On the other hand, the game board unit 1 is made of a synthetic resin, and as shown in FIG. 2, the back side is a foamed resin layer 12 made of a hard vinyl chloride low foamed resin, and the front side is a transparent resin made of an amorphous polyester resin. It is the layer 13 and the total thickness of both the layers 12 and 13 is set to be substantially the same as that of a normal game board. The amorphous polyester resin constituting the transparent resin layer 13 has a characteristic that it does not break even when the obstacle nails 5, 5... Or the windmills 6, 6, etc. are driven, and has properties similar to those of conventional veneer boards. Further, the thickness of the transparent resin layer 13 is set to be slightly larger than the driving depth of the obstacle nails 5, 5. Therefore, it is possible to make the game board unit 1 by a conventional method such as stamping the nailing portion with a punch and driving the obstacle nails 5, 5,. It is.
[0010]
The low-foamed resin constituting the foamed resin layer 12 can be molded with a mold and has good workability, and has a property similar to a veneer plate like the transparent resin layer 13. Accordingly, for example, a wiring groove 14 (see FIG. 2), a mounting base for other components (such as a winning ball collecting cover 21), or a winning ball guide rod is integrally formed on the back surface of the game board unit 1. Such complicated processing as described above is possible, and wood screws, nails and the like can be freely screwed or driven. The foamed resin layer 12 is formed with a horizontally-long rectangular window hole 12a that substantially crosses a gaming area 1a described later, and the liquid crystal gaming display panel 2 is fitted in the window hole 12a. The window hole 12a penetrates the foamed resin layer 12 to reach the transparent resin layer 13, and the game display panel 2 can be seen through from the front of the game board unit 1.

Since the winning ball collective cover 21 is covered on the back surface of the game board unit 1 and a path 22 for winning balls is provided, the passage 22 is formed when the game display panel 2 protrudes from the back surface of the game board unit 1. It becomes an obstacle. Therefore, it is more convenient to make the display panel 2 for gaming more reflective or edge-light type liquid crystal that does not require a backlight. However, since there are many functional restrictions such as difficult to display color with liquid crystal without backlight, there are cases where it is desired to use liquid crystal with backlight. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 2, a tapered portion 2a may be provided on the upper edge of the rear surface of the game display panel 2 so that the winning ball flows over the game display panel 2. Of course, the winning ball collective cover 21 also needs to be shaped to match the game display panel 2 to secure the winning ball passage 22. However, if the display size of the game display panel 2 is as small as that of the conventional variable display device 3, there is enough space on both sides of the winning ball collective cover 21 to secure the winning ball passage 22, so that it protrudes. The size of is not a problem.
[0012]
Thus, a substantially circular game area 1a is formed on the front surface of the game board unit 1 by the guide rail 15 in the same manner as the conventional game board, and the winning award 4 and a number of obstacle nails 5 are formed in the game area 1a. , 5... Or wind turbines 6, 6. A through hole 16 for guiding a pachinko ball is formed at the mounting position of the winning opening 4 so as to penetrate the transparent resin layer 13 and the foamed resin layer 12. The through holes 16 may be formed in a state where the transparent resin layer 13 and the foamed resin layer 12 are joined, or may be processed before joining the two, and then matched. In the latter case, the foamed resin layer 12 can process the through holes 16 at the time of mold molding. The same applies to the out ball port 17 and the prize ball discharge port 18 of the game board unit 1.
[0013]
In the pachinko machine P shown in FIG. 3, the obstacle nails 5, 5... And the windmills 6, 6... Are driven into the transparent resin layer 13 on the front surface of the game display panel 2, so It is the flow path R of the pachinko sphere. In FIG. 3, all winning holes 4 are provided around the outer periphery of the game display panel 2. However, as shown in FIG. 4 to be described later, the through holes 16 are provided in the gaming display panel 2, and the winning holes 4 are provided there. Can also be installed. In this way, the game display panel 2 can cover the entire game area 1a, and the game can be played on a magnificent scale. For example, in the case of a horse racing game in which a horse character is used for competition, if the horse character is moved along the guide rail 15 in the game area 1a, the power of the game is far greater than that of the conventional game. In addition, even in a slot machine type game in which a plurality of numbers and figures are combined, if the entire surface of the game area 1a is used, the display becomes large and easy to see and powerful.
[0014]
