  The gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 swings the decorative body after moving the decorative body, but a gaming machine that can further improve the effect of the effect is desired.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the effect.

(1) In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine according to the present application is a gaming machine (for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1) that performs a predetermined game, and is movable between a first position and a second position. 1 decorative member (for example, as shown in FIG. 19, a decorative body 358 that moves between a retracted position (FIG. 19A) and an advanced position (FIG. 19C)) is provided on the first decorative member. A plurality of second decorative members (for example, left and right movable members 353 and 355 provided for one decorative body 358) that are displaceable with respect to the first decorative member. When the member is displaced with respect to the first decorative member, the left and right movable members 353 and 355 are moved in the first state in which the visibility is suppressed by the first decorative member (for example, as shown in FIG. 19B). A state hidden behind the decorative body 358) and more visible than the first state. It is possible to change between the second state with high performance (for example, as shown in FIG. 19C, where the left and right movable members 353 and 355 are positioned on the left and right outer sides of the decorative body 358 and visible from the front). The first decorative member moves between the first position and the second position when suggesting that the first decorative member is in an advantageous state for the player (for example, a decorative body when a reach effect is performed). 358).
According to such a configuration, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can improve the effect.
(2) The gaming machine of (2) is a gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that performs a predetermined game, and is pivotally supported by a base part (for example, the rear base part 310), A first support member having a guided portion at the opposite end (for example, a first arm 330 to which the guided portion 350 is attached to the guide shaft 331), an end portion pivotally supported by the base portion, A second support member provided with a guide part for guiding the guided part of the first support member at the opposite end (for example, a second arm 340 provided with a guide slit 341 for guiding the guided part 350). And a decorative member (for example, a decorative body 358) supported by the first support member and the second support member and moving between a retracted position and an advanced position by rotation of the first support member and the second support member. And left and right movable members 353 and 35 The guide portion of the second support member moves the guided portion of the first support member from the first position to the second position when the decorative member moves from the retracted position to the advanced position. A rack gear is formed in the vicinity of the second position (for example, a rack gear 341a is formed on the front end side of the guide slit 341), for example, and the first support is provided. The guided portion of the member has an engaging portion that engages with the rack gear (for example, gear teeth 350a are formed on the guided portion 350), and the decorative member has an engaging portion that engages with the rack gear. The movable movable parts 353 and 355 are moved in the left-right direction with respect to the decorative body 358 by rotating the engaged movable part 351a and the rack gear 341a. Such as dynamic), characterized in that.
According to such a configuration, the guided portion of the first support member is guided from the first position to the second position of the guide portion of the second support member when the decorative member moves from the retracted position to the advanced position, When the guide part moves to the vicinity of the second position of the guide part, the engaging part of the guided part engages with the rack gear of the guide part, and the decorative movable part of the decorative member operates. Thereby, the decoration movable part can be operated without providing a drive source or the like on the decoration member, and the effect of the decoration member can be improved without increasing the weight of the decoration member.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment and shows an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly composed of a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a gaming board surface and a gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. The game board 2 is formed with a game area surrounded by guide rails and having a substantially circular outer edge. In this game area, a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined hitting ball launching device and driven.

  A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided at predetermined positions of the game board 2 (on the lower right edge of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). Each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B is composed of, for example, 7-segment or dot matrix LEDs (light emitting diodes) and the like. Special symbols (also referred to as “special graphics”), which are a plurality of types of identification information (special identification information) that can be displayed, are variably displayed (variable display). For example, each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B variably displays a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", and the like. To do. The special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", and the like. However, for example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns in which the combination of the LED to be turned on and the LED to be turned off in the 7-segment LED may be set in advance as a plurality of types of special symbols. Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as "second special symbol". .

  An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the image display device 5, the first special symbol variable display by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol variable display by the second special symbol display device 4B in the special symbol game respectively correspond to the variable display. For example, in a decorative symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display units such as three, decorative symbols that are a plurality of types of identification information (decorative identification information) that can be identified are variably displayed. This variable display of decorative designs is also included in the variable display game.

  As an example, “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are arranged in the display area of the image display device 5. And in response to the start of one of the changes in the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B in the special symbol game, In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, the variation of decorative symbols (for example, vertical scroll display) is started. Thereafter, when the fixed special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display result in the special symbol game, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the image display device 5 are displayed. Then, the finalized decorative symbol (final stop symbol) that is the variable display result of the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed.

  As described above, in the display area of the image display device 5, a special game using the first special graphic in the first special symbol display device 4A or a special graphic using the second special graphic in the second special symbol display device 4B is used. In synchronism with the figure game, variable display of a plurality of types of decorative symbols that can be identified is performed, and a definite decorative symbol that is a variable display result is derived and displayed (or simply referred to as “derivation”). In addition, for example, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as a special symbol and a decorative symbol means that identification information such as a decorative symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as a complete stop display or a final stop display) and the variable display is ended. . On the other hand, during the variable display from the start of the variable display of the decorative pattern until the fixed decorative pattern that is the variable display result is derived and displayed, the variation speed of the decorative pattern becomes “0”, The symbol may be displayed in a stationary state, for example, in a display state that causes slight shaking or expansion / contraction. Such a display state is also called a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not displayed deterministically, the player can recognize that the variation of the decorative pattern due to the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include displaying the decorative symbols completely stopped for a time shorter than a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) without causing slight shaking or expansion / contraction.

  The decorative symbols variably displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R include, for example, eight types of symbols (alphanumeric characters “1” to “8” or Chinese characters). It may be any combination of numbers, English letters, eight character images related to a predetermined motif, a combination of numbers, letters, symbols, and character images. Character images may be, for example, people, animals, other objects, or , A decorative image showing a symbol such as a character or other arbitrary figure). A corresponding symbol number is assigned to each of the decorative symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “8” are assigned to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”, respectively. Note that the number of decorative symbols is not limited to eight, and may be any number as long as an appropriate number of combinations such as a jackpot combination or a combination that is lost can be configured (for example, seven types or nine types).

  After the decorative symbol variable display is started, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are displayed until the fixed decorative symbol that is the variable display result is derived and displayed. In FIG. 5, for example, scroll display is performed such that the symbol number sequentially flows from the top to the bottom from the smallest to the largest, and when the decorative symbol having the largest symbol number (for example, “8”) is displayed, The decorative symbol having the smallest symbol number (for example, “1”) is displayed. Alternatively, in at least one of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (for example, the “left” decorative symbol display area 5L), the symbols are scrolled from the largest symbol number to the smallest symbol symbol. When the decorative design having the smallest number is displayed, the decorative design having the largest design number may be displayed.

  In the display area of the image display device 5, a start winning storage display area 5H is arranged. In the start winning memory display area 5H, a hold memory display for displaying the variable display hold number corresponding to the special figure game (special figure hold memory number) is specified. Here, the variable display suspension corresponding to the special game is that the game ball passes through the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B. Generated based on the start winning by entering (entering). That is, the start condition (also referred to as “execution condition”) for executing a variable display game such as a special figure game or a variable display of decorative symbols has been established, but a variable display game based on the previously established start condition is being executed. When the start condition that allows the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, the variable display corresponding to the established start condition is suspended. Done.

  For example, a special game start condition (first start condition) using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A due to the occurrence of the first start prize that the game ball passes (enters) through the first start prize opening. ) Is satisfied, if the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure based on the establishment of the first start condition is not satisfied, the first special figure holding storage number is 1. Addition (increment) is made, and execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended. In addition, when the second start winning that the game ball passes (enters) through the second start winning opening is generated, the start condition of the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B (second start condition) ) Is established, if the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure based on the establishment of the second start condition is not established, the second special figure holding memory number is 1. Addition (increment) is made, and execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is suspended. On the other hand, when the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is started, the first special figure holding memory number is decremented by 1 (decrement), and the special figure game using the second special figure is executed. Is started, the second special figure reserved memory number is decremented by 1 (decremented).

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

  A display for displaying the number of reserved special figure memories may be provided together with the start winning memory display area 5H or instead of the start winning memory display area 5H. In the example shown in FIG. 1, together with the start winning memory display area 5H, the first hold for displaying the special figure hold memory number in an identifiable manner on the upper part of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. A display 25A and a second hold display 25B are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the first special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. Each of the first hold indicator 25A and the second hold indicator 25B has a number (for example, 4) corresponding to an upper limit value (for example, “4”) in each of the first special figure hold memory number and the second special figure hold memory number, for example. LED).

  Below the game area on the game board 2, an ordinary winning ball device 6A and an ordinary variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The normal winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area (first starting area) that is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member, for example. The normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is an electric tulip-type accessory (ordinary electric accessory) having a pair of movable wing pieces that are changed into a normal open state that is a vertical position and an expanded open state that is a tilt position by a solenoid (not shown). And a second start winning opening is formed in the start area (second start area).

  As an example, in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the movable wing piece is in the vertical position when the solenoid for the ordinary electric accessory is in the off state, so that the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning opening. It is normally open. On the other hand, in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the game ball passes through the second start winning opening (entrance) by tilting control in which the movable blade piece is tilted when the solenoid for the ordinary electric accessory is in the on state. ) Easy to expand. In the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, although the game ball can enter the second start winning opening even in the normal open state, there is a possibility that the game ball may enter more than in the expanded open state. You may comprise so that it may become low. Alternatively, the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B may be configured such that the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening in the normally open state, for example, by closing the second starting winning opening. In this way, the second start winning port as the second start area is in an expanded open state in which game balls easily pass (enter) and in a normally open state in which game balls are difficult to pass (enter) or cannot pass (enter). To change.

  A game ball that has passed (entered) a first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A and a second starting winning opening formed in the ordinary variable winning ball apparatus 6B is, for example, a first start opening switch (not shown) 2 Detected by starter switch. Based on the detection of the game ball by the first start switch, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the first special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”). ") If the following, the first start condition is satisfied. Based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port switch, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the second special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4”). ]) If the following, the second starting condition is satisfied. The number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch and the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port switch are: The number may be the same or different.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid (not shown) for the large winning opening door, and the big winning as a specific region that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Forming a mouth.

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

  A game ball that has passed (entered) through the big prize opening is detected by, for example, a count switch (not shown). Based on the detection of the game ball by the count switch, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. In this way, when the game ball passes (enters) through the large winning opening opened in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, the gaming ball passes through other winning openings such as the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening, for example. More prize balls are paid out than when passing (entering). Therefore, if the special prize winning ball device 7 is in the open state, the game ball can enter the special prize winning opening, which is a first state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, when the special prize winning device 7 is closed in the special variable prize winning ball device 7, it becomes impossible or difficult for the player to get a prize ball by passing (entering) the gaming ball into the special prize winning port. This is a disadvantageous second state.

  A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the left side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of 7 segments, dot matrix LEDs, and the like, like the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and a plurality of types of identification information different from the special symbols. Is displayed (variably displayed) in a variable manner. Such variable display of normal symbols is called a general game (also referred to as “normal game”).

  Above the normal symbol display 20, a universal figure holding display 25 </ b> C is provided. The general-purpose hold indicator 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays the general-purpose hold storage number as the number of effective passing balls that have passed through the passing gate 41.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill for changing the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a number of obstacle nails. In addition, as a winning opening different from the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, and the large winning opening, for example, a single or plural general winning openings that are always kept in a certain open state by a predetermined ball receiving member are provided. May be. In this case, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls may be paid out as a prize ball based on the fact that a game ball that has entered one of the general prize openings is detected by a predetermined general prize ball switch. In the lowermost part of the game area, there is provided an out port through which game balls that have not entered any winning port are taken.

  Further, an inner frame 40 is attached to the center of the game area on the game board 2 so as to surround the variable display device 5. The inner frame 40 is formed in a circular frame shape and constitutes a part of the board surface of the game board 2. In this embodiment, the inner frame 40 is formed so as to protrude from the game surface into which a game ball in the game area is driven to the front side (player side). It flows down outside the inner frame 40. Further, a warp inlet 41 is formed in the upper right portion of the inner frame 40, and a part of the game balls that are driven into the game area enter the inner frame 40 from the warp inlet 41, and the inner frame 40.

  The light emitting substrate 153 is provided with a plurality of light emitters 153a (for example, LEDs). The light emitting substrate 153 is supported by the substrate support 151 and causes the plurality of light emitters 153a to emit light according to a signal transmitted through a wiring (not shown). The plurality of light emitters 153 a are arranged in accordance with the symbols formed on the decorative plate 160. Note that the plurality of light emitters 153a may be arranged at regular intervals.

  The first light diffusing plate 154 and the second light diffusing plate 155 are formed of a translucent member (for example, resin) and are disposed on the front surface of the light emitting substrate 153 to diffuse light from the light emitter 153a. As the first light diffusing plate 154, for example, a diffusing prism sheet having a concavo-convex shape formed on the surface by knurling or the like can be used.

  The second light diffusing plate 155 is, for example, a paint (for example, translucent material) that injects a translucent member (for example, resin) into a mold and diffuses light over the entire surface except for the concave portion 158 of the light diffusing plate 156. The white resin paint having a slag is applied. 5A and 5B are views showing the second light diffusion plate 155, where FIG. 5A is a rear view, FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view taken along line bb in FIG. 5A, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of light diffusion plates 156 are formed on the back surface of the second light diffusion plate 155 so as to correspond to the arrangement of the plurality of light emitters 153 a of the light emission substrate 153. The plurality of light diffusion plates 156 include a convex portion 157 that protrudes backward so as to cover the periphery of the light emitter 153a, and a concave portion 158 that is recessed forward at the center of the convex portion 157 (a position corresponding to the front of the light emitter 153a). Have The convex portion 157 and the concave portion 158 are formed in a circular shape centering on the light emitter 153a, and the convex portion 157 has a height that decreases with increasing distance from the light emitter 153a. As shown in FIG. 5 (b), (c)). In addition, the recess 158 is formed such that an end portion 158b on the bottom surface side (front side) of the side surface portion 158a is curved toward the center, and a bottom surface 158c is curved rearward. In the second light diffusing plate 155, paint is applied except for the concave portion 158 of the light diffusing plate 156 (except for the periphery of the light emitting body 153a), so that the light from the light emitting body 153a is efficiently transmitted by the light diffusing plate 156. Well pointed forward. The light emitted from the light emitter 153a is diffused by the second light diffusing plate 154 and then further diffused by the first light diffusing plate 154, so that the decorative plate 160 can be illuminated evenly. 160 decoration effects can be improved.

  The second light diffusing plate 155 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 155a protruding rearward, and the plurality of positioning protrusions 155a are fitted into a plurality of positioning recesses 153b formed on the light emitting substrate 153. The light emitting substrate 153 and the second light diffusion substrate 155 are positioned. Thus, by positioning at a plurality of locations, the alignment between the plurality of light emitters 153a and the light diffusing plate 156 can be made accurate, and the decorative plate 160 can be illuminated evenly. Further, even if the decorative body 155 is slightly deformed, it is possible to prevent the positions of the plurality of light emitters 153a and the light diffusion plate 156 from shifting.

  The first effect moving mechanism 100 is not limited to the first light diffusing plate 154 and the second light diffusing plate 155, but only one of the first light diffusing plate 154 and the second light diffusing plate 155. You may have it or you may not have both. Further, instead of or in addition to the first light diffusion plate 154 and the second light diffusion plate 155, a component that diffuses other light may be used. Furthermore, the second light diffusion plate 155 may be disposed in front of the first light diffusion plate 154 without being limited to the one in which the first light diffusion plate 154 is disposed in front of the second light diffusion plate 155. .

  The decorative plate 160 is disposed in front of the second light diffusion plate 155 and constitutes the front surface of the decorative body 150. The decorative plate 160 is formed, for example, by injecting a translucent resin or the like into a mold, and the front surface is formed as a translucent surface. The decorative plate 160 has a metal thin film layer formed on the front surface of aluminum or the like, and is configured to be translucent to reflect light from the outside and transmit light from the inside. Thereby, the decorative board 160 can be made to emit light by the light from the light emitter 153a, and can improve the appearance when the light emitter 153a does not emit light. 6A and 6B are diagrams showing the decorative body 150, where FIG. 6A is a front view, FIG. 6B is a bottom view, and FIGS. 6C and 6D are enlarged views of the left side and the right side of FIG. FIG. 5E is a perspective view showing an enlarged symbol part (translucent part) 161 formed on the decorative plate 160 from the lower front side. As shown in FIG. 6, the decorative plate 160 includes a plurality of (for example, four) symbol portions (translucent portions) 161 to 164 and a planar symbol portion 165 provided above the symbol portions 161 to 164.

  The symbol portions (translucent portions) 161 to 164 are connected in a predetermined direction (for example, the left-right direction), and represent identification information by the shape of the translucent surface that is the front surface thereof. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the four symbol portions 161 to 164 represent the characters “h”, “h”, “n”, and “su”, respectively. The translucent surfaces (front surfaces) of the symbol portions 161 to 164 are formed so as to protrude forward from the base surface 160a of the decorative plate 160 and are inclined so as to protrude forward toward the right side. . That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 6E, the symbol portion 161 is formed such that the protrusion amount L2 at the right end is larger than the protrusion amount L1 at the left end. In addition, the plurality of symbol portions 161 to 164 are formed to be larger as the size of the character (identification information) represented by each of the symbol portions 161 to 164 increases toward the right. The angle of inclination of each light-transmitting surface is formed to be the same, and the amount of protrusion from the base surface 160a is increased toward the right symbol portion.

  As described above, the symbol portions 161 to 164 are formed to be inclined in the front-rear direction from the left end to the right end, and project from the board surface of the game board 2 or the base surface 160 a of the decoration board 160, so The three-dimensional effect can be improved. In this embodiment, the plurality of light emitters 153a are arranged along the board surface of the game board 2 and the base surface 160a of the decorative board 160, and with respect to the plane on which the plurality of light emitters 153a are arranged. Since the light-transmitting surfaces of the symbol portions 161 to 164 are inclined in the front-rear direction toward the left-right direction, a change occurs in the distance between each light emitter 153a and the light-transmitting surface. A feeling can be improved.

  The symbol portions 161 to 164 are connected in the left-right direction, and the symbol portions 161 to 164 are formed to be inclined in the front-rear direction from one end to the other end in the left-right direction. Since the portion having the minimum protrusion amount of 164 and the portion having the maximum protrusion amount are arranged adjacent to each other to form a step, the stereoscopic effect of the decorative body 150 can be further improved.

  Here, in this embodiment, the symbol parts (translucent parts) 161 to 164 are one symbol part for each part representing one character, and the symbol part 163 is a physical part representing “n”. The two lightly spaced portions are defined as one symbol part, and the light transmitting surface (front surface) is inclined. As described above, a translucent surface may be formed as a symbol portion for each part representing information such as a symbol such as a character or a figure or information such as a character image, or may be physically separated. The translucent surface may be formed by using all different symbol parts. Further, for example, when forming a symbol portion (translucent portion) indicating character information of “hit chance”, a portion representing “hit” and a portion representing “chance” are respectively used as symbol portions. That is, it is good also as what forms a translucent surface for every some site | part showing a word etc. as one symbol part.

  The planar symbol portion 165 is provided above the symbol portions 161 to 164 (the hatched portion in FIGS. 2 to 7). As with the symbol parts 161 to 164, the flat symbol part 165 has a front surface formed as a translucent surface having translucency. The planar symbol portion 165 is formed of the symbol portions 161 to 164 in that the translucent surface (front surface) is formed in the same plane (without tilting) as the base surface 160a of the decorative board 160 (the game surface of the game board 2). Different. In this way, the flat symbol portion 165 that is not inclined when viewed from the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is formed in the vicinity of the symbol portions 161 to 164, so that the stereoscopic effect of the symbol portions 161 to 164 is enhanced by contrast with the flat symbol portion 165. It can be improved further.

  7 and 8 are a front view and a rear view for explaining the operation of the first effect movable mechanism 100, respectively. In the first effect movable mechanism 100, in a state where the decorative body 150 is located at the retracted position (see FIGS. 7A and 8A), power is output from the motor 121 and the motor gear rotates clockwise as viewed from the rear. When 122 rotates, the drive gear 123 rotates counterclockwise, and the back member 124 and the decorative body 150 are guided by the guide rails 114a and 114b of the front base portion 114 and move downward as the drive protrusion 123a moves. It moves (see FIG. 7B and FIG. 8B). At this time, the decorative body 150 is positioned in front of the image display device 5 shown in FIG. Further, when the decorative body 150 is located at the advanced position (see FIGS. 7B and 8B), when the power is output from the motor 121 and the motor gear 122 rotates counterclockwise as viewed from the rear, The drive gear 123 rotates clockwise, and the back member 124 and the decorative body 150 are guided by the guide rails 114a and 114b of the front base 114 and retreat upward as the drive protrusion 123a moves (FIG. 7 ( a), see FIG. At this time, the decorative body 150 is positioned above the image display device 5 without overlapping the front. As described above, in the first effect movable mechanism 100 of this embodiment, the visibility of the image display device 5 changes according to the advancement / retraction of the decorative body 150, so that the player can move the image display device 5 and the first effect movable. The mechanism 100 can be noticed and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, in this embodiment, since the biasing spring 126 that biases the back member 124 (decorative body 150) upward is provided, the ornamental body 150 faces upward against gravity. Also when moving, the load of the motor 121 can be reduced. Further, the back member 124 and the decorative body 150 are supported by the guide slits 114a and 114b of the front base portion 114 by the four guide shafts 124b to 124e, and have high rigidity in the torsion direction. Even if the decorative body 150 is attached at positions separated in the left-right direction, the decorative body 150 can be smoothly moved, and the degree of freedom in designing the drive unit 120 is improved.

  The first effect moving mechanism 100 is configured to be capable of self-locking when the decorative body 150 is retracted upward. Specifically, in FIG. 8A, the drive gear 123 can rotate the drive protrusion 123a to a fixed position slightly clockwise from the top (for example, 5 °, 10 °, etc. from the top). In addition to being able to rotate clockwise from the fixed position. As a result, when the driving protrusion 123a is positioned at a fixed position, the driving protrusion 123a does not rotate clockwise when viewed from the rear, even if the back member 124 or the decorative portion 150 tries to move downward due to gravity. Such self-locking can suppress the unintended operation of the first effect moving mechanism 100 when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is transported or played. Note that the first effect moving mechanism 100 may not include such a self-locking mechanism.

  In the first effect movable mechanism 100 of this embodiment described above, a plurality of symbol parts 161 to 164 representing identification information are formed on the decorative body 150 by the shape of the light transmitting surface, and the plurality of symbol parts 161 to 164 are transparent. Since the light surface is formed to be inclined in the front-rear direction so that the amount of protrusion protruding forward from the left end to the right end increases, the decorative body 150 produces a three-dimensional visual effect to enhance the fun of the game. Can be improved.

  Moreover, in the 1st production | presentation movable mechanism 100, since the several symbol parts 161-164 are arranged in a row in the left-right direction, the some identification information with a three-dimensional effect can be represented. The symbol portions 161 to 164 are formed so that the size of the identification information represented by the translucent surface increases from left to right, and the base surface increases as the size of the identification information represented by the translucent surface increases. Since the maximum protrusion amount from 160a is increased, the stereoscopic effect of the identification information represented by the decorative body 150 can be further improved.

  Further, in the first effect movable mechanism 100, since the flat symbol portion 165 that is not inclined when viewed from the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is disposed above the plurality of symbol portions 161 to 164, the symbol portions 161 to 164 and the flat surface are arranged. By contrast with the symbol part 165, the stereoscopic effect of the identification information represented by the symbol parts 161 to 165 can be further improved.

  In the first effect movable mechanism 100 described above, the four symbol portions (translucent portions) 161 to 164 are connected in the left-right direction, but two to three or five or more symbol portions ( (Translucent portion) may be provided continuously in the left-right direction, or only one symbol portion (translucent portion) may be provided. Further, the plurality of symbol portions (translucent portions) 161 to 164 may be continuously provided along the vertical direction or the oblique direction, or may be continuously provided in a plurality of rows.

  Further, in the first effect movable mechanism 100 described above, the characters (identification information) represented by the symbol parts 161 to 164 are configured to increase in size from left to right. For example, the character (identification information) represented by the symbol parts 161 to 164 may be configured to increase in size from the right to the left, and large characters and small characters are alternately represented. It may be configured as follows.

  Further, in the first effect movable mechanism 100 described above, the inclination angles of the light transmitting surfaces (front surfaces) of the symbol portions (light transmitting portions) 161 to 164 are formed to be the same, and the identification information represented by the symbol portions 161 to 164 is large. Although the maximum protrusion amount from the base surface 160a is increased as described above, the present invention is not limited to such an example. For example, as illustrated in the decorative body 150 of the modified example of FIG. The larger the identification information represented by 163 is, the larger the angle of inclination of the translucent surface is. On the contrary, as the identification information represented by the symbol parts 161 to 163 is smaller as shown in the decorative body 150 of the modified example of FIG. For example, the angle of inclination of the light-transmitting surface may be increased, and the angle of inclination of the light-transmitting surface may be different for each size of the identification information represented by the symbol portion. Even in such a case, the stereoscopic effect of the identification information represented by the decorative body 150 can be improved. 9C, the minimum protrusion amount protruding from the base surface 160a is increased as the identification information represented by the symbol portions 161 to 163 is increased, or vice versa. As shown in the decorative body 150 of the modified example d), for each size of the identification information represented by the symbol part, such as the smaller the identification information represented by the symbol parts 161 to 163, the larger the minimum protrusion amount that projects from the base surface 160a. Further, the protruding amount may be changed. Even in such a case, the stereoscopic effect of the identification information represented by the decorative body 150 can be improved.

  Further, in the first effect movable mechanism 100 described above, the plurality of symbol parts 161 to 164 are formed to be inclined in the front-rear direction so as to protrude forward toward the right. 164 may be formed to be inclined in the front-rear direction so as to protrude forward as it goes to the left. Further, it may be formed to be inclined in the front-rear direction from one end in the up-down direction to the other end, or may be formed to be inclined in the front-rear direction from one end in the oblique direction in the up-down direction, left-right direction to the other end. Further, the plurality of symbol portions 161 to 164 may be formed to be inclined in different directions.

  Further, in the first effect movable mechanism 100 described above, the flat symbol portion 165 that is not inclined in the front-rear direction when viewed from the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided above the symbol portions 161 to 164. 165 may be provided in the vicinity other than above the symbol portions 161 to 164, or may be provided between the symbol portions 161 to 164. Further, such a plane symbol portion 165 may not be provided.

  Further, in the first effect moving mechanism 100 described above, the decorative body 150 is moved in the vertical direction by the drive unit 120, but the decorative body 150 is moved in the left-right direction and the oblique direction, or is rotated. It is good.

It is the disassembled perspective view which decomposed | disassembled only the pantograph mechanism 230 shown and looked back. As shown in FIG. 13, the pantograph mechanism 230 has a plurality of (in this embodiment, ten) link members 231 to 240 formed into a substantially rod shape by, for example, injecting resin or the like into a mold. Corresponding ones of these ten link members 231 to 240 are crossed in pairs in an X shape, and each crossing portion 241 is pivotally attached.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 13B, the link members 231 and 232 as a pair, the link members 233 and 234 as a pair, the link members 235 and 236 as a pair, and the link members 237 and 238 as a pair.

For example, a through hole 242 is formed at the intersection 241 of the link members 231, 233, 235, 237, and a boss 243 is formed at the intersection 241 of the link members 232, 234, 236, 238. Each of the link members 231 to 240 can be rotated with respect to the intersecting portion 241 by screwing the screw inserted into the through hole 242 with the portion 243 inserted into the screw hole on the tip surface of the boss portion 243. Yes. As for the intersecting portion 241 of the link members 233 and 234, a screw inserted into the arcuate hole 223 b of the swing arm 223 is inserted into the through hole 242 of the intersecting portion 241 of the link member 233 to intersect the intersecting portion 241 of the link member 234. The link members 233 and 234 can be rotated with respect to the intersecting portion 241 by being screwed into the boss portion 243.

  Subsequently, the distal end side of the pair of link members 231 and 232 and the proximal end side of the other pair of link members 233 and 234 are pivotally attached, and the distal end side of the pair of link members 233 and 234 and the other The pair of link members 235 and 236 are pivotally attached to each other by screwing, and the distal end side of the pair of link members 235 and 236 and the proximal end side of the other pair of link members 237 and 238 are screwed. The pair of link members 237 and 238 are pivotally attached to each other, and the distal ends of the pair of link members 237 and 238 and the base ends of the other pair of link members 239 and 240 are pivotally attached. Further, the boss portion 251a on the rear surface of the most advanced decorative body 251 of the decorative member 250 shown in FIG. 12 is inserted into the through hole 242 at the tip portion of the paired link members 239 and 240, and the link member 239 penetrates. By screwing the screw inserted into the hole 242 into the screw hole on the distal end surface of the boss portion 251a of the decorative body 251, the link members 239 and 240 are rotatable with respect to the distal end side.

  In addition, in this embodiment, although the intersection part 241 and the edge part location of each link member 231-240 are screwed so that rotation is possible, the intersection part 241 and edge part side location of each link member 231-240 are screwed. A configuration in which the locking pin is locked in the locking hole, a configuration in which the fitting pin is loosely fitted in the fitting hole, or the like may be adopted so as to be rotatable.

  These link members 231 to 240 are, for example, colored (black) resin molded products, but may be transparent resin molded products. In this embodiment, when the pantograph mechanism 230 is contracted (see FIG. 15A) or extended (see FIG. 15C), the link members 231 to 240 are hidden by the decorative member 250 from the front side. However, the link members 231 to 240 are transparent because a part of the link members 231 to 240 can be seen from the front side in the expansion and contraction state of the pantograph mechanism 230 (see FIG. 15B). In some cases, it can be inconspicuous.

  As shown in FIGS. 10B and 11, the decorative member 250 includes a plurality of (for example, four) decorative bodies 251 to 254. These decorative bodies 251 to 254 are formed by, for example, injecting a resin or the like into a mold, and the outer shapes thereof increase in order from the front end side to the base end side in the advancing direction. For example, it has a heart shape, a substantially triangular shape, a substantially trapezoidal shape, and a substantially trapezoidal shape.

  As shown in FIG. 14, each of the decorative bodies 251 to 254 has an LED mounting surface on which a front decorative portion 255 made of a light transmitting resin with decoration on the front side and a plurality of LEDs 256 a (light emitting diodes) are mounted.

Prepare each.

  These decorative bodies 251 to 254 are slidably coupled so as to line up in the advance direction. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 14, the sliding portion 258 of the leading decorative body 251 is inserted into the elongated hole 257 a of the second decorative body 252 and is slidably mounted. The sliding part 258 of the second decorative body 252 is inserted into the elongated hole 257a of the third decorative body 253 so as to be slidable, and the sliding part 258 of the third decorative body 253 is the fourth decorative body. It is inserted into the long hole 257a of 254 and is slidably mounted.

Is slidable in the longitudinal direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the fourth decorative body 254 is slidable with respect to the upper mounting base 261 and the lower mounting base 262 attached to the rear case portion 211. Specifically, an upper support 263 and a lower support 264 are slidably mounted on the upper mount 261 and the lower mount 262, respectively, and a fourth decoration is mounted on the upper support 263 and the lower support 264. A body 254 is slidably mounted. Specifically, the upper sliding part 265 and the lower sliding part formed respectively in the upper part and the lower part of the back surface of the fourth decorative body 254 are formed in the long hole 263a of the upper support part 263 and the long hole 164a of the lower support part 264. The moving parts 266 are inserted and slidably mounted. Then, the sliding portion 268 of the upper support portion 263 is inserted into the long hole 261a of the upper mounting base 261 and is slidably mounted, and the sliding portion 269 of the lower support portion 264 is inserted into the long hole 262a of the lower mounting base 262. Inserted and slidably mounted.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, three cylindrical leg portions 261 b are formed to protrude from the back surface side of the upper mounting base 261, and three cylindrical leg portions 261 b are formed on the front surface of the motor support member 222. The three boss portions 222b corresponding to the upper pedestal 261 are respectively formed, and the boss portion 222b of the motor support member 222 is inserted into the cylinder of the cylindrical leg portion 261b of the upper mount 261, and is cylindrical from the front side of the upper mount 261. The upper mounting base 261 is mounted on the motor support member 222 by screwing the screw inserted into the cylinder of the leg portion 261b into the screw hole on the tip surface of the boss portion 222b. Further, two cylindrical leg portions 262b are formed to protrude on the back surface side of the lower mounting base 262, and the lower portion of the front center of the rear case portion 211 corresponds to the two cylindrical leg portions 262b. Two boss portions 211d are respectively formed, and the cylindrical leg portion 262b from the front side of the lower mounting base 262 with the boss portion 211d of the rear case portion 211 inserted into the cylinder of the cylindrical leg portion 262b of the lower mounting base 262. The lower mounting base 262 is attached to the rear case part 211 by screwing the screw inserted into the cylinder into the screw hole on the tip surface of the boss part 211d.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the upper portion of the vertically long support metal plate 216 is screwed to the left end portion of the upper mounting base 261, and the lower portion of the supporting metal plate 216 is the lower mounting base 262. Screwed to the left end. Then, the front cover portion 212 is attached to the rear case portion 211.

  Further, the most advanced decorative body 251 is attached to the pantograph mechanism 230. Specifically, the boss portion 251a on the back surface of the most advanced decorative body 251 is inserted into the through hole 242 at the tip of the link members 239 and 240 to be paired and inserted into the through hole 242 of the link member 239. By screwing the screw into the screw hole on the front end surface of the boss portion 251a of the decorative body 251, the most advanced decorative body 251 is mounted on the pantograph mechanism 230, and the link members 239 and 240 rotate with respect to the front end side. It is possible. The subsequent three decorative bodies 252 to 254 change between a retracted state and an advanced state in conjunction with the operation of the most advanced decorative body 251, and the pantograph mechanism 230 contracts as shown in FIG. In this state, the most advanced decoration body 251 attached to the pantograph mechanism 230 is in the retracted state as shown in FIG. 15A, and the subsequent three decoration bodies 252 to 254 are in the most advanced state as shown in FIG. The decorative body 251 is overlapped in the front-rear direction.

  Further, in the advanced state shown in FIG. 10 (b), the decoration member 250 forms each decoration so as to form a predetermined decoration display (for example, a character, a shape, a pattern, a color, or a combination thereof) on the surface side. The bodies 251 to 254 are formed, and the design effect is enhanced.

  When the rotation shaft 221a (notched disk portion 225) of the pantograph motor 221 rotates about 210 degrees clockwise in FIG. 16 with the pantograph mechanism 230 contracted as shown in FIG. As shown in c), the pantograph mechanism 230 is in the extended state.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, the biasing spring 270 is bridged between the base end portions 231a and 232a of the pair of link members 231 and 232. That is, as shown in FIG. 16, the biasing spring 270 biases the ends of the pair of link members 231 and 232 in a pulling direction, and the decorative member 250 is moved from the retracted state shown in FIG. It is attached so that the force acting in the direction of extending the pantograph mechanism 230 in the process of changing to the advanced state shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 16A, when the distance between the base end portions 231a and 232a of the pair of link members 231 and 232 is the first distance d1, the pantograph mechanism 230 is in a contracted state. As shown in FIG. 16B, the distance between the base end portions 231a and 232a of the pair of link members 231 and 232 is reduced to a second distance d2 shorter than the first distance d1 as shown in FIG. By changing, the pantograph mechanism 230 extends. In this embodiment, when the pantograph mechanism 230 is extended, the biasing spring 270 has a natural length (second distance d2 = natural length). The biasing spring 270 may not reach the natural length in the state where the pantograph mechanism 230 is extended.

  As shown in FIGS. 16A and 17A, when the decorative member 250 is stored, that is, when the pantograph mechanism 230 is contracted, the pair of link members 231 and 232 over which the biasing spring 270 is stretched. The pair of link members 231 and 232 are in a substantially linear state, and the elastic force direction of the urging spring 270 is in the substantially linear state. It is substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of H.232. That is, when the pantograph mechanism 230 is contracted as shown in FIG. 17A, the biasing spring 270 is long and the biasing force F1 itself by the biasing spring 270 is large, but the biasing force F1 causes the pantograph mechanism 230 to move. The force to be developed (force to rotate each link member 231 to 240 with respect to the intersection 241) R hardly acts. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 17B, while the pantograph mechanism 230 advances, the biasing spring 270 contracts and the biasing force F2 of the biasing spring 270 gradually decreases, but the elasticity of the biasing spring 270 is increased. The direction of the force direction and the direction of the longitudinal direction of the link members 231 and 232 are shifted, and the biasing force F <b> 2 by the biasing spring 270 greatly acts on the force R that advances the pantograph mechanism 230. As described above, by extending the biasing spring 270 to the end portions of the link members 231 and 232, the longitudinal direction of the link members 231 and 232 and the direction of the elastic force of the biasing spring 270 are increased as the pantograph mechanism 230 is advanced. The ratio which acts on the direction which advances the pantograph mechanism 230 in the biasing force of the biasing spring 270 is increased. Here, in this embodiment, in a state where the pantograph mechanism 230 is completely advanced, the biasing spring 270 has a natural length (F3 = 0), so the decorative member 250 is shown in FIG. In the process of changing from the retracted state to the advanced state shown in FIG. 17C, the force acting in the direction in which the pantograph mechanism 230 is advanced from the biasing spring 270 is the longitudinal direction of the link members 231 and 232 and the biasing spring 270. As the biasing spring 270 contracts, the biasing force decreases and the biasing force gradually decreases from a certain point. As described above, even when the pantograph mechanism 230 is completely advanced, the biasing spring 270 is configured not to reach the natural length, and the pantograph mechanism 230 is advanced until the pantograph mechanism 230 is fully advanced. You may make it the force which acts on the direction which advances the pantograph mechanism 230 from the biasing spring 270 so that it is so. Here, the larger the elastic force of the biasing spring 270, the faster the pantograph mechanism 230 can be advanced, but the load on the pantograph motor 221 when the pantograph mechanism 230 is contracted increases. For this reason, the urging spring 270 may employ an elastic force according to the rating of the pantograph motor 221 or the weight of the decorative member 250 so that it is convenient for the effect display by the second effect moving mechanism 200. .

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the biasing spring 270 is bridged between the base end of the link member 232 and a position slightly shifted to the front end side from the base end of the link member 231. In the state in which the pantograph mechanism 130 is extended, as shown in FIG. 15A, the link member 132 is in an inclined posture in which the base end side is directed downward, whereas the link member 131 is slightly upward in the base end side. Since the base end side of the link member 131 is easily lowered by gravity, the base end side of the link member 132 must be lifted against gravity. Therefore, one end of the urging spring 170 is hung on the base end of the link member 132, and the other end of the urging spring 170 is hung at a position slightly shifted to the front end side from the base end of the link member 131. A large moment is applied to 132, and a smaller moment is applied to the link member 131, so that the link members 131 and 132 in the expansion / contraction process of the pantograph mechanism 130 operate smoothly. The urging spring 270 may be bridged between the base ends of the link members 231 and 232, or may be bridged between positions slightly shifted to the distal end side from the base ends of the link members 231 and 232. Good.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, a torsion spring 273 is bridged between the rear case portion 211 and the swing arm 223. Specifically, the shaft support portion 211b of the rear case portion 211 is inserted into the coil portion 273a of the torsion spring 273, and one end of the torsion spring 273 is close to the oval hole 223c on the side facing the upper side of the swing arm 223. The other end of the torsion spring 273 is locked to a locking boss 211e formed obliquely below the shaft support portion 211b on the front upper side of the rear case portion 211. ing.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 16A, when the pantograph mechanism 230 is in a contracted state, the torsion spring 273 is contracted and biased in a rotational direction in which both ends are separated from each other about the coil portion 273a of the torsion spring 273. To do.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 16A, the second effect movable mechanism 200 includes a position detection sensor 285 (for example, a photo sensor) that detects whether or not the pantograph mechanism 230 is in a contracted state. Specifically, the position detection sensor 285 is disposed on the motor support member 222 so as to detect the notch disk portion 225 of the pantograph motor 221 as shown in FIGS. In the state where the pantograph mechanism 230 shown in (a) is contracted, the cutout part 225a of the cutout disk part 225 is positioned at the position detection sensor 285, and during the extension of the pantograph mechanism 230 shown in FIG. 16 (b) or in FIG. 16 (c). In the extended state of the pantograph mechanism 230 shown, the notch disk portion 225 is positioned on the position detection sensor 285. That is, the position detection sensor 285 can detect whether the pantograph mechanism 230 is in a contracted state.

  As shown in FIG. 16A, when the pantograph mechanism 230 is contracted, the notch portion 225a of the notch disk portion 225 is positioned at the position detection sensor 285, and light from the light transmitting portion of the position detection sensor 285 is obtained. Is received by the light receiving unit, and based on the detection signal (high level) from the position detection sensor 285, it is detected that the pantograph mechanism 230 is in a contracted state. Further, when the rotation shaft 221a (notched disk portion 225) of the pantograph motor 221 rotates (clockwise rotation in FIG. 16), the notched disk portion 225 is positioned at the position detection sensor 285, and the light is transmitted from the light transmitting portion. The light is blocked and is not received by the light receiving unit. Further, as shown in FIG. 16C, even when the notch disk portion 225 rotates about 210 degrees and the pantograph mechanism 230 is in the extended state, the notch disk portion 225 remains at the position detection sensor 285. The light is received by the light receiving unit. In other words, based on the detection signal (low level) from the position detection sensor 285, it is detected that the pantograph mechanism 230 is in the non-reduced state (in the middle of expansion or contraction or in the extended state).

  As the position detection sensor 285, for example, various non-contact sensors and contact sensors other than the photo sensor may be used. Further, instead of or in addition to the position detection sensor 285, a sensor (for example, a resolver, an encoder, etc.) for detecting the rotational position of the rotational shaft 221a of the pantograph motor 221 may be provided.

  In addition, the second effect moving mechanism 200 of this embodiment has a decoration (not shown) for causing the front portion of the main body case 210 to emit light separately from the LED 256a (see FIG. 14) of the LED mounting board 256 that causes the decoration member 250 to emit light. LED for use.

  Further, the second effect movable mechanism 200 is configured to be capable of self-locking when the pantograph mechanism 230 is contracted. Specifically, in FIG. 16A, the eccentric pin 226a can be rotated to a fixed position slightly clockwise from the leftmost part (for example, 5 °, 10 °, etc. from the leftmost part) It is configured not to be able to rotate clockwise from the fixed position. As a result, when the eccentric pin 226a is positioned at the fixed position, even if the pantograph mechanism 230 is extended only by the elastic force of the extended biasing spring 270 and the biasing force of the contracted torsion spring 273, the eccentric pin 226a As a result, a clockwise force is applied, and the eccentric pin 226a cannot rotate, so that self-locking is applied. Such self-locking can prevent the second effect moving mechanism 200 from performing an unintended operation when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is transported or played. Note that the second effect movable mechanism 100 may not include such a self-locking mechanism.

  In the second effect movable mechanism 200 described above, the force that acts in the direction in which the pantograph mechanism 230 is advanced from the biasing spring 270 increases in the process in which the decorative member 250 changes from the retracted state to the advanced state. In the advancing process, that is, in the process of extending the pantograph mechanism 230 by the power of the pantograph motor 221, the urging force of the urging spring 270 can be used as an extension assisting force, and the load of the pantograph motor 221 in the advancing process can be reduced. The decorative member 250 can be moved quickly, and the impact on the player can be increased to improve the interest of the game. Further, when the pantograph mechanism 230 is in the contracted state, the biasing force from the biasing spring 270 is relatively small, so that the pantograph mechanism 230 can be easily maintained in the contracted state. Furthermore, it is not necessary to use a drive source (such as a motor) with a large output, and there is no problem of increasing the size of the apparatus. Therefore, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can improve the interest of the game by the decorative member 250 with a simple configuration.

  Moreover, since the urging force by the urging spring 270 can be used as the extension assisting force, the decoration member 250 moves quickly. That is, since it operates in a short time, it can be easily incorporated into various effects.

  Further, when the distance between the base end portions 231a and 232a of the link members 231 and 232 is changed from the first distance d1 to the second distance d2 shorter than the first distance d1, the pantograph mechanism 230 extends, and the biasing spring Since 270 is bridged between the base end portions 231a and 232a of the link members 231 and 232, the pantograph mechanism 230 can be appropriately biased with respect to its extending operation.

  The decorative member 250 includes a plurality of (for example, four) decorative bodies 251 to 254, the leading decorative body 251 is attached to the pantograph mechanism 230, and the remaining decorative bodies 252 to 254 are the leading decorative bodies 251. When the head decorative body 251 attached to the pantograph mechanism 230 is in the retracted state, the remaining subsequent decorative bodies 252 to 254 change to the head decoration. Since it overlaps with the body 251 in the front-rear direction, the visibility of the plurality of decorative bodies 251 to 254 can be changed in accordance with the extending operation of the pantograph mechanism 230, and the production effect can be improved. Further, in the retracted state, since the smaller decorative bodies 251 to 253 are hidden behind the largest decorative body 254, the entire decorative bodies 251 to 253 can be hidden.

  In addition, a swing arm 223 that transmits power from the pantograph motor 221 to the pantograph mechanism 230 is provided, and the swing arm 223 engages with an intersection 241 where a pair of link members 233 and 234 of the pantograph mechanism 230 intersect. As the pantograph motor 221 is driven, power is transmitted to the intersection 241, so that the power of the pantograph motor 221 is evenly transmitted to the pair of link members 233 and 234 of the pantograph mechanism 230 and the expansion and contraction operation is stabilized.

  When the decorative member 250 is stored, that is, when the pantograph mechanism 230 is contracted, the distance between the base end portions 231a and 232a of the pair of link members 231 and 232 over which the biasing spring 270 is stretched is the first distance. d1 and the pair of link members 231 and 232 are in a substantially linear state, and the elastic force direction of the biasing spring 270 is substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the pair of link members 231 and 232 in the substantially linear state. Therefore, since the elastic force direction of the biasing spring 270 is substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the pair of substantially linear link members 231 and 232, a large force is exerted in the advancing direction of the pantograph mechanism 230 when the decorative member 250 is stored. The decorative member 250 can be kept in the stored state. Further, it is possible to reduce unnecessary load on the pantograph motor 221 when the decorative member 250 is stored.

  In addition, each pair of link members of the pantograph mechanism 230 is gradually shortened toward the advance side, and the four decorative bodies 251 to 254 are also reduced in size toward the tip. , The tip becomes lighter, and the advance operation becomes faster.

  In the second effect movable mechanism 200 described above, the urging spring 270 is bridged between the pair of link members 231 and 232 of the pantograph mechanism 230, but instead of or in addition to this, A biasing spring may be bridged between the front end portions or the rear end portions of the link members 233 to 238. Further, an urging spring may be bridged between the rear end portion of at least one of the link members 231 and 232 and the case portion 211. Further, in place of or in addition to the urging spring, an elastic force such as rubber is applied so that the force applied in the direction in which the pantograph mechanism 230 is advanced is increased in the process in which the decorative member 250 changes from the retracted state to the advanced state. An urging member to be actuated and an urging member to act an electromagnetic force such as a permanent magnet or an electromagnet may be provided. In particular, when a force is applied in the direction in which the pantograph mechanism 230 is advanced using an electromagnet or the like, the force applied in the direction in which the pantograph mechanism 230 is advanced in the process in which the decorative member 250 changes from the retracted state to the advanced state. You may control the voltage etc. which are applied to an electromagnet so that it may become large. Further, when the decorative member 250 is changed from the advanced state to the retracted state, it may be controlled so that the urging force by the electromagnet is reduced or the urging force does not act, so that the force acts in a direction in which the pantograph mechanism 230 is contracted. You may control.

  In the second effect movable mechanism 200 described above, the four decoration members 250 are attached to the pantograph mechanism 230. However, the decoration members 250 are in the advanced state and the retracted state in conjunction with the expansion / contraction operation of the pantograph mechanism 230. For example, one to three decorative members 250 may be attached to the pantograph mechanism 230, or five or more decorative members 250 may be attached. In addition, an arbitrary shape can be adopted as the shape of each decorative member 250.

  In the second effect movable mechanism 200 described above, in the state where the pantograph mechanism 230 is contracted, the subsequent three decorative bodies 252 to 254 overlap the rear of the most advanced decorative body 251. The individual decorative bodies 252 to 254 may overlap the front of the most advanced decorative body 251. Further, in a state where the pantograph mechanism 230 is contracted, the subsequent three decorative bodies 252 to 254 and the most advanced decorative body 251 do not have to overlap in the front-rear direction.

  In the second effect movable mechanism 200 described above, the power from the pantograph motor 221 is transmitted via the swing arm 223 to the intersection 241 where the pair of link members 233 and 234 intersect. Other configurations may be employed such that power from the pantograph motor 221 is transmitted to the pantograph mechanism 230 via a rack gear. The power from the pantograph motor 221 is not limited to the power transmitted to the intersection 241 where the link members 233 and 234 intersect, but is transmitted to the intersection 241 of the other link members 231, 232 and 235 to 238. Alternatively, it may be transmitted to the distal ends of the link members 239 and 240, or may be transmitted to the decorative member 250.

Note that various signals such as a control signal (for example, a control signal indicating a light emitting region, a color, a blinking pattern, or the like among the plurality of LEDs 446a) may be output to the annular decorative body 440 via the slip ring 481.

  Here, an operation in which the horizontal rotation of the annular decorative body 440 and the vertical rotation of the internal decorative body 460 in the moving rotating body 430 are simultaneously performed will be described with reference to FIGS. 30 and 31. FIGS. 30A to 30H are diagrams showing the moving rotating body 430 with the front annular body 443 removed and the rear annular body 444 fixedly viewed. FIGS. 31A to 31J are views showing that the inner decorative body 460 makes a half turn in the longitudinal direction when the annular decorative body 440 makes a half turn in the clockwise direction.

  The double gear 493 rotates as the rotation shaft of the motor 491 of the third drive unit 490 rotates. The rotation of the double gear 493 causes the spur geared shaft 494 and the disc body 495 to rotate in the same direction. The spur geared shaft 494 is rotated by the rotation of the large gear portion 493b on the upper side of the double gear 493, and the upper pin gear 453 on the lower end side of the spur geared shaft 494 is rotated. As the upper pin gear 453 rotates, the ring gear 448 rotates in the ring direction. Due to the rotation of the ring gear 448, the horizontal pin gear 464 rotates and the internal decoration body 460 rotates vertically. Further, the disk body 495 is rotated by the rotation of the small gear portion 493a on the lower side of the double gear 493, and the annular decorative body 440 is rotated laterally by the rotation of the disk body 495.

  30A shows the state where the front ellipsoid 461 of the internal decoration body 460 faces the front as 0 degrees, and the state where the internal decoration body 460 rotates 45 degrees is shown in FIGS. 30B to 30H. ing. When the inner decorative body 460 rotates 45 degrees, the annular decorative body 440 rotates 15 degrees, so that the inner decorative body 460 rotates three times faster than the annular decorative body 440. The internal decoration body 460 rotates 360 degrees by being in the state of FIG. 30A again through the rotational state of FIGS.

  31 (a) to 31 (j) show that the annular decorative body 440 is rotated to the right and half-turned (180 degrees rotated). When the annular decorative body 440 is rotated 20 degrees, the internal decorative body 460 is 60 degrees. Due to the rotation, the inner decorative body 460 rotates three times faster than the annular decorative body 440.

  In the fourth effect movable mechanism 400 described above, a ring decoration 440 having a ring gear 448 inside and an opening 441 provided inside the ring gear 448, and an opening 441 of the ring decoration 440 are provided. In this manner, the ring gear 448 has a lateral pin gear 464 that is driven by the rotation of the ring gear 448, and the inner decorative body 460 that operates in conjunction with the movement of the lateral pin gear 464 and the ring gear 448 are rotated in the circumferential direction. Since the third drive unit 490 is operated to drive the inner decorative body 460 by driving the horizontal pin gear 464, the horizontal pin gear 464 is driven by the ring gear 448 that rotates in the circumferential direction inside the annular decorative body 440. Since the inner decorative body 460 operates in conjunction with the driven operation of the lateral pin gear 464, the movement of the inner decorative body 460 in the opening 441 of the annular decorative body 440 is performed. Can have a surprising, it is possible to provide a game machine capable of improving interest of effects by decorations.

  Further, the ring-shaped decorative body 440 and the opening 441 are elliptical, and the diameter of the ring gear 448 is longer than the long diameter of the opening of the opening 441 and shorter than the short diameter of the outer periphery of the ring-shaped decorative body 440. 448 can be appropriately stored inside the annular decorative body 440, and an unexpected operation of rotating the internal decorative body 460 within the elliptical opening 441 can be realized with a simple structure. In other words, by making the annular decorative body 440 into an elliptical shape instead of a perfect circular shape, it is difficult to recall that the perfect circular ring gear 448 is arranged on the inner side, and the annular decorative body 440 is linked to the ring gear 448. The operation of the internal decoration body 460 can be surprising.

  In addition, a magnet 451 is disposed at a lower portion of the annular decoration body 440 that is the first position of the opening 441, and a magnet 451 is disposed at a second position facing the first position in the internal decoration body 460. Therefore, the decorativeness in the stationary state can be improved by guiding the internal decorative body 460 to a predetermined stationary position in the stationary state. This is particularly effective when the play (gap between gears, gaps) of the ring gear 448 or the like is large.

  In addition, the third drive unit 490 applies a driving force to the annular decorative body 440, thereby causing the annular decorative body 440 to operate in a predetermined manner and causing the internal decorative body 460 to move relative to the annular decorative body 440. The annular decorative body 440 and the internal decorative body 460 can be operated by the single third drive unit 490, respectively, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  Further, in the annular decorative body 440, a spur geared shaft 494 that is rotated by the driving force from the third drive unit 490 is inserted and arranged from a predetermined outer periphery toward the opening 441, and the ring gear 448 is disposed on the surface thereof. A plurality of teeth are juxtaposed in a ring shape and mesh with an upper pin gear 453 formed on a spur geared shaft 494. The lateral pin gear 464 meshes with the ring gear 448 and is different from the spur geared shaft 494. Since this is a driven gear that rotates about the rotation axis in the direction, the inside of the opening 441 of the annular decorative body 440 is different from the rotation around the spur geared shaft 494 of the annular decorative body 440. A gaming machine that can rotate the decorative body 460, can make the operation of the internal decorative body 460 in the opening 441 of the annular decorative body 440 surprising, and can enhance the entertainment of the decoration body. It can be.

  In addition, since the LED mounting board 446 in the annular decorative body 440 is supplied with power by the slip ring 481, the annular decorative body 440 is safely rotated in the start-up operation when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on.

  In the fourth effect movable mechanism 400 described above, the annular decoration body 440 emits light by the LED mounting substrate 446 inside the annular decoration body 440, but is not limited thereto. The inner decoration body 460 may emit light by light emitted from the opening 441 of the annular decoration body 440. For example, the opening 441 of the annular decorative body 440 is formed of a translucent member. Specifically, the front annular body 443 and the rear annular body 444 are formed by injecting a transparent resin or the like into a mold, and the opening 441 is a light-transmitting member. Then, the LED 446 a of the LED mounting board 446 inside the annular decorative body 440 is arranged so as to emit light toward the opening 441, so that the light from the LED mounting board 446 is irradiated to the opening 441. By doing so, light from the LED mounting substrate 446 inside the annular decorative body 440 is transmitted through the opening 441, and the internal decorative body 460 is irradiated, and the internal decorative body 460 emits light. According to such a configuration, the light from the LED mounting board 446 inside the annular decorative body 440 passes through the opening 441 that is a translucent member, and operates inside the opening 441. Therefore, it is possible to cause the internal decoration body 460, which is difficult to provide the LED mounting substrate 446, to emit light, and to further enhance the effect. Further, when the surface of the inner decorative body 460 is plated, the light from the annular decorative body 440 can be reflected.

  Further, in the fourth effect movable mechanism 400, the magnet 451 is disposed at the lower portion, which is the first position of the opening 441 in the annular decorative body 440, and is strongly positioned at the second position facing the first position in the internal decorative body 460. You may arrange | position a magnetic body. A ferromagnetic material may be disposed at a lower portion of the annular decorative body 440 that is the first position of the opening 441, and the magnet 451 may be disposed at a second position facing the first position of the internal decorative body 460.

  In the fourth effect movable mechanism 400, the ring gear 448 may have a plurality of teeth arranged in parallel on the back surface thereof, and the teeth on the back surface of the ring gear 448 mesh with the upper pin gear 453 and the lateral pin gear 464. You can do it.

  Further, in the fourth effect movable mechanism 400 described above, the annular ornamental body 440, its opening 441 and the internal ornamental body 460 are elliptical, but the annular ornamental body 440 has a ring gear 448 inside and has a ring gear. An opening may be provided inside 448, and an arbitrary shape such as a circular shape or a polygonal shape may be used. The inner decorative body 460 is provided at the opening of the annular decorative body 440 and has a driven member that follows the rotation of the ring gear 448. The inner decorative body 460 only needs to operate in accordance with the follower of the driven member. It may be an arbitrary shape such as a polygonal shape, and may be a shape different from the opening of the annular decorative body 440. When the outer shape of the annular decorative body 440 and the opening of the opening 441 are not circular, the ring gear 448 has a diameter larger than the opening diameter of the portion that is the largest from the center of the opening and the smallest from the center of the opening. The thing of the diameter smaller than the external diameter of the site | part which should be used should just be used.

  Further, the circular inner decorative body 460 may be rotated in the rotational direction of the ring gear 448 in the opening 441 of the circular annular decorative body 440. For example, instead of the horizontal pin gear 464 fixed to the right horizontal shaft portion 463 of the inner decorative body 460, the right horizontal shaft portion 463 of the inner decorative body 460 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface portion of the ring gear 448, and the front annular body 443 is fixed. The distance between the opening 441 and the opening 441 of the rear annular body 444 may be larger than the diameter of the right horizontal shaft portion 463. In this case, the annular decorative body 440 rotates laterally, and the internal decorative body 460 in the opening 441 of the annular decorative body 440 can be rotated in the inner peripheral direction of the opening 441.

  In the fourth effect movable mechanism 400 described above, the horizontal pin gear 464 rotates with the rotation of the ring gear 448 and the internal decoration body 460 rotates vertically. However, the internal decoration body 460 is replaced with vertical rotation. In addition, other operations such as movement with respect to the annular decorative body 440 and movement of the movable member with respect to the internal decorative body 460 may be performed.

  In the fourth effect movable mechanism 400 described above, the LED mounting board 446 is provided in front of the ring gear 448 in the state shown in FIG. 29 and the like, but instead of or in addition to this, the ring gear 448 An LED mounting board may be provided behind. When the LED mounting board is provided on both the front side and the rear side of the ring gear 448, the ring gear 448 may be configured to be rotatably supported between the two LED boards by the annular support body 447 or the like. .

  Further, in the fourth effect movable mechanism 400 described above, the third drive unit 490 also applies a driving force to the annular decorative body 440 to cause the annular decorative body 440 to operate in a predetermined manner, and the internal decorative body 460 is changed to the annular decorative body 440. However, the driving force may not be applied from the third driving unit 490 to the annular decorative body 440.

The stick controller 31 </ b> A and the push button 31 </ b> B change the display effect in the image display device 5 by the effect control board or the first to fourth effect movable mechanisms 100 to 400 when an operation by the player is detected. It may be used in an effect (for example, a notice effect or a reach effect) in which a lighting operation (flashing operation) or the like in a light emitter such as a game effect lamp 9 is performed.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a normal symbol display 20 for performing variable display of a normal symbol such that a game ball that has passed through a passing gate 26 provided in the game area has been detected by a gate switch (not shown). After the figure start condition is satisfied, the normal symbol display 20 uses the normal symbol display unit 20 based on the fact that the general symbol start condition for starting the variable symbol normal display, for example, that the previous general symbol game has ended is satisfied. The game starts.

  In this normal game, after the normal symbol change is started, when a predetermined time as the normal symbol change time elapses, the fixed normal symbol that is a variable display result of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (symbol per symbol), such as a number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed as the fixed normal symbol, the variable symbol display result of the normal symbol is “per symbol”. On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol such as a number or symbol other than the number indicating “7” is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the variable symbol display result of the normal symbol is “ordinary loss”. Become. Corresponding to the fact that the normal symbol variable display result is “per standard”, the expansion / release control (tilt control) is performed in which the movable tulip of the electric tulip constituting the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is tilted. The normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  After the first start condition is satisfied, for example, after the first start condition is satisfied, for example, the game ball that has passed (entered) through the first start winning port formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by a first start port switch (not shown), Based on the fact that the first start condition is satisfied due to the end of the figure game or the big hit gaming state, the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started. In addition, after the second start condition is satisfied, for example, when a game ball that has passed (entered) the second start winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by a second start opening switch (not shown), for example, The special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied due to, for example, the end of the previous special symbol game or the big hit gaming state.

  In the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B, after the special symbol variable display is started, the variable as the special symbol variation time set every time the special symbol game is performed. When the display time elapses, a fixed special symbol (special symbol display result) that is a variable symbol display result is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a “big hit” as the specific display result, and a predetermined special symbol (small bonus symbol) different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, it becomes “small hit” as a predetermined display result. Further, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the confirmed special symbol, the game is “lost”.

  After the variable 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. After the variable display result in the special figure game becomes “small hit”, the small hit game state is controlled as a special game state different from the big hit game state.

  In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the image display device 5, a special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and In response to the start of any one of the special symbol games using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B, the decorative symbol variable display is started. The period from the start of variable display of decorative symbols to the end of variable display due to the stop display of the fixed decorative symbols in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R Then, in response to the variable display state of the decorative symbols becoming a predetermined reach state or the reach state, the display operation in the image display device 5, the sound output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the game effect lamp The lighting operation (flashing operation) in the light emitter such as 9 performs an effect operation different from that before reaching the reach state.

  In this embodiment, for example, when a reach effect is performed, effect control by the first to fourth effect movable mechanisms 100 to 400 is performed according to the special-fluctuation effect control pattern. As an effect operation by the first effect moving mechanism 100, an effect display is executed by causing the decorative body 150 to advance or retreat by driving and controlling the motor 121, or causing the decorative object 150 to emit light by driving and controlling the light emitter 153a. . In addition, as an effect operation by the second effect moving mechanism 200, the pantograph motor 221 is driven and controlled to retract the decorative member 250 so that at least a part is hidden in the main body case 210, and the decorative member 250 is imaged. The effect display is executed by displacing the display device 5 to a state where the display device 5 is advanced, or by driving and controlling the plurality of LEDs 256a to cause the decorative member 250 to emit light. Further, as an effect operation by the third effect movable mechanism 300, by controlling the drive unit 360 and the swing drive unit 370, the decorative body 358 is moved or swinged and the left and right movable members 353 and 355 are operated. The second arm 340, the first arm 330, and the decorative body 358 are caused to emit light by driving and controlling the light emitting substrate 342 and the like, thereby performing the effect display. In addition, as an effect operation by the fourth effect moving mechanism 400, by driving and controlling the drive motor 414 and the motor 491, the movable rotating body 430 is moved or rotated in the left-right direction, and the plurality of LEDs 446a are driven and controlled. An effect display is executed by causing the moving rotator 430 to emit light.

  As the effect display by the first to fourth effect movable mechanisms 100 to 400, the effect display is executed using only one of the first to fourth effect movable mechanisms 100 to 400, or the effect display is executed using a plurality of effect display. You may do it. Further, as the effect display of the first to fourth effect movable mechanisms 100 to 400, for example, the decorative body 150 of the first effect movable mechanism 100 is advanced and stopped halfway, or the decorative body 150 is advanced. The operation of the movable body of each effect movable mechanism may be stopped in the middle and returned to the original state, or may be vibrated in the middle of the operation.

  Further, in the production operation using the first to fourth production movable mechanisms 100 to 400 in the reach production, the production pattern is determined in advance so that the production operation with a high production effect is performed as the reach production with a high degree of expectation of the big hit. You may keep it. For example, when a normal reach effect is performed, only one of the first to fourth effect movable mechanisms 100 to 400 may be operated, and when a super reach effect is performed, a plurality of effect movable mechanisms may be operated.

  In addition, about the production | generation operation | movement using the 1st-4th production movable mechanism 100-400, it is not limited to these examples, The drive source and light-emitting body of the 1st-4th production movable mechanism 100-400 are used. Various rendering operations that can be realized by drive control may be employed. Further, in an effect other than the reach effect, an effect operation using the first to fourth effect movable mechanisms 100 to 400 may be performed. For example, unlike the reach effect, the variable display state of the decorative symbol may indicate that the variable display state of the decorative symbol may become the reach state, or that the variable display result may be a “hit”, etc. In the variable display effect for notifying the player, the effect operation using the first to fourth effect movable mechanisms 100 to 400 may be performed, and the variable display state of the decorative pattern becomes the reach state by the normal reach. In the notice effect to notify the player in advance that there is a possibility that a reach effect by super reach may be executed, and that the variable display result may be a “hit” The first to fourth effect movable mechanisms 100 to 400 may be performed, or the big hit effect may be performed using the first to fourth effect movable mechanisms 100 to 400.
