It is provided so as to be above the moving region and to be able to rotate counterclockwise from the stored state around the right large shaft 222.

  Thereby, when the right end of the right short protrusion 238 comes into contact with the right large contact end 240 of the effect right large 130 and the right short slider 228 slides further in the right direction, the right end of the right short protrusion 238 becomes the effect right The production right large 130 is rotated counterclockwise by pushing the right large contact end 240 of the large 130 in the right direction. When the right short protrusion 238 further slides in the right direction, the large right contact end 240 of the effect right large 130 rides on the upper surface of the right short protrusion 238, and the effect right large 130 appears. Here, the production right large 130 is restricted so as not to rotate counterclockwise any more when it appears, and the large right contact end 240 of the production right large 130 rides on the upper surface of the right short protrusion 238. In the raised state, it is maintained in the appearance state.

  Then, when the right short slider 228 slides leftward from the position where the effect right large 130 appears, the apex of the right large contact end 240 of the effect right large 130 drops off from the upper surface of the right short protrusion 238. When the right short slider 228 further slides to the left, the appearing effect right large 130 has a center of gravity on the right side of the right large shaft 222 and rotates clockwise due to its own weight to be in the retracted state. Here, the production right large 130 is restricted so as not to rotate further clockwise when in the housed state, and is maintained in the housed state.

The second motor 160 is rotated forward with the right large 130 in the retracted state, and as shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the production left small 120 and the production right small 122 appear. If the second motor 160 is reversed while the production left middle 124, the production right middle 126, the production left large 128, and the production right large 130 are stored, the production left The small production 120 and the production right small 122 are made to appear, but the production left middle 124, the production right middle 126, the production left large 128, and the production right big 130 without making the production right large 130 appear. The effect right small 122 can be made into a stowed state again.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the production left small 120, the production right small 122, the production left middle 124, the production right middle 126, the production left large 128, and the production. The second motor 160 is rotated forward with the right large 130 in the retracted state, and as shown in FIGS. 17 (A) and 17 (B), the production left small 120, the production right small 122, and the production The product left middle 124 and the production right middle 126 are in the appearance state, but if the second motor 160 is reversed while the production left large 128 and the production right large 130 are stored, the production The production left small 120, the production right small 122, the production left middle 124, and the production right middle 126 are made to appear, but the production left large 128 and the production right large 130 are not made to appear. , Production right small 122, production left middle 124, production right middle 126 It can be to fine-storage state.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the production left small 120, the production right small 122, the production left middle 124, the production right middle 126, the production left large 128, and the production right large 130 are operated as described above. For this reason, the number of parts required can be reduced, and the size, weight and assembly can be facilitated.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the production left small 120 and the production right small 122, the production left middle 124 and the production right middle 126, the production left large 128 and the production right large 130 appear sequentially with a time difference. Therefore, each of the left long slider 148, the left middle slider 196, and the left short slider 226 slides in the left-right direction in synchronization with each other, and the right long slider 150, the right middle slider 198, and the right short slider 228 Since each of these slides in the left-right direction in conjunction with each other with a time difference, in the storage state shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the space between the effect left small 120 and the left long slider 148 The interval between the production right small 122 and the right long slider 150, the interval between the production left middle 124 and the left middle slider 196, the interval between the production right middle 126 and the right middle slider 198, and the production left large 1 8 and left spacing of the short protrusion 234, with the respective spacing of the effect was the right size 130 and the right short protrusions 238 on the same can be narrowed respectively.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15A, a production left large 128 is provided so as to overlap the back side of the left short slider 226, and when the left short slider 226 slides to the left, the left short protrusion 234 is left large. The production right large 130 is provided so as to contact the contact end 236 and overlap the back side of the right short slider 228. When the right short slider 228 slides in the right direction, the right short protruding portion 238 becomes the right large contact end 240. Therefore, the left short slider 226 and the right short slider 228 are set to the left and right lengths so that the length of the left short slide hole 230 and the right short slide hole 232 can be secured. The interval between 128 and the production right large 130 can be narrowed.

  In FIG. 20A, the production left small 120, the production right small 122, the production left middle 124, the production right middle 126, the production left large 128, and the production right large 130 appear. It is a perspective view which shows the external appearance structure of the 3 movable object 132. FIG. As shown in FIG. 20A, on the upper surface of the base part 134, the production left small 120, the production right small 122, the production left middle 124, the production right middle 126, the production left large 128, and the production right A second LED 242 that irradiates light from below to above is provided on the front side of each of the large 130, and the appearance material left small 120, the production right small 122, the production left middle 124, the production Each of the middle right 126, the production left large 128, and the production right large 130 is lit up.

  Here, each of the plurality of second LEDs 242 has a light irradiation angle of about 60 ° upward from the horizontal direction so that even if the player looks into the upper surface of the base portion 134 from above, the light is not irradiated to the player's eyes. It is set. Then, since the second LED 242 cannot illuminate the upper part so much, the effect left small 120, the effect right small 122, the effect left middle 124, and the effect right middle 126 in the appearance state are relatively low. Although the light-up effect can be effectively performed, light does not reach the upper part of the production left large 128 and the production right large 130 that are relatively high in the appearance state, and the light up production is effective. Can not do. Therefore, in this embodiment, the production left large 128 and the production right large 130 are attached to the base part 134 so that the light reaches the upper part of the production left large 128 and the production right large 130 as well.

  FIG. 20B is a side view of FIG. As shown in FIG. 20 (B), in this embodiment, the production left small 120, the production right small 122, the production left middle 124, and the production right middle 126 are substantially in the vertical direction in the appearance state. Although it is attached to the base part 134, the production left large 128 and the production right large 130 are attached to the base part 134 so that the upper part is slightly inclined to the player side in the appearance state. As a result, the light from the second LED 242 also reaches the top of the production left large 128 and the production right large 130.

  Thus, in this embodiment, even if the player looks into the upper surface of the base portion 134 from above, even if the irradiation angle of each of the plurality of second LEDs 242 is set so that light is not irradiated to the player's eyes, the height in the appearance state is increased. It is possible to effectively perform a light-up effect even on a relatively large production left 128 and production right 130.

4). Functional Block FIG. 21 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine of this embodiment. The gaming machine of this embodiment is controlled by a control board including a main board 500 and a sub board 600. The main board 500 receives input signals from the input means such as the pass gate sensor 502, the start winning port sensor 504, the big winning port sensor 506, the payout sensor 508, and performs various calculations for executing the game. Based on the result, the operation control of the output means such as the normal accessory driving device 520, the special accessory driving device 522, and the payout device 524 is performed.

  In addition, the sub board 600 receives the signal sent from the main board 500 and the input signal from the production button switch 602, and performs various calculations for executing the production according to the progress of the game. Based on the control, the operation control of the effect device 626 such as the effect display device 620, the sound device 622, the movable object drive device 624 is performed. The functions of each board such as the main board 500 and the sub board 600 include various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of information storage medium), hardware such as RAM, ROM This is realized by software composed of a given program stored in advance.

  The main board 500 includes a random number generation means 540, a normal lottery means 542, a normal drive control means 544, a special lottery means 546, a game state transition control means 548, a special drive control means 550, a payout control means 552, a communication control means 554, A main memory 570 is included.

  The random number generation means 540 is a means for generating random numbers for lottery, and is realized by a random number generator for generating hardware random numbers or a program for generating software random numbers. For example, the software random number can be generated based on a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In this embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Includes a value that can function as a random number.

  The normal lottery means 542 acquires a random number value (random number value for lottery) from the random number generating means 540 based on a passing signal from the passing gate sensor 502 that operates each time one game ball passes the passing gate 40. Then, a normal lottery is performed to determine whether the acquired random number is normal or not.

  When the normal winning is won in the normal lottery, the normal drive control means 544 controls the normal accessory driving device 520 so that the normal accessory 44 is in an enlarged state under a predetermined condition.

  The special lottery means 546 obtains a random number value (random number value for lottery) from the random number generating means 540 based on a winning signal from the start winning port sensor 504 that operates each time one game ball wins the starting winning port 42. Obtaining and determining whether or not the jackpot is won for the obtained random number value, and if the jackpot is won, a special lottery is performed to determine whether the probability variation symbol or the normal symbol is won.

  The gaming state transition control means 548 performs a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state between the normal state, the probability variation jackpot state, the normal jackpot state, the probability variation state, and the short time state based on the establishment of a predetermined transition condition. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and the transition from the normal state to the probability variation big hit state or the normal big hit state is possible.

  The probability variation jackpot state is started on the basis of the fact that the probability variation symbol is won in the special lottery in the normal state or the probability variation state, and in the probability variation jackpot state, the special object 48 is opened under a predetermined condition and then is closed. The process ends on the condition that this is repeated 15 times. Then, the gaming state transition control means 548 transitions the gaming state to the probability variation state when the probability variation jackpot state ends.

  The normal jackpot state is started based on the fact that the normal symbol is won in the special lottery in the normal state or the probability variation state. In the normal jackpot state, the special object 48 is opened under a predetermined condition and then closed. The process ends on the condition that this is repeated 15 times. Then, the gaming state transition control means 548 transitions the gaming state to the normal state when the normal jackpot state ends.

  The probability variation state is transferred on the condition that the probability variation jackpot state has ended, and the transition from the probability variation state to the probability variation jackpot state or the normal jackpot state is possible, but the number of special lotteries performed in the probability variation state is It ends on condition that it has reached 70 times. Then, the gaming state transition control means 548 shifts the gaming state to the normal state when the probability variation state ends. In the probability variation state, a special lottery is performed so that the probability of winning the jackpot is higher than in the normal state, or so that the probability of winning the probability variation symbol when the jackpot is won is increased. Also, in the probability variation state, the time required for one special lottery is shortened, and the special lottery execution trigger can be frequently reached.

  The time-short state is started when the gaming state is shifted to the normal state on the condition that the normal jackpot state is ended or the probability variation state is ended, and the number of times that the special lottery is performed in the time-short state is The process ends on the condition that it has reached 100 times. In the short-time state, the time required for one special lottery is shortened, and the special lottery execution trigger can be frequently reached.

  The special drive control means 550 is specially configured to repeat 15 times that the special accessory 48 is opened under a predetermined condition and then closed when the probability variation jackpot state or the normal jackpot state is started. Drive control of the accessory driving device 522 is performed.

  Based on the winning signal from the start winning mouth sensor 504 or the winning signal from the big winning mouth sensor 506, the payout control means 552 receives game balls having a payout number corresponding to a predetermined number of winning balls for each winning signal. The payout device 524 is controlled to pay out.

  The communication control unit 554 performs control to transmit a signal to the sub board 600. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 500 to the sub board 600 is possible between the main board 500 and the sub board 600, and from the sub board 600 to the main board 500. Communication connection is established so that signals cannot be transmitted.

  Next, the sub substrate 600 will be described. The sub board 600 includes an effect control means 640 and a sub memory 670.

  The effect control means 640 controls the effect display device 620 based on the notification signal transmitted from the main board 500, the input signal from the effect button switch 602, and the effect data stored in the sub memory 670. The frame lamp 12 and the display frame lamp 38 are turned on or blinked, an effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, an effect sound is output from the speaker 14 by controlling the acoustic device 622, and the movable object driving device 624 is driven. Then, by controlling the effect device 626 such as operating the first movable object 70, the second movable object 72, and the third movable object 132, the game is excited or the effect for assisting the game is executed. .

  For example, a special lottery effect process, a state effect process, and the like are performed in response to the occurrence of a game event such as winning a game ball at the start winning opening 42, an operation on the effect button 26, or a change in the game state.

  In the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 640 causes the effect device 626 to execute a special variation effect that produces a special lottery based on the notification signal transmitted from the main board 500. In the present embodiment, the effect control means 640 causes the special symbol image to be variably displayed by cyclically varying seven types of Arabic numeral images from “1” to “7” at three locations in the central portion of the liquid crystal display 32. After that, the special symbol image is stopped and displayed in a mode according to the result of the special lottery, and the character image is operated on the liquid crystal display 32 or the variation effect image for changing the background image is displayed. The effect is executed on the liquid crystal display 32.

  Furthermore, the effect control means 640 operates the first movable object 70, the second movable object 72, and the third movable object 132 in accordance with the special symbol image and the variable effect image as the special variable effect. Specifically, the production control means 640 raises or lowers the first movable object 70 by rotating the first motor 80 forward or backward, or causes the maintenance unit 100 to be in the projecting state or the non-projecting state. The left object 120 of the rendering is maintained by releasing or moving the movable object 72 in the first position, turning on or off the first LED 112, turning on or off the second LED 242, or rotating the second motor 160 forward or backward. The production right small 122, the production left middle 124, the production right middle 126, the production left large 128, and the production right large 130 are made to appear or be stored.

  Here, in the present embodiment, premium reach, super reach 1, super reach 2, normal reach, and no reach are prepared as the execution types of the special variation effect, and the effect control means 640 is based on the result of the special lottery. The execution type of the variation effect is determined to be any of a plurality of execution types. The special variation effects for each execution type are different in the display pattern of the special symbol image and the variation effect image, and the operation patterns of the first movable object 70, the second movable object 72, and the third movable object 132, and the result of the special lottery. The probability of selection depending on the execution time and the execution time from the start to the end are different. As a result, the special variation effects of each execution type have different expectations for winning the probability variation symbol or the normal symbol when the special variation effect of each execution type is executed.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, when premium reach is selected as the execution type of the special variation effect, the effect control means 640 causes the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 to be at the lower limit position as shown in FIG. In this state, the production left small 120, the production right small 122, the production left middle 124, the production right middle 126, the production left large 128, and the production right large 130 appear. As shown in FIG. 3, after reaching the retracted state as shown in FIG. 2, the premium reach that rises until the first movable object 70 reaches the upper limit position while the second movable object 72 is maintained at the lower limit position. The first movable object 70 and the third movable object 132 are operated in a pattern.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the effect control means 640 turns on the first LED 112 in a state where the first movable object 70 is at the upper limit position while the second movable object 72 is maintained at the lower limit position. The effect light of the 1st aspect which looks like light progresses radially within 1 lens 110 is output with respect to a player.

  When super reach 1 is selected as the execution type of the special variation effect, the effect control unit 640 maintains the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 at the lower limit position as shown in FIG. In this state, the production left small 120, the production right small 122, the production left middle 124, and the production right middle 126 appear, but the production left large 128 and the production right large 130 do not appear. The third movable object 132 is operated in the super reach 1 pattern in which the effect left small 120, the effect right small 122, the effect left middle 124, and the effect right middle 126 are again stored.

  When super reach 2 is selected as the execution type of the special variation effect, the effect control unit 640 maintains the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 at the lower limit position as shown in FIG. In the state, the production left small 120 and the production right small 122 are in the appearance state, but the production left middle 124, the production right middle 126, the production left large 128, and the production right large 130 are not in the appearance state. Then, the third movable object 132 is operated in a super reach 1 pattern in which the effect left small 120 and the effect right small 122 are stored again.

  Then, the effect control means 640 displays a special symbol image or a variable effect image on the liquid crystal display 32 in accordance with the operations of the first movable object 70 and the third movable object 132. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, when the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 are at the lower limit position, a special symbol image and a variable effect image are displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display 32. However, as shown in FIG. 3, when the first movable object 70 is at the upper limit position, the display area A1 (other than the specific area) that is not covered by the first movable object 70 among the display areas of the liquid crystal display 32. In the area), a special symbol image and a variation effect image are displayed. In addition, when the first movable object 70 is moved up or down, a special display area that is not covered by the first movable object 70 that changes according to the rise or fall of the first movable object 70 is used. A design image and a variation effect image are displayed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, when the production left small 120, the production right small 122, the production left middle 124, the production right middle 126, the production left large 128, and the production right large 130 appear. In the display area A2 that is not covered by the production left small 120, the production right small 122, the production left middle 124, the production right middle 126, the production left large 128, and the production right large 130, A variation effect image is displayed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 22, when the production left small 120, the production right small 122, the production left middle 124, and the production right middle 126 appear, the production left small 120 and the production right small 122, the special design image and the variation effect image are displayed in the display area A3 that is not covered by the effect left middle 124 and the effect right middle 126. As shown in FIG. 23, when the effect left small 120 and the effect right small 122 appear, the special symbol is displayed in the display area A4 that is not covered by the effect left small 120 and the effect right small 122. An image and a variation effect image are displayed.

  Then, the production control means 640 is special so that three Arabic numeral images such as “111” or “333” or “555” or “777” are arranged in an odd number when a probable variation symbol is won in the special lottery. When the symbol image is stopped and displayed and the normal symbol is won in the special lottery, the special symbol image is stopped so that three Arabic numeral images such as “222”, “444” or “666” are evenly arranged. If none of the jackpots are won and the execution type of the special variation effect is any reach, the two Arabic numeral images such as “383” are the same, but 1 Two Arabic numeral images have special reach images stopped in different reach-losing states, and no special jackpot was won, If execution type is no leech, by stopping displaying the special symbol images of three Arabic numerals images are different as such as "283" to display the result of the special lottery on the liquid crystal display 32.

  In the state effect process, the effect control unit 640 operates the character image on the liquid crystal display 32 according to the current gaming state, changes the background image, or the like based on the notification signal transmitted from the main board 500. By operating the first movable object 70 or the second movable object 72, a state effect that suggests the current gaming state to the player is executed.

  For example, when the current gaming state is a normal state, the production control means 640 performs a production state transition lottery every time a special lottery is performed, and the production state is set to any production state among a plurality of types of production states. Decide whether to set. Then, the effect control unit 640 displays a normal state image corresponding to the set effect state on the liquid crystal display 32. In addition, when the current gaming state is a probability variation state, the effect control means 640 displays a probability variation state image that suggests that the current gaming state is a certain probability variation state, and the current gaming state is shortened. If it is, the liquid crystal display 32 suggests that the current gaming state is a short-time state, and displays a short-time state image indicating the remaining number of times until the number of special lotteries reaches 100 times. When the current gaming state is the probability variation jackpot state or the normal jackpot state, the liquid crystal display 32 indicates that the current gaming state is the probability variation jackpot state or the normal jackpot state, and also shows a jackpot state image indicating the number of remaining rounds. (Specific effect image) is displayed.

  Particularly in the present embodiment, when the current gaming state is a probable big hit state or a normal big hit state (specific game state), the effect control means 640, as shown in FIG. The first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 are operated in a jackpot state pattern that rises until the movable object 72 reaches the upper limit position. In detail, the production control means 640 controls the maintenance unit 100 to the non-projecting state by exciting the solenoid of the maintenance unit 100 when the gaming state shifts to a probable big hit state or a normal big hit state. The rise of the second movable object 72 due to is released.

  Then, when the first movable object 70 is already at the upper limit position, the second movable object 72 is also raised to the upper limit position by the urging force of the arm 94. On the other hand, when the first movable object 70 is at the lower limit position, the second movable object 72 remains at the lower limit position because the restriction of the first movable object 70 restricts the rise of the second movable object 72. However, as the first motor 80 is rotated forward, the first movable object 70 is moved up to the upper limit position, and the second movable object 72 is also moved up to the upper limit position.

  Then, the effect control means 640 turns on the first LED 112 with the first movable object 70 at the upper limit position and the second movable object 72 at the upper limit position, so that the light transmitted through the first lens 110 is second. The effect light of the 2nd aspect which the inside of the lens 114 is scattered and the display plate 116 seems to shine lightly is output with respect to a player.

  The second movable object 72 is also moved as the first movable object 70 is lowered until the first movable object 70 reaches the lower limit position when the first motor 80 is reversed when the probability variation big hit state or the normal big hit state ends. Move down to the lower limit position.

  Then, the effect control means 640 displays the big hit state image on the liquid crystal display 32 in accordance with the operations of the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, when the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 are at the upper limit position, the first movable object 70 and the second movable object in the display area of the liquid crystal display 32. The big hit state image is displayed in the display area A5 that is not covered with the area 72. When the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 are moved up and down, the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 change according to the rise or fall of the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72. The big hit state image is displayed in the display area not covered with the movable object 70 and the second movable object 72.

  In this way, in this embodiment, when the gaming state is the probability variation big hit state or the normal big hit state, the player can emit the second mode effect light while maintaining the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 at the upper limit position. Is displayed on the display area that is not covered by the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72, and the gaming state is determined to be a promising big hit state or a normal big hit state. Can be easily informed to the person.

5. Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be introduced below. Note that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and employed as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, when the second movable object 72 is not maintained at the lower limit position, the restriction unit 104 of the first movable object 70 causes the second movable object 72 to overlap the near side of the first movable object 70. Although the example in which the ascent of the second movable object 72 is restricted has been described, the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 do not overlap even when the second movable object 72 is not maintained at the lower limit position. Thus, the rise of the second movable object 72 may be restricted by the restriction unit 104. In this case, the rising of the second movable object 72 may be restricted by the restriction unit 104 in a state where the second movable object 72 is positioned below the first movable object 70, or the first movable object 70 may be restricted. The rising of the second movable object 72 may be restricted by the restricting unit 104 in a state where the second movable object 72 is positioned above. Further, the first movable object 70 may be operated on the front side of the second movable object 72.

  In the above embodiment, the first movable object 70 is stored when the first movable object 70 is at the lower limit position, and the second movable object 72 is stored when the second movable object 72 is at the lower limit position. As described above, even if the first movable object 70 is in the lower limit position, the first movable object 70 is not stored, and the second movable object 72 is in the lower limit position even if the second movable object 72 is in the lower limit position. 72 may not be stored.

  In the above embodiment, the first movable object 70 is raised and lowered between the upper limit position and the lower limit position, and the second movable object 72 is raised and lowered between the upper limit position and the lower limit position. However, the moving direction of the first movable object 70 and the moving direction of the second movable object 72 may be the left-right direction, the front-rear direction, or an oblique direction between them.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the 1st movable object 70 linearly moves reciprocably between an upper limit position and a minimum position, and the 2nd movable object 72 linearly moves reciprocally between an upper limit position and a lower limit position. As described above, the first movable object 70 rotates reciprocally between the first position and the second position, and the second movable object 72 can reciprocate between the first position and the second position. You may make it rotate.

  In the above-described embodiment, the six effects of the third movable object 132 are between the storage state stored in the first movable object 70 and the appearance state that appears so as to cover a part of the liquid crystal display 32. Although an example of operation has been described, six effects may be operated between two states that are not housed in the base unit 134. For example, six effects operate between a first appearance state that does not cover the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 but is visible to the player, and a second appearance state that covers a part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32 You may make it do. In addition, six effects may be operated between two states regardless of the display area of the liquid crystal display 32.

  In the above-described embodiment, each of the six sliders of the third movable object 132 has been described as an example of linearly reciprocating between the reference position and the limit position. Each of the sliders may rotate so as to reciprocate between a reference position and a limit position.

  In the above-described embodiment, the six effects of the third movable object 132 have been described by taking an example in which each tip moves between a state indicating the horizontal direction and a state indicating the upward direction. May be configured to operate between a downward state (first state) in which the respective tips point downward and a lateral state (second state) in which the lateral direction indicates. Even in this way, the six effects can return from the horizontal state to the downward state by their own weight.

  Further, in the above embodiment, by forming the upper surface of the left long slider 148 in a plane, the left long slider 148 slides to the left while contacting the vertex of the left small contact end 184 with the upper surface of the left long slider 148, Although the example in which the effect left small 120 is maintained in the appearance state has been described, the upper surface of the left long slider 148 is formed into a curved surface that is undulated in the vertical direction, whereby the left small contact end is formed on the upper surface of the left long slider 148. When the left long slider 148 slides to the left while contacting the vertex of 184, the effect left small 120 may be maintained in the appearance state while rotating along the undulations.

  In the above embodiment, when the current gaming state is a probable big hit state or a normal big hit state, the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 are raised up to the upper limit position. When the current gaming state is a certain effect state in the probability variation state, the short time state, or the normal state, the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 may be raised to the upper limit position. Further, the third movable object 132 may be operated when the current gaming state is the specific gaming state.

  In the above embodiment, the third movable object 132 is operated when the specific reach pattern is selected, but the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 70 are selected when the specific reach pattern is selected. The movable object 72 may be operated.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the third movable object 132 operates in a state where the first movable object 70 and the second movable object 72 are maintained at the lower limit position has been described. The third movable object 132 may be operated with the movable object 72 raised from the lower limit position, or the third movable object 132 is operated while the first movable object 70 or the second movable object 72 is raised or lowered. You may make it do.
