  Then, the locking member 105 is inserted into the mounting recess 108 from the rear side of the rear side plate 20b, and the insertion piece 111 is inserted into the sliding groove 104 so that both the removal preventing projections 112, 112 are fitted to both the entrances 106, 106. Slide to either. As a result, since the front surface of the substrate 110 is in contact with the rear end edge of the rib 107 and the retaining protrusions 112 and 112 wider than the groove width of the sliding groove 104 are positioned on the front surface of the rear plate 20b, the lock member 105 Does not escape from the sliding groove 104.

  Therefore, in a state where the pair of decorative movable bodies 36a and 36b are swung and immersed so that the frame-shaped decorative members 39 and 42 are stored in the storage spaces 58a and 58b, for example, as shown in the direction of the arrow in FIG. One frame-shaped decorative member 39 is slid into the storage space 58a in which the frame-shaped decorative member 39 is stored. Then, the fitting piece 114 on the same side is fitted to the lock pin 109. As a result, the stop piece 113 on one side of the fitting piece 111 comes into contact with the front end surface 65 (the contact lower surface) of the frame-shaped decorative member 39, thereby preventing the frame-shaped decorative member 39 from swinging. become. Therefore, for example, during the transportation of the pachinko gaming machine P to be shipped from the factory to the pachinko hall, vibration is applied and the decorative movable bodies 36a and 36b and the frame-shaped decorative members 39 and 42 swing to each other to display the electronic display 12. Even if it appears on the front side of the screen 12a, the swinging movement of the decorative movable body 36a is prevented by the stop piece 113, and the pair of decorative movable bodies 36a and 36b are not required to be broken and are not damaged. . However, after the pachinko gaming machine P is carried into the hall, the lock member 105 is removed.

  The pachinko gaming machine P according to the present invention has the above configuration, and the operation will be described next. Most of the game balls that have been driven into the game unit 2a flow down the left region E1 on the left side of the variable display device 11. Then, when the game ball passes through the passing chucker 15, it is electrically detected and a lottery “Ox” is made separately. As a result, if the result of “O” is indicated, the open / close wing piece 13a, 13a is opened once so that it is easy to win. In some cases, the winning prize opening 13 is directly won without passing through the passing chucker 15.

  Further, the game ball that has flowed into the warp passage 24 is discharged from the lower end to the upper surface of the stage 25, attenuates while repeating reciprocating rolling left and right along the upper surface of the stage 25, and from the front end edge of the stage 25 to the game board 2 surface. Return to flow down. Among these, when a game ball rolling on the upper surface of the stage 25 enters the ball receiving port 33 at the center of the stage 25, it is discharged from the ball discharge port 28 below to the surface of the game board 2. In this case, there are many opportunities for the game ball to win the start winning opening 13. The game ball surpassing the stop plate 26 provided at the terminal end of the stage 25 through the guide path 27 is discharged to the lower right region E2 of the game unit 2a. Since the game ball hardly flows in the lower right region E2, the game unit 2a surface can be used as widely as possible.

  When a game ball wins the start winning opening 13, the symbols displayed on the display screen 12 a of the electronic display 12 start to fluctuate and stop after a certain period of time. When the stopped symbols are aligned to a special symbol such as “777”, it becomes a big hit state that is advantageous to the player. Under certain conditions, the winning prize opening 14 repeatedly opens and closes, for example, 16 rounds. You can get a winning ball.

  In such a game flow, the decorative movable bodies 36a and 36b are actuated in a timely manner in order to increase the fun of the game. That is, when the drive motor 51 is driven, the driven gear 48 that meshes with the drive gear 52 rotates, and the engagement pin 50 moves in the elongated hole 47 of the sleeve plate 46. As a result, both frame-shaped decorative members 39 and 42 protrude from the vertical direction to the front side of the display screen 12a of the electronic display 12, and the tips of these frame-shaped decorative members 39 and 42 are joined together to appear in a heart shape. become. At this time, the LED 57 emits light to enhance the illumination effect. Also, on the display screen 12a corresponding to the heart-shaped frame-shaped decorative members 39, 42, only the portions are displayed with different symbols.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the arm portions 38 and 41 of both the decorative movable bodies 36a and 36b are pivotally supported in the vicinity of the outside of the electronic display 12, and both the arm portions 38 and 41 are pivotally mounted in a cross shape. . Then, by swinging the arm portion 38 of one decorative movable body 36a by the drive motor 51, the both frame-shaped decorative members 39 and 42 appear and disappear in front of the electronic display 12. Therefore, each decorative movable body 36a , 36b can be distributed and the storage spaces 58a, 58b can be dispersed to facilitate storage. This makes it possible to increase the size of the decorative movable bodies 36a and 36b and further increase the fun of the game.

  At this time, since the pair of decorative movable bodies 36a and 36b are arranged so as to be in contact with each other at the vertical position, when the decorative movable bodies 36a and 36b are in contact with or away from each other, one of the decorative movable bodies 36a and 36b is disposed. It can be rotated using its own weight. As a result, the load on the drive motor 51 for operating them can be reduced, and the operating speed can be increased.
