That is, the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 is located at the forefront portion in the front-rear direction, the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 is located behind the first fan-shaped blade piece 35, and the third fan-shaped blade is located behind the second fan-shaped blade piece 36. A second spring member 39 is provided between the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 and the second fan-shaped blade piece 36, and the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 and the third fan-shaped blade piece 37. The 1st spring member 38 is provided between these. At this time, the first spring member 38 urges the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 in a direction to advance to the visual recognition area 26a, and urges the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 in a direction to retract from the visual recognition area 26a. Further, the second spring member 39 urges the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 in a direction to advance to the visual recognition area 26a, and urges the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 in a direction to retract from the visual recognition area 26a.

  Next, the operation of the fan-shaped movable decoration device 27 will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the blade member 31 of the fan-shaped movable decoration device 27 is normally in a position where the player cannot visually recognize, that is, a position where the player retracts from the visual recognition area 26a. positioned. In FIG. 11, a region indicated by a dotted line on the right side of the fan-shaped movable decoration device 27 is a visual recognition region 26 a. 11 and 12 show the relationship between the first to fifth protrusions and the first to fourth movement restricting holes 90 when the fan-shaped movable decorative device 27 is located at a position retracted from the visual recognition area 26a.

FIG. 12A shows the relationship between the third movement restriction hole 75 of the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 and the fifth protrusion 89 of the third fan-shaped blade piece 37, and the second movement restriction hole 69 of the second fan-shaped blade piece 36. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between the first protrusions 67 and the second protrusions 67 of the first fan blades 35 and a relationship between the third protrusions 68 of the first fan blades 35 and the second spring members 39. FIG. 12B is a view showing the relationship between the third protrusion 68 and the second spring member 39.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, the drive gear 45 is engaged with the driven gear 93 of the third fan-shaped blade piece 37. When the blade member 31 is located at a position where it is retracted from the visual recognition area 26a, the drive motor 44 having the drive shaft 53 to which the drive gear 45 is attached and fixed is not rotationally driven.

  At this time, the fourth protrusion 81 of the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 biases the one end 38a of the first spring member 38 in the direction A in FIG. Generates resilience. Since the restoring force generated in the first spring member 38 is in the B direction opposite to the A direction with respect to the fourth projecting portion 81 in contact with the one end 38a, the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 is The first spring member 38 is biased in the direction C in FIG. 12A by the restoring force of the first spring member 38.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12A, when the blade member 31 is located at a position where the blade member 31 is retracted from the visual recognition area 26a, the fifth protrusion 89 formed on the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 has the second fan shape. The state which contacted the left end part 75a of the 3rd movement control hole 75 formed in the blade piece 36 is maintained. This is because the second fan blade 36 is biased in the C direction by the first spring member 38.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12B, the third protrusion 68 of the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 urges one end 39a of the second spring member 39 in the direction D in FIG. 12B. Therefore, a restoring force is generated in the second spring member 39. At this time, the force in the D direction and the force in the E direction act using the reference symbol R1 in FIG. 12B as a fulcrum. Further, since the restoring force generated in the second spring member 39 is the E direction opposite to the D direction with respect to the third protrusion 68 in contact with the one end 39a, the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 is The second spring member 39 is biased in the F direction in FIG. 12B by the restoring force of the second spring member 39.

  Further, when the blade member 31 is located at a position where it is retracted from the visual recognition area 26 a, the third protrusion 68 of the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 is the right end portion of the second movement restriction hole 69 of the second fan-shaped blade piece 36. The state which contacted 69b is maintained. This is because the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 is urged in the F direction by the second spring member 39.

  That is, when the blade member 31 is located at a position where the blade member 31 is retracted from the visual recognition area 26a, the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 is biased in the direction of rotating in the F direction by the second spring member 39. However, the relative movement between the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 is restricted by the locking of the second movement restricting hole 69 and the second protrusion 67. Further, the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 is biased by the first spring member 38 in the direction of rotation in the C direction, but is locked by the third movement restricting hole 75 and the fifth protrusion 89. The relative movement between the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 is restricted. Therefore, the first fan-shaped blade piece 35, the second fan-shaped blade piece 36, and the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 are arranged so as to overlap each other by the urging force of the first spring member 38 and the second spring member 39. Maintained. When the blade member 31 is located at a position where it is retracted from the visual recognition area 62a, the first protrusion 65 of the first fan-shaped blade member 35 comes into contact with the left end portion 66a of the first movement restriction hole 66, or Alternatively, the positional relationship is close to the left end portion 66 a of the first movement restriction hole 66.

  Next, the first display mode of the blade member 31 will be described. As shown in FIG. 13, the first display mode is a display mode in which the first fan-shaped blade piece 35, the second fan-shaped blade piece 36, and the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 overlap each other and advance into the visual recognition area 26 a. In the case of the first display mode, the person can visually recognize only the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 as the outer shape of the blade member 31, and the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 via the first light transmitting portion 61. The second decorative portion 72 of the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 and the third decorative portion 86 of the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 are visible.

  The gaming machine 1 produces an effect with the blade member 31 in the first display mode when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, the condition for the gaming machine 1 to place the blade member 31 in the first display mode is that a big hit lottery is performed in a main control unit (not shown). When the jackpot lottery is performed, the gaming machine 1 is configured to perform subsequent games based on the result of the jackpot lottery, and what kind of effect display is provided to improve the player's interest in the game. Whether it is performed in a manner is performed by effect lottery. There are multiple types of effects at this time, including “losing”, “reach”, and “winning” resulting from the jackpot lottery. Production that improves the interests of the player's game. The first display mode is a display mode that is performed even in the effect lottery performed based on the result of any big win lottery of “losing”, “reach”, or “winning” as exemplified above. The “predetermined condition” means that the big hit lottery is performed in the main control unit.

  When the gaming machine 1 intends to place the blade member 31 in the first display mode, a drive signal is output from the sub control unit to the drive motor 44. Upon receiving the drive signal input, the drive motor 44 starts to rotate in the S direction in FIG. 13, and the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 is driven by the drive gear 45 attached and fixed to the tip of the drive shaft 53. A driving force is transmitted to the gear 93.

  The third fan-shaped blade piece 37 to which the driving force has been transmitted starts to rotate in the T direction in FIG. 13 about the rotation shaft 41. At this time, the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 is urged by the second spring member 39 in the direction of rotating in the F direction in FIG. 14, but the second movement restricting hole 69 and the second protrusion 67. , The relative movement between the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 is restricted. Further, the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 is biased by the first spring member 38 in the direction of rotation in the C direction, but is locked by the third movement restricting hole 75 and the fifth protrusion 89. The relative movement between the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 is restricted. Therefore, also in the case of the first display mode, the first fan-shaped blade piece 35, the second fan-shaped blade piece 36, and the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 are moved back and forth by the urging force of the first spring member 38 and the second spring member 39. The visual field 62a is advanced while maintaining the state where it is arranged to overlap.

  When the blade member 31 is rotated in the direction to advance into the visual recognition area 62a, the first protrusion 65 of the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 rotates to the first position where it contacts the right end portion 66b of the first movement restriction hole 66. Move. When rotating to the first position, the first protrusion 65 is in contact with the right end portion 66b of the first movement restricting hole 66, and therefore the first movement restricting hole 66 restricts the rotation operation from the first position to the first position. Is done.

  In the case of the first display mode, the first fan-shaped blade piece 35, the second fan-shaped blade piece 36, and the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 only rotate to the first position while maintaining a state where they overlap each other. The relationship between the third movement restricting hole 75 of the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 and the fifth protrusion 89 of the third fan-shaped blade piece 37, the second movement restricting hole 69 of the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 and the first fan-shaped blade piece. 35 and the relationship between the third protrusion 68 of the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 and the second spring member 39 are located at a position where the blade member 31 is retracted from the visual recognition area 26a. Same as time. 14A, the relationship between the third movement restriction hole 75 and the fifth protrusion 89 is such that the fifth protrusion 89 is in contact with the left end 75a of the third movement restriction hole 75. The relationship between the second protrusion 67 and the second movement restricting hole 69 is such that the second protrusion 67 is in contact with the right end 69 b of the second movement restricting hole 69.

  In the first display mode, the first spring member 38 urges the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 in the direction of advancing to the visual recognition area 26a, and the second spring member 39 causes the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 to move to the visual recognition area 26a. It can be said that it is a display mode in which the first fan-shaped blade piece 35, the second fan-shaped blade piece 36, and the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 overlap in the front-rear direction to advance into the visual recognition area 26a by energizing in the advancing direction.

  Next, the second display mode of the blade member 31 will be described. In the second display mode, the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 and the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 overlap in the front-rear direction and advance into the viewing area 26a, and the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 moves to the viewing area 26a rather than the first fan-shaped blade piece 35. In the second display mode, the player is able to visually recognize the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 and the third fan-shaped blade piece 37.

  The gaming machine 1 produces the wing member 31 in the second display mode when the predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, the conditions for the gaming machine 1 to place the blade member 31 in the second display mode are either “reach” or “win” in the big hit lottery performed in the main control unit (not shown). That is, it has been decided to perform an effect using the second display mode in the effect lottery based on the “reach” or “win” win. Here, when the blade member 31 is set to the second display mode, the blade member 31 rotates with the rotation shaft 41 as the rotation shaft, so that the blade member 31 is visually recognized from the position where it is retracted from the visual recognition area 26a. The display mode is changed step by step between the first display mode and the second display mode, such that the area 26a is advanced and the effect display is performed in the first display mode and then the effect display is performed in the second display mode. Alternatively, the blade member 31 may be rotated about the rotation axis 41 and displayed such that the effect display is performed in the second display mode from the position retracted from the visual recognition area 26a.

  An operation in the case where the gaming machine 1 intends to place the blade member 31 in the second display mode will be described. When the gaming machine 1 attempts to place the blade member 31 in the second display mode, a drive signal is output from the sub control unit to the drive motor 44. Upon receiving the drive signal input, the drive motor 44 starts to rotate in the S direction in FIG. 15 and transmits the drive force to the driven gear 93 of the third fan blade 37 through the drive gear 45. The third fan-shaped blade piece 37 to which the driving force is transmitted starts to rotate in the T direction in FIG. Here, the operation when the blade member 31 is rotated from the position retracted from the visual recognition area 26a to the first position is the same as the operation when the blade member 31 is to be in the first display mode. Description of is omitted.

  In the case of the second display mode, a driving force for rotating in the T direction around the rotation shaft 41 is applied to the blade member 31 that has reached the first position from the drive motor 44 continuously. Then, the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 rotates. At this time, since the first protrusion 65 of the first fan blade 35 is in contact with the right end 66b of the first movement restricting hole 66, the first fan blade 35 is rotated before the first position. Never do. However, due to the driving force from the drive motor 44, the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 further advances in a direction to advance to the visual recognition area 26a. And the 3rd fan-shaped blade piece 37 rotates from the 1st position to the 2nd position where the 1st fan-shaped blade piece 35 and the 3rd fan-shaped blade piece 37 become visible.

  In this case, since the first protrusion 65 of the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 is in contact with the right end 66b of the first movement restricting hole 66 at the first position, the first protrusion 65 is rotated to the second position. In other words, the state in which the first protrusion 65 is engaged with the right end 66b of the first movement restriction hole 66 is maintained. In the following, when shifting from the first display mode to the second display mode, that is, when the blade member 31 is rotated to the second position, the fourth protrusion 81 of the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 and the first spring member. 38 between the first spring member 38 and the third fan-shaped blade piece 37, between the third protrusion 68 of the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 and the second spring member 39. The relationship between the force and the relationship between the second spring member 39 and the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 16A, the fourth protrusion 81 of the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 biases the one end 38a of the first spring member 38 in the G direction. When a force is applied to the first spring member 38 in the G direction with respect to the one end portion 38a, an urging force in the H direction is generated at the other end portion 38b. At this time, since the other end portion 38b of the first spring member 38 is fixed to the first spring member fixing portion 91, the biasing force in the H direction by the first spring member 38 is formed by the first spring fixing portion 91. This acts on the third fan-shaped blade piece 37. Therefore, a force that rotates in the I direction is applied to the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 by the first spring member 38.

  On the other hand, the fourth protrusion 81 urges the one end portion 38a of the first spring member 38 in the G direction, so that the first spring member 38 receives a force in the J direction. Since the fourth projecting portion 81 is formed on the second fan-shaped blade piece 36, the urging force in the J direction by the first spring member 38 acts on the second fan-shaped blade piece 36. Therefore, a force that rotates in the K direction by the first spring member 38 acts on the second fan-shaped blade piece 36.

  As shown in FIG. 16B, the third protrusion 68 of the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 biases one end 39a of the second spring member 39 attached to the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 in the L direction. ing. In this case, since a force is applied to the one end portion 39a of the second spring member 39 in the L direction, a biasing force is generated in the M direction at the other end portion 39b of the second spring member 39. At this time, since the other end portion 39b of the second spring member 39 is fixed to the second spring member fixing portion 76, the urging force in the M direction by the second spring member 39 is formed by the second spring member fixing portion 76. The second fan-shaped blade piece 36 acts on the second fan-shaped blade piece 36, and a force rotating in the N direction acts on the second fan-shaped blade piece 36. Further, in this case, the force for rotating in the L direction, the M direction, and the N direction is based on the position R2 where the third protrusion 68 and the one end 39a of the second spring member 39 in FIG. Works. That is, when changing from the first display mode to the second display mode, the position of the fulcrum moves from the position R1 shown in FIG. 12B to the position R2 shown in FIG.

  Here, when the first display mode is changed to the second display mode, the rotation of the first fan-shaped blade piece 35 is restricted by the engagement between the first protrusion 65 and the right end 66b of the first movement restriction hole 66. Has been. On the other hand, the third fan-shaped blade piece 37 further advances in the direction of advancement to the visual recognition area 26 a by the driving force from the drive motor 44. At this time, the second fan-shaped blade piece 36 receives a force rotating in the K direction by the urging force of the first spring member 38, but simultaneously rotates in the N direction by the urging force of the second spring member 39. I am also receiving power. In the case of changing from the first display mode to the second display mode, the position of the fulcrum moves from R1 (see FIG. 12B) to R2, so that a force in the L direction is applied to the second spring member 39. The magnitude of the acting M-direction force and N-direction force is greatly increased. That is, when the force acting on the second fan blade 36 changes from the first display mode to the second display mode, the direction of the force acting on the second fan blade 36 is reversed from the K direction to the N direction. The magnitude is the difference between the magnitude of the force rotating in the N direction and the magnitude of the force rotating in the K direction.
