It is configured to pass through the passage hole of the first starting port switch 11a provided on the face plate 105 (not shown in FIG. 6A).

FIG.6(b) shows the specific game nail C93 and the specific game nail D94 which form the entrance of the 1st starting opening 11, and the schematic front view of the 1st starting opening 11. As shown in FIG.
The 1st starting port 11 is arrange|positioned at the center of FIG.6(b). Directly above the first starting port 11, a specific game nail C93 and a specific game nail D94 that form the entrance of the first starting port 11 are planted.
As shown in FIG. 6A, when the cover member 98 is inserted into the transparent game board 97, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the front surface of the transparent game board 97 is displayed. The game ball that has flowed down contacts the specific game nail C93, but does not contact the covering member 98.

Next, the covering member 98 will be described with reference to FIG. 7.
FIG. 7A shows a front view and a schematic sectional view of the covering member 98. The covering member 98 is provided with a protruding portion 98a and a holding portion 98c. The protrusion 98a is provided with an insertion hole inlet 98b into which a game nail can be inserted. Further, the covering member 98 is provided with an insertion hole portion 98d as a passage for inserting the game nail inserted from the insertion hole inlet 98b. Further, the holding portion 98c is provided with an insertion hole outlet 98e as an outlet of the insertion hole portion 98d.

As shown in FIG. 7B, the specific game nail C93 that forms the entrance of the first starting port 11 is an elongated nail body portion 93b and the front surface of the transparent game board 97 at one end side of the nail body portion 93b. It has a nail head portion 93a formed to be thicker than the nail body portion 93b at the tip portion projecting to the side. The nail head 93a is inserted into the insertion hole inlet 98b from the tip opposite to the nail head 93a, inserted through the insertion hole portion 98d, and exits from the insertion hole outlet 98e. The structure and shape of the specific game nail C93 are the same as the other game nails 4 implanted in the game area 3.

With reference to FIG. 8, a description will be given of how the specific game nail C93 is held by the transparent game plate 97 and is in a fixed state.
First, as shown in FIG. 8A, a holding hole A99 is formed in the transparent game board 97. Further, in the transparent game plate 97, a holding hole B100 is formed on the front surface side of the transparent game plate 97 rather than the holding hole A99. The holding hole B100 is formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the holding portion 98c of the covering member 98 so that the covering member 98 can be inserted.

The holding hole B100 has a holding hole abutting surface 100a at the back of the holding hole B100. Further, the covering member 98 has a covering member contact surface 98f on the insertion hole outlet 98e side of the covering member 98. When the covering member 98 is inserted into the holding hole B100, the holding hole contact surface 100a and the covering member contact surface 98f come into contact with each other. Further, the covering member 98 has a covering member upper contact surface 98g and a covering member lower contact surface 98h.
By inserting the covering member 98 into the holding hole B100, the covering member 98 is held by the transparent game board 97.

The specific game nail C93 is inserted from the insertion hole inlet 98b of the covering member 98 inserted into the holding hole B100. The specific game nail C93 inserted from the insertion hole inlet 98b passes through the insertion hole portion 98d, is inserted from the insertion hole outlet 98e, and is driven into the holding hole A99 to be held by the transparent game board 97. In this embodiment, a game nail is driven into the transparent game board 97 using a nail driving machine. Therefore, when the specific game nail is driven before inserting the covering member 98 into the transparent game plate 97, the work of driving a game nail other than the specific game nail into the transparent game plate 97 and the work of driving the specific game nail are performed. It takes time and effort.
Therefore, in the first embodiment, the cover member 98 is inserted into the transparent game plate 97 and then the specific game nail C93 is driven, so that the specific game nail and the specific game can be driven by the nail driver without the above-mentioned trouble. Game nails other than nails can be efficiently driven into the transparent game board 97.
Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned configuration, and it is conceivable that the specific game nail is driven into the transparent game plate 97 while being inserted into the covering member 98.

Although not shown in the figure, the game nails 4 other than the specific game nails planted in the transparent game board 97 are inserted into the holding holes C96 formed in the transparent game board 97, so that the transparent game board 97 is formed. It is supposed to be retained.

When the specific game nail C93 is driven into the transparent game plate 97 after inserting the covering member 98 into the holding hole B100, the specific game nail C93 is fixed to the transparent game plate 97 as shown in FIG. 8B. It will be in a state of being. The specific game nail C93 and the projecting portion 98a of the covering member 98 project to the front side of the transparent game plate 97. The root of the specific game nail C93 is covered with the covering member 98.
Although the protruding portion 98a which is a part of the covering member 98 protrudes to the front side of the transparent game plate 97, even if the flowing down game ball B comes into contact with the nail body portion 93b of the specific game nail C93, the covering member 98 It does not come into contact with the protruding portion 98a. Therefore, the bouncing method when the game ball collides with the specific game nail C93 does not obviously differ from the bouncing method when colliding with the game nail other than the specific game nail, so that the player does not feel uncomfortable.

The length of the covering member upper contact surface 98g of the covering member 98 of Example 1 is longer than the length of the covering member lower contact surface 98h, and the covering member upper contact surface 98g is longer than the covering member lower contact surface 98h. Also, the area in contact with the transparent game board 97 is large. As a result, it is possible to prevent the position and the posture of the covering member 98 from changing due to the game ball falling from the upstream side to the downstream direction colliding with the specific game nail.
In addition, the covering member upper contact surface 98g of the covering member 98 and the covering member lower contact surface 98h have different shapes, and if the covering member 98 is not inserted into the holding hole B100 in the proper orientation, FIG. Since the holding hole contact surface 100a and the covering member contact surface 98f shown in b) do not come into contact with each other, it is possible to prevent the covering member 98 from being accidentally inserted in the opposite direction.

FIG. 9A shows a fixed state of the specific game nail C93 that forms the entrance of the first starting opening 11. For the purpose of adjusting the angle of the specific game nail C93 forming the entrance of the first starting port 11 and the interval with the specific game nail D94, a shock is given in the direction of the arrow by a hammer, or the specific game nail C93 is fixed with pliers. When bent, the specific game nail C93 is changed from the state shown in FIG. 9A to the state where the specific game nail C93 is deformed from the root as shown in FIG. 9B.

The covering member 98 of the first embodiment is not damaged by the impact of the game ball falling on the specific game nail or is not deformed in shape, but is damaged by the impact of the hammer on the specific game nail or the pliers. Therefore, it has durability such that the shape is deformed by bending the specific game nail.

When the impact is transmitted to the covering member 98 that covers the specific gaming nail C93 in the direction of the arrow by the hammer or the like transmitted to the base of the specific gaming nail C93, the covering member 98 is projected to the protruding portion 98a as shown in FIG. 9B. A whitening phenomenon indicated by the symbol A occurs. Here, the whitening phenomenon means that a fine scratch or the like is caused by an impact or the like, so that the object looks white.

As shown in FIG. 9B, when the whitening phenomenon indicated by the reference symbol A occurs in the protruding portion 98a of the covering member 98, the whitening phenomenon occurs in other places than the covering member 98 in which the whitening phenomenon does not occur. Compared with the place of or the other place of the transparent game board 97, the light transmittance becomes low and the refractive index changes.

According to the ball game machine of the first embodiment, in order to adjust the interval and the angle of the specific game machine inserted into the transparent game board 97 by inserting the covering member 98, for example, the transparent game for the specific game nail. When the impact is given with a hammer or the like in a direction substantially parallel to the front face of the plate 97, the base of the specific game nail is deformed, or it is transmitted to the base of the specific game nail planted in the transparent game plate 97 through the covering member 98. The impact damages the covering member 98, and the covering member 98 is bleached. Since the transparent game board 97 and the covering member 98 are made of the same synthetic resin, it becomes clear that the light transmittance and the refractive index are changed by the whitening phenomenon, and the place where the whitening phenomenon occurs is different from the other place. Since it becomes darker in comparison, the player or a third party who confirms whether or not the game nail has been adjusted can easily visually recognize that the specific game nail has been adjusted.
[Example 2]

The configuration for making it possible to visually recognize that the angle of the game nail and the interval between the game nails are adjusted with a hammer or the like is not limited to the configuration of the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, another configuration different from the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12. Since this embodiment has a lot in common with the first embodiment, the different points will be mainly described.

With reference to FIG. 10, a schematic sectional view of the transparent game plate 97, the specific game nail C93, the first nail holding member 101, and the first starting opening 11 of the second embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 10, the specific game nail C93 of the second embodiment projects from the front side of the transparent game plate 97, but unlike the first embodiment, the specific game nail C93 is driven into the transparent game plate 97 itself. Absent. The specific game nail C93 of the second embodiment is driven into the first nail holding member 101 and held by the first nail holding member 101. Then, the first nail holding member 101 is held by the transparent game board 97 by being inserted from the front side of the transparent game board 97. The first nail holding member 101 covers the root of the specific game nail C93.

The first starting port 11 is provided immediately below the specific game nail C93. When the game ball enters the first starting port 11 provided in the game area 3, the game ball flows down to the rear side of the transparent game plate 97, and the back board assembled to the rear side of the transparent game plate 97. It is configured to pass through the passage hole of the first starting port switch 11a provided on the face plate 105 (not shown in FIG. 10).

Here, the 1st nail holding member 101 is demonstrated using FIG.
The first nail holding member 101 is formed of the same polycarbonate resin as the transparent game board 97. The first nail holding member 101 has a protruding portion 101a and a holding portion 101c. The protrusion 101a is provided with an insertion hole inlet 101b into which a game nail can be inserted. In addition, the first nail holding member 101 is provided with a concave holding hole D101d.
As shown in FIG. 11(b), the specific game nail C93 is held by the holding hole D101d by driving the specific game nail C93 into the holding hole D101d from the tip end on the opposite side of the nail head 93a.

With reference to FIG. 12, the description will be made until the specific game nail C93 is fixed in the transparent game plate 97.
As shown in FIG. 12A, the transparent game board 97 is provided with a concave holding hole E102. The holding hole E102 formed in the transparent game plate 97 of the second embodiment has a shape corresponding to the holding portion 101c of the first nail holding member 101 so that the first nail holding member 101 can be inserted into the holding hole E102. Has been formed.
The first nail holding member 101 has a holding member contact surface 101e as shown in FIG. 12(a). Further, the holding hole E102 has a holding hole contact surface 102a at the back of the holding hole E102. The first nail holding member 101 can be pushed into the holding hole E102 until the holding member abutting surface 101e and the holding hole abutting surface 102a abut.
Further, the first nail holding member 101 shown in FIG. 12A has a holding member upper contact surface 101f and a holding member lower contact surface 101g. The shape of the holding member lower contact surface 101g has a step different from the shape of the holding member upper contact surface 101f.

By pushing the first nail holding member 101 into the holding hole E102 until the holding member abutting surface 101e and the holding hole abutting surface 102a come into contact with each other, the first nail holding member 101 is held by the transparent game plate 97, as shown in FIG. The state shown in b) is obtained.
Further, as shown in FIG. 12B, the specific game nail C93 and the projecting portion 101a of the first nail holding member 101 are in a state of projecting to the front side of the transparent game plate 97, but of the transparent game plate 97. The game ball B flowing down the front side does not contact the first nail holding member 101 even if it contacts the nail body portion 93b of the specific game nail C93. Therefore, the bouncing method when the game ball collides with the specific game nail C93 does not obviously differ from the bouncing method when colliding with the game nail other than the specific game nail, so that the player does not feel uncomfortable.
In this embodiment, the game nail is basically driven into the transparent game board 97 by using the nail driving machine. Therefore, in the configuration in which the first nail holding member 101 in the state where the specific game nail C93 of the second embodiment is inserted is pushed into the holding hole formed in the transparent game plate 97, game nails other than the specific game nail are inserted in the transparent game plate 97. The work of driving in and the work of pushing the first nail holding member 101 with the specific game nail C93 inserted into the holding hole formed in the transparent game plate 97 are time-consuming.
Therefore, it is possible to first push the first nail holding member 101 into the holding hole formed in the transparent game plate 97 and then drive the specific game nail C93. In the case of this configuration, the specific game nail and the game nail other than the specific game nail can be efficiently driven into the transparent game board 97 by the nailing machine without the above-mentioned trouble.

It is conceivable that the position and the posture of the above-mentioned first nail holding member 101 change due to the game ball falling from the upstream side to the downstream direction colliding with the specific game nail. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 50 of the second embodiment, the holding member upper contact surface 101f of the first nail holding member 101 is in contact with the transparent game plate 97, thereby preventing the position and appearance of the first nail holding member 101 from changing. I am able to do it. In addition, since the shape of the holding member lower contact surface 101g of the first nail holding member 101 has a step, even if a game ball falling from the upstream to the downstream collides with the specific game nail, the force is applied to the step. As a result, it is possible to prevent the position and shape of the first nail holding member 101 from changing.
Further, since the holding member lower contact surface 101g of the first nail holding member 101 has a step, unless the first nail holding member 101 is inserted into the holding hole E102 in the proper orientation, the state shown in FIG. Since the holding member contact surface 101e and the holding hole contact surface 102a do not come into contact with each other, it is possible to prevent the first nail holding member 101 from being inserted by mistake in the opposite direction.

According to the ball game machine of the second embodiment, in order to adjust the angle of the specific game nail, for example, when the specific game nail is impacted with a hammer or the like in a direction substantially parallel to the front surface of the transparent game plate 97. The first nail holding member 101 is damaged by the deformation of the base of the specific game nail or the impact transmitted to the base of the specific game nail C93, and the whitening phenomenon occurs in the first nail holding member 101. Since the transparent game board 97 and the first nail holding member 101 are formed of the same synthetic resin, it is clear that the light transmittance and the refractive index are changed by the whitening phenomenon, and the whitening phenomenon occurs at other places. Since it becomes darker than the place of, the player or a third party who confirms whether or not the game nail is adjusted can easily visually recognize that the specific game nail has been adjusted.
[Example 3]

The configuration for making it possible to visually recognize that the angle of the game nail and the interval between the game nails are adjusted with a hammer or the like is not limited to the configuration of the first embodiment. In the third embodiment, another configuration different from the configurations described in the first and second embodiments will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 15. Since this embodiment has a lot in common with the first and second embodiments, the different points will be mainly described.

With reference to FIG. 13, a schematic sectional view of the transparent game plate 97, the specific game nail C93, the first nail holding member 101, and the first starting opening 11 of the third embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 13, the specific game nail C93 is not driven into the transparent game board 97. The specific game nail C93 of the third embodiment is held by the second nail holding member 103 by being inserted into the second nail holding member 103. The second nail holding member 103 is held by the transparent game board 97 by being inserted from the rear side of the transparent game board 97. The second nail holding member 103 covers the root of the specific game nail C93.

The second nail holding member 103 will be described with reference to FIG.
The second nail holding member 103 is made of the same polycarbonate resin as the transparent game board 97.
As shown in FIG. 14A, the second nail holding member 103 is provided with a protruding portion 103a and a holding portion 103c. The protrusion 103a is provided with an insertion hole inlet 103b into which a game nail can be inserted. Further, the second nail holding member 103 is provided with a concave holding hole F103d.
As shown in FIG. 14B, the specific game nail C93 is held by the second nail holding member 103 by driving the specific game nail C93 into the holding hole F103d from the tip end on the opposite side of the nail head 93a. Further, the holding portion 103c is provided with a holding member upper contact surface 103e and a holding member lower contact surface 103f.

With reference to FIG. 15, a description will be given of how the specific game nail C93 of the third embodiment is fixed in the transparent game plate 97.
As shown in FIG. 15A, the transparent game plate 97 has a holding hole G104 for holding the second nail holding member 103 inserted from the rear side of the transparent game plate 97. The holding hole G104 is formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the holding portion 103c so that the second nail holding member 103 can be inserted.
The holding hole G104 is provided with a holding hole upper contact surface 104a and a holding hole lower contact surface 104b. When the second nail holding member 103 is inserted into the holding hole G104, the holding member upper contact surface 103e contacts the holding hole upper contact surface 104a, and the holding member lower contact surface 103f contacts the holding hole lower contact surface. It comes into contact with the contact surface 104b. When the second nail holding member 103 is inserted into the holding hole G104, the specific game nail C93 and the projecting portion 103a of the second nail holding member 103 are inserted through the holding hole G104 to the front side of the transparent game board 97. It will stick out.

When the second nail holding member 103 is inserted all the way into the holding hole G104, the second nail holding member 103 is held by the transparent game board 97 as shown in FIG. 15(b). Further, the game ball B flowing down the front side of the transparent game plate 97 does not contact the second nail holding member 103 even if it comes into contact with the specific game nail C93. Therefore, the bouncing method when the gaming ball collides with the specific gaming nail C93 does not obviously differ from the bouncing method when colliding with a gaming nail other than the specific gaming nail, which gives the player a feeling of strangeness. Don't
In this embodiment, the game nail is basically driven into the transparent game board 97 by using the nail driving machine. Therefore, in the configuration in which the second nail holding member 103 in the state where the specific game nail C93 of the third embodiment is inserted is pushed into the holding hole formed in the transparent game plate 97, the game nails other than the specific game nail are inserted in the transparent game plate 97. The work of driving and the work of pushing the second nail holding member 103 in the state where the specific game nail C93 is inserted into the holding hole formed in the transparent game plate 97 are time-consuming.
Therefore, it is possible to first push the second nail holding member 103 into the holding hole formed in the transparent game plate 97 and then drive the specific game nail C93. In the case of this configuration, the specific game nail and the game nail other than the specific game nail can be efficiently driven into the transparent game board 97 by the nailing machine without the above-mentioned trouble.

The length of the holding member upper contact surface 103e of the third embodiment is longer than the length of the holding member lower contact surface 103f, and the holding member upper contact surface 103e is more transparent than the holding member lower contact surface 103f. The area in contact with the game board 97 is large. As a result, it is possible to prevent the position and the posture of the second nail holding member 103 from changing due to the game ball falling from the upstream side to the downstream direction colliding with the specific game nail.
Further, since the holding member upper contact surface 103e of the second nail holding member 103 has a shape in which the holding member lower contact surface 103f has a different length, the second nail holding member 103 is inserted into the holding hole G104 in an appropriate orientation. Otherwise, the holding member upper contact surface 103e and the holding member lower contact surface 103f shown in FIG. 15(b) do not come into contact with each other. Therefore, the second nail holding member 103 is mistakenly inserted in the opposite direction. It can be suppressed.

The second nail holding member 103 described in the third embodiment has a configuration that cannot be disassembled into the protruding portion 103a and the holding portion 103c. The present invention is not limited to this, and may be a disassembleable configuration, for example.
For example, the second nail holding member 103 shown in FIG. 14 may be configured by disassembling the projecting portion 103a and the holding portion 103c, and combining the projecting portion 103a and the holding portion 103c.

According to the ball game machine of the third embodiment, in order to adjust the angle of the specific game nail, for example, when the specific game nail is impacted with a hammer or the like in a direction substantially parallel to the front surface of the transparent game plate 97. The second nail holding member 103 is damaged by the deformation of the base of the specific game nail or the impact transmitted to the base of the specific game nail C93, and the whitening phenomenon occurs in the second nail holding member 103. Since the transparent game plate 97 and the second nail holding member 103 are made of the same synthetic resin, it is clear that the light transmittance and the refractive index have changed due to the whitening phenomenon, and the whitening phenomenon occurs at other places. Since it becomes darker than the place of, the player or a third party who confirms whether or not the game nail is adjusted can easily visually recognize that the specific game nail has been adjusted.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configurations/states of the second and third embodiments and the constituent features of the present invention will be shown.
The “gaming board” of the present invention corresponds to the transparent gaming board 97, the “gaming nail” corresponds to the gaming nail 4, and the “winning hole” is from the first starting opening 11, the second starting opening 12, and the normal winning opening 31. It corresponds to either the regular winning opening 34 or the special winning opening 14, the "first holding hole" corresponds to the holding hole D101b, the "second holding hole" corresponds to the holding hole E102, and the "third holding hole". Corresponds to the holding hole C96.

The transparent game board 97 of the first to third embodiments is not limited to the polycarbonate resin. For example, it may be a thermoplastic acrylic resin. Further, when the transparent game plate 97 is made of acrylic resin, a member (a covering member 98, a first nail holding member 101, a second nail holding member 103) that covers the base of the game nail in the first to third embodiments. ) Is an acrylic resin.

For the members (covering member 98, first nail holding member 101, second nail holding member 103) that cover the roots of the specific game nails in Embodiments 1 to 3, a resin different from the resin forming the transparent game board 97 is used. It may be configured. For example, when the synthetic resin that forms the transparent game plate 97 is a polycarbonate resin, a composite that forms a member (covering member C93, first nail holding member 101, second nail holding member 103) that covers the root of the specific game nail. The resin may be polyvinyl chloride resin, polypropylene resin, acrylic resin, polyarylate resin, polyethylene terephthalate resin. It may also be a mixture of a plurality of types of high-molecular polymers (plastics) (for example, polyphenylene ether and polystyrene, polycarbonate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polycarbonate and polystyrene, polybutylene terephthalate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). , 6 nylon mixed with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene).
The resin forming the members (covering member 98, first nail holding member 101, second nail holding member 103) covering the base of the specific game nail is harder than the resin forming the transparent game plate 97. May be In this case, since the member that covers the base of the specific game nail is easily cracked, it is easy to visually recognize that the specific game nail has been adjusted.
Further, the resin forming the member (covering member 98, first nail holding member 101, second nail holding member 103) that covers the base of the specific game nail is softer than the resin forming the transparent game plate 97. It may be configured to. In this case, since the whitening phenomenon easily occurs in the member that covers the base of the specific game nail by adjusting the specific game nail, it is easy to visually recognize that the specific game nail has been adjusted.
However, as the resin forming the member that covers the root, if it is a fragile resin, it may drop, and if it falls into the flow path of the game ball, it may be the cause of ball clogging in some cases. Therefore, it is desirable to use a resin that is hard to break and that is liable to undergo whitening due to deformation.
[Example 4]

The first to third embodiments have been described as the configuration for making it possible to visually confirm that the angle of the game nail and the interval between the game nails are adjusted with a hammer or the like. In the fourth embodiment, configurations other than these configurations will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 18. Since this embodiment has a lot in common with the first embodiment, the different points will be mainly described.

In the game board 1 of Example 4, a specific game nail F106 is planted on the upper left side of the first starting port 11 and a specific game nail G107 is planted on the upper right side of the first starting port 11 (see FIG. 16). The specific game nail F106 and the specific game nail G107 form an entrance for guiding the game ball into the first starting opening 11.

FIG. 17 shows a front view of the back face plate 105.
Similarly to the first embodiment, the back face plate 105 of the fourth embodiment also controls the main control device 80 that controls the overall game, the effect symbol control device 82 that controls the effect symbol display device 6, voice, and various LEDs 26. Parts such as a sub integrated control device 83 for controlling the above, a movable accessory, a center case 5, and the like are installed.
Two LEDs 26 are arranged below the center case 5 on the back face plate 105 of the fourth embodiment. When the back face plate 105 is attached from the back side of the transparent game plate 97, the pachinko machine 50 is viewed from the front, and the specific game nail F106 and the specific game nail G107 are planted at the transparent game plate 97 and the two LEDs 26. The positions where are provided overlap.

The features of the specific game nail F106 of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The specific game nail G107 has the same structure as the specific game nail F106.
The specific game nail F106 is an elongated nail body portion 106b, and a nail head formed to be thicker than the nail body portion 106b at a tip portion projecting to the front side of the transparent game plate 97 at one end side of the nail body portion 106b. And a portion 106a. The central axis 106d of the specific game nail F106 is a hollow column. However, the cavity is not limited to the columnar cavity. Further, the central axis 106d of the specific game nail F106 is processed to have low reflection.
The nail head portion 106a is provided with a first nail hole portion 106c.

The LED 26 shown in FIG. 18A is configured to emit light for a predetermined period (for example, about 10 seconds) when the effect button 67 is operated during standby. In particular, it is not limited to this configuration. The configuration may be such that the LED 26 emits light by operating an operating means other than the effect button 67 (for example, the firing handle 64 or the like). Further, the pachinko machine 50 does not need to be on standby, and the LED 26 may be projected during the game.

A case where the LED 26 is projected will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 18B, by operating the effect button 67, the light emitted from the LED 26 toward the central axis 106d of the specific game nail F106 (reference A shown in FIG. 18B) is It is possible to enter from the two nail hole portions 106e, pass through the central axis 106d of the specific game nail F106, and exit from the first nail hole portion 106c of the specific game nail F106.

Here, with reference to FIG. 19A, a schematic front view of the first starting opening 11 and the specific gaming nails F106 and specific gaming nails G107 implanted near the entrance of the first starting opening 11 is shown.
As shown in FIG. 19A, a specific game nail F106 and a specific game nail G107 are planted immediately above the first starting port 11.
When the effect button 67 is operated and light is projected from the LED 26 toward the cavity 106d of the specific game nail F106, as shown in FIG. 18B, from the first nail hole portion 106c of the specific game nail F106. Light will be emitted toward the front side of the pachinko machine 50.

The specific game nail F106 planted in the vicinity of the entrance of the first starting port 11 shown in FIG. 18(b) is shown in FIG. 18(b) for the purpose of adjusting the angle of the game nail and the interval of the game nails. When an impact is given with a hammer in the direction of the arrow shown or the specific game nail F106 is bent with pliers, as shown in FIG. 18C, the specific game nail F106 is bent downward from the root of the specific game nail F106.

As shown in FIG. 18C, when the specific game nail F106 is bent, light of the LED 26 (reference A shown in FIG. 18C) is projected toward the central axis 106d of the specific game nail F106. Then, even if the projected light is inserted from the second nail hole portion 106e, since the specific game nail F106 is in a bent state, the straight-ahead light is reflected within the central axis 106f of the specific game nail F106, It will come out from the first nail hole portion 106c of the game nail G106.

FIG. 19B shows a schematic front view of the first starting opening 11 and the specific gaming nail F106 and the specific gaming nail G107 that are planted near the entrance of the first starting opening 11. The specific game nail F106 is in a bent state. Unlike the state of the specific game nail F106 shown in FIG. 19A, the specific game nail F106 shown in FIG. 19B has a distorted nail head 106a of the specific game nail F106.
Further, since the specific game nail F106 is bent in the downstream direction, when the specific game nail F106 is seen from the front of the pachinko machine 50, the nail head is downward as compared with the time shown in FIG. 19(a). The part 106a is located. Further, since the nail head portion 106a is located below, the nail body portion 106b can be seen. In the state shown in FIGS. 18(c) and 19(b), even if the light is emitted from the LED 26, the central axis 106d of the specific game nail F106 is subjected to low reflection processing, and thus the second nail hole portion 106c. There will be little or no light coming from. Further, even if the light is emitted, the specific game nail F106 is bent in the downstream direction, and therefore, the specific game nail F106 is bent more than the light shown in FIG. 18B.

A modified example of the fourth embodiment will be described. This modification is a combination of the configuration of the third embodiment and the configuration of the fourth embodiment described above. Since the present embodiment has many common points with the third and fourth embodiments, the different points will be mainly described.
