An origin detection sensor 173 that is an optical sensor that detects the origin position of the rotating ring 110 is attached to the lower left portion of the base member 101, and a light blocking piece 112 a for detecting the origin position is provided on the cylindrical portion 112 of the rotating ring 110. The position where the light blocking piece 112a is formed so as to match the origin detection sensor 173 is the origin position.

  As shown in FIGS. 30, 35, and 36, an origin sensor 174 (optical sensor 174) that detects the origin position of the ring gear 161, that is, the origin positions of the four rotating objects 150 is also mounted on the front side of the annular base portion 111. The detected portion (not shown) detected by the origin sensor 174 is a gear 154 fixedly provided, and is a gear 175 fixed to a shaft 174 a rotatably supported by the annular base portion 111. Is meshed with the ring gear 161 so as to rotate in synchronization with the four rotating members 150.

  A total of three slip rings 176 for transmitting drive signals and control signals to the three substrates 172 and connecting to the ground of the three substrates 172 are attached to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 112 of the rotating ring 110. (See FIG. 31). Four sets of contactor units 177 including three contactors 177 a that are in sliding contact with the slip rings 176 are arranged near the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 112.

  As shown in FIGS. 24, 25, 27, and 28, two sets of contact units 177 are arranged on the lower end side of the rotating ring 110, and one set of contact units 177 is arranged on the upper left side of the rotating ring 110. A pair of contactor units 177 is disposed on the upper right side of the rotating ring 110. These four sets of contact units 177 are mounted on the base member 101. The reason why the four sets of contact units 177 are provided is to deal with contact failure, so that the same drive signal and control signal are supplied from these four sets of contact units 177.

  As shown in FIG. 42, the contact unit 177 includes a unit main body 177a and three contact members 177b whose base end portions are fixed to the unit main body 177a and whose tip ends are in sliding contact with the three slip rings 176. ing. The contact 177b is made of an elastic conductive metal material (for example, phosphor bronze), and a contact tip 177c having excellent conductivity, slidability, and wear resistance is fixed to the tip of the contact 177b.

  In view of the fact that the rotation direction of the rotary ring 110 is both forward and reverse, the contact unit 177 having a diagonal relationship is configured such that the contact 177b extends clockwise from the unit body 177a. In the contact unit 177 in the diagonal relationship, the contact 177b is configured to extend counterclockwise from the unit main body 177a.

Next, the background etc. which reached | attained the above rotating accessory apparatus 23 are demonstrated easily.
One or a plurality of first movable members are mounted on a rotating member that forms a space on the rotation center side in a ring shape so that it can be switched between an advanced position and a retracted position. It is possible to produce an effect by operating an object with a plurality of movable patterns, but there are few types of movable patterns by simply rotating the first movable object in the advanced position and rotating it together with the rotating object. It is difficult to create a fresh and dynamic production that lacks freshness. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a second movable accessory that can perform a novel effect in cooperation with the first movable accessory.

  On the other hand, it is difficult to enhance the production effect in an effect that only rotates the rotating character provided on the arm member on the front side of the screen, like a movable character device including an arm member and a rotating character. Therefore, when a rotating combination is provided on each of the plurality of arm members, there is a possibility that the plurality of rotating combinations may interfere with each other. In order to avoid the interference, the number and size of the rotating objects are restricted, which is disadvantageous in enhancing the production effect.

  On the other hand, in a movable accessory device having an arm member and a rotating accessory, the movable accessory is switched to the retracted position while the rotating accessory is always in the unfolded state, so that the rotating accessory is stored inconspicuously for the player. Disadvantageous above. In addition, the size of the rotating combination that cannot be switched from the developed state to the housed state is restricted, which is disadvantageous in enhancing the production effect.

The operation and effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.
In the rotating accessory device 23, the rotating ring 110 can be held in a stationary state, and can also be held in a rotating state. There is a space inside the rotating ring 110, and almost the entire screen of the image display 17 on the back side can be seen from this space. Since the large rotating ring 110 arranged in the vicinity of the front side of the outer peripheral area of the screen rotates, a novel and dynamic effect can be performed.

  Regardless of whether the rotating ring 110 is in a stationary state or rotating state, the four movable members 130 can be switched by swinging to an operating state in which the movable part 130 is projected to the central region of the space. It can be switched by swinging to the approaching retreat position.

  When viewed in the initial state (origin state), the two movable actors 130 (130a, 130b) below the four movable actors 130 and the two movable actors 130 (130c, 130d) above are independent of each other. Since the electric motor 121 is driven to swing, only the lower two movable actors 130 (130a, 130b) are switched to the operating position, or only the upper two movable actors 130 (130c, 130d) are operated. It is possible to switch between the four movable members 130 to the operating position. Each movable accessory 130 is equipped with a plurality of LEDs, and can emit a plurality of colors.

  Therefore, since the movable accessory 130 is partially visible to the player even at the retracted position, it is possible to produce some effects by switching the movable accessory 130 at the retracted position to the light emitting state. . In addition, when the four movable actors 130 are switched from the retracted position to the operating position regardless of whether the light emitting state or the non-light emitting state, the four sword-like movable actors 130 suddenly appear on the front side of the screen. High performance can be performed. At this time, the light emitting state may be switched before switching to the operating position, the light emitting state may be switched simultaneously with the switching to the operating position, or the light emitting state may be switched after switching to the operating position.

  The light emission colors of the four movable actors 130 may be the same, or the two movable actors 130 (130a, 130c) of the first group and the two movable actors 130 (130b, 130d) of the second group are different emission colors. You may make it light-emit. The four movable accessories 130 may all emit light with different emission colors.

  As described above, the four rotating objects 150 can be switched between the expanded state and the retracted state. The expanded state means that the movable member 130 is in the operating position and the first and second reflecting members of the rotating member 150 are in the operating position. 152 and 153 are in a state in which they can rotate in a facing state. When the movable combination 130 is in the operating position, the rotation combination 150 can be held in the rotation stopped state. The four rotating objects 150 in the rotation stop state are positioned so as to occupy most of the center side region of the inner space portion of the rotating ring 110, and by rotating these rotating objects 150, a large effect can be obtained.

  In particular, when the four movable actors 130 are switched to the operating state and the light emitting state, and the four rotary actors 150 are switched to the rotating state, the production effect is high with a freshness and a lively feeling. In this state, when the rotating ring 110 is rotated, it becomes an effect with a more dynamic effect.

  In addition, the first group of rotating objects 150 (150A) rotates on the front side of the movable combination 130, and the second group of rotating combinations 150 (150B) rotates on the back side of the movable combination 130. , The rotation space of the first group of rotations 150 (150A) and the rotation space of the second group of rotations 150 (150B) are partially wrapped when viewed from the front, and the four rotation combinations It is advantageous in arranging the object 150, and the four rotating members 150 can be rotated by effectively utilizing most of the inner space of the rotating ring 110.

  Since the four rotary members 150 are rotationally driven by the common gear drive unit 162 and the four sets of rotary member drive units 167, the structure of the rotary member drive mechanism 160 can be simplified, and the four rotary members 150 The rotating operations can be synchronized, and the integrity of the effects of the four rotating objects 150 can be ensured.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 performs a lottery determination based on the establishment of the start condition, and performs an effect by moving a predetermined accessory in a plurality of movable patterns based on the determination value of the determination of the success / failure lottery. A gaming machine that provides a jackpot game that is advantageous to the player when a predetermined condition (for example, a jackpot symbol stop) is established.

  The predetermined accessory can visually recognize that the player is moving in a substantially circular shape, and has a rotating ring 110 (corresponding to a rotating accessory main body) having a space on the rotation center side, and the rotation A movable accessory 130 (corresponding to the first effect unit) that performs the first effect that advances toward the inside of the space part of the ring 110 and at least a part of the plurality of movable patterns are synchronized with the first effect and movable. A rotating accessory 150 (corresponding to the second effect section) is provided that performs a second effect different from the first effect in a space area that is at least partially different from the accessory 130. The first effect is an effect of switching the movable combination 130 from the retracted position to the operating position, and the second effect is an effect of rotating the rotating combination 150.

  In a state where the movable combination 130 and the rotating combination 150 have advanced in the direction of the rotation center of the inner space of the rotating ring 110 and the first and second effects have been activated, the rotating ring 110, the movable combination 130 and the rotating combination 150. Are configured to be integrally rotatable. The second effect of the rotating accessory 150 includes a rotating operation that rotates in front of the screen of the image display 17.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above, the first group of movable combinations 130 (130a, 130c) is provided with a rotation combination 150 (150A) that rotates on the front side thereof, and the second group of movable combinations 130 ( 130b, 130d) is provided with a rotating combination 150B that rotates on the back side thereof, and the first and second group of rotating combinations 150A, 150B are placed at the operating position of the first and second groups of moving combinations 130. When rotating, the first and second group of rotating objects 150A and 150B are rotated in a state of being at least partially overlapped in the front-rear direction. Therefore, a novel and dynamic production can be realized by rotating the first and second group of rotating objects 150A and 150B. In addition, it is possible to reliably prevent the first and second group of rotating members 150A and 150B from interfering with each other, and the size of the first and second group of rotating members 150A and 150B is not restricted in order to prevent interference. It is advantageous to increase the size of the first and second rotary members 150A and 150B to enhance the effect.

  As a modified form of the above-described configuration, at least one movable accessory is provided, and a first rotating accessory that rotates on the front side is provided on the movable accessory, and a second rotating accessory that rotates on the back side is provided. Also good. In this case, three movable combinations arranged at intervals of, for example, 120 ° in the circumferential direction are provided so that the rotation combinations do not interfere with each other, and each of the movable combinations has a front-side rotation combination and a back-side rotation combination. Things may be provided.

  In addition, since the movable members 130 of the first and second groups are configured to be switchable between the operating position and the retracted position in the same vertical plane, the movable members of the first and second groups are configured. A mechanism for supporting and driving the object 130 can be simplified.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 includes an image display 17 included in the center combination, and the four rotation combinations 150 are configured to rotate in a space in front of the screen of the image display 17. . Therefore, it is possible to perform an effect of rotating the four rotating objects 150 in association with the effect displayed on the screen.

  This pachinko gaming machine 1 includes operation means 6 that can accept a predetermined operation by a player, and includes branch effecting means 234 that produces various game branches based on the contents of the lottery based on the establishment of the start condition. In the branch effect, the operation instruction display of the operation means 6 is performed by display on the screen, and when the operation means 6 is not operated in the branch effect, the rotation ring 110 (rotary accessory main body) is connected to the final result suggesting timing. The movable accessory 130 (first effect unit) and the rotating accessory 150 (second effect unit) are configured to be integrally rotatable. For example, the rotating ring is more than the case where the operation means 6 is operated in the branch effect. The rate at which 110, the movable combination 130, and the rotation combination 150 are integrally operated is set high.

  The branching of various games is the effect of whether or not to step up, the effect of whether or not the reach symbol is stopped, the effect of whether or not a big hit, the effect of whether or not to promote a round, whether or not to promote It's about the production of a song. In this branch effect, an operation instruction display of the operation means 6 is performed, and when the operation means 6 is not operated in the branch effect, the rotating ring 110, the movable accessory 130, and the rotating accessory 150 are displayed at the final result suggestion timing. As a result of integrally rotating, it is possible to effectively produce various game branches.

  This pachinko gaming machine 1 performs a lottery lottery based on the establishment of the start condition, and moves a predetermined movable accessory (rotating accessory device 23) in a plurality of movable patterns based on the determination value of the success / failure lottery. And a big hit game advantageous to the player when a predetermined condition is satisfied. A rotating combination 150 that can rotate with respect to the movable combination 130 and can be changed between a storage state and an unfolded state is provided. Therefore, the operation of switching from the storage state to the unfolded state is an effect with a high production effect, and is advantageous in storing the rotating accessory 150 inconspicuously.

  The tension spring 156 (corresponding to the urging means) that urges the rotating combination 150 to the unfolded state is provided so that the rotating combination 150 can be moved when the rotating combination 150 is changed from the unfolded state to the retracted state. An accessory operating portion 113c, 111f (corresponding to an accessory guiding portion) that receives the pin portion 152c of the rotating accessory 150 from the unfolded state and accommodates the rotating ring 110 (corresponding to the base member) to be supported. Therefore, there is no need to provide the movable member 130 with a switching mechanism for switching the rotating member 150 between the unfolded state and the retracted state, and the structure of the movable member 130 and the rotating member 150 can be simplified. it can.

A change mode in which the rotating accessory device 23 is partially changed will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 43, the means 200 to 207, 210 to 217, and 220 shown in the figure are mainly configured by a computer (main control unit) of the game control board 31. The special figure counter means 200 sequentially updates the big hit determination value, the special figure determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value every minute time within the set range.

  The special figure acquiring means 201 is a big hit updated by the special figure counter means 200 when the special figure starting condition is satisfied when the game ball wins the first starting port 10 when the first special figure holding number is less than 4. The determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value are acquired as a set of first special figure determination information, and when the second special figure holding number is less than 4, the game ball is in the second start port 11a. When a prize is won, a special figure starting condition is established, and the jackpot determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value updated by the special figure counter means 200 are acquired as a set of second special figure determination information. .

  The special figure storage unit 202 has up to four pieces of first and second special figure determination information acquired by the special figure acquisition unit 201 and not subjected to the determination by the big hit determination unit 204a of the special figure determination unit 204, that is, the special figure determination unit 204. A total of eight figure determination information can be stored (held), and the number of first special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 202 becomes the first special figure hold number, and the special figure hold storage means 202. The number of second special figure determination information stored in the second special figure reservation number.

  The special figure hold digesting means 203 uses the special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 202 for the determination by the big hit determination means 204a one by one every time the change of the special symbol starts, the special figure hold storage means 202 Erase (hold digestion) from. At this time, when a plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage unit 202, the order in which the plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage unit 202 (that is, the special figure acquisition unit 201). In the order acquired in the above), but when both the first and second special figure determination information are stored in the special figure holding storage means 202, the second special figure determination information is designated as the first special figure. Digest prior to decision information.

  In the special figure determination means 204, the big hit determination means 204a is the special figure determination information acquired by the special figure acquisition means 201 and stored in the special figure reservation storage means 202, more specifically, the special figure reservation digest means 203. Based on the special figure determination information, it is determined whether or not a special game advantageous to the player is to be performed, and if it is determined that the special game is to be performed, the symbol determination means 204b has the first and second big prize opening in the special game. The open pattern of 13a, 14a and specific area SW14g is determined.

  Specifically, first, the jackpot determining means 204a determines whether or not to play a special game based on the jackpot determination value of the special figure determination information. In this case, when the “low accuracy / non-time short state” or “low accuracy / short time state” described later is set, the big hit judgment value is set at a ratio of about 1/300 using the low accuracy table shown in FIG. If it matches one of the big hit specific values (3,247 ...), it is determined that a special game is to be performed, and when the "high accuracy / short time state" described later is set, using the high accuracy table shown in FIG. When the big hit determination value matches one of the big hit specific values (3, 7,...) At a ratio of about 1/68, it is determined that the special game is performed.

  When the symbol determination means 204b determines that a special game is to be performed by the jackpot determination means 204a, a plurality of jackpot symbols (the jackpot symbols 1 to 3 shown in FIG. 45) are based on the symbol determination value of the special symbol determination information. If any one is selected and it is determined that the special game is not performed, the lost symbol is selected. In the case of the jackpot symbol selection, when the special symbol determination information is the first special symbol determination information, the symbol selection is performed at the selection rate defined by the first symbol selection table shown in FIG. The symbols are selected at a selection rate defined by the second symbol selection table shown in FIG.

  Based on the determination result by the special figure determination means 204, the special figure display control means 205 triggers the first special figure display device 29a when the first special figure determination information is digested by the special figure reservation digest means 203. After the first special symbol is variably displayed, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed, and when the second special symbol determination information is digested by the special symbol reservation digesting means 203, the second special symbol indicator After the second special symbol is variably displayed on 29b, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed. If it is determined that the special game is to be performed by the big hit determination means 204a as this determination symbol, any of the big hit symbols 1 to 3 selected by the symbol determination means 204b is stopped and determined to not be performed. The stop symbol is displayed.

  When the special game executing means 206 determines that the special game is to be performed by the big hit determining means 204a, the special figure display control means 205 determines the determination symbol indicating the determination result (the big hit symbol 1 to 1 selected by the symbol determining means 204b). 3) is stopped and displayed, a special game advantageous to the player who opens the first and second big prize winning openings 13a, 14a and the specific area SW14g is performed with an opening pattern corresponding to the determination symbol.

  That is, the pachinko gaming machine 1 performs a lottery determination (acquisition of special figure determination information, determination of whether or not to perform a special game based on the special figure determination information) based on the establishment of the start condition, Based on the determination result (determination value), when it is determined that a special game is to be performed (a predetermined condition is established), a special game (big hit game) advantageous to the player is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 46, in the special game 1 performed with the jackpot symbol 1 stopped and the special game 2 performed with the jackpot symbol 2 stopped, one of the first and second big prize winning openings 13a and 14a is opened. R games (R means "round") 1R to 8R, of which 1R to 7R each of the Rs open the first grand prize opening 13a, 8R has the second big prize opening 14a It becomes a specific R to be released. Special game 3 played with jackpot symbol 3 being stopped has R games 1R to 16R, of which R of 1R to 7R, 9R to 15R is normal R, and R of 8R and 16R is a specific R . The normal R of special games 1, 2 and 3 starts with the first big prize opening 13a being opened, and after 10 game balls have won the first big prize opening 13a or 30 seconds have passed, The winning opening 13a is closed and the process ends.

  As shown in FIG. 47 (1), the special R of the special game 1 starts when the second big prize opening 14a is opened, and then 10 game balls are won in the second big prize opening 14a, or 0.1 seconds. When the time has elapsed, the second grand prize opening 14a is closed and the process ends. In the specific R, the specific area 14f is opened 0.8 seconds after the second big prize opening 14a is opened, and the second big prize opening 14a is closed. The specific area 14f is closed after 0.8 seconds from the start. In addition, as shown in FIG. 47 (2), the special R of the special games 2 and 3 starts with the second big prize opening 14a opened, and then 10 game balls win the second big prize opening 14a. Alternatively, after 30 seconds, the second grand prize opening 14a is closed and finished, and in the specific R, the specific area 14f is opened 0.8 seconds after the second big prize opening 14a is opened. The specific area 14f is closed 0.8 seconds after the closing of 14a.

  By performing “right-handed”, for example, about 875 game balls can be acquired in the special game 1, for example, about 1000 game balls can be acquired in the special game 2, and for example, about 2000 in the special game 3 In the special game 1, the possibility that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f is extremely low. In the special games 2 and 3, the possibility that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f is extremely low. Get higher.

  The probability setting means 207 uses a low probability (about 1/300) or a high probability table shown in FIG. 44 to determine the big hit probability determined to be a big hit game by the big hit determination means 204a. Use to set higher probability (about 1/68) than lower probability.

  On the other hand, the normal counter 210 sequentially updates the hit determination value every minute time within the set range. When the number of pending drawings is less than 4 and the game ball passes through the gate 12, the usual figure acquisition means 211 establishes the usual figure starting condition, and the winning figure updated by the ordinary figure counter means 210 Obtained as judgment information. The universal map storage unit 212 can store (hold) up to four universal map determination information that is acquired by the universal map acquisition unit 211 and not subjected to determination by the general map determination unit 214. The number of the general map determination information stored in the number becomes the general map hold number.

  The universal figure reservation means 213 uses the universal figure determination information stored in the universal figure reservation storage means 212 for determination by the universal figure determination means 214 one by one every time the normal symbol changes start. Erasing from 212 (hold digestion). At this time, when a plurality of common map determination information is stored in the general map hold storage unit 212, the order in which the plurality of general map determination information is stored in the general map hold storage unit 212 (that is, the general map acquisition unit 211). Digest in the order obtained).

  Whether or not to perform the auxiliary game based on the general map determination information stored in the general map hold storage unit 212, more specifically, based on the general map determination information digested by the general map hold digest unit 213. Determine. Based on the determination result by the general map determination unit 214, the general map display control unit 215 changes the normal symbol on the general map display 29c when the general map determination information is digested by the general map hold digest unit 213. After the display, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed. As the determination symbol, when the general symbol determination unit 214 determines that the auxiliary game is to be performed, the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, and when it is determined that the auxiliary game is not to be performed, the lose symbol is stopped and displayed.

  When it is determined that the base game determination unit 214 performs the auxiliary game, the auxiliary game execution unit 216 stops the display of the determination symbol (winning symbol) indicating the determination result by the general diagram display control unit 215, and then 2 An auxiliary game for opening the start port 11a is performed. As shown in FIG. 48, the operation mode setting means 217 sets, as the second start port operation mode, a low operation mode in which the second start port 11a is hardly operated in the open state or a high operation mode in which the second start port 11a is easily operated in the open state. .

  Specifically, in the low operation mode, the hit probability determined to perform the auxiliary game by the normal figure determination means 214 is 1/10, and the normal figure change time in which the normal symbol is variably displayed by the normal figure display control means 215 is 12. Second, the second start port opening pattern for opening the second start port 11a in the auxiliary game by the auxiliary game executing means 216 is set to 0.1 second × 1 time. The time is set to 0.5 seconds, and the second opening opening pattern is set to 2.0 seconds x 3 times.

  The gaming state control means 220 alternatively sets one of a plurality of gaming states (“low accuracy / non-time short state”, “low accuracy / short time state”, “high accuracy / short time state” shown in FIG. 49). The game is controlled in the gaming state. When the power is turned on, the gaming state set at the time of the previous power-off is set continuously, and when the so-called RAM clear is executed at the time of power-on, the “low-probability / non-time-short state” is set.

  As shown in FIG. 49, when “low accuracy / non-time short state” or “low accuracy / short time state” is set, a low probability is set by the probability setting means 207 and “high accuracy / short time state” is set. If so, the probability setting means 207 sets a high probability. In addition, when “low accuracy / non-short time state” is set, the low operation mode is set by the operation mode setting means 217, and when “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state” is set, The high operation mode is set by the operation mode setting means 217.

  As shown in FIG. 50, when the special game is executed by the special game execution means 206, the game state control means 220 sets the game in the “low-probability / non-short-time state”. In the special game, when the game ball that has won the second grand prize opening 14a passes through the specific area 14f (that is, V winning is present), the “high accuracy / short time state” is set, and then the special game If the special symbol variation count of the special symbol reaches 110 times without being performed, the setting is changed from the “high accuracy / short time state” to the “low accuracy / non-time short state”. In addition, after the end of the special game, if the game ball that has won the second big prize opening 14a in the special game does not pass through the specific area 14f (that is, no V prize is given), the “low accuracy / short time state” is set. After that, when the special figure change count reaches 100 without any special game being performed, the setting is changed from the “low accuracy / short time state” to the “low accuracy / non-time short state”.

  As shown in FIG. 43, a game effect is produced by a production means 240 (image display device 17, upper movable accessory device 20, lower movable accessory device) by means of a computer such as an effect control board 33, an image control board 34, and a lamp control board 35. 21, an effect control means 230 to be performed by the movable display accessory device 22, the rotating accessory device 23, the speaker 37, and the lamps 38 a and 38 b), and the effect control means 230 includes the symbol variation effect control means 231 and the special game. An effect control means 232, an accessory control means 233, and a branch effect means 234 are provided.

  The symbol variation effect control means 231 displays a plurality of symbol variation effects shown in FIG. 51 (1) when the special symbol display control means 205 is variably displayed based on the determination result by the special symbol determination means 204. A symbol variation effect selected from (symbol variation effects 1, 2, 3... N) is performed. Each symbol variation effect is classified into one of a normal lose symbol variation effect, a reach lose symbol variation effect, and a winning symbol variation effect, and the determination result by the special symbol determination means 204 (the jackpot expectation degree determined to perform a special game). Done as suggested.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 52, in the symbol variation effect, three symbol display portions 17a are set in the image display device 17, and (1) three sets of effect symbol sequences are vertically scrolled in these symbol display portions 17a. After the variable display, first, (2) the left effect symbol “X” is stopped and displayed, then (3) the right effect symbol “Y” is stopped and displayed, and finally (4) the middle effect symbol “Z” is displayed. ”Is displayed in a stopped state, and these three stop effect symbols“ XZY ”are combined to indicate the determination result by the special figure determination means 204.

  For example, in the normal loss symbol variation effect, (2) (3) the left effect symbol “X” and the right effect symbol “Y” are stopped so that the right effect symbol “Y” is not aligned, and then the non-reach state is performed. (4) Medium effect design “Z” stops variably. For example, in the reach lose pattern variation effect and the winning symbol variation effect, (2) (3) the left effect symbol “X” and the right effect symbol “Y” are stopped and the reach effect is reached, and then the development effect is With the end of the development effect, the reach loss design variation production is stopped so that the middle design symbol “Z” does not line up with the production symbols “X” and “Y” that have been suspended. Then, the variation stop is made so that the medium effect symbol “Z” is aligned with the effect symbols “X” and “Y” where the variation is stopped.

  When the special game is executed by the special game execution means 206, the special game effect control means 232 has a plurality of special game effects (special game effects 1, 2, 3,... N) shown in FIG. The special game motion effect selected from the above is performed, and at the end of the special game, the ending selected from a plurality of ending effects (ending effects 1, 2, 3,... N) shown in FIG. Make a production.

  The accessory control means 233 suggests the determination result (big hit expectation) by the special figure determination means 204 in the specific symbol change effect performed by the symbol change effect control means 231, or the special game effect control. In a specific special game effect or a specific ending effect performed by the means 232, at least one of the upper movable accessory device 20, the lower movable accessory device 21, the movable display accessory device 22, and the rotating accessory device 23 is used. Control to operate.

  The accessory control means 233 rotates in a plurality of movable patterns based on the result (determination value) of the success / failure lottery (determination by the special figure determination means 204) based on the establishment of the start condition with respect to the control of the rotating accessory device 23. The accessory device 23 (at least one of the rotating ring 110, the four movable accessories 130, and the four rotating actors 150) can be moved to produce an effect.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 53, the plurality of movable patterns of the rotating accessory device 23 includes a movable pattern 1 and a rotating accessory 150 that operate the movable accessory 130 while the rotating ring 110 and the rotating accessory 150 are stopped. The movable pattern 2 for operating the rotating ring 110 and the movable accessory 130 with the rotation stopped, the movable pattern 3 for operating the movable accessory 130 and the rotating accessory 150 with the rotating ring 110 stopped, and the rotating ring 110 A movable pattern 4 for operating the movable combination 130 and the rotation combination 150 is included.

  Specifically, in the movable pattern 1, the four movable actors 130 move from the retracted position → the operating position → the retracted position, and in the movable pattern 1, when the four movable actors 130 are in the operating position, the rotating ring It is the movable pattern 2 that 110 rotates. Further, in the movable pattern 1, when the four movable members 130 are in the operating position, the four rotating members 150 are rotated (spinned) in the movable pattern 3, and the rotating ring 110 is further rotated. This is a movable pattern 4.

  In the movable patterns 1 to 4, the first effect is that the four movable objects 130 advance toward the inner side of the space of the rotating ring 110. In the movable patterns 3 and 4 (at least a part of the plurality of movable patterns), The four rotating members 150 are synchronized with the first effect (that is, when the four movable members 130 are in the operating position), and at least a part of the four rotating members 150 is four movable inside the rotating ring 110. An effect that rotates in a space area different from the accessory 130 is the second effect.

  The branch effect means 234 determines whether or not the lottery is selected when the symbol change effect control means 231 or the special game effect control means 232 performs a specific symbol change effect or special game effect in which the rotating accessory device 23 can operate. Based on the contents (results of determination by the special figure determining means 204), the rotating accessory device 23 operates a branch effect that produces a branch of various games (that is, a branch of a game effect such as a symbol variation effect or a special game effect). Let it be done.

  Here, as the branching effect, the effect content stepping up in the symbol variation effect (switching to the effect content with higher expectation degree of jackpot) or not, whether to reach the reach state in the symbol variation effect The effect of hitting whether or not to win a big hit in the effect of making a hit or symbol change (for example, whether or not to stop the stop effect “XZY” with a flat eye), the effect of changing the symbol or the special game effect that has a big hit Whether or not to promote a round (for example, 8R jackpot game or 16R jackpot game), whether or not to promote a certain change in the symbol variation effect or special game effect where the jackpot is fixed (for example, the jackpot For example, “whether it will be in a“ low accuracy / short time state ”or a“ high accuracy / short time state ”” after the game ends.

  The effect operation device 6 corresponds to an operation means capable of accepting a predetermined operation by the player. In the branch effect, as shown in FIG. 54, an image of the branch effect is displayed on the image display device 17, and the effect is provided. An operation instruction display of the effect button SW6a of the operation device 6 is performed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 55 (1), for example, the operation effective period of the effect button SW6a is set from the start of the branch effect until the branch effect can be performed to the maximum, 55 (2), when the effect button SW6a is operated within the operation valid period, the rotating accessory device 23 is activated during the operation, as shown in FIG. 55 (2). ), If the effect button SW6a is not operated within the operation effective period, the rotating accessory device 23 operates at the final result suggestion timing at the end of the operation effective period.

  The operation of the rotating accessory device 23 here is performed by the movable pattern 4 shown in FIG. In other words, the rotating ring 110, the four movable combinations 130, and the four rotary combinations are integrally rotated. Specifically, as described above, the four movable combinations 130 are retracted position → actuated position → retracted. The rotary ring 110 is rotated (rotated) when the four movable objects 130 are in the operating position, and the rotary ring 110 is further rotated. In addition, you may operate the rotary accessory apparatus 23 with the movable pattern 3 shown in FIG. Here, when the effect button SW6a is not operated in the branch effect, the ratio at which the rotating ring 110, the movable combination 130, and the rotating combination 150 are integrally operated at the final result suggestion timing is higher than when the operation button SW6a is operated. Can be set high.

  For the control of the movable display accessory device 22, the accessory control means 233 is based on the determination result by the special symbol determination means 204, progress of the symbol variation effect, and further using the effect operation device 6 during the symbol variation effect. Depending on the operation, the three movable display combinations 76, 77, 78 are integrally moved up and down, stopped moving to the standby position or the operating position, and the three movable display combinations 76, 77, 78 are synchronized. It is configured to produce effects by rotating or stopping rotation.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 56, when a specific development effect is being performed, the operation of the movable display accessory device 22 and the execution of the so-called cut-in effect are performed to the player during a predetermined setting period. An operation instruction display that can be started is performed. Here, as shown in FIG. 59 (1), an operation effective period is set for a certain period from the start of the set period, and as shown in FIG. 59 (2), the rendering operation device 6 is within the operation effective period. When the effect button SW6a is operated, the movable display accessory device 22 is activated, and a cut-in effect is performed in synchronization with the operation of the movable display accessory device 22.

  Specifically, when the effect button SW6a is operated within the operation valid period, as shown in FIG. 57, the three movable display accessories 76, 77, 78 are rotated from the standby position (see FIG. 56) while rotating. Then, as shown in FIG. 58, when the three movable display combinations 76, 77, 78 reach the operating position (the lower half front side of the central portion in the left-right direction of the image display device 17), the three movable display combinations 76. , 77, 78 stop rotating, and a cut-in effect is displayed on the image display device 17 (for example, a screen portion corresponding to the upper side of the three movable display objects 76, 77, 78).

  Here, the three movable display combinations 76, 77, and 78 have a first display position (FIG. 17) that displays, for example, “□” on the display surfaces with the first display surfaces 76a, 77a, and 78a facing forward. ), The second display surface 76b, 77b, 77b facing forward, the second display position (FIG. 20) for displaying, for example, “Δ” on those display surfaces, and the third display surfaces 76c, 77c, 78c. Rotate forward according to the determination result by the special figure determination means 204 at any one of the third display positions (FIG. 23) where, for example, “◯” is displayed on the display surfaces.

  The cut-in effect is a display mode corresponding to the display positions (any one of the first, second, and third display positions) of the three movable display combinations 76, 77, 78, that is, the three movable display combinations 76, 77 and 78, which is a display mode corresponding to the display (any one of “□”, “Δ”, and “O”), and is eventually displayed on the image display device 17 in a display mode corresponding to the determination result by the special figure determination unit 204. Is done.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 60, the cut-in effect of the blue effect is displayed in the display mode A corresponding to the display “□”, and the cut-in effect of the purple effect is displayed in the display mode B corresponding to the display “Δ”. In the display mode C corresponding to the display “O”, the cut-in effect of the red effect is displayed, and the big hit expectation is higher than the cut-in effect (display “□”) of the display mode A. The cut-in effect (display “Δ”) of B is higher, and the cut-in effect (display “◯”) of display mode C is higher than that.

The overall operation and effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above will be described.
When “low-probability / non-short-time state” is set, the player can play the game by “left-handed”, and can aim at the first start port 10 by this “left-handed”. When the game ball wins the first start port 10 when is less than 4, the first special figure determination information is acquired and stored in the special figure storage unit 202. When “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state” is set, the player can play the game by “right-handed”, and can aim at the second start port 11a by right-handed. When the number of 2 special figure holds is less than 4, and the game ball wins the second starting port 11a, the second special figure determination information is acquired and stored in the special figure holding storage means 202.

  In addition, the player can aim at the gate 12 by “right-handed”, and when the number of holdings of the usual figure is less than 4, when the game ball passes the gate 12, the usual figure determination information is acquired and the ordinary figure holding storage means 212. Here, first, the general symbol determination information stored in the general symbol hold storage means 212 is sequentially digested (erased) every time the variation of the normal symbol starts, and a winning lottery is performed by the digestion of the general symbol determination information. In the case of winning, an auxiliary game is generated in which the second start opening 11a is opened after the symbol is hit by the normal display 29c and stops changing.

  When “low accuracy / short time state” or “high accuracy / short time state” is set, the high operation mode is set as the auxiliary game operation mode, and “right-handed” is performed to Since many game balls can be expected to win, it is possible to play a game by substantially maintaining the number of game balls owned by “right-handed”. However, when “low accuracy / non-short-time state” is set, even if “right-handed” is performed, almost no winning of the game ball to the first starting port 10 can be expected, and the low operation mode is used as the auxiliary game operation mode. Is set, and almost no winning of game balls to the second starting port 11a can be expected, so the game is played while reducing the number of owned game balls by “left-handed”.

  Next, the special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage unit 202 is sequentially digested (erased) every time the change of the special symbol starts. At that time, a plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage unit 202. Are stored in the order in which they are acquired. However, if both the first and second special figure determination information are stored, the second special figure determination information is stored. The figure determination information is preferentially digested over the first special figure determination information. If the bonus game lottery is performed by digesting the special figure determination information, and if the winner is won in the bonus game lottery, the bonus game symbols 13a and 14a are opened after the bonus game symbol is stopped fluctuating in the special signal indicators 29a and 29bc. A special game will occur.

  When a special game occurs, the player can aim at the first and second big prize winning openings 13a, 14a by "right-handed". In special games 1 and 2, R games of 1R to 8R are performed, and in the normal R of 1R to 7R, the first big prize opening 13a is opened, and in the specific R of 8R, the second big prize opening 14a is opened, and special In game 3, R games of 1R to 16R are performed, and in the normal R of 1R to 7R and 9R to 15R, the first big prize opening 13a is opened, and in the specific R of 8R and 16R, the second big prize opening 14a is opened. To do.

  In the special game 1, the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a short time with a specific R of 8R, and for example, about 875 game balls can be obtained. Since the game ball is opened for a short period of time, the possibility that the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f is extremely low, and after the special game 1 is completed, the “low-probability / short-time state” is set.

  On the other hand, in the special game 2, the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for a long time with a specific R of 8R, and, for example, about 1000 game balls can be obtained. In the special game 3, the second largest is a specific R of 8R and 16R. The winning opening 14a is opened for a long period of time, for example, about 2000 game balls can be obtained, and the specific area 14f is also opened for a long time when the second large winning opening 14a is opened for a long period of time. The possibility of passing the game is extremely high, and after the special games 2 and 3 are finished, the “high accuracy / short time state” is set.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol is variably displayed, the symbol variation effect is performed, and when the special game is performed, the special game effect and the ending effect are mainly displayed on the image display device 17, respectively. In addition to improving the characteristics and game entertainment, in addition to suggesting the result of jackpot lottery (expected degree of jackpot) in a specific symbol variation production, or in a special special game production or a specific ending production, At least one of the device 21, the lower movable accessory device 20, the movable display accessory device 22, and the rotating accessory device 23 is actuated to enhance the effect.

  For each of the upper movable accessory device 21, the lower movable accessory device 20, the movable display accessory device 22, and the rotating accessory device 23, for example, in the symbol variation effect, the “big hit” is greater than when it does not operate. It is possible to further enhance the production effect so that the degree of jackpot expectation determined as "" increases and the degree of jackpot expectation varies depending on the operation mode.

  In addition, various modifications can be added without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention can be applied to various gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines. For example, a slot machine (cylinder gaming machine), like a pachinko gaming machine, wins lottery based on establishment of start conditions (acquisition of determination information, determination of whether or not to perform a special game based on the determination information) And a special game (big hit game) advantageous to the player is performed when it is determined that a special game is to be performed (predetermined condition is established) based on the determination result (determination value) of the winning / failing lottery However, the present invention can also be applied to the slot.
