In this case, since the sensor is arranged in the vicinity of the winning opening and the game ball guiding member is displaced by the drive system, compared with the self weight system in which the opening mode is displaced by the weight of the game ball guiding member and the lever action. The change in the light emission mode with respect to the opening / closing operation of the game ball guiding member can be quickly followed (or preceded in some cases).

In any case, as the light source of the light emitting means,
If a chip-shaped LED element attached to the wiring board is used, it becomes easy to achieve downsizing of the light emitting means and the wiring board and suppression of increase in manufacturing cost.

By the way, the light emitting means is composed of a plurality of LED light sources of different emission colors and is constituted by a compound light emitting unit which emits different mixed light according to the light emission intensity of each LED light source, and a game board game is performed. The emission color of the composite light emitting unit may be changed according to the change of the state. As a result, it becomes easy to change the light emission mode by changing the light emission color in accordance with the change in the game state (or in some cases, the opening / closing of the rotating member). So, for example,
Such a composite light emitting unit can be preferably used as the pair of light emitting means in the gaming machine winning devices of the third and sixth aspects.

As already mentioned, a typical example of the game ball guiding member is a tulip for gaming machine in which a pair of rotating members is composed of a pair of blade members. By arranging such a gaming machine winning device in the gaming machine, it is possible to realize a board structure that is even more entertaining and has a high game playability.

The contents of the control performed in 0 are, for example, Tables 1 and 2
It is expressed as. Among the gaming states A to H shown in Table 1, among the LED elements 5 provided in the starting winning device 510, among the light emitting timings (use of lighting and blinking, etc.), the light emitting position, and the light emitting color. By changing at least one of them, the light emission mode is changed. Below, regarding the contents of Table 1, (1) game board 10
The game state of 1a, (2) the opening mode of the rotating member 10 in the starting winning device 510, (3) the light emitting mode of the LED element 5 in the starting winning device 510 will be described separately.

[0056]

[Table 1]

<A: Standby State> (1) The player has not touched the firing operation handle 560, the touch switch 565 has not detected the gaming state, and the gaming machine 100 is in the customer waiting state. (2) At this time, the rotating member 10 of the starting winning device 510 is
The initial state is reset and the first opening mode is maintained. (3) The arbitrary LED element 5 of the starting winning device 510 is lit or blinked regularly or irregularly so as to attract the player (visitor). In addition, since the game state is not actually entered in this portion, there may be a difference in the power saving (energy saving) effect depending on how many LED elements 5 are used and at which period they are lit or blinked.

<B: Game Start State> (1) A state in which the player touches the firing operation handle 560 and the touch switch 565 detects the game state. (2) At this time, the rotating member 10 of the starting winning device 510 is
After the standby state (A), the first opening mode is maintained. (3) All the LED elements 5 of the starting winning device 510 will be simultaneously lit for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) after the touch switch 565 is turned on. At this time, LED
The elements 5 flash all at once (for example, a cycle of 2 seconds and a duty ratio of 1
/ 2).

<C: Normal Winning State> (1) The normal winning state here is the normal winning device 53.
0 refers to the state of entering the normal winning opening 537 (passing the gate), at which time the normal symbol display portion 541 of the normal symbol display device 540 is displayed in a variable manner (for example, the lamps for irradiating each ◯ × indicator are alternately lit). is doing. (2) At this time, the rotating member 10 of the starting winning device 510 is
Similar to the case of the game starting state (B), it is usually in the first opening mode. (3) Then, only one LED element 5 of the starting prize winning device 510 is constantly turned on, and the LED elements 5 to be turned on are sequentially shifted.

<D: Winning State> (1) The winning state is, in the normal winning state (C),
The normal symbol display unit 541 of the normal symbol display device 540 refers to a state in which the normal symbol hits (for example, a lamp display of ◯) is stopped. (2) At this time, the rotating member 10 of the starting winning device 510 is
When the ball enters the second opening mode, the first opening mode is restored. However, the condition for returning to the first opening mode is one or more balls entering after the second opening mode or a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) thereafter. (3) Then, before the turning member 10 of the starting winning device 510 is in the second opening mode, the LED element 5 on the second opening mode side of the starting winning device 510 blinks (for example, the cycle 0.
The duty ratio can be 4 seconds and the duty ratio can be 1/2. In this case, the LED elements 5 on the first opening aspect side and the second opening aspect side
May be blinked together, and at least the LED element 5 on the second opening mode side can be turned on. In any case, at least the LED element 5 on the second opening mode side is turned off when the rotating member 10 returns to the first opening mode.

<E: Variable display state> (1) In the hit state (D), the game ball enters the starting winning opening 517 of the starting prize winning device 510, and the special symbol display portion 501 of the special symbol varying display device 500 is displayed. It means the state of variable display. (2) At this time, the rotating member 10 of the starting winning device 510 is
It is usually in the first opening mode. (3) Then, in order to notify the player of the variable display state so that the variable display state can be distinguished from other states, all L of the starting prize winning device 510.
The ED element 5 blinks simultaneously (for example, cycle 1 second, duty ratio 1/2). Note that it is desirable to shorten the blinking period (for example, a period of 0.7 seconds, a duty ratio of 1/2) in order to reliably notify the player that the reach state (see the next section F) is approaching at the time of the reach announcement. .

<F: Reach state> (1) In the special symbol display portion 501 of the variable display state (E), the state where the remaining special symbols except the last one are gathered (for example, 7 to 7). The degree of appearance of the special game state (see G in the next section) in the reach state is called “reach reliability”. In other words, the reliability of the reach can be expressed as the degree of expectation for the special gaming state, and the "heat" of the reach (or jackpot) is commonly known.
Or it may be called "hardness". (2) At this time, the rotating member 10 of the starting winning device 510 is
Similar to the variable display state (E), the first opening mode is usually adopted. (3) Then, in order to notify the player so that the reach state can be distinguished from other states, all LEs of the starting winning device 510 are notified.
D element 5 flashes simultaneously at the same time
Seconds, duty ratio 1/2). It should be noted that in order to reliably convey the degree of expectation for the special game state to the player, the higher the reliability of the reach (“the hotter the reach”)
Shorten the blinking cycle (for example, cycle 0.3 seconds, duty ratio 1
/ 2) is desirable.

<G: Special Game State> (1) In the special symbol display portion 501, when the stop symbols are aligned in a line in a predetermined same symbol (for example, 777), the special game state (big hit state) is set. . (2) At this time, the rotating member 10 of the starting winning device 510 is
Similar to the variable display state (E) and the reach state (F), the first opening mode is usually adopted. (3) Then, in order to notify the player of the special game state so that it can be distinguished from other states, all L of the starting winning device 510.
The ED element 5 is turned on.

<H: Probability Change State> (1) When the special game state (G) is set in this way, the occurrence rate of the next special game state (G) is increased. (2) At this time, the opening mode of the rotating member 10 of the starting winning device 510 is in accordance with each of the gaming states A to G described above. (3) At this time, the number of the LED elements 5 of the starting prize winning device 510 is sequentially increased by one, and after all the LED elements 5 are turned on, the number of the turned-on elements is sequentially decreased by one (the number of lights off). Repeat the mode.

The priority of each of the game states A to H described above is set in the order of G, F, E, H, D, C, B, and A (see Table 1). Opening modes of the rotating member 10 of the starting winning device 510 in the probability variation state (H) are A to G.
By subordinate to each of the game states, the priority of the probability variation state (H) is relatively low. Therefore, even in the probability variation state (H), the starting winning device 51
The opening mode of the rotating member 10 of 0 depends on the winning state (D) and the normal winning state (C), and when the variable display state (E) is started, that state has priority. This avoids the monotonousness of the game due to the probability variation state (H) occupying most of the game state (game time), and the starting winning device 510.
This is to provide versatility in the opening mode of the rotating member 10 and the light emitting mode of the LED element 5.

Next, the control content shown in Table 2 is independent of the control content of Table 1, and is established by Table 2 alone. Further, in Table 2, the light emitting timing of the LED element 5 provided in the specific winning device 550 is changed by changing at least one of the light emitting timing (appropriate use of lighting and blinking), the light emitting position, and the light emitting color. Is making a difference. Below, regarding the contents of Table 2, (1) game board 10
The game state of 1a, (2) the opening mode of the rotating member 10 in the specific winning device 550, and (3) the light emitting mode of the LED element 5 in the specific winning device 550 will be separately described.

[0067]

It refers to the state of entering the ball (corresponding to the winning opening 7 in FIG. 3). (2) At this time, the rotating member 10 of the specific winning device 550 is
Once the second opening mode has been reached, then a plurality of (for example, 3
When the number of individual balls is entered, the first opening mode is restored. However, the condition for returning to the first opening mode may be one ball entering after the second opening mode, or when a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) has elapsed after the second opening mode. Good. (3) Then, before the turning member 10 of the specific winning device 550 is in the second opening mode, the LED element 5 on the second opening mode side of the specific winning device 550 is blinked (for example, the cycle 0.
The duty ratio can be 4 seconds and the duty ratio can be 1/2. In this case, the LED elements 5 on the first opening aspect side and the second opening aspect side
May be blinked together, and at least the LED element 5 on the second opening mode side can be turned on. In any case, when the rotating member 10 of the specific winning device 550 returns to the first opening mode, at least the LED element 5 on the second opening mode side is turned off.

FIG. 9 shows a modification of FIG. In this example,
The LED elements 5 and 5 are provided in a pair of left and right corresponding to the pair of turning members 10 and 10. The first turning displacement position and the second turning displacement are seen from the turning axis direction of each turning member 10. It is located in a region that overlaps in position. Further, in this case, the LED elements 5 and 5 are composed of a plurality of Ls having different emission colors.
It is desirable that the ED light sources are collectively arranged and configured by a composite light emitting unit that emits different mixed light according to the light emission intensity of each LED light source, and the composite light emitting unit is widely used from a two-color light emitting unit to a full color light emitting unit. Can be adopted. By changing the light emission color of the composite light emitting unit, it is easy to change the light emission mode according to the change of the light emission color according to the change of the game state of the game board (or the opening / closing of the rotating member 10 in some cases). Becomes In FIG. 9, the same parts as those in FIG. 3 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

Chip-shaped LEs that receive a predetermined amount of power from the wiring boards 206 and 206 and individually illuminate the pair of rotating members 210 and 210 at the front ends of the wiring boards 206 and 206.
D elements 205, 205 (light emitting means) are attached so as to project to the upper surface side. A terminal portion 265 and a lead portion 264 for connecting to a power source are attached to the rear end portion. By inserting and holding the intermediate portion of the wiring boards 206, 206 into the base plate 212, the wiring board 20
6,206 can be supported in a well-balanced manner, and its front and rear parts can be effectively used.

The LED elements 205, 205 are shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the light source of the light emitting means which is located below the rotating members 210, 210 and illuminates the rotating members 210, 210 is constituted, and the effective space in the space below the rotating members 210, 210 is effective. We are trying to use and make the light emitting means more compact. Specifically, on the front side of the base plate 212, a winning opening 207
The flow path of the game ball following is formed and LED
The elements 205 and 205 are located in front of the front surface of the base plate 212 and below the rotating members 210 and 210, and are disposed on the wiring board 2.
It is attached to 06 and 206 (see FIG. 13B). L is covered by the rotating members 210, 210.
Since the game balls do not come into contact with the ED elements 205, 205, even if they are wired on the upper surfaces of the wiring boards 206, 206, the game balls B are conductive and flow down on the front surface side of the base plate 212 by L.
It is possible to prevent the ED elements 205, 205 from malfunctioning.

As shown in FIG. 12B, the wiring board 20
The rear end of 6 is a first recess 243a formed on the front surface side of the first housing 243 (rear support member), and the front end thereof is the rear surface side of the third housing 211 (front support member) as a front decoration part.

By tightening the fastening members 280 and 270, the front and rear ends of the wiring boards 206 and 206 are respectively recessed portions 211b and 2b.
It does not come off from 43a. The third housing 211
On the wall surface of the wiring board 206 in the longitudinal direction (that is, the rotation axis of the rotation members 210, 210 (the rotation member support shaft 21).
1a, 211a)), a guide groove 211d having a U-shaped cross section (see FIG. 10) is integrally formed along the upper surface, the lower surface, and the outer surface of the wiring board 206. In addition, the first housing 243 has an LED
In order to connect the terminal portion 265 connected to the element 205 and a power supply (not shown), an insertion hole 243b for inserting the lead portion 264 (FIG. 10) is formed to penetrate in the front-rear direction.

The optical axes of the LED elements 205, 205 are on the projection plane orthogonal to the rotation axis of the rotation members 210, 210 (rotation member support shafts 211a, 211a) as shown in FIG. The rotating members 210, 210 illuminated by the first and second opening 205, 205 have the above-described first opening mode (see
4 (a)) and the second opening mode (FIG. 14 (b)) so as to overlap (overlap) with the overlapping regions (see regions AL and AR in FIG. 15). With such an arrangement of the optical axes, it is possible to efficiently irradiate the rotating members 210, 210 with light in any of the first and second opening modes.

Further, the rotating members 210, 210 are formed in a box shape with the lower side and the front side opened, and
The inner surfaces of the rotating members 210, 210 are illuminated by the LED elements 205, 205 located below. In this embodiment, the rotation axes of the rotation members 210 and 210 are arranged as shown in FIG. 14 so that the light emitted from the LED elements 205 and 205 can be repeatedly reflected inside the rotation members 210 and 210. On the projection plane orthogonal to the (rotating member support shafts 211a, 211a), the inner surfaces 210x, 210x of the outer shell portions of the rotating members 210, 210 are formed in a curved shape (for example, an R shape) toward the center side as it goes upward. There is. Similarly, as shown in the sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG.
10 rotation axis lines (rotation member support shafts 211a, 211a)
In the projection plane including, the outer shell inner surfaces 210y and 210y of the rotating members 210 and 210 are formed in a curved surface shape (for example, an R shape) that faces the front side as it goes upward.

The inner surfaces 210x, 210x, 210y, and 210y of the outer shells of the rotating members 210 and 210 of the embodiment are used.
Since it is integrally molded with its main body from synthetic resin, metal, ceramic, etc., it also functions as an internal reinforcing rib of the rotating members 210, 210. These outer shell inner surface 21
0x, 210x, 210y, 210y are emitted, fluorescent,
The illuminance of the rotating members 210, 210 can be improved by molding, coating, etc. using a phosphorescent resin, paint or the like. However, the inner surface of the outer shell 210x, 210x, 2
The 10y and 210y may be configured by using, for example, a metal reflection plate (reflecting mirror) having surface gloss separately from the main body of the rotating members 210 and 210.

Here, the positional relationship between the LED elements 205, 205 and the blade members 210, 210 (rotating members) will be described with reference to FIG. 15, which is a further schematic illustration of FIG.
Generally, in a tulip for a game machine, a pair of rotating members are provided with a rotating shaft line (rotating member supporting shafts 211La, 21La, 21La, 21L) that are substantially parallel to each other.
1 Ra) and a pair of blade members 210L and 210R, and a first opening mode (solid line in FIG. 15)
, The opposing surfaces PL, PR of the pair of blade members 210L, 210R are substantially parallel to each other, while the opposing surfaces PL, PR in the second opening mode (phantom line in FIG. 15) sandwich the winning opening 207. (Blade opening angle) α 90 °
It is often set to ≦ α ≦ 180 ° (for example, α≈140 °).

Also in FIG. 15, as in the case of FIG.
The optical axes OL and OR of the elements 205L and 205R are arranged such that the blade members 210L and 210R overlap the regions AL and AR where the blade members 210L and 210R overlap in the first opening mode and the second opening mode. Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the rotating member support shaft 211L
a, a pair of L on the projection plane orthogonal to 211Ra
The angle (optical axis included angle) β formed by the optical axes OL and OR of the ED elements 205L and 205R sandwiching the winning opening 207 is β ≦ 90 °.
And β ≦ α / 2 (eg β≈20 °). At this time, the optical axis included angle β is formed so as to widen upward, and the optical axes OL and OR are each inclined outward. By tilting the optical axes OL and OR to the outer side, it is less likely that the light beam is blocked by the game ball flowing down from the winning opening 207. Also, the optical axes OL, OR
When the light passes through the outside of the rotation member support shafts 211La and 211Ra, the light blocking is further reduced, and the blade members 210L and 2L for both the first and second opening modes.
It becomes easier to brightly illuminate the inner surface of 10R.

As the method of forming the optical axis included angle β as described above, (1) the optical axes OL and O of the LED elements 205L and 205R are formed.
A pair of wiring boards 20 in which R is orthogonal to each LED element mounting surface
6, 206 (FIG. 14) is a method for inclining the LED element mounting surfaces outward with respect to the horizontal plane (FIGS. 14 and 15).
Method); (2) One wiring board 20 having a horizontal LED element mounting surface
6, the optical axis O of the pair of LED elements 205L and 205R
A method of inclining L and OR outwardly with respect to the horizontal plane (LED element mounting surface); In these cases, the wiring board 2
06, 206 or the inclination angles βL, βR of the optical axes OL, OR of the LED elements 205L, 205R, βL ≠ βR and β
L + βR = β may be set. In addition, the LED element 205
L and 205R are moved relative to each other in the front-back direction, and the optical axis O
It is also possible to incline L and OR in the axial direction of the rotating member support shafts 211La and 211Ra.

As is clear from FIG. 15, the pair of blade members 210L and 210L in the first opening mode.
Strictly speaking, the facing surfaces PL and PR of R are not parallel to each other, and are formed so as to narrow slightly toward the upper side.
Such a slight inclination angle (about 1 to 3 °) is obtained when the facing surfaces PL and PR are placed in a geometrically parallel shape in the first opening mode (the state where both blade members 210L and 210R are closed). , The blade members 210L, 210R due to the impact of the weight of the blade members 210L, 210R or the collision of the game balls.
10R is provided so as not to open unexpectedly. Therefore, when calculating the blade opening angle α in the present invention, the existence of such an initial inclination angle is treated as negligible (may be ignored or may be included).

Next, a modification of FIG. 15 will be described.
FIG. 16 shows the facing surfaces PL of the blade members 210L and 210R.
The optical axes OL and OR of the pair of LED elements 205L and 205R are parallel to PR, and at this time, the optical axis included angle β = 0 °. In this type, a pair of LEDs
Since the elements 205L and 205R can be attached to one wiring board 206, the cost can be reduced, and the adjustment is easy because the optical axes OL and OR need only be set in parallel. Furthermore, since the optical axes OL and OR can pass through both the inside and outside of the rotation member support shafts 211La and 211Ra, the degree of freedom of arrangement is great.

In FIG. 17, the optical axis included angle β is formed so as to widen downward, and the optical axes OL and OR are each inclined inward. By inclining the optical axes OL and OR inward, light scattering can be reduced. Further, the optical axes OL and OR are the rotation member support shafts 211La and 21La.
When passing inside 1 Ra, the blade members 210L, 21
Since it becomes easier to illuminate the inner center of the 0R, the blade members 210L and 21L for both the first and second opening modes.
It becomes easier to illuminate the inner surface of 0R brightly.

Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the rotating member support shaft 2
On the projection plane orthogonal to 11La and 211Ra, the optical axis included angle β is initially formed to narrow as it goes upward, and after the optical axes OL and OR of the LED elements 205L and 205R cross each other, the optical axis included angle β is The optical axes OL and OR are formed so as to widen as they go upward, and the optical axes OL and OR can be respectively inclined outward to illuminate the inner surfaces of the blade members 210R and 210L on the other side. This type can be said to be a combination type of FIG. 15 and FIG. 17, and by making the optical axes OL and OR intersect each other on the way, the LED elements 205L and 2
It is also possible to create new interests such as creating mixed colors from 05R. Further, the optical axes OL and OR are the rotation member support shaft 2
When passing the outside of 11La and 211Ra, the optical axis included angle β is formed to be relatively large and the LED elements 205L and 20L
5R can be brought close to the blade members 210R and 210L.

In the type shown in FIG. 18, the optical axis O
When the illuminance is attenuated due to the intersection of L and OR, or when it is desired to avoid mixing of light, the LED elements 205L and 205R are relatively moved in the front-rear direction, or the optical axes OL and OR are rotated member support shafts 211La and 211Ra. The optical axes OL and OR may be prevented from intersecting by inclining in the axial direction of. Further, in all of the embodiments and modified examples according to the present invention, the LED elements 205L and 205R are relatively moved in the front-rear direction, and the optical axes OL and OR are tilted also in the axial direction of the rotating member support shafts 211La and 211Ra. You can

In each of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 15 to 18, the case where a pair of LED elements is provided has been described, but a plurality of pairs (for example, two pairs) of LED elements may be installed. At this time, for example, (1) the optical axis included angle β can be made different for each pair of LED elements. (2) Different types of FIGS. 15 to 18 can be used for each pair of LED elements. (3) The installation position in the front-rear direction can be different for each pair of LED elements. By using these embodiments alone or in combination, for example, a first LED element pair that illuminates the rotating member located in the first opening mode and a rotating member located in the second opening mode are provided. The second LED element pair for illumination can be provided separately, which is effective in further increasing the illuminance of the rotating member and reducing the illuminance difference between the first and second opening modes.
