Further, in the spraying step, for example, by using a mask, a portion where there is no fiber-like flock 12 and the outer surface (surface) of the character body 25a is exposed is provided, and light is directly emitted from the outer surface (surface) of the character body 25a. It can also be made to diverge.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a circular pedestal 11 is provided on the frame portion 21 a of the liquid crystal display device 21, and the lower portion is fixed on the circular pedestal 11 with the character image 25 standing upright. ing. The character image 25 in this state incorporates a lamp 15 (see FIG. 3) as a light emitter. A face gear 20 is fixed coaxially with the circular pedestal 11 at a lower portion of the outer peripheral edge of the circular pedestal 11. A pulse motor 17 for rotating the character image 25 is fixed on the gaming machine main body side, and a pinion gear 19 fixed to the rotation shaft 17a of the pulse motor 17 is engaged with the face gear 20.

  And the said face gear 20 and the circular base 11 are supported so that it can rotate integrally with respect to the frame part 21a. Therefore, when the pulse motor 17 is rotationally driven in response to an operation signal transmitted from the effect control means 36 described later, the rotation is transmitted to the circular pedestal 11 and the character image 25 via the pinion gear 19 and the face gear 20. The

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the effect actor 10 includes an outward reflector 37 disposed so as to surround the character image 25. The outward reflector 37 has a semi-cylindrical shape including an opening 37b and a curved surface portion 37a whose entire inner surface is mirror-like. The character image 25 is covered by the curved surface portion 37a on the rear side of the gaming machine main body, and from the opening 37b. The character image 25 is configured to open to the front of the gaming machine body. As a result, the light emitted from the rotating character image 25 can be effectively diffused by the outer reflector 37 around the character image 25. Therefore, the effect of light can be further enhanced.

  In addition, the outer reflector 37 is provided with a light emitting diode (LED) 29 as a light emitter so as to be positioned on the rear side of the gaming machine main body of the character image 25. That is, the substrate 27 is erected on the back side of the outer reflector 37, and a plurality of (for example, five) LEDs 29 are mounted on the substrate 27 in the vertical direction. The substrate 27 is electrically connected to the sub-substrate 31 side described later via a wiring (not shown).

  In the outer reflector 37, the same number of light irradiation holes 38 are penetrated at positions facing the LEDs 29. In the present embodiment, for example, five LEDs 29 and light irradiation holes 38 are described. However, the number of these is not limited to this, and it is needless to say that fewer or more than five may be provided. As described above, the LED 29 is provided on the outer reflector 37 so as to be located on the rear side of the gaming machine main body of the character image 25, so that the light emitted from the character image 25 itself and the character image from the rear side of the gaming machine main body are displayed. More various effects can be obtained by the combination with the light irradiated to 25.

  In addition, when the effect agent 10 performs a jackpot notice operation selected by the effect selection means 34 to be described later, an effect signal corresponding to the notice action is transmitted from the effect signal output means 35, and according to this, the effect control means 36 emits the effect signal. In response to the actuated signal, after the character image 25 starts to rotate around the axis a, the front of the character faces the front of the gaming machine body when the reliability corresponding to the selected jackpot notice operation is highest. When the reliability is the lowest, the character is operated so that the back of the character faces the front of the gaming machine main body.

  Next, the control system of the pachinko machine 1 in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. That is, this control system has a main board (main control board) 30 and a sub board (sub control board) 31 connected to the main board 30, and the sub board 31 includes a sound emitting device. 8. The lighting device 23 for production, the liquid crystal display device 21, the lamp 15, the LED 29, and the pulse motor 17 are connected.

  The main board 30 manages the entire operation of the pachinko machine 1, and a storage unit made up of a system program for managing the entire operation of the pachinko machine 1 and a semiconductor memory or the like in which a game execution program is stored in advance. (Not shown) and a microprocessor (MPU) for executing these programs. The main board 30 includes a winning determination unit 32 and a winning signal output unit 33.

  The winning determination means 32 is used when the game ball launched into the game board surface portion 7 by the launching device (not shown) operated by operating the launch handle 9 wins (enters) the start chucker 50. Judged as winning.

  The winning signal output means 33 outputs a winning signal when the winning determination means 32 determines the winning to the start chucker 50.

  In the sub-board 31, in accordance with an effect control signal supplied from the microprocessor in the main board 30, appropriate means including an mounted electric circuit can be used for the sound emitting device 8, the effect lighting device 23, and the liquid crystal display device 21. In order to appeal to the player's visual and auditory sense by driving timely, it functions to perform special effects at normal times and special effects at the time of big hits by sound or light. The sub-board 31 also includes an effect selection means 34, an effect signal output means 35, and an effect control means 36, and controls the lamp 15, the LED 29, the sound emitting device 8 and the pulse motor 17 by these means 34 to 35, and hits the jackpot. Functions to perform a warning action.

  When receiving the winning signal output from the winning signal output means 33, the effect selecting means 34 selects from among a plurality of effect patterns prepared in advance in a table (not shown). In the selection, any one of the production patterns is not necessarily selected, and any production pattern may not be selected. In this case, the production of the production actor 10 is not performed.

  In addition, in order to increase the player's expectation for the jackpot and improve the gameability, the above-mentioned performance pattern has different light emission states (lighting, blinking, intensity of light) of the lamp 15 and / or the LED 29, and the sound emitting device 8. Are formed as a plurality of patterns obtained by variously combining different sound emission states (continuous ringing, intermittent ringing, sound intensity), and the rotation speed and stop state (stop angle) of the character image 25 by the pulse motor 17.

  The effect signal output means 35 outputs an effect signal corresponding to the effect pattern selected by the effect selection means 34.

  The effect control means 36 causes the lamp 15 and / or the LED 29 to emit light so that the selected effect pattern is set in advance based on the input effect signal, and causes the sound emitting device 8 to emit sound, thereby generating a pulse. The motor 17 is rotated to drive the character image 25 in a predetermined direction at a required speed, and then stopped in a predetermined state (angle). That is, the effect control means 36 controls the drive signal to the lamp 15, the LED 29 and the sound emitting device 8 in accordance with the selected effect pattern, and adjusts the number of pulses given to the pulse motor 17 per second so that the character image. After the rotation speed of 25 is increased or decreased according to the level of reliability, the pulse motor 17 is controlled so that the character image 25 stops at the angle set in the effect pattern.

  Specifically, when performing the jackpot notice operation along the effect pattern selected by the effect selection means 34, the effect control means 36 starts rotating the character image 25 of the effect actor 10 around the axis a. After that, when the reliability corresponding to the selected jackpot notice operation is the highest, the front of the character is stopped so as to face the front of the gaming machine main body, and when the reliability is the lowest, the rear of the character is stopped so as to face the front of the gaming machine main body. It is controlled like this. The effect control means 36 also controls to stop the character front face away from the front of the gaming machine main body when the reliability in the selected effect pattern is between the highest time and the lowest time.

  It should be noted that the effect selection means 34, the effect signal output means 35, and the effect control means 36 are used to select and activate the jackpot notice operation to be performed by the effect actor 10 using a winning (entering ball) to the starting chucker 50 as a trigger. Game control means for performing control is configured.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described. That is, when a player seated on the pachinko machine 1 grasps the launch handle 9 and rotates it to an appropriate angle, the game ball is directed toward the game board surface portion 7 at a predetermined interval by the operation of the launch device (not shown). Fired continuously. Then, when the game ball launched on the game board surface portion 7 enters the starter chucker 50 via a stage (not shown), the winning determination means 32 provided on the main board 30 determines that it is a winning, Accordingly, the winning signal output means 33 outputs a winning signal.

  And the effect selection means 34 which input the said winning signal performs selection from the some effect pattern prepared beforehand in the table (not shown). As a result, for example, when any one of the production patterns is selected, the liquid crystal display device 21 starts the design variation production under the control of appropriate means including the electric circuit of the sub-board 31, and the production signal output unit 35 selects the production pattern. In response to this, the effect control means 36 causes the lamp 15 and / or the LED 29 to emit light according to the selected effect pattern, and causes the sound emitting device 8 to emit sound, The pulse motor 17 is rotated to drive the character image 25 in a predetermined direction at a required speed. At this time, the character image 25 immediately before the start of rotation is in a state (see FIG. 1) in which the character front is directed to the player side, so that the design is improved. Then, the effect control means 36 rotates the character image 25 for a predetermined time, and then stops at a predetermined angle corresponding to the selected effect pattern.

  When the production of the selected pattern is started, the player has a sense of expectation that he / she may win a big moment at the moment of recognizing the light emission start of the lamp 15 and / or the LED 29 and the rotation start of the character image 25, When the rotation speed of the character image 25 is fast, attention is paid to the effect by the effect agent 10 while further expanding the expectation. Then, when the character image 25 stops, for example, with the character front facing the player side, the player recognizes that the reliability is the highest, and the symbol variation on the liquid crystal display device 21 stops with a big hit. Look closely while expecting. At this time, if the player wins the jackpot lottery performed separately on the main board 30 when winning the starting chucker 50, the player wins the game as expected by the player.

  On the other hand, when the character image 25 stops, for example, with the back of the character facing the player, the player continues to play the game while observing the symbol variation on the liquid crystal display device 21 while recognizing that the reliability is the lowest. It will be. However, even in this case, if the big win is won in the lottery separately performed on the main board 30 when winning the starting chucker 50, the result will be a big hit despite the announcement of the lowest reliability, This will give the player even greater joy.

  When the front of the character is stopped so as to be separated from the front of the gaming machine body, the player recognizes that the reliability is between the highest and the lowest, and plays the game while observing the pattern variation on the liquid crystal display device 21. Will continue. Thereby, the expression for the player of the reliability of the jackpot notice is diversified.

  Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 1 in the above-described embodiment, the director 10 that performs various jackpot notice operations different for each reliability is a character in which the fiber body 12 is provided on the outer surface of the character body 25a made of a light transmitting material. Since it has an image 25 and is configured to rotate while applying light from the inside of the character main body 25a to the fiber-like flock 12, it is possible to have only one lamp 15 in the character main body 25 a and to transmit the light into a fiber shape. The hair transplantation 12 can be guided well to the outer surface of the character main body to make the character image 25 itself emit light to enhance the effect, and when the character image 25 has an animal shape, its appearance is improved.

  Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of lamps as light sources as much as possible, reduce the man-hours for mounting the mounting substrate and the electrical components, and reduce the unit cost as much as possible. When the director 10 performs the jackpot warning operation, the character image 25 starts rotating around the axis a, and then the front of the character is a gaming machine when the reliability corresponding to the selected jackpot warning operation is highest. Since the character back is stopped so that it faces the front of the main body and the character back faces the front of the gaming machine main body when the reliability is the lowest, the reliability of the big hit is high and low while effectively utilizing the narrow space of the game board surface portion 7. (I.e., when a chance and no chance) can be shown to the player for a clearer understanding.

  Further, the effect selection means 34, the effect signal output means 35 and the effect control means 36 as the game control means adjust the number of pulses given to the pulse motor 17 for rotating the character image 25 per second to rotate the character image 25. Since the speed is controlled to increase / decrease according to the reliability level, the high / low change of the rotation speed until the character image 25 stops is added to the high / low expression of the reliability according to the stop angle of the character image 25. The reliability expression is further diversified.

  In the present embodiment, it has been described that the reliability is highest when the character image 25 is stopped so that the front of the character is directed to the front of the gaming machine body. It is also possible to configure so as to display (big hit confirmed).

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on the suitable embodiment, the game machine of this invention is not limited only to the structure of the said embodiment, A various correction and change from the structure of the said embodiment. The gaming machine which has been subjected to is also included in the scope of the present invention.

It is a front view which shows the external structure of the pachinko machine in embodiment of this invention. It is a side view which expands and shows the production | presentation actor in this embodiment. It is a block diagram which shows the control system of a pachinko machine.
