JP2003-164577

  In the case of Patent Document 1, the speaker is merely a means for vibrating the handle, and the speaker itself is not configured to attract the player's interest.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to enable a variety of effects utilizing the original functions of a speaker.

The gaming machine of the present invention made to achieve such an object is configured to output music, voice, and the like using a fixed speaker attached to a predetermined position, and further includes the following configuration. It is characterized by that.
(1) An effect speaker is provided in addition to the fixed speaker, and a speaker effect is performed in which the emission position or transmission direction of the sound emitted from the effect speaker is associated with the reliability of the effect on the result of the lottery game. Provide speaker production execution means.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1A, the gaming machine of the present invention includes a fixed speaker SP0, and outputs a BGM, production sound, and the like as in the conventional case. As shown in FIGS. 1B to 1F, the gaming machine of the present invention is provided with an effect speaker SP1 and the like separately from the fixed speaker SP0, and these effect speakers SP1 by the speaker effect execution means M1.

(9) The movable member KD4 includes an audio guiding member KD4a that forms an audio transmission path of the effect speaker SP2.

These gaming machines of the present invention may further have the following configuration.
(10) The production speaker is a speaker configured to output sound with high directivity.

  For example, a speaker dedicated to a high frequency range or a speaker equipped with a horn corresponds to this. Since the gaming machine of the present invention also has the configuration of (10), it is possible to directly hear a sound that leaks due to the presence or absence of a shielding object, the moved position, or the guidance of the voice guiding member. Sounds and sounds that can be heard while moving can be expressed more accurately.

  The gaming machine according to the present invention has the configuration (1), so that it can not only serve as a sound output means but also perform a speaker effect in which the sound emission position is changed or the sound transmission direction is changed. Therefore, it is possible to perform an effect informing the player that the reliability of the lottery game result varies depending on the release position or the transmission direction.

  Since the gaming machine of the present invention has the configuration (2), such a discharge position and transmission direction can be changed by the operation of the movable member.

  Since the gaming machine of the present invention has the configuration (3), as shown in FIG. 1 (B), sound is emitted by changing the emission position between the edge of the gaming area and the center of the gaming area. A speaker effect in which the position and the reliability of the effect are associated can be executed.

  Since the gaming machine of the present invention has the configuration (3A), as illustrated in FIGS. 1 (B) and (C), only the discharge position is changed between the edge of the gaming area and the center of the gaming area. Alternatively, the “sounding sound” shielded by the movable member KD1b can be switched to the “good sound” that the movable member KD1b moves and is not shielded. In addition, in the example of FIGS. 1B and 1C, it is possible to stop at the intermediate position other than the edge and center of the game area so that the reliability of the performance can be expressed more finely, or the sound is played in the rocking state. It is also possible to set the reliability of the production when outputting.

  Since the gaming machine of the present invention has the configuration (4), even if the sound control means M3 outputs the sound of the same sound volume / sound quality / sound source, the game machine of the present invention can be operated from a plurality of operating states by the movable member control means M2. It is possible to give changes such as being heard in a humorous state, sounding well on the street, audible from the edge, audible from the center, or audible when the sound source is moving. Therefore, it is possible to finely set the reliability of the production without increasing the sound source data.

  Since the gaming machine of the present invention has the configuration of (5), it is possible to express the reliability of the performance by voice with a finer setting. For example, when outputting sound during swinging by the movable member KD1, the volume is changed so that the volume is reduced at the swing end and the sound is increased at the center of the swing range, or the pitch is adjusted within the swing range. If you want to change it, you can perform speaker production with voice with a sense of distance and speed like the Doppler effect.

  Since the gaming machine of the present invention has the configurations (6) to (9), the operation of the movable member KD1 and the like can be felt by the player as a movable body effect.

  In the present invention, the reliability of performance may include not only the possibility of winning a jackpot but also the possibility of a probable promotion. In other words, the present invention can be applied to any effects that have different degrees of expectation and effects that output sound. Moreover, when a movable member is provided, the case where a movable member does not operate can also be included in the speaker effect. Furthermore, the direction and amount of movement of the movable body can be changed depending on the reliability of the effect. For example, in the example of FIG. 1C, a case where the movable body KD2 is swung upward rather than downward, or a case where the movable body KD2 returns to the original position instead of the middle position of the swing range is added as an operational state. By making it have a relationship with the reliability of the production, it is possible to realize more detailed settings, a production with a stronger impact, and the like.

  Note that the change in the direction along the board surface of the game board and the change in the angle with the board surface of the game board are particularly effective as the sound emission position and the sound transmission direction. The production speaker SP1 and the like are not limited to those provided on the game board. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 (E), a speaker that rotates itself may be provided on the front frame or the like. Good.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to make various effects utilizing the original functions of the speaker.

[1 Overview of the entire gaming machine]
The pachinko machine of Example 1 is demonstrated in detail based on drawing. In the examples, “left” or “right” indicates “left” or “right” when viewed from the front side (front side) of the pachinko machine. First, a basic configuration of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment will be briefly described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine P according to the first embodiment includes an outer frame A, an inner frame B, a game board 1, a front frame D, an upper ball tray E, a lower ball tray F, and a launcher G. ing. The outer frame A is a vertical rectangular frame that forms the outline of the pachinko machine P. The middle frame B is a vertical rectangular frame for setting various game components, and is assembled to the front side of the outer frame A so as to be openable and detachable. The game board 1 is attached to the opening of the middle frame B. The front frame D is a see-through protective window of the game board 1 and is assembled to the front side of the middle frame B so that it can be opened and closed by operating the locking device H. The upper ball tray E is a tray for lending balls or prize balls, and is configured integrally with the lower portion of the front frame D in this embodiment. Therefore, when the front frame D is opened and closed with respect to the middle frame B, the upper ball tray E is also opened and closed together. The lower ball receiving tray F is a receiving tray that receives a game ball discharged when the upper ball receiving tray E is full, a game ball that has been knocked down, and the like, and is fixed to the lower portion of the middle frame B. The launching device G is a device for launching a game ball sent from the upper ball receiving tray E to the launching rail with a strength corresponding to the handle operation, and is installed in the lower right portion of the middle frame B.

  The middle frame B includes an upper frame member B1 that forms an upper edge, a lower frame member B2 that forms a lower edge and is provided with a launcher G, a left frame member B3 that forms a left edge, and a right frame member that forms a right edge B4 is formed in a rectangular frame shape that aligns with the opening of the outer frame A when the upper, lower, left, and right frame members B1 to B4 are assembled. An opening portion that opens when the upper, lower, left, and right frame members B1 to B4 are assembled functions as a game board holding portion B5 on which the game board 1 is installed. Here, the middle frame B is pivotally supported via support shafts provided at the upper left end and the lower left end of the outer frame A, and is rotated to the outer frame A by rotating the middle frame B around the left end. On the other hand, the middle frame B can be opened and closed. Note that fixed speakers SP0 and SP0 are also installed in the lower part of the gaming machine.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the game board 1 is provided with a center accessory 3 having a liquid crystal display device LCD. A start winning opening 11 is arranged immediately below the center accessory 3, and when a game ball wins the start winning opening 11, the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device LCD start changing. Therefore, the space between the liquid crystal display device LCD and the start winning opening 11 is a place where the player pays attention. In addition to these components, the game board 1 is provided with various components such as a special prize opening 12 and normal prize winning openings 13 to 16.

  The game board 1 is provided with various movable objects. As shown in FIG. 3 (B), the logo provided on the center decoration upper part is a logo movable body accessory 100 that is split into two and falls while spreading to the left and right. The first production speaker SP2 is installed behind the logo movable body accessory 100. When the logo movable body accessory 100 is raised, the front is closed, and the logo movable body accessory 100 is The front is opened when it falls.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3C, a pendulum accessory 200 is also provided that swings from the right side of the center decoration toward the center and opens the shutter 210 at the tip. At the tip of the pendulum accessory 200, there is provided an effect second speaker SP2 whose front is opened when the shutter 210 is opened.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (D), a third speaker SP3 for effecting is provided at the lower part of the center ornament, the sound emitting surface being directed forward by rotating around the vertical axis. The front surface of the third effect speaker SP3 is protected by a transparent wall 300.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 (E), these three performance speakers SP1 to SP3 are arranged in a vertical line in the center of the game board and show a sound emitting surface toward the front. Can also be executed.

[2 Configuration of control device]
As shown in FIG. 4, a winning detection sensor SE1, which detects a winning of a game ball in each winning opening provided in the game board 1 with respect to a main control board 310 having a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, a clock and the like. SE2,..., Detection signals from the discharge ball detection sensors SE11 and SE12 for detecting that the game ball has been discharged to the ball discharge passage of the back unit are input. In addition, commands are output from the main control board 310 to the sub-control board 320, the payout control board 330, and the launching device G.

  The launcher G executes launch / stop of a hit ball in accordance with a control command from the main control board 310. The stop of the hit ball is instructed when, for example, some error occurs. The payout control board 330 executes payout of prize balls in accordance with a payout command from the main control board 310. The number of prize balls to be paid out is determined in advance according to which winning opening. The main control board 310 also has a function of outputting an error signal to the hall computer 400 via the external output terminal of the payout control board 330.

  Based on the effect command signal from the main control board 310, the sub control board 320 controls the light emitting device LED provided in the decorative member such as the liquid crystal display device LCD, the center accessory 3, and the fixed speaker SP0. Is output, and a display effect, a light emission effect, and a sound effect are executed. The sub-control board 320 includes solenoids SOL1 and SOL2 that drive the logo movable body accessory 100, a motor MT1 that rotates the pendulum accessory 200, and a motor that executes the opening and closing operation of the shutter 210 at the tip of the pendulum accessory 200. The control signal is also output to MT2, the motor MT3 that rotates the third speaker SP3 for presentation around the vertical axis, and the first to third speakers SP1 to SP3 for presentation, and the movable body effect and the sound effect are executed. .

[3 Control processing (Prize ball payout)]
When a winning detection signal is input from the winning detection sensors SE1 to SE5 by the control system shown in FIG. 5A, the main control board 310 receives a winning ball payout command corresponding to the number of winning ball payouts corresponding to each sensor. Is issued to the payout control board 330. In response to this, the payout control board 330 executes a payout operation of a predetermined number of prize balls corresponding to the winning holes of the game balls.

  This winning ball payout control is executed as an arithmetic processing routine as shown in FIG. 5B, and it is determined whether or not the detection signals from the winning detection sensors SE1 to SE5 are input (S10), and “YES” is determined. If determined, a prize ball payout signal specifying the sensor is output to the payout control board 330 (S20), and a lottery processing routine is started (S30).

[4 Control processing (random lottery)]
Further, when a winning detection signal from the winning detection sensors SE1 and SE2 at the start winning opening is inputted by the control system shown in FIG. Random number lottery processing stored in the RAM as the sphere storage information is executed.

  Here, the gaming machine according to the present embodiment obtains a random number in response to a winning at a start winning opening provided below the center character, and draws “win” or “out”. “Hit” is “2R normal”, “2R probability change”, “15R normal change”, “15R probability change”, etc. Are executed as “hit type determination” performed separately. “2R” and “15R” mean the number of rounds of a special game, and “probability” means a gaming state with a high probability (also referred to as “probability fluctuation”) that has a high probability of winning a jackpot by lottery after the end of the special game. Means the case. “Normal” means a case where “probability change” does not occur after the end of the special game. Further, in the case of “2R”, the game is in a game state in which a special winning opening is opened and closed for a short period of time in a pseudo manner, and substantial play cannot be expected.

  Following the “Win / Lo” lottery, a random number lottery is selected for the variation pattern. In the case of “winning”, as described above, since there are a plurality of types of hits with different advantages for the player, depending on which of these types of hits, the variation pattern with different winning probabilities is, for example, , A to C are provided in plural. This variation pattern has a length of variation time. Specifically, the variation time differs for each variation pattern. The processing up to this point is executed as processing of the main control board 310. Based on the variation pattern determined by the main control board 310 in this manner, an effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern is drawn on the sub-control board 320 side. For example, when the variation patterns are A to C, the production pattern is a production pattern in which any one of the production patterns A1 to An prepared for the variation pattern A is provided for the variation pattern B. A process is executed in which any one of the production patterns C1 to Cn prepared for the variation pattern C is determined on the sub-control board 320 side. .

  Further, in the case of “missing”, “missing type” and “missing fluctuation pattern” are determined by random lottery. “Outgoing type” means “normal outage”, “reach outage”, “superreach outage”, etc., and “outlier fluctuation pattern” corresponds to “normal outage”, “reach outage”, “superreach outage”, respectively. In the case of super reach, one of a plurality of variation patterns is drawn. The variation pattern of “out of normal”, “out of reach” or “out of super reach” corresponds to a random number value so that the winning probability is “normal out of service”> “reach out of service”> “super reach out of service” Is predetermined. It should be noted that the fluctuation pattern of “reaching out of reach” and “out of super reach” have a predetermined relationship between the fluctuation pattern and the random number value with a winning probability that tends to be opposite to the winning case.

  As described above, in “super reach”, a plurality of variation patterns (for example, A to C) are prepared. For example, when “winning”, “super reach A”> “super reach B”> Which pattern will be developed with the winning probability of “Super Reach C”, conversely, in the case of “out of”, the winning probability of “Super Reach C”> “Super Reach B”> “Super Reach A” By setting which pattern will be developed, the player expects that if it develops into a super reach production, it will be a “win” if the production is a variation time of “Pattern A”. On the other hand, if the production has a variation time of “Pattern C”, if the possibility of “winning” is small, the expectation is low. In this way, the expectation given to the player is made different by the performance pattern executed based on the variation pattern drawn at the time of super reach. As a result, “Pattern A” has high reliability and “Pattern C” "Is able to give the player a prediction that the reliability is low. In addition, “normal effect” also gives a premium feeling to “normal win” by setting the winning probability in “win” extremely low.

  The random number lottery process in the present embodiment is executed as an arithmetic processing routine as shown in FIG. 6B, and it is determined whether or not the sensor to which the current detection signal is input is that of the start winning prize sensors SE1 and SE2 (S110). ), If “NO”, the process is immediately terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined as “YES”, it is determined whether or not the number N of reserved balls is less than 4 (S120). If N <4 (S120: YES), the number N of reserved balls is incremented (S130). If “NO”, the process is terminated without proceeding to random number lottery.

  When the random number lottery is entered, first, a “win / lack lottery” for obtaining a random number for lottery “win / lack” is executed (S140). In the case of “winning” (S150: YES), a random number for determining the “winning type” is acquired (S160), and the lottery of “variation pattern” corresponding to the “winning type” is executed ( S165). In the case of “missing” (S150: NO), a random number for determining the “missing type” is acquired (S170), and a lottery of “variation pattern” corresponding to the “missing type” is executed (S175). . Then, the random number values generated in S140, S160, and S170 are stored in the RAM (S180). In the case of the present embodiment, by obtaining a “hit type” random number after the “hit / miss” random number is “hit”, the above-described “2R normal”, “2R probability variation”, “15R normal”, “15R Which of “probability change” falls under is specified.

[5 Control processing (pending digestion)]
Next, the pending digestion process will be described. The main control board 310 reads a random number value from the stored ball storage information stored in the RAM by the control system shown in FIG. 7A, compares it with the winning condition, and sends an effect command to the sub control board 320. Executes the pending digestion process.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7 (B), the hold digest process determines whether there is hold storage information in the RAM when the special game is not being executed (S210: NO) (S220). ), When there is pending storage information, one of the stored contents is read (S230), and an effect command command is determined based on the random value 1 and the random value 2 (S240). Then, the effect command command is output to the sub control board 320 (S250), and the on-hold storage information is updated (S260).

[6 Control processing (production control)]
The sub-control board 320 controls the liquid crystal display device LCD, the light emitting device LED, the fixed speaker SP0, the motors MT1 to MT3, according to the production pattern corresponding to the production command from the main control board 310 by the control system shown in FIG. Control signals are output to the solenoids SOL1 and SOL2 and the production speakers SP1 to SP3, and a display production, a light emission production, a sound production, a movable body production, and the like are executed. When an error notification is instructed from the main control board 310, an error notification process is executed.

  The effect control is executed as an arithmetic processing routine as shown in FIG. 8B, and it is determined whether or not a new effect command command is input from the main control board 310 (S310). The content of the effect is specified (S320), the corresponding effect control data is read from the ROM (S330), and the control data is output to the LCD or the like (S340).

  In the effect control, the sub control board 320 specifies the effect contents for the movable body and the effect speaker according to the reliability level determined by the distribution of the variation pattern, and executes the effect. In other words, as described above, in the “super reach” that is the development destination from the reach, if it is developed to “production patterns A1 to An”, there is a high possibility of “winning”, and conversely to “production patterns C1 to Cn”. If the player feels "reliability" that the possibility of "winning" is low when it develops, prepare multiple patterns for the effect pattern by the movable body and speaker that are executed before this development. The sub-control board 320 controls the player to predict the “super-reach” pattern of the future development depending on whether or not the movement is. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 8C, the ROM of the sub control board 320 stores a movable body reliability control pattern table TBL for specifying control contents according to the jackpot reliability. The movable body reliability control pattern table TBL is configured to execute a flashy effect as the reliability of the jackpot increases as reliability 0 <reliability 1 <reliability 2 <reliability 3. In addition, when the super reach of the variation pattern A is instructed from the main control board 310, the effect patterns A1 to An are drawn on the sub control board 320 side. Also in this lottery, the distribution probability is determined in advance. The variation patterns A to C lottered on the main control board 310 side have a distribution probability determined so as to indicate reliability, and the production patterns A1 to An are determined by the sub side distribution lottery. When the distribution probability is determined on the main side so that the reliability is the variation pattern A> the variation pattern B> the variation pattern C, the sub-side is a movable body corresponding to the reliability 5 for the variation pattern A. On the other hand, in the variation pattern C with low reliability, the sub-side determines the distribution probability so that it is difficult to select the movable body and the speaker effect with reliability 5.

  When the reliability is 0, none of the logo, the pendulum, and the rotating body operate, and the production speakers SP1 to SP3 remain OFF. “Winning” from this pattern is extremely rare, and even if it is “Super Reach”, it can only be developed into “Pattern C”. It is a type of production that makes the player feel “sa”.

  In the reliability level 1, any of the production speakers SP1 to SP3 is turned ON. Thereby, one of the first to third effect speakers outputs sound such as a fanfare. At this time, since the solenoids SOL1, SOL2 and the motors MT1 to MT3 are all OFF, the sound of fanfare or the like produced by any of the production speakers SP1 to SP3 is output as a sound with the front blocked. This pattern is also less likely to develop into “Pattern A”, and is a type of moving body effect that makes the player feel “low reliability”, such as “I can't expect much to win”. This makes the player feel that way because the voice is muffled.

  At reliability 2, any one of the production speakers SP1 to SP3 is turned on, and any one of the solenoids SOL1, SOL2, the motor MT2, or the motor MT3 is turned on so that the front thereof is opened. As a result, the fanfare or the like emitted from any one of the production speakers SP1 to SP3 is output as a sound that passes well with the front opened. This pattern is easy to develop to a certain extent to "pattern A", and it is a type of production that makes the player feel like "a little high reliability", such as "it's not a win at all" is there. This makes the player feel that way because the voice is not muffled.

  In reliability 3, three or more control objects are turned ON. For example, the logo movable body accessory 100 is dropped, the shutter 210 is opened, and the first effect speaker SP1 and the second effect speaker SP2 are turned ON. Alternatively, the shutter 210 is opened, the third speaker SP3 is directed forward, and the first effect speaker SP1 and the third effect speaker SP3 are turned ON. In some cases, the pendulum 200 is rotated and the shutter 210 is opened to turn on the second effect speaker SP2. Compared to reliability 2, it will be more flashy. This pattern is an effect that makes the player feel like "Something can be expected for a win" by making the movement a little flashy. Even in this production, the absence of voice makes the player feel that way.

  For reliability 4, six or more controlled objects are turned ON. For example, the logo movable body accessory 100 is dropped, the shutter 210 is opened, the third speaker SP3 is directed forward, and the first to third effect speakers SP1 to SP3 are turned ON. Alternatively, the pendulum 200 is rotated, the shutter 210 is opened, the third speaker SP3 is directed forward, and the second and third effect speakers SP2 and SP3 are turned on. As a result, the production is more flashy than reliability 3. In this pattern, the voice passes well, and the movement of the movable body becomes more flashy, which is an effect that makes the player feel like "you can expect a lot."

  At reliability 5, all control objects are turned on. As a result, the logo movable body accessory 100 is dropped, the pendulum accessory 200 is rotated to the center of the liquid crystal display device LCD, the shutter 210 is opened, the third speaker SP3 is directed forward, and the first All the first to third effect speakers SP1 to SP3 are turned ON. Thereby, the effect by the movable body and the effect speaker is executed in the most flashy form. In this pattern, the voice passes well, and the movable body moves fully, which is an effect that gives the player a great sense of expectation that there is no doubt.

  Which of the control patterns of the movable body and the production speaker corresponding to the reliability is selected is “reliability 5” is easily selected in the case of “winning”, and conversely in the case of “out of”. In order to make it easier to select “Reliability 0”, a setting is made with different distribution probabilities depending on whether it is “winning” or “out of”, so that the player has a certain degree of expectation and the degree of coincidence of the result It feels like a different thing and gives a sense that the reliability is expressed. In addition, in reliability 1 to reliability 4, two or three types of patterns are set instead of one, and the structure can be distributed to either of them, thereby preventing the production from becoming monotonous. It is also possible. In addition, even if the sound output from the production speakers SP1 to SP3 has the same content, the way of hearing is different, and as a result, the effect of reducing the number of sound source data to be prepared in order to avoid monotonous production is also exhibited. In addition, since the audio | voice which makes the feeling corresponding to these reliability is output using the production speakers SP1-SP3, it does not affect fixed speaker SP0 which flows BGM etc.

[7 Operation / Effect / Modification of Example 1]
According to the pachinko machine of the first embodiment described above, the presentation speakers SP1 to SP3 are provided separately from the fixed speaker SP0, and the sub control board 320 is movable based on the production command command output from the main control board 310. In accordance with the reliability control pattern table TBL, drive control of the solenoids SOL1 and SOL2, the motors MT1 to MT3 and the production speakers SP1 to SP3 is executed. Note that normal sound effects such as BGM and music are performed using the fixed speaker SP0.

  By turning on the motor MT1, the position of the second effect speaker SP2 can be changed, and the sound emission position can be changed. Also, by turning on the motor MT3, the direction of the third effect speaker SP3 can be changed, and the direct sound emission direction can be changed. Furthermore, by switching the solenoids SOL1 and SOL2 and the motor MT2 between OFF and ON, the front of the production speakers SP1 and SP2 is switched between the open state and the open state, and the sound is directly transmitted to the front. It is possible to switch between a state and a state in which forward release is inhibited by the logo movable body accessory 100 or the like.

  As illustrated in the table TBL, the effects for operating the effect speakers SP1 to SP3 are more easily heard and the movable object effect is more flashy as the reliability increases. It changes into a thing. As a result, it is possible to execute a speaker effect in which the release position or transmission direction of the sound emitted from the effect speakers SP1 to SP3 is associated with the reliability of the effect on the result of the lottery game. In addition, the level of reliability is more clearly and variably expressed depending on whether or not the speaker is moved depending on the contents of the effect by the movable body and the effect speaker. Nonetheless, without increasing the number of audio source data output from the production speaker, it is realized as many different productions depending on whether it is muttering or passing through, from which position and direction it is heard The effect that it is done is demonstrated. In addition, it is possible to produce an effect with a very high degree of expression of reliability itself without greatly increasing the number of effect patterns.

  In the first embodiment, the example of switching the third effect speaker SP3 backward and forward has been described. For example, a motor having three or more stages that rotates to the left, right, diagonally left forward, diagonally right forward, etc. It is also possible to set driving conditions and associate these with reliability.

  Also, a plurality of rotation angles may be set for the rotation motor MT2 of the pendulum accessory 200, and these may be associated with reliability.

  In addition to turning on the production speakers SP1 to SP3, it is possible to add a configuration in which the volume is increased or the sound source data to be output is switched as the reliability increases.

  In addition, when turning on a plurality of the production speakers SP1 to SP3, a case in which the respective sound source data is matched and a case in which the sound source data is not matched can be provided, and this can be associated with the reliability.

  In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the gimmick itself that performs the drop operation is set as the production speaker SP4, and when the sound is output at the position before the drop and when the sound is output at the position where the drop has occurred, the reliability and The relationship is different. With the flashy production that the sound is output from the center of the game board when the gimmick falls, the player can expect high reliability.

  In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the production speakers SP5 to SP6 are installed as decorations on the upper part of the front frame D, and the production speakers SP5 to SP6 are rotated in association with the reliability. While outputting the sound. Also in this embodiment, by setting the rotation speed, the rotation direction, and the volume of the production speakers SP5 to SP6 in association with the reliability, the higher the reliability, the more attractive the voice that attracts attention. Can be output.

  As mentioned above, although the Example for implementing this invention was described, this invention is not limited to these, The various change in the range which does not deviate from the summary is possible.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 1 (F), an effect that forcibly changes the sound transmission direction by causing a trumpet to appear in front of the effect speaker may be implemented in association with the reliability. Good.

  Further, the production speakers SP1 to SP7 may be speakers configured to output highly directional sound, such as a speaker dedicated to a high sound range or a speaker equipped with a horn. By using a highly directional loudspeaker, the presence or absence of a shield, the position of the moving object, and the sound that leaks out due to the guidance of the voice guiding member, the sound that can be heard directly, the sound that can be heard while moving, etc. Can be expressed accurately.

  The present invention can be used in a pachinko machine.
