When the display mode displayed on the symbol display device 13 at the time of stop is a combination of a predetermined specific symbol (for example, the number "7"), it is determined that a jackpot state has been reached, and the opening/closing member 16a of the variable winning device 15 , 16b
The open state is maintained for a certain period of time (for example, 30 seconds) or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning children are awarded. In addition, the opening/closing members 16a and 16b of the variable prize winning device 15
A winning child guided by the person enters a V winning hole (not shown) formed inside the winning child, and a V winning detection switch (not shown) attached to the V winning hole is turned on.
When the opening/closing member 16a of the variable prize winning device 15 is opened again,
16b is opened under the above-mentioned conditions, and such an open state continues for a maximum of 10 times as long as (1) a ball is hit into the winning hole. In addition, as a means for stopping the fluctuation of the symbol display device 13, the fluctuation time shortening button may be omitted and the fluctuation may be stopped only after a certain period of time after the start of the fluctuation.

In addition, in the winning area 12, the above-described symbol display device 13,
In addition to the variable winning device 15 and the starting winning openings 14a to 14c,
A plurality of winning holes 17a, 17b, 18a, as winning areas.
18b is provided, and a jackpot lamp (no reference numeral) is provided which is activated in a jackpot state. In addition, the gaming area 12
An out hole 19 is also formed at the bottom of the hole, into which a batted ball that has not won a prize enters any of the winning holes.

The configuration of the pachinko machine 1 according to the embodiment has been described above, but in this embodiment, the security member 20 is provided below the glass door frame 4 as described above, and the security member 20 is provided at the lower part of the game board 10. The variable winning device 15 and the winning openings 18a, 1 are arranged at the front, specifically, at the bottom of the gaming area 12.
It covers up to the height that crosses 8b. Here, the configuration of the security member 20 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The security member 20 includes a transparent plate 21 as a rectangular plate-shaped portion, and a transparent plate 21 that is protruded from the back side of the transparent plate 21 and the inside of the transparent plate 21. Rail 11b
A protective wall 22 is formed in an arc shape along the outer surface of the protective wall 22. Thin stepped portions 23 are formed on both sides and the lower side of the transparent plate 21, and the stepped portions 23 are accommodated in the glass storage groove 4a of the glass door frame 4. Further, in this embodiment, the transparent plate 21 is
As shown in Fig. 2, it has a multilayer structure. That is, the transparent wooden body 24 with which the protective wall 22 is integrally formed
A liquid crystal layer 27 sandwiched between transparent electrodes 25a and 25b on the surface of
is attached, and a front transparent plate 28 is further attached to the surface thereof. The liquid crystal layer 27 displays predetermined information by changing the molecular orientation of the liquid crystal when a voltage is applied through wirings 26a and 26b connected to the transparent electrodes 25a and 25b. For example, it is information related to games or information such as advertisements. In this embodiment, since the transparent plate 21 is used as the plate-like part, it is not possible to see through the gaming area 12 behind the security member 20 in the normal state (state where no voltage is applied). I can do it,
Further, even if a voltage is applied and information is displayed on the liquid crystal, the lower part of the game area 12 that is not related to the game such as winning a hit ball on the game board 10 becomes somewhat difficult to see. Note that the game area 12 covered by the plate-shaped portion is an area that is not related to games such as winning a prize with a batted ball, as described above.
The plate portion does not necessarily need to be made of a transparent plate.

When the security member 20 configured as described above is attached to the glass storage groove 4a of the glass door frame 4, as shown in FIG. Since the position is along the outer surface of the glass door plate 6, if a player presses the upper part of the front door plate 6 with his or her finger, the gap between the protruding piece 4C of the glass door frame 4 and the engagement groove 6a of the front door plate 6 is Even if a gap is created and an unauthorized member is inserted through the gap, the tip of the unauthorized member will come into contact with the protective wall 22 of the security member 20 and touch the glass plate 5.
It cannot be allowed to enter from between the inside rail tib and the inside rail tib, and cannot be made to reach the game area 12 of the game board 10. In other words, it becomes impossible to illicitly operate the winning openings and winning devices arranged in the gaming area 12. In addition, in this embodiment, the security member 20 not only has a security function, but also has a liquid crystal display function in the lower part of the game board 10 to the extent that it is not related to the game. The first step is to display various information. For example, the second
As shown in the figure, if the configuration is such that voltage is applied to the liquid crystal when the handle switch 8a operated by the operation handle 8 operated by the player is turned on,
Information is displayed while the player is playing the game. Further, since the security member 20 is detachable and replaceable with respect to the glass door frame 4, it is possible to easily set information required in the game hall. Note that the voltage applied to the liquid crystal can be turned on or off not only by the above-mentioned handle switch, but also by a command from the management device of the gaming hall, or by turning it on during normal gaming conditions. Alternatively, a voltage may be applied when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on. Further, as a device for displaying information, not only a liquid crystal but also an information display means using EL light emission, which can be made into a thin film, may be used.

The embodiment has been described above, and according to this embodiment, even if an unauthorized member is inserted between the glass door frame 4 and the front door plate 6, the tip of the unauthorized member is inserted into the protective wall of the security member 20.
2 and cannot enter from between the glass plate 5a and the inner rail llb, the player cannot reach the game area 12 of the game board 10, and illegal acts can be completely prevented.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above explanation, the security member according to the present invention comes into contact with the inner surface of the lower part of the glass plate facing the game board and is inserted into the glass storage groove of the glass door frame. A substantially rectangular plate-shaped part and a protective wall formed in an arc shape along the outer surface of an inner rail that protrudes from the back side of the plate-shaped part and is planted on the surface of the game board. Therefore, even if an unauthorized member is inserted between the glass door frame and the front door plate, the tip of the unauthorized member will come into contact with the protective wall of the security member and will be inserted between the glass plate and the inner rail. Since no intrusion is possible from the inside, the game area of the game board cannot be reached, and fraudulent acts can be reliably prevented.
