A body frame (eg, body frame 2 etc.);
A front door (e.g., a front frame 3) that is rotatable with respect to the main body frame;
A box-shaped speaker unit (for example, the speaker unit 10 or the like) provided with a speaker (for example, the speaker 10c or the like),
The front door is provided with a dish portion (for example, a lower dish 18) that can store game media,
The speaker unit is arranged on one side of the dish part, and is arranged so that a part (for example, the upper left part 10ea) protrudes above the dish part,
An gaming machine, wherein an open space is formed on the other side of the dish portion.

  According to such a configuration, even a speaker unit having a relatively large volume does not hinder the player's access to the dish part, and the dish part can be accessed through the open space formed on the other side of the dish part. Since the speaker unit can be arranged as possible, the speaker device can be efficiently laid out while securing the arrangement space of the speaker unit.

<Explanation of operation unit operation>
Here, the operation of the operation unit 9 employed in the present embodiment will be described.

  First, in the normal gaming state, each LED 2185 of the illumination board 2183 of the operation unit 9 does not emit light, and the louver 2117 of the movable effect part also lays all the wing plates 2119 in a substantially horizontal state (closed state). The open region 2145 is not formed between adjacent slats 2119 (see FIGS. 12A, 13A, 14A, and 15A).

  During the game, when any effect display state is reached, for example, each LED 2185 of the lighting board 2183 is emitted by the sub control board based on a command from the main control board, and is closed (first specific position). The character portion of “PUSH” can be highlighted and displayed in the direction from the character “PUSH” (translucent region) applied to each wing plate 2119 to the pressing portion 2003. As a result, the player can be prompted to press the operation member 2000.

  When the player depresses the pressing portion 2003 of the operation member 2000, the operation member 2000 includes a first position (position before pressing) 2009 and a second position (position after pressing) 2011 within the support member (unit base) 2057. The displacement in the vertical direction is repeated (see FIG. 9). At this time, the operation member 2000 is pushed downward (second position 2011) in the vertical direction against the elasticity of the elastic member (coil spring) 2025 by the player's pressing operation. When the pressing operation on the pressing unit 2003 by the player is canceled, the operation member 2000 is returned to the first position 2009 by the elasticity of the elastic member (coil spring) 2025.

  Next, when a predetermined effect display state is obtained by pressing the operation member 2000, an energization signal is sent to the solenoid 2153 of the displacement mechanism (louver drive unit) 2147 by the sub control board based on a command from the main control board, for example. Then, the plunger 2155 and the plunger cover 2157 move linearly in the direction indicated by the arrow L1 (see FIGS. 12B, 13B, 14B, and 15B). The linear movement of the plunger 2155 and the plunger cover 2157 in the L1 direction causes the crank 2163 to move in the arrow L1 direction, and the movement of the crank 2163 in the arrow L1 direction causes the link member 2125 to move horizontally in the arrow L2 direction ( (Refer FIG.12 (b), FIG.13 (b), FIG.14 (b) and FIG.15 (b)).

  That is, when the plunger 2155 and the plunger cover 2157 move in the direction of the arrow L1, the first protruding piece 2167 rotates in the clockwise direction around the shaft portion 2109, and at the same time, the second protruding piece 2173 also rotates in the clockwise direction. Because of the movement, the link member 2125 whose projection is connected to the third connection hole 2175 moves horizontally in the direction of the arrow L2 (FIGS. 12B, 13B, 14B and (Refer FIG.15 (b)).

  By this operation, each wing plate 2119 in which the locking portion 2123 is locked in the locking groove 2141 of the second surface portion 2139 of the link member 2125 becomes the shaft support region portion 2097 of the effect component holding member (louver base) 2095. It rotates around a rotating shaft portion 2121 that is pivotally supported by the shaft 2121 to be in an upright state (a state after the displacement), and an open region 2145 is formed between adjacent blades 2119 (FIG. 12 ( b), FIG. 13 (b), FIG. 14 (b) and FIG. 15 (b)).

  Therefore, it becomes possible to emit light from the LED 2185 of the illumination board 2183 positioned below through the plurality of open regions 2145 toward the pressing portion 2003 (see FIGS. 12B and 13B). .

  When the energization of the solenoid 2153 is released, the plunger 2155 moves linearly in the arrow L3 direction by the restoring force of the spring 2156, and the crank 2163 moves in the L3 direction as well. Then, the link member 2125 moves horizontally in the direction of the arrow L4, and each wing plate 2119 rotates around the rotation shaft portion 2121 to fall back to the pre-displacement state (closed state), and between the adjacent wing plates 2119 It is closed (see FIG. 12 (a), FIG. 13 (a), FIG. 14 (a) and FIG. 15 (a)). The light emission of the LED 2185 on the lighting board 2183 may be terminated at the same time as or after the plunger 2155 moves in the direction of the arrow L3 when the solenoid 2153 is energized. The light emission of the LED 2185 may be terminated before the movement of. In addition, the light emission of the LED 2185 of the lighting board 2183 may be continuously lit for a predetermined time, or may be flashed at a constant interval or at an indefinite interval. The specification of the gaming machine incorporating the present invention Depending on the situation. In addition to the purpose of prompting the pressing operation of the operation member 2000, each wing plate 2119 can be configured to be displaced (opening / closing), and is within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, a restricting member that restricts the movement of the plunger 2155 may be provided to be displaceable between a restricting position and a non-regulating position. That is, although not shown, for example, by providing a regulating member, each blade 2119 is closed as shown in FIG. 13 (a), rather than the state shown in FIG. 13 (a) where each blade 2119 is erected. It is also possible to regulate the open state at a position close to the state. Further, it is not necessary to cause the LED 2185 of the electric decoration board 2183 to emit light while each wing plate 2119 is opened and closed, and it is possible to cope with the specification of the gaming machine incorporating the present invention. In addition, it is possible to provide a plurality of sets of displacement operating mechanisms composed of the displacement mechanism (louver drive unit) consisting of a solenoid, a plunger, a plunger cover, and a crank and a link member, each of which can be configured to perform a separate operation. is there. And the latching | locking part of a predetermined blade is each latched and comprised in the latching groove of the 2nd surface part of each link member. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide an effect that only predetermined blades are opened / closed and the other blades are closed and not operated. In addition, it is possible to arrange the adjacent slats so as not to overlap each other and to allow each slat to rotate 180 degrees or 360 degrees. At that time, different designs can be applied to the front and back of the slats, and it is possible to give effects by different design displays before and after rotation.

  According to the present embodiment, the vibration generated by the collision of the lower end of the operation member 2000 due to the displacement operation of the operation member 2000 from the first position 2009 to the second position 2011 by the player is absorbed by the vibration absorbing member 2083. It is possible to prevent the vibration from being exerted on the effect parts (louver 2117, electrical decoration board 2183) 2113 for executing the effect. Further, since the vibration generated by the displacement operation from the first position 2009 to the second position 2011 with respect to the operation member 2000 is absorbed, it is possible to suppress damage to the operation member 2000 itself.

  In the present embodiment, the operation member 2000 is provided with a vibration motor 2031, and the operation member 2000 is forcibly vibrated when executing a predetermined effect, thereby improving the interest of the player. According to the present embodiment, even when such an effect by the vibration motor 2031 is employed, the effect component holding member (louver 2117 base) 2095 provided with the effect component 2113 such as the electric decoration board 2183 is prevented from transmitting vibration. Since the support member 2057 is provided via the member 2105, the vibration of the vibration motor 2031 from the operation member 2000 can be prevented from reaching the effect part.

  The elastic member 2093 has a structure that absorbs vibration by being pressed when the button base 2013 of the operation member 2000 comes into contact with the shock absorbing cover 2089. Therefore, the elastic member is stressed only at the time of pressing, but is not so much at other times. Therefore, the stress on the elastic member is reduced, and the durability of the elastic member is improved.

  The vibration generated by the player's operation on the operation member 2000 is absorbed by the vibration absorbing member 2087 and the vibration transmission preventing member (anti-vibration bushing) 2105 further prevents the vibration from being transmitted. It is possible to prevent the production parts (louver 2117, electrical decoration board 2183) 2113 from being subjected to the vibration.

  Therefore, the vibration transmission preventing member (anti-vibration bushing) 2255 is fitted and disposed on the three protrusions 2257 protruding from the lower end surface of the support member (unit base) 2241, and the base member (holder) 2259 is disposed. The fitting locking piece 2265 is fitted into the second fitting locking groove 2257 provided on the outer periphery of the vibration transmission preventing member (vibration-proof bushing) 2255 and locked. Accordingly, the base member (holder) 2259 is integrally connected to the support member (unit base) 2241 via the vibration transmission preventing member (vibration-proof bushing) 2255.

  The vibration means 2269 has a predetermined vibration motor 2273 attached and fixed to the back surface of a base member (holder) 2259 via a motor cover 2275, and the lower end of the operation member 2000 (the lower end of the button base 2209) is the base member. (Holder) It is possible to apply vibration to the operation member 2000 when it comes into contact with the contact area 2267 on the surface of 2259.

  According to this embodiment, the player depresses the operation member 2000, the operation member 2000 reaches the second position, and the lower end of the operation member 2000 (the lower end of the button base 2209) is the pedestal member (holder) 2259. When coming into contact with the contact area 2267 on the surface, vibration from the vibration motor 2273 is applied to the operation member 2000, and an effect by vibration can be executed for the player (see FIG. 24B). Further, even if vibration is applied to the operation member 2000, the support member (unit base) 2241 and the base member (holder) 2259 are vibration transmission preventing members (anti-vibration bushing) by the fitting locking pieces 2265 of the base member 2259. The other part of the support member (unit base) 2241 and the base member (holder) 2259 are not in contact with each other only by being connected via the 2255 (a gap G1 is formed as shown in FIGS. 19 and 24). Therefore, vibration transmission to the support member (unit base) 2241 is prevented, and the possibility of adverse effects on the display device 2281 and the movable effect component 2291 can be minimized.

  In the operation member 2000, predetermined production parts (display device 2281, movable production part 2291, drive means 2307) that are unitized are held by the support member (unit base) 2241 via the mechanism base 2285. It is housed in a substantially suspended form.

  In the present embodiment, the other support plate (the plate on which the gear group is not provided) 2309 in the drive means (shutter drive mechanism) 2307 is provided with a press detection sensor 2277 (FIGS. 22, 24, and 24). (See FIG. 27). That is, the press detection sensor 2277 can be assumed to be a photosensor arranged with the detection region 2280 facing the inner surface of the first cylinder portion 2211 of the button base 2209 constituting the operation member 2000. Therefore, when the operation member 2000 is displaced between the first position (position before pressing) 2009 and the second position (position after pressing) 2011, the detection piece 2279 provided on the operation member 2000 side is provided with the shutter drive mechanism 2307. The displacement movement of the operation member 2000 is detected by moving in and out of the detection region 2280 of the press detection sensor 2277 provided on the side. In the present embodiment, the state where the detection piece 2279 is detected by the press detection sensor 2277 (the state where the detection piece 2279 is positioned in the detection region 2280) is when the operation member 2000 is not operated (FIG. 24 ( a) when the operation member 2000 is operated (a state in which the detection piece 2279 is not included in the detection region 2280). 24 (b) during non-pressing operation).

  In this embodiment, the display device (LCD) 2281 is formed in a rectangular shape having a size that can be accommodated in the first cylindrical portion 2211 of the button base 2209 constituting the operation member 2000. It has a display area 2283 that is arranged on the back side of the pressing portion (first portion) 2199 of the member 2000 and can display a predetermined effect image toward the pressing portion (first portion) 2199 side. The liquid crystal drive substrate 2287, the LCD bracket 2289, and the display device (LCD) 2281 are displayed in this order on the surface side of the mechanism base 2285 that is detachably fixed to the flange portion 2245 at the upper end of the support member (unit base) 2241. A display area 2283 of a device (LCD) 2281 is arranged toward the pressing portion 2199. The display device (LCD) 2281 of the present embodiment is not limited to the case where the movable effect component (shutter) 2291 is in the post-displacement position (open position), but is located in the pre-displacement position (closed position). Even in this case, it is possible to display a predetermined image in the display area 2283.

  The movable effect component 2291 includes a first shutter portion 2293 and a second shutter portion 2295. When the display region 2283 is viewed from the pressing portion (first portion) 2199 side, the display region 2283 is difficult to view. The driving means 2307 can be opened and closed so as to be displaceable between a pre-displacement position (closed position) and a post-displacement position (open position) that are easily visible.

  Since the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 are formed symmetrically, only the first shutter portion 2293 will be described here. The first shutter portion 2293 is formed with a shaft fitting portion 2299 for fitting the rotation shaft 2297 therein, an inner member 2301 provided integrally with the shaft fitting portion 2299, and a curved shape. The outer member 2303 which is fixed to the end edge with a screw is formed in a substantially C shape. At least the outer member 2303 is formed in such a size as to close the opening area of the LCD cover 2229 when positioned at the pre-displacement position (closed position).

  In addition, the movable effect component (shutter) 2291 of the present embodiment has a translucent region 2305 having translucency in a predetermined region. Note that the movable effect component (shutter) 2291 is plated and deposited only on the surface and side surfaces, and the light-transmitting region 2305 is formed by removing the plating only on a predetermined region of the surface. The portion to be plated (plated vapor deposition portion) is not limited to this embodiment, and may be applied to the back surface of the movable effect component (shutter) 2291. Further, the translucent region may not be formed by plating all of the movable effect component (shutter) 2291. It should be noted that the number of movable effect parts (shutters) 2291 provided is not particularly limited and can be appropriately changed according to the specifications. The shape of the movable effect component (shutter) 2291 is also arbitrary. Furthermore, the decoration can be arbitrarily applied as necessary. Also, a plurality of drive mechanisms can be provided, and each movable effect component (shutter) 2291 can be configured to be individually operable, and the design can be changed within the scope of the present invention.

  Although not limited in particular, for example, when the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 are closed (pre-displacement position), the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2293 When the character “PUSH” is formed by the translucent region 2305 applied to the shutter portion 2295, the light emission from the display device (LCD) 2281 is pressed from the character portion “PUSH”. It will be irradiated toward the part 2199 direction. Thus, since light is emitted from the character portion of “PUSH”, the player can be urged to press the operation member 2000 by highlighting the character portion of “PUSH” and displaying the light emission display ( (See FIG. 23). Note that the character portion of “PUSH” that is the light-transmitting region 2305 can be provided only in one of the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295. In addition, the arrangement state of the first shutter unit 2293 and the second shutter unit 2295, that is, the opening and closing direction, for example, the first shutter unit 2293 and the second shutter unit 2295 from the player side toward the gaming machine side. It is also possible to provide the first shutter portion 2293 with a character portion “PUSH” that is a light-transmitting region 2305.

  The display device (LCD) 2281 can display a predetermined image in the display area 2283 even when the movable effect component (shutter) 2291 is located at the position before displacement (closed position). Therefore, when the movable effect component 2291 is located at the pre-displacement position, a predetermined image is displayed in the display region 2283, so that the translucent region provided in the movable effect component (shutter) 2291 is provided. 2305 is displayed by light emission. The movable effect component 2291 has a translucent region 2305, and even when the movable effect component 2291 is located at a pre-displacement position where the display device 2281 is difficult to see, the display device on the back side Since the light from 2281 can be transmitted, the effect from the display means can be reflected and the effect of the effect is improved.

  The drive means (shutter drive mechanism) 2307 moves the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295, which are the movable effect parts 2291, from the pre-displacement position (closed position) or the post-displacement position (open). In the present embodiment, for example, in the present embodiment, on the back side of the mechanism base 2285 that is detachably fixed to the flange 2245 at the upper end of the support member (unit base) 2241 It is arranged.

  The driving means (shutter driving mechanism) 2307 includes a pair of support plates 2309 and 2309 arranged to face each other at a predetermined interval in the front-rear direction, and a bottom plate portion 2311 that holds the pair of support plates 2309 and 2309 at a predetermined interval. The shutter drive motor 2312 is disposed on the inner surface side of the bottom plate portion 2311, and the motor shaft 2315 provided in the shutter drive motor 2312 is provided on one support plate 2309 so as to protrude.

  A connecting gear 2317 is provided at the projecting end of the motor shaft 2315, and the rotation shaft 2297 and the second shutter portion in the first shutter portion 2293 are positioned above the position where the connecting gear 2317 is disposed on the support plate 2309. The rotation shaft 2297 of 2295 is arranged in parallel across the pair of opposing support plates 2309 and 2309 so as to be able to rotate in the left-right direction, and on one support plate 2309 side where the connecting gear 2317 is provided. A rotating operation gear 2321 is provided at one end of the protruding rotating shaft 2297. The two rotary operation gears 2321 are meshed with each other. Further, in this embodiment, the first shutter unit 2293 and the second shutter unit 2295 are rotated so as to be displaced to the pre-displacement position (closed position) or the post-displacement position (open position). Two rotating shafts 2297 that operate are horizontally extended on opposite sides of the bottom plate portion 2311 in the vertical direction across the opposing surface portions of a pair of support plates 2309 and 2309 that are integrally raised from both ends of the bottom plate portion 2311. For example, it is assumed that a twisting force is applied to the rotating shaft 2297 by opening and closing the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 because the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 are opened and closed. However, it has a unit form which is not easily affected and is excellent in strength.

  An intermediate gear 2323 that is provided between the connection gear 2317 and the rotation operation gear 2321 and transmits the rotation operation from the shutter drive motor 2312 from the connection gear 2317 to the rotation operation gear 2321 is connected to the connection gear 2317. It is provided so as to protrude toward the one support plate 2309 provided with the rotation gear.

  In the present embodiment, a detection mechanism 2325 that detects opening and closing operations of the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 is provided (see FIG. 26). For example, one embodiment thereof will be described with reference to the drawings. In a state where the first pre-displacement position (closed position) is positioned, the outer surface of the shaft fitting portion 2299 of the first shutter portion 2293 is vertically aligned. An open / close detection sensor (photo sensor) is provided on the bottom plate portion 2311 below the detection piece 2327 so that the detection piece 2327 projecting downward is provided, and the detection piece 2327 in that state is positioned in the detection region 2331. 2329 (see FIG. 26A). Therefore, when the detection piece 2327 is located in the detection region 2331 of the open / close detection sensor 2329, the first shutter 2293 and the second shutter 2295 are in the pre-displacement position (closed position). When the first shutter unit 2293 and the second shutter unit 2295 are displaced to the post-displacement position (open position), it is detected that the first shutter unit 2293 is rotated. Since the detection piece 2327 rotates and moves out of the detection region 2331 of the open / close detection sensor 2329, it is detected that the first shutter 2293 and the second shutter 2295 are displaced to the post-displacement position (open state position). (See FIG. 26 (b)).

  According to the present embodiment, when the display area 2283 of the display device 2281 is visually recognized from the pressing portion (first portion) 2199 side of the operation member 2000, the display area 2283 is difficult to visually recognize, and the position is easily visible. Since the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 that can be displaced to the post-displacement position are provided, the display device 2281 disposed on the back side of each of the shutter portions according to the displaced position is provided. It looks different, and it is possible to perform various and innovative effects. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the effect of playing the game and improve the interest of the game. In the operation member 2000, a touch sensor may be provided for each region corresponding to the shutter unit, and the shutter unit corresponding to the region detected by the touch sensor may be in an open state or a closed state.

<Explanation of operation unit operation>
Here, the operation of the operation unit 9 employed in the present embodiment will be described.

  First, in the normal gaming state, the display device (LCD) 2281 of the operation unit 9 does not emit light, and the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 of the movable effect component 2291 are also in the pre-displacement position (closed). The open area is not formed between the shutters (see FIGS. 19, 25 (b), and 26 (a)).

  During a game, when a predetermined production execution state is reached, for example, the display device (LCD) 2281 is lit and displayed by the liquid crystal drive substrate 2287 based on a command from the main control board, and is in a closed state (position before displacement). The character portion of “PUSH” is highlighted in the direction of the pressing portion 2199 from the characters “PUSH” (translucent region 2305) applied to the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295. Can be made. As a result, the player can be prompted (prompted) to press the operation member 2000 (see FIG. 23).

  By the pressing operation of the player on the operation member 2000, the operation member 2000 is pushed down in the vertical direction (second position) against the elasticity of the elastic member (coil spring) (FIG. 24B). When the pressing operation on the pressing portion 2199 by the player is canceled, the operation member 2000 is returned to the first position by the elasticity of the elastic member (coil spring) (FIG. 24A). Further, when the operation member 2000 is displaced to the second position, the lower end of the operation member 2000 comes into contact with the contact area 2267 of the base member (holder) 2259 and is disposed on the back side of the base member (holder) 2259. The vibration from the vibration motor 2273 of the vibration means 2269 is transmitted to the operation member 2000, and an effect by the vibration is given to the player (FIG. 24B).

  Next, when a predetermined effect execution state is obtained by pressing the operation member 2000, an energization signal is sent to the shutter drive motor 2312 of the shutter drive mechanism by the liquid crystal drive board 2287 based on a command from the main control board, for example. Then, the connecting gear 2317 is rotated in a predetermined direction. By the rotation operation of the connecting gear 2317, the rotation operation is transmitted to the rotation gears provided in the first shutter unit 2293 and the second shutter unit 2295 via the intermediate gear 2323, respectively. 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 are displaced from the pre-displacement position (closed position, see FIG. 19) to the post-displacement position (open state position, see FIG. 20).

  Accordingly, when the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 are positioned at the post-displacement position (open state position), the display device (LCD) 2281 positioned below the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 can be visually recognized. Light emitted from the device (LCD) 2281 can be emitted toward the pressing portion 2199 (FIGS. 20, 25A, and 26B). Further, the display device (LCD) 2281 can provide various effects by a character or the like instead of a simple light emission effect, thereby improving the interest of the player.

  Then, after the predetermined effect execution state is finished, when an instruction to rotate in the reverse direction is given to the shutter drive motor 2312, the connecting gear 2317 starts rotating in the reverse direction, and the intermediate gear that has received the rotation operation. The rotation operation in the reverse direction is transmitted to each rotation gear by 2323. As a result, the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 return to the pre-displacement position (closed position) and cover the lower display device (LCD) 2281. Further, the image display by the LCD, the vibration by the vibration means, and the shutter opening / closing drive may be performed simultaneously at a predetermined timing, or any one or two may be selected and various modes may be performed. You may make it produce.

<Other embodiment 1>
The movable effect component (shutter) 2291 and the display device (LCD) 2281 of this embodiment can be configured as follows, and can be adopted as another embodiment of this embodiment (FIG. 28). Thru | or FIG. 31).

  In the other embodiment 1, the first shutter unit 2293 and the second shutter unit 2295, which are movable effect parts 2291, are configured to be separately openable and closable. For example, in FIG. The characters “PUSH” (translucent region 2305) are applied to the 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 (see FIG. 28A), and the display device 2281 disposed below in the vertical direction emits light. By displaying, when the character “PUSH” is displayed by light emission and the player presses the operation member 2000 from the first position to the second position, only the second shutter portion 2295 is moved from the position before the displacement to the position after the displacement. In the second display area 2336 of the display device 2281 that is displaced to the position and whose second shutter portion 2295 is retracted to the post-displacement position and opened, a predetermined character is displayed. (Men image) is displayed, the first shutter portion 2293 is not displaced left position before displacement (see FIG. 28 (b)).

  Further, when the character “PUSH” of the first shutter portion 2293 is displayed again by light emission and the player presses the operation member 2000 from the first position to the second position, the first shutter portion 2293 is The first display area 2334 of the display device 2281 is opened by being displaced (retracted) from the pre-displacement position to the post-displacement position. At this time, the character of a predetermined character (boy's image) is displayed as it is in the second display area 2336 as described above, and a new character (girls' image) is displayed in the first display area 2334 to produce an effect. (See FIG. 28 (c)).

  In addition, when the first display area 2334 is opened, the predetermined character (boy image) displayed in the second display area 2336 may be enlarged (see FIG. 28D). .

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, it is also desirable to employ the following control mechanism.

  For example, FIG. 28A illustrates a state within a first operation effective period (first period) during execution of a predetermined effect, and the characters “PUSH” (translucent region 2305) are The light emission display is performed only within a predetermined time which is the first operation effective period (for example, the light emission display is continued for 7 seconds). Then, a pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is detected within the first operation effective period (in the present embodiment, a non-detection state in which the detection piece 2279 by the press detection sensor 2277 is out of the detection region 2280 is detected). Then, the second shutter portion 2295 is displaced from the pre-displacement position to the post-displacement position (displaced to the state shown in FIG. 28B). The detection mechanism of the pressing operation is not particularly limited to the present embodiment. For example, when the detection piece 2279 is detected to be inserted into the detection area 2280, the pressing operation is detected. There may be a well-known sensor mechanism.

  In addition, when the pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is not detected within the first operation effective period, the displacement operation of the second shutter portion 2295 is not performed (the state shown in FIG. 28B is not achieved), and “PUSH”. It is assumed that the light emission display of the characters “is also ended and the predetermined effect is ended. Even when the pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is not detected, the second shutter portion 2295 is forcibly displaced (opened as shown in FIG. 28B) simultaneously with the end of the first operation effective period. You may comprise. Further, in the present embodiment, a form in which “PUSH” characters (translucent region 2305) of both the first shutter unit 2293 and the second shutter unit 2295 are lit and displayed during the first operation effective period is illustrated. Although employed, only the letters “PUSH” (translucent region 2305) on which the shutter portion is displaced (opened) may be displayed in a light-emitting manner.

  FIG. 28B illustrates a state within the second operation effective period (second period) during execution of the predetermined effect, and the letters “PUSH” (transparent) of the first shutter unit 2293 are illustrated. The light-emitting area 2305) displays light emission only within a predetermined time which is the second operation effective period (for example, light emission display is continued for 5 seconds). At this time, the characters “PUSH” (translucent region 2305) of the second shutter portion 2295 that has been opened first are not lit and displayed. Then, when a pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is detected within the second operation effective period, the first shutter portion 2293 is displaced (opened) from the pre-displacement position to the post-displacement position (state in FIG. 28C). To be displaced.)

  In addition, when the pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is not detected within the second operation effective period, the second shutter portion 2295 is not moved from the post-displacement position to the pre-displacement position without being displaced to the state of FIG. Returning, that is, the state shown in FIG. 28A is entered, and the light emission display of the characters “PUSH” is also terminated, and the predetermined effect is terminated. Even when the pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is not detected, the first shutter portion 2293 is forcibly displaced from the state of FIG. 28B simultaneously with the end of the second operation effective period (FIG. 28). You may comprise so that it may open | release like (c).

  FIG. 28 (c) shows a state within an effect execution period (third period) during execution of the predetermined effect, and the predetermined effect occurs simultaneously with the end of the third period (for example, 4 seconds). finish. When the predetermined effect ends, the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 return to the state shown in FIG. At this time, the characters “PUSH” (the translucent area 2305) are not lit and displayed. If a pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is detected within the third period, the predetermined effect is forcibly ended, and the first shutter unit 2293 and the second shutter unit 2295 are displaced from the post-displacement positions. You may make it displace to the front position (return to the state of Fig.28 (a)).

  In addition, when the pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is detected within the third period, it is determined that the game state is shifted to a game state advantageous to the player (for example, a jackpot game state described in paragraph 0225 described later). In such a case, the effect of FIG. 28C is continued as it is, and when there is a high possibility of a loss (for example, a loss mode described in paragraph 0225 described later), the effect display of FIG. 28D is changed. It is also possible to configure, and the player will be interested in the unexpectedness of the change. Further, when the pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is detected within the second operation effective period, when the next big hit game state is entered, the effect image of FIG. If there is such a possibility, it is possible to display the effect image of FIG. Although details will be described in paragraph 0225, in both cases of shifting to the jackpot gaming state and the case of losing, the symbols are displayed in a predetermined manner after the symbols are variably displayed on the symbol display device for a predetermined period. (In the case of shifting to the jackpot gaming state, it is displayed in a jackpot mode, and in the case of a loss, it is displayed in a lost mode) The predetermined effect described above is an effect that is executed while the symbol is variably displayed on the symbol variation display device.

  Note that a predetermined interval (for example, about 1 second) is provided between the above-described first operation effective period and the second operation effective period, and between the second operation effective period and the third period. . Each period described above is not limitedly interpreted, and may be two or less periods, or may be provided with four or more periods, and the design can be changed as appropriate within the scope of the present invention.

  FIG. 29 shows another example of the form of FIG. 28 described above. In FIG. 28, only the second shutter portion 2295 is first retracted from the position before displacement to the position after displacement, whereas in FIG. In the state of 28 (a), when a predetermined effect execution state is reached and the player depresses the operation member 2000, only the first shutter portion 2293 is first retracted from the pre-displacement position to the post-displacement position first. In the first display area 2334, a predetermined character (girls image) is displayed (FIG. 29A). At this time, the second shutter portion 2295 is not displaced. When the player further presses the operation member 2000, the second shutter portion 2295 is displaced, and a predetermined character (boy's symbol) is displayed in the second display area 2336 (FIG. 29B). )). The embodiment shown in FIG. 29 (c) is also possible. Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those of the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 27 and the embodiment shown in FIG.

  FIGS. 30 and 31 show another example of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, and the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 are arranged in the horizontal direction in FIGS. In contrast, FIGS. 30 and 31 are different in that the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 are arranged in the vertical direction. Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those of the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 27 and the embodiments shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, and the description thereof is incorporated.

<Other embodiment 2>
The movable effect component (shutter) 2291 and the display device (LCD) 2281 of the present embodiment can be configured as follows, and can be adopted as another embodiment of the present embodiment (FIG. 32). Thru | or FIG. 35).

  For example, in the present embodiment, the movable effect component 2291 is configured by dividing the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 into four shutter portions. Each shutter unit is configured to be able to be opened and closed separately, and the letter “PUSH” (translucent region 2305) is applied to each shutter unit (see FIG. 32).

  For example, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 32 and 33A, the upper right region in the drawing is the first shutter portion 2293, and the other three regions are the second shutter portion 2295. In addition, the letters “PUSH” (translucent area 2305) are applied to the respective shutter portions (see FIG. 32), and the letters “PUSH” emit light when the display device 2281 performs light emission display. Since it is displayed, the user is prompted to press the operation member 2000. Then, when the operation member 2000 is pressed from the first position to the second position while the characters “PUSH” are displayed in a light-emitting manner, the three second shutter portions 2295 are respectively displaced from the pre-displacement position.

<Other embodiment 4>
The movable effect component (shutter) 2291 and the display device (LCD) 2281 of the present embodiment can be configured as follows, and can be adopted as another embodiment of the present embodiment (FIG. 37). reference).

  The movable effect component (shutter) 2291 is configured to be divided into a plurality of parts, and the movable effect component 2291 (first shutter portion) disposed at a position corresponding to the first display area 2334 and the second display area 2336. 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295) are located at a first specific position (position before displacement (position indicated by a solid line in FIG. 37A)) covering the display area (the first display area 2334 and the second display area 2336). In this case, the display device (LCD) 2281 has easy-to-view regions (openings 2294 and 2296) that allow the display regions (first display region 2334 and second display region 2336) to be visible. An operation prompt image can be displayed in the first display area 2334, and the operation prompt image is displayed when the movable effect part 2291 is located at the position before displacement. Through the viewing easier region of 2291 (opening 2294,2296) it is visible.

  First, in FIG. 37, the movable effect component 2291 employs a two-split configuration of a first shutter portion 2293 and a second shutter portion 2295 as in the present embodiment. An opening 2294 and 2296 are formed in each shutter portion, and an embodiment in which a display device 2281 (LCD) disposed below through the openings 2294 and 2296 is visible is shown ( FIG. 37 (a)). In this embodiment, the openings 2294 and 2296 are provided with a transparent plate (window), but even a simple opening is within the scope of the present invention. 37A, from the first specific position (pre-displacement position) where only the second shutter portion 2295 covers the second display area 2336, the second display area 2336 is more than the first specific position. Is retracted to a second specific position (post-displacement position, a position indicated by a virtual line in FIG. 37A), which is an open position with a small area covering the area, and the second display area 2336 of the display device 2281 (LCD) A predetermined character image (boy image) is displayed (see FIG. 37B). At the same time, an operation prompt image “PUSH” is displayed in the first display area 2334, and this image can be viewed by the player through the opening 2294 of the first shutter portion 2293 located at the position before displacement. (See FIG. 37B). Therefore, the player confirms the “PUSH” operation prompt image displayed in the first display area 2334 and presses the operation member 2000. After the operation member 2000 is operated, the first shutter portion 2293 is also retracted to the post-displacement position, and a character image (girls) different from the character displayed in the second display region 2336 is displayed in the first display region 2334. Image) (see FIG. 37C), or a character image (boy image) enlarged over the first display area 2334 and the second display area 2336 may be displayed (FIG. 37D). )reference).

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is also desirable to employ the following control mechanism as in the case of FIG.

  For example, FIG. 37B illustrates a state within the first operation effective period (first period) during execution of the predetermined effect, and the image display of “PUSH” indicates that the first operation is effective. It is displayed only within a predetermined time period (for example, it is continuously displayed for 7 seconds). When the pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is detected within the first operation effective period, the first shutter portion 2293 is displaced from the pre-displacement position to the post-displacement position (FIG. 37 (c) or (d)). Displace to the state.)

  Further, when the pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is not detected within the first operation effective period, the displacement operation of the first shutter unit 2293 is not performed (the state shown in FIG. 37C or FIG. 37D is not obtained). ), The display of the characters “PUSH” is also ended, and the predetermined effect is ended. Even when the pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is not detected, the first shutter portion 2293 is forcibly displaced simultaneously with the end of the first operation effective period (as shown in FIG. 37C or FIG. 37D). (Open).

  FIG. 37 (c) shows a state within an effect execution period (second period) during execution of the predetermined effect, and the predetermined effect ends simultaneously with the end of the second period. When the predetermined effect ends, the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 return to the state shown in FIG. At this time, the characters “PUSH” are not displayed. If a pressing operation of the operation member 2000 is detected within the second period, the predetermined effect is forcibly ended, and the first shutter unit 2293 and the second shutter unit 2295 are displaced from the post-displacement positions. You may make it displace to the front position (return to the state of Fig.37 (a)).

  Further, when it is determined that the operation member 2000 is pressed in the second period, the game state is determined to be advantageous to the player (for example, the big hit game state), the state shown in FIG. It is possible to continue the production of c) and change the display to the production display of FIG. 37 (d) when the possibility of losing is high, and the player will be more interested in the unexpectedness of the change. Will be allowed to.

  It is assumed that there is a predetermined interval (for example, about 1 second) between the above-described first operation effective period and the second period. Each of the above-described periods is not limitedly interpreted, and three or more periods may be provided, and the design can be changed as appropriate within the scope of the present invention.

  FIG. 38 shows an example of another form of FIG. 37. In this form, unlike the form of FIG. 37 (b), only the first shutter portion 2293 is moved from the pre-displacement position when a predetermined effect execution state is reached. When retracted to the post-displacement position, a predetermined character image (girls image) is displayed in the first display area 2334 of the display device (LCD) 2281. At the same time, a “PUSH” operation prompting image is displayed in the second display area 2336, and this image is visible to the player through the opening 2296 of the second shutter portion 2295 (see FIG. 38A). ). That is, the images displayed in the display areas (the first display area 2334 and the second display area 2336) when the first shutter portion 2293 and the second shutter portion 2295 are displaced are the display modes in FIG. Is the opposite. Thereafter, when the player prompted by the “PUSH” operation prompt image displayed in the second display area 2336 performs the pressing operation of the operation member 2000 (after detecting the pressing operation of the operation member 2000), The second shutter unit 2295 is also retracted to the post-displacement position, and a character image (boy image) different from the character displayed in the first display region 2334 is displayed in the second display region 2336 (FIG. 38B). reference). In addition, a character image (girls image) enlarged over the first display area 2334 and the second display area 2336 may be displayed (see FIG. 38C).

  In the present embodiment, the left upper substrate 1037d, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left lower substrate 1037f are arranged on the left end surface 1031b of the light guide plate 1031 in the vertical direction indicated by the arrow A2 in FIG. Each is attached. Each of the left upper substrate 1037d, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left lower substrate 1037f is provided with a plurality of LEDs 1038, and is configured so that predetermined light can be emitted from each LED 1038 from the left side to the right side of the light guide plate 1031. (See FIGS. 56 to 58). In addition, the left upper substrate 1037d and the left middle substrate 1037e are similarly sandwiched and connected by the cover 1039 and the base 1041 described above. The left lower substrate 1037f is attached to the light guide plate 1031 by the first holder 1040. The first holder 1040 functions as a function of holding a light incident portion (light incident lens portion) 1047 described later and also as a light leakage prevention so that light from the LED 1038 does not leak. 57 and 58, the member indicated by reference numeral 1042 is the second holder, and the substrate concealment indicated by reference numeral 1046 in FIGS. 60, 62, 64, 66, and 69 is attached to the light guide plate 1031. It is a holder for connecting to the back box.

  Here, a specific example of the light emission effect display will be described.

  First, a description will be given of a point that a predetermined partial light emission display effect can be performed by causing any one of the LEDs 1038 of the upper left substrate 1037a, the upper middle substrate 1037b, and the upper right substrate 1037c to emit light.

  FIG. 60 shows the light guide plate 1031 by causing only some of the LEDs 1038 on the upper left substrate 1037a to emit light (the LED 1038 in the region indicated by reference numeral L1 in FIG. 58 is referred to as first light emitting means in this embodiment). It shows that a predetermined light emission effect is applied to the area indicated by hatching. In the present embodiment, an image (specific image) 1143 a having the same shape as that of the first movable effect actor 1143 is displayed on the left region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031. A reflection part (in this embodiment, the reflection part in this region is referred to as a first reflection part) is formed so that it can be displayed at the same position as the arrangement position.

  Then, for example, when a predetermined condition is set in the game and a first movable effect actor 1143 to be described later is moved, before the first movable effect actor 1143 starts moving, the upper left substrate A part of the LED 1038 of 1037a is caused to emit light (flash / light). The upper left substrate 1037a of the present embodiment is provided with an LED 1038 in the L1 area and an LED 1038 in the L2 area, the arrangement positions of which are changed in the vertical direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 58, a region indicated by L2 at a position higher in the vertical direction than the LED 1038 provided in the region indicated by L1 (in this embodiment, the same height position as the LED 1038 of the upper middle substrate 1037b in the vertical direction). LED 1038 is provided. In the present embodiment, only the LED 1038 in the range indicated by L1 in FIG. Thereby, the first movable effect actor 1143 and the first movable effect actor 1143 are arranged by the reflecting portion provided in the left region of the light guide plate 1031 corresponding to the position (left region in the drawing) where the first movable effect agent 1143 is disposed. A blade image (specific image) 1143a having the same shape is displayed in a light emission (flashing / lighting) effect so as to overlap the first movable effect agent 1143 in the left region of the light guide plate 1031 (FIG. 61). reference). As described above, after the image 1143a having the same shape as the first movable effect actor 1143 is displayed in the light emission effect at the same position, the first movable effect actor 1143 appears, so that the first movable effect actor 1143 appears. This suggests a possibility that the accessory 1143 can move to a predetermined position (a so-called tilt feeling such as whether or not to appear). In particular, the expectation can be further enhanced by setting to blink at high speed.

  FIG. 62 shows that the light emission of the LED 1038 on the upper middle substrate 1037b and the LED 1038 in the L2 region of the upper left substrate 1037a described above gives a predetermined light emission effect to the region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031. . In the present embodiment, the LED 1038 on the upper middle substrate 1037b and the LED 1038 in the L2 region of the upper left substrate 1037a are referred to as second light emitting means. In the present embodiment, in the central region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031, the reflection unit (the book) is displayed so that a face image of the character of the gaming machine (an image different from the specific image 1143 a) can be displayed large. In the embodiment, the reflective portion in this region is referred to as a second reflective portion). For example, when a predetermined condition is established in the game and the game state is shifted to a game state advantageous to the player, before the shift, the LED 1038 of the upper middle board 1037b and the above-described upper left board 1037a The LED 1038 in the L2 area is caused to emit light (flash / light). As a result, the face image of the predetermined character is emitted (flashed / lit) in the central area of the light guide plate 1031 by the reflecting portion provided in the central area of the light guide plate 1031 (see FIG. 63). As described above, after the face image of the predetermined character is displayed in the center region of the light guide plate 1031 and the light emission effect is displayed, the game state transitions to the predetermined game state. Increases interest and improvement. Even in this case, expectation can be further enhanced by setting to blink at high speed. In this embodiment, the effect display is performed as described above by the light guide plate 1031. However, the face image of the character is displayed by the display device 4, and the headband image of the character is superimposed on the light guide plate 1031. It may be a light emitting display and is within the scope of the present invention.

  In FIGS. 64 and 65, a predetermined light emission effect is applied to the area indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031 by the light emission of each LED 1038 (in the present embodiment, this is referred to as third light emitting means) of the upper right substrate 1037c. Which indicates that. In the present embodiment, a predetermined decorative image can be displayed on the first light emitting effect unit 1057 and the second light emitting effect unit 1105 described later in the right region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031. In addition, a reflection portion (in this embodiment, the reflection portion in this region is referred to as a third reflection portion) is formed. For example, in the present embodiment, the character “WARNING” is displayed by light emission, but the decoration image in this case may be a character or a predetermined character image. Moreover, you may comprise so that it may light-emit in a predetermined color so that the whole region of the 1st light emission production | presentation means 1057 and the 2nd light emission production | presentation means 1105 may be covered.

  In addition, for example, a predetermined light emission display effect can be performed by causing all or all of the left upper substrate 1037d, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left lower substrate 1037f or any one of the LEDs 1038 to emit light.

  66 to 68 show the light guide plate by causing all the LEDs 1038 of the left upper substrate 1037d, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left lower substrate 1037f (this is referred to as a fourth light emitting unit in this embodiment) to emit light. It shows that a predetermined light emission effect is applied to the entire area indicated by the hatched line 1031. In the present embodiment, a reflection portion (in this embodiment, a lightning-like image can be displayed from the lower area of the game board toward the upper area in all areas indicated by diagonal lines of the light guide plate 1031. The reflective portion in this region is referred to as a fourth reflective portion). Then, for example, a predetermined condition is set in the game, and a second movable effect combination 1213 to be described later moves to an appearance position (also referred to as a second position or another position), and a second movable effect combination storage unit 1313 is obtained. When a movable effect is made as if pierced, the LED 1038 below the left lower substrate 1037f emits light (flashes / lights) to the upper LED 1038 (FIG. 68 (a)), and then the left middle substrate 1037e Light is emitted (flashing / lighting) from the lower LED 1038 to the upper LED 1038 (FIG. 68B), and then light is emitted (flashing / lighting) from the lower LED 1038 to the upper LED 1038 on the left upper substrate 1037d (FIG. 68B). 68 (c)). Thus, a lightning-like image is emitted (flashing / lighting) from the lower area to the upper area by the reflecting portions provided in the entire area of the light guide plate 1031 (see FIGS. 67 and 68). 68 (a) to 68 (c) show a state in which light-emitting images such as lightning gradually spread from the lower region to the upper region. This is expressed by lighting each LED 1038 in the order of the left lower substrate 1037f, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the upper left substrate 1037a. Further, after the LEDs 1038 on the left lower substrate 1037f, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the upper left substrate 1037a are in a light emitting state (FIG. 68 (c)), the LEDs 1038 below the left lower substrate 1037f are sequentially turned to the upper LEDs 1038. The LED 1038 under the left middle substrate 1037e is turned off sequentially from the lower LED 1038 to the upper LED 1038, and then the LED 1038 under the upper left substrate 1037a is turned off in turn to the upper LED 1038. You may make it perform the effect that an image becomes difficult to visually recognize in order. Note that the LEDs 1038 on the left lower substrate 1037f, the left middle substrate 1037e, and the left upper substrate 1037d can simultaneously emit light (flash / light). In this way, the appearance of the second movable effect actor 1213 (movable effect) and the light emission effect display by the entire region of the light guide plate 1031 are provided together, thereby giving a surprise effect to the player. Can improve the interest. In other words, there is a development that is advantageous for the game by the production by the large appearance action in a certain direction of the second movable production actor 1213 and the light emission display production from the direction opposite to the appearance direction. It is possible to make the player feel a sense of heels. Although a detailed description is omitted in this embodiment, when a game ball enters the start winning opening 1009 and a game ball is detected by a sensor (not shown), a random number value is extracted. . Based on the extracted random number value, the symbol display device (not shown) displays the symbol in a predetermined manner and then stops and displays it in a predetermined manner. As a mode of the symbols that are stopped and displayed in the symbol display device, a jackpot mode that is stopped when the extracted random number value is a predetermined specific random value and a stoppage that is displayed when the extracted random number is not a specific random value. There is a losing aspect. When stopped and displayed in the big win mode, the big winning opening 1011 is in an open state, and the game ball shifts to a so-called jackpot game state in which a game ball can easily enter. Then, it is possible to perform the effects as described above during the symbol variation display in the symbol display device. For example, when a symbol is stopped and displayed in a losing manner, the effect of light emission display up to the state of FIG. 68 (a) is a selection rate of 8/10, and the effect of light emission display up to the state of FIG. 68 (b) is 2 / When the selection rate of 10 and the effect of light emission display up to the state of FIG. 68 (c) is 0/10 selection rate, and the symbol is stopped and displayed in a big win mode, the light emission display is performed up to the state of FIG. 68 (a). The selection rate is 1/10 for the effect, the selection rate is 4/10 for the effect displayed until the state shown in FIG. 68 (b), and the selection rate is 5/10 for the effect displayed for the state shown in FIG. 68 (c). As such, the degree of expectation that is stopped and displayed in the jackpot mode may be different for each effect to be executed.

  69 and 70, each LED 1038 of the upper left substrate 1037d (this is referred to as a fifth light emitting unit in the present embodiment) emits light, thereby causing predetermined light emission in the upper region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031 ( (Blinking / lighting) indicates that an effect will be given. In the present embodiment, a reflective portion (in this embodiment, a reflective portion in this region) is displayed on the upper region indicated by the oblique lines of the light guide plate 1031 so that a predetermined decorative image (a predetermined character image or the like) can be displayed. Is referred to as a fifth reflecting portion). The decoration image in this case may be a character or another character image. In addition, an image (for example, a headband) that overlaps with the image (first image 1051 of the character) on the cell sheet 1049 shown in FIG. 71 to form one image (an image in which the character is winding a headband, see FIG. 71C). In order to display the first image 1051) in a light emitting manner, a predetermined reflecting portion may be provided at a predetermined position of the light guide plate 1031 so that this one character image is simultaneously displayed in a light emitting effect.

  The transmission mechanism 1163 includes a first gear 1177, a second gear 1183, a third gear 1185, a conversion mechanism 1193, and a slide shaft member 1167 (see FIGS. 83 to 87). . The slide shaft member 1167 attaches and fixes the bearing portion 1169 to the back side of the front decorative member 1149, and attaches and fixes the front and rear ends 1173 and 1175 of the slide shaft 1171 to the back side of the back member 1157 of the exterior member 1153, respectively. As a result, the slide shaft 1171 slidably held on the bearing portion 1169 moves up and down, so that the exterior member 1153 is slidably (expandable) relative to the front decorative member 1149 (FIGS. 83 to 83). 85).

  The first gear (slide relay large gear) 1177 has a diameter larger than that of the motor gear 1161 and includes a region 1179 having no gear teeth in a circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface. The motor gear of the driving unit 1161 It is configured to engage with 1161 and to rotate in forward and reverse directions upon receiving a rotational motion from the driving means 1159. That is, the first gear 1177 employs a so-called toothless gear, and the motor gear 1161 is arranged to mesh with a region 1181 having gear teeth over the entire circumferential direction of the first gear 1177 (FIG. 83, FIG. 83). 84, 86, and 87). The first gear 1177 is pivotally supported by a shaft member 1152 that projects from the front side of the back decorative member 1151.

  The second gear (slide large gear) 1183 has a smaller diameter than the first gear 1177 and meshes with a region 1181 having gear teeth over the entire circumferential direction of the first gear 1177 to rotate in the forward and reverse directions. It is arranged to be operable. For example, according to the present embodiment, an annular fitting tube portion 1185b protruding to one side of the circumferential surface of a third gear (missing gear) 1185 described later is slidably fitted to the inner surface of the second gear 1183. A third gear 1185 is provided on the back side of the front decoration member 1149 (see FIGS. 83, 84, 86 and 87).

  The third gear (missed gear) 1185 has a smaller diameter than the first gear 1177 and is substantially the same diameter as the second gear 1183, and the gear teeth of the first gear 1177. A region 1187 having gear teeth meshing with the first gear 1177 and a region 1179 having no gear teeth corresponding to the region 1179 having no gear teeth of the first gear 1177 are provided in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface. Missing gears are used.

  The region 1189 not having gear teeth is provided with a protrusion, and the tip end surface 1191 of the protrusion is configured to contact the peripheral surface region 1179 having no gear teeth of the first gear 1177. (See FIGS. 83, 84, 86 and 87). That is, in this embodiment, the height of the tip end surface 1191 of the protrusion is set to the same height as the tip of the gear teeth in the region 1187 having the gear teeth. The gear teeth of the region 1187 having gear teeth may be different from the height of the front end surface 1191 as long as the gear teeth mesh with the gear teeth of the first gear 1177 and can transmit the rotation operation.

  The third gear 1185 has an annular fitting tube portion 1185b protruding to one side of the peripheral surface slidably attached to the inner surface of the second gear 1183, and the side on which the fitting tube portion 1185b is provided. A plurality of protrusions 1185a projecting on one surface are fitted into recesses (not shown) provided on the first member 1149a of the front decoration member 1149, and are rotated together with the first member 1149a (circulation) I am going to do it. A shaft hole 1185c is provided at the center of the plate of the third gear 1185, and the shaft member 1150 provided in the first member 1149a is inserted into the shaft hole 1185c (FIGS. 83 and 84). reference)

  Since the second gear 1183 is only slidably attached to the fitting cylinder portion 1185b of the third gear 1185, it does not rotate with the first member 1149a. Similar to the second gear 1183, it is rotatably supported on a shaft member 1150 that is provided on the back side of the front decorative member 1149.

  The conversion mechanism 1193 has a configuration capable of converting the forward / reverse rotation operation of the second gear 1183 into a rectilinear operation and moving the movable effect accessory 1143 forward / backward. A large number of gear groups (also referred to as slide relay gear groups, in this embodiment, seven gears 1195a, 1195b, and 1195c) sequentially meshed from the lowermost gear 1195a meshing with the gear 1183 to the uppermost gear 1195g. , 1195d, 1195e, 1195f, and 1195g), a pinion gear 1197 that is formed side by side and synchronized with the uppermost gear 1195g of the gear group, and a rack member (sliding rack) 1201 with which the pinion gear 1197 meshes. (See FIGS. 83 and 84).

  In the drawings, the gear groups (1195a, 1195b, 1195c, 1195d, 1195e, 1195f, 1195g) are disclosed in a floating state so as to be easy to see, but actually, the first member 1149a of the front decoration member 1149 is disclosed. Respective gears (1195a, 1195b, 1195c, 1195d, 1195e, 1195f, 1195g) are rotatably provided on the shaft member projecting on the back side. The rack member 1201 is attached and fixed to the back surface of the back member 1157 of the exterior member 1153. Note that the pinion gear 1197 is disclosed in parallel with the uppermost gear 1195g in the drawing for explanation, but it is necessary to mesh with the rack member 1201 fixed to the back member 1157 of the exterior member 1153. Actually, the first member 1149a is located on the front side through the slide groove 1149c.

  Here, the operation of the first movable effect combination 1143 will be briefly described. In the first movable director 1143, a region 1181 having the gear teeth of the second gear 1183 and a region 1187 having the gear teeth of the third gear 1185 are regions 1181 having the gear teeth of the first gear 1177. 47, 49 to 51 so that the blade shape of the exterior member 1153 is positioned in the vertical direction on the left back side of the gaming board 1 when viewed from the front side of the gaming machine as shown in FIGS. It is arranged. This state is the initial position 1145 in the first movable effect combination 1143.

  Then, the gear teeth of the third gear 1185 mesh with the gear teeth of the first gear 1177, and the rotational movement of the driving means 1159 in the forward rotation direction is transmitted to the third gear 1185. By this, the first movable effect item 1143 (the exterior member 1153 and the front decoration member 1149) rotates from the initial position 1145 toward the center of the game area of the game board 1 so that it can be easily seen by the player. It protrudes (see FIGS. 50, 81 and 82). Thus, the state of rotating and projecting toward the game area of the game board 1 is the appearance position 1147 in the first movable effect combination 1143. In FIG. 82, the movable state of the first movable effect actor 1143 is indicated by a solid line, and the extended state (a state advanced forward obliquely upward) is indicated by a virtual line. In addition, it is easy to visually recognize the state in which the first movable effect actor 1143 rotates and projects in the game area direction (indicated by a solid line) and further extends (indicated by an imaginary line) from the player. In this state, the appearance position 1147 is used.

  The second gear 1183 that meshes with the gear teeth of the first gear 1177 simultaneously with the third gear 1185 and rotates in the forward direction rotates the rotation mechanism of the drive unit 1159 in the forward direction. The pinion gear 1197 that is engaged with the rack member 1201 operates in the direction of extending the exterior member 1153 that is integrated with the rack member 1201. When the region 1189 having no gear teeth of the third gear 1185 is opposed to the region 1181 having no gear teeth of the first gear 1177, the third gear 1185 has gear teeth. Since the region 1189 (protrusion leading end surface 1191) that is not moved moves while contacting the region 1181 that does not have the gear teeth of the first gear 1177, the first movable effect accessory 1143 (exterior member 1153) Is maintained at the appearance position 1147, and the turning motion transmitted from the second gear 1183 is converted into a straight-ahead motion by the conversion mechanism 1193, so that the first movable effect accessory 1143 moves in the extending direction. Then, after stopping at the appearance position for a certain period of time, the driving means 1159 is rotated in the reverse direction to rotate the motor gear 1161, the second gear 1183, the third gear 1185, and the gear group 1195a constituting the conversion mechanism 1193, the pinion gear 1197, and The counter-rotating operation is transmitted to the rack member 1201 to operate the first movable effect actor 1143 in a contracting direction and to rotate to return to the initial position 1145.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the locking protrusion 1203 integrally protruding on the back side of the back cover member 1199 is provided on the back side of the back decoration member 1151 via the curved slide long groove 1205 provided on the back decoration member 1151. And the other end of a predetermined spring member 1207 provided with one end locked to the back side of the back decorative member is locked to the protruding locking protrusion 1203 so that the exterior member 1153 is always provided. The front decoration member 1149 is urged so as to return to the initial position (see FIG. 85). In addition, the 1st movable production | presentation actor 1143 rotates between the initial position 1145 and the appearance position 1147 by the drive means 1159 and the transmission mechanism 1163, and the spring member 1207 is the appearance position 1147 to the last. The spring force is such that it functions to assist the turning operation to return to the initial position 1145.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a photo sensor 1209 is provided on the front side of the back decoration member 1151, and a projecting piece (not shown) protruding on the back side of the back cover member 1199 is detected to detect the first movable effect. The initial position 1145 and appearance position 1147 of the accessory 1143 can be recognized. For example, when a projecting piece (not shown) is detected by the photo sensor 1209, the photo sensor 1209 recognizes that the projecting piece 1145 is at the initial position 1145, and rotates to detect the projecting piece (not shown) from the photo sensor 1209. When it disappears, it recognizes that it is in the appearance position 1147, and after recognizing that it is in the appearance position 1147, a signal is sent to the sub-control board to reversely rotate the driving means 1159 after a predetermined time has passed.

Here, the light emission effect display form of the 1st movable effect part 1143 in this embodiment is demonstrated.
In the present embodiment, the first movable effect actor 1143 emits some of the LEDs 1038 disposed at predetermined positions of the light guide plate 1031 before the first movable effect actor 1143 starts moving. By performing the light emission display (light emission display of a specific image), it is notified that there is a possibility that the first movable effect actor 1143 may move to a predetermined position. This can give the player a sense of expectation that it may move (appear). For example, as described in paragraph 0221 above, when a predetermined condition is established in the game and the first movable effect actor 1143 is moved, before the first movable effect agent 1143 starts moving. In addition, some of the LEDs 1038 on the upper left substrate 1037a are caused to emit light (flashing / lighting). Accordingly, the first movable effect is provided by the reflecting portion provided in the left region of the light guide plate 1031 corresponding to the position (the region indicated by the oblique line on the left side in FIG. 60) where the first movable effect actor 1143 is disposed. Since the blade image 1143a having the same shape as that of the accessory 1143 is displayed as a light emission (flashing / lighting) effect in the left region of the light guide plate 1031 (see FIG. 61), the first movable effect accessory 1143 is moved to a predetermined position. It is supposed to notify that there is a possibility of moving. This can give the player a sense of expectation that it may move (appear). It is also possible to adopt a mode in which the first movable effect accessory 1143 is moved in the left-right direction in small increments when a part of the LEDs 1038 of the upper left substrate 1037a emits light (flashes / lights). In the present embodiment, after the light-emitting display of the light guide plate 1031, the first movable effect actor 1143 moves to a predetermined position or does not move to a predetermined position, but always moves to a predetermined position. It is also possible to make it not to move.

  Further, in association with (in conjunction with) the movement of the first movable effect actor 1143 from the first position (initial position) 1145 to the second position (appearance position) 1147, a predetermined amount of the light guide plate 1031 is determined. It is also possible to cause the LED 1038 disposed at the position to emit light and to display a predetermined image (also referred to as a third image or one image) on the light guide plate 1031 through the first reflecting portion. For example, when the first movable director 1143 is moved to the second position (appearance position) 1147, the LED 1038 of the predetermined LED substrate 1037 (for example, the upper middle substrate 1037b) of the light guide plate 1031 is caused to emit light and guided. By a predetermined reflecting portion (first reflecting portion) provided in a predetermined region of the light plate 1031, a light emitting effect (third image or one image) as if light is emitted from the first movable effect member 1143 is applied. It is also possible (see FIG. 81). In order to emit light emitted from the first movable effect member 1143, it is also possible to produce a light emission effect by combining the first image provided on the cell sheet 1051 and the second image provided on the light guide plate 1031. . The light-emitting display image that is notified before the first movable effect actor 1143 starts moving and the light-emitting display image that is displayed based on the movement are not particularly limited, and the design can be changed within the scope of the present invention. .

The spring mounting portion 1555 is provided so as to protrude over the front surface and the rear surface of the main body 1551 of the protruding member 1547.

  The projecting member 1547 performs a movable effect of moving around the rotation base 1535, and the projecting member 1547 itself receives light from the LED 1542 on the back surface side of the LED substrate 1543 through the light introducing portion 1553, thereby producing a light emitting effect. It also functions as a lens unit to perform. The light introducing portion 1553 is formed in a substantially quarter-spherical shape, and is disposed so that the concave inner surface side faces the LED 1542 on the back surface side of the LED substrate 1543. An annular reflector 1545 provided in close contact with the LED substrate 1543 is interposed between the LED substrate 1542 and the light introducing portion 1553, and the reflector 1545 has a concave inner surface and a light introducing portion 1553. A recessed portion 1545a is formed at a position facing the LED 1542 coaxially and with the concave inner surface and the LED 1542 aligned with the respective openings (see FIG. 115). When the main body 1551 of the projecting member 1547 is positioned at the appearance position 1548, the light introducing portion 1553 is set so as to correspond to the LED 1542 of the light emitting means.

  Therefore, the light from the LED 1542 is emitted toward the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 to display the main body 1551 in a light emitting effect. Further, the light emitted from the LED 1542 is reflected and diffused by the concave inner surface, and is also applied to the surface portion of the main body 1551. At this time, since a predetermined lens cut 1551a is formed on the surface of the main body 1551, the irradiated light is reflected and diffused by the lens cut 1551a to produce a light emission effect on the entire main body 1551 (see FIG. 115). In addition, the reflector 1545 is provided with a recessed portion 1545a disposed coaxially with the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 and the LED 1542, and the recessed portion 1545a disposed with the respective openings corresponding to the LED 1542. Light from the LED 1542 can be irradiated without being diffused toward the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553 by the hollow portion 1545a. Further, when the protruding member 1547 is housed and positioned in the retracted position 1546 (a gap 1577 described later), the light introducing portion 1553 is not in the corresponding position. Although not limited in particular, it is also possible to provide more LEDs so that the protruding member 1547 can cope with any position.

  The guide base 1561 is provided on the front surface of the base board 1561a in a concave shape with a first position 1565 provided in a circumferential direction of a predetermined length and the first position 1565 and having a smaller diameter than the first position 1565. An annular guide surface (guide portion) 1563 provided alternately with the second position 1567 in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface is projected forward (see FIGS. 107 and 111 to 113). For example, in the present embodiment, the annular guide surface 1563 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the outer periphery of the base board 1561a, the second positions 1567 are provided in a concave shape at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction of the annular guide surface 1563, and the second position Guide surfaces other than 1567 are set as the first position 1565. The second position 1567 is recessed in a circular shape from one end of the first position 1565 when viewed from the front, and is gently connected to the adjacent first position 1565 via a gentle curved surface 1569.

  Further, in a substantially central region of the front surface of the base board 1561a of the guide base 1561, a first cylindrical portion 1571 protruding forward from the annular guide surface 1563 and a substantially central region of the first cylindrical portion 1571 are provided. The second cylindrical portion 1573 having a smaller diameter than the first cylindrical portion 1571 is provided. The second cylindrical portion 1573 is inserted through the through holes provided at the centers of the LED substrate 1543, the substrate cover 1539, and the substrate cover 1539, and then the shaft bush 1540 is attached to the tip thereof. A shaft member 1535a protruding from the back surface of the rotation base 1535 is inserted into the shaft bush 1540 and protrudes to the back surface side of the guide base 1561 (see FIG. 111). The protruding end of the shaft member 1535a is connected to a transmission gear 1575 so that the rotation operation of the drive gear 1579 is transmitted to the rotation base 1535. An annular gap 1577 is formed between the front surface of the guide base 1561 and the back surface of the rotary base 1535 with the width of the tip of the first cylindrical portion 1571 (tip surface excluding the second cylindrical portion 1573). (See FIG. 111). The gap 1577 functions as a retracted position 1546 that is difficult to visually recognize when the protruding member 1547 is positioned at the second position 1567 (see FIGS. 107 and 111).

  The rotating shaft base 1559 is integrally attached to the rotating base 1535 by screwing, and is formed in an annular shape so as to be slidably attached to the outer periphery of an annular guide surface 1563 provided on the guide base 1561, and the spring A winding portion of a spring 1549 is fitted around the mounting portion 1555, and the spring mounting portion 1555 is rotatably attached to the end surface 1559 a of the rotating shaft base 1559. Then, the other end (free end) of the spring 1549 is locked to a spring end locking portion 1558 protruding from the front end surface of the protruding member 1547. In this manner, the protruding member 1547 is rotatably attached to the rotating shaft base 1559, and the guide surface sliding portion 1557 slides on the peripheral surface of the annular guide surface 1563 when fitted on the annular guide surface 1563. Arrange for possible. At this time, the spring force of the spring 1549 is biased in the direction in which the main body 1551 is accommodated in the gap 1577 between the rotating shaft base 1559 and the guide base 1561 (see FIGS. 107 to 109).

  Therefore, when the driving unit (motor) 1523 is rotated, the rotation operation of the gear (motor gear) 1579 provided in the driving unit (motor) 1523 is transmitted to the transmission gear 1575. The rotation operation transmitted from the transmission gear 1575 is transmitted to the rotation base 1535 via a shaft member 1535a formed by fixing the transmission gear 1575 to one end. As a result, the rotating shaft base 1559 attached integrally with the rotating base 1535 rotates, so that the guide surface sliding portion 1557 of the projecting member 1547 provided on the rotating shaft base 1559 is It will slide on the outer periphery in a predetermined direction. The protruding member 1547 is easily visible against the urging of the elastic member (spring) 1549 when the guide surface sliding portion 1557 is positioned at the first position 1565 of the annular guide surface 1563 by the rotation operation. The main body 1551 protrudes from the appearance position 1548 (see FIG. 112). Then, when the guide surface sliding portion 1557 reaches the second position 1567 of the annular guide surface 1563 by moving in the rotational direction (the direction indicated by reference numeral R1 in FIG. 112), the force of the elastic member (spring) 1549 The guide surface sliding portion 1557 falls to the second position 1567. By this dropping operation, the projecting member 1547 is rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation direction (retracted direction indicated by reference numeral R2 in FIG. 112) by the force of the spring 1549, and is accommodated in the retracted position 1546 (the gap 1577) that is difficult to see. To do. Thereafter, the guide surface sliding portion 1557 slides on the gentle curved surface 1569 and is positioned at the adjacent first position 1565. Thus, when the protruding member 1547 reaches the first position 1565 via the guide surface sliding portion 1557, the protruding member 1547 protrudes and is positioned at an easily visible appearance position 1548. This operation is repeated by the rotation operation, and the protruding member 1547 moves alternately between the first position 1565 and the second position 1567.

  With this configuration, the movable member 1531 moved from the retracted position (initial position) 1546 to the appearance position 1548 is rotated in a predetermined direction by the driving means (motor) 1523 at the appearance position 1548 and the LED 1541 is operated. And 1542, the front side of the movable member 1531 and the protruding member 1547 emit light. More specifically, the projecting member 1547 is a transparent member formed in a predetermined flat blade shape, and has a light introducing portion 1553 at the lower end. Since the LED 1542 is disposed so as to face the LED 1542 on the back surface side of the LED substrate 1543 when it is located at 1565 and is in the protruding state (the state shown in FIGS. 112 and 115), the light from the LED 1542 is Irradiated toward the concave inner surface of the light introducing portion 1553, the main body 1551 is displayed as a light emission effect.

  In addition, the light emitted from the LED 1542 is reflected and diffused by the concave inner surface and is also irradiated to the surface portion of the main body 1551. Since the predetermined lens cut 1551a is formed on the surface of the main body 1551, the irradiated light is Reflected and diffused by the lens cut 1551a, the entire body 1551 produces a light emission effect (see FIG. 115). Note that when the protruding member 1547 is accommodated in the retracted position 1546 (the gap 1577), the light introducing portion 1553 is not in a position corresponding to the LED 1542. In addition, a large number of LEDs 1541 are provided on the front side of the LED substrate 1543, each of which performs a predetermined issuance effect according to the setting, and emits an annular ornament 1537 and a decorative member 1533 through the rotation base 1535. At this time, the LED 1541 is provided at a position corresponding to a decorative display portion 1538 that is integrally formed from the annular ornament 1537 and arranged in parallel below the decorative member 1533 together with a light emitting effect in the front direction by a large number of LEDs 1541. . Therefore, if a predetermined character design, character name, or the like is displayed on the decoration display unit 1538, a predetermined light emission effect is achieved when the light from the LED 1541 is irradiated. Although not limited in particular, it is also possible to provide more LEDs so that the protruding member 1547 can cope with any position.

  In the present embodiment, in the operation control of the firing handle 26b such as the control based on the detection result of the firing stop switch 26g, the payout / launch control board connected to the main control board 28 (see FIG. 149). 34 (control means). In the figure, 26i is a handle shaft, 26j is a spring member in which one end 26j-1 is fixed to a support portion (accommodating case) 26c and the other end 26j-2 is fixed to a handle grip 26d. Since the grip 26d is always urged toward the start time point, the player rotates the handle grip 26d in the clockwise direction against the elasticity of the spring member 26j to fire the game ball (FIG. 169). And FIG. 170).

  When the player interrupts the game and releases his / her hand from the handle grip 26d, the handle grip 26d is returned to the start time position by the elasticity of the spring member 26j. At this time, the launch stop button 26e is pushed by a protrusion (not shown) of the handle grip 26d, and the launch of the game ball is stopped.

  Here, as a method of increasing / decreasing the launch intensity of the game ball, the resistance value of the launch volume (not shown) is changed according to the rotation amount (rotation angle) of the handle grip 26d of the launch handle 26b. It is also known that the power to be supplied to a solenoid (not shown) is changed to increase or decrease the launch intensity of the game ball, but in this embodiment, the turning operation of the handle grip 26d of the launch handle 26b is known. A launching spring (not shown) that is linked to the launching spring and a winding (clamping) gear mechanism for the launching spring are used, and the rotation of the lifting gear mechanism depends on the amount of rotation of the handle grip 26d of the launching handle 26b. Increasing the strength of the game ball by adjusting the amount to increase or decrease the degree of winding (tightening) of the launch spring. It is made to change.

  More specifically, when the handle grip 26d of the firing handle 26b is turned, the amount of rotation at that time is transmitted to the firing spring via the gear mechanism, and the firing spring is wound up (tightened). As a result, the return force (restoring force) of the firing spring is increased. Thereby, the firing strength of the game ball can be increased. If it is desired to weaken the launch strength of the game ball, the handle grip 26d of the launch handle 26b can be rotated in the reverse direction to loosen the degree of winding (tightening) of the launch spring.

  By the way, in this embodiment, the game board 1 employ | adopts the structure attached so that attachment or detachment is possible from the back surface (refer FIG. 146) of the main body frame base board 2a. More specifically, a plurality of fasteners 27a to 27e are rotatably provided on the back surface of the main body frame base plate 2a along the periphery of the main body frame opening 2h. The game board 1 is positioned along the main body frame opening 2h while the front surface where the region 1p is configured is opposed to the rear surface of the main body frame base plate 2a, and then the fasteners 27a to 27e are rotated to By engaging a part of the game board 1 with the game board 1, the game board 1 is sandwiched between the fasteners 27a to 27e and the back surface of the main body frame base plate 2a. It can be detachably attached to the back surface of the base plate 2a.

  The game board 1 has an opening 1h (hereinafter referred to as a game board opening) provided in the rear frame 5 and capable of visually recognizing a display mode displayed on the liquid crystal display device 4 for performing a predetermined effect display. Is provided on the front surface (front surface) of the game board 1 (see FIGS. 146 and 148), and a game area 1p in which game balls can roll and flow over an area including the game board opening 1h. And the main control board 28 is provided on the back surface of the game board 1 (see FIG. 149) in a state where the game board opening 1h is avoided and accommodated in the case 28k.

  In the present embodiment, an opening decoration frame 29 for decorating the game board opening 1h is provided on the back side of the game board opening 1h. It is configured to be movable / turnable (see FIG. 149). As a result, the opening decoration frame 29 is rotated, swung, and swung in a predetermined direction (for example, the direction indicated by the solid line and the two-dot chain line in FIG. 149) according to the state of play of the game. Can be dramatically improved.

  In the game area 1p (see FIGS. 146 and 148), various decorative members are provided so as to surround the game board opening 1h, and a plurality of general prize winning openings are provided below the game board opening 1h. 30 and various game members such as a start winning opening 31 in which special symbols are variably displayed are provided when a game ball is entered.

  The main control board 28 is connected to the sub control board 33 and the dispensing / launching control board 34 via the relay board 32 (see FIG. 52). The sub-control board 33 and the payout / launch control board 34 are provided on the rear frame 5 (see FIG. 151) described later. In this case, the sub control board 33 controls the display control in the liquid crystal display device 4 described above according to various commands supplied from the main control board 28, the control related to the sound generated from the speakers 10a to 10c, and the right side described above. Various LEDs including the decorative member 15 and the left decorative member 16 are controlled. In addition, the above-described launching device 26 and a payout device 35 (see FIGS. 151 to 156) for paying out game balls are connected to the payout / launch control board 34.

  Here, the game ball launched from the launching device 26 described above is guided along the guide rail and then flows out to the upper side of the game area 1p. In this case, the guide rail includes an outer rail 36 (see FIGS. 146 and 147), and an inner rail 37 (see FIGS. 146 and 148) arranged to face each other along the inner side of the outer rail 36.

  In the present embodiment, the inner rail 37 is configured integrally with the game board 1 (see FIGS. 146 and 148), and the outer rail 36 is configured separately from the game board 1 and integrated with the main body frame 2. (See FIGS. 146 and 147). Specifically, the outer rail 36 is provided along the main body frame opening 2h of the main body frame base plate 2a, and the gaming board 1 can be attached to and detached from the back surface of the main body frame 2 (see FIG. 49) as described above. In this state, a guide rail in which the inner rails 37 are arranged to face each other along the inner side of the outer rail 36 is configured.

  In this case, it is assumed that the game ball that is launched from the launching device 26 and flows out to the upper side of the game area 1p rolls down while colliding with a plurality of game nails (not shown) or the like, and wins, for example, the general prize opening 30 Then, a signal that detects this is supplied to the main control board 28. At this time, a command for giving out a predetermined number of game balls is output from the main control board 28 (see FIG. 149) to the payout / firing control board 34 (see FIG. 151), and payout / firing control is performed based on the payout command. The substrate 34 (see FIG. 151) controls the payout device 35, so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out from the payout device 35 and supplied to the above-described upper plate 17.

  Further, when the handle grip 26d of the launch handle 26b is rotated by the player during the game, the payout / launch control board 34 drives the drive device according to the amount of rotation (rotation angle) and Control to fire the stored game balls.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, conventionally, guide rails (outer rails, inner rails) are integrated with the game board, and when replacing the game board, both the outer rail and the inner rail must be connected. At the same time, it was necessary to replace both the outer and inner rails 36 and 37 at the same time as before when the game board 1 was replaced because the outer rail 36 was configured separately from the game board 1. Therefore, it is only necessary to replace the inner rail 37, so that the replacement operation can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

  Furthermore, in the case where the game board is provided with both outer and inner rails as in the prior art, when the game board is attached to the main body frame, it is extremely important to align with the launching device already attached to the main body frame. Become. At this time, if the positions of the launching device and the guide rail are slightly deviated, the ball jump may become unstable. Therefore, in the case of the conventional gaming machine form, it is designed with sufficient consideration of the relationship between the mounting of the gaming board, the position and angle of the guide rail provided in the gaming board, and the position of the launching device provided in the main body frame. Installation has to be performed, and manufacturing and mounting are troublesome, and there is a risk of increasing costs.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the outer rail 36 is mounted on the main body frame base plate 2a of the main body frame 2 together with the launching device 26 as described above, the firing device 26 and the guide rail (outer rail 36) are used. Are attached to the same place, and each positioning can be performed easily and accurately. Therefore, the ball jumping becomes very stable, and a very useful action and effect can be achieved without giving stress to the player.

  In the present embodiment, the number of fasteners 27a to 27e that detachably fasten the game board 1 provided on the main body frame base plate 2a is also considered in order to execute the above-described specific effects. That is, according to the present embodiment, the ball frame is stabilized by adopting a form in which the main body frame base plate 2a is provided with the guide rail (outer rail 36) together with the launching device 26. If 1 itself is not firmly attached to the main body frame 2 (main body frame base plate 2a), the position of the guide rail (specifically, the position where the outer rail 36 and the inner rail 37 face each other) is shifted. As a result, it becomes impossible to execute the operations and effects peculiar to the present embodiment, such as ball jump stability. In particular, if the main body frame base plate 2a is distorted or the like, this problem appears remarkably, and the above-mentioned specific effects cannot be achieved.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the fasteners 27 are respectively provided at positions facing the upper and lower four corners of the game board 1 of the main body frame base plate 2a, and the four fasteners 27a to 27d are provided on the back surface of the main body frame base plate 2a. The game board 1 is provided with a single fastener 27e at a predetermined position of the main body frame base plate 2a in order to firmly and firmly hold it, and at least fix the lower center of the game board 1 to the main body frame base plate 2a. The inner rail base end region 1 is pressed against the main body frame base plate 2a to be closely fixed. As a result, the position of the guide rail (the facing position of the outer rail 36 on the main body frame 2 and the inner rail 37 on the game board 1) is not shifted, and the characteristic of the present embodiment such as stable ball jumping does not occur. Execution of the effect can be achieved.

  Conventionally, a configuration in which the liquid crystal display device 4 is directly disposed on the back side of the game board 1 is often employed. However, in such a configuration, when the game board 1 is replaced / discarded, the liquid crystal display device 4 is also replaced / discarded together, resulting in an increase in cost. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the game board 1 can be made inexpensive because the game board 1 is disposed on the main body frame 2 and the liquid crystal display device 4 is disposed on the rear frame 5 on the back side thereof. In addition, the liquid crystal display device 4 can be reused.

  Further, the main body frame 2 is provided with a speaker 10c for performing an effect by sound at the center of the lower portion of the main body frame opening 2h. Note that the sound emitted from the speaker 10c is the speaker cover 10k (see FIG. 45) provided in the part of the dish unit 8 of the front frame 3 (specifically, the part between the upper dish 17 and the lower dish 18). , See FIG. 46 and FIG. 144).

  Here, the back side of the speaker 10c is covered by a cover member 38 provided on the back surface of the main body frame 2 (see FIG. 50). In this case, the cover member 38 is covered with various kinds of harnesses, cords, and the like. It is preferable to provide a wiring holding mechanism for holding the wiring 39. In FIG. 147, as an example of the wiring holding mechanism, a configuration is shown in which a holding piece 40 that holds the wiring 39 between each cover member 38 is held, but the configuration is limited to this configuration. However, as other methods, for example, a method of holding various wirings 39 on each cover member 38 with an adhesive tape (not shown), or a screw with a washer (not shown) is fastened to each cover member 38. A method of holding the various wirings 39 between the washer and each cover member 38 can also be applied.

  By the way, the main body frame 2 is provided with electrical components (for example, the launching device 26, the main control board 28, the relay board 32, etc.) important for the gaming machine, including the gaming board 1 described above. For this reason, it is required that the main body frame 2 is not easily unlocked from the outer frame 6 (see FIG. 45). Further, the main body frame 2 is rotatably supported by the outer frame 6 via a main body frame hinge 2b (see FIG. 45), and a main body provided on the upper right side of the above-described panel body 26a of the launching device 26. The main body frame 2 can be opened from the outer frame 6 by inserting and rotating a predetermined opening / closing key (not shown) into the frame opening / closing key hole 41 (see FIGS. 45, 46 and 146).

  In this case, for example, an unauthorized instrument (or an unauthorized member) such as a piano wire is inserted into the rear surface of the main body frame 2 from the main body frame opening / closing key hole 41 or the vicinity thereof, and the main body frame opening / closing key hole 41 is disposed behind the main body frame opening / closing key hole 41. An unauthorized act of unlocking the locking device by directly accessing the constructed locking device (not shown) is assumed. Therefore, in order to prevent the main body frame 2 from being easily opened (that is, the locking device is not easily unlocked), the entire periphery of the locking device on the back surface of the main body frame 2 (see FIG. 147) is the cover member 42. Covered by. Thereby, the above-mentioned fraudulent acts can be prevented in advance.

<Rear frame 5>
The rear frame 5 includes a rear frame base plate 5a and various rear frame constituent members provided in the rear frame base plate 5a. The rear frame constituent members include various electric components including the liquid crystal display device 4. Note that the rear frame constituent members are not limited to these, and all members constituting the rear frame 5 are included.

  As shown in FIG. 151, in the rear frame 5, the rear frame base plate 5 a includes various electrical components (the liquid crystal display device 4, the sub control board 33, and a sub relay board 43 that transfers signals to the sub control board 33. , A sub-ROM relay board 44 in which a program related to game effects is stored, a power supply board 45 for supplying power, and the like.

  In this case, the rear frame 5 is provided with a liquid crystal display device 4 at a position facing the front frame opening 3h, the main body frame opening 2h, and the game board opening 1h. Specifically, the liquid crystal display device 4 is detachably provided on the front surface (front surface) of the rear frame base plate 5a of the rear frame 5 at a position facing the back surface of the main body frame 2 (see FIG. 150). . In this case, the display mode of the liquid crystal display device 4 is controlled by the sub control board 33 based on the command from the main control board 28. For example, in this embodiment, a liquid crystal display (LCD: Liquid Crystal Display) is assumed as the liquid crystal display device 4.

  In the rear frame 5, the liquid crystal display device 4, the sub control board 33, the sub ROM relay board 44, the sub relay board 43, the dispensing / launch control board 34, the power board 45, etc. For example, it is preferable to accommodate the electrical component housing members 4a, 33a, 44a, 43a, 34a, and 45a having predetermined shapes.

  In this embodiment, the electrical component housing members 4a, 33a, 44a, 43a, 34a, and 45a are configured to be able to be confirmed internally with a transparent synthetic resin material. The first surface portion 60 that houses various electrical components, And a second surface portion 61 which is the back surface (opposite surface). Although not particularly illustrated, each electrical component includes a connector, and is electrically connected via a predetermined wiring (for example, an assembled wire in which a plurality of wires are bundled, a so-called harness) 515. The wiring 515 has a connector at one end, and the connector is connected to a connector of a predetermined electrical component.

  In addition, the present embodiment is also characterized in that a wiring holding member (also referred to as a harness case) 500 that holds the wiring is provided (see FIGS. 174 to 177).

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control board 33, the sub-relay board 43, and the sub-ROM relay board 44 that constitute the back unit are respectively connected to the second part of the electrical component housing member (liquid crystal bracket) 4a that houses the liquid crystal display device 4. Are arranged in a row in the horizontal direction (rear side) 61, and each adopts a form (Board to Board) in which connectors are directly connected to each other. In this embodiment, the sub control board 33, the sub relay board 43, and the sub ROM relay board 44 are covered with a single transparent cover member (not shown) so as to be opened and closed.

  In the present embodiment, the electric component housing member (liquid crystal bracket) 4 a is configured to be detachable from the rear frame base plate 5 a of the rear frame 5. The electrical component housing member (liquid crystal bracket) 4a has a pair of insertion pieces (not shown) protruding at one end in the longitudinal direction at a predetermined interval, and a screwing piece 4a-1 that can be screwed to the other end. , 4a-1 project from each other in the vertical direction (see FIG. 150). A pair of insertion piece insertion holes (not shown) are provided at predetermined positions on the rear frame base plate 5a, and a pair of female screw portions (not shown) are provided at predetermined positions on the opposite rear frame base plate 5a. Yes. Therefore, when the electric component housing member (liquid crystal bracket) 4a is attached to the rear frame base plate 5a, each not-shown insertion piece of the electric component housing member (liquid crystal bracket) 4a is inserted into each not-shown insertion piece insertion hole. Then, the screwing pieces 4a-1 and 4a-1 are screwed and fixed to female screw portions (not shown).

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the sub control board 33 and the sub control board 33 are mounted on the second surface portion 61 of the liquid crystal bracket (electrical component housing member) 4a for housing the liquid crystal display device 4 by screwing or fitting, for example. A unit configuration in which the relay board 43 and the sub ROM relay board 44 are integrated is adopted, and this unit configuration is changed from the rear frame base plate 5a to the screwing piece 4a-1 of the liquid crystal bracket (electrical component housing member) 4a as described above. The liquid crystal display device 4, the sub-control board 33, the sub-relay board 43, and the sub-ROM relay board 44 can be integrated and easily attached and detached simply by removing and attaching the screws fixing the screws 4a-1. Therefore, a test of the liquid crystal display device 4 (for example, a test of whether or not the liquid crystal display device 4 operates normally) can be easily performed with this unit configuration.

  As a result, not only can the sub control board 33, the sub relay board 43, and the sub ROM relay board 44 be separately replaced independently, but also only different sub ROM relay boards 44 can be used to execute various different effects. It becomes possible. In this case, regarding the sub ROM relay board 44, in order to prevent illegal acts such as falsification and reading (duplication) of the program, it is possible to visually check whether or not the sub ROM relay board 44 is illegally accessed. 46 "(see FIG. 54). “Caulking” means sealing, insulation locking (binding), and the like.

  Further, on the back surface of the rear frame 5 (see FIG. 151), for example, a ball tank 47 for storing game balls to be paid out as rental balls or prize balls, and a plurality of game balls from the ball tank 47 are continuously provided. A rail unit 48 to be rolled down, a payout device 35 (specifically, covered by a payout device case 49) that can be continued to the lower end of the rail unit 48, and a payout from the payout device 35 A ball payout passage (not shown) for supplying the played game balls to the upper plate 17 is continuously provided.

  In such a configuration, if a game ball launched into the game area 1p wins a general winning opening 30, for example, a signal that detects this is transmitted to the main control board 28. At this time, a command for giving out a predetermined number of game balls is output from the main control board 28 (see FIG. 149) to the payout / firing control board 34 (see FIG. 151), and payout / firing control is performed based on the payout command. By controlling the payout device 35 by the substrate 34, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out one by one by the payout device 35 among the plurality of game balls rolling down the rail unit 48 from the ball tank 47. It flows down the passage (not shown) and is supplied to the upper plate. 151, since the payout device 35 is housed in the payout device case 49, the outline of the payout device is not shown by indicating the housing position with the reference numeral 35.

  Here, in the conventional gaming machine, the game board is detachably provided on the front surface (front frame side) of the main body frame, and the liquid crystal display device is provided on the front surface (main body frame side) of the rear frame. What is provided so that attachment or detachment is possible is known. Therefore, when it is desired to remove both the game board and the liquid crystal display device at the time of maintenance, etc., the following steps have to be performed.

  First, when it is desired to remove the game board from the main body frame, it is necessary to rotate the front frame with respect to the main body frame. When it is desired to remove the liquid crystal display device from the rear frame, the main body frame needs to be rotated with respect to the outer frame, and then the rear frame needs to be rotated with respect to the main body frame. Therefore, the corresponding frame must be rotated at least three times (for example, the main body frame is rotated with respect to the outer frame, and both the front frame and the rear frame are rotated with respect to the main body frame).

  On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the game board 1 is detachably provided on the back surface (see FIG. 146) of the main body frame 2, and the liquid crystal display device 4 is opposed to the back surface (back surface) of the main body frame 2. In this position, it is detachably provided on the front surface (front surface) (see FIG. 150) of the rear frame 5 so that both the game board 1 and the liquid crystal display device 4 can be removed with one touch (the main body frame 2 and the rear frame). 5), it can be efficiently performed. In addition, as a method of attaching the liquid crystal display device 4, the liquid crystal display device 4 may be detachably provided not only on the front surface (front surface) of the rear frame 5 but also on the rear surface of the rear frame 5.

  The payout device case 49 covering the payout device 35 is rotatably supported at the lower end of the rail unit 48 via a hinge mechanism 50 provided on the upper end side of the payout device 35 and rotates the payout device case 49. Thus, in the state where the dispensing device 35 is exposed (see FIG. 152), the posture at that time can be maintained. Therefore, a first locking piece 49a is provided on the upper end side of the dispensing device case 49, and a second locking piece 48a on which the first locking piece 49a can be locked is provided on the lower end side of the rail unit 48. Provided (see FIGS. 152 and 153).

  In this case, the first locking piece 49a and the second locking piece 48a have such a shape that their parts (tip portions) are hooked to each other. Here, when the dispensing device case 49 is rotated to expose the dispensing device 35, the first locking piece 49a and the second locking piece 48a are hooked to each other. The posture in which the device 35 is exposed is maintained. On the other hand, when the dispensing device case 49 is rotated in the opposite direction, the catch between the first locking piece 49a and the second locking piece 48a is released following this, and the corresponding dispensing The dispensing device 35 can be covered by the device case 49.

  The payout device 35 can be switched between a position where the game ball can be paid out (see FIG. 154) and a position where the game ball can be removed (see FIG. 155). In this case, at the position where the game ball can be paid out, the payout device 35 is in a state where the lower end surface 35a is supported by the detachment mechanism 51, and the upper end surface 35b abuts on the rail unit 48 described above. Yes. The detaching mechanism 51 includes a detachable lever 53 that is rotatably supported by a rotating shaft 52. One end of the detachable lever 53 comes into contact with the lower end surface 35a of the payout device 35, whereby the payout device 35 is The upper end surface 35b abuts on the rail unit 48 while being supported by the detaching mechanism 51 (detaching lever 53) (see FIG. 154). As a result, the rail unit 48 (specifically, the ball passage 48a built in the rail unit 48) and the dispensing device 35 communicate with each other, thereby rolling down the rail unit 48 (ball passage 48a). The game ball can be introduced into the payout device 35.

  On the other hand, in the position where the detachment is possible (see FIG. 155), the detachable lever 53 is rotated and one end thereof is avoided from the lower end surface 35a of the dispensing device 35 (that is, the detachable mechanism 51 (the detachable lever 53). ) Is released), and thus the dispensing device 35 can be slid downward. In this case, the payout device 35 can be easily detached from the rear surface of the rear frame 5 by sliding the payout device 35 downward and then pulling it forward.

  By the way, when the payout device 35 is removed, the game ball from the ball tank 47 rolls down on the rail unit 48 (ball passage 48a), so that the game ball is transferred to the rail unit 48 (ball passage 48a). It is assumed that it will flow out and fall. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, a ball drop prevention mechanism 54 (see FIGS. 154 to 156 (a)) is provided on the back surface of the rear frame 5.

  As shown in FIG. 156 (a), the ball drop prevention mechanism 54 is constructed on the lower end side of the rail unit 48 described above, and the ball drop prevention mechanism cover body 48p is detachably attached to the rail unit 48. Is housed inside. In this case, the ball drop prevention mechanism 54 always urges the ball drop prevention main body 55 having a ball stopper 55p protruding toward the ball passage 48a of the rail unit 48 and the ball drop prevention main body 55 toward the ball passage. And a moving means for moving the ball drop prevention main body 55 in a direction away from the ball passage 48a against the urging force of the urging means 56. In the drawing, a compression coil spring is shown as an example of the urging means 56, but an air spring using the elastic force of compressed air may be used instead.

  The moving means includes a lever 57 rotatably supported by the ball drop prevention mechanism cover body 48p, and a front end portion 57a of the lever 57 (specifically, an inclined surface 55s to be described later in the front end portion 57a). The abutting portion 57p) can be abutted and has an inclined surface 55s formed on the ball drop preventing main body 55. The inclined surface 55s is configured to extend along the protruding direction of the ball stopper 55p and form a gradient along a direction away from the ball stopper 55p. Note that the gradient (inclination angle) of the inclined surface 55s is set according to, for example, the shape and size of the ball drop prevention main body 55, and is not particularly limited here. In addition, the lever 57 is pivotally supported by the rail unit 48 at a rotation shaft 58 provided at the base end portion 57 b.

  Further, in order to make the direction in which the ball drop prevention main body 55 is moved by the moving means constant, a guide piece 59 is extended to the end face of the ball drop prevention main body 55, and the guide piece 59 is a rail unit. It can move along a guide groove (not shown) extending to 48. In this case, the extending direction of the guide groove and the guide piece 59 is defined as a direction in which the ball stopper 55p can be inserted into the ball passage 48a of the rail unit 48 or the ball stopper 55p can be escaped from the ball passage 48a. be able to.

  In such a configuration, when the tip 57a is pressed and the lever 57 is rotated, the contact 57p of the tip 57a contacts the inclined surface 55s of the ball drop prevention main body 55, and the contact force at this time is the inclined surface. The component is divided into a component perpendicular to 55s and a component in the inclination direction along the inclined surface 55s. For this reason, if the tip 57a is continuously pressed against the inclined surface 55s and a contact force against the inclined surface 55s is continuously applied, the guide piece 59 moves in one direction along the guide groove. The ball drop prevention main body 55 can be moved in the same direction against the urging force of the urging means 56 (in other words, retracted from the ball passage 48a) (see FIG. 156 (c)). On the other hand, when the pressing force on the lever 57 is released, at the same time, only the urging force of the urging means 56 acts on the ball drop prevention main body 55, and accordingly, the guide piece 59 is moved along the guide groove. By moving in the direction, the ball drop prevention main body 55 can be moved in the same direction (in other words, advanced toward the ball passage 48a) (see FIG. 156 (b)).

  Therefore, in a state where such a ball drop prevention mechanism is provided in the rail unit 48, when the payout device 35 is in a position where the game ball can be paid out (see FIG. 154), the tip end portion 57a is formed by the upper end surface 35b of the payout device 35. The lever 57 is rotated by being pressed, and as a result, a contact force is applied to the inclined surface 55s of the ball drop prevention main body 55 from the contact portion 57p of the tip end portion 57a. By retreating against the urging force of 56, the ball stopper 55p can escape from the ball passage 48a (see FIGS. 154 and 156 (c)). At this time, the rail unit 48 (ball passage 48 a) and the payout device 35 communicate with each other, so that the game balls rolling down the rail unit 48 (ball passage 48 a) can be introduced into the payout device 35.

  On the other hand, when the payout device 35 is in a detachable position (see FIG. 155), the pressing state of the tip end portion 57a of the lever 57 by the upper end surface 35b of the payout device 35 is released. Only the urging force of the urging means 56 acts on the ball drop prevention main body 55, and as a result, the ball drop prevention main body 55 moves forward so that the ball stopper portion 55p can enter the ball passage 48a (FIG. 155). FIG. 156 (b)). As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a problem that the game ball flows out of the rail unit 48 (ball path 48a) and falls.

<About transparent plate unit>
The transparent plate unit 7 provided in the front frame 3 includes a first transparent plate 100 located on the near side as viewed from the player side when the gaming machine is installed in the island facility, and the first transparent plate 100. The second transparent plate 101 located behind the first transparent plate 100, and the first transparent plate 100 and the first transparent plate 100 with the predetermined space 102 disposed between the first transparent plate 100 and the second transparent plate 101. The transparent plate holding frame 103 that holds the second transparent plate 101 is provided (see FIGS. 157 to 159). In the present embodiment, the first transparent plate 100 and the second transparent plate 101 employ the same glass plate having a predetermined shape and a predetermined thickness.

  The transparent plate holding frame 103 has holding portions 103a and 103a for holding the first transparent plate 100 and the second transparent plate 101 in the front and rear, respectively, and is arranged between the holding portion 103a and the holding portion 103a. The intermediate portion 103b has a plurality of communication holes 104 communicating with a predetermined space 102 formed between the first transparent plate 100 and the second transparent plate 101 (FIG. 159). . The first transparent plate 100 and the second transparent plate 101 are integrally fixed to the holding portions 103a and 103a of the transparent plate holding frame 103 through an adhesive, respectively.

  The communication holes 104 are a first communication hole 104a and a second communication hole 104b provided at positions facing each other in the vertical direction. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the first communication hole 104a and the second communication hole 104b are provided at the opposite positions of the transparent plate holding frame 103, they pass through the space 102 from the outside of the transparent plate unit 7. Thus, an air flow path that escapes outward is effectively formed (FIGS. 158 and 159).

  In addition, the first communication hole 104a and the second communication hole 104b are provided at positions that do not contact the front frame opening (window) 3h of the front frame base plate 3a. In other words, the hole is not blocked by the grounding surface of the opening, and the air flow path is not blocked by this configuration. In the present embodiment, each of the first communication hole and the second communication hole is formed by a group of three holes.

  Note that the first transparent plate and the second transparent plate are in a state of rolling down of the game ball of the game board 1 provided in the main body frame 2 located at the rear, and various effects (effects movable effect and image effects) Etc.) As long as the material does not impair the visibility of the situation, the material may not be a glass plate, for example, a transparent synthetic resin plate material.

  The communication hole 104 is not limited to the present embodiment in terms of the hole diameter, the number and position of the communication holes, and the optimum specification is adopted in consideration of strength and air permeability.

  A plurality of communication holes 104 (104a, 104b) provided in the transparent plate holding frame 103 allows a space 102 between the two transparent plates 100, 101 from one of the communication holes 104 (104a, 104b) and other communication. Since an air flow path through which air flows to the holes 104 (104a, 104b) is secured, moisture in the space can be effectively removed without a desiccant chamber or a desiccant. Accordingly, there is no risk of increasing the overall size of the transparent plate unit 7, and a high cost can be suppressed because a desiccant is not required.

  As a method for attaching the transparent plate unit 7 to the back surface of the front frame 3, for example, the following configuration is employed in the present embodiment (see FIG. 144). The transparent plate unit 7 is mounted and positioned from the back side of the front frame opening 3h along the transparent plate unit mounting portion 105 provided in the front frame opening 3h, and the lower end surface of the transparent plate unit 7 in this state 7a is placed on a pedestal 108 formed in a region below the assembling portion of the front frame opening 3h, and then the upper side of the front frame opening 3h, that is, the front frame base plate 3a above the front frame opening 3h. A pressing force is applied to the upper end surface of the transparent plate unit 7 (left and right tongue pieces 107 provided on the upper end of the transparent plate holding frame 103) by the fasteners 106 and 106 provided on the back surface of the transparent plate. And fix it. Thereby, the transparent plate unit 7 can be detachably attached to the back surface of the front frame 3 while being sandwiched between the respective fasteners 106 and the pedestal 108.

  The form of the transparent plate unit, that is, the form of the transparent plate and the transparent plate holding frame is not construed as being limited to this embodiment, and the design can be changed as appropriate within the scope of the present invention.

<About the ball passage cover>
As described above, the lower plate cover 8b of the lower plate 18 constituting the table frame constituent member is attached to the table frame base plate 3a via the locking structure (see FIG. 45). That is, the lower plate cover 8b includes a locking portion 203 that protrudes in the horizontal direction rearward, and the front frame base plate 3a has a locking hole 204 that can lock the locking portion 203 of the lower plate cover 8b. It is provided through a predetermined position (see FIGS. 160 and 162).

  The locking portion 203 is provided with a thin plate-like main body 203a that protrudes horizontally from the lower plate cover 8b, and a substantially arrowhead-type locking claw that is provided at the tip of the main body 203a and that can be locked to the periphery of the locking hole 204. Part 203b. Thus, since the lower plate cover 8b is attached to the front frame base plate 3a via the locking structure, it can be detached when the locked state is released.

  In the present embodiment, the locking claw portion 203b of the lower plate cover 8b locked in the locking hole 204 in this way cannot be easily removed except when necessary. A holding portion 202 that can hold the locked state is provided. The holding unit 202 of the present embodiment adopts a configuration in which the discharge port 19 and the supply port 20 provided in the front frame base plate 3a are connected to the supply passage 20 so as to be integrated with the spherical passage cover 21a that forms the spherical passage 21. (See FIGS. 160 and 162).

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 160, the ball passage cover 21a is composed of two members, an upper cover 200 and a lower cover 201, which are detachably attached to the front frame base plate 3a. In the present embodiment, when the lower cover 201 is attached to the front frame base plate 3a, the locking hole 204 is located on the side of the lower cover 201. A holding portion 202 that holds the locking state of the portion 203 and the locking hole 204 is integrally provided, and the holding portion 202 functions as a drop-off prevention portion that prevents the locking claw portion 203b from dropping off ( 160).

  The holding portion 202 is a plate-like member that protrudes in the horizontal direction from the side surface (the right side surface in the drawing) of the lower cover 201, and when the lower cover 201 is attached and fixed to a predetermined position of the front frame base plate 3a, The holding portion 202 is provided so as to cross a predetermined position of the locking hole 204 (see FIGS. 160 and 162). The shape of the holding unit 202 is not limited to the illustrated form.

  That is, the latching claw portion 203b is inserted from the front of the front frame base plate 3a in a state where it is pushed down against its elasticity, and its elastic return is returned on the back side of the front frame base plate 3a. It is locked to the upper peripheral edge of the locking hole 204 by force. When the lower cover 201 is attached and fixed at a predetermined position of the front frame base plate 3a, the drop-off prevention portion (holding portion) 202 is engaged with the locking claw portion 203a that is locked to the upper peripheral edge of the locking hole 204. It is located immediately below (see FIGS. 160 and 162).

  Therefore, if the ball passage cover 21a (lower cover 201) connecting the upper plate 17 and the lower plate 18 is disposed on the back side of the front frame base plate 3a as usual, the holding portion of the ball passage cover 21a (lower cover 201). (Falling prevention portion) 202 locks the lower plate cover (table frame constituent member) 8a that is detachably provided on the front frame base plate 3a through a locking structure including the locking portion 203 and the locking hole 204. Can not be inadvertently released, and the ball path cover 21a (lower cover 201) can also be used for functions other than the function as the ball path 21, thereby increasing the usefulness of the ball path cover.

  Moreover, the latching claw 203b of the lower plate cover (table frame constituent member) 8a is configured to be easily detachable so as to be latched by the latching hole 204 of the table frame base plate 3a against its elasticity. While it is easy to attach the lower plate cover (table frame constituent member) 8a, if the ball passage cover 21a (lower cover 201) is attached to the back side of the table frame base plate 3a, the ball passage cover 21a (lower cover 201) is attached. The provided drop prevention part (holding part) 202 suppresses the downward movement of the locking claw part 230b immediately below the locking claw part 203b. Dropout is easily prevented.

  Note that the configuration of the holding portion (drop-off preventing portion) that prevents the table frame constituent member from being released is not limited to the present embodiment. That is, the front frame base member 3a is detachably attached to the front frame base plate 3a via the locking structure, and the locking portion of the front frame base member is located on the back side of the front frame base plate 3a. The structure of the holding portion differs depending on whether the holding portion is locked. Further, the holding portion (drop-off preventing portion) may be attached so as to prevent the locking claw portion locked to the locking hole as a single unit, but the locking claw portion is locked. If there is a front frame constituent member that is detachably provided on the back side of the front frame base plate 3a in the vicinity of the locking hole, a holding part (falling prevention part) is integrally formed with the front frame constituent member. That's fine.

<About the connector cover>
The left decorative member 16 is a member for effecting decoration with light. For example, as shown in FIGS. 45, 46 and 163 to 166, an electronic component (for example, light emitting means, LED: Light Emitting Diode) is provided. A left relay substrate (also referred to as a glass left relay substrate) 300 to be mounted, a left light guide lens 302 made of an insulating material that guides light emitted from the light emitting means in a predetermined direction, and guided through the left light guide lens 302. The upper left lens 16b and the left outer lens 16a for diffusing the emitted light are composed of a terminal 301a for electrical connection to the lower end of the left relay substrate 300 via an electrical component and wiring (harness). A connector 301 is provided.

  In the present embodiment, a plating member 17b is used for an upper plate front decoration (also referred to as a first decorative member) 17c for decorating the upper plate 17 provided on the front surface of the front frame 3, and an end portion of the plating member 17b is The left decorative member (also referred to as second decorative member) 16 is disposed adjacent to the position opposite to the connector 301 of the left relay board 300 (see FIGS. 45, 46, 163, and 164).

  Such a plated member 17b has the effect of gracefully decorating the entire gaming machine and enhancing the decoration effect, but the plated member 17b is easily charged with static electricity. Therefore, when static electricity is discharged directly from the plating member 17b of the upper dish front decoration 17c to the connector 301 (specifically, the terminal 301a) of the left relay board 300 in the immediate vicinity, it is mounted on the left relay board 300. There is a risk of hindering (damaging) electronic components such as LEDs. That is, the creepage distance (Creage Distance) between the connector 301 and the factor location that discharges static electricity (the plated member 17b of the upper dish front decoration 17c) is short. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a connector cover (insulator) 303 that covers the connector 301 of the left relay board 300 is provided, and causes of discharging static electricity (plating member 17b of the upper dish front decoration 17c) and the connector 301 (specifically, The creeping distance from the terminal 301a) is increased.

  In the present embodiment, the left relay substrate 300 is formed in an approximately same shape as the planar shape, and is disposed on the left relay substrate 300 and is made of an insulator that guides light from the left relay substrate 300 forward. A connector cover 303 that covers the connector 301 of the left relay substrate 300 is formed integrally with a part of the left light guide lens 302 (see FIG. 165). That is, a predetermined position on the inner surface facing the left light guide lens 302 is recessed in a box shape so as to cover the connector 301 provided so as to protrude below the surface of the left relay substrate 300 (a box on the outer surface). The connector cover 303 (which protrudes in a shape) is integrally formed. The connector cover 303 may be configured as a separate part from the left light guide lens 302.

  FIG. 166 (a) is a schematic view when the creepage distance to the connector 301 (specifically, the terminal 301a) is increased because the connector cover 303 in this embodiment is integrally provided in the left light guide lens 302. FIG. 166 (b) shows a schematic view when the creepage distance to the connector 301 is short when the connector cover is not provided. The arrow in each figure shows the flow of static electricity discharged from the first decorative member (plating member 17b). When the creepage distance is short, static electricity is directly discharged to the connector 301. However, when the left light guide lens 302 that is an insulator integrally provided with the connector cover 303 is provided as in this embodiment, the creepage distance becomes long. Static electricity is not directly discharged to the connector 301 (terminal 301a).

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the decorative member (the left decorative member 16) provided with the control board (the left relay board 300) adjacent to the decorative member (the upper dish front ornament 17c) provided with the plating member 17b. Is provided with the connector cover 303 for taking a creepage distance between the terminal of the connector 301 provided on the control board (the left relay board 300) and the plating member 17b. It is possible to prevent static electricity from being discharged directly.

  According to this embodiment, since the connector cover 303 is integrally provided on the left light guide lens 302 made of an insulating material, it is possible to prevent static electricity from being directly discharged to the terminals of the connector 301 without deteriorating the aesthetic appearance. In addition, since the left light guide lens 302 is disposed, the connector cover 303 is also disposed at the same time, so that a dedicated cover for the connector is not separately prepared, and the manufacturing cost and work cost are reduced. Can do.

The firing stop button 26e is always urged in the direction in which the pressing unit 403 moves away from the firing stop switch (also referred to as detection means) 26g (a state in which a game ball can be launched). By pressing, the pressing portion 403 comes into contact with a firing stop switch (also referred to as detection means) 26g, and the launch of the game ball is stopped.

  FIG. 170 shows a state in which the pressing unit 403 is in contact with the firing stop switch (also referred to as detection means) 26g (game ball launch stop state), and FIG. A state where the unit 403 is separated (a state where a game ball can be launched) is shown.

  The sliding portion 404 is formed of a member excellent in sliding performance, for example, a self-lubricating member such as polyacetal (Polyacetal POM), polyamide (polyamide), or polyethylene (polyethylene). The operation unit 402 is a flame retardant member such as a flame retardant V-0 grade, for example, a flame retardant member such as polycarbonate (polycarbonate PC), polystyrene (polystyrene PS), or flame retardant ABS resin (FR-ABS). Is formed.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the firing stop button (operation member) 26e is formed of a self-lubricating material only in the sliding portion 404, and the operation portion 402 is formed of a flame retardant member. It is possible to provide a button mechanism that is resistant to a disaster such as a fire while maintaining the operability of the stop button (operation member) 26e. Therefore, even if the player operates the firing handle 26b while holding a cigarette with fire, even if the player tries to ignite the firing handle 26b to heal the game, the firing is stopped. Since the operation unit 402 of the button 26e is difficult to ignite, there is little risk of fire and safety is high.

  Although the operation unit 402 and the sliding unit 404 are arranged integrally, this means that the operation unit 402 and the sliding unit 404 need only be arranged so as to perform the same movement. Yes, it does not mean that it is integrally molded. For example, in the case of being united by being separable with an adhesive or the like and in the case of being united so as to be separable such as key connection or fitting, both are assumed, and are not construed as limiting in any way.

First, in a state where the wiring 515 is held in the wiring holding space 506 of the wiring holding member 500, each protrusion 507 of the wiring holding member 500 is inserted into each insertion hole 509 of the second surface portion 61, and then A Since the relationship is> B, the claw portion 508 b is inserted into the locking hole 510 against the elastic force of the locking claw portion 508. Thereby, the claw part 508b can be firmly latched to the latching hole 510 by the elastic force of the latching claw part 508 after insertion.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of rectangular through holes 513 are provided in the rear surface portion 503 of the wiring holding member 500. The hole shape and the number of holes of the through hole 513 are not particularly limited, and the position of the through hole 513 is not limited, and the design can be changed within the scope of the present invention. Further, even a form without the through hole 513 is within the scope of the present invention.

<About the operation unit 9>
As described above, the upper plate upper cover 8a that can be attached to and detached from the front frame 3 changes the display mode of various effects as the player operates (rotates and presses) during a predetermined game. As shown in FIGS. 178 to 186, the operation unit 9 is provided on the base member 600 detachably fixed to the upper plate upper cover 8 a as shown in FIGS. 178 to 186. In addition, a rotation operation mechanism 601 that can be operated by being rotated by a player and a pressing operation mechanism 602 that can be operated by being pressed by the player are integrally assembled. In the present embodiment, a configuration is assumed in which the rotation operation mechanism 601 is configured in a hollow ring shape, and a press operation mechanism 602 that forms a ring is interposed in the hollow ring region.

  As shown in FIG. 180, the pressing operation mechanism 602 includes a pressing operation means that allows the player to press and retract with, for example, a finger, and an elastic support means that elastically supports the pressing operation means so as to protrude and retract. And a pressing operation state detection unit that detects a pressing operation state of the pressing operation unit (for example, the number of protrusions and protrusions, a protrusion and depression timing, etc.).

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine having such a pressing operation mechanism 602 (operation unit 9) is provided with an effect execution means, whereby the pressing operation state of the pressing operation means is detected by the pressing operation state detection means. Thus, a predetermined effect can be executed. In this case, for example, the liquid crystal display device 4 (see FIG. 150), the sub control board 33 (see FIG. 151), or the like can be applied as the effect execution means.

  According to this, for example, assuming that an effect about a “command to press (push down) operation (press a button!)” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 4, the player presses according to the command. When the operation means is pressed (projection operation), based on the press operation (projection operation) at that time, a predetermined effect (for example, “press (projection operation) operation completed) on the liquid crystal display device 4 by the sub-control board 33. Etc.) is performed.

  Here, for example, a compression coil spring 603 can be applied as the elastic support means. According to such a configuration, the elastic support means (compression coil spring) 603 is interposed between the fixed base 604 (fixed on the base member 600) of the rotation operation mechanism 601 described later and the pressing operation means, Accordingly, the pressing operation means can be elastically supported so as to protrude and retract with respect to the base member 600 (fixed base 604) by the elastic force of the elastic support means (compression coil spring 603).

  Moreover, as an example of the pressing operation means, the button decoration board 606 in which the light emitting means 606a (for example, LED) is constructed on the pressing base 605, and the surface decoration member that the player's finger or the like touches during the pressing operation. 607 (a lens 607a, a diffusion sheet 607b, etc.) can be arranged to face each other. According to such a configuration, the light emitted from the light emitting means (LED) 606a can generate, for example, radiant light or diffused light having excellent aesthetics from the surface decoration member 607. Can be improved. The light emitting means (LED) 606a is controlled by the sub control board 33 (see FIG. 151).

  In this case, the button electrical decoration board 606 on which the light emitting means (LED) 606a is constructed and the surface decoration member 607 (the lens 607a, the diffusion sheet 607b) can be configured as the above-described effect execution means. Depending on the state of the light, the light emitted from the light emitting means (LED) 606a is irradiated onto the diffusion sheet 607b, so that the lens 607a generates, for example, radiated light or diffused light having excellent aesthetics according to the gaming state. be able to.

  In addition, as an example of the pressing operation state detection unit, a detection piece (also referred to as a detection member) 608 is provided on the press base 605, and a sensor substrate 609 for detecting the detection piece 608 is fixed to the base member 600. Can be configured. In such a configuration, the sensor substrate 609 is provided with a sensor unit 609s that detects a protruding state (for example, the number of protrusions and protrusions, a protrusion / retraction timing, etc.) of the detection piece 608 that protrudes and retracts together with the pressing base 605 (pressing operation means). ing. In this case, when the pressing operation is performed, for example, by detecting the number of protrusions and protrusions and the protrusion timing of the detection piece 608 that comes in and out (projects and retracts) with respect to the sensor unit 609s, It is possible to accurately detect the number of times the player presses the pressing operation means with, for example, a finger or the like, and the timing at which the player performs the protrusion and depression operation.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 180, the rotation operation mechanism 601 is supported on the base member 600, and the rotation operation means that the player can rotate with, for example, fingers, and the rotation that detects the rotation operation state of the rotation operation means. A plurality of spherical members 610 (for example, metal spheres, balls, and the like) that are provided between the operation state detection unit and are rotated between the rotation operation unit and the base member 600 and follow the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit. I have.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine having such a rotation operation mechanism 601 (operation unit 9) is provided with an effect execution means, whereby the rotation operation state of the rotation operation means is detected by the rotation operation state detection means. Thus, a predetermined effect can be executed. In this case, for example, the liquid crystal display device 4 (see FIG. 150), the sub control board 33 (see FIG. 151), or the like can be applied as the effect execution means.

  According to this, for example, assuming a case where an effect about “a command to be rotated (turn the jog dial!)” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 4, the player rotates the rotation operation means according to the command. When operated, a predetermined effect (for example, an effect on “rotation operation completion”) is executed on the liquid crystal display device 4 by the sub-control board 33 based on the rotation operation at that time.

  Here, as an example of the rotation operation means, there is a rotation housing 611 rotatably provided on the base member 600, and translucency that can be rotated by a player's finger, for example (light emitting means described later). Rotating cover 613 (which can transmit light from 612a) and rotating lens 614 interposed between rotating cover 613 and rotating housing 611 can be provided.

  The rotating housing 611, the rotating cover 613, and the rotating lens 614 are configured to be integrally combined with each other, whereby the rotating lens 614 and the rotating housing 611 are rotated together with the rotation operation of the rotating cover 613. Further, the above-described light emitting means 612a (for example, LED or the like) is constructed on the jog dial electrical decoration board 612, and the jog dial electrical decoration board 612 is fixed on the base member 600 while being mounted on the fixed base 604. It has come to be.

  In this case, the jog dial electrical decoration substrate 612, the rotating lens 614, and the rotating cover 613 on which the light emitting means (LED) 612a is constructed can be configured as the above-described effect executing means, and according to the state of the game, By irradiating the rotating lens 614 with light emitted from the light emitting means (LED) 612a, the rotating cover 613 can generate, for example, radiated light or diffused light having excellent aesthetics according to the gaming state.

  In addition, as an example of the rotation operation state detection unit, a sensor piece (also referred to as a detection member) 615 (see FIG. 182) is provided in the rotary housing 611, and a sensor for detecting the detection piece 615 rotating with the rotary housing 611. 616 (see FIG. 181) can be provided on the jog dial electrical decoration substrate 612. The detection piece 615 is provided on the surface 611f of the rotating housing 611 facing the jog dial electrical decoration board 612, is concentric with the rotation center of the rotating housing 611, and has a predetermined interval along the circumferential direction (for example, , At equal intervals).

  On the other hand, two sensors 616 are arranged in the circumferential direction along the position where each detection piece 615 rotating together with the rotating housing 611 can pass on the back surface 612t of the jog dial electrical decoration substrate 612 facing the front surface 611f of the rotating housing 611. The rotation state of the rotation housing 611 (that is, the rotation operation state of the rotation operation means) can be accurately detected by detecting that the detection piece 615 has passed through each sensor 616.

  Note that as an example of a detection method by the sensor 616, each sensor 616 may be configured by arranging a light emitting element 616a and a light receiving element 616b that receives light emitted from the light emitting element 616a to face each other. Accordingly, in each sensor 616, for example, the number of detection pieces 615 that have passed between the light emitting element 616a and the light receiving element 616b, the passage timing, and the like are detected. The rotational speed can be accurately detected.

  In such a rotation operation mechanism 601, a plurality of spherical members 610 are rotatably held one by one on the back surface 611t of the rotation housing 611 (the surface opposite to the surface 611f provided with the detection piece 615). The portions 611h are provided at a predetermined interval (for example, at equal intervals) along the circumferential direction (see FIG. 183). On the other hand, the base member 600 has the above-described surface 600f facing the back surface 611t of the rotating housing 611. A rolling surface 600s on which the spherical member 610 held by the holding portion 611h can roll is provided continuously in an annular shape along the circumferential direction (see FIG. 184).

  As a result, the plurality of spherical members 610 roll along with the base member 600 while being in contact with the back surface 611t of the rotating housing 611 opposite to the surface 611f provided with the detection piece 615. Instead of the holding portion 611h that holds the plurality of spherical members 610 rotatably one by one, a holding portion (not shown) that is continuous in an annular shape along the circumferential direction is configured, and the entire annular holding portion is configured. A plurality of spherical members 610 may be continuously arranged over the entire area. Moreover, about rolling surface 600s, you may make it apply | coat a lubricant here and improve the rolling property of the spherical member 610. FIG.

  As described above, the plurality of spherical members 610 that rotate following the rotation operation of the rotation operation means (the rotation cover 613) are interposed between the rotation operation means (the rotation housing 611) and the base member 600, Compared with the case where the spherical member 610 is not interposed, the rotational operability in the rotational operation means can be dramatically improved. According to this, since the rotation operation of the rotation operation means can be performed smoothly without feeling any sense of incongruity, the player can concentrate only on the game, and as a result, There is no reduction in interest.

  Furthermore, the structure (the back surface 611t on which the spherical member 610 is rotatably contacted) for rotating the rotation operation means smoothly (smoothly) with respect to one member (the rotation housing 611), and the rotation operation state of the rotation operation means. Since the number of parts required for the rotating operation means can be reduced by providing the structure for detecting (the surface 611f provided with the detection piece 615 of the rotating operation state detecting means), the corresponding amount is reduced accordingly. It is possible to reduce the cost of the rotation operation means and to thereby make the rotation operation means compact (space saving).

  By the way, as shown in FIGS. 185 and 186, the operation unit 9 as described above has a predetermined mounting mechanism in a state in which the rotation operation mechanism 601 and the pressing operation mechanism 602 are assembled and integrated on the base member 600. The pachinko gaming machine can be detachably mounted on the pachinko gaming machine, whereby the above-mentioned operating means (pressing operating means, rotating operating means) constituting the operating unit 9 are connected to the pachinko gaming machine. It can be detachably attached to.

  Here, the place where the operation unit 9 is mounted is not particularly limited because it is set according to the purpose of use or usage environment of the pachinko gaming machine including, for example, a part that is easily operated by the player. 185 and 186, as an example, a case is assumed where the operation unit 9 is detachably provided on the upper plate upper cover 8a constituting the table frame 3.

  The attachment mechanism is formed through the upper plate upper cover 8a, and the attachment hole 617 in which the operation unit 9 can be inserted and disposed, and the attachment hole 617 on the back surface (back surface) side of the upper plate upper cover 8a. A pair of mounting bosses 618 provided opposite to both sides of the upper plate upper cover 8a and a pair of mounting bosses 618 provided on both sides of the upper plate upper cover 8a. Fixing means for detachably fixing the operation unit 9 to the upper plate upper cover 8a through a pair of mounting bosses 618 in a state of being inserted and arranged.

  In this case, the pair of mounting bosses 618 is provided with a shaft portion 618a raised from the back surface (back surface) side of the upper plate upper cover 8a, and a head portion provided at the tip of the shaft portion 618a and larger than the shaft portion 618a. 618b. As the mounting boss 618, for example, a general screw can be used as the shaft portion 618a, and a washer that is larger than the shaft portion 618a can be configured as the head portion 618b. Further, the shape, size, etc. of the mounting hole 617 are not particularly limited because they are set according to the shape, size, etc. of the operation unit 9 (pressing operation means, rotation operation means) inserted and arranged here.

  In addition, with regard to the arrangement of the fixing means, for example, the operation unit 9 (press operation means, rotation operation means) described above may be constructed directly, or the operation unit 9 (press operation means, rotation operation means) may be constructed. You may build in the said base member 600 in the state assembled | attached and integrated on the base member 600. FIG. Here, as an example, a case is assumed in which fixing means is constructed on the base member 600.

  As shown in FIGS. 179, 184, and 186, the fixing means is formed so as to penetrate both sides of the operation unit 9 (base member 600), and the operation unit 9 (specifically, the rotation operation means) rotates. A pair of fixing elongated holes 619 that extend in an arc shape along the direction and can be moved to both ends in a state where the shaft portions 618a of the pair of mounting bosses 618 are inserted, and a pair of A head insertion / removal portion 619a formed on one end side of the fixing long hole 619 and capable of inserting / removing the head portions 618b of the pair of mounting bosses 618, and on the other end side of the pair of fixing long holes 619 And a head-retaining portion 619b that is formed and cannot be inserted into and removed from the head 618b of the pair of mounting bosses 618.

  According to such fixing means, first, the head unit 618b of the pair of mounting bosses 618 is inserted into the mounting hole 617 from the rotation operating mechanism 601 and the pressing operation mechanism 602 side while the operation unit 9 is inserted into the pair of fixing mechanisms. Inserted into the head insertion / removal part 619a on one end side of the long hole 619 at the same time (see FIG. 186), and in this state, the operation unit 9 (specifically, the base member 600) is rotated in one direction, The shaft portion 618 a of the mounting boss 618 is moved to the other end side of the pair of fixing long holes 619. At this time, the head portions 618b of the pair of mounting bosses 618 are in a state of being prevented from being detached by the head retaining portions 619b, and as a result, the operation unit 9 (base member 600) is attached to the pair of mounting bosses 618. It can be fixed and secured. As a result, the operation unit 9 is secured to the upper plate upper cover 8a via the pair of mounting bosses 618 in a state where the operation unit 9 is supported by the base member 600 so as to be able to be rotated (pressed).

  On the other hand, in a state in which the operation unit 9 is secured to the pair of mounting bosses 618, the operation unit 9 (specifically, the base member 600) is first rotated in the other direction, so that the pair The shaft portion 618 a of the mounting boss 618 is moved to one end side of the pair of fixing long holes 619. At this time, the heads 618b of the pair of mounting bosses 618 can be inserted and removed via the head insertion / removal portions 619a of the pair of fixing long holes 619. Thereby, the operation unit 9 (base member 600) can be removed from the pair of mounting bosses 618.

  As described above, according to the attachment mechanism using the pair of attachment bosses 618 and the fixing means (fixing long hole 619), the operation of attaching the operation unit 9 (pressing operation means, rotation operation means) to the upper plate upper cover 8a and Removal work can be done easily and in a short time with one touch. In addition, the attachment mechanism does not require any members such as attachment screws that have been required in the past, so that it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine and to attach and remove the operation unit 9 accordingly. The sex can be improved dramatically.

  Further, the plate unit 8 provided on the surface of the front frame 3 (the front frame base plate 3a) has an upper plate component (an upper plate left decoration 17a, an upper plate front decoration) so as to surround the upper plate upper cover 8a. In addition to 17c and the upper plate body 17p, there are provided, for example, a decorative member for decorating the upper plate, an upper plate lower cover, and the like (not shown). Since it is fixed from the side, it cannot be removed from the front frame 3 unless the front frame 3 is opened from the main body frame 2. Therefore, when the operation unit 9 is attached / detached to / from the upper plate upper cover 8a, the upper plate upper cover 8a is not removed unless all the upper plate components are removed with the front frame 3 opened. The operation unit 9 cannot be attached or detached. Thereby, the operation unit 9 cannot be easily removed by unauthorized access from the player side.

  Here, as an operation of attaching / detaching the operation unit 9 to / from the upper plate upper cover 8a, for example, after all the upper plate components are removed with the front frame 3 opened, and only the upper plate upper cover 8a is left. The operation unit 9 (the rotation operation mechanism 601 and the pressing operation mechanism 602) may be inserted into the attachment hole 617 from the back side of the upper plate upper cover 8a, or the upper plate upper cover 8a may be attached. Insert from the front surface (front surface) (see FIGS. 45 and 46) of the front frame 3 and fix the insertion tip 8p (see FIGS. 185 and 186) from the back surface (rear surface) side of the front frame 3 (for example, screw fixing) When the operation unit 9 is mounted / removed, the upper plate upper cover 8a is removed together with the upper plate component with the front frame 3 opened, and then the upper plate upper cover 8a is attached to the upper plate upper cover 8a. And above It may be caused to attach and detach the operation unit 9 in the same manner. In addition, you may make it fix a part or all of an upper plate structural member from the surface (front surface) side of the table frame 3. FIG.

<About the presser member of the light guide plate in the right decorative member>
As shown in FIG. 187, the right decorative member 15 (the upper right lens 15a, the right middle lens 15b, and the right panel cover 15c) has a light guide plate 700 that uniformly emits light from the end surface 700t on the inside thereof. A light emitting substrate 702 having a reflector 701 that reflects light, a first light emitting means 702a that emits light toward the end surface 700t of the light guide plate 700, and a second light emitting means 702b that emits light toward the reflector 701. The light guide plate 700 is positioned between the light guide plate 700 and the reflector 701 and the light emitting substrate 702 and is brought into contact with the light guide plate 700 so that the end face 700t faces the first light emitting means 702a. A pressing member 703 to be pressed.

  In the right decorative member 15, the light emitting substrate 702 is composed of two substrate members 702-1 and 702-2, and the pressing member 703 is also composed of two pressing members 703-1 and 703-2. In accordance with this, two light guide plates 700 described above are prepared, and these two light guide plates 700 are parallel to the first light emitting means 702a and have their end faces 700t opposed to the first light emitting means 702a. It is arranged in one direction. In such a configuration, each light guide plate 700 is sandwiched between the reflective sheet 704 and the translucent right panel unit, and one of the right stays 705 positioned on the reflective sheet 704 side. It is designed to be supported on the side.

  Specifically, the right panel unit includes a right panel sheet 706, a right panel cover 15c having a predetermined design, and a right side frame 707 covering the right panel cover 15c in order from the light guide plate 700 side. Has been. In such a configuration, by attaching the right side frame 707 to the right stay 705, the reflection sheet 704, each light guide plate 700, the right panel sheet 706, between the right side frame 707 and one side surface of the right stay 705, The right panel cover 15c is housed in a state where the right panel cover 15c is stacked in close contact with each other.

  In this case, when light is irradiated from the first light emitting means 702a to the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700, the light is uniformly spread along the light guide plate 700 and then reflected by the reflection sheet 704. Thus, light is emitted in a planar shape from each light guide plate 700 toward the right panel unit. The planar light passes through the right panel cover 15c from the right panel sheet 706, so that the design applied to the right panel cover 15c can be generated and displayed from the right side frame 707 according to the display mode by light. Therefore, the interest in games can be improved.

  In the right decorative member 15, the reflector 701 described above is supported on the other side surface of the right stay 705 (the surface opposite to the side on which the light guide plate 700 is supported). As a method for supporting the reflector 701 with respect to the right stay 705, for example, an existing method such as adhesion or screwing may be applied. As a result, the upper right lens 15a and the right middle lens 15b can be opposed to each other so as to surround the reflector 701.

  In this case, when the reflector 701 is irradiated with light from the second light emitting means 702b, the light randomly reflected from the reflector 701 passes through the upper right lens 15a and the right middle lens 15b, so that it has excellent aesthetics, for example, radiated light or diffused light. Light and the like can be generated, whereby a display mode by light can be changed, so that interest in games can be improved.

  By the way, when a plurality of LEDs 708 are applied as the first and second light emitting units 702a and 702b, for example, the second light emitting unit 702b has a plurality of LEDs 708 extending over the side surface (surface on the reflector 701 side) of the light emitting substrate 702. In the first light emitting means 702a, it is necessary to align a plurality of LEDs 708 in one direction in order to irradiate light along the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700. In this case, the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700 and the plurality of LEDs 708 are required to face each other without deviation.

  Therefore, the right decorative member 15 is provided with a pressing member 703 that positions and fixes each light guide plate 700 and has its end surface 700t opposed to the first light emitting means 702a (that is, a plurality of LEDs 708 aligned in one direction). It has been. In the drawing, as an example of the pressing member 703, a rectangular shape extending along the side surface in the vicinity of the end surface 700t of the light guide plate 700 is shown. Any shape can be used as long as it can be positioned in contact with the side surface near the end surface 700t of the optical plate 700.

  According to this, as shown in FIG. 188, the pressing member 703 is brought into contact with the side surface in the vicinity of the end surface 700t of the light guide plate 700, and in this state, the attachment portion 703a of the pressing member 703 is fixed to the right stay 705. Thus, the side surface near the end surface 700t of the light guide plate 700 is sandwiched between the pressing member 703 and the right stay 705. As a result, the side surface of the light guide plate 700 in the vicinity of the end surface 700t is positioned, and as a result, the end surface 700t can be made to face accurately and without misalignment along the alignment direction of the plurality of LEDs 708.

  In this case, it is preferable that the pressing member 703 protrude beyond the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700 so that a part thereof covers the light irradiation path in a state where the press member 703 is in contact with the light guide plate 700. . By doing so, the light emitted from the first light emitting means 702a (the plurality of LEDs 708 aligned in one direction) can be emitted toward the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700 without leakage. As for the shape and size of the pressing member 703 to protrude, for example, the size of the gap between the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700 and the first light emitting means 702a (a plurality of LEDs 708 aligned in one direction) Since it is set according to the configuration or the like, there is no particular limitation here.

  By the way, the right decorative member 15 is not limited to the above-described one, and may be configured as shown in FIG. 190, for example. That is, in the right decorative member 15 in FIG. 190, between the one side surface of the right stay 710 and the right side frame 711, the reflective sheet 712, two light guide plates 713 aligned in order from the right stay 710 side, a predetermined design. The right panel sheet 714 and the right panel cover 715 to which the above are applied are stacked and arranged. Further, the reflector 716 that reflects light, the light guide lens 717, the first light emitting means 718 a that irradiates light toward the end surface 713 t of the light guide plate 713, and the reflector 716 and the light guide. A light emitting substrate 718 having second light emitting means 718b that irradiates light toward the lens 717 is disposed to face the lens 717. In the right decorative member 15, the light guide lens 717 is composed of two lens members 717-1 and 717-2, and the light emitting substrate 718 is also composed of two substrate members 718-1 and 718-2. Yes.

  In such a configuration, when light is emitted from the first light emitting means 718a to the end face 713t of each light guide plate 713, the light is uniformly spread along the light guide plate 713 and then reflected by the reflection sheet 712. Thus, light is emitted from each light guide plate 713 in a planar shape. At this time, the planar light passes through the right panel cover 715 from the right panel sheet 714, so that the design applied to the right panel cover 715 is generated and displayed from the right side frame 711 according to the light display mode.

  Further, when light is irradiated from the second light emitting unit 718b to the reflector 716 and the light guide lens 717, light randomly reflected from the reflector 716 and the light guide lens 717 passes through the right outer lens 719 and the right inner lens 720. For example, it emits radiant light or diffused light that is excellent in aesthetics.

  Here, for example, when a plurality of LEDs 721 are applied as the first and second light emitting units 718a and 718b, the second light emitting unit 718b includes a plurality of light sources over the side surface (surface on the reflector 716 side) of the light emitting substrate 718. The LEDs 721 may be arbitrarily scattered, but in the first light emitting unit 718a, it is necessary to align the plurality of LEDs 721 in one direction so as to irradiate light along the end surface 713t of each light guide plate 713. In this case, it is required that the end surface 713t of each light guide plate 713 and the plurality of LEDs 721 face each other without deviation.

  Accordingly, each light guide plate 713 is also positioned and fixed on the right decorative member 15 shown in FIG. 190, and its end surface 713t is opposed to the first light emitting means 718a (that is, a plurality of LEDs 721 aligned in one direction). Although a member is provided, as such a member, a presser member 703 (a presser member constituted by two presser members 703-1 and 703-2) used in the right decorative member 15 shown in FIG. 187 is used. Can be reused as is.

  According to this, the pressing member 703 is brought into contact with the side surface in the vicinity of the end surface 713t of the light guide plate 713, and in this state, the attachment portion 703a of the pressing member 703 is fixed to the right stay 710. The side surface in the vicinity of the end surface 713t is sandwiched between the pressing member 703 and the right stay 710. Thereby, the side surface in the vicinity of the end surface 713t of the light guide plate 713 is positioned, and as a result, the end surface 713t can be made to face accurately and without deviation along the alignment direction of the plurality of LEDs 721.

  As described above, according to the pressing member 703 of the right decorative member 15, when the light emission display mode of the right decorative member 15 is changed, even if the shape of the reflector 701 or the configuration of the light emitting substrate 702 is changed, for example, Even if the model of the member 15 itself is changed (see FIGS. 187 and 190), since the presser member 703 used previously can be reused as it is, an increase in cost required for the change can be suppressed. .

  Further, by projecting a part of the pressing member 703 from the end surface 700t of each light guide plate 700 so as to cover the light irradiation path, from the first light emitting means 702a (a plurality of LEDs 708 aligned in one direction). Since all of the emitted light can be irradiated to the end surface 700t of the light guide plate 700 without omission, an excellent light emitting display mode with high accuracy and good appearance can be realized.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 189, the holding member 703b for holding the wiring 709 (for example, a cord and a harness) extending over the light emitting substrates 702-1 and 702-2 is provided on the pressing member 703-2. It is preferable to provide it. According to this, since it is possible to prevent the wiring 709 extending over the light emitting substrates 702-1 and 702-2 from being scattered, the wiring 709 is entangled with or caught by another member. Can be prevented in advance. In the above-described embodiment, the pressing member 703, the light emitting substrates 702 and 718, and the light guide lens 717 are assumed to be composed of two members, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the pressing member 703, Each of the light emitting substrates 702 and 718 and the light guide lens 717 may be configured as a single unit, or may be configured by combining three or more members. Further, the holding member 703b may be provided on the pressing member 703-1.

The first movable decorative member 801 has a reflecting surface 802a, 803a that reflects light, and at least one of both sides of the first movable decorative member 801 has a first position (see FIG. 190) and a second position (FIG. 192). And a second decorative member 802, 803 that can be displaced to the rear of the light emitting unit 800, and a rear decorative unit provided at the rear of the light emitting unit 800. The reflective surface portion 804a reflects light emitted from the light emitting unit 800. Material 804.

  Here, the light emitting means 800, the first and second movable decorative members 801, 802, 803, and the rear decorative member 804 are configured to be suspended from a top ornament base 805 constructed in the top ornament 14. Has been placed. As the light emitting means 800, for example, a commercially available light bulb or light emitting element (LED or the like) may be applied. Furthermore, the second movable decorative member is provided as a second right movable decorative member 802 and a second left movable decorative member 803 on both sides of the first movable decorative member 801 as an example here. The right side and the left side are defined based on the left-right direction when viewed from the player side.

  In the first movable decorative member 801, the reflection surface portions 801a and 801b described above are provided on the outer reflective member 801t and the inner reflective member 801s that constitute the first movable decorative member 801, respectively. The outer reflecting member 801t and the inner reflecting member 801s have a semicircular arc shape so as to partially surround the light emitting means 800, the inner reflecting member 801s is disposed to face the light emitting means 800, and the outer reflecting member 801t Both are fixed to a turntable 806 that rotates concentrically around the light emitting means 800 while being opposed to the outside of the reflecting member 801s.

It is comprised as the inner side reflection surface part 801b which reflects.
On the other hand, the reflection surface portion 801a is provided in a portion of the outer reflection member 801t opposite to the inner reflection member 801s (that is, the outer portion of the first movable decorative member 801), and a light emitting means (LED described later) ) It is configured as an outer reflective surface portion 801a that reflects light emitted from 809 or the like. In addition, it is preferable to give each reflective surface part 801a, 801b, for example, a height difference (step), an unevenness | corrugation, etc. in order to change the direction and angle of reflected light, in order to improve the production effect by light.

  According to this configuration, when the turntable 806 is rotated, the first movable decorative member 801 (the outer reflecting member 801t and the inner reflecting member 801s) can be turned along the periphery of the light emitting unit 800. As a result, each of the reflecting surface portions (the outer reflecting surface portion 801a and the inner reflecting surface portion 801b) can be displaced forward and backward of the light emitting means 800. In this case, when the first movable decorative member 801 is displaced to the front of the light emitting means 800 during the light emission of the light emitting means 800, the light emitted from the light emitting means 800 is rearward by the inner reflective surface portion 801b of the inner reflective member 801s. After being reflected, it is reflected forward from the reflective surface portion 804a of the rear decorative member 804 and emitted (emitted) from the top decoration 14 to the outside, that is, the player side.

  On the other hand, when the first movable decorative member 801 (the outer reflecting member 801t and the inner reflecting member 801s) is displaced to the rear of the light emitting means 800, the light emitted from the light emitting means 800 is directly applied from the top decoration 14 to the outside ( A component emitted (emitted) to the player side) and a component reflected forward by the inner reflective surface portion 801b of the inner reflective member 801s and emitted (emitted) to the outside (player side) from the top decoration 14 are polymerized. To do. At this time, the emitted (emitted) light is relatively stronger than the light reflected from the reflecting surface portion 804a of the above-described rear decorative member 804. Therefore, during the light emission of the light emitting means 800, the first movable decorative member. By turning 801, strong light emission and weak light emission can be repeated from the top decoration 14 to the outside (player side) at a predetermined timing.

  One end side of the second right and left movable decorative members 802 and 803 is supported by rotating shafts 807 and 808, and the rotating shafts 807 and 808 are rotated. Thus, it can be displaced to the first position (see FIG. 191) and the second position (see FIG. 192). The second right and left movable decorative members 802 and 803 are provided with reflecting surface portions 802a and 803a on the surfaces (front surfaces) facing the player side, respectively. In addition, it is preferable to give each reflective surface part 802a, 803a, for example, a height difference (level | step difference), an unevenness | corrugation, etc. for changing the direction and angle of reflected light, in order to improve the production effect by light.

  The rear decoration member 804 is fixed in a semicircular arc shape surrounding the rear side of the light emitting means 800, and a reflection surface portion 804 a is provided on the surface (front surface) facing the light emitting means 800. In addition, it is preferable to give the reflective surface portion 804a, for example, a height difference (step) or unevenness to change the direction and angle of the reflected light in order to enhance the effect of light.

  In such a patrol lamp accessory, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the light emission of the light emitting means 800, the turning of the first movable decorative member 801, the second right and left movable decorative members 802, 803 Movement to position 2 (see FIG. 192) is performed. In addition, as a case where predetermined conditions are satisfied, the case where it transfers to the other game state (for example, reach, jackpot) from the present game state can be assumed.

  Here, in a state where the second right and left movable decorative members 802 and 803 are displaced to the second position (see FIG. 192), the second right and left movable decorative members 802 and 803 are connected to the rear decorative member 804. The reflective surface portions 802a, 803a, 804a of the second right and left movable decorative members 802, 803 and the rear decorative member 804 form a series of rear reflective surface portions that are continuous with each other. At this time, the light emitted from the light emitting means 800 can be reflected from the reflecting surface portions 802a, 803a, and 804a of the second right and left movable decorative members 802 and 803 and the rear decorative member 804, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 208, the upper left portion 10ea of the enclosure 10e is formed so as to protrude to the upper right side of the lower plate 18. Moreover, the upper left part 10ea of the enclosure 10e is arrange | positioned so that the bottom part of the top plate main body 17p may be contacted. Furthermore, the lower left portion 10eb of the enclosure 10e is disposed so as to come into contact with the right end portion of the lower plate body 18p.

  As shown in FIG. 210, an opening 10ec that leads to a conduit (not shown) provided inside is provided at the lower right end of the enclosure 10e. Such a conduit and the opening 10ec propagate the sound emitted from the rear part of the speaker 10c to the inside of the enclosure 10e to the outside while resonating and enhancing, based on the principle of so-called Helmholtz resonance. The sound propagating from the opening 10ec to the outside is felt as a rich and powerful bass by overlapping with the sound emitted from the front part of the speaker 10c. Further, when sound is generated from the speaker 10c, air flows out from the opening 10ec to the outside in conjunction with the generation of the sound. In a state where no sound is generated from the speaker 10c, air does not flow out from the opening 10ec to the outside.

  According to such a speaker unit 10, since the left upper part 10ea of the enclosure 10e has a partially bulged shape, a sufficient volume can be secured, for example, compared to a rectangular parallelepiped enclosure, and a sufficient sound can be obtained from the speaker 10c. A powerful bass can be generated with pressure.

  Further, when sound is generated from the speaker 10c, at the same time, the wind can be sent out from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e with sufficient wind pressure.

  Further, when the sound is generated by the speaker 10c, the entire enclosure 10e vibrates according to the sound pressure, but the upper left portion 10ea and the lower left portion 10eb of the enclosure 10e are connected to a part of the upper plate body 17p and the lower plate body 18p. Since they are in contact with each other, the vibration is also transmitted to the entire upper plate body 17p and the lower plate body 18p. Thereby, even when a large number of game balls are stored in the upper plate body 17p and the lower plate body 18p, the ball balls of the game balls coming out from the payout outlet 170 and the discharge port 180 are effectively prevented by vibration. Can be prevented.

[Blower mechanism 110]
The blower mechanism 110 switches the direction of the wind sent from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e, and is disposed adjacent to the right side surface of the enclosure 10e. As shown in FIGS. 211 and 213, the air blowing mechanism 110 includes cover members 110 </ b> A and 110 </ b> B that can be divided into left and right parts, a solenoid 111, a slide member 112, a link member 113, a spring 114, an opening / closing member 115, and an opening / closing detection sensor 116. Have The solenoid 111, the slide member 112, the link member 113, the spring 114, the opening / closing member 115, and the opening / closing detection sensor 116 are accommodated inside the cover members 110A and 110B.

  As shown in FIGS. 213 and 214, the cover member 110A is provided with a space portion 110a in which the opening / closing member 115 can be closed / opened in a direction straight from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e. The space 110a is always open below the opening / closing member 115 regardless of whether the opening / closing member 115 is closed or open, and the vent 8ca provided in the under cover 8c is located (see FIG. 210). As shown in FIGS. 211 and 213, the cover member 110B has an opening 110b at a position facing the space 110a. On the right side of the opening 110b, an air outlet 80 provided in the detachable lower right side cover 8ba as a part of the lower plate cover 8b is located (see FIGS. 206, 209, and 210). As a result, when the opening / closing member 115 is in a state of closing the space 110a, the wind sent from the opening 10ec is blocked by hitting the opening / closing member 115, and is guided downward to the space 110a without passing through the opening 110b. It is burned. The wind guided downward of the space 110a is sent to the outside through the vent 8ca of the under cover 8c. On the other hand, when the opening / closing member 115 opens the space 110a, the wind sent from the opening 10ec flows almost straight without being blocked by the opening / closing member 115, and then passes through the space 110a and the opening 110b. It is sent to the outside through the air outlet 80 of the lower side cover 8ba. The firing handle 26b of the launching device 26 is disposed at a position substantially directly opposite to the air blowing port 80, and the wind emitted from the air blowing port 80 hits a player's hand holding the firing handle 26b. That is, since the flow path through which the wind flows from the opening 10ec to the firing handle 26b through the space 110a, the opening 110b and the air blowing port 80 is formed substantially straight, the wind pressure can be applied to the player's hand holding the firing handle 26b. The wind can be reached without weakening as much as possible, and the player can surely feel the wind. In addition, regardless of whether the opening / closing member 115 is in the closed or open state, the sound sent from the opening 10ec together with the wind is released to the outside through either the air blowing port 80 or the ventilation port 8ca. A deep bass can be fully experienced without reducing the acoustic effect.

  As shown in FIGS. 211 to 214, the solenoid 111 has a plunger 111a that can protrude and retract in conjunction with an on / off operation. The distal end portion of the plunger 111 a is connected to the slide member 112. The slide member 112 is supported by the cover member 110A so as to be movable along the horizontal direction. A long hole 112a is formed in the slide member 112 so as to extend along the vertical direction. A connecting portion 113a of the link member 113 is movably locked in the long hole 112a. The base end portion 113 b of the link member 113 is rotatably supported by the cover member 110 </ b> A, and one end of the spring 114 is locked to a portion near the distal end portion of the link member 113. The other end of the spring 114 is locked to an appropriate part of the cover member 110A. A long hole 113 c is formed at the tip of the link member 113. A connecting pin 115a provided on the opening / closing member 115 is movably locked in the long hole 113c. The opening / closing member 115 is guided by the cover member 110A so as to be movable between a closed position where the opening / closing member 115 remains in the space 110a and an open position shifted from the space 110a. The open / close detection sensor 116 is constituted by, for example, a touch sensor or a proximity sensor. When the open / close member 115 is in the open position, a part of the link member 113 is in contact with or close to the space portion 110a. Is detected. When the opening / closing member 115 is in the closed position, the link member 113 is separated from the opening / closing detection sensor 116 to detect that the space portion 110a is in the closed state. The open / close detection sensor 116 is electrically connected to the sub-control board 33.

  As shown in FIGS. 211 and 212, when the solenoid 111 is in the off state and the plunger 111a is in the protruding position, the slide member 112 is located on the left side in the drawing, and the distal end side of the link member 113 is pulled by the spring 114. The opening / closing member 115 connected to the long hole 113c of the tip portion via the connecting pin 115a remains in the closed position of the space portion 110a, and the space portion 110a is closed. At this time, since the link member 113 is at a position separated from the open / close detection sensor 116, a detection signal indicating a closed state is supplied from the open / close detection sensor 116 to the sub-control board 33.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 213 and 214, when the solenoid 111 is turned on, the plunger 111a moves from the protruding position to the retracted position. When the plunger 111a moves to the retracted position, the slide member 112 moves to the right side in the figure, and accordingly, the distal end side of the link member 113 counterclockwise around the base end portion 113b against the pulling force of the spring 114. It rotates in the direction of. As a result, the opening / closing member 115 connected to the elongated hole 113c of the link member 113 via the connecting pin 115a moves from the space portion 110a to the retracted position on the right side in the drawing, whereby the space portion 110a is opened. Become. At this time, since the link member 113 is in contact with or close to the opening / closing detection sensor 116, a detection signal indicating an open state is supplied from the opening / closing detection sensor 116 to the sub-control board 33.

  According to such a blower mechanism 110, the flow path of the wind from the opening 10ec to the firing handle 26b through the blower port 80 is substantially linear, and the space 110a located between the opening 10ec and the blower port 80. Is controlled to be in a closed / open state and the space portion 110a is in a closed state, the air flow from the opening 10ec can be guided to the vent 8ca located below the space portion 110a, while the space portion 110a is In the open state, the flow of wind from the opening 10ec can be linearly guided from the space portion 110a to the air blowing port 80 through the opening portion 110b. The wind that has left the air outlet 80 flows straight and straight toward the firing handle 26b, and hits the player's hand that holds the firing handle 26b. Thereby, the wind can be felt by the sense of skin as well as the hearing of the deep bass. When the wind from the opening 10ec is guided to the vent 8ca, the player's hand is not attached to the vicinity of the vent 8ca, so that, for example, only heavy bass can be felt by hearing without feeling the wind. .

[Light Emitting Unit 12]
The light emitting unit 12 irradiates the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b with irradiation light, and is disposed obliquely above and to the left of the launch handle 26b. Although the detailed explanation of the light emitting unit 12 is omitted, the light emitting unit 12 includes a plurality of LEDs as light emitting means, a light emitting substrate on which the plurality of LEDs are mounted, a light guide plate for guiding light from the plurality of LEDs in a predetermined direction, and the like. Configured. As shown in FIGS. 207 and 208, in a predetermined direction in which light from the light emitting unit 12 is guided, an irradiation window 81 provided on the removable upper right side cover 8bb is provided as a part of the lower dish cover 8b. Yes. The light from the light emitting unit 12 is irradiated toward the launch handle 26b through the irradiation window 81, and is reflected as a spotlight on the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b. Thereby, in addition to the wind that appeals to the skin sensation and the deep bass that appeals to hearing, the visual sense can be stimulated and felt by irradiation light.

  Connected to the main control board 28 is a first start port switch 311 disposed behind a first start port (not shown) in the game board 1. When a game ball is detected by the first start port switch 311, a winning lottery is performed.

  Connected to the main control board 28 is a second start port switch 312 disposed behind a second start port (not shown) in the game board 1. When a game ball is detected by the second start port switch 312, a winning lottery is performed.

  The first start port switch 311 and the second start port switch 312 are used to control a predetermined detection signal as a prize when it is detected that a game ball has entered the first start port and the second start port. Supply to the substrate 28.

  Connected to the main control board 28 is a pass gate switch 314 disposed behind a pass gate (not shown) in the game board 1. When a game ball is detected by the pass gate switch 314, a normal symbol lottery is performed on the assumption that the game ball has won the pass gate. The result of the normal symbol lottery is displayed on the normal symbol display portion 5A provided on the game board 1. When a specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display unit 5A, an effect image for allowing the player to grasp that the result of the normal symbol lottery is winning is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4. You may do it.

  The pass gate switch 314 supplies a predetermined detection signal to the main control board 28 as a winning when it is detected that the game ball has passed through the pass gate. Thereby, the passage gate switch 314 provides an opportunity to open the second start port.

  Connected to the main control board 28 is a general winning opening switch 310 disposed behind a general winning opening (not shown) provided in the game board 1. When a game ball is detected by the general winning opening switch 310, a predetermined number of prize balls are played by the payout device 35.

  Connected to the main control board 28 is a first grand prize port count switch 315 disposed behind the first big prize port (not shown) in the game board 1. The first grand prize opening count switch 315 is for counting the number of winning game balls to the first big prize opening. When a winning of a game ball is detected by the first big winning port count switch 315, the payout device 35 uses a predetermined number of game balls as a winning ball through the payout port 170 or the discharge port 180 or the upper plate 17 or the lower plate. Dispensing to the plate 18.

  Connected to the main control board 28 is a second grand prize port count switch 316 disposed behind the second big prize port (not shown) in the game board 1. The second grand prize opening count switch 316 is for counting the number of winning game balls to the second big prize opening. When a winning of a game ball is detected by the second big winning port count switch 316, the payout device 35 uses the preset number of game balls as a winning ball via the payout outlet 170 or the discharge port 180 and the upper plate 17. Alternatively, payout to the lower plate 18 is performed.

  The first grand prize port count switch 315 and the second grand prize port count switch 316 are configured to send a predetermined detection signal to the main control board 28 when the game ball passes through the first grand prize port and the second grand prize port. To supply.

  The main control board 28 is connected with a specific area switch 317A and a non-specific area switch 317B arranged in a specific area and a non-specific area (not shown) inside the second big prize opening. The specific area switch 317A supplies a predetermined detection signal to the main control board 28 as a V prize when it is detected that the game ball has passed through the specific area in the big hit gaming state. The non-specific area switch 317B supplies a predetermined detection signal to the main control board 28 as a non-V prize when it is detected that the game ball has passed through the non-specific area in the big hit gaming state.

  The main control board 28 includes a second grand prize port solenoid 315A that drives a first grand prize port shutter (not shown) that opens and closes the first grand prize port, and a second major prize port shutter that opens and closes the second grand prize port. The second grand prize winning solenoid 316A for driving (not shown) is exclusively controlled. As a result, the first grand prize opening shutter has an open state (first aspect) in which a game ball can be easily won into the first grand prize opening, and a closed state (second aspect) in which a game ball cannot be won. ) And the first big prize opening is at least closed, the second big prize opening shutter is in an open state in which a game ball can be awarded to the second big prize opening. The game ball is driven so as to change into a closed state where it is impossible or difficult to win the game ball. The opening of the first grand prize port and the second major prize port by the first grand prize port shutter and the second grand prize port shutter is driven by the first special symbol display section 5C provided on the game board 1 or the second This is performed when the special symbol becomes a specific stop display mode in the special symbol display unit 5D and the game is shifted to the big hit gaming state.

  The main control board 28 controls a blade member solenoid 313 that opens and closes a blade member (not shown) provided at the second start port. As a result, when the normal symbol is stopped and displayed in the normal symbol display section 5A in the predetermined light emission mode, the blade member is opened for a predetermined time for a predetermined number of times, and the game ball can easily enter the second starting port. Become.

  For example, in the normal symbol game of the present embodiment, the normal symbol hit probability in a gaming state (non-probability change / non-timeless gaming state) that is not the short-time gaming state is 1/256, and the blade member is not released. . On the other hand, the normal symbol hit probability in the high probability state (time-short game state) is, for example, 255/256, and when this is won, the blade member is opened three times, for example, for 1.3 seconds. In addition, the number of normal symbols that become a winning symbol in the normal symbol game is one, and the winning count number that is the upper limit when the second start port is opened is 10 counts (10).

  The main control board 28 controls a displacement member solenoid 318 that is operated so as to open and close a displacement member (not shown) in a specific region in the second big prize opening. Thereby, when the round game in the big hit game state is being executed, the displacement member is opened a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time, so that the game ball easily passes through the specific area. On the other hand, if the displacement member is in the closed state even in the big hit game state, it becomes difficult or difficult for the game ball to pass through the specific area, and the game ball easily passes through the non-specific area.

  The first special symbol hold display unit 5E displays the first special symbol display unit 5C or the second special symbol display unit 5D when the game ball is detected by the first start opening switch 311 when the first special symbol display unit 5C is variably displayed. First special symbol display unit 5C or second special symbol display unit 5D until the first special symbol or the second special symbol being displayed in a variable manner is stopped and displayed, the first special based on the winning of the game ball to the first start opening The number of executions (starts) of symbol change display is held, that is, the number of holds related to the first special symbol is displayed. When the first special symbol or the second special symbol that has been variably displayed is stopped and displayed, the variability display of the first special symbol that has been reserved as the number of the reserved symbols relating to the first special symbol is started.

  The second special symbol hold display unit 5F displays the first special symbol display unit 5C or the second special symbol display unit 5D when the game ball is detected by the second start port switch 312 when the second special symbol display unit 5D is variably displayed. The second special based on the winning of the game ball at the second starting port until the first special symbol or the second special symbol that is being displayed in a variable manner is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol display unit 5C or the second special symbol display unit 5D The number of executions (starts) of symbol change display is suspended, that is, the number of suspensions related to the second special symbol is displayed. When the first special symbol or the second special symbol that has been variably displayed is stopped and displayed, the variability display of the second special symbol that has been suspended as the number of the reserved symbols related to the second special symbol is started.

  Here, in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, the priority order of the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is set so that the second special symbol has priority over the first special symbol. However, the corresponding first special symbol and second special symbol may be variably displayed in the order of winning according to the winning order at the first starting port and the second starting port.

  In addition, an upper limit is set for the number of suspensions for which the execution of the special symbol variable display is suspended. In this embodiment, the main CPU 280 wins game balls at the first start port and the second start port. When the game balls are detected by the first start port switch 311 and the second start port switch 312, the maximum number of variable display suspensions of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is 4 respectively (that is, 4 detections). Number of times), and the fifth and subsequent numbers are not stored as the number of reservations. At this time, when the number of holdings decreases due to the end of the variable symbol display, the number of holdings is again added up to four.

  When the number of first special symbol games held in the first special symbol display unit 5C is held, for example, up to four, the information on the special symbol game corresponding to the changing first special symbol display unit 5C is stored in the main RAM 282. One special symbol start storage area (0) is stored as a start memory, and thereafter, information on special symbol games corresponding to the number of holdings of four is stored in the first special symbol start storage areas (1) to (4) of the main RAM 282. Sequentially stored as starting memory.

  Similarly, with respect to the second special symbol game in the second special symbol display unit 5D, when the number of the second special symbol game held is, for example, up to four, the second special symbol game corresponding to the changing second special symbol display unit 5D. The information of the 2 special symbol game is stored as the start memory in the second special symbol start storage area (0) of the main RAM 282. Thereafter, the information of the second special symbol game corresponding to the number of holdings is 4 in the main RAM 282. 2 are sequentially stored as starting memories in the special symbol starting storage areas (1) to (4).

  Therefore, the total number of game balls held in the special symbol game associated with winning at the first start port and the second start port is 8 in total, and the first special symbol hold display section 5E and the second special symbol hold display The number of pending displays by the part 5F is also four.

  In the open state of the first big prize opening by the first big prize opening shutter, the count value (the number of winning game balls) by the first big prize opening count switch 315 becomes a predetermined number (for example, ten winning numbers), Alternatively, it is maintained until one of the conditions such as a later-described opening time described later is satisfied. When the number of winning game balls reaches a predetermined number, or when the opening time of the first big prize opening shutter has elapsed, the first big prize opening shutter is driven to close the first big prize opening.

  Similarly, in the opened state of the second big prize opening by the second big prize opening shutter, the count value (the number of winning game balls) by the second big prize opening count switch 316 becomes a predetermined number (for example, ten winning numbers). Or, it is maintained until one of the conditions such as a predetermined later-described opening time elapses is satisfied. When the number of winning game balls reaches a predetermined number, or when the opening time of the second big prize opening shutter has elapsed, the second big prize opening shutter is driven to close the second big prize opening.

  In the big hit gaming state, the open state and the closed state of the first big winning opening and the second big winning opening are repeated based on a preset big opening / closing pattern (hit opening / closing pattern). In the big hit game state, a game in which each of the first big prize opening and the second big prize opening is opened and closed for a predetermined number of times based on the big prize opening / closing pattern (hit opening / closing pattern) is “round game (round Play) ”. A round game (round game) may be simply called a round. About the state from when the first grand prize opening or the second grand prize opening is closed by one round game until the first grand prize opening or the second big prize opening is opened as the next round game Is also called “inter-round game”, “inter-round interval” or simply “interval”. In one round game, each of the first grand prize winning opening and the second big winning prize opening may be in an open state and a closed state multiple times. In one round game, the opening / closing states of the first grand prize winning opening and the second big winning prize opening are controlled exclusively. That is, in one round game, while one big prize opening is repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times, the other big prize opening is continuously closed.

  Note that the gaming machine of the present embodiment is provided with a so-called small hit game state as a game state having a property different from the big hit game state. Unlike the big hit gaming state, the small hit gaming state is not defined by the concept of a round game. In the small hit gaming state of the present embodiment, the second big winning opening is prescribed to be repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times. Yes. Of course, in the small hit gaming state, an arbitrary or specific big winning opening may be controlled to be repeatedly opened once or a plurality of times. This small hit game state is a game state that shifts when a small hit is made by special symbol lottery. The game state basically does not change before and after the transition to the small hit gaming state. For example, in the non-probability changing gaming state, when the small hit win is made and the game state is shifted to the small hit gaming state, the gaming state after the end of the small hit gaming state remains the non-probability changing gaming state before the transition to the small hit gaming state. Therefore, there is no transition to the probable gaming state. Similarly, when a small hit win is made in the probability variation gaming state and a transition is made to the small hit gaming state, the gaming state after the end of the small hit gaming state is the small hit gaming state as long as the number of games in the probability variation gaming state remains. It remains in the probability change gaming state before the transition to, and does not shift to the non-probability variation gaming state.

  A round game is counted as the number of rounds (number of times) such as 1 round and 2 rounds. In a single round game, if the maximum number of winnings per round is reached before the first grand prize opening or the second big prize opening is opened a predetermined number of times, The winning opening is closed, and the round game is ended without opening the first and second winning openings for the remaining number of times of opening.

  In a specific round game in which the second big prize opening is opened in the big hit gaming state, the displacement member is controlled based on a preset operation pattern (displacement member operation pattern). Thus, the specific area is in an open state and a closed state in a specific round game in the big hit game state. That is, in a specific round game, there is a possibility that a game ball passes through a specific area and becomes a V prize, while in a round game other than a specific round game, it is assumed that a game ball has won a second big prize opening. However, the game ball cannot pass through the specific area or is in a difficult state. That is, the types of jackpot gaming states include a jackpot gaming state that includes a specific round game and a jackpot gaming state that does not include a specific round game.

  On the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4, an effect image related to the special symbol displayed in the first special symbol display unit 5C and the second special symbol display unit 5D is displayed. For example, in the variable display of the special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display unit 5C and the second special symbol display unit 5D, the symbols composed of numbers are displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4 except for specific cases. (Decorative symbols), for example, numbers such as “0”, “1”, “2”.

  On the other hand, when the special symbols that have been variably displayed in the first special symbol display unit 5C and the second special symbol display unit 5D are stopped and displayed, the decorative symbols are also stopped and displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4.

  Further, in the first special symbol display unit 5C and the second special symbol display unit 5D, if the special symbol that has been changed or stopped is in a specific stop display mode, the player is made aware that it is a “hit”. The effect image is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4.

  Specifically, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in one of the first special symbol display unit 5C and the second special symbol display unit 5D in a specific display mode corresponding to, for example, “big hit”, the liquid crystal The combination of the decorative symbols for effects displayed on the screen of the display device 4 becomes a specific display mode (for example, a mode in which all the same symbols are arranged in a plurality of symbol rows are stopped and displayed), and The effect image for the big hit is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4.

  The main CPU 280 of the main control board 28 has a special game (big hit game state) advantageous to the player when the game ball passes through predetermined areas (first start port and second start port) in the game area 1p. The lottery means capable of lottering whether or not to execute () is realized.

  The main ROM 281 stores programs and various tables for causing the main CPU 280 to execute various processes such as jackpot lottery and symbol lottery.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 216, the table stored in the main ROM 281 includes a big hit lottery table and a symbol lottery table. The big hit lottery table is used when the big hit lottery is performed by random number lottery. For example, out of the random number range 0 to 255, a random value of 0 to 254 is extracted, and when a random number of 255 is extracted, the big hit It is stipulated that it will be won.

Once extracted, "there game effect" is determined.

  As for the light irradiation effect, when the big hit lottery result is a loss, “no effect” is determined when a random value of 0 to 90 is extracted, while “with effect” when a random value of 91 to 99 is extracted. In the case of 4R normal big hit, when “0” to 90 random numbers are extracted, “no effect” is determined, while when 91 to 99 random values are extracted, “effect” is determined, In the case of a 16R normal big hit, a random value of 0 to 99 is always extracted to determine “with production”, and in the case of a 4R probability variable big hit, a random number of 0 to 90 is extracted to determine “no production” On the other hand, when a random value of 91 to 99 is extracted, “presentation” is determined, and in the case of 16R probability variation big hit, a random value of 0 to 99 is always extracted to determine “presentation”. .

  As for the first operation effect, when the big hit lottery result is a loss, “no effect” is determined when a random value of 0 to 95 is extracted, while “random with” is output when a random number value of 96 to 99 is extracted. In the case of 4R normal big hit, if no random number value of 0-50 is extracted, “no effect” is determined, whereas if a random number value of 51-99 is extracted, “presentation” is determined. In the case of 16R normal big hit, “no effect” is determined when a random value of 0 to 50 is extracted, while “with production” is determined when a random value of 51 to 99 is extracted, and 4R probability variable big hit In this case, “no effect” is determined when a random value of 0 to 85 is extracted, whereas “effect” is determined when a random value of 86 to 99 is extracted. When a random value of ~ 95 is extracted, “no effect” is determined , If the random number value of 96 to 99 are extracted "there demonstration" is determined.

  As for the second operation effect, when the big hit lottery result is lost, a random value of 0 to 99 is always extracted to determine “no effect”, and in the case of 4R normal big win, a random value of 0 to 97 is extracted. “No effect” is determined, while “Render” is determined when a random number value of 98 to 99 is extracted, and a random value of 0 to 99 is always extracted in the case of 16R normal big hit. In the case of 4R probability variation big hit, “no effect” is determined when a random value of 0 to 90 is extracted, while “random effect” is extracted when a random value of 91 to 99 is extracted. ”Is determined, and in the case of 16R probability variation big hit,“ no effect ”is determined when a random value of 0 to 60 is extracted, while“ with effect ”is determined when a random value of 61 to 99 is extracted.

<Regarding the right decorative member 15 and the left decorative member 16>
The right decorative member 15 and the left decorative member 16 are formed in a substantially bilaterally symmetric shape, and both are configured to include similar members. In the following description, the right decorative member 15 will be described for convenience.

  The right decorative member 15 and the left decorative member 16 perform light effects when a predetermined game condition is satisfied. As shown in FIGS. 217 to 222, the right decorative member 15 includes a support member 150, a light emitting substrate (not shown), an outer light guide member 151, an inner light guide member 152, and a decorative cover 153. The support member 150, the light emitting substrate, the outer light guide member 151, and the inner light guide member 152 are covered with a decorative cover 153. The main front surface portion of the decorative cover 153 is translucent or transparent and has light transmittance.

  The support member 150 and the light emitting substrate are attached to the right base plate 3aa. A light emitting substrate is disposed on the back surface side of the support member 150. The support member 150 is formed with a plurality of slits 150a, and a plurality of LEDs (not shown) provided on the light emitting substrate are positioned so as to face the plurality of slits 150a. The outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 are attached to the front portion of the support member 150 along the plurality of slits 150a. The LEDs are arranged at a predetermined interval (for example, an interval of 20 mm to 30 mm) in consideration of securing the amount of light and cost.

  The outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 are each formed of a plate-like member, and are formed so that the inner light guide member 152 is larger than the outer light guide member 151. The outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 are positioned so as to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. Since the outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 have the same configuration except for the size and arrangement, the inner light guide member 152 will be described for convenience in the following description.

  As shown in FIGS. 218 to 222, the inner light guide member 152 has an incident rear end surface 152a that becomes a light incident surface and an emission front end surface 152b that becomes a light emitting surface. The incident rear end face 152 a is disposed so as to face the plurality of slits 150 a of the support member 150. Thus, the plurality of LEDs are positioned so as to be aligned along the longitudinal direction of the incident rear end face 152a. The emission front end surface 152b is disposed along the inner surface of the decorative cover 153, and is formed in a curved shape as a whole.

  As shown in FIGS. 219 and 220, the incident rear end face 152a is formed with a sawtooth-shaped lens cut so as to be uneven along the longitudinal direction. Thereby, the light from the LED that has entered the rear end face 152a through the slit 150a travels while diffusing in the longitudinal direction in the inner light guide member 152. A so-called diamond-cut lens cut is formed on the emission front end face 152b. As a result, the light traveling from the rear end face 152a to the inside of the inner light guide member 152 is irradiated forward with a certain extent. Note that the front emission end surface 152b of the inner light guide member 152 is disposed on the near side where the player is located with respect to the front emission end surface of the outer light guide member 151.

The support member 143, the light emitting substrate 144, the light blocking member 145, and the plurality of light guide members 146 a to 146 c are covered with the main body cover 140, the front cover 141, and the upper cover 142. The front portion 141a of the front cover 141 is translucent or transparent and has light transmission properties. The front surface portion 141a is a surface that protrudes forward from the lower portion to the upper portion, and is disposed so as to form a light-transmitting surface that is inclined with respect to the vertical direction.

  A support member 143 is attached to the inside of the main body cover 140. A light emitting substrate 144 is attached to the front portion of the support member 143 and a light shielding member 145 is attached so as to be positioned in front of the light emitting substrate 144. A plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are attached to the lower part of the light shielding member 145 at a predetermined distance from each other.

  A plurality of LEDs 144a corresponding to the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are provided on the lower front surface of the light emitting substrate 144, and a plurality of LEDs 144a provided on the front surface of the light emitting substrate 144 are provided on an upper portion of a light shielding member 145 described later. A plurality of LEDs 144b corresponding to the openings 145c are provided.

  A partition wall 145a is formed on the light shielding member 145 so as to partition the upper portion and the lower portion thereof. A plurality of slits 145ba, 145bb, 145bc are formed below the light shielding member 145 so as to correspond to the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c. A plurality of openings 145c are formed in the upper part of the light shielding member 145 so that LEDs 144b of the light emitting substrate 144 described later are exposed. The upper surface of the partition wall 145a of the light shielding member 145 is subjected to surface processing that easily reflects the light from the LED 144b forward, and the peripheral portion of the opening 145c is also concave so as to easily reflect the light from the LED 144b forward. It is formed in a shape.

  The plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are each formed of a plate-like member, and are formed in a substantially U shape or a substantially V shape in a front view. The plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c are formed so as to be smaller as they are positioned upward from below, and the light guide member 146b is smaller than the light guide member 146a and light guides than the light guide member 146b. The member 146c is smaller. The light guide members 146a to 146c are positioned so as to be separated from each other by a predetermined distance.

  As shown in FIG. 227, the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c have incident rear end surfaces 146aa, 146ba, 146ca serving as light incident surfaces, and emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cb serving as light emitting surfaces. The rear end faces 146aa, 146ba, 146ca are arranged so as to face the slits 145ba, 145bb, 145bc of the light shielding member 145. The emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cb are arranged along the front surface portion 141a of the front cover 141 inclined with respect to the vertical direction.

  The incident rear end surfaces 146aa, 146ba, 146ca are formed in a sawtooth shape so as to be uneven along the longitudinal direction, like the incident rear end surface 152a of the inner light guide member 152 of the right decorative member 15 described above. Thereby, the light from the LED 144a that has entered the rear end faces 146aa, 146ba, and 146ca travels while diffusing in the longitudinal direction in the light guide members 146a to 146c. The emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cb are formed in a so-called diamond cut shape, similarly to the emission front end surface 15b of the inner light guide member 152 of the right decorative member 15 described above. As a result, the light traveling from the rear end faces 146aa, 146ba, 146ca to the inside of the light guide members 146a-146c is irradiated forward with some spread.

  According to such a central decoration unit 14a, light emitted from the emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cb of the light guide members 146a-146c is guided outward through the front surface portion 141a of the front cover 141. However, since the emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cb are located relatively close to the front surface portion 141a, an elongated region having a relatively high light intensity is formed along the emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cb. In the area below the front cover 141, light from the emission front end faces 146ab, 146bb, 146cb appears in a plurality of lines. On the other hand, in the upper region of the front cover 141, the light from the plurality of LEDs 144b is radiated outwardly through the front surface portion 141a of the front cover 141 while being irregularly reflected by the periphery of the opening 145c of the light shielding member 145 and the like. In addition, the light guide members 146a to 146c are guided to the front surface portion 141a as reflected light from the depth farther from the front surface portion 141a than the front emission end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cb. It looks like a wide light distribution with diffused light. That is, from the diagonally lower side of the front cover 141 that becomes the player's eyes, the line-shaped light appears to appear three-dimensionally in the lower part of the light from the upper side.

[Right decoration unit 14b]

The front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C is formed in a mesh shape, and the vibration surface of the speaker 10b and the light guide member 149 can be visually recognized from the gap.

  The speaker unit 10 </ b> A has an opening (not shown) that exposes the vibration surface (sound output part) of the speaker 10 b forward, and a light emitting substrate 148 is attached along the periphery of the opening. The light emitting substrate 148 is provided with a plurality of LEDs 148a arranged in a ring shape along the periphery of the speaker 10b.

  The main body support member 147A is formed with an opening 147Aa in which the vibration surface of the speaker 10b and the plurality of LEDs 148a of the light emitting substrate 148 are exposed and the light guide member 149 can be attached to the periphery.

  The light guide member 149 includes a cylindrical portion 149a for guiding sound generated on the vibration surface of the speaker 10b to the front, an incident rear end surface 149b serving as a light incident surface on the rear periphery of the cylindrical portion 149a, and a peripheral edge of the cylindrical portion 149a. It has an emission front end surface 149c that is a light emission surface on the front side, and a protrusion 149d that extends forward from the periphery of the emission front end surface 149c.

  The vibration surface of the speaker 10b is disposed at the rear of the tube portion 149a, and the sound generated on the vibration surface is guided forward through the tube portion 149a. The incident rear end surface 1449b is arranged to face the LED 148a of the light emitting substrate 148. Similarly to the incident rear end surface 152a of the inner light guide member 152 of the right decorative member 15, the incident rear end surface 149b is formed in a sawtooth shape so as to be uneven along the circumferential direction. Thereby, the light from the LED 148a that has entered the rear end face 149b travels while diffusing the cylindrical portion 149a substantially in the circumferential direction.

  The emission front end face 149c is located a predetermined distance behind the front face 147Ca of the front cover 147C. Similarly to the rear end face 149b, the front exit face 149c is also formed in a sawtooth shape so as to be uneven along the circumferential direction. As a result, the light traveling from the incident rear end face 149b to the cylindrical portion 149a is irradiated forward so that it looks like a ring while spreading mainly in the circumferential direction when viewed from the front.

  The protruding portion 149d is formed so that a part of the left and right sides partially extends forward, and the tip thereof is disposed so as to contact the back side of the front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C. In addition, you may arrange | position the protrusion part 149d so that it may adjoin without contacting the back side of front surface 147Ca. Further, instead of the projecting portion 149d, the emission front end face 149c may be disposed so as to be in contact with the back side of the front face 147Ca, or may be disposed so as to be close thereto.

  According to such a right decoration unit 14b, it is possible to produce an effect in which the periphery of the speaker 10b appears to shine in a ring shape in accordance with the sound generated from the speaker 10b. Further, since the front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C is formed in a mesh shape, the front cover 147C is easily damaged by an external impact or pressure, but is reinforced and supported by the projection 149d of the light guide member 149 coming into contact therewith. Since it is in a state, it is possible to effectively prevent damage due to external impact or pressing. That is, the mesh-like (lattice) front cover 147C guides the sound from the speaker 10b along the light guide member 149 to the back surface of the front cover 147C. Can communicate outside. Moreover, since the light guide member 149 functions as a support member for the front cover 147C, the rigidity of the front cover 147C can be increased.

  According to the gaming machine according to the sixth embodiment described above, the following operational effects can be obtained.

  According to the configuration of the speaker unit 10 and its surroundings, an air flow flows out from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e as sound is output from the speaker 10c. At this time, if the opening / closing member 115 of the air blowing mechanism 110 is in a state of opening the space 110a, the air flow from the opening 10ec is guided in a straight direction toward the air blowing port 80, and from the air blowing port 80 toward the launching handle 26b. Wind flows with sufficient wind pressure. As a result, the player can feel the wind in the hand holding the launch handle 26b, and the sound from the speaker 10c can also feel a heavy bass due to the Helmholtz resonance with the sound output from the air outlet 80 together with the wind.

  On the other hand, when the opening / closing member 115 of the blower mechanism 110 is in a state in which the space portion 110a is closed, and the air flow from the opening 10ec is led in a direction that bends at a substantially right angle and flows downward to the space portion 110a, The wind is discharged from the vent 8ca of the cover 8c, and the wind is not guided to the firing handle 26b. Thus, the player can feel only the sound from the speaker 10c as a heavy bass by Helmholtz resonance with the sound output together with the wind from the vent 8ca without feeling the wind in the hand holding the launch handle 26b. .

  That is, since the sound and the wind can be felt only by switching the direction of the wind flowing out from the opening 10ec of the speaker unit 10 by the air blowing mechanism 110, the speaker unit 10 can be reduced in size and simplified. This makes it possible to produce a sound and wind effect flexibly.

  Further, by simply switching the direction of the wind coming out of the opening 10ec of the speaker unit 10 by the air blowing mechanism 110, it is possible to feel the sound and the wind, or just the sound, and the detachable lower right side cover 8ba or the under cover. Since the air outlet 80 and the air vent 8ca are formed in 8c, and the air blowing mechanism 110 may be individually designed between them and the speaker unit 10, the manufacturing cost of the speaker unit 10 and its surroundings may be reduced. In addition, the design freedom and maintenance can be improved.

  Further, even the speaker unit 10 which is a bass reflex type and has a relatively large volume of the enclosure 10e can be arranged in a space that does not hinder the hand of the player who handles the game balls stored in the upper plate 17 and the lower plate 18. In addition, the speaker device can be efficiently laid out while securing the arrangement space for the speaker unit 10.

  Further, since the upper left portion 10ea of the enclosure 10e contacts the bottom portion of the upper plate body 17p and also contacts the lower plate body 18p of the lower left portion 10eb, the upper plate 17p is supported and from the enclosure 10e according to the operation of the speaker 10c. The vibration is transmitted to the upper plate 17 and the lower plate 18, and the clogging of game balls in the upper plate 17 and the lower plate 18 can be effectively eliminated by this vibration.

  Further, the first operation effect using the operation member 2000 is set to have a higher occurrence frequency than the second operation effect using the push button 3000, that is, the operation member 2000 having a higher use frequency is operated. Since the push button 3000 having a low use frequency is provided on the common board 3200 that is also used as the ball lending button 23 and the return button 24 while being provided alone in the unit 9A, the operation member 2000 and the press are provided at positions that are easy to use according to the use frequency. It is possible to simplify the wiring to each substrate by arranging the buttons 3000, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and the arrangement space.

  In addition, while the operation member 2000 having a high use frequency is remembered as a circular shape, the press button 3000 having a low use frequency is easily memorized as a quadrilateral shape different from the circular shape, and therefore, the operation member 2000 and the press button 3000 are used according to the use frequency. Can be provided as an outer shape that can be easily distinguished, and as a result, a plurality of operation means can be easily used. Further, the quadrangular push button 3000 and the cross-shaped cross button 3100 are arranged adjacent to each other such that some end portions that are linear portions face each other. Buttons can be arranged.

  In addition, when a condition for shifting to a gaming state advantageous to the player, such as a 16R normal big hit or a 16R probability variable big hit, is satisfied, a light irradiation effect is always executed, and at the same time, a fan effect may be executed. Can sense that the light irradiation effect or the air blowing effect is being executed by either visual or tactile sensation on the hand holding the launch handle 26b, and transition to an advantageous gaming state without missing such an effect. You can sense what to do. Further, when the air blowing effect is executed, the sound effect due to the heavy bass from the speaker 10c is also executed at the same time, and the vibration due to the heavy bass can be felt.

  Further, for example, in the right decorative member 15, at the incident rear end surface 152a of the outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152, by entering light while diffusing light in the longitudinal direction in which LEDs are arranged by sawtooth lens cuts, While the light efficiently travels in the light guide, the front light exit surface 152b of the outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 emits light guided from the rear end surface 152a into the light guide into a diamond-cut lens. Since it can be efficiently scattered outward by cutting, color unevenness can be eliminated and light can be efficiently irradiated.

  Further, for example, in the right decoration unit 14b, the protruding portion 149d of the light guide member 149 is disposed so as to contact the back surface of the mesh-like front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C, and the emission front end surface 149c is separated from the front surface 147Ca by a predetermined distance, Since it is annularly arranged along the periphery so as not to obstruct the vibration surface of the speaker 10b, the LED 148a located on the rear end face 149b side can be made invisible from the front of the front cover 147C, and the appearance is not impaired. Sound from the speaker 10b can be emitted to the outside without hindrance.

  Further, for example, in the central decoration unit 14a, the emission front end surfaces 146ab, 146bb, 146cb of the light guide members 146a to 146c are farther from the light emitting substrate 144 than the peripheral edge portion of the opening 145c of the light shielding member 145 where the LED 144b is exposed. Yes, because it is disposed near the front surface portion 141a of the front cover 141, the light of the LED 144b that is diffusely reflected at the peripheral edge of the opening 145c and guided forward, and the front end surface 146ab of the light exiting through the inside of the light guide members 146a to 146c , 146bb, and 146cb, the light of the LED 144a irradiated on average becomes a linear light and a line-shaped light, which can cause a clear difference in the visibility of these lights, and thus a novel light. Can be realized.

  In addition, as a modification of the air blowing mechanism 110, the one shown in FIG. 234 may be applied. In the blower mechanism 110 shown in FIG. 234, a rotatable shutter member 117 capable of opening and closing the space 110a and the opening 110b exclusively is provided. As shown in FIG. 234 (a), the shutter member 117 is positioned so as to have a horizontal posture when the wind flow from the opening 10ec (not shown) is guided to the opening 110b. At this time, the wind is not completely guided downward of the space 110a. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 234 (b), the shutter member 117 rotates from the horizontal posture shown in FIG. 234 (a) when the wind flow from the opening 10ec outside the figure is guided downward of the space 110a. It is positioned so as to move and stand upright. At this time, the flow of the wind that tries to go straight to the side of the space 110a is obstructed, and the wind is guided so as to bend at a substantially right angle below the space 110a. According to such a blower mechanism 110, when the wind is guided to the blower outlet 80 (not shown), the wind is guided to the blower outlet 80 with sufficient wind pressure without leaking the wind downward to the space 110a. Can do.

  In each of the configurations of the second embodiment, the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment, the fifth embodiment, and the sixth embodiment described above, each other embodiment may be appropriately incorporated within the scope of the present invention. It can be changed and combined in any configuration.

  The present invention can also be used in gaming machines such as general pachinko gaming machines, including pachislot machines of enclosed type, general pachislot gaming machines, slot machines, and roulette machines.

  The outline of the present invention is enumerated below based mainly on the sixth embodiment described above.

The effect is based on video using a liquid crystal display device, the effect based on light using an LED, etc. Various effects such as effects by sound using a sound or effects by physical behavior using a movable device are performed.

  For example, a conventional gaming machine has a bass-reflex type speaker unit, and the posture of the speaker can be variably controlled. When the speaker assumes a predetermined posture, the speaker device is directed from the through hole provided in the speaker unit to the handle device. A configuration has been proposed in which an effect that makes the wind feel with sound is produced by the wind flowing (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-171610).

On the other hand, if the direction of the air flow is switched to the second direction, the air flow is not guided toward the operation means, so the player feels the wind in operating the operation means. Only the sound from the speaker can be felt without making it. In other words, sound and wind can be felt only by switching the direction of the air flow flowing out from the opening of the speaker unit, or only sound can be felt, so that sound and wind can be reduced while miniaturizing and simplifying the speaker unit.

The gaming machine according to the present invention is
A speaker unit (for example, speaker unit 10 or the like) in which an opening (for example, opening 10ec or the like) is provided in an enclosure (for example, enclosure 10e or the like) of a speaker (for example, speaker 10c or the like);
A first exhaust part (for example, the air outlet 80) and a second exhaust part (for example, the vent 8ca) are provided for further discharging the air flow flowing out from the opening to the outside as the speaker is operated. Cover members (for example, lower right side cover 8ba, under cover 8c, etc.),
Regarding the main flow of the airflow, a first state (for example, a state where the opening / closing member 115 opens the space 110a) leading to the first discharge portion and a second state (for example, opening / closing) leading to the second discharge portion. An air flow state switching means (for example, a blower mechanism 110) that can be switched to a state in which the member 115 is closed in the space portion 110a, etc.
When the air flow state switching means is switched to the first state, the main flow of the air flow is guided toward the first discharge portion, while the air flow state switching means is switched to the second state. If it is, the game machine is characterized in that the main flow of the air flow is guided toward the second discharge portion.

  According to such a configuration, an air flow flows out from the opening of the enclosure as sound is output from the speaker. At this time, if it is switched to the first state by the air flow state switching means, the main flow of the air flow is guided toward the first discharge portion, and the player feels the wind discharged from the first discharge portion. At the same time, the sound from the speaker can also be felt, but when the second state is switched, the main flow of the airflow is guided toward the second discharge part so that it is not guided to the first discharge part. Thus, only the sound from the speaker can be felt without causing the player to feel the wind through the first discharge unit. That is, sound and wind can be felt only by switching the main flow state of the airflow flowing out from the opening of the speaker unit, or only the sound can be felt, so that the sound and sound of the speaker unit can be reduced and simplified. And wind can be performed on an as-needed basis.

Only the sound from the speaker can be felt without causing the player to feel the wind through the first discharge portion without being guided to the discharge portion. In other words, sound and wind can be felt only by switching the direction of the air flow flowing out from the opening of the speaker unit, or only sound can be felt, so that sound and wind can be reduced while miniaturizing and simplifying the speaker unit.

[Summary of Invention]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]

[Means for solving problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following gaming machines.

The gaming machine according to the present invention is
A speaker unit (for example, speaker unit 10 or the like) in which an opening (for example, opening 10ec or the like) is provided in an enclosure (for example, enclosure 10e or the like) of a speaker (for example, speaker 10c or the like);
A first exhaust part (for example, the air outlet 80) and a second exhaust part (for example, the vent 8ca) are provided for further discharging the air flow flowing out from the opening to the outside as the speaker is operated. Cover members (for example, lower right side cover 8ba, under cover 8c, etc.),
The direction of the air flow flowing out from the opening in accordance with the operation of the speaker is switched between a first direction (for example, a direction going straight from the opening 10 ec) and a second direction (for example, a direction going out from the opening 10 ec and the like). Possible air flow direction switching means (for example, the air blowing mechanism 110),
The air flow direction switching means is provided between the speaker unit and the cover member,
When the direction of the air flow is switched to the first direction by the air flow direction switching means, the air flow is guided toward the first discharge part, while the air flow direction switching means When the flow direction is switched to the second direction, the air flow is guided toward the second discharge portion.

  According to such a configuration, an air flow flows out from the opening of the enclosure as sound is output from the speaker. At this time, if the direction of the air flow is switched to the first direction, the air flow is guided toward the first discharge unit, so that the player can feel the wind and also the sound from the speaker. On the other hand, when the direction of the air flow is switched to the second direction, the air flow is guided toward the second discharge unit, so that the player can feel the wind through the first discharge unit.

<Appendix 8-3>
The gaming machine of appendix 4-3 is as follows.

[Background technology]
The present invention relates to a gaming machine represented by a pachinko gaming machine or the like.

  This type of gaming machine, such as a pachinko gaming machine, is configured to perform various effects as the game progresses. The effect is based on video using a liquid crystal display device, the effect based on light using an LED, etc. Various effects such as effects by sound using a sound or effects by physical behavior using a movable device are performed.

  For example, as a conventional gaming machine, two lenses having different light transmittances are provided so as to be adjacent to each other, and even if the amount of light from the light source is the same, one of them looks bright depending on the transmittance of the two lenses. There has been proposed one that looks dark on the other adjacent side (see, for example, JP-A-2011-87778).

[Summary of Invention]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above conventional gaming machine, since the exit surfaces of the two lenses that emit light are aligned at the same height position, the effect that the emitted light is mixed and the visibility is moderately effective is effective. There was a difficulty that it could not be demonstrated.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of producing a clear difference in the visibility of light and thus realizing a novel light effect. .

A substrate on which the plurality of light emitting means are provided (for example, a light emitting substrate 144);
A plurality of light guide members (for example, a light shielding member 145, light guide members 146a to 146c, etc.) provided in front of the plurality of light emitting means;
A translucent front cover (e.g., front cover 141) provided in front of the plurality of light guide members,
The plurality of light emitting means includes
First light emitting means (for example, LED 144b);
Second light emitting means (for example, LED 144a etc.) disposed at a position different from the first light emitting means,
The plurality of light guide members are:
A first light guide member (for example, a light shielding member 145) having a reflection portion (for example, a peripheral edge portion of the opening 145c) that scatters light from the first light emitting means and forwards the light forward;
An incident end face (for example, incident rear end faces 146aa, 146ba, 146ca) that receives light from the second light emitting means, and an outgoing end face (for example, outgoing front end faces 146ab, 146bb) that emits light while diffusing the light from the incident end face. , 146cb) having a second light guide member (e.g., light guide members 146a to 146c).
The front cover has a translucent surface (for example, a front surface portion 141a),
The second light guide member is formed of a flat light guide member arranged so that the emission end surface is along the back surface of the light transmitting surface,
The incident end surface is formed with a first lens cut that diffuses light into the longitudinal direction of the flat plate into the second light guide member,
The exit end face has a shape different from that of the first lens cut, and is formed with a second lens cut that diffuses light that has been incident and guided to the entrance end face outward. A gaming machine.

  According to such a configuration, the emission end surface serving as one end surface of the flat plate-like second light guide member is disposed along the inclined light-transmitting surface of the front cover, and the incident end surface of the second light guide member is A first lens cut that diffuses light in the longitudinal direction of the flat plate is formed, while a second lens cut that diffuses light outward in a shape different from the first lens cut is formed on the exit end face Therefore, the second light guide member efficiently guides the light from the light emitting means to the light transmitting surface through the incident end surface to the light emitting end surface, while the first light guide member reflects the reflected light. Since the light can be guided to a light-transmitting surface, a clear difference can be caused in the visibility of these lights, and a novel light effect can be realized. Further, in the second light guide member, the first lens cut on the incident end face makes incident while diffusing the light in the longitudinal direction of the flat plate, and efficiently advances the light into the flat second light guide member. On the other hand, on the exit end face of the second light guide member, the light guided from the entrance end face to the inside can be efficiently diffused outward, so color unevenness is eliminated and light is efficiently emitted.
