If there are three operation detection means 106 and the operation detection setting number of the operation detection sensor 108 is two, when an operation signal is input from only one operation detection sensor 108, the movable body cover 110 When the pressing operation is not determined and an operation signal is input from two or three operation detection sensors 108, the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110 is determined. Note that the movable effect device 100 of the embodiment has two operation detection means 106 and the operation detection setting number of the operation detection sensor 108 is one. Therefore, an operation signal is input from at least one operation detection sensor 108. If there is, it is processed to determine the operation of the movable body cover 110. Thus, in the embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a functions as an operation determination unit.

(Power supply board)

It is set to perform a clear process to initialize. That is, in the embodiment, the power monitoring circuit 83, the power switch 83a, the clear circuit 84, and the clear switch 84a constitute a clear unit. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which clearing means is constituted by the clear circuit 84 and the clear switch 84a, and a clear signal is output from the clear circuit 84 to the main control board 60 when the clear switch 84a is turned on.

(Checking operation detection means)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the power ON signal from the power monitoring circuit 83 and the clear signal from the clear circuit 84 are input to the main control CPU 60a, the main control CPU 60a receives the power ON command and the clear command. Is output to the overall control CPU 65a. The overall control CPU 65a is configured to be able to start the check processing of the operation detection means 106 (operation detection sensor 108) when a power ON command is input. Here, the start condition of the check processing of the operation detection means 106 is only the input of the power ON command. In addition, when the clear signal from the clear circuit 84 is input to the main control CPU 60a, the main control CPU 60a The clear command output from the control CPU 60a may also be used as a start condition for the check process of the operation detection unit 106. Further, in the pachinko machine 10, when the status check setting of the operation detecting means 106 is provided as one item of error check related to the pachinko machine 10, and the power ON command and / or the clear command are input to the overall control CPU 65a, the overall control is performed. The CPU 65a may perform processing for shifting to environment setting and processing for selecting an item for which environment setting is possible.

(Specific flow of operation detection means check processing)
As described above, the overall control board 65 is configured to receive an operation signal from the operation detection sensor 108 by a pressing operation of the movable body cover 110 as an operation means (see FIG. 24). When a power ON command is input from the main control CPU 60a to the overall control CPU 65a, an operation enable command for enabling the operation of the movable body cover 110 for a predetermined period (operation checkable period) is set in the overall control CPU 65a. The As described above, the overall control CPU 65a that sets the operation confirmable period for validating the operation of the movable body cover 110 operates the movable body cover 110 from the time when the power is turned on (the time when the power ON signal is input to the main control CPU 60a). It functions as an operation checkable period setting means for setting an operation checkable period for validating. The overall control CPU 65a confirms the operation by a timer means for counting the clock time of the overall control CPU or a separately provided timer means at a predetermined timing after the power ON command is input from the main control CPU 60a to the overall control CPU 65a. Start timing the possible period. In the embodiment, when the power ON command is input to the overall control CPU 65a, the timer means starts measuring the operation checkable period. At this time, the overall control CPU 65a outputs an operation valid command to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a) at the timing when the power ON command is input from the main control CPU 60a, and the movable body cover is displayed on the symbol display device 17. You may display the time which can confirm the operation of 110, and the prompt to press the movable body cover 110.

  Here, when a power ON signal from the power monitoring circuit 83 is input to the main control CPU 60a, the main control CPU 60a outputs a power ON command to the overall control CPU 65a and performs initial setting such as a predetermined security check. Process. The overall control CPU 65a performs an initial setting process by inputting a power ON command. The time required for the initial setting process is shorter than the time required for the main control CPU 60a for the initial setting process, and the overall control CPU 65a is earlier than the main control CPU 60a. Get up in time. The operation checkable period is set so as to use a time difference between the initial setting process of the overall control CPU 65a and the initial setting process of the main control CPU 60a, and the time until the main control CPU 60a starts up is effectively used for checking the operation detecting means 106. doing.

  When the movable body cover 110 is pressed during the operation confirmation possible period and an operation signal is input from any one of the plurality of operation detection sensors 108 to the overall control board 65, the overall operation determination unit is controlled. The control CPU 65a is configured to determine that the movable body cover 110 has been operated and to output an operation determination command to the lamp control board 72 and / or the device control means 270. When the operation determination command is input, the lamp control board 72 causes the lamp device 18 as the effect execution means disposed in the front frame 13 and the board surface light emitting means (not shown) provided in the game board 20 to emit light. Control as follows. In addition, when an operation determination command is input, the device control unit 270 may perform control so that the decorative light emitting substrate 156, the decorative light emitting substrate 162, and the illumination substrates 228 and 230 as the effect executing unit emit light. That is, in the embodiment, the lamp control board 72 and the device control unit 270 function as an operation confirmation notification execution unit that notifies that the operation detection unit 106 has normally detected an operation. Note that the notification that the operation detection means 106 has detected the operation normally may be by voice from the speaker 19, and in this case, the sound control board 73 becomes the operation confirmation notification execution means, and the symbol display device When the notification is performed by the display at 17, the display control CPU 70a serves as an operation confirmation notification execution unit. Further, notification by the light emitting means of the front frame 13 or the game board 20, notification by the speaker 19, and notification by the symbol display device 17 may be appropriately combined.

  When the timer means counts up the operation confirmable period, the check process of the operation detecting means 106 is terminated by the demo transition command output from the overall control CPU 65a or the operation determination command output from the overall control CPU, and the pachinko machine 10, the pachinko machine 10 is set to shift to the demonstration effect mode on condition that the game detection means for detecting that a game is being performed (game execution state) has not detected the game execution state. As the game detection means of the embodiment, a start winning detection sensor 34, a normal winning detection sensor, and a passing ball detection sensor 48 provided on the surface of the game board 20 are used, and a ball detection signal by these detection sensors 34, 48 is used. By being input to the main control board 60, the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 is set to determine that a game is being performed. The main control CPU 60a starts measuring time by the main timer means at the same time as the ball detection signals from the detection sensors 34 and 48 are input, and the main timer means time the preset demo set time. However, on condition that a new ball detection signal is not input (predetermined condition), the pachinko machine 10 is set to shift to the demonstration effect mode. That is, the main control CPU 60a has a function of a demonstration effect execution control unit that causes the symbol display device 17 to execute a demonstration effect.

(Effects of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described.

(Direction of movable body)
The movable effect device 100 controls the first drive motor 206 to perform forward / reverse drive so that the first movable member 202 rotates 180 degrees with respect to the support body 104 about the first axis L1 of the first rotation support portion. The posture is displaced to the first position and the second position. Then, when the first movable member 202 is rotated by the drive of the first drive motor 206, the first position of the first movable member 202 is detected when the movable position detection unit 217 is detected by the movable position detection sensors 182 and 183. The arrival at the first position or the second position is determined, and the first drive motor 206 is stopped. Further, when the first movable member 202 arrives at the first position or the second position, the holding body 252 provided on the first movable member 202 corresponds to the corresponding holding receiving portion 180 provided on the support body 104, Since the first drive motor 206 is in a stopped state, the first movable member 202 can be appropriately held since it is adsorbed by the magnetic force 181. Thereby, even if the second movable member 204 is rotated or the movable body cover 110 is pressed, it is possible to prevent the first movable member 202 from moving unintentionally. In the movable effect device 100, the second movable member 204 rotates around the second axis L <b> 2 with respect to the first movable member 202 by controlling the driving of the second drive motor 208. When the first movable member 202 is stopped at the first position, the rotating first effect body 210 can be seen, and when the first movable member 202 is stopped at the second position, the first movable member 202 is rotated. The second effect body 212 to be seen can be seen, and with the rotation of the first movable member 202, it is possible to switch to the two types of effect bodies 210 and 212 having different designs. The movable rendering device 100 can also drive the first drive motor 206 and the second drive motor 208 simultaneously or synchronously, thereby rotating the first position between the first position and the second position. The second movable member 204 is rotated with respect to the movable member 202. Then, the movable effect device 100 can cause the first effect body 210 and / or the second effect body 212 to emit light by controlling the light emission of the first illumination board 228 and / or the second illumination board 230. Therefore, diversification of presentation modes by the movable body 200 can be achieved by a combination of complicated operations and light emission effects of the first movable member 202 and the second movable member 204.

  In the pachinko machine 10, the movable body cover 110 that surrounds and protects the movable body 200 of the movable rendering device 100 disposed on the upper ball tray 14 in the front frame 13 is capable of performing a game effect. It is used as a means. Thereby, space can be saved as compared with the case where the operation means and the movable effect device 100 are separately provided on the upper surface of the upper ball tray 14, and it is a place that is easily visible and accessible from the player. It becomes possible to arrange more members and devices by effectively using the upper surface space of the upper ball tray 14 and to enlarge the movable effect device 100. That is, by increasing the size of the movable body 200 of the movable effect device 100, it is possible to increase the impact of the effect due to the operation of the movable body 200. In addition, since the movable body cover 110 surrounding the movable body 200 can also be increased in size, it is easy to perform a pressing operation of the movable body cover 110 and is interested in a pressing operation using the movable body cover 110 as an operating means. It can stir up more and can improve the interest by the operation of a game production. Here, the movable body cover 110 is an indispensable member for protecting the movable body 200. Therefore, the movable body cover 110 is not an additional member, but compared with the case where the operation means and the movable effect device 100 are separately provided. It is also possible to reduce the number of parts.

  In the movable effect device 100, as the movable body 200 is enlarged, the movable body cover 110 covering the movable body 200 is inevitably enlarged, and the diagonal width of the operation surface portion 112 exceeds 10 cm as in the embodiment. It is possible to increase the size of the movable body cover 110, and not only the impact of the movable body 200 but also the impact of the movable body cover 110 as a structure disposed in the front frame 13 is increased, which attracts the player's interest. Can do. Moreover, the movable effect device 100 can also function as navigation means for guiding the operation of the movable body cover 110 as the operation means. For example, the movable body 200 is operated in accordance with the operation timing of the movable body cover 110. The player can be prompted to press the movable body cover 110 by causing the light emitting means 156, 162, 228, 230 to emit light. Thus, by sharing the movable body cover 110 that protects the movable body 200 as an operation means capable of executing a game effect, the movable effect device 100 and the operation means for executing the game effect are adversely affected to each other's functions. Can be suitably arranged on the upper surface of the upper ball tray 14 of the front frame 13.

(About support mechanism)
Since the movable body cover 110 is disposed on the receiving body 134 supported so as to be able to move close to and away from the support body 104 that operably supports the movable body 200, the movable body cover 110 is operated by pressing the movable body cover 110. The operation of the movable body 200 and the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110 can be performed independently without affecting the 200. In addition, a light emitting decoration body 152 is provided between the operation surface portion 112 of the movable body cover 110 and the movable body 200 and is accommodated in the movable body cover 110, but the light emission decoration body 152 is disposed on the support body 104. On the other hand, the movable body cover 110 is disposed on a receiving body 134 that is movably supported by the support body 104, and the light emitting decorative body 152 is not displaced by the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110. The substantially spherical movable body 200 rotates on the spot as a whole around the first axis L1 and the first movable member around the second axis L2 where the second movable member 204 intersects the first axis L1. Since the structure rotates with respect to 202, the outer position of the movable body 200 does not basically change due to the operation. The movable body cover 110 is displaced so that the operation surface portion 112 that surrounds the front, rear, left, and right sides of the movable body 200 with the peripheral wall portion 114 and extends above the movable body 200 approaches the movable body 200 in accordance with the pressing operation. The part 114 moves parallel to the lateral side of the movable body 200 and the operation surface part 112 is separated from the movable body 200 even at the operation position, and does not overlap the operation range of the movable body 200. That is, even when the movable body 200 is operating, the movable body cover 110 can be pressed, and even when the movable body cover 110 is pressed, the movable body 200 is operated. be able to.

(About buffer)
The support body 134 on which the movable body cover 110 is disposed is supported by the support body 104 through the support mechanism 136 so as to be vertically displaceable, and the second support peripheral portion facing the lower surface of the support body 134 in the support body 104. A buffer body 150 made of rubber or the like having low impact resilience is disposed at 129. When the movable body cover 110 is pressed from the normal position, the contact convex portion 134a formed to project downward in a hemispherical shape on the lower surface of the receiving body 134 that is displaced downward is elastically received by the buffer body 150. 134 is restricted in movement. In this way, the receiving body 134 and the support body 104 are not in contact with each other at the hard portions, but the buffer body 150 receives the downward displacement of the receiving body 134 due to the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110. Damage to the body 134 and the support 104 can be avoided. When a part of the movable body cover 110 such as the outer peripheral edge of the operation surface portion 112 is locally pressed, only the portion where the movable body cover 110 is pressed is lowered and tilted. Also in the case of displacement, a set of a plurality of shock absorbers 150 that are dispersedly spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the second support peripheral portion 129 of the support member 104 and the contact protrusions 134 a that are disposed corresponding to the shock absorbers 150. Among them, since the pair corresponding to the part where the receiving body 134 is inclined downward contacts, strong interference between the support body 104 and the receiving body 134 can be prevented. In particular, when the movable body cover 110 becomes larger, the possibility that the movable body cover 110 is pressed so as to be inclined increases. However, the receiving body 134 is received by the buffer body 150 disposed at a position corresponding to the inclined lower portion of the movable body cover 110. Can be received and buffered. Therefore, the shock absorber 150 may cause an adverse effect on the device disposed on the movable body 200 or the front frame 13 due to vibration or the like due to the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110, or the contact between the support body 104 and the receiver 134. It is possible to avoid problems such as interference sound caused by contact.

  Further, in the receiving body 134 in which the displacement path is defined by the engagement between the guide shaft 138 and the shaft portion 140 in the support mechanism 136, the movable body cover 110 is located in the vicinity of the engagement portion between the guide shaft 138 and the shaft portion 140. Even if the receiving body 134 is inclined with the uneven pressing operation, the positional deviation of the abutting convex portion 134a is small. That is, by disposing the buffer body 150 in the vicinity of the engaging portion between the guide shaft 138 and the shaft passing portion 140, even if the movable body cover 110 is pressed to be inclined, the contact convex portion 134 a of the receiving body 134. Can be taken appropriately. When a very strong load is applied to the movable body cover 110, the contact protrusion 134 a of the receiving body 134 is immersed in the buffer 150, and the second surface that forms the lower surface of the receiving body 134 and the upper surface of the supporting body 104. Since the support peripheral edge portion 129 is in surface contact, the load can be received.

(About vibration isolator)
In the movable effect device 100, a vibration isolator 132 made of rubber having low rebound resilience is disposed between a base body 102 installed on the front frame 13 and a support body 104 that supports the movable body 200. . The support body 104 is placed on the vibration isolator 132 disposed on the upper surface of the base peripheral edge 122 of the base body 102, and the load applied from the support body 104, the movable body 200 supported by the support body 104, and the movable body cover 110. Is received by the vibration isolator 150. The support 104 is provided with a vibration generating source such as a movable body 200 that operates with respect to the support 104 and a first drive motor 206 that operates the movable body 200. Vibration is also generated by pressing the movable body cover 110 supported so as to be able to be moved close to and away from each other via the mechanism 136, and the movable body cover 110 also becomes a vibration generation source. As described above, the support body 104 supports many vibration generation sources. However, the vibration isolation body 132 disposed between the support body 104 and the base body 102 can prevent transmission of vibration to the base body 102. The vibration transmission from the movable effect device 100 to the upper ball tray 14 (front frame 13) can be blocked. In particular, by enlarging the movable body cover 110, it becomes easier to apply force to the movable body cover 110, and when the movable body cover 110 is struck strongly, a large load is applied to the support body 104. This large load can be received and buffered by the vibration isolator 132 to prevent transmission of vibration to the front frame 13, as well as the movable body 110 supported by the support body 104 for impact caused by the operation of the movable body cover 110. An adverse effect on the body 200 can be avoided. In other words, the vibration isolator 132 can prevent an influence on devices such as switches, sensors, and movable accessories disposed around the movable effect device 100 in the front frame 13, and the vibration of the movable effect device 100. It is possible to prevent malfunctions of these devices due to. Further, the support mechanism 136 holds the receiving body 134 in a state of being spaced apart upward from the supporting body 104 by an elastic member 144 that surrounds the guide shaft 138 and is interposed between the receiving body 134 and the supporting body 104. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for vibration generated with the operation of the movable body 200 to be transmitted from the support body 104 to the receiver 134, and when the movable body 200 is operated, the movable body disposed on the receiver 134 can be moved. The body cover 110 is not adversely affected.

  The movable body 200 operates so as to rotate about a first axis L1 extending in the left-right direction, and the first movable member 202 at the first position is moved to the second side while the first effect body 210 is directed to the rear side. The effect body 212 is rotated halfway toward the front side and stopped at the second position, and the inertial force directed toward the rear side acts on the support body 104 by the rotation of the movable body 200 at this time. Further, the first movable member 202 at the second position stops at the first position by half rotation so that the second effect body 212 faces the front side and the first effect body 210 faces the rear side. As the body 200 rotates, an inertial force directed toward the front side acts on the support body 104. Here, between the base body 102 and the support body 104, the vibration isolators 132 and 132 are disposed separately in a front inclined lower portion and a rear inclined upper portion sandwiching the first axis L1 in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the backward inertial force accompanying one rotation of the movable body 200 can be buffered by the rear vibration isolator 132, and the forward inertial force accompanying the other rotation of the movable body 200 can be buffered by the front vibration preventing body. It can be buffered by the vibrator 132. As described above, since the vibration isolator 132 is disposed in consideration of the force generated by the operation of the movable body 200, the vibration accompanying the operation of the movable body 200 is transmitted by the front frame 13 or the movable body cover 110. Can be difficult.

(About the light emitting means of the movable effect device)
The movable effect device 100 is disposed above the movable body 200 so as to surround the decorative light emitting substrate 156 that emits the light emitting decoration body 152 accommodated in the movable body cover 110 and the front, rear, left and right of the movable body 200. A decorative light emitting substrate 162 that emits light from the decorative portion 166 accommodated in the movable body cover 110 is provided. As described above, since the movable body cover 110 can be enlarged, not only the movable body 200 but also the light emitting substrates 156 and 162 and the decorative portions 152 and 166 illuminated by the light emitting substrate 156 are provided in the movable body cover 110. The light emitting effect portion can be enlarged by arranging the movable portion cover 110 and the movable body cover 110 can be enlarged. Thus, in the movable effect device 100, there is an impact due to the synergy between the operation of the large movable body 200 and the light emission of the large light-emitting decorative body 152, and a complex effect can be performed. Moreover, the decorative light emitting substrate 156 and the decorative light emitting substrate 162 can also function as navigation means for guiding the operation of the movable body cover 110 as the operation means. For example, in accordance with the operation timing of the movable body cover 110, By causing the decorative light emitting substrate 156 and / or the decorative light emitting substrate 162 to emit light, the player can be prompted to press the movable body cover 110.

(Support structure for luminous decoration)
The light-emitting decorative body 152 is disposed on the upper ends of a plurality of leg portions 154 that are provided on the second support base portion 128 of the support body 104 so as to be spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction and extend upward through the inside of the receiving body 134. It is installed. On the other hand, the movable body cover 110 disposed on the receiving body 134 is supported by the support body 104 via a support mechanism 136 that supports the receiving body 134 so that the receiving body 134 can be moved toward and away from the support body 104. Yes. Thus, the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110 can be performed regardless of the light emitting decoration body 152 without the light emitting decoration body 152 being displaced as the movable body cover 110 or the receiving body 134 is displaced due to the pressing operation. And since the relative position with respect to the support body 104 does not change, the light emission decoration body 152 tends to carry out the wiring from the apparatus relay board | substrate 160 arrange | positioned at the support body 104. FIG. In addition, since the decorative wiring 158 connected to the decorative light emitting substrate 156 is disposed along the leg portion 154 disposed farthest from the player, the decorative light emitting substrate 156 disposed on the light emitting decorative body 152 is disposed. The decorative wiring 158 connected to can be made inconspicuous.

  The support mechanism 136 is configured such that when the movable body cover 110 returns from the operation position to the original position by the urging of the elastic member 144, the locking portion 142 disposed on the guide shaft 138 is hooked on the support body 104. The position of the movable body cover 110 is restricted. Here, since the locking portion 142 is not provided on the guide shaft 138 inserted through the shaft passing portion 140 provided close to the leg portion 154 that supports the light emitting decorative body 152, the locking portion 142 is locked. It is possible to suppress the accompanying vibration from being transmitted to the leg portion 154. Therefore, adverse effects such as vibration of the light emitting decorative body 152 due to vibration generated by the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110 can be avoided. Since the buffer body 150 is disposed in the vicinity of the engagement position between the guide shaft 138 and the shaft passing portion 140, the receiving body 134 is displaced close to the support body 104 in accordance with the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110. At this time, since it is received and buffered by the buffer body 150, it is possible to make it difficult to apply a load such as vibration to the leg portion 154. In this way, the load due to the displacement of the movable body cover 110 with respect to the leg portion 154 can be reduced to prevent the leg portion 154 from being damaged, and the leg portion 154 has a narrow width that is unlikely to obstruct the visual recognition of the movable body 200. Can be set.

  The decorative light emitting board 162 disposed on the second support peripheral edge 129 of the support 104 extends to the inside of the movable body cover 110 on the decorative light emitting board 162 and faces the inside of the receiving body 134. Since the 163 is disposed, the decoration portion 166 disposed inside the movable body cover 110 can be appropriately illuminated without being obstructed by the receiving body 134 that supports the movable body cover 110. That is, the periphery of the movable body 200 housed inside the movable body cover 110 can be suitably decorated with the decorative portion 166 that emits light. In addition, since the decoration socket 164 to which the wiring is connected is disposed at a portion of the decoration light emitting substrate 162 that is biased to the outside of the support 104, the second support peripheral edge where the decoration light emission substrate 162 faces the receiver 134 in the support 104. The portion 129 extends inward and outward, and overlaps with the displacement direction of the receiving body 134. However, since the substrate 134 is provided with a substrate escape recess 134c in accordance with the location of the decorative light emitting substrate 162, interference between the decorative light emitting substrate 162 and the receiver 134 that illuminates the decorative portion 166 is prevented. It can be avoided by the recess 134c. And since the decoration light emission board | substrate 162 is biased to the outer side position away from the movable body 200, and connects wiring, the interference with this wiring and the movable body 200 can be prevented. In particular, the decorative light emitting substrate 162 disposed on the left front side and the decorative light emitting substrate 162 disposed on the rear side have the decorative socket 164 positioned outside the support collar portion 130 of the second support base 128, and thus the support collar portion. 130 becomes a wall separating the wiring connected to the decorative socket 164 and the movable body 200, and the biting of the wiring can be prevented more appropriately.

(About the design of the movable body cover)
The movable body cover 110 covers the upper side of the movable body 200 with an operation surface portion 112 that extends so as to intersect the displacement direction of the movable body cover 110, and the upper surface of the decorative portion 166 that extends above the receiving body 134. The peripheral wall 114 covers the front, rear, left and right sides of the movable body 200 that protrudes upward. As described above, the movable body cover 110 that operably accommodates the movable body 200 is relatively large, so that there is a merit that it is easy for the player to operate. The movable body cover 110 may be strongly hit. Here, on the upper surface of the operation surface portion 112 of the movable body cover 110, an angular design shape that protrudes upward, such as the central convex portion 112a and the convex strip portion 112b, is formed. It is possible to hesitate to hit the ball, and it is possible to prevent the structural members such as the movable body cover 110 from being damaged due to an excessive impact input. In addition, the design shape formed so as to be uneven in the operation surface portion 112 also functions as a rib that increases the cross-sectional area of the operation surface portion 112, and the rigidity of the operation surface portion 112 itself can be improved.

  In the movable body cover 110, the peripheral wall 112 extends upward from the inside of the frame-shaped edging member 168 constituting the design surface of the upper ball tray 14, and in the embodiment, the movable body cover 110 exceeds 5 cm in the peripheral wall 112. The upper and lower areas are exposed outward. Further, even when the movable body cover 110 is pressed from the normal position toward the operation position and is lowered with respect to the edging member 168, a range of half or more in the vertical direction of the peripheral wall portion 112 is exposed to the outside. The peripheral wall portion 112 protrudes relatively upward from the upper surface of the edge member 168 (the upper ball tray 14), so that the player can access the peripheral wall portion 112. Here, the peripheral wall portion 112 is basically formed in a substantially polygonal column shape having a polygonal cross-sectional shape, and a ridge portion formed by the adjacent peripheral surface portions 114a is spaced apart in the circumferential direction on the peripheral wall portion 112. Extends up and down. Thus, since the surrounding wall part 114 is angular at the ridge part derived from polygonal shape, it can hesitate that a player lies down on the surrounding wall part 114. FIG. Each peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 114 is provided with a peripheral surface protrusion 116 that protrudes outward and extends in the vertical direction, and the peripheral surface has an angle formed by the angle formed by the peripheral surface protrusion 116. The peripheral wall 114 can be made more angular, and psychological regulation can be exerted against the player hitting the peripheral wall 114. Further, the peripheral wall portion 114 is formed in a step shape in which the base portion 114b (lower portion) on the edge member 168 side extends outward from the portion continuous with the operation surface portion 112 and intersects the displacement direction. The peripheral surface step portion 117 formed by 114b and the peripheral surface portion 114a above the base portion forms a corner, and the player can further hesitate to lie down on the peripheral wall portion 114.

  As described above, the movable body cover 110 can prevent the circumferential wall portion 114 from being hit by the angular shape of the circumferential wall portion 114, and can support the movable body cover 110 such that the movable body cover 110 can be displaced in the vertical direction. The strength required of the component member in a direction other than the displacement direction of the movable body cover 110 can be reduced. Therefore, the structure of the support mechanism 136 of the movable body cover 110 can be simplified.

(Arrangement of operation detection means)
In the embodiment, corresponding to the lower side of the peripheral wall portion 114 in the movable body cover 110 surrounding the movable body 200, a plurality of operation detection means 106 are disposed apart from each other in the circumferential direction, and a plurality of operation detections are performed. In this configuration, the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110 is determined based on the detection of the operation detection sensors 108 (one in the embodiment) which is smaller than the whole of the means 106. For example, when the front end of the operation surface portion 112 of the movable body cover 110 is pressed, the movable body cover 110 is displaced so that only the front side is lowered and inclined to the front side. Even if the operation detection unit 107 is not displaced so as to be out of the detection range of the operation detection sensor 108 in the operation detection means 106 arranged on the rear side, the operation arranged on the front side is arranged. In the detection unit 106, the operation detection unit 107 is out of the detection range of the operation detection sensor 108, and at least an operation signal is output from the operation detection sensor 108 of the operation detection unit 106 on the front side. Thus, even if the movable body cover 110 is pushed so as to tilt, the pressing displacement of the movable body cover 110 can be detected by any of the plurality of operation detection means 106. In particular, when the movable body cover 110 is enlarged, a force is easily applied to the movable body cover 110 inevitably, and the movable body cover 110 is displaced so as to be tilted. The accompanying detection failure of the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110 can be suppressed. That is, the movable body cover 110 can function the operation means appropriately.

  The movable body cover 110 is disposed in a posture in which the displacement direction by the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110 is inclined forward as it goes upward from the upper surface of the upper ball tray 14 with respect to the vertical line. Thus, the operation detection means 106 is disposed corresponding to each of the upper and lower inclined sides of the peripheral wall portion 114 of the movable body cover 110. As described above, the movable body cover 110 disposed in a tilted posture is easily tilted forward or backward when pressed by the player, but the operation detection means 106 is disposed at a position corresponding to this. Therefore, the detection failure of the pressing operation in the movable body cover 110 can be prevented more suitably. Then, not all the detections of the plurality of operation detection means 106 are the conditions for determining the operation of the movable body cover 110, but the detections by the operation detection sensors 108 having a set number smaller than all of the plurality of operation detection means 106 are the conditions for the operation determination. Therefore, the operation of the movable body cover 110 by the player can be appropriately reflected in the execution process of the game effect. In particular, as in the embodiment, the detection of at least one operation detection sensor 108 among the plurality of operation detection means 106 is used as the operation determination condition, so that the movable body cover 110 is not affected by the tilted displacement or the like. The operation of the movable body cover 110 by the player can be reliably reflected by the execution process of the game effect.

(Detection method of operation detection means)
The operation detecting means 106 is composed of an operation detecting unit 107 and a non-contact type operation detecting sensor 108 that can detect the operation detecting unit 107 without touching it. Even if it is strongly pressed, the operation detecting means 106 is unlikely to be broken unlike a mechanism having a mechanism that opens and closes by contact with a counterpart such as a micro switch. Moreover, the operation detection means 106 is such that the operation detection unit 107 is positioned between the light projecting unit 108a and the light receiving unit 108b of the operation detection sensor 108 at the normal position, and the movable body cover 110 is pressed from the normal position. Thus, the operation detection unit 107 comes off between the light projecting unit 108a and the light receiving unit 108b. According to this, even if the operation detection unit 107 is displaced from the prescribed displacement path due to the tilted displacement of the movable body cover 110, the operation detection unit is removed from between the light projecting unit 108a and the light receiving unit 108b. 107 does not interfere with the operation detection sensor 108. When the movable body cover 110 at the operation position is released, the operation detection is performed under the condition that the displacement path is defined under the engagement between the guide shaft 138 of the support mechanism 136 and the shaft passing portion 140 by the urging of the elastic member 144. Since the unit 107 returns between the light projecting unit 108a and the light receiving unit 108b in the operation detection sensor 108, the operation detection unit 107 is prevented from interfering with the operation detection sensor 108.

  The operation detection unit 106 is disconnected when the operation detection unit 107 is within the detection range of the operation detection sensor 108, and when the operation detection unit 107 is outside the detection range of the operation detection sensor 108, Since it is connected and outputs a signal, even if the operation detection sensor 108 breaks down, an error signal is not continuously output. If the operation detection unit 107 is within the detection range of the operation detection sensor 108, the circuit is connected and outputs a signal, and the operation detection unit 107 is out of the detection range of the operation detection sensor 108 and the circuit is cut off. With this configuration, when the operation detection sensor 108 fails, the operation signal continues to be output when the movable body cover 110 is in the normal position. On the other hand, in the operation detection unit 106 of the embodiment, even if the operation detection sensor 108 fails, if the movable body cover 110 is in the normal position, the operation detection unit 107 is located between the light projecting unit 108a and the light receiving unit 108b. Since the circuit of the operation detection sensor 108 is shut off at the position, the output of the operation signal can be prevented. As described above, since the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110 is determined on the condition that the set number of the plurality of operation detection means 106 is detected, even if one operation detection sensor 108 fails, The remaining operation detecting means 106 can detect the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110. As described above, the operation detection means 106 for determining the operation of the movable body cover 110 as the operation means has a high fault tolerance, so that even if one operation detection means 106 breaks down, the pachinko machine 10 Can be continuously operated, and maintenance work caused by the failure of the operation detection means 106 can be reduced.

(About operation detection means check processing)
If there is a notification by light emission from the lamp device 18 or the like in accordance with the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110 during the operation confirmation possible period that is set after the power is turned on and timed after the power is turned on, the operation detecting means 106 is appropriate. If the lamp device 18 or the like does not emit light even when the movable body cover 110 is pressed, it is possible to determine that the operation detecting means 106 is defective. In this way, it is possible to easily check the quality of the operation detection means 106 before the game starts after the power is turned on.

(Signal transmission of movable effect device)
The movable control unit 272 that controls the first drive motor 206 that operates the movable body 200 (first movable member 202) in the movable effect device 100 is serially connected to the overall control board 65 by the mutual communication means 65d and 280. Therefore, the movable position detection sensors 182 and 183 for detecting the position of the first movable member 202 and the operation detection sensors 108 and 108 for detecting the pressing operation of the movable body cover 110 are connected to the movable control unit 272. However, the enlargement of the movable control unit 272 can be avoided. In other words, by connecting the movable control unit 272 and the overall control board 65 serially, even with a compact movable control unit 272, the movable position detection sensors 182 and 183 and the operation detection sensors are connected to the movable control unit 272. Sensors such as 108 and 108 can be connected. Similarly, the effect control unit 276 that controls the second drive motor 208 that operates the second movable member 204 in the movable effect device 100 is serially connected to the overall control board 65 by the mutual communication means 65d and 280. Even if the effect position detection sensor 258 for detecting the position of the second movable member 204 is connected to the effect control unit 276, the size of the effect control unit 276 can be avoided. In other words, by serially connecting the effect control unit 276 and the overall control board 65, sensors such as the effect position detection sensor 258 are connected to the effect control unit 276 even if the effect control unit 276 is compact. can do.
