  Hereinafter, the configuration of the effect members included in the gaming machine 1 and the drive device for operating them will be described with reference to the drawings. The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a first effect member 10, a second effect member 20, and a third effect member 30 that are movable within a predetermined range. These effect members and driving devices are attached to a center base 95 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) provided behind the game board 92. Further, as will be described later, these effect members can be located at positions that overlap the display screen of the display device 93 at least in the front-rear direction, and when they are located at the positions, a game is played through an opening 921 formed in the game board 92. Visible to the person. In the present embodiment, these three effect members are gathered together at a position that is visible to the player, thereby forming an integrated form (see FIG. 7) from the face (head) to the neck of the “horse”. (This form corresponds to the “integrated presentation form” in the present invention).

  The first effect member 10 shown in FIGS. 4, 7, 9, and the like is a portion that constitutes the upper face of the “horse”. The front surface of the first effect member 10 is a decorative portion in which the form of the upper face of the “horse” is formed. The first effect member 10 is a substantially arch-like plate-like body when viewed in cross section, and has a predetermined rear side of a portion (a portion constituting the “horse” face) along the substantially planar direction located on the most front side. There is a third effect member accommodation space 13 that is a space of a size. The third effect member accommodation space 13 is a space whose lower side is opened when the first effect member 10 is located at the original position (described later).

  The first effect member 10 is rotatably supported by a first effect member support shaft 11 (see FIG. 4) attached to the center base 95, and is moved to the original position by the power of the first drive source 41 that is a motor. It is possible to move between the production positions. As will be described later, the first drive source 41 is a common drive source for operating the first effect member 10 and the third effect member 30. When the power of the first drive source 41 is output to the first effect member 10 by a power transmission mechanism (not shown), the first effect member 10 rotates about the first effect member support shaft 11. Specifically, it moves between an original position (see FIG. 4) located along the upper wall of the center base 95 and an effect position (see FIG. 7) overlapping the display screen of the display device 93 in the front-rear direction. The first effect member 10 located at the original position is covered by a portion above the position where the opening 921 is formed in the game board 92, and is difficult for the player to visually recognize. The first effect member 10 located at the effect position becomes visible to the player through the opening 921 in the game board 92.

  The second effect member 20 shown in FIGS. 4, 6, 7, 10 to 12, etc. is a portion constituting the lower part of the face (the lower jaw) and the neck of the “horse”, and the first decorative body constituting the lower part of the face 21, a second decorative body 22 that forms the lower side of the neck, and a third decorative body 23 that forms the upper side of the neck. The front surface of each decorative body (the front surface of the second effect member 20) is a decorative portion in which the shape of the lower face and neck of the “horse” is formed.

  The upper end of the first decorative body 21 of the second effect member 20 is rotatably supported by a first decorative body support shaft 24 (see FIG. 11) attached to the center base 95. The engaging portion 221 provided at the lower end of the second decorative body 22 is slidably engaged with a slide rail 26 (see FIG. 3) attached to the center base 95. Since the slide rail 26 is provided along the up-down direction, the engaging portion 221 of the second decorative body 22 slides along the up-down direction. The upper end of the second decorative body 22 is rotatably connected to a predetermined portion on the lower end side of the first decorative body 21 via a connecting shaft 25 (see FIG. 11). When the power of the second drive source 42 that is a motor is output to the first decorative body 21 of the second effect member 20 by a power transmission mechanism (not shown), the first decorative body 21 is centered on the first decorative body support shaft 24. Rotate. Since the upper end of the second decorative body 22 is rotatably connected to the first decorative body 21, when the first decorative body 21 rotates, the second decorative body 22 moves accordingly. Specifically, when the second effect member 20 moves from the original position toward the effect position, the upper end is pulled by the first decorative body 21 while the engaging portion 221 of the second decorative body 22 slides upward. To move toward the center of the display screen.

  The third decorative body 23 is rotatably connected to the first decorative body 21 at a location on the upper end side of the first decorative body 21 where the second decorative body 22 is connected. In addition, a driven gear 252 that meshes with a drive gear 251 fixed to the connecting shaft 25 is provided. When the second effect member 20 moves from the original position toward the effect position, the position of the connecting shaft 25 to which the drive gear 251 is fixed changes as the first decorative body 21 rotates. Accordingly, the driven gear 252 that meshes with the drive gear 251 rotates, and the third decorative body 23 rotates.

  Looking at the entire second rendering member 20, the first decorative body 21, the second decorative body 22, and the third decorative body 23 are positioned along the right wall of the center base 95 in the original position (see FIG. 4). The game board 92 is covered by a portion on the right side of the position where the opening 921 is formed. When the power of the second drive source 42 is output to the first decorative body 21 of the second effect member 20, the lower end of the first decorative body 21 moves toward the center of the display screen and is pulled by the second decorative body 21. The upper end of the decorative body 22 also moves toward the center of the display screen. The third decorative body 23 connected to the first decorative body 21 also moves toward the center of the display screen. With this operation, since the driven gear 252 rotates, the third decorative body 23 rotates. That is, the third decorative body 23 moves toward the center of the display area while changing its posture (see FIGS. 6 and 7).

  5 to 8, FIGS. 13 to 17, and the like have a main body portion 31, a displacement portion 32 attached to the main body portion 31, and a pressed portion 33 that is also attached to the main body portion 31. . Thus, since the 3rd production member 30 is comprised from the main-body part 31, the displacement part 32 attached to this main-body part 31, and the to-be-pressed part 33, a displacement part is accompanied with the main-body part 31 moving. 32 and the pressed part 33 also move.

  The main body 31 moves between the original position and the effect position by the power of the first drive source 41. Further, the displacement portion 32 is attached to one surface 311 side of the main body portion 31, and a decoration portion 312 with a “whip” decoration is formed on the other surface side of the main body portion 31. The main body 31 is rotated by a third drive source 43, which is a motor, with an axis along the longitudinal direction as a rotation center axis. Accordingly, the one surface 311 provided with the displacement portion 32 can be in a state facing the player side (front) (hereinafter, this state may be referred to as a second posture), and the decoration portion It is also possible to adopt a state where the other surface provided with 312 faces the player side (hereinafter, this state may also be referred to as a first posture). That is, the main body 31 (third effect member 30) can move between the original position and the effect position, and can also change its posture (surface facing the player side).

  Specifically, the main body 31 is rotatably supported by the center base 95 via the base member 36 and the third drive source 43 supported thereby. When the power of the first drive source 41 is transmitted to the third effect member 30 by a power transmission mechanism (not shown), the base member 36 rotates around the position supported by the center base 95 as a rotation center. In the original position, it is located in the third effect member housing space 13 that is inside the first effect member 10 (see FIGS. 4 and 9), and the position where the opening 921 in the game board 92 is formed together with the first effect member 10. It is covered by the upper part. At the effect position, the third effect member 30 overlaps the display screen of the display device 93 in the front-rear direction. In the present embodiment, the main body portion 31 is in the first posture when the third effect member 30 is located at the original position, and the main body portion 31 is in the first posture or the second posture when located in the effect position. In other words, the first position is moved between the original position and the production position, and the third drive source 43 is driven in a state of being located at the production position (the “horse production” or “whip production” described later). )), The posture of the main body 31 is changed to the first posture or the second posture.

  The main body 31 of the third effect member 30 is provided with a light source 313 that emits light from one surface 311 on which the displacement portion 32 is provided. Specifically, in the case constituting the outline of the main body 31, at least a portion constituting the one surface 311 is formed of a light transmissive material and faces the surface formed of the light transmissive material. A plurality of light sources 313 (for example, LED light sources) having a light emitting surface to be provided are provided.

  The displacement part 32 attached to the main body part 31 includes an elongated first displacement effect body 321 and a second displacement effect body 322. When an integrated effect form described later is formed, the first displacement effect body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322 constitute a part of a form such as a “headline” fixed to a horse. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixed effect body 35 which comprises a form like a "headline" with the 1st displacement effect body 321 and the 2nd displacement effect body 322 is being fixed along the longitudinal direction of the main-body part 31. .

  As shown in FIG. 16, a first displacement effect body support shaft 323 that is rotatably supported by the main body 31 on one end side of the first displacement effect body 321 and one end side of the second displacement effect body 322, respectively. And the 2nd displacement effect body support shaft 324 is provided. The first displacement effect body support shaft 323 and the second displacement effect body support shaft 324 are provided side by side (close to each other). A first gear 3231 that rotates integrally with the first displacement effect body support shaft 323 is fixed to the tip of the first displacement effect body support shaft 323. Similarly, a second gear 3241 that rotates integrally with the second displacement effect body support shaft 324 is fixed to the tip of the second displacement effect body support shaft 324. The first gear 3231 and the second gear 3241 are meshed with each other inside a case that constitutes the outline of the main body 31.

  The pressed portion 33 is provided on the opposite side of the first displacement effector support shaft 323 to the side on which the first gear 3231 is fixed. That is, when a force acts on the pressed portion 33 and the first displacement effect body support shaft 323 rotates, the first displacement effect body 321 having the first displacement effect body support shaft 323 rotates. When the first displacement effector 321 and the second displacement effector 322 are in their original positions, a protrusion 3242 provided on the second gear 3241 on a stopper (not shown) provided inside the case constituting the outline of the main body 31. Are in contact. That is, the rotation of the second gear 3241 in one direction is prevented and the rotation in the other direction is allowed. Therefore, when the second displacement effector support shaft 324 to which the second gear 3241 is fixed and the first displacement effector support shaft 323 to which the first gear 3231 meshing with the second gear 3241 is fixed are located at the original positions, It can rotate in a predetermined direction (a direction in which rotation is allowed, which is the opposite direction to the direction in which the rotation is prevented by the action of the protrusion 3242). That is, when the pressed portion 33 provided on the first displacement effect body support shaft 323 is pressed in the rotatable direction at the original position, the first displacement effect body support shaft 323 rotates.

  The displacement part 32 is from the state (state shown in FIG. 13) in which the other end side (opposite side supported by the main body part 31) of the first displacement effect body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322 is closest to each other. The first displacement effect body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322 can be displaced to a state where the other end sides are farthest from each other (state shown in FIG. 14). An urging member 34 that is a torsion coil spring is provided outside the second displacement effect body support shaft 324 that is rotatably supported by the main body 31. This urging member 34 urges both displacement effect bodies in the direction in which the other end sides of the first displacement effect body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322 are closest to each other. As will be described later, as long as the pressed portion 33 is pressed by the first effect member 10 and the first displacement effect body support shaft 323 and the second displacement effect body support shaft 324 do not rotate, The other end sides of the one displacement effector 321 and the second displacement effector 322 are in a state of being closest to each other.

  When the other end sides of the first displacement effect body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322 are closest to each other, the elongated first displacement effect body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322 are positioned so as to overlap in the front-rear direction. Therefore, when in this state (original position), both displacement effectors are located inside the outer edge 314 of the main body 31.

  An effect in which an “integrated effect form” is formed by the first effect member 10, the second effect member 20, and the third effect member 30 having the above configuration (hereinafter, the effect is also referred to as a “horse effect”). ) And the effect by the third effect member 30 (hereinafter, the effect may be referred to as “the whip effect”) will be described in detail below, although partially overlapping with the above description.

  The “horse production” will be described. When it is determined that the horse effect is to be executed by the effect determining means (control board (not shown)) provided in the gaming machine 1, the first drive source 41 is driven (normally rotated) when the execution stage is reached. The first drive source 41 is a drive source for the first effect member 10 and the third effect member 30, but when the first drive source 41 is driven in a state where each effect member is located at the original position, the power Is first output to the third effect member 30. Thereby, the third effect member 30 moves from the original position toward the effect member. The main body portion 31 of the third effect member 30 located at the original position is in the first posture with the decoration portion 312 facing forward. And the 1st displacement effect body 321 and the 2nd displacement effect body 322 are located inside the outer edge 314 of the main-body part 31 in a 1st attitude | position, and are in the state hidden in the main-body part 31 (decoration part 312). In this state, the third effect member 30 moves from the original position toward the effect position. After the third effect member 30 reaches the effect position, the third drive source 43 is driven. Thereby, the main-body part 31 changes from a 1st attitude | position to a 2nd attitude | position. That is, the side where the displacement portion 32 is provided is in a state shown in FIG. The posture change may be performed while moving the third effect member 30 from the original position to the effect position. That is, the third effect member 30 may be positioned at the effect position while the main body 31 is in the second attitude, and the order of movement and attitude change can be changed as appropriate.

  On the other hand, the second drive source 42 is driven so that the second effect member 20 reaches the effect position after the third effect member 30 in the second posture is located at the effect position. As shown in FIG. 6, the second effect member 20 that has reached the effect position is in contact with the third effect member 30 that is already located at the effect position (the second effect member 20 and the third effect). The members 30 are closely lined up). Specifically, at least a part of the one surface 311 provided with the displacement portion 32 in the third effect member 30 (a portion below the fixed effect body 35) is the first decorative body of the second effect member 20. 21, and the edge 211 of the first decorative body 21 is in contact with or close to the fixed effect body 35 fixed to the main body 31. The edge 211 of the first decorative body 21 and the fixed effect body 35 are positioned substantially in parallel.

  The power of the first drive source 41 is output to the first effect member 10 after the third effect member 30 reaches the effect position or during movement. That is, when the first drive source 41 is driven so as to move toward the effect position while each effect member is located at the original position (the normal rotation), the power is first output to the third effect member 30. Then, after the third effect member 30 reaches the effect position or during movement, the power transmission mechanism is constructed so as to be output to the first effect member 10. As shown in FIG. 7, the first effect member 10 that has moved from the original position and reached the effect position is in contact with the third effect member 30 that is already located at the effect position or is provided (first effect). The member 10 and the third effect member 30 are arranged close to each other). Specifically, a state in which at least a part (a portion above the fixed effect body 35) of the one surface 311 provided with the displacement portion 32 in the third effect member 30 is covered with the first effect member 10; In addition, the edge 12 of the first effect member 10 is in contact with or close to the fixed effect body 35 fixed to the main body 31. If it will be in the said state, the form from the face (head) of a "horse" to a neck will be formed by the 1st effect member 10 located in the one side of the fixed effect body 35, and the 2nd effect member 20 located in the other side. .

  Further, when the first effect member 10 approaches the third effect member 30 in this way, the pressed portion 33 provided on the third effect member 30 is pressed by the first effect member 10 and rotates. When the pressed portion 33 is pressed, the second effect member 20 is already in contact with or attached to the third effect member 30. Thereby, the displacement part 32 provided in the 3rd effect member 30 displaces from an original position to an effect position (effect attitude). Specifically, the first displacement effect body 321 is displaced so that the other end side faces the first effect member 10 side, and the second displacement effect body 322 is displaced so that the other end side faces the second effect member 20 side. . That is, the other end sides of the first displacement effect body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322 are displaced to the most distant from each other. Accordingly, the first effect member 10 and the second effect member 321 and the second displacement effector 322 are displaced by the fixed effect body 35 positioned between the first effect member 10 and the second effect member 20 and the second displacement effect body 322. A “headline” fixed to the “horse” formed by the effect member 20 is formed. That is, the “first effect form” is formed by the first effect member 10, the second effect member 20, and the third effect member 30. At this time (when changing from the state shown in FIG. 6 to the state shown in FIG. 7), the second effect member 20 that has previously contacted or coexisted with the third effect member 30 acts as a base. That is, the third effect member 30 having the pressed portion 33 is suppressed from being pushed too much by the first effect member 10, and the operation of each effect member when the “horse” accessory is formed is stabilized. It becomes possible.

  In the present embodiment, after the integrated effect form is formed, the light source 313 provided in the main body 31 is caused to emit light, and light is emitted from one surface 311 of the main body 31. When the integrated effect form is formed, most of the one surface 311 of the main body 31 (the place other than the place covered with the fixed effect body 35 in this embodiment) is the first effect member 10 and the second effect. The member 20 is covered. Therefore, the first effect member 10 and the second effect member 20 are illuminated from behind by the light emitted from the one surface 311. As described above, in the present embodiment, the displacement unit 32 (the first displacement effect body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322) and the third effect member 30 substantially contribute to the formation of the integrated effect form. Although it is the fixed production | presentation body 35, since most of the main-body part 31 is covered with the 1st production member 10 and the 2nd production member 20, it contributes little, but the 1st production member 10 and the 2nd production member 20 are included. Since it has a light emitting function that illuminates from the rear, it functions as an element that enhances the effect when an integrated effect form is formed.

  “Whipping” will be described. When it is determined that the horse effect is to be executed by the effect determining means (control board (not shown)) provided in the gaming machine 1, the first drive source 41 is driven (normally rotated) when the execution stage is reached. Then, the power of the first drive source 41 is output to the third effect member 30, and the third effect member 30 moves between the original position and the effect position in the first posture. Since the third effect member 30 moves toward the effect position in a state where the decoration part 312 decorated with the “whip” is directed forward, the moment when the effect position is reached (the state shown in FIG. 8 is reached). By displaying an image of something being played on the display screen around the “whip” at the moment), it is possible to provide an impression as if the whip had been struck.

  In this way, the “whipping effect” is a movement between the original position and the effect position with the third effect member 30 in the first posture. The displacement portion 32 (the first displacement effect body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322) provided in the third effect member 30 is located at the original position by the biasing member 34. That is, the first displacement effect body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322 located at the original position are located on the inner side of the outer edge 314 of the main body 31. Therefore, in the “whipping effect”, the main body part 31 moves from the original position to the effect position with the decoration part 312 facing forward, so the first displacement effector 321 covered by the main body part 31 (decoration part 312). And the 2nd displacement effect body 322 cannot be visually recognized. In addition, since the fixed production | presentation body 35 is located in the inner side rather than the outer edge 314 of the main-body part 31, it cannot visually recognize. In other words, the first displacement effector 321 and the second displacement effector 322 do not get in the way of producing the “whip”.

  As described above, the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment uses the third effect member 30 that is a “whip” accessory used for the “whip effect” also for the “horse effect”. When the third effect member 30 is used for the “horse effect”, the first displacement effector 321 and the second displacement effector with the one surface 311 of the main body 31 facing forward (in the second posture state). 322 is configured to form a predetermined effect form (headline). On the other hand, when the third effect member 30 is used for the “whipping effect”, the other face (decoration part 312) of the main body 31 is directed forward (in the state of the first posture), and the “whipping” is produced. The first displacement effector 321 and the second displacement effector 322 that are obstructive are hidden behind the main body 31 so that they cannot be seen.

  According to the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment described above, the following operational effects are exhibited.

  When the “horse effect” is executed, the first effect member 10 contacts or is in contact with the third effect member 30 after the second effect member 20 is in contact with or is in contact with the third effect member 30. When the first effect member 10 presses the pressed portion 33 in the pressable direction, the displacement part 32 is displaced from the original position to the effect position, and the “horse” role that is an integrated effect form is formed. In other words, since the first effect member 10 heading for the effect position moves the displacement portion 32 of the third effect member 30 from the original position to the effect position, the “horse” accessory is formed. It is possible to improve the production effect by various production forms.

  Then, when the pressed portion 33 is pressed by the first effect member 10, the displacement portion 32 is displaced from the original position to the effect position. In that case (from the state shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 7). When changing to a state), the second effect member 20 that has previously contacted or coexisted with the third effect member 30 acts as a base. That is, the third effect member 30 having the pressed portion 33 is suppressed from being pushed too much by the first effect member 10, and the operation of each effect member when the “horse” accessory is formed is stabilized. It becomes possible.

  In addition, on the opposite side of the main body 31 of the third effect member 30 from the side on which the displacement part 32 is provided, a decoration part 312 that constitutes a “whip” character is provided. That is, the third effect member 30 that is one effect member can be an effect member that is used for each of the two effects of “horse effect” and different “whee effect”.

  Then, the other end side of the first displacement effect body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322 is closest to each other at the original position, and both displacement effect bodies are configured to be located inside the outer edge 314 of the main body 31. Therefore, it is easy for the player to make the first displacement effector 321 and the second displacement effector 322 invisible during the “whipping effect” (the first displacement effect that becomes an obstacle in forming the “whipping”). The body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322 can be concealed by the “whipping” role itself).

  Further, at the time of “horse effect”, at least a part of one surface 311 of the main body portion 31 of the third effect member 30 is covered by the first effect member 10 and the second effect member 20, In addition, the first effect member 10, the second effect member 20, and the third effect member 30 are formed by the displacement portion 32. Specifically, the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment uses the main body portion 31 of the third effect member 30, which is difficult to use for the “horse”, because it is used for the “whipping effect”. Sometimes the first stage member 10 and the second stage member 20 are concealed, and the displacement part 32 supported by the main body 31 is skillfully used to form a “horse” role (which constitutes a “whisker” role) This is excellent in that the main body 31 is skillfully used as a support member for the displacement portion 32.

  Furthermore, the form of “horse” is constructed in the main body 31 where at least a part of one surface 311 is hidden by the first effect member 10 and the second effect member 20 when the “horse” character is formed. By illuminating the first effect member 10 and the second effect member 20, it is also possible to have a light emitting function that enhances the effect.

  Thus, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the main body portion 31 of the third effect member 30 is configured to 1) constitute a “whip” accessory and 2) form a “horse” accessory. 3) Supporting the body 321 and the second displacement effect body 322, and 3) an element that exhibits three functions of irradiating light for enhancing the effect of the “horse effect”.

  In addition, both displacement effectors constituting the displacement portion 32 are urged by the urging member 34 in a direction (in the original position) located inside the outer edge 314 of the main body portion 31. That is, when the “horse” combination is not formed, both displacement effect bodies are located at the original position and are located inside the outer edge 314 of the main body 31. Therefore, at the time of the “whipping effect”, the effect can be executed simply by operating the third effect member 30 as it is, so that the control of the effect is easy.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, it has been described that there is one drive source (first drive source 41) for moving the first effect member 10 and the third effect member 30 from the original position to the effect position. It is not limited. For example, it is good also as a structure which provided the drive source which drives each of the 1st effect member 10 and the 3rd effect member 30. After the second effect member 20 is in contact with or side by side with the third effect member 30 in the second posture, each effect member can be operated so that the first effect member 10 is in contact with or in parallel with the third effect member 30. As long as it has a configuration, the type and number of drive sources, the configuration of the power transmission mechanism, etc. may be anything. Moreover, what constitutes an integrated production form is not limited to the “horse” form, but may form another form.

  Moreover, the shape of each effect member etc. can be changed suitably. For example, in the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the second effect member 20 is configured by three decorative bodies, the first decorative body 21, the second decorative body 22, and the third decorative body 23. Similarly to 10, it may be composed of a single decorative body. Moreover, the 1st effect member 10 may be comprised from a some decoration body like the 2nd effect member 20. FIG.

Examples of specific means obtained from the above embodiment will be described below.
In a gaming machine including a first effect member, a second effect member, and a third effect member that are movable within a predetermined range, the third effect member has a main body portion and an original position and an effect with respect to the main body portion. A displacement portion provided so as to be displaceable between positions, and a pressed portion in which the displacement portion is displaced from the original position to the effect position by pressing in a pressable direction. It moves so that it can be visually recognized, and the third effect member is positioned between the first effect member and the second effect member so as to form an integrated effect form. In the production mode, after the second production member is in contact with the third production member, the first production member is in contact with or in addition to the third production member. By pressing the pressing part in the pressable direction Gaming machine whose serial displacement unit is characterized in that it is formed displaced to effect position from the original position (first example).

  In the gaming machine described in the first example, the displacement portion is provided on one surface side of the main body portion of the third effect member, and the integrated effect form is formed on the other surface side. A gaming machine (second example) characterized in that a decoration portion is provided that is visible to a player during another production different from the production.

  In the gaming machine described in the first example or the second example, the displacement portion includes a first displacement effect body and a second displacement effect body in which one end side is pivotally supported on the main body portion, and at the original position. While the other end sides of the first displacement effector and the second displacement effector are closest to each other, the other end sides of the first displacement effector and the second displacement effector are farthest from each other at the effect position. A gaming machine (third example), characterized in that it is configured so as to be in a state in which it has become.

  In the gaming machine described in the third example, the first displacement effector and the second displacement effector are configured to be located inside the outer edge of the main body at the original position. (4th example)

  In the gaming machine according to any one of the first to fourth examples, when the integrated effect form is formed, at least a part of one surface of the main body portion of the third effect member is the first A gaming machine (fifth example) configured to be covered by at least a part of the effect member or the second effect member.

  In the gaming machine according to the fifth example, the third effect member is provided with a light source that emits light from one surface of the main body, and when the integrated effect form is formed, At least a part of one surface of the main body portion of the third effect member is covered with the first effect member and the second effect member, and the first effect member and the second effect member are emitted from the light source. A gaming machine (sixth example) that is configured to be illuminated by light.

  In the gaming machine according to the fourth example, the fifth example quoting the fourth example, or the fifth example quoting the fifth example quoting the fourth example 4, the displacement effector is formed by the urging member. A gaming machine (seventh example), wherein the gaming machine is biased in a direction located inside the outer edge of the main body.

  In the gaming machine described in the first example, after the second effect member contacts or coexists with the third effect member, the first effect member contacts or coexists with the third effect member. By pressing the pressing part in the pressable direction, the displacement part is displaced from the original position to the effect position, and an integrated effect form is formed. That is, when the integrated effect form is formed, the displacement portion of the third effect member located between the first effect member and the second effect member is displaced from the original position to the effect position, and the effect is integrated. Since the configuration is such that the form is formed, it is possible to make the production effect by the integrated production form excellent. Then, when the pressed part is pressed by the first effect member, the displacement part is displaced from the original position to the effect position, and in this case, the second effect previously contacted or attached to the third effect member. The member acts as a foundation. In other words, the third effect member having the pressed part is prevented from being rattled or pushed too much by the impact of the first effect member contacting the pressed part, and an integrated effect form is formed. It is possible to stabilize the operation of each effect member at the time.

  As in the gaming machine described in the second example, if the decoration part is provided on the side opposite to the side where the displacement part is provided in the main body part of the third effect member, the third effect member that is one effect member Can be used as an effect member used for each of the two effects of the effect when the integrated effect form is formed and another effect different from the effect.

  As in the gaming machine described in the third example, if the first displacement effector having the first displacement effector and the second displacement effector each of which is pivotally supported on the main body part, the first displacement effector is at the original position. And the other member of the second displacement effector are in the closest state, and the two members operate at a time so that the other end side of the first displacement effector and the second displacement effector is farthest away at the effect position. It is possible to configure the displacement portion to do so.

  If the displacement part is configured so that the other end sides of the first displacement effector and the second displacement effector are closest to each other at the original position, like the gaming machine described in the fourth example, It becomes easy to comprise so that a 1st displacement effect body and a 2nd displacement effect body may be located inside the outer edge of a main-body part. In other words, at the time of the above-mentioned another effect, it is easy for the player to make the first displacement effector and the second displacement effector invisible, so the effect using the third effect member, which is one effect member. It is possible to widen the width.

  As in the case of the gaming machine described in the fifth example, when an integrated production form is formed, at least a part of one surface of the main body portion of the third production member is covered by the first production member and the second production member. As a result, it is possible to have a configuration in which the integrated effect form is mainly formed by the first effect member, the second effect member, and the displacement portion of the third effect member.

  As in the gaming machine described in the sixth example, a light source that emits light from one surface of the main body is provided, and when an integrated effect form is formed, the first effect member and the second effect member are formed from the light source. If it is made to illuminate with the light radiate | emitted from the light source, not only as a part which supports the displacement part which forms the body part of a 3rd production member but an integrated production form, the light for improving the production effect It can also be used as a portion for irradiating.

  As in the gaming machine described in the seventh example, if the displacement effector is urged by the urging member in a direction (in the original position) located inside the outer edge of the main body, an integrated effect form When the is not formed, the displacement portion (displacement effect body) is located at the original position and is located inside the outer edge of the main body portion. In other words, in a normal time when the integrated effect form is not formed, another effect (effect using the third effect member is different from the effect in which the integrated effect form is formed by operating the third effect member as it is. ) Can be performed.
