In the pachinko machine 10, when the lottery in the main controller 110 is a big hit, after a predetermined time (fluctuation time) has elapsed, the LED 37a of the first symbol display device 37 is turned on so as to become a big hit stop symbol. The stop symbol corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the third symbol display device 81 to indicate the occurrence of the jackpot. Thereafter, the gaming state transitions to a special gaming state (big hit) where the ball is easy to win. In this special gaming state, the special winning opening 65a that is normally closed is opened for a predetermined time (for example, until 30 seconds have elapsed or ten balls have been won).

  The specific winning opening 65a is closed when a predetermined time elapses, and after the closing, the specific winning opening 65a is opened again for a predetermined time. The opening / closing operation of the specific winning opening 65a can be repeated up to 16 times (16 rounds), for example. The state in which the opening / closing operation is performed is a form of a special gaming state advantageous to the player, and the player is given out a larger amount of prize balls than usual in order to give a gaming value (game value). Is done.

  Specifically, the variable winning device 65 includes a horizontally long rectangular opening / closing plate covering the specific winning opening 65a and a large opening opening solenoid (solenoid 209 (FIG. 14)). The special winning opening 65a is normally closed so that the ball cannot win or is difficult to win. In the case of a big hit, the large opening opening solenoid is driven to tilt the opening / closing plate to the lower front side to temporarily form an open state in which the ball is likely to win the specific winning opening 65a. It operates to repeat the state and the state alternately.

  Note that the special gaming state is not limited to the above-described form. When the game area is provided with a large opening that is opened and closed separately from the specific winning opening 65a, and the LED 37a corresponding to the jackpot is turned on in the first symbol display device 37, the specific winning opening 65a is opened for a predetermined time, and the specific winning opening A special gaming state is defined as a game state in which a large opening provided separately from the specific winning port 65a is opened for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times when the ball 65 is opened into the specific winning port 65a.

  Next, the detailed configuration of the variable display device unit 80 will be described with reference to FIGS. Hereinafter, the variable display device unit 80 will be described as the first embodiment. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the variable display device unit 80 in the first embodiment, and FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the variable display device unit 80. 4 and 5 show a state in which the center frame 83 is removed for easy understanding.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the variable display device unit 80 in the first embodiment is disposed on the front side of the above-described third symbol display device 81 and accessory device 82 and the third symbol display device 81. The reflection device 300 and the door device 400 disposed on the front side of the reflection device 300 are mainly provided.

  First, the reflection device 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a front view of the reflection device 300. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 6 indicate the up-down direction, the left-right direction, and the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  As illustrated in FIG. 6, the reflection device 300 includes a pair of reflection units 310 and 320 and a reflection unit that moves the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 toward or away from each other (arrow LR direction). The moving apparatus 330 is provided.

  Here, with reference to FIG.7 and FIG.8, the detailed structure of the reflection units 310 and 320 is demonstrated. Since the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 are configured in the same manner, one of the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 will be described as an example here. FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the reflection unit 310. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the light guide member 315 taken along line VIII-VIII in FIG. 7 and 8 indicate the up-down direction, left-right direction, and front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the reflection unit 310 includes a first reflection member 311, a second reflection member 312 that is disposed to face the first reflection member 311 with the inner surface facing each other, and the first reflection member 311. A light-emitting diode substrate 314 on which a light-emitting diode 313 that emits light toward a space between opposing surfaces of the reflective member 311 and the second reflective member 312 is mounted, and a light-guiding member that is disposed to face the mounting surface of the light-emitting diode substrate 314 315 and a frame 316 that supports each of the reflecting members 311 and 312, the light emitting diode substrate 314, and the light guide member 315.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the reflecting unit 310 supports an axial shaft 317 having pinion gears 317 a and 317 b at the upper end and the lower end, respectively, so as to be rotatable around the axis.

  The first reflecting member 311 is formed by a so-called half mirror having a metal thin film formed on the surface by vapor deposition, and is incident from the inner surface side (arrow F direction side) of the first reflecting member 311. At least part of the light can be reflected, and at least part of the light incident from the display surface side (arrow B direction side) of the third symbol display device 81 on the outer surface side of the first reflecting member 311 is transmitted. It is configured to be possible. That is, when the first reflecting member 311 faces the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 11A), the player can visually recognize the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. It is configured.

  Similar to the first reflecting member 311, the second reflecting member 312 is formed by a flat reflector having a metal thin film formed on the surface by vapor deposition, a so-called half mirror, and the inner surface side of the second reflecting member 312 ( A part of the light incident from the arrow B direction side can be reflected, and a part of the light incident from the inner surface side (arrow B direction side) of the second reflecting member 312 can be transmitted. . That is, the second reflecting member 312 is a light reflected by the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 and transmitted through the second reflecting member 312 (light emitted from the light emitting diode 313 displayed on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311). It is configured to be visible.

  The first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 are in a state where the second reflecting member 312 is parallel to the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 and the first reflecting member 311 is inclined with respect to the second reflecting member 312. In this state, it is supported by the frame 316 so that the distance between the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 decreases as the distance from the light emitting diode 313 increases (see FIG. 9).

  Thus, by arranging the second reflecting member 312 in parallel with the display surface of the third symbol display device 81, the player does not distort the third symbol displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. Can be visually recognized.

  The first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 are supported by the frame 316 with their end portions on the side away from the light emitting diode 313 (in the direction of arrow R) spaced apart from each other, and the light emitting diode 313 is arranged. An opening O is provided which is opened at an end portion on the opposite side (arrow R direction) to the side where the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 are communicated to the outside (FIG. 9). reference).

  As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of (eight in the present embodiment) light emitting diodes 313 including red light emitting diodes 313 a and blue light emitting diodes 313 b are mounted on the light emitting diode substrate 314, and the plurality of light emitting diodes 313 are formed. Lined in a straight line along the edges of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 (in the direction of the arrow UD) with a predetermined interval therebetween.

  The light guide member 315 is for emitting the light incident from the light emitting diode 313 toward the surface between the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312, and is a material having a high light transmittance (this book In the embodiment, it is made of acrylic resin) and is configured to transmit light from the light emitting diode 313.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the right side surface (the surface on the arrow R direction side) of the light guide member 315, that is, the light of the light emitting diode 313 is directed between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312. A plurality of (eight in the present embodiment) emission portions 315a are recessed on the emission side surface corresponding to the number of light emitting diodes 313.

  The emission part 315a is positioned between the pair of inclined surfaces 315a1 and 315a1 and the pair of inclined surfaces 315a1 and 315a1 and the left side of the light guide member 315, with the opposing interval widening in the light emission direction (arrow R direction). A light emitting diode 313 (a red light emitting diode 313a and a red light emitting diode 313a) on a virtual surface S perpendicular to the flat surface 315a2 of the emitting portion 315a. A blue light emitting diode 313b) is located.

  According to the emitting portion 315a, when the light emitted from the light emitting diode 313 is incident on the light guide member 315, the light reaching the flat surface 315a2 is not reflected, and the first reflecting member 311 and the first reflecting member 311 are connected from the flat surface 315a2. While the light is emitted toward the surface facing the two reflecting members 312, the light reaching the inclined surface 315 a 1 is reflected. Therefore, the light passing through the flat surface 315a2 and the light reflected by the inclined surface 315a1 are divided to direct the beam-like light L (light beam) between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312. Can be emitted.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the light guide member 315 has a left side surface (a surface on the arrow L direction side), that is, a surface on which light is incident from the light emitting diodes 313, and a plurality of (in this case) intermediate positions between adjacent light emitting diodes 313. In the embodiment, seven condensing portions 315b are recessed.

  The condensing unit 315b collects the light incident from the light emitting diode 313 and emits the light toward the space between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312. The light emitting direction It is formed as a groove having a V-shaped cross section from a pair of inclined surfaces 315b1 and 315b1 whose facing interval narrows in the direction of arrow R, and the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 rather than the emitting portion 315a. It is located on the side (arrow R direction side), that is, on the side away from the light emitting diode 313.

  According to this condensing part 315b, the light which arrived at the condensing part 315b is converged to one direction among the light which injected into the light guide member 315, and the beam-like light L (light beam) is made into the 1st reflection member. It can radiate | emit toward between the opposing surfaces of 311 and the 2nd reflection member 312. FIG. In addition, the light emitted from one light emitting diode 313 can be emitted not only from the emitting part 315 a but also from the light collecting part 315 b toward the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312. Therefore, the same decoration effect as the case where the plurality of light emitting diodes 313 emit light can be obtained by one light emitting diode 313. Thereby, the number of the light emitting diodes 313 can be suppressed, and the product cost of the pachinko machine 10 as a whole can be reduced accordingly.

  In addition, since the light condensing unit 315b is formed as a groove having a V-shaped cross section from a pair of inclined surfaces 315b1 and 315b1 whose facing interval narrows in the light emission direction, one side of the light condensing unit 315b (for example, an arrow) The light emitted from the light emitting diode 313 located on the U direction side and the light emitted from the light emitting diode 313 located on the other side (for example, the arrow D direction side) are merged and emitted from the light collecting unit 315b. The light L can be made stronger.

  That is, one inclined surface 315b1 of the pair of inclined surfaces 315b1 and 315b1 condenses the light emitted from the light emitting diode 313 located on one side (for example, the arrow U direction side) of the condensing portion 315b, and the other The inclined surface 315b1 condenses the light emitted from the light emitting diode 313 located on the other side (for example, the arrow D direction side) of the light condensing part 315b, so that the one inclined surface 315b1 and the other inclined surface 315b1 , The light condensed by one inclined surface 315b1 and the light condensed by the other inclined surface 315b1 can be made into one light, and as a result, the light L is changed into a stronger light. can do.

  Moreover, since the condensing part 315b is located in the side spaced apart from the light emitting diode 313 rather than the output part 315a, the light radiate | emitted from the light emitting diode 313 can be efficiently incident on the condensing part 315b.

  That is, when the condensing part 315b is located in parallel with the emitting part 315a, it is necessary to increase the light emitting angle of the light emitting diode 313 in order to make the light from the light emitting diode 313 enter the condensing part 315b. Strong light cannot be incident on the condensing part 315b. On the other hand, by positioning the condensing part 315b on the side farther from the light emitting diode 313 than the emitting part 315a, the light emitting angle of the light emitting diode 313 is reduced, and stronger light is incident on the condensing part 315b. Can be made. As a result, even if the light intensity of the light emitting diode 313 is the same, stronger light can be efficiently incident on the light condensing unit 315b.

  Furthermore, the distance from the inclined surface 315a1 of the emitting part 315a to the inclined surface 315b1 of the condensing part 315b can be shortened by positioning the condensing part 315b on the side farther from the light emitting diode 313 than the emitting part 315a. . As a result, among the light emitted from the light emitting diode 313 toward the emission part 315a, the light reflected by the inclined surface 315a1 of the emission part 315a is transmitted through the inside of the light guide member 315 and the inclined surface of the light collecting part 315b. Attenuation (decrease in luminance) before reaching 315b1 can be suppressed. Therefore, stronger light can be emitted toward the space between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the frame 316 has a support surface 316a for supporting the light emitting diode substrate 314, and a plurality (three in this embodiment) of projections 316a1 are provided on the support surface 316a. Has been. The protrusion 316a1 is for forming a gap between the support surface 316a and the light emitting diode substrate 314, and the protrusion 316a1 forms a gap between the support surface 316a and the light emitting diode substrate 314. The heat of the light emitting diode substrate 314 can be radiated from the gap.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the frame 316 includes support portions 316 b and 316 c that support the first reflection member 311 and the second reflection member 312. The support portions 316 b and 316 c include guides 316 b 1 and 316 b 1. 316c1 is provided in a protruding manner. The guides 316b1 and 316c1 are for positioning the second reflecting member 312, and the second reflecting member 312 is positioned by the guides 316b1 and 316c1 so that the second reflecting member 312 is relative to the first reflecting member 311. The tilt state can be easily set.

  Next, the operation of the reflection unit 310 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram schematically showing a cross section of the reflection unit 310 taken along line IX-IX in FIG. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 9 indicate the up-down direction, left-right direction, and front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  According to the reflection unit 310 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 9, the light L emitted toward the space between the opposing surfaces of the first reflection member 311 and the second reflection member 312 is the first reflection member. By repeating reflection between the opposing surfaces of 311 and the second reflecting member 312, the player can visually recognize a mirror image of the light of the light emitting diode 313 projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, when the point Q1 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, the straight line connecting the point P and the point Q1 and the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 Assuming that the angle formed by is θ1, the player can visually recognize the light L incident on the point Q1 at the same angle as the angle θ1. That is, in the case of FIG. 9, the player gives a mirror image of the light L (light of the light emitting diode 313 directly projected on the inner surface of the first reflective member 311) that has directly reached the first reflective member 311 (hereinafter referred to as “first mirror image”). I1) can be visually recognized.

  When the point Q2 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, if the angle formed by the straight line connecting the point P and the point Q2 and the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is θ2, After being incident on the inner surface of the reflecting member 312 at an angle α and reflected at the same angle α, the player can visually recognize the light L incident on the point Q2 at the same angle as the angle θ2. That is, in the case of FIG. 9, the player reflects the light L that has reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 after being reflected on the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 (the light emitting diode 313 reflected on the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312). Can be visually recognized as a mirror image (hereinafter referred to as a “second mirror image”) I2 of the light-emitting diode 313 formed by the first light reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311.

  On the other hand, when the range between the point Q1 and the point Q2 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is visually recognized from the viewpoint P of the player, the light emitting diode 313 is on the reflection path of the mirror image displayed in the range. Since it is not located, the mirror image of the light of the light emitting diode 313 is not visually recognized by the player.

  As described above, similarly to the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2, the player reflects on the inner surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 and then reflects on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311. Reached light L (light of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the light of the light emitting diode 313 repeatedly reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 and the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311) Mirror images (hereinafter referred to as “third to nth mirror images”) I3 to In can be visually recognized.

  In this case, the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In are located farther from the light emitting diode 313 as the mirror image having a larger number of reflections (that is, the n-th mirror image In-1 than the n-1 mirror image In-1). In addition, the length of the reflection path of each of the mirror images I1 to In (the accumulated distance of the optical path from the light emitting diode 313 to the inner surface of the first reflection member 311) varies depending on the number of reflections (reflection The more mirror images, the longer the reflection path).

  Accordingly, the player can make the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In visible to the back side (arrow B direction side) from the actual position (the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311). In this case, a mirror image having a large number of reflections and a long reflection path length (that is, a light emitting diode) than a mirror image having a small number of reflections and a short reflection path length (that is, a mirror image at a position close to the light emitting diode 313). The degree of visual recognition on the back side (arrow B direction side) can be increased as the distance from the mirror 313 increases. Therefore, the visual interest that a player feels can be enhanced by making the decoration effect by the light emitting diode 313 into a three-dimensional thing with perspective.

  In addition, since the facing distance between the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 decreases as the distance from the light emitting diode 313 increases, the length of the reflecting path of the first to nth mirror images I1 to In is increased. The rate of increase in height can be reduced with an increase in the number of reflections. Therefore, the degree of reflection on the back side (arrow B direction side) can be reduced as the mirror image with a large number of reflections (that is, the mirror image at a position away from the light emitting diode 313), and as a result, the first to nth mirror images. A player can visually recognize a three-dimensional decoration in which I1 to In are arranged in an arc shape.

  Here, even when the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 are arranged in parallel and the facing distance between the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 is constant, the number of reflections is large and the reflecting path is large. The longer the mirror image, the greater the degree of visual recognition on the back side (arrow B direction side), and the decorative effect by the light emitting diode 313 can be made stereoscopic with a sense of perspective. However, when the facing distance between the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 is constant, the increasing rate of the length of the reflection path of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In is the number of reflections. It becomes constant regardless of the increase. Therefore, in this case, the first to nth mirror images I1 to In are monotonous decorations arranged in a straight line. On the other hand, the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In are formed in an arc shape by reducing the facing distance between the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 as the distance from the light emitting diode 313 increases. Since it can be set as the arranged three-dimensional decoration, the visual interest that a player feels can be increased accordingly.

  In addition, since a plurality of (eight in the present embodiment) light emitting diodes 313 are provided, a group of first to n-th mirror images I1 to In formed by light emitted from one light emitting diode 313 is played. The plurality of light emitting diodes 313 are arranged in a straight line along the edges of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 with a predetermined interval therebetween. , A group of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In can be widely developed, and a group of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In can be uniformly developed to provide a regular arrangement with a sense of unity. can do.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the detailed configuration of the reflection unit moving device 330 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the reflection unit moving device 330 includes an upper frame 331 and a lower frame 332 that support the reflection units 310 and 320, and a reflection unit movement motor that applies a driving force for movement to the reflection units 310 and 320. 333.

The upper ends of the reflection units 310 and 320 are engaged with each other. Further, a fixed rack 334 is disposed on the front surface of the upper frame 331 along the width direction thereof, and the pinion gear 317a of the shaft 317 is engaged with the fixed rack 334.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a pair of rails 332 a and 332 a project from the front surface of the lower frame 332 over the entire length in the width direction (arrow LR direction), and project in a pair of rails 332 a and 332 a. The lower end of the reflection unit 310 is engaged with one rail 332a via a movable rack 335, and the lower end of the reflection unit 320 is engaged with the other rail 332a via a movable rack 336. . The movable racks 335, 336 are for converting the rotational movement of the gear 333a attached to the rotor of the reflection unit moving motor 333 into linear movement, and the gears 333a mesh with the movable racks 335, 336. ing. A fixed rack 337 is disposed on the front surface of the lower frame 332 along the width direction thereof, and the pinion gear 317b of the shaft 317 is engaged with the fixed rack 337.

  According to the reflection unit moving device 330 configured as described above, when the reflection unit moving motor 333 is driven, the driving force of the reflection unit moving motor 333 is transmitted to the moving racks 335 and 336 via the gear 333a. . In this case, the rotational movement of the gear 333a is converted into the linear movement of the moving racks 335 and 336, and the moving racks 335 and 336 move along the pair of rails 332a and 332a. As a result, with the movement of the movable racks 335 and 336, the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 move in the direction approaching or separating from each other (arrow LR direction). When the reflection units 310 and 320 move, the pinion gear 317 b of the shaft 317 rolls on the fixed rack 337 while meshing with the fixed rack 337. As a result, the shaft 317 rotates, and the pinion gear 317a of the shaft 317 rolls on the fixed rack 334 while meshing with the fixed rack 334 as the shaft 317 rotates.

  Thus, according to the reflection unit moving device 330, the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 can be moved at a time by one reflection unit moving motor 333, thereby simplifying the structure and reducing the size and product. Cost can be suppressed. In addition, since the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 can be moved at a time by one reflection unit moving motor 333, the movement of the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 can be synchronized with high accuracy.

  Here, in the configuration in which the driving force of the reflection unit moving motor 333 is transmitted only to the lower ends of the reflection units 310 and 320, the upper and lower ends of the reflection units 310 and 320 are synchronized when the reflection units 310 and 320 move. Therefore, the movement of the reflection units 310 and 320 becomes unstable.

  On the other hand, according to the reflection unit moving device 330 in the present embodiment, when the reflection units 310 and 320 move, the upper ends of the reflection units 310 and 320 are driven by the pinion gears 317a and 317b of the shaft 317 and the fixed racks 334 and 337. And the lower end can be synchronized, so that the reflection units 310 and 320 can be moved smoothly.

  As described above, according to the reflecting device 300, the reflecting units 310 and 320 are moved by the reflecting unit moving device 330, whereby the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In formed by the reflecting units 310 and 320 are obtained. The position can be changed, and a group of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In can be moved to make the decoration effect by the light emitting diode 313 dynamic and dynamic. Visual interest can be enhanced.

  Next, the door device 400 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a front view of the door device 400. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 10 indicate the up-down direction, the left-right direction, and the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the door device 400 is a door movement that moves the pair of door members 410 and 420 and the pair of door members 410 and 420 toward each other or away from each other (arrow LR direction). And a device 430.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the outer end shape (the shape of both edges on the arrow LR direction side) of the door members 410 and 420 is configured to be non-linear (uneven shape in the present embodiment). In addition, a plurality of light emitting diodes (not shown) as light emitting means are built in the door members 410 and 420, and various effects according to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 are performed by the light of the light emitting diodes. It is configured to be able to do. The door members 410 and 420 support shaft shafts 417 having pinion gears 417a and 417b at the upper and lower ends, respectively, so as to be rotatable around the axis.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the door moving device 430 includes an upper frame 431 and a lower frame 432 that support the door members 410 and 420, and a door moving motor 433 that applies a driving force to the door members 410 and 420 for movement. It is configured with. As shown in FIG. 10, on the front surface of the upper frame 431, a pair of rails 431a and 431a project in a hook shape over the entire length in the width direction (arrow LR direction), and the pair of rails 431a and 431a. The upper ends of the door members 410 and 420 are engaged with each other. A fixed rack 434 is disposed on the front surface of the upper frame 431 along the width direction thereof, and the pinion gear 417a of the shaft 417 is engaged with the fixed rack 434.

  As shown in FIG. 10, a pair of rails 432 a and 432 a project from the front surface of the lower frame 432 over the entire length in the width direction (arrow L-R direction) and project in a hook shape, and the pair of rails 432 a and 432 a The lower end of the door member 410 is engaged with one of the rails 432a via the movable rack 435, and the lower end of the door member 420 is engaged with the other rail 432a via the movable rack 436. Yes. The movable racks 435 and 436 are for converting the rotational motion of the gear 433a attached to the rotor of the door moving motor 433 into linear motion. The movable racks 435 and 436 are engaged with the gear 433a. Yes. A fixed rack 437 is disposed on the front surface of the lower frame 432 along the width direction, and the pinion gear 417b of the shaft 417 is engaged with the fixed rack 437.

  According to the door moving device 430 configured as described above, when the door moving motor 433 is driven, the driving force of the door moving motor 433 is transmitted to the moving racks 435 and 436 through the pinion 433a. In this case, the rotational movement of the pinion 433a is converted into the linear movement of the moving racks 435 and 436, and the moving racks 435 and 436 move along the pair of rails 432a and 432a. As a result, with the movement of the movable racks 435 and 436, the pair of door members 410 and 420 move in a direction toward or away from each other (in the direction of the arrow LR). When the door members 410 and 420 are moved, the pinion gear 417b of the shaft 417 rolls on the fixed rack 437 while meshing with the fixed rack 437. As a result, the shaft 417 rotates, and the pinion gear 417a of the shaft 417 rolls on the fixed rack 434 while meshing with the fixed rack 434 as the shaft 417 rotates.

  As described above, according to the door moving device 430, the pair of door members 410 and 420 can be moved at a time by one door moving motor 433. Therefore, the structure is simplified, the size is reduced, and the product cost is reduced. Can be suppressed. In addition, since the pair of door members 410 and 420 can be moved at a time by one door movement motor 433, the movement of the pair of door members 410 and 420 can be synchronized with high accuracy.

  Here, in the configuration in which the driving force of the door movement motor 433 is transmitted only to the lower ends of the door members 410 and 420, the upper and lower ends of the door members 410 and 420 are not synchronized when the door members 410 and 420 move. The opening / closing operation of the door members 410 and 420 becomes unstable.

  On the other hand, according to the door moving device 430 in the present embodiment, when the door members 410 and 420 move, the upper ends of the door members 410 and 420 are moved by the pinion gears 417a and 417b of the shaft 417 and the fixed racks 434 and 437. Since the lower end can be synchronized, the door members 410 and 420 can be smoothly opened and closed.

  Returning to FIG. 4 and FIG. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, an upper cover 84 and a lower cover 85 that cover the front surfaces of the upper frame 431 and the lower frame 432 are disposed on the front side of the door device 400. The accessory device 82 is disposed. In addition, a plurality of light emitting diodes (not shown) as light emitting means are built in the lower cover 85, and various effects according to the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 are performed by the light of the light emitting diodes. It is configured to be able to.

  Next, with reference to FIG.11 and FIG.12, the relationship between the reflective apparatus 300, the door apparatus 400, and the 3rd symbol display apparatus 81 is demonstrated. FIG. 11 is a front view of the variable display device unit 80. However, FIG. 11 shows a state in which the center frame 83 is removed for easy understanding. FIG. 12 is a schematic view schematically showing cross sections of the reflection units 310 and 320 of the reflection device 300 and the third symbol display device 81 taken along line XII-XII in FIG. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIGS. 11 and 12 indicate the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  In the reflection device 300, the movement of the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 by the reflection unit moving device 330 is a first unit in which the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 abut end portions as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 11 (b), the pair of reflecting units 310 and 320 move away from the first unit position in a direction away from each other, and the pair of reflecting units 310 and 320 are separated from each other by a predetermined interval. Between.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, when the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 are in the first unit position, the first reflection member 311 is opposed to the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 and the third symbol display is performed. A central region on the display surface of the device 81 is covered with the first reflecting member 311. Therefore, the 3rd symbol displayed on the display surface of the 3rd symbol display device 81 and the mirror image (first to nth mirror images I1 to In) of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the reflection units 310 and 320 are overlapped. The player can visually recognize the state. Thereby, for example, the third symbol displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is decorated with a mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 (the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is covered with the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313). The mirror image on the front side (arrow F direction side) and the back side (arrow B direction side) of the surface, and the third symbol displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 and the light emitting diode 313. Since it is possible to interlock the state of the mirror image (display position, color, brightness, movement, timing, etc.), the player can watch the third symbol displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. Can do.

  Further, the reflection unit 310, 320 is formed by the third symbol displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 and the reflection unit 310, 320 by moving the reflection unit 310, 320 from the first unit position to the second unit position. While superimposing the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313, the player can visually recognize the state in which the positional relationship is changed as the reflection units 310 and 320 move. Thereby, for example, the positional relationship between the third symbol displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 and the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the reflection units 310 and 20 (the display surface of the third symbol display device 81). Depending on the contents of the third symbol, the region where the light-emitting diode 313 is covered with the mirror image, or the group of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In crossing the display surface of the third symbol display device 81). Therefore, it is possible to make the player gaze at the third symbol displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81.

  Further, when the reflecting units 310 and 320 are moved from the first unit position to the second unit position, the display surface of the third symbol display device 82 can be gradually exposed from between the pair of reflecting units 310 and 320. Since this is possible, it is possible to make the player effectively watch the exposed area.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11A, the pair of reflecting units 310 and 320 has an overall width dimension (dimension in the direction of the arrow LR) in the state of the first unit position as the width of the third symbol display device 81. When the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 are in the first unit position, the central region on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is the first reflection. While being covered by the member 311, both end regions on the display surface are exposed. Therefore, in the central region, the player can visually recognize the third symbol displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 and the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the reflection units 310 and 320 in an overlapping manner. On the other hand, in both end regions, the display of the third symbol can be made visible to the player in a state where it is not obstructed by the reflection units 310 and 320 and the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the reflection units 310 and 320.

  As described above, when the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 are in the first unit position, the reflection units 310 and 320 are passed through (in a state where they overlap with the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the reflection units 310 and 320). While the player can visually recognize the central area on the display surface of the 3rd symbol display device 81, the display surface of the 3rd symbol display device 81 can be directly recognized by the player in both end regions on the display surface. The visibility can be changed. As a result, the player can effectively watch the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 due to the change in visibility.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, when the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 are in the second unit position, the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 move out of the display area on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. Thus, the entire display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is exposed. Therefore, the display of the 3rd symbol can be made to be visually recognized by the player in a state where it is not obstructed by the reflection unit 310, 320 and the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the reflection unit 310, 320.

  As described above, when the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 are in the first unit position, the reflection units 310 and 320 are passed through (in a state where they overlap with the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the reflection units 310 and 320). While allowing the player to visually recognize the display surface of the 3rd symbol display device 81, when the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 are in the second unit position, allowing the player to visually recognize the display surface of the 3rd symbol display device 81 directly. Thus, the visibility of the display surface can be changed. As a result, the player can effectively watch the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 due to the change in visibility.

  When the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 is in the second unit position, the light emitted from the light emitting diode 313 is exposed to the outside from the opening O to decorate the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. Can do.

  In the door device 400, the movement of the pair of door members 410, 420 by the door moving device 430 is performed by the first door position shown in FIG. 11A and the pair of door members 410, 410 shown in FIG. 420 is moved from the first door position in a direction away from the first door position, and the pair of door members 410 and 420 are separated from the second door position at a predetermined interval.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the reflection units 310 and 320 are arranged on the movement locus of the pair of door members 410 and 420, and the movement locus of the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 and the movement of the pair of door members 410 and 420 are included. The trajectory is configured to overlap at least partially. Therefore, the positional relationship between the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the reflection units 310 and 320 and the pair of door members 410 and 420 is changed by moving the door members 410 and 420 by the door moving device 430. Can do. As a result, the player can visually recognize the state in which these positional relationships are changed as the pair of door members 410 and 420 move. Thereby, the decoration effect by the light emitting diode 313 can be made into a dynamic thing with a motion, and the visual interest which a player feels can be heightened. Further, in this case, the movement locus of the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 and the movement locus of the pair of door members 410 and 420 overlap at least partially, so that a mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the reflection units 310 and 320 is obtained. And a pair of door members 410 and 420 can be visually recognized by the player. Thereby, a change can be given to the decoration effect by the light emitting diode 313, and the visual interest which a player feels can be heightened.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the pair of door members 410 and 420 have a width dimension (dimension in the direction of arrow LR) larger than a width dimension (dimension in the direction of arrow LR) of the reflection units 310 and 320. It is small. Therefore, when the pair of door members 410 and 420 are moved in directions close to each other, the reflection units 310 and 320 can be exposed on both sides of the pair of door members 410 and 420. Thus, the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the reflection units 310 and 320 can be gradually made visible to the player from both sides of the pair of door members 410 and 420, and as a result, the decoration effect by the light emitting diode 313 is displayed on the door. As a dynamic thing linked to the movement of the members 410 and 420, the visual interest felt by the player can be enhanced.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, when the pair of door members 410 and 420 are in the first door position, the door members 410 and 420 face the second reflecting member 312 of the reflecting units 310 and 320, and the second A part of the reflecting member 312 is covered with the door members 410 and 420. Therefore, the player can visually recognize the state in which the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the reflection units 310 and 320 and the door members 410 and 420 are overlapped. That is, at least a part of the mirror image of the light-emitting diode 313 can be shielded by the pair of door members 410 and 420 so that the player cannot visually recognize it.

  Further, by moving the door members 410 and 420 from the first door position to the second door position (or in the opposite direction), a pair of door members in a mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by the reflection units 310 and 320. The player can visually recognize the state in which the area shielded by 410 and 420 is changed with the movement of the pair of door members 410 and 420. Thereby, the decoration effect by the light emitting diode 313 can be made into a dynamic thing with a motion, and the visual interest which a player feels can be heightened.

  In this case, as described above, since the outer end shape of the door members 410 and 420 is configured to be non-linear (in the present embodiment, uneven), the door members 410 and 420 are opposed to the light emitting diode 313. The light from the light emitting diodes 313 arranged in a straight line along the edge portions of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 is not exposed at a time, but the door members 410 and 420 are moved. The light emitting diodes 313 can be gradually exposed in accordance with the non-linear outer end shape. As a result, when high-luminance light directly emitted from the light-emitting diode 313 is used for decoration, the appearance of light from the light-emitting diode 313 is changed to enhance the visual interest felt by the player. Can do.

  11A, when the pair of door members 410 and 420 are in the first door position, the door members 410 and 420 are opposed to the light emitting diode 313, and the light emitting diode 313 is the door member 410, Covered by 420. Therefore, the light of the light emitting diode 313 can be shielded so that the player cannot see it. In other words, the pair of door members 410 and 420 can be used not only for the function of enhancing the decorative effect but also for the function of shielding the light of the light emitting diode 313. Thereby, it is not necessary to separately provide a member for shielding the light of the light emitting diode 313, and the number of parts can be reduced. Therefore, the product cost of the pachinko machine 10 as a whole can be reduced accordingly. .

  Further, in this way, if the pair of door members 410 and 420 has a function of also blocking the light of the light emitting diode 313, by retracting the door members 410 and 420 from the position facing the light emitting diode 313, By exposing the light emitting diode 313, the player can directly view the light of the light emitting diode 313. As a result, high brightness light directly emitted from the light emitting diode 313 can be used for decoration, so that the visual interest felt by the player can be enhanced.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, when the pair of door members 410 and 420 are in the second door position, the pair of door members 410 and 420 move out of the display area on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. Thus, the entire display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is exposed. Therefore, it is possible to make the player visually recognize the display door members 410 and 420 of the third symbol without being obstructed.

  In this way, the player can visually recognize the state in which the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is decorated by the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 and the pair of door members 410 and 420, while the pair of door members When 410 and 420 are in the second door position, the player can visually recognize a state in which the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is decorated only by the pair of reflection units 310 and 320. Thereby, the visibility of the display surface of the 3rd symbol display apparatus 81 can be changed.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 are symmetrically disposed with the side on which the light emitting diode 313 is disposed and the opposite side facing each other, and the pair of reflection units 310 and 320. In the state of the first position, the ends opposite to the side where the light emitting diode 313 is disposed are brought into contact with each other to close the opening O. Therefore, as the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by each of the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 moves toward the center (side where the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 abut) from both the light emitting diodes 313, the back side (the arrow B direction side) ) Can be viewed by the player as an integrated mirror image.

  In addition, when the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 is in the first position, the opening O is blocked, so that light emitted from the light emitting diode 313 can be prevented from leaking out from the opening O. . Accordingly, it is not necessary to interrupt the light emission (light emission) of the light emitting diode 313 in order to avoid leakage of light from the opening O to the outside, so that leakage of light from the opening O to the outside is interrupted. However, the decoration effect by the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 can be continued.

  Here, the opening O is located in the traveling direction of the light from the emission part 315a and the light condensing part 315b in the light guide member 315. Therefore, the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 are in the first unit position, and the ends on the opposite side to the side where the light emitting diode 313 is disposed are in contact with each other to close the opening O. Then, the light output by the light emitting diode 313 arranged in one reflection unit 310 or 320 is easily transmitted to the inner surface side of the other reflection unit 320 or 310. Thereby, even when the light intensity of the light emitting diode 313 is different for each of the reflection units 310 and 320 due to some trouble, the brightness on the inner surface side of each of the reflection units 310 and 320 can be made to be evenly close. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of apparent imbalance in a group of mirror images formed by both reflection units 310 and 320.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 12, the reflection units 310 and 320 of the reflection device 300 have an opposing distance between the inner surface of the first reflection member 311 (the surface on the arrow F side) and the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. The length of the reflection path of the first mirror image I1, that is, longer than the shortest cumulative distance of the optical path from the light emitting diode 313 to the inner surface of the first reflection member 311, and the reflection of the nth mirror image In It is configured to be shorter than the length of the path, that is, the longest distance of the cumulative distance of the optical path. Therefore, among the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In formed by the reflection units 310 and 320, the length of the reflection path is shorter than the facing interval (in this embodiment, the first and second mirror images). I1 and I2) are visually recognized on the near side (arrow F direction side) of the display surface of the third symbol display device 81, while the length of the reflection path is longer than the facing interval (in this embodiment, the third image To n-th mirror image I3 to In) can be visually recognized on the back side (arrow B direction side) from the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. That is, the player can visually recognize a three-dimensional decoration in which a group of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In crosses the display surface of the third symbol display device 81.

  Here, as described above, by arranging the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 in an inclined state, the first to nth mirror images I1 to In are arranged in an arc shape. Compared to the case where the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 are arranged in parallel, and the first to nth mirror images I1 to In are arranged linearly, the first to nth mirror images I1 to In The position where the group crosses the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 can be brought close to the outer edge of the third symbol display device 81. Therefore, the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 can be covered over a wide range by the group of the first to nth mirror images I1 to In.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the reflection units 310 and 320 of the reflection device 300 are arranged on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 from the light emitting diode 313 among the light reaching the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 from the light emitting diode 313. The light whose cumulative distance of the optical path to reach is shorter than the facing interval is generated by the first reflecting member 311 outside the variable display region R where the third symbol is variably displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. Light that reaches the inner surface and whose accumulated optical path distance is longer than the facing interval is configured to reach the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 within the variable display region R. Therefore, the player can visually recognize the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In at different positions inside and outside the variable display region R. That is, outside the variable display region R, the mirror images (in the present embodiment, the first to third mirror images I1 to I3) are visually recognized on the front side (arrow F direction side) from the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. While the display surface can be covered with a mirror image, the mirror image (in the present embodiment, the fourth to nth mirror images I4 to In) in the variable display region R is located behind the variable display region R (in the direction of arrow B). Side), the variable display area R can be emphasized and the player can watch it.

  In the present embodiment, the fourth mirror image I4 is configured to be visually recognized at the boundary between the outside of the variable display region R and the inside of the region. Thereby, the boundary between the outside of the variable display region R and the inside of the region can be decorated with the fourth mirror image I4, and the boundary between the outside of the variable display region R and the inside of the region can be emphasized.

  Next, an effect of the pachinko machine 10 performed by the reflection device 300, the door device 400, and the third symbol display device 81 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram schematically showing the front of the variable display device unit 80. However, in FIG. 13, only the reflection units 310 and 320, the door members 410 and 420, and the third symbol display device 81 are illustrated for easy understanding.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, according to the timing at which the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 shifts to a special gaming state (for example, a high probability state or a state where it is difficult to determine the game), a pair of reflective units 310, 320 moves to the first unit position, and the pair of door members 410 and 420 move to the first door position. Thereby, the range of the display surface of the 3rd symbol display apparatus 81 which a player can visually recognize is limited by the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 and the pair of door members 410 and 420, and the display surface of the 3rd symbol display apparatus 81 is displayed. Scroll horizontally to make the player visually recognize only the 3rd symbol displayed in the middle row of the 3rd symbols of left, middle and right (the number of active lines is less than the normal gaming state) It is possible to switch to a display mode in which one third symbol is stopped and displayed for each symbol row so as to be one line). In this case, the background image of the variable display area is changed to a state where the brightness (brightness) is lower than that in the normal gaming state (changed to a dark-tone background image), while each of the third symbols Are controlled to display in the same manner as in the normal gaming state or in a manner with increased brightness. As a result, the third symbol displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 (the mode stopped and displayed on the effective line or the variation mode) is formed by the reflection units 310 and 320 and the reflection units 310 and 320. It is possible to decorate with a mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 and make the player gaze.

  Then, at the time of reach production in the special game state, first, as shown in FIG. 13B, the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 move in a direction away from each other. As a result, the third symbol displayed in the middle row of the three symbols of the left, middle, and right that are displayed in a variable manner by scrolling horizontally on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is converted into the reflection unit 310, The player can directly view the image without being obstructed by the mirror image of the light emitting diode 313 formed by 320 and its reflection units 310 and 320.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13C, the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 further move in a direction away from each other, and at the same time, the pair of door members 410 and 420 move in a direction away from each other. As a result, the range of the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 that can be visually recognized by the player is expanded, and the left, middle, and right three displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 by scrolling horizontally are displayed. A player can visually recognize a part of the third symbol displayed in the middle row of the three third symbols and the third symbol displayed in the left and right columns. Further, in this case, the movement of the reflection units 310 and 320 and the door members 410 and 420 are integrated with each other by interlocking the reflection units 310 and 320 and the door members 410 and 420, so that the player feels visually. You can enhance your interest.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13D, the brightness of the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 (at the same time as the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 and the pair of door members 410 and 420 further move away from each other). The virtual virtual shutters X and Y formed by the difference in brightness of the LCD) are in the same direction as the movement direction of the pair of reflection units 310 and 320 and the pair of door members 410 and 420, and are in the directions close to each other or separated from each other. Move in the direction. Thereby, in addition to the effect by the reflection units 310 and 320 and the door members 410 and 420, the effect by the 3rd symbol display apparatus 81 can be performed. Further, since not only the function of displaying the third symbol on the third symbol display device 81 but also the function of adding an effect can be used, there is no need to separately provide a member for adding an effect, and accordingly, a pachinko machine. The product cost as a whole can be reduced. Furthermore, in this case, the reflection units 310 and 320 and the door members 410 and 420 and the virtual shutters X and Y are interlocked, so that the movements of the virtual shutters X and Y are reflected on the reflection units 310 and 320 and the door members 410 and 420. As an integral part of the movement, the visual interest that the player feels can be enhanced.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 13F, the pair of reflection units 310 and 320, the pair of door members 410 and 420, and the virtual shutters X and Y are further moved away from each other. As a result, the range of the display surface of the 3rd symbol display device 81 that can be visually recognized by the player is further expanded, and the left, middle, and right of the 3rd symbol display device 81 are displayed in a variable manner by scrolling horizontally on the display surface of the 3rd symbol display device 81.

In the character information storage area, character data as a material such as background symbols and decorative symbols is stored. Necessary data to be displayed on the third symbol display device 81 is read from the character information storage area and displayed. Written in storage area.

  The character information is stored in the character information storage area of the video RAM 234 because the processing speed is generally higher in the RAM than in the ROM. The character information is directly stored in the display storage area from the character ROM 235. This is because, in the case of direct writing, if the amount of data to be read is large, it takes time for reading and smooth display cannot be performed or clear display cannot be performed. Furthermore, this is because it is easy to process display data in the RAM (for example, change the size of the decorative design or change the color of the background design).

  The power supply unit 251 is a device that supplies necessary operating voltages to the control devices 110 to 114 and the like through a power supply path connected to the input / output ports 205, 215, 225, and 237. As its outline, the power supply unit 251 takes in the voltage of AC 24 volts supplied from the outside, and drives various switches such as various switches 208, solenoids such as the solenoid 209, motors, etc. A 5 volt voltage for logic, a backup voltage for RAM backup, and the like are generated, and necessary voltages are supplied to the control devices 110 to 114 and the like using the 12 volt voltage, the 5 volt voltage, and the backup voltage.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 252 is a circuit for outputting a power failure signal SG1 to each NMI terminal of the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 and the MPU 211 of the payout control device 111 when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 252 monitors the DC stable voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 251, and determines that a power failure (power interruption, power interruption) occurs when this voltage falls below 22 volts. Then, the power failure signal SG1 is output to the main controller 110 and the payout controller 111. By the output of the power failure signal SG1, the main controller 110 and the payout controller 111 recognize the occurrence of the power failure and execute an NMI interrupt process (not shown). Note that the power supply unit 251 outputs a voltage of 5 volts, which is a drive voltage of the control system, for a time sufficient to execute the NMI interrupt processing even after the DC stable voltage of 24 volts becomes less than 22 volts. Is maintained at a normal value. Therefore, the main control device 110 and the payout control device 111 can normally execute the NMI interrupt process (not shown), and can store and complete the information about the occurrence of power interruption in the RAM 203 and the RAM 213.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 253 is a circuit for outputting a RAM erase signal SG2 for clearing backup data to the main controller 110 when the RAM erase switch 122 is pressed. When the RAM erase signal SG2 is input when the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, the main control device 110 and the payout control device 111 clear the respective backup data and the payout control device 111 for clearing the backup data. A payout initialization command is transmitted to the payout control device 111.

  Here, the detailed configuration of the reflection units 1310 and 1320 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the pair of reflection units 1310 and 1320 are configured in the same manner, here, one of the pair of reflection units 1310 and 1320 will be described as an example. FIG. 16 is an exploded perspective view of the reflection unit 1310. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 16 indicate the up-down direction, the left-right direction, and the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the reflection unit 1310 includes a first reflection member 1311, a second reflection member 312 that is opposed to the first reflection member 1311 with the inner surface facing each other, and the first reflection member 1311. A reflective light emitting member 1318 disposed between opposing surfaces of the reflective member 1311 and the second reflective member 312, a light emitting diode substrate 1314 on which a light emitting diode 1313 that irradiates light to the reflective light emitting member 1318 is mounted, and each reflective member 1311, 312, the reflective light emitting member 1318, and the frame 316 that supports the light emitting diode substrate 1314.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the reflecting unit 1310 supports an axial shaft 317 having pinion gears 317a and 317b at the upper end and the lower end, respectively, so as to be rotatable around the axis.

  The first reflecting member 1311 is formed by a flat reflector having a metal thin film formed on the surface by vapor deposition, a so-called half mirror, and is incident from the inner surface side (arrow F direction side) of the first reflecting member 1311. At least a part of the light can be reflected, and at least a part of the light incident from the display surface side (arrow B direction side) of the third symbol display device 81 on the outer surface side of the first reflecting member 1311 is transmitted. It is configured to be possible. That is, the first reflecting member 1311 is configured so that the player can visually recognize the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 when facing the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 15). Yes. The first reflecting member 1311 is bent toward the inner surface side, and the distance from the reflected light emitting member 1318 of the bent portion is emitted from the reflected light emitting member 1318 and is applied to the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311. It is configured to be longer than the shortest distance of the accumulated distance of the optical path of the light reaching and shorter than the longest distance of the accumulated distance of the optical path. In addition, the 1st reflection member 1311 in this Embodiment is bent and formed toward the inner surface side in the width direction (arrow LR direction) approximate center.

  The first reflecting member 1311 and the second reflecting member 312 are in a state where the second reflecting member 312 is parallel to the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 and the first reflecting member 1311 is inclined with respect to the second reflecting member 312. It is supported by the frame 316 in such a state that the opposing distance between the first reflecting member 1311 and the second reflecting member 312 decreases as the distance from the reflected light emitting member 1318 increases (see FIG. 17).

  Further, in the configuration in which the facing distance between the first reflecting member 1311 and the second reflecting member 312 decreases as the distance from the reflecting light emitting member 1318 increases, the first reflecting member 1311 bends toward the inner surface side at approximately the center in the width direction. By being formed, the degree of decrease is configured to change (become small) at the substantially center in the width direction of the first reflecting member 1311 (see FIG. 17).

  The reflected light emitting member 1318 is formed in a flat plate shape by a material (plastic in this embodiment) that can reflect the light of the light emitting diode 1313 irradiated to the reflected light emitting member 1318, and the reflected reflected light is reflected on the first reflecting member 1311. And the second reflecting member 312 are configured to be able to emit light between the opposing surfaces. In addition, the right side surface (the surface on the arrow R direction side) of the reflective light emitting member 1318, that is, the surface on the light irradiation side of the light emitting diode 1313, has a plurality ( In this embodiment, 8 symbols) 1318a are drawn, and the portion where the symbol 1318a is drawn is configured to reflect the light of the light emitting diode 1313 applied to the reflective light emitting member 1318 more easily than other portions. ing. Note that the reflective light emitting member 1318 in the present embodiment has a white pattern 1318a on a black background.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the operation of the reflection unit 1310 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram schematically showing a cross section of the reflection unit 1310 taken along the line XVII-XVII in FIG. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 17 indicate the up-down direction, left-right direction, and front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  According to the reflection unit 1310 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 17, the reflected light L reflected by the reflected light emitting member 1318 is reflected by the light emitted from the light emitting diode 1313 to the reflected light emitting member 1318. The light is emitted toward the space between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 1311 and the second reflecting member 312. And the reflected light L radiate | emitted toward between the opposing surfaces of the 1st reflective member 1311 and the 2nd reflective member 312 repeats reflection between the opposing surfaces of the 1st reflective member 1311 and the 2nd reflective member 312. The mirror image of the reflected light L projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311 can be made visible to the player. In this case, since the pattern 1318a is drawn in a lighter (brighter) color tone than other parts on the right side surface of the reflective light emitting member 1318, that is, the surface of the light emitting diode 1313 on which light is irradiated, The reflected light L reflected on the pattern 1318a is emphasized. Therefore, the player can mainly view the mirror image of the symbol 1318a.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, when a point Q1 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311 is viewed from the viewpoint P of the player, a straight line connecting the point P and the point Q1 and the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311 Assuming that the angle formed by is θ1, the player can visually recognize the reflected light L incident on the point Q1 at the same angle as the angle θ1. That is, in the case of FIG. 17, the player is a mirror image of the reflected light L (reflected light L directly projected on the inner surface of the first reflective member 1311) that has directly reached the first reflective member 1311, and is a mirror image of the symbol 1318 a ( I1 can be viewed visually (hereinafter referred to as “first mirror image”).

  Further, when the point Q2 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, if the angle formed by the straight line connecting the point P and the point Q2 and the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311 is θ2, After entering the inner surface of the reflecting member 312 at an angle α and reflecting at the same angle α, the player can visually recognize the reflected light L incident on the point Q2 at the same angle θ2. That is, in the case of FIG. 17, the player reflects the reflected light L (reflected light reflected by the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 after reaching the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311 after being reflected by the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312). L is a mirror image of reflected light L) projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311, and a mirror image (hereinafter referred to as “second mirror image”) I <b> 2 of the pattern 1318 a can be visually recognized.

  On the other hand, when the range between the point Q1 and the point Q2 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, the symbol 1318a is positioned on the reflection path of the mirror image displayed in the range. Therefore, the mirror image of the symbol 1318a is not visually recognized by the player. That is, the mirror image displayed in the range between the point Q1 and the point Q2 is a mirror image of a part other than the part where the pattern 1318a of the reflected light emitting member 1318 is drawn. In addition, the other portion is reflected in the range between the point Q1 and the point Q2 because the light of the light emitting diode 1313 irradiated to the reflective light emitting member 1318 is less likely to be reflected than the portion where the pattern 1318a is drawn. The mirror image is unclear compared to the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2. Therefore, the player can clearly see the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2.

  As described above, similarly to the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2, the player reflects on the inner surfaces of the first reflecting member 1311 and then reflects on the inner surfaces of the first reflecting member 1311. It is a mirror image of the reflected light L that has arrived (the reflected light L that is reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311 and the reflected light L that is repeatedly reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311 and the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312). Thus, a mirror image of the symbol 1318a (hereinafter referred to as “third to nth mirror image”) I3 to In can be visually recognized.

  In this case, the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In are separated from the reflective light emitting member 1318 by a mirror image having a larger number of reflections (that is, the n-th mirror image In-1 than the n-1 mirror image In-1). And the length of the reflection path of each of the mirror images I1 to In (accumulated distance of the optical path from the reflection light emitting member 1318 to the inner surface of the first reflection member 1311) varies depending on the number of reflections ( A mirror image with more reflections has a longer reflection path).

  Accordingly, the player can make the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In visible to the back side (arrow B direction side) from the actual position (the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311). In this case, a mirror image with a large number of reflections and a long reflection path (that is, a reflection image) is shorter than a mirror image with a small number of reflections and a short reflection path (that is, a mirror image at a position close to the reflective light emitting member 1318). The degree of visual recognition on the far side (arrow B direction side) can be increased as the distance from the light emitting member 1318 is a mirror image. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the visual interest that the player feels by making the decoration effect of the reflected light L as a three-dimensional thing with perspective.

  In addition, since the facing distance between the first reflecting member 1311 and the second reflecting member 312 decreases as the distance from the reflecting light emitting member 1318 increases, the reflection path of the first to nth mirror images I1 to In is reduced. The rate of increase in length can be reduced with increasing number of reflections. Therefore, the degree of visual recognition on the back side (arrow B direction side) can be reduced as the mirror image having a large number of reflections (that is, the mirror image at a position away from the reflective light-emitting member 1318). A player can visually recognize a three-dimensional decoration in which n mirror images I1 to In are arranged in an arc shape.

  Furthermore, in the configuration in which the facing distance between the first reflecting member 1311 and the second reflecting member 312 decreases as the distance from the reflecting light emitting member 1318 increases, the degree of decrease changes at the substantially center in the width direction of the first reflecting member 1311 ( The three-dimensional decorations of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In arranged in an arc shape are changed to enhance the visual interest felt by the player. Can do.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the mirror image of the reflected light L reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 1311 at a position closer to the reflecting light emitting member 1318 than the bent portion of the first reflecting member 1311, that is, the first The mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2 are arranged on the imaginary curve C1, and are reflected on the inner surface of the first reflection member 1311 at a position farther from the reflection light emitting member 1318 than the bent portion of the first reflection member 1311. The mirror image of the reflected light L, that is, the third to n-th mirror images I3 to In are arranged on a virtual curve C2 having a larger curvature than the virtual curve C1. This changes the decoration by the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2 arranged on the virtual curve C1 and the decoration by the third to nth mirror images I3 to In arranged on the virtual curve C2. You can have it. Further, when the reflection unit 1310 faces the third symbol display device 81, a mirror image of the reflected light L that decorates the outer edge of the display surface of the third symbol display device 81, that is, a mirror image with a short reflection path length is arranged. The curvature of the imaginary curve C1 can be made smaller than the curvature of the imaginary curve C2 where the mirror image having a long reflection path is arranged, so that the first reflecting member 311 is not bent as in the first embodiment, Compared to the case where all of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In are arranged on a virtual curve with a constant curvature, a group of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In includes the third symbol display device 81. The position crossing the display surface can be brought close to the outer edge of the third symbol display device 81. Therefore, the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 can be covered over a wide range by the group of the first to nth mirror images I1 to In.

  In addition, since the reflected light emitting member 1318 has a plurality of (eight in the present embodiment) symbols 1318a, the first to nth mirror images formed by the reflected light L reflected by one symbol 1318a. A plurality of groups of I1 to In can be visually recognized by the player. Furthermore, the group of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In can be widely developed by the plurality of symbols 1318a, and the group of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In can be uniformly unfolded and unified. It can be a decorative decoration.

  Next, a variable display device unit 2080 in the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the same parts as those in the above embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. FIG. 18 is an exploded perspective view of the variable display device unit 2080 according to the third embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the variable display device unit 2080 in the third embodiment includes a third symbol display device 81 and an accessory device 82, and a reflection device 2300 disposed on the front side of the third symbol display device 81. And a door device 400 disposed on the front side of the reflecting device 2300.

  The reflection device 2300 includes a pair of reflection units 2310 and 2320, and a reflection unit moving device 330 that moves the pair of reflection units 2310 and 2320 in a direction toward or away from each other (arrow LR direction). It is configured.

  Here, the detailed configuration of the reflection units 2310 and 2320 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the pair of reflection units 2310 and 2320 are configured in the same manner, here, one of the pair of reflection units 2310 and 2320 will be described as an example. FIG. 19 is an exploded perspective view of the reflection unit 2310. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 19 indicate the up-down direction, the left-right direction, and the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the reflection unit 2310 includes a first reflection member 2311, a second reflection member 312 that is disposed to face the first reflection member 2311 with the inner surface facing each other, and the first reflection member 2311. A reflection light emitting member 2318 disposed between the opposing surfaces of the reflection member 2311 and the second reflection member 312, a light emitting diode substrate 1314 on which a light emitting diode 1313 that irradiates light to the reflection light emission member 2318 is mounted, and each reflection member 2311, 312, the reflective light emitting member 2318, and the frame 316 that supports the light emitting diode substrate 1314.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the reflection unit 2310 supports an axial shaft 317 having pinion gears 317 a and 317 b at the upper end and the lower end, respectively, so as to be rotatable around the axis.

  The first reflecting member 2311 is formed by a flat reflector having a metal thin film formed on the surface by vapor deposition, a so-called half mirror, and is incident from the inner surface side (arrow F direction side) of the first reflecting member 2311. At least a part of the light can be reflected, and at least a part of the light incident from the display surface side (arrow B direction side) of the third symbol display device 81 on the outer surface side of the first reflecting member 2311 is transmitted. It is configured to be possible. That is, the first reflecting member 2311 is configured so that the player can visually recognize the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 when facing the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 (see FIG. 18). Yes. The first reflecting member 2311 is formed in an arc shape that curves toward the inner surface side in the width direction (arrow LR direction).

  The first reflecting member 2311 and the second reflecting member 312 are in a state in which the second reflecting member 312 is parallel to the display surface of the third symbol display device 81, and the first reflecting member 2311 is inclined with respect to the second reflecting member 312. It is supported by the frame 316 in a state, and is configured such that the facing distance between the first reflecting member 2311 and the second reflecting member 312 decreases as the distance from the reflected light emitting member 2318 increases (see FIG. 20).

  Further, in the configuration in which the facing distance between the first reflecting member 2311 and the second reflecting member 312 decreases as the distance from the reflecting light emitting member 2318 increases, the first reflecting member 2311 has an arc shape that curves toward the inner surface in the width direction. By being formed, the degree of decrease is configured to change according to the degree of curvature of the first reflecting member 2311 (see FIG. 20).

  The reflected light emitting member 2318 is three-dimensionally formed of a material (plastic in this embodiment) that can reflect the light of the light emitting diode 2313 irradiated to the reflected light emitting member 2318, and the reflected reflected light is reflected on the first reflecting member 2311. And the second reflecting member 312 are configured to be able to emit light between the opposing surfaces. The frame 316 supports a plurality of (eight in this embodiment) reflected light emitting members 2318, and the first reflecting member 2311 and the second reflecting member 312 are spaced apart from each other by the plurality of reflected light emitting members 2318. Are arranged along the edge of the (in the direction of arrow UD).

  Next, the operation of the reflection unit 2310 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram schematically showing a cross section of the reflection unit 2310 along the line XX-XX in FIG. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 20 indicate the up-down direction, the left-right direction, and the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  According to the reflection unit 2310 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 20, the reflected light L reflected on the reflected light emitting member 2318 is reflected by the light emitted from the light emitting diode 1313 on the reflected light emitting member 2318. The light is emitted toward the space between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 2311 and the second reflecting member 312. And the reflected light L radiate | emitted toward between the opposing surfaces of the 1st reflective member 2311 and the 2nd reflective member 312 repeats reflection between the opposing surfaces of the 1st reflective member 2311 and the 2nd reflective member 312. The player can visually recognize the mirror image of the reflected light L projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311, that is, the mirror image of the reflected light emitting member 2318.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, when the point Q1 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, the straight line connecting the point P and the point Q1 and the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311 Assuming that the angle formed by is θ1, the player can visually recognize the reflected light L incident on the point Q1 at the same angle as the angle θ1. That is, in the case of FIG. 20, the player is a mirror image of the reflected light L that directly reaches the first reflecting member 2311 (the reflected light L that is directly projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311), and the three-dimensional reflected light emission. A mirror image (hereinafter, referred to as “first mirror image”) I1 of the member 2318 can be visually recognized.

  When the point Q2 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, if the angle formed by the straight line connecting the point P and the point Q2 and the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311 is θ2, After being incident on the inner surface of the reflecting member 2312 at an angle α and reflected at the same angle α, the player can visually recognize the reflected light L incident on the point Q2 at the same angle as the angle θ2. That is, in the case of FIG. 20, the player reflects the reflected light L (reflected light reflected by the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 after reaching the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311 after being reflected by the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312. L is a mirror image of the reflected light L) projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311, and the three-dimensional reflected light emitting member 2318 (hereinafter referred to as "second mirror image") I2 can be viewed. it can.

  On the other hand, when the range between the point Q1 and the point Q2 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, the reflected light emitting member 2318 is reflected on the reflection path of the mirror image displayed in the range. Is not positioned, the mirror image of the reflective light emitting member 2318 is not visually recognized by the player.

  Thus, like the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2, the player reflects on the inner surfaces of the first reflecting member 2311 and the second reflecting member 312 and then reflects on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311. This is a mirror image of the reflected light L that has arrived (the reflected light L that is reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311 and the reflected light L that is repeatedly reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311 and the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312). Thus, the mirror image (hereinafter referred to as “third to nth mirror image”) I3 to In of the three-dimensional reflection light emitting member 2318 can be visually recognized.

  In this case, the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In are separated from the reflective light emitting member 2318 by a mirror image having a larger number of reflections (that is, the n-th mirror image In-1 than the n-1 mirror image In-1). And the length of the reflection path of each of the mirror images I1 to In (accumulated distance of the optical path from the reflection light emitting member 2318 to the inner surface of the first reflection member 2311) varies depending on the number of reflections ( A mirror image with more reflections has a longer reflection path).

  Thereby, the player can make the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In visible to the back side (arrow B direction side) from the actual position (the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311). In this case, a mirror image with a large number of reflections and a long reflection path length (i.e., a reflection image) is smaller than a mirror image with a small number of reflections and a short reflection path length (i.e., a mirror image near the reflective light emitting member 2318). The degree of visual recognition on the far side (arrow B direction side) can be increased as the image is separated from the light emitting member 2318. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the visual interest that the player feels by making the decoration effect of the reflected light L as a three-dimensional thing with perspective.

  In addition, since the facing distance between the first reflecting member 2311 and the second reflecting member 312 decreases as the distance from the reflecting light emitting member 2318 increases, the reflection path of the first to nth mirror images I1 to In is reduced. The rate of increase in length can be reduced with increasing number of reflections. Therefore, the degree of visual recognition on the back side (arrow B direction side) can be reduced as the mirror image with a large number of reflections (that is, the mirror image at a position away from the reflective light emitting member 2318), and as a result, from the first to the first A player can visually recognize a three-dimensional decoration in which n mirror images I1 to In are arranged in an arc shape.

  Further, in the configuration in which the facing distance between the first reflecting member 2311 and the second reflecting member 312 decreases as the distance from the reflecting light emitting member 2318 increases, the degree of decrease changes according to the degree of curvature of the first reflecting member 2311. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the visual interest that the player feels by changing the three-dimensional decoration of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In arranged in an arc shape.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, a mirror image of the reflected light L projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311 at a position close to the reflecting light emitting member 2318, that is, a mirror image having a short reflecting path length is an imaginary curve. A mirror image of the reflected light L projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 2311 at a position away from the reflecting light emitting member 2318, that is, a mirror image having a long reflecting path length, is arranged in a range where the curvature on C is relatively small. Are arranged in a range where the curvature on the virtual curve C is relatively large. Thereby, it is possible to change the decoration by the mirror image arranged in the range where the curvature on the virtual curve C is relatively small and the decoration by the mirror image arranged in the range where the curvature on the virtual curve C is relatively large. . Further, when the reflection unit 2310 faces the third symbol display device 81, a mirror image of the reflected light L that decorates the outer edge of the display surface of the third symbol display device 81, that is, a mirror image with a short reflection path length is arranged. The curvature of the imaginary curve C can be smaller than the curvature of the imaginary curve C where the mirror image having a long reflection path is arranged, so that the first reflecting member 311 is not curved as in the first embodiment. Compared to the case where all of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In are arranged on a virtual curve with a constant curvature, a group of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In includes the third symbol display device 81. The position crossing the display surface can be brought close to the outer edge of the third symbol display device 81. Therefore, the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 can be covered over a wide range by the group of the first to nth mirror images I1 to In.

  In addition, since the plurality of reflected light emitting members 2318 are provided, the player can visually recognize a plurality of groups of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In formed by the reflected light L reflected by the one reflected light emitting member 2318. be able to. Further, the plurality of reflected light emitting members 2318 can widely develop a group of first to n-th mirror images I1 to In, and can uniformly develop a group of first to n-th mirror images I1 to In. Can be decorated with a sense of unity.

  In FIG. 20, the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In are shown in the same shape as the reflective light emitting member 2318. In practice, however, the first reflective member 2311 is formed in an arc shape. The 1st to n-th mirror images I1 to In have shapes in which the shape of the reflective light emitting member 2318 is distorted widely.

  Next, a variable display device unit 3080 in the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the same parts as those in the above embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. FIG. 21 is an exploded perspective view of the variable display device unit 3080 according to the fourth embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the variable display device unit 3080 in the fourth embodiment includes a third symbol display device 81 and an accessory device 82, and a reflection device 3300 disposed on the front side of the third symbol display device 81. And a door device 400 disposed on the front side of the reflecting device 3300.

  The reflection device 3300 includes a pair of reflection units 3310 and 3320 and a reflection unit moving device 330 that moves the pair of reflection units 3310 and 3320 in a direction close to or away from each other (arrow LR direction). It is configured.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 22, the detailed structure of the reflection units 3310 and 3320 will be described. Note that the pair of reflection units 3310 and 3320 are configured in the same manner, and therefore, here, one of the pair of reflection units 3310 and 3320 will be described as an example. FIG. 22 is an exploded perspective view of the reflection unit 3310. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 22 indicate the up-down direction, left-right direction, and front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the reflection unit 3310 includes a first reflection member 311, a second reflection member 312 that is disposed to face the first reflection member 311 with the inner surface facing each other, and the first reflection member 311. A light emitting diode substrate 314 mounted with a light emitting diode 313 that emits light toward the space between the opposing surfaces of the reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312, and a light shielding member 3319 disposed to face the mounting surface of the light emitting diode substrate 314. And a frame 316 that supports each of the reflecting members 311 and 312, the light emitting diode substrate 314, and the light shielding member 3319.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the reflection unit 3310 supports an axial shaft 317 having pinion gears 317 a and 317 b at the upper end and the lower end, respectively, so as to be rotatable around the axis.

  The light blocking member 3319 is for blocking light incident from the light emitting diode 313, and is formed of a material having low light transmittance (in this embodiment, opaque plastic), and can block light from the light emitting diode 313. It is configured. The light shielding member 3319 is formed with a plurality of (eight in the present embodiment) translucent portions 3319a that are shaped like a pattern, and out of the light of the light emitting diode 313 incident on the light shielding member 3319. The light transmitted through the light transmitting portion 3319a is configured to be emitted toward the space between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312.

  Next, the operation of the reflection unit 3310 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 is a schematic diagram schematically showing a cross section of the reflection unit 3310 along the line XXIII-XXIII in FIG. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 23 indicate the up-down direction, the left-right direction, and the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  According to the reflection unit 3310 configured as described above, the light of the light emitting diode 313 is irradiated on the light shielding member 3319 as shown in FIG. The light L that has passed through the translucent portion 3319a is emitted toward the space between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312. Then, the light L emitted toward the space between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 is repeatedly reflected between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312. The player can visually recognize the mirror image of the light L projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311, that is, the mirror image corresponding to the shape of the light transmitting portion 3319 a.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, when the point Q1 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, the straight line connecting the point P and the point Q1 and the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 Assuming that the angle formed by θ1 is θ1, the player can visually recognize the light L incident on the point Q1 at the same angle as the angle θ1. That is, in the case of FIG. 23, the player has a mirror image of the light L (light L directly projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311) that has directly reached the first reflecting member 311, and has the shape of the translucent portion 3319 a. A corresponding mirror image (hereinafter referred to as “first mirror image”) I1 can be visually recognized.

  When the point Q2 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, if the angle formed by the straight line connecting the point P and the point Q2 and the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is θ2, After being incident on the inner surface of the reflecting member 312 at an angle α and reflected at the same angle α, the player can visually recognize the light L incident on the point Q2 at the same angle as the angle θ2. That is, in the case of FIG. 23, the player receives the light L that has been reflected by the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 and then has reached the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 (the light L reflected by the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312). A mirror image (hereinafter referred to as “second mirror image”) I2 corresponding to the shape of the translucent portion 3319a, which is a mirror image of the light L) projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 can be viewed.

  On the other hand, when the range between the point Q1 and the point Q2 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, the light transmitting portion 3319a is reflected on the reflection path of the mirror image displayed in the range. Is not positioned, the mirror image corresponding to the shape of the translucent portion 3319a is not visually recognized by the player.

  As described above, similarly to the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2, the player reflects on the inner surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 and then reflects on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311. It is a mirror image of light L that has arrived (light L that has been reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 and the light L that has been repeatedly reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 and the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312). Mirror images (hereinafter referred to as “third to n-th mirror images”) I3 to In corresponding to the shape of the portion 3319a can be viewed.

  In this case, the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In are separated from the translucent portion 3319a as the mirror image having a larger number of reflections (that is, the n-th mirror image In than the n-1 mirror image In-1). And the length of the reflection path of each of the mirror images I1 to In (accumulated distance of the optical path from the translucent portion 3319a to the inner surface of the first reflection member 311) varies depending on the number of reflections ( A mirror image with more reflections has a longer reflection path).

  Accordingly, the player can make the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In visible to the back side (arrow B direction side) from the actual position (the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311). In this case, a mirror image with a large number of reflections and a long reflection path length (that is, a transmission image with a longer reflection path length than a mirror image with a short reflection path length and a short reflection path length (that is, a mirror image at a position close to the translucent portion 3319a). The degree of visual recognition on the back side (arrow B direction side) can be increased as the distance from the light portion 3319a is a mirror image. Therefore, the visual interest that the player feels can be enhanced by making the decoration effect by the light L as a stereoscopic thing with perspective.

  In addition, since the facing distance between the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 decreases as the distance from the translucent portion 3319a decreases, the reflection path of the first to nth mirror images I1 to In can be reduced. The rate of increase in length can be reduced with increasing number of reflections. Therefore, the degree of visual recognition on the back side (arrow B direction side) can be reduced as the mirror image having a large number of reflections (that is, the mirror image at a position away from the translucent portion 3319a). A player can visually recognize a three-dimensional decoration in which n mirror images I1 to In are arranged in an arc shape.

  In addition, since the light-shielding member 3319 has a plurality of light-transmitting portions 3319a, a group of first to n-th mirror images I1 to In formed by the light L transmitted through one light-transmitting portion 3319a is played. A person can visually recognize a plurality. Furthermore, a group of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In can be widely developed by the plurality of light transmitting portions 3319a, and the group of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In can be uniformly developed. Can be decorated with a sense of unity.

  Next, a variable display device unit 4080 in the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the same parts as those in the above embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. FIG. 24 is an exploded perspective view of the variable display device unit 4080 in the fifth embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 24, the variable display device unit 4080 in the fifth embodiment includes a third symbol display device 81 and an accessory device 82, and a reflection device 4300 disposed on the front side of the third symbol display device 81. And a door device 400 disposed on the front side of the reflecting device 4300.

  The reflection device 4300 includes a pair of reflection units 4310 and 4320 and a reflection unit moving device 330 that moves the pair of reflection units 4310 and 4320 in a direction toward or away from each other.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 25, the detailed structure of the reflection units 4310 and 4320 is demonstrated. Since the pair of reflection units 4310 and 4320 are configured in the same manner, here, one of the pair of reflection units 4310 and 4320 will be described as an example. FIG. 25 is an exploded perspective view of the reflection unit 4310. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 25 indicate the up-down direction, left-right direction, and front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the reflection unit 4310 includes a first reflection member 311, a second reflection member 312 that is disposed to face the first reflection member 311 with the inner surface facing each other, and the first reflection member 311. An LED substrate 4314 on which a 7-segment LED 4313 that emits light toward the surface between the reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 is mounted, and a frame 316 that supports the reflecting members 311 and 312 and the LED substrate 4314. It is prepared for.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the reflection unit 4310 supports an axial shaft 317 having pinion gears 317a and 317b at the upper end and the lower end, respectively, so as to be rotatable around the axis.

  The 7-segment LED 4313 includes a plurality of light emitting diodes 4313a, and is configured to be able to emit light from the light emitting diodes 4313a toward the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312. Further, in this 7-segment LED 4313, seven light emitting diodes 4313a are arranged in an eight-letter shape, and light of these light emitting diodes 4313a is controlled by the display control device 114 (see FIG. 14). 1 ”and“ 8 ”are configured to be able to display symmetrical numbers.

  Next, the operation of the reflection unit 4310 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 26 is a schematic diagram schematically showing a cross section of the reflection unit 4310 along the line XXVI-XXVI in FIG. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 26 indicate the up-down direction, the left-right direction, and the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  According to the reflection unit 4310 configured as described above, the light L of the 7-segment LED 4313 emitted toward the space between the opposing surfaces of the first reflection member 311 and the second reflection member 312 is obtained as shown in FIG. By repeating reflection between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312, the player can visually recognize a mirror image of the light L projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311. In this case, any number of “0”, “1”, or “8” is displayed on the 7-segment LED 4313, so that the player can obtain “0”, “1”, or “8” as a mirror image of the number. ”Can be visually recognized.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26, when the point Q1 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, the straight line connecting the point P and the point Q1 and the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 Assuming that the angle formed by θ1 is θ1, the player can visually recognize the light L incident on the point Q1 at the same angle as the angle θ1. That is, in the case of FIG. 26, the player displays a mirror image of the light L (light L directly projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311) that has directly reached the first reflecting member 311 and displayed on the 7-segment LED 4313. A numerical mirror image (hereinafter referred to as a “first mirror image”) I1 can be visually recognized.

  When the point Q2 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, if the angle formed by the straight line connecting the point P and the point Q2 and the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is θ2, After being incident on the inner surface of the reflecting member 312 at an angle α and reflected at the same angle α, the player can visually recognize the light L incident on the point Q2 at the same angle as the angle θ2. That is, in the case of FIG. 26, the player receives the light L that has been reflected by the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 and then has reached the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 (the light L reflected by the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312). A mirror image of the light L) projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 and a numerical mirror image (hereinafter referred to as “second mirror image”) I2 displayed on the 7-segment LED 4313 can be viewed. In FIG. 26, the case where the numeral 8 is displayed as the first and second mirror images I1 and I2 by displaying the numeral 8 on the 7-segment LED 4313 is illustrated.

  On the other hand, when the range between the point Q1 and the point Q2 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is visually recognized from the viewpoint P of the player, the 7 segment LED 4313 is on the reflection path of the mirror image displayed in the range. Since it is not positioned, the mirror image of the light L is not visually recognized by the player.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the first reflecting member 311, the second reflecting member 312, and the support state of the LED substrate 4314 to the frame 316, that is, the first reflecting member 311, the second reflecting member 312, the LED substrate 4314, and the like. The number of times the light L is reflected between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 is limited by adjusting the angle between the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2. Two mirror images are configured to be visually recognized by the player.

  In this case, the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2 are positioned farther from the 7-segment LED 4313 as the mirror image having a larger number of reflections (that is, the second mirror image I2 than the first mirror image I1). The length of the reflection path of each of the mirror images I1 and I2 (accumulated distance of the optical path from the 7-segment LED 4313 to the inner surface of the first reflection member 311) varies depending on the number of reflections (that is, the first The reflection path is longer for the second mirror image I2 than for the mirror image I1).

  Thus, the player can visually recognize the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2 on the back side (arrow B direction side) from the actual position (the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311). In this case, a mirror image with a large number of reflections and a long reflection path length (that is, the first mirror image I1 close to the 7-segment LED 4313) with a small number of reflections and a short reflection path length (that is, a first mirror image I1 close to the 7-segment LED 4313). The second mirror image I2) that is separated from the 7-segment LED 4313) can increase the degree of visual recognition on the back side (arrow B direction side). Therefore, the visual interest that the player feels can be enhanced by making the decoration effect by the light L as a stereoscopic thing with perspective.

  Further, the 7-segment LED 4313 is configured to be able to display a plurality of types of numbers (“0”, “1”, and “8”), and to switch and display the plurality of types of numbers by the display control device 114. Therefore, the mirror images of the plurality of types of light L respectively corresponding to the plurality of types of display modes on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 can be made to appear. Thus, the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2 have a sense of unity with the display mode on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81, and the player uses the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2. The impression given to can be enhanced.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 27, an effect performed by the variable display device unit 4080 in the fifth embodiment will be described. FIG. 27 is a schematic diagram schematically showing the front of the variable display device unit 4080. However, in FIG. 27, only the reflection units 4310 and 4320 and the third symbol display device 81 are illustrated for easy understanding.

  The variable display device unit 4080 configured as described above has the first reflecting member 311 opposed to the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 so that the first mirror image appears by the reflecting units 4310 and 4320. The player can visually recognize the I1 and the second mirror image I2 while being superimposed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. Thereby, for example, the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is decorated with the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2 (the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image). The first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2 are visually recognized on the front side and the back side of the display surface, which are covered with I2, and the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2 and the third symbol display device 81. The state (display position, color, brightness, movement, timing, etc.) of the display screen can be linked, and the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 can be watched by the player.

  The distance between the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 and the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is the length of the reflecting path of the first mirror image I1, that is, the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 from the 7-segment LED 4313. The first path is configured to be longer than the shortest distance of the cumulative distance of the optical path until reaching the first and shorter than the length of the reflection path of the second mirror image I2, that is, the longest distance of the cumulative distance of the optical path. The mirror image I1 can be visually recognized in front of the display surface of the third symbol display device 81, while the second mirror image I2 can be visually recognized in the back of the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. That is, the player can visually recognize a three-dimensional decoration in which the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2 cross the display surface of the third symbol display device 81.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 27A, a mirror image of any number of “0”, “1”, or “8” is displayed by the reflection unit 4310, so that the third and third columns in the left and middle rows are displayed. A symbol can be displayed in place of the third symbol display device 81 to achieve a reach effect. In this case, the third symbol in the left row can be displayed by the first mirror image I1, and the third symbol in the middle row can be displayed by the second mirror image I2. Therefore, in the reach effect, the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image can be displayed. The player can visually recognize the three-dimensional decoration by I2.

  Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 27 (b), the reflection unit 4310, 4320 displays a mirror image of the numbers “0”, “1”, or “8” and performs a countdown display to perform a notice effect. be able to. In this case, the player can visually recognize the three-dimensional decoration by the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2 in the notice effect.

  Next, a variable display device unit 5080 in the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the same parts as those in the above embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. FIG. 28 is an exploded perspective view of a variable display device unit 5080 according to the sixth embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 28, the variable display device unit 5080 in the sixth embodiment includes a third symbol display device 81 and an accessory device 82, and a reflection device 5300 disposed on the front side of the third symbol display device 81. And a door device 400 disposed on the front side of the reflecting device 5300.

  The reflection device 5300 includes a pair of reflection units 5310 and 5320 and a reflection unit moving device 330 that moves the pair of reflection units 5310 and 5320 in a direction toward or away from each other.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 29, the detailed structure of the reflection units 5310 and 5320 is demonstrated. Since the pair of reflection units 5310 and 5320 are configured in the same manner, here, one of the pair of reflection units 5310 and 5320 will be described as an example. FIG. 29 is an exploded perspective view of the reflection unit 5310. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 29 indicate the up-down direction, left-right direction, and front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 29, the reflection unit 5310 includes a first reflection member 311, a second reflection member 312 that is opposed to the first reflection member 311 with the inner surface facing each other, and the first reflection member 311. A liquid crystal display (hereinafter referred to as “LCD”) 5313 that emits light between the opposing surfaces of the reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312, a shielding member 5340 that is disposed to face the display surface of the LCD 5313, The reflection member 311, 312, the LCD 5313, and the frame 316 that supports the shielding member 5340 are configured.

  As shown in FIG. 29, the reflecting unit 5310 supports an axial shaft 317 having pinion gears 317a and 317b at the upper end and the lower end, respectively, so as to be rotatable around the axis.

  The LCD 5313 has a liquid crystal panel that displays a predetermined pattern using light transmitted through the liquid crystal, and directs the light of the liquid crystal panel to between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312. And can be emitted. In addition, the LCD 5313 controls the display contents of the liquid crystal panel by the display control device 114 (see FIG. 14), so that each of the plurality of types of third symbols displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is variably displayed. It is configured to be able to display a reverse design of the corresponding design.

  The shielding member 5340 is a material for shielding the light that first exits from the LCD 5313 and then reaches the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312. The shielding member 5340 is a material that does not have translucency (in this embodiment, a colored member). Synthetic resin) and disposed opposite to the LCD 5313 on the second reflecting member 312 side.

  According to the shielding member 5340, when the light of the LCD 5313 is emitted toward the surface between the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312, the light is emitted from the LCD 5313 and then on the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312. The light that reaches first is shielded by the shielding member 5340. Therefore, the light emitted from the LCD 5313 does not directly reach the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312, and the player directly receives the light that directly reaches the first reflecting member 311 (directly reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311. Light that reaches the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 after directly reaching the first reflecting member 311 and reflected by the inner surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 (first reflecting member). 311 and the light reflected from the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312, such as a mirror image of light reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311), and the like, formed by light that is emitted from the LCD 5313 and reaches the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311. Only the mirror image to be viewed can be viewed.

  Next, the operation of the reflection unit 5310 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 30 is a schematic diagram schematically showing a cross section of the reflection unit 5310 along the line XXX-XXX in FIG. Note that arrows UD, LR, and FB in FIG. 30 indicate the up-down direction, left-right direction, and front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, respectively.

  According to the reflection unit 5310 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 30, the reflection unit 5310 is emitted toward the space between the opposing surfaces of the first reflection member 311 and the second reflection member 312, and is applied to the inner surface of the first reflection member 311. The light L of the reaching LCD 5313 is repeatedly reflected between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312, thereby allowing the player to visually recognize a mirror image of the light L projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311. be able to. In this case, by displaying on the LCD 5313 the inverted symbols corresponding to each of a plurality of types of third symbols variably displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81, the player can obtain a mirror image of the inverted symbols. The symbols corresponding to the plurality of types of third symbols can be visually recognized.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 30, when a point Q1 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, a straight line connecting the point P and the point Q1 and the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 Assuming that the angle formed by θ1 is θ1, the player can visually recognize the light L incident on the point Q1 at the same angle as the angle θ1. That is, in the case of FIG. 30, the player is shown a mirror image of the light L that has directly reached the first reflecting member 311 (light L that is directly projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311) and is displayed on the LCD 5313. A mirror image (hereinafter referred to as “first mirror image”) I1 can be visually recognized.

  Further, when the point Q2 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is viewed from the player's viewpoint P, if the angle formed by the straight line connecting the points P and Q2 and the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is θ2, After being incident on the inner surface of the reflecting member 311 at an angle α and reflected at the same angle α and incident on the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 at an angle β and reflected at the same angle as the angle β, the same as the angle θ2 The player can visually recognize the light L incident on the point Q2 at an angle. That is, in the case of FIG. 30, the player reaches the first reflecting member 311 directly, reflects the light on the inner surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312, and then reaches the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311. A mirror image of L (a light L formed by the light L reflected from the inner surfaces of the first reflecting member 311 and the second reflecting member 312 being projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311), and the mirror image of the pattern displayed on the LCD 5313 I2 can be visually recognized (hereinafter referred to as “second mirror image”).

  On the other hand, when the range between the point Q1 and the point Q2 on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 is visually recognized from the viewpoint P of the player, the LCD 5313 is not positioned on the reflection path of the mirror image displayed in the range. Alternatively, since the first light that is emitted from the LCD 5313 and then reaches the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 is shielded by the shielding member 5340, the mirror image of the symbol displayed on the LCD 5313 is visually recognized by the player. Absent.

  As described above, similarly to the first mirror image I1 and the second mirror image I2, the player directly reaches the first reflection member 311 and is reflected by the inner surfaces of the first reflection member 311 and the second reflection member 312. The light L that has reached the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 (the light L that has been repeatedly reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 and the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 is reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311. L), which are mirror images of the symbols displayed on the LCD 5313 (hereinafter referred to as “third to nth mirror images”) I3 to In.

  In this case, the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In are located farther from the LCD 5313 as the mirror image having a larger number of reflections (that is, the n-th mirror image In-1 than the n-1 mirror image In-1). The length of the reflection path of each of the mirror images I1 to In (accumulated distance of the optical path from the LCD 5313 to the inner surface of the first reflection member 311) varies depending on the number of reflections (mirror image having a large number of reflections). The longer the reflection path).

  Accordingly, the player can make the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In visible to the back side (arrow B direction side) from the actual position (the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311). In this case, a mirror image with a large number of reflections and a long reflection path is separated from a mirror image with a small number of reflections and a short reflection path length (that is, a mirror image at a position close to the LCD 5313). The degree of visual recognition on the back side (arrow B direction side) can be increased as the position is mirror image. Therefore, the visual interest that the player feels can be enhanced by making the decoration effect by the light L as a stereoscopic thing with perspective.

  Further, the LCD 5313 is configured to be able to display the inverted symbols of the symbols respectively corresponding to a plurality of types of third symbols variably displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. Therefore, the first to nth mirror images are displayed. It is possible to enhance the impression given to the player by the first to nth mirror images I1 to In by giving I1 to In and the third symbol variably displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. it can.

  In the present embodiment, the shielding member 5340 is disposed opposite to the LCD 5313 on the second reflecting member 312 side, so that the light that first reaches the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 after being emitted from the LCD 5313 is shielded. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The shielding member 5340 is disposed opposite to the LCD 5313 on the first reflecting member 311 side, and is emitted from the LCD 5313 first on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311. You may comprise so that the light which arrives may be shielded.

  In this case, the light emitted from the LCD 5313 does not directly reach the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311, and the player directly receives the light that has reached the second reflecting member 312 (the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312. Light reflected directly on the second reflecting member 312 and reflected by the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 and then reaching the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 (the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312). Only the mirror image formed by the light emitted from the LCD 5313 and reaching the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 such as a mirror image of the light reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311) is visible. it can. As a result, the player can visually recognize the symbol in the same manner as the symbol as a mirror image of the symbol displayed on the LCD 5313.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the light that first exits from the LCD 5313 and then reaches the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 is shielded by the shielding member 5340, thereby forming the light that reaches the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, and instead of the shielding member 5340, the light emitted from the LCD 5313 is a part of the second reflecting member 312. You may comprise so that a player may visually recognize only the mirror image formed with the light which reaches | attains the inner surface of the 1st reflection member 311 by making the site | part which reaches | attains first into a shielding part.

  However, in the case where a part of the second reflecting member 312 is a shielding part, the light emitted from the LCD 5313 is moved even if the player's viewpoint moves as much as it is located farther from the LCD 5313 than the shielding member 5340. It is necessary to secure a large shielding portion so as to shield. Therefore, as in this embodiment, the light emitted from the LCD 5313 is shielded by the shielding member 5340, so that the light necessary for forming the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In is progressed. (Progress of the light L shown in FIG. 30) is difficult to be prevented, and there are few restrictions on the viewpoint range in which the player can visually recognize the first to nth mirror images I1 to In (first to nth mirror images I1 to I1). (In is hardly shielded).

  Similarly, only a mirror image formed by the light reaching the inner surface of the second reflecting member 312 is a part of the first reflecting member 311 and the portion where the light emitted from the LCD 5313 first reaches is a shielding portion. You may comprise so that a player may visually recognize.

  In the variable display device unit 5080 configured as described above, the first reflecting member 311 is arranged to face the display surface of the third symbol display device 81, so that the first to the first members appear by the reflecting units 5310 and 5320. It is possible for the player to visually recognize the n mirror images I1 to In superimposed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. Thus, for example, the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is decorated with the first to nth mirror images I1 to In (the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 is changed to the first to nth mirror images I1 to In. The first to n-th mirror images I1 to In are visually recognized on the front side and the back side of the display surface, and the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In and the display of the third symbol display device 81. Since the states (display position, color, brightness, movement, timing, etc.) can be linked, the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 can be watched by the player.

  Further, the facing distance between the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 and the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 reaches the length of the reflecting path of the first mirror image I1, that is, the inner surface of the first reflecting member 311 from the LCD 5313. The first to first are configured so as to be longer than the shortest distance of the accumulated distance of the optical path until and the length of the reflection path of the nth mirror image In, that is, shorter than the longest distance of the accumulated distance of the optical path. Among the mirror images I1 to In of n, a mirror image whose reflection path is shorter than the facing distance is visually recognized on the near side of the display surface of the third symbol display device 81, while the length of the reflecting path is shorter than the facing distance. A long mirror image can be viewed behind the display surface of the third symbol display device 81. That is, the player can visually recognize a three-dimensional decoration in which a group of the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In crosses the display surface of the third symbol display device 81.

  Further, for example, by reflecting the mirror images of the symbols corresponding to a plurality of types of third symbols that are variably displayed on the display surface of the third symbol display device 81 by the reflection units 5310 and 5320, the third symbol display device 81 is displayed. Alternatively, various effects such as a reach effect and a notice effect can be performed together with the third symbol display device 81. In this case, in various effects such as a reach effect and a notice effect, the player can visually recognize the three-dimensional decoration by the first to n-th mirror images I1 to In.

In this case, a large amount of balls are paid out to the lower tray.

  Hereinafter, in addition to the gaming machine of the present invention, concepts of various inventions included in each of the above embodiments are shown.

  The first reflecting member, the second reflecting member disposed opposite to the first reflecting member in a state where the inner surface faces each other, and the light toward the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member And a light emitting body configured to emit light, wherein the first reflecting member is configured to reflect at least part of light incident from the inner surface side of the first reflecting member. The second reflecting member can reflect a part of the light incident from the inner surface side of the second reflecting member and can transmit a part of the light incident from the inner surface side of the second reflecting member. The light emitter is capable of displaying a symbol on a surface facing the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member, and emits light having a shape corresponding to the symbol of the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member. It must be configured to be able to emit light between the opposing surfaces. Game machine A1 to be characterized.

  According to the gaming machine A1, it is possible to emit light toward the first reflecting member, the second reflecting member disposed to face the first reflecting member, and between the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member. The first reflecting member is configured to be capable of reflecting at least part of light incident from the inner surface side of the first reflecting member, and the second reflecting member. Is configured to be able to reflect a part of the light incident from the inner surface side of the second reflecting member and to transmit a part of the light incident from the inner surface of the second reflecting member. By disposing the reflection unit in a direction in which the player can visually recognize the outer surface side of the two reflecting members, the light reflected by the inner surface of the first reflecting member and transmitted through the second reflecting member (that is, the inner surface of the first reflecting member) The light of the illuminant projected on the player) Kill.

  In other words, the player gives a mirror image (hereinafter referred to as “first mirror image”) of light emitted from the light emitter and directly reaching the inner surface of the first reflecting member (that is, light of the light emitter directly projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member). And the light that is emitted from the light emitter, reflected by the inner surface of the first reflecting member, then reflected by the inner surface of the second reflecting member, and reaches the inner surface of the first reflecting member (that is, the second reflecting member). A mirror image (hereinafter referred to as a “second mirror image”) of the light emitted from the light emitter reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member and projected from the light emitter. After the light is reflected from the inner surface of the first reflecting member and then reflected from the inner surface of the second reflecting member, the light reaching the inner surface of the first reflecting member (that is, the inner surface of the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member) Of light emitted from the illuminant repeatedly reflected on the inner surface of the first projection member. A mirror image of the light) (hereinafter referred to as "mirror image of the first n") can be a visible, respectively.

  In this case, each of the first to n-th mirror images is located farther from the light emitter as the mirror image having a larger number of reflections (that is, the n-th mirror image than the n-1 mirror image), and the reflection path of each mirror image. (Accumulated distance of the optical path from the light emitter to the inner surface of the first reflecting member) varies depending on the number of reflections (the mirror image with a larger number of reflections has a longer reflection path). .

  This allows the player to visually recognize each mirror image behind the actual position (the inner surface of the first reflecting member). In this case, the number of reflections is small and the length of the reflection path is small. The degree that a mirror image with a larger number of reflections and a longer reflection path length (that is, a mirror image at a position away from the light emitter) is visible to the back side than a short mirror image (that is, a mirror image at a position close to the light emitter). Therefore, the visual effect that the player feels can be enhanced by making the decoration effect of the light emitter a three-dimensional thing with perspective.

  In addition, the illuminator is configured to display a design and to emit light having a shape corresponding to the design toward the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member. The player can visually recognize the mirror image of the displayed symbol. Thereby, the impression given to the player by each of the first to nth mirror images can be enhanced.

  The gaming machine A1 includes display control means for controlling display contents of symbols displayed on the light emitter, and the light emitter has a plurality of types of symbols on a surface facing the first reflective member and the second reflective member. A gaming machine A2 characterized in that it can be displayed and can be switched and displayed by the display control means.

  According to the gaming machine A2, the display control means for controlling the display contents of the symbols displayed on the light emitter is provided, and the light emitter can display a plurality of types of symbols, and the plurality of types of symbols can be displayed by the display control means. Since it can be switched and displayed, it is possible for the player to visually recognize the mirror image of the symbol displayed on the light emitter, and also to view each mirror image by switching between multiple types of symbols displayed on the light emitter. Variations can be made to the embodiment. Thereby, the impression given to the player by each of the first to nth mirror images can be enhanced.

  The gaming machine A1 or A2 includes a display device having a display surface on which identification information such as symbols is displayed, and the first reflecting member is disposed to face the display surface of the display device, and the display of the display device A gaming machine A3 that is configured to transmit at least part of light incident from the surface side.

  According to the gaming machine A3, it is provided with a display device having a display surface on which identification information such as symbols is displayed, and the first reflecting member is disposed to face the display surface of the display device and from the display surface side of the display device. Since it is configured to transmit at least part of the incident light, it is possible for the player to overlap the identification information displayed on the display surface of the display device and the mirror image of the light emitter formed by the reflection unit. It can be visually recognized. Accordingly, for example, the identification information displayed on the display surface of the display device is decorated with a mirror image of the light emitter (the display image of the display device is covered with the mirror image of the light emitter, and the mirror image is displayed on the near side or the back side of the display surface. Display device) and the state of the identification information displayed on the display surface of the display device and the mirror image of the light emitter (display position, color, brightness, movement, timing, etc.) can be linked. The player can watch the identification information displayed on the display surface.

  In addition, the light emitter is configured to display a design and to emit light having a shape corresponding to the design toward the space between the opposing surfaces of the first reflective member and the second reflective member, and is displayed on the light emitter. Since the mirror image of the symbol can be visually recognized by the player, for example, instead of the display device or together with the display device, various effects such as reach effect and notice effect are performed by the mirror image of the symbol displayed on the light emitter. Can do. Thereby, the player can visually recognize the three-dimensional decoration by the light emitter in various effects such as the reach effect and the notice effect.

  In the gaming machine A3, the reflection unit is configured such that a facing distance between the inner surface of the first reflection member and the display surface of the display device is emitted from the light emitter and reaches the inner surface of the first reflection member. The gaming machine A4 is configured to be longer than the shortest distance of the accumulated optical path and shorter than the longest distance of the accumulated optical path.

  According to the gaming machine A4, in the reflection unit, the facing distance between the inner surface of the first reflecting member and the display surface of the display device is the cumulative distance of the optical path of the light emitted from the light emitter and reaching the inner surface of the first reflecting member. Since it is longer than the shortest distance and shorter than the longest distance of the accumulated distance of the optical path, the accumulated distance of the optical path among the first to n-th mirror images formed by the reflecting unit is the first reflecting member. A mirror image shorter than the facing distance between the inner surface of the display device and the display surface of the display device (a mirror image on the side closer to the light emitter) is visually recognized in front of the display surface of the display device. A long mirror image (a mirror image far from the light emitter) can be viewed behind the display surface of the display device, that is, a group in which a group of first to n-th mirror images crosses the display surface of the display device. The player can see the typical decoration .

The reflected light can be reflected in a shape corresponding to the design, and the reflected light can be emitted toward the opposing surfaces of the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member. Game machine A5.

  According to the gaming machine A5, the surface of the illuminant on which the symbol is displayed is irradiated with light by the light emitting means, so that the reflected light reflected by the illuminant in a shape corresponding to the symbol is reflected by the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member. The light is emitted toward the opposing surfaces of the members. And the reflected light radiate | emitted toward between the opposing surfaces of a 1st reflective member and a 2nd reflective member repeats reflection between the opposing surfaces of a 1st reflective member and a 2nd reflective member, and the inner surface of a 1st reflective member The player can visually recognize the mirror image of the reflected light displayed on the screen, that is, the mirror image of the symbol displayed on the light emitter. Thereby, there is no need to directly display the symbol on the light emitter by light, and there is an effect that a mirror image of the symbol having a desired shape can be obtained with an easy and simple structure.

  In any one of the gaming machines A1 to A5, the reflection unit is configured so that a facing distance between the first reflection member and the second reflection member decreases as the distance from the light emitter increases. Game machine A6.

  According to the gaming machine A6, since the reflection unit is configured such that the facing distance between the first reflection member and the second reflection member decreases as the distance from the light emitter increases, the first to nth mirror images are arcuate. The player can visually recognize the three-dimensional decoration arranged on the screen. That is, each of the first to n-th mirror images visually recognized by the player is viewed from the back as the mirror image having a longer reflection path length (that is, a mirror image having a higher number of reflections). 2 By decreasing the distance between the reflecting member and the light emitter, the rate of increase in the length of the reflection path can be reduced with an increase in the number of reflections. The more the image is located farther from the body, the smaller the degree to which it can be seen on the back side. As a result, the player can visually recognize the state in which the first to nth mirror images are arranged in an arc shape.

  In any one of the gaming machines A1 to A6, either the first reflecting member or the second reflecting member, or both the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member are bent toward the inner surface side or the outer surface side. And the distance from the light emitter of the bent portion is longer than the shortest distance of the cumulative distance of the light path emitted from the light emitter and reaching the inner surface of the first reflecting member, and The gaming machine A7 is configured to be shorter than the longest accumulated distance of the optical path.

  According to the gaming machine A7, either the first reflecting member or the second reflecting member, or both the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member are bent toward the inner surface side or the outer surface side. Therefore, the facing distance between the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member can be changed with the bent portion as a boundary. In addition, the distance from the light emitter of the bent portion in each reflection member is longer than the shortest distance of the cumulative optical path of the light emitted from the light emitter and reaching the inner surface of the first reflective member, and the cumulative distance of the optical path Since it is configured to be shorter than the longest distance, it is possible to change the degree to which the mirror image of the light reflected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member is visible on the inner side with the bent portion as a boundary. By changing the three-dimensional decoration of the mirror image, the visual interest that the player feels can be enhanced.

A gaming machine A8, which is formed in a circular arc shape.

  According to the gaming machine A8, either the first reflecting member or the second reflecting member, or both the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member are formed in an arc shape that curves toward the inner surface side or the outer surface side. Therefore, the facing distance between the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member can be changed according to the degree of curvature. Therefore, the degree of the mirror image of the light projected on the inner surface of the first reflecting member can be changed in accordance with the degree of curvature of each reflecting member, and as a result, the three-dimensional images of the first to n-th mirror images can be changed. The decoration can be changed to enhance the visual interest of the player.

  In any one of the gaming machines A1 to A8, a pair of the reflection units are provided, and the pair of reflection units are disposed symmetrically with the side on which the light emitter is disposed and the opposite side facing each other. A gaming machine A9 characterized by that.

(Accumulated distance of the optical path from the light emitter to the inner surface of the first reflecting member) varies depending on the number of reflections (the mirror image with a larger number of reflections has a longer reflection path). .

  This allows the player to visually recognize each mirror image behind the actual position (the inner surface of the first reflecting member). In this case, the number of reflections is small and the length of the reflection path is small. The degree that a mirror image with a larger number of reflections and a longer reflection path length (that is, a mirror image at a position away from the light emitter) is visible to the back side than a short mirror image (that is, a mirror image at a position close to the light emitter). Therefore, the visual effect that the player feels can be enhanced by making the decoration effect of the light emitter a three-dimensional thing with perspective.

  Further, since the reflection unit is disposed so as to face the display surface of the display device, the player can visually recognize the mirror image of the light that is made to appear by the reflection unit in a state of being superimposed on the display surface of the display device.

  Furthermore, according to the gaming machine B1, the light emitter is caused to emit light in a plurality of types, so that mirror images of a plurality of types of light respectively corresponding to the plurality of types of display on the display surface of the display device can be displayed. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the impression given to the player by each of the first to nth mirror images by giving a sense of unity between the mirror image of the light displayed by the reflection unit and the display mode on the display surface of the display device. .

  In the gaming machine B1, the reflection unit can be recognized as corresponding to the plurality of types of symbols variably displayed on the display surface of the display device by causing the light emitter to emit light in a plurality of types. The gaming machine B2 is configured to be capable of displaying a plurality of types of mirror images of light.

  According to the gaming machine B2, a plurality of reflection units can be recognized as corresponding to a plurality of types of symbols variably displayed on the display surface of the display device by causing the light emitter to emit light in a plurality of types. Since the mirror image of the kind of light can be displayed, the mirror image of the light displayed by the reflection unit and the design variably displayed on the display surface of the display device have a sense of unity, and the first to first Each mirror image of n can increase the impression given to the player.

  In the gaming machine B2, the reflection unit is configured to detect the inner surface of the first reflection member or the first reflection light by light that firstly reaches the inner surface of the first reflection member or the inner surface of the second reflection member after being emitted from the light emitter. (2) A gaming machine B3, comprising a restricting means for restricting a mirror image of the light of the light emitter from being projected on any one of the inner surfaces of the reflecting members.

  According to the gaming machine B3, the reflection unit is configured such that after the light is emitted from the light emitter and first reaches the inner surface of the first reflection member or the second reflection member, the inner surface of the first reflection member or the second reflection member Since there is a limiting means for restricting the mirror image of the light of the illuminant from being projected on either one of the inner surfaces, the illuminant projected on either the inner surface of the first reflecting member or the inner surface of the second reflecting member Only a mirror image of light can appear. As a result, even if the mirror image of the light of the illuminant is asymmetrical, only the mirror image that is visually recognized in the same manner as the pattern that is variably displayed on the display surface of the display device can be displayed. By giving a sense of unity between the mirror image of the light that is displayed by the unit and the pattern that is variably displayed on the display surface of the display device, the impression given to the player by each of the first to nth mirror images can be enhanced.

  In the gaming machine B2 or B3, the reflection unit includes a shielding member that is disposed opposite to the light emitter on either side of the first reflection member or the second reflection member and shields light from the light emitter. A gaming machine B4 characterized by

  According to the gaming machine B4, the reflection unit includes the shielding member that is disposed to face the light emitter on either side of the first reflection member or the second reflection member and shields the light from the light emitter. A light-emitting body that shields light emitted from the body and travels toward one of the first reflecting member and the second reflecting member, and is reflected on the other of the inner surface of the first reflecting member and the inner surface of the second reflecting member. Only a mirror image of light can appear. As a result, even if the mirror image of the light of the illuminant is asymmetrical, only the mirror image that is visually recognized in the same manner as the pattern that is variably displayed on the display surface of the display device can be displayed. By giving a sense of unity between the mirror image of the light that is displayed by the unit and the pattern that is variably displayed on the display surface of the display device, the impression given to the player by each of the first to nth mirror images can be enhanced.
