It can be inserted into the rotating groove 82d. When the transmission portion 67f of the connecting member 67 inserted in the rotation groove portion 82d rotates (moves) in a predetermined direction, the auxiliary decoration body 82 is attached to the mounting projection 64e of the movable body 64. It is rotatable around the part 82a (see FIG. 9).

  In the movable effect device 50 having such a configuration, the movable body 64 (dragon decorative member 80) moves while changing its direction so as to draw a locus indicated by arrows 101 to 104 in FIG. Will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the first sliding portion 65 of the movable body 64 is located at the left end 62 e of the first guiding portion 62 of the base member 61 and the second sliding portion of the movable body 64. The moving portion 66 is located at the left end 63 a of the second guide portion 63 of the base member 61. The position of the movable body 64 (dragon decoration member 80) at this time with respect to the base member 61 is defined as a first position P1 (see FIG. 2). In the first position P1, the connecting member 67 is attached by pulling (biasing) the urging spring 68 attached between the spring locking piece 67d and the spring locking piece 64g of the movable body 64. The hole 67c is pulled so as to rotate downward about the mounting convex portion 64f of the movable body 64 that is pivotally supported. In this case, the connecting member 67 is arranged so as to overlap the front surface side of the movable body 64, but both are provided with portions that do not overlap each other, and the portion of the connecting member 67 that does not overlap with the movable body 64 is covered. By providing the contact portion 67g, when the contact convex portion 61c of the base member 61 comes into contact with the contacted portion 67g and the contacted portion 67g is pressed, the movable body 64 does not get in the way and is connected to the connecting member 67. Is configured to be displaceable.

  Due to the downward turning force of the connecting member 67 due to the biasing of the biasing spring 68 as described above, the transmission portion 67f inserted into the rotation groove portion 82d of the sub decorative body 82 pulls the rotation groove portion 82d downward. Since it is in a state, the secondary decorative body (lower jaw) 82 is held so as to abut on the decorative main body (upper jaw) 81 (close the mouth of the dragon decorative member 80) as shown in FIG. Has been. Note that such a state in which the auxiliary decorative body (lower jaw) 82 is in contact with the decorative main body (upper jaw) 81 (when the mouth of the dragon decorative member 80 is closed) is a movable body as shown in FIG. The contacted portion 67g of the connecting member 67 moved together with 64 is held until the contacted portion 61g of the base member 61 contacts and is pressed.

  Further, at the first position P1, the position detecting projection 73d of the rotating member 73 fixed to the drive shaft 74a of the motor 74 so as to be integrally rotatable is connected to the initial position detecting switch 77 of the sensor substrate 76. FIG. 5A shows the rotating member 73 by the motor 74 with this state as an initial position (origin or reference position) so as to block transmission / reception of the opposite detection unit 77a. 9 to rotate from the posture to the posture shown in FIG. 9 (a) clockwise by a predetermined angle, or conversely to rotate from the posture shown in FIG. 9 to the posture shown in FIG. 5 by a predetermined angle counterclockwise. However, the game machine 1 is controlled by a control circuit.

  Next, the game state is changed such that the game ball is won in the winning device and the display pattern is reached in the display unit 17a, and the control circuit provided in the gaming machine 1 causes the motor 74 of the movable effect device 50 to be turned on. When a command to drive is generated, the control circuit rotates the motor 74.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, when the rotation member 73 is rotated clockwise in front view by driving the motor 74, the rotation arm portion 72b of the swing arm 72 is accordingly attached to the mounting cylinder portion 72d. The rotation starts to the right with the (mounting convex portion 61d) as the center. At this time, the movable body 64 starts moving together with the connecting member 67 by the connecting arm 71 that connects the mounting hole 72c at the tip of the rotating arm portion 72b and the mounting convex portion 64f of the movable body 64. At this time, the first sliding portion 65 of the movable member 64 moves in the diagonally lower right direction along the first downward inclined portion 62f of the first guiding portion 62 of the base member 61, and the second The sliding portion 66 moves obliquely in the upper right direction along the second guiding portion 63.

  The right side of the first sliding portion 65, such as the movement of the first sliding portion 65 of the movable body 64 in the diagonally lower right direction and the movement of the second sliding portion 66 in the diagonally upper right direction. Since the moving direction of the second sliding portion 66 and the rightward moving direction intersect with each other so as to close on the right side, the movable body 64 changes its orientation together with the connecting member 67 (changes its posture). Waking up), it starts moving upward and diagonally to the right. Along with this, the dragon decorative member 80 fixed to the movable body 64 also changes its tip direction (while raising its posture) and moves upward diagonally to the right while drawing the locus indicated by the arrow 101 in FIG. Moving.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the rotating member 73 is further rotated clockwise by driving the motor 74, the rotating arm portion 72b of the swing arm 72 is accordingly attached to the mounting cylinder. It further rotates rightward about the portion 72d (attachment convex portion 61d). At this time, the first sliding portion 65 of the movable portion 64 moves obliquely downward to the right along the first downwardly inclined portion 62f of the first guiding portion 62 of the base member 61 to the position before the lowest point 62c. While moving, the second sliding portion 66 moves along the second guiding portion 63 in an obliquely upper right direction up to substantially the center thereof. At this time, as in the case of FIG. 6, the movable body 64 moves obliquely upward to the right while further changing its orientation together with the connecting member 67 (further raising its posture). Along with this, the dragon decorative member 80 fixed to the movable body 64 also changes the direction of the tip thereof (and raises its posture), and draws a locus indicated by the arrow 102 in FIG. Move to.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the rotating member 73 is further rotated clockwise by driving the motor 74, the rotating arm portion 72b of the swing arm 72 is accordingly attached to the mounting cylinder. It further rotates rightward about the portion 72d (attachment convex portion 61d). At this time, the first sliding portion 65 of the movable portion 64 passes through the upward inclined portion 62i from the position before the lowest point 62c of the first guiding portion 62 of the base member 61 (the state of FIG. 7A). While moving to the upper right direction obliquely to a position exceeding the vertex 62d (the state of FIG. 8A), the second sliding portion 66 further extends beyond the substantial center along the second guiding portion 63. Move diagonally to the upper right.

  In this case, to the right of the first sliding portion 65, such as the movement of the first sliding portion 65 of the movable body 64 in the diagonally upper right direction and the movement of the second sliding portion 66 in the diagonally upper right direction. Since the moving direction of the second sliding portion 66 and the rightward moving direction of the second sliding portion 66 intersect with each other so as to open on the right side, the movable body 64 and the connecting member 67 do not substantially change the direction thereof, It is designed to move in the direction. Accordingly, when the movable body 64 moves from the lowest point 62c of the first guide portion 62 to the vertex 62d, the direction of the tip of the dragon decorative member 80 fixed to the movable body 64 is slightly inclined downward. When the movable body 64 moves from the apex 62d to the downward inclined portion 62h (lowering a little from the raised posture), the direction of the tip is changed upward again (while raising the posture again), and the arrow in FIG. The dragon decorative member 80 moves to the right side in a state in which the height of the tip of the dragon decorative member 80 does not change so much as to draw a locus indicated by 103. Due to the movement of the movable body 64 during this period, it is possible to give the player a feeling that the momentum of the dragon decoration member 80 as shown in FIGS.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the rotation member 73 is further rotated clockwise by driving the motor 74, the rotation arm portion 72b of the swing arm 72 is accordingly attached to the mounting cylinder. It further rotates rightward about the portion 72d (attachment convex portion 61d). At this time, the first sliding portion 65 of the movable portion 64 moves diagonally downward to the right end 62g along the second downwardly inclined portion 62h of the first guiding portion 62 of the base member 61. At the same time, the second sliding portion 66 moves along the second guiding portion 63 in the diagonally upper right direction to the right end 63b position.

  Also at this time, since the moving direction to the right of the first sliding portion 65 and the moving direction to the right of the second sliding portion 66 intersect so as to close on the right side, the movable body 64 is While changing its direction (raising its posture), it moves diagonally upward to the right. Along with this, the dragon decorative member 80 fixed to the movable body 64 also changes the direction of its tip (while raising its posture), and moves diagonally upward to the right while drawing the locus indicated by the arrow 104 in FIG. Moving. In addition, the position with respect to the base member 61 of the movable body 64 (dragon decoration member 80) at this time is defined as a second position P2 (see FIG. 2). In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, the position of the other end 62 g of the first guiding portion 62 is provided closer to the display portion 17 a of the display device 17 than the other end 63 b of the second guiding portion 63. The other end 62g of the first guiding portion 62 and the other end 63b of the second guiding portion 63 may be configured to have the same distance from the display portion 17a of the display device 17. However, when the position of the other end 62g of the first guiding portion 62 is closer to the display portion 17a of the display device 17 than the other end 63b of the second guiding portion 63, the amount of appearance of the dragon decorative member 80 is increased. It is possible to increase the (movement amount).

  As the movable body 64 moves, the contacted portion 67g of the connecting member 67 abuts (slidably contacts) the contact convex portion 61c of the base member 61 from the right end to the left end of the contacted portion 67g. ). By such contact of the contacted portion 67f with the contact convex portion 61c, the connecting member 67c is rotated upward with respect to the movable body 64 against the pulling (biasing) of the biasing spring 68. The When the transmission portion 67f inserted into the rotation groove portion 82d of the auxiliary decoration body 82 moves upward along with the upward rotation of the connecting member 67, the auxiliary decoration body (lower jaw portion) 82 is attached to its mounting cylinder portion 82a. The dragon decoration member 80 is rotated downward about the (mounting convex portion 64e), and the dragon decoration member 80 is in a state where the dragon mouth is opened as shown in FIG. 9 (b).

  Thereafter, when the gaming state of the gaming machine 1 changes and a command for the control circuit or the like to drive the motor 74 again is generated, the control circuit or the like rotates the motor 74 in the reverse direction. When the rotating member 73 is rotated counterclockwise by the driving of the motor 74 as described above, the swing arm 72 is accordingly rotated to the left side, and the movable body 64 (dragon decorative member 80) is moved to the second position. From the position P2 of FIG. 10, the robot returns to the first position P1 while drawing a trajectory opposite to that described above in the order of the arrows 104, 103, 102, 101 as shown in FIG.

  In other words, the dragon decoration member 80 is arranged so as to be hidden on the back side of the cover body 40b provided on the lower side of the front side decoration member 40 as shown in FIG. The reciprocating movement is made between the opening 40a of the front side decorative member 40, that is, the exposure position (second position) P2 arranged to appear (expose) on the front side from the lower side of the display portion 17a. It is possible. Further, as shown in the figure, at the exposed position P <b> 2, the auxiliary decoration body (lower jaw) 82 of the dragon decoration member 80 is rotated to open with respect to the decoration body (head and upper jaw) 81. It is possible. Then, by setting the sub-decorative body (lower jaw part) 82 to the decoration body (head and upper jaw part) 81, the dragon's mouth is opened, and the display unit 17 of the display device 17 is opened. By displaying an image according to the state on 17a, for example, an image in which fire is blowing from the mouth, it is possible to further enhance the effect.

  As described above, the movable body 64 (dragon decoration member 80) included in the movable effect device 50 draws a locus indicated by arrows 101 to 104 in FIG. 10 between the first position P1 and the second position P2. It is possible to move while changing its direction. More specifically, the movable body 64 (the dragon decorative member 80) moves diagonally right upward while drawing the trajectory of the arrow 101 and the arrow 102 as shown in FIG. 10, and then extends the arrow 102 as it is. Without drawing such a trajectory, the robot moves to the right side while drawing the trajectory of the arrow 103 having a direction different from the directions of the arrow 101 and the arrow 102, and again, the arrow 104 having a direction different from the arrow 103. It moves to the upper right while drawing the trajectory.

  Therefore, the movable body 64 (the dragon decorative member 80) is not moved while drawing a simple (regular) trajectory such as the conventional linear movement or arc movement, but as indicated by arrows 101-104. Because it moves while drawing a complicated (irregular) trajectory in which the moving direction is changed multiple times, the amount of appearance (movement amount) can be increased and decreased, and the production effect can be improved than before. It is possible.

  The movable effect device 50 described above includes a movable body 64 that can move between the first position P1 and the second position P2 on the base member 61, and a driving means 74 for moving the movable body 64. The movable body 64 is provided with a first sliding portion 65 and a second sliding portion 66 arranged at a position different from the first sliding portion 65, and according to the movement of the movable body 64. A decorative member 80 movable on the front side of the display portion 17a is fixed to the movable body 64, and a first sliding portion 65 is slidably engaged with the base member 61. A guide part 62 and a second guide part 63 slidably engaged with the second slide part 66 are provided, and the first guide part 62 extends from one end 62e to the other end 62g of the display part 17a. Is formed so that the valley-like portion 62a that is away from the mountain-like portion 62b and the mountain-like portion 62b that approaches the display portion 17a communicate with each other. The second guiding portion 63 is formed in a substantially straight line so as to gradually approach the display portion 17 a from one end 63 a to the other end 63 b, and one end 63 a of the second guiding portion 63 is connected to the first guiding portion 62. The other end 63b of the second guide portion 63 is located closer to the display portion 17a than the other end 62g of the first guide portion 62, while being arranged at a position farther from the display portion 17a than the one end 62e. The other end 62g of the first guiding portion 62 and the display portion 17a are disposed at the same distance, and the first sliding portion 65 and the second sliding portion 66 are the first guiding portion. When the first position P1, the first sliding portion 65, and the second sliding portion 66 of the movable body 64 are positioned at the one end 62e of the second guiding portion 63 and the one end 63a of the second guiding portion 63, the first guiding portion. 62 is located at the other end 62g and the other end 63b of the second guide portion 63. And it is configured such that the second position P2 of the movable member 64 and the case.

  That is, the first guide portion 62 and the linear second guide portion 63 that are provided on the base member 61 and have a valley-shaped portion 62a and a mountain-shaped portion 62b having different guide shapes, The movable body 64 provided with the first sliding portion 65 engaging with the second guiding portion 62 and the second sliding portion 66 engaging with the second guiding portion 62 is moved from the first position P1 to the second position. The decorative member 80 fixed to the movable body 64 is moved between the first position P1 and the second position P1 on the base member 61 by moving to the position P2. The amount of movement (amount of movement) on the front side of the display unit 17a is changed while changing the direction (posture), and the decorative member 80 is moved while drawing a path (movement path) that is not conventional. Is possible. Therefore, it is possible to improve the production effect as compared with the conventional art.

  In this case, the decorative member 80 includes a decorative main body 81 and a sub decorative body 82 pivotally supported between the decorative main body 81 and the movable body 64, and the sub decorative body 82 includes a biasing member. 68, and a connecting member 67 that connects the urging member 68 and the sub-decorating body 82 are urged toward the decoration main body 81, and the movable member 64 is moved from the first position P1 to the second position P2 on the base member 61. When the movable body 64 moves from the first position P1 to the second position P2, the connecting member 67 contacts the contact portion 61c. As a result, the biasing member 68 is displaced against the biasing and the auxiliary decorative body 82 is rotated, so that the movable body 64 ( The decorative member 80) is moved to the first position P1 and the second position P2. With it can be moved between the sub decorative body 82 is also made can be rotated, it is not necessary to separately prepare a dedicated drive means for rotating the sub-decorative body 82. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a complicated mechanism for moving or rotating these members, and to arrange such a movable effect device 50 in a limited space of the gaming machine 1 in a compact manner.

  In addition, when the movable body 64 is located at the first position P1 and the cover body 40b covers the base member 61, the decorative member 80 is hidden by the cover body 40b, and the movable body 64 is at the first position P1. Since the decorative member 80 is exposed from the cover body 40b as it moves from the first position P2 to the second position P2, the movement (intrusion) of the decorative member 80 can be made more conspicuous. Thus, the effect can be made more prominent.

  Furthermore, the movable effect device 50 is provided as a pair on both sides in a predetermined direction of the display unit 17a, and the decorative members 80, 80 provided in the pair of movable effect devices 50, 50 are respectively first. The position of the decorative members 80 and 80 of the two movable effect devices 50 and 50 is, for example, set so as to approach each other as they move from the position P1 to the second position P2. It is possible to produce a game in various manners such as rotating the sub-decorations 82 and 82 in a state where the game machine 1 is approached from both sides in a predetermined direction, and in the approached state. It is possible to improve the production effect.
