  Here, a game realized by the game board 4 provided with the above-described various components and devices will be described. When the player operates the operation handle 18, a game ball is launched by the launch control device 104 provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1. The game ball launched from the launch control device 104 is discharged to the upper part of the game area 12 through the launch rail 15 and the guide rail 11, and flows down toward the out port 77 while colliding with the obstacle nail or the like. . When the game ball flowing down the game area 12 passes through the gate 74 and is detected by the gate switch 74a, the normal symbol display 44 starts to display the variation of the normal symbol.

  When the game ball is detected by the gate switch 74a, the normal random number per symbol is extracted from the counter that updates the normal random number per symbol within a predetermined range. Then, when normal symbol display on the normal symbol display unit 44 is started, it is determined whether or not to win based on a determination random number per normal symbol. As a result of the variable display, a mode according to the determination result To stop the LED. Specifically, when it is determined to be a hit, it stops with the right LED (red light emitting LED) turned on, and when it is determined to be off, the left LED (green light emitting LED) is turned on. Stop in state.

  In addition, the normal random number determined based on the fact that the game ball passes through the gate 74 and the game ball is detected by the gate switch 74a while the normal symbol display 44 performs the normal symbol fluctuation display is Up to a predetermined number (four in this embodiment) can be stored, and the number of stored random numbers for determination per ordinary symbol (the number of stored general maps) is displayed by the general table storage LED 48. As described above, the general-purpose hold memory LED 48 includes two LEDs on the left and right. In this example, the left-hand LED is turned on to indicate that the general-purpose reserved memory number is 1, and the left and right two LEDs are turned on to indicate that the common-purpose reserved memory number is two. Blinks and the right LED is turned on to indicate that the number of reserved maps is 3, and the left and right LEDs are flashed to indicate that the number of reserved maps is 4.

  The normal symbol change display on the normal symbol display 44 is stopped after a predetermined period of time, and when the display result of the normal symbol at the time of stoppage is “winning”, the variable winning ball apparatus 71 is kept for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) Control to open state. On the other hand, when the display result of the normal symbol display 44 becomes “losing”, the closed state where the game balls cannot be received at the lower start port 73 is maintained without controlling the variable winning ball device 71 to the open state. However, the upper start opening 72 is in a state where it can accept a game ball.

  That is, the lower start port 73 is controlled to be opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) when the display result that is a hit on the normal symbol display 44 is stopped and displayed. Specifically, based on the fact that the display result corresponding to the normal symbol display 44 is stopped and displayed, the normal electric accessory solenoid 71b is moved and the movable piece 71a is rotated to open the variable winning ball apparatus 71. Control to the state. Then, when the predetermined period has elapsed, the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 71b is moved again to rotate the movable piece 71a, and the variable winning ball apparatus 71 is controlled to be closed. By controlling the variable winning ball device 71 to the open state, the game ball can be received in the lower start port 73, and by controlling the variable winning ball device 71 to the closed state, the game ball cannot be received. Become.

  In addition, when a game ball flowing down the game area 12 wins the upper start opening 72 or the lower start opening 73, the special symbol display 41 can start the variation display of the special symbol (for example, it is not in the big hit game) State, and special symbols and decoration symbols are not being displayed in a variable state), the special symbol display 41 starts the special symbol variation display, and the image display device 42 starts the decorative symbol variation display. Then, after the predetermined period has elapsed, the special symbol variation display on the special symbol display 41 and the decorative symbol variation display on the image display device 42 are stopped, and the display result is derived.

  In the present embodiment, two winning winning openings, an upper starting opening 72 and a lower starting opening 73 provided in the variable winning ball apparatus 71, are provided as winning openings for which the variation display of special symbols is permitted. The number of start winning openings provided in the variable winning ball apparatus 71 is not limited to these, and for example, only one of the upper starting opening 72 and the lower starting opening 73 may be provided. Further, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out based on the fact that a game ball wins the upper start port 72 and is detected by the upper start port switch 72a, and the game ball is discharged to the lower start port 73. A predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls is paid out based on the fact that is won and detected by the lower start port switch 73a.

  When a game ball is detected by the upper start opening switch 72a and the lower start opening switch 73a, the big hit determination random number is extracted from the counter that updates the predetermined big hit determination random number. Further, when the special symbol display 41 starts the special symbol variation display (and when the image display device 42 starts the decorative symbol variation display), whether or not the big hit is determined based on the big hit determination random number. As a result of the variable display, lighting of the LED of the special symbol display 41 is controlled in a manner corresponding to the determination result, and a decorative symbol is derived and displayed on the image display device 42. Specifically, when it is determined that the game is a big hit, the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 are lit and displayed in a specific manner (big hit symbol), and the specific display of the decorative symbol is displayed on the image display device 42. When the result (big hit symbol: combination of the same identification information (symbol)) is derived and displayed and determined to be out of place, the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 are different from a specific mode (out of symbol) ) And a display result that is different from the specific display result on the image display device 42 (missing symbol: symbols other than jackpot symbol, in this embodiment, at least two or more types of identification information (symbol)) Derived). Thus, the display result of the special symbol on the special symbol display device 41 corresponds to the display result of the decorative symbol on the image display device 42.

  Further, the decorative symbols that are variably displayed on the image display device 42 are symbols for effect different from the special symbols that are variably displayed on the special symbol display 41. The contents are displayed to the player with a more enhanced effect using a decorative pattern for performance. In other words, when the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 are lit and displayed in a specific manner, the transition control to the big hit gaming state (15R big hit gaming state, 2R big hit gaming state) is carried out. Even if the display result of the decorative symbol becomes the specific display result, when the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 are lit and displayed in a manner different from the specific manner, the transition control to the big hit gaming state is not performed.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the specific mode to be lit and displayed by the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 is a special mode (probability variation symbol), a non-special mode (non-probability variation symbol) different from the special mode, In addition, the special mode (probability variation design) includes a high profit special mode (15R probability variation design) and a low profit special mode (2R probability variation design), and the non-special mode (non-probability variation design) includes A high-profit non-special aspect (15R non-probable variation) and a low-profit non-special aspect (2R non-probable variation) are included.

  When the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 are lit and displayed in a high profit special mode (15R probability variation pattern) among the specific modes, the display result of the specific display result is displayed on the image display device 42 as the display result of the decorative symbol. Among them, the high profit special display result (15R probability variable symbol: in this embodiment, the same odd number combination) is derived and displayed, and the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 are of the low profit special mode ( In the case of lit display with 2R probability variation symbol, the low profit special display result (a combination of predetermined decoration symbols out of the 2R probability variation symbols (outlier symbol) as a display result of the decoration symbol on the image display device 42. ): In this embodiment, “123”) is derived and displayed.

  Further, when the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 are lit and displayed in a high-profit non-special mode (15R non-probable symbol) among the specific modes, the specific display as a display result of the decorative symbol is displayed on the image display device 42. Among the results, a high-profit non-special display result (15R non-probable variable symbol: in this embodiment, a combination of the same even number) is derived and displayed, and the two LEDs of the special symbol indicator 41 are low in a specific mode. In the case of lit display in the profit non-special mode (2R non-probable symbol), the low-profit non-special display result (of the 2R non-probable symbol (out of symbol) is displayed as a display result of the decorative symbol on the image display device 42. Predetermined decorative symbol combination): In this embodiment, “321”) is derived and displayed.

  When the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 are lit and displayed in a special mode (high profit special mode and low profit special mode), after the big hit gaming state, there is a higher probability than the normal state and the short time state described later. High probability state determined to be a big hit (In this embodiment, a high probability state is determined to be a big hit with a probability of 1 / 31.5, and a normal state and a short time state are determined to be a big hit with a probability of 1 / 35.5. ) To control.

  On the other hand, when the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 are lit and displayed in a non-special mode (high profit non-special mode and low profit non-special mode), the special symbol display unit 41 displays a special after the jackpot gaming state is over. Until the symbol variation display is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times), the variation time from the start of the variation display of the special symbol to the stop display of the special symbol, and the variation display of the ordinary symbol by the normal symbol display 44 Is controlled to a short time state in which the fluctuation time from the start to the normal symbol stop display is shortened from the normal state. The decorative symbol variation display by the image display device 42 is synchronized with the special symbol variation display by the special symbol indicator 41. Specifically, when the special symbol display 41 starts to display the variation of the special symbol, the image display device 42 starts to display the variation of the decorative symbol, and when the special symbol display 41 stops and displays the special symbol. The decorative design is stopped and displayed by the display device 42. That is, the variation time of the special symbol by the special symbol display device 41 and the variation time of the decorative symbol by the image display device 42 are the same time, and the variation time of the special symbol by the special symbol display device 41 is shortened in a short time state. As a result, the decorative symbol variation time by the image display device 42 is also shortened.

  Further, in the time-short state, control for further extending the opening time for the lower start port 73 to be in the open state is longer than the normal state (in this embodiment, 0.5 seconds in the normal state and 5 seconds in the time-short state). ) And control for increasing the probability that the result of the normal symbol variation display on the normal symbol display 44 will be a hit (in this embodiment, a red lighting display). The normal state is a gaming state different from the high probability state and the short time state. In the short-time state, the probability of being determined to be a big hit is the same as that in the normal state. Therefore, the normal state and the short-time state may be collectively referred to as a low probability state.

  In addition to the above-described example, in the short time state, the special symbol display 41 and the image display device 42 are controlled so that the variation time of the special symbol and the decorative symbol is shorter than the normal state. Control for shortening the variation time from the normal state, control for increasing the probability that the result of the variation display of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display unit 44 is a hit, and the opening time for the variable winning ball apparatus 71 to be in the open state One of the above-described control for extending the time in the normal state, and the control for increasing the number of times the variable winning ball apparatus 71 is opened in the open state, or any combination (or all) may be executed. You may do it.

  In this embodiment, the left, middle, and right decorative symbols corresponding to the three display areas of the image display device 42 are controlled to stop in the order of the left decorative symbol → the right decorative symbol → the middle decorative symbol. . The stop symbol of the decorative symbol is a state in which all the decorative symbols of the left, middle and right are stopped and displayed by stopping the display of the middle decorative symbol after starting the variable display of the left, middle and right decorative symbols. A combination of symbols.

  In addition, while the special symbol display 41 is executing the variation display of the special symbol or when the big hit gaming state is being executed, the game ball is won at the upper start port 72 or the lower start port 73, and the upper start port switch The jackpot determination random number extracted based on the game ball detected by 72a and the lower start opening switch 73a (predetermined condition is satisfied) can be stored up to a predetermined number (four in this embodiment). The number of jackpot determination random numbers to be played (number of special figure hold memory) is displayed by a special figure hold memory LED 47. As described above, the special figure storage memory LED is composed of two LEDs on the left and right. In this example, the left-hand LED is turned on to indicate that the special figure reserved memory number is 1, and the left and right two LEDs are turned on to indicate that the special figure reserved memory number is 2, and the left LED Blinks and the right LED is turned on to indicate that the number of special figure hold memory is 3, and by blinking the two LEDs on the left and right, the special figure hold memory number is four. As described above, the special figure holding memory LED 47 has a predetermined number of established conditions (a game ball is won at the upper start opening 72 or the lower start opening 73), but the number of memories that have not yet started the special symbol variation display (special display). The figure holding storage number) is displayed.

  In this embodiment, in the big hit gaming state based on the lighting of the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 in a specific manner, the movable pieces arranged on the left and right sides of the big winning opening by the big winning opening solenoid 76a. It rotates to control the open state so that the game ball can be received in the special winning opening. In addition, when the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 are lit and displayed in the high profit special mode and the high profit non-special mode among the specific modes, the 15R big hit game state is controlled, and the big prize opening is controlled to the open state. When a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses or when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls have won the grand prize opening, the right and left of the big prize opening is again determined by the big prize opening solenoid 76a. The movable piece arranged on both sides is rotated to control the closed state in which the game ball cannot be received in the big prize opening. One round (1R) in the big hit gaming state is from the control to the open state in which the game ball can be received in the big winning opening until the closed state in which the game ball cannot be received in the big winning opening. The 15R jackpot gaming state ends when 15 rounds (15R) are executed.

  Also, when the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 are lit and displayed in the low profit special mode and the low profit non-special mode among the specific modes, the 2R big hit gaming state is controlled, and the big prize opening is controlled to the open state When a predetermined time (for example, 1.3 seconds) elapses, the prize winning solenoid 76a rotates the movable pieces arranged on the left and right sides of the prize winning opening again to accept the game ball at the prize winning opening. Control possible blocking states. The 2R jackpot gaming state ends when two rounds (2R) are executed.

  As described above, the state display LED 43 is driven and controlled in a manner corresponding to the gaming state. Specifically, it is turned off in the normal state, lit in blue in the short-time state, lit in red in the probability variation state, flashed in red in the 15R big hit gaming state, flashed in blue in the 2R big hit gaming state Each state is driven and controlled. As a result, it is possible to grasp which gaming state the player is in. In order to prevent the player from grasping the gaming state, it may be configured not to be lit. Moreover, you may comprise so that indicators, such as LED for alert | reporting whether it is a 15R big hit game state or a 2R big hit game state, may be provided separately from the state display LED43.

That is, the effect stage 60 is surrounded by the image display device 42, the edge decoration member 57, and the guide passage member 58, and all the game balls are discharged without causing the game balls to fall down in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction of the effect stage 60. It is collected in the area and discharged outside the pachinko machine 1.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the guide passage member 58 connected to the first discharge port 57a is bent in an L shape, the lower portion of the guide passage member 58 is gently inclined to the lower right, and the tip portion is gently extended to the upper right. It is formed in the shape of a circular arc that is slanted. In addition, the guide passage member 58 is disposed in front of the left side portion of the edge decoration member 57 and the lower portion of the guide passage member 58 is disposed below the effect stage 60. That is, the guide passage member 58 is disposed without covering the image display device 42 and the effect stage 60, and does not hinder the visual display of the image displayed on the image display device 42 and the game ball rolling on the effect stage 60.

  Further, the guide passage member 58 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin, so that a game ball rolling inside can be visually recognized. The lower portion of the guide passage member 58 forms a bowl-shaped passage having a notch 58a in part, and the left and lower left portions of the guide passage member 58 form a cylindrical passage. Then, the game ball that rolls inside the guide passage member 58 is released from the tip end portion of the guide passage member 58 located below the effect stage 60. As described above, the vicinity of the tip of the guide passage member 58 from which the game ball is discharged is configured in a bowl shape, so that the rolling of the game ball can be clearly seen and the player can be focused on the rolling of the game ball. .

  Further, when the back decoration member 50 is disposed on the rear surface side of the game board 4, the guide passage member 58 is disposed in parallel with the rear surface side of the guide member 40 d provided on the restriction wall member 40. For this reason, the guide member 40d is disposed in a state where a part of the guide passage member 58 is covered with the guide member 40d. In this embodiment, the guide member 40d is formed of a transparent synthetic resin, and the guide passage member 58 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin. Since it is formed of resin, a game ball that rolls inside the guide passage member 58 can be visually recognized even in a portion covered with the guide member 40d. In addition, by arranging the guide passage member 58 in parallel on the rear surface side of the guide member 40d, it can be difficult to grasp which of the game balls is rolling, and attention can be paid to the released game balls. it can.

  In this embodiment, the guide ball member 58 is made of a transparent synthetic resin so that the game ball rolling inside can be visually recognized. However, the game ball rolling inside the guide passage member 58 is visible. If possible, the guide passage member 58 may have a different configuration. For example, a plurality of slit-like openings may be formed on the side surface of the guide passage member 58 so that a game ball rolling inside can be made visible.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, the leading end portion of the bowl-shaped passage of the guide passage member 58 is three-dimensionally formed with a curved surface from the left side surface (the left side facing the pachinko machine 1) to the upper surface. A repulsion member 58b whose surface is covered with a high repulsion sheet 58c is provided. The high resilience sheet 58c is made of rubber or the like, and blows off the colliding game balls in a predetermined direction. Further, the repelling member 58b is provided facing the direction in which the game ball is released.

  Specifically, the game balls distributed to the first discharge port 57a enter the guide passage member 58 (route 1a in FIG. 14) and are urged in the guide passage member 58 to be the tip of the guide passage member 58. (Route 1b in FIG. 14). The game ball released from the front end of the guide passage member 58 collides with the curved surface left side (left side when facing the pachinko machine 1) of the repulsion member 58b, and is blown off in a predetermined direction (see FIG. 14). Route 1c).

  Note that the game ball rolling in the guide passage member 58 is released below the effect stage 60 (for example, route 1b in FIG. 14). The curved surface formed from the left side surface to the upper surface of the repulsive member 58b is formed to have an inclination in the lower left direction (lower left when facing the pachinko machine 1), and the upper portion of the curved surface has a gentle inclination, It is configured so that the slope becomes steeper as it approaches the lower part of the left side surface. The game ball that rolls on the guide passage member 58 and is released below the effect stage 60 collides with the left side of the curved surface of the repulsion member 58b and is blown upward in the effect stage 60. (For example, route 1c in FIG. 14). Thus, the game ball released below the stage 60 can be moved above the stage 60. Further, in this example, the surface of the repulsion member 58b is covered with the high repulsion sheet 58c to increase the repulsive force of the game ball, and the game ball is blown off above the stage stage 60 at a high rate.

  Also, the game balls distributed to the third discharge port 57b fall above the curved surface of the repulsion member 58b (route 3a in FIG. 14), collide with the upper surface of the repulsion member 58b, and are blown off in a predetermined direction (FIG. 14 routes 3b). As described above, in this example, the curved surface formed from the left side surface (the left side facing the pachinko machine 1) to the upper surface of the repelling member 58b is formed to have a downward slope in the direction of the effect stage 60, and the repulsion The game ball dropped on the upper surface of the member 58b can be guided onto the stage stage 60 (for example, route 3b in FIG. 14).

  In this way, the game ball guided below the stage stage 60 is made to collide with the repelling member 58b and be flipped up above the stage stage 60, so that it is possible to execute an unexpected stage performance, and according to the momentum of the game ball Since the balls are flipped in different directions, attention can be paid to the movement of the game ball that rolls on the guide passage member 58 and collides with the repelling member 58b. Further, in order to drop the game ball in front of the image display device 42 or to blow the game ball in front of the image display device 42 by the repelling member 58b, it is assumed that the predetermined game is executed on the effect stage 60. The player can easily recognize the game ball that rolls on the stage 60.

  Further, since the surface of the repelling member 58b on which the game ball collides is a curved surface, the direction in which the game ball is blown changes depending on the collision position of the game ball. That is, when the surface on which the game ball collides is a flat surface, the direction in which the game ball is flipped is substantially the same direction, but the direction in which the game ball is flipped off by making the surface on which the game ball collides is a curved surface Can be diversified. Therefore, attention can be paid to the movement of the game ball colliding with the repelling member 58b, and a variety of effects can be executed.

  In addition, you may make it comprise the surface where the game ball collides in the repulsion member 58b with several surfaces from which an inclination angle differs. With this configuration, the rebound direction of the game ball can be further diversified, the movement of the game ball colliding with the repulsion member 58b can be noted, and a variety of effects can be executed. . Moreover, it is good also as a structure which combines the surface curved surface and plane which a game ball collides in the repulsion member 58b. For example, the repulsion member 58b may be configured so that the upper surface constituted by a plane and the left side constituted by a plane are connected by a curved surface to be unified.

  In addition, in order to use the momentum of the game ball to blow off the stage 60 from above the stage 60, it is necessary to install a device for moving the game ball from below the stage 60 to the stage 60. Therefore, it is possible to save space without narrowing the display area and the game area 12 of the image display device 42.

  In this example, since the bowl-shaped passage is formed in the lower part of the guide passage member 58, there is a possibility that the game ball blown off by the repulsion member 58b may enter the bowl-shaped passage of the guide passage member 58 again. The game balls can be discharged from the guide passage member 58 by dropping them onto the surface of the discharge shelf 51f by the notches 58a formed in the bowl-shaped passage, thereby preventing the occurrence of clogging. In addition, since the game balls that are distributed to the first discharge ports 57a and roll on the guide passage member 58 are urged, the game balls are discharged from the front end portion of the guide passage member 58 without falling from the notch portion 58a.

  Also, in this example, the game ball that has won the big prize opening located above the image display device 42 is guided into the guide passage member 58 and released below the stage stage 60. Therefore, the game ball can be made to collide with the repulsion member 58b in a state where the momentum of the game ball is strengthened. That is, the game ball rolls into the guide passage member 58 from the upper position of the game area 12, in other words, the game ball rolls into the guide passage member 58 in a state where the potential energy is high. It is possible to make it collide with the repulsion member 58b by being converted into a kinetic energy. Thereby, it is possible to play the game ball from below the effect stage 60 to above the effect stage 60.

  In this embodiment, the game ball that has won the big prize opening is guided into the guide passage member 58. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a take-in port different from the winning port may be formed in the regulation wall member 40, and a game ball that has entered the take-in port may be guided to the guide passage member 58. Similarly, the game balls that have entered the take-in port may be discharged at the second discharge port 57b and the third discharge port 57c. Further, the position where the intake port is formed is not limited to the upper side of the image display device 42 as long as it is possible to blow the game ball from the lower side of the effect stage 60 to the upper side of the effect stage 60. For example, a take-in port is formed in the center on the left side of the image display device 42, and a high-repulsion sheet 58c covering the repulsion member 58b can be used to blow a game ball from below the stage stage 60 to above the stage stage 60. You may comprise.

  The upper left decorative member 53 is formed in a three-dimensional shape (having a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction) in the shape of a character “pro golfer monkey”, and its front surface is made of translucent green synthetic resin and translucent. The side surface is formed from the synthetic resin which does not have translucency. Further, the upper left decoration member 53 is light decorated from the rear side by causing the LED mounted on the LED board (game board upper left LED board 119a) arranged in the box 55 to emit light, and the letters “Pro Golfer Monkey” appear. It comes to let you.

  The lower left decorative member 52 is three-dimensionally shaped like a splash, and is formed of a white synthetic resin having translucency. The lower left decorative member 52 is light-decorated from the rear side by causing the LED mounted on the LED board (game board left LED board 119c) disposed in the box 55 to emit light, and can display the splash of the waterfall. ing.

  The lower right decorative member 54 is formed three-dimensionally (spherical) in the shape of a golf ball, and is formed from a white synthetic resin having translucency. The lower right decorative member 54 is light decorated from the rear side by causing the LED mounted on the LED substrate (lower right decorative LED substrate 119f) disposed on the edge decorative member 57 to emit light. The lower right decorative member 54 is disposed so as to protrude forward, and the front surface thereof protrudes forward of the game board 4.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of LED boards (game board upper left LED board 119a, game board left middle LED board 119b, game board left LED board 119c, game board lower left LED board 119d, game board lower part are provided near the image display device 42. By providing the LED board 119e and the lower right decoration LED board 119f) and blinking in various modes, it is possible to enhance the effect of rendering the image displayed on the image display device 42. A plurality of LED boards (game board upper left LED board 119a, game board left middle LED board 119b, game board left LED board 119c, game board lower left LED board 119d, game board lower LED board 119e, Since the lower right decoration LED board 119f) is arranged, the player who is paying attention to the image displayed on the image display device 42 can easily notice the light emission of the LED.

  Thus, the back surface decoration member 50 is three-dimensionally formed by arranging a plurality of members, and the surface thereof is undulated in the front-rear direction. That is, a member arranged in front of the rear surface of the game board 4 and a member arranged in a position farther from the rear surface of the game board 4 than the members are arranged three-dimensionally on the rear surface side of the game board 4. It creates a space and expresses perspective.

  Further, as described above, the members are arranged in all the areas where the image display device 42 on the rear side of the game board 4 is not arranged. Therefore, a space having a three-dimensional effect is formed in the entire rear surface side of the game area 12 by the back decoration member 50, and it is possible to express the perspective from the front to the rear of the game board 4 and improve the decoration effect of the game area 12 Can be made.

  Furthermore, since the back decoration member 50 is arranged on the rear side of the game board 4, a space with a three-dimensional effect can be formed in the front-rear direction by the back decoration member 50 behind the area in which the game ball can roll in the game area 12. The decoration effect can be improved also in the game area 12 in which the regulating wall member 40 protruding from the surface of the game area 12 is not formed. That is, since the area where the game ball rolls in the game area 12 is required to be a plane, the flow of the game ball is hindered by disposing a three-dimensionally formed member on the front surface of the game board 4. The area | region which rolls the game ball in 12 narrows. For this reason, there are restrictions (position, size, etc.) on the members arranged on the front surface of the game board 4. In the present invention, by arranging a three-dimensionally formed member on the rear side of the game board 4, the game area 12 can be made by the three-dimensional member without being restricted by the area where the game ball rolls in the game area 12. Since it can be decorated, the decoration effect can be improved.

  In addition, a plurality of LED boards (game board upper left LED board 119a, game board left middle LED board 119b, game board left LED board 119c, game board lower left LED board 119d, game board lower LED board 119e, Since the lower decoration LED board 119f) is disposed, the area where the game ball of the game area 12 rolls can be light-decorated, and the decoration effect can be further improved.

  In addition, in this example, although the back surface decoration member 50 is arrange | positioned in all the area | regions visually recognizable from the opening window 30, it is not restricted to this. For example, the back decoration member 50 may be arranged in an area where members (in this example, the regulation wall member 40 and the plate-like panel 70) are not provided on the front side of the game board 4 in the game area 12. Good. That is, you may comprise so that the back surface decoration member 50 may be arrange | positioned at the back surface side of the area | region where the member is not provided in the front side of the game area 12 at least.

  In this example, during the execution of the above-described 2R jackpot gaming state, all or a part (or one) of the game balls won in the big winning opening / closing device 75 may be sent to the first outlet 57a, It guides to the 2nd discharge port 57b and the 3rd discharge port 57c. Based on the fact that the game balls guided to the first discharge port 57a, the second discharge port 57b, and the third discharge port 57c enter the specific performance outlet 62c, and the game balls are detected by the specific performance switch 62d. Whether or not the 2R jackpot gaming state is controlled to the probable change state and whether or not the time-short state is controlled is a rendering means such as the image display device 42 (medium / high tone speaker 29, heavy bass speaker 14, image display). For example, by the device 42).

  In the case of the 2R big hit gaming state based on the fact that the two LEDs of the special symbol indicator 41 are lit and displayed in the low profit special mode (2R probability variation symbol) among the specific modes, the first discharge port 57a, Of the second discharge port 57b and the third discharge port 57c, the game ball enters the specific performance outlet 62c at a discharge port (in this example, the second discharge port 57b) where the game ball easily enters the specific performance port 62c. It is configured to distribute at a rate higher than the rate of allocation to the difficult discharge port (in this example, the third discharge port 57c), and the two LEDs of the special symbol display 41 are low profit non-special modes (in a specific mode) When the 2R big hit gaming state is based on the lighting display with 2R non-probable change symbol), the game ball of the first discharge port 57a, the second discharge port 57b, and the third discharge port 57c becomes the specific performance port 62c. Enter It distributes at a rate higher than the rate at which the game balls are likely to enter the specific performance outlet 62c (the third discharge port 57c in this example) to the pile discharge port (the second discharge port 57b in this example). You may comprise.

  With this configuration, when the 2R big hit gaming state is controlled to be in the probable change state, the control is performed so as to actively notify the gaming state after the 2R big hit gaming state ends, and the 2R big hit gaming state In the case of controlling to the short time state after the end, it is notified that the game state after the end of the 2R big hit gaming state is not actively notified so that it is not controlled to the probability change state after the end of the 2R big hit gaming state. In this case, it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from being reduced, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game when it is notified that the 2R big hit gaming state is controlled to the certainty state.

  Therefore, the back decoration member 50 configured as described above is arranged on the rear surface side of the game board 4. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is an exploded perspective view seen from the front side of the game board 4.

  In FIG. 15, the game board 4 of this embodiment is fitted into a synthetic resin game board set frame 4a that can be attached to the game board installation frame 9, and an opening 4d provided in the game board set frame 4a. And a transparent resin plate 4b that constitutes a part or all of the game area 12, and a game board decoration member 4c that is fixed to the front surface of the game board set frame 4a and decorates the outer periphery of the game area 12. Has been.

  The game board set frame 4a is formed of synthetic resin so that the outer peripheral shape thereof is substantially rectangular, and a deformed polygonal opening 4d is opened, leaving only the outer periphery. Inside the opening 4d, contact protrusions (not shown) that contact the back surface of the transparent resin plate 4b when a transparent resin plate 4b described in detail below is fitted are formed at appropriate intervals. . When the transparent resin plate 4b is fitted into the opening 4d while being in contact with the contact protrusion, the transparent resin plate 4b and the front side of the game board set frame 4a are flush with each other. Further, the game board set frame 4a is formed with an opening 4e at the center of the lower part thereof for guiding the game balls discharged from the out port 77 to the rear surface of the game board set frame 4a. Further, the game board set frame 4a is integrally formed with synthetic resin by mounting holes, bosses and the like for attaching the game board decoration member 4c attached to the front side of the game board set frame 4a and the rear decoration member 50 attached to the rear side. Is formed.

  By the way, the outer shape of the game board set frame 4a integrally formed of synthetic resin as described above is formed to be the same as the outer shape of a conventionally used plywood game board. Also, as shown in FIG. 16, the thickness dimension W1 in the front-rear direction is also formed to have the same thickness dimension (about 20 mm) as a conventional plywood game board. For this reason, in the case of the illustrated pachinko machine 1, replacement from the conventional plywood to the game board 4 according to the present embodiment, or vice versa, can be easily performed.

  The back surface decoration member 50 attached to the rear side (the side where the game area 12 is not formed) of the game board set frame 4a is equal to or the outer shape of the deformed polygonal opening 4d formed in the game board set frame 4a. The four corners of the back decoration member 50 are fixed to the back of the corners of the four corners of the game board set frame 4a with screws or the like and attached from the rear side of the game board set frame. As a result, the deformed polygonal opening 4d formed in the game board set frame 4a is closed. A main control board 101 for controlling the progress of the game is also attached to the rear side of the game board set frame 4a (the side where the game area 12 is not formed).

  The transparent resin plate 4b fitted to the game board set frame 4a is formed of a transparent synthetic resin having an outer peripheral shape along the inner shape in the opening 4d of the game board set frame 4a. Examples of the transparent synthetic resin include an acrylic resin material, a polycarbonate resin material, and a polyarylate resin material. These synthetic resins are known as being highly transparent and hard. Further, in the transparent resin plate 4b, an opening 4f is opened at a central portion corresponding to the front of the image display device 42, and the sharpness of the image displayed on the image display device 42 is improved.

  Further, an opening 4g for fitting the plate-like panel 70 is formed in the lower center of the transparent resin plate 4b. As described above, the variable winning ball device 71 having the upper starting port 72 and the lower starting port 73 and the general winning ports 13a to 13d are attached to the plate-like panel 70, and the game balls that have won the winning ports are as follows. The opening 4g leads to the rear surface of the plate-like panel 70 and the transparent resin plate 4b.

  In this example, the transparent resin plate 4b is formed of a transparent synthetic resin. However, the game board set frame 4a may be formed of a transparent synthetic resin, or the transparent resin plate 4b is formed of a transparent synthetic resin. The game board set frame 4a may be formed of conventional plywood.

  In addition, on the front surface (the side where the game area 12 is formed) of the transparent resin plate 4b, a regulating wall member 40 is provided standing upright and having a three-dimensional shape in the shape of a rock. The opening 4f opened in the transparent resin plate 4b substantially matches the outer peripheral shape of the regulating wall member 40. The regulation wall member 40 has a predetermined thickness (for example, 10 mm) from the surface of the transparent resin plate 4 b and is erected on the front surface of the transparent resin plate 4 b to partition the game area 12. In other words, the game ball flowing down the game area 12 collides with the restriction wall member 40 and changes its flow direction, and is prevented from entering the opening 4f.

  As described above, the central portion of the regulating wall member 40 includes the transparent panel 40a formed in a plate shape with a transparent synthetic resin. The transparent panel 40a is positioned in front of the opening 50a of the back decoration member 50, and makes it possible to visually recognize an image displayed on the image display device 42. In addition, an opening 40b is formed in the lower right portion of the regulating wall member 40, and the lower right decorative member 54 of the back decorative member 50 described above is configured to protrude.

  In addition, an upper right decorative member 40c that is three-dimensionally shaped like a hawk (having a predetermined thickness in the front-rear direction) is provided at the upper right portion of the regulating wall member 40. The upper right decorative member 40c is partly formed from a synthetic resin having translucency (a part of the hawk's eye), and an upper right decorative LED board 119h is disposed on the rear surface side of the upper right decorative member 40c. It is light-decorated by the mounted LED.

  Further, a plate-like panel 70 is attached to the front surface (the side where the game area 12 is formed) of the opening 4g of the transparent resin plate 4b, and the opening 4g is blocked so that the game ball does not enter the opening 4g. . In addition, a plurality of winning ports are formed by the upper starting port 72, the lower starting port 73, and the general winning ports 13a to 13c that are integrally attached to the plate-like panel 70. The transparent resin plate 4b has a large number of mounting holes for fixing a large number of obstacle nails, the regulating wall member 40, the plate-like panel 70, and the guide rail 11 on the surface thereof.

  Further, the rear surface side of the upper left / left middle winning opening 13a is connected to the opening 51b of the back region decoration body 51, and the game balls won in the upper left / left middle winning opening 13a are discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 1. The rear surface side of the lower left winning opening 13b is connected to the opening 51c of the back region decoration body 51, and the game balls won in the lower left winning opening 13b are discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 1. The rear face side of the right winning opening 13c is connected to the opening 51e of the back region decoration body 51, and the game balls won in the right winning opening 13c are discharged out of the pachinko machine 1.

  Further, the thickness dimension W2 of the transparent resin plate 4b in the front-rear direction is set to substantially half (specifically, 11 mm) of the thickness dimension W1 of the game board set frame 4a. In this case, when the transparent resin plate 4b is thin, as described above, a structure for attaching the obstruction nail and the regulating wall member 40 attached to the front surface of the transparent resin plate 4b with sufficient holding force is used. Although it is difficult to do so, there is a drawback in that the amount of protrusion of the game board 4 increases if the dimension W3 of the space formed on the rear surface side of the transparent resin plate 4b is taken sufficiently when the dimension is too thick. It is.

  That is, the thickness dimension W2 of the transparent resin plate 4b in the present embodiment can sufficiently secure the supporting force of various components attached to the surface of the transparent resin plate 4b, and the rear surface side of the transparent resin plate 4b. This is set in consideration of the fact that the dimension W3 of the space to be formed can be secured while suppressing the protruding amount of the rearmost end portion of the game board 4. Further, by forming the thickness dimension W2 in the front-rear direction of the transparent resin plate 4b to be thinner than the thickness dimension W1 in the front-rear direction of the game board set frame 4a, the thickness dimension W1 in the front-rear direction of the game board set frame 4a Compared to the case where the transparent resin plate 4b is formed with the same thickness in the front-rear direction, the overall weight of the game board 4 can be reduced.

  In addition, the thickness of the transparent resin plate 4b in the front-rear direction is smaller than that in the case where the transparent resin plate 4b is formed with the same thickness in the front-rear direction as the thickness dimension W1 of the game board set frame 4a. It is easy to visually recognize the back decoration member 50 arranged on the rear surface. Moreover, in the example mentioned above, it displays on the image display apparatus 42 by opening 4d in the center part of the transparent resin board 4b corresponding to the front of the image display apparatus 42 located in the rear surface side of the transparent resin board 4b. Although it is configured to improve the sharpness of the image, even if the central portion of the transparent resin plate 4b corresponding to the front of the image display device 42 is not penetrated, the game board set frame 4a Compared to the case where the transparent resin plate 4b is formed with the same thickness dimension in the front-rear direction as the thickness dimension W1 in the front-rear direction, the transparent resin plate 4b is disposed on the rear surface by a smaller thickness W2 in the front-rear direction. The sharpness of the image displayed on the image display device 42 can be increased.

  Although it is difficult to visually recognize the back decoration member 50 as compared with the case where the game board 4 is configured from the game board set frame 4a, the transparent resin plate 4b, and the game board decoration member 4c, the game board set You may use the game board 4 integrally formed with the frame 4a, the transparent resin board 4b, and the transparent synthetic resin.

  The game board decoration member 4c attached to the front side of the game board set frame 4a is formed of synthetic resin in substantially the same shape as the game board set frame 4a in order to decorate the outer peripheral portion of the game board set frame 4a. In addition, a circular opening 4h is formed in the game board decoration member 4c so as to surround the game area 12 constituted by the transparent resin plate 4b. A guide rail 11 is integrally attached along the opening. It has been. However, the inner rail is positioned in front of the transparent resin plate 4b when the game board decoration member 4c is attached to the game board set frame 4a. It is fixed to 4b.

  Furthermore, by attaching the game board decoration member 4c to the game board set frame 4a with screws or the like, a part of the game board decoration member 4c comes into contact with a part of the front side of the transparent resin plate 4b, and the transparent resin plate 4b. Is prevented from dropping forward from the opening 4d of the game board set frame 4a. More specifically, as described above, since the opening 4d formed in the game board set frame 4a has a deformed polygonal shape when viewed from the front, the opening edge shape of the opening 4d By forming the outer peripheral edge of the transparent resin plate 4b so as to coincide with the opening of the transparent resin plate 4b, the fitting of the transparent resin plate 4b with respect to the opening is uniquely determined. It is flush with the set frame 4a so as not to move in the rotational direction. In this state, when the game board decoration member 4c is fixed with screws or the like from the front of the game board set frame 4a, the back surface of at least the four corners of the game board decoration member 4c is in contact with the front surface of the transparent resin plate 4b. It becomes. For this reason, the transparent resin plate 4b is firmly fixed to the opening 4d of the game board set frame 4a.

  In this way, the transparent resin plate 4b can be easily disassembled when discarding the gaming machine by abutting and clamping the transparent resin plate 4b to the gaming board set frame 4a at the four corners of the gaming board decoration member 4c. Because it is easy to recycle, and has a structure in which the transparent resin plate 4b and the game board decoration member 4c are hardly contacted and clamped in the upper and lower and left and right areas, only in the four corners, the gaming area There is an advantage that 12 can be taken widely. Of course, in this case, the upper and lower regions and the left and right regions may not be contacted at all, but may be slightly held.

  Even if the opening 4d of the game board set frame 4a is not formed into a polygonal deformation, the mounting position is uniquely determined and rotated when the transparent resin plate 4b is fitted into the opening 4d of the game board set frame 4a. A structure having a positioning portion that does not operate (for example, the opening 4d of the game board set frame 4a is made circular, a positioning projection or a positioning hole is formed on the front surface of the abutting projection piece, and a positioning hole is formed on the back surface of the corresponding transparent resin plate 4b. Or a structure in which positioning protrusions are formed, or a structure in which a notch for positioning the transparent resin plate 4b and the game board set frame 4a and an engaging protrusion to be engaged therewith are formed.

  Thus, the transparent resin plate 4b having the regulation wall member 40 and the plate-like panel 70 attached to the front side is fitted into the opening 4d of the game board set frame 4a, and the game board decoration member 4c is moved from the front of the game board set frame 4a. The game board 4 is formed by attaching the back decoration member 50 to which the image display device 42 and the liquid crystal display board 120 are attached and the main control board 101 from the rear side of the game board set frame 4a. As shown in the figure, the image displayed on the back decoration member 50 and the image display device 42 located on the rear side of the transparent resin plate 4b from the front side of the game board 4 can be visually recognized.

  As described above, the back decoration member 50 is formed over the entire area including the game area 12 surrounded by the outer rail of the guide rail 11, in other words, the entire area visible from the opening window 30. (Refer to FIG. 6) and disposed on the rear surface side of the transparent resin plate 4b (refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16). By configuring in this way, a space with a three-dimensional effect can be formed in the front-rear direction by the back decoration member 50 on the rear surface side of the game area 12, so that a perspective can be expressed, so that the decoration effect of the game area 12 can be improved. it can.

  Furthermore, since the back decoration member 50 is also arranged behind the area where the game ball can roll in the game area 12, in the game area 12 where the regulation wall member 40 protruding from the surface of the game area 12 is not formed. Can express a sense of perspective and improve the decoration effect. Further, as described above, in this example, since a plurality of types of LEDs are incorporated in the back surface decoration member 50, it is possible to further improve the decoration effect.

  In the present embodiment, the back decoration member 50 formed by disposing the back region decoration body 51, the upper left decoration member 53, and the lower right decoration member 54 that are three-dimensionally formed on the box 55 is a transparent resin plate. Although what is arranged on the rear surface side of 4b is shown, the rear region decoration body 51, the upper left decoration member 53, and the lower right decoration member 54 are individually arranged on the rear surface side of the transparent resin plate 4b without being arranged on the box body 55. You may do. For example, you may make it attach so that the back surface area | region decoration body 51, the upper left decoration member 53, and the lower right decoration member 54 may each be arrange | positioned on the rear surface of the transparent resin board 4b. In this case, the back surface decorative body 51, the upper left decorative member 53, and the lower right decorative member 54 may be directly attached to the rear surface of the transparent resin plate 4b, or may be attached to the game board set frame 4a. Good.

  In addition, the restriction wall member 40 is erected on the surface of the game area 12 and a space with a three-dimensional effect in the front-rear direction is formed by the back decoration member 50 located on the rear side of the game area. Perspective can be expressed in a wide range from the front end portion of the regulating wall member 40 positioned (the portion farthest from the surface of the game area 12, also referred to as the surface) to the surface of the back decoration member 50 located behind the game area 12, The decoration effect can be improved.

  As described above, the game ball that has been launched by the launch control device 104 is released to the upper part of the game area 12 through the launch rail 15 and the guide rail 11, while colliding the game area 12 with the obstacle nail or the like. It flows down toward the out port 77. In such a gaming machine, by arranging a member or the like with a predetermined decoration in the gaming area 12, the gaming area 12 is partitioned and the decoration effect is improved. However, by arranging members or the like in the game area 12 to partition the game area 12, the area where the game ball can roll is narrowed and the degree of freedom of the game ball is reduced.

  In addition, in a normal gaming machine, the winning rate for the starting port etc. is changed by adjusting the obstacle nail, but by arranging a three-dimensionally formed member in the gaming area 12, the winning rate for the starting port etc. can be increased. It becomes difficult to change. That is, the number of members installed in the game area 12 and the installation area are limited. Therefore, in the conventional gaming machine, the decoration effect is improved by pasting a cell or the like on which the character or the like has been painted on the surface of the gaming area 12, but it is painted on a flat plate-like panel. The decorative effect could not be enhanced as compared with the case where members were arranged.

  This will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18. FIG. 17 is a front view of a game board 4 of a conventional general pachinko machine, and FIG. 18 is a perspective view seen from the front side of the game board 4 of a conventional general pachinko machine. Note that the game board 4 of the pachinko machine shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 is made of plywood, and the rear side of the game board 4 cannot be visually recognized. Moreover, in FIG. 17, the member arrange | positioned at the rear surface side of the game board 4 is not displayed for description.

  As shown in FIG. 17, in the conventional general pachinko machine 1, a three-dimensional shape is formed by arranging the regulating wall member 40 and the like in the game area 12, while in the area where the regulating wall member 40 is not arranged. In order to make the game ball flow down, it has to be constituted by a plane, and it is decorated by pasting a cell such as a character that has been painted. Further, members and the like disposed on the rear side of the game board 4 are visible only from the transparent panel 40a provided in the restriction wall member 40 and the openings 40b and 40g opened in the restriction wall member 40.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 18, the transparent panel 40 a provided on the regulation wall member 40 and the openings 40 b and 40 g opened on the regulation wall member 40 can be visually recognized from the member disposed on the rear surface side of the game board 4. In this state, it is integrated with the restriction wall member 40 provided on the front side of the game board 4 and is configured in a three-dimensional manner. In the region that is not surrounded by the regulating wall member 40, the surface is flat, so that there is little undulation in the entire game board 4 and the decoration effect is not enhanced.

  Thus, on the front side of the game board 4, it is necessary to secure an area for the game ball to flow down, and there are restrictions (size, position, etc.) on the arrangement of the three-dimensional members. For this reason, the decoration is performed by pasting a cell such as a character, which has been painted, but there is little undulation in the entire game board 4 and the decoration effect is not enhanced.

  Next, the pachinko machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 19 is a perspective view seen from the front side of the game board 4 in the present embodiment. In FIG. 19, in order to make it easier to visually recognize the back decoration member 50, the display of the obstacle nails implanted in the front surface of the game board 4 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the game board 4 of this embodiment is formed of a transparent synthetic resin, and a three-dimensional member is arranged over the entire game area 12. Then, the entire game area 12 is undulated. In addition, in the area where the game ball rolls in the game area 12, the three-dimensionally formed members are arranged on the rear side of the game board 4, so that the front side of the game board 4 is configured as a plane. Therefore, a three-dimensional member can be arranged over the entire game area 12 without narrowing the area where the game ball rolls, and the decoration effect can be improved.

  That is, the transparent resin plate 4b on which the game area 12 is formed is formed of a transparent synthetic resin, and is three-dimensionally formed on the front surface of the box 55 on the rear surface side (the side on which the game area 12 is not formed). The rear decoration member 50 to which the rear area decoration body 51, the upper left decoration member 53, and the lower right decoration member 54 are attached is disposed, and a space having a three-dimensional feeling in the front-rear direction by the rear decoration member 50 on the rear side of the game area 12 In order to express a sense of perspective by forming, the rear decoration member 50 can form three-dimensionally behind the area where the game ball can roll in the game area 12, and the decoration can be performed without narrowing the rollable area of the game ball. The effect can be improved.

  In addition, since the degree of freedom of the game ball is not lowered, the winning rate to the starting port or the like can be changed relatively easily by adjusting the obstacle nail as in the conventional game machine. In addition, since the perspective can be expressed in a wider range compared to the case where a film or a plate-shaped design is arranged on the front surface of the game area 12, the decoration effect is improved.

  In recent years, a plurality of gaming machines such as pachinko machines 1 equipped with a large image display device have appeared. In such a gaming machine, a restriction wall member is installed around the image display device so that the game ball does not flow down in front of the image display device, thereby making it easy to visually recognize the image displayed on the image display device. ing. By enlarging the image display device, the restriction wall member also becomes larger, and the area where the game ball can roll in the game area becomes narrower. However, according to the present invention, the member is installed in an area other than the area partitioned by the restriction wall member. Therefore, it is possible to improve the decoration effect without doing so, which is effective for a gaming machine equipped with a large image display device.

  Further, the transparent resin plate 4b on which the game area 12 is formed is formed of a transparent synthetic resin, and is three-dimensionally formed on the front surface of the box 55 on the rear surface side (the side on which the game area 12 is not formed). Since the rear decoration member 50 to which the rear area decoration body 51, the upper left decoration member 53, and the lower right decoration member 54 are attached is disposed, the rolling of the game ball is not obstructed, and the rear side of the guide rail 11 is not disturbed. Also, the back decoration member 50 can be arranged. Specifically, the above-described upper left decorative member 53 is arranged so that a part thereof is located behind the guide rail 11. Therefore, a sense of depth can be expressed not only in the game area 12 where the game ball flows down, but also in the entire area visible by the opening window 30, and the decoration effect is improved.

  In the above-described example, since the image display device 42 is provided on the back decoration member 50, a stereoscopic effect can be further produced by the image displayed on the image display device 42 and the back decoration member 50, and the decoration effect is improved. . In the above-described example, the image display device 42 is attached from the rear side of the box body 55 of the back decoration member 50. Therefore, the back area decoration body 51, the upper left decoration member 53, and the lower right decoration member disposed in the box body 55 are used. The decorative member 54 is disposed so as to protrude forward from the image display device 42. Therefore, a wide three-dimensional space is formed between the surface of the image display device 42 and the surfaces of these members, and a perspective from the front surface of these members to the front surface of the image display device 42 can be expressed. Can be improved.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the back surface decoration member 50 is arrange | positioned so that it may not contact | abut on the rear surface of the transparent resin board 4b. That is, the back decoration member 50 is disposed at a position away from the rear surface of the transparent resin plate 4b. In other words, since the back decoration member 50 is arranged at a position deep from the surface of the game area 12, the depth width is widened compared to the case where a film-like panel or the like designed in the game area 12 is arranged, and Since a sense of depth can be felt, the decorative effect is enhanced. In addition, since the back decoration member 50 is not brought into contact with the transparent resin plate 4b, even when the transparent resin plate 4b vibrates due to the game ball flowing down the game area 12, the vibration of the transparent resin plate 4b is caused to vibrate. It is also possible to prevent vibration noises from propagating to. In addition, you may arrange | position so that a part of back decoration member 50 may contact | abut to the rear surface of the transparent resin board 4b. In this case, the definition of the back surface decoration member 50 can be improved.

  In the present invention, the back decoration member 50 is provided with a three-dimensionally formed member. However, the back decoration member may be provided with a design of a film or a plate-like panel. Good. In this case, a background resin member may be provided so as to be in contact with a position deeper than the rolling surface of the game ball (the surface of the game area 12) (the rear surface side of the transparent resin plate 4b, the transparent resin plate 4b). In order to arrange the back decoration member in the background resin member so as not to come into contact with the transparent resin plate 4b), compared with the case where a film-like plate-like panel or the like having a design is arranged in the game area 12 Perspective can be expressed in a wide range, and the decoration effect is improved. In addition, the back decoration member 50 is configured to cover a part of the rear surface side of the game area 12, and a film or a plate-like panel is designed on the rear surface side of the game area 12 that is not covered by the back decoration member 50. You may make it stick.

  As mentioned above, according to this invention, the decoration effect of game machines, such as the pachinko machine 1, can be improved, without narrowing the area | region where the game ball in the game area 12 can roll. In addition, since the decoration effect can be enhanced without hindering the rolling of the game ball, the degree of freedom in designing the game machine is increased.
