  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the circuit configuration of the main board (game control board) 31. FIG. 3 also shows a payout control board 37, an effect control board 80, and the like. A game control microcomputer (corresponding to game control means) 156 for controlling the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to a program is mounted on the main board 31. The game control microcomputer 156 includes a ROM 54 for storing a game control (game progress control) program and the like, a RAM 55 as storage means used as a work memory, a CPU 56 for performing control operations in accordance with the program, and an I / O port unit 57. including. In this embodiment, the ROM 54 and the RAM 55 are built in the game control microcomputer 156. That is, the game control microcomputer 156 is a one-chip microcomputer. The one-chip microcomputer only needs to include at least the RAM 55, and the ROM 54 may be external or internal. The I / O port unit 57 may be externally attached. The game control microcomputer 156 further includes a random number circuit 60 that generates hardware random numbers (random numbers generated by the hardware circuit).

  In the game control microcomputer 156, the CPU 56 executes control in accordance with a program stored in the ROM 54. Therefore, the game control microcomputer 156 (or CPU 56) executes (or performs processing) hereinafter. Specifically, the CPU 56 executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on substrates other than the main substrate 31.

  The game control microcomputer 156 includes a random number circuit 60. The random number circuit 60 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to win a jackpot based on a display result of variable symbol special display. The random number circuit 60 updates numerical data in accordance with a set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and starts at a random timing Based on the fact that the winning time is the reading (extraction) of the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the numerical data to be read becomes a random value.

  The random number circuit 60 is a hardware circuit that is used to generate a random number for determination to determine whether or not to win a jackpot based on a display result of variable symbol special display. The random number circuit 60 updates numerical data in accordance with a set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and starts at a random timing Based on the fact that the winning time is the reading (extraction) of the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the numerical data to be read becomes a random value.

  The random number circuit 60 is configured to select a numeric data update range selection setting function (initial value selection setting function and upper limit selection selection function), numeric data update rule selection setting function, and numeric data update rule selection. It has various functions such as a switching function. With such a function, the randomness of the generated random numbers can be improved.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 156 has a function of setting an initial value of numerical data updated by the random number circuit 60. For example, a predetermined calculation is performed using an ID number of the game control microcomputer 156 stored in a predetermined storage area such as the ROM 54 (an ID number assigned with a different value for each product of the game control microcomputer 156). The numerical data obtained by the setting is set as the initial value of the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 60. By performing such processing, the randomness of the random number generated by the random number circuit 60 can be further improved.

  The game control microcomputer 156 reads the numerical data as random R from the random number circuit 60 when the start winning to the first start port switch 14a or the second start port switch 15a occurs, and starts to change the special symbol and the effect symbol Sometimes it is determined whether or not to make a big hit display result as a specific display result based on the random R, that is, whether or not to make a big hit. Then, when it is determined to be a big hit, the gaming state is shifted to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state advantageous to the player.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 156 is used for inputting / outputting (transmitting / receiving) signals to / from the payout control board 37 (the payout control microcomputer) and the effect control board 80 (the effect control microcomputer) by serial communication. A serial communication circuit 61 is incorporated. The payout control microcomputer and the effect control microcomputer also have a serial communication circuit (not shown) for inputting / outputting signals with the game control microcomputer 156 through serial communication.

  The RAM 55 is a backup RAM as a non-volatile storage means, part or all of which is backed up by a backup power supply created on the power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 55 is stored for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot be supplied). In particular, at least data corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means (such as the value of the special symbol process flag and the pending storage number counter) and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls (specifically, prize balls described later) The value of the command output counter) is stored in the backup RAM. The data corresponding to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the power is restored after a power failure or the like occurs. Further, data corresponding to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress state of the game. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the entire RAM 55 is backed up.

  A reset signal from the power supply board is input to the reset terminal of the game control microcomputer 156. A reset circuit for generating a reset signal supplied to the game control microcomputer 156 and the like is mounted on the power supply board. When the reset signal becomes high level, the game control microcomputer 156 and the like are in an operable state, and when the reset signal becomes low level, the game control microcomputer 156 and the like become inactive. Therefore, an allowable signal that allows the operation of the game control microcomputer 156 or the like is output during a period in which the reset signal is at a high level, and a game control microcomputer in which the reset signal is at a low level. An operation stop signal for stopping the operation of 156 or the like is output. Note that the reset circuit may be mounted on each electric component control board (a board on which a microcomputer for controlling the electric parts is mounted).

  Further, a power-off signal indicating that the power supply voltage from the power supply board has dropped below a predetermined value is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 156. That is, the power supply board monitors the voltage value of a predetermined voltage (for example, DC30V or DC5V) used in the gaming machine, and when the voltage value decreases to a predetermined value (the power supply voltage is reduced). A power supply monitoring circuit that outputs a power-off signal indicating that). Instead of mounting the power monitoring circuit on the power supply board, it may be mounted on a board that is backed up by a backup power supply (for example, the main board 31). Further, a clear signal indicating that the clear switch for instructing to clear the contents of the RAM is operated is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 156.

  In addition, the gate switch 32a, the first start opening switch 14a, the first winning confirmation switch 14b, the second starting opening switch 15a, the second winning confirmation switch 15b, the count switch 23, the third winning confirmation switch 23a, and each winning opening switch 30 , 30b, and an input driver circuit 58 for supplying a detection signal to the basic circuit is also mounted on the main board 31, and includes a solenoid 16 for opening and closing the variable winning ball device 15, a solenoid 21 for opening and closing the special variable winning ball device 20, and the basic circuit.

  In this embodiment, the effect control means (configured by the effect control microcomputer) mounted on the effect control board 80 instructs the effect contents from the game control microcomputer 156 via the relay board 77. The control command is received, and display control with the effect display device 9 that variably displays the effect symbol is performed.

  The effect control board 80 is equipped with an effect control microcomputer (not shown) including an effect control CPU and a RAM. The RAM may be externally attached. In the effect control board 80, an effect control CPU (not shown) operates according to a program stored in a built-in or external ROM (not shown), and receives from the main board 31 inputted via the relay board 77. An effect control command is received via the input driver and the input port in response to the embedded signal (effect control INT signal). Further, the effect control CPU (not shown) causes the VDP (video display processor) to perform display control of the effect display device 9 based on the effect control command.

  An effect control CPU (not shown) reads necessary data from a character ROM (not shown) in accordance with the received effect control command. The character ROM is for storing character image data displayed on the effect display device 9, specifically, a person, characters, figures, symbols, etc. (including effect symbols) in advance. An effect control CPU (not shown) outputs the data read from the character ROM to the VDP. The VDP performs display control based on data input from the CPU for effect control.

  The effect control command and the effect control INT signal are first input to the input driver on the effect control board 80. The input driver allows the signal input from the relay board 77 to pass only in the direction toward the inside of the effect control board 80 (does not pass the signal in the direction from the inside of the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). It is also a unidirectional circuit as a means.

  As a signal direction regulating means, the signal inputted from the main board 31 is allowed to pass through the relay board 77 only in the direction toward the effect control board 80 (the signal is not passed in the direction from the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). A unidirectional circuit (not shown) is mounted. For example, a diode or a transistor is used as the unidirectional circuit. Furthermore, since the production control command and the production control INT signal are output from the main board 31 via the I / O port unit which is a unidirectional circuit, the signal going from the relay board 77 to the inside of the main board 31 is restricted. . That is, the signal from the relay board 77 does not enter the inside of the main board 31 (the game control microcomputer 156 side).

  Further, the effect control CPU (not shown) outputs a signal for driving the LED to the effect light emitting diode (effect LED) 330 and the lamp driver board 35 via an output port (not shown). Further, the effect control CPU outputs a signal for driving the ring motor 320 via the output port. Also, the sound number data is output to the voice control board 70 via the output port.

  In the lamp driver board 35, a signal for driving the LED is input to the LED driver via an input driver (not shown). The LED driver supplies a drive signal to each LED provided on the frame side such as the top frame LED 28a, the left frame LED 28b, and the right frame LED 28c. Further, a drive signal is supplied to the decoration LED 25a provided on the game board side. When a light emitter other than the LED is provided, a drive circuit (driver) for driving the light emitter is mounted on the lamp driver substrate 35.

  In the voice control board 70, the sound number data is input to a voice synthesis IC (not shown) via an input driver (not shown). The voice synthesizing IC generates voice and sound effects corresponding to the sound number data and outputs them to an amplifier circuit (not shown). The amplifier circuit outputs to the speaker 27 an audio signal obtained by amplifying the output level of the voice synthesis IC to a level corresponding to the volume set by the volume. Control data corresponding to sound number data is stored in a sound data ROM (not shown). The control data corresponding to the sound number data is a collection of data showing the output form of the sound effect or sound in a time series in a predetermined period (for example, the changing period of the effect design).

It protrudes outward by L4 (L4≈5 mm). In the present embodiment, the first length L3 is larger than the second length L4 (L3> L4). That is, the protruding amount on the base side fixed to the outer ring 326 is larger than that on the tip side.

  That is, since the outer ring 326 is disposed between the support plate 306L and the reel 301L, the left end portion of the extension portion 321b does not interfere with the support plate 306L during the rotation, but the extension portion 321b If the right end portion extends to the right side of the right support plate 306C, the extending portion 321b interferes with the support plate 306C during rotation, and thus the length does not exceed the support plate 306C.

  A plurality of effect LEDs 330 are arranged at a center position in the width direction (vertical direction) of the LED substrate 331 from the left end portion to the right end portion with a gap L10 therebetween. The left end and right end effect LEDs 330L and 330R are arranged as close as possible to the edge of the LED substrate 331, and the right effect LED 330R on the reel 301L and the left effect LED 330L on the reel 301C The separation width L11 is longer than the gap L10 (L10 <L11).

  The reels 301L, 301C, and 301R are arranged in parallel in the direction of the rotation axis (not shown) with a gap L5 therebetween, and the length L1 in the width direction (left and right direction) of the reel 301L on the LED board 331 is By being longer than the width L2 of the outer peripheral surface of 301L, the gap L6 between the adjacent LED substrates 331 is smaller than the gap L5 between the adjacent reels (L6 = L5-L3-L4). Therefore, the separation width L11 between the effect LED 330R on the right side of the reel 301L and the effect LED 330L on the left side of the reel 301C is arranged so as to be as close as possible to the gap L10 between the effect LEDs 330 arranged in the extending portions 321b. can do.

  As described above, the slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R are integrally assembled with the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R. The slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R are a ring sensor that detects the rotational position of the rotation display body 321 including the ring portion 321a and the extending portion 321b having the effect LED 330, the ring motor 320, and the rotation display body 321. The afterimage video display device of the present invention is configured together with an effect control CPU (not shown) that drives the ring motor 320 and controls the effect LED 330.

  Next, the operation of the slip rings 305L, 305C, 305R will be described.

  The effect control CPU can execute an afterimage display effect for displaying afterimages by means of slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R provided on each of the plurality of reels 301L, 301C, and 301R. Further, when the afterimage is not displayed, the extended portions 321b are not placed in the front and rear positions as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, but are kept at the upper and lower positions of the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R. Thereby, it can be maintained at a position where it is difficult to see from the player side through the see-through window 304a.

  In order to display an afterimage, the rotation display body 321 is rotated in a predetermined direction (upward or downward, see white arrows in FIGS. 6 and 7) by the ring motor 320, and the extending portion 321b is rotated at a predetermined rotation speed. Since it is impossible to obtain a suitable afterimage effect unless it is rotated at a high speed, the production LED 330 is not basically caused to emit light until a predetermined rotation speed at which an afterimage effect can be obtained is reached. When the rotation display body 321 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, the plurality of effect LEDs 330 are caused to emit light in a predetermined lighting pattern in accordance with the rotation position of the rotation display body 321 while maintaining the rotation speed. Various afterimage images can be displayed.

  In the present embodiment, since the extending portions 321b are provided at two locations of the rotation display body 321, the rendering LEDs 330 of the respective extension portions 321b are set in accordance with the rotation position of the rotation display body 321, and predetermined. By emitting light in the lighting pattern, an afterimage display with little flickering feeling can be displayed. In addition, each slip ring 305L, 305C, 305R is individually provided on each reel 301L, 301C, 301R and can be rotated independently, so that it is necessary according to the horizontal width and size of the image to be displayed. Only the slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R need be driven.

  The effect control CPU can display a series of afterimages (images of characters, symbols, pictures, decorations, patterns, characters, etc.) using the plurality of slip rings 305L, 305C, 305R. A series of afterimages using a plurality of slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R are, for example, the letters “Large” on the slip ring 305L, the letters “To” on the slip ring 305C, and “R” on the slip ring 305R. "One big word" constituted by displaying the characters "" and one picture constructed by displaying the picture divided into each slip ring 305L, 305C, 305R (for example, Number “7”) and the like. That is, it includes not only images that are continuous across a plurality of reels 301L, 301C, and 301R, but also images that are composed of a plurality of elements that constitute words, designs, and the like, such as “big hit” characters. Further, for example, a moving image or the like that displays the variable display portion of each of the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R so as to cross the image of the character, symbol, pattern, decoration, pattern, character, etc. from the left side to the right side or from the right side to the left side. included.

  Thus, when displaying a series of afterimages using a plurality of slip rings 305L, 305C, 305R, the length L1 in the left-right direction of the extending portion 321b is longer than the width dimension L2 of the reel (L1> L2), the gap L11 between the effect LEDs 330L, 330R of the adjacent slip rings 305L, 305C, 305R can be minimized. As a result, a gap is created between the production LEDs 330L and 330R corresponding to the adjacent reels to extend the character spacing, the picture is divided, or a moving image crossing the variable display portions of the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R. Is prevented from appearing between the reels 301L, 301C, 301R.

  In addition, the effect control CPU causes the effect LED 330 to emit light after reaching a predetermined rotation speed after the rotation of the rotation display body 321 is started as an effect using the slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R. An effect of displaying an afterimage can be executed, and an effect of causing the effect LED 330 to emit light can be executed after the rotation display body 321 starts to rotate until it reaches a predetermined rotation speed. That is, when it takes a predetermined time (for example, about 1 second) until the rotation speed of the rotation display body 321 reaches a predetermined rotation speed at which an afterimage display is possible, the time until that time is wasted. It is possible to effectively use the period required until the rotation display body 321 reaches the predetermined rotation speed and the effect by the display of the afterimage can be executed.

  In addition, the effect control CPU causes the effect LED 330 to emit light after reaching a predetermined rotation speed after the rotation of the rotation display body 321 is started as an effect using the slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R. A pattern that does not execute an effect for displaying an afterimage, or a pattern that rotates the rotation display body 321 but stops the rotation without causing the effect LED 330 to emit light before reaching a predetermined rotation speed can be executed. It is preferable that

  By doing in this way, even if the rotation of the rotation display body 321 is started, the afterimage display effect is not always executed. Therefore, the afterimage display effect is executed until a predetermined rotation speed is reached. It is possible to maintain the player's expectation for this. That is, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing that the afterimage display effect is executed when the rotation display body 321 starts rotating.

  Such afterimage display effects include, for example, jackpot notices that suggest the possibility of winning big hits, reach notices that suggest the possibility of developing into reach, and operations that promote the operation of push buttons and levers that can be operated by the player Preliminary notice, probable change suggestion suggesting the possibility that the big hit is a probability change big hit, a pseudo-continuous notice that repeats re-variation to variably display again after temporarily suspending the decorative design, and digesting the right that is reserved and stored by the start winning The present invention can be applied as various notice effects such as a prefetch notice that suggests the possibility of a big hit when variably displaying.

  Further, for example, in the pseudo-announcement, the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R are repeatedly rotated and stopped in order to realize the re-variation of the decorative symbols, but the rotation display body 321 is rotated in accordance with the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R. Since the ring motor 320 is loaded when it is stopped or stopped, it is preferable that the rotation display body 321 is always rotated during execution of the pseudo continuous notice.

  In addition, when it is determined that any afterimage is displayed in any hold memory in the pre-reading notice, the rotation display body 321 starts to rotate before the variable display of the hold memory starts, and the hold It is preferable to rotate at a predetermined rotational speed until the variable display of memory is started. By doing in this way, it becomes possible to start the effect by the afterimage image from the start of the rotation of the variable display of the reserved storage that is the object of the pre-reading notice.

  As described above, in the slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R as the embodiments of the present invention, the rotation display body 321 is disposed on each of the plurality of reels 301L, 301C, and 301R, and A series of afterimages can be displayed by causing the production LEDs 330 of the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R to emit light, and the length L1 of the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R in the left-right width direction in the extending portion 321b is the reels 301L and 301C. , 301R is longer than the left-right width dimension L2 (L1> L2).

  In this manner, by providing the slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R separately on each of the plurality of reels 301L, 301C, and 301R, the extending portions 321b in which the production LEDs 330 are arranged are dispersed and lightened, and the ring motor Since 320 can be easily rotated at a high speed without applying a large load, an afterimage image without flickering can be displayed, and an afterimage image can be displayed for each reel.

  Further, the rotation shaft 320a of the slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R is concentric with the rotation shaft of the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R, so that the extending portion 321b is in the same direction as the rotation direction of the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R. And since it rotates along the outer peripheral surface of a reel, even if the rotation display body 321 rotates, the visibility of the variable display of a decoration symbol is not impaired significantly, and the extension part 321b is decorated. Since it moves in the same direction (see the white arrow in FIGS. 6 and 7) in the vicinity of the symbol, an afterimage image without flickering on the variable display portion of the reels 301L, 301C, 301R having a substantially arc shape when viewed from the side is not uncomfortable. In addition to being able to display, the afterimage image can be displayed in the vicinity of the decorative design, so that the variable display of the decorative design can be effectively produced.

  Further, even when there is a gap L5 between the adjacent reels 301L, 301C, 301R, one end of the extending portion 321b of one reel 301 is disposed close to the other end of the extending portion 321b of the other reel 301. This makes it possible to arrange the effect LEDs 330L, 330R of the adjacent reels 301L, 301C, 301R close to each other, so that a gap is generated between the adjacent effect LEDs 330L, 330R, and a series of remaining images are generated. It can be prevented from appearing to be divided. That is, it is possible to display a continuous afterimage image by using the production LED 330 individually provided for each of the plurality of reels 301L, 301C, and 301R.

  In addition, it is conceivable that one long extending portion that crosses the plurality of reels 301L, 301C, and 301R is provided, and an afterimage image can be displayed by rotating the extending portion. When 301C and 301R are unitized and supported individually by the support plates 306L, 306C, and 306R, these support plates 306L, 306C, and 306R obstruct the rotation of the extending portion 321b. It becomes difficult to rotate the extending portion. In addition, since the weight increases when the extending portion is long, not only the period until the rotation speed at which the afterimage image can be displayed is lengthened, but also the ring motor 320 requires a large driving force.

  Thus, like the slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R of the present embodiment, the extending portion 321b is preferably provided for each of the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R. However, as described above, the extension of the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R is provided. There is a gap L5 between which at least the support plates 306L, 306C, and 306R are disposed. As a result, the image displayed when displaying a series of afterimages is divided apart from the display of the individual afterimages, so that the length L1 of the extending portion 321b is reduced to the reels 301L, 301C, 301R. It is preferable to make the gap L11 between the production LEDs 330L and 330R as short as possible by making it longer than the left and right width dimension L2.

  Further, the extending portion 321b is provided so as to rotate along the outer peripheral surface so as to cover a part of the outer peripheral surface of the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R, so that the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R are variable. An afterimage image can be displayed at a position corresponding to the display unit. Therefore, since the effect related to the decorative symbol variably displayed on the variable display portion can be executed at the position corresponding to the variable display portion, the interest of variable display of the decorative symbol can be improved.

  Further, one slip ring 305L, 305C, 305R and the other reel 301L, 301C, 301R are rotatably supported on both surfaces of one support plate 306C, 306R disposed between the reels 301L, 301C, 301R. Therefore, the gap L5 between the reels 301L, 301C, 301R can be shortened as much as possible, and the gap L11 between the adjacent effect LEDs 330L, 330R can be made closer.

  In addition, since the slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R are assembled inside the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R, respectively, the effect variable display unit 300 can be provided without widening the gap L5 between the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R. The left and right width can be made compact.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14A, the extending portion 321b is formed in a tapered shape in which the left end side is connected to the ring motor 320 and the width dimension gradually decreases from the left end side to the right end side. As a result, the structure is simplified because only one end side is connected to the ring motor 320, and the other end side that is the tip is lighter. Can prevent the afterimage from being hindered due to the occurrence of the image.

  Further, when only one end side in the left and right longitudinal direction of the extending part 321b is connected to the ring part 321a to form a cantilever support structure, the left and right gaps of the reels 301L, 301C, and 301R are respectively provided as in the both-end support structure. By arranging the ring portion or the like, the gap between the reels 301L, 301C, 301R does not become long.

  Further, the rotation display body 321 according to the present embodiment has two extending portions 321b and 321b arranged opposite to each other with the rotation shaft 320a interposed therebetween, so that the rotation display body 321 rotates. It is possible to prevent the rotating shaft 320a from being shaken by the centrifugal force.

  Specifically, when only one extending portion 321b is provided on the circumference centered on the rotation shaft 320a, the center of gravity is biased toward the extending portion 321b, and the rotation display body 321 is rotated once. Centrifugal force works in the direction. In particular, the extending portion 321b has a cantilever structure in which only one end side is supported by the outer ring 326, and the rotating shaft 320a is easily pulled toward the extending portion 321b during rotation. The vibration of the rotation of 321 occurs. Therefore, by arranging another extension portion 321b at a position facing each other with the rotation shaft 320a interposed therebetween, the balance of the center of gravity is improved and the balance of rotation is less likely to occur even in the cantilever support structure. In addition, since these two extending portions 321b are connected by an annular outer ring 326, blurring and the like are less likely to occur than those that are independent of each other.

  Further, since the extending portions 321b are respectively arranged at opposing positions on the circumference of the rotation shaft 320a, the upper and lower plates of the case body 302 and the reels 301L, 301C, Since it can be placed in the upper and lower positions where it is difficult to see through the transparent window 304a from the player side, it is extended when not rotating, that is, when an afterimage image is not displayed. The part 321b is not exposed and does not obstruct the variable display of the decorative design.

  Further, since there are two extending portions 321b, it is not necessary to increase the rotational speed necessary for displaying an afterimage image as compared with the case where there is only one portion, so that the driving force of the ring motor 320 is not improved. I'll do it.

  In the present embodiment, the extending portion 321b is disposed at the opposite position on the same circumference with the rotation shaft 320a interposed therebetween, but only one extending portion 321b may be provided, or three or more extending portions 321b may be provided. It may be provided. Further, for example, when three or more are arranged, if each of them is arranged on the circumference centered on the rotation shaft 320a with a gap at each equal rotation angle, the balance of the center of gravity becomes uniform. In this case, it is possible to prevent the rotation shaft 320a from shaking.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, the slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R include a light diffusion lens 332 that diffuses the light from the effect LED 330, and the light diffusion lens 332 includes a plurality of effect LEDs 330, respectively. Since the gap L10 is formed so that it can be covered, the gap L10 between the effect LEDs 330 adjacent to each other is covered with the light diffusion lens 332, so that light easily spreads in the gap. Therefore, the effect LED 330 It is possible to prevent the continuity of afterimages from being scattered due to light scattered even if the gap is not narrowed by adding more.

  In addition, the effect control CPU can execute the effect by the light of the effect LED 330, and after reaching the predetermined rotation speed at which the afterimage can be displayed after the rotation display body 321 starts rotating, First effect executing means for executing an effect of displaying an afterimage image by causing the LED 330 to emit light, and causing the effecting LED 330 to emit light until the rotation display body 321 starts rotating and reaches a predetermined rotational speed. Including a second effect executing means for executing an effect, and the period required until the effect of displaying the afterimage can be executed when the rotation speed of the rotation display body 321 reaches a predetermined rotation speed. It can be used for production.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14C, each effect LED 330 includes a red light emitting element (R), a green light emitting element (G), and a blue light emitting element (B). Since the light from these three light emitting elements is easily mixed by arranging in the vertical direction toward the rotation direction of the rotating display body 321, an afterimage display can be performed with a plurality of colors of light.

  FIG. 15 shows an extended portion 321b as a modified example. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an extended portion as a modified example.

  In the above embodiment, the length L1 of the LED substrate 331 constituting the extending part 321b is longer than the left-right width dimension L2 of the reels 301L, 301C, 301R, but the total length of the left-right width dimension L2 and the gap L5. Shorter than (L1 <L2 + L5). However, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, by making the length L1 of the LED board 331 longer than the total length of the left and right width dimension L2 and the gap L5 (L1> L2 + L5), one end is adjacent. It may be provided so as to overlap the other end of the extending portion 321b of the reel, and the end portions of the extending portion 321b may be arranged so as to overlap each other in the direction intersecting the rotation shaft 320a.

  FIG. 15B shows a diagram in which the gaps (L11) between the adjacent effect LEDs 330L and 330R are longer than the gaps (L10) between the effect LEDs 330 and 330, which are substantially equal. If it can be arranged so that a natural afterimage can be displayed with less discomfort.

  By doing so, there is no gap between the adjacent LED substrates 331, so that the production LEDs 330L and 330R can be arranged closer to each other. Furthermore, by arranging the production LED 330 in the overlapping portion of the LED substrate 331, it becomes possible to make the seam more inconspicuous, and there is no gap between the extending portions of both adjacent reels. It becomes possible to arrange them closer.

  In this embodiment, a light emitting diode (LED) is applied as an example of the light emitting means. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other light emitting means such as a lamp may be used as long as an afterimage image can be displayed. You may apply.

  In addition, the production LEDs 330 are not only arranged in a row with a predetermined gap in the longitudinal direction of the LED substrate 331. For example, as shown in FIG. The LED boards 331 are arranged in a plurality of rows (for example, two rows, etc.) in the longitudinal direction, and the effect LEDs 330 in each row are shifted in the longitudinal direction, and the other row is placed between the effect LEDs 330 in one row. By providing the effect LED 330, since there is no gap between the effect LEDs 330 when the rotation display body 321 is rotated, a more continuous afterimage can be displayed.

  In addition, the extending portion 321b and the plurality of effect LEDs 330 extend substantially parallel to the rotation shaft 320a, but the extension portion 321b and the plurality of effect LEDs 330 extend in the left-right width direction of the reel. As long as it is provided, it does not have to be arranged substantially parallel to the rotation shaft 320a.

  Moreover, in the said Example, the protrusion length from the left-right side edge part of reel 301L, 301C, 301R in the extension part 321b is the direction of the 1st length L3 of the base end part side connected with the ring part 321a. Although it was longer than the second length L4 on the distal end side, the distal end portion side may protrude more than the proximal end portion side.

  Moreover, although the extension part 321b was connected to the cyclic | annular ring part 321a fixed to the ring motor 320 so that rotation was possible, it can support the extension part 321b so that rotation is possible centering | focusing on the rotation axis 320a. If so, the structure of the ring portion 321a is not limited to the annular member.

  Moreover, although the said Example demonstrated the case where this invention was applied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 which is an example of a gaming machine, this invention has arranged the multiple types of identification information which can identify each on the surrounding surface. Any game machine provided with a reel and an afterimage video device can be applied to other game machines such as a slot machine.

  Here, a slot machine to which the present invention is applied will be briefly described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 is a front view showing a slot machine as another example of the gaming machine.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the slot machine 1000 includes a housing whose front surface is open and a front door pivotally supported on one side of the housing. Reeles 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R having a plurality of types of symbols arranged on the outer periphery are juxtaposed in a horizontal direction at an upper position inside the housing, and among the symbols arranged on these reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R, they are continuous. These three symbols are arranged so that they can be seen from the perspective window 1003.

  In addition, at the lower position of the reels 1002L, 1002C, 1002R in the housing, a plurality of types of decorative symbols are arranged on the outer periphery or decorative reels 1301L, 1301C, 1301R are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction, and these decorative reels 1301L, Of the decorative symbols arranged in 1301C and 1301R, three consecutive symbols are arranged so that they can be seen from the effect perspective window 1303.

  The decorative reels 1301L, 1301C, and 1301R are not shown in particular, but are assembled with the slip rings 305L, 305C, and 305R of the above-described embodiment, respectively, so that afterimages can be displayed.

  When a game is played in the slot machine 1000, first, medals are inserted from the medal insertion unit 4, or a bet number is set using credits. To use credit, the MAXBET switch 1006 may be operated. When a predetermined number of bets determined according to the gaming state are set, the pay line L becomes valid and the operation of the start switch 1007 is valid, that is, the game can be started. In the present embodiment, the winning line L is activated when the prescribed number of bets is set to three regardless of the gaming state and the prescribed number of bets is set. In addition, when a medal is inserted exceeding the maximum number out of the prescribed number corresponding to the gaming state, the amount is added to the credit.

  The winning line is a line that is set to determine whether the combination of symbols displayed on the perspective window 1003 of each reel 1002L, 1002C, 1002R is a winning symbol combination. Here, only the winning line L set across the symbols arranged in the lower stage of the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R is defined as the winning line. In this embodiment, one winning line is used, but a plurality of winning lines may be defined.

  When the start switch 1007 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R rotate, and the symbols of the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R continuously vary. When any one of the stop switches 1008L, 1008C, 1008R is operated in this state, the rotation of the corresponding reels 1002L, 1002C, 1002R is stopped, and the display result is derived and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 1003.

  Further, the decorative reels 1301L, 1301C, and 1301R rotate according to the rotation of the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R, and the decorative reels 1301L, 1301C, and 1301R rotate according to the stop of the reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R. Is stopped, and the effect display result is derived in the transparent window 1303.

  When all reels 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R are stopped, one game is completed, and a predetermined symbol combination (hereinafter also referred to as a role) on the winning line L is displayed on each reel 1002L, 1002C, and 1002R. If the game stops as a result, a winning occurs, and a predetermined number of medals are given to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the credit reaches the upper limit number (for example, 50), medals are paid out directly from the medal payout opening 1009.
