  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the number of round games in one big hit game differs depending on the type of the big hit symbol that is stopped and displayed. That is, when the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the jackpot symbol 1 to 50 (when the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the jackpot symbol, there is a 50% probability), four round games are performed 4 If a round jackpot game is played and the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the jackpot symbol 51-90 (40% probability if the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the jackpot symbol), 6 rounds When a 6-round jackpot game where a game is played is performed and the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol 91-94 (when the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol, there is a 4% probability) When a 7 round big hit game is performed in which 7 round games are performed and the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol 95 to 100 (when the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol, 6 % Chance), 16 rounds will be played 6 round jackpot game is done. In addition, when the second special figure is stopped and displayed with the jackpot symbol 201 to 250 (when the second special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol, there is a probability of 50%), the four round big hit game is performed. If the special figure is stopped and displayed on the jackpot symbol 251 to 290 (the probability is 40% if the second special figure is stopped and displayed on the jackpot symbol), a 6-round jackpot game is played, and the second special symbol is a jackpot If the symbols 291 to 294 are stopped and displayed (if the second special symbol is stopped and displayed as a jackpot symbol, there is a 4% probability), a 7-round jackpot game is played, and the second special symbol is a jackpot symbol 295 to 300. If it is stopped and displayed (if the second special figure is stopped and displayed with a jackpot symbol, there is a 6% probability), a 16 round jackpot game is played.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, one round game ends when nine game balls enter (9 counts) or when 30 seconds have elapsed, so in most cases one round In the game, 117 game balls (9 counts × 13 payouts) are paid out. Therefore, naturally, a big hit game with a large number of round games is paid out to a player more than a big hit game with a small number of round games. Therefore, it is possible to make the player expect that a big hit game with a larger number of round games will be performed. In addition, this can be understood that a plurality of big hit games (specific games) having different degrees of advantage for the player can be executed.

  During the execution of the jackpot game described above, the type of the jackpot game being executed (the number of round games) is displayed on the round display section 55 of the segment display section 50. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, three LEDs are arranged on the round display unit 55, and in the round display unit 55, the left LED of the three LEDs is lit to turn on the four round big hit game. Indicates that the 6-round jackpot game is being executed by turning on the LED in the middle, and that the 7-round jackpot game is being executed by turning on the right LED. Illuminating all three LEDs indicates that a 16-round jackpot game is being executed.

<Reservation of special design>
When the game ball enters the first start port 24, as described above, the big hit determination and the change display for the first special figure are performed. Rather than immediately after entering the ball, the obtained determination random number is temporarily stored as the first special figure hold. When a predetermined condition is established, the big hit determination and the fluctuation display of the first special figure are performed based on the stored first special figure hold. Such first special figure hold is stored with an upper limit of four. The stored number of first special figure hold (first special figure hold number) is displayed on the first special figure hold display unit 53 of the segment display unit 50. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, two LEDs are arranged in the first special figure hold display section 53, and in the first special figure hold display section 53, one LED out of two LEDs Turns on to indicate that the number of the first special figure hold is 1, indicating that the number of the first special figure hold is 2 by turning on the two LEDs blinks one LED By doing this, it is shown that the number of the first special figure hold is 3, and by blinking two LEDs, the number of the first special figure hold is four.

  Further, when the game ball enters the second start opening 25, as described above, the big hit determination and the fluctuation display for the second special figure are performed. Rather than immediately after entering the mouth 25, the acquired determination random number is temporarily stored as a second special figure hold. When a predetermined condition is established, the big hit determination and the fluctuation display of the second special figure are performed based on the stored second special figure hold. Such second special figure hold is also stored with an upper limit of four. The stored number of second special figure hold (second special figure hold number) is displayed on the second special figure hold display unit 54 of the segment display unit 50. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, two LEDs are also arranged in the second special figure hold display section 54, and in the second special figure hold display section 54, one LED out of two LEDs Turns on to indicate that the number of second special figure hold is 1, indicating that the number of second special figure hold is 2 by turning on two LEDs, blinks one LED By doing this, it is shown that the number of second special figure reservation is three, and by blinking two LEDs, the number of second special figure reservation is four.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the first special figure hold and the second special figure hold are stored during the display of any special symbol change, during the final display of any special symbol, or during the big hit game. Even if it is done, the jackpot determination and the fluctuation display related to these holds are not performed. Further, when only the first special figure hold is stored in the first special figure hold and the second special figure hold, the jackpot determination relating to the first special figure hold stored first and the first special figure hold Although the variable display is performed, when the second special figure hold is stored, regardless of whether or not the first special figure hold is stored, the jackpot determination related to the second special figure hold stored first and The variable display of the second special figure is performed. That is, the second special figure is variably displayed in preference to the first special figure (having a so-called second special figure priority fluctuation function).

<Normal symbols change display, games per regular drawing>
As described above with reference to FIG. 2, the normal symbol operation gate 27 can pass a right-handed game ball. When the right-handed game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 27 and the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 27s, a predetermined determination random number (such as a determination random number per ordinary figure) is acquired, and based on the determination random number To determine whether it is per ordinary map or not. Then, based on the result of the normal symbol hit determination, the normal symbol is variably displayed and then stopped. As shown in FIG. 5, the segment display unit 50 is provided with a general symbol display unit 56 for displaying a normal symbol, and the general symbol display unit 56 is provided with two LEDs. The normal symbol is variably displayed by switching one of the two LEDs to be lit in the normal diagram display unit 56, and is stopped and displayed when a predetermined one of the two LEDs is lit. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as a normal symbol, two types of symbols, that is, a symbol per symbol in which the left LED is lit out of two LEDs and an off-normal symbol symbol in which the right LED is lit are stopped. It can be displayed. When the result of the per-common symbol judgment is per ordinary symbol, the normal symbol is stopped and displayed as a symbol per ordinary symbol, and when the result of per-general judgment is out of the normal symbol, the normal symbol is stopped and displayed as a non-standard symbol. Is done. In this way, when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed as a winning symbol or a missing symbol, a display (confirmation display) is performed to maintain the state in which the symbol is stopped and displayed until a predetermined time elapses in order to confirm the symbol that has been stopped. When the normal symbol is stopped and displayed as a symbol per symbol, a game per symbol that is closed after the second start port 25 is in the open state is performed.

<Normal design hold>
When the game ball passes through the normal symbol operating gate 27, the normal symbol per unit determination and the normal symbol variation display are performed. Rather than being performed, the acquired determination random number is temporarily stored as a general figure hold. When a predetermined condition is established, the base symbol determination and the normal symbol variation display are performed based on the stored general symbol hold. Such usual figure hold is also stored with an upper limit of four. The memorized number of ordinary drawings (the number of ordinary drawings retained) is displayed on the ordinary diagram holding display portion 57 of the segment display unit 50. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, two LEDs are arranged in the general-purpose hold display unit 57, and one of the two LEDs is turned on in this general-purpose hold display unit 57. Indicates that the number of pending orders is 1, indicating that the number of pending orders is 2 by turning on two LEDs, and that the number of pending orders is indicated by blinking one LED. It indicates that the number is three, and the number of reserved maps is four by blinking two LEDs. In addition, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the ordinary figure hold is stored, if it is not any of the normal symbol variation display, the normal symbol fixed display, or the game per regular symbol, it is the first. The stored per-map hold determination and the normal symbol variation display are performed.

<Game state>
Here, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the gaming state related to the probability of being determined to be a big hit in the big hit determination and the gaming state related to the frequency of entering the game ball into the second start opening 25 are set as appropriate. . Among these, the gaming state related to the probability of being determined to be a big hit in the big hit determination is “a low probability state with a low probability of being determined to be a big hit in the big hit determination (a probability of 1 / 99.9)” or “a big hit determination Is set to a high probability state (which is a probability of 11.9). The gaming state relating to the frequency of game balls entering the second start port 25 is “non-electric support state where the frequency of game balls entering the second start port 25 is low” or “to the second start port 25”. Is set to the “electric support state with a high frequency of entering game balls”. In the following, the number of symbol variation games (special symbol variation display) that can be executed with the high probability state set is also expressed as “high probability”, and can be executed with the electric support state set. The number of special symbol variation games (special symbol variation display) is also expressed as “electric support count”.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment, regardless of which jackpot game is played, after the jackpot game is finished, a high probability state and a power support state are set together, but the power support count is a jackpot game. It depends on the type of jackpot symbol that triggered the start of. In other words, the high-accuracy count is set to 6 times even if any jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, regarding the number of times of the electric support, when the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol 1 to 45 (when the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol, the probability is 45%). If the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol 46 to 50, 51 to 90, 91 to 94 (if the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol, 5% + 40% + 4 % = 49% probability) If the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol 95-100 (if the first special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol), the probability is 6%. Set at 100). In addition, when the second special figure is stopped and displayed with the jackpot symbols 201 to 245 (when the second special chart is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol, the probability is 45%), the second special figure is set. Is stopped and displayed on the jackpot symbols 246 to 250, 251 to 290, and 291 to 294 (if the second special chart is stopped and displayed on the jackpot symbol, the probability is 5% + 40% + 4% = 49%) When the second special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol 295 to 300 (when the second special figure is stopped and displayed with the big hit symbol, the probability is 6%).

  If the symbol variation game (special symbol variation display) is performed 6 times after the high probability count is set to 6, the high probability state ends and the electric support state remains set and the low probability state Is set. In addition, when the number of times of electric support is set to 25 times, 50 times, and 100 times, and the same number of symbol change games (special symbol change display) is performed, the electric support state ends. Non-power support status is set. For the player, since the electric support state is more advantageous than the non-electric support state, the player can be expected to set a larger number of electric support times.

  Here, the segment display unit 50 is provided with an electric support display unit 58 indicating that the electric support state described above is being set. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, three LEDs are arranged on the electric support display unit 58, and during the setting of the electric support state, the three LEDs are turned on to set the electric support state. Indicates that it is inside. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the segment display unit 50 is provided with a right-handed display unit 59 indicating that right-handing is performed. During the setting of the electric support state, the frequency of entering the game ball into the second start port 25 is high, and the second start port 25 can enter a right-handed game ball. It is beneficial for the player to make a right strike inside. In addition, since the game ball that has been hit to the right can also enter the big winning opening 28, it is beneficial for the player to make a right hit during the big hit game. Therefore, during the setting of the electric support state and during the big hit game, it indicates that the right-handed is performed by turning on the two LEDs arranged on the right-handed display unit 59.

<Display contents of effect display device 41>
The progress of the game as described above is mainly performed by the CPU 206 of the main control board 200. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, an effect of displaying various images on the effect display device 41 is performed in accordance with the progress of the game as described above. Such effects are mainly performed by the CPU 306 of the sub control board 220.

  For example, in the effect display device 41, various effects (hereinafter also referred to as “symbol fluctuation effects”) are performed in accordance with the variation display (symbol variation game) of the first special figure or the second special figure. That is, in the first special figure display unit 51 or the second special figure display unit 52, the effect display is performed in synchronization with the start timing of the variable display (design variable game) of the special symbol (first special figure or second special figure). Also in the device 41, the display of fluctuation of the three identification symbols 41a, 41b, 41c is started all at once, and thereafter, the fluctuation display is performed in various manners until the fluctuation time of the special symbol elapses. Then, the variation display of the three identification symbols 41a, 41b, 41c is terminated in synchronization with the end timing of the special symbol variation display (the special symbol stop display). In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to display a design in which nine numbers from “1” to “9” are designed as identification symbols.

  FIG. 6A conceptually shows how the three identification symbols 41a, 41b, and 41c are variably displayed. When a predetermined time elapses after the variable display is started, the left identification symbol 41a is first stopped and displayed in any one of “1” to “9”, and then the right identification symbol 41c is stopped and displayed. Finally, the middle identification symbol 41b is stopped and displayed. The combination of the three identification symbols 41a, 41b, and 41c that are stopped and displayed on the effect display device 41 is the special symbol (first display) that is stopped and displayed on the first special diagram display unit 51 or the second special diagram display unit 52 described above. The special figure or the second special figure). For example, when the first special figure or the second special figure is stopped and displayed with the jackpot symbol, the three identification symbols 41a, 41b, and 41c of the effect display device 41 are the same symbol combination (hereinafter referred to as “zolo eyes”). Stop). In addition, when the first special figure or the second special figure is stopped and displayed as “out of symbol”, the three identification symbols 41a, 41b, and 41c are not the same symbol combination (hereinafter also referred to as “separation”). Is stopped and displayed. The identification symbols 41a, 41b, and 41c that are stopped and displayed are in a stopped display (determined display) until the special symbol fixed display time elapses.

  As described above, the special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display unit 51 or the second special symbol display unit 52 and the three identification symbols 41a, 41b, and 41c displayed on the effect display device 41 have display contents. The three identification symbols 41a, 41b, and 41c are also stopped and displayed when the special symbols that are being displayed in a variable manner are stopped and displayed. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, the effect display device 41 is provided at a position that is more visible than the first special figure display unit 51 or the second special figure display unit 52 (segment display unit 50). Since the screen is large and the display content is easy to understand, it is normal for a player to play a game while looking at the screen of the effect display device 41. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6B, the left identification symbol 41a initially stopped and displayed on the display screen of the effect display device 41 and the right identification symbol 41c subsequently stopped and displayed are the same symbol. In this case, the middle identification symbol 41b that is stopped and displayed at the end also stops at the same symbol, and the player displays a variation display (design variation effect) of the identification symbol as “whether the big hit game is started”. You will be watching. In this manner, in a state where the two identification symbols (identification symbols excluding one identification symbol) are stopped at the same symbol (a mode that can be a doublet) and the last identification symbol (one identification symbol) is variably displayed. The performance to be performed is called “reach production”, and the play entertainment is enhanced by generating this reach production.

  Further, in the lower part of the display screen of the effect display device 41, a first hold display area 41d for indicating the first special figure hold number, and a second hold display area 41e for indicating the second special figure hold number, Is set. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first reserved figure number is displayed by displaying the same number of “held symbols (small circular symbols in the figure)” in the first reserved display area 41d. In addition, the same number of “holding symbols” as the number of the second special figure hold is displayed in the second hold display area 41e to indicate the second special figure hold number. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 6, it is shown that the number of first special figure reservations and the number of second special figure reservations are both four. Needless to say, the number of holds indicated by the hold symbol displayed on the display screen of the effect display device 41 and the first special figure hold display unit 53 and the second special figure hold display unit 54 of the segment display unit 50 It will match the number of holds shown.

C. Mounting mode of the back unit:
Next, the attachment aspect of the back unit 70 which is the main characteristic of the pachinko machine 1 of a present Example is demonstrated. As described above with reference to FIG. 3, the back unit 70 is attached to the rear surface side of the game board 20 so as to cover various substrates and various mechanisms.

  FIG. 7 is a rear perspective view showing a state where the back unit 70 is attached to the game board 20, and FIG. 8 is a front perspective view thereof. In FIGS. 7 and 8, illustrations of configurations (such as various boards and various mechanisms) other than the game board 20 and the back unit 70 are omitted. Also, the detailed shapes of the game board 20 and the back unit 70 that are not directly related to the present invention are not shown.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the back unit 70 is formed in a box shape with the front (game board 20 side) open. And the opposing surface which opposes the rear surface of a game board is provided in the right-and-left edge part of the opening part in the back unit 70, and fastening site | part 70A, 70B, 70C, 70D, 70E (70A-70E) is provided in the opposing surface. ) Is provided. On the other hand, the game board 20 is provided with fastening parts 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, and 20E (20A to 20E) at positions corresponding to the fastening parts 70A to 70E at the four corners thereof. Further, as will be described in detail later, screw holes H (fastening holes) are provided in each of the fastening parts 70A to 70E of the back unit 70 and the fastening parts 20A to 20E of the game board 20. By fastening a screw S (fastening member) to the screw hole H of the back unit 70 and the screw hole H of the game board 20 (the chain line in the figure), the back unit 70 is attached to the rear side of the game board 20. Yes.

  The screw holes H provided in the fastening portions 20A to 20E of the game board 20 (first game component) can be regarded as “first fastening holes”, and the back unit 70 (second game component) The screw holes H provided in the fastening portions 70A to 70E can be regarded as “second fastening holes”.

  Thereafter, the back unit 70 (fastening part 70A) is brought closer to the game board 20 (fastening part 20A), and the front end side of the back unit side insertion part 702 is connected to the game board side inserted part as shown in FIG. It inserts into 203 (inserted space 203a) (engages). Here, the outer diameter on the front end side of the back unit side insertion portion 702 is H1 (first range,) than the inner diameter of the opening portion of the gaming board side insertion portion 203 (the diameter of the opening portion of the insertion space 203a). The first length is formed small by, for example, 1.0 to 2.5 mm. Therefore, in a state where the front end side of the back unit side insertion portion 702 is inserted into the game board side insertion portion 203 (inserted space 203a), the game board side insertion portion 203 (covered) is inserted from the outer wall of the back unit side insertion portion 702. The length in the “displacement direction” to the inner wall of the insertion space 203a), that is, the gap formed between the outer wall of the back unit side insertion portion 702 and the inner wall of the game board side insertion portion 203 (insertion space 203a). The length in the “deviation direction” is H1 (for example, 1.0 to 2.5 mm) at the maximum. In this state, when the back unit 70 is moved up to H1 in the “shift direction” at the maximum, the outer wall of the back unit side insertion portion 702 comes into contact with the inner wall of the game board side insertion portion 203 (inserted space 203a). . That is, this state is a state in which the movement of the back unit 70 with respect to the game board 20 in the “shift direction” is limited to within H1.

  As described above, the back unit 70 (first game component) with respect to the game board 20 (first game component) is inserted by inserting the front end side of the back unit side insertion part 702 into the game board side insertion part 203 (inserted space 203a). The process of restricting (positioning) the movement of the second gaming component) in the “shift direction” to within H1 (first range) is the “first stage positioning” in the present embodiment. It can be understood as “one positioning step”.

  If the movement of the back unit 70 in the “displacement direction” is limited to within H1 by performing the “first stage positioning” in this way, the back unit 70 (fastening portion) is further maintained in this state. 70A) is brought closer to the game board 20 (fastening part 20A). And as shown in FIG.11 (b), the front side of the game board side insertion part 201,202, the 1st rib part 204, and the 2nd rib part 205 in the back unit side insertion part 701 (inserted space 701a). Is inserted (engaged). Here, as described above, the shape of the back unit side inserted portion 701 is the projection of the shape of the game board side inserting portions 201 and 202, the first rib portion 204, and the second rib portion 205 onto the back unit 70. It is a shape along the outline (outline) of the region (projection region) onto which the shape is projected. Therefore, in the state where the front side of the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202, the first rib portion 204, and the second rib portion 205 is inserted into the back unit side insertion portion 701 (insertion space 701a), The length in the “displacement direction” from the outer wall to the inner wall of the back unit side inserted portion 701 (inserted space 701a), that is, between these outer walls and the inner wall of the back unit side inserted portion 701 (inserted space 701a). The length of the gap formed in the “displacement direction” is H2 (second length, second range, for example, 0 to 0.2 mm) shorter than H1 at the maximum. In this state, when the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202, the first rib portion 204, and the second rib portion 205 are moved up to H2 in the “displacement direction”, these outer walls become the back unit side insertion portion 701 (covered portion). It will contact the inner wall of the insertion space 701a). That is, this state is a state in which the movement of the back unit 70 with respect to the game board 20 in the “deviation direction” is limited to within H2 shorter than H1.

  As described above, by inserting the front side of the game board side insertion portions 201, 202, the first rib portion 204, and the second rib portion 205 into the back unit side insertion portion 701 (insertion space 701a), Limit the movement of the back unit 70 (second gaming component) in the “shift direction” relative to the board 20 (first gaming component) to within H2 shorter than H1 (second range narrower than the first range). The step of (positioning) is “second stage positioning” in the present embodiment, and can be regarded as “second positioning step”.

  If the movement of the back unit 70 in the “shift direction” is limited to within H2 by performing the “second stage positioning” in this way, the back unit 70 (fastening portion) is further maintained in this state. 70A) is brought closer to the game board 20 (fastening part 20A). And as shown in FIG.11 (c), the front-end | tip part of the game board side insertion parts 201 and 202, the 1st rib part 204, and the 2nd rib part 205 is back unit side insertion part 701 (inserted space 701a). The screw holes H of the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202 and the screw holes H of the back unit side inserted portion 701 (inserted space 701a) are in contact with the surface (projection area) where the screw holes H are formed. When communicating, screws S are fastened to these screw holes H as shown in FIG.

  Although the fastening part 70A and the fastening part 20A have been described above, the fastening part 70B and the fastening part 20B, the fastening part 70C, and the fastening part 20C have the same configuration as the fastening part 70A and the fastening part 20A. Is omitted.

  Here, also in the prior art, when attaching the back unit to the game board, positioning is performed by inserting positioning bosses provided at the four corners of the back unit into the positioning holes provided at the four corners of the game board (the back side). Limit the movement of the unit in the “shift direction”). Then, the back unit is fixed to the game board by overlapping the screw holes provided in both the game board and the back unit and fastening the screws to the overlapping screw holes. However, in this prior art, when the difference between the diameter of the positioning hole and the diameter of the positioning boss is large, the range of movement of the back unit in the “displacement direction” is not sufficiently limited even if positioning is performed. Screw holes provided on the may not overlap. In this case, there is a problem that it is difficult to fasten the screw to the screw hole. On the other hand, if the difference between the positioning hole diameter and the positioning boss diameter is small, if the positioning boss can be inserted into the positioning hole, the range of movement of the back unit in the “displacement direction” can be sufficiently limited. In the first place, there is a problem that the positioning boss is inserted into the positioning hole, that is, the positioning operation itself becomes difficult.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment, when positioning the back unit 70, first, the front end side of the back unit side insertion portion 702 is used as the game board side insertion portion 203 (inserted space 203a). By inserting, the movement of the back unit 70 (game board side insertion parts 201, 202, first rib part 204, second rib part 205) in the “deviation direction” is limited to within H1, “the first stage Positioning ”is performed (see FIG. 11A). Then, in a state where the movement of the back unit 70 in the “shift direction” is limited to within H1, the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202, the first number are inserted into the back unit side insertion portion 701 (inserted space 701a). By inserting the leading end sides of the first rib portion 204 and the second rib portion 205, the “second stage positioning” is performed to limit the movement of the back unit 70 in the “displacement direction” within H2 shorter than H1. (Refer FIG.11 (b)).

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the positioning is not completed only by the “first stage positioning”, and as a result of the “first stage positioning”, the screw holes H (the game board 20) The screw hole H and the screw hole H) of the back unit 70 may be displaced from each other. For this reason, in the “first stage positioning”, it is not necessary to strictly limit the movement of the back unit 70 in the “shift direction” (there is no need to perform highly accurate positioning). Therefore, the “first stage positioning” can be easily performed, and the positioning operation can be easily started. For example, since the length H1 in the “deviation direction” from the outer wall of the back unit side insertion portion 702 to the inner wall of the game board side insertion portion 203 (inserted space 203a) may be long, the back unit side insertion portion 702 The difference between the outer diameter on the front end side and the inner diameter of the opening of the game board side inserted portion 203 (the diameter of the opening of the inserted space 203a) can be increased. As a result, in the “first stage positioning”, the front end side of the back unit side insertion portion 702 can be easily inserted into the game board side insertion portion 203 (insertion space 203a).

  On the other hand, in the “second stage positioning”, since the screw S is fastened thereafter, it is necessary to overlap the screw holes H (the screw holes H of the game board 20 and the screw holes H of the back unit 70). That is, in the “second stage positioning”, it is necessary to strictly limit the movement of the back unit 70 in the “displacement direction” (high-precision positioning needs to be performed). As described above, it is difficult to perform such high-accuracy positioning with the prior art. However, the “second stage positioning” of the present embodiment is the “first stage positioning” and the back unit 70 (game board side insertion parts 201 and 202, first rib part 204, second rib part 205). Since the movement in the “displacement direction” is limited within H1, the rear unit 70 (game board side insertion portions 201 and 202, first rib portion 204 is positioned in the “second stage positioning”). The second rib portion 205) is not greatly displaced in the “displacement direction”. For this reason, the game board side insertion parts 201 and 202, the first rib part 204, and the second rib part 205 can be easily inserted into the back unit side insertion part 701 (insertion space 701a). High-precision positioning (second stage positioning) can be performed. For example, the length H2 in the “displacement direction” from the outer wall of the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202, the first rib portion 204, and the second rib portion 205 to the inner wall of the back unit side insertion portion 701 (inserted space 701a). Even if high-accuracy positioning is performed by reducing the size, the back unit 70 (game board side insertion portions 201 and 202, the first rib portion 204, the second rib portion 205) moves in the “shift direction”. Is performed in a state limited to within H1, the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202, the first rib portion 204, and the second rib portion 205 can be easily inserted into the back unit side insertion portion 701 (insertion space 701a). Can be inserted.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the “first stage positioning” and the “second stage positioning” are performed, so that highly accurate positioning can be easily performed. As a result, it is possible to improve workability when attaching the back unit 70 to the game board 20.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, not only one game board side insertion part is inserted into the back unit side insertion part 701 (inserted space 701a), but two game board side insertion parts 201 are inserted. 202, the game board side inserted portion 203, the first rib portion 204, and the second rib portion 205 are inserted. Accordingly, positioning (second stage positioning) can be performed with higher accuracy.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment, the screw holes H of the game board 20 are provided in the game board side insertion portions 201, 201, and the game board side insertion portions 201, 201 are inserted into the screw holes H of the back unit 70. The rear unit side inserted portion 701 (inserted space 701a) is provided. In other words, a screw hole is provided at a site to be engaged when the “second stage positioning” is performed.

  Here, in the prior art, since the screw hole is provided at a position away from the part to be positioned (positioning hole, positioning boss), there is a manufacturing error in the game board or the back unit, or these are deformed. In other cases, the screw holes provided on both sides may not overlap even if positioning is performed.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 1, since the screw hole H is provided in the portion to be engaged when the “second-stage positioning” is performed as described above, the screw hole H from the portion related to the positioning is provided. Never leave. As a result, if the “second stage positioning” is performed, the screw holes H of the game board 20 and the screw holes H of the back unit 70 overlap with each other with high accuracy, and the screws S can be easily fastened to these screw holes H. . As a result, it is possible to improve workability when attaching the back unit 70 to the game board 20.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, a first rib portion 204 is provided between the two game board side insertion portions 201 and 202 to connect the lower game board side insertion portion 202 and the lower game board side insertion portion 202. Between the game board side insertion part 203, the 2nd rib part 205 which connects these is provided. For this reason, it is possible to resist the force in the “deviation direction” applied to the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202 and the game board side insertion portion 203, and to reinforce them. In particular, since the gap formed between the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202 and the back unit side insertion portion 701 is small, the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202 easily come into contact with the inner wall of the back unit side insertion portion 701. For this reason, there exists a possibility that the game board side insertion part 201,202 may receive the force of the shift | offset | difference direction beyond a predetermined magnitude | size, and may deform | transform. Moreover, since the game board side insertion parts 201 and 202 have screw holes H formed therein (because they are hollow), they tend to yield to the force in the “displacement direction”, and in this case, they may be deformed. is there. In this respect, since the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202 are reinforced as described above, these fears can be reduced.

  Furthermore, since the first rib portion 204 and the second rib portion 205 are provided even after the back unit 70 is attached to the game board 20, the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202 and the game board side insertion portion 203 are provided. It is possible to resist the force of the “deviation direction” applied to. For example, after the back unit 70 is attached to the game board 20, a force in the displacement direction is applied to the game board 20 or the back unit 70, or when only one of the two screws S described above is fastened. Even if it exists, possibility that the game board side insertion part 201,202 will deform | transform can be reduced.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the opening of the back unit side inserted portion 701 has a shape that can accept not only the game board side inserting portions 201 and 202 but also the first rib portion and the second rib portion. Since it has, the 1st rib part and the 2nd rib part can be enlarged. As a result, the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202 and the game board side insertion portion 203 can be further reinforced.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the “game board side insertion portions 201 and 202, the game board side insertion portion 203, and the first rib portion are inserted into the back unit side insertion portion 701 (inserted space 701a). 204, the second rib portion 205 "has a tip (end on the back unit 70 side) formed flat (flat), and the distance from the rear surface of the game board 20 to these tips is the same. It is. That is, the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202, the game board side inserted portion 203, the first rib portion 204, and the tip end portions (end portions on the back unit 70 side) of the second rib portion 205 are formed so-called flush. ing. For this reason, as a result of the “second stage positioning”, as shown in FIG. 11C, the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202, the game board side inserted portion 203, the first rib portion 204, the first rib portion 204, All the front end portions of the two rib portions 205 can be brought into contact with the front surface of the back unit 70. As a result, it is possible to resist the forward force (on the game board 20 side) applied to the back unit 70 (fastening part 70A), and it is possible to reinforce the back unit 70 (fastening part 70A). For example, when the screw S is fastened as shown in FIG. 11D, it is possible to suppress the back unit 70 (fastening portion 70A) from being distorted or damaged by the fastening force.

  Further, as described above, the game board side insertion portions 201 and 202, the game board side inserted portion 203, the first rib portion 204, and the tip end portions of the second rib portion 205 (here, collectively referred to as “game board side tip surface”) Is formed on the same plane, after the “first stage positioning” is performed, the front end portion of the back unit side inserted portion 701 (the end portion on the game board 20 side) is moved to “game”. The position where the “second stage positioning” is performed can be found by moving (sliding) the back unit 70 in the “displacement direction” while being in contact with the “board-side front end surface”. As a result, the “second stage positioning” can be performed smoothly.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the first rib portion 204 and the second rib portion 205 of the fastening portion 20A are formed along (in parallel with) the outer wall (side wall) surrounding the opening of the back unit 70.

  That is, the fastening part 20E and the fastening part 70E are not provided with a configuration corresponding to the “positioning of the first stage” in the fastening part 20A and the fastening part 20A. A configuration corresponding to the configuration related to “second stage positioning” is provided. Therefore, “positioning of the first stage” is not performed in the fastening part 20E and the fastening part 70E, and “positioning of the second stage” is performed in a state where “positioning of the first stage” is performed in the other fastening parts. Is done. Since this process is similar to the above-described process for attaching the fastening part 70A to the fastening part 20A, it will be briefly described below.

  When the “first stage positioning” is performed at the other fastening portion, the “second stage positioning” is set as “second stage positioning” in the back unit side inserted portion 721 (inserted space 721a). The distal ends of the insertion portions 221 and 222 and the rib portion 223 are inserted. By doing so, the movement of the back unit 70 with respect to the game board 20 in the “displacement direction” is limited to within H2 shorter than H1. The front side of the game board side insertion portions 221 and 222 and the rib portion 223 comes into contact with the surface (projection area) in which the screw holes H of the back unit side insertion portion 721 (inserted space 721a) are formed. When the screw holes H of the side insertion portions 221 and 222 communicate with the screw holes H of the back unit side inserted portion 721 (inserted space 721a), the screws S are fastened to these screw holes H.

  As described above, the part where the “second stage positioning” is performed (fastening part 20E and the fastening part 70E) is located away from the part where the “first stage positioning” is performed (other fastening parts). Even if it exists, "positioning of the 2nd step" can be performed and the above-mentioned effect concerning the "positioning of the 2nd step" (the same effect as the case where fastening part 20A and fastening part 20A are fastened) is produced. be able to.

  In addition, the back unit side insertion part 702,712 of a present Example can be considered as a "1st insertion part", and the game board side insertion part 203,212 can be considered as a "1st insertion part". it can. Further, the game board side insertion portions 201, 202, 211, 221, and 222 of the present embodiment can be regarded as “second insertion portions” and “first portions”, and the rear unit side insertion portions 701 and 711. , 721 can be regarded as “second inserted portion” and “second portion”. Further, the first rib portion 204, the second rib portion 205, the rib portion 213, and the rib portion 223 of the present embodiment can be regarded as “reinforcing portions”. Further, the back unit side insertion portions 702 and 712 and the game board side insertion portions 203 and 212 can be regarded as “first movement restriction means”, and the game board side insertion portions 201, 202, 211, 221, 222, The back unit side inserted portions 701, 711, 721 can be regarded as “second movement restriction means”.

D. Modified example:
Next, a modified example of the present invention will be described. In the present invention, the following fastening sites may be adopted as part or all of the fastening sites described above.

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory view showing the fastening part 20F of the game board 20 in a modified example and the fastening part 70F of the back unit 70 fastened to the fastening part 20F. Especially, Fig.14 (a) is a back perspective view of the fastening site | part of a modification, FIG.14 (b) is the front perspective view. In FIG. 14, the shape of the configuration other than the configuration related to positioning is simplified.

<Fastening part 20F of game board 20>
The fastening portion 20F of the game board 20 in the modified example is provided with a large-diameter inserted portion 231 (a large-diameter columnar space) in which the circular area on the rear surface of the game board 20 is pushed down one step forward. A small-diameter inserted portion 232 (small-diameter cylindrical space) in which a circular region (region having a smaller diameter than the above-described circular region) on the front surface of the large-diameter inserted portion 231 is further pushed down one step forward is provided. Is provided. In addition, a screw hole H is formed at the center position of the front surface of the small-diameter inserted portion 232 through the front wall (game board 20) having the front surface in the front-rear direction (attachment direction of the back unit 70).

<Fastening part 70F of back unit 70>
On the other hand, the fastening portion 70F of the back unit 70 in the modified example is provided with an insertion portion 731 protruding forward (to the game board 20 side) at a position corresponding to the small diameter inserted portion 232. As for the shape of the insertion portion 731, the shape of the small-diameter inserted portion 232 (small-diameter circle) is projected onto the back unit 70, and the region (projection region) on which this shape is projected protrudes forward (to the game board 20 side). It has a different shape. A screw head storage portion 732 is provided inside the insertion portion 731. The screw head storage portion 732 is a cylindrical space having a diameter larger than the diameter of the head of the screw S, and an opening is formed on the rear side. When the screw S is fastened to the screw hole H, the entire screw S (including the head) is inserted into the screw head storage portion 732 from the opening. Then, after the screw S is fastened to the screw hole H, the head of the screw S is stored in the screw head storage portion 732.

<Attachment of Fastening Part 70F to Fastening Part 20F>
Next, a process for attaching the “fastening portion 70F of the back unit 70” to the “fastening portion 20F of the game board 20” will be described. 15 and 16 are explanatory views for explaining this attachment process, and in particular, FIG. 15 (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the plane Y shown in FIG. 15 (a). Naturally, at the beginning of the process of attaching the back unit 70 to the game board 20, the back unit 70 (fastening part 70F) is separated from the game board 20 (fastening part 20F) as shown in FIG. 15 (b). Arranged.

  Thereafter, the back unit 70 (fastening part 70F) is brought close to the game board 20 (fastening part 20F), and the distal end side of the insertion part 731 is inserted into the large-diameter inserted part 231 as shown in FIG. (Engage). Here, the outer diameter on the distal end side of the insertion portion 731 is smaller than the inner diameter of the opening of the large-diameter insertion portion 231 by H1 (for example, 1.0 to 2.5 mm). Therefore, in a state where the distal end side of the insertion portion 731 is inserted into the large-diameter inserted portion 231, the length in the “shift direction” from the outer wall of the insertion portion 731 to the inner wall of the large-diameter inserted portion 231, that is, the insertion portion The length of the gap formed between the outer wall of 731 and the inner wall of the large-diameter inserted portion 231 is “H1” (for example, 1.0 to 2.5 mm) at the maximum. In this state, when the back unit 70 is moved by H1 in the “shift direction” at the maximum, the outer wall of the insertion portion 731 comes into contact with the inner wall of the large-diameter insertion portion 231. That is, this state is a state in which the movement of the back unit 70 with respect to the game board 20 in the “shift direction” is limited to within H1.

  As described above, by inserting the distal end side of the insertion portion 731 into the large-diameter inserted portion 231, the “displacement direction” of the back unit 70 (second game component) with respect to the game board 20 (first game component). The step of restricting the movement to within H1 (first range) is the “first stage positioning” in the modified example, and can be regarded as the “first positioning step”.

  If the movement in the “shift direction” of the back unit 70 is limited to within H1 by performing the “first stage positioning” in the modified example in this way, the back unit 70 is further maintained in this state. The (fastening part 70F) is brought closer to the game board 20 (fastening part 20F). And as shown in FIG.16 (b), the front end side of the insertion part 731 is inserted in the small diameter inserted part 232 (it engages). Here, as described above, as the shape of the insertion portion 731, the shape of the small-diameter inserted portion 232 (small-diameter circle) is projected onto the back unit 70, and the region (projection region) on which this shape is projected is the front (game). It is the shape projected to the board 20 side). Therefore, in a state where the distal end side of the insertion portion 731 is inserted into the small diameter inserted portion 232, the length in the “shift direction” from the outer wall of the insertion portion 731 to the inner wall of the small diameter inserted portion 232, that is, the insertion portion 731. The length of the gap formed between the outer wall and the inner wall of the small-diameter inserted portion 232 is “H2” (for example, 0 to 0.2 mm) shorter than H1 at the maximum. In this state, when the insertion portion 731 is moved by a maximum of H2 in the “displacement direction”, the outer wall of the insertion portion 731 comes into contact with the inner wall of the small-diameter insertion portion 232. That is, this state is a state in which the movement of the back unit 70 with respect to the game board 20 in the “deviation direction” is limited to within H2 shorter than H1.

  As described above, by inserting the distal end side of the insertion portion 731 into the small-diameter inserted portion 232, in the “displacement direction” of the back unit 70 (second game component) with respect to the game board 20 (first game component). The step of restricting (moving positioning) within H2 shorter than H1 (second range narrower than the first range) is “second stage positioning” in the modified example, and “second positioning” It can be understood as a “process”.

  If the movement of the back unit 70 in the “shift direction” is limited to within H2 by performing the “second stage positioning” in this way, the back unit 70 (fastening portion) is further maintained in this state. 70F) is brought closer to the game board 20 (fastening part 20F). Then, as shown in FIG. 16C, the distal end portion of the insertion portion 731 comes into contact with the surface on which the screw hole H of the small diameter inserted portion 232 is formed, and the screw hole H of the insertion portion 731 and the small diameter inserted portion. When the 232 screw holes H communicate with each other, as shown in FIG. 16D, the entire screw S is inserted into the screw head storage portion 732, and the screw S is fastened to these screw holes H.

  As described above, when positioning the back unit 70 in the modified example, first, by inserting the distal end side of the insertion portion 731 into the large-diameter inserted portion 231, the “shift” of the back unit 70 (insertion portion 731). “Positioning in the first stage” is performed to limit the movement in the “direction” to within H1 (see FIG. 16A). Then, in the state where the movement of the back unit 70 in the “shift direction” is limited to within H1, the distal end side of the insertion portion 731 is inserted into the small-diameter inserted portion 232, so that the “shift” The “second stage positioning” is performed to limit the movement in the “direction” to within H2 shorter than H1 (see FIG. 16B).

  In this way, even in the modified example, the positioning is not completed only by the “first stage positioning”. As a result of performing the “first stage positioning”, the screw holes H (behind the screw holes H of the game board 20 and the back) The screw holes H) of the unit 70 may be displaced from each other. For this reason, in the “first stage positioning”, it is not necessary to strictly limit the movement of the back unit 70 in the “shift direction” (there is no need to perform highly accurate positioning). Therefore, the “first stage positioning” can be easily performed, and the positioning operation can be easily started. For example, since the length H1 in the “deviation direction” from the outer wall of the insertion portion 731 to the inner wall of the large-diameter insertion portion 231 may be long, the outer diameter on the distal end side of the insertion portion 731 and the large-diameter insertion portion 231 The difference from the inner diameter of the opening (the diameter of the opening of the insertion space 203a) can be increased. As a result, it becomes easy to insert the distal end side of the insertion portion 731 into the large-diameter insertion portion 231 in the “first stage positioning”.

  On the other hand, in the “second stage positioning”, since the screw S is fastened thereafter, it is necessary to overlap the screw holes H (the screw holes H of the game board 20 and the screw holes H of the back unit 70). That is, in the “second stage positioning”, it is necessary to strictly limit the movement of the back unit 70 in the “displacement direction” (high-precision positioning needs to be performed). In this regard, the “second stage positioning” is performed in a state where the movement in the “displacement direction” of the back unit 70 (insertion portion 731) is limited to within H1 in the “first stage positioning”. In the “second stage positioning”, the back unit 70 (insertion portion 731) is not greatly displaced in the displacement direction. For this reason, the insertion part 731 can be easily inserted into the small-diameter inserted part 232, and as a result, highly accurate positioning (second stage positioning) can be easily performed. For example, the back unit 70 (insertion portion 731) can be achieved even if high-precision positioning is performed by reducing the length H <b> 2 in the “shift direction” from the outer wall of the insertion portion 731 to the inner wall of the small-diameter insertion portion 232. Therefore, the insertion portion 731 can be easily inserted into the small-diameter insertion portion 232.

  As described above, also in the modified example, since “first stage positioning” and “second stage positioning” are performed, it is possible to easily perform highly accurate positioning. As a result, it is possible to improve workability when attaching the back unit 70 to the game board 20.

  Further, in the modification, the screw hole H of the back unit 70 is provided in the insertion portion 731, and the screw hole H of the game board 20 is provided in the small diameter inserted portion 232 into which the insertion portion 731 is inserted. In other words, a screw hole is provided at a site to be engaged when the “second stage positioning” is performed. For this reason, the screw hole H does not leave from the portion where the “second stage positioning” is performed. As a result, if the “second stage positioning” is performed, the screw holes H of the game board 20 and the screw holes H of the back unit 70 overlap with each other with high accuracy, and the screws S can be easily fastened to these screw holes H. . As a result, it is possible to improve workability when attaching the back unit 70 to the game board 20.

  In the modified example, since the screw head storage portion 732 is provided inside the insertion portion 731, the length of the screw hole H in the front-rear direction (attachment direction of the back unit 70) can be shortened. As a result, the length of the screw S can be shortened, and the workability when attaching the back unit 70 to the game board 20 can be improved.

  Further, in the modified example, after the “first stage positioning” is performed, the back unit 70 is moved in the “displacement direction” while the distal end portion of the insertion portion 731 is brought into contact with the front surface of the large-diameter insertion portion 231. By moving (sliding), it is possible to find a position where the “second stage positioning” is performed. As a result, the “second stage positioning” can be performed smoothly.

  The modified large-diameter inserted portion 231 can be regarded as a “first inserted portion”, and the small-diameter inserted portion 232 can be regarded as a “second inserted portion”.
