of the cover member 11, the prize ball N flowing down comes into contact with the prize ball flow delay means 11a. That is, the winning ball flow delaying means 11a is provided with the winning ball channel 7a.
Since the shape is configured so as to protrude, the flow rate of the winning ball N is reduced, and the time required for the winning ball N to flow down to the falling port 8 is delayed. In particular, in the side lamp 3a of the present embodiment, the winning ball flow delay means 11a is provided on both the left and right sides, so that the flowing speed can be sufficiently reduced and the winning ball N can be caused to move complicatedly. it can.

For this reason, compared to the conventional side ramp, the movement of the winning ball N in the winning ball flow path 7a has an effect of further increasing the interest of the player. This is because the conventional side lamp merely repeats light emission and blinking of the light source, and the player is not accustomed to it and is no longer required to draw special attention. On the other hand, the player usually shows great interest in the movement of the winning ball, and the moving of the winning ball in the side lamp is particularly fresh for the player and has a synergistic effect with the emission of the light source. This is because it is easy to enhance the interest of the player.

[0055]

As described above, according to the present invention, the base member constituting the side lamp is provided with a winning member for receiving a game ball as a winning ball and a winning ball flow path for flowing the winning ball in a visible state. For this reason, as well as the effect of decorating the game board and the game ball by generating light as a general game section display device, the player can visually recognize the winning ball flowing down in the winning ball channel, As a result, it is possible to enhance the interest of the player and dramatically enhance the decoration effect of the game board, as compared with ordinary side lamps and winning members. In addition, since the side lamps are integrally provided with the winning members, an excellent effect that the number of steps can be reduced in the assembling process of the gaming machine is produced. Further, conventionally, by arranging the side lamps of the present invention directly related to the game in the left and right end regions of the game unit that has not been utilized much, it becomes possible to effectively use the region.
This produces an excellent effect.

By arranging a part of the winning ball flow path on the front side of the game board, the player can more easily recognize the winning ball flowing down in the winning ball flow path, and the decoration effect is further improved. The effect is excellent.

Further, the prize ball flowing down the prize ball flow path is provided at a predetermined position of the prize ball flow path by providing a prize ball flow delay means which projects into the prize ball flow path area and comes into contact with the prize ball. The speed is reduced, so that the player can visually recognize the winning ball for a longer time. In addition, the winning ball flow delaying means causes the winning ball to flow down with more complicated movement. For this reason, there is an excellent effect that the winning prize ball is easy to see and the effect of the effect is enhanced. This allows
The player also pays attention to the left and right end portions of the game section, which has not been closely watched in the past.

Further, the winning member is provided with a winning ball detecting means for detecting the winning of the game ball and outputting information for operating the light source. The light source of the side lamp also emits light when a game ball is received. For this reason, the light source equipped in the side lamp also irradiates light to the winning ball flowing down the winning ball flow path, thereby further improving the decoration effect and enhancing the interest of the player. Occurs.
