And the initial distance between the display screen and the display screen in the front-rear direction so as not to overlap when viewed from the front. The movable body is moved so as to overlap with the viewable region when viewed from the front, and is moved rearward so that the distance in the front-rear direction from the display screen is closer to the predetermined distance. And butterflies. Here, the predetermined distance refers to a distance that can cause a phenomenon in which the effect image is viewed with a deviation from the movable body when viewed from the player during the integrated production.

  According to the present invention, when executing an integrated effect combining a movable body and an effect image, the movable body is moved so as to overlap the viewable area of the display screen in front view, and before and after the movable body and the display screen. Compared to moving the movable body along the vertical direction while leaving the separation distance between the movable body and the display screen to move the movable body closer to the display screen so that the separation distance in the direction is less than the predetermined distance. Thus, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the effect image at the time of the integrated effect is viewed with a deviation from the movable body. Therefore, the effect image can be easily visually recognized at the target position with respect to the movable body, and the integrated effect can be made visible to the player without a sense of incongruity. Improve the fun of gaming.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the movable body includes a display window portion from which the effect image can be visually recognized from the front, and when the integrated effect is executed, the movable window can be visually recognized by the display window portion. While moving from the state which does not overlap an area | region to the state which overlaps, the said effect image can be set as the structure displayed on the back of the said display window part.

  With such a configuration, since the effect image is visually recognized through the display window portion of the movable body in the integrated effect, the movable object and the effect image are as if the effect image is a part of the movable object. It is possible to execute a production with a high sense of unity (integrated production) and to enhance the interest of the integrated production.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the movable body that is different from the movable body does not overlap the viewable area with the movable body that is initially disposed so as not to overlap with the viewable region. The distance between the display screen and the display screen in the direction is initially set to be less than the predetermined distance, and the other movable body is moved so as to overlap with the viewable region when viewed from the front. It can be set as the structure which can display an effect image on the said display screen according to the position of a movable body.

  With such a configuration, the movable body (hereinafter referred to as “first movable body”) is displayed by the amount of the other movable body (hereinafter referred to as “second movable body”). When it is necessary to provide a distance in the front-rear direction between the screen and the screen, it is moved backward to bring the distance in the front-rear direction from the display screen closer to a predetermined distance in the integrated production. It is possible to reduce the possibility that the effect image at the time of the integrated effect is viewed with a deviation from the first movable body. Therefore, both when the effect image is displayed in accordance with the second movable body and when the effect image is displayed in accordance with the first movable body, the effect image is displayed on the first movable body or the second movable body. Therefore, it is easy to be visually recognized at the intended position, and the integrated effect can be an effect with good design that can be visually recognized by the player without a sense of incongruity.

  Next, operation | movement of the raising / lowering movable body apparatus 70 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated based on FIGS.

  In the initial arrangement before the operation, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. It is arranged at the height position. When this is viewed from the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the lifting member 71 is a portion shown by shading in FIG. 1, that is, a region S (hereinafter referred to as “visible region”) that is visible from the front of the display screen 42a. It is arranged below the viewable region S without overlapping when viewed from the front. Further, in this initial arrangement state, the elevating member 71 is arranged such that the distance in the front-rear direction from the display screen 42a is L1 (see FIG. 9). Here, the separation distance L1 (corresponding to a predetermined distance) is visually recognized as the effect image 44 is shifted with respect to the elevating member 71 as shown in FIG. The distance at which the phenomenon can occur. In this initial arrangement state, the elevating member 71 is substantially hidden behind the stage portion 32 when viewed from the front side of the game board 2 (see FIG. 1).

  From this state, when a predetermined reach effect using the lift movable body device 70 is selected by the effect control board 22 and the electric motor 93 is driven (forward rotation) based on a signal from the lamp control board 24, the lift member 71 is guided by the guide member 84 and rises obliquely rearward (in the direction indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 7) to be in the state shown in FIG.

  More specifically, when the electric motor 93 is driven (forward rotation), the drive gear 94 rotates in the direction of the arrow as shown in FIG.

The effect image 44 that matches the selected reach effect is displayed. In the embodiment, the effect image 44 is a character image representing the line of the character appearing in the effect, and is displayed behind the display window 73 of the elevating member 71. For this reason, the player visually recognizes the effect image 44 through the display window 73. Note that the effect of displaying the effect image 44 on the display screen 42a in accordance with the position where the movable body such as the elevating member 71 has moved is referred to as an integrated effect. The pachinko gaming machine 1 notifies the player of the lottery result, the jackpot expectation degree, and the like by this integrated production.

  Here, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment, the separation distance in the front-rear direction between the raised elevating member 71 and the display screen 42a is as small as L2 (see FIG. 9). Therefore, as shown in FIG. Even when the display screen 42a is viewed diagonally without facing the display screen 42a, all the character images that are the effect images 44 are visually recognized in the display window portion 73 and And will not be seen. The elevating member 71 is lifted along the vertical direction with the separation distance from the display screen 42a being L1 (see FIG. 9), and the image display device 42 displays the effect image 44 behind the display window 73. In this case, when the player visually recognizes the display screen 42a obliquely, the first character of the character image as the effect image 44 is hidden behind the peripheral frame 75 of the display window 73 as shown in FIG. A phenomenon that cannot be visually recognized occurs. In other words, the effect image 44 is viewed with a deviation from the lifting member 71, and the desired designability cannot be satisfied as the integrated effect.

  After executing the integrated effect, the electric motor 93 is reversed based on the signal from the lamp control board 24, and the elevating member 71 is lowered from the position shown in FIG. 8 to the initial arrangement position shown in FIG. Specifically, when the electric motor 93 is reversed, the members 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 102, 106 of the elevating member driving mechanism 92 are opposite to those when the elevating member 71 is raised. In order to rotate in the direction (indicated by the arrow in FIG. 8), the elevating member 71 descends downward in the direction indicated by the arrow b in FIG. 9, that is, diagonally downward and forward, and the separation distance from the display screen 43a is again L1. And

  Next, an integrated effect using the openable / closable movable body device 50 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the initial arrangement before the operation, the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52 are in a visible area S of the display screen 42a in front of the image display device 42 (see FIG. 1), as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Are arranged on the left and right sides of Further, in this initial arrangement state, the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52 are arranged such that the distance in the front-rear direction from the display screen 42a is L3, as shown in FIG. Arranged in the direction. Here, the separation distance L3 has substantially the same dimension as the separation distance L2 between the raised elevating member 71 and the display screen 42a. In this initial arrangement state, the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52 are hidden behind the right decorative member 40 and the game board 2 itself when viewed from the front side of the game board 2 and are not visible to the player (FIGS. 1 and 13). reference).

  From this state, when a predetermined reach effect using the opening / closing movable body device 50 is selected by the effect control board 22 and the electric motor 65 is driven (normally rotated) based on a signal from the lamp control board 24, FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52 move rightward or leftward so as to approach each other, resulting in the state shown in FIG. 12.

  Specifically, when the electric motor 65 is driven (forward rotation), as shown in FIG. 5, each gear (drive gear 66, first step gear 67, large second step gear 68, cylindrical shape) The gear 69) rotates sequentially in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure. Since the upper and lower rack members 58 and 59 mesh with the front gear portion 69b of the cylindrical gear 69, the upper rack member 58 slides to the right along the upper guide rod 56, and the lower side The rack member 59 slides to the left along the lower guide rod 57 and moves the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52 so as to approach each other. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52 form a temporary surface by bringing the inner side surfaces into contact with each other at a substantially central position in the left-right direction of the display screen 42 a.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, the image display device 42 generates a signal from the image control board 23 that has received a signal from the effect control board 22 in accordance with the movement of the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52. Based on this, the display image 42a displays an effect image 45 that matches the selected reach effect. In the embodiment, an effect image representing a person's face is displayed as the effect image 45, and the effect image 45 is displayed before the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52 are moved. An integrated effect is performed as if 45 persons wore masks. Here, the separation distance in the front-rear direction of the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52 and the display screen 42a is set to L3 (see FIG. 9) which is the same as the separation distance L2 from the lifting member 71 after the upward movement. Therefore, even when the player does not face the display screen 42a and views the display screen 42a obliquely, the effect image 45 is shifted with respect to the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52. Not visible.

  After executing the integrated effect, the electric motor 65 is reversed based on a signal from the lamp control board 24, and the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52 are initially arranged from the positions shown in FIG. Move to position. Specifically, when the electric motor 65 is reversed, each member 58, 59, 66, 67, 68, 69 of the opening / closing member drive mechanism 64 is in a direction opposite to that when forming the mask (as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 12). The left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52 move away from the center of the display screen 42a to the left and right, and become invisible again from the player side.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment, when executing the integrated effect combining the lifting member 71 and the effect image 44, the separation distance between the lifting member 71 and the display screen 42a is the same as that at the time of initial arrangement. In order to bring the elevating member 71 closer to the display screen 42a so that L2 (see FIG. 9) is smaller than L1 (see FIG. 9), the elevating member 71 and the display screen 42a are separated from the separation distance L1. The resulting image 44 does not shift with respect to the lifting member 71 (see B in FIG. 11), and the effect image 44 is visually recognized at the target position with respect to the lifting member 71 (see FIG. 11). A). Therefore, since the integrated effect can be made an effect that the player can visually recognize without a sense of incongruity, the design of the integrated effect can be improved and the interest of pachinko games can be improved.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, in the integrated production, the production image 44 is displayed on the rear side of the display window 73 of the lifting member 71 as shown in FIG. It will be visually recognized through the display window 73, and an effect (integrated effect) as if the effect image 44 is a part of the elevating member 71 can be provided. Therefore, the integrated effect can be a highly interesting effect with a high sense of unity between the lifting member 71 and the effect image 44.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment includes a left opening member 51 and a right opening member 52 that move in the left-right direction, in addition to the lifting member 71 that moves in the up-down direction, as a movable body used for the integrated performance. Therefore, the variation of integrated production can be increased. And when arrange | positioning several movable bodies 71,51,52 with respect to a pachinko game machine in this way, one movable body (in the embodiment, raising / lowering member 71) is moved away from the display screen 42a ahead. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment, the lifting member 71 arranged away from the display screen 42a is separated from the display screen 42a in the front-rear direction by a distance L1 at the time of initial arrangement. Therefore, in the integrated production, the production image 44 is less likely to be visually recognized as being shifted with respect to the elevating member 71. That is, even when the integrated effect is executed using the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52 having a small separation distance L3 from the display screen 42a in advance, the lifting member having a large separation distance L1 from the display screen 42a. Even in the case where an integrated effect is executed using 71, each effect image 44, 45 is easily visually recognized at the intended position with respect to each movable body 71, 51, 52. It can be set as a design with good design that can be visually recognized by a person.

2. Modifications As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various configurations can be adopted without departing from the scope of the claims. In the description of the modified example, the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  For example, in the embodiment, the integrated effect has been described as an effect of displaying the effect image 44 behind the display window 73 of the elevating member 71. However, as shown in FIG. Thus, the effect image 46 may be displayed around the elevating member 71. Even in the case where the effect image 46 is displayed around the elevating member 71 as described above, since the separation distance between the elevating member 71 that has moved up and the display screen 42a is L2 (see FIG. 9), the effect image 46 is displayed. Is not visually recognized as being shifted with respect to the elevating member 71, and an integrated production with good design can be obtained. When the distance between the lift member 71 that has moved up and the display screen 42a is L1 (see FIG. 9), part of the effect image 46 overlaps the lift member 71 as shown in FIG. 14B. Thus, good visual recognition of the effect image 46 is hindered.

  In the embodiment, the movable lifting device 70 is configured to guide the upward and backward movement of the lifting member 71 by engaging the slider portions 79 and 83 with the guide groove portions 86 and 88. Even if the guide mechanisms 79, 83, 86, 88 are not provided, the elevating member 71 may be configured to be movable obliquely upward and rearward from the initial arrangement position using a link mechanism as shown in FIG. In this case, one link member 110 is provided on each side surface of the elevating member 71, and each link member 110, 110 has one end portions 110 a, 110 a of the swing arms 102, 106 on both side surfaces of the elevating member 71. The other end portions 110b and 110b are pivotally supported on the fixed side which is the base frame body 36 side. And if the electric motor 93 is driven, each link member 110,110 will rotate in the direction of the illustrated arrow centering on the base end 110b, 110b, so that the elevating member 71 is the same as in the embodiment. It is possible to ascend while reducing the distance in the front-rear direction from the display screen 42a.

  In the embodiment, the elevating member 71 is initially arranged below the display screen 42a so as to move upward. However, the movable body used for the integrated effect has a separation distance L1 from the display screen 42a after the movement. The position of the initial arrangement, the trajectory of movement, and the like can be freely changed as long as the movement is reduced to less.

  In the embodiment, the left opening / closing member 51 and the right opening / closing member 52 are disposed between the lifting member 71 and the display screen 42a in the front-rear direction. However, the space between the lifting member 71 and the display screen 42a is not limited. Instead of the opening and closing members 51 and 52, other movable objects, fixed objects, etc. may be arranged, or the arrangement may be made without arranging anything.
