The right transmission shaft gear 695Rg, the right intermediate gear 694Rg, and the second right vertical feed screw gear 691g are provided in this order and mesh with the adjacent gears. The driving force of the second upper and lower motor 690 m is transmitted to the second right upper and lower feed screw 691 in the second right upper and lower transmission path 693 by the gear and the second left and right transmission shaft 695.

  That is, the second right upper and lower transmission path 693 has a second left and right transmission shaft 695 which traverses the inside of the game board unit YU in the left and right direction. The second left and right transmission shaft 695 is a path capable of transmitting the driving force in the horizontal direction. The second left and right transmission shaft 695 is inserted into the torsion coil spring 696. The left end portion 696 L of the torsion coil spring 696 is fixed to a fixing member 697 which does not rotate with the second left and right transmission shaft 695 as shown in FIG. The fixing member 697 is fixed to the frame of the rendering unit EU. For this reason, the left end portion 696L of the torsion coil spring 696 is configured not to rotate even when the second left and right transmission shaft 695 rotates.

  On the other hand, the right end portion 696 R of the torsion coil spring 696 shown in FIG. 13 is fixed to the second left and right transmission shaft 695 and is rotatable together with the second left and right transmission shaft 695. Therefore, by the rotation of the second right and left transmission shaft 695, the torsion coil spring 696 can store energy and release the stored energy. That is, the energy released from the torsion coil spring 696 is rotated by rotating the second right and left transmission shaft 695 in the direction in which the energy is released from the torsion coil spring 696 in the state where the energy is stored in the torsion coil spring 696. , And can be used to drive the second movable device 56.

  In this embodiment, the energy released from the torsion coil spring 696 can be transmitted to the second vertical movement unit 600, so that it can be used to assist the drive by the second vertical motor 690m. That is, only the driving force of the second upper and lower motor 690 m is driven by releasing the energy from the torsion coil spring 696 and driving the second upper and lower motor 690 m in the direction in which the second upper and lower moving unit 600 moves by the released energy. It is possible to move the second vertical movement unit 600 at a higher speed than in the case where the second vertical movement unit 600 is moved. As a result, it is possible to increase the force of the effect by the movement of the second vertical movement unit 600 and to further improve the interest. The second vertical movement unit 600 may be operated only by the energy released from the torsion coil spring 696.

  In the torsion coil spring 696 of this embodiment, energy is stored when the second left and right transmission shaft 695 rotates so that the second vertical movement portion 600 moves downward, and the second vertical movement portion 600 moves upward. The energy is released when it rotates as it does. Therefore, the energy stored in the torsion coil spring 696 is maximized when the second vertical movement unit 600 is positioned at the lowermost position. And in this form, the energy released from torsion coil spring 696 can be used for moving the 2nd up-and-down movement part 600 in the direction which resists gravity (upward). Therefore, it is possible to increase the upward moving speed of the second vertical movement unit 600, which tends to decrease the moving speed depending on the weight. Furthermore, it is possible to set the acceleration of the second vertical movement unit 600 large, for example, to make the initial speed of movement of the second vertical movement unit 600 fast.

  In addition, the second vertical movement unit 600 has a second bridge portion 603 that connects the second left upper and lower portions 601 and the second right upper and lower portions 602. Both left and right end portions of the second bridge portion 603 are fixed to the second left upper and lower portions 601 and the second right upper and lower portions 602, respectively. The second left and right moving unit 610 is provided in the second bridge portion 603 of the second vertical moving unit 600.

  FIG. 14 is an exploded perspective view of the second left and right moving unit 610. As shown in FIG. 14, the upper and lower portions of the second bridge portion 603 are the left and right movement guide portion 604. In the lower part of the second bridge portion 603, a left and right moving rack portion 605 in which rack teeth are arranged in the left and right direction is provided. Grooves 606, 607, and 608 are formed on the front surface of the second bridge portion 603. The grooves 606, 607, and 608 are used to detect the position of the second horizontal movement unit 610, which will be described later, in the horizontal direction.

  In the second left and right moving portion 610, the outer left and right moving roller 611 whose outer peripheral surface is in contact with the upper surface of the left and right moving guide portion 604 of the second bridge portion 603; The moving rollers 612 are rotatably supported. That is, the upper left and right moving roller 611 and the lower left and right moving roller 612 of the second left and right moving portion 610 sandwich the second bridge portion 603 in the vertical direction. Further, the upper left and right moving roller 611 and the lower left and right moving roller 612 in this embodiment are provided with a flange, and the second bridge portion 603 is sandwiched from the front and rear direction by the flange. Accordingly, the second left and right moving unit 610 is supported so as to be movable along the second bridge unit 603.

  The second left and right movement unit 610 has a second left and right movement base 613. The second left and right movement base 613 is a base member provided with the upper left and right movement roller 611, the lower left and right movement roller 612, and the like. In addition, the second left and right moving unit 610 has a second left and right moving mechanism unit 620 that constitutes a mechanism for moving in the left and right direction. The second left and right movement mechanism unit 620 is provided with a second left and right motor 610m and the like that are drive sources for movement of the second left and right movement unit 610 in the left and right direction. Each component of the second left and right movement mechanism 620 is attached to the second left and right movement base 613 together with the second left and right movement holder 614.

  Further, the second left and right moving mechanism unit 620 is provided with a left and right position detecting unit 640 used to detect the position of the second left and right moving unit 610 in the left and right direction. The left and right position detection unit 640 according to the present embodiment includes a first left and right position detection unit 640 a and a second left and right position detection unit 640 b located on the upper side thereof.

  In front of the second left and right moving part 610, a second front and rear axis rotating part 630 is provided. As shown in FIG. 14, the second front and rear axis rotating part 630 has a design part 631 constituting a design of the front surface, a substrate part 632 having electronic parts such as LEDs for light emission, and a rotation mechanism of the second front and rear axis rotating part 630. The rotation mechanism unit 635 is included. The design portion 631 has a decoration on its front surface 631a, and in this embodiment, is designed to imitate a soccer ball. The rotation mechanism unit 635 includes a second front and rear shaft rotation motor 630 m that is a drive source for rotational movement of the second front and rear shaft rotation unit 630.

  FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of the second left and right moving unit 610 at the position of the second left and right moving holder 614. Further, FIG. 15 shows a state in which the second left and right moving unit 610 is in the standby state at the lower right. As shown in FIG. 15, the second left and right movement holder 614 has a convex portion 614a that protrudes to the right.

  Further, FIG. 15 shows a stopper 59. In the present embodiment, the stopper 59 is fixed and does not move. Further, the stopper 59 has a convex portion 59 a that protrudes to the left. That is, the second left and right movement holder 614 has a convex portion 614 a protruding toward the stopper 59 side, and the stopper 59 has a convex portion 59 a protruding toward the second left and right movement holder 614 side. Further, the convex portion 59 a of the stopper 59 is provided above the convex portion 614 a of the second left and right moving holder 614 in the standby state.

  For this reason, the second movable device 56 of this embodiment can not move only upward from the standby state. That is, when trying to move upward only from the standby state, the convex portion 614 a of the second left and right moving holder 614 abuts on the convex portion 59 a of the stopper 59. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when in the standby state in which the energy stored in the torsion coil spring 696 is maximum, it is possible to set the restriction state in which the movement of the second vertical movement unit 600 is restricted. As a result, the second vertical movement unit 600 is prevented from moving at a timing that is not scheduled to be moved by the energy stored in the torsion coil spring 696.

  Then, the second vertical movement portion 600 is moved upward by moving the second horizontal movement holder 614 leftward from the standby state to a position where the convex portion 614a does not overlap the convex portion 59a of the stopper 59 in the horizontal direction. It can be in the movable restriction release state. Further, by setting the restriction release state, it is possible to cause the second vertical movement unit 600 to perform upward movement using the energy stored in the torsion coil spring 696. In this embodiment, the second vertical movement holder 614 is moved in the left-right direction to switch between the restriction state and the restriction release state of the second vertical movement unit 600. Such switching can be performed on the stopper 59 side. It can also be done by moving it.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram for describing the second left and right movement mechanism unit 620. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, the second left-right moving mechanism 620 has a motor gear 610 g, a first pinion transmission gear 621, a second pinion transmission gear 623, and a pinion 624. The motor gear 610g is provided to the second left and right motor 610m. Further, the motor gear 610g, the first pinion transmission gear 621, the second pinion transmission gear 623, and the pinion 624 are provided in this order and mesh with the adjacent gears. Thus, the driving force of the second left and right motor 610m is transmitted to the pinion 624. Further, the pinion 624 meshes with the left and right moving rack portion 605. Therefore, the second left and right moving unit 610 can move along the second bridge portion 603 by the driving force of the second left and right motor 610m.

  Further, the second lateral movement mechanism unit 620 is provided with a slack suppressing unit 650. The slack suppression unit 650 includes a suppression rotation member 651 rotatably provided with respect to the second left and right movement holder 614. A cable support roller 655 is rotatably provided on the suppression rotation member 651. Further, the restraining and rotating member 651 has a cylindrical shape, and an internal gear 651g is formed on the inner wall surface thereof. Furthermore, the slack suppression unit 650 includes a first suppression transmission gear 656 and a second suppression transmission gear 657 which mesh with each other. The first suppression transmission gear 656 is in mesh with the pinion 624, and the second suppression transmission gear 657 is in mesh with the internal gear 651g.

  Accordingly, in the slack suppressing portion 650, the cable support roller 655 is rotationally moved around the central axis of the internal gear 651g by the driving force of the second left and right motor 610m. That is, the cable support roller 655 is rotationally moved in accordance with the movement of the second left and right moving unit 610 in the left and right direction. The direction of the rotational movement of the cable support roller 655 in FIG. 16 is clockwise when the second left and right moving unit 610 moves leftward, and is counterclockwise when the second left and right moving unit 610 moves rightward. .

  FIG. 16 also shows the cable 615 connected to the second left and right moving unit 610. In the present embodiment, the cable 615 is a flexible flat cable having a longitudinal direction and a short direction in a cross section orthogonal to the wiring direction. The cable 615 can supply power to sensors, drive sources, and the like provided in the second left and right moving unit 610, and can transmit and receive signals.

  The first fixed position 616 of the cable 615 is fixed to the second right upper and lower portion 602, and the second fixed position 617 is fixed to the second left and right moving portion 610. Specifically, the second fixed position 617 is fixed to the second left and right movement holder 614. For this reason, the second fixed position 617 does not move along with the rotation of the suppression rotation member 651.

  In addition, the support point 618 between the first fixed position 616 and the second fixed position 617 of the cable 615 is wound around the cable support roller 655. Thereby, the cable support roller 655 supports the surface on the inner peripheral side of the bent portion by the outer peripheral surface, while using the support portion 618 of the cable 615 as the bent portion.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram for describing an operation of the slack suppressing unit 650 accompanying the movement of the second left and right moving unit 610. FIG. 17A shows the case where the second left and right moving unit 610 is located at the right end, and FIG. 17B shows the case where the second left and right moving unit 610 is located at the left end. There is. When the second left and right moving part 610 is positioned at the right end, as shown in FIG. 17A, the cable support roller 655 of the slack suppressing part 650 is located at the lower left of the second left and right moving part 610 For example, it is located at about 8 o'clock). On the other hand, when the second left and right moving portion 610 is positioned at the left end, as shown in FIG. 17B, the cable support roller 655 of the slack suppressing portion 650 is located above the second left and right moving portion 610 If it compares with the board, it is located at about 12 o'clock).

  In addition, when the second left and right moving portion 610 is positioned at the right end (FIG. 17A), the cable 615 is located at the lower left of the second left and right moving portion 610. The portion wound around the outer periphery of the suppression rotation member 651 of the slack suppression portion 650 is long. At this time, the unsupported section 615a of the cable 615 is short.

  On the other hand, when the second left and right moving portion 610 is located at the left end (FIG. 17B), the cable 615 is located on the second left and right moving portion 610 because the cable support roller 655 is located above the second left and right moving portion 610. The portion wound around the outer periphery of the suppression rotation member 651 is short. Further, at this time, the non-supporting section 615a of the cable 615 is longer than when the second left and right moving portion 610 is positioned at the right end (FIG. 17A).

  That is, the slack suppressing portion 650 of the present embodiment rotationally moves the cable support roller 655 so that the length of the non-supporting section 615 a becomes shorter as the second left and right moving portion 610 is positioned at the right end. . In the present embodiment, the tension of the cable 615 is maintained within a certain range by the operation of the slack suppressing portion 650 accompanying the movement of the second left and right moving portion 610, and the slack is suppressed. That is, when the cable supporting roller 655 sets the appropriate position of the cable 615 as the supporting point 618 in accordance with the length of the non-supporting section 615a and forms the bending point appropriately, the non-supporting section 615a is long. The detour section is formed so as to appropriately absorb the difference between the and the short time.

  In the cable 615, when a slack occurs due to the tension being lowered too much, for example, the slack portion may be pinched between the movable portion and the fixed portion and may be damaged. However, in the present embodiment, the slack in the unsupported section 615 a of the cable 615 is appropriately suppressed by the slack suppression portion 650. Therefore, in the cable 615 in which the slack is suppressed, the damage is appropriately suppressed.

  Furthermore, the cable 615 tends to be particularly prone to twisting or waviness at the bend in the detour section formed to suppress sag. And, the occurrence of the twist or waviness may accelerate the deterioration of the cable 615 and may be damaged. However, in the present embodiment, since the inflection point is the support point 618 supported by the cable support roller 655, the twist and waviness in the inflection point are appropriately suppressed. Therefore, deterioration or damage of the cable 615 is appropriately suppressed. As a result, malfunction of the second left and right moving unit 610 and the like are suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the non-supporting section 615a of the cable 615 of the present embodiment is provided such that the wiring direction extends horizontally (left-right direction). Thus, the unsupported section 615 a of the cable 615 is provided in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the second bridge portion 603. In addition, the non-supporting section 615 a of the cable 615 is provided to extend in the moving direction of the second left and right moving unit 610. For example, when the non-supporting section 615 a of the cable 615 is provided to intersect the longitudinal direction of the second bridge 603 and the moving direction of the second left and right moving unit 610, the movement of the second left and right moving unit 610 The movement of the unsupported section 615a of the cable 615 accompanying the above becomes a noticeable operation such that the player feels uncomfortable. In such a case, the player may not be able to concentrate on the image displayed on the image display device 50 behind the unsupported section 615a, which may hinder the effect. However, in this embodiment, the unsupported section 615a is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the second bridge portion 603 and the moving direction of the second left and right moving section 610 so that the movement of the unsupported section 615a is not noticeable. It has become. Therefore, the game interest is improved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the slack suppressing unit 650 is operated by the driving force of the second left and right motor 610m that moves the second left and right moving unit 610 in the left and right direction. That is, there is no drive source only for operating the slack suppression unit 650. For this reason, the number of drive sources is reduced. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the slack suppression unit 650 is inexpensive and saves space. That is, for example, the second left and right moving unit 610 does not become larger than necessary, and the movable range is sufficiently secured, and a wide range can be moved.

  FIG. 18 shows the rotation mechanism portion 635 of the second front and rear axis rotation portion 630. As shown in FIG. 18, the rotation mechanism 635 includes a motor gear 630g provided on the motor shaft of the second front and rear shaft rotary motor 630m, a first intermediate gear 636, a second intermediate gear 637, and a second front and rear shaft rotating member 638. Have. The second front and rear axis rotating member 638 is provided rotatably with respect to the second left and right movement holder 614.

  Further, a design portion 631 having a design of a soccer ball on the front surface 631 a is provided in front of the second front and rear axis rotating member 638. Furthermore, the second front and rear shaft rotating member 638 has a cylindrical shape, and an internal gear 638 g is formed on the inner wall surface thereof. The motor gear 630g, the first intermediate gear 636, the second intermediate gear 637, and the internal gear 638g are provided in this order, and the adjacent gears mesh with each other.

  For this reason, the second front and rear axis rotation unit 630 can perform rotation effect about the rotation axis extending in the front and rear direction by the driving force of the second front and rear axis rotation motor 630m. Then, the design portion 631 is rotated by this rotation effect, and an effect that makes the soccer ball appear to be rotating is possible.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining a left and right position detection unit 640 for detecting the position of the second vertical movement unit 600 in the left and right direction. 19 (A) shows a cross-sectional view at the position X-X shown in FIG. 17, and FIG. 19 (B) shows a cross-sectional view at the position Y-Y shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 19A is a cross-sectional view on a path through which the first left and right position detection unit 640a passes by the movement of the second left and right moving unit 610 in the left and right direction. FIG. 19B is a cross-sectional view on a path through which the second left and right position detection unit 640b passes by the movement of the second left and right moving unit 610 in the left and right direction. Further, FIG. 19 shows the case where the second left and right moving unit 610 is positioned at the right end.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, the first left and right position detection unit 640a has a contact terminal 641, a spring 642, and a first detection sensor 643. The spring 642 can bias the contact terminal 641 toward the second bridge portion 603. Thus, the contact terminal 641 can contact its tip 641a with the surface of the second bridge portion 603.

  The first detection sensor 643 is a photomicro sensor provided on the opposite side to the tip 641 a of the contact terminal 641, and is provided at a position where the optical axis is not blocked by the contact terminal 641 when the contact terminal 641 protrudes. . The optical axis of the first detection sensor 643 is blocked by the recessed contact terminal 641 in the retracted state in which the contact terminal 641 is retracted more than the projecting state. Therefore, the left / right position detection unit 640 can detect whether the contact terminal 641 is in the projecting state or the pulling-in state by the detection signal of the first detection sensor 643.

  As shown in FIG. 19B, the configuration of the second left and right position detection unit 640b is the same as that of the first left and right position detection unit 640a. That is, the second left and right position detection unit 640 b includes the contact terminal 645, the spring 646, and the second detection sensor 647. Then, based on the detection signal of the second detection sensor 647, it can be detected whether the contact terminal 645 is in the projecting state or in the retracted state. Further, in the present embodiment, both the first detection sensor 643 and the second detection sensor 647 use a light-on type which is turned on when light is incident. Therefore, the detection signals of the first detection sensor 643 and the second detection sensor 647 are respectively ON when the member to be detected is in the projecting state, and is OFF when the member is in the retracted state. Note that, unlike the present embodiment, it is also possible to use a light-off type.

  Further, as described above, the grooves 606, 607, and 608 are formed in the second bridge portion 603. As shown in FIG. 19A, the grooves 606 and 607 of the second bridge portion 603 are provided on the passing path of the first left and right position detection portion 640a. Further, in FIG. 19, positions a to e are shown as positions of the second bridge portion 603 in order from the right. Then, specifically, the groove 606 is formed in the section ab from the position a to the position b. The groove 607 is formed in a section de from the position d to the position e.

  On the other hand, no groove is formed in the section bc and the section cd from the position b to the position d on the passage route of the first left and right position detection unit 640a. Therefore, the detection signal of the first detection sensor 643 is turned on when the contact terminal 641 is in the section ab or the section de, and is turned off when the contact terminal 641 is in the section bc or the section cd.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19B, the groove 608 of the second bridge portion 603 is provided on the passage path of the second left and right position detection portion 640b. The groove 608 is formed in a section cd and a section de from the position c to the position e. On the other hand, no groove is formed in the section ab and the section bc from the position a to the position c on the passage route of the second left and right position detection unit 640b. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19C, the detection signal of the second detection sensor 647 is ON when the contact terminal 645 is in the section cd or section de, and is OFF when in the section ab or section bc. Become.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19C, in the section ab, the section bc, the section cd, and the section de, the first detection sensor 643 and the second left and right position detection section 640b of the first left and right position detection section 640a respectively The combination of detection signals of the two detection sensors 647 is different. That is, it is possible to detect four positions of the section ab, the section bc, the section cd, and the section de as the positions of the second horizontal movement unit 610 using the two first detection sensors 643 and the second detection sensor 647. It has become. Thus, in the present embodiment, as the position of the second horizontal movement unit 610, it is possible to accurately detect more positions than the number of sensors.

  This is because the detection unit is attached to the second left and right moving unit 610 side which is the movable unit. That is, unlike the present embodiment, when two sensors relatively fixed to the movable movable part are used, it is not possible to detect as many positions of the movable part. For example, conventionally, as the position of the movable portion, two sensors which are fixed relative to the movable portion are used, and two positions at which one of the two sensors detects the movable portion are detected. In contrast to such conventional techniques, in the present embodiment, the number of sensors is reduced, and at the same time, more movable positions can be detected.

  And in this form, since many can be detected as a position of the 2nd horizontal movement part 610, a position of the 2nd horizontal movement part 610 can be grasped more correctly. Thereby, in the present embodiment, it is possible to appropriately control the second left and right moving unit 610. For example, by being able to accurately detect the position of the second left and right moving unit 610, it is possible to detect this when the second left and right moving unit 610 is at an incorrect position. As a result, the second left and right moving unit 610 in the wrong position can be moved to an appropriate position. And it is possible to prevent that the 2nd left-right movement part 610 exists in the wrong position, and to fully exhibit the rendering effect by the 2nd left-right movement part 610.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the sections ab, bc, cd, and de are not equal. In other words, there are sections with different lengths. This is due to the priority of position detection. That is, in the present embodiment, the section ab and the section de at both ends are shorter than the section bc and the section cd between them. For this reason, in the present embodiment, it is possible to more accurately detect the position of the second left and right moving unit 610 in the sections ab and de at both ends. Then, by enhancing detection accuracy at both end positions in the movement direction of the second left and right moving part 610, the second left and right moving part 610 can be accurately controlled to the end of the movable range. Therefore, the movable range of the second left and right moving unit 610 is utilized to the full, and a more powerful and highly entertaining effect is possible.

  In FIG. 20, the movable range 56h of the second movable device 56 is shown. As shown in FIG. 20, the second movable device 56 can freely move the design portion 631 within the movable range 56h by the second vertical movement unit 600 and the second horizontal movement unit 610. This is because the movement direction (vertical direction) of the second vertical movement unit 600 intersects with the movement direction (horizontal direction) of the second horizontal movement unit 610.

  Furthermore, the movable range 56h of the second movable device 56 has a wide range because the size in the vertical direction and the lateral direction is sufficiently secured. In particular, in the present embodiment, the moving range in the left and right direction of the second left and right moving unit 610 is large. This is because, in the present embodiment, the slack suppressing portion 650 is provided in the second left and right moving portion 610.

  That is, for example, unlike the present embodiment, when the slack suppressing portion for the cable connected to the second left and right moving portion is provided in the second right upper and lower portions, the configuration of the second right upper and lower portions becomes large. . On the other hand, the second left and right moving part having the decoration on the front face does not become so small even when the slack suppressing part is not provided. This is because a certain size is required to exert the function as the movable part or the decorative part. For this reason, the second left and right moving part can not be so close to the large second right upper and lower part. That is, in such a case, there is a possibility that the moving range in the left and right direction of the second left and right moving unit may be narrowed.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the slack suppressing portion 650 is provided in the second left and right moving portion 610. For this reason, the second right upper and lower portions 602 are small. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 20, at least a part of the slack suppressing portion 650 overlaps the rear of the design portion 631 that decorates the second left and right moving portion 610. Specifically, in the slack suppressing portion 650 of the present embodiment, the portion overlapping the rear of the design portion 631 is larger. Thus, in the present embodiment, the slack suppressing unit 650 is provided in the second left and right moving unit 610 without increasing the size of the second left and right moving unit 610 so much. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the second left and right moving portion 610 can be sufficiently approached to the second right upper and lower portions 602. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the moving range in the left and right direction of the second left and right moving unit 610 is large, and the movable range 65 h is wide.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the movable range 56 h overlaps the display unit 50 a of the image display device 50. For this reason, it is possible to perform various effects by combining the design portion 631 of the second horizontal movement unit 610 and the effect image displayed on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the overlap between the movable range 56h and the display unit 50a is large, and it is possible to perform more colorful effects. Further, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation of the jackpot varies depending on the position of the design portion 631 in the movable range 65 h. Specifically, it is possible to perform an effect in which the expectation of the jackpot becomes higher as the design portion 631 is farther from the position in the standby state (lower right). Therefore, in the present embodiment, by the wide movable range 65h, it is possible to represent the degree of expectation more colorfully, it is possible to improve the interest.

  By the way, as can be seen from FIG. 20, the second bridge portion 603 may be located in front of the display portion 50 a of the image display device 50. For this reason, it is preferable that the second bridge portion 603 be as inconspicuous as possible. This is because there is a possibility that the visibility of the effect image displayed on the display unit 50a may be reduced. So, in this form, the 2nd bridge part 603 is constituted by the thing of the transparent material (for example, transparent resin material) which can penetrate visible light.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the second bridge unit is provided with the left and right position detection unit 640 configured to detect the position of the second left and right movement unit 610, in the second left and right movement unit 610. It is not necessary for 603. This makes it possible to make the second bridge portion 603 a simple configuration. Furthermore, the second bridge portion 603 is configured to be visible to the player, and when a sensor such as a photomicro sensor is provided there, the sensor will be noticeable. However, in the present embodiment in which the second bridge portion 603 does not have a sensor, it is possible to improve the aesthetic appearance and to enhance the game interest.

  In addition, since the slack suppressing portion 650 is not intended for decoration, it is preferable that its visibility be low. On the other hand, as described above, at least a part of the slack suppression unit 650 of the present embodiment overlaps the back of the design unit 631 that decorates the second left and right moving unit 610. In other words, the design portion 631 has a size such that it overlaps at least a part of the slack suppressing portion 650 in front. As a result, the slack suppressing unit 650 is suppressed from being noticeable. Therefore, the fall of the aesthetics by the slack suppression part 650 being conspicuous is suppressed.

  In addition, as a matter of course, it is preferable that the visibility of the cable 615 be as low as possible. In the present embodiment, the cable 615 is a visible section in which the unsupported section 615a is visible to the player. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the non-supporting section 615a, the cable 615 is provided so that the longitudinal direction in the cross section orthogonal to the wiring direction matches the longitudinal direction. Thus, the player is faced with the short direction in the cross section orthogonal to the wiring direction of the cable 615. That is, the cable 615 has low visibility by directing the smallest surface of the cable 615 to the player.

  Furthermore, the slack suppressing portion 650 can adjust the length of the non-supporting section 615a of the cable 615 by rotationally moving the cable support roller 655, and can suppress the slack of the non-supporting section 615a. That is, when the non-supporting section 615a is shortened, the slack suppressing portion 650 in this embodiment lengthens the portion of the cable 615 wound around the outer periphery of the suppressing and rotating member 651. Thus, the detour path of the cable 615 can be made compact by forming the detour path of the cable 615 by winding and unrolling the cable 615 by rotation.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the portion of the cable 615 wound around the outer periphery of the suppression rotation member 651 overlaps the rear of the design portion 631 that decorates the second left and right moving portion 610. As a result, while the cable 615 is compactly wound around the outer periphery of the restraining rotation member 651, the wound portion is not noticeable. Furthermore, as the second left and right moving portion 610 is positioned at the right end, the portion of the cable 615 wound around the outer periphery of the suppression rotation member 651 is made longer. Thereby, the fall of the aesthetics by the cable 615 being conspicuous is suppressed.

  Further, the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 is a decorative unit that is particularly frequently viewed by the player. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as described above, the configuration that is not intended for the decoration that may be located in front of the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 is less likely to be viewed by the player. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the effect image displayed on the display unit 50a is not disturbed, and it is possible to enhance the game interest.

  Further, the image display device 50 according to the present embodiment displays, on the display unit 50a, an image that complements the decorative surface (the first decorative surface 540a, the second decorative surface 540b) of the first swinging unit 540 in the first movable device 55. It is something that can be done. As described above, the decoration applied to the first decorative surface 540a and the second decorative surface 540b of this embodiment is only the bust-up portion of the character imitating a human being, and by itself, the rendering effect by the first movable device 55 May not be fully exerted. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by causing the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 to display an image that complements the decoration of the first movable device 55, the rendering effect by the first movable device 55 is sufficiently exhibited. It is possible to improve the interest.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of effects using the first movable device 55 and the image display device 50. As shown in FIG. FIG. 21A shows a first running state of the first movable device 55, and FIG. 21B shows a second running state of the first movable device 55. As shown in FIG. In the first running state, as shown in FIG. 21A, the first left and right moving portion 500 is inclined downward to the right as a result of the first left upper and lower portion 510 being positioned on the upper side. . Further, in the first running state, the first swinging portion 540 takes a position biased to the first right upper and lower portion 520 side. That is, a position closer to the first right upper and lower portion 520 than the first left upper and lower portion 510 is taken.

  On the other hand, in the second running state shown in FIG. 21B, the first left and right moving part 500 is inclined upward as a whole because the first left upper part 510 is located on the upper side. Further, in the second running state, the first swinging portion 540 takes a position biased to the first left upper and lower portion 510 side. That is, a position closer to the first left upper and lower portion 510 than the first right upper and lower portion 520 is taken.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 21, in the example of the present effect, the first movable device 55 alternately repeats the first running state and the second running state. Thereby, it is possible to cause the first swinging portion 540 (a bust up portion of the character) of the first movable device 55 to perform an operation as it is running. Therefore, by alternately performing the first running state and the second running state, the first swinging portion 540 which is the bust-up portion of the character may reproduce the complicated movement of the shoulder when the character runs. It is possible to make it work.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21 (A), in the first running state, the first left front-rear axis rotating portion 550 imitating the right arm has an abducted position opened outward, and the first right side imitating the left arm The front and rear axis rotating portion 560 is allowed to assume an internally closed position. Furthermore, in the second running state shown in FIG. 21 (B), the first left front-rear axis rotating portion 550 imitating the right arm has an inner rotation position closed inside, and the first right front-rear axis rotating imitating the left arm The part 560 has an outwardly open abduction position.

  Then, the operations of the first left front and rear axis rotating portion 550 and the first right front and rear axis rotating portion 560 are performed in accordance with the operation of the first swinging portion 540 as described above. The 1 movable device 55 can perform an effect as if the complicated running motion in the bust-up portion of the character is more accurately reproduced.

  However, it is possible that the movement only in the bust-up portion of the running character may not be sufficiently interesting. On the other hand, for example, the running motion of the lower body portion of the character is more complicated, and it is difficult to provide a movable device that naturally reproduces such motion. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, the display unit 50 a of the image display device 50 displays a portion that is insufficient for the first movable device 55. That is, the image display device 50 in the main effect displays a portion below the chest of the running character as the complementary image 51 on the display unit 50 a. The complementary image 51 is an image corresponding to the state of the first movable device 55, as shown in FIGS. 21 (A) and 21 (B). Thereby, the first movable device 55 and the image display device 50 can perform an effect using a design configured to be seen in an integrated manner. That is, by using the first movable device 55 and the image display device 50 in combination, it is possible to perform an operation effect in which a character with a sufficiently high interest value runs.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment includes a design portion 631 on which a soccer ball is decorated. Therefore, an effect of moving or rotating the design portion 631 may be performed in accordance with the running motion of the character shown in FIG. Thereby, for example, it is possible to perform an effect in which the character is performing dribbling of soccer, which can further enhance the interest.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of effects using the first movable device 55 and the image display device 50 different from those of FIG. In the effect shown in FIG. 22, the first movable device 55 is in a reverse state in which the second decorative surface 540 b of the first swinging portion 540 faces forward. Further, as shown in FIG. 22, also in the main effect, the image display device 50 displays an image of a portion below the chest of the character on the display unit 50a.

  However, in the present effect, as shown in FIG. 22, the first swinging portion 540 is in the reverse state, so that the bust-up portion of the character appears upside down with respect to FIG. Therefore, in the present effect, the image display device 50 displays the image of the portion lower than the chest of the character upside down with respect to FIG. 21 in accordance with the first swinging portion 540 in the reverse state. ing. Further, the image display device 50 in the main effect displays the complementary image 51 in a state in which the character kicks the soccer ball with his / her foot. Therefore, the first movable device 55 and the image display device 50 according to the present effect can perform an effect in which the character performs an overhead kick as an effect constituting the design that can be seen integrally. Although the soccer ball image is displayed by the image display device 50 in the present effect, the design portion 631 provided with the decoration of the soccer ball included in the second movable device 56 may be used instead of the soccer ball image. Good.

  Here, in general, the decoration by the movable portion having an entity such as the first movable device 55 is easier to catch the player's eyes than the decoration by the effect image displayed on the display unit 50 a of the image display device 50 , Tend to stand out. On the other hand, there is a limit to the decoration by the movable part, and it tends to be impossible to perform an operation that is too complicated. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the design is viewed integrally by the first movable device 55 that stands out and the image display device 50 that can display a complicated effect image, thereby providing higher gaming interest. It has become possible to produce a presentation.

  Further, the image display device 50 of the present embodiment can also display an image corresponding to the design portion 631 of the second movable device 56 on the display unit 50a. For example, by displaying the front view of the soccer goal on the image display device 50 and moving or rotating the design portion 631 imitating a soccer ball within the movable range 56h, it is possible to produce a soccer shoot scene.

  At this time, it is also possible to have the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 also display a keeper character, and have the character perform an action of jumping toward the design portion 631. That is, in the present embodiment, it is possible to perform an effect of causing the image display device 50 to display an effect image according to the position of the design unit 631. In such a case, it is possible to produce an effect such that the expectation of the jackpot becomes higher as the design portion 631 moves to a position farther from the center inside the soccer goal (that is, near the outer edge of the movable range 56h).

  Further, as described above, in the second movable device 56 of the present embodiment, the moving speed of the design portion 631 to the upper side is fast due to the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 696. Then, by moving the design portion 631 in a short time to a position overlapping from the lower portion to the center or the lower portion to the upper portion of the display unit 50 a of the image display device 50, for example, a powerful shot scene can be rendered It is possible.

Each round game starts with the end of the OP or the end of the previous round game, and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ED. The closing time (interval time) of the winning opening during the round game is included in the opening round game before the closing.

  There are several types of jackpots. The type of jackpot is as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 25, in the present embodiment, the types of jackpots are roughly divided into two (V open jackpot and V non-open jackpot). The "V open jackpot" is a jackpot operating the big winning device 14D in an open pattern that allows passage of gaming balls to a specific area during the jackpot game. The “V non-opening jackpot” is a jackpot operating the big winning device 14D in an opening pattern in which passage of gaming balls to a specific area is impossible during the jackpot game.

  More specifically, the "V open jackpot" has a total number of rounds of 16R. The large winning opening 14 is opened up to 29.5 seconds per 1R from 1R to 16R. And in rounds other than 14R, let the distribution member which distributes a game ball to a specific area or a non-specific area be a state where a game ball passes a non-specific area. On the other hand, in 14R, the distributing member is in a state where the gaming ball passes through the specific area.

  On the other hand, "V non-opening jackpot" has a total number of rounds of 16R but a substantial total number of rounds of 13R. That is, although the large winning opening 14 is opened up to 29.5 seconds per 1R from 1R to 13R, the large winning opening 14 is opened only 0.1 second per 1R from 14R to 16R. Therefore, in this V non-opening jackpot from 14R to 16R, the opening time of the big winning opening is extremely short, making it an unforeseeable round of winning balls. That is, the V non-opening jackpot is the jackpot of 13R.

  Further, in the V non-opened jackpot, in all the rounds, the distributing member for distributing the gaming balls to the specific area or the non-specific area is in a state where the gaming balls pass through the non-specific area. It should be noted that the V non-opening jackpot may operate the distribution member in such a manner that the game ball can not substantially pass through the specific area as long as the game ball can not substantially pass through the specific area.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game is shifted to the high probability state described later based on the passage of the gaming ball to the specific area in the jackpot game. Therefore, when the V open jackpot is won, the game state after the jackpot game can be shifted to the high probability state by passing the gaming ball to the specific area during the execution of the jackpot game. On the other hand, when winning a V non-opening jackpot, since it is not possible to pass the game ball to a specific area during the execution of the jackpot game, the gaming state after the jackpot game is the normal probability state described later (Non-high probability state).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 25, the distribution ratio of the jackpot in the lottery of the first special symbol (special figure 1) is 50% for the V open jackpot and 50% for the V non open jackpot. On the other hand, all jackpots won in the second special symbol (special figure 2) lottery are V open jackpots. That is, when the jackpot is won by the lottery based on the winning of the second starting opening 12 which can be entered by execution of the electric support control described later, it always becomes the V open jackpot. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the gaming ball is won in the second starting opening 12 rather than the jackpot lottery (lottery of the first special symbol) performed by the gaming ball being won in the first starting opening 11 The jackpot lottery (lottery for the second special symbol) to be played is set to be advantageous to the player.

  Here, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, a lottery for determining whether or not a jackpot is performed is performed based on the "jackpot random number", and a lottery for winning jackpot type is performed based on the "hit type random number". As shown in FIG. 26A, the jackpot random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 65535. The hit type random number takes a value in the range of 0-9. The random numbers acquired based on the winning on the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12 include “reach random numbers” and “variation pattern random numbers” in addition to the jackpot random number and the per type random number.

  The reach random number is a random number that determines whether or not reach is to be generated in the effect design variation effect indicating the result when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss. The variation pattern random number is a random number for determining a variation pattern including a variation time. The fluctuation pattern random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 127. Further, the random numbers acquired based on the passage of the gate 13 include the normal symbol random numbers (performing random numbers) shown in FIG. 26 (B). The normal symbol random number is a random number for a lottery (normal symbol lottery) as to whether or not to perform the auxiliary game to open the electric chew 12D. Normal symbol random numbers take values in the range of 0-255.

4. Description of gaming state Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment will be described. The special view display 81 and the common view display 82 of the pachinko gaming machine PY 1 have a probability change function and a change time shortening function, respectively. The state in which the probability fluctuation function of the special view display 81 is operating is referred to as a "high probability state", and the state not operating is referred to as a "normal probability state (non-high probability state)". In the high probability state, the jackpot probability is higher than the normal probability state. That is, the jackpot determination is performed using the jackpot determination table in which the value of the jackpot random number determined to be the jackpot is larger than the jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (see FIG. 27A). That is, when the probability change function of the special view display 81 is activated, the probability that the display result of the variable display of the special symbol by the special view display 81 (that is, the stop pattern) becomes a big hit design Becomes higher.

  Further, a state in which the fluctuation time shortening function of the special view display 81 is operating is referred to as a "time saving state", and a state not operating is referred to as a "non-time saving state". In the time saving state, the variation time of the special symbol (the time from the start of the variation display to the time of derivation display of the display result) is shorter than the non-time saving state. That is, the variation pattern is determined using the variation pattern table which is determined such that the selection of the variation pattern having the short variation time is more than in the non-short time state (see FIG. 28). That is, when the fluctuation time shortening function of the special view display 81 is activated, a short fluctuation time can be easily selected as the fluctuation time of the variable display of the special symbol, as compared to when it is not activated. As a result, in the time saving state, the pace of the special figure reserve is increased, and a valid winning to the starting opening (a prize that can be stored as the special figure reserve) is easily generated. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a jackpot under the progress of a smooth game.

  The probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the special view display 81 may operate at the same time, or only one of them may operate. The probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the common drawing display 82 are operated in synchronization with the fluctuation time shortening function of the special drawing display 81. That is, the probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the general display 82 operate in the short time state and do not operate in the short time state. Therefore, in the time saving state, the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery is higher than in the non-time saving state. That is, the hit determination (determination of the normal symbol) is performed using the normal symbol collision determination table in which the value of the normal symbol random number (hit random number) determined to be a hit is greater than the normal symbol hit determination table used in the non-short time state See FIG. 27 (C)). In other words, when the probability fluctuation function of the generic display 82 is activated, the probability that the display result of the variable display of the normal symbol by the generic display 82 will normally be a symbol is higher than when it is not activated. .

  Moreover, in the time saving state, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shorter than the non-time saving state. In this embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 30 seconds in the non-short time state, but is 1 second in the short time state (see FIG. 27D). Furthermore, in the time saving state, the open time of the electric chow 12D in the auxiliary game is longer than in the non-time short state (see FIG. 29). That is, the open time extension function of the electric chew 12D is activated. In addition, in the time saving state, the number of times of opening the electric chow 12D in the auxiliary game is greater than in the non-time short state (see FIG. 29). That is, the function of increasing the number of times of opening the electric tube 12D is activated.

  In the situation where the probability fluctuation function and fluctuation time shortening function of the general display 82 and the open time extension function and open frequency increase function of the electric Chu 12D are activated, compared with the case where these functions are not activated. The electric chow 12D is frequently opened, and the gaming ball is frequently prized at the second starting opening 12. As a result, the base which is the ratio of the number of winning balls to the number of firing balls becomes high. Therefore, the state in which these functions are operating is referred to as the "high base state", and the non-operating state is referred to as the "low base state". In the high base state, it is possible to aim for a jackpot without significantly reducing the number of game balls on hand. The high base state is a state in which so-called power supply control (control to support winning of the second starting opening 12 by the power control 12D) is being executed.

  In the high base state (power support state), not all the above functions need to be activated. That is, the operation of one or more functions among the probability change function of the common drawing display 82, the change time shortening function of the common drawing display 82, the open time extension function of the electric chew 12D, and the open frequency increase function of the electric chew 12D. Thus, the electric chew 12D may be more easily released than when the function is not activated. Further, the high base state (power support control state) may be controlled independently without being associated with the short time state.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, the gaming state after the big hit game by winning to the V open big hit is a high probability state and a short time state and a high base state if passing to a specific area is made during the big hit game. It is. This gaming state is particularly called "high probability high base state". The high-accuracy high-base state ends when the variable display of the special symbol is executed a predetermined number of times (160 times in this embodiment) or the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is executed.

  In addition, the gaming state after the jackpot game by winning the V unopened jackpot, if the passage of a specific area has not been made during the jackpot game (not nearly done), the normal probability state (non-high probability state ie Low probability state) and short time state and high base state. This gaming state is particularly referred to as "low probability high base state". The low probability high base state ends when the variable display of the special symbol is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the present embodiment) or the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is executed.

  When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is played for the first time, the gaming state after the power is turned on is the normal probability state, the non-time-short state, and the low base state (non-power-supply control state). This gaming state is particularly called "low probability low base state". The low probability low base state may be referred to as the "normal game state". In addition, the state during the execution of the special game (big hit game) is referred to as "special game state (big hit game state)". Furthermore, a state controlled to at least one of the high probability state and the high base state is referred to as a "specific gaming state".

  In a high base state such as a high probability high base state or a low probability high base state, it is possible to advantageously advance the game if the game ball is made to enter the right gaming area 6B by right hitting. This is because the electric control 12D is more easily released than the low base state by the electric support control, and the winning of the second starting opening 12 is easier than the winning of the first starting opening 11. . Therefore, the game ball is passed to the gate 13 which is a trigger for the normal symbol lottery, and the right strike is performed to win the game ball to the second starting opening 12. As a result, it is possible to obtain a large number of start winnings (winnings on the starting opening) rather than hitting the left. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the game is played by right-handed even during the big hit game.

  On the other hand, in the low base state, it is possible to advance the game more advantageously if the game ball is made to enter the left gaming area 6A (see FIG. 19) by hitting left. Since the power support control is not executed, it is difficult to open the power choke 12D compared to the high base state, and it is easier to win the first starting opening 11 than winning the second starting opening 12 It is because it has become. Therefore, in order to win the game ball in the first starting opening 11, a left strike is performed. This makes it possible to obtain a large number of starting winnings rather than right-handed.

5. Operation of Pachinko Machine PY1 Next, the operation of the main control unit (such as the game control microcomputer 101) will be described based on FIG. 30, and the sub control unit (such as the presentation control microcomputer 121) will be described based on FIGS. The operation of will be described. First, the operation of the main control unit will be described.

  [Game Control Timer Interrupt Process] The game control microcomputer 101 of the main control unit repeats the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 30 every short time, for example, 4 msec. First, the game control microcomputer 101 determines the jackpot random number used for the jackpot lottery, the hit type random number for deciding the jackpot type, the reach random number for deciding whether or not to be the reach state in the fluctuation effect, and the fluctuation pattern. A random number updating process is performed to update the variation pattern random number, the normal symbol random number (per random number) used in the normal symbol lottery, and the like (S101). Note that at least a part of each random number may be a hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like. In addition, the random number generation circuit may be incorporated in the game control microcomputer 101.

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 performs an input process (S102). In the input process (S102), various sensors (general winning opening sensor 10a, first starting opening sensor 11a, second starting opening sensor 12a, special winning opening sensor 14a, etc. (FIG. 23) are mainly attached to the pachinko gaming machine PY1. Refer to the detection signal detected))), and set a winning ball command for paying out a winning ball according to the type of winning opening in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104. In addition, in the input process (S102), when there is a command output from the payout control board 170, the reception is performed.

  Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 executes a start opening sensor detection process (S103), a special operation process (S104) and a normal operation process (S105). In the starting opening sensor detection process (S103), if there is a winning detection by the first starting opening sensor 11a, random numbers such as a big hit random number (see FIG. 26A) are acquired on condition that the number of pending storages is less than four. Do. Further, if there is a winning detection by the second starting opening sensor 12a, a random number such as a big hit random number (see FIG. 26A) is acquired on condition that the number of reserved memories is less than four. Also, if there is passage detection by the gate sensor 13a, a normal symbol random number (see FIG. 26B) is acquired on the condition that the number of the random numbers stored is less than four.

  In the special operation process (S104), a random number such as the jackpot random number acquired in the starting opening sensor detection process (S103) is determined, and a special symbol display (variation display and stop display) for notifying the determination result is performed. . When this special symbol is displayed, a variation start command including information on the variation pattern is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104 at the start of the variation display of the special symbol, and the variation stop command is used for gaming when the stop indication of the special symbol is started. Set in the output buffer of the RAM 104. The fluctuation pattern is determined using the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 28 based on the determination of various random numbers such as the jackpot random number. Then, as a result of the determination of the jackpot random number, when the jackpot is won, the jackpot game (special game) is performed in which the big winning opening 14 is opened in accordance with a predetermined opening pattern (opening time or opening number). Here, as shown in FIG. 28, if the variation pattern is determined, the variation time for which the variation display of the special symbol is executed is also determined. The SP reach (super reach) shown in the remarks column in FIG. 28 is a reach having a longer post-reach variation time than a normal reach. The distribution ratio of the table is set such that the SP reach has a higher expectation of winning (the degree of expectation for a jackpot) than the normal reach. In the present embodiment, super reach is evolved through normal reach.

  In the normal operation process (S105), the normal symbol random number acquired in the start opening sensor detection process is determined using a predetermined determination table. And the display (a change display and a stop display) of the normal symbol for alerting | reporting the determination result is performed. As a result of the determination of the normal symbol random number, when the normal winning symbol has been elected, the auxiliary game to open the electric chew 12D according to the predetermined opening pattern (opening time and opening number, see FIG. 29) according to the gaming state Do.

  Next, the gaming control microcomputer 101 performs output processing (S106). In the output process (S106), the command or the like set in each process described above is output to the payout control board 170, the effect control board 120, and the like.

  Further, in parallel with the above-described processing in the main control unit, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs the processing shown in FIGS. The operation of the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described below.

  [Effect Control Side Timer Interrupt Processing] The effect control microcomputer 121 repeats effect control side timer interrupt processing as shown in FIG. 31 every predetermined short time. In the effect control side timer interrupt process, first, a received command analysis process (S1001) is performed.

  Further, following to the received command analysis process (S1001), a command transmission process (S1002) is performed. In the command transmission process (S1002), various commands set in the reception command analysis process are transmitted to the image control board 140. When the command transmission process is executed, the image control board 140 that has received the command executes various effects (such as a fluctuation effect, a jackpot effect, a customer waiting effect, etc.) using the image display device 50. For example, the image control board 140 that has received the change presentation start command executes the change presentation of the content specified in the change presentation start command.

  Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs audio processing (S1003). In the sound processing (S1003), sound data (data for controlling the output of the sound or the like from the speaker 52) is generated so that the sound or the like is output from the speaker 52 at a timing that matches the effect of the effect pattern selected in the received command analysis process. Or output to the voice control board 161. Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs lamp processing (S1004) and movable body processing (S1005).

  In the lamp processing (S1004), when there is a light emission effect that causes the panel lamp 54 and the frame lamp 53 to emit light, the fluctuation effect start command or the like set in the effect RAM 124 executes the light emission effect. That is, the board lamp 54 and the frame lamp 53 are caused to emit light at a predetermined timing and in a predetermined light emission mode. Also, in the movable body process (S1005), when there is a drive effect for operating the first movable device 55 or the second movable device 56 in the fluctuation effect start command etc. set in the effect RAM 124, the drive effect is executed Do. That is, the motors and the like of the first movable device 55 and the second movable device 56 are operated at predetermined timings and predetermined driving modes.

  [Receiving Command Analysis Processing] As shown in FIG. 32, in the receiving command analysis processing (S1001), the effect control microcomputer 121 first determines whether or not the change start command has been received from the game control microcomputer 101 (S1101) ). If it has not been received, the process proceeds to step S1104, but if it has been received, the variation effect pattern selection process (S1102) is performed.

  In the fluctuation effect pattern selection process (S1102), while acquiring the random number for fluctuation effect pattern determination, one table is selected based on the analysis result of the fluctuation start command and the like, and the acquired fluctuation effect using the selected table By determining the pattern determination random number, the variation presentation pattern is selected. The data indicating the selected variation effect pattern is stored in a predetermined storage area of the effect RAM 124. With the selection of the variation production pattern, the presence or absence and the timing of the execution of the attraction for causing the panel lamp 54 to emit light, the presence or absence of the execution of the presentation for causing the frame lamp 53 to emit light and the timing thereof The contents of the effect are determined including the details such as the presence or absence of the execution of the effect for operating each motor etc.

  Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets a change effect start command for starting the change effect according to the change effect pattern selected in step S1102 in a predetermined storage area of the effect RAM 124 (S1103). Then, the process proceeds to step S1104.

  In step S1104, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether an opening command has been received from the game control microcomputer 101 or not. If not received, the process proceeds to step S1107, but if received, the jackpot effect pattern selection process (S1105) is performed.

  In the jackpot effect pattern selection process (S1105), based on the analysis result of the opening command, the effect pattern (jackpot effect pattern) of the jackpot effect to be executed during the jackpot game is selected. The data indicating the jackpot effect pattern selected here is stored in a predetermined storage area of the effect RAM 124. By the selection of this jackpot effect pattern, the presence or absence and timing of execution of the luminous effect of the board lamp 54 and the frame lamp 53 during the jackpot game, the effect of operating each motor of the first movable device 55 and the second movable device 56, etc. The contents of the presentation are determined including the details such as the presence or absence of the execution and the timing thereof.

  Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets a jackpot effect start command for starting the jackpot effect in the jackpot effect pattern selected in step S1105 in a predetermined storage area of the effect RAM 124 (S1106). Then, the process proceeds to step S1107.

  In step S1107, a process based on another received command is performed as another process (S1107). This completes the reception command analysis process.

6. Modified Example A modified example will be described below. In the description of the modification, the same components as those of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  For example, in the above embodiment, only the big winning opening 14 is provided as a big winning area that can be opened by a big hit game, but a plurality of big winning areas may be provided.

  Moreover, said embodiment demonstrated the example which detects four positions as a position of a movable part by the combination of the detection signal of two sensors provided in the movable part. However, depending on the number of sensors provided in the movable part and the number of types of detection signals of each sensor, it is also possible to detect more positions of the movable part. For example, when three sensors capable of outputting two types of detection signals are provided in the movable part, it is possible to detect eight positions as the positions of the movable part by combining the detection signals of the three sensors. Become. That is, as the position of the movable portion, it is possible to detect the number of positions obtained by multiplying the number of detection modes (signals) of the sensors by the number of sensors provided on the movable portion. Further, the number of movable parts provided with such a sensor is not limited to one, and may be plural.

  Moreover, in said embodiment, the detection signal of a sensor is turned ON / OFF by providing a groove in the to-be-detected part which is a detection target of two sensors provided in the movable part. However, not limited to the groove, a protrusion or a hole may be provided. Further, for example, the mechanism for suppressing the slack of the cable may be provided not on the movable portion side but in the configuration of the side fixed relative to the movable portion.

  Further, in the above embodiment, as the movable portion, a character that is a fictitious person or a character decorated with a soccer ball pattern is used. However, the decoration of the movable part is of course not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in place of the character decoration, the movable part to which the character decoration is applied may be decorated with a real person, a robot or an animal. Further, in the above embodiment, the same character is decorated on the front and back sides for the movable part to which the character is decorated, but may be decoration on characters that are different on the front and back sides.

  In the above embodiment, the time saving state is always set with the end of the big hit game, but it may be determined whether the time saving state is set according to the type of the big hit symbol. In this case, the special figure 2 lottery may be able to win with a high probability the jackpot symbol for which the time saving state is set along with the end after the jackpot game.

  Also, in the above embodiment etc., the big hit game with the opening and closing of the big winning opening 14 is executed by winning the big hit in the big hit determination, but the so-called “small hit game as a game with the opening and closing of the big winning opening 14 "" May be provided. The small hit game is executed by winning a "small hit" different from the big hit and the loss in the big hit determination. And, it is desirable that the maximum opening time of the big winning opening 14 in the small hitting game is 1.8 seconds or less. Also, with the end of the small hitting game, the gaming state does not change. That is, during and after execution of the small hitting game, the gaming state before the execution continues, and the execution of the small hitting game does not affect the gaming state. That is, when a small hit is won, only a small hit game with the opening and closing of the big winning opening 14 is executed.

  In the above embodiment, the high probability number is set to 160 times, and the time reduction number is set to 160 times and 100 times, but the special symbol for the gaming state more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state is The prescribed number of times of the variable display can be appropriately set without limitation. For example, the number of times of high probability may be set to 100, and the number of time reduction may be set to 100 regardless of the presence or absence of V passage. Also, the time saving number may be set to zero. In addition, based on other elements that are not the number of times of execution of the variable display of special symbols such as the elapsed time after the big hit game and the number of shots of the game ball, set the duration for the game state more advantageous to the player than the normal game state May be

  In the above embodiment, the game control board 100 performs basic control related to the progress of the game, and basic control related to the progress of the effect according to the progress of the game (control of the game) the effect control board 120 Although the control of the game and the control of the effect are performed on different substrates as in the case of FIG. In this case, the image control substrate 140 may be included in the one substrate or may be provided separately from the one substrate.

  In addition, the gaming machine of the present invention can be applied to other ball and ball gaming machines such as arrange ball machines and ball ball machines and so forth, or torso type gaming machines (so-called "slot machines").
