And are installed. As an example, in the effect control board 12, when the effect control CPU 120 executes an effect control program read from the ROM 121, a process for controlling the effect operation by the effect electric component is executed. In addition to the effect control program, the ROM 121 stores various data tables used for controlling the effect operation.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41 provided in the gaming area 10, the normal game with the normal symbol display 20 is started. After the start of the normal symbol change, if the specified time, which is the normal symbol change time, has elapsed, and the normal symbols other than the normal symbol are displayed in a stopped state, the normal symbol change display result is “out of normal”. Become. If the specific normal symbol (the symbol per ordinary symbol) is stopped and displayed, the variation display result of the ordinary symbol becomes “per ordinary symbol”, and the expansion / release control (tilt control) of the ordinary variable winning ball apparatus 6B is performed, and the predetermined symbol is displayed. When time elapses, normal opening control for returning to the vertical position is performed.

  Based on the fact that the first start condition is satisfied after the first special condition game or the big hit game state has ended, for example, after the first start condition is satisfied because the game ball has won the first start winning opening, etc. Then, a special game is started by the first special symbol display 4A. In addition, after the second start condition is established because the game ball has won the second start winning opening, etc., the second start condition is established, for example, due to the end of the previous special game or the big hit game state. Based on this, a special game is started by the second special symbol display 4B.

  In the special game, after starting the variable display of the special symbol, the fixed special symbol (special graphic display result) is derived and displayed when the variable display time elapses. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is displayed in a stopped state, the result is “big hit” as the specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is displayed in a stopped state, it becomes “out of place”. After the fluctuation display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as “round game”) is executed a predetermined number of times.

  In the big hit gaming state, a special winning prize ball device 7 has a special prize opening door for a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winning balls. In the period until the occurrence of, the grand prize opening is opened. Thereby, the round which makes the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 the 1st state (open state) advantageous for a player is performed.

  A special prize opening device that opens the grand prize opening during the round is received by receiving a game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2 and then closing the special prize opening. 7 is changed to the second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is completed. The round that is the opening cycle of the big prize opening can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16”, etc.).

  In the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the effect display device 5, in response to the start of the special symbol game, the effect symbol variable display is started. In the period from the start of the variation display of the effect symbol to the end of the variation display, the variation display state of the effect symbol may be a predetermined reach state. The reach state is a display in which variation continues for effect symbols that are not yet stopped when the effect symbols that are stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 constitute a part of the jackpot combination. A state or a display state in which all or a part of the effect symbols change synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination.

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, among the multiple types of big hit combinations, the fixed effect symbol that is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as “non-probable variable big hit combination”) is stopped and displayed, and the variation display result is “non-probable big hit bonus”. ”Is controlled to the big hit state, and after the end, time reduction control (time reduction control) is performed. By performing the time reduction control, the special symbol change display time (special figure change time) in the special figure game is shortened compared to the normal state. In the short-time control, so-called electric Chu support is performed in which the winning frequency of the normal symbol is increased and the winning frequency to the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is increased. In the time-saving control, one of the conditions is established first, that is, a special game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the big hit gaming state ends, and the fluctuation display result is “big hit”. Sometimes it just needs to end.

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, among the multiple types of big hit combinations, the finalized design symbol that becomes a predetermined probability variable big hit combination (also referred to as “probable big hit combination”) is stopped and the fluctuation display result is “probable big hit” When it becomes, it is controlled to the big hit state, and after the end, probability variation control (probability variation control) is performed together with time reduction control. By performing the probability variation control, the probability that the variation display result is “big hit” in each special figure game is improved so as to be higher than that in the normal state. When the condition that the variable display result is “big hit” and the game is controlled again to the big hit gaming state after the end of the big hit gaming state is established, the probability variation control is performed a predetermined number of times after the big hit gaming state ends (for example, the same as the number of time reductions 100) When the special figure game is executed, the probability variation control lottery executed every time the special figure game is started after the jackpot game state is finished is determined to have “probable fall”. When it ends, etc.

  When the short-time control is performed, the normal symbol variation time (normal diagram variation time) in the regular game is shorter than that in the normal state, and the regular symbol variation display result is “normal diagram” in each regular game. The tilt control time for performing the tilt control of the movable blade piece in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B based on the fact that the probability of “winning” is higher than that in the normal state, and the fluctuation display result is “normal hitting”. The second start condition can be established by making it easier for the game ball to pass (enter) the second start winning opening, such as control for making it longer than in the normal state, and control for increasing the number of tilts than in the normal state. Control (electricity chew support control, high opening control) that is advantageous for the player by enhancing the performance is performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure is likely to be established, and the special figure game can be executed frequently. Time to become is shortened.

  Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment will be described. In the main board 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes a predetermined process as a game control main process. When game control timer interrupt processing is started in the game control main processing, switch processing, main-side error processing, information output processing, game random number update processing, special symbol process processing, normal symbol process processing, and command control processing are executed.

  In the special symbol process, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not there has been a first start winning or a second starting winning. A random number value for determination or the like is extracted, and a start winning process is executed for storing (storing) at the highest level of empty entries in the first special figure reservation storage unit or the second special figure reservation storage unit.

  Further, the CPU 103 determines whether or not to start the special game based on the presence / absence of the hold data stored in the first special figure hold storage unit or the second special figure hold storage unit, and the special figure display result. A special decision that determines (predetermines) whether or not the variation display result of a special symbol or production symbol is to be a “hit” based on numerical data indicating a random number for judgment before the variation display result is derived and displayed. The symbol normal process is executed. That is, when starting the variation display of the special figure game, the CPU 103 determines whether or not to derive and display the jackpot display result as the display result of the variation display based on the random number value stored when the start winning occurs. Processing to determine (lottery) is executed.

  Next, a variation pattern setting process for determining a variation pattern as one of a plurality of types, a special symbol variation process for performing a setting for varying a special symbol and a process for measuring an elapsed time after the special symbol starts variation, A special symbol stop process is performed to perform settings for stopping the change of the special symbol and stopping and displaying (deriving) the fixed special symbol. In addition, when the variation display result is “big hit”, the big hit release pre-processing, the big hit open process, the big hit release post-processing, and the big hit end process are performed to open and close the big winning opening in the big hit gaming state.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process when the power is turned on. When a timer interruption occurs in the main process, a command analysis process, an effect control process, and an effect random number update process are executed.

Execute. Next, in accordance with the value of the production control process flag, a variation pattern designation command reception waiting process for confirming whether or not a variation pattern designation command has been received from the game control microcomputer 100, and variation of the production symbol are started. While controlling the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern and monitoring the end of the variation time according to the process data set in the effect symbol variation start process to be controlled and the process symbol variation start process , Display control of the effect display device 5, sound output from the speakers 8L, 8R, light emission of the effect LED 9 and drive control of the first effect unit 300 and the second effect unit 400, etc. An effect symbol variation stop process is performed to perform control to stop the variation and derive and display the display result (stop symbol).

  In the big hit display process, after the end of the variation time, the effect display device 5 is controlled to display a screen for notifying the occurrence of the big hit. In the big hit game processing, control during the big hit game is performed. In the big hit end effect process, the effect display device 5 performs display control for notifying the player that the big hit gaming state has ended.

  In this way, the effect control CPU 120 can execute various effects related to the game such as the effect display variable display control and the notice effect based on the effect control command (control information) transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100. Has been.

The lock member 362 is guided by a guide member (not shown) so as to be movable in the left-right direction. A compression spring 356b is provided around the outer periphery of the plunger 356a of the front solenoid 356, and urges the plunger 356a to protrude from the main body when the front solenoid 356 is in an excited state (off).

  The front solenoid 356 is provided so that the fitting portion 362a contacts the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 360 of the second gear 352 when in the excited state (off), and the front turning portion 305 moves to the first turning position. When this occurs, the fitting portion 362a is fitted into the locking recess 361 by the urging force of the compression spring 356b, and the rotation of the second gear 352 is restricted, that is, locked. Thus, the front solenoid 356, the lock member 362, the lock recess 361 of the second gear 352, and the effect control CPU 120 constitute a first lock means.

  In addition, since a predetermined gap (play) is provided between the locking recess 361 and the fitting portion 362a, the fitting portion 362a is fitted into the locking recess 361 and the second gear 352 is locked. In this case, the second gear 352, that is, the front turning portion 305 can be slightly turned (finely moved) in the forward / reverse rotation direction.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, in a state where the fitting portion 362a is fitted in the locking recess 361 (locked state), the second gear 352 is rotated clockwise as viewed from the front (the rear surface in FIG. 7B). When rotating in the counterclockwise direction, the plunger 356a is pressed in the direction intersecting the axis by the locking recess 361, but it is difficult to rotate, but counterclockwise in front view (as shown in FIG. 7B). When rotating in the (clockwise as viewed from the back) direction, the plunger 356a is pressed in the contraction direction by the inner wall of the locking recess 361, so that it is easy to rotate.

Further, a compression spring 357b is provided around the outer periphery of the plunger 357a of the rear solenoid 357, and when the rear solenoid 357 is in an excited state (off), the plunger 357a is biased in a direction protruding from the main body.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, the rear solenoid 357 is provided so that the fitting portion 363a contacts the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 346 of the base member 330 when the rear solenoid 357 is in an excited state (off). When the rear turning portion 306 moves to the first turning position, the fitting portion 363a is fitted into the locking recess 348 by the urging force of the compression spring 357b. In the bulging portion 347, the upper portion of the locking concave portion 348 protrudes slightly outside the lower portion, and the rear turning portion 306 turns clockwise as seen from the front as described later. When positioned, the fitting portion 363a comes into contact with the inner upper surface of the locking recess 348 so as to be securely fitted. Thus, the rear solenoid 357, the lock member 363, the locking recess 348 of the cylindrical portion 346, and the effect control CPU 120 constitute second locking means.

  In addition, since a predetermined gap (play) is provided between the locking recess 348 and the fitting portion 363a, the fitting portion 363a is fitted into the locking recess 348 and the cylindrical portion 346 is rotated. In the restricted state, that is, in the locked state in which the rear rotation unit 306 is locked at the first rotation position, the rear rotation unit 306 can be slightly rotated (finely moved) in the forward / reverse rotation direction.

  In this way, when the fitting portion 363a is fitted into the locking recess 348, a predetermined gap is formed between the locking recess 348 and the fitting portion 363a, so that the fitting state (locking The rear rotating portion 306 may be slightly rotated while maintaining the state), or the rear rotating portion 306 may be slightly rotated by moving the lock member 363.

In the following, an example of a movable effect performed after the elevating body 302 has moved to the lower position will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are arranged so as to be substantially parallel to the horizontally long rotation base unit 304 at the first rotation position that is the initial drive position. Yes. At the first rotation position, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the rotation motor 350 is not energized (off) based on the fact that the first rotation position sensor 354 is on and the second rotation position sensor 355 is off. The front solenoid 356 and the rear solenoid 357 are in a non-excited state (off) (see FIG. 16).

  Since the front solenoid 356 and the rear solenoid 357 are in a non-excited state (off) at the first rotation position, the fitting portion 362a of the lock member 362 is fitted into the locking recess 361 by the urging force of the compression spring 356b. The front turning portion 305 is locked (turning is restricted). Further, the fitting portion 363a of the lock member 363 is fitted into the locking concave portion 348 by the biasing force of the compression spring 357b, and the rear turning portion 306 is locked (turning is restricted). That is, the first rotation position is a lock position (rotation restriction position) between the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306.

  Next, when turning the front turning portion 305, the effect control CPU 120 first turns only the front solenoid 356 into an excited state (on) and retracts the fitting portion 362a of the lock member 362 from the locking recess 361 to lock the front turning portion 305. In addition, the rotation motor 350 is energized (on) and the drive shaft 350a is rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the front (see ta1 in FIG. 16). Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the rotation of the drive shaft 350a causes the front rotation portion 305 to rotate about 90 degrees clockwise from the first rotation position, and the second rotation position sensor 355 is turned on. At this point, the rotation motor 350 is turned off (see ta2 in FIG. 16). Here, the front rotation unit 305 is disposed at a second rotation position substantially orthogonal to the rotation base unit 304.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 sets the rear solenoid 357 in an excited state (on), retracts the fitting portion 363a of the lock member 363 from the lock recess 361, releases the lock state, and energizes the rotation motor 350. (On) and the drive shaft 350a is rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the front (see ta3 in FIG. 16). As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, the front turning portion 305 starts to turn clockwise as viewed from the front, but the guide holes 334a and 334b turn according to the turning of the front turning portion 305, and the guide hole 334a is turned. , 334b, the guide rollers 343a and 343b abut on the rear end of the rotation direction, and the rear rotation unit 306 starts to rotate together with the front rotation unit 305.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the effect control CPU 120 decelerates the rotation motor 350 when the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are rotated by a predetermined rotation (for example, 5 rotations) (see ta4 in FIG. 16). The front solenoid 356 and the rear solenoid 357 are not energized after the first rotation position sensor 354 is turned from on to off after the deceleration is started (after the front rotation unit 305 has passed the first rotation position). (Off). As a result, the fitting portion 363a of the lock member 363 protrudes toward the cylindrical portion 346, slidably contacts with a portion other than the locking recess 348 on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 346, and the fitting portion 362a of the lock member 362 is the second portion. The gear 352 protrudes toward the cylindrical portion 360 and is in sliding contact with a portion other than the locking recess 361 on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 360. The fitting portion 363a of the lock member 363 rides on the bulging portion 347 and approaches the locking recess 348 when the front turning portion 305 approaches the second turning position.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 puts the rotation motor 350 into a non-energized state (off) when the second rotation position sensor 355 is turned on (see ta5 in FIG. 16). Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 12, the front turning unit 305 stops at the second turning position, and the rear turning unit stops at the first turning position. Here, the fitting portion 363a of the locking member 363 is fitted to the locking concave portion 348 by the urging force of the compression spring 357b when the locking concave portion 348 is rotated to the corresponding position. 306 is locked at the first rotation position.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 turns on the turning motor 350 and turns the drive shaft 350a clockwise when viewed from the front, and turns (reverses) the front turning portion 305 counterclockwise when viewed from the front. . Then, when the first rotation position sensor 354 is turned on by turning about 90 degrees, the turning motor 350 is turned off (see ta6 in FIG. 16), and the front turning portion 305 is moved to the first position. Stop at one rotation position (see FIG. 13). At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, the fitting portion 362a of the locking member 362 is fitted into the locking recess 361 by the urging force of the compression spring 356b, and the front turning portion 305 is locked at the first turning position. It is said.

  As a result, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 stop at the lock position, which is the first rotation position. However, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 have the first rotation. Lock assist operation control for reciprocating the front rotation portion 305 and the rear rotation portion 306 in the vicinity of the first rotation position so that the lock members 362 and 363 are securely locked over a predetermined period from when the position is stopped. I do.

  The effect control CPU 120 performs a predetermined period (for example, a period from ta6 to ta7 in FIG. 16) after stopping the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 at the first rotation position as lock assist operation control. The drive shaft 350a of the rotation motor 350 is controlled to rotate forward and backward, and the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are reciprocated in the vicinity of the first rotation position. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, after the front turning unit 305 and the rear turning unit 306 are rotated clockwise from the first rotation position by a predetermined angle, as shown in FIG. 15, The reciprocating operation of rotating (reversing) a predetermined angle counterclockwise when viewed from the front is repeated a plurality of times (for example, three times).

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the effect control CPU 120 rotates the front rotation unit 305 from the second rotation position to the first rotation position (M1), and then moves the front rotation unit 305 to the first time. It is rotated about 18 degrees clockwise from the moving position in front view (M2). Next, after rotating about 24 degrees counterclockwise from the front (M3), it is rotated about 18 degrees clockwise from the front (M4). Further, after rotating about 18 degrees counterclockwise from the front (M5), it is rotated about 12 degrees clockwise from the front (M6), and finally about 6 degrees counterclockwise from the front. (M7) to stop the rotation motor 350 from being driven.

  Further, in this embodiment, the front turning portion 305 is turned (inverted) about 18 degrees clockwise from the first turning position (M2) and then turned about 24 degrees counterclockwise from the front. Move. That is, the first rotation position is rotated to a passing position exceeding about 6 degrees. As a result, for example, the effect control CPU 120 performs control for stopping the front rotation unit 305 at the first rotation position by the rotation motor 350, as shown in FIG. FIG. 16B shows the case where the concave portion 361 is not locked because it does not rotate to the fitting position due to some factor (for example, molding error, assembly error, malfunction of the compression springs 356b and 357b). As shown in FIG. 16C, after the front turning portion 305 is reversed to the second turning position side, the front turning portion 305 is turned to the passing position to fit into the locking recess 361. Since the mating portion 362a is easily fitted, the locked state can be more reliably achieved.

  In addition, since the reciprocating operation is performed a plurality of times in this way, even if the lock control operation is not locked by the first rotation to the first rotation position, the first rotation position to the second and subsequent rotations is performed. Since it may be in a locked state by turning, it becomes possible to be in a locked state more reliably. Moreover, what is necessary is just to be made into a locked state by at least any rotation operation | movement among the rotation operation | movement (M1, M3, M5, M7) to a 1st rotation position.

  Further, in this embodiment, the front turning portion 305 is turned from the first turning position to the passing position, so that the rear turning portion 306 is provided at the turning rear end portions of the guide holes 334a and 334b of the front turning portion 305. The guide rollers 343a and 343b come into contact with each other to slightly rotate the rear rotation unit 306 from the first rotation position to the passing position side. And when the front rotation part 305 rotates from a passage position to the 2nd rotation position side, it returns to the 1st rotation position side. As described above, the rear rotation unit 306 does not directly perform the lock assisting operation by driving the rotation motor 350 unlike the front rotation unit 305, but the lock assisting operation follows the rotation of the front rotation unit 305. Therefore, even when the fitting portion 363a of the lock member 363 is not fitted into the locking recess 348 when the first rotation position is restored, the lock state is brought into a locked state. It is like that.

  Note that the swing width (rotation angle) of the front rotation unit 305 in the lock assist operation control is not limited to the above, and is, for example, at least between the first rotation position and the second rotation position. Although it is sufficient that the reciprocating operation is performed, it is preferable to set the swing width so as not to apply a large load that damages the rotation unit 322 (for example, within a rotation range of about 30 degrees).

  In addition, the effect control CPU 120 stops the front turning unit 305 at the first turning position, then turns the second turning position toward the second turning position, and then reverses the first turning position a plurality of times. Although it is repeated, the amplitude of this reciprocating operation is gradually reduced (M2> M4> M6). By doing so, since the reciprocating operation can be naturally converged, the load applied to the rotating unit 322 can be reduced as compared with the case where the reciprocating operation having a large swing width is performed a plurality of times.

  In this embodiment, the swing width of the reciprocating operation is gradually reduced as described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the swing width of the reciprocating operation may be the same. Alternatively, it may be gradually increased. The reciprocating operation is not limited to three times as described above, and may be once, twice, or four times or more.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when reversing in the reciprocating operation, the first rotation position is passed to the passing position, but the present invention is not limited to this, and FIG. As in Modification 1 shown in FIG. 17B, the reciprocation may be performed between the first rotation position and the second rotation position, or as in Modification 2 shown in FIG. You may make it reciprocate between a 1st rotation position and a passage position.

  Next, operation modes of the lifting body 302 and the moving body 402 will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. 19A is an explanatory view showing a state where the lifting body is in the upper position and the moving body is in the forward position, and FIG. 19B is an explanatory view showing a state where the lifting body is in the intermediate position and the moving body is in the forward position. (C) is explanatory drawing which shows the state which has a raising / lowering body in a downward position and a moving body in a back position. FIG. 20A is a schematic front view showing a state in which the elevating body is in contact with the moving body when it is raised, and FIG. 20B is a schematic side view.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, when the elevating body 302 is in the upper position, the moving body 402 is in the front position on the front side of the elevating body 302, and the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are the first rotation. Placed in position. Further, the elevating body 302 and the moving body 402 are arranged on the upper front side of the effect display device 5. Here, when the production control CPU 120 lowers the elevating body 302 by the elevating motors 310L, 310R, the elevating body 302 rotates while descending, but the rotation base unit 304, the front rotation unit 305, and the rear rotation unit. 306 does not contact the front moving body 402.

  Next, when the effect control CPU 120 passes through the intermediate position shown in FIG. 19B and descends to the lower position shown in FIG. 19C, it stops driving the lifting motors 310L and 310R. Note that the lifting body 302 is superimposed on the front side of the effect display device 5 from the intermediate position to the lower position. Then, after the elevating body 302 moves to the lower position or when the elevating body 302 moves below the lower end of the moving body 402, the moving body 402 is moved from the front position to the rear position.

  By moving the moving body 402 to the rear position, the moving body 402 is arranged behind the front rotating unit 305 and the rear rotating unit 306, so the effect control CPU 120 excites the front solenoid 356 and the rear solenoid 357. Then, the locked state is released, and the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are rotated by the rotation motor 350. At this time, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 protrude upward from the rotation base unit 304, but do not contact the moving body 402.

  Further, when the lifting body 302 is in the upper position, the moving body 402 is disposed in front of the lifting body 302, and when the lifting body 302 is lowered to the lower position, the lifting body 302 is disposed in front of the moving body 402. It is possible to make it easier for the player to see the elevator and the moving body 402 according to the situation.

  In addition, when the effect control CPU 120 moves the lifting body 302 from the lower position to the upper position, as shown in FIG. 19C, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are set to the first rotation position. After each is locked at the first rotation position, the moving body 402 is moved from the rear position to the front position, and then the elevating body 302 is moved upward. Therefore, the lift body 302 and the moving body 402 are not in contact with each other as in the case of descending.

  However, when the lifting and lowering body 302 is in the lower position, when the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are not locked at the first rotation position, for example, as shown in FIG. Since the front turning portion 305 is inclined with respect to the turning base portion 304, as shown in FIG. 20B, when moving further upward from the intermediate position, the moving portion 402 comes into contact with the moving body 402 and moves upward. There is a risk of being regulated.

  As described above, when the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are not locked at the first rotation position, they do not contact the moving body 402 when moving upward, but the front rotation unit When the 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are not locked at the first rotation position, the movement may be hindered by the contact in the configuration that contacts the moving body 402 when moving upward. Therefore, as described above, the CPU 120 for effect control performs the lock assist operation control when the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are rotated and then stopped at the first rotation position. Since the locked state can be ensured, the contact as described above can be avoided.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 as movable bodies provided to be rotatable, the front rotation unit 305, and Locking means (for example, the front solenoid 356, the lock member 362, the second gear) that locks the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 when the rear rotation unit 306 rotates to the first rotation position that is the lock position. 352, a locking solenoid 357, a locking member 363, a locking recess 348 in the cylindrical portion 346, and an effect control CPU 120). The effect control CPU 120 includes a front rotation unit 305 and a rear rotation unit 306. Is stopped at the first rotation position, and then the drive shaft 350a of the rotation motor 350 is rotated forward and backward over a predetermined period (for example, the period from ta6 to ta7 in FIG. 16). It performs a click auxiliary operation control, reciprocates in the vicinity of the first rotational position and a rear pivot portion 306 and the last movement section 305.

  By doing in this way, when the front turning part 305 and the rear turning part 306 are moved to the first turning position, even if the lock means is not locked due to some trouble, the lock assist operation control is performed. Therefore, it can be suitably locked.

  In addition, as the lock assist operation control, the effect control CPU 120 stops the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 at the first rotation position, and then performs a predetermined period (for example, from ta6 to ta7 in FIG. 16). The first rotation position by controlling the drive shaft 350a of the rotation motor 350 to rotate forward and backward over a period of time and reciprocating the front rotation part 305 and the rear rotation part 306 in the vicinity of the first rotation position. Since the rotation is performed again, it can be locked more suitably.

  In addition, since the front turning part 305 and the rear turning part 306 of the lifting body 302 are provided with a predetermined gap (play) between the locking recess 361 and the fitting part 362a, the fitting part 362a When the second gear 352 is in the locked state by being fitted in the locking recess 361, the second gear 352, that is, the front turning portion 305 can be slightly turned (finely moved) in the forward and reverse turning directions. . By doing in this way, it can avoid that a load is applied to the drive mechanism of the rotation unit 322 by lock | rock assistance operation | movement.

  In addition, the front rotation unit 305 and at least a rear rotation unit 306 different from the front rotation unit 305 are provided, and first locking means for locking the front rotation unit 305 (for example, a front solenoid 356, a lock member 362, a second member). Second locking means (for example, a rear solenoid 357, a lock member 363, a locking recess 348 in the cylindrical portion 346, and an effect control CPU 120) for locking the locking recess 361 of the gear 352 and the effect control CPU 120) and the rear rotation unit 306. ) At least. By doing in this way, since the front rotation part 305 and the rear rotation part 306 can be made into a locked state separately, the position from the 1st rotation position of the front rotation part 305 and the rear rotation part 306 is demonstrated. Deviation can be suitably prevented.

  Moreover, the raising / lowering body 302 which has the front rotation part 305 and the rear rotation part 306 is provided so that a movement between the upper position and the lower position different from this upper position is possible. When the effect control CPU 120 descends to the lower position shown in FIG. 19C, it stops driving the elevating motors 310L and 310R. Then, after the elevating body 302 moves to the lower position or when the elevating body 302 moves below the lower end of the moving body 402, the moving body 402 is moved from the front position to the rear position. As a result, the moving body 402 is disposed behind the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306, so that the effect control CPU 120 releases the locked state and the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation by the rotation motor 350. The part 306 is rotated. When the front rotating unit 305 and the rear rotating unit 306 are not locked at the first rotating position, they do not come into contact with the moving body 402 when moving upward. When the rear rotating portion 306 is not locked at the first rotating position, the rear rotating portion 306 is configured to contact the moving body 402 when moving upward.

  By doing in this way, even if the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are operated in the lower position, the lock unit is moved to the upper position after being locked, so that contact with the moving body 402 can be suitably avoided. it can.

  The moving body 402 is provided so as to be movable between a front position and a rear position. When the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are in the upper position, the movable body 402 is in the front position. The rotation unit 306 moves from the front position to the rear position in accordance with the movement from the front position to the rear position. By doing in this way, the direction which wants to show the raising / lowering body 302 and the moving body 402 according to a condition can be made easy to see from the player side.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the front turning portion 305 and the rear turning portion 306 as movable bodies are provided so as to be rotatable about the turning shaft 333 and are locked at the first turning position. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the movable body is not limited to be provided to be rotatable, but is a movable body provided to be movable in a linear or curved shape. May be. Further, the locked state is not limited to a state where the movable body is fixed at a predetermined location, but may be a state where only movement in one direction among a plurality is restricted.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the front rotating unit 305 and the rear rotating unit 306 as movable bodies are directly reciprocated only by the front rotating unit 305 when the rotating motor 350 is driven in the lock assist operation control. The rear turning portion 306 reciprocates following the front turning portion 305 via a connecting means including guide holes 334a and 334b and guide rollers 343a and 343b (or guide shafts 335a and 335b and guide holes 344a and 344b). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the rear rotation unit 306 is provided to be rotatable by a rotation motor 350 or a drive source or the like separate from the rotation motor 350, You may make it reciprocate by this separate drive source.

  In the present embodiment, the front rotating unit 305 and the rear rotating unit 306 are provided as movable bodies. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only one movable body may be used. You may have 3 or more several movable bodies. In addition, when a plurality of movable bodies are provided, and each of the movable bodies is locked at the lock position, all of the movable bodies may perform a lock assist operation near the lock position, or a part of the movable bodies may be moved. Body, for example, a movable body having a structure that is less likely to be locked than other movable bodies, or other effect members or structures such as the movable body 402 unless the locked state is set like the front rotation unit 305. The lock assisting operation may be performed only on a movable body that is easily touched.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are locked at the first rotation position, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the second You may make it be in a locked state in a rotation position or other places.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first locking means that locks the front rotation unit 305 locks the second gear 352 that transmits the driving force of the rotation motor 350 to the front rotation unit 305. However, it may be set in a locked state by being fitted to a predetermined portion of the front rotating portion 305. In addition, the second locking means that locks the rear rotation unit 306 is in the locked state near the rotation center of the rear rotation unit 306, but the driving force of the drive source is applied to the rear rotation unit 306. The operation of a part of a drive mechanism such as a gear that transmits to the motor may be restricted.

  In this embodiment, as an example of the locking means, for example, a front solenoid 356, a lock member 362, a lock recess 361 of the second gear 352, a rear solenoid 357, a lock member 363, a lock recess 348 of the cylindrical portion 346, Although the production control CPU 120 has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and as described above, the front rotation part 305 and the rear rotation part 306 are locked by fitting the convex part into the concave part. The lock means is not limited to the above-described lock means as long as it can change between a locked state that restricts the operation of the movable body and a released state that releases the restriction.

  For example, in this embodiment, the fitting portions 362a and 363a are fitted to the locking recesses 361 and 348 by the urging force of the compression springs 356b and 357b, and the locking state is achieved. The lock member may be moved to a locked state by a drive source such as a motor 357 or a motor.

  Further, in this embodiment, as the lock assist operation control of the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 which are movable bodies are reciprocated near the first rotation position. Although the control for rotating the drive shaft 350a of the rotation motor 350 in the forward and reverse directions is described in the above, the present invention is not limited to this, and a previous drive source separate from the rotation motor 350 for operating the movable body is used. It is good also as control which makes the moving part 305 and the back rotation part 306 reciprocate.

  In this embodiment, as the lock assist operation control of the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306, the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306, which are movable bodies, are reciprocated in the vicinity of the first rotation position. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the lock assist operation control is a control in which the front rotation unit 305 and the rear rotation unit 306 are vibrated by a vibration motor or the like separate from the rotation motor 350. There may be control which rotates the raising / lowering body 302 whole.

  Further, the lock assist operation control may be control for operating the lock members 362 and 363 by repeating excitation and non-excitation of the front solenoid 356 and the rear solenoid 357 as the lock means.

  Further, in this embodiment, after performing the operations shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, the reciprocating operation shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 is performed every time, but the present invention is not limited to this, The lock assist operation control may be performed when a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, a detection unit or the like for detecting that the lock state has been set is provided, and this is predetermined when it is not detected that the lock state has been detected despite the execution of the movable effect of performing the operations shown in FIGS. The condition may be satisfied. Further, the predetermined condition may be satisfied when the movable effect is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, five times), or when the supply of power to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started (at the time of activation), the predetermined condition is satisfied. It may be established.

  Furthermore, it may be established when the CPU 103 executes a movable effect that performs the operations shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 while the time reduction control or the probability variation control is being executed. That is, when executing the movable effect in the super reach effect, the effect control CPU 120 has a higher probability of making a big hit than when the probability change control is being performed, so the frequency of executing the super reach effect is increased. Thus, the predetermined condition may be satisfied when the execution frequency is increased.
