As shown in FIG. 1, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is a pachinko gaming machine, the front side of which is covered with a front frame 10Z, and a gaming board 11 of a gaming board 11 through a glass window 10W formed in the front frame 10Z. The game area R1 is visible. In the following description, “right” and “left” refer to “right” and “left” when the gaming machine 10 is viewed from the front unless otherwise specified.

Below the glass window 10W in the front frame 10Z, an upper plate 27A and a lower plate 27B are provided in two upper and lower stages, and an operation handle 28 is provided on the right side of the lower plate 27B. When the operation handle 28 is rotated, the game ball housed in the upper plate 27A is ejected toward the game area R1. As shown in FIG. 2, the game area R1 is provided with start winning openings 14A and 14B and a special winning opening 30. Then, when the game balls are won in the starting winning openings 14A and 14B, the winning/non-winning judgment is made, and if the result of the judgment is a hit, the "big hit game" in which the big winning opening 30 is in the open state is executed, and it is out. For example, the special winning opening 30 remains closed.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 11 has a substantially square shape as a whole, and both upper corners thereof are obliquely cut. The first and second guide rails 12A and 12B protruding from the front surface of the game board 11 and the partition rail 16 serve as an "enclosing wall" according to the present invention and surround the game area R1. Specifically, the first and second guide rails 12A and 12B have a strip plate shape, and are attached to the front surface of the game board 11 in a state where the width direction of the guide rails 12A and 12B is oriented in the front-rear direction of the game board 11. .. In addition, the first guide rail 12A extends in an arc shape that connects a position closer to the left end of the lower side of the outer edge of the game board 11, a left side, an upper side, and a position closer to the right side near the upper right corner. .. In addition, the second guide rail 12B is displaced from the position above the center of the lower side of the outer edge of the game plate 11 upwards by one game ball inward of the first guide rail 12A in the vicinity of the upper left corner of the game plate 11. It extends to the position in an arc shape along the first guide rail 12A. The entrance 19 of the present invention is provided between the upper end of the second guide rail 12B and the first guide rail 12A. (Because the first guide rail 12A is outside the second guide rail 12B, it serves as an outer rail, and the rail including the second guide rail 12B serves as an inner rail.)

Further, the partition rail 16 extends along the lower side and the right side of the outer edge portion of the game board 11, and the tip of the portion along the lower side is located near the starting end portion of the second guide rail 12B, while being along the right side. The upper side of the open portion is located near the end of the first guide rail 12A.

Further, a central opening 11A (see FIG. 4) is formed through the center of the game area R1 of the game board 11, and a display decoration frame 23 is attached to the central opening 11A. In detail, the display decoration frame 23 has a receiving portion 23K that is received inside the central opening 11A, and an overhang that has a front surface that extends laterally from the receiving portion 23K and extends slightly forward of the front surface of the game board 11. A portion 23F is provided and is fitted into the central opening 11A of the game board 11 from the front. The area surrounded by the inner edge of the display decoration frame 23 corresponds to the display window 23A of the present invention. The front side of the overhanging portion 23F is configured so that the game balls can flow down. Further, the display decoration frame 23 is fixed by being screwed with a part of the overhanging portion 23F being overlapped with the front surface of the game board 11.

Behind the game board 11, a display device 13 (corresponding to the "production device" of the present invention) having a display screen 13G is attached. The display screen 13G of the display device 13 faces the front through the display window 23A. On the display screen 13G, the result of the above-mentioned win/fail judgment is displayed. The effect device is not limited to the display device 13 and may be any device that is involved in the effect such as a driving object.

As shown in FIG. 2, a window decoration member 80 extending in the left-right direction is provided inside the display window 23A. This window decoration member 80 is always arranged at the upper end position (corresponding to the “first position” of the present invention) shown in FIG. 2, and depending on the game situation such as the above-mentioned big hit game being started, It drops to the lower end position (corresponding to the “second position” of the present invention) shown in FIG. 3 to heap up the game. In other words, the window decoration 80 is configured to be movable between the upper end position and the lower end position (including the case where it may be stopped midway between the upper end position and the lower end position).

The upper part and both side parts of the display decoration frame 23 above the display screen 13G are the flow-down restriction projections 24 protruding to the position adjacent to the glass plate of the glass window 10W, and restrict the flow-down direction of the game ball. doing.

The upper flow restriction part 24A above the display screen 13G in the flow restriction protrusion 24 has a shape that swells upward, and the game ball hit in the game area R1 is moved to the left flow area Ra of the game area R1 and the right side. Allocate to the flow-down area Rb. The left-side flow-down area Ra is formed in a left-side area of the flow-down restriction protrusion 24 that includes the left-side flow-down restriction section 24L on the left side of the display screen 13G and the second guide rail 12B, and the right-side flow-down area Rb is It is formed in an area on the right side of the flow-down restriction protrusion 24 that includes a space between the right-side flow-down restriction portion 24R on the right side of the display screen 13G and the partition rail 16. The game ball is divided into a left-side flow-down area Ra and a right-side flow-down area Rb according to the game situation.

The central portion in the left-right direction of the upper surface of the upper flow-down restricting portion 24A is a top portion 24T that faces the first guide rail 12A with the width of one game ball. In addition, the left side portion of the upper surface of the upper flow-down restricting portion 24A is an upper left inclined portion 24B that is inclined downward to the left from the left end portion of the top portion 24T. Then, the game ball launched with a relatively low launch strength abuts on the upper left inclined portion 24B or the obstacle nail and heads for the leftward flow area Ra.

Further, on the upper edge side of the game area R1, a right hitting introduction passage Rc extending along the upper right edge of the first guide rail 12A is provided. The game ball launched with a relatively high launch strength passes through the right hitting introduction passage Rc and is guided to the right side flow area Rb. The right-hand introduction passage Rc will be described in detail later.

As shown in FIG. 2, a vertical surface 16D is provided on the upper end side of the partition rail 16 and adjacent to the lower end of the first guide rail 12A. Further, the vertical surface 16D is provided with an end cushioning member 16K which is an elastic member (made of an elastomer) with which the game ball that has passed through the right hit introduction passage Rc collides. Between the end cushioning member 16K and the right end of the upper flow restricting portion 24A, an upper right barrier 24Y through which game balls can pass one by one is formed. The upper right barrier 24Y is located on the upper end side of the rightward flow area Rb.

A part of the right-side flow area Rb adjacent to the upper right part 24Y from below is provided with a side approach path 60 which is wide enough to pass one game ball and is covered from the front by a cover piece 61. The side approach path 60 receives the game ball that has passed through the upper right barrier 24Y, bends it to the left by one game ball, then moves it downward by two to three game balls, and then slightly to the right. Bend and discharge downstream. In addition, a protrusion (not shown) protruding rearward is formed in the center of the cover piece 61 in the up-down direction, and a portion of the side entry path 60 that extends in the up-down direction by two to three game balls, It is bent in a U shape toward the rear. The window decoration member 80 is disposed below the right-hand introduction passage Rc (below the top).

Next, the right-hand introduction passage Rc will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 5, the right-hand introduction passage Rc has a width that allows one game ball to pass from the left end portion of the top portion 24T of the upper flow-down regulation portion 24A to the right end portion of the upper flow-down regulation portion 24A. It is extended. The amount of protrusion of these passages and the window decoration member 80 to the front is configured to be substantially the same.

The right hitting introduction passage Rc has a deceleration bending portion 42 at the left end. Specifically, the right hitting introduction passage Rc extends downward from the upper passage 45 on the apex 24T of the upper flow restricting portion 24A and downward from the upper passage 45 to the right of the upper passage 45 by one game ball. There is a side passage 46 and an intermediate passage 43 that connects the upper passage 45 and the lower passage 46. The upper passage 45, the lower passage 46, and the intermediate passage 43 constitute the deceleration bending portion 42. Has been done. The combination of the upper passage 45 and the lower passage 46 corresponds to the "upstream passage" of the present invention.

Further, on the left side portion of the intermediate passage 43 on the outer side surface of the upper side flow restricting portion 24A, there is a backflow restricting portion 24C slightly extending downward substantially orthogonally from the right end of the top portion 24T, and a lower end of the backflow restricting portion 24C. It is provided with an inclining portion 24D that inclines toward the right side as it goes downward from the section and extends by one game ball in the vertical and horizontal directions.

A front and rear step portion 23D formed by the game board 11 and the projecting portion 23F of the display decoration frame 23 is provided at an intermediate portion in the vertical direction of the intermediate passage 43. The front-rear stepped portion 23D is inclined so as to face the front side as it goes downward.

Further, the deceleration bending portion 42 is adjacent to the first guide rail 12A from below, between the lower passage 46 and the first guide rail 12A and on the extension line of the upper passage 45, and from the entrance 19 to the first guide. A cushioning member 41 with which the game balls that have advanced along the rails 12A collide is provided. The vicinity of the left end surface of the cushioning member 41 corresponds to the "collision portion" of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 7, the cushioning member 41 has a block shape made of an elastomer, and a collision surface 41M (left end surface) of the block shape on which a game ball collides is in an extension direction of the upper passage 45 as it goes downward. It has a sloping portion 41K having a first sloping K1 sloping toward the front and a second sloping K2 sloping toward the front in the extension direction of the upper passage 45 toward the gaming board 11 side. .. As a result, the game ball that has collided with the collision surface 41M is guided to the lower passage 46 side by the first inclination of the inclined portion 41K, and is guided to the game board 11 side by the second inclination so that the game ball is in front. It is suppressed that the glass window 10W is popped out and damaged. Further, the buffer member 41 is narrowed such that the dimension of the block-shaped upper passage 45 in the extension direction gradually decreases from the front end portion toward the game board 11 side.

The buffer member 41 is fixed between the front surface of the game board 11 and the front surface support member 26 that is integrally formed with the display decoration frame 23 and faces the front surface of the game board 11. In detail, the cushioning member 41 has a pair of support holes 41A, 41A penetrating in the front-rear direction and formed side by side. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, on the front surface support member 26, a pair of support shafts 26S, 26S protruding rearward and extending to an intermediate position between the front surface of the game board 11 and the front surface support member 26 are formed side by side. Has been done. The cushioning member 41 is fixed by inserting the support shafts 26S, 26S of the front surface supporting member 26 into the support holes 41A, 41A of the cushioning member 41 to the intermediate positions. A hollow portion 41H is formed in a portion of the support hole 41A of the buffer member 41 on the game board 11 side. As a result, when the game ball collides with the buffer member 41, the game plate 11 side is more likely to be elastically deformed than the front support portion 26 side of the buffer member 41, and the game ball is easily guided to the game plate 11 side. Can be further prevented from popping out to the front and damaging the glass window 10W. Furthermore, a gap 41S is also provided between the buffer member 41 and the game board 11. As a result, when the cushioning member 41 is elastically deformed due to the impact of the game ball, it is possible to suppress the friction due to the contact between the rear surface 41B of the cushioning member 41 and the game plate 11, and it is possible to perform smooth elastic deformation and elastic recovery. Become.

As described above, the window decoration member 80 is arranged inside the display window 23A (see FIG. 5). Here, in the conventional gaming machine, if the window decoration member 80 is extended to the outside of the display window 23A, the passage of the game ball is blocked, so the window decoration is required to secure the passage. There is a problem that the degree of freedom in the size and arrangement of the window decoration member 80 is reduced, such as making the member 80 smaller and changing the position. In order to solve this problem, the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is provided with a bent passage 50R bent in the front-rear direction in the right-handed introduction passage Rc. The bent passage 50R will be described in detail below.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the right-hand portion of the deceleration bend 42 in the right-handed introduction passage Rc, a gutter structure having a passage front cover 55 is formed, and a bullet passage gutter 47 through which a game ball passes is provided inside. It's The passage front cover 55 is made of transparent resin so that the game balls passing through the bullet passing trough 47 can be visually recognized. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the passage front cover 55 is separately formed and is configured to be retrofittable to the decorative frame main body 23H.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the upper right corner of the central opening 11A of the game board 11, a gutter accommodating portion 11K is formed by expanding the central opening 11A to the outside. Then, the gutter bent portion 50 is formed by bending the bullet passage trough 47 rearward so as to be housed in the trough housing portion 11K (see FIG. 9), and the inside of the gutter bent portion 50 serves as the bent passage 50R. ing. That is, by providing the gutter accommodating portion 11K, the gutter bent portion 50 can be bent and arranged on the game board 11 side.

As shown in FIG. 9, an inlet portion 50D and an outlet portion 50E are provided at the upstream end portion and the downstream end portion of the gutter bent portion 50. The rear inner side surfaces of the introduction section 50D and the extraction section 50E are formed by the same surface as the front surface of the overhanging section 23F. That is, the entrance and exit of the game ball in the gutter bent portion 50 is arranged in front of the front surface of the game board 11. In addition, at the upstream end and the downstream end of the passage front cover 55, an inclined portion 55K is formed for allowing the game ball to smoothly enter and exit the bent passage 50R.

An interference avoiding portion 50A of the present invention is formed between the inlet portion 50D and the outlet portion 50E of the gutter bent portion 50. The interference avoiding portion 50A is disposed inside the gutter accommodating portion 11K (see FIG. 11) and extends substantially parallel to the game board 11 or slightly protruding from the back surface of the game board 11. Further, the interference avoiding cover portion 55A of the passage front cover 55 that covers the interference avoiding portion 50A from the front is substantially flush with the front surface of the game board 11. Further, since the passage in front of the gutter bent portion 50 and the amount of projection in the front of the window decoration member 80 are configured to be substantially the same, as shown in FIG. A decorative expansion portion 80K having an expanded upper right portion can be arranged in front of the interference avoiding portion 50A.

Further, in the trough bending portion 50, a pair of inclined bending portions 50B and 50C are formed which connect the introduction portion 50D and the lead-out portion 50E and the interference avoiding portion 50A and are inclined with respect to the front surface of the game board 11. In addition, it is possible to smoothly pass the game ball heading from the introduction section 50D to the interference avoidance section 50A and the game ball heading from the interference avoidance section 50A to the lead-out section 50E, and to prevent the ball clogging in the gutter bending section 50. .. The portion of the front passage cover 55 located in front of the lead-out portion 50E is a lead-out portion cover 55E, which prevents a game ball moving from the interference avoidance portion 50A to the lead-out portion 50E from colliding with the glass window 10W. Get off. In addition, the lead-out portion 50E is wider than the interference avoiding portion 50A in the direction intersecting the front-back direction.

With the above-described configuration, the region through which the comparatively strongly driven game ball passes is collided with the cushioning member 41 and the first region T1 extending from the entrance 19 to the cushioning member 41 along the first guide rail 12A. It is decelerated by doing, the second area T2 through which the game ball passes at a speed lower (slower) than the first area T1 and the terminal cushioning member 16K are decelerated, and enters at a speed lower (slower) than the second area T2. It is divided into a third region T3 (right side flow-down area Rb) in which the played game balls flow down.

Next, operation effects of the gaming machine 10 will be described. In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the game ball is driven into the right-side downflow area Rb with vigor, the game ball that has jumped out of the entrance 19 is guided by the first guide rail 12A toward the upper right and hits right. Enter the introduction passage Rc.

The game ball that has entered the right-handed introduction passage Rc first passes through the deceleration bend portion 42. In the deceleration bending portion 42, the game ball moving rightward in the upper passage 45 collides with the cushioning member 41 to be decelerated, and is guided to the lower passage 46 arranged below it. In addition, the game ball that has entered the right-handed introduction passage Rc relatively gently may go toward the lower passage 46 without colliding with the buffer member 41.

The game ball guided to the lower passage 46 rolls further to the right and rushes into the introducing portion 50D of the trough bending portion 50, and the interference avoiding portion located behind the introducing portion 50D by the inclined bending portion 50B. You will be guided to 50A. At this time, since the speed of the game ball is reduced by the deceleration bending portion 42 provided on the upstream side, the impact when the game ball collides with the upstream side portion of the passage front cover 55 is suppressed, and the passage front cover 55. The burden on people is reduced. After that, the game ball passes through the interference avoiding portion 50A, passes through the inclined and bent portion 50C, and exits from the lead-out portion 50E.

The game ball that has passed through the gutter bent portion 50 reaches the upper right barrier 24Y, collides with the terminal cushioning member 16K, and is decelerated to flow into the right-side flow-down area Rb. In addition, since the side entrance path 60 that is bent in the left-right direction and the front-back direction is provided at the upper end of the right-side flow area Rb, the speed of the game ball is further reduced, and the guide nail is disposed in the right-side flow area Rb. It is possible to suppress the nail breakage which may occur when the game balls drop violently and collide with each other.

By the way, as described above, the window decoration member 80 is provided at the upper end of the display window 23A. Here, in the conventional gaming machine, when the window decoration member 80 is extended to the outside of the display window 23A, the passage of the game ball is blocked, or the inside of the window is secured to secure the passage. Since it is necessary to make the decoration member 80 smaller or change its position, there is a problem that the size and the degree of freedom of the decoration member 80 in the window are low.

On the other hand, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a part of the right-handed introduction passage Rc is the bent passage 50R that is bent backward, so that the window decoration member 80 is provided in front of the right-handed introduction passage Rc. The decoration expansion portion 80K can be arranged, and the degree of freedom of arrangement of the window decoration member 80 can be improved. Further, since the right-handed introduction passage Rc is decorated by the decoration expansion portion 80K, the taste is improved. Further, since the window decoration member 80 of the present embodiment extends from the left end to the right end of the upper end portion of the display window 23A as much as possible, it can be further expanded to the right to give an impact to the player. It is possible to give.

Further, since the decoration expansion portion 80K of the window decoration member 80 is located in front of the right-handed introduction passage Rc, the game ball seems to pass behind the decoration expansion portion 80K, and improvement in taste is expected. It Further, the in-window decoration member 80 is configured to be movable between the upper end position and the lower end position, so that the visible range of the right-handing introduction passage Rc changes depending on the position of the in-window decoration member 80. Further, the in-window decoration member 80 can be made large even if it is movable between the upper end position and the lower end position, which also improves the taste.

Furthermore, since the gutter bending portion 50 is bent to a position where the front surface of the interference avoiding portion 50A is substantially flush with the front surface of the game board 11, even if the window decoration member 80 is thickened, It is possible to avoid contact with the front surface. Further, by providing the interference avoiding portion 50A, even if the window decoration member 80 moves between the upper end position and the lower end position, the window decoration member 80 may come into contact with the right-hand introduction passage Rc. It is possible to avoid.
