As shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the lower accessory rear unit 105 includes a horizontally long rear unit base 201, and on the front side of the rear unit base 201, a lower accessory member that exhibits a crescent shape with a tilted posture. 202, and a lower accessory guide projection 203 projecting from the back side of the lower accessory member 202 is slidably engaged with a longitudinal rear guide groove 201a provided in the rear unit base 201. Thus, the lower accessory member 202 can be moved in the vertical direction. The lower accessory member 202 includes a lower accessory base 205 serving as a base of the lower accessory member 202, and a translucent lower accessory decoration panel 206 is provided in front of the lower accessory base 205. Wearing. Further, between the lower accessory decoration panel 206 and the lower accessory base 205, a lower accessory decoration light emitting board 208 on which a lower accessory decoration light emitting member 207 such as an LED is mounted is disposed. The light from the lower accessory decoration light emitting member 207 can be irradiated to the front of the lower accessory member 202. Further, a lower accessory position detection sensor 210 provided on the rear unit base 201 is provided with a lower accessory position detection piece 209 protruding from a side portion (left side portion in FIG. 17) of the lower accessory member 202. Thus, the lower accessory position detection piece 209 can be detected.

  In addition, the rear unit base 201 includes a lower accessory lifting / lowering drive motor 215 serving as a drive source for the lower accessory member 202 on the side of the rear guide groove 201a (on the right side in FIG. 17). Below the accessory member 202 is provided with a lower accessory arm 216 extending laterally toward the lower accessory raising / lowering drive motor 215 side and having one end (in FIG. 17, the lower accessory raising / lowering drive motor 215 The right end part) is pivotally attached to the rear unit base 201 in a rotatable state. Further, a lower arm gear 217 is provided at a shaft attachment portion of the lower accessory arm 216, and the lower arm gear 217 is connected to the lower accessory driving gear 218 that rotates together with the output shaft of the lower accessory raising / lowering driving motor 215.

Furthermore, the other end portion of the lower accessory arm 216 (the left end portion on the rear guide groove 201a side in FIG. 17) is engaged with the lower portion of the lower accessory member 202, and is also opened in the rear unit base 201. A lower arm guide groove (specifically, a lower arm guide groove parallel to the rear guide groove 201a) 219 is slidably engaged.

  In the lower accessory rear unit 105 having such a configuration, the lower accessory member 202 is moved up and down by driving the lower accessory raising / lowering drive motor 215 and rotating the lower accessory arm 216. As shown in FIG. 18A, when the lower accessory guide protrusion 203 is engaged with the lower end portion of the rear guide groove 201a and the lower accessory member 202 is disposed at the effect non-execution position (bottom dead position). The lower accessory member 202 is hidden behind the side edge accessory unit 104 and the lower accessory front unit 102 and cannot be seen from the front of the game board 6 (see FIG. 2). At this time, the lower accessory position detection sensor 210 detects the lower accessory position detection piece 209, and can grasp that the lower accessory member 202 is arranged at the effect non-execution position. Also, as shown in FIG. 18B, when the lower accessory guide protrusion 203 is engaged with the upper end portion of the rear guide groove 201a and the lower accessory member 202 is placed at the effect execution position (top dead position). The lower accessory member 202 is positioned so as to be shifted from the rear of the side edge accessory unit 104 and the lower accessory front unit 102 toward the center of the display portion 55a of the display device 55, and is visible from the front of the game board 6. (See FIG. 6).

Next, a control system centered on the game control device 58 that controls the progress of the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 19, the game control device 58 includes a CPU that controls game control, a ROM that stores a control program for game control, etc., a RAM that is used as a work area during game control, and an input unit (input). Interface), an output unit (output interface), and the like. Then, various detecting devices (magnetic sensor 223, radio wave sensor 224, first starting port switch 46, second starting port switch 47, second starting device switch 48, gate switch 29, and game balls to each of the general winning ports 32 and 42. In response to detection signals from a winning opening switch 225, a count switch 86, a front frame opening detection switch 226, a transparent member holding frame opening detection switch 227, a power supply device 228, etc. Various processing such as notification to the player and power failure response processing is performed. Further, each effect unit (the central accessory unit 101, the lower accessory front unit 102, the upper accessory unit 103, the side edge accessory unit 104, the lower accessory rear unit 105) is provided via the effect control device 59. Functions as a control means for controlling the operation and the operation of the decoration opening / closing solenoid 95, or the payout control device 231, the big prize opening solenoid 85, the general electric solenoid 232 for opening / closing the ordinary electric accessory 41a, and the collective display device 51, a command signal is transmitted to the external information terminal 234 or the like, and the game is controlled in an integrated manner.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the effect control device 59 performs CPU for effect control, PROM storing a control program for executing effect control, image ROM storing image data, etc., and image processing for video display. It consists of VDP, input interface, output interface and so on. And a signal generated as the game progresses in the pachinko gaming machine 1, specifically, a control signal from the game control device 58, a signal from the effect button switch 237 provided on the game effect button 17, and each accessory Based on the signal from the sensor provided in units 101-105, etc., the effect operation of each accessory unit 101-105 is controlled. Specifically, display on the display unit 55a of the display device 55, output of sound effects from the upper speaker 11 and the lower speaker 16, light emission and transparency of the panel decoration device 240 (light guide effect light emitting substrate 133, etc.) provided on the game board 6 Light emission of a frame decoration device 241 such as an LED provided on the member holding frame 8, a board effect device 242 provided on the game board 6 (such as a motor of each of the accessory units 101 to 105) and the transparent member holding frame 8. It controls the drive of the frame effect device 243 such as a motor for driving the effect member (not shown).

Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1, particularly the effect operation of the game board 6 in the big hit state will be described.
Based on the fact that the game balls flowing down the game area 5 win the start winning unit 38 (the first start winning port 36, the second start winning port 37) or the second start winning device 41, a special figure change display game (special figure). When the 1-variable display game and the special figure 2-variable display game are executed and the result of the special figure variable-display game is a big hit (special result mode), the game control device 58 is in the special game state (big hit state). The effect control device 59 performs fanfare processing based on the command from the game control device 58 and outputs sound effects from the speakers 11 and 16. After the fanfare processing is completed, The operation process in the state (opening / closing process of the special winning opening 31 accompanying the progress of a plurality of rounds) is executed (see FIG. 21).

  In the operation process in the big hit state, as shown in FIG. 22, the decoration opening / closing solenoid 95 is driven together with the large winning opening solenoid 85 to open / close the large winning opening / closing member 84 and the decoration opening / closing member 94 simultaneously. Then, when the game ball wins the big winning opening 31 and is detected by the count switch 86, the effect control device 59 executes the effect display control of the display device 55 based on the detection signal of the count switch 86, and the display device. A moving image of the game ball flowing down toward the decoration opening / closing member 94 is displayed at a position located above the decoration opening / closing member 94 in the open state in the display portion 55a of 55. Therefore, the player can enjoy watching the effect as if the decorative opening / closing member 94 guides the game ball to the big prize opening 31 in accordance with the winning of the game ball to the big prize opening 31. Note that the moving image of the game ball is displayed at the timing of the opening operation of the decoration opening / closing member 94 (driving of the decoration opening / closing solenoid 95) regardless of whether or not the game ball is won in the big winning opening 31 (detection of the count switch 86). You may perform according to. Further, the decoration opening / closing member 94 may be set to be controlled by the effect control device 59. If the opening / closing member 84 is not opened by a round, the decoration opening / closing member 94 does not operate. The opening / closing member 94 and the special prize opening / closing member 84 may be operable asynchronously (independently). By setting in this way, heat from the solenoids 85 and 95 is not easily accumulated, and the solenoids 85 and 95 are less likely to fail.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21 and FIG. 23, as the fanfare process starts, the upper accessory driving motor 169 of the upper accessory unit 103 and the side edge accessory driving motor 189 of the side accessory unit 104 are driven. Then, the upper side accessory rotator 162 and most of the side edge accessory rotators 182 (specifically, the side edge accessory rotator 182 excluding the first side edge rotator 182a located at the upper portion of the side edge accessory unit 104). ) Is rotated clockwise as viewed from the front of the game board 6. By this rotation operation, the upper edge rotating body 162 moves the upper edge part on the armor part 63 side from the left side to the right side of the game board 6, and most of the side edge rotating object 182 is moved to the first case ball flow path. The side edge portion (the right side portion in FIG. 23) on the 26th side is moved from the upper side to the lower side of the game board 6 so that the player can perform the so-called right strike (the game ball passes above the center case 23 and is first Instruct the player to perform a launch operation so as to flow down to the case ball flow down path 26, and urge the winning of the game ball to the big winning opening 31. In addition, the characters “right-handed” are displayed on the display unit 55 a of the display device 55. Note that the first side edge rotating body 182a located in the vicinity of the “right-handed” character rotates reversely with the other rotating bodies 162 and 182, and thus it is easy for the player to notice the reverse rotation operation and turn his gaze. Furthermore, it is easy to put “right-handed” characters into view. Therefore, it is easy to grasp that a “right-handed” instruction is issued from the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  When the big hit state is ended, the effect control device 59 stops the driving of the upper accessory driving motor 169 and the side edge accessory driving motor 189 to end the effect of the right-handed instruction, executes the ending process, and executes the display device 55. The ending image is displayed on the display unit 55a. Then, after the big hit state is finished, the game state is a so-called electric support state (the probability of winning in the normal fluctuation display game is increased and the fluctuation display time of the normal fluctuation display game is shortened, thereby When it is set to the normal power support state in which the opening and closing operation is frequently performed to make it easy to win a game ball in the second start winning device 41), the upper side accessory driving motor 169 and the side edge accessory driving motor 189 are driven again. The upper accessory rotating body 162 and the side edge accessory rotating body 182 are rotated clockwise as viewed from the front of the game board 6. By this rotation operation, the player is instructed to perform a so-called right-handed strike, and urges the game ball to flow down to the first case ball flow path 26 and win the second start winning device 41.

  It should be noted that the control of the upper accessory driving motor 169 and the side edge accessory driving motor 189 in the big hit state may be set to a mode in which driving and stopping are alternately repeated. For example, the upper side accessory driving motor 169 and the side edge accessory driving motor 189 are set to predetermined conditions (the operation of one or two rotations of the first upper side rotating body 162a and the first side edge rotating body 182a is completed or set. It may be set to drive until the passage of time) is established, and then temporarily stop for a certain period, and this drive and the pause may be alternately repeated. Further, as shown in FIG. 24A, the upper accessory driving motor 169 and the side edge accessory driving motor 189 may be set to alternately execute driving and stopping at different periods. In FIG. 24A, the driving time of the side edge accessory driving motor 189 (rotation time of the side edge accessory rotating body 182) is set to the driving time of the upper edge driving motor 169 (of the upper accessory rotating body 162). Is set longer than the rotation time), but if it is set shorter than the drive time of the upper accessory drive motor 169 (rotation time of the upper accessory rotation body 162), the prize winning port 31 is higher than that of the upper accessory effect unit. Or the side edge accessory unit 104 close to the second start winning device 41 is conspicuous, and it is easy to encourage the player to win a game ball to the big winning opening 31 or the second start winning device 41. is there.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 24 (b), in the performance operation not only in the big hit state but also in the electric support state, the driving and the temporary stop of the upper side accessory driving motor 169 and the side edge accessory driving motor 189 are alternately repeated. Also good. At this time, if the stop time in the big hit state and the stop time in the electric support state are set differently, whether the big hit state or the electric support state is caused by the difference in the production mode of each of the accessory rotating bodies 162 and 182 Can be grasped. In addition, since the period of the electric support state is generally set longer than the period of the big hit state, the temporary stop time in the electric support state of each of the accessory drive motors 169 and 189 is set to be longer than the temporary stop time in the big hit state. If the length is set too long, the cumulative driving time of the accessory driving motors 169 and 189 in the electric support state can be shortened, and the inconvenience of shortening the service life due to excessive use of the accessory driving motors 169 and 189 is suppressed. can do. Then, when a predetermined effect (for example, a display effect on the display device 55) is executed in the middle of the electric support state, the driving of the accessory driving motors 169 and 189 is stopped and the accessory rotating bodies 162 are stopped. Immediately ending the effect operation (rotation operation) by 182 is preferable because the player can easily focus on the predetermined effect.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when a power failure occurs in a game execution state or a waiting state for a customer and the power supply is cut off, when the power supply is resumed and the recovery work from the power failure is performed, The operation of the member 117 and the lower accessory member 202 is checked. In the operation check, first, the production control device 59 drives the accessory driving motors 169 and 189 (the central accessory driving motor 120 and the lower accessory lifting / lowering driving motor 215) to generate a power failure in each of the accessory members 117 and 202. From the state that was sometimes stopped, the production operation (elevation operation) is performed to return to the production non-execution position. Then, each accessory position detection piece (the central accessory position detection piece 128, the lower accessory position detection piece 209) is replaced with each accessory position detection sensor (the central accessory position detection sensor 129, the lower accessory position detection sensor 210). ) And it is confirmed that the accessory members 117 and 202 have returned to the effect non-execution positions, respectively, and the accessory drive motors 169 and 189 are continuously driven, and the accessory members 117 and 202 are not executed. It moves from the position to the effect execution position, and then returns to the effect non-execution position again.

  In this way, the operation check is performed, and the respective accessory position detection pieces 128 and 209 are detected by the respective accessory position detection sensors 129 and 210 (in other words, the respective accessory members 117 and 202 are moved to the effect non-execution position). Is confirmed twice after a preset check interval time, it is determined that each of the accessory members 117 and 202 operates normally. On the other hand, when the second detection cannot be confirmed even after the check interval time elapses, or when the second detection is confirmed before the check interval time elapses, the operations of the accessory members 117 and 202 are abnormal. And a notification output for notifying abnormality (such as a notification sound output from the speakers 11 and 16 or an error display on the display device 55) is executed.

  In the operation check, each accessory member 117, 202 is not returned from the stop position at the time of power failure to the effect non-execution position, but instead moved to the effect execution position, and then moved to the effect non-execution position. A check may be performed. In this case, an effect execution detection sensor (not shown) that can detect each of the accessory position detection pieces 128 and 209 when each of the accessory members 117 and 202 reaches the effect execution position. 129 and 210 are provided separately, and the detection of each of the accessory position detection pieces 128 and 209 by the effect execution detection sensor and the detection of each of the accessory position detection pieces 128 and 209 by the accessory position detection sensors 129 and 210 are generated. The interval is determined, and the quality of the operation of each of the accessory members 117 and 202 is determined. If the operation check is executed without reciprocating each of the accessory members 117 and 202 in this way, it is possible to reduce the time required for the operation check and, in turn, the time until recovery from a power failure.

  Next, the main process of the game control device 58 will be described. Note that the control process in the game control device 58 includes a main process (see FIG. 25 and FIG. 26) that is a main routine including a power-on process and a loop process, and an interrupt routine for the loop process during the main process. Timer interruption processing (see FIG. 27) performed at (for example, 4 ms).

  The main process is started when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on. In this main process, as shown in FIG. 25, first, an interrupt prohibition process (step S1) is performed, and then an interrupt vector setting process for setting a jump destination vector address to be executed when an interrupt occurs ( Step S2), a stack pointer setting process for setting a stack pointer that is the start address of an area for saving a value of a register or the like when an interrupt occurs (Step S3), and a process for reading the state of the input port of the game control device 58 (Step S3) Step S4), an interrupt mode setting process (step S5) for setting the mode of the interrupt process is performed.

  Next, the power-on delay timer is set (step S6) and the number of checks of the power failure monitoring signal is set (step S7), and it is determined whether or not the power failure monitoring signal is on (step S8). If the power failure monitoring signal is on, it is determined whether or not the power failure monitoring signal remains on for the number of checks set in step S7 (step S8). If the power failure monitoring signal is kept on for the number of checks, that is, if it is determined that a power failure has occurred, the standby is performed and the power failure monitoring signal is kept on for the number of checks. If not, the process returns to step S8 and the determination of the power failure monitoring signal is executed again. If the power failure monitoring signal is not on in step S8, that is, if it is determined that no power failure has occurred, the power-on delay timer is updated by -1 (step S10), and the power-on delay timer is 0. Is determined (step S11), and if not 0, the process returns to step S7. If the power-on delay timer is 0 in step S11, access to the readable / writable RAM is permitted (step S12), and all ports of the output unit are set to off (no output) (step S12). S13) Processing for setting a serial port is performed (step S14).

  Further, it is determined whether or not the initialization switch provided in the power supply device 228 is ON (step S15). If it is determined that the initialization switch is not ON, the power failure inspection area 1 in the RAM is determined. Whether the value is normal power failure inspection area check data 1 is checked (step S16). If the value of power failure inspection area 1 is normal, the value of power failure inspection area 2 in RAM is normal. 2 is checked (step S17). If the value of the power failure inspection area 2 is normal, the checksum is normal to determine whether the data stored in the RAM is normal or not. Check if it is. Specifically, the checksum of the area in the RAM is calculated (step S18), and it is determined whether or not the calculated checksum matches the checksum stored in the RAM when a power failure occurs. (Step S19). When it is determined that the checksum is normal, that is, when it is determined that the data stored in the RAM is normal, the initial value at the time of power failure recovery is saved in the area to be initialized (step S20), an area for storing the game state in the RAM is examined, and the game state is set to a high probability state (specifically, the probability that the result mode of the special figure variable display game is a big hit is set higher than that during normal game progress) Is determined (step S21). If it is determined that the state is a high probability state, ON information is saved in the high probability notification flag area (step S22), and is provided in the collective display device 51. ON data for turning on the high-probability notification LED to be turned on is set in the segment area (step S23). If it is determined in step S21 that the state is not a high probability state, or if preparation is made to turn on the high probability notification LED in step S23, it is prepared for rationally executing the special figure game process. A command at the time of power failure recovery corresponding to the process number is transmitted to the effect control device 59 (step S24).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S15 that the initialization switch is on, or if it is determined in steps S16 and S17 that the value of the power failure inspection area is abnormal, or if the checksum is abnormal in step S19. If it is determined that the area is to be initialized, clear all work areas before the access-prohibited area (step S25) and clear all stack areas after the access-prohibited area (step S26). The initial value when the power is turned on is saved (step S27). Further, the execution flag is saved in the lighting confirmation execution flag area (step S28), and a command at power-on is transmitted to the effect control device 59 (step S29).

  Then, after transmitting the command at the time of power failure recovery to the effect control device 59 in step S24, or after transmitting the command for turning on the power to the effect control device 59 in step S29, the timer interrupt signal and the random number update trigger signal are transmitted. The CTC (Counter / Timer Circuit) circuit that generates the signal is activated (step S30), and the random number generation circuit is activated and set (step S31). Furthermore, the value of the soft random number register in the random number generation circuit at the time of power-on is extracted and various initial value random numbers (initial values of random numbers that determine the big hit symbol in the special figure variation display game, or the winning symbol in the normal figure variation display game) Is stored in the RAM as an initial value of a random number to determine (step S32), interrupts prohibited in step S1 are permitted (step S33), and various initial value random numbers are updated to break the regularity of random numbers. The initial value random number update process is performed (step S34).

  If initial value random number update processing is executed in step S34, in order to determine whether or not a power failure has occurred, the power failure monitoring signal input from the power supply device 228 is read and checked via the port and the data bus. The number of times to perform is set (step S35), and it is determined whether or not the power failure monitoring signal is ON (step S36). If the power failure monitoring signal is not on, that is, if it is determined that a power failure has not occurred, the process returns to step S34, the initial value random number update process (step S34), and the setting of the number of times the power failure monitoring signal is checked (step S35), determination of power failure monitoring signal (step S36) is repeated. On the other hand, if the power failure monitoring signal is on, it is determined whether or not the power failure monitoring signal is on for the number of checks set in step S35 (step S37). If the power failure monitoring signal is not turned on for the number of checks, the process returns to step S36 and the power failure monitoring signal is determined again, and the power failure monitoring signal is turned on for the number of checks. If it is determined that a power failure has occurred, a process for temporarily prohibiting interruption (step S38) and a process for outputting off-data to all output ports (step S39) are performed. Furthermore, after performing the process of saving the power failure inspection area check data in each power failure inspection area (steps S40 and S41) and the process of calculating the RAM checksum when the power is turned off (step S42), the checksum is saved ( Step S43), after performing the process of prohibiting access to the RAM (step S44), it waits until the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is shut off.

  In the timer interrupt process, as shown in FIG. 27, first, the value held in a predetermined register is transferred to the RAM and the register saving process is performed (step S51), and various detection devices (magnetic sensor 223, radio wave sensor 224). , Input processing (step S52) for taking inputs from the first start port switch 46, second start port switch 47, second start device switch 48, gate switch 29, etc., based on output data set in various processing Then, an output process (step S53) for driving and controlling actuators such as solenoids (large winning opening solenoid 85, general electric solenoid 232) is performed.

  Next, a payout command transmission process (step S54), a random number update process 1 (step S55), and a random number update process 2 (step S56) for outputting the command set in the transmission buffer in various processes to the payout control device 231 are performed. Thereafter, it is monitored whether there is a normal signal input from the game ball detection sensor such as the first start port switch 46, the second start port switch 47, the winning port switch 225 or the like, and the front frame 3 or the transparent member holding frame. A prize opening switch / error monitoring process (step S57) for monitoring errors such as whether 8 is open is performed. Also, a distribution state update process (step S58), a special figure game process (step S59) for performing a process related to the special figure variation display game, and a general figure game process (step S60) for performing a process related to the general figure variation display game are performed.

  When the process of each variable display game is executed, the segment LED editing process (step S61) for editing the display content of each variable display game on the collective display device 51 and the display contents of various information relating to the game, detection from the magnetic sensor 223 Magnetic fraud monitoring process for checking whether there is an abnormality by checking the signal (step S62), radio fraud monitoring process for checking whether there is an abnormality by checking the detection signal from the radio wave sensor 224 (step S63), various external devices The external information editing process (step S64) for setting the signal to be output to the output buffer is performed. Then, the interrupt request is cleared and the end of the interrupt is declared (step S65), the register data saved in step S51 is restored (step S66), the interrupt is permitted (step S67), and the timer interrupt process is terminated. .

  Next, the control performed by the production control device 59 will be described. The control process by the effect control device 59 mainly includes a main process and an interrupt process performed in a predetermined time period (for example, 2 milliseconds). In the main process, as shown in FIG. 28, the process at the start of the program is first performed. In the process at the start of the program, interrupts are first prohibited (step S71), CPU initial settings (step S72), VDP initial settings (step S73) are performed, and interrupts are permitted (step S74). Furthermore, generation of display data is permitted (step S75), a random number seed is set (step S76), and an initial value at the time of power-on is saved in an area to be initialized in the effect control device 59 (step S77).

  Next, loop processing is performed as main loop processing. In this loop process, first, WDT (watch dog timer) is cleared (step S78), and an effect button input process (step S79) for creating input information from an input signal based on the operation of the game effect button 17 is performed. Next, a hall / player setting mode process (step S80) for accepting this operation when setting or changing the changeable range such as the luminance and volume of light emission in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed by a store clerk or player of the game store. The effect point control process (step S81), the random number update process (step S82) for updating the random number for determining the details of the variation mode of the decoration special figure variation display game, and the command transmitted from the game control device 58 are correctly received. A received command check process (step S83) is performed to determine whether or not it has been performed. Furthermore, various display data are updated in accordance with the contents to be drawn, and the effect display editing process for finally setting the drawing data in the frame buffer (step S84) and the end of the drawing command preparation are set (step S85).

  After the end of step S85, the process waits until the frame switching timing arrives (step S86; No), and if it arrives (step S86; Yes), the screen drawing is instructed to the VDP (step S87). Next, a sound control process (step S88) for controlling the sound output from the speakers 11, 16; a decoration control process (step S89) for controlling the LEDs of the panel decoration device 240 and the frame decoration device 241; Then, a movable body control process (step S90) for controlling the motor and solenoid of the frame effect device 243 is performed. Next, a light guide plate control process (step S91) for controlling light emission decoration by the light guide plate 131 of the central accessory unit 101 is performed, and the process returns to the process of clearing the WDT (step S78).

  On the other hand, in the interruption process of the effect control device 59, as shown in FIG. 29, first, a timer update process (step S101) for updating a soft timer managed by a program is performed. Next, an input process (step S102) for processing a signal input to the effect control device 59 and an output process (step S103) for processing a signal output from the effect control device 59 are performed. Next, a main command reception process (step S104) for receiving a game-related command transmitted from the game control device 58 to the effect control device 59 is performed, and the interrupt process is terminated.

  By the way, in the central accessory unit 101 of the first embodiment, the central accessory member 117 is supported only by the central movable arm 116 and can be moved up and down, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the central accessory unit 101 ′ of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 30 has basically the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, but separately from the central movable guide groove 110a and the central accessory guide protrusion 127. The difference is that a mechanism for engaging the central accessory member 117 with the central unit base 110 is provided. In the game board 6 of the second embodiment, the light guide effect mechanism 112 of the central accessory unit 101 ′ and the drive mechanism of the lower accessory rear unit 105 ′ have different configurations from those of the first embodiment. . The light guide effect mechanism 112 and the lower accessory rear unit 105 ′ will be described in detail later.

  First, the configuration for engaging the central accessory member 117 in the second embodiment will be specifically described. The central accessory unit 101 ′ includes a central unit base 110 and a central unit base 110 as shown in FIG. Between the central actor member 117 mounted in an operable state, the central actor guide projection 127 of the central officer member 117 (in other words, the central actor member 117 is attached to the central unit base 110). A stage engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 is provided which allows the central unit base 110 to be repeatedly engaged / disengaged at a place different from the place). The central accessory member 117 of the second embodiment is attached to the lower edge portion of the rear base portion 125 with the central decorative panel 251 facing the front of the central accessory member 117 (see FIG. 31). .

  The production engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 includes a member-side engagement / disengagement unit 253 provided on the upper part of the central accessory member 117, and a base-side engagement / disengagement unit provided on the central unit base 110 that can be engaged / disengaged with the member-side engagement / disengagement unit 253. 254. The member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 is a flat portion facing upward from the central accessory member 117, and is configured by mounting a metal adsorption portion 255 on which the magnetic force can act on the rear base portion 125 (see FIG. 31). Further, the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254 is configured to be disposed at a position located above the central accessory member 117 and the central movable arm 116 in the central unit base 110 and serves as a base portion of the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254. A longitudinally engaging / disengaging portion main body 256 is provided, and one end portion (left end portion in FIG. 30) of the engaging / disengaging portion main body 256 in the longitudinal direction is connected to an engaging / disengaging rotation shaft 258 (FIG. 32 (b) and FIG. 33 (b)) is pivotally mounted in a rotatable state, and the adsorbing portion 255 can be adsorbed to the other end portion (the right end portion in FIG. 30) serving as the free end portion of the engagement / disengagement portion main body 256 by magnetic force. The magnet portion 257 is pivotally attached in a swingable state. Further, an engagement / disengagement guide projection 259 is projected from the other end portion of the engagement / disengagement portion main body 256 toward the front central unit base 110 side, and the vertical arc-shaped engagement / disengagement established at the upper side portion of the central unit base 110. The engagement / disengagement guide projection 259 is engaged with the guide groove 260 (see FIG. 32B) in a slidable state. Then, as shown in FIG. 32, the lower end portion of the engagement / disengagement biasing member 261 such as a coil spring is locked to the middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the engagement / disengagement portion main body 256, and the upper end portion of the engagement / disengagement biasing member 261 is engaged. Is engaged with the upper edge portion of the central unit base 110, and the base side engaging / disengaging portion 254 is constantly urged upward by the urging force of the engaging / disengaging urging member 261.

  As shown in FIG. 32A, the magnet portion 257 is configured by housing a permanent magnet 265 in a magnet holder 264, and the lower surface of the magnet portion 257 is used as an engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 (see FIG. 34). The member side engagement / disengagement part 253 can be contacted (specifically, surface contact is possible), and the upper part of the magnet holder 264 is pivotally attached to the free end of the base side engagement / disengagement part 254 so that it can be engaged and disengaged. The inclination posture of the surface 266 (inclination posture inclined along the longitudinal direction of the base side engaging / disengaging portion 254 (inclination posture in the left-right direction in FIG. 32A)) can be changed by swinging the magnet portion 257. . Then, the magnet portion 257 cannot be rotated by its own weight and the tilt posture cannot be changed, for example, by setting the fit of the shaft attachment portion to the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254 of the magnet portion 257 to an intermediate fit or gap fit. However, when an external force is applied, the tilt posture is changed by rotating.

  In the central actor unit 101 ′ having the effect engaging / disengaging mechanism 250 having such a configuration, in the normal state in which the central actor member 117 is disposed at the effect non-execution position, as shown in FIGS. The detaching portion 254 is rotated upward by the urging force of the engagement / disengagement biasing member 261, and the engagement / disengagement guide protrusion 259 is engaged with the upper end portion of the engagement / disengagement guide groove 260 to be set to the top dead state (the highest rise state). The Then, the base-side engagement / disengagement part 254 in the top dead state brings the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 of the magnet part 257 into surface contact with the member-side engagement / disengagement part 253 and attracts the member-side engagement / disengagement part 253 to the magnet part 257. In this way, the production engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 engages the central accessory member 117 and the central unit base 110 with an engagement force (adsorption force, magnetic force) having a preset strength. Therefore, the central actor unit 101 ′ can maintain the state of the central actor member 117 by the effect engaging / disengaging mechanism 250, and the central actor member 117 inadvertently performs an operation different from the setting (details). Can avoid the inconvenience of shifting downward from the production non-execution position.

  When the central movable arm 116 is rotated downward by driving of the central actor drive motor 120 and the central actor member 117 starts to be lowered from the effect non-execution position, as shown in FIG. The member-side engagement / disengagement portion 253 (adsorption portion 255) that descends together pulls down the base-side engagement / disengagement portion 254 and rotates downward against the urging force of the engagement / disengagement urging member 261 (in other words, the central accessory member 117). Therefore, even if the central actor member 117 is moving up and down, it is possible to maintain the state where the central actor member 117 is engaged with and held by the central unit base 110 by the effect engaging / disengaging mechanism 250. It is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the accessory member 117 performs an operation different from the setting carelessly. Therefore, even if it is various operation modes, it becomes easy to stabilize the operation of the central bonus member 117, and the interest of the game can be enhanced. Further, since the magnet portion 257 is provided in a state that allows the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254 to rotate, the posture of the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 can be changed. The engagement can be continued without hindrance, and the operation of the central accessory member 117 can be further stabilized.

  When the central movable arm 116 continues to rotate downward and the lowering of the central accessory member 117 continues, the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254 engages the engagement / disengagement guide protrusion 259 with the lower end portion of the engagement / disengagement guide groove 260 and lowers. When the central role member 117 is further lowered in this state after being converted to a dead state (the lowest lowered state), the magnet portion 257 of the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254 that is in the bottom dead state, and the central role member that is going to continue to descend. A force for separating the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 (adsorption portion 255) of 117 (in other words, a force for separating the central accessory member 117 and the central unit base 110) acts. When the separation force gradually increases and becomes larger than the attractive force (engagement force) acting between the magnet portion 257 and the attracting portion 255, as shown in FIG. 36, the magnet portion 257 and the attracting portion 255 are obtained. Are separated from each other against the attracting force, and the effect engaging / disengaging mechanism 250 releases the state in which the central accessory member 117 is engaged with and held in the central unit base 110. At this time, one side edge (right side edge in FIG. 36A) of the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 is closer to the rotating shaft side of the magnet portion 257 than the other side edge (left side edge in FIG. 36A). Therefore, the rotation moment around the rotation axis of the adsorption force (magnetic force) acting on one side edge of the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 is around the rotation axis of the adsorption force (magnetic force) acting on the other side edge. It will be larger than the rotational moment. As a result, the magnet portion 257 rotates in a direction (counterclockwise direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. 36A) to turn the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 toward the axis attachment portion side of the central movable arm 116 to engage / disengage contact surface 266. One side edge is first detached from the member side engaging / disengaging part 253, and then the other side part is detached from the member side engaging / disengaging part 253. In this way, the magnet portion 257 and the attracting portion 255 can be smoothly separated using the rotation of the magnet portion 257.

  When the magnet portion 257 and the attracting portion 255 are separated from each other, as shown in FIGS. The engagement / disengagement guide protrusion 259 is engaged with the upper end of the engagement / disengagement guide groove 260 to return to the top dead state. When the central actor drive motor 120 is continuously driven to rotate the central movable arm 116 downward, the central actor member 117 reaches the effect execution position.

  Then, when the central accessory driving motor 120 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction and the central movable arm 116 is rotated upward, the central accessory member 117 rises from the effect execution position, and approaches the base side engaging / disengaging portion 254 in the top dead state. . At this time, since the rotating state when the magnet part 257 is detached from the member side engagement / disengagement part 253 is maintained, one side edge of the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 that is first separated from the member side engagement / disengagement part 253 ( The left side edge in FIG. 39 is further away from the member side engagement / disengagement part 253 than the other side edge (the right side edge in FIG. 39) that was later detached. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 39, the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 and the other side edge of the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 come into contact (adsorption) first, and the central actor member 117 continues to rise and the performance is not executed. When the position is reached, the magnet portion 257 is rotated by the pressing force of the central accessory member 117 and the attracting force acting between the magnet portion 257 and the attracting portion 255, and the member side engaging / disengaging portion 253 and the engaging / disengaging contact surface 266. A side edge of the abutment. As a result, the member side engagement / disengagement part 253 and the engagement / disengagement contact surface 266 are adsorbed in a surface contact state.

  In the production engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 that allows the central actor member 117 to be engaged and disengaged in this way, the center is generated by the attractive force (magnetic force) generated between the magnet portion 257 and the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 (adsorption portion 255). Since the accessory member 117 and the central unit base 110 are engaged and held, a mechanism for stabilizing the operation of the central accessory member 117 can be realized with a simple configuration.

Next, the light guide effect mechanism 112 ′ of the second embodiment will be described.
The light guide effect mechanism 112 ′ of the second embodiment has basically the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, but is different in that it includes two light guide plates stacked in front and back. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 40A to 40C, the first light guide plate 271 is arranged such that the first light guide plate 271 on the front side and the second light guide plate 272 on the rear side overlap each other. A plurality of first side light emitting members (full color LEDs) 275 are arranged side by side along the side edge of the first light guide plate 271 on the side (right side in FIG. 40A). A plurality of first lower light emitting members (full color LEDs) 276 are arranged along the lower edge of the first light guide plate 271 below the 271. A plurality of second side light emitting members (monochromatic LEDs) 277 are arranged side by side along the side edge of the second light guide plate 272 on the side of the second light guide plate 272 (right side in FIG. 40B). Has been established.

  A first peripheral dot pattern (effect display) DPE that expresses the drawing of a polygonal line by a plurality of fine transparent protrusions is applied to the central peripheral portion of the back surface of the first light guide plate 271, and the first peripheral dot pattern DPE In each of the transparent protrusions, a bent portion (see FIG. 5) that bends only light irradiated from the first side light emitting member 275 (light entering the first light guide plate 271 from the side) forward of the light guide effect mechanism 112 ′. Not shown). In addition, a first central dot pattern (character display) DPC expressing a character drawing by a plurality of fine transparent protrusions is applied to the central portion of the first light guide plate 271, and each transparent protrusion of the first central dot pattern DPC is provided. Includes a bent portion (not shown) that bends only light emitted from the first lower light emitting member 276 (light entering the first light guide plate 271 from the lower side) forward of the light guide effect mechanism 112 ′. Yes. Further, a second dot pattern (shutter display) DPS expressing a plurality of star marks drawn by a plurality of fine transparent protrusions is applied to the entire rear surface of the second light guide plate 272, and each transparent dot of the second dot pattern DPS is displayed. The protrusion has a bent portion (not shown) that bends only light emitted from the second side light emitting member 277 (light entering the second light guide plate 272 from the side) forward of the light guide effect mechanism 112 '. It has. A second light guide window 272a that avoids the formation of the second dot pattern DPS is set on a part of the back surface of the second light guide plate 272 (upper right corner in FIG. 40C), and the display device The display content of the 55 display portions 55a behind the second light guide window portion 272a (for example, the symbol change of the variable display game or the “right-handed” instruction) does not overlap the second dot pattern DPS. It is configured to be visible from the player side (see FIGS. 40D and 40E).

  In the light guide effect mechanism 112 ′ having such a configuration, the first side light emitting member 275 and the first lower light emitting member 276 are caused to emit light without causing the second side light emitting member 277 to emit light. When light enters only the light plate 271, as shown in FIG. 40 (d), a light emitting decoration in which the first central dot pattern DPC and the first peripheral dot pattern DPE emit light is executed. In addition, when the second side light emitting member 277 is caused to emit light without causing the first side light emitting member 275 and the first lower light emitting member 276 to emit light, and only light enters the second light guide plate 272, FIG. As shown in (), the light emitting decoration in which the second dot pattern DPS emits light is executed. Note that the execution timing and execution mode of the light emission decoration by the light guide effect mechanism 112 ′ may be set in any manner. For example, when the display content performed on the display device 55 shifts from the reach state of the decoration special figure variation display game to the next effect display, at least one of the first central dot pattern DPC or the first peripheral dot pattern DPE is emitted. The effect (in other words, the light emission of at least one of the first side light emitting member 275 and the first lower light emitting member 276) may be executed. Further, when prompting the player to perform a right-handed operation of the game ball, a “right-handed” instruction is displayed on the display unit 55a of the display device 55 so as to face forward from the second light guide window 272a. The second side light emitting member 277 may emit light so that the second dot pattern DPS emits light (see FIG. 40E).

  In addition, by gradually increasing or decreasing the number of light emission of the side light emitting members, it is possible to execute an effect in which the light emission locations of the dot pattern increase or decrease in stages. For example, as shown in FIG. 41 (a), in the case where the light emission decoration on the first light guide plate 271 is executed while the decoration special figure variation display game is displayed on the display unit 55a of the display device 55, If the number of light emission of the first side light emitting member 275 is increased in order from the upper side as the special figure variation display game progresses, the light emitting decoration is performed in such a manner that the first peripheral dot pattern DPE gradually spreads from the upper side to the lower side. be able to. In addition, as shown in FIG. 41 (b), when the light emission decoration on the second light guide plate 272 is executed, the second dot pattern can be obtained by increasing the light emission number of the second side light emitting member 277 in order from the upper and lower sides. Light emission decoration can be performed in such a manner that the DPS gradually covers the display content of the display unit 55a from both upper and lower edges (a mode in which the shutter is closed).

Next, the lower accessory rear unit 105 ′ of the second embodiment will be described.
The lower accessory rear unit 105 ′ of the second embodiment has basically the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, but when the lower accessory member 202 reaches the effect execution position, the lower accessory member 202 is. It differs in that it is configured to change the posture of the decorative panel. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 42 and 43, the lower accessory member 202 in the second embodiment is mounted on the rear unit base 201 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. 205 'and a lower accessory decoration panel 206' disposed on the front side of the lower accessory base 205 '. In addition, the lower accessory decorative panel 206 ′ is formed in a tilted crescent shape, and the central portion in the left-right direction is pivotally attached to the lower accessory base 205 ′ so as to be pivotable. A panel swing protrusion 281 is provided on the lower accessory lifting / lowering drive motor 215 side (right side in FIG. 42A) so as to be slidable in the swing guide groove 282 of the lower accessory base 205 ′. Engaged in a state. Further, the swing arm gear 283 is engaged with the lower arm gear 217 and the swing arm 284 is extended from the swing arm gear 283 so that the tip of the swing arm 284 can be engaged with the panel swing protrusion 281. In the normal state where the lower accessory member 202 is disposed at the effect non-execution position, the swing arm 284 extends to the lower accessory elevating drive motor 215 side (right side in FIG. 42A). The tip of the swing arm gear 283 is sufficiently separated from the panel swing protrusion 281. As shown in FIGS. 42B and 42C, an inclined surface 284a that is inclined with respect to the extending direction of the swing arm 284 is formed at the tip of the swing arm 284 to form a panel swing protrusion. The width may be set so that the 281 can be easily engaged, or a notch portion 284b to which the panel swinging projection 281 can be engaged may be provided.

  In the lower accessory rear unit 105 ′ having such a configuration, when the lower accessory raising / lowering drive motor 215 is driven to rotate the lower accessory arm 216 upward, it meshes with the lower arm gear 217. The swing arm 284 rotates together with the swing arm gear 283 and approaches the lower accessory member 202. Then, as shown in FIG. 42 (d), the tip of the swing arm 284 engages with the panel swing protrusion 281 immediately before the lower accessory member 202 reaches the effect execution position (top dead position). . Further, when the lower accessory lifting / lowering drive motor 215 is continuously driven and the lower accessory member 202 reaches the effect execution position (top dead position), as shown in FIG. 43, the tip of the swing arm 284 is moved to the panel. The swing protrusion 281 is pressed, and the lower accessory decoration panel 206 ′ is rotated by this pressing force to convert the tilted posture into the standing posture. The swing arm 284 may be rotated by any mechanism as long as it can press the panel swing protrusion 281 of the lower accessory decoration panel 206 ′ at the effect execution position. For example, a drive motor (not shown) may be provided in the lower accessory rear unit 105 ′ separately from the lower accessory elevating drive motor 215, and the swing arm 284 may be operated by driving the drive motor.

  And the game board 6 of 2nd Embodiment can perform various effects using the structure different from 1st Embodiment. For example, in the effect execution example shown in FIG. 44, the light guide effect mechanism 112 ′ executes an effect together with other components in a scene that prompts the player to make a right turn. Specifically, when the effect of urging the player to hit the game ball to the right by rotating the upper accessory rotating body 162 and the side edge accessory rotating body 182 clockwise when viewed from the front of the game board 6 is guided. All of the second side light emitting members 277 of the effect mechanism 112 'emit light to display the second dot pattern DPS. Is displayed so as to face forward from the second light guide window 272a. This makes it possible to strongly appeal to the player (especially for beginners who are not used to playing games), and the game ball is fired in a direction that makes it difficult to win a prize. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interests.

  In addition, the light guide plate control process (step S91) for controlling the effect operation of the light guide effect mechanism 112 ′ is first performed at the timing when the first central dot pattern (character display) DPC is lit and displayed, as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not there is (step S111), and when the light emission display timing of the first central dot pattern DPC has arrived, a setting is made to emit light from all the first lower light emitting members 276 (step S112). After the execution of step S112, or when it is determined in step S111 that the timing of the light emission display of the first center dot pattern DPC is not reached, the sequential light emission display of the first peripheral dot pattern (effect display) DPE (FIG. 41 (a) ) See)) is determined (step S113), and when the timing of sequential light emission display of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE has arrived, the light emission number of the first side light emitting member 275 is gradually increased. Setting to increase (sequential light emission) is performed (step S114). After the execution of step S114, or when it is determined in step S113 that it is not the timing of sequential light emission display of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE, the entire light emission display of the first peripheral dot pattern (effect display) DPE (FIG. 40 ( a) see) is determined (step S115), and when the timing of all light emission display of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE has arrived, all of the first side light emitting members 275 are all at once. Is set to emit light (all light emission) (step S116).

  After the execution of step S116, or when it is determined in step S115 that it is not the timing of the full light emission display of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE, the sequential light emission display of the second dot pattern (shutter display) DPS (FIG. 41 (b) ))) (Step S117), and when the timing of sequential light emission display of the second dot pattern DPS has come, the number of light emission of the second side light emitting member 277 gradually increases. Setting to perform (sequential light emission) is performed (step S118). After execution of step S118, or when it is determined in step S117 that the timing of sequential light emission display of the second dot pattern DPS is not reached, all light emission display of the second dot pattern (shutter display) DPS (FIG. 40C). 44) (step S119), and when the timing of full light emission display of the second dot pattern DPS has arrived, all of the second side light emitting members 277 are all at once. Is set to emit light (all light emission) (step S120). After execution of step S120, or when it is determined in step S119 that it is not the timing of full light emission display of the second dot pattern DPS, the light guide plate control process is terminated.

  46 and 47, the player is instructed to perform a so-called left strike (perform a shooting operation so that the game ball flows down to the second case ball flow path 27) and start the game ball. In order to encourage winning to the winning unit 38 (specifically, the game ball enters the starting winning unit 38 from the second case ball flow down path 27 through the ball introduction path 79 and the stage portion 76). The rotating body 162, the side edge accessory rotating body 182, the light guide effect mechanism 112 ', and the lower accessory member 202 perform the effect operation.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 47A, when the electric support state is finished, the effect control device 59 stops the driving of the upper accessory driving motor 169 and the side edge accessory driving motor 189 and moves it to the right. The effect of the hitting instruction (the clockwise rotation of the upper accessory rotating body 162 and the side edge accessory rotating body 182) is finished, and the upper accessory driving motor 169 and the side edge accessory driving motor 189 are in the electric support state. It is driven in the reverse direction to the drive, and the upper accessory rotating body 162 and most of the side edge accessory rotating bodies 182 (specifically, the side excluding the first side edge rotating body 182a located at the upper portion of the side edge accessory unit 104) The edge accessory rotating body 182) is rotated counterclockwise as viewed from the front of the game board 6. By this rotation operation, the upper edge rotating body 162 moves the upper edge portion on the armor portion 63 side from the right side to the left side of the game board 6, and most of the side edge rotating object 182 is moved to the first case ball flow path. The side edge portion (the right side portion in FIG. 46) on the 26th side is moved from the lower side to the upper side of the game board 6 to instruct the player to perform so-called left-handed. In addition, the second side light emitting member 277 of the light guide effect mechanism 112 ′ emits light to display the second dot pattern DPS, and the display unit 55a of the display device 55 displays “left-handed” characters and A numerical display of the number of holdings (display indicated by “0” in FIG. 46) and a numerical display of the special figure 2 holding number (display indicated by “4” in FIG. 46) are displayed as a second light guide. The window portion 272a is faced forward, the reduced variation display design is displayed, and the display portion 55a is faced forward from a position shifted downward from the second dot pattern DPS. Note that the first side edge rotating body 182a located in the vicinity of the “left-handed” character rotates reversely to the other rotating bodies 162 and 182, so that it is easy for the player to notice the reverse rotation and turn his line of sight. Furthermore, it is easy to put “left-handed” characters into view. Therefore, it is easy to grasp that the “left-handed” instruction is issued from the pachinko gaming machine 1. Further, the lower accessory lifting / lowering drive motor 215 is driven to raise the lower accessory member 202 from the effect non-execution position to the effect execution position, thereby converting the lower accessory decoration panel 206 ′ from the tilted posture to the standing state. Then, the upper part of the lower accessory decorative panel 206 ′ is caused to face forward from the case window 62 of the center case 23 in a vertical orientation along the second case ball flow down path 27.

  Then, when a preset left-handed instruction effect time elapses, the driving of the upper accessory driving motor 169 and the side edge accessory driving motor 189 is stopped, the light emission of the second side light emitting member 277 is stopped, and the display device 55 displays. The left-handed instruction display is stopped in the part 55a. Further, the lower accessory raising / lowering drive motor 215 is driven to lower the lower accessory member 202 from the effect execution position to the effect non-execution position and return from the standing posture to the tilted posture. In this way, if the left-handed instruction for the game ball is executed by the effect operations of the upper accessory rotating body 162, the side edge accessory rotating body 182, the light guide effect mechanism 112 ', and the lower accessory member 202, the game It is possible to strongly appeal the left-handed instruction to the person. In the effect of left-handed instruction, the control of the upper accessory driving motor 169 and the side edge accessory driving motor 189 may be set to a state in which driving and stopping are alternately repeated.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 47 (b), when execution of a separate predetermined effect is instructed during execution of the left-handed instruction effect, the raising / lowering operation of the lower accessory member 202 is set in this predetermined effect. The lower accessory member that has driven the lower accessory lifting / lowering drive motor 215 at the start of execution of the predetermined effect to return the lower accessory member 202 to the effect non-execution position and returned to the effect non-execution position. The predetermined effect is executed by raising 202 again. If the time difference between the start of execution of the predetermined effect and the return of the lower accessory member 202 to the effect non-execution position exceeds the allowable range, the lower effect member 202 as the predetermined effect is The lifting / lowering operation may be canceled. When the interruption execution of the predetermined effect is started, the effect operations of the upper accessory rotating body 162, the side edge accessory rotating body 182 and the light guide effect mechanism 112 'in the left-handed instruction effect are interrupted.

  48 to 50, with the progress of the round game in a big hit state (game in which the big winning opening 31 is released for 20 seconds or until 10 game balls are won), In addition to the opening / closing operation of the decoration opening / closing member 94 and the display of the moving image of the game ball, the central actor member 117 and the light guide effect mechanism 112 ′ are configured to execute the effect operation. More specifically, when a game ball wins the big winning opening 31 and is detected by the count switch 86 in the big hit state, the effect control device 59 is controlled by the central bonus unit 101 ′ based on the detection signal of the count switch 86. The central actor drive motor 120 is controlled to lower the central actor member 117 from the effect non-execution position. Then, the lowering operation is stopped at the timing when the base side engaging / disengaging portion 254 moving together with the central accessory member 117 is in a bottom dead state (a state where the engaging / disengaging guide protrusion 259 is engaged with the lower end portion of the engaging / disengaging guide groove 260). Thus, the base side engagement / disengagement portion 254 and the member side engagement / disengagement portion 253 are avoided from separating, and the lower edge portion of the stopped central accessory member 117 faces forward from the case window 62 of the center case 23 (FIG. 48). To FIG. 50). Further, the driving of the central actor drive motor 120 is controlled to raise the central actor member 117 from the stop position and return it to the effect non-execution position.

  In this way, if the stage is performed so that the central bonus member 117 is visible and hidden each time the game ball wins the grand prize opening 31, the player can play the central role together with the state of winning the game ball into the big prize opening 31. It is possible to enjoy the production operation of the object member 117 and to improve the interest of the game. Further, since the central actor member 117 performs the ascending / descending operation while being engaged with and held by the central unit base 110 via the effect engaging / disengaging mechanism 250, the central actor member 117 is carelessly different from the setting. The inconvenience of executing the operation can be avoided.

  In addition, the light guide effect mechanism 112 ′ executes an effect that gradually widens the light emission range of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE each time the game ball wins the big winning opening 31. For example, in order to divide the light emission range of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE into three stages and gradually spread from the upper part, the plurality of first side light emitting members 275 are divided into the upper, central, and lower ranges. This is set (see FIG. 41 (a)). Then, when the first game ball is won in the big winning opening 31 and detected by the count switch 86 after the start of the round game, the effect control device 59 performs the first side operation based on the detection signal of the count switch 86. The light emitting member 275 set to the upper range is operated to emit light. Then, as shown in FIG. 48, the upper part of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE is displayed by light emission.

  Next, when the fifth game ball is won in the big winning opening 31 after the round game is started and is detected by the count switch 86, the effect control device 59 performs the first control based on the detection signal of the count switch 86. The light emitting operation of the side light emitting member 275 set in the center range is additionally performed. Then, as shown in FIG. 49, in addition to the upper part of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE, the central part is lit and displayed. Furthermore, when the tenth game ball is won at the grand prize opening 31 after the round game starts and is detected by the count switch 86 (in other words, the number of game balls won at the big prize opening 31 is the number of round games. Based on the detection signal of the count switch 86, the effect control device 59 additionally performs the light emission operation of the first side light emitting member 275 set in the lower range based on the detection signal of the count switch 86. Then, as shown in FIG. 50, in addition to the upper part and the center part of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE, the lower part is lit and displayed. That is, the entire first peripheral dot pattern DPE is displayed by light emission. In the display unit 55a of the display device 55, a character “next round!” Is displayed at a portion overlapping the first central dot pattern DPC in the front and rear, and the periphery of this character is illuminated with the first peripheral dot pattern DPE. The effect of performing is performed. In this way, if the effect of gradually expanding the light emission range of the first peripheral dot pattern DPE with the progress of the round game is executed, the player can easily grasp the progress of the round game.

  In the second embodiment, the decoration effect accompanying the progress of the game is set so that the decoration effect is executed in conjunction with the raising / lowering operation of the central accessory member 117 and the effect operation of the other accessory member. Also good. At this time, when the central actor member 117 is engaged with and held by the central unit base 110 via the effect engaging / disengaging mechanism 250, the central actor member 117 is different from the preset operation (for example, Since it is possible to suppress the sudden lowering), the other accessory member (particularly, the lower accessory member 202 arranged at the effect execution position) and the central accessory member 117 inadvertently collide with each other. To prevent inconvenience of damage.

  Moreover, although the production | presentation engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 of 2nd Embodiment enabled / disengaged the central member 117 and the center unit base 110 using magnetic force, this invention is not limited to this. In short, when the effect base of the movable effect device and the movable member are engaged with each other with a preset engagement force, and the force member and the effect base act to separate the accessory member and the effect base, As long as it is possible to release the engagement state with the effect base, the configuration for generating the engagement force is not limited. For example, a hook-and-loop fastener may be used for the production engagement / disengagement mechanism 250 to generate the engaging force, or an adhesive sheet may be used to generate the engaging force.

  By the way, in each said embodiment, the electric circuit board (For example, the light emission decoration part 64 of the center case 23, and the light emission board accommodated in each accessory unit provided in the game board 6 in the state visible from the player side) However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the light emitting decoration portion 64 ′ of the center case 23 in the third embodiment shown in FIG. 51 devises the information display mode on the electric circuit board on which the light emitting member is mounted, and attenuates the decoration effect of the game board 6 It is configured to be able to avoid.

  More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 51A and 51B, the light emitting decoration portion 64 ′ is behind the panel-shaped decoration member 291 having translucency (in other words, more game than the decoration member 291. A light emitting decorative board (electric circuit board) 292 is provided on the rear side opposite to the person side. In addition, a plurality of electrical components including a light emitting member 293 that is a white LED are mounted on the surface (front surface that is a mounting surface) of the light emitting decorative substrate 292 toward the decorative member 291 (see FIG. 51B and FIG. 51). (See (c)), the light generated from the light emitting member 293 is irradiated to the front of the light emitting decorative portion 64 ′ through the decorative member 291 so that the light emitting decorative portion 64 ′ performs the light emitting decoration. Further, the surface of the light emitting decorative substrate 292 is colored white including a circuit wiring pattern (not shown). As shown in FIG. 51 (d), light is emitted as substrate configuration information 294 related to the configuration of the light emitting decoration substrate 292 on the back surface of the light emitting decoration substrate 292 on the back side of the mounting portion of each light emitting member 293. The design name (LED1, LED2, etc.) of the member 293 is displayed. The substrate configuration information 294 is displayed by silkscreen printing, but may be displayed using any display means.

  In this way, if the board configuration information 294 is avoided from being displayed on the surface of the light emitting decoration board 292, the player can visually inspect the board configuration information 294 on the light emitting decoration board 292 through the decoration member 291. It is possible to prevent inconvenience that the decoration effect based on the design of the member 291 and the decoration effect based on the light emission of the light emitting member 293 are attenuated to impair the interest of the game. In addition, since the surface of the light emitting decorative substrate 292 is colored white and a white LED is mounted as the light emitting member 293, white light generated from the light emitting member 293 spreads over the entire surface of the light emitting decorative substrate 292, and brightness It becomes easy to reflect to the front decoration member 291 side in the state which suppressed the fall of this. Therefore, even if the number of the light emitting members 293 mounted is reduced, the light emitting decorative portion 64 ′ can emit light without unevenness. Further, when the decorative member 291 is formed of a colored transparent member, the color of the decorative member 291 can be displayed vividly, and the decorative effect of the light emitting decorative portion 64 ′ can be improved.

  In addition, although the light emission decoration board | substrate 292 was illustrated as an electric circuit board | substrate, this invention is not limited to this. In short, any electric circuit board may be used as long as it is visible from the player side through the translucent decorative member. Moreover, although the name of the mounting component (light-emitting member 293) is illustrated as the board configuration information, the present invention is not limited to this. In short, any form of board configuration information may be used as long as it indicates the contents related to the configuration of the electric circuit board. For example, when displaying information about an electrical component to be mounted, the specifications of the electrical component (capacitor capacity, diode mounting direction, voltage value, etc.), the model number of the electrical component, the design part number, You may display the mounting location of an electrical component by a character, a symbol, drawing, and coloring. In the case of displaying information about the electric circuit board itself, information indicating the mounting mode of the electric circuit board with respect to the game board (front / back direction, up / down direction, left / right direction, etc.), and supporting the electric circuit board. Attaching position to the support part (screw fixing point, locking point, etc.) and the location of the terminal receiving part to which the test terminal is connected for the operation test of the game board may be displayed by characters, symbols, drawing, coloring. .

  Furthermore, when mounting a wiring connector on an electric circuit board, the board configuration information related to the wiring connector is set to a display mode different from the board configuration information related to other electrical components. You may make it easy to grasp. For example, as shown in FIG. 52A, when the wiring connector 300 is mounted on the back surface of the light emitting decorative substrate 292, the mounting position of the wiring connector 300 is brought close to the edge of the light emitting decorative substrate 292 and the light emitting member 293 is mounted. The direction of the character information 301a is separated from the board configuration information (part number information) 294, and the direction of the character information 301a in the board configuration information 301 (character information 301a and the mounting location instruction information 301b displayed by rectangular drawing) is displayed as information of the wiring connector 300. The direction may be different from the board configuration information (part number information) 294 of the light emitting member 293.

  When the wiring connector 300 is mounted on the surface of the light emitting decorative substrate 292, as shown in FIG. 52B, the board configuration information 301 of the wiring connector 300 is also displayed on the surface of the light emitting decorative substrate 292. You may comprise so that this board | substrate structure information 301 may be visually recognized simultaneously with the board | substrate structure information regarding other electrical components (for example, board | substrate structure information 294 of the light emission member 293). At this time, as shown in FIG. 52C, on the light emitting decoration board 292 before the wiring connector 300 is mounted, the character information 301a indicating the pin number is displayed inside the mounting location instruction information 301b, and the light emitting decoration is displayed. When the wiring connector (electrical component) 300 is mounted on the substrate (electric circuit substrate) 292, the character information (substrate configuration information) 301a may be covered with the wiring connector (electrical component) 300 so that it cannot be seen. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 52D and 52E, the board configuration information 301 of the wiring connector 300 is displayed on the back surface instead of the front surface of the light emitting decorative board 292, but the board configuration information on other electrical components (for example, The substrate configuration information 301 may be separated from the substrate configuration information 294) of the light emitting member 293 so that the substrate configuration information 301 can be easily viewed. In each modification shown in FIGS. 52A to 52E, the pin information (numbers “1” and “4”) of the wiring connector 300 and the design parts are used as the character information 301a of the wiring connector 300. Although the numbers (characters “CN1” and “CN2”) are illustrated, other information regarding the wiring connector 300 may be displayed as the character information 301a.

  When the circuit wiring pattern and the board configuration information are arranged on the same surface of the electric circuit board, as shown in FIG. 53A, the electric circuit board (for example, the light emitting device on which the light emitting member 293 is mounted). The board configuration information (for example, the board configuration information 294 of the light emitting member 293) may be arranged to overlap the circuit wiring pattern P of the decorative board 292). Therefore, a part of the board configuration information may be displayed shifted from the circuit wiring pattern P. For example, as shown in FIG. 53B, rectangular mounting location instruction information 294a indicating the location of the light emitting member 293 in the board configuration information 294 of the light emitting member 293 is displayed over the circuit wiring pattern P. Of the board configuration information 294, character information 294b indicating a design part number or the like may be displayed shifted from the circuit wiring pattern P. Further, as shown in FIG. 53 (c), specific display information preset as a part of the board configuration information 294 (for example, a small triangular mark displayed with a width equal to or smaller than the width dimension of the circuit wiring pattern P). Only 294c may be displayed shifted from the circuit wiring pattern P. In this way, if a part of the board configuration information 294 is displayed while being shifted from the circuit wiring pattern P, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that a part of the board configuration information 294 is difficult to grasp.

  Furthermore, when displaying the board configuration information related to each electrical component on the electrical circuit board with respect to a plurality of adjacently mounted electrical components, the display mode of the board configuration information, in particular, information displayed in characters (design) The display mode of the upper part number or the like may be varied depending on the degree of density of the electrical parts. For example, if the distance between the electrical components mounted on the electrical circuit board is set narrow and character information of a predetermined size cannot be displayed in the vicinity of the electrical component mounting location, a group of multiple electrical components is mounted. It is preferable to set as a component group and display information regarding the mounted component group as board configuration information at a location that is out of the mounting location of the mounted component group. Specifically, in the light emitting decorative substrate 292 shown in FIG. 54A, a plurality of (for example, nine) light emitting members 293 mounted on the surface of the light emitting decorative substrate 292 are set as the mounting component group 310 to emit light. On the back surface of the decorative board 292, rectangular mounting location instruction information 314 is displayed as a part of the board configuration information 312 related to the mounting component group 310 to indicate the mounting location of the mounting component group 310. The mounting component group information 315 that is a part of the board configuration information 312 is displayed larger than the mounting location instruction information 314, and a connection line 316 is provided between the mounting component group information 315 and the mounting location instruction information 314. Is drawing. In the mounting component group information 315, character information 315a such as a design part number of each light-emitting member 293 constituting the mounting component group 310 is displayed, and the arrangement of the character information 315a is displayed in the mounting component group 310. It is set according to the arrangement of the light emitting members 293. If the mounting component group information 315 having such a configuration is employed, the contents of a plurality of board configuration information can be grasped together. In addition, when a plurality of electrical components are mounted in a dense state, it is possible to display the board configuration information relating to each electrical component in an easy-to-see manner without hindrance. The mounting component group information 315 is not limited to being set larger than the mounting location instruction information 314, and may be set to a size smaller than the mounting location instruction information 314.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 54 (b), an out-of-group configuration different from the components of the mounting component group 310 in the area indicated by the mounting location instruction information 314 (for example, a fastener such as a screw on the light emitting decorative substrate 292) When the through-hole 317) for passing through is disposed, the out-group configuration may be omitted and the mounting component group information 315 may be displayed. At this time, in the mounting component group information 315, the character information 315a may be displayed with a portion corresponding to the arrangement location of the out-of-group configuration, or may be displayed with the character information 315a packed without being empty.

  Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 54, the mounting component group 310 is configured by only the light emitting member 293, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a plurality of types of electric components may be mounted on an electric circuit board in a dense state and set as a mounting component group. Alternatively, a plurality of sets of mounting component groups may be set on the electric circuit board, and the mounting component group information in which information on each mounting component group is described may be displayed on the electric circuit board. Further, all the electrical components mounted on the electric circuit board may be set as a single mounting part group, and the mounting part group information describing the information of the mounting part group may be displayed on the electric circuit board. .

  Also, in the light emitting decorative substrate 292 shown in FIGS. 55 (a) and (b), the arrangement interval of adjacent electric components is set wider than that of the light emitting decorative substrate 292 shown in FIG. (Mounting density) is set lower than that of the light emitting decorative substrate 292 shown in FIG. The display mode of the board configuration information is different from the display mode of the board configuration information 312 in FIG. Specifically, in FIG. 55 (a), the interval between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted side by side in the vertical direction is the interval between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted side by side in the horizontal direction. The character information 294b is displayed on the side of each mounting location instruction information 294a. Further, in FIG. 55B, the interval between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted side by side in the vertical direction is set wider than the interval between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted side by side in the horizontal direction. Character information 294b is displayed above or below each mounting location instruction information 294a. Thus, if the display mode of the board configuration information is changed according to the density of the electrical components, the density of the electrical components can be easily grasped only by visually checking the board configuration information.

  Note that the display mode of the board configuration information may be varied based not only on the density of the electrical components but also on the number of characters of the displayed character information. For example, as shown in FIG. 56 (a), the interval between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted side by side in the vertical direction is larger than the interval between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted side by side in the horizontal direction. If the number of characters in the character information 294b is larger than a predetermined character prescribed number (for example, five characters), the character information 294b is set to be displayed on the side of each mounting location instruction information 294a. May be. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 56 (b), the interval between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted side by side in the vertical direction is larger than the interval between the electrical components (light emitting members 293) mounted side by side in the horizontal direction. When the number of characters in the character information 294b is larger than a predetermined prescribed number (for example, five characters), the character information 294b is displayed above or below each mounting location instruction information 294a. It may be set.

  And although the light emitting member and the wiring connector were illustrated as an electrical component of this invention in the said embodiment, this invention is not limited to this. The electrical component mounted on the electrical circuit board of the present invention may be another electrical component. For example, an IC, ROM, RAM, switch, photocoupler, resistor (resistor array), relay, capacitor, diode, transistor, or coil may be applied as the electrical component of the present invention. Further, the electric circuit board on which the board configuration information is described is not limited to being a board covered with a decorative member having translucency. In short, as long as electrical components are mounted, it is not limited to a light emitting decorative substrate. For example, the board configuration information of the present invention is displayed on a board (main board) constituting a game control apparatus, a board (sub board) constituting an effect control apparatus, a payout control apparatus, etc., a relay board for relaying electrical signals, etc. Also good.

  By the way, in the third embodiment shown in FIG. 51, attenuation of the decoration effect of the decoration member 291 is prevented by displaying the board configuration information 294 on the back surface of the light emitting decoration board (electric circuit board) 292. It is not limited to. For example, when a circuit wiring pattern is provided on the surface of the electric circuit board, the circuit wiring pattern is mixed with the pattern on the decorative member 291 so that it is difficult to distinguish from the player side. The attenuation of the decorative effect may be prevented. Specifically, in the light emitting decorative portion 64 ″ of the modified example shown in FIG. 57, the player member 291 has a portion positioned in front of the circuit wiring pattern P of the light emitting decorative substrate 292 and a peripheral portion as viewed from the player side. When the line pattern LP extending along the circuit wiring pattern P is applied with protrusions, grooves, coloring, etc., and the player views the decorative member 291, the circuit wiring pattern P on the surface of the light emitting decorative substrate 292 becomes the decorative member. It may be configured to appear as if it is a part of the linear pattern LP on 291. In this way, if the circuit wiring pattern P is camouflaged with the pattern LP of the decorative member 291, the circuit wiring pattern P Can be suppressed, and the inconvenience that the decoration effect of the decoration member 291 is attenuated to impair the fun of the game can be prevented.

  In each of the above embodiments, the light-emitting decorative board that can be visually recognized by the player is exemplified as the electric circuit board of the present invention, and various aspects of the board configuration information displayed on the light-emitting decorative board are shown. Is not limited to this. For example, the board configuration information in the above-described form may be displayed on an electric circuit board (such as an electric circuit board covered with an opaque member from the player side) that is not visible to the player. At this time, the board configuration information may be displayed on either the player side of the electric circuit board or the opposite side of the player. Furthermore, even if the circuit board is visible to the player, the board configuration information is displayed on the player side of the electrical circuit board, and the board is placed in a region of the electrical circuit board opposite to the player. It is also possible to avoid displaying the configuration information and to make effective use of the opposite area for other purposes.

  By the way, in the present invention, the board configuration information may be displayed on the electric circuit board regardless of whether or not the player can visually recognize, and various ideas may be applied to the display mode of the board configuration information. Hereinafter, other embodiments of the electric circuit board on which the board configuration information is displayed will be exemplified.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 58, a frame-shaped component non-mounting area 321 (area shown by hatching in FIG. 58) is set along the edge of the horizontally long electric circuit board 320, and the component non-mounting area 321 is electrically connected. The mounting of the component 322 and the display of the character information 324 (specifically, the character information 324 including the component number of the electrical component 322) which is a kind of board configuration information are avoided. More specifically, the electric circuit board 320 is mounted with a plurality of electric components 322 (first component 322a, second component 322b, third component 322c, and fourth component 322d) having a strip shape. The first component 322a and the second component 322b are set in a posture extending along the longitudinal direction (lateral direction) of the electric circuit board 320, and the third component 322c is set in the longitudinal direction (lateral direction) of the electric circuit board 320. Is set to a posture that extends along a direction orthogonal to each other, and the fourth component 322d is set to a posture that is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction (lateral direction) of the electric circuit board 320.

  In addition, the character information (first part number information indicated by “R101”) 324a of the first part 322a is displayed vertically on the side of the first part 322a, and the first character of the first part number information 324a is displayed. “R” is spaced downward from the component non-mounting region 321. Further, character information (second part number information indicated by “R102”) 324b of the second part 322b is displayed in horizontal writing below the second part 322b, and is the first character of the second part number information 324b. “R” is laterally separated from the component non-mounting region 321. The character information (third part number information indicated by “R103”) 324c of the third part 322c is in a horizontal writing state with a surrounding frame on the side of the third part 322c, and the character arrangement direction is the first. The three parts 322c are displayed along the longitudinal direction, and one side (the upper side in FIG. 58) of the third part number information 324c is arranged at the boundary of the part non-mounting region 321. Further, below the fourth component 322d, the character information (fourth component number information indicated by “R104”) 324d of the fourth component 322d is displayed in a state where the arrangement direction of the characters is along the longitudinal direction of the fourth component 322d. “4”, which is the last character of the fourth part number information 324d, is spaced upward from the part non-mounting area 321. In this way, if the electrical component 322 and the board configuration information (character information 324) are avoided from being arranged at the edge of the electrical circuit board 320, a tool or the like collides with the electrical component 322 or the board configuration information (character information 324). ) Can be avoided.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 59, an information sticker 327 on which a two-dimensional code or management information is printed is pasted on the electric circuit board 326 as one of the components of the electric circuit board 326. The pasting location instruction information 328 indicating the pasting location 327 is displayed as the board configuration information of the electric circuit board 326. More specifically, in FIG. 59 (a), a rectangular frame-like pasting location instruction information 328a is displayed on the electric circuit board 326 by printing (for example, silk screen printing), and the pasting location designation information 328a is displayed in the pasting location designation information 328a. An information sticker 327 is attached to the space. In FIG. 59 (b), a rectangular frame-shaped pasting location instruction information 328b is displayed on the electric circuit board 326 by a wiring circuit pattern, and an information sticker 327 is pasted in a space portion in the pasting location instruction information 328b. ing. Further, in FIG. 59 (c), the paste location instruction information 328c expressed by discontinuous line segments is displayed on the electric circuit board 326 by printing (for example, silk screen printing), and the paste location indication information 328 is displayed. An information sticker 327 is pasted with the corners aligned. In FIG. 59 (d), the paste location instruction information 328d is expressed by two triangular marks having acute angles close to each other and displayed on the electric circuit board 326 by printing (for example, silk screen printing). The information sticker 327 is pasted in a state where the corners are aligned with the pasting location instruction information 328d (specifically, the location where the sharp corners of the two triangular marks are close to each other). Thus, even when a component (non-electric component) that is not included in the electrical component constitutes a part of the electrical circuit board 326, information such as the location of the non-electric component is used as the board configuration information in the electrical circuit. If displayed on the board 326, the efficiency of the manufacturing work of the electric circuit board 326 can be improved. Components that are not mounted on the finished product of the electric circuit board 326 at the time of shipment (for example, components such as connectors that are mounted at the development stage and the test stage but are removed from the electric circuit board 326 at the shipment stage from the factory) Also, information such as the arrangement location and part number may be displayed on the electric circuit board 326 as board configuration information.

And a scale 335 indicating a movable position of the slider as a kind of specification of the slide switch 331 is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing). When the slide switch 331 is mounted on the electric circuit board 330, as shown in FIG. 60B, the mounting location instruction information 333 surrounds the slide switch 331, but the character information 334 and the scale 335 are displayed on the slide switch 331. It is configured to be covered and hidden. In this way, if information indicating that the setting of the electrical component can be changed is displayed as the board configuration information, it is easy to suppress the possibility that the operator mounts an incorrect electrical component during the assembly work of the electrical circuit board 330. be able to. The electrical component whose setting can be changed is not limited to the slide switch 331, but may be another type of electrical component. For example, an electrical component whose setting can be changed with a rotary dial may be used.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 63A, the substrate unit 360 has a resin mounting spacer 356 having a U-shape disposed between the first substrate 355 and the second substrate 357. The first substrate 355 and the second substrate 357 are separated from each other. Then, an electrical component 362 is mounted on the second substrate 357 (see FIG. 63B), and information about the electrical component 362 (character information 363 and mounting location instruction information 364) is used as substrate configuration information to form the first substrate 355. Of these, a superposition region 355a where the second substrate 357 is superposed is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing), and three sides of the superposition region 355a are surrounded by a mounting spacer 356 (see FIG. 63C). Thus, if the board | substrate structure information regarding the 2nd board | substrate 357 is displayed on the 1st board | substrate 355, even if the area | region which can display board | substrate structure information on the 2nd board | substrate 357 was not able to be ensured enough, the board | substrate regarding the 2nd board | substrate 357. The display of configuration information is not hindered.

  The overlap region 355a of the first substrate 355 covered with the second substrate 357 is provided with a terminal receiving portion 366 to which a test terminal (not shown) is connected (see FIG. 63 (c)). Information regarding the portion 366 (character information 367) is displayed as substrate configuration information by printing (for example, silk screen printing). And in the operation test performed before product shipment, it is comprised so that a test terminal can be connected to the terminal receiving part 366. FIG. As described above, if the electric component (terminal receiving portion 366 or the like) with limited use frequency and the board configuration information (character information 367 or the like) related to the electric component are arranged in the overlapping region 355a so as to be inconspicuous, It is possible to prevent the appearance of the unit 360 from becoming complicated. In addition, since the terminal receiving portion 366 that is not normally used, the one that does not release heat, or the one that does not need to be noticeable (for example, a through hole or a via) can be arranged and hidden in the overlapping region 355a, It is possible to avoid the things that are not used from being noticeable on the substrate unit 360, and to effectively use the space on the substrate unit 360.

  In addition, the second substrate 357 is mounted on the first substrate 355 via the mounting spacer 356, but another configuration (for example, a cooling fan or a heat sink) is mounted instead of the second substrate 357, and information on the other configuration is provided. May be displayed on the overlapping region 355a of the first substrate 355 as substrate configuration information.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 64, the specific electrical component 372 is mounted on the specific mounting area 370a set on the electric circuit board 370, and information (board configuration information) about the specific electrical component 372 is placed inside and outside the specific mounting area 370a. Each is displayed. More specifically, the electric circuit board 370 sets a part (portion indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIGS. 64 (a) and (b)) of the electric circuit board 370 in the specific mounting area 370a, As shown in FIG. 64A, on one surface (surface to be a mounting surface) of the specific mounting region 370a, a predetermined specific electric component 372 (for example, a motor or a solenoid) set in advance among a plurality of electric components is provided. A specific electrical component 372) whose operating voltage value is higher than other electrical components, such as an IC and a coil to be controlled, is mounted. Further, in the specific mounting region 370a, the other surface (back surface) opposite to the mounting surface has a plurality of widths set wider than the other wiring circuit patterns 374 as shown in FIG. 64 (b). A ground pattern is provided as the specific wiring circuit pattern 375, and a rectangular insulating portion 370b surrounding each specific wiring circuit pattern 375 is set at the boundary of the specific mounting region 370a. In other words, the specific mounting area 370a is partitioned by the insulating portion 370b formed on the outer periphery of the specific wiring circuit pattern 375, and a plurality of specific wiring circuit patterns 375 are arranged in the specific mounting area 370a. Note that a ground pin (not shown) which is a kind of terminal pin of the specific electrical component 372 may be electrically connected to the ground pattern (specific wiring circuit pattern 375).

  Furthermore, on the back surface of the specific mounting area 370a, mounting location instruction information 378 having a rectangular frame shape indicating the mounting location of the specific electrical component 372 is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing). Character information (character information of “A01”) 379 indicating the part number of the specific electrical component 372 is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing) at a location located outside the specific mounting region 370a. Further, a portion of the ground pattern (specific wiring circuit pattern 375) located between the mounting location instruction information 378 and the boundary of the specific mounting region 370a has a plurality of vias (holes penetrating the front and back of the electric circuit board 370). ) 376 is opened to surround the mounting location instruction information 378, and the specific wiring circuit pattern 375 is conducted to the wiring pattern (not shown) on the surface of the electric circuit board 370 by the via 376. In other words, the area where the mounting location instruction information 378 is displayed in the specific mounting area 370a is surrounded by the via 376. In this way, if the mounting location instruction information 378 is displayed in the specific mounting area 370a, and the character information 379 is displayed outside the specific mounting area 370a, the inconvenience that these pieces of information are too close and mixed is avoided. It is possible to make each information easy to visually recognize. In addition, if the specific mounting region 370a surrounded by the insulating portion 370b is widened by setting the specific wiring circuit pattern 375 widely, the electrical components arranged around the specific electrical component 372 can be separated from the specific electrical component 372. it can. Therefore, adverse effects such as noise generated from the specific electrical component 372 can be suppressed from affecting other electrical components. Furthermore, since the specific electrical component 372 is surrounded by a plurality of vias 376, the mounting location of the specific electrical component 372 (in other words, the specific electrical component 372 that can affect other electrical components) can be easily confirmed. . The specific wiring circuit pattern 375 is not limited to being a ground pattern. In short, a wiring circuit pattern having any function may be used as long as it is set wider than other wiring circuit patterns. Further, if the mounting location instruction information 378 and the character information 379 are easily visible, both pieces of information may be displayed on the surface of the specific mounting area 370a. Alternatively, both pieces of information may be displayed in the specific mounting area 370a regardless of the front or back of the specific mounting area 370a. Further, the specific mounting area 370a is not limited to being surrounded by a plurality of vias 376. In short, as long as it is a hole penetrating from one surface of the electric circuit board to the other surface, a hole having any function may be provided in the specific mounting area. For example, instead of a via, a hole into which a through hole or an IC terminal is inserted may be opened in a specific mounting area to surround the specific mounting area. Further, the mounting location instruction information may be displayed so as to straddle one ground pattern and another ground pattern, and the specific mounting area may be set to include one partitioned area and another partitioned area. Good.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 65, in the electric circuit board 382 on which a group of the plurality of electric components 380 is mounted as the mounting component group 381, information on the mounting component group 381 is displayed as the mounting component group information 384, and the mounting component group The display mode of the information 384 is set to a mode imitating the outline of the mounting area of the mounting component group 381. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 65A, the electric circuit board 382 includes a plurality (six in this embodiment) of electric circuits on one surface (surface to be a mounting surface) of the electric circuit board 382. The components 380 are mounted in an inverted U-shape and mounted on the other surface (back surface) opposite to the mounting surface, as shown in FIG. 65 (b). And the mounting area instruction information 387 of the inverted U-shaped frame indicating the mounting area 388 of the mounting component group 381 surrounding the mounting position instruction information 386 (the outline of the mounting area 388). Are displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing) as part of the board configuration information. Further, on the back surface, the mounting component group information 384, which is a part of the board configuration information, is displayed at a position outside the mounting region instruction information 387, and between the mounting component group information 384 and the mounting region instruction information 387. A connection line 389 is drawn. The mounting component group information 384 includes a frame display 391 that imitates the mounting area instruction information 387 (the outline of the mounting area 388) of the mounting component group 381 by printing (for example, silk screen printing). In the display 391, information (part number and the like) regarding each electric component 380 constituting the mounting component group 381 is displayed as component information 392 by printing (for example, silk screen printing), and the relative postures between the component information 392 ( Vertical and horizontal orientations and arrangement directions) are set in accordance with the relative postures of the electrical components 380 of the mounting component group 381. By adopting the mounting component group information 384 having such a configuration, it is possible to quickly grasp where the information regarding the mounting component group 381 is displayed by collating the mounting area instruction information 387 and the frame display 391. it can. When a plurality of electrical components 380 are mounted in a dense state, the board configuration information relating to each electrical component 380 can be easily displayed without any trouble. Therefore, information displayed on the electric circuit board 382 can be easily viewed. In addition, since the relative postures of the component information 392 are set in accordance with the relative postures of the electric components 380 of the mounting component group 381, it is easy to determine which component information 392 is information about which electric component 380. I can grasp it.

  The shapes of the mounting area instruction information 387 (the outline of the mounting area 388) and the frame display 391 are not limited to the above-described inverted U shape, and may be set to any shape. For example, as shown in FIG. 65 (c), the electrical components 380 constituting the mounting component group 381 are arranged in a Y shape, and mounting area instruction information 387 (the outline of the mounting area 388) and frame display are arranged in accordance with this arrangement. 391 may be set to a Y-shaped frame. In addition, as shown in FIG. 65 (d), when the arrangement mode (Y-shaped arrangement mode) of the electrical components 380 and the mode (rectangular frame) of the mounting area instruction information 387 are different, the frame The display 391 may be set in a mode (Y shape) that matches the arrangement mode of the electrical components 380. In this way, compared with the case where the frame display 391 is displayed by imitating the outline of the mounting area 388, the area necessary for displaying the frame display 391 can be reduced, and the electric circuit board 382 can be suppressed. The limited space above can be used effectively. Further, the mounting component group information 384 may be displayed on the mounting surface of the electric circuit board 382 on which the electric component 380 is mounted.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 66, in the electric circuit board 397 in which a group of the plurality of electric components 395 is mounted as the mounting component group 396, information regarding the mounting component group 396 is displayed as the mounting component group information 399, and the mounting component group A display for associating the information 399 with the mounting area 403 of the mounting component group 396 is provided. More specifically, the electric circuit board 397 is composed of a plurality of (six in this embodiment, six in a vertical and horizontal direction) electric parts 395 on one surface (surface to be a mounting surface) of the electric circuit board 397. A plurality of mounting component groups 396 (in this embodiment, two sets of the first component group 396a and the second component group 396b) are mounted, and the other surface (back surface) opposite to the mounting surface is mounted on the substrate. As part of the configuration information, a rectangular mounting location instruction information 402 indicating the mounting location of each electrical component 395, and a rectangular frame indicating the mounting area 403 of each mounting component group 396 surrounding the mounting location instruction information 402 The mounting area instruction information 404 (first area instruction information 404a, second area instruction information 404b) is displayed by printing (for example, silk screen printing). In addition, a plurality of mounting component group information 399, which is a part of the board configuration information, is matched with the number of mounting component groups 396 (in the present embodiment, the first in the present embodiment) at locations outside the mounting area instruction information 404 on the back surface. Two pieces of component group information 399a and second component group information 399b) are displayed, and in each mounted component group information 399, information (such as a component number) regarding each electric component 395 constituting the mounted component group 396 is displayed as character information 405. And the relative postures (vertical and horizontal orientations and arrangement directions) of the character information 405 are set in accordance with the relative postures of the electrical components 395 in the mounting component group 396. .

  Further, in the mounting area 403 of each mounting component group 396, an edge portion (right edge portion in FIG. 66) facing the mounting component group information 399 side has component group identification information 408 assigned to the mounting component group 396 and A direction index (arrow) 409 indicating the direction of the mounted component group information 399 (specifically, the mounted component group information 399 displaying information related to the electrical component 395 in the mounted region 403) as viewed from the mounted region 403 is printed. (For example, silk screen printing). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 66, a mark that encloses the character “I” in a rectangular frame is assigned as the component group identification information 408 of the first component group 396a, and the character “B” is enclosed in a rectangular frame. The mark is assigned as the part group identification information 408 of the second part group 396b.

  The direction indicator 409 is displayed with the direction of the mounting component group information 399 and a distance indicator that displays the distance from the mounting area 403 of the mounting component group 396 to the mounting component group information 399. The direction of 399 is expressed by the direction of the arrow, and the separation distance to the mounting component group information 399 is expressed by the length of the arrow. Then, by setting the direction index 409 of the first component group 396a to be longer than the direction index 409 of the second component group 396b, the mounting region 403a and the mounted component group information 399 (first component group information 399) in the first component group 396a are set. 399a) is configured to express that the distance between the mounting region 403b and the mounting component group information 399 (second component group information 399b) in the second component group 396b is longer.

  Of the mounting component group information 399, the edge of the mounting component group 396 in which the relevant information is displayed in the mounting component group information 399 is displayed on the edge (left edge in FIG. 66) facing the mounting region 403 side. The identification information 412 having the same form as the component group identification information 408 and a mounting direction indicator (arrow) 413 indicating the direction of the mounting region 403 of the mounting component group 396 as viewed from the mounting component group information 399 are printed (for example, silk screen Displayed by printing). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 66, the identification information 412 of the first component group information 399a is a mark in which the character “I” is enclosed in a rectangular frame (the same mark as the component group identification information 408 of the first component group 396a). The identification information 412 of the second component group information 399b is a mark (the same mark as the component group identification information 408 of the second component group 396b) in which the character “B” is enclosed in a rectangular frame.

  Further, the mounting direction index 413 is displayed with a direction of the mounting area 403 of the mounting component group 396 and a distance indicator that displays a separation distance from the mounting component group information 399 to the mounting area 403 of the mounting component group 396. The direction of the mounting area 403 is expressed by the direction of the arrow, and the separation distance to the mounting area 403 is expressed by the length of the arrow. Then, by setting the mounting direction index 413 of the first component group information 399a to be longer than the mounting direction index 413 of the second component group information 399b, the mounting area 403 and the mounting component group information 399 (first part group 396a) 1 component group information 399a) is configured to express that the separation distance is longer than the separation distance between the mounting region 403 and the mounting component group information 399 (second component group information 399b) in the second component group 396b. Yes.

  If the component group identification information 408, the direction indicator 409, the identification information 412, and the mounting direction indicator 413 having such a configuration are displayed on the electric circuit board 397 together with the mounting component group information 399, information regarding the electric component 395 is mixed. By avoiding this, it can be made easy to visually recognize. Further, the display location of information related to the mounting component group 396 can be easily grasped without drawing a connection line between the mounting area 403 and the mounting component group information 399. Therefore, the limited space on the electric circuit board 397 can be used effectively. In addition, the display mode of the distance sign that expresses the direction indicator 409 and the mounting direction indicator 413 is not limited to being an arrow. In short, a distance indicator (direction and distance can be expressed) that can represent the direction of the mounting component group information 399, the direction of the mounting region 403, and the separation distance between the mounting region 403 and the mounting component group information 399. Any form may be used as long as it is a distance sign. For example, an illustration indicating the direction with a human hand may be adopted as a distance indicator, and the length of the separation distance may be expressed by the size of the illustration.

  The display mode of the parts group identification information 408 and the identification information 412 is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be set in any manner. For example, alphanumeric characters, hiragana or katakana may be displayed surrounded by a circle or a triangular frame. Furthermore, the display positions of the parts group identification information 408 and the identification information 412 may be displayed anywhere on the electric circuit board as long as they do not get in the way. For example, it may be displayed in a state of being in contact with the edge of the mounting component group information, or may be displayed inside (for example, the central portion) of the mounting component group information. Further, when the direction index 409 and the mounting direction index 413 are displayed by arrows, the middle of the lead line may be bent. For example, the lead wire may be bent once as shown in FIG. 67 (a), or may be bent a plurality of times as shown in FIG. 67 (b). In short, it may be bent appropriately so as not to overlap with the configuration on the electric circuit board. In addition, as shown in FIG. 67 (c), when the lead lines of the direction indicator 409 and the mounting direction indicator 413 intersect with other display lines on the electric circuit board, an x mark is added to the arrow. It is preferable to indicate that an intersection has occurred.

  By the way, in each motor employ | adopted by the said embodiment, you may enable it to adjust a position of the axial attachment position of a gear along the rotating shaft direction of a motor. For example, a panel drive motor (motor) 154 and a panel drive gear (drive gear) 155 provided in the lower accessory front unit 102 (see FIG. 12) will be described as an example. In the fourth embodiment, the panel drive motor 154 includes a sleeve-like shaft insertion convex portion 502 on one end surface of a cylindrical case 501, and the rotation shaft (output shaft) 154 a is inserted into the shaft insertion convex portion 502. A panel drive gear 155 is pivotally attached to the rotating shaft 154a. Then, the rotational driving force of the panel drive motor 154 is transmitted from the panel drive gear 155 to the rotating body (specifically, the rotating body (see FIG. 12) in which the slide transmission gear 156 and the slide engagement protrusion 157 are integrated). The rotating body is configured to rotate.

  Further, the surface of the panel drive gear 155 facing the case 501 side of the panel drive motor 154 has contact between the case 501 (specifically, the shaft insertion protrusion 502 provided in the case 501) and the panel drive gear 155. The recessed part 503 to avoid is formed. Further, on the surface of the panel drive gear 155 that faces away from the case 501, a bearing protrusion 504 into which the rotating shaft 154 a (specifically, the tip of the rotating shaft 154 a) is inserted protrudes, and the bearing The protruding portion 504 and the rotating shaft 154a are fixed by a fixing member 505 such as a set screw.

  If the panel drive gear 155 having such a configuration is employed, the contact between the case 501 and the panel drive gear 155 can be avoided by the shaft insertion convex portion 502 of the case 501 entering the concave portion 503 ( (See FIG. 69). Therefore, in order to avoid interference between the panel drive motor 154 and other components, the panel drive gear 155 is moved along the rotation axis 154a even when the panel drive motor 154 needs to be shifted to the panel drive gear 155 side. The panel drive motor 154 can be shifted, and the axial position of the panel drive gear 155 can be adjusted without delay. As a result, the panel drive gear 155 and the slide transmission gear 156 can set a sufficient meshing state without shifting in the axial direction, and the rotation of the rotating body (rotation of the slide transmission gear 156 and the slide engagement protrusion 157). There will be no hindrance. Further, in the operation of attaching the panel drive gear 155 to the rotation shaft 154a, it is not necessary to insert the fastening member 505 into a narrow space sandwiched between the panel drive gear 155 and the case 501. Therefore, there is no inconvenience that it is difficult to attach the fastening member 505 to the bearing protrusion 504 or the fastening tool does not reach the fastening member 505, and the shafting operation can be performed without delay.

  Further, since the rotating shaft 154a is inserted into the bearing protrusion 504, the axial attachment range between the rotating shaft 154a and the panel driving gear 155 can be extended over a dimension longer than the plate thickness of the panel driving gear 155. The panel drive gear 155 can be pivotally attached with sufficiently high mounting accuracy while suppressing the inclination with respect to the rotary shaft 154a.

  In addition, although the recessed part 503 of the said 4th Embodiment is dented and formed in the circular shape one size larger than the shaft insertion convex part 502, this invention is not limited to this. In short, as long as the contact between the drive gear and the motor case can be avoided, the recess of any form may be formed. Moreover, although the panel drive motor 154 and the panel drive gear 155 were mentioned as an example of the motor and drive gear in this invention, this invention is not limited to this. In short, the present invention may be applied to any motor and drive gear as long as it is a mechanism for rotating a rotating body provided in a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine. For example, the present invention may be applied to a motor and a drive gear provided for rotation of an accessory member arranged in the game area 5, or a motor and a drive provided for rotation of a rotating body in a ball dispensing mechanism. It may be applied to gears. Further, the object to which the driving force is transmitted by the motor and the driving gear of the present invention is not limited to the rotating body. The point is that the movable body may be operated in any manner as long as it is configured to operate by the driving force from the motor. Furthermore, the movable body to which the driving force is transmitted by the motor and the driving gear of the present invention includes an electric circuit board on which a light emitting member and the like are mounted, and board configuration information (specifically, an electric circuit) is provided on the back surface of the electric circuit board. You may display the board | substrate structure information regarding the structure of a board | substrate (refer FIGS. 51-67).

The projecting block 516 is fixed, and projecting portions (upper third projecting portion 518 on the upper side and lower projecting portion 518 on the game board 19 side with respect to the side edge accessory rotating body 182 are provided on both upper and lower sides of the third projecting block 516. 4th protrusion part 519) is provided, respectively.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 75, on the side closer to the winning ball flow path 56 (to the left in FIG. 75), the game board 19 is protruded from the upper accessory rotating body 162 and the side edge accessory rotating body 182. The protruding portion (fifth protruding portion 520) is provided. The configuration of the winning ball flow path 56 will be described in detail. The winning ball flow path 56 includes a base block 525 formed by overlapping a front panel 525a and a rear panel 525b having translucency in the front and rear directions. Provided in the central portion of the path 56, on both the left and right sides of the base block 525, a horizontally long flow path forming block (a first flow path forming block 526 on the left side and a second flow path forming block 527 on the right side). ). The base block 525 includes a first start ball passage 531 through which a game ball won at the first start winning opening 36 flows and a second start ball passage 532 through which a game ball won at the second start winning opening 37 flows. The first starting ball channel 531 is provided with a first starting port switch 46, and the second starting ball channel 532 is provided with a second starting port switch 47. Further, a magnetic sensor 223 is disposed in each of the starting ball channels 531 and 532 so that a change in magnetism can be detected, and a light emitting substrate 533 is disposed behind each of the starting ball channels 531 and 532, and the light emitting substrate. When light is emitted from a light-emitting source such as an LED mounted on 533, this light is transmitted through the base block 525 and irradiated to the front start winning unit 38 (see FIG. 2). It is comprised so that it may give.

  In the first flow path forming block 526, there is formed a general winning ball flow path 535 through which the game balls won in the general winning opening 42 flow down, and a light emitting substrate 536 and a radio wave sensor are disposed at the rear of the first flow path forming block 526. And 224. Then, when light is emitted from a light emitting source such as an LED mounted on the light emitting substrate 536, the light passes through the first flow path forming block 526 and is irradiated to the front general winning opening 42 (see FIG. 2). A light emitting decoration is applied to the winning opening 42. Furthermore, the 5th protrusion part 520 is protrudingly provided in the center part of the left-right direction of the 1st flow path formation block 526, The sensor storage space part 537 is formed in this 5th protrusion part 520, and the magnetic sensor 223 is attached from back.

Thus, a collection ball flow path 544 through which the game balls that have passed through the winning ball collection basket 183 flow down is defined. The recovery ball channel 544 is provided with a prize opening switch 225, and a magnetic sensor 223 is arranged on the side of the start winning ball channel 543 so that a change in magnetism can be detected. A light emitting substrate 545 is attached to the rear portion of the second flow path forming block 527, and when light is emitted from a light emitting source such as an LED mounted on the light emitting substrate 545, this light is transmitted to the second flow path forming block 527 and the flow path. The light passes through the road section panel 541 and is irradiated to the peripheral portion of the second start winning device 41 (see FIG. 2) in front, and the peripheral portion of the second start winning device 41 is illuminated. .

  In the control unit 54 of the fifth embodiment having the protrusions 513, 514, 518, 519, and 520 in this way, as shown in FIG. 70, there are three or more (five in the present embodiment) protrusions. 513, 514, 518, 519, and 520 are arranged in the vicinity of the four sides of the control unit 54 without being aligned on a straight line. 71 and 72, the projections 513, 514, 518, 519, and 520 are set so that the tip surfaces of the projections 513, 514, 518, 519, and 520 are aligned on the same plane. The length is set so as not to protrude from the same plane. Then, in the preparatory stage of the assembly work of the game board 6, the control unit 54 that is not attached to the game board 19 is laid and the protruding parts 513, 514, 518, 519, and 520 are set in a posture facing downward, In this posture, it is mounted on a mounting place such as a work table or a floor. Then, as shown in FIG. 76, the protrusions 513, 514, 518, 519, and 520 function as support legs of the control unit 54 to avoid contact between the accessory rotating bodies 162 and 182 and the mounting place. Therefore, inconvenience that the accessory rotating bodies 162 and 182 are carelessly damaged can be suppressed. Furthermore, it is not necessary to prepare a jig in order to avoid damage to the accessory rotating bodies 162 and 182.

  Further, since the magnetic sensor 223 is accommodated in the fifth protrusion 520 of the winning ball flow path 56, the fifth protrusion 520 that functions as a support leg can also function as a storage part of the magnetic sensor 223. Thereby, it is not necessary to secure the storage part of the magnetic sensor 223 separately from the fifth projecting part 520, and the limited space in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be used effectively.

  Further, when the control unit 54 is placed on the placement place with the protruding portions 513, 514, 518, 519, and 520 facing downward, as shown in FIG. 77 (a), the control device (game control device) 58, the production control device 59) and the control unit cover 551 covering the relay board unit 550 are positioned above the control unit 54 (the control unit 54 in the mounted state) (see FIG. 76). When the control unit cover 551 is removed, as shown in FIG. 77 (b), the game control device 58 and the effect control device 59 are exposed, and the protruding portion 513 with the control unit 54 between the control devices 58 and 59 is sandwiched. , 514, 518, 519, and 520, the wiring connector 553 arranged on the opposite side is exposed above the control unit. When the relay board unit 550 is opened to expose the internal relay board (not shown), the wiring connector (not shown) mounted on the relay board is also exposed above the control unit 54. Therefore, in the placed control unit 54, the wiring work for connecting the electrical wiring to the wiring connector is facilitated, and the production efficiency of the game board 6 can be improved.

  When the control unit 54 is mounted on the back surface of the game board 19, the first protrusion 513, the third protrusion 518, the fourth protrusion 519, and the fifth protrusion 520 are placed on the game board 19 as shown in FIG. It is located behind the center case 23 and the general winning opening 42 arranged at. Therefore, when a game board (for example, a game board made of transparent resin) 19 having translucency is adopted, the first protrusion 513, the third protrusion 518, the fourth protrusion 519, and the fifth protrusion 520 are used. Is covered by the center case 23 functioning as a projecting covering member or the general winning opening 42 and becomes difficult to see (or cannot be seen) from the player side. As a result, even if the tip surface of the projecting portions 513, 514, 518, 519, and 520 is scratched or soiled due to the control unit 54 being placed on the placement location, the player can see the tip surface. The disadvantage that the decorativeness of the game board 6 is impaired can be avoided. In addition, with respect to the second projecting portion 514, an opaque projecting covering member (for example, an opaque film) is formed at a position overlapping the second projecting portion 514 on the rear surface side of the game board 19 (the rear surface side where the control unit 54 is located). It is preferable that the second protruding portion 514 is covered with the protruding covering member. Furthermore, if the surface of the opaque film functioning as a projecting covering member is decorated to suggest the direction of flow of the game ball, it has not only the function of covering the second projecting portion 514 but also the function of decorating the game board 6. can do.

  Further, the protruding portion of the fifth embodiment may have a function of reflecting light. For example, in the modification of the third protruding block 516 shown in FIG. 79, the block base 556 that contacts the side edge unit panel 184 of the third protruding block 516 is formed of a translucent member such as a transparent resin. Of the third projecting portion 518 and the fourth projecting portion 519 projecting from the base portion 556, the side surface portion (right side surface portion in FIG. 79) facing the side edge accessory rotating body 182 side is subjected to metal plating surface treatment or lens cut treatment. Etc., and a reflection portion (reflection portion where light is reflected) 557 is provided. Further, the side edge unit panel 184 is formed of a translucent member, and the LED is provided on the side opposite to the third protruding block 516 with the side edge unit panel 184 interposed therebetween (in other words, behind the protruding portions 518 and 519). A light emission source 558 such as is arranged.

  When the light from the light source 558 passes through the side edge unit panel 184 and the block base 556 and is irradiated to the third protrusion 518 and the fourth protrusion 519, the light is reflected by the reflection part 557 of the third protrusion 518. The side edge accessory rotator 182 and the general winning opening 32 (see FIG. 3) of the center case 23 are illuminated, or the side edge accessory rotator 182 and the center are reflected by the reflecting portion 557 of the fourth protrusion 519. Illuminate the normal start gate 28 of the case 23, the special winning opening 31 (see FIG. 3), and the like. Thus, if the reflection part 557 is provided in the protrusion parts 518 and 519, the protrusion parts 518 and 519 function not only as a support leg of the control unit 54 but also as a decorative member for decorating the game board 6. Can improve the interest of the game. In addition, you may provide the reflection part 557 not only in the 3rd protrusion part 518 and the 4th protrusion part 519 which were illustrated but other protrusion parts 513,514,520. Then, for example, the light reflected by the reflecting portion 557 provided in the first protruding portion 513 is irradiated to the ball introduction path 79 (see FIG. 3) of the center case 23, or the reflecting portion 557 provided in the second protruding portion 514. Is applied to the upper part of the center case 23, or the light reflected by the reflection part 557 provided in the fifth projecting part 520 is applied to the general winning opening 42 and the start winning unit 38 (see FIG. 3). Or you may. Further, it may be configured such that the light reflected by each reflecting portion illuminates a game ball flowing down the game area 5.

  By the way, in the said 5th Embodiment, although the control unit 54 was illustrated as a decoration unit of this invention, this invention is not limited to this. For example, an accessory unit (upper accessory unit 103, side edge accessory unit 104, central accessory unit 101, etc.) that constitutes a part of the control unit 54 is provided as a decoration unit of the present invention, and the protrusion is provided. It may be configured such that the contact between the decorative member and the placement location is avoided when placed on the placement location as a support leg. At this time, it is preferable that three or more projecting portions are dispersed in one accessory unit so that the accessory unit is stably placed without rattling.

  Incidentally, the special prize opening solenoid 85 and the decorative opening / closing solenoid 95 (see FIG. 4) of the above embodiment are configured to release heat through the heat radiating plate 90 attached to the front, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the special prize opening solenoid 85 and the decorative opening / closing solenoid 95 of the sixth embodiment shown in FIGS. 80, 81, and 82 are configured to release heat outward through members located on both front and rear sides.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 80, in the center case 23 of the sixth embodiment, two electrical drive sources (a special prize opening solenoid 85 are provided behind the light emitting unit base 89a of the special prize light emitting unit 89. And an opening / closing drive unit 570 including a decoration opening / closing solenoid 95) is mounted, and the opening / closing drive unit 570 is configured to operate two movable members (a prize winning opening / closing member 84 and a decoration opening / closing member 94). . As shown in FIGS. 81 and 82, the opening / closing drive unit 570 has a large winning opening solenoid 85 and a decorative opening / closing solenoid 95 mounted side by side on the back side of the metal heat sink 90, and the rear parts of the solenoids 85, 95 are mounted. Are mounted with a box-shaped drive unit cover (cover member) 571 made of a transparent resin and opened on the front side, and a metal heat dissipating member 572 for releasing heat generated from the solenoids 85 and 95 to the outside. Solenoids 85 and 95 are covered from the rear, and a part of the heat radiating member 572 protrudes rearward from a heat radiating window 571a provided at the rear of the drive unit cover 571.

  The heat dissipating member 572 is a heat dissipating component mounted separately from the heat dissipating plate 90, and includes a heat dissipating base portion 574 that is covered with the drive unit cover 571 while being connected to the solenoids 85 and 95. A flat heat radiation exposed portion 575 is fixed to a portion of the portion 574 facing the heat radiation window portion 571a, and is disposed outside (rearward) the drive unit cover 571. The heat dissipating base portion 574 is a member formed by bending a metal plate, and includes a rectangular base main body 574a. An upper heat dissipating piece 574b extends forward from the upper side portion of the base main body 574a. Side heat radiation pieces 574c extend forward from the left and right side portions of 574a. The base body 574a is in close contact with the rear portions of the solenoids 85 and 95 via the heat conductive sheet 577, and the upper heat radiating piece 574b is in close contact with the upper portion of the prize winning solenoid 85 via the heat conductive sheet 578. Solenoids 85 and 95 are arranged between the side heat radiation pieces 574c. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 81 (d), the base body 574a is bent toward the rear heat radiation exposed portion 575 to form a bent portion 574d, and the bent portion 574d faces the heat radiating window portion 571a. The bent portion 574d is separated from the rear portions of the solenoids 85 and 95, and a space portion 574e having both upper and lower sides opened is formed between the bent portion 574d and the solenoids 85 and 95. Therefore, the heat generated from the solenoids 85 and 95 passes through the space portion 574e so as to easily escape from the upper opening and the lower opening of the space portion 574e. Further, in the side heat dissipating pieces 574c on both the left and right sides, the side heat dissipating pieces 574c located on the side of the winning prize solenoid 85 (right side in FIG. 82) are located on the decoration opening / closing solenoid 95 side (left side in FIG. 82). It is set larger than the side heat radiation piece 574c. This is because the large winning opening solenoid 85 tends to generate heat more easily than the decorative opening / closing solenoid 95 due to the repeated opening / closing operation of the large winning opening 31, so that the large winning opening solenoid 85 is more easily radiated than the decorative opening / closing solenoid 95. Because. For the same reason, the upper heat dissipating piece 574a is in close contact with only the big prize opening solenoid 85 and is not in close contact with the decorative opening / closing solenoid 95.

  The heat radiation exposed portion 575 is a metal plate that is slightly larger than the base body 574a of the heat radiation base portion 574 and the heat radiation window portion 571a of the drive unit cover 571, and extends along the outer surface of the rear portion of the drive unit cover 571. ing. And it fixes to the bending part 574d which faces the thermal radiation window part 571a among the thermal radiation base parts 574 by the fixing member 580 (refer FIG.81 (c)), such as a screw, so that attachment or detachment is possible. A heat conductive sheet 581 (see FIG. 81D) is interposed between the bent portion 574d and the heat radiation exposed portion 575. Furthermore, contact pieces 575a that contact the rear part of the drive unit cover 571 are respectively provided on both left and right edges of the heat radiation exposure part 575 so as to project toward the front drive unit cover 571, and the entire heat radiation exposure part 575 is driven. It is configured so as to avoid the inconvenience that the transparent resin drive unit cover 571 is melted by the heat that is transmitted from the solenoids 85 and 95 to the heat radiation exposed portion 575 due to the close contact with the unit cover 571.

  A rear opening 571b is opened below the heat radiating window 571a in the rear part of the drive unit cover 571, and an exposure opening 575b is opened in a position facing the rear opening 571b in the heat radiating exposed part 575. Heat in the 571 (specifically, heated air) can flow out to the rear of the opening / closing drive unit 570 through the rear opening 571b and the exposure opening 575b. Further, three lower openings 571c are opened at the lower part of the drive unit cover 571, and the heat in the drive unit cover 571 (specifically, heated air) passes through the lower opening 571c and below the opening / closing drive unit 570. It is configured to be able to flow into Further, a side opening 571d is opened on one side of the drive unit cover 571 (the right side shown in FIG. 81 (b)), and the side protruding piece 583 of the heat radiating plate 90 is connected to the opening / closing drive unit 570 from the side opening 571d. The heat around the side protruding piece 583 (specifically, the heated air) can flow out to the side of the opening / closing drive unit 570 through the side opening 571d. ing. Further, the rear opening 571b and one lower opening 571c are provided with reinforcing ribs 584 for suppressing the bending of the opening edge. The reinforcing rib 584 provided in the rear opening 571b can be fitted into the rear opening 571b of the heat radiating exposed portion 575, and the heat radiating exposed portion 575 is driven to radiate heat by fitting the reinforcing rib 584 and the rear opening 571b. You may comprise so that it may be positioned with respect to the unit cover 571. FIG. Then, a laterally streaky uneven portion 585 is formed inside the other side portion of the drive unit cover 571 (inside the left side portion shown in FIG. 82), and the other side of the drive unit cover 571 (in other words, the center case 23). When the opening / closing drive unit 570 is viewed from the center side), the concave / convex portion 585 obstructs the solenoids 85 and 95 so that it is difficult to visually recognize them.

  In the opening / closing drive unit 570 having such a configuration, the solenoids 85 and 95 are covered with the drive unit cover 571, and the heat radiation exposed portion 575 is disposed outside the drive unit cover 571 through the heat radiation window portion 571a. Even if the actor tries to reach the solenoids 85 and 95 with the unauthorized member, the drive unit cover 571 can prevent the unauthorized member from reaching, and unauthorized operation with respect to the solenoids 85 and 95 can be prevented. Moreover, the heat generated from the solenoids 85 and 95 is conducted from the heat conductive sheets 577 and 578 to the heat radiating base portion 574, reaches the bent portion 574d and the heat conductive sheet 581 through the heat radiating window portion 571a, and is further exposed to heat. It is possible to release (heat release) through the portion 575 to the outside of the opening / closing drive unit 570 without stagnation. Further, since the heat radiation exposed portion 575 is a flat plate extending along the outer surface of the drive unit cover 571, it is not necessary to secure a wide space for the arrangement of the heat radiation exposed portion 575, and the periphery of the game board 6 is limited. Space can be used effectively.

  Further, since the heat radiation exposed portion 575 is detachable from the heat radiation base portion 574, the drive unit cover 571 and the heat radiation exposed portion 575 are in the way of each other during assembly work or disassembly work of the opening / closing drive unit 570. As a result, the inconvenience that the assembling work and the disassembling work of the opening / closing drive unit 570 are delayed can be suppressed. Also, since the heat of the big prize opening solenoid 85 that opens and closes the big prize opening / closing member 84 can be released by the heat radiating member 572, the big prize opening solenoid 85 that is likely to be in a high temperature state due to repeated opening / closing operations of the big prize opening 31. And the inconvenience that the prize winning solenoid 85 fails due to heat can be suppressed.

  In the sixth embodiment, the special prize opening solenoid 85 and the decoration opening / closing solenoid 95 are exemplified as the electric drive sources to be radiated and prevented from being tampered with. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In short, the cover member and the heat dissipating member of the present invention may be applied to any form of electric drive source as long as it is a target for suppressing failure due to heat generation and suppressing unauthorized operation. For example, the cover member and the heat dissipation member of the present invention may be applied to a motor that is a kind of electrical drive source. In the sixth embodiment, the prize winning solenoid 85 (solenoid for operating the prize winning opening / closing member 84) 85 is given as an example of the electric drive source, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the cover member and the heat radiating member of the present invention may be applied to a solenoid that is provided with an opening / closing member for opening / closing a winning opening other than the big winning opening and that operates the opening / closing member.

  By the way, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the above embodiment may be devised so as not to impair the decoration effect (aesthetic appearance) of the configuration for performing the light emission decoration. For example, the light emitting decoration portion 601 of the seventh embodiment shown in FIG. 83 is basically the same as the light emission decoration portion 64 ′ (see FIG. 51) of the third embodiment, but a light emitting member (light emission source) 293 is provided. The configuration of the decorative member 603 covered from the player side is different. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 83, the decorative member 603 in the seventh embodiment is a rear light emitting member 293 side (light emitting decorative substrate 292 side) from the outer peripheral edge of the translucent panel-shaped decorative main body 603a. A first decorative region 606 in which light transmission is restricted by applying a surface treatment to the back surface of the decorative main body 603a (the back surface facing the light emitting member 293). The second decoration area 607 that transmits light more easily than the first decoration area 606 is provided in a dispersed state (mixed state).

  The first decoration region 606 is a metal thin film layer that transmits light less than the decoration main body 603a (specifically, a metal thin film layer that does not transmit light) by performing a process such as vapor deposition or sputtering on the back surface of the decoration main body 603a. Formed and configured. Furthermore, it is set in a range slightly smaller than the back surface of the decoration body 603a, and the outer peripheral edge of the first decoration region 606 is located away from the edge of the back surface of the decoration body 603a toward the center side of the decoration body 603a. Yes. The second decorative region 607 is formed by removing a plurality of portions of the metal thin film layer applied to the back surface of the decoration main body 603a (in FIG. 83 (c), removing a plurality of dispersed fine dotted points). The first decorative region 606 is set to transmit light more easily than the first decorative region 606, and is dispersed throughout the first decorative region 606. Even if the second decorative region 607 is set by intentionally avoiding the formation of the metal thin film layer by intentionally deciding the size and position by performing masking at the time of forming the metal thin film layer on the decoration main body 603a. Good. And in the 2nd decoration area | region 607, you may set so that the arrangement density of the said 2nd decoration area | region 607 may become high gradually as it goes to the outer peripheral side from the center side of the decoration main body 603a, or it may become low gradually. It may be set. If such a configuration is set, the degree of light transmission can be made different between the central side and the outer peripheral side of the decoration body 603a, and the decoration on the center side of the decoration body 603a is emphasized or the decoration on the outer periphery side is emphasized. Can be.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 83 (b), of the edges of the decorative member 603, the back edge of the decorative body 603a and the inner peripheral surface of the protruding edge 603b (the peripheral surface facing the center side of the decorative member 603) ), A third decorative region 608 is set, and a metal thin film layer is formed by performing processing such as vapor deposition and sputtering on the third decorative region 608. The third decoration region 608 restricts (blocks) light emitted from the light emitting member 293 from being emitted to the outside of the decoration member 603 (specifically, both the upper and lower sides and the left and right sides). .

  When the decorative member 603 includes the first decorative region 606 and the second decorative region 607 having such a configuration, the light emitting decorative substrate 292 and the light emitting member 293 are hidden by the first decorative region 606 when the light emitting member 293 is not emitting light. While it can be made difficult for the player to see, when the light emitting member 293 emits light, the light from the light emitting member 293 can be transmitted to the second decorative region 607 and irradiated to the front player side without any trouble (FIG. 83). (See (d)). Therefore, it is possible to realize the light emitting decoration portion 601 that is less likely to lose the decorative effect regardless of whether or not the light emitting member 293 emits light, and thus the pachinko gaming machine 1 that is less likely to lose the decorative effect.
