  Next, with reference to FIG. 12, an effect process performed by the gatling accessory 100 performed on the sub-integrated board 60 will be described. First, an outline of control in the effect process will be described. As described above, the CPU 61 of the sub-integrated board 60 transmits a command for controlling the rendering unit 30 to the lamp driver board 46 according to the command transmitted from the main board 41. When the CPU 61 of the sub-integrated board 60 reads the effect pattern based on the command from the main board 41 from the ROM 63 and the content includes execution of the effect by the Gatling accessory 100, the CPU 61 reads the first photo from the lamp driver board 46. The detection results of the sensor 114 and the second photosensor 190 are acquired. Then, a command for controlling the first motor 111 and the second motor 182 is transmitted to the lamp driver board 46 based on the effect pattern and the detection result of the photo sensor. The lamp driver board 46 converts a command received from the sub-integrated board 60 and performs control to rotate the first motor 111 and the second motor 182 by a predetermined step instructed by the command.

  Next, details of the effect process will be described. In the following description, the first motor 111 has a direction to rotate the rotating plate 150 clockwise when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 1 (a direction to rotate the power gear 112 counterclockwise when viewed from the front. ) Is forward rotation. When viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 1, the second motor 182 rotates the first elevating gear 184 and the second elevating gear 187 (see FIG. 6) clockwise (the power gear 183 is viewed from the front side). The direction of clockwise rotation) is defined as positive rotation.

  The effect process of the gatling accessory 100 is performed according to the effect process program (see FIG. 12) stored in the ROM 63 by the CPU 61 of the sub-integrated board 60. It should be noted that the effect by the illumination LED or the like in the gatling accessory 100 is controlled by another program or the like, and in the present embodiment, attention is paid to the rotation and raising / lowering operations of the gatling unit 110. When the CPU 61 of the sub-integrated board 60 receives a command including an effect by the Gatling accessory 100 from the main board 41, a command to reversely rotate the second motor 182 is transmitted to the lamp driver board 46 (S2). The first elevating gear 184 and the second elevating gear 187 rotate counterclockwise to raise the elevating plate 210, and the gatling unit 110 is positioned at the upper end of the moving range (this position is the “first 1 position ”).

  If the detection unit 211 of the lifting plate 210 is positioned at the sensor portion of the second photosensor 190 and the detection result is OFF, the lifting plate 210 is positioned at the upper end of the moving range, and the gatling unit 110 is disposed at the first position. The The CPU 61 acquires the detection result of the second photosensor 190 via the lamp driver board 46, and maintains the reverse rotation of the second motor 182 until it is turned off (S4: NO).

  If the detection result of the second photosensor 190 is OFF (S4: YES), the CPU 61 outputs a command to stop driving the second motor 182 (S6), and then issues a command to rotate the first motor 111 forward. Output (S8). The first decorative body 130 of the gatling unit 110 starts rotating clockwise, and the four second decorative bodies 140 are also driven to start rotating clockwise.

  The CPU 61 waits until the timing for lowering the gatling unit 110 according to the effect pattern (S10: NO), and continues the rotation of the first decorative body 130 and the second decorative body 140 at the first position. When the lowering timing is reached (S10: YES), a command for rotating the second motor 182 in the forward direction is output (S12). The lowering of the lifting plate 210 is started, and the gatling unit 110 starts moving toward the lower end of the moving range.

  The moving distance of the gatling unit 110 is determined in advance by the amount of rotation of the second motor 182, that is, the number of steps of the stepping motor. The CPU 61 continues to descend the gatling unit 110 until the second motor 182 rotates by a predetermined number of steps (S14: NO), and when the predetermined number of steps rotates (S14: YES), a command to stop the second motor 182 is output. (S16). The position at which the gatling unit 110 reaches the lower end of the movement range is set as the “second position” of the effect in the gatling accessory 100.

  The first motor 111 continues to rotate, and the CPU 61 waits at the second position until the timing of stopping the rotation of the first decorative body 130 and the second decorative body 140 according to the effect pattern (S18: NO). When the stop timing is reached (S18: YES), the second orientation of the first decorative body 130 serving as a reference for specifying the orientation of the first decorative body 130 at the time of the stop (hereinafter referred to as "third direction"). However, it waits for the first photo sensor 114 to be detected by turning off (S20: NO).

  If the detection result of the first photosensor 114 is OFF (S20: YES), the CPU 61 turns one second decorative body 140 out of the four second decorative bodies 140 determined according to the effect pattern to the rotation axis. 115 is disposed below. The angle at which the first motor 111 is rotated from the reference position (the position where the first photosensor 114 is turned off) in order to place the individual second decorative bodies 140 below the rotation shaft 115 is the same as described above. The rotation amount of the first motor 111, that is, the number of steps of the stepping motor is obtained in advance. Therefore, the CPU 61 continuously rotates the first photo sensor 114 after the first photo sensor 114 is turned off (S22: NO), and rotates the predetermined number of steps based on the effect pattern (S22: YES). A command for stopping the motor 111 is output (S24). One of the second decorative bodies 140 determined according to the effect pattern is arranged below the gatling unit 110 and is exposed from the unit shield 160 and displayed. At this time, the exposed second decorative body 140 faces in the first direction based on a predetermined meshing state of the fixed gear 125 and the annular gear 145.

  According to the effect pattern, the CPU 61 waits until the effect by the display that exposes the second decorative body 140 at the lower end (S26: NO), and when the effect of the display ends, a command to rotate the second motor 182 in reverse is output. (S28). The raising and lowering of the lifting plate 210 is started, and the gatling unit 110 starts moving toward the upper end (first position) of the moving range.

  Further, the CPU 61 outputs a command for causing the first motor 111 to rotate forward (S30). The gatling unit 110 moves up while rotating the first decorative body 130 and the second decorative body 140, and the CPU 61 stands by while moving (S32: NO). When the detection result of the second photosensor 190 becomes OFF and the gatling unit 110 reaches the first position as described above (S32: YES), the CPU 61 outputs a command to stop the second motor 182 (S34). ).

  And it waits for the 1st decoration body 130 to become the 2nd direction used as the standard of direction similarly to S20 (S36: NO). When the first photo sensor 114 is turned off and the first decorative body 130 is in the second direction (S36: YES), the CPU 61 continues to rotate the first motor 111 until it rotates a predetermined number of steps from the reference position. (S38: NO). The predetermined number of steps at this time is the third step by rotating the first decorative body 130 from the second direction so that one second decorative body 140 determined according to the effect pattern is arranged above the rotation shaft 115. It is the number of steps of the first motor 111 necessary to turn the direction. When the first motor 111 rotates a predetermined number of steps (S38: YES), a command to stop the first motor 111 is output (S40). The gatling unit 110 is arranged at the first position, and one of the second decorative bodies 140 determined according to the effect pattern is arranged on the upper part of the gatling unit 110 and is exposed from the unit shield 160 and displayed. At this time, the exposed second decorative body 140 faces in the first direction based on the state of meshing between the fixed gear 125 and the annular gear 145, which is set in advance as described above.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment simply rotates the first decorative body 130 with the power of the first motor 111, and the second decorative body 140, which is different from the first decorative body 130, is used. Can be rotated. Since the second decorative body 140 is within the radius of rotation of the first decorative body 130 and there is a rotating body of another axis that performs different rotations within the inner periphery of one rotating body, the novel operation of the decorative body Can be realized. In addition, since the second decorative body 140 rotates on a different axis from the first decorative body 130 in the first decorative body 130, it is difficult to identify the decoration of the second decorative body 140. The interest with respect to the decoration state of the second decorative body 140 that can be increased.

  In addition, since different decorative bodies can be rotated by one first motor 111, only one motor is required to be mounted on the gatling unit 110. Therefore, the weight of the gatling unit 110 can be reduced and the load applied to the components supporting the gatling unit 110 can be reduced.

  Since the second decorative body 140 rotates in a shorter rotation cycle than the first decorative body 130 in addition to the rotation of the first decorative body 130, the second decorative body 140 rotates faster than the case where the second decorative body 140 rotates alone. Can be shown to the player. For example, in the case where an effect is displayed by displaying characters, designs, etc. as decorations of the second decorative body 140, it is difficult to identify the characters, designs, etc. of the second decorative body 140 unless the rotation of the first decorative body 130 is stopped. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation during the rotation. Specifically, if the second decorative body 140 is rotated twice while the first decorative body 130 rotates once, the player is shown to rotate faster than the second decorative body 140 rotates alone. Can do.

  In addition, when the rotation of the first decorative body 130 is stopped, it is easy to identify characters, designs, etc. if the second decorative body 140 faces the first direction, which is the positive direction. Then, by setting the meshing between the fixed gear 125 and the ring gear 145, the second decorative body 140 always faces the first direction when the first decorative body 130 faces the second direction. If the second direction of the first decorative body 130 detected by the sensor 114 is used as a reference, the direction of the second decorative body 140 can be grasped. Furthermore, even if there are a plurality of second decorative bodies 140, if the first decorative body 130 is directed in the third direction according to any second decorative body 140, the second decorative body 140 is surely directed in the first direction. Can be.

  Further, by performing control according to the effect process, when the first decorative body 130 and the second decorative body 140 are located at the first position and the rotation of the first decorative body 130 is stopped, the first decorative body 130 is exposed from the unit shield 160. The second decorative body 140 can surely face the first direction. Similarly, when the first decorative body 130 and the second decorative body 140 are located at the second position, the second decorative body 140 exposed from the unit shield 160 when the rotation of the first decorative body 130 stops. However, it can be surely turned in the first direction.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above in detail, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in order to display the predetermined second decorative body 140, the third direction in which the first decorative body 130 is directed is adjusted by the number of steps of rotating the first motor 111 based on the detection result of the first photosensor 114. However, a plurality of photosensors may be provided to uniquely determine the third direction of the first decorative body 130 corresponding to each second decorative body 140. Further, the second position of the lift plate 210 by the unit lift 170 may be detected by providing a photo sensor. The first photosensor 114 and the second photosensor 190 are not limited to photosensors, and electromagnetic sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and other various sensors may be substituted.

  Further, the number of the second decorative bodies 140 is not limited to four, and may be one, two, three, or five pairs. The unit elevator 170 moves the gatling unit 110 up and down, but it may be moved left and right, back and forth, or moved in any direction. The second decorative body 140 is shielded by the unit shield 160 except for one, but two or more second decorative bodies 140 may be exposed. The gear ratio between the annular gear 145 and the fixed gear 125 is 1: 1, but may be an integer ratio.

  In the present invention, the pachinko machine 1 corresponds to a “gaming machine”. The pedestal 120 corresponds to a “support”. The fixed gear 125 corresponds to the “first gear”, and the ring gear 145 corresponds to the “second gear”. The gatling accessory 100 corresponds to a “production device”.
