Generally, in a pachinko machine, a pachinko game surface portion is an obstacle portion such as a pachinko nail or a prize portion on a game board on which a background pattern is printed, and a decorative portion blinking in a required pattern. And so on,
When the player operates the handle, the pachinko balls are sequentially sent to the pachinko game surface section, enter the winning section or are collected in the discharge port, and prize balls corresponding to the number of balls entering the winning section etc. are below the game surface section. It is designed to be sent to the saucer side of. In such a conventional pachinko machine,
Since the layout of the nails and the winning part etc. provided on the game board is fixed and the way of winning prizes is also fixed, the operating rate of the pachinko machine is greatly affected by the popularity and unpopularity of the players. It is easy, and if the installation period is long, the customer who is a player will become tired. Therefore, we try to keep the novelty by installing multiple types of pachinko machines in the game store and periodically replacing the pachinko machines, but this pachinko machine replacement requires labor and cost. It is not economical, and it does not mean that the pachinko machine of the model desired by the player is not necessarily free, and there is also the problem that there is little freedom in model selection. Therefore, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 57-60680, a video-type pachinko machine stand using a television image has been proposed so that the pachinko game surface portion can be displayed as a video, and the video can be appropriately displayed. A device that can be switched to is proposed.

Nowadays, due to recent changes in game forms on pachinko machines, it has become more frequent for players to request information such as the number of jackpots and the jackpot probability as prior information. However, in the pachinko machine with the above-mentioned conventional structure, it is not possible to provide the information to the player side, and also in the pachinko machine that is configured to display the image, the pachinko ball, the winning part of the pachinko game surface portion,
Since the nails and the like are simply displayed as a concrete image, the information cannot be provided like the conventional machine. Further, in the case of using the CRT image on the pachinko gaming surface portion, the depth of the pachinko machine itself is increased, and the weight is significantly increased, which is apt to cause problems.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention has an object to form a pachinko game surface portion by a video output device which can be easily made thin and to display various information on the game surface portion. Is to easily obtain information from the pachinko machine, and the store side can provide various kinds of information to the player side through the pachinko game surface portion.

An information display unit for displaying a notification information such as pachinko game information or advertisement for a player by displaying operation by a liquid crystal display device is provided in one section of the pachinko game surface section, and a pachinko machine is provided. It is intended to solve the above problems. In the present invention,
The pachinko gaming surface part is used as a liquid crystal display device, and the device provides the gaming elements that have constituted the conventional pachinko gaming surface as an image. Moreover, the liquid crystal display device itself is thin, and a pachinko machine incorporating this is used. Does not increase the depth of the table and does not increase the weight.
