Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine provided with a gaming board in which a gaming area where gaming balls flow down is defined.

  For example, a pachinko machine, which is one of the representative examples of gaming machines, has a gaming area where a pachinko ball as a gaming ball is launched on the surface of a gaming board set in the machine. A frame-shaped decorative member, also called a center accessory, is arranged at a substantially central position in the game area, and a plurality of symbols are displayed in a variable manner through the opening of the frame-shaped decorative member to produce a symbol variation effect. The liquid crystal type or drum type symbol display device to be performed is faced from the rear, and a start winning device for starting fluctuations in the symbol display device by the winning of a pachinko ball is arranged below the frame-shaped decorative member on the game board. A number of proposals have been proposed. The pachinko balls flowing down the game area are configured to start a symbol variation effect on the symbol display device by winning a start winning device, and to pay out a predetermined number of pachinko balls as prize balls. As a result of the symbol variation effect, when the symbols stop in a predetermined combination on the symbol display device (for example, a triple of the same symbols, etc.), a so-called jackpot that is advantageous to the player occurs, and the special prize opening of the special prize winning device Will be given an opportunity to open and win a prize ball.

  Further, the game board is provided with an effect device including a movable body that performs a required operation, and the visual effect is achieved by operating the movable body in accordance with the game effect performed by the symbol display device. Pachinko machines that improve the effect and further increase the interest of the game are known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a pachinko machine in which a rendering device including a movable body configured to be rotatable is disposed on a frame-shaped decorative member. The movable body of Patent Document 1 is composed of a base body that is pivotally supported by the main body of the rendering device, and a decorative portion that is provided on the front side of the base body and has a rocket shape extending in a predetermined direction. Has been. At the time of non-production, the movable body is held at the first position extending in the vertical direction along the edge of the opening of the frame-shaped decorative member 25. When the pachinko machine is in a predetermined gaming state, the base body is rotated together with the decorative portion, and the movable body is moved to a second position inclined so as to face the front side of the display portion.

  In addition, a light emitting substrate having a plurality of light emitting elements is disposed on the base body of Patent Document 1. The light emitting substrate is set to have a smaller area than the decorative portion, and the light emitting substrate is disposed on the base body in a state of being covered from the front side by the movable body. The light emitting element emits light at a predetermined timing, so that the decoration portion is brightened and a light emission effect is performed.

JP 2010-35719 A

  However, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, since the light emitting substrate is set to a size smaller than the decorative portion, the light irradiation range (light emitting element installation range) of the light emitting substrate is smaller than the decorative portion. Accordingly, the portion of the decorative portion that protrudes from the light emitting substrate is not directly illuminated by the light from the light emitting element, so that the brightness of the portion is relatively weak. For this reason, at the time of the light emission effect, a bright part and a dark part are generated in the decorative part, and there is a problem that the beauty of the movable body is lowered.

  Here, by adopting a light emitting substrate having the same area as the decorative portion, it is possible to brighten the entire decorative portion. However, in recent years, there is a tendency for the decorative portion to be enlarged so that a more powerful presentation effect can be exhibited. When the light emitting substrate is enlarged in accordance with the decorative portion, the weight of the entire movable body increases. As a result, a drive source having a large output is required to drive the movable body having a large weight, which increases the product cost.

  In recent years, a movable body is often installed on a box-shaped installation member disposed on the rear side of the game board. However, since the shape of the installation member is set according to the dimensions of the game board, the installation space for the installation member cannot be freely expanded, and the size of the movable body is restricted. On the other hand, when the size of the movable body is reduced as a whole, the decorative portion visually recognized by the player is also reduced, and it is difficult to produce an impact effect.

  When the left effect device 41 produces a movable effect, the left drive motor 51 is driven under the control of the overall control device. As a result, the left drive gear 61 is rotated and the large-diameter gear 52 is rotated in the clockwise direction of FIG. When the large-diameter gear 52 rotates, the connecting rod 70 located at the left and right central portion of the slider 53 (below the rotating shaft 52a of the large-diameter gear 52) moves to the upper left, and the connecting rod 70 is moved to the horizontal groove. The inner surface of the lateral groove 69 is pushed up while moving the portion 69 to the left. As a result, the slider 53 is pushed upward, and the guide portion 63 of the slider 53 moves up the slide rail portion 56. At this time, the guide protrusion 58 (see FIG. 10) of the slide rail portion 56 moves relative to the longitudinal groove portion 67, and the sliding boss portion 65 (see FIG. 11B) moves along the sliding groove 57. Then, the slider 53 is guided. When the slider 53 moves upward, the first left link portion 47 rotates about the left main shaft portion 73 and the second left link portion 48 rotates about the left countershaft portion 81, thereby producing an effect. The part 49 starts to descend. At this time, since the first left link part 47 and the second left link part 48 constitute a parallel link mechanism, the effect part 49 descends without changing the posture.

  Here, the operating portion 64 is connected to the guide portion 63 at a position biased to the left side, and a load when the left movable body 46 is moved is applied to the left side of the operating portion 64 via the guide portion 63. . Therefore, in the embodiment, when the left movable body 46 is moved (while the large-diameter gear 52 rotates), the connecting rod 70 is always positioned between the left and right center of the lateral groove portion 69. The load applied to the left side of the operating portion 64 can be reliably supported by the connecting rod 70. Moreover, the connecting rod 70 supports the side of the operating portion 64 that is close to the guide portion 63, so that the connecting rod 70 supports the right side of the operating portion 64 that is separated from the guide portion 63. Since the posture of the slider 53 is difficult to tilt, the slider 53 can be moved smoothly.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, when the large-diameter gear 52 rotates about 180 °, the drive of the left drive motor 51 is stopped and the left movable body 46 is positioned at the second position. When the left movable body 46 is located at the second position, the left decorative portion 90 is located on the front side of the display portion 15 a of the liquid crystal display device 15. In this state, when the left effect device 41 produces a light emission effect, as shown in FIG. 16, the first region 105 of the left decorative portion 90 is brightened by the light of the movable light emitting portion 87 and the display portion of the liquid crystal display device 15 is displayed. The second area 106 of the left decoration unit 90 is brightened by the light of the effect image displayed at 15a. That is, even when the left movable body 46 is positioned at the second position, the left decoration portion 90 is substantially brightened by the light from the movable light emitting portion 87 and the display portion 15a. It can be prevented that the aesthetics in the aging deteriorate.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, at the first position of the left movable body 46, the left decorative portion 90 is brightened by the light from the fixed light emitting portion 44 and the movable light emitting portion 87, and the left movable body 46 is illuminated. In the second position, the left decorative portion 90 is brightened by the light from the movable light emitting portion 87 and the display portion 15a. That is, since it is not necessary to brighten substantially the entire left decorative portion 90 with the movable light emitting portion 87, the movable light emitting portion 87 having a size smaller than that of the left decorative portion 90 can be adopted, and the left movable body 46 (the effect portion 49). Can be reduced in weight. Therefore, since the left drive motor 51 with a small output can be adopted, the manufacturing cost of the left effect device 41 can be suppressed. Moreover, since the left decoration part 90 can maintain a large size, a powerful movable effect by the large left decoration part 90 can be performed, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  When the left movable body 46 returns from the second position to the first position, the left drive motor 51 is driven, and the large-diameter gear 52 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction of FIG. As a result, the connecting rod 70 is lowered and the slider 53 is pushed down. As the slider 53 moves downward, the first left link portion 47 and the second left link portion 48 rotate in the clockwise direction of FIG. 12A, and the effect portion 49 rises. Also in this case, since the connecting rod 70 is always located on the left side of the lateral groove portion 69, the load applied to the left side of the operating portion 64 can be reliably supported by the connecting rod 70 and the slider 53 can be moved stably. Out. Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), when the large-diameter gear 52 rotates approximately half and the connecting rod 70 is positioned at the left and right central portion of the lateral groove 69, the drive of the left drive motor 51 is stopped and left movable. The body 46 returns to the first position.

An effect of rotating 90 can be performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 14, when the production motor 85 is driven and the production drive gear 94 rotates, the decorative gear 97 is rotated through the production driven gear 95. Thereby, the left decoration part 90 rotates and the effect of the left movable body 46 is further enhanced.

  Next, when the right effect device 42 produces a movable effect, the right drive motor 107 is driven, the right drive gear 117 is rotated, and the arcuate gear 123 is rotated in the clockwise direction of FIG. The Thereby, the 1st right link part 110 and the 2nd right link part 111 rotate, and the right decoration part 112 falls, without changing an attitude | position. Then, as shown in FIG. 18B, when the arcuate gear 123 rotates about 45 °, the drive of the right drive motor 107 is stopped and the right movable body 109 is positioned at the fourth position. When the right movable body 109 is located at the fourth position, the right decoration portion 112 faces the front side of the display portion 15a of the liquid crystal display device 15, as shown in FIG. Here, when the left movable body 46 is positioned at the second position, the right decorative portion 112 is positioned on the front side of the left decorative portion 90 (see FIG. 16). That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the left decorative portion 90 is visible from the front side through the movable window 132 of the right decorative portion 112, and the player can enjoy the effects of the left decorative portion 90.

  When the right movable body 109 returns from the fourth position to the third position, the right drive motor 107 is driven and the right drive gear 117 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. The gear 123 is rotated. Thereby, the 1st right link part 110 and the 2nd right link part 111 rotate, and the right decoration part 112 raises, without changing an attitude | position. Then, as shown in FIG. 18A, when the arcuate gear 123 rotates about 45 °, the drive of the right drive motor 107 is stopped and the right movable body 109 returns to the third position.
