  The drive mechanism 41 is a mechanism disposed on the back side of the winning device base 37 in a state of covering the link mechanism 40 from the rear, and as shown in FIG. The holder 70 is composed of a drive solenoid (drive source) 71 accommodated in the drive source holder 70. The drive source holder 70 is formed in a state in which a horizontally long drive source accommodation space 72 is recessed forward from the back surface thereof and inclined downward toward the link mechanism 40 side (right side in FIG. 6). The drive solenoid 71 is housed in the housing. Further, a link housing opening 73 penetrating in the front-rear direction is opened at a position located behind the link mechanism 40 in the drive source housing space 72 to communicate with the inclined lower end side of the drive source housing space 72, and the link mechanism The rear end portion of 40, specifically, the first link pin 61 protruding rearward from the first link mechanism 40 faces the drive source accommodating space 72. A locking portion 74 that locks the other end of the urging member 53 is provided on the drive source housing space 72 on the side opposite to the link housing opening 73 (left side in FIG. 6).

  Further, the drive solenoid 71 is accommodated in the drive source accommodation space 72 in a lateral orientation inclined toward the link mechanism 40 side. In addition, the plunger 71a of the drive solenoid 71 is disposed behind the link mechanism 40, a block-like connection member 76 is fixed to the plunger 71a, and a link connection portion 77 is extended upward from the connection member 76. The first link pin 61 is loosely fitted (engaged) with the connecting portion 77.

  In the variable winning device 35 having such a configuration, when the drive solenoid 71 is excited, the plunger 71a contracts and the connection member 76 moves to the center side of the drive source accommodating space 72. Then, the 1st link pin 61, the 1st link member 56, and the 1st rotating shaft 48 rotate to the opening direction A, and the 1st movable piece 38 changes to an open state (refer FIG. 8). When the first link member 56 is rotated in the opening direction A, the engagement pin 67 is moved in the engaged state of the engagement mechanism 58, that is, in the state where the engagement of the engagement pin 67 and the engagement claw 68 is maintained. The engaging claw 68 is pressed to the second rotation shaft 49 side (left side in FIG. 8B). Then, the second link member 57 rotates in the forward direction E, and the engagement receiving portion 65 is pushed downward by the second link pin 64. As a result, the second rotating shaft 49 rotates in the opening direction C while resisting the urging force of the urging member 53, and the second movable piece 39 is converted to the open state. In this way, when the variable winning device 35 drives the first link member 56 by the drive mechanism 41 (drive solenoid 71) and converts the first movable piece 38 to the open state, the first movable piece 38 and the first time. The power generated by the rotation operation of the moving shaft 48 is transmitted to the second link member 57 via the engaging mechanism 58 in the engaged state, and the second movable piece 39 is converted into the open state by the transmitted power. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a drive source for changing the state of the first movable piece 38 and a drive source for changing the state of the second movable piece 39, and the variable winning device 35 can be downsized.

When the excited drive solenoid 71 is demagnetized, the plunger 71 a is extended by the restoring force of the return spring of the drive solenoid 71, and the connection member 76 is moved to one side of the drive source accommodating space 72. Then, the 1st link pin 61, the 1st link member 56, and the 1st rotation axis 48 rotate in the closing direction B, and the 1st movable piece 38 changes to a closed state (refer to Drawing 7). When the first link member 56 rotates in the closing direction B, the engagement pin 67 moves in the direction opposite to the direction in which the engagement pin 67 can be engaged with the engagement claw 68 (the left direction in FIG. 7B). The state where the engaging claw 68 is pressed by the joint pin 67 is released. That is, the engaging pin 67 and the engaging claw 68 are allowed to be separated. As a result, the second link member 57 is allowed to rotate in the reverse direction F. Further, the second link member 57 moves upward in a state where the second link pin 64 and the engagement receiving portion 65 are engaged. The rotation shaft 49 is allowed to rotate in the closing direction D. Therefore, the second rotating shaft 49 is rotated in the closing direction D by the urging force received from the urging member 53, and the second movable piece 39 is converted into the closed state. In this way, when the variable winning device 35 drives the first link member 56 by the drive mechanism 41 (drive solenoid 71) and converts the first movable piece 38 to the closed state, the engagement mechanism 58 converts to the released state. The first movable piece 38 and the second movable piece 39 are prevented from interlocking via the link mechanism 40. Then, the second movable piece 39 is converted into a closed state by the urging force of the urging member 53.
When the first movable piece 38 is converted to the closed state and the second movable piece 39 is converted to the closed state, the engagement mechanism 58 abuts (engages) the engagement pin 67 and the engagement claw 68. To maintain the engaged state.

Next, the operation of the game board 1 provided with the variable winning device 35 will be described. The variable winning device 35 demagnetizes the drive solenoid 71 to convert the first movable piece 38 to the closed state, converts the second movable piece 39 to the closed state, and converts the engagement mechanism 58 to the engaged state. Suppose you are.
In a pachinko gaming machine having the gaming board 1 configured as described above, when a gaming ball is launched from a launching device (not shown), the gaming ball is guided by the guide rail 3 and reaches the upper part of the gaming area 5. After that, when the player moves down the game area 5 while changing the direction by the obstacle nail or the windmill and wins the normal start gate 9, the general winning port 11, and the starting winning port 10, a predetermined prize ball is given to the player. If no prize is won, the game is collected from the out port 14 to the back side of the game board 1. Then, when the game ball wins the universal figure start gate 9, the pachinko gaming machine performs an auxiliary game (general figure variable display game) in the general figure fluctuation display section (not shown), and the result mode of the auxiliary game is " When it is “winning”, the opening / closing member 10a of the start winning opening 10 is opened, and the game ball is converted into a state where it is easy to win the starting winning opening 10.

  When the game ball wins the start winning opening 10, a variable display game (special figure variation display game) is performed on the display unit 7 of the variable display device 6. As a result of this variable display game, when the result mode (display content) on the display unit 7 becomes a special result mode (big win display), the pachinko gaming machine generates a special game state (big hit state) advantageous for the player, A special game is executed by dividing into rounds. At this time, in a certain round, the special winning opening 13 is opened to allow the game ball to be won, the drive solenoid 71 is maintained in a demagnetized state, and the first movable piece 38 of the variable winning device 35 is closed. Maintain and make it impossible to win a prize. Further, the second movable piece 39 is maintained in the closed state by the urging force of the urging member 53, and the second movable piece 39 in the closed state is in front of the first movable piece 38 and in front of the winning opening 36 a of the winning path 36. Cover up. Therefore, the second movable piece 39 can be disposed in front of the first movable piece 38, and the second movable piece 39 can easily prevent an unauthorized member such as a piano wire from reaching the first movable piece 38. From this, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized act of keeping the first movable piece 38 open by an unauthorized member and causing the game ball to be awarded to the variable winning device 35.

  On the other hand, in a specific round in which the big prize opening 13 is not opened, the big prize opening 13 is closed and the variable prize winning device 35 is opened, that is, the drive solenoid 71 is excited to convert the first movable piece 38 into the open state. In addition, the second movable piece 39 is linked to the open state via the link mechanism 40 to enable the game ball to be awarded to the variable winning device 35. At this time, the second movable piece 39 moves in the lateral direction in front of the first movable piece 38 and in front of the winning opening 36a of the winning passage 36, and the opened first moving piece 38 and the opened winning opening 36a. Is exposed forward. Therefore, the state conversion of the variable winning device 35 can be complicated to enhance the decoration effect, and the interest of the game can be improved. Furthermore, the movable pieces 38 and 39 that also function as decorative parts of the variable winning device 35 can be converted in a state where they are arranged in the front and rear, and even in the variable winning device 35 with improved decorativeness, the arrangement space is small.

As a result, the binding force due to the unauthorized member of the second movable piece 39 is not transmitted to the first link member 56. Therefore, regardless of whether the second movable piece 39 is in the open state, the first rotary shaft 48 and the first movable piece 38 can be turned in the closing direction to convert the first movable piece 38 to the closed state. it can. Accordingly, it is possible to eliminate a problem that the first movable piece 38 is illegally operated and is left open, and it is possible to prevent the game ball from winning the variable winning device 35 due to an illegal act.

  By the way, in the above embodiment, the first movable piece 38 is constituted by a rotating member that rotates about the first rotating shaft 48, and the second movable piece 39 rotates about the second rotating shaft 49. Although the rotating member is configured to move, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a first slide mechanism that slides the first movable piece on the game board 1 is provided, the drive mechanism and the first movable piece are connected via the first slide mechanism, and the first movable piece is opened. It may be configured so that it can be converted into a closed state. Alternatively, a second slide mechanism that slides the second movable piece on the game board 1 is provided, and the second movable piece and the first movable piece can be interlocked via the second slide mechanism and the link mechanism. You may comprise so that a movable piece can be converted into an open state and a closed state.

  Further, although the engaging mechanism 58 is configured by the engaging pin 67 provided on the first link member 56 and the engaging claw 68 provided on the second link member 57, the present invention is not limited to this. Any engagement mechanism may be used as long as it can be converted into an engaged state in which the link member and the second link member are engaged and a released state in which the engaged state is released. Furthermore, the link mechanism 40 is not limited to including two link members. In short, when the first movable piece is converted into the open state, the second movable piece is interlocked and converted into the open state, and when the first movable piece is converted into the open state, the first movable piece and the second movable piece Any configuration may be used as long as it is configured to prevent interlocking, and for example, three or more link members may be provided.

  Further, the variable winning device 35 may be placed anywhere as long as it is a position where a game ball flowing down the game area 5 can be won. For example, you may arrange | position to the side part of the variable display apparatus 6, or may arrange | position below the variable display apparatus 6. FIG.
