  By the way, normally, a movable production unit provided in a gaming machine cannot determine whether or not a malfunction has occurred unless it is operated. However, such a production unit usually has a problem that it is difficult to detect a defect because it does not operate unless certain conditions are met.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to propose a gaming machine that can easily detect a malfunction of a movable effect unit.

Mean 1: In the gaming machine,
"A gaming machine that uses gaming media to play games,
A game area in which a game medium is driven by a player's operation,
A first movable decorative body disposed at a predetermined position in the game area;
A first movable decorative body drive unit that rotationally drives the first movable decorative body around a first axis parallel to the front-rear direction provided at the left end of the first movable decorative body in front view;
A second movable decorative body disposed on the right side in front view of the first movable decorative body in the gaming area;
A second movable decorative body drive unit that rotationally drives the second movable decorative body around a second axis parallel to the front-rear direction provided at the right end of the second movable decorative body in front view,
The first and second movable decorative bodies are engaged and integrated when both the first and second movable decorative bodies are in a horizontal state,
One of the second or first movable decorative bodies is the first or second movable body so as to support the other first or second movable decorative body in a state where the first and second movable decorative bodies are integrated. Engaged with two movable ornaments,
In the second or first movable decorative body drive unit that rotationally drives the second or first movable decorative body that supports the first or second movable decorative body, the first and second movable decorative bodies are integrated. In this state, the corresponding second or first movable decorative body gives a rotational force for supporting the first or second movable decorative body to the second or first movable decorative body ". .

  Here, examples of the “first movable decorative body and the second movable decorative body” include “simulating characters, items, etc. in accordance with the concept of the gaming machine”.

  In addition, as an “engagement” method of the first movable decorative body and the second movable decorative body, for example, an engagement protrusion that protrudes toward the second movable decorative body at the tip end portion on the second movable decorative body side of the first movable decorative body. In addition, a method of providing a base-like protrusion on the second movable decorative body corresponding to the engagement protrusion and engaging with the base so as to support the engagement protrusion can be applied. .

  Moreover, as a 1st movable decoration body drive part and a 2nd movable decoration body drive part, it has a motor as a drive source, and can employ | adopt various structures which rotationally drive a decoration body based on the rotation output of a motor. In this case, as the “motor”, a brushed DC motor, a brushless DC motor, a stepping motor, or the like can be applied. An actuator other than a motor can be used as the “drive source”.

  According to the structure of the means 1, for example, in a state where the first and second movable decorative bodies are integrated, one of the second or first movable decorative bodies that support the other first or second movable decorative body is driven to rotate. When the second or first movable decorative body driving unit is malfunctioned, the first and second movable decorative bodies rotate about the corresponding first or second axis by their own weight, etc. When the two movable decorative bodies cannot be maintained in an integrated state, the defect can be easily confirmed visually. Therefore, according to the configuration of the means 1, it is possible to easily detect the malfunction of the movable effect unit.

Means 2: In the constitution of means 1,
“In the state where the first and second movable decorative bodies are integrated, the other first or second movable decorative body supported by one of the second or first movable decorative bodies is:
A first decorative body of a predetermined shape;
A second decorative body connected to one end side in the longitudinal direction of the first decorative body,
The second or first movable decorative body drive unit that rotationally drives one of the second or first movable decorative body,

It rotates together until a predetermined first tilt angle, and after the first tilt angle is exceeded, the second decorative body is connected so that it can swing around the connecting portion with the first decorative body. '' It is characterized by that.

  Here, examples of the “first decorative body and second decorative body” include a decorative body on which a three-dimensional decoration is applied. More specifically, each of the “first decorative body and the second decorative body” is formed of a transparent material that is part of the front surface of the decorative body, is colored with a predetermined pattern, and has a three-dimensional decoration. A decorative ornament with a box-shaped decorative member that is opened at the rear, a decorative lid that closes the rear of the decorative member, and a light emitting element such as an LED that is disposed between the decorative member and the decorative lid It is possible to configure such as a “comprising a substrate”.

  Moreover, as a "connection" method of a 1st decoration body and a 2nd decoration body, the connection part which protrudes in a 2nd decoration body direction is provided in a 1st decoration body, for example, and it protrudes in the front-back direction at the front-end | tip part of the said connection part. It is possible to apply a method of providing a cylindrical portion, providing a connection protrusion on the second decorative body, and fitting the connection protrusion of the second decorative body into the through hole of the cylindrical portion of the first decorative body. In such a configuration, the cylindrical portion is a “connecting portion”, and the first decorative body swings around the central axis of the cylindrical portion.

  Examples of the “first inclination angle” include “the angle at which the first decorative body and the second decorative body are rotated from the horizontal direction to the vicinity of 90 degrees in the front view clockwise direction or the front view counterclockwise direction”. “Near 90 degrees” means from the angle rotated 90 degrees from the horizontal direction to the front view clockwise direction or the front view counterclockwise direction (in the counterclockwise direction of the front view or clockwise direction of the front view) It refers to an angle ((90-a) degrees) returned by a small predetermined angle a (for example, about 1 to 10 degrees).

  “Oscillating” means that the first decorative body swings in a natural state on the same plane as the plane on which the second decorative body rotates around the connection portion with the second decorative body. However, the first decorative body may swing on a plane different from the plane on which the second decorative body rotates. Moreover, “swaying in a natural state” refers to swinging based only on inertial force and gravity.

  According to the configuration of the means 2, when the decorative body drive unit rotates the second decorative body, the first decorative body and the second decorative body are integrated until the second decorative body is tilted to the first inclination angle. However, when the inclination of the second decorative body exceeds the first inclination angle, the first decorative body swings in a natural state based on inertial force and gravity, and the natural movement is It can be made to the body. Therefore, it is possible to show the player about the intentional mechanical movement and the intentional and non-mechanical natural movement of the first decorative body, so that the player can quickly move the decorative body. It is possible to prevent getting bored and to effectively prevent the player's interest in the game from decreasing.

  Moreover, according to the structure of the means 2, even after the inclination of the second decorative body exceeds the first inclination angle, the first decorative body is moved largely compared to the case where the first decorative body is rotated integrally with the second decorative body. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent a player from being entertained by the movement of the first decorative body and the interest in the game from being reduced.

  Therefore, according to the configuration of the means 2, it is possible to realize a gaming machine that can easily detect the malfunction of the movable effect unit while suppressing the player's interest in the game from decreasing.

[2-1d-4. Features of production operation unit]
As shown in FIG. 32, the rendering operation unit 220 of the present embodiment has the lower end of the damper 222 attached to the damper mounting recess 240 c of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220 </ b> B in an assembled state from the lower surface of the lower case 240. Since this also protrudes downward, a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A and the bottom surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B. In addition, the front end surfaces (upper end surfaces) of the four horizontal support pins 231b of the unit case 231 coincide with the bottom face of the counterbore of the screw hole 243c of the base member 243, and upward of the touch unit 220B with respect to the horizontal support pins 231b. Movement is regulated by a flat washer on the head of a screw 227 screwed into the upper end of the lateral support pin 231b. Further, the tapered portion 231 i formed on the upper end side of the lateral support pin 231 b and the tapered portion 243 d formed on the lower end side of the screw hole 243 c of the base member 243 are separated from each other.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 33, in the rendering operation unit 220, the upper surface of the damper 222 inserted into the front support pin 231c of the unit case 231 is slightly smaller than the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a on the side of the lateral support pin 231b. Projects upward. Further, since a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 and the lower surface of the lower case 240, the upper surface of the damper 222 inserted into the front support pin 231c of the unit case 231 and the lower A gap is also formed between the lower surface of the case 240. Further, a gap is also formed between the upper surface of the central support protrusion 231 d of the unit case 231 and the lower surface of the lower case 240. That is, the touch unit 220B is attached to the attachment base unit 220A with the lower surface floating in the air by the dampers 222 inserted into the left and right lateral support pins 231b.

  Further, the rendering operation unit 220 is constricted downward in the unit case 231 in which the touch unit 220B is attached from above in a pyramid-shaped cylindrical receiving portion 230c constricted downward in the attachment base 230 of the attachment base unit 220A. The lower end of the full pyramidal receiving projection 231e is inserted. A slight gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c and the outer peripheral wall of the receiving protrusion 231e. Thus, in a normal state, only the vicinity of the outer periphery of the unit case 231 is attached to the attachment base 230 with the inside of the unit case 231 (the center side of the housing recess 231a) floating in the air.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21 and the like, the production operation unit 220 has a linear upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b of the linear light emitting lens member 237 along the rear side close to the game area 5a in the touch unit 220B ( It is exposed in a band shape. The length of the upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b is about 2/3 of the length of the rear side of the touch unit 220B. An upper dish rear decoration member 236 is disposed on the rear side of the upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b exposed along the rear side of the touch unit 220B. Further, an upper dish ball removal button 239 is arranged on the right side of the upper dish rear decoration member 236 in front view. Further, a button unit 220C is arranged on the left side of the touch unit 220B when viewed from the front.

  The effect operation unit 220 can present various effects to the player in accordance with the game state that is changed by driving a game ball into the game area 5a. For example, by displaying an image on the upper liquid crystal display device 244 of the touch unit 220B, an image (effect image) can be presented to the player through the transparent touch panel 246 and can be enjoyed.

  As an image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244, an image imitating an operation button is displayed, and by allowing touch detection by the sensor sheet 246b of the touch panel 246 to be accepted, the image of the image can be displayed to the player. The operation buttons can be operated, and an effect using the touch panel 246 can be enjoyed. The image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 at the time of production using the touch panel 246 is not limited to the operation button, and various images can be displayed.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 220, the touch unit 220B is supported in a state of being lifted from the unit case 231 by the plurality of dampers 222, and therefore the touch unit 220B is operated by operating the vibration device 242 according to the gaming state. Can be vibrated. When the touch panel 246 is produced, the touch panel 246 (touch unit 220B) is vibrated by the vibration device 242 so that the vibration of the vibration device 242 is applied to the finger or hand of the player who is in contact with the touch panel 246. Even if the operation button of the image is operated to the player, the player can be surprised by illusioning that the actual operation button is operated. It is possible to suppress the interest from deteriorating by making the player entertain.

  Further, since the production operation unit 220 includes the button unit 220C on the left side of the front view of the touch unit 220B, the player can press the upper plate production button 257 according to the gaming state, and the upper plate production button 257 can be operated. You can entertain the operation. More specifically, the image operation buttons on the touch panel 246 only have a touch on the touch panel 246, so that the operation feeling is less than that of the actual operation buttons. However, the upper plate effect button 257 is actually pressed. Therefore, the operation of the upper plate effect button 257 does not give a sense of incongruity, the operation of the upper plate effect button 257 can be comfortably enjoyed, and the decrease in interest for the game can be suppressed. .

  Since the production operation unit 220 is arranged at a portion where the upper plate 201 is provided in the plate unit 200 bulging forward, the game can be performed even during production using the touch unit 220B or the button unit 220C. There is a possibility that a person may hit the touch unit 220B or the like from above. On the other hand, in the rendering operation unit 220, the touch unit 220B is supported by the damper 222 in a state of floating from the lower unit case 231. Therefore, even if the touch unit 220B is hit from above, the elasticity of the damper 222 The impact can be absorbed to some extent by force. More specifically, when an impact (load) is applied from above when the touch unit 220B is hit or pressed, it is transmitted to the damper 222 in which the left and right lateral support pins 231b are inserted, and the touch unit 220B is lowered. However, the damper 222 is compressed. By compressing the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pins 231b, the impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed.

  Further, when the touch unit 220B is lowered by the impact, the lower surface of the lower case 240 comes into contact with the upper end of the damper 222 in which the front support pin 231c is inserted, and is supported by the front support pin 231c as the touch unit 220B is lowered. The damper 222 is compressed downward. Accordingly, the impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed by the damper 222 supported by the front support pin 231c in addition to the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pin 231b.

  When the touch unit 220B is further lowered by an impact acting on the touch unit 220B, the lower surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B comes into contact with the bottom surfaces of the left and right sides of the housing recess 231a and the upper surface of the central support protrusion 231d. Thereby, the impact from the touch unit 220B directly acts on the unit case 231 from the touch unit 220B without passing through the plurality of dampers 222.

  Further, when the touch unit 220B is lowered, the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 is bent by the load from the center support protrusion 231d so that the center moves downward. The impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed by the elastic force due to the bending of the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a. By bending the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a, the pair of receiving projections 231e projecting downward from the lower side of the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a is lowered. Then, when the receiving projection 231e is further lowered by the impact from the touch unit 220B, the lower end side of the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e comes into contact with the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c of the mounting base 230, and from the touch unit 220B. The impact is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230.

  Since the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c are each formed in a pyramid shape that narrows downward, the receiving projection 231e is directed to the cylindrical receiving portion 230c (on the mounting base 230 side). The transmitted load is distributed and transmitted in a direction along the bottom surface of the attachment side receiving portion 230a of the attachment base 230 and a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface. As described above, since the structure that absorbs the impact applied to the touch unit 220B before the transmission to the mounting base 230 is arranged in layers, the impact applied to the touch unit 220B is sufficiently absorbed. The touch unit 220B, the unit case 231, the mounting base 230 and the like can be made difficult to be damaged by the impact.

  In addition, the production operation unit 220 has a linear light emitting portion of a linear light emitting lens member 237 that extends along the outer peripheral edge on the rear side of the touch unit 220B by the peripheral LED 235b of the post-upper decorative board 235 according to the gaming state. The upper end of 237b can be emitted linearly. As a result, the player's interest can be attracted to the touch unit 220B, and the image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 in the touch unit 220B, the touch effect using the touch panel 246, etc. can be enjoyed and the interest is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Further, depending on the gaming state, the decoration LED 235a on the back plate decoration board 235 is used to light-decorate the back plate decoration member 236 arranged on the rear side of the touch panel 220B (the rear side from the linear light emitting portion 237b). be able to.

  Further, since the touch panel 246 is operated by the touch unit 220B, the player touches the touch panel 246 for a longer time than when the player presses the button. When the touch unit 220B is vibrated by the vibration device 242 when the 246 is touched, the vibration can be reliably transmitted to the player's finger (hand). Therefore, since the player can feel that the touch panel 246 is operated by vibrating the player's finger, a sufficient operational feeling can be given, and the player can enjoy operating the touch panel 246. Moreover, it is possible to suppress the interest from deteriorating.

  In addition, by changing the image displayed on the upper liquid crystal display device 244 of the touch unit 220B, the type of touch operation (button) can be easily changed, and it becomes possible to deal with various effects. It is possible to prevent the player from getting bored with a variety of performances and to reduce interest. Furthermore, since the touch unit 220B includes the touch panel 246, compared to the conventional push button, touch, tap (single tap, double tap), drag, flick, pinch (pinch out, pinch in), swipe, touch and touch Various operations such as holding can be performed. Thereby, more various operation effects can be performed and it can suppress that a player is entertained and an interest falls.

  Further, the touch unit 220B is attached to the attachment base unit 220A (unit case 231) so as not to move upward and to move downward. The touch unit 220B is elastically (biased) by a plurality of dampers 222. Is pressed against the upper moving end, the touch unit 220B can be made difficult to move during the operation of the touch panel 246, and the operation of the touch panel 246 can be easily performed accurately. Further, since the touch unit 220B becomes difficult to move, it is possible to make the player think that the touch unit 220B does not move, and the touch unit 220B that was thought not to move does not vibrate according to the gaming state. The player can be surprised by vibrating with the device 242, and the player can be prevented from being entertained and the interest is reduced.

  In addition, since the touch unit 220B is vibrated by a plurality of vibration devices 242 separated from each other, for example, by driving the vibration device 242 at a position close to the part operated by the player on the touch panel 246, it is strong. Vibration can be transmitted. Therefore, when the player operates a position different from the position to be operated on the touch panel 246, the vibration transmitted to the player is different, so that the player is informed that the operation is wrong. It is possible to allow the player to perform a correct operation, and it is possible to entertain an operation effect using the touch panel 246 and suppress a decrease in interest.

  In addition, since a plurality of vibration devices 242 separated from each other are provided, a resonance phenomenon can be generated at an arbitrary position on the touch panel 246 by appropriately controlling the frequency and intensity of vibration of each vibration device 242. Can do. Therefore, by controlling each vibration device 242 so that a resonance phenomenon occurs at an arbitrary position operated by the player, it is possible to give a further operational feeling or greatly surprise the player, It is possible to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating by delighting the player.

  Further, when the touch unit 220B is hit from the upper side or strongly pressed and an impact or a load acts on the touch unit 220B, the left and right ends of the touch unit 220B are attached to the unit case 231 with the damper 222 interposed therebetween. For this reason, the shock from the upper side or the like can be absorbed (attenuated) to some extent by the bending of the damper 222 and the touch unit 220B and transmitted to the unit case 231 side. Further, on the unit case 231 side, since the outer edge of the unit case 231 is attached to the lower mounting base 230, an impact or load from the touch unit 220 </ b> B side via the unit case 231 is applied to the mounting base 230. Can be widely dispersed and transmitted. At this time, the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e projecting downward from the lower surface of the unit case 231 and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c in which the receiving projection 231e is inserted on the bottom surface of the attachment side receiving portion 230a of the attachment base 230. Since a gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall and the unit case 231 bends downward due to an impact or load from the touch unit 220B, the receiving projection 231e and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other. Thus, an impact or the like is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230, and the impact or the like is transmitted to the mounting base 230 in a state further attenuated by the bending of the unit case 231. Since the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c are narrowed downward, when the receiving protruding portion 231e and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other, the receiving projection 231e (unit case) 231) The impact, load, etc. from the side are transmitted in an oblique direction with respect to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230, and the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230 and along the bottom surface. As a result, the force in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface (downward) that causes the mounting base 230 to bend is reduced and transmitted to the mounting base 230 side. Therefore, even if the touch unit 220B is hit from the upper side or strongly pressed, the impacts and the like can be effectively attenuated by the plurality of dampers 222, the unit case 231, and the mounting base 230. The attachment base unit 220A can be prevented from being damaged.

  If the game balls released from the stage 2505 into the game area 5a flow down to the left or right of the first start port 2002 without being received by the first start port 2002, they are arranged on the left and right downstreams. There is a possibility of being accepted into the general winning opening 2001. When a game ball is received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls is paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board and the payout control board.

  Further, when the game ball that has flowed down to the left side of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2502, the game ball is played below the center accessory 2500 by a plurality of obstacle nails, the rolling shelf 2201 of the side unit 2200, and the like. There is a possibility that it will be guided to the center in the left-right direction in the area 5a and received by the general winning port 2001, the first starting port 2002, etc. arranged on the downstream side.

  On the other hand, in the game area 5a, the game ball that is driven into the upper portion of the center accessory 2500 enters (is driven into) the right side of the highest part of the outer peripheral surface of the front protrusion 2501 of the center accessory 2500. ) Enters the first guide passage 2510, is guided to the gate sensor 2005 by the first guide passage 2510, and then flows down the second guide passage and is discharged from the discharge port 2512 into the lower game area 5a.

  A game ball released from the discharge port 2512 into the game area 5a enters the passage entrance 2311 of the attacker unit 2300 arranged immediately below with a very high probability. Then, the game ball that has entered the passage entrance 2311 flows down onto the second start port door 2006 and rolls to the left along the upper surface of the second start port door 2006. From the left end, the outer peripheral upper surface of the second starting port passage 2310 rolls to the left, and is discharged downward from the outer peripheral upper surface left end of the second starting port passage 2310. The game ball released from the left end of the upper surface of the outer periphery of the second starting port passage 2310 passes through the front side of the big prize opening door 2007 that closes the big prize opening 2004. Therefore, when the big prize opening door 2007 is in the open state, the big prize opening 2004 is accepted.

  In the present embodiment, when the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board in response to this, and when the lottery normal lottery result is “normal hit”, the second start door 2006 For a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 to 3 seconds), the second start port 2003 is opened. Therefore, when the game ball reaches the position of the second start port door 2006 (second start port 2003) through the passage entrance 2311 at the timing when the second start port door 2006 is retracted and opened. The ball is received in the second start port 2003 (enters into the second start port passage 2310).

  In this example, in the normal lottery, the probability that “normal hit” will be drawn is set high. Accordingly, when the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005, it is received in the second start port 2003 with a relatively high probability. When a game ball is received in the second start port 2003, a predetermined number (for example, one) of game balls is paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board and the payout control board.

  As a result, in this embodiment, when a game ball driving operation (so-called right-handed) is performed so as to pass through the right side of the center accessory 2500, the gate sensor 2005 passes through the gate sensor 2005 with a very high probability. If the normal lottery result drawn by passing the game ball is “normal hit”, it will be accepted into the second start port 2003 with a very high probability, so even a beginner or a player unfamiliar with the game can easily start the second start. A game ball can be received in the mouth 2003, and the player can be entertained.

  By the way, in the present embodiment, as described above, when the player hits the right side, the second starting port 2003 can easily receive the game ball. When the number of game balls to be paid out is increased, the burden on the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed increases, and there is a possibility that the pachinko machine 1 is hesitant to install. However, in this pachinko machine 1, since the number of game balls to be paid out by receiving game balls into the second starting port 2003 is one, lottery of a special lottery result to be described later by receiving into the second starting port 2003 As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side while enhancing the interest of the player, and the pachinko machine 1 can be installed without any problem.

  In the present embodiment, in the normal lottery performed by the game ball passing through the gate sensor 2005, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the normal lottery until the normal lottery result is suggested (for example, 0.1 to 3 seconds, also called normal fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5.

  If the game ball passes the gate sensor 2005 after the game ball passes the gate sensor 2005 until the normal lottery result is suggested, the suggestion of the normal lottery result cannot be started. The start of suggestion is put on hold until the suggestion of the previous ordinary lottery result ends. In addition, the number of hold of the normal lottery result is up to 4 and the upper limit is discarded without being held even if the game ball passes through the gate sensor 2005. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the game hall side by accumulating reservations.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment, when a game ball is received in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2003, an advantageous game state (for example, “ A lottery of a special lottery result that generates “big hit”, “medium hit”, “small hit”, “per probability change”, “per time reduction”, etc.) is performed. Then, the player draws a special lottery result that has been drawn out to the player over a predetermined time (for example, 5 to 360 seconds). In addition, special lottery results that are drawn by accepting game balls at the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2003 include “losing”, “small hit”, “2R big hit”, “15R big hit”, “ There are “per probability change (probability change)”, “per time reduction (time reduction)”, “short per probability change time”, “no per short time change probability”, and so on.

  When the special lottery result drawn by accepting game balls to the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2003 is a special lottery result that generates an advantageous gaming state, the winning unit door 2007 is selected by the attacker unit 2300. The opening / closing operation is performed with an opening / closing pattern corresponding to the special lottery result, and the game ball can be received in the special winning opening 2004. When a game ball is received in the big prize opening 2004 when the big prize opening 2004 is in an open state, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) of game balls from the payout device 830 by the main control board and the payout board. Is dispensed to the upper plate 201. Accordingly, when the prize winning opening door 2007 is opened and closed in a predetermined pattern, by allowing the prize winning opening 2004 to accept game balls, a lot of game balls can be paid out and the player can be entertained. .

  In the present embodiment, the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2003 are received from the start of the special lottery until the first lottery result 2002 is suggested. When a game ball is received at the starting port 2003, the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started, so the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result previously drawn is completed. The The number of reserved special lottery results to be held is up to four for each of the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2003, and for more than that, the first start port 2002 and the second start port Even if a game ball is accepted in 2003, the special lottery result is not put on hold and discarded. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the game hall side by accumulating reservations.

  This special lottery result is suggested by the function display unit 1400 and the central liquid crystal display device 1500. In the function display unit 1400, a special lottery result is suggested under direct control by the main control board. The suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 suggests the special lottery result by combining a plurality of LEDs that are lit and extinguished and blinking for a predetermined time, and then lighting the LEDs.

  On the other hand, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is indirectly controlled by the peripheral control board based on the control signal from the main control board, and suggests a special lottery result as an effect image. The effect image suggesting the special lottery result in the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is a variably displayed symbol by changing each symbol sequence in a state where three symbol sequences composed of a plurality of symbols are displayed side by side in the horizontal direction. The columns are displayed so as to stop sequentially, and each symbol row is stopped and displayed so that the symbols of these three symbol rows have a combination corresponding to the special lottery result. When the special lottery result is other than “losing”, after the three symbol rows are stopped and the symbols of each symbol row are stopped and displayed, a final image indicating the special lottery result is displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500. Then, an advantageous gaming state (for example, a small hit game, a big hit game, etc.) according to the lottery special lottery result occurs.

  It should be noted that the time indicating the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (LED blinking time (variation time)) and the time suggesting the special lottery result in the central liquid crystal display device 1500 (the symbol string fluctuates to confirm the image) The time until the function display unit 1400 is set to be shorter.

  In addition to the display of the effect image 3400 for suggesting the special lottery result by the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the peripheral control board displays the upper front effect unit 3100 and the upper rear effect according to the lottery result of the special lottery. The unit 3200, the lower stage unit 3300, and the like are appropriately controlled so as to perform the movable stage, and the player can be entertained by the movable stage, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest in the game. it can.

  When the special lottery result is “small hit”, the big prize opening door 2007 of the attacker unit 2300 is opened and closed for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). The open / close pattern is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice). On the other hand, when the special lottery result is “big hit”, a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses after the large winning opening door 2007 of the attacker unit 2300 is opened, or the predetermined winning opening 2004 is predetermined. When any of the conditions for accepting the number of game balls (for example, 10) is satisfied, an opening / closing pattern that closes the grand prize opening door 2007 (a single opening / closing pattern is referred to as one round) is a predetermined number of times. Repeat (predetermined number of rounds). For example, the “2R big hit” is repeated for two rounds, and the “15R big hit” is repeated for 15 rounds to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player.

  In the “big hit”, after the big hit game is finished, the probability that the special lottery result such as “big hit” is drawn is changed (“probable hit”), or the display time of the effect image 3400 that suggests the special lottery result is set. There is a "hit" to change ("short-time hit").

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the special display result of the function display unit 1400 or the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is obtained as a special lottery result drawn by receiving the game balls to the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2003. Even if the suggestion of the lottery result is finished, there is an “extra big hit” that does not generate an advantageous gaming state unless the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2005. When this “special jackpot” is drawn, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 starts displaying a special effect image for suggesting the result of the special lottery. Then, when the three symbol rows are stopped and displayed in the center combination 2500 as a special lottery result with a combination of symbols corresponding to “big hit (special big hit)”, detection of a game ball by the entry detection sensor 2530 of the center bonus 2500 Becomes effective, and an effect image (for example, an image of an arrow indicating the first guide passage 2510) is displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 for urging the game ball into the first guide passage 2510.

  In order to prompt the player to place a game ball into the first guide passage 2510, in addition to the display of the effect image by the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the first guide passage 2510 is decorated with light emission from the rear side, voice or music Or other sounds may be output.

It corresponds to one or the second axis.

  In the embodiment, the upper left decorative body 3102 is a first movable decorative body and the upper right decorative body 3104 is a second movable decorative body. However, the arrangement positions and structures of the upper left decorative body 3102 and the upper right decorative body 3104 are the same. The configuration of the gaming machine 1 may be changed so that the upper left decorative body 3102 has the same configuration as the upper right decorative body 3104 and the upper right decorative body 3104 has the same configuration as the upper left decorative body 3102.

[6. Characteristic effects of this embodiment]
As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, during the rendering operation of the upper front rendering unit 3100, the upper decorative body 3101 is moved from the horizontal state (see FIG. 47), which is the initial state, to the upper right decorative body driving unit 3105. When the motor 3174 is driven so that the rotation shaft 3175 rotates in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, the upper right decorative body 3104 rotates by a predetermined angle in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front.

  Thereafter, the motor 3143 of the upper left decorative body driving unit 3103 is driven so that the rotation shaft 3144 rotates in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, so that the second upper left decorative body 3111 is moved to the first position as shown in FIG. It rotates in the clockwise direction in front view so as to cross the front of the display surface of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 integrally with the upper left decorative body 3110.

  When the inclination angle of the second upper left decorative body 3111 exceeds the slider starting angle, the first engagement protrusion 3138a of the slider driving member 3138 starts to push the slider 3134 in the right direction when viewed from the front, so that the slider 3134 moves in that direction. Move the slide. As the slider 3134 slides, the first upper left decorative body 3110 connected to the slider 3134 moves in a direction away from the second upper left decorative body 3111, as shown in FIG.

  Further, when the inclination angle of the second upper left decorative body 3111 exceeds the above-mentioned opening angle (see FIG. 56), the root upper side of the connecting portion 3122 of the first upper left decorative body 3110 is closer to the second upper left decorative body. 3111, the first upper left decorative body 3110 is opened by detaching from the lower convex portion 3137aa of the Y-shaped convex portion 3137a of the second upper left decorative body cover cover 3137. As shown in FIG. 3110 can swing in a natural state by its own weight about the central axis of the connecting projection 3134a of the slider 3134.

  In this pachinko machine 1, when the first upper left decorative body 3110 is swingable by its own weight, as one effect, the second upper left decorative body is within a range in which the first upper left decorative body 3110 can swing. The motor 3143 of the upper left decorative body driving unit 3103 is driven and controlled by the peripheral control board so as to rotate 3111 alternately in the clockwise direction in the front view and in the counterclockwise direction in the front view.

  Thereafter, the motor 3143 of the upper left decorative body driving unit 3103 is driven so that the rotation shaft 3144 rotates counterclockwise in the front view, whereby the second upper left decorative body 3111 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the front view. .

  As the second upper left decorative body 3111 rotates in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front, the first engagement protrusion 3138a of the slider driving member 3138 pushes the slider 3134 toward the left when viewed from the front of the second upper left decorative body 3111. 3134 slides in that direction. Further, as the slider 3134 slides, the first upper left decorative body 3110 connected to the slider 3134 moves in a direction closer to the second upper left decorative body 3111 in the longitudinal direction of the second upper left decorative body 3111. (See FIG. 64).

  Furthermore, the inclination of the second upper left decorative body 3111 returns to the above-described opening angle, and the second upper left decorative body 3111 of the second upper left decorative body 3111 is located at the root side of the semicircular tip of the connecting portion 3122 of the first upper left decorative body 3110. When entering the lower convex portion 3137aa of the Y-shaped convex portion 3137a of the body cover body cover 3137, the semicircular shape of the connecting portion 3122 of the first upper left decorative body 3111 is formed by the lower inner surface of the lower convex portion 3137aa. Since the root side is supported with respect to the tip of the first upper decorative body, movement of the first upper left decorative body 3110 other than the sliding direction (longitudinal direction of the second upper left decorative body 3111) is suppressed, and the first upper left decorative body 3110 cannot swing. As a result, after that, the first upper left decorative body 3110 and the second upper left decorative body 3111 rotate together in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front (see FIG. 63).

  Thereafter, until the first upper left decorative body 3110 and the second upper left decorative body 3111 return to the above slide starting angle, the slider 3134 is connected to the slider 3134 as the slider 3134 slides in the left direction when viewed from the front. The one upper left decorative body 3110 moves in a direction approaching the second upper left decorative body 3111. When the tilt angle of the second upper left decorative body 3111 reaches the slide start angle, the first upper left decorative body 3110 and the second upper left decorative body 3111 return to the contact state, and thereafter, the first upper left decorative body 3111 remains in that state. The decorative body 3110 and the second upper left decorative body 3111 rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the front, and eventually the first upper left decorative body 3110 and the second upper left decorative body 3111 return to the initial horizontal state (see FIG. 47). .

  At this time, the motor 3174 of the upper right decorative body driving unit 3105 is driven so that the rotation shaft 3175 rotates counterclockwise in the front view, whereby the upper right decorative body 3104 rotates in the clockwise direction in the front view. As a result, the upper right decorative body 3104 returns to the initial horizontal state after being slightly delayed from the upper left decorative body 3102, and thus the upper decorative body 3104 and the upper left decorative body 3102 are integrated and in the initial state (horizontal state). 3101 is formed.

  When the upper decorative body 3104 and the upper left decorative body 3102 are integrated to form the upper decorative body 3101 in the initial state, the rotation shaft 3175 of the upper right decorative body driving unit 3105 is viewed from the front. Driving power for rotating in the clockwise direction is always applied, and thereby a rotational force for supporting the upper left decorative body 3102 is applied to the upper right decorative body 3104. Therefore, when the upper decorative body 3101 in the initial state is formed by integrating the upper right decorative body 3104 and the upper left decorative body 3102, the upper right decorative body 3104 and the upper left decorative body 3102 rotate naturally due to their own weight, vibration, or the like. Can be prevented.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the upper left decorative body 3102 is rotated from the horizontal state in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front and tilted to the above opening angle or more, so that the first upper left decorative body 3110 is subjected to inertial force and gravity. Therefore, the first upper left decorative body 3110 exhibits a natural non-mechanical movement. As a result, each time the first upper left decorative body 3110 is released from the second upper left decorative body 3111, a different movement is manifested, so that the player can hardly get tired of the effect of rotating the upper left decorative body 3102 and vice versa. In addition, the movement of the first upper left decorative body 3110 can be enjoyed by the player, and thus the player's interest in the game can be prevented from decreasing.

  In addition, the first upper left decorative body 3110 and the second upper left decorative body 3111 rotate together until the upper left decorative body 3102 rotates by a predetermined angle in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front from the horizontal state. Since the first upper left decorative body 3110 is opened when it further rotates in the clockwise direction, the first upper left decorative body 3110 swings in a natural state based only on inertial force and gravity (self-weight). The movement of the upper left decorative body 3110 can be changed from a mechanical movement to a natural movement, and from a natural movement to a mechanical movement, so that the player can enjoy the movement of the upper front rendering unit 3100. Thus, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in games.

  Furthermore, since the first upper left decorative body 3110 can be swung in a natural state based only on the inertial force and gravity in this way, the first upper left decorative body 3110 and the second upper left decorative body 3111 are always rotated together. Compared with the case of making it, the movement of the upper left decorative body 3102 as a whole can be seen to be large and conspicuous. In this way, it is possible to effectively prevent the player from having fun with the movement of the upper left decorative body 3102 and reducing the player's interest in the game.

  In addition, when the upper decorative body 3101 in the initial state is formed by integrating the upper right decorative body 3104 and the upper left decorative body 3102, the upper left decorative body 3102 is moved from the upper right decorative body driving unit 3105 to the upper right decorative body 3104. Since a supportable rotational force is applied to the upper right decorative body 3104, the upper right decorative body 3104 and the upper left decorative body 3102 can be prevented from rotating naturally due to their own weight, vibration, or the like. As a result, a failure occurs in the peripheral board control unit and the order when the upper right decorative body 3104 and the upper left decorative body 3102 return to the initial state is reversed, or the motor 3174 of the upper right decorative body 3104 fails and the upper right decorative body is broken. When the upper left decorative body 3102 can no longer support the upper left decorative body 3102 or the like, the upper right decorative body 3104 or the upper left decorative body 3102 can rotate around the shaft portion 3161c or the shaft portion 3131a by its own weight to maintain the initial state. Since it cannot be maintained, the defect can be easily confirmed by visual observation, and the defect can be easily detected.
