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

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

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

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

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

  A special prize-winning ball device that receives a game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2 and then closes the big prize-winning slot, with the grand prize-winning door that has opened the grand prize-winning port during the round. 7 is changed to the second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is completed. The round that is the opening cycle of the big prize opening can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16”, etc.).

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

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

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

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

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

  In the special symbol process, the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit (not shown) is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display 4A or (2) Various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of the display operation in the special symbol display 4B and setting of the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 in a predetermined procedure.

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

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

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

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

  In the effect control process, the hold display update process for updating the hold storage display in the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U of the display display device 5 to a display corresponding to the storage contents of the hold storage buffer. Execute. Next, in accordance with the value of the production control process flag, a variation pattern designation command reception waiting process for confirming whether or not a variation pattern designation command has been received from the game control microcomputer 100, and variation of the production symbol are started. While controlling the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern and monitoring the end of the variation time according to the process data set in the effect symbol variation start process to be controlled and the process symbol variation start process , Display control of the effect display device 5, sound output from the speakers 8L, 8R, light emission of the effect LED 9, the first effect LEDs 313A, 313B, the second effect LEDs 323A, 323C and the light guide plate LED 502, and driving of the movable effect device 300 Stops the change of the effect design during the effect design change that performs control, etc. It carries out an effect symbol variation stop processing to perform the control to derive display the handle).

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

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

  The notice control effect executed by the effect control CPU 120 during the display of the effect symbols is, for example, a jackpot notice effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit, a reach notice that indicates whether or not to reach, and a stop symbol that indicates whether or not to reach. Multiple notices that are executed at the start of change display or when reach is established, such as a stop symbol notice to notify, a latent notice to notify whether or not the game state is a probability fluctuation state (whether it is latent or not) Including.

  In the present embodiment, a light guide plate effect by the light guide plate device 500 described below, a movable body effect by the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 of the movable effect device 300, and the movable effect device 300 and the light guide plate device 500. Various effects such as a combined effect by the above and an operation effect executed on condition that the player operates the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B can be executed as various notices.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example in which the pixel pattern in the image display device and the concave pattern in the light guide plate are enlarged. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of the degree of moire in the comparative example in which the pixel pattern and the recess pattern are aligned in the same direction. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of the degree of moire in an embodiment in which a pixel pattern and a recess pattern intersect at an angle θ.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the light guide plate device 500 includes a light guide plate 501 provided so as to close the opening 2 c of the game board 2 and a light guide for making light incident on the right end surface 501 a of the light guide plate 501. An LED substrate 503 on which a plurality of light plate LEDs 502 are mounted, a condenser lens 504 for condensing light from the light guide plate LED 502 toward the right end surface 501a of the light guide plate 501, and the light guide plate 501 and the LED substrate 503 are integrated. And a frame member 505 for the purpose. The light guide plate device 500 may be fixed to the back surface of the game board 2 or may be fixed to the center decorative frame 51.

  The light guide plate 501 is a plate member made of a material such as a transparent synthetic resin such as acrylic or polycarbonate having a predetermined front-rear width dimension (plate thickness = about 5 mm), as shown in FIG. The effect display device 5 and the movable effect device 300 are disposed in front of each other.

  In addition, the light guide plate 501 is a light emitting region 506 as a first region that forms a predetermined light guide pattern that reflects light from the light guide plate LED 502 incident on the inside from the right end surface 501a forward and emits the light from the front surface. A light emitting region that emits light by the light incident on the inside of the light guide plate 501 (see the halftone dot region in FIGS. 3 and 4A) and the light from the light guide plate LED 502 that is incident on the inside from the right end surface 501a. A non-light-emitting region 507 as a second region that does not form a predetermined light guide pattern that is reflected forward and emitted from the front surface, that is, a non-light-emitting region that does not emit light due to light incident inside the light guide plate 501 (FIGS. 3 and 4 (A) (see white area).

  The light emitting area 506 includes a light emitting portion 506A formed in an annular shape at a substantially central position of the light guide plate 501, a light emitting portion 506B extending from the light emitting portion 506A in the left-right direction, and a light emitting portion 506A extending in the vertical direction. The light emitting unit 506C and the light emitting unit 506D formed in a frame shape on the periphery of the light guide plate 501 so as to surround the light emitting units 506A, 506B, and 506C are formed so that a figure is formed. When light enters the inside of the light plate 501, a predetermined image is emitted and displayed on the light guide plate 501 by the light emitting region 506 reflecting the light and emitting it forward.

  The non-light emitting region 507 includes a circular non-light emitting portion 507A surrounded by the light emitting portion 506A, a plurality of non-light emitting portions 507B provided in the light emitting portion 506B and having a smaller diameter than the non-light emitting portion 507A, and the light emitting portion The light guide plate includes a plurality of non-light-emitting portions 507C that are provided in 506C and have a smaller diameter than the non-light-emitting portion 507A, and a plurality of non-light-emitting portions 507D surrounded by the light-emitting portions 506A, 506B, 506C, and 506D. It is an area where no light emission is displayed even when light is incident on the inside of 501.

  As shown in FIG. 4C, the light emitting region 506 is in a fine uneven state (rough surface) so as to guide the incident light from the light guide plate LED 502 incident inside from the right end surface 501a to be emitted from the front surface. It is formed on the back side. Specifically, the light emitting region 506 is formed in a concavo-convex state (rough surface) having a substantially semicircular shape with a constant pitch in a sectional view when the traveling direction of light is viewed from the side. In FIG. 4C, in order to help understanding, the uneven state (rough surface) is illustrated in an enlarged manner, but the actual light emitting region 506 is a fine unevenness having a size that is difficult to see with the naked eye. It is in a state.

  When light is incident on the inside from the right end surface 501a of the light guide plate 501, a predetermined image (still image) is displayed on the light guide plate 501 by a dot pattern including a plurality of concave portions 510 formed in the light emitting region 506 (FIG. 3 and the halftone dot region in FIG. In the present embodiment, a predetermined image (figure) is exemplified as display information that can be displayed by the light guide plate 501, but in addition to these, decoration such as a pattern, a character, a symbol, a pattern, or a pattern is also possible. Other display information may be displayed.

  In the light guide plate 501, when light is not incident from the right end surface 501 a, the entire light guide plate 501 including the light emitting region 506 is colorless and transparent, and the display image of the rear effect display device 5, the first The movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 can be viewed (perspectively) from the front of the light guide plate 501. In a state where light is incident from the right end surface 501a, the light emitting region 506 emits light, but the portions other than the light emitting region 506 are maintained in a colorless and transparent state.

  In the present embodiment, the light emitting region 506 is formed in a substantially semi-circular uneven shape. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the light emitting region 506 is formed by a stamper or injection with a light guide plate. You may comprise by the shaping | molding system which attaches an uneven | corrugated | grooved part to the back surface (rear surface) of 501. FIG. In addition, the reflective part is configured by a silk printing method in which reflective dots are printed with white ink on an acrylic plate, an adhesive dot method in which an acrylic plate and a reflective plate are attached with a dot-like adhesive, or a groove processing method. May be.

  In the present embodiment, the shape of each unevenness of the light emitting region 506 on the back surface (rear surface) of the light guide plate 501 is a substantially semicircular shape in cross-sectional view, but the present invention is not limited to this, The light emitting region 506 can be variously modified as long as it forms a reflective surface capable of reflecting light toward the front surface (front surface), such as a substantially triangular cross section.

  The condensing lens 504 is formed in a long plate shape extending in the vertical direction by a translucent member such as acrylic or polycarbonate. On the surface of the condensing lens 504 on the light guide plate 501 side, a plurality of semicircular convex portions 504A bulging toward the light guide plate 501 in front view are formed continuously in the vertical direction. The condenser lens 504 is composed of a single member in which a plurality of convex portions 504A are integrally provided. Each convex portion 504A is formed one by one corresponding to each of the light guide plates LED502.

  Note that the convex portions 504A are not limited to one-to-one correspondence with the light guide plates LED502, and, for example, one convex portion 504A may correspond to two or more light guide plate LEDs 502. The condensing lens 504 is not limited to a single member integrally provided with a plurality of convex portions 504A, but includes a plurality of condensing lenses formed separately corresponding to the light guide plate LED 502. It may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 4C, the front-rear width of the condenser lens 504 on the light guide plate 501 side is smaller than the front-rear width of the condenser lens 504 on the light guide plate LED 502 side. Further, the front-rear width of the condenser lens 504 on the light guide plate 501 side is substantially the same as the front-rear width of the light receiving surface of the light guide plate 501, so that the emitted light from the condenser lens 504 is diffused in the front-rear direction. Without incident (without light leakage).

  The front surface of the condensing lens 504 is a flat inclined surface that gradually inclines from the light guide plate LED 502 side toward the light guide plate 501 side, and the rear surface of the condensing lens 504 extends from the light guide plate LED 502 side to the light guide plate. A flat inclined surface is gradually inclined toward the front side toward the 501 side. That is, the condensing lens 504 is formed in a tapered shape in which the plate thickness gradually decreases from the light guide plate LED 502 side toward the light guide plate 501 side.

  In addition, a slight gap is provided between the condenser lens 504 and the light guide plate 501. For example, the gap is of such a size that the condensing lens 504 and the light guide plate 501 do not come into contact with each other even when vibration occurs during the transportation and use of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the condensing lens 504 and the light guide plate 501 from being damaged by vibrations generated during transportation and use of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  Next, the light guide state of the emitted light from the light guide plate LED 502 will be described. The emitted light emitted from each light guide plate LED 502 is incident on the condenser lens 504. Here, since the incident surface of the condensing lens 504 is formed in a curved shape so as to form a lens surface, even if the directivity of the emitted light from the light guide plate LED 502 is high, it enters the condensing lens 504. The light to be diffused radially in the left-right direction within the condenser lens 504. The light incident on the condenser lens 504 is refracted and emitted in the right direction when passing through the inner curved lens surface.

  Thereby, even if the directivity of the light emitted from the light guide plate LED 502 is high, the light emitted from the light guide plate LED 502 can be diffused radially to some extent by the condenser lens 504, and the light emitting region in the light guide plate 501 Can be expanded. Moreover, since the emitted light from the condensing lens 504 is guided in the horizontal direction (because it is suppressed from spreading radially), only the portion corresponding to each light guide plate LED 502 can emit light.

  Further, the light incident on the condenser lens 504 from the light guide plate LED 502 is condensed toward a substantially central position in the front-rear direction while repeating total reflection in the front-rear direction, and finally the light guide plate of the condenser lens 504. The light is emitted from the end surface on the 501 side (the portion with the smallest front-rear width).

  With such a configuration, the light from the light guide plate LED 502 can be condensed without being diffused in the front-rear direction and guided to the light guide plate 501. In particular, even when the front-rear width of the light emitting surface of the light guide plate LED 502 is larger than the front-rear width of the condenser lens 504 on the light guide plate LED 502 side, the light guide plate LED 502 is not diffused in the front-rear direction without diffusing light. Therefore, the light from the light guide plate LED 502 can be prevented from diffusing to the surroundings.

  Although not particularly illustrated, for example, even when a plurality of light guide plate LEDs 502 are arranged in the front-rear direction, the front-rear width of the light guide plate LED 502 of the condenser lens 504 is increased according to the front-rear width of the light guide plate LED 502. Thus, the light from the light guide plate LED 502 can be incident on the condenser lens 504 without diffusing in the front-rear direction. Therefore, even if the front-rear width of the light emitting area of the light guide plate LED 502 is larger than the front-rear width of the light guide plate 501, the light from the light guide plate LED 502 is collected without being diffused in the front-rear direction and is collected on the light guide plate 501. Can lead.

  When light from the condensing lens 504 is guided into the light guide plate 501 and reaches the light emitting area 506, the light is reflected toward the front side (player side) in the light emitting area 506. As a result, when viewed from the player, the light emitting area 506 of the light guide plate 501 emits light by reflected light, so that a figure represented by a halftone dot in FIG. 3A is displayed on the front surface of the light guide plate 501. It becomes like this. Note that a portion of the light guide plate 501 corresponding to the light emitting region 506 is emitted by reflected light, so that images such as predetermined characters and figures may be displayed on the light guide plate 501.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, when viewed from the player (in the front-rear direction), the effect display device 5 is disposed at the back and the light guide plate device 500 is disposed at the front. As seen from the player, the effect display device 5 has a horizontally long rectangular shape. For example, the effect display device 5 uses a liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal panel. For example, as a liquid crystal panel, a twisted nematic mode (TN mode), an in-plane switching mode (IPS mode), a vertical alignment mode (VA mode), a ferroelectric liquid crystal mode, an antiferroelectric liquid crystal mode, a homogeneous liquid crystal mode, Various modes of liquid crystal panels such as a guest-host liquid crystal mode, a polymer dispersed liquid crystal mode, and a holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal mode may be used. The effect display device 5 is not limited to a liquid crystal display device, and an EL display device such as an organic EL display device or an inorganic EL display device may be used.

  The effect display device 5 is provided with a color filter (not shown). Light from the backlight of the effect display device 5 is blocked by a light shielding portion (lattice-like portion) such as a matrix wiring and a black matrix of a liquid crystal panel, and colored light (color light) is passed through a color filter in a portion other than the light shielding portion. ) To the front side. The portion through which the colored light is transmitted is the pixel 5F (see FIG. 6). The plurality of pixels 5F in the effect display device 5 have substantially the same size.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the effect display device 5 includes a plurality of pixels 5 </ b> F. On the other hand, a plurality of concave portions 510 are arranged in the light emitting region 506 of the light guide plate 501. For this reason, when the effect display device 5 in the back is seen through the light guide plate 501 in front of the player, the array pattern Pt1 (hereinafter referred to as “pixel pattern”) of the plurality of pixels 5F in the effect display device 5. ) And the arrangement pattern Pt2 (hereinafter referred to as “concave pattern”) of the plurality of concave portions 510 in the light guide plate 501 may interfere with each other to generate moire (interference fringes).

  Here, “moire” means a striped pattern (mottled pattern) that is visually generated due to a shift in the period when a plurality of regularly arranged repeating patterns (dot and line patterns) are superimposed. Moire itself has a cycle. The moiré cycle is determined by the combination of the cycles of the underlying pattern. Physically, “moire” can be said to be a beat phenomenon of two spatial frequencies. Here, “spatial frequency” means the number of repeated waves of light and dark included in a unit length when a predetermined pattern is regarded as a pattern (wave) that alternately repeats light and dark.

  Hereinafter, the spatial frequency of the pixel pattern Pt1 is W1, and the spatial frequency of the concave pattern Pt2 is W2. At this time, the moire spatial frequency Wm is derived from the difference between the spatial frequency W1 of the pixel pattern and the spatial frequency W2 of the concave pattern (Wm = W1−W2). When the moire spatial frequency Wm is small, the width of the moire light / dark pattern is large. Conversely, when the moire spatial frequency Wm is large, the width of the moire light / dark pattern is small.

  By the way, it is known that there is a correlation between the above-described spatial frequency and the ability of human eyes to discriminate. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the relationship between spatial frequency and contrast sensitivity (light / dark ratio sensitivity). In FIG. 5, the horizontal axis represents the spatial frequency and the vertical axis represents the contrast sensitivity. As shown in FIG. 5, the contrast sensitivity becomes maximum when the spatial frequency is a predetermined value. The contrast sensitivity increases sharply until the spatial frequency reaches a predetermined value, decreases sharply after the spatial frequency exceeds the predetermined value, and then becomes minimum. Thus, it can be seen from the relationship between the spatial frequency and the contrast sensitivity that the human eye cannot perceive an object having a certain spatial frequency. Accordingly, when the spatial frequency Wm of the moire is increased to some extent, the human eye cannot perceive the moire.

  If the arrangement pattern is the same between the pixel pattern Pt1 and the concave pattern Pt2, the spatial frequency W1 of the pixel pattern Pt1 and the spatial frequency W2 of the concave pattern Pt2 are the same. In this case, since the spatial frequency Wm of the moire is 0 (W1−W2 = 0), the contrast sensitivity is minimum and the moire cannot be perceived.

  However, in actuality, it is difficult for the pixel pattern Pt1 and the concave pattern Pt2 to have the same arrangement pattern when the player displays the effect display device 5 and the light guide plate device 500 in front as viewed from the player. The spatial frequency Wm of the moire becomes a value close to 0 (W1−W2≈0). In this case, the spatial frequency Wm of the moire becomes a value close to the spatial frequency with very high contrast sensitivity (see FIG. 5), and the moire is easily perceived.

  As a result of diligent research, the present inventor has determined the arrangement direction of the plurality of pixels 5F in the effect display device 5 (hereinafter referred to as “pixel arrangement direction”) and the arrangement direction of the plurality of recesses 510 in the light guide plate 501 (hereinafter referred to as “recess arrangement”). It was found that the occurrence of moire can be suppressed by changing the direction. Specifically, the present inventor makes the moire not worry about the moire when the player executes the game by making the pixel arrangement direction and the recess arrangement direction different so that the spatial frequency Wm of the moire is maximized. In addition, it was found that moiré can be made difficult to perceive.

  FIGS. 6A and 6B are explanatory diagrams showing an example in which the pixel pattern Pt1 in the effect display device 5 and the concave pattern Pt2 in the light guide plate 501 are enlarged, and FIG. 6A is a pixel pattern Pt1. FIG. 6B is a diagram showing an example in which the pixel pattern Pt1 and the concave pattern Pt2 are crossed at an angle θ. In FIG. 6 (A) and FIG. 6 (B), the pixel pattern Pt1 is indicated by a solid line, and the recess pattern Pt2 is indicated by a broken line.

  As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the pixel pattern Pt1 is an array pattern in which pixels 5F that are rectangular in plan view are arrayed in a grid pattern. On the other hand, the concave pattern Pt2 is an arrangement pattern in which circular concave portions 510 in a plan view are arranged in a lattice pattern. The arrangement direction of the pixels 5F is a direction (for example, a horizontal direction) parallel to the virtual line L1 passing through the centers of the plurality of pixels 5F arranged in a stripe shape. The arrangement direction of the recesses 510 is a direction parallel to an imaginary line L2 passing through the centers of the plurality of recesses 510 arranged in a stripe shape.

  In this embodiment, the pixel pitches P11, P12 (first pixel pitch P11, second pixel pitch P12) and the concave pitches P21, P22 (first concave pitch P21, second concave pitch P22) are substantially the same. (P11≈P21, P12≈P22). The first pixel pitch P11 and the second pixel pitch P12 are substantially the same (P11≈P12), and the first recess pitch P21 and the second recess pitch P22 are approximately the same (P21≈P22). ). Here, the pixel pitches P11 and P12 are distances between the centers of the two adjacent pixels 5F, and the recess pitches P21 and P22 are distances between the centers of the two adjacent recesses 510. The first pixel pitch P11 is the distance between the centers of two pixels 5F adjacent in the direction along the virtual line L1, and the second pixel pitch P12 is the distance between the two pixels 5F adjacent in the direction orthogonal to the virtual line L1. The distance between the centers. The first recess pitch P21 is the distance between the centers of the two recesses 510 adjacent in the direction along the virtual line L2, and the second recess pitch P22 is the distance between the two recesses 510 adjacent in the direction orthogonal to the virtual line L2. The distance between the centers.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, in the comparative example, the plurality of pixels 5F in the pixel pattern Pt1 and the plurality of recesses 510 in the recess pattern Pt1 are respectively arranged in one direction in a stripe shape. In the comparative example, the virtual line L1 and the virtual line L2 are parallel to each other, and the pixel array direction is the same as the recess array direction.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6B, in the embodiment, the plurality of recesses 510 in the recess pattern Pt1 are arranged in different directions with respect to the plurality of pixels 5F in the pixel pattern Pt1. In the embodiment, the virtual line L1 and the virtual line L2 form an angle θ, and the pixel array direction and the recess array direction are different.

  In this embodiment, the angle θ is set so that the spatial frequency Wm of the moire is maximized. The inventor conducted an experiment to calculate a preferable angle setting from the viewpoint of suppressing the perception of moire. In the sample of this experiment, the effect display device 5 is disposed on the back side of the transmission region of the light guide plate 501, the effect display device 5 is fixed, and the light guide plate 501 is in a range from an angle of 0 ° to an angle of 90 ° with reference to the center. And shifted by 5 °. Then, the degree of moire was confirmed by visually observing each created sample with a plurality of people. As a result, the present inventors have obtained the following knowledge.

  For example, the angle θ is preferably set in a range of 20 ° to 70 °. By setting the angle θ in the range of 20 ° or more and 70 ° or less, the spatial frequency Wm of moire can be increased to some extent, and the perception of moire can be suppressed. More preferably, the angle θ is about 45 °. By setting the angle θ to about 45 °, the spatial frequency Wm of moire can be maximized and the perception of moire can be suppressed to the maximum. In the example of FIG. 6B, the angle θ is about 30 °.

  FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7C are explanatory diagrams of the degree of moire in the comparative example in which the pixel pattern Pt1 and the recess pattern Pt2 are aligned in the same direction. FIG. 7B is an enlarged view of the pixel pattern Pt1 showing 53 × 53 pixels 5F, FIG. 7B is an enlarged view of the recessed portion pattern Pt2, and a plurality of recessed portions 510 are shown. FIG. It is a figure which shows the grade of a moire when the part shown by A) and FIG. 7 (B) is arrange | positioned back and forth.

  FIG. 8A, FIG. 8B, and FIG. 8C are explanatory diagrams of the degree of moire in the example in which the pixel pattern Pt1 and the concave pattern Pt2 intersect at an angle θ. ) Is the same as FIG. 7A, and FIG. 8B is an enlarged view of the concave pattern Pt2 shifted by an angle θ with respect to the center thereof, and a plurality of concave portions 510 (the portions indicated by FIG. 7B are shown). FIG. 8C is a diagram showing the degree of moire when the portions shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B are arranged back and forth. In the example of FIG. 8B, the angle θ is about 30 °.

  As shown in FIG. 8C, the pixel pattern Pt1 and the recess pattern Pt2 intersect each other at an angle θ, that is, the pixel array direction and the recess array direction are different from each other by an angle θ. As shown in FIG. 7 (C), the pixel pattern Pt1 and the concave pattern Pt2 are arranged in the same direction, that is, the pixel pattern Pt1 rather than the arrangement in which the pixel arrangement direction and the concave arrangement direction are the same direction. Since the ratio of interference between the concave pattern Pt2 and the concave pattern Pt2 can be reduced, a sharp display can be obtained and a monotonous display can be prevented. The reason for this is considered to be that the moire spatial frequency Wm is increased to some extent by setting the angle θ to about 30 ° to suppress the moire perception.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 6B, the light guide plate 501 is arranged so that the arrangement direction of the recesses 510 is inclined with respect to the effect display device 5. For example, the effect display device 5 is fixed such that the longitudinal direction is horizontal, and the concave pattern Pt2 in the light guide plate 501 is formed to be oblique to the pixel pattern Pt1 in the effect display device 5. Further, the light guide plate 501 may be rotated by an angle θ with respect to the effect display device 5 so that the arrangement direction of the recesses 510 is inclined with respect to the effect display device 5. That is, it is only necessary to change the arrangement of the light guide plate 501 without changing the arrangement of the effect display device 5 (if the light guide plate 501 is arranged so that the arrangement direction of the recesses 510 is inclined with respect to the effect display device 5). Good). Note that the arrangement of both the effect display device 5 and the light guide plate 501 may be changed without being limited to the arrangement of the light guide plate 501 alone.

  Thus, for example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the light guide plate 501 is provided in front of the effect display device 5 so that a part of the light emitting area 506 overlaps the display screen of the effect display device 5. Yes. In this embodiment, a part of the light emitting unit 506D in the light emitting area 506 is provided at a position that does not overlap the display screen of the effect display device 5, but the entire light emitting area 506 is the display screen of the effect display device 5.

  That is, the effect control CPU 120 is capable of executing a combined effect that executes both the light guide plate effect and the movable body effect together.

  Next, FIG. 10 to FIG. 12 show examples of effects executed by the effect control CPU 120 when the variation pattern specified from the variation pattern designation command received from the game control microcomputer 100 is a super reach variation pattern. This will be explained based on. FIGS. 10A and 10B are diagrams illustrating a state in which the variation display of the effect symbol is started, FIG. 10B is a state in which the light guide plate effect is being executed, and FIG. FIGS. 11A and 11B are explanatory views showing a state in which a movable body effect is being executed, FIG. 11B is a state in which a super reach effect is being executed, and FIG. 11C is a state in which an operation promotion effect is being executed. is there. 12A shows a state in which a combined effect is being executed, FIG. 12B shows a state of the light guide plate in FIG. 12A, FIG. 12C shows a state of the movable body in FIG. (E) is a display mode in the case of a big hit, and (F) is an explanatory view showing a display mode in the case of a loss.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (A), the effect control CPU 120 receives the change pattern designation command from the game control microcomputer 100, and whether or not the effect such as the light guide plate effect and the movable object effect is executed. A pattern or the like is determined, and the effect display device 5 starts to display effect symbols in a variable manner. At this time, the light guide plate LED 502, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B, and the second effect LEDs 323A and 323C are turned off.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (B), after the effect symbol variation display is started, a light guide plate effect in which the light guide plate LED 502 emits light in a predetermined light emission mode is executed at a predetermined timing. In the present embodiment, since the light emitting area 506 is disposed so as to overlap the front of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, from the player side, from the light emission area 506 in front of the variable display image of the effect symbols. The figure image that appears appears to be light-emitting.

  As shown in FIG. 10C, after the light guide plate LED 502 is turned off and the light guide plate effect is finished, the effect symbol change display state is set to a predetermined reach state at a predetermined timing, and the effect symbol display area 5L, An operation promotion effect for displaying an image prompting the operation of the push button 31B at a position below 5C and 5R is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (A), when the operation of the push button 31B is accepted during the period in which the operation promotion effect is executed in FIG. 10 (C), or the operation valid period is not accepted without accepting the operation of the push button 31B. When it is finished, a movable body effect is executed to notify that it has developed into super reach. Specifically, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LEDs 323A and 323C are turned on, the first movable body 301 is moved from the first retracted position to the first intermediate position, and the second movable body 302 is moved to the second position. Move from the retracted position to the second intermediate position.

  In this state, the first movable body 301 is disposed at the upper part of the display screen of the effect display device 5, and the second movable body 302 is disposed at the left portion of the display screen of the effect display device 5. In addition, a character image is displayed at a position that does not overlap the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 on the display screen of the effect display device 5, and a variation display image of the effect symbol reduced than usual is displayed.

  Note that, in the first intermediate position and the second intermediate position, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B of the first movable body 301 and the second effect LED 323C of the second movable body 302 are non-light emitting portions 507A and 507B, It is arranged at a position not corresponding to 507C.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11 (B), the first movable body 301 is moved to the first retracted position, the second movable body 302 is moved to the second retracted position, and the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LED 323A. , 323C is turned off and the movable body effect is ended, and then the super display effect (for example, displaying an image in which the character battles) is executed on the effect display device 5. Then, as shown in FIG. 11C, after starting the super reach effect, an operation promotion effect for displaying an image prompting the operation of the stick controller 31A is executed at a predetermined timing.

  The operation is effective when the operation of the stick controller 31A (or push button 31B) is accepted or the operation of the stick controller 31A (or push button 31B) is not accepted during the period in which the operation promotion effect is executed in FIG. When the period ends, if the variation pattern is a big hit variation pattern, after performing the combined effect shown in FIG. 12 (A), as shown in FIG. 12 (E), the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, A predetermined effect design is aligned with 5R (for example, “7-7-7”) and stopped to notify that the big hit has been determined.

  When the variation pattern is a deviation variation pattern, the combined effect shown in FIG. 12A is not executed, and the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are predetermined as shown in FIG. 12F. The effect symbols are not aligned (for example, “7-6-7”), and a stop display is made to notify that the deviation has been confirmed.

  In the combined effect, the effect control CPU 120 receives the operation of the stick controller 31A (or push button 31B) in the period in which the operation promotion effect is executed in FIG. 11C, or the stick controller 31A (or push button). When the operation valid period ends without accepting the operation of 31B), the light guide plate LED 502 is turned on to execute the light guide plate effect (see FIG. 12B).

  Further, the first effect motor 311 and the second effect motor 321 are driven to move the first movable body 301 from the first retracted position to the first effect position and the second movable body 302 from the first retracted position to the second effect. Move to position. When the movement of the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 is started, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LEDs 323A and 323C are turned off. Then, when the first movable body 301 moves to the first effect position and the second movable body 302 moves to the second effect position, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LED 323C are turned on (FIG. 12C )reference).

  In addition, in the display area of the effect display device 5, a change display image of the effect symbol is displayed at a position not overlapping the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302, and the light guide plate LED 502 and the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B are displayed. In addition, a decoration image (for example, an effect image or the like) that decorates the light emitting area 506, the first movable body 301, and the second movable body 302 is displayed as an effect display corresponding to the light emission effect that lights the second effect LED 323C ( (See FIG. 12D).

  Specifically, the first movable body 301 moves from the first retracted position to the first presentation position, so that the plurality of first presentation LEDs 313A of the first movable body 301 are non-light emitting portions on the back surface of the light guide plate 501. The plurality of first effect LEDs 313B are disposed at positions corresponding to the plurality of non-light-emitting portions 507B on the back surface of the light guide plate 501, and the second movable body 302 includes a plurality of second ones. The effect LED 323C is disposed at a position corresponding to each of the plurality of non-light emitting portions 507C on the back surface of the light guide plate 501. The plurality of second effect LEDs 323A of the second movable body 302 are also arranged at positions corresponding to the non-light emitting portion 507A, but cannot overlap with the back surface of the first movable body 301 and cannot be seen from the non-light emitting portion 507A. The second effect LED 323A may be turned on.

  As described above, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B of the first movable body 301 and the second effect LED 323C of the second movable body 302 correspond to the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C on the back surface of the light guide plate 501, respectively. By being arranged close to the position, the first effect LEDs 313A, 313B and the second effect LED 323C can be viewed from the front through the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, 507C of the light guide plate 501, respectively.

  In this state, when the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LED 323C are turned on, the light emitted forward from each of the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LED 323C is emitted from the light guide plate 501. The light is incident from the back so as to be substantially orthogonal to the back. In addition, since the plurality of concave portions 510 are not formed in the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C, the light emitted forward from the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LED 323C is guided to the light guide plate 501. Since almost everything is emitted forward from the front surface without being diffused or reflected inside, the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C appear to emit light with high brightness and intensity locally.

  On the other hand, in the light emitting portions 506A, 506B, and 506C around the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C, the light from the light guide plate LED 502 that is incident from the right end surface 501a of the light guide plate 501 is reflected by a large number of concave portions 510 and forwards. By being emitted, the entire area of each of the light emitting portions 506A, 506B, and 506C emits light substantially uniformly.

  As described above, the effect control CPU 120 has the first movable body in a state where the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LED 323C are arranged so as to correspond to the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C, respectively, in the composite effect. 301 and the second movable body 302 can be moved to cause the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LED 323C to emit light, and the light guide plate LED 502 can emit the light emission region 506. It is.

  In the light emission effect, the light emitting units 506A, 506B, and 506C emit light by surface light emission, while the non-light emitting units 507A, 507B, and 507C emit light from the first effect LED 313A, 313B and the second effect LED 323C. The light is emitted locally, and the respective light emission modes are different.

  The light guide plate device 500 is a so-called edge light type display device that causes the light emitting region 506 to emit light by reflecting light incident from the right end surface 501a of the light transmissive light guide plate 501 forward. In some cases, the plurality of recesses 510 provided in the light emitting area 506, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B, which are light sources, and the second effect LED 323C are arranged behind the effect display device 5, the first movable body 301, and the second movable By turning on the light guide plate 501 without obstructing the visibility of the body 302 and the like, it is possible to cause a predetermined figure or the like to be displayed and emitted at the front position of the effect display device 5, the first movable body 301, and the second movable body 302. However, only a part of the light emitting region 506 cannot be locally emitted brighter than other regions.

  In addition, it is conceivable that the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C are caused to emit light by the light from the effect display device 5 fixed to the back side of the light guide plate 501, but the second light emission between the effect display device 5 and the light guide plate 501. Since the 1st movable body 301, the 2nd movable body 302, etc. are arrange | positioned, in the light radiate | emitted from the display screen of the production | presentation display apparatus 5 while leaving | separating from the light-guide plate 501, it is high-intensity light like a light emitting diode. Can't get.

  Accordingly, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LED 323C provided on the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 provided in the vicinity of the back surface of the light guide plate 501 are replaced with the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C. It is possible to cause the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C to emit light with a stronger light than the light emitting region 506, while emitting light by moving to a position corresponding to Become. That is, since the non-light emitting region 507 partially formed in the light emitting region 506 that emits light can be locally emitted with light having a light emission mode different from that of the light emitting region 506, the production effect of the light emitting effect is improved. be able to. Moreover, since the light sources of the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 can be retracted to the first retracted position and the second retracted position when no light is emitted, the visibility of the effect display device 5 is not hindered.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the embodiment of the present invention, the first movable body 301 having the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B as the light emitting section and the second effect LED 323C having the second effect LED 323C. A light emitting region 506 as a first region that forms a predetermined light guide pattern that reflects light from the movable body 302, the light guide plate LED 502 incident inside from the right end surface 501a to the front, and emits the light from the front surface, and the predetermined region. And a light guide plate 501 as a light guide part provided with a non-light emitting area 507 as a second area that does not form a light guide pattern, and the effect control CPU 120 in the combined effect, the non-light emitting parts 507A, 507B, The first movable body 301 and the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LED 323C are arranged so as to correspond to each of 507C. The second movable body 302 is moved, and the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B of the first movable body 301 and the second effect LED 323C of the second movable body 302 cause the non-light emitting area 507 of the light guide plate 501 to emit light. The light emission effect of causing the light emitting region 506 to emit light by the light guide plate LED 502 can be executed.

  In this way, the light guide plate 501 not only emits light in the light emitting region 506 that forms the predetermined light guide pattern, but also in the non-light emitting region 507 that does not form the predetermined light guide pattern. Since the first production LEDs 313A and 313B and the second production LED 323C of the second movable body 302 can emit light, the production effect of the light production can be improved.

  In addition, the light guide plate 501 is provided in front of the effect display device 5 so that a part of the light emitting region 506 overlaps the display screen of the effect display device 5. The image or the like formed in the light emitting region 506 of the light guide plate 501 can be displayed in front of the light.

  In the present embodiment, in the combined effect, while the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 are moved toward the first effect position and the second effect position, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B By turning off the second effect LED 323C and turning on the first effect LED 313A, 313B and the second effect LED 323C when the first effect position and the second effect position are reached, the player turns on the first effect LED 323C. It becomes difficult to understand how the LEDs for LED 313A, 313B and the LED for second effect 323C move. Further, in the combined effect, the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 move to the first effect position and the second effect position different from the first intermediate position and the second intermediate position that move in the movable object effect. When the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 reach the first presentation position and the second presentation position and turn on the first presentation LEDs 313A and 313B and the second presentation LED 323C, they are surprising to the player. Can be given.

  In this embodiment, while the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 are moved toward the first effect position and the second effect position, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LED are used. Although the LED 323C is turned off and the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LED 323C are turned on when the first effect position and the second effect position are reached, the present invention is limited to this. The first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LED 323C are turned on when the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 are moved toward the first effect position and the second effect position. You may make it do.

  In the present embodiment, in the movable body effect shown in FIG. 11A, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B of the first movable body 301 and the second effect LEDs 323A and 323C of the second movable body 302 are lit. In the combined effect shown in FIG. 12A, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B of the first movable body 301 and the second effect LED 323C of the second movable body 302 are turned on, that is, the LEDs provided on the movable object are provided. In the case of using not only the composite effect but also other movable body effects, the LED that lights up in the movable effect shown in FIG. 11 (A) and the LED that lights up in the composite effect shown in FIG. 12 (A) are different from each other. Although illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, You may make the LED to light the same by the movable body effect shown to FIG. 11 (A), and the composite effect shown to FIG. 12 (A).

  In addition, when LED which lights by the movable body effect shown in FIG. 11 (A) and LED which lights by the composite effect shown in FIG. 12 (A) make a mutually different form, for example, the movable shown in FIG. 11 (A) In the body effect, the first effect LED 313A may be turned off, and in the composite effect shown in FIG. 12A, the first effect LED 313A may be turned on. In this way, the first effect LED 313A that does not light in the movable body effect is lit at a position corresponding to the non-light-emitting portion 507A as the second region in the composite effect, which may give the player an unexpectedness. it can.

  Also, in this embodiment, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effect LEDs 323A and 323C are turned on by the movable object effect shown in FIG. 11A and the composite effect shown in FIG. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the light emission mode (for example, blinking) of the LED that lights up in the movable body effect shown in FIG. 11A and the LED that lights up in the combined effect shown in FIG. Cycle, lighting color, brightness, etc.) may be the same or different.

  In the present embodiment, the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C as the second regions are regions surrounded by the light emitting region 506, respectively, and as shown in FIG. Since the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C that do not emit light are easily understood when only the single effect is executed, the light emission that turns on the light guide plate LED 502, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B, and the second effect LED 323C in the combined effect. Since it becomes easier to understand that the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C that should not emit light when the performance is performed, the effect of the light emission effect is improved. In this embodiment, the periphery of the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C is surrounded by the light emitting region 506, but the entire periphery may not necessarily be surrounded.

  In the present embodiment, there are a plurality of movable bodies (for example, the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302), and the effect control CPU 120 is provided in each of the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B, and 507C in the composite effect. The first effector 313A of the first movable body 301 is moved by moving the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 to the state in which the first effector LEDs 313A and 313B and the second effector LED 323C are arranged. , 313 </ b> B and the second effect LED 323 </ b> C of the second movable body 302 can cause the non-light emitting area 507 of the light guide plate 501 to emit light and the light emitting effect of causing the light emitting area 506 to emit light by the light guide plate LED 502. By doing so, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B of the first movable body 301 and the second effect LED 323C of the second movable body 302 can be made to correspond to the non-light emitting portions 507A, 507B and 507C. The production effect of the production can be improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect display device 5 is provided, and the effect control CPU 120 is located at a position not overlapping the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302 in the display area of the effect display device 5 in the composite effect. A decoration image that decorates the light emitting area 506, the first movable body 301, and the second movable body 302 as an effect display corresponding to the light emission effect that lights the light guide plate LED 502, the first effect LEDs 313A, 313B, and the second effect LED 323C. (For example, an effect image or the like) is displayed (see FIG. 12D). By doing in this way, since the effect display by the effect display device 5 is added to the light emission effect, the effect of the light emission effect can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 5 displays an effect image as an example of an effect display corresponding to a light emission effect that lights the light guide plate LED 502, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B, and the second effect LED 323C. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an image such as a character or a character may be displayed. Further, the effect display device 5 may be displayed in blackout so that the light emission effect of lighting the light guide plate LED 502, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B, and the second effect LED 323C may be conspicuous.

  Next, the display mode of the effect display device 5 in the volume adjustment process will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The effect control CPU 120 executes a volume adjustment process for adjusting the volume by receiving an operation of the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B from the player during the execution of the variable display or the big hit game. Note that a gauge-like volume status display VL (see FIG. 13) is always displayed on the upper right portion of the effect display device 5 in the present embodiment in a state other than the execution of the super reach effect or the big hit game as described later. Thus, the player can grasp the currently set volume by the display mode of the volume status display JL.

  As shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, when the player operates the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B during the variable display, the volume output from the speakers 8L and 8R is adjusted, The display mode of the volume status display VL changes according to the adjustment of the volume. Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, the volume status display VL is erased from the upper right part of the effect display device 5 in response to the start of the super reach effect in the effect display device 5. Even when the volume status display VL is erased in this way, the volume output from the speakers 8L and 8R can be changed by the player operating the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B. After the super reach effect is finished and the variable display is finished, the display of the volume status display VL is started again in the upper right part of the effect display device 5.

  Next, when the variable display result is a big hit, the volume status display VL is displayed again when the big hit game effect (big hit effect) is started, as shown in FIGS. 14 (A) and 14 (B). It is erased from the upper right part of the effect display device 5. During the big hit effect, the player can adjust the volume output from the speakers 8L and 8R by operating the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B. Thus, during the big hit effect, the sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R. When the volume to be adjusted is adjusted, as shown in FIGS. 14C and 14D, the volume status display VL corresponding to the volume adjustment is displayed in the upper right part of the effect display device 5. The volume status display VL during the big hit effect is erased again from the upper right portion of the effect display device 5 when a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses from the start of display.

  Further, during execution of the jackpot effect shown in FIG. 14B, the volume status display VL is erased from the upper right part of the effect display device 5 until the player operates the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B, and the game The display of the volume status display VL is maintained in the upper right part of the effect display device 5 until a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses after the user operates the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B, thereby producing the effect of the big hit effect It is possible to display the adjustment status of the volume of the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R according to the player's request while suppressing a decrease in the effect, and to improve the fun of the game.

  In the embodiment, when the super reach effect is executed, the volume display VL is deleted from the effect display device 5, and the effect display device 5 is provided on the condition that the super reach effect ends and the variable display ends. FIG. 15 illustrates an example in which the volume status display VL is displayed again. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a modification, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15D, the volume status is displayed. The display VL may be erased from the effect display device 5 over a period from the start of execution of the super reach effect until the change display ends and a new change display starts.

  In the embodiment, when the super reach effect is executed, the volume display VL is deleted from the effect display device 5, and the effect display device 5 is provided on the condition that the super reach effect ends and the variable display ends. The volume status display VL is displayed again, and the volume status display VL is erased again from the effect display device 5 during execution of the big hit effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. The volume status display VL may be erased from the effect display device 5 over a period from the start of the super reach effect to the end of the jackpot effect. Even when the volume status display VL is erased from the effect display device 5 during the period from the start of the super reach effect to the end of the jackpot effect, the player operates the volume adjustment buttons 42A and 42B. When the volume of the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R is changed (adjusted), the volume status display VL is displayed over a predetermined period (for example, 3 seconds) in a display mode corresponding to the changed volume. May be.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which displays the gauge-like volume condition display VL in the upper right part of the effect display apparatus 5 was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, The upper right part of the effect display apparatus 5 The volume status display VL may be displayed at the location. Further, the volume status display VL is not limited to a gauge shape, and may be a numerical display corresponding to a set volume.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, as the effect settings that can be set by the player, the volume of the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, the light amount of the effect LED 9, the mini character displayed during the game, the big hit BGM, and the reach effect However, the present invention is not limited to this and the execution frequency of a specific effect is not limited to this. Etc. may be changeable.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the embodiment, the movable effect device 300 has two movable bodies (for example, the first movable body 301 and the second movable body 302), but the present invention is not limited to this. Three or more movable bodies may be included, or only one movable body may be included.

  In the embodiment, the first movable body 301 is provided with a plurality of first effect LEDs 313A and 313B as light emitting units, and the second movable body 302 is provided with a plurality of second effect LEDs 323A and 323C as light emitting units. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only one light emitting unit may be provided.

  In the embodiment, in the combined effect, each first effect LED 313A of the first movable body 301 has a non-light emitting part 507A, each first effect LED 313B has a respective non-light emitting part 507B, and each second effector 302 has a first effect. The two-effect LED 323C is arranged at a position corresponding to each of the non-light emitting portions 507C, but the present invention is not limited to this, and at least one of a plurality provided in the movable body. If the light emitting unit is arranged at a position corresponding to the second region of the light guide unit, all the light emitting units of the movable body are not necessarily arranged at a position corresponding to the second region of the light guide unit. Also good.

  Moreover, in the said Example, in composite production, light emission of one movable body in the position corresponding to one 2nd area | region (for example, any of non-light-emitting part 507A, 507B, 507C) provided in the light guide part. (For example, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B of the first movable body 301 or the second effect LEDs 323A and 323C of the second movable body 302) are arranged, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the light emitting units of the two movable bodies may be arranged at positions corresponding to one second region.

  Moreover, in the said Example, in the composite production | presentation, in the position corresponding to each of several 2nd area | region (for example, non-light-emitting part 507A, 507B, 507C) provided in the light guide part, the light emission part of a several movable body ( For example, the first effect LEDs 313A and 313B of the first movable body 301 or the second effect LEDs 323A and 323C of the second movable body 302 are arranged, but the present invention is limited to this. A plurality of light emitting units provided in one movable body may be arranged at positions corresponding to the plurality of second regions provided in the light guide unit instead of the ones.

  Moreover, in the said Example, in the composite production, the light emission part of the same movable body was always arrange | positioned in the position corresponding to one 2nd area | region provided in the light guide part. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one light emitting unit provided in the movable body is selectively arranged in each second region at a position corresponding to the plurality of second regions provided in the light guide unit. You may be made to do. Moreover, you may make it arrange | position the light emission part of a several movable body selectively in the position corresponding to one 2nd area | region provided in the light guide part.

  Further, the light guide unit has a plurality of light guide plates, and the second region provided in one light guide plate and the second region provided in another light guide plate among the plurality of light guide plates are arranged at different positions. The light emitting part of the movable body is selectively disposed at a position corresponding to the second region provided on one light guide plate and a position corresponding to the second region provided on another light guide plate. Also good.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form performed when notifying a big hit in super reach production was illustrated in the said Example, this invention is not limited to this, When a reach state is materialized, to super reach It may be executed at other timings during the symbol variation display, such as when the symbol variation display is started, the pseudo-ream is executed, or the like. Also, when notifying that it is a probability variation big hit by re-varying after aligning the big hit symbol, when notifying that it was promoted to a probability fluctuation big hit during the big hit, You may make it perform at other various timings, such as when alerting | reporting.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the light emission part provided in a movable body illustrated the form formed with light sources, such as light emitting diodes, such as 1st effect LED 313A, 313B and 2nd effect LED 323A, 323C, this invention has shown this. If the light emitting part is configured to be able to irradiate light, the light source is provided separately from the light emitting part, and the light emitting part emits light by being guided by a light guide member or the like. It may be configured as follows.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the light guide part was comprised by the one light guide plate 501, this invention is not limited to this, The several light guide plate provided so that it might overlap in the front-back direction It may be constituted by. In addition, when the light guide unit includes a plurality of light guide plates, an image in which the first region provided in each light guide plate is displayed by light emission may be different for each light guide plate. In this case, the light emitting unit provided on the movable body may be disposed at a position corresponding to the second region provided on at least one of the plurality of light guide plates.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which provided the 1st movable body 301 and the 2nd movable body 302 as a movable body which were movable to the up-down and left-right directions was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this. Further, it may be movable in the front-rear direction or the oblique direction. For example, the second movable body 302 may be moved forward so as to be close to the light guide plate 501 after the second movable body 302 is moved from the second retracted position to the second effect position. In this case, not the entire movable body, but only the light emitting unit may be moved forward. By doing so, the light emitting unit can be brought as close as possible to the second region. Irradiation with strong light is possible. Further, for example, a movable body that is rotatable or swingable may be applied instead of the movable body that can be displaced.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the 1st movable body 301 and the 2nd movable body 302 as a movable body were provided in the back position from the light-guide plate 501 also in the 1st retracted position or the 2nd retracted position, If it is arranged at a position corresponding to the non-light emitting area 507 on the back side of the light guide plate 501 at least at the first effect position and the second effect position, the guide is not necessarily introduced at the first retracted position or the second retracted position. It does not have to be arranged at a position behind the light plate 501.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the movable body was a structure which has light emitting diodes, such as 1st production LED 313A, 313B and 2nd production LED 323A, 323C, this invention is not limited to this, For example, a display device that can display an image may be applied. Further, when the display device is a movable body, a part of the display screen may be used as the light emitting unit, or a light source provided separately on the frame member of the display screen may be used as the light emitting unit.

  Moreover, in the said Example, pixel pitch P11, P12 (1st pixel pitch P11, 2nd pixel pitch P12) and recessed part pitch P21, P22 (1st recessed part pitch P21, 2nd recessed part pitch P22) are substantially the same. In this example (P11≈P21, P12≈P22), the pixel pitches P11 and P12 may be different from the concave pitches P21 and P22 (P11 ≠ P21, P12 ≠ P22). Specifically, the pixel pitches P11 and P12 may be larger than the concave pitches P21 and P22 (P11> P21, P12> P22), or the pixel pitches P11 and P12 may be smaller than the concave pitches P21 and P22. (P11 <P21, P12 <P22). Thus, by making the pixel pitches P11 and P12 and the recess pitches P21 and P22 different, the relationship between the plurality of pixels 5F in the effect display device 5 and the plurality of recesses 510 in the light guide plate 501 further interfere with each other. Therefore, the occurrence of moire can be effectively suppressed.

  In the above embodiment, the first pixel pitch P11 and the second pixel pitch P12 are substantially the same (P11≈P12), and the first recess pitch P21 and the second recess pitch P22 are substantially the same. However, the first pixel pitch P11 may be different from the second pixel pitch P12 (P11 ≠ P12), and the first recess pitch P21 and the second recess pitch P22 may be different from each other. May be different (P21 ≠ P22). Specifically, the first pixel pitch P11 may be larger than the second pixel pitch P12 (P11> P12), or the first pixel pitch P11 may be smaller than the second pixel pitch P12 (P11). <P12). Further, the first recess pitch P21 may be larger than the second recess pitch P22 (P21> P22), or the first recess pitch P21 may be smaller than the second recess pitch P22 (P21 <P22). . As described above, by making the first pixel pitch P11 and the second pixel pitch P12 different, or by making the first recess pitch P21 and the second recess pitch P22 different, a plurality of effects in the effect display device 5 can be obtained. Since the relationship between the pixel 5F and the plurality of recesses 510 in the light guide plate 501 can be set so as not to interfere with each other, the occurrence of moire can be effectively suppressed.

  In the embodiment, only one light guide plate 501 is provided. However, a plurality of light guide plates 501 may be provided. In this case, the plurality of light guide plates 501 may have different concave array directions. For example, when the recess arrangement direction is different between the two light guide plates (first light guide plate and second light guide plate), the angle θ1 formed by the pixel arrangement direction and the recess arrangement direction in the first light guide plate is set as follows: The angle θ2 formed by the pixel array direction and the recess array direction in the second light guide plate may be larger (θ1> θ2), or conversely, the angle θ1 may be smaller than the angle θ2 (θ1). <Θ2). In this way, by making the plurality of light guide plates 501 have different concave array directions, the relationship between the concave portions 510 of the plurality of light guide plates 501 can be made to be in a relationship that does not interfere with each other, and therefore moiré occurs. Can be effectively suppressed.

  Further, the plurality of light guide plates 501 may have different distances from the effect display device 5, and the concave portion arrangement directions may be different according to the distances. For example, in the case where two light guide plates (first light guide plate and second light guide plate) have different distances from the effect display device 5 and the recess arrangement directions differ according to the distances, the first light guide plate The distance D11 between the display device 5 and the effect display device 5 is made larger than the distance D12 between the second light guide plate and the effect display device 5 (D11> D12). Conversely, the distance D11 is made larger than the distance D12. It may be made smaller (D11 <D12). Here, the distance D11 is the distance between the image display surface (front surface) of the effect display device 5 and the back surface (rear surface) of the first light guide plate, and the distance D11 is the image display surface (front surface) of the effect display device 5. And the back surface (rear surface) of the second light guide plate. Then, according to the distances D11 and D12, when the relationship between the distances D11 and D12 is D11> D12, an angle θ1 formed by the pixel arrangement direction and the concave arrangement direction in the first light guide plate is set to the pixel arrangement direction and the first arrangement direction. 2 may be larger than the angle θ2 formed with the concave array direction in the light guide plate (θ1> θ2). Conversely, when the relationship between the distances D11 and D12 is D11 <D12, the angle θ1 is set to the angle It may be smaller than θ2 (θ1 <θ2). As described above, the distance between the plurality of light guide plates 501 from the effect display device 5 is different, and the concave portion arrangement direction is different according to the distance, so that the relationship between the concave portions 510 of the plurality of light guide plates 501 can be expressed. Since it can be set as the relationship which does not interfere mutually according to the distance from the display apparatus 5, generation | occurrence | production of a moire can be suppressed effectively.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the plurality of pixels 5F and the plurality of concave portions 510 are arranged in a stripe shape (striped arrangement pattern) is shown. However, the pixel pattern Pt1 and the concave pattern Pt2 are different from the stripe arrangement pattern. An array pattern may be used. For example, the arrangement pattern may be a delta arrangement pattern or a mosaic arrangement pattern. In this way, by making the pixel pattern Pt1 and the concave pattern Pt2 different from the stripe arrangement pattern, the relationship between the pixel pattern Pt1 and the concave pattern Pt2 can be further prevented from interfering with each other. The occurrence of moire can be effectively suppressed.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the some recessed part 510 showed the substantially same magnitude | size, the some recessed part 510 may be made into a different magnitude | size. In this way, by making the plurality of recesses 510 different in size, the relationship between the plurality of pixels 5F and the plurality of recesses 510 can be made to be a relationship that does not further interfere with each other. Can be suppressed.

  In the above embodiment, when the effect display device 5 in the back is seen through the light guide plate 501 in front of the player as viewed from the player, the pixel pattern Pt1 and the recess pattern Pt2 interfere with each other to cause moire. Although an example of the case where it occurs is shown, it may be a case where moire occurs due to other than the interference between the pixel pattern Pt1 and the concave pattern Pt2. For example, the effect display device 5 has a structure in which light shielding portions such as a matrix wiring of a liquid crystal panel and a black matrix are arranged in a lattice pattern, and therefore, moire may be generated due to interference between the light shielding portions and the concave pattern Pt2. In this way, even when moire occurs due to interference between the light shielding portion and the recess pattern Pt2, the relationship between the light shielding portion and the recess pattern Pt is prevented from interfering with each other by making the pixel arrangement direction different from the recess arrangement direction. Therefore, the occurrence of moire can be suppressed.

  In the above embodiment, the light emitting area 506 of the light guide plate 501 is composed of the plurality of concave portions 510 formed on the back surface of the light guide plate 501, but the light incident on the light guide plate 501 is reflected. If the display information can be displayed on the light guide plate 501 by being emitted from the front surface of the light guide plate 501, for example, the light incident on the inside of the light guide plate 501 is not totally reflected from the front surface of the light guide plate 501. It may be a light transmission guiding portion such as a plurality of convex portions to be emitted, or is formed inside the light guide plate 501 instead of the concave portion or the convex portion formed on the front and rear surfaces of the light guide plate 501, and the light guide plate 501. It may be a reflection part or the like that reflects light incident on the light guide plate 501 so that light is emitted from the front surface.

  In the above-described embodiment, the condensing lens 504 that condenses the light from the light guide plate LED 502 in the front-rear direction and emits the light toward the left end surface of the light guide plate 501 between the light guide plate LED 502 and the light guide plate 501. Although the example provided is shown, such a condensing lens 504 may not be provided.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the example comprised so that light can enter from the right end surface 501a of the light-guide plate 501 was shown, a light source is provided in 2 sides (for example, an upper end surface and a lower end surface) of the light-guide plate 501. May be. In addition, light may be emitted from the light source to the light guide plate 501 from either the upper or lower end surface or the left and right end surfaces. Further, the light source is not limited to the LED, and other light emitters such as a cold cathode tube may be used.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the light guide plate apparatus 500 showed the example attached to the front surface of the effect display apparatus 5 of the game board 2, even if it attaches to places other than the front surface of the effect display apparatus 5 of the game board 2, it is. For example, the glass window 50a of the gaming machine frame 3 is formed by the light guide plate 501, and the light guide plate device is configured such that light is incident on the light guide plate 501, and the light guide plate is provided on the gaming machine frame 3. An apparatus 500 may be provided.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the light guide plate 501 showed the example transparent, what is necessary is just to have translucency so that display information can be displayed by reflecting the light from a light source, translucent or An opaque light guide plate may be used. Further, the light guide plate may be colored or colored and transparent.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated as an example of the gaming machine, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined number of gaming balls are enclosed in the gaming machine in a circulating manner. The so-called loaned balls lent out in response to a loan request from the player and the number of prize balls given in response to winnings are added and the number of game balls used in the game is subtracted and stored. The present invention can also be applied to an enclosed game machine. In these enclosed game machines, not the game ball but points and points are given to the player, so these points and points assigned correspond to the game value.

  In the above embodiment, a spherical game ball (pachinko ball) is applied as an example of the game medium. However, the present invention is not limited to the spherical game medium, and for example, a non-spherical game medium such as a medal. It may be.

  In the embodiment, a pachinko gaming machine is applied as an example of a gaming machine. However, for example, a game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using a gaming value. At the same time, one game is completed by deriving a variation display result to a variation display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols that can be identified, and a prize is awarded according to the variation display result derived to the variation display device. This can also be applied to a slot machine that can generate
