The pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly composed of a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a gaming board surface and a gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. The game board 2 is formed with a substantially circular game area surrounded by guide rails. In this game area, a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined hitting ball launching device and driven.

  A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided at predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the game area). Each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B is composed of, for example, 7-segment or dot matrix LEDs (light emitting diodes) and the like. Special symbols (also referred to as “special graphics”), which are a plurality of types of identification information (special identification information) that can be displayed, are variably displayed (variable display). For example, each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B variably displays a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", and the like. To do. Thereafter, the confirmed special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result in the special figure game. The confirmed special symbol may be different from the special symbol displayed during variable display.

  The special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", and the like. For example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns (a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off as appropriate) may be included as a plurality of types of lighting patterns in which the combination of the LED to be turned on and the LED to be turned off in the 7-segment LED is different. What is necessary is just to be preset as a special symbol. Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as "second special symbol". .

  In the vicinity of the center of the game area on the game board 2, a central effect device 1A is provided. Central production device 1 </ b> A includes an image display device 5 and a movable member 51.

  The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. On the screen of the image display device 5, in response to the variable display of the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device 4A and the variable display of the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B in the special symbol game. For example, in a decorative symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display portions such as three, decorative symbols that are a plurality of types of identification information (decorative identification information) that can be identified are variably displayed (variably displayed). This variable display of decorative designs is also included in the variable display game.

  As an example, “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are arranged on the screen of the image display device 5. And in response to the start of one of the changes in the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B in the special symbol game, In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, the variation of decorative symbols (for example, vertical scroll display) is started. Thereafter, when the fixed special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result in the special symbol game, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5 are displayed. Then, the finalized decorative symbol (final stop symbol) that is the variable display result of the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed. Note that the confirmed decorative design may be different from the decorative design displayed during variable display. For example, a decorative pattern other than the scrolled decorative pattern may be a confirmed decorative pattern.

  As described above, on the screen of the image display device 5, the special symbol game (also referred to as the first special symbol game) using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device. Synchronized with a special figure game using the second special figure in 4B (also referred to as a second special figure game), a variable display of a plurality of types of decorative symbols that can be identified by each is performed, and a fixed decoration that is a variable display result The symbol is derived and displayed (or simply referred to as “derivation”).

  On the screen of the image display device 5, a predetermined display area (for example, an area at a position below the screen) is arranged. In this display area, a variable storage display corresponding to a special figure game (a special figure hold storage number) is displayed so as to be able to be specified. The variable display suspension corresponding to the special figure game is such that the game ball enters the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable ball apparatus 6B (for example, It is generated based on the start winning by passing. That is, the start condition (also referred to as “execution condition”) for executing a variable display game such as a special figure game or a variable display of decorative symbols has been established, but a variable display game based on the previously established start condition is being executed. When the start condition that allows the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, the variable display corresponding to the established start condition is suspended. Done. In this embodiment, the on-hold storage display is performed by displaying the same number of symbols (such as circles, hereinafter also referred to as a on-hold display symbol) as the variable display on hold.

  For example, the start condition of the special figure game (first start condition) using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is established by the occurrence of the first start prize where the game ball enters the first start prize opening. If the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure based on the establishment of the first start condition is not established, the first special figure holding memory number is incremented by one (increment) And the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended. In addition, when a second start prize is entered in which a game ball enters the second start prize opening, a special figure game start condition (second start condition) using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is established. If the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure based on the establishment of the second start condition is not satisfied, the second special figure holding memory number is incremented by one (increment) And the execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is suspended. On the other hand, when the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is started, the hold data (holding memory) is digested, the first special figure holding memory number is decremented by 1 (decrement), and the second When the execution of the special figure game using the special figure is started, the hold data (hold memory) is digested, and the second special figure hold memory number is decremented by 1 (decrement).

  The variable special display reserved memory number obtained by adding the first special figure reserved memory number and the second special figure reserved memory number is also referred to as a total reserved memory number. When simply referring to the “number of special figure hold memory”, it usually refers to a concept including any of the first special figure hold memory number, the second special figure hold memory number, and the total hold memory number. It may refer to a concept that includes the first special figure reserved memory number and the second special figure reserved memory number but excludes the total reserved memory number).

  You may make it provide the indicator which displays a special figure reservation memory | storage number with the said display area or instead of a display area. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold display for displaying the number of special figure hold memories in an identifiable manner on the upper part of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. A container 25B is provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the first special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified.

Each of the first hold indicator 25A and the second hold indicator 25B has a number (for example, 4) corresponding to an upper limit value (for example, “4”) in each of the first special figure hold memory number and the second special figure hold memory number, for example. LED). Here, the first special figure reserved memory number and the second special figure reserved memory number are displayed according to the number of lighted LEDs.

  The movable member 51 is a movable accessory and has a square shape when viewed from the player. The movable member 51 is normally hidden behind the casing of the central effect device 1A and the board of the game board 2. For this reason, the player cannot normally visually recognize the movable member 51. The movable member 51 moves upward and advances in front of the image display device 5 (player side) in a predetermined case. When the movable member 51 advances to the front (player side) of the image display device 5, it is visually recognized by the player. The movable member 51 is moved up and down by the drive mechanism 34 of FIG.

  Below the image display device 5, an ordinary winning ball device 6A and an ordinary variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The normal winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area (first starting area) that is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member, for example.

  The normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is an electric tulip-type accessory (ordinary electric accessory) having a pair of movable wing pieces that are changed between a closed state that is a vertical position and an open state that is a tilted position by a solenoid 81 for an ordinary electric accessory. A second starting prize opening.

  As an example, in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the movable wing piece is in the vertical position when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric accessory is in the off state, so that the gaming ball does not enter the second start winning opening. To. On the other hand, in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the movable wing piece is in the tilted position when the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory is in the on state, so that the game ball can enter the second start winning opening. Put it in a state. The normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is normally opened when the solenoid 81 is in the off state, and the game ball can enter the second start winning opening, but from the expanded open state when the solenoid 81 is in the on state. However, it may be configured so that the game ball is difficult to enter. As described above, the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B has the first variable state (easy entry state) such as an open state or an expanded open state in which the game ball can enter the second start winning port, and a closed state in which the game ball cannot enter. It is configured to be able to change to a second variable state (state where entry is difficult (including entry impossible)) such as a state or a normally open state where entry is difficult. The first variable state may be a state in which the game ball can easily enter the second start winning opening as compared with the second variable state.

  The game ball that has entered the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by the first start opening switch 22A. The game ball that has entered the second start winning opening formed in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by the second start opening switch 22B. Based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls (prize game media), and the first special figure holding memory number is predetermined. If it is less than the upper limit value (for example, “4”), the variable display start condition (first start condition) of the first special figure is satisfied. Based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port switch 22B, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the second special figure holding memory number is less than a predetermined upper limit value. Thus, the variable display (second start condition) start condition of the second special figure is established.

  The number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A and the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port switch 22B. May be the same number or different numbers. The pachinko gaming machine 1 may be one that directly pays out game balls that are prize balls, or may be one that gives a score corresponding to the number of game balls that are prize balls.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a large winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 that is used for the large winning opening door, and the large winning winning as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Forming a mouth.

  As an example, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door is in the off state, the big winning opening door closes the big winning opening and the game ball enters the big winning opening (for example, Cannot pass). On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special prize opening door is in the ON state, the special prize opening door opens the big prize opening, so that the game ball can easily enter the special prize opening. Become. In this way, the special winning opening as the specific area changes into an open state in which a game ball can easily enter and is advantageous for the player, and a closed state in which the game ball cannot enter and is disadvantageous for the player. Instead of the closed state where the game ball cannot enter the big prize opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially opened state where the game ball is difficult to enter the big prize opening may be provided.

  The game ball that has entered the big prize opening is detected by, for example, the count switch 23. Based on the detection of game balls by the count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. Thus, when a game ball enters the large winning opening that has been opened in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, for example, when a gaming ball enters another winning opening such as the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening. More prize balls are paid out. Therefore, if the special prize winning ball device 7 is in the open state, the game ball can enter the special prize winning opening, which is a first state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, if the special prize winning device 7 is closed in the special variable prize winning ball device 7, it becomes impossible or difficult to obtain the winning ball by making the gaming ball enter the special prize winning port, and the game is more than the first state. The second state is disadvantageous to the person.

Next, the second lower rail member 365 is attached to the housing member 380, and the second circuit board K20 is attached to the first upper rail member 331. The portion to which the second lower rail member 365 is attached is a portion on the second bottom surface 380B.

  Further, the second slide member 340 is put on the second guide member 350. At this time, the engaging portion 351D is fitted into the slit 344AS. Further, the convex portion 344B is positioned at one end portion of the step surface 335AB (one end portion of the flat portion and located on the rear side). Thereafter, the second upper rail member 361 is fixed to the second lower rail member 365. Accordingly, the convex portion 344B is positioned at one end portion of the guide rail GR2 (the lower end portion, that is, the end portion located on the rear side).

  Thereafter, the third circuit board K30 is attached to the housing member 380, and then the cover member 370 is attached to the housing board 380. Thereby, the rendering device 300 is completed. The second circuit board K20 and the third circuit board K30 may be electrically connected to the rendering device control unit 17 through wiring not shown, particularly via the connector K24 and the connector K25. The wiring may be routed through a through hole provided in the housing member 380, a through hole 335BB in the flange 335B, or the like.

  Next, the operation of the rendering device 300 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the rotation of the stepping motor SM is transmitted to the first guide member 320 via various gears, and the first guide member 320 rotates. Since the slit 312AS of the first slide member 310 and the engaging portion 321D of the first guide member 320 are engaged, the first slide member 310 also rotates as the first guide member 320 rotates. With this rotation, the convex portion 312C of the first slide member 310 is guided by the guide rail GR1 and climbs the step surface 335AB. For this reason, the 1st slide member 310 will advance ahead with rotation (refer to Drawing 22 (A) and (B)). As the first slide member 310 moves forward, the slit 312AS and the engaging portion 321D are substantially displaced in the front-rear direction, and the ratio of the engaging portion 321D entering the slit 312AS decreases. If the stepping motor rotates in the reverse direction, the first slide member 310 moves backward.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the rotation of the stepping motor SM is transmitted to the second guide member 350 via various gears, and the second guide member 350 rotates. Since the slit 344AS of the second slide member 340 and the engaging portion 351D of the second guide member 350 are engaged, the second slide member 340 also rotates as the second guide member 350 rotates. Along with this rotation, the convex portion 344B of the second slide member 340 is guided by the guide rail GR2, and first passes through a flat portion (the second slide member 340 does not advance), and a step surface from a predetermined rotation angle. The slope of 365AB will be climbed (the second slide member 340 moves forward). As a result, the second slide member 340 only rotates first (rotates in a single direction with respect to the first slide member 310), but after that, after rotating to a predetermined rotation angle, the second slide member 340 advances forward with the rotation. (See FIGS. 23A and 23B). As the second slide member 340 moves forward, the slit 344AS and the engaging portion 351D are substantially displaced in the front-rear direction, and the ratio of the engaging portion 351D entering the slit 344AS decreases. If the stepping motor rotates in the reverse direction, the second slide member 340 moves backward. In this embodiment, with the rotation of the stepping motor SM, the first slide member 310 rotates at a larger rotation angle than the second slide member 340 (for example, about twice). (When the first slide member 310 rotates 90 degrees, the second slide member 340 rotates 45 degrees).

  The appearance of the rendering device 300 that performs such an operation will be described. The rendering device has the first slide member 310 and the second slide member in the initial state (the initial position where the first slide member 310 and the second slide member 340 are most retracted). The slide member 340 and the cover member 370 appear to be exposed (see FIGS. 3, 24A, and 25A). Thereafter, during operation, first, the first slide member 310 advances while rotating. The second slide member 340 does not move forward to a predetermined rotation angle and rotates only (the rotation direction is opposite to that of the first slide member 310) (see FIGS. 24B and 25B). Thereafter, both the first slide member 310 and the second slide member 340 move forward while rotating, and finally the first slide member 310 and the second slide member 340 move to the final advanced position (on the guide member). Slide) (see FIGS. 24C and 25C). During the operation of the rendering device 300, the light sources K12 to K13 of the first circuit board K10, the light source K22 of the second circuit board K20, the light source K32 of the third circuit board K30, etc. are turned on, turned off, or blinking. What kind of aspect should emit light should just be set according to the content of production.

  Next, the operation of the rendering device 300 will be further described with reference to FIGS. In the performance operation 300, for example, first, before driving the stepping motor SM, the light sources K12 to K13 of the first circuit board K10, the light source K22 of the second circuit board K20, and the light source K32 of the third circuit board K30 are turned on. Or it blinks (FIG. 26).

  In the state of FIG. 26, the light from the light source K13 is reflected by the inclined surface 313C of the reflecting member 313 located in front of the light source K13 (particularly in the light emission direction) and travels toward the transparent cylindrical portion 312A of the first slide member 310. However, since the cylindrical portion 312A is not substantially exposed and the cylindrical portion 312A overlaps the cylindrical portion 321A of the light-shielding first guide member 320, almost no light is emitted to the outside. The reflecting member 313 is transparent and also guides light from the light source K13. For example, the light from the light source K13 includes light incident on the slope 313C (which may be the rib 313D), and the light is internally reflected by the unevenness 313A, the slope 313C, and the like, and is emitted from the slope 313C and the like. Is done. The emitted light also includes light traveling toward the cylindrical portion 312A, but the cylindrical portion 312A is not substantially exposed, and the cylindrical portion 312A overlaps the cylindrical portion 321A of the first light-shielding guide member 320. These lights are hardly emitted to the outside. Further, since the top portion 313B of the reflecting member 313 faces the light source K12, the reflecting member 313 transmits (guides) light from the light source K12 forward and emits light forward. Since the light emitted forward from the reflecting member 313 passes through the dome 312BA and the convex portion 312BB, the dome 312BA and the convex portion 312BB appear to emit light. Note that the dome 312BA and the convex portion 312BB may appear to emit light by being guided within the reflecting member 313 and emitted from the concave and convex portions 313A and the like.

  In the state of FIG. 26, the light from the light source K22 enters the light guide member 345 located in front of the light source K22 (particularly in the light emission direction) and is guided, and a part of the guided light is The light is emitted toward the transparent cylindrical portion 344A of the two-slide member 340. The light from the light source K22 is, for example, incident and guided through the concave and convex inclined surface 345D of the light guide member 345, but the bottom surface (surface facing backward) of the bellows portion 345B and the bottom surface (surface facing backward) of the standing portion 345C. ) Or the like. The incident light is guided by being internally reflected by the inclined surface 345A, the bellows portion 345B, the concave / convex inclined surface 345D, and the like, and is emitted from the side surfaces of the concave / convex inclined surface 345D and the standing portion 345C. In this way, the light guided by the light guide member 34 is emitted toward the transparent cylindrical portion 344A of the second slide member 340. Further, the light from the light source K22 may be reflected by the uneven slope 345D and travel toward the cylindrical portion 344A. As described above, the light guided to or reflected by the light guide member 345 includes light traveling toward the cylindrical portion 344A, but the cylindrical portion 344A is not exposed, and the cylindrical portion 344A is shielded from light. Since this overlaps with the cylindrical portion 351A of the second guide member 350, the light is not emitted to the outside. The light guided by the light guide member 345 is also emitted forward and passes through the inner ring member 342. As a result, the inner ring member 342 appears to emit light.

  In the state of FIG. 26, the light from the light source K32 is emitted forward and passes through the inner ring member 372. As a result, the inner ring member 372 appears to emit light. Since this light emission is the same in the subsequent state when the light source K32 is lit, description thereof will be omitted below.

  From the state of FIG. 26, the first slide member 310 advances while rotating (FIG. 27). In such a case, the cylindrical portion 312A starts to be exposed. Since the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A does not overlap with the cylindrical portion 321A of the light-shielding first guide member 320, the light reflected by the reflecting member 313 or the light emitted after being guided is transmitted. For this reason, the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A appears to emit light. Similarly to the case of FIG. 26, the dome 312BA and the convex portion 312BB appear to emit light. Since the second slide member 340 rotates but does not move forward, the cylindrical portion 344A is not exposed and light is not yet emitted therefrom. Since the light transmitted through the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A reaches the inner ring member 342 and is reflected or the like, the inner ring member 342 may appear to emit light even if the light source K22 is not turned on (see below). The same applies to the state). Depending on the angle at which the first slide member 310 is viewed, the light sources K12 to K13 and the reflection member 313 may be directly visually recognized, and these may appear to shine through the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A of the first slide member 310. (Light from the light sources K12 to K13 and the reflecting member 313 is emitted through the exposed portion and enters the player's eyes, and the light sources K12 to K13 and the reflecting member 313 appear to shine). This also applies to the following conditions.

  From the state of FIG. 27, the first slide member 310 advances while further rotating (FIG. 28). In such a case, the cylindrical portion 312A is further exposed. The exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A transmits light reflected by the reflecting member 313 or light emitted after being guided. For this reason, the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A also appears to emit light. Similarly to the case of FIG. 26, the dome 312BA and the convex portion 312BB appear to emit light. Although the second slide member 340 rotates but does not advance yet, the cylindrical portion 344A is not exposed and light is not yet emitted therefrom.

  From the state of FIG. 28, the first slide member 310 advances while rotating further (FIG. 29). However, the second slide member 340 also starts moving forward while rotating. In such a case, since the first slide member 310 and the second slide member 340 advance at the same speed, the exposed area of the cylindrical portion 312A does not change. The exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A transmits light reflected by the reflecting member 313 and light emitted after being guided as described above. For this reason, the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A appears to emit light. Similarly to the case of FIG. 26, the dome 312BA and the convex portion 312BB appear to emit light. Since the second slide member 340 moves forward, the cylindrical portion 344A starts to be exposed. Since the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 344A does not overlap the cylindrical portion 351A of the light-shielding second guide member 350, the light from the light guide member 345 (light guided or reflected light) is transmitted through the exposed portion. . For this reason, light is emitted to the outside, and the exposed portion appears to emit light. Depending on the angle at which the second slide member 340 is viewed, the light source K22 and the reflection member 345 may be directly visually recognized, and these may appear to shine through the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 344A of the second slide member 340 (light source). The light from K22 and the reflection member 345 is emitted through the exposed portion and enters the player's eyes, and the light source K22 and the reflection member 345 appear to shine). This also applies to the following conditions. In addition, since the light transmitted through the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 344A reaches the inner ring member 372 and is reflected or the like, the inner ring member 372 may appear to emit light without turning on the light source K32. The same applies to the state).

  From the state of FIG. 29, the first slide member 310 and the second slide member 340 advance further while rotating and reach the final advance position (FIG. 30). In such a case, since the first slide member 310 and the second slide member 340 move forward at the same speed, the exposed area of the cylindrical portion 312A remains the same as described above. The exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A transmits light reflected by the reflecting member 313 and light emitted after being guided as described above. For this reason, the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A also appears to emit light. Similarly to the case of FIG. 26, the dome 312BA and the convex portion 312BB appear to emit light. Since the second slide member 340 is further advanced, the cylindrical portion 344A is further exposed. The exposed portion transmits light from the light guide member 345 (light guided or reflected light). For this reason, light is emitted to the outside, and the exposed portion appears to emit light. Note that since the light transmitted through the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 344A reaches the inner ring member 372 and is reflected or the like, the inner ring member 372 may appear to emit light without turning on the light source K32.

  During the rotation of the first slide member 310, the slope 313C and the rib 313D alternately cross the front of the light source K13. That is, the slope 313C and the rib 313D are alternately opposed to the light source K13. Naturally, the incident mode and the reflection mode of light on the reflecting member 313 differ between the case where the inclined surface 313C and the light source K13 are substantially opposed to the case where the rib 313D and the light source K13 are substantially opposed. For this reason, during the rotation of the first slide member 310, the mode of the light guided by the reflecting member 313 and the mode of the reflected light change with the rotation (the inner surface due to the rotation of the unevenness 313A). The change in the reflection mode may also be affected.) The mode of the light transmitted through the transmission part 312A also changes with the rotation.

  In addition, during rotation of the 2nd slide member 340, the uneven | corrugated inclined surface 345D and the standing part 345C cross the front of the light source K22 alternately. That is, the uneven inclined surface 345D and the standing portions 345C alternately face the light source K22. Naturally, the light incident mode and the reflection mode at the light guide member 345 are different between the case where the uneven inclined surface 345D and the light source K22 face each other and the case where the standing portion 345C and the light source K22 face each other. For this reason, during the rotation of the second slide member 340, the mode of light guided by the light guide member 345 and the mode of reflected light change with the rotation (the bellows part 345B rotates). The change in the aspect of the internal reflection due to the light may also be affected.) The aspect of the light transmitted through the transmission part 344A also changes with the rotation. The bellows part 345B and the light source K22 may be opposed to each other, and the bellows part 345B may rotate on the light source K22 as the second slide member 340 rotates. The shape of the bellows part 345B guides the light. The mode of the light guided by the member 345 and the mode of the reflected light are changed with the rotation of the second slide member 340, and the mode of the light transmitted through the transmission part 344A is also changed to the rotation of the second slide member 340. You may change with it.

  The inner surface of the cylindrical portion 312A of the first slide member 310 abuts on the convex portion 321C of the first guide member 320, and the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 312A slides on the convex portion 321C when the first slide member 310 moves. To do. As described above, the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 312A is in contact with the convex portion 321C, so that the contact area between the first slide member 310 and the first guide member 320 is reduced, and the slide of the first slide member 310 is made smooth. . Since the cylindrical portion 312A of the first slide member 310 and the cylindrical portion 321A of the first guide member 320 are tapered, the first slide member 310 is likely to advance forward. This is the same for the second slide member 340 and the second guide member 350.

  The cylinder formed by combining the cylindrical portion 331A and the cylindrical portion 335A is tapered in the same manner as the cylindrical portion 312A of the first slide member 310 and the cylindrical portion 321A of the first guide member 320. Accordingly, it is possible to guide the movement of the first slide member 310 in the front-rear direction without shaking while keeping the ratio of the protrusion 312C entering the guide groove GM1 constant. The same applies to the second slide member 340, the second upper rail member 361, the second lower rail member 365, and the like.

  In the operation of the rendering device, the rendering device control unit 17 supplies various light sources by supplying signals to the first circuit board K10 to the third circuit board K30 of the rendering device 300 under the control of the actor control CPU 120. It may be performed by turning on or off, or by supplying a drive signal to the stepping motor SM to move the first slide member 310 or the second slide member 340. At this time, the rotation angle of the stepping motor SM (the initial position of the center gear 322) or the like may be detected by a detection signal from the detection element KS.

  With the configuration as described above, the effect control CPU 120 executes various effects by controlling each electrical component via a predetermined board.

  Next, main operations (actions) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment will be described.

  In the main board 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes a predetermined process as a game control main process. When the game control main process is started, the CPU 103 performs the necessary initial setting after setting the interrupt prohibition. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 101 is cleared. The RAM 102 is cleared, for example, when an operation unit for initialization such as a clear switch (not shown) provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is operated when the power is turned on. This operation is performed outside the business hours of the amusement store, for example. Also, register setting of a CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. Thereby, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When the initial setting is completed, an interrupt is permitted and then loop processing is started. In the game control main process, the process for returning the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop (at the time of power interruption due to a power failure or the like) is executed, and then the loop process is started. (For example, when a predetermined data is stored in the RAM 101 when the power is turned on (on) without pressing the clear switch (for example, when power is cut off)).

  When the CPU 103 executing such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 sets the interrupt disabled state and executes a predetermined game control timer interrupt process.

  In the game control timer interrupt process, for example, the CPU 103 performs a switch process, performs a main side error process, performs an information output process, and then performs a game random number update process, a special symbol process process, a normal symbol process process, Processing for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, such as command control processing, is included. At the end of the game control timer interrupt process, the interrupt enabled state is set. As a result, the game control timer interrupt process is executed every time a timer interrupt occurs, that is, every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) which is the supply interval of the interrupt request signal.

  The switch processing is performed by determining whether a detection signal is input from various switches such as the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, and the count switch 23 via the input driver circuit 110. Is a process for determining for each switch whether or not is in an on state (that is, whether or not a game ball has entered or passed). In the switch process, for example, a setting for sending a prize ball number command indicating the number of prize balls corresponding to the switch determined to be in the ON state (first start port switch 22A, second start port switch 22B, count switch 23) is also performed. . The award ball number command is transmitted to the payout control board by command control processing. Upon receiving this command, the payout control board controls the ball payout device and pays out the award balls by the number of prize balls indicated by this command. Execute the process.

  The main-side error process is a process of performing an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and generating a warning if necessary according to the diagnosis result.

  The information output process is a process for outputting data such as jackpot information, start-up information, probability variation information supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example.

  The game random number update process is a process for updating at least a part of a plurality of types of game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software. As an example, the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side include a random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, a random value MR2 for determining the big hit type, and a random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern. It only has to be included. The random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is a random number value used for determining whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or the like in the special figure game is controlled as the big hit game state with “1”. Any of the values of “65535” can be taken. The random number MR2 for determining the big hit type is a random value used to determine the big hit type as “non-probable change” or “probable change” when the variable display result is “big hit”. It can take any value from “100” to “100”. The random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is a random value used to determine the variation pattern in the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol as one of a plurality of variation patterns prepared in advance. It can take any value of “251”.

  In the special symbol process, the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the RAM 102 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the variable display result of the special symbol or the like in the special symbol game is regarded as a big hit. Determination of whether or not to control the game state, determination of variation pattern, control of display operation in the special symbol display device 4 based on the determination result (execution of special game), special variable winning ball device 7 in the big hit gaming state In order to perform the opening / closing operation setting (execution of round game or short-term opening control) of the special prize opening in the predetermined procedure, various processes are selected and executed. A special symbol process is executed every time a timer interrupt occurs, so that a variable display result and a variation pattern are determined, a special game is executed based on the determination, and a big hit gaming state is realized.

  In the normal symbol process, for example, when the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 (for example, when it is determined in the switch process that the gate switch 21 is turned on), the number of holds reaches the upper limit. If there is not, hold storage of the usual game (for example, extract a random value and store it in the RAM 102), or use the hold memory (random number stored in the RAM 102) to determine the variable display result of the usual game. Or, the variation pattern (variation time, etc.) of the regular game is determined, and the normal symbol display 20 is controlled according to the variation pattern to control the display operation (for example, lighting or extinguishing of the segment LED). First, the variable display result of the normal game can be derived and displayed, or when the variable display result is per general map, the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is opened first. Or carried out the process of the state. By executing the normal symbol process process every time the timer interrupt occurs, the execution of the normal game, the first variable state of the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B at the time of the normal game, etc. are realized.

  The command control process is a process of transmitting a control command from the main board 11 to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12. As an example, in special symbol process processing, normal symbol process processing, switch processing, and the like, transmission settings for control commands (such as effect control commands) are performed (for example, storage address values of control commands to be transmitted are stored in the RAM 102). In the command control process, a process for actually transmitting the transmission-set control command to the effect control board 12 or the like is performed. In this transmission process, an effect control INT signal or the like is used, and a control command is transmitted.

  After executing the command control process, after setting the interrupt enabled state, the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

  Next, main operations in the effect control board 12 will be described.

  In the effect control board 12, when the supply of the power supply voltage is received from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute a predetermined effect control main process. When the production control main process is started, the production control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process, clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, and CTC (counter / timer mounted on the production control board 12). Circuit) register setting, etc. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a timer interrupt flag provided in a predetermined area (for example, an effect control flag setting unit) of the RAM 122 is turned on. The timer interrupt flag is set to the ON state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the CTC register setting. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off, the process waits.

  On the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving an effect control command from the main board 11 is generated separately from the timer interrupt that occurs every time a predetermined time elapses. This interruption is generated when, for example, an effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interruption due to the turn-on of the effect control INT signal occurs, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt prohibition, but if a CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state is used, It is desirable to issue a prohibition instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt when the effect control INT signal is turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, a control signal that becomes an effect control command from a predetermined input port that receives a control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 among the input ports included in the I / O 125. Capture. The effect control command captured at this time is stored in an effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 ends the command reception interrupt processing after setting the interrupt permission.

  When the timer interrupt flag is on, the timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off, and in the command analysis process for executing the command analysis process, for example, it is transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11. After reading various control commands stored in the effect control command reception buffer (provided in the RAM 122), settings and control corresponding to the read control commands are performed.

  After executing the command analysis process, the effect control process is executed. In the effect control process, for example, an effect image display operation in the display area of the image display device 5, an effect operation of the effect device 300, an effect operation of the movable member 51, an audio output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, a game effect lamp 9 and With regard to the control contents of the rendering operation using various rendering devices such as lighting operation of the light emitter such as a decoration LED, determination, determination, setting, execution, etc. according to the rendering control command transmitted from the main board 11 are performed. (Thus, various effects are executed.) Subsequent to the effect control process, an effect random number update process is performed, and numerical data indicating the effect random numbers counted by the random counter in the RAM 122 is updated by software as various random values used for effect control. Thereafter, the process returns to the determination of whether or not the timer interrupt flag is on.

  In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 determines the decorative display variable display mode and effect mode based on the variation pattern notified from the main board 11 (notified by the effect control command or the like) (effect). (Determination of control pattern) For example, an effect is executed in an effect process during variable display. It is a flowchart which shows an example of the main process content of the production | presentation process during variable display. In the effect processing during variable display, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the variable display time (special drawing change time) corresponding to the change pattern has elapsed, based on the timer value of the effect control process timer, for example. (Step S551). As an example, in the process of step S551, the timer value of the production control process timer is decremented by 1, and it is determined whether or not the data associated with the process timer determination value that is the same value as the timer value decremented by 1 is an end code. By doing so, it is determined whether the special figure fluctuation time has elapsed.

  When it is not the end code, that is, when the special figure fluctuation time has not elapsed (step S551; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the present is the execution period of the effect using the sub-image display device 51. (Step S552). The execution period of the effect using the sub-image display device 51 may be defined in the effect control pattern. In this embodiment, the effect using the sub-image display device 51 is executed when the reach effect is executed.

  When the current time is the execution period of the effect using the sub-image display device 51 (step S552; No), the effect control CPU 120 executes effect operation control according to the effect control pattern (step S561). After step S561, it is determined whether or not the present time is the period for driving the effect device 300 (step S562). If it is the time period for driving (step S562; Yes), the effect device 300 is driven according to the effect control pattern. Control is performed (step S563). If it is not the drive period after step S563 (step S562; NO), this process ends. By repeatedly executing step S561 and step S563 for each timer interruption, execution of variable display effects (including variable display of decorative symbols, reach effects, effects using the effect device 300, etc.) is realized.

  When the data corresponding to the timer value decremented by 1 in the process of step S551 is an end code, and the special figure variation time has elapsed from the start of the variable display of decorative symbols (also a special figure game) (step S551; Yes) ), It is determined whether or not a symbol confirmation designation command (transmitted at the end of the special game) transmitted from the main board 11 has been received (step S571). At this time, if the symbol confirmation designation command is not received (step S571; No), the variable display effect process is terminated and waits. If the predetermined time has passed without receiving the symbol confirmation designation command after the variable display time has elapsed, the predetermined error processing is performed in response to the failure to receive the symbol confirmation designation command normally. It may be executed.

  If a symbol confirmation designation command is received in step S571 (step S571; Yes), for example, a predetermined display control signal is transmitted to the display control unit 123B, and the display control unit 123B is configured to perform variable display of decorative symbols. A control for deriving and displaying the final stop symbol (determined decorative symbol) (predetermined in the previous process) that becomes the variable display result is performed (step S572). At this time, a timer value corresponding to the hit start designation command reception waiting time is set in the effect control process timer or the like (step S573).

  Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 ends the variable display effect processing.

  In this embodiment, with the advancement of the first slide member 310 and the second slide member 340, the portion that transmits light and exits to the outside (the exposed portion) is changed by the operation of the rendering device 300. Therefore, there is a change in appearance, and the production effect is increasing. Further, since the first slide member 310 and the second slide member 340 rotate, the reflection member 313 and the light guide member 345 also rotate. For this reason, as described above, the slope 313C and the rib 313D of the reflecting member 313 cross the front of the light source K13. In addition, the uneven inclined surface 345D and the standing portion 345C of the light guide member 345 cross the front of the light source K22. Accordingly, the light guide mode and the reflection mode of the reflection member 313 and the light guide member 345 change with the rotation of the first slide member 310 and the second slide member 340 as described above. The light emission mode (light emission mode) at 344A is changed, and the effect is enhanced.

  Even when the first slide member 310 and the second slide member 340 are in the initial position, the dome 312BA and the convex portion 312BB may emit light, so that the appearance is flashy and the production effect is enhanced. Even when the inner ring member 342 and the inner ring member 372 appear to emit light, the appearance is flashy and the effect of production is enhanced.

  In the above-described embodiment, the first slide member 310 is first moved forward, and then the second slide member 340 is moved forward, so that each member moves forward in a plurality of stages, and the effect is set in a plurality of stages. The production effect is increasing. This is particularly because the second slide member 340 is guided by the flat portion of the guide rail GM2 when the first slide member 310 is guided by the inclined guide rail GM1.

  In this embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 that performs the game is configured by the above-described configuration, and the pachinko gaming machine 1 includes a second slide member 340 and a second slide member 340 that is at least partially accommodated. It is displaceable to one position (for example, an initial position) and a second position (for example, a final advance position) that protrudes from the second slide member 340 rather than the first position, and has a reflection member 313 inside. The first slide member 310 and the light sources K12 to K13 that emit light toward the reflecting member 313 are provided.

  The reflecting member 313 reflects the light from the light sources K12 to K13 (particularly, the light source K13), and the light source K12 when the first slide member 310 is at the first position and when it is at the second position. The aspect of the reflected light is varied by changing the distance to K13 (particularly, the light source K13). The first slide member 310 is a portion exposed from the second slide member 340, and includes a cylindrical portion 312A that transmits the light reflected by the reflecting member 313. The cylindrical portion 312A includes the first slide member 310. The exposure ratio is different between the first position and the second position (here, the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A increases as the first slide member 310 moves). Become.

  The cylindrical portion 312 </ b> A may have no exposed portion depending on the position of the first slide member 310, or a certain portion may always be exposed. The expression “exposed” for the cylindrical portion 312A includes both cases, and includes that at least one of the states is exposed.

  The color of the light emitted from the light sources K12 to K13 may be any appropriate color such as red or blue. The light sources K12 to K13 may emit light in multiple colors. For example, the light may be emitted in red, blue, yellow, or the like (in this case, the emission color may be changed depending on the contents of the effect).

  In this embodiment, the reflecting member 313 is a transparent member (a member that transmits light). Therefore, the light from the light source K13 or the like incident from the inclined surface 313C or the rib 313D is projected on the uneven surface 313A or the inclined surface 313C. The light is reflected from the inner surface and guided to the cylindrical portion 313A, and reflected (for example, reflection of light from the light source K13 or the like toward the cylindrical portion 313A on the inclined surface 313C or the rib 313D). However, the reflecting member 313 may be formed so as to reflect only the cylindrical portion 313A by forming the reflecting member 313 on a member that blocks at least light from the light source K13. For example, the inclined surface 313C and the rib 313D of the reflecting member 313 may be metallic (painting or plating), and the light from the light sources K12 to K13 may be totally reflected by the inclined surface 313 and the rib 313D. . Further, the shape of the reflecting member 313 may be changed as appropriate. For example, the rib 313D may not be provided. Further, unevenness may be provided on the slope 313C so as to perform irregular reflection. The reflection member 313 may reflect at least the reflection member 313 as long as the reflected light travels toward the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A.

  In the embodiment described above, the reflecting member 313 moves while rotating so that the distance from the light sources K12 to K13 (particularly, the light source K13) changes. Thus, the mode of light reflected by the reflecting member 313 or the mode of light guided (the mode of light emitted from the exposed portion of the first slide member 310 (light quantity, light distribution, etc.)) is rotated and moved. (The reason is that the reflection region or the incident region of the light reaching the reflection member 313 and the light from the light source in the reflection member 313 changes), and becomes visually flashy (the area of the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A). Has also contributed.), The production effect is improved.

  Note that the reflecting member 313 may move without rotating. Even when the light does not rotate, the light from the light sources K12 to K13 advances toward the end with a certain range. Therefore, if the distance between the reflecting member 313 and the light sources K12 to K13 (particularly, the light source K13) is different, the light is reflected. Since the mode of light reaching the member 313 (the amount of light, the range in which the light reaches, etc.) is different, the mode of reflected or guided light (the amount of light or the distribution of the reflected or guided light, etc.) is also different (first slide member). The mode of light emitted from the exposed portion in 310 (the amount of light, light distribution, etc. is also different). In addition, it does not need to differ to the extent that the player recognizes that the said aspect changed visually that the aspect of the reflected or light-guided light differs, and it does not need to change almost visually. In addition, the direction effect is enhanced when the appearance is changed as in the above embodiment.

  A predetermined pattern may be drawn on the translucent cylindrical portion 312A. This enhances the production effect. The predetermined pattern may have a light shielding property. In this case, a portion other than the pattern of the light-transmitting cylindrical portion 312A is a transmission portion that transmits light.

  According to such a configuration, the size of the portion that emits light (the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 312A) changes, so the light emission mode does not become monotonous (particularly, the light emission mode changes as the light emission area changes). It does not become monotonous), and the production effect can be enhanced.

  Further, in this embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 that performs a game is configured by the above-described configuration, and the pachinko gaming machine 1 has at least one cover member 370 and a housing member 380, and the cover member 370 and the housing member 380. A first position (for example, an initial position) in which the portion is accommodated and a second position (for example, a final advance position, etc.) that protrudes from the cover member 370 and the accommodation member 380 (particularly the cover member 370) from the first position. ) And a second slide member 340 having a light guide member 345 therein, and a light source K22 that emits light toward the light guide member 345.

  The light guide member 345 guides light from the light source K22, and the distance from the light source K22 changes between when the light guide member 345 is at the first position and when the light guide member 345 is at the second position. Thus, the light guide mode of the light from the light source K22 is changed, and the second slide member 340 is a portion exposed from the cover member 370 and the housing member 380 (particularly the cover member 370), and the light guide member 345 guides the light. The cylindrical portion 344A transmits light that has been transmitted, and the cylindrical portion 344A has different exposure ratios when the second slide member 340 is in the first position and in the second position (here, a cylindrical portion 344A). The portion 344 </ b> A has a larger exposed portion as the second slide member 340 moves).

  The cylindrical portion 344 </ b> A may have no exposed portion depending on the position of the second slide member 340, or a certain portion may be always exposed. The expression “exposed” for the cylindrical portion 344A includes both cases, and includes that at least one of the states is exposed.

  The color of the light emitted from the light source K22 may be any appropriate color such as red or blue. The light source K22 may emit light in multiple colors. For example, the light may be emitted in red, blue, yellow, or the like (in this case, the emission color may be changed depending on the contents of the effect). Note that the light emission color of the light source can also be set to an appropriate color (single color or multiple colors) for other light sources such as the light source K32.

  In this embodiment, the light guide member 345 is guided by being internally reflected by the light guide (here, the inclined surface 345A, the bellows portion 345B, the concave and convex inclined surface 345D, etc.), and the concave and convex inclined surface 345D and the standing portion 345C. The light guide member 345 does not reflect to the cylindrical portion 344A and is guided, although it can be reflected (here, reflected by the concave / convex inclined surface 345D). It may be formed to perform only light. For example, the surface facing the light source K22 is a flat surface facing the light source K22 instead of the concave and convex inclined surface 345D, and the light guide member 345 is formed so as to guide all the light from the light source K22 without reflecting it. May be. The light guide member 345 performs at least light guide, and the light guide member 345 may have any shape as long as the light guided toward the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 344A.

  In the above embodiment, the distance between the light guide member 345 and the light source K22 is changed by moving while rotating. And thereby, the mode of light guided by the light guide member 345 or the mode of reflected light (the mode of light emitted from the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 344A of the second slide member 340 (light quantity, light distribution, etc.)) Changes with rotation and movement (because the reflection area or incident area of the light reaching the light guide member 345 and the light from the light source in the light guide member 345 changes), and is visually flashy (cylindrical) This also contributes to the fact that the area of the exposed portion of the portion 344A is changed.) The production effect is improved.

  The light guide member 345 may move without rotating. Even if the light does not rotate, the light from the light source K22 advances toward the end with a certain range. Therefore, if the distance between the light guide member 345 and the light source K22 is different, the mode of the light reaching the light guide member 345 Since the amount of light (the range in which light reaches or the like) is different, the mode of light guided or reflected (the amount of light or the distribution of light guided or reflected, etc.) is also different (light emitted from the exposed portion of the second slide member 340). (The amount of light and the distribution of light are also different). It should be noted that the different modes of light guided or reflected do not have to be different to the extent that the player recognizes that the mode has changed, and it does not have to change substantially. In addition, the direction effect is enhanced when the appearance is changed as in the above embodiment.

  A predetermined pattern may be drawn on the light-transmitting cylindrical portion 344A. This enhances the production effect. The predetermined pattern may have a light shielding property. In this case, a portion other than the pattern of the translucent cylindrical portion 344A is a transmissive portion that transmits light.

  According to such a configuration, the size of the portion that emits light (the exposed portion of the cylindrical portion 344A) changes, so the light emission mode does not become monotonous (particularly, the light emission mode changes as the light emission area changes). It does not become monotonous), and the production effect can be enhanced.

  In addition, with the above configuration, the second slide member 340 emits light by light emitted from the cylindrical portion 312A (in this case, it is reflected, but it may be emitted by guiding light. The light emission may be reflected or guided. The inner ring member 342 is further provided, and the effect of the second slide member 340 can be enhanced by the light emission of the inner ring member 342.

  Further, with the above configuration, the first slide member 310 is exposed when the first slide member 310 is in the first position, and transmits and emits light from the light sources K12 to K13 (particularly, the light source K12). The dome portion 312BA and the convex portion 312BB are further provided, so that a portion that appears to emit light is present even in the initial state, so that even when the first slide member 310 is in the first position, the production effect is enhanced. be able to.

  Further, according to the above configuration, the cover member 370 emits light by the light emitted from the cylindrical portion 344A (in this case, it is reflected, but it may be emitted by guiding light. The light emission may be reflected or guided. It further includes an inner ring member 372 that emits light.) The effect of the cover member 370 can be enhanced by the light emission of the inner ring member 372.

  The reflection member 313 of the first slide member 310 may be a light guide member that guides light from the light source K13 or the like and emits the light toward the cylindrical portion 312A. In addition, the light guide member 345 of the second slide member 340 may be a reflective member that reflects light from the light source K22 or the like toward the cylindrical portion 344A.

  The operation of the rendering device 300 can take various forms. For example, the rendering device 300 may operate immediately before a specific type of super reach (for example, one with a high expectation level for big hits) is started. Further, in the effect device 300, the first slide member 310 and the second slide member 340 advance immediately before the reach effect is executed, and the reach state is maintained during the reach effect (the first slide member 310 and the second slide as appropriate). The slide member 340 may be moved back and forth.), And the effect may be executed by changing the light emission mode (lighting or flashing mode or light emission color) of each light source. Further, the production device 300 may operate when the big hit is confirmed (when the result of the reach production comes out and wins). In addition, after the presentation device 300 informs that it is a hit with a low value (for example, a hit with a small number of balls or a hit that does not change afterwards), the hit is actually a high value (for example, It may operate with a promotion effect that informs that it is a hit with a lot of balls or a hit that becomes probable after that (especially when notifying that it is a high value hit) .) Further, the first slide member 310 and the second slide member 340 are always kept in the advanced state during the period in which the gaming state is advantageous (high accuracy, high accuracy high base, short time, etc.). 310 and the second slide member 340 may be moved back and forth, or the light emitting aspect of the light source may be changed.

  The present invention can be further modified and applied to the above-described embodiments and the like. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 may not have all the technical features shown in the above-described embodiment and the like, and the one described in the above-described embodiment so as to solve at least one problem in the prior art.

The rendering device 300 may function as an operation button or the like. For example, the first slide member 310 may be configured to return to the initial position by an operation, and the operation may be detected when the first slide member 310 returns to the initial position. Further, the production device 300 may cause the first slide member 310 to move back and forth in the front-rear direction and the second slide member 340 back and forth in the front-rear direction during the production. When the rendering device 300 functions as an operation button, the rendering device 300 may be disposed at the position (upper left and right) in the embodiment (one rendering device 300 may be disposed). ), It may be arranged at a position where the player can easily operate (for example, the position of the upper plate or the lower plate).
