By being attached, the game area 12 is arranged at a substantially central portion. The decorative mounting substrate 50 is formed of a synthetic resin material, and is provided with a frame portion 51 that projects the display screen of the liquid crystal display 42 in front of the player, and projects forward so as to surround the outer periphery of the frame portion 51. And a hook-like shape provided with a mounting hole 53a for mounting the mounting screw 50a provided at a position which is the outer periphery of the decorative protrusion 52 and the outer peripheral end of the decorative mounting substrate 50. And an attachment portion 53.

  Display windows 54a and 54b are provided at the upper left and right ends of the frame portion 51. The display windows 54a and 54b are provided respectively for the normal symbol display LED 43 and the special symbol display LED 41. Further, warp inlets 55a and 55b for receiving game balls flowing down the game area 12 on the left and right sides of the effect device 40 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the decorative protrusion 52, and the warp inlets 55a and 55b are individually communicated with each other. Warp passages 56a and 56b for guiding the game balls that have entered the warp inlets 55a and 55b downward, and warp outlets 57a and 57b that are downstream ends of the warp passages 56a and 56b, respectively, are formed as decorative protrusions.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the pupil sensors 71 and 72 are configured to irradiate the player's eyeball G with infrared rays as irradiation light S, receive the reflected light H, and receive the reflected light H. From this, the pupil diameter L of the player is measured. The left pupil sensor 71 measures the pupil diameter L of the left eye of the player facing the pachinko machine 1 (game board 4), while the right pupil sensor 72 is a game facing the pachinko machine 1 (game board 4). The pupil diameter L of the right eye of the person is measured.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 6B, the pupil diameter L changes according to the amount of light entering the eye (light intensity). Specifically, when the pupil diameter L2 is used as a reference value and the amount of light is less than the amount of light that is the reference value (light is weak), the pupil diameter L is reduced by the relaxation of the ciliary muscle (eye regulation muscle). By increasing from L2 to the pupil diameter L1, the amount of light entering the eye is adjusted. On the other hand, when the pupil diameter L2 is used as a reference value and the amount of light is greater than the amount of light that is the reference value (the light is strong), the pupil diameter L is reduced from the pupil diameter L2 by contraction of the ciliary muscle (eye regulating muscle). By reducing the pupil diameter to L3, the amount of light entering the eye is adjusted.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the adjustment control of the lighting brightness of the various lamps 27 and 65 according to the change of the pupil diameter L will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 7A, the pupil diameter L of the player is detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72 at the start of the game. In FIG. 7A, the pupil diameter L at the start of the game is shown as the pupil diameter L2 serving as a reference value. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the player's pupil diameter L decreases from the reference pupil diameter L2 to the pupil diameter L3 in a state where the lighting brightness of the various lamps 27 and 65 is not changed, Accordingly, the pupil sensors 71 and 72 output a change from the pupil diameter L2 to the pupil diameter L3 to the sub-integrated substrate 111 (integrated CPU 112) as a detection signal. Receiving this, the sub integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112) determines that the lighting brightness of the various lamps 27 and 65 is dazzling for the player. Then, the sub-integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112) controls the lighting of the frame lamp 27 and the side lamp 65 via the lamp driving board 119, whereby the various lamps 27 and 65 are controlled as shown in FIG. Decrease lighting brightness. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 7D, the pupil diameter L of the player is changed from the pupil diameter L3 to the reference pupil diameter L2 by assuming that the lighting brightness of the various lamps 27 and 65 is appropriately adjusted. Return.

  Next, lighting brightness adjustment control using a relaxation function of the pupil diameter L accompanying a change in the amount of light will be described with reference to FIG. First, at the start of the game, the pupil diameter L of the player is detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72 as shown in FIG. In FIG. 8A, the pupil diameter L at the start of the game is shown as the pupil diameter L2 serving as a reference value. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the player's pupil diameter L increases from the reference pupil diameter L2 to the pupil diameter L1 in a state where the lighting brightness of the various lamps 27 and 65 is not changed, Accordingly, the pupil sensors 71 and 72 output a change from the pupil diameter L2 to the pupil diameter L1 to the sub integrated substrate 111 (integrated CPU 112) as a detection signal. Receiving this, the sub-integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112) determines that the lighting brightness of the various lamps 27 and 65 is dark for the player. Then, the sub-integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112) controls the lighting of the frame lamp 27 and the side lamp 65 via the lamp driving board 119, whereby the various lamps 27 and 65 are controlled as shown in FIG. Increase lighting brightness. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 8D, the pupil diameter L of the player is changed from the pupil diameter L1 to the reference pupil diameter L2 by assuming that the lighting brightness of the various lamps 27 and 65 is appropriately adjusted. Return.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, the contents of control of effect display of the liquid crystal display 42 according to the detection value of the pupil diameter L will be described. In addition, the effect display control of the liquid crystal display 42 shown below is based on the detection signal of the pupil diameter L of the player detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, and the sub-integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112) is the display control board 120. This is performed by controlling the display of the liquid crystal display 42 via the. The display control described below is performed in the effect display accompanying the variation display of the decorative symbol on the liquid crystal display 42 (specifically, the reach until the display result is stopped and displayed after the symbol is displayed in the reach mode. The content of the reach effect is made different according to the value of the pupil diameter L (pupil diameters L1 to L3) of the player detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72. .

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the value of the player's pupil diameter L is detected as the pupil diameter L1 by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, when it is determined that the player feels dazzling, the big hit reliability is 5 % Variation pattern A1, variation pattern B1 with big hit reliability 10%, variation pattern C1 with big hit reliability 30%, variation pattern D1 with big hit reliability 50%, one of the variation patterns for reach production Selected as a variation pattern. Also, when the player's pupil diameter L is detected as the pupil diameter L2 by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, when it is determined that the player does not feel dazzling or dim, a fluctuation of 5% in the big hit reliability Any one of four types of variation patterns A2, variation pattern B2 with big hit reliability 10%, variation pattern C2 with big hit reliability 30%, variation pattern D2 with big hit reliability 50% is a variation pattern for reach production. Selected. When the pupil sensor 71, 72 detects the value of the pupil diameter L of the player as the pupil diameter L3, and determines that the player feels dim, the variation pattern A3 with a big hit reliability of 5% A variation pattern B3 with a big hit reliability of 10%, a variation pattern C3 with a big hit reliability of 30%, and a variation pattern D3 with a big hit reliability of 50% is selected as a variation pattern for reach production. The Here, the big hit reliability is a ratio that becomes a big hit after the fluctuation pattern is executed, and is set by a selection ratio of each fluctuation pattern at the time of the big hit and the loss.

  However, the symbol variation pattern including the reach effect is determined by the CPU 102 mounted on the main control board 101, and the integrated CPU 112 mounted on the sub-integrated substrate 111 actually performs the liquid crystal display based on the determined variation pattern. The variable display mode of symbols to be displayed on the device 42 (including the effect mode such as the reach effect mode) is determined. That is, at the time of reach production, the main control board 101 (CPU 102) has a fluctuation pattern A with a big hit reliability of 5%, a fluctuation pattern B with a big hit reliability of 10%, a fluctuation pattern C with a big hit reliability of 30%, and a big hit reliability of 50%. Any one of four types of variation patterns D is determined.

  When the variation pattern A having a big hit reliability of 5% is determined by the main control board 101 (CPU 102), when the pupil diameter L1 is detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, the reach effect mode of the variation pattern A1 is displayed. When the pupil diameter L2 is detected by the pupil sensors 71, 72, the reach effect mode of the variation pattern A2 is displayed, and when the pupil diameter L3 is detected by the pupil sensors 71, 72, the reach effect mode of the variation pattern A3 is displayed. Further, when the variation pattern B having a big hit reliability of 10% is determined by the main control board 101 (CPU 102), when the pupil diameter L1 is detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, the reach effect mode of the variation pattern B1 is displayed. When the pupil diameter L2 is detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, the reach effect mode of the variation pattern B2 is displayed. When the pupil diameter L3 is detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, the reach effect mode of the variation pattern B3 is displayed.

  Further, when the variation pattern C having the big hit reliability of 5% is determined by the main control board 101 (CPU 102), when the pupil diameter L1 is detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, the reach effect mode of the variation pattern C1 is displayed. When the pupil diameter L2 is detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, the reach effect mode of the variation pattern C2 is displayed. When the pupil diameter L3 is detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, the reach effect mode of the variation pattern C3 is displayed. Further, when the variation pattern D having a big hit reliability of 10% is determined by the main control board 101 (CPU 102), when the pupil diameter L1 is detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, the reach effect mode of the variation pattern D1 is displayed. When the pupil diameter L2 is detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, the reach effect mode of the variation pattern D2 is displayed. When the pupil diameter L3 is detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72, the reach effect mode of the variation pattern D3 is displayed.

  Next, specific reach effects according to the value of the pupil's pupil diameter L (pupil diameters L1 to L3) will be described with reference to FIGS. The liquid crystal display 42 displays left, middle and right decorative symbols 80a to 80c as shown in FIGS. Nine kinds of numerical symbols “1” to “9” are used for the decorative symbols 80 a to 80 c, and these are stored in the display ROM 222 of the display control board 120. When the display CPU 121 of the display control board 120 receives the variable display command of the decorative symbols 80a to 80c from the sub-integrated substrate 111, the display CPU 121 starts the variable display of the decorative symbols 80a to 80c based on the variable display command. In order of left → right → middle, the decorative symbols 80a to 80c are stopped and displayed, and the display results of the decorative symbols 80a to 80c are derived (determined display).

  When the display CPU 121 receives a reach display mode variation display command from the sub-integrated board 111, the left and right decorative symbols 80a and 80c are sequentially stopped and displayed in the same pattern as shown in FIG. This forms a reach aspect. At this time, the left and right decorative symbols 80a and 80c forming the reach mode are moved and displayed in the upper left and right areas of the liquid crystal display 42 with a size slightly reduced as compared with the normal variation, and the middle decorative symbols 80b are displayed. Is displayed in a variably displayed size slightly larger than that at the time of normal fluctuation. Then, the reach effect is executed based on the change display command, and the middle decorative symbol 80b is stopped and displayed by the reach effect, and all the decorative symbols 80a to 80c are stopped and displayed (determined display).

  In the reach effect described below, the character 81 holding the machine gun is displayed in the lower left area of the liquid crystal display 42 in a reach manner, and the character 81 fires a machine gun bullet toward the interior decoration pattern 80c. An example of a machine gun reach effect that displays the variation display of the symbols by destroying the medium decorative symbol 80c is shown. This machine gun reach corresponds to the variation pattern B having the jackpot reliability of 10% among the variation patterns A to D for reach production described above. In other words, a case will be described in which the fluctuation pattern B having a big hit reliability of 10% is determined by the main control board 101 (CPU 102). Although not shown, in the variation pattern A with a big hit reliability of 5%, an effect mode of handgun reach in which the medium decorative design 80c is destroyed by the bullet of the handgun equipped with the character is displayed. In the variation pattern C with a big hit reliability of 30%, a bazooka reach production mode in which the medium decoration symbol 80c is destroyed by a bazooka bullet equipped by the character is displayed. In the variation pattern D with a big hit reliability of 50%, a rocket launcher reach effect mode in which the medium decorative pattern 80c is destroyed by the bullets of the rocket launcher equipped by the character is displayed. That is, by increasing the weapon's destruction power according to the reliability of the reach production (variation patterns A to D), the medium decoration design 80b is easily destroyed and the visual impression of the big hit is visually enhanced. It is a content.

  First, the reach effect mode when the value of the pupil diameter L of the player detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72 is the pupil diameter L1 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 10A, when the pupil diameter L of the player is a pupil diameter L1 larger than the reference value (pupil diameter L2), the pupil sensors 71 and 72 use the value of the pupil diameter L1 as a detection signal. Output to the sub-integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112). Receiving this, the sub integrated substrate 111 (integrated CPU 112) determines that the display brightness of the liquid crystal display 42 is low and dark for the player. Then, the sub-integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112) controls the display of the liquid crystal display 42 in the reach effect mode of the fluctuation pattern B1 based on the fluctuation pattern B determined by the main control board 101 (CPU 102). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the character 81 fires a machine gun bullet toward the medium decorative design 80c, the medium decorative design 80c is destroyed. At this time, the medium decorative design 80c is destroyed. The display is controlled with a strong explosive force (strong display lightness) 82 in accordance with the player who feels that the display lightness is low and dark. That is, based on the fluctuation pattern B determined by the main control board 101 (CPU 102), the sub-integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112) selects the fluctuation pattern B1 that is a reach effect mode with high display brightness (effect mode selection means). . After that, as shown in FIG. 10 (C), when the middle decorative symbol 80b that is the same as the left and right decorative symbols 80a and 80c forming the reach aspect in accordance with the destruction of the medium decorative symbol 80c by the bullet of the machine gun appears. , All the decorative symbols 80a to 80c are stopped and displayed with the same symbol and the big hit is determined (in FIG. 10C), all the decorative symbols 80a to 80c are stopped and displayed with the same symbol of "7" and the big hit is determined. Exemplified case where is confirmed). On the other hand, when the medium decorative design 80c remains without being destroyed despite the machine gun bullet being fired, specifically, the middle decorative design 80b of “6” is destroyed from the state shown in FIG. If the “6” medium decorative pattern 80b as shown in FIG. 10A is left as it is, the medium decorative pattern 80b that is the same as the left and right decorative patterns 80a and 80c forming the reach aspect is caused to appear. Cannot be confirmed, and the loss is confirmed.

  Next, a reach effect mode when the value of the pupil diameter L of the player detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72 is the pupil diameter L2 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 11A, when the player's pupil diameter L becomes the reference value (pupil diameter L2), the pupil sensors 71 and 72 use the sub-integrated substrate 111 (integrated) with the value of the pupil diameter L2 as a detection signal. CPU 112). Receiving this, the sub integrated substrate 111 (integrated CPU 112) determines that the display brightness of the liquid crystal display 42 is appropriate for the player. Then, the sub-integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112) controls the display of the liquid crystal display 42 in the reach effect mode of the fluctuation pattern B2 based on the fluctuation pattern B determined by the main control board 101 (CPU 102). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11B, when the character 81 fires a machine gun bullet toward the medium decorative symbol 80c, the medium decorative symbol 80c is destroyed. At this time, the medium decorative symbol 80c is destroyed. The explosive power (explosive light intensity) is controlled with a moderate explosive power (medium display brightness) 83 according to the player who feels that the display brightness is moderate. That is, based on the fluctuation pattern B determined by the main control board 101 (CPU 102), the sub-integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112) selects the fluctuation pattern B2 that is a reach presentation mode with a medium display brightness (effect mode selection). means). After that, as shown in FIG. 11C, when the left and right decorative symbols 80a and 80c that form the reach aspect in accordance with the destruction of the medium decorative symbol 80c by the machine gun bullet are caused to appear, the middle decorative symbol 80b appears. All the decorative symbols 80a to 80c are stopped and displayed with the same symbol and the big hit is confirmed (in FIG. 11C, all the decorative symbols 80a to 80c are stopped and displayed with the same symbol of "7" and the big hit Exemplified case where is confirmed). On the other hand, when the medium decorative design 80c remains without being destroyed despite the machine gun bullet being fired, specifically, the middle decorative design 80b of “6” is destroyed from the state shown in FIG. If the “6” medium decorative pattern 80b as shown in FIG. 11A remains as it is, the medium decorative pattern 80b that is the same as the left and right decorative patterns 80a and 80c forming the reach aspect is caused to appear. Cannot be confirmed, and the loss is confirmed.

  Next, a reach effect mode when the value of the pupil diameter L of the player detected by the pupil sensors 71 and 72 is the pupil diameter L3 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 12A, when the pupil diameter L of the player is a pupil diameter L3 smaller than the reference value (pupil diameter L2), the pupil sensors 71 and 72 use the value of the pupil diameter L3 as a detection signal. Output to the sub-integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112). Receiving this, the sub integrated substrate 111 (integrated CPU 112) determines that the display brightness of the liquid crystal display 42 is high and dazzling for the player. Then, the sub integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112) controls the display of the liquid crystal display 42 in the reach effect mode of the fluctuation pattern B3 based on the fluctuation pattern B determined by the main control board 101 (CPU 102). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12 (B), the character 81 fires a machine gun bullet toward the medium decorative symbol 80c to destroy the medium decorative symbol 80c. At this time, the medium decorative symbol 80c is destroyed. The display is controlled with a weak explosive force (weak display lightness) 84 in accordance with the player who feels that the display lightness is high and dazzling. That is, based on the fluctuation pattern B determined by the main control board 101 (CPU 102), the sub-integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112) selects the fluctuation pattern B3 that is a reach effect mode with low display brightness (effect mode selection means). . After that, as shown in FIG. 10 (C), when the middle decorative symbol 80b that is the same as the left and right decorative symbols 80a and 80c forming the reach aspect in accordance with the destruction of the medium decorative symbol 80c by the bullet of the machine gun appears. All the decorative symbols 80a to 80c are stopped and displayed with the same symbol, and the big hit is determined (in FIG. 12C), all the decorative symbols 80a to 80c are stopped and displayed with the same symbol of "7" and the big hit Exemplified case where is confirmed). On the other hand, when the medium decorative design 80c remains without being destroyed despite the machine gun bullet being fired, specifically, the middle decorative design 80b of “6” is destroyed from the state shown in FIG. If the middle decorative pattern 80b of “6” as shown in FIG. 12A remains as it is, the middle decorative pattern 80b of the same pattern as the left and right decorative patterns 80a and 80c forming the reach aspect is caused to appear. Cannot be confirmed, and the loss is confirmed.

  The effect display control of the liquid crystal display 42 according to the value of the pupil diameter L described above is performed by the effect display accompanying the variation display of the decorative design on the liquid crystal display 42 (specifically, the design is a reach mode) Is performed during reach effect display until the display result is stopped and displayed), but is not necessarily limited to this configuration. For example, an effect display according to the value of the pupil diameter L described above may be performed as an effect display during the demonstration display. In the above-described embodiment, when the pupil diameter is L1, any one of the four variation patterns A1 to D1 is selected, and when the pupil diameter is L4, the four variation patterns A2 to D2 are selected. When any one of the variation patterns is selected and the pupil diameter is L3, any one of the four variation patterns A3 to D3 is selected. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the display result is a big hit by the main control board 101 (CPU 102) and the variation pattern D is determined, a premium effect (a big hit before the display result is stopped and displayed) is displayed at the pupil diameter L3. The variation pattern D1 may be executed as an effect to be recognized by a person.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, it is possible to reach all the players with appropriate display brightness by individually providing a variation pattern according to the value of the pupil's pupil diameter L (pupil diameters L1, L2, L3). The effect display is configured. Specifically, one of the variation patterns A1, B1, C1, and D1 having a high display brightness is selected for a player with a pupil diameter L1, and a medium display brightness is selected for a player with a pupil diameter L2. Any one of the variation patterns A2, B2, C2, and D2 is selected, and for the player having the pupil diameter L3, one of the variation patterns A3, B3, C3, and D3 having a low display brightness is selected. However, it is not limited to this configuration.

  For example, the types of reach production modes are three: a variation pattern B1 having a high display brightness shown in FIG. 10, a variation pattern B2 having a medium display brightness shown in FIG. 11, and a variation pattern B3 having a low display brightness shown in FIG. Only the type is set as the total variation pattern, and the reliability (appearance ratio) of each variation pattern is set differently according to the pupil diameter L of the player. When the pupil diameter L of the player becomes larger than the reference value (pupil diameter L2) by the detection of the pupil sensors 71 and 72, the player is strong against the display brightness, and therefore the variation pattern By setting B1 to 15% reliability, variation pattern B2 to 10% reliability, and variation pattern B3 to 5% reliability, the reliability of variation pattern B1 with high display brightness is lowered and the appearance ratio is increased.

  Further, when the pupil diameter L of the player becomes the reference value (pupil diameter L2) by detection of the pupil sensors 71 and 72, since the player is moderate with respect to the display brightness, the variation pattern B1 is trusted. By setting the degree of reliability to 50%, the degree of reliability of the fluctuation pattern B2 to 30%, and the degree of reliability of the fluctuation pattern B3 to 10%, the degree of reliability of the fluctuation pattern B1 having a high display brightness is slightly increased to slightly suppress the appearance ratio.

  Further, when the pupil diameter L of the player becomes a pupil diameter L3 smaller than the reference value (pupil diameter L2) by detection of the pupil sensors 71 and 72, the player is weak with respect to the display brightness, so that the variation pattern By setting B1 to 100% reliability, fluctuation pattern B2 to 50% reliability, and fluctuation pattern B3 to 1% reliability, the reliability of fluctuation pattern B1 with high display brightness and medium fluctuation pattern B2 is increased. To reduce the appearance rate of each. That is, the variation pattern B1 appears only as a premium effect (an effect that causes the player to recognize that it is a big hit before the display result is stopped and displayed) and rarely appears. However, with such a configuration, only the variation pattern B3 with a low display brightness appears, and the reach effect becomes ruined. For this reason, in addition to such a configuration, various characters having different reliability levels may be displayed as the notice effect to eliminate the rut.

  In the configuration of such a modification, the variation pattern is determined by the CPU 102 mounted on the main control board 101, and the integrated CPU 112 mounted on the sub-integrated board 111 is actually based on the determined variation pattern. The reach effect mode displayed on the liquid crystal display 42 is determined. In other words, the symbol variable display time including the reach effect is determined on the main control board 101 (CPU 102) side, and the sub-integrated board 111 (integrated CPU 112) receiving this determines the actual reach effect mode. For this reason, it is necessary to set the variation display times of the variation patterns B1 to B3 selected and determined by the sub integrated substrate 111 (integrated CPU 112) to be the same.

  As described above, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, the light intensity of the various lamps 27 and 65 is not appropriate for the player, and when the player's pupil diameter changes to compensate for this, the pupil sensor 71, The change of the pupil diameter of the player is detected by 72, and the light emission of the various lamps 27 and 65 is adjusted to an appropriate brightness for the player. For this reason, it is possible to perform light decoration with appropriate light emission brightness for all players. As a result, it can be avoided that the player is forced to feel uncomfortable during the game by feeling the light emission brightness dazzling, and conversely, the light decoration effect is reduced by feeling the light emission brightness dimmer.

  The pupil sensors 71 and 72 are infrared sensors that irradiate the player's eyeball with irradiation light, receive the reflected light, and measure the player's pupil diameter from the reflected light. Thereby, the change of the pupil diameter of the player can be detected easily and accurately.

  Moreover, the pupil sensors 71 and 72 are provided in a pair of left and right respectively corresponding to the left and right eyes of the player. Thereby, since the change of the pupil diameter can be individually detected for the left and right eyes of the player, the change of the pupil diameter can be detected more reliably.

  The pupil sensors 71 and 72 are arranged in the game area 12. Thereby, since the change of a pupil diameter can be detected from the inside of the game area | region 12 which a player gazes at, the change of a pupil diameter can be detected more correctly and rapidly.

  If the pupil sensors 71 and 72 detect that the pupil diameter is reduced during the light emission of the various lamps 27 and 65, the light emission brightness of the various lamps 27 and 65 is adjusted based on this. As a result, when the amount of light is larger than the amount of light that is the reference value (the light is strong), the human function to reduce the glare of light by reducing the pupil diameter by contraction of the ciliary muscle (eye regulatory muscle) By using the light, the light emission of the various lamps 27 and 65 can be adjusted to an appropriate brightness for the player.

  Further, when the pupil sensors 71 and 72 detect that the pupil diameter is increased during the light emission of the various lamps 27 and 65, the light emission brightness of the various lamps 27 and 65 is adjusted based on this. As a result, when the amount of light is less than the reference amount of light (light is weak), the human function to reduce the darkness of the light by increasing the pupil diameter by relaxing the ciliary muscle (regulatory muscle of the eye) By using the light, the light emission of the various lamps 27 and 65 can be adjusted to an appropriate brightness for the player.

  In addition, a liquid crystal display 42 that is arranged in the game area 12 and displays an effect associated with the game and displays a determination result by the winning determination means, and a display that displays a variation of the symbol based on the determination result of the winning determination means. The display result of the symbol corresponding to the determination result is stopped and displayed after a predetermined period of time, and the display result of the identification information is used as the specific display result when the winning determination means determines that a profit should be given to the player Display control means for stopping display. Thereby, it is possible to make the player recognize whether or not the profit grant state is controlled based on the display result of the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display 42.

  In addition, there is provided a big prize opening device 60 having a big prize opening 61 through which a large number of game balls can be won by shifting from the closed state to the opened state when controlled to the big hit gaming state. Thereby, it is possible to give the player as a big hit gaming state that a large amount of prize balls are paid out to the player in accordance with winning in the big winning opening 61.

  Further, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, the pupil diameter of the player who plays the game facing the pachinko machine 1 is detected by the pupil diameter sensors 71 and 72. Then, the reach effect is executed in the reach effect mode in which the display brightness is appropriate for the player based on the detected pupil diameter value of the player. For this reason, reach effect display can be performed with an appropriate display brightness for all players. As a result, the player is forced to feel uncomfortable during the game by feeling the display brightness dazzling, and conversely, the effect of the reach effect display by the liquid crystal display 42 is reduced by feeling the display brightness dim. Can be avoided.

  The pupil diameter sensors 71 and 72 are configured by infrared sensors that irradiate the player's eyeball with irradiation light, receive the reflected light, and measure the player's pupil diameter from the reflected light. Thereby, the value of the pupil diameter of the player can be detected easily and accurately.

  Further, the pupil diameter sensors 71 and 72 are provided in a pair of left and right respectively corresponding to the left and right eyes of the player. Thereby, since the value of the pupil diameter can be detected individually for the left and right eyes of the player, the value of the pupil diameter can be detected more reliably.

  Moreover, the pupil diameter sensors 71 and 72 are disposed in the vicinity of the liquid crystal display 42. Thereby, the value of the pupil diameter can be detected at a position close to the display screen of the liquid crystal display 42 visually recognized by the player, so that the value of the pupil diameter can be detected more accurately and quickly.

  Further, when the pupil diameter sensor 71, 72 detects the pupil diameter of the player with a value larger than the reference value, a reach effect mode with high display brightness is selected based on this. That is, when it is detected by the pupil diameter sensors 71 and 72 that the pupil diameter of the player is larger than the reference value, it is determined that the display brightness of the liquid crystal display 42 feels low and dim for the player. And based on this, by executing the reach effect in the reach effect mode with high display brightness, the reach effect display can be performed with the appropriate brightness for the player.

  When the pupil diameter sensors 71 and 72 detect the player's pupil diameter with a value smaller than the reference value, the reach effect mode with low display brightness is selected based on the detected pupil diameter. That is, when the pupil diameter sensors 71 and 72 detect that the player's pupil diameter is smaller than the reference value, it is determined that the display brightness of the liquid crystal display 42 is high and dazzling for the player. And based on this, by executing the reach effect in the reach effect mode with a low display brightness, the reach effect display can be performed with an appropriate brightness for the player.

  Further, when the pupil diameter of the player is detected as a reference value by the pupil diameter sensors 71 and 72, a reach effect mode with a medium display brightness is selected based on this. That is, when it is detected by the pupil diameter sensors 71 and 72 that the pupil diameter of the player is the reference value, it is determined that the display brightness of the liquid crystal display 42 is appropriate for the player. Based on this, by executing the reach effect in the reach effect mode with the medium display brightness, the reach effect display can be performed with an appropriate brightness for the player.
