The engaging projection 65T of the remaining driven part 65 is pushed to the left facing side of the inner surface of the long hole 65N of the preceding driven part 65.

  Next, power transmission from the drive source 44 to the drive part 64 will be described. This power transmission is performed via the relay lever 71 shown in FIGS. The relay lever 71 is in the form of a strip extending linearly in the vertical direction, and is stacked on the rear surface of the support plate 53 of the slide base 51. The lower end portion of the relay lever 71 is connected to a rotary disc 72 attached to the lower end portion of the rear surface of the support plate 53. In addition, in detail, the rotary disc 72 has a teardrop shape in which a triangular plate is connected to the disc from the lower left side, and the relay lever 71 is coupled to the triangular plate portion.

  The rotating disk 72 has a rotation axis in the thickness direction of the support plate 53, and is rotatably attached to the support plate 53. The rotation shaft portion 72J of the rotating disk 72 penetrates the lower end portions of the support plate 53 and the plurality of driven parts 65, and communicates with the lower end portion of the main moving part 64 (see FIG. 4) of the movable decorative portion 61. Then, the main moving part 64 is configured to rotate integrally with the rotating plate 72.

  An intermediate portion of the relay lever 71 is connected to a swing lever 73 rotatably attached to the support plate 53. The rocking lever 73 is disposed above the rotary disc 72, and the distance from the rotation center of the rocking lever 73 to the connecting portion of the rocking lever 73 and the relay lever 71 is the rotary disc from the rotational center of the rotary disc 72. It is the same as the distance to 72 and the connection part of the relay lever 71. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the relay lever 71 is connected to the rotary disc 72 and the rocking lever 73 arranged in the vertical direction, it is stable in the vertical direction as the rotary disc 72 and the rocking lever 73 rotate. It is possible to move to

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the upper end portion of the relay lever 71 is provided with an engaging protrusion 71T that protrudes rearward. The engagement protrusion 71T engages with a guide groove 55 formed on the front surface of the main plate 42 of the fixed base 41. The guide groove 55 is provided at the both ends with a first linear portion 55A and a second linear portion 55B vertically extending in the left-right direction, and is extended so as to intersect the left-right direction. An intermediate communication unit 56 is provided at an intermediate portion for connecting the 55A and the second straight portion 55B. In detail, the first straight portion 55A disposed on the left side (shown on the right in FIGS. 8 and 9) is located below the second straight portion 55B disposed on the right side, and the middle connecting portion 56 , It inclines upward to the right and is gently curved in a circular arc shape that is convex downward.

  Now, when the slide base 51 moves from the first slide position to the second slide position by receiving power from the drive source 44, the relay lever 71 supported by the support plate 53 of the slide base 51 is also moved along with the movement of the slide base 51. Move to the right. Here, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, in the state where the slide base 51 is disposed at the first slide position, the engagement projection 71T of the relay lever 71 is formed on the first straight portion 55A of the guide groove 55. It is accepted. Then, when the slide base 51 moves toward the second slide position, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the engagement protrusion 71T moves to the right in the guide groove 55 and is received by the intermediate communication portion 56. Be done. Here, since the intermediate communication portion 56 is inclined upward to the right, the engagement protrusion 71T is lifted by the lower surface of the intermediate communication portion 56 of the guide groove 55, and the relay lever 71 moves upward. Then, the rotary plate 72 rotates counterclockwise as viewed from the rear side of the support plate 53, and the main moving part 64 of the movable decorative portion 61 rotates integrally with the rotary plate 72.

  The relay lever 71 continues to rise while the engaging projection 71T moves the intermediate connecting portion 56 of the guide groove 55 along with the movement of the slide base 51 to the second slide position, and the main moving part 64 of the movable decorative portion 61. Continues to rotate integrally with the turntable 72. Then, when the engagement projection 71T passes through the intermediate communication portion 56 of the guide groove 55 and reaches the second straight portion 55B, the lifting of the relay lever 71 stops, and the rotation of the main moving part 64 of the movable decorative portion 61 also stops. Then, when the slide base 51 is disposed at the second slide position, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the engaging projection 71 T is received by the second linear portion 55 B of the guide groove 55, and the movable decorative portion 61 The main moving part 64 is disposed at the end position. At this time, the movable decorative portion 61 is in the unfolded state (see FIG. 6).

  When the slide base 51 returns from the second slide position to the first slide position, the engagement projection 71T moves to the left in the guide groove 55 as the slide base 51 moves. When the engagement projection 71T receives the intermediate communication portion 56, the engagement projection 71T is pushed down to the upper surface of the intermediate communication portion 56, and the relay lever 71 moves downward. Then, the rotary plate 72 rotates clockwise as viewed from the rear side of the support plate 53 (see the change from FIG. 13 to FIG. 11), and the main moving part 64 of the movable decoration 61 rotates integrally with the rotary plate 72. Do. When the engaging projection 71T passes through the intermediate communication portion 56 and reaches the first straight portion 55A, the lowering of the relay lever 71 stops and the rotation of the main moving part 64 of the movable decorative portion 61 also stops. Then, when the slide base 51 returns to the first slide position, the engagement protrusion 71T is received by the first straight portion 55A, and the main moving part 64 of the movable decorative portion 61 is disposed at the start position. At this time, the movable decorative portion 61 returns to the contracted state (see FIG. 3).

  In the gaming machine 10, when the movable decorative portion 61 returns from the unfolded state to the contracted state, the main moving part 64 moves against gravity. Therefore, when the movable decorative portion 61 returns to the contracted state, the load of the drive source 44 becomes larger than when the movable decorative portion 61 changes to the expanded state. In order to reduce the load of the drive source 44, the gaming machine 10 is provided with an assist spring 75 that assists the movement of the main moving part 64 against the gravity.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the assist spring 75 biases the relay lever 71 downward, thereby biasing the rotating plate 72 integrally rotating with the main moving part 64 in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from the rear side. Specifically, the assist spring 75 is hooked on a hook 75F provided on the lower end portion of the back surface of the support plate 53 and the middle portion of the relay lever 71 to bias the relay lever 71 downward.

  The assist spring 75 is longer than the natural length in a state where the slide base 51 is disposed at the first slide position (the position of the slide base 51 shown in FIGS. It is biased downward. Then, when the slide base 51 moves to the second slide position (the position of the slide base 51 shown in FIGS. 6 and 13) and the relay lever 71 moves upward, the biasing force of the assist spring 75 gradually becomes stronger.

  By the way, in the gaming machine 10, the relay lever 71 is biased downward even when the movable decorative portion 61 is in the unfolded state, so when the driving source 44 is turned off, the relay lever 71 receives the biasing force of the assist spring 75. It is conceivable that the movable decorative portion 61 returns to the contracted state by moving downward. However, in the gaming machine 10, when the movable decorative portion 61 is in the unfolded state, the engaging projection 71T of the relay lever 71 is the inner surface of the second linear portion 55B of the guide groove 55 (specifically, the second linear portion It comes in contact with the upper surface of the inner surface of the portion 55B). Here, the second straight portion 55B extends in a straight line in the left-right direction, and the engaging protrusion 71T is biased in a direction orthogonal to the second straight portion 55B, so the engaging protrusion 71T is a second straight line. It will not move along the part 55B. As a result, even if the drive source 44 is turned off when the movable decorative portion 61 is in the unfolded state, the relay lever 71 does not move downward, and the movable decorative portion 61 is prevented from returning to the contracted state. In other words, it is not necessary to turn on the drive source 44 in order to hold the movable decorative portion 61 in the unfolded state, and the load on the drive source 44 is reduced.

  The description regarding the configuration of the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is as described above. According to the gaming machine 10, it is possible to achieve the following excellent effects.

  According to the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, since the movable decorative portion 61 rotates while moving to the right, the movement of the movable decorative portion 61 can be diversified. Moreover, in the present configuration, the movement and rotation of the movable decorative portion 61 in the first direction are achieved by the single drive source 44, so control of the drive source 44 is greater than in the case where a plurality of drive sources are provided. It becomes easy.

  Further, in the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the engagement projection 71T moves along the guide groove 55 as the slide base 51 moves. And since the middle connection part 56 which inclines with respect to both the left-right direction and the up-down direction is provided in the middle part of the guide groove 55, by moving the slide base 51 to the left and right, the engagement protrusion 71T The relay lever 71 can be moved upward by moving upward. Thus, according to the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to move the relay lever upward with a simple configuration.

  In addition, the fixed base 41 is provided with a linear movement guide hole 42A extending in the lateral direction, and the slide base 51 is provided with a pair of engagement protrusions 52T, 52T that engage with the linear movement guide hole 42A.
