制御装置７１が図外の電源スイッチのオン動作に伴う電力供給で起動し、球が球受皿部４に入っている状態において、遊技者が発射操作機構５を操作すると、発射払出制御装置６７が発射機構１１を発射操作機構５から出力された操作量に応じた発射力で例えば１分間に１から１００発未満までの所定数の間隔で駆動し、発射機構１１が球受皿部４と連接した球供給口３８から球発射レール１１ａに供給された球を１個ずつ遊技盤１０の内ガイドレール１４ａと外ガイドレール１４ｂとの間の発射通路１４ｃに向けて発射する。発射通路１４ｃに発射された球が、発射通路１４ｃから球戻り防止弁１４ｄを押し開けて遊技領域１３に到達した後に遊技領域１３を流下する過程において、複数の入賞部品のいずれかに入賞すると、それぞれの入賞に対応する賞球としての球が、払出機構６１から球受皿部４に払い出される（図１；２参照）。 When the control device 71 is activated by power supply accompanying the ON operation of the power switch (not shown) and the ball is in the ball receiving portion 4, when the player operates the firing operation mechanism 5, the firing / dispensing control device 67 is The firing mechanism 11 is driven at a predetermined number of intervals, for example, from 1 to less than 100 shots per minute, with a firing force corresponding to the operation amount output from the firing operation mechanism 5, and the firing mechanism 11 is connected to the ball tray 4. The balls supplied from the ball supply port 38 to the ball launch rail 11a are launched one by one toward the launch passage 14c between the inner guide rail 14a and the outer guide rail 14b of the game board 10. When a ball launched into the launch passage 14c wins a ball return prevention valve 14d from the launch passage 14c and reaches the game area 13 and then flows down the game area 13, it wins any of a plurality of winning components. A ball as a winning ball corresponding to each winning prize is paid out from the payout mechanism 61 to the ball tray 4 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

図８を参照し、制御装置７１による制御の流れを説明する。遊技領域１３に入った球が始動入賞部品１５に入賞すると、始動入賞球検出器２５が始動入賞信号を主制御装置６６に出力する。主制御装置６６における始動入賞検出手段１５０が始動入賞信号を検出することにより始動入賞を認識すると（ステップ１００１でＹＥＳ）、当たり外れ抽選手段１５１が当たり外れ抽選を行い、図柄駆動手段１５２が表示器２１を制御して図柄を変動させ、払出手段１５３が発射払出制御装置６７に払出指示信号を出力し、これにより発射払出制御装置６７が払出機構６１を払出駆動して所定数の球を球受皿部４に払い出す。当たり外れ抽選（ステップ１００２）は、当たり外れ抽選手段１５１が始動入賞検出手段１５０への始動入賞信号の入力タイミングで当たり外れ抽選カウンタ１５１ａの乱数値を取得し、取得した乱数値を当たり外れ知識１５１ｂに照合し、当たり外れ知識１５１ｂより乱数値に応じた当たり、外れ、確率変動、時間短縮および変動パターンなどの図柄合わせ遊技情報を抽出する。当たり外れ抽選手段１５１は、抽出した図柄合わせ遊技情報を当たり外れ抽選結果として抽選結果記憶部１５１ｃに記憶する。図柄変動開始から予め定められた図柄変動時間の経過するまでの間に判定手段１５４が抽選結果記憶部１５１ｃに記憶された当たり外れ抽選結果を判定して当たりであると判定した場合には、判定手段１５４が遊技設定手段１５５に当たりを示す信号を出力する。図柄制御装置６８が当たりの抽選結果の内容である図柄合わせ遊技情報に示される当たり図柄で表示器２１の図柄を停止させた後に、図柄停止完了信号を遊技設定手段１５５に送る。遊技設定手段１５５は図柄停止完了信号を入力して当たりを確定させ（ステップ１００３でＹＥＳ）、当たり遊技を実行する（ステップ１００４）。すなわち、開閉駆動源２６を制御し、可変入賞部品１７の開閉体２３を所定回数または所定時間開閉する当たり遊技と呼ばれる一連の遊技が行われる。そして、遊技領域１３に発射された球が開閉体２３の開放中に可変入賞部品１７に入賞すると、当該入賞した球を検出した可変入賞球検出器２７が主制御装置６６に可変入賞検出信号を出力し、主制御装置６６が払出指示信号を発射払出制御装置６７に出力し、発射払出制御装置６７が払出機構６１を制御する。これにより、払出機構６１が可変入賞に対応して決められた数の球を球受皿部４に払い出す。 The flow of control by the control device 71 will be described with reference to FIG. When the ball that has entered the game area 13 wins the start winning component 15, the start winning ball detector 25 outputs a start winning signal to the main controller 66. When the start winning detection means 150 in the main controller 66 recognizes the start winning signal by detecting the start winning signal (YES in step 1001), the winning lottery means 151 performs a winning lottery, and the symbol driving means 152 displays the display. 21 is controlled to change the design, and the payout means 153 outputs a payout instruction signal to the launch payout control device 67, whereby the launch payout control device 67 drives the payout mechanism 61 to pay out a predetermined number of balls. Pay to part 4. In the winning lottery (step 1002), the winning lottery means 151 acquires the random number value of the winning lottery counter 151a at the input timing of the start winning signal to the start winning detection means 150, and the acquired random number value is determined as the winning knowledge 151b. The game matching game 151 extracts symbol matching game information such as hit, miss, probability variation, time reduction and variation pattern according to the random number value from the miss knowledge 151b. The winning lottery means 151 stores the extracted symbol matching game information in the lottery result storage unit 151c as a winning lottery result. If the determination means 154 determines that the winning lottery result stored in the lottery result storage unit 151c is a win from the start of the symbol variation until the predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed, The means 154 outputs a signal indicating winning to the game setting means 155. After the symbol control device 68 stops the symbol on the display 21 with the winning symbol indicated by the symbol matching game information which is the content of the winning lottery result, a symbol stop completion signal is sent to the game setting means 155. The game setting means 155 inputs a symbol stop completion signal to determine the winning (YES in Step 1003), and executes the winning game (Step 1004). That is, a series of games called “hit games” are performed in which the open / close drive source 26 is controlled to open and close the open / close body 23 of the variable prize component 17 a predetermined number of times or for a predetermined time. When the ball launched into the game area 13 wins the variable winning component 17 while the opening / closing body 23 is opened, the variable winning ball detector 27 that detects the winning ball sends a variable winning detection signal to the main controller 66. The main controller 66 outputs a payout instruction signal to the launch / payout controller 67, and the fire / payout controller 67 controls the payout mechanism 61. Thereby, the payout mechanism 61 pays out the number of balls determined corresponding to the variable winning a prize to the ball tray 4.

当たり遊技では、可変入賞部品１７に入賞した球により特定の条件が満たされれば開閉体２３が閉じられた後に再び開くが、特定の条件が満たされなければ開閉体２３が閉じて当たり遊技を終了する。特定の条件とは、例えば、可変入賞部品１７の可変入賞球検出器２７のうちの図外の普通入賞球検出器に特定数（例えば１０個）の球が検出されるまでの間に可変入賞部品１７の可変入賞球検出器２７のうちの図外の特定入賞球検出器が球を検出したという条件や、所定の時間内に特定入賞球検出器が球を検出したという条件などである。即ち、球が可変入賞部品１７の図外の普通入賞口に特定数（例えば１０個）入賞するまでの間に特定入賞口への入賞があったという条件や、所定の時間内に特定入賞口への入賞があったという条件などの特定の条件を満たす度に開閉体２３は一旦閉じられる。この一旦閉じるまでの間をラウンドといい、上記特定の条件が成立すれば、ラウンドは所定回数までは継続する。従って、例えば最大ラウンド数が１６ラウンドであるとすれば、特定の条件が成立すれば、１６ラウンドまで継続し、１６ラウンドが終了すれば、当たり遊技が終了する。特定条件が成立しなければ条件が成立しなかったラウンドでラウンド継続が終了し、当たり遊技が終了する。なお、上述した特定の条件を設けずに、必ず最終ラウンド（例えば第１６ラウンド）までラウンドが継続するように制御しても良い。例えば、遊技設定手段１５５が、当たり遊技において、開閉体２３の開放中に可変入賞球検出器２７に特定数（例えば１０個）の球が検出されたこと（例えば１０回の可変入賞）を検出した場合は、１ラウンドを終了し、次ラウンドに移行するように制御し、開閉体２３の開放中に特定数（例えば１０個）の球が検出されない場合であっても、開閉体２３が開かれてから所定時間経過（例えば３０秒）すれば、１ラウンドを終了して、次ラウンドに移行するようにして、必ず最終ラウンドまで継続するように制御しても良い。 In the winning game, if a specific condition is satisfied by the ball that won the variable winning component 17, the opening / closing body 23 is closed and then reopened. However, if the specific condition is not satisfied, the opening / closing body 23 is closed to end the winning game. To do. The specific condition is, for example, a variable winning until a specific number (for example, ten) of balls are detected by a normal winning ball detector (not shown) of the variable winning ball detector 27 of the variable winning component 17. The condition is that a specific winning ball detector (not shown) of the variable winning ball detector 27 of the component 17 detects a ball, a condition that the specific winning ball detector detects a ball within a predetermined time, and the like. That is, a condition that a specific prize opening has been won before the ball has won a specific number (for example, 10) of the variable prize component 17 outside the figure, or a specific prize opening within a predetermined time. The opening / closing body 23 is once closed every time a specific condition such as a condition that a prize has been won is satisfied. This period until closing once is called a round, and if the specific condition is satisfied, the round is continued up to a predetermined number of times. Therefore, for example, if the maximum number of rounds is 16, rounds continue until the 16th round if a specific condition is satisfied, and the winning game ends when the 16th round ends. If the specific condition is not satisfied, the round continuation is ended in the round in which the condition is not satisfied, and the winning game is ended. In addition, you may control so that a round may be continued until the last round (for example, 16th round) without providing the specific conditions mentioned above. For example, the game setting means 155 detects that a specific number (for example, 10) of balls has been detected (for example, 10 variable prizes) in the variable winning ball detector 27 while the opening / closing body 23 is opened in the winning game. In such a case, control is performed so as to end one round and shift to the next round, and the opening / closing body 23 is opened even when a specific number of balls (for example, 10 balls) are not detected while the opening / closing body 23 is opened. If a predetermined time elapses (for example, 30 seconds) from the start, one round may be ended and the next round may be shifted, and control may be performed so as to always continue to the final round.

当たり遊技において、満タン検出手段１５６が満タン検出器７６からの満タン検出信号を検出した場合（ステップ１００５でＹＥＳ）、表示切替手段１５７が、当該当たり遊技において１回目（最初）の満タン検出か否かを判定する（ステップ１００６）。当該当たり遊技中の満タン検出の回数は主制御装置６６が図外のＲＡＭに履歴として記憶する。表示切替手段１５７が、ＲＡＭに記憶された満タン検出回数を判定して、当該当たり遊技になってから１回目の満タン検出であると判定した場合（ステップ１００６でＹＥＳ）、音制御装置６９に満タン解除操作を催促する音声表示の実行を指示する。これにより音制御装置６９が、例えば、「球を抜いてください」というような音声をスピーカより出力させ（ステップ１００７）、満タン解除操作を遊技者に促す。その後、満タン検出手段１５６は、満タン検出器７６からの満タン検出信号が満タン検出手段１５６に２秒のような所定時間だけ継続して出力されなければ（ステップ１００８でＹＥＳ）、満タンと判定せずに、音制御装置６９に音声表示停止命令を出力し、これにより、音制御装置６９が音声表示を停止する。上記所定時間は、満タンになっていない状態において、払出機構６１から球受皿部４に向けて払い出される球が満タン検出路７５内で満タン検出器７６を作動した場合を満タンと判定しないように定められた時間である。満タン検出手段１５６は、満タン検出器７６からの満タン検出信号が満タン検出手段１５６に上記所定時間以上継続して出力されていれば（ステップ１００８でＮＯ）、満タンと判定し、音声表示を持続する。ステップ１００８でＹＥＳであれば、当たり遊技が終了か否かを判定し、終了していなければステップ１００５に戻る。表示切替手段１５７が、ＲＡＭに記憶された満タン検出回数を判定して、当たり遊技において１回目の満タン検出でないと判定した場合（ステップ１００６でＮＯ）、すなわち、当たり遊技において２回目以上の満タン検出であると判定した場合には、灯制御装置７０に満タン解除操作を催促する灯表示の実行を指示する。これにより、灯制御装置７０が、灯表示器１００のＬＥＤ１１０を点灯させて（ステップ１０１０）、満タン解除操作を遊技者に促す。これにより、レンズ体１０２及びレンズ体１０２に取付けられた「球を抜いてください」という文字が明るく表示されるので、満タン解除操作を遊技者に効果的に促すことができる。その後、満タン検出手段１５６は、満タン検出器７６からの満タン検出信号が満タン検出手段１５６に上記所定時間だけ継続して出力されなければ（ステップ１０１１でＹＥＳ）、満タンと判定せずに、灯制御装置７０に灯表示停止命令を出力し、これにより、灯制御装置７０が灯表示を停止する。満タン検出手段１５６は、満タン検出器７６からの満タン検出信号が満タン検出手段１５６に上記所定時間以上継続して出力されていれば（ステップ１０１１でＮＯ）、満タンと判定し、灯表示を持続する。ステップ１０１１でＹＥＳであれば、当たり遊技が終了か否かを判定し、終了していなければステップ１００５に戻る。すなわち、当たり遊技になった後の満タン検出が当たり遊技になった後の最初（１回目）の検出の場合のみ満タン解除操作の催促を音声で表示し、当たり遊技になった後の満タン検出が当たり遊技になった後の２回目以降の検出の場合には、満タン解除操作の催促を灯表示器１００のＬＥＤ１１０の点灯で表示する。満タン解除操作の催促を灯表示器１００のＬＥＤ１１０の点滅で表示してもよい。 In a win game, when the full tank detection means 156 detects a full tank detection signal from the full tank detector 76 (YES in step 1005), the display switching means 157 is the first (first) full tank in the win game. It is determined whether or not it is detected (step 1006). The main controller 66 stores the number of times of full tank detection during the hit game as a history in a RAM (not shown). When the display switching means 157 determines the number of full tank detections stored in the RAM and determines that it is the first full tank detection after the winning game is reached (YES in step 1006), the sound control device 69 Is instructed to perform a voice display prompting for a full tank release operation. As a result, the sound control device 69 outputs a sound such as “please remove the ball” from the speaker (step 1007), and prompts the player to perform a full tank release operation. Thereafter, if the full tank detection signal from the full tank detector 76 is not continuously output to the full tank detection means 156 for a predetermined time such as 2 seconds (YES in step 1008), the full tank detection means 156 is full. The sound control device 69 outputs a sound display stop command to the sound control device 69 without determining that the sound has been pressed, and the sound control device 69 stops the sound display. In the state where the predetermined time has not become full, it is determined that the ball discharged from the payout mechanism 61 toward the ball tray 4 operates the full tank detector 76 in the full tank detection path 75 as full. It is a time determined not to. When the full tank detection signal from the full tank detector 76 is continuously output to the full tank detection means 156 for the predetermined time or longer (NO in step 1008), the full tank detection unit 156 determines that the full tank is full. Sustain voice display. If “YES” in the step 1008, it is determined whether or not the winning game is ended, and if not ended, the process returns to the step 1005. When the display switching means 157 determines the number of full tank detections stored in the RAM and determines that it is not the first full tank detection in the winning game (NO in step 1006), that is, the second or more times in the winning game. When it is determined that the full tank is detected, the lamp control device 70 is instructed to execute a lamp display for prompting a full tank release operation. As a result, the light control device 70 turns on the LED 110 of the light indicator 100 (step 1010) and prompts the player to perform a full tank release operation. As a result, the lens body 102 and the letters “please pull out the sphere” attached to the lens body 102 are displayed brightly, so that it is possible to effectively prompt the player to perform the full tank release operation. Thereafter, if the full tank detection signal from the full tank detector 76 is not continuously output to the full tank detection means 156 for the predetermined time (YES in step 1011), the full tank detection unit 156 determines that the full tank is full. Instead, a lamp display stop command is output to the lamp control device 70, whereby the lamp control device 70 stops the lamp display. When the full tank detection signal from the full tank detector 76 is continuously output to the full tank detection means 156 for the predetermined time or longer (NO in step 1011), the full tank detection unit 156 determines that the full tank is full. The lamp display is maintained. If “YES” in the step 1011, it is determined whether or not the winning game is ended, and if not ended, the process returns to the step 1005. In other words, only when the full tank detection after hitting a win game is the first (first time) detection after hitting a win game, a prompt for a full tank release operation is displayed by voice, In the case of the second and subsequent detections after the tongue detection becomes a winning game, a prompt for a full tank release operation is displayed by turning on the LED 110 of the lamp display 100. The prompt for the full tank release operation may be displayed by blinking the LED 110 of the light indicator 100.

本形態によれば、ＬＥＤ１１０を点灯あるいは点滅させることによる灯表示により、灯表示機１００のレンズ体１０２及びレンズ体１０２に取付けられた「球を抜いてください」という文字を明るく表示できるとともに、前述した特許文献１（特開２００２−１５９７２４号公報）のように電気的な画面制御の必要な液晶表示装置などの表示器を用いて文字を表示する場合に比べて、画面制御プログラムを不要とできるので、簡単な構成により効果的な満タン解除操作の催促表示を行えるようになる。前述した特許文献１には、遊技者に音声出力や文字表示で満タン解除操作を促す遊技機が開示されているが、この遊技機では、満タン回数（オーバーフロー受信回数）を所定期間毎にクリアしているので、所定期間の設定によっては（例えば１時間に設定した場合）、所定期間毎に、各所定期間内に満タン信号を１〜２回しか受けないような場合が生じえる。この場合、所定期間毎に遊技者に音声出力でのみ満タン解除操作を促すことになり、遊技者は長い時間の間、満タンになる毎に音声出力による催促を聞かされることになり、遊技者によっては音声催促をうるさく感じで不快感を持つ場合がある。本形態によれば、当たり遊技になった後の最初（１回目）の満タン検出の場合のみ満タン解除操作を音声で催促し、以後は灯表示で満タン解除操作を催促するので、音声催促が連続して遊技者に不快感を与えるようなことを少なくできる。また、特開２００４−９７２７９号公報に開示された遊技機では、制御装置が、満タン検出信号を受けた場合に、払出機構の払出駆動を停止するとともに、球受皿部の前面に設けられた球抜きスイッチ内の発光ダイオードを点灯して遊技者に満タン解除操作を促すものであるが、球皿の前面の球抜きスイッチが遊技機の前の椅子に腰掛けた遊技者のお腹の部分に位置するので、遊技者が顔を下に向けて発光ダイオードの点灯を確認しなければならず、遊技中の遊技者が発光ダイオードの点灯に気づかない場合が生じ得る。さらに特開２００４−９７２７９号公報に開示された遊技機では、点灯部が球取入口より離れた位置にあるので、球受皿部４に球が満タン状態となっている状況と表示器の点灯による催促表示とを一瞥して同時に確認することが困難であり、発光ダイオードの点灯が満タン解除操作を促す表示であると判断しにくいので、効果的な催促表示を行えない。本形態によれば、灯表示器１００は、球受皿部４の球取入口３７の周縁側を取り囲む位置に設置されるので、遊技者は視線を下に向けるだけで球受皿部４に球が満タン状態となっている状況と灯表示器１００の点灯や点滅による催促表示とを同時に確認でき、この同時確認により、満タン解除操作を行うべきことを判断しやすくなり、効果的な催促表示を行える。 According to this embodiment, the lamp display by turning on or blinking the LED 110 can brightly display the lens body 102 of the lamp display device 100 and the letter “please remove the sphere” attached to the lens body 102. As compared with the case of displaying characters using a display device such as a liquid crystal display device that requires electrical screen control as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-159724, a screen control program can be eliminated. Therefore, it is possible to display a prompt for an effective full tank release operation with a simple configuration. Patent Document 1 described above discloses a gaming machine that prompts a player to perform a full tank release operation by voice output or character display. However, in this gaming machine, the number of full tanks (the number of overflow receptions) is set for each predetermined period. Since it is cleared, depending on the setting of the predetermined period (for example, when it is set to one hour), there may occur a case where the full signal is received only once or twice within each predetermined period for each predetermined period. In this case, the player is prompted to release the full tank only by voice output every predetermined period, and the player is asked for voice output every time the tank is full for a long time. Some people may feel uncomfortable with annoying voice prompts. According to this embodiment, the full tank release operation is urged by voice only in the case of the first (first) full tank detection after hitting a game, and thereafter the full tank release operation is urged by a lamp display. It is possible to reduce a situation in which the prompting causes discomfort to the player continuously. In addition, in the gaming machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-97279, when the control device receives a full tank detection signal, the control device stops the payout driving of the payout mechanism and is provided on the front surface of the ball tray portion. The light emitting diode in the ball release switch is lit to prompt the player to release the full tank, but the ball release switch on the front of the ball tray is placed on the stomach of the player sitting on the chair in front of the gaming machine. Therefore, the player must confirm that the light emitting diode is turned on with his face facing down, and the player who is playing the game may not be aware of the light emitting diode. Furthermore, in the gaming machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-97279, since the lighting part is located away from the ball inlet, the situation where the ball is full in the ball receiving part 4 and the lighting of the display Since it is difficult to confirm at a glance the prompting display by, and it is difficult to determine that the lighting of the light emitting diode is a display prompting a full tank release operation, an effective prompting display cannot be performed. According to the present embodiment, the lamp indicator 100 is installed at a position surrounding the peripheral side of the ball intake 37 of the ball receiving portion 4, so that the player can turn the ball into the ball receiving portion 4 simply by turning his line of sight downward. It is possible to simultaneously check the situation where the tank is full and the reminder display by turning on or blinking the light indicator 100. This simultaneous confirmation makes it easier to determine whether the full tank release operation should be performed, and an effective reminder display. Can be done.

9 and FIG. 10, the lamp indicator 200 will be described in detail. The same parts as those of the lamp display in FIG. The lamp indicator 200 includes a lens body 201, a light source mounting substrate 202 housed in the lens body, and a character seal 116 attached to the lens body. The lens body 201 is formed by a front lens body 204 and a rear lens body 205. The front lens body 204 and the rear lens body 205 are formed in a portal shape like the lens body of the lamp display 100 described above. The front lens body 204 is formed with a recess 206 that is recessed from the back side to the front side, and the rear lens body 205 is formed with a recess 207 that is recessed from the front side to the back side. The concave part 207 of the rear lens body 205 is provided with a mounting post 208 extending from the bottom of the concave part to the front side. The light source mounting substrate 202 includes a substrate body 209 on which a large number of LEDs 110 are mounted, and an attachment portion 212 having an attachment hole 211 for attaching the substrate body 209 to an attachment column with a set screw 210. An engaging portion 215 including a pair of engaging concave portions 213 and engaging convex portions 214 is formed at the opening edges of the concave portions 206 and 207 of the front lens body 204 and the rear lens body 205, and the front lens body 204 and the rear lens body are formed. 205 is engaged and combined by the engaging portion 215 with the openings of the concave portions 206 and 207 facing each other. The rear lens body 205 includes a wiring through hole 216 at the bottom of the recess 207, and further includes a clamping portion 219 including a pair of attachment clamping pieces 217; 218 provided on the opening edge and the back surface of the recess 207. The lens body 201 can be fixedly attached to the lens housing hole 101 by sandwiching the front and back surfaces of the partition wall 36 at the hole edge of the lens housing hole 101 with the sandwiching portion 219. The bottom surface of the concave portion 206 of the front lens body 204 is subjected to a diffusion process for diffusing light, and a character seal 116 is attached to the front surface of the front lens body 204 or the bottom surface of the concave portion 206.

光源搭載基板２０２の取付部２１２を止ねじ２１０で後レンズ体２０５の凹部２０７内の取付支柱２０８に取付けることで光源搭載基板２０２を後レンズ体２０５の凹部２０７に取付ける。この際、光源搭載基板２０２のコネクタ１１９に接続した配線１２０を配線通孔２１６より外に引き出しておく。前レンズ体２０４の凹部２０６の開口と後レンズ体２０５の凹部２０７の開口とを向き合わせ、係合部２１５で係合させて組み合わせることでレンズ体２０１を形成する。前レンズ体２０４の前面に文字シール１１６を貼り付ける。前レンズ体２０４の凹部２０６の底面に予め文字シール１１６を貼り付けておいてもよい。球皿構造体３４の球取入口３７の前側からレンズ体２０１をレンズ収納孔１０１に嵌め込んで、レンズ収納孔１０１の孔縁における仕切壁３６の前裏面を挟持部２１９で挟み付けることでレンズ体２０１をレンズ収納孔１０１内に固定状態に取り付ける。配線１２０を図２に示すように前壁４４の左側の配線通孔１２１を経由して灯制御装置７０に接続する。よって、複数のＬＥＤ１１０に電源が供給されると、ＬＥＤ１１０の光が拡散して球取入口３７の周りのレンズ体２０１を透過して前側（遊技者側）に届くので、レンズ体２０１及び文字シール１１６の文字が明るく表示されることによる満タン解除操作を催促する表示を前側から目視できる。本形態の灯表示器２００を用いることで、仕切壁３６の取付支柱１１２を不要とできるので、仕切壁３６の形状を簡単にできる。また、灯表示器２００は光源搭載基板２０２をレンズ体２０１内に設けてこれらが一体化されたので、仕切壁３６に対する灯表示器２００の取付作業を容易と出来る。レンズ体２０１を球皿構造体３４の球取入口３７の裏側から嵌め込むような形態に形成しても良い。点検修理の際にはドライバーなどを溝２１５ａに差し込んで係合部２１５の係合を解くことで、前レンズ体２０４と後レンズ体２０５とを容易に分離できる。 The light source mounting substrate 202 is attached to the concave portion 207 of the rear lens body 205 by attaching the mounting portion 212 of the light source mounting substrate 202 to the mounting column 208 in the concave portion 207 of the rear lens body 205 with the set screw 210. At this time, the wiring 120 connected to the connector 119 of the light source mounting substrate 202 is drawn out from the wiring through hole 216. The opening of the concave portion 206 of the front lens body 204 and the opening of the concave portion 207 of the rear lens body 205 face each other and are engaged and combined by the engaging portion 215 to form the lens body 201. A character sticker 116 is attached to the front surface of the front lens body 204. The character seal 116 may be pasted on the bottom surface of the concave portion 206 of the front lens body 204 in advance. The lens body 201 is fitted into the lens housing hole 101 from the front side of the ball inlet 37 of the ball tray structure 34, and the front and back surfaces of the partition wall 36 at the hole edge of the lens housing hole 101 are clamped by the clamping unit 219. The body 201 is fixed in the lens housing hole 101. As shown in FIG. 2, the wiring 120 is connected to the lamp control device 70 via the wiring hole 121 on the left side of the front wall 44. Therefore, when power is supplied to the plurality of LEDs 110, the light from the LEDs 110 diffuses and passes through the lens body 201 around the ball inlet 37 and reaches the front side (player side). A display prompting a full tank release operation by displaying 116 characters brightly can be seen from the front side. By using the lamp indicator 200 of this embodiment, the mounting column 112 of the partition wall 36 can be omitted, and the shape of the partition wall 36 can be simplified. Further, since the lamp display 200 is provided with the light source mounting substrate 202 in the lens body 201 and integrated, the mounting operation of the lamp display 200 to the partition wall 36 can be facilitated. The lens body 201 may be formed so as to be fitted from the back side of the ball inlet 37 of the ball tray structure 34. At the time of inspection and repair, the front lens body 204 and the rear lens body 205 can be easily separated by inserting a screwdriver or the like into the groove 215a and releasing the engagement portion 215.

The lamp indicator 200 may be installed inside the ball inlet 37 by sandwiching the front and back surfaces of the side partition wall 36. In other words, the lamp indicator 200 may be provided along the inner surface 301 of the hole edge 300 on the left and right and upper portions of the ball intake 37 of the ball receiving portion 4. In this case, since the lens housing hole 101 and the mounting column 112 of the partition wall 36 can be omitted, the shape of the partition wall 36 can be simplified. Further, the unity between the ball inlet 37 and the lamp indicator 200 can be improved, and an effective prompting display can be performed.
