  When the opening / closing frame 50 is rotated from the open position to the closed position and the front surface of the gaming machine frame 3 is closed with the window unit 51A attached to the back surface of the opening / closing frame 50, as shown in FIG. A board 261 is disposed in front of the board surface board 200 of the game board 2 in parallel with the board surface board 200 with a predetermined gap, and a game ball can flow between the board surface board 200 and the rear transmission plate 261. A game area 10 is formed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the rear transmission plate 261 is an entire area of the game area 10 surrounded by the guide rail 2b on the game board surface 200A of the board board 200 when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front (player side). The hole 270 is disposed at a position corresponding to the opening 2 c formed in the board surface plate 200.

  In the present embodiment, the game area 10 is an area where a game ball can flow down, that is, an area excluding the opening 2c in an area surrounded by the guide rail 2b on the game board surface 200A of the board board 200, and an opening 2c. Corresponding areas, that is, areas in which the image display devices 5A, 5X, and 5Y and various movable bodies described later are provided so as to be visible from the player (areas indicated by hatching in FIG. 8). In addition, the center decoration frame 52 is provided in the opening 2c, so that the game ball is restricted from flowing into the opening 2c.

  In the present embodiment, the hole 270 is different in shape and size from the opening 2c formed in the panel board 200, and is provided at a position corresponding to the opening 2c. The invention is not limited to this, and may be formed substantially in the same shape as the hole 270, or a part thereof may be located outside the opening 2c.

  Therefore, the gaming area 10 configured in this way is viewed through the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261 constituting the window portion 51 from the player side in front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (transparent). (Refer to the window 51 shown by the mesh area in FIG. 4A). As shown in FIG. 9, the rear transmission plate 261 and the game board surface 200A are installed in a standing state so as to be parallel to each other, whereas the front transmission plate 251 is gradually inclined rearward from the upper side to the lower side. Thus, since it is arranged in a forward tilting posture inclined with respect to the rear transmission plate 261, the lower separation dimension L2 is shorter than the separation dimension L1 than the upper separation dimension L1 with respect to the rear transmission plate 261. ing.

  The first transmission body 250 including the front transmission plate 251 as the plate-shaped portion and the first cylindrical body 252 and the second cylindrical body 253 as the cylindrical portions is the rear transmission that constitutes the second transmission body 260. A cylindrical portion formed of a first cylindrical body 252 and a second cylindrical body 253 is formed in a convex shape that protrudes forward with respect to the plate 261 and the window unit 51 </ b> A is attached to the opening / closing frame 50. The opening of the opening / closing frame 50 is provided so as to be inserted from the back side and protrude forward.

  Therefore, the rear transmission plate 261 that forms the game area 10 together with the game board surface 200 </ b> A is accommodated within the plate thickness dimension in the front-rear direction of the opening / closing frame 50, while the cylindrical portion is provided so as to protrude forward with respect to the front surface of the opening / closing frame 50. Thus, the front transmission plate 251 can be disposed as far as possible from the rear transmission plate 261 as much as possible without increasing the longitudinal dimension of the opening / closing frame 50. Thereby, a wide space S can be formed between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261.

  Moreover, the upper wall part of the 1st cylindrical body 252 and the 2nd cylindrical body 253 is formed so that it may incline below toward the front, and external light from the front upper direction of the pachinko game machine 1 is made into the game area | region 10. Since the upper part of the game area 10 is hidden by the upper wall part because it is difficult to enter, the player's eye position is located below the upper wall part, so that it can be seen by looking up.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example, a magnetic sensor is erroneously operated by pressing a magnet against the front transmission plate 251 to illegally generate a prize, or a game ball flowing down the game area 10 is generated by a magnetic force. There is a possibility that an illegal act such as illegally guiding may be performed, but without increasing the thickness of the rear transmission plate 261 by increasing the separation dimensions L1 and L2 between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261. Since the front transmission plate 251 can be moved away from the game area 10 as much as possible, the influence of the magnetic force of the magnet can be attenuated, so that illegal acts by the magnet can be suitably suppressed. In addition, in a gaming machine equipped with a magnet sensor that detects unauthorized magnetism, the above-mentioned fraudulent behavior can be reduced by increasing the distance between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261 in a range that cannot be detected by the magnet sensor. While being able to suppress suitably, the number of arrangement | positioning of a magnet sensor can be reduced.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the guide member 710 </ b> R is made of a synthetic resin material and has a plate-like portion 710 </ b> A having a vertically long rectangular shape when viewed from the right side, and a peripheral wall portion erected on the right side surface periphery of the plate-like portion 710 </ b> A It is formed in a box shape opened to the right side by 710B. A concave groove 711 extending in the vertical direction is formed on the left side surface (inner side surface) of the plate-like portion 710A, and a guide hole 712 penetrating in the horizontal direction is formed in the concave groove 711. . The concave groove 711 and the guide hole 712 include a linear first guide portion 712A extending in the vertical direction, a second guide portion 712B that curves forward from the upper end of the first guide portion 712A, and the second guide portion 712B. A third guide portion 712C that is linearly extended from the upper end and is shorter than the first guide portion 712A.

  Cylindrical guided shafts 713A and 713B projecting up and down on the right side surface of the second movable body 400 are inserted into the guide hole 712 thus configured from the left side. A retaining member 714 is attached to the tip of the guided shafts 713A and 713B protruding in the direction by screws. Since the guided shafts 713A and 713B are slightly smaller than the left and right dimensions of the guide hole 712, the guided shafts 713A and 713B can slide in the guide hole 712. Thus, the second movable body 400 is guided in the vertical direction by the guide hole 712 via the guided shafts 713A and 713B.

  Specifically, when the guided shafts 713A and 713B are guided in the vertical direction by the first guide portion 712A, the second movable body 400 performs the first operation of moving in the vertical direction while standing, and the second guide When at least one of the guided shafts 713A and 713B is guided obliquely in the front-rear direction by the portion 712B, the second operation of moving in the oblique front-rear direction with the upper portion tilted forward is performed, and the third guide portion 712C When only the upper guided shaft 713A is guided, it is located at the second effect position.

  On the right side surface of the guide member 710R, a reinforcing sheet metal 720R for reinforcing the guide member 710R is screwed into the screw hole 715 formed in the right side surface (outer side surface) of the plate-like portion 710A. It is installed by. Note that the upper and lower sides of the reinforcing sheet metal 720R are bent outward and are not easily twisted.

  Further, a hole 721A wider than the guide hole 712 is formed in a portion corresponding to the vicinity of the upper end from the lower end of the first guide portion 712A of the guide hole 712 in the reinforcing sheet metal 720R, and the first portion from the upper portion of the first guide portion 712A. The hole 721B is formed separately from the hole 721A in the portion corresponding to the lower portion of the two guide portions 712B. The hole 721A is formed so that the guide hole 712, the retaining member 714, and the detection piece 714A formed on the retaining member 714 can be visually recognized, and the hole 721B is an intermediate position detection capable of detecting the guide hole 712 and the detection piece 714A. Since the sensor 716 is formed so as to be visible, the detection status can be confirmed without removing the reinforcing sheet metal 720R. And the reinforcement sheet metal 720R is reduced in weight by forming these hole parts 721A and 721B.

  In addition, the holes 721A and 721B occupy the portion corresponding to the first guide portion 712A of the guide hole 712, that is, the portion that guides the first operation in which the second movable body 400 moves in the up-down direction while standing. However, the ratio of the portion corresponding to the second guide portion 712B and the third guide portion 712C of the guide hole 712, that is, the portion that guides the second operation in which the second movable body 400 moves obliquely in the front-rear direction in the tilted posture. (Including the case where the holes 721A and 721B are formed only in the portion guiding the first operation and the holes 721A and 721B are not formed in the portion guiding the second operation). Yes. That is, the strength of the position corresponding to the first operation of the lower movable body 450 of the reinforcing sheet metal 720R is higher (strongly reinforced) than the strength of the position corresponding to the second operation.

  Side light emitting display units 730L and 730R capable of light emission display by LEDs (light emitting diodes) as light emitting means are attached to the front portions of the left and right guide members 710L and 710R. The side light emitting display units 730L and 730R extend in the vertical direction along the side portions 702L and 702R, and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are in the third standby position. The movable bodies 500L and 500R are formed so as to be able to cover the front.

  Next, the lower drive mechanism 410 for driving the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 15, the lower drive mechanism 410 includes lower movable body motors 411 </ b> L and 411 </ b> R composed of stepping motors provided on the left and right sides of the lower side portion 702 </ b> A of the lower base 702, and the lower side portion 702 </ b> A. Centered on pinion gears 412L, 412R fixed to the drive shaft (not shown) of the lower movable body motors 411L, 411R protruding to the front side, and a rotating shaft (not shown) facing the front-rear direction on the left and right sides of the front side of the lower side 702A A front view substantially V provided to be rotatable about a rotation shaft 414 that faces the front-rear direction on the front left and right sides of the lower side portion 702A and the driven gears 413L, 413R that are rotatably provided and mesh with the pinion gears 412L, 412R. The first link members 415L and 415R having a letter shape and the ends of one arm of the first link members 415L and 415R The second link members 418L and 418R each having a long hole 417 into which the connecting shaft 416 provided can be inserted, and the front and right sides of the second movable body 400 can be turned around a turning shaft that faces in the front-rear direction. And third link members 420L and 420R having a substantially V shape in front view.

  On the left and right sides of the second movable body 400, arc-shaped long holes 421 and 422 centering on the rotation shafts of the third link members 420L and 420R are formed, and the second link member is formed in the long hole 421. A connecting shaft 419 for connecting 418L, 418R and the third link members 420L, 420R is inserted. In addition, a connecting shaft 427 that rotatably connects the third movable bodies 500L and 500R and one end of the arms of the third link members 420L and 420R is inserted into the long hole 422.

  The connecting shaft 416 protruding from the tip of the arm of the first link member 415L, 415R is a long hole 423L facing the left-right direction formed in the second movable body 400 through the long hole 417 of the second link member 418L, 418R. , 423R (see FIG. 12).

  Also, a long hole through which the connecting shaft 425 protruding from the peripheral edge on the front surface of the driven gears 413L and 413R can be inserted into an arm different from the arm on which the connecting shaft 416 of the first link members 415L and 415R is formed. 426 is formed, and the first link members 415L and 415R and the driven gears 413L and 413R are connected by the connecting shaft 425.

  Further, between the left and right lower movable body motors 411L and 411R on the back surface of the lower base 702, the lower base 702 is reinforced by attaching a reinforcing sheet metal 722 facing the left and right direction by a plurality of screws N2. Damage to the lower base 702 is suppressed.

  Next, operation modes of the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the second movable body 400 is located at the second standby position, the light emitting display unit 401 is located at the first rotation position, and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are 3 In the state where the lower movable body 450 is located in the lower position, that is, in the state where the lower movable body 450 is located in the lower position, the second movable body 400 has the guided shafts 713A and 713B on the left and right sides of the first guide hole 712. It is located at the lower part of the guide portion 712A and is held in a standing posture at a position corresponding to the guide members 710L and 710R in a side view. Further, the light emitting display unit 401 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are held in a standing posture on the front side of the second movable body 400, and the light emitting display motor 402, which is an electrical component having a predetermined weight, is provided in the second movable body 400. The center of gravity G of the lower movable body 450 composed of the second movable body 400, the light emitting display unit 401, and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R is approximately the horizontal direction of the second movable body 400. It is set in the vicinity of the light emitting display motor 402 that is arranged slightly to the left of the center position and on the upper front side in the front-rear direction. In particular, as shown in FIG. 15B, the gravity center position G is set to a front position in front of the guide holes 712 in the guide members 710L and 710R in a side view.

  As shown in FIG. 16, when the pinion gears 412L and 412R are rotated together in the first direction by the left and right lower movable body motors 411L and 411R, the driven gears 413L and 413R are rotated to be connected via the connecting shaft 425. The first link members 415 </ b> L and 415 </ b> R are rotated upward about the rotation shaft 414. Thereby, the 2nd movable body 400 connected via connecting shaft 416 moves upwards. Further, the connecting shaft 416 slides inward in the long holes 423L and 423R of the second movable body 400 and the long holes 417 of the second link members 418L and 418R until the arm is substantially horizontal, When the arm starts to rotate upward from the horizontal, the second link members 418L and 418R and the third link members 420L and 420R operate because they only slide outward in the long holes 423L and 423R and the long hole 417. Therefore, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are maintained at the third standby position.

  While the second movable body 400 moves from the second standby position to the intermediate position where the detection piece 714A is detected by the intermediate position detection sensor 716, that is, the guided shafts 713A and 713B are guided by the first guide portion 712A. In the first movement range, the second movable body 400, the light emitting display unit 401, and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R perform a first operation of moving upward while maintaining the standing posture.

  Since the center of gravity G only moves upward along the guide hole 712 while moving upward while maintaining the standing posture, the load of the lower movable body 450 is applied to the guide members 710L and 710R. There is almost nothing.

  In the present embodiment, the detection piece 714A is detected by the intermediate position detection sensor 716 when the lower movable body 450 is positioned at the intermediate position. 450 can be stopped at an intermediate position.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 17, when the pinion gears 412L and 412R are rotated together in the first direction by the left and right lower movable body motors 411L and 411R, the lower movable body 450 moves further upward. Then, after the connecting shaft 416 contacts the outer end of the long hole 417 of the second link member 418L, 418R and moves further outward, the third link member 420L, 420R rotates about the rotation shaft. By moving, the connecting shaft 427 moves in the elongated hole 422 from the upper end toward the lower end, and thereby the third movable bodies 500L and 500R connected to the third link members 420L and 420R via the connecting shaft 427 are moved. The inner wall 501 contacts the outer wall 403 of the second movable body 400 by rotating about the rotation shaft 502 to the third effect position.

  The light emitting display unit 401 is moved from the first rotation position to the second rotation position by the light emitting display motor 402 according to the timing at which the third movable bodies 500L and 500R rotate from the third standby position to the third effect position. Rotate.

  As shown in FIG. 17B, when the guided shaft 713A above the second movable body 400 enters the second guide portion 712B, the second movable body 400, the light emitting display unit 401, and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R. While moving upward, it tilts forward so that the upper part tilts forward. When the upper and lower guided shafts 713A and 713B are guided by the second guide portion 712B, the second movable body 400, the light emitting display unit 401, and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R move upward while maintaining the forward tilted posture. The second operation is performed.

  Then, when the upper guided shaft 713A enters the third guide portion 712C and reaches the upper end portion of the guide hole 712, the upper portion of the lower movable body 450 faces slightly upward, and the forward tilt angle becomes small. The second movable body 400 is located at the second effect position, the light emitting display unit 401 is located at the second rotation position, and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are located at the third effect position.

  Further, the center of gravity G of the lower movable body 450 moves in the obliquely upward direction along with the second operation in which the lower movable body 450 is guided by the second guide portion 712B and rises in the forward tilted posture, whereby the guide member 710L. , 710R moves forward from the front side. Therefore, when the second movable body 400 moves diagonally forward and upward or reaches the second effect position, the load of the lower movable body 450 is applied to the second guide portion 712B via the guided shafts 713A and 713B. Takes on the front edge. That is, the center of gravity G of the lower movable body 450 located above the guide members 710L and 710R is biased to the front side of the guide members 710L and 710R, so that a load is applied to the guide members 710L and 710R that support the lower movable body 450.

  As described above, when the lower movable body 450 moves in the vertical direction (first operation), the gravity center position G with respect to the guide members 710L and 710R does not change in the front-rear direction, but moves in the oblique front-back direction (second operation). Since the center of gravity position G with respect to the guide members 710L and 710R changes in the front-rear direction when the guide members 710L and 710R are operated, the lower movable body 450 is loaded on the guide members 710L and 710R by being reinforced by the reinforcing sheet metals 720L and 720R. Therefore, it is possible to suitably suppress the occurrence of twisting and breakage of the upper portions of the guide members 710L and 710R.

  Further, the second guides of the guide members 710L and 710R are formed by forming most of the holes 721A and 721B for reducing the weight of the reinforcing metal plates 720L and 720R in a portion that guides the second operation of the second movable body 400. It is possible to reduce the weight while suitably reinforcing the portion corresponding to the portion 712B.

A plurality of second regions 801B are arranged side by side in the left-right direction. Each top-type LED 812 is provided so as to be able to irradiate light in a vertical direction or a substantially vertical direction with respect to the front surface 801F which is a mounting surface, that is, forward.

  In the third region 801C on the front surface 801F, a top-type LED 813 that is a full-color light emitting diode that has light emitting elements that emit light of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) and can emit light in seven colors. A plurality of third regions 801C are arranged in parallel in the left-right direction at the upper, middle, and lower stages. Each top-type LED 813 is provided so as to be able to irradiate light in a vertical direction or a substantially vertical direction with respect to the front surface 801F which is a mounting surface, that is, forward.

  The back cover 802 is made of a black non-transparent synthetic resin material having a light reflection efficiency lower than that of white, and is formed in substantially the same shape as the LED substrate 801.

  The first inner lens 803 is made of a red transparent synthetic resin material, and has a plate-like portion 803A that has a shape of the numeral “7” and a frame that stands on the front periphery of the plate-like portion 803A. It is formed in the box shape which a front surface opens with the surrounding peripheral wall part 803B. As shown in FIG. 20B, the plate-like portion 803A has a similar shape in which the first region 801A is reduced in front view, and therefore, when arranged in the first region 801A on the front surface 801F of the LED substrate 801. The peripheral wall portion 803 </ b> B is opposed to the light emitting portion of the angle type LED 811, surrounded by a plurality of angle type LEDs 811 arranged in a frame shape. Further, on the outer surface and the front end surface of the peripheral wall portion 803B, a light diffusing portion 803C made of a concavo-convex portion having a substantially triangular wave shape with a constant cross-sectional view is formed in the longitudinal direction, whereby the peripheral wall portion 803B Light from the angle type LED 811 that is incident from the outer side surface (light incident portion) is diffused and guided, and light emitted from the front end surface of the peripheral wall portion 803B is diffused.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the light incident on the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 803B from the angle type LED 811 is guided into the plate-like portion 803A arranged along the front surface 801F of the LED substrate 801, and then the plate-like shape. The light is reflected forward by the reflecting portion 803D formed on the back surface of the portion 803A and emitted forward from the entire front surface of the plate-like portion 803A. Since the front surface of the plate-like portion 803A is a flat surface, the plate-like portion 803A emits light like a light guide plate.

  The reflecting portion 803D is formed in a concavo-convex state (rough surface) in which the cross-sectional view in the traveling direction of the light guided through the plate-like portion 803A has a substantially triangular wave shape with a constant pitch. Specifically, it is configured by a molding method in which an uneven portion is provided on the back surface of the plate-like portion 803A by a stamper or injection.

It is formed by. Note that the light diffusing unit 804B is provided so that one of the circular ripples corresponds to one of the top LEDs 812 provided in the second region 801B.

  As described above, the second inner lens 804 has light diffusing portions 804A and 804B having different concavo-convex shapes on the front and rear surfaces, that is, different projection patterns, so that the second inner lens 804 is emitted forward from each top-type LED 812. The light can be suitably diffused and emitted forward.

  The second outer lens 808 is made of a colorless and transparent transparent synthetic resin material, is formed in a plate shape having a horizontally long rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and covers the second inner lens 804 as shown in FIG. It is formed in a possible size.

  As shown in FIG. 18, a black non-transmissive layer 808 </ b> C is formed on the front surface of the second outer lens 808 around a transmissive layer in the shape of a predetermined character (for example, “AAA”). Thus, a second light emitting display 852 capable of recognizing a predetermined character is formed by the transmission layer. Note that the transmittance of the non-transmissive layer 808C is lower than that of the transmissive layer other than the non-transmissive layer 808C (including the transmittance of 0%).

The light can be suitably diffused and emitted forward.

  The third outer lens 809 is formed of a colorless and transparent transparent synthetic resin material, is formed in a plate shape having a horizontally long rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and covers the third inner lens 805 as shown in FIG. It is formed in a possible size.

  As shown in FIG. 18, a black non-transmissive layer 809 </ b> C is formed on the front surface of the third outer lens 809 around a transmissive layer in the shape of a predetermined character (for example, “XXX” of the alphabet). Thus, a third light emitting display portion 853 capable of recognizing a predetermined character is formed by the transmissive layer. Note that the transmittance of the non-transmissive layer 809C is lower than that of the transmissive layers other than the non-transmissive layer 809C (including the transmittance of 0%).

Furthermore, you may comprise the 3rd light emission display part 853 not only with a character but with a number, a symbol, a design, a character, a mark, etc.

  As shown in FIG. 19, on the back surface of the third outer lens 809, there is formed a light diffusion portion 809B capable of diffusing light by being formed into a diamond cut shape by injection molding or the like. The light diffusion portion 809B has a regular pattern of a plurality of diamond-shaped projections (for example, a plurality of rows of projections and depressions formed by a plurality of projections formed in the left-right direction at predetermined intervals) To be formed in a pattern).

  In this way, the third outer lens 809 is formed with the light diffusion portion 809B only on the back surface, so that the light emitted forward from each top-type LED 813 through the third inner lens 805 is further diffused to light forward. Can be emitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the frame member 806 includes an LED substrate 801, a back cover 802, a first inner lens 803, a second inner lens 804, a third inner lens 805, a first outer lens 807, and a second outer lens. The peripheral edges of the lens 808 and the third outer lens 809 are formed so as to be able to be covered from the side, and the first outer lens 807, the second outer lens 808, and the third outer lens are disposed at a substantially central position in the front-rear direction on the inner peripheral surface. A projection 806A for positioning the lens 809 is formed in a frame shape.

  Then, the first outer lens 807 is disposed at a position corresponding to the first area 801A on the front surface of the frame member 806, the second outer lens 808 is disposed at a position corresponding to the second area 801B, and corresponds to the third area 801C. The third outer lens 809 is disposed at a position where the first inner lens 803 is disposed at a position corresponding to the first area 801A on the back surface of the frame member 806, and the second inner lens 809 is disposed at a position corresponding to the second area 801B. The lens 804 is disposed, the third inner lens 805 is disposed at a position corresponding to the third region 801C, and the LED substrate 801 and the back cover 802 are disposed on the back side thereof.

Further, by inserting a screw N12 from the back side of the back cover 802, through the LED board 801 and the second inner lens 804, and screwing into the screw hole on the back surface of the second outer lens 808, the second outer lens. 808, the second inner lens 804, the LED substrate 801, and the back cover 802 are integrated via a frame member 806. Further, the third outer lens is inserted by inserting the screw N13 from the back side of the back cover 802, inserting the LED substrate 801 and the third inner lens 805, and screwing into the screw hole on the back surface of the third outer lens 809. 809, the third inner lens 805, the LED substrate 801, and the back cover 802 are integrated via a frame member 806. Thereby, the light emitting display unit 401 is formed.

(Light emission mode of first light emission display portion 851)
Next, the light emission mode of the first light emission display unit 851 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, when each angle LED 811 emits light, the light from each angle LED 811 is incident on the outer surface (light incident portion) of the peripheral wall portion 803 </ b> B of the first inner lens 803. The light incident on the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 803B is guided into the plate-like portion 803A arranged along the front surface 801F of the LED substrate 801, and then is a reflection portion 803D formed on the back surface of the plate-like portion 803A. Is reflected forward and emitted forward from the entire front surface of the plate-like portion 803A. Since the front surface of the plate-like portion 803A is a flat surface, the plate-like portion 803A emits light like a light guide plate.

  The light emitted from the front surface of the first inner lens 803 is incident on the back surface of the first outer lens 807, and the incident light is diffused by the light diffusing portion 807D formed on the back surface, inside the first outer lens 807. After being guided forward so as to spread in the surface direction, it is emitted forward from the first light emitting display portion 851 excluding the non-transmissive layer 807C, and the first light emitting display portion 851 emits light.

  Specifically, the first inner lens 803 is formed in substantially the same shape as the first light emitting display portion 851 including a transmission portion imitating the numeral “7” in a front view, and is formed on the periphery of the first region 801A of the LED substrate 801. A plurality of angle-type LEDs 811 arranged in a frame shape along the inside are disposed so as to cover a part of the front surface 801F which is a mounting surface. Light from the angle-type LED 811 that can irradiate light in a direction parallel to or substantially parallel to the front surface 801F is incident on the inside from the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 803B. Since the light diffusing portion 803C made of is formed in the longitudinal direction of the peripheral wall portion 803B, the light from the angle-type LED 811 having high directivity is diffused and spreads widely to the plate-like portion 803A. The entire region of 803A can be surface-emitted with substantially uniform intensity, and light incident on the peripheral wall 803B corresponding to each angle type LED 811 can be prevented from being lit by light incident on the peripheral wall 803B.

  In addition, the angle type LED 811 emits light in a direction parallel to or substantially parallel to the front surface 801F, that is, in the left-right direction, and does not irradiate light forward toward the player side. The display portion 851 does not emit light intensely (spots), and surface light can be emitted substantially uniformly throughout the entire area.

  In front of the plurality of angle-type LEDs 811 arranged around the first inner lens 803, a black non-transmissive layer 807C provided on the first outer lens 807 and a protruding portion 806A of the frame member 806 are arranged. Thus, even when the angle type LED 811 emits light, it is difficult to visually recognize the irradiation part of the angle type LED 811 from the front. Therefore, it can prevent that the position corresponding to each angle type LED 811 in the periphery of the 1st light emission display part 851 appears to light up.

  In addition, the plurality of angle-type LEDs 811 are arranged along the peripheral wall portion 803B of the first inner lens 803 in the shape of the number “7”, so that the CPU 120 for effect control is, for example, FIG. As shown in (C), it is possible to perform a light emission effect based on a light emission pattern in which a plurality of angle type LEDs 811 are sequentially turned on from the upper side to the lower side of the first light emitting display unit 851. By performing a light emission effect based on a simple light emission pattern, the effect can be enhanced.

  Further, the light from the angle type LED 811 is not directly irradiated onto the first outer lens 807, but the light surface-emitted through the first inner lens 803 is further diffused by the light diffusion portion 807D of the first outer lens 807. Since the light is emitted forward from the first light emitting display portion 851, the flashing of the first light emitting display portion 851 can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 27A, the light diffusion portion 807D formed on the back surface of the first outer lens 807 has a plurality of diamond-shaped convex portions arranged in a regular pattern in the left-right and up-down directions. Thus, when the angle type LED 811 emits light, even when the first light emitting display portion 851 is viewed from an arbitrary front angle, the plurality of convex portions appear to emit light in a regular pattern.

  Further, among the contour lines of the light diffusion portion 807D, the plurality of convex portions arranged along the contour line R1 extending in the left-right direction are cut out in a regular pattern, and the contour line R2 extending in the oblique direction has a longitudinal Since the convex portions near the contour lines R1 and R2 of the first light emitting display portion 851 appear to emit light in a regular pattern by arranging the convex portions at predetermined intervals in the direction, the first light emitting display portion Since the contour of 851 can be clearly seen without being blurred or distorted, the number “7” can be easily recognized. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 21, the first light-emitting display portion 851 is raised forward with respect to the surrounding non-transmissive layer 807C, so that the numbers can be seen three-dimensionally.

  As shown in FIG. 26, the angle-type LED 811 can emit white light, and the first inner lens 803 and the first outer lens 807 are made of a red transparent synthetic resin material. The display portion 851 can be displayed in red. By doing so, it is not necessary to use an expensive full-color LED capable of emitting light in a plurality of colors, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

(Light emission mode of the second light emitting display unit 852 and the third light emitting display unit)
Next, light emission modes of the second light emitting display unit 852 and the third light emitting display unit 853 will be described. Since the internal structures of the second light emitting display unit 852 and the third light emitting display unit 853 are substantially the same, the light emitting mode of the third light emitting display unit 853 will be described below, and the light emitting mode of the second light emitting display unit 852 will be described. The description about is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 22, when each top LED 813 emits light, the light from each top LED 813 is incident on the back surface of the third inner lens 805, and the incident light is transmitted by the light diffusion portion 805B formed on the back surface. After being diffused and guided forward so as to spread in the surface direction inside the third inner lens 805, it is further diffused by the light diffusion portion 805A formed on the front surface and emitted forward from the entire front surface.

  The light emitted from the front surface of the third inner lens 805 is incident on the back surface of the third outer lens 809, and the incident light is diffused by the light diffusion portion 809 </ b> B formed on the back surface, and inside the third outer lens 809. After being guided forward so as to spread in the surface direction, the light is emitted forward from the third light emitting display portion 853 excluding the non-transmissive layer 809C, and the third light emitting display portion 853 emits light.

  Specifically, each top-type LED 813 is provided so as to be able to irradiate light in a direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to the front surface 801F, that is, forward, but the light diffusion portion 805A is provided on the front and rear surfaces of the third inner lens 805. , 805B are formed, and the light diffusing portion 809B is formed on the back surface of the third outer lens 809, so that when the light is emitted from the front surface of the third outer lens 809, the light spreads to the surroundings. Therefore, the flashing of the third light emitting display portion 853 can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 26, the light diffusing portion 805A of the third inner lens 805 and the light diffusing portion 809B of the third outer lens 809 have the same diamond-cut shape, but the convex portion of the light diffusing portion 809B is The convex portion is larger than the light diffusion portion 805A, and the light diffusion portion 805A of the third inner lens 805 has a diamond cut shape, whereas the light diffusion portion 809B has a ripple cut shape. . That is, since the light diffusing mode is different depending on the arrangement pattern of the convex portions of the light diffusion portions 805A, 805B, and 809B, the light is diffused more complicatedly. Light can be suitably suppressed.

(Side light emission display unit)
Next, details of the right side light emitting display unit 730R among the side light emitting display units 730L and 730R will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 23A is an exploded perspective view showing a state of the side light emitting display unit viewed from an oblique front, and FIG. 23B is an exploded perspective view showing a state of the side light emitting display unit viewed from an oblique rear. is there. 24A is a front view showing a state in which an inner lens is disposed on the front surface of the LED substrate, and FIG. 24B is a rear view showing a state in which the lower part of the light emitting display unit is viewed with the back cover removed. . 25 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, the side light emission display unit 730 </ b> R includes an LED substrate 741, a back cover 742 that can cover the back surface of the LED substrate 741, and an inner lens 743 disposed on the front surface side of the LED substrate 741. And an outer lens 744 disposed on the front side of the inner lens 743.

  The LED board 741 has a front surface 741F and a back surface 741B, which are electronic component mounting surfaces, colored in white, and red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light on the upper portion of the front surface 741F. A plurality of angle-type LEDs 745, which are light emitting elements that emit light and emit full-color light emitting diodes in seven colors, are arranged in a substantially straight line so as to incline obliquely upward to the right. Each angle type LED 745 is provided so as to be able to irradiate light in a parallel direction or a substantially parallel direction with respect to the front surface 741F which is a mounting surface toward the lower right side. In addition, at the lower part of the front surface 741F, there is an angle type LED 746 which is a full-color light emitting diode that has light emitting elements that emit red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light and can emit light in seven colors. A plurality of lines are arranged in a substantially straight line so as to incline upward to the right. Each angle-type LED 746 is provided so as to be able to irradiate light in a parallel direction or a substantially parallel direction with respect to the front surface 741F which is a mounting surface, obliquely upward to the left. In other words, the upper angle type LEDs 745 and the lower angle type LEDs 746 are arranged so as to be spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction, and are arranged so that light can be emitted from one to the other.

  On the other hand, on the upper portion of the back surface 741B, there is an angle type LED 747 that is a full-color light emitting diode that has light emitting elements that emit light of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) and can emit light in seven colors. In the vicinity of the upper side of the concavo-convex shape formed so as to be inclined obliquely upward to the right, a plurality are provided along the upper side. Each angle type LED 747 is provided so as to be able to irradiate light in a parallel direction or a substantially parallel direction with respect to the front surface 741F which is a mounting surface toward the outside from the upper side.

  The back cover 742 is made of a white non-transparent synthetic resin material whose front and back surfaces have high light reflection efficiency. The back wall portion 742A has substantially the same shape as the LED substrate 741, and the left and right sides excluding the upper side on the front surface of the back wall portion 742A. It is formed in a box shape whose front surface and upper surface are opened by side wall portions 742B provided upright on the side and lower sides.

  As shown in FIG. 25, a notch 748 that opens forward and upward is formed along the upper side at the upper side of the front surface of the back cover 742, that is, at a position corresponding to each angle LED 747. The plate thickness in the vicinity of the upper side portion of the back cover 742 is thinner than the plate thickness of other portions. Thereby, the separation dimension L5 from the back surface 741B of the LED board 741 in the notch 748 is larger than the separation dimension L6 from the back surface 741B of the LED board 741 other than the notch 748 (L5> L6).

  The inner lens 743 is made of a colorless and transparent transparent synthetic resin material, and has a plate-like portion 743A that has substantially the same shape as the LED substrate 741, and a frame-shaped peripheral wall portion 743B that stands on the front periphery of the plate-like portion 743A. Are formed in a box shape with an open front. The plate-like portion 743A has a notch 750 that exposes two angle-type LEDs 745 forward from the upper left side, an opening 751 that exposes the third and subsequent angle-type LEDs 745 forward from the upper left side, and a lower portion The angle-type LED 746 is exposed to the front, and an opening 752 is formed.

  The light incident portion 751A (see the enlarged view in FIG. 24A) of light emitted from the angle type LEDs 745 and 746 is convex in the light irradiation direction at the opening periphery of the notch 750 and the openings 751 and 752. Therefore, the light emitted from the angle-type LEDs 745 and 746 spreads laterally with respect to the irradiation direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 24B and 25, the back surface of the plate-like portion 743A is reflected forward by a reflection portion 743D for reflecting light incident from the angle type LEDs 745 and 746 forward. Then, the light is emitted forward from the entire front surface of the plate-like portion 743A substantially evenly. Since the front surface of the plate-like portion 743A is a flat surface, the plate-like portion 743A emits light like a light guide plate.

  The reflection portion 743D is formed in a concavo-convex state (rough surface) in which the cross-sectional view in the traveling direction of the light guided through the plate-like portion 743A forms a substantially triangular wave shape with a constant pitch. Specifically, it is configured by a molding method in which an uneven portion is formed on the back surface of the plate-like portion 743A by a stamper or injection. For example, a silk printing method in which reflective dots are printed with white ink on an acrylic plate, an acrylic plate, You may comprise a reflection part by the sticking dot system which affixed the reflecting plate with the dot-shaped adhesive material, a groove processing system, etc.

  The outer lens 744 is vertically extended with a colorless and transparent transparent synthetic resin material, and a light emitting display portion is formed on the upper and lower sides. In the present embodiment, the LED substrate 741, the back cover 742, and the inner lens 743 described above are members constituting the lower fourth light emitting display portion 854, and various members and LEDs constituting the upper light emitting display portion. The details such as are omitted.

  The lower part of the outer lens 744 is formed in a box shape whose rear surface is opened by a plate-shaped portion 744A that is substantially the same shape as the LED substrate 741 and a frame-shaped peripheral wall portion 744B that is erected on the periphery of the back surface of the plate-shaped portion 744A. Has been.

  As shown in FIG. 23A, a black non-transmissive layer 744 </ b> C is formed on the front surface of the outer lens 744 around a transmissive layer shaped like a predetermined number (for example, “2400” or the like). A fourth light emitting display portion 854 capable of recognizing a predetermined character is formed by the transmission layer. Note that the transmittance of the non-transmissive layer 744C is lower than that of the transmissive layers other than the non-transmissive layer 744C (including the transmittance of 0%).

  In this embodiment, one fourth light-emitting display portion 854 is configured by one transmission layer in which the numbers “2400” are connected to each other. However, each number of “2400” is a plurality of independent numbers. The fourth light emitting display portion 854 may be configured by the transmissive layer. Further, for convenience of explanation, an example in which the numeral “2400” is applied has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, not only numerals but also letters, symbols, symbols, characters, marks, etc. The fourth light emitting display unit 854 may be configured.

  As shown in FIG. 23A, on the back surface of the outer lens 744, a light diffusion portion 744D capable of diffusing light by being formed into a random cut shape by injection molding or the like is formed. The light diffusion portion 744D is formed by arranging a plurality of convex portions having different sizes and shapes in an irregular pattern (random pattern). The light diffusion portion 744D is continuously formed from a portion corresponding to the fourth light emitting display portion 854, which is a transmissive layer, to a portion corresponding to the surrounding non-transmissive layer 744C (see FIG. 27).

  As described above, the outer lens 744 is formed with the light diffusion portion 744D only on the back surface, so that the light emitted forward from the angle type LEDs 745 and 746 through the inner lens 743 is further diffused and emitted forward. It can be made to.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 24B, a light diffusing portion 744E composed of an uneven portion having a substantially triangular wave shape with a constant cross-sectional view is formed in the longitudinal direction at a portion corresponding to at least the upper side of the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 744B. Thus, light from the angle type LED 746 incident from the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 744B is diffused and guided, and the front end surface of the peripheral wall portion 744B emits light substantially uniformly. Yes.

(Light emission mode of the fourth light emission display unit)
Next, the light emission aspect of the 4th light emission display part 854 is demonstrated. FIG. 26 is an explanatory diagram illustrating members, electronic components, and the like that constitute each light-emitting display unit. 27A is a rear view showing the positional relationship between the outer lens of the first light emitting display unit and the LED, and FIG. 27B is a rear view showing the positional relationship between the outer lens of the fourth light emitting display unit and the LED. is there. FIG. 28 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display mode of the first light emitting display unit. FIGS. 29A and 29B are diagrams showing examples of display modes of the respective light emitting display units during normal operation, (B) during a notice effect, and (C) during a big hit.

  As shown in FIG. 25, when each angle type LED 745, 746 provided on the front surface of the LED substrate 741 emits light, light from each angle type LED 745, 746 is notched 750 and opening 751 formed in the inner lens 743. Is incident on the inside of the inner lens 743 from the light incident portion 751A. The light incident on the light incident portion 751A is guided into the inner lens 743 arranged along the front surface 741F of the LED substrate 741, and then reflected forward by the reflecting portion 743D formed on the back surface. The light is emitted forward from the entire front surface of the inner lens 743. Since the front surface of the inner lens 743 is a flat surface, the inner lens 743 emits light like a light guide plate.

  The light emitted from the front surface of the inner lens 743 is incident on the back surface of the outer lens 744, and the incident light is diffused by a light diffusion portion 744D formed on the back surface so as to spread in the surface direction inside the outer lens 744. After being guided forward, the fourth light emitting display unit 854 emits light by emitting light forward from the fourth light emitting display unit 854 excluding the non-transmissive layer 744C.

  In addition, light is emitted from the angle type LEDs 745 and 746 in a parallel direction or a substantially parallel direction to the front surface 741F, that is, in the up and down direction, and no light is emitted toward the front which is the player side, and Since the light diffusion portion 744D is formed on the back surface of the outer lens 744, it is possible to suppress the portion corresponding to the angle type LEDs 745 and 746 from being lit in the fourth light emitting display portion 854.

  As shown in FIG. 27B, the light diffusing portion 744D formed on the back surface of the outer lens 744 has a irregular pattern (random pattern) with a plurality of convex portions having different sizes and shapes, and is a transmission layer. It is continuously formed from a portion corresponding to the four light emitting display portion 854 to a portion corresponding to the surrounding non-transmissive layer 744C. Therefore, when the angle-type LEDs 745 and 746 emit light, even when the fourth light-emitting display portion 854 is viewed from an arbitrary front angle, the plurality of convex portions appear to emit light in an irregular pattern.

  In addition, the plurality of convex portions arranged along the contour line R4 of the light diffusing portion 744D are cut out in a substantially irregular pattern, so that the convex portion in the vicinity of the contour line R4 of the fourth light emitting display portion 854 is formed. Since the light appears to be emitted in an irregular pattern, the outline of the fourth light emitting display portion 854 appears to be blurred or distorted.

  On the other hand, when each angle type LED 747 provided on the back surface of the LED substrate 741 emits light, the light from each angle type LED 747 enters the inner side surface (light incident portion) of the peripheral wall portion 744B of the outer lens 744. The light incident on the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 744B is guided upward while being diffused in the longitudinal direction of the peripheral wall portion 744B by the light diffusion portion 744E formed on the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 744B. The light is emitted upward from the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 744B. Thereby, the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 744B emits light over the longitudinal direction.

  Specifically, since the peripheral wall portion 744B of the outer lens 744 emits light by light from the angle type LED 747 provided on the back surface of the LED substrate 741, the angle type LED 747 is caused to emit light to cause the peripheral wall portion 744B of the outer lens 744 to emit light. Sometimes, it can be avoided that the portion corresponding to the angle type LED 747 in the fourth light-emitting display portion 854 on the front surface is seen as being lit in a flashing manner.

  Further, the angle type LED 747 can irradiate light in a parallel direction or a substantially parallel direction with respect to the back surface 741B of the LED substrate 741 in order to irradiate the peripheral wall portion 744B disposed in the vicinity of the edge of the LED substrate 741. And the back cover 742 provided in parallel or substantially parallel to the back surface 741B of the LED substrate 741 is made of a non-permeable synthetic resin material, so that light from the angle type LED 747 is emitted to the back side. In addition, the front surface of the back cover 742 located in the vicinity of the angle type LED 747 forms a reflective portion colored in white with high reflection efficiency, so that the light from the angle type LED 747 is a peripheral wall portion. Since it is suppressed that the back cover 742 absorbs and attenuates before reaching 744B, it can be avoided that the peripheral wall portion 744B becomes dark.

  In addition, a notch 748 is formed on the upper side portion of the front surface of the back cover 742, and the plate thickness in the vicinity of the upper side portion of the back cover 742 is thinner than the plate thickness of other portions, so that it is in the vicinity of the peripheral wall portion 744B. Since the opening between the back surface 741B of the LED substrate 741 and the front surface of the back cover 742 is widened, it is possible to irradiate the inner surface of the peripheral wall portion 744B in a wide range in the front-rear direction.

  Further, the separation dimension L11 (see FIG. 21) from the angle type LED 811 constituting the first light emitting display portion 851 to the light diffusion portion 807D formed on the back surface of the first outer lens 807 constitutes the fourth light emitting display portion 854. The distance L12 (see FIG. 25) from the angle type LED 745 to the light diffusion part 744D formed on the back surface of the outer lens 744 is longer (L11> L12). That is, in the light diffusing portion 744D in which the convex portions are arranged in a regular pattern, the angle type LED 745 in the light emitting display portion depends on the position where the convex portions are visually recognized than the light diffusing portion 807D in which the convex portions are arranged in an irregular pattern. Since the portion corresponding to 1 is easily spotted, it is possible to suitably prevent spotlighting by making the separation dimension from the angle type LED 745 to the separation dimension L1 from the light diffusion portion 744D long.

  As shown in FIG. 26, the first light-emitting display unit 851 to the fourth light-emitting display unit 854 are light-emitting units formed on the back surface of the outer lens or the inner lens, for example, the mode of the light-emitting display unit (for example, letters and numbers). The LED light irradiation direction and the color of the back cover are different, so that even when the LED emits light with the same brightness and the same color, the light emission display mode is different, and the light diffusing part is suitable for spotlighting. It is suppressed.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 120 is arranged at the center position between the left and right fourth light emitting display portions 854 among the first light emitting display portions 851 to the fourth light emitting display portions 854, and has importance such as a model title and a subtitle. About the 1st light emission display part 851-the 3rd light emission display part 853 which can light-display high information, it is always light-emitting-displayed also at the time of a normal state, ie, a game standby state and a variable display state, At the time of execution of the big hit effect, the light emission display is performed in a predetermined manner according to various effects.

  In the present embodiment, the first light emitting display unit 851 to the third light emitting display unit 853 are exemplified to emit light at the above timing, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the light emission is performed at other times than the above timing. You may let them. In addition, the LED light emission periods at various light emission display timings such as the normal time, the notice effect, and the big hit are made different (for example, the light emission period becomes longer like the normal time <the notice effect <the big hit). It may be. Also, depending on the transition of the gaming state, such as during normal times, notice effects, and big hits, the LED emission modes (luminance, emission color, lighting / flashing, etc.) at various emission display timings are made different (for example, during normal times) It is also possible to use weak light emission, strong light emission at the time of announcement effect or big hit, etc.).

  On the other hand, with respect to the fourth light emitting display unit 854, in the case where there are a plurality of types of jackpot types with different numbers of rounds, a notification is made that a jackpot (for example, 16R jackpot) that can acquire about 2400 game balls has occurred. Light-emitting display only for big hit effects.

  In the present embodiment, the fourth light emitting display unit 854 is exemplified to emit light at the above timing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is in a specific situation other than the above timing (for example, normal It is also possible to emit light only at the time or when a notice of loss is given in the notice effect.

  Therefore, a predetermined unit time (for example, 3 hours, etc.) in a period in which power is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 or a period in which a game is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (variable display period, jackpot period) The light emission display period of the first light emission display part 851 to the third light emission display part 853 is longer than the light emission display period of the fourth light emission display part 854.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 29A, the effect control CPU 120 causes the first light emitting display portion 851 to the third light emitting display portion 853 to emit light even in a game standby state or the like. In addition, as shown in FIG. 29B, for example, when a movable body effect involving the operation of the lower movable body 450 is executed as a notice effect, the lower movable body 450 is moved up and down between a lower position and an intermediate position. Even in the case of moving, the first light emitting display portion 851 to the third light emitting display portion 853 are caused to emit light in a predetermined display mode. In addition, as shown in FIG. 29C, for example, when executing a big hit effect for notifying that a big hit (for example, 16R big hit, etc.) capable of acquiring about 2400 game balls has occurred, While raising 450 to an intermediate position, the 4th light emission display part 854 is light-emitting-displayed with the 1st light emission display part 851-the 3rd light emission display part 853. FIG.

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 29C, when the fourth light emitting display portion 854 is displayed together with the first light emitting display portion 851 to the third light emitting display portion 853, the first light emitting display portion 851 to the third light emitting display. The portion 853 has a regular pattern of convex portions constituting the light diffusion portion of each outer lens, whereas the fourth light emitting display portion 854 has a convex portion constituting the light diffusion portion of the outer lens. Since the arrangement of the patterns is irregular, the characters “7”, “AAA”, and “XXX” of the first light emitting display portion 851 to the third light emitting display portion 853 are clearly visible. The number “3400”, which is the number of the fourth light-emitting display portion 854, has a slightly different outline compared to the first light-emitting display portion 851 to the third light-emitting display portion 853, and therefore the light-emitting display mode is different.

(Attachment structure of the center decoration frame to the game board)
Next, a structure for attaching the center decorative frame 52 to the game board will be described with reference to FIGS. 30A is a front view showing a state in which the center decorative frame is attached to the board surface plate, and FIG. 30B is a perspective view showing a state in which the center decorative frame is attached to the board surface plate. 31A is a perspective view showing a state in which the upper right side of the center decorative frame and the board surface plate are viewed from the front side, and FIG. 31B is a view of the upper right side of the center decorative frame and the panel surface plate from the back side. FIG. 4C is a perspective view showing a state in which the notch portion of the board plate is viewed from the front side. 32A is a cross-sectional view taken along line FF in FIG. 30A, FIG. 32B is a cross-sectional view taken along line GG, FIG. 32C is a cross-sectional view taken along line H-H, and FIG. is there. FIGS. 33A and 33B are perspective views showing a state in which the lower left portion of the center decorative frame and the panel board are viewed from the front side. 34A is a sectional view taken along line JJ in FIG. 30A, and FIG. 34B is a sectional view taken along line KK.

  As shown in FIGS. 30A and 30B, the center decorative frame 52 is formed in a frame shape from a synthetic resin material, and is fitted from the front to the opening 2c formed in the board surface plate 200 constituting the game board 2. The screws N21 attached from the front side to the attachment holes 210 formed in a plurality of places are screwed into the screw holes formed in the board surface plate 200, thereby being attached to the board surface plate 200. In FIG. 30, members constituting the stage provided below the center decorative frame 52 are omitted.

  The center decorative frame 52 is placed on the periphery of the opening 2c in the game board surface 200A from the lower part of the standing wall part 52A, and the standing wall part 52A that is erected so as to be substantially orthogonal to the game board surface 200A of the game board 2. And a plate-like attachment portion 52B having a frame and a frame-like portion 52C (see FIG. 32) accommodated in the opening 2c. The standing wall 52A is provided so as to be able to contact the game ball P launched into the game area 10, and prevents the game ball P from entering the opening 2c.

  On the right side of the center decorative frame 52, there is provided a guide path 220 that guides the game ball P launched into the game area 10 by so-called right hit and guided to the upper right side along the periphery of the opening 2c. ing. The guide path 220 includes an inner wall portion 221 that is erected so as to be substantially orthogonal to the game board surface 200A, an outer wall portion 222 that is erected on the outer side of the inner wall portion 221 so as to be substantially orthogonal to the game board surface 200A, and an inner wall The portion 221 and the bottom wall portion 223 connecting the lower ends of the outer wall portions 222 are formed in a substantially forward U shape in a sectional view.

  As shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, above the upper ends of the inner wall portion 221 and the outer wall portion 222, a guiding portion 225 for guiding the game ball P to the guiding path 220 is directed upward from the bottom wall portion 223. Are connected. On the back side of the guide portion 225, there is a raised portion 226 (see FIG. 31 (B)) formed in substantially the same shape as the notch 230 having a substantially trapezoidal shape in front view formed at the upper right side of the opening 2c of the board plate 200. An inclined surface portion 227 that is inclined rearward from the lower side to the upper side (upstream side) is formed on the upper front surface of the guide portion 225. Therefore, the plate | board thickness L31 of the induction | guidance | derivation part 225 is made larger than the plate | board thickness L32 of the bottom wall part 223 by the protruding part 226 (L31> L32; refer FIG.32 (B) (C)). That is, the raised portion 226 is raised on the back side by a predetermined dimension L33 with respect to the back surface of the bottom wall portion 223.

  On the other hand, the notch portion 230 formed in the board surface plate 200 is formed at a position corresponding to the guide portion 225 in a state where the center decorative frame 52 is attached to the board surface plate 200. Further, a specific portion 231 (step portion) located on the inner side (back side) of the board surface plate 200 than the game board surface 200A is formed in a portion corresponding to the notch portion 230 in the game board surface 200A. Since the front surface of the specific part 231 is positioned on the back side by a predetermined dimension L33 with respect to the game board surface 200A, the board thickness L34 corresponding to the specific part 231 in the board board 200 is shorter than the board thickness L35 of the board board 200. (L34 <L35, see FIG. 32B).

  Therefore, in a state where the center decorative frame 52 is attached to the board surface plate 200, the bottom wall portion 223 of the guide path 220 is placed around the opening 2c in the game board surface 200A, but is thicker than the bottom wall portion 223. When the guide part 225 is disposed at a position corresponding to the notch part 230, the outer peripheral edge of the raised part 226 is placed on the specifying part 231. That is, the board surface plate 200 is provided with the notch portion 230 and the specific portion 231 that is recessed with respect to the game board surface 200A, so that a part of the guide portion 225 having a thickness is larger than the game board surface 200A. The center decorative frame 52 can be attached to the panel board 200 so as to be located on the inner side.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 32 (B) and (C), since the upper side portion (inclined lower portion) of the inclined surface portion 227 is arranged at substantially the same position as the gaming board surface 200A, there is no step, so that the gaming board surface 200A It is possible to smoothly guide the game ball P flowing down along the front surface of the bottom wall portion 223 located on the front side of the game board surface 200A.

  In addition, the guide unit 225 guides the game ball P flowing down along the game board surface 200A to the inclined surface part 227 when the game ball P is guided to the bottom wall part 223 located on the front side of the game board surface 200A. Although P contacts, it is possible to effectively suppress breakage due to contact by forming it to be thicker than the bottom wall portion 223, while the notch portion 230 and the plate are closer to the board surface 200 side of the plate thickness than the guide portion 225. By forming the specific portion 231 having a small thickness and accommodating the board thickness protruding from the bottom wall portion 223 on the board surface plate 200 side, a large step is generated between the game board surface 200A and the bottom wall portion 223. Since this can be avoided, the game ball P can be smoothly guided to the guide path 220 while increasing the strength of the guide portion 225.

  Moreover, since the attachment hole 210 of the screw N21 for attaching the center decorative frame 52 to the panel board 200 is not formed in the guide portion 225, the strength of the guide portion 225 is reduced by forming the attachment hole 210. Thus, it is prevented from being easily damaged by contact with the game ball P. On the other hand, the mounting hole 210 is formed in the bottom wall part 223 on the downstream side of the guide part 225 (see FIG. 32D), so that the guide path 220 can be suitably fixed to the panel board 200. .

  Further, the guide portion 225 having a plate thickness is extended over a predetermined section (predetermined section for guiding the game ball P) in the up-down direction on the upstream side of the guide path 220. Compared with the case where only the corresponding part is formed thick, it is easier to ensure the strength, and thus the breakage of the guiding part 225 can be suitably prevented.

  As shown in FIGS. 33 and 34, at the lower left part of the center decorative frame 52, a game ball P launched into the game area 10 by so-called left-hand strike and guided to the left is directed to the lower side of the image display device 5 to the right. A guiding portion 235 for guiding toward the normal winning ball apparatus 6A obliquely below is provided. A raised portion 236 is formed on the back surface side of the guide portion 235, and an inclined surface portion 237 that is inclined backward from the right to the left is formed on the left side of the front surface of the guide portion 235. Therefore, the plate | board thickness L41 of the induction | guidance | derivation part 235 is made larger than the plate | board thickness L42 of the attaching part 52B by the protruding part 236 (L41> L42; refer FIG. 34 (A) (B)). That is, the raised portion 236 is raised on the back side by a predetermined dimension L43 with respect to the back surface of the attachment portion 52B.

  On the other hand, in a state where the center decorative frame 52 is attached to the board surface plate 200, a specific part 241 (step part) located on the inner side (back side) of the board surface plate 200 than the game board surface 200A is located at a position corresponding to the guide portion 235. Is formed. Since the front surface of the specific portion 241 is located on the back side by a predetermined dimension L43 with respect to the game board surface 200A, the plate thickness L44 corresponding to the specific portion 241 in the board surface plate 200 is shorter than the plate thickness L35 of the board surface plate 200. (L44 <L35; see FIG. 34A).

  Therefore, in a state where the center decorative frame 52 is attached to the panel board 200, the guide portion 235 is placed on the specifying portion 241. That is, the board surface plate 200 is provided with the specific portion 241 that is recessed with respect to the game board surface 200A, so that a part of the guide portion 235 having a plate thickness is located on the inner side of the game board surface 200A. The center decorative frame 52 can be attached to the panel board 200.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 34 (A), since the left side portion (inclined lower portion) of the inclined surface portion 237 is arranged at substantially the same position as the gaming board surface 200A, no step is generated, and therefore it flows down along the gaming board surface 200A. The incoming game ball P can be smoothly guided to the front surface of the mounting portion 52B located on the front side of the game board surface 200A.

  In addition, the guiding portion 235 guides the game ball P flowing down along the game board surface 200A to the inclined surface portion 237 when guiding the game ball P to the mounting portion 52B located on the front side of the game board surface 200A. Although the contact portion is formed to be thicker than the attachment portion 52B, the damage due to the contact can be effectively suppressed, while the specific portion 241 having a plate thickness thinner than the guide portion 235 on the board surface plate 200 side. Since the board thickness is accommodated on the board surface plate 200 side by projecting more than the mounting portion 52B, it is possible to avoid a large step between the game board surface 200A and the mounting portion 52B. The game ball P can be guided smoothly while increasing the strength of 235.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the angle type LED 747 as the light emitting means provided on the LED substrate 741 and the diffusion means for diffusing the light from the angle type LED 747 A peripheral wall portion 744B of an outer lens 744 having a light diffusing portion 744E as the back surface of the LED substrate 741 so that the angle type LED 747 can irradiate the peripheral wall portion 744B disposed in the vicinity of the edge of the LED substrate 741. The front surface of the back cover 742 that can irradiate light in a direction parallel to or substantially parallel to 741B and is located in the vicinity of the angle type LED 747 constitutes a reflective portion colored in white with high reflection efficiency.

  By doing in this way, the peripheral wall part 744B of the outer lens 744 can be suitably light-emitted by the light from the angle type LED 747 provided on the back side of the LED substrate 741. Specifically, by using the angle type LED 747 as the light emitting means, the back cover 742 can be disposed as close as possible to the LED substrate 741, and the front and rear dimensions of the side light emitting display units 730L and 730R can be made as thin as possible. The front surface of the back cover 742 adjacent to the angle type LED 747 constitutes a white colored reflective portion with high reflection efficiency, so that light from the angle type LED 747 is not absorbed by the front surface of the back cover 742. Since the peripheral wall portion 744B is irradiated with strong light, the peripheral wall portion 744B can emit light strongly.

  Further, since the back surface of the LED substrate 741 is also white, light from the angle type LED 747 is reflected by the back surface of the LED substrate 741 and the front surface of the back cover 742, so that the light from the angle type LED 747 is attenuated. Without being guided to the peripheral wall portion 744B.

  In addition, the back cover 742 has a reflection part that reflects light from the angle type LED 747 and guides it to the peripheral wall part 744B, so that even if the angle type LED 747 is arranged away from the peripheral wall part 744B, Therefore, the portion corresponding to the angle-type LED 747 in the peripheral wall portion 744B can be suitably suppressed from being lit.

  In addition, a reflection part that reflects light from the angle type LED 747 is provided by using the back cover 742, so that a member for configuring the reflection part that reflects light diffused on the back side is provided separately. Since there is no need, the number of parts can be reduced.

  In particular, since the light emitting display unit 401 is made of a transparent synthetic resin material and is disposed in the vicinity of the rear transmission plate 261 provided so as to be able to contact the game ball P, the LED substrate 801 is caused by static electricity charged on the rear transmission plate 261. Electricity is easy to fly. Therefore, although the back surface of the LED substrate 801 is covered with the back cover 742, the back cover 742 can be used to provide a reflection part that reflects light from the angle-type LED 747, so that the number of components can be reduced. it can.

  Further, the angle type LED 747 is provided so as to be able to irradiate light toward the light diffusion portion 744E formed on the peripheral wall portion 744B arranged around the LED substrate 741, so that the peripheral wall portion 744B suitably emits light. be able to.

  A notch 748 that is notched in the direction of light irradiation from the angle type LED 747 is formed at the edge on the side of the peripheral wall 744B of the back cover 742 provided so as to cover the mounting surface (back surface) of the LED substrate 741. As a result, the light from the angle type LED 747 can be diffused in the front-rear direction. In particular, even when the back cover 742 is arranged as close as possible to the LED substrate 741 substrate, the inner side surface of the peripheral wall portion 744B serving as the light incident portion can be secured widely, so that the peripheral wall portion 744B emits light over a wide range. Is possible.

  In addition, the front surface of the back cover 802 provided so as to cover the back surface of the LED substrate 801 on which the angle type LED 811 and the top type LEDs 812 and 813 are provided in the light emitting display unit 401 is more light reflective than the white back cover 742. Has a low black color.

  As described above, the back cover 802 that covers the back side where the LEDs are not provided is black with high light absorption, and thus light is prevented from leaking to the back side. In addition, since it is not necessary to form a white layer having a high light reflectance, the manufacturing cost can be suppressed by using the black back cover 802.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the peripheral wall portion 744B of the outer lens 744 having the light diffusion portion 744E is applied as the diffusion means for diffusing the light from the angle type LED 747 provided on the LED substrate 741. The present invention is not limited to this, and the light emitting means can irradiate light in a parallel direction or a substantially parallel direction with respect to the mounting surface of the substrate, and a reflecting portion with good light reflection efficiency is provided in the vicinity of the light emitting means. If provided, the substrate, the light emitting means, and the diffusing means are not limited to the LED substrate 741, the angle type LED 747, and the outer lens 744, but various substrates provided in other light emitting display units and effect devices, It can also be applied to light emitting means and diffusing means.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the reflection portion is provided on the front surface of the back cover 742 provided in the vicinity of the angle type LED 747. However, the present invention is not limited to this and is separate from the back cover 742. You may comprise in the reflecting plate etc. which are provided in.

  Moreover, as long as the reflection part is provided in the vicinity of the light emitting means, it does not necessarily have to be provided on the back side. In addition, as an example of the reflection portion having good reflection efficiency, the form in which the front surface of the white back cover 742 having a lower reflectance than the black back cover 802 is applied is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited thereto. If the light reflection efficiency is high, for example, it may be composed of a synthetic resin material, a metal plate, a mirror member, or the like that hardly absorbs (transmits) light, and at least the light emitting means side of the member As long as it is formed of a reflective layer such as a plating layer formed on the surface or the like, the entire member may not be configured by the reflective portion.

  In the present embodiment, the light from the angle type LED 747 is illustrated as being incident on the light diffusion portion 744E formed on the peripheral wall portion 744B of the outer lens 744. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the light from the angle type LED 747 may be incident on a lens member constituting the light emitting display unit, or may be incident on a light guide member such as an inner lens. Good.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as an embodiment of the present invention, the first light emitting means (for example, the angle type LED 811, the top type LEDs 812, 813, etc.) and the second light emitting means (for example, the angle type LED 745). And first diffusion means for diffusing light from the first light emitting means (for example, a first outer lens 807 having a light diffusion portion 807D, a second outer lens 808 having a light diffusion portion 808B, and a light diffusion portion 809B). A third outer lens 809) and second diffusing means for diffusing light from the second light emitting means (for example, an outer lens 744 having a light diffusing portion 744D), and the first light emitting means and the first light emitting means. The length of the period of light emission per unit time is different from the two light emitting means, and the first diffusion means can diffuse light in a regular pattern. The second diffusion means can diffuse light by irregular pattern.

  By doing in this way, the 1st light emission display part 851-the 3rd light emission display part 853, and the 4th light emission display part 854 can each be made to light-emit suitably. Specifically, the first light-emitting display unit 851 to the third light-emitting display unit 853 and the fourth light-emitting display unit 854, which have different lengths of light emission per unit time, do not change the light emission mode by the light emitting means. By making the diffusion mode of the light from the light emitting means different, the appearance of each light emitting display portion can be made different.

  In addition, the CPU 120 for effect control has a light emitting display effect in a single color (for example, white) by the first light emitting unit (for example, the angle type LED 811) and a plurality of colors (for example, the angle type LED 745). 7 colors) can be performed.

  By doing in this way, each light emission display part can be made to light-emit suitably by changing not only the light diffusion aspect but light emission color. In particular, when the angle-type LED 745 emits light with seven colors of light, the second diffusing unit diffuses the light in an irregular pattern, so that a plurality of emission colors can be easily mixed, so that the gradation effect can be enhanced.

  In addition, the first light emitting display unit 854 shaped like a number, and the first light emitting display unit 851 to the third light emitting display unit 853 shaped like a character larger than the fourth light emitting display unit 854, the first light emitting Means (for example, angle type LED 811, top type LED 812, 813, etc.) can emit light from the first light emitting display portion 851 to the third light emitting display portion 853.

  By doing in this way, the 1st light emission display part 851-the 3rd light emission display part 853 can be made to light-emit suitably. Specifically, the first light-emitting display portion 851 to the third light-emitting display portion 853 that imitate characters such as “7”, “AAA”, “XXX”, etc., have a contour of characters because light is diffused in a regular pattern. Is clearly visible, but the fourth light-emitting display portion 854, which is a figure such as the number “2400”, tends to appear blurred because the light is diffused in an irregular pattern.

  In this way, by varying the light diffusion mode (the arrangement pattern of the convex portions in the lens), the light emitting display portion that wants to show the outline clearly even with letters and numbers, and the light emitting display that wants to show the outline appear blurred The first light emitting display portion 851 to the third light emitting display portion 853 can be seen more conspicuously than the fourth light emitting display portion 854, for example. In addition, information displayed by light emission by the fourth light emitting display unit 854 seems to be out of focus due to a blurred outline than information displayed by the first light emitting display unit 851 to the third light emitting display unit 853. Therefore, it is possible to provide a light-emitting display with a stereoscopic effect.

  Specifically, among the plurality of light emitting display units, the first information about the first light emitting display unit 851 to the third light emitting display unit 853 capable of emitting and displaying the first information having a high degree of importance such as a title and a subtitle of the model. In the fourth light emitting display unit 854 and the like capable of emitting and displaying second information that is less important than the first information, the second light emitting display unit 854 and the like emit light in a regular pattern so that the player can clearly see The light is diffused in an irregular pattern so that the information appears to blur. Thereby, about the 1st information with high importance among the several information to display to a player, it can be made to light-emit and display more emphasizing than the 2nd information with lower importance than 1st information.

  Both the first inner lens 803 and the inner lens 743 can diffuse light by a regular pattern (for example, the reflecting portions 803D and 743D). By doing in this way, since it becomes possible to make each light from each LED substantially uniform, it can control that the part corresponding to each LED is made to light up.

  In addition, the light emitting display unit 401 having the angle type LED 811 can be moved up and down, and the side light emitting display units 730L and 730R having the angle type LEDs 745 and 746 are fixed so as not to move, thereby improving the effect. it can. More specifically, light is diffused in a regular pattern in the movable first light emitting display unit 851 to the third light emitting display unit 853, and light is diffused in an irregular pattern in the non-movable fourth light emitting display unit 854. Therefore, the first light-emitting display portion 851 to the third light-emitting display portion 853 can be clearly seen even when moving.

  Further, the separation dimension L11 (see FIG. 21) from the angle type LED 811 constituting the first light emitting display portion 851 to the light diffusion portion 807D formed on the back surface of the first outer lens 807 constitutes the fourth light emitting display portion 854. The distance L12 (see FIG. 25) from the angle type LED 745 to the light diffusion part 744D formed on the back surface of the outer lens 744 is longer (L11> L12).

  By doing in this way, the part corresponding to the angle type LED 811 in the 1st light emission display part 851 can prevent a spotlight.

  In the present embodiment, the first outer lens 807 having the light diffusion portion 807D as the first diffusion means for diffusing the light from the angle type LED 811 and the top type LEDs 812 and 813 provided on the LED substrate 801, the light diffusion Applying the second outer lens 808 having the portion 808B and the third outer lens 809 having the light diffusing portion 809B as light diffusing portions as second diffusing means for diffusing the light from the angle type LED 747 provided on the LED substrate 741 Although the embodiment in which the outer lens 744 having 744D is applied is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the light emitting means includes the first light emitting means and the second light emitting means having different lengths of light emitting periods per unit time. As long as it is a light emitting means, the substrate, the light emitting means, and the diffusing means are not limited to the above, but other light emitting display units Various substrates provided to the effect device, the light emitting means can also be applied to the diffusion unit.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a predetermined unit time in a period in which power is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 or a period in which a game is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (variable display period, jackpot period). Although the light emission display period of the first light emission display unit 851 to the third light emission display unit 853 per unit time (for example, 3 hours or the like) is longer than the light emission display period of the fourth light emission display unit 854, the present invention The first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit are not limited to this, and the first light emitting display unit 851 to the third light emitting display unit may be used as long as the length of the light emitting period per unit time is different. The light emission display period 853 may be shorter than the light emission display period of the fourth light emission display unit 854.

  Further, the length of the period of light emission per unit time may be a time other than the above 3 hours. Further, not only the total number of times that the light emitting means emit light during one business day in the game hall, but also the length of the period during which the light emitting means emits light during a predetermined period of the business period in the game hall, for example. May be the total number. Or it is good also considering the length of the time which light-emits continuously in a predetermined light emission timing.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an example is shown in which a diamond cut shape and a ripple cut shape are applied as the regular pattern of the first diffusion means, and a random cut shape is applied as the irregular pattern of the second diffusion means. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a cut pattern other than the cuts described above may be applied.

  The fourth light emitting display portion 854 can be said to be formed by providing a plurality of random cut patterns in which a plurality of convex portions having different sizes and shapes are arranged at random. It suffices that the ratio of the minimum unit of the convex array pattern to the entire area is smaller than the ratio of the minimum unit of the convex array pattern to the entire light emitting display area in the irregular pattern. In other words, regular patterns include, for example, polygons such as triangles, quadrilaterals, hexagons, and convex parts that are simple figures such as circles, ellipses, and straight lines. It includes a lens cut pattern made of a geometric pattern created by continuously developing a combination array while performing operations such as change, enlargement / reduction, and division.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first light emitting display portion 851 to the third light emitting display portion 853 larger than the fourth light emitting display portion 854 have a regular light diffusion portion 807D that diffuses light from the angle type LED 811. Although the form comprised by the pattern was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, The 1st light emission display part 851-3rd which displays information with higher importance than the 4th light emission display part 854 is shown. About the light emission display part 853, you may make it diffuse light in a regular pattern.

  In the present embodiment, the lower movable body is configured such that the lens of the light emitting display unit 401 provided in the operable lower movable body 450 is diamond cut, and the lenses of the non-operating side light emitting display units 730L and 730R are randomly cut. Even if 450 operates, the first light emitting display portion 851 to the third light emitting display portion 853 can be clearly seen, so that there is no concern about the flashing.

  In the present embodiment, a regular diamond cut pattern is used for the lenses of the first light emitting display portion 851 to the third light emitting display portion 853 that can emit and display the first information with high importance such as the model title and subtitle. Although an example in which an irregular random cut pattern is applied to the lens of the fourth light emitting display unit 854 capable of emitting and displaying second information such as a jackpot type that is less important than the first information is illustrated. The invention is not limited to this, and game information to be clearly notified to the player (for example, information indicating a model title, a logo, a game state (probability change state, time reduction state, setting change state, error state, etc.)) While the regular diamond-cut pattern is applied to the lens of the light-emitting display unit that displays, the light-emitting display unit displays information related to other than game information such as effects It may be applied to irregular random cut pattern for the lens.

  Also, by applying an irregular random cut pattern to the lens of the light emitting display that emits light when executing the initial operation control that is executed when the power is turned on, the light can be softened. The burden on the eyes of the game shop clerk who performs power-on work can be reduced.

  In addition, when the game state changes such as a probable change state or a big hit state, the player can clearly notify the player of the change in the game state by causing the light-emitting display unit composed of a regular diamond-cut pattern lens to emit light, By applying an irregular random cut pattern to the lens of the light-emitting display unit that is used for a long time after the change, the burden on the eyes of the player can be reduced.

  In addition, an irregular random cut pattern is applied to the lens of the light-emitting display unit that causes the light-emitting means (LED) to emit light with a simple light-emitting pattern, and the light emission display that emits light with a complicated light-emitting pattern is made inconspicuous. By applying a regular diamond-cut pattern to the lens of the part, it is possible to show a complicated light emission mode in an easy-to-understand manner.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as an embodiment of the present invention, the peripheral wall portion provided with the angle type LED 811 provided on the LED substrate 801 and the light diffusion portion 803C for diffusing the light from the angle type LED 811 The angle-type LED 811 can irradiate light in a parallel direction or a substantially parallel direction to the back surface 801D of the LED substrate 801, and the first inner lens 803 includes the LED substrate 801. The plate-like portion 803A is provided so as to cover at least a part of the front surface, and light can enter from the outer surface (light incident portion) of the peripheral wall portion 744B.

  By doing in this way, the 1st light emission display part 851 can be made to light-emit suitably. Specifically, since the light from the angle type LED 811 is not irradiated toward the first inner lens 803 on the front side (player side), there is a portion corresponding to each angle type LED 811 in the first light emitting display portion 851. It is possible to suppress the appearance of shining.

  Further, the first outer lens 807 is provided, and a non-transmissive layer 807C having a low transmittance is provided at a position corresponding to the angle type LED 811 in the first outer lens 807.

  By doing so, the non-transparent layer 807C hides the angle LED 811 and the area until the light emitted from the angle LED 811 reaches the peripheral wall portion 803B of the first inner lens 803, and thus corresponds to the angle LED 811. It is possible to emit light while suitably suppressing that the portion to be lit is lighted, more specifically, light is emitted from the light emitting portion of the angle type LED 811 and direct light emitted from the light emitting portion to the peripheral wall portion 803B.

  The first outer lens 807 is shaped like the numeral “7”, and a plurality of angle type LEDs 811 are provided along the periphery of the first outer lens 807. By doing in this way, a number can be made to light-emit suitably.

  The top LEDs 812 and 813 and diffusing means (for example, the second inner lens 804, the second outer lens 808, the third inner lens 805, and the third outer lens 809) are provided, and the top LEDs 812 and 813 are disposed forward. It is provided to be able to irradiate light.

  By doing in this way, since the light emission method can be changed according to the kind of character, the production effect can be improved. Specifically, the first light emitting display portion 851 that represents the number “7” is different from the second light emitting display portion 852 and the third light emitting display portion 853 that represent the characters “AAA” and “XXX”. Light emission can be displayed in a light emission mode. That is, different information can be displayed in different light emission modes.

  The effect control CPU 120 can perform a light emission effect based on a light emission pattern in which the plurality of angle-type LEDs 811 are sequentially turned on from the upper side to the lower side of the first light emission display unit 851. By doing in this way, the production effect can be improved.

  Further, the angle type LED 811) can emit white light, and the first inner lens 803 is formed of a colored (for example, red) transmissive member. By doing in this way, since it is not necessary to use LED which can light-emit in multiple colors, manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the first inner lens 803 having the peripheral wall portion 803B provided with the light diffusion portion 803C is applied as the diffusion means for diffusing the light from the angle type LED 811 provided on the LED substrate 801. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the diffusing unit is provided so as to cover at least a part of the mounting surface of the substrate, and the light from the light emitting unit is provided in a diffusing shape. The substrate, the light emitting means, and the diffusing means are not limited to those described above as long as light can enter from the light incident portion provided, and various substrates and light emitting means provided in other light emitting display portions and effect devices. It can also be applied to diffusion means.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, although the several angle type LED 811 illustrated the form arrange | positioned so that the outer periphery of the surrounding wall part 803B of the 1st inner lens 803 might be enclosed, this invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, a plurality of angle-type LEDs 811 may be disposed along the inner periphery of the peripheral wall portion 803B inside the first inner lens 803. In addition, although the light diffusing portion 803C is provided on the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 803B, which is a light incident portion of the angle type LED 811, it may not be provided.

  In the present embodiment, the black inner layer 807C (specific part) is formed in the region corresponding to the angle type LED 811 in the first inner lens 803, but the present invention is not limited to this. The specific part is not limited, and if the specific part has a lower transmittance than other parts, for example, a lens part having a high light blocking ratio is applied as the specific part by forming a fine uneven part on the surface. Alternatively, the specific part may be a non-transmissive layer made of a color other than black. Furthermore, you may provide a non-permeable member in a specific part separately.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first inner lens 803 is illustrated as having a shape of “7” that is substantially the same as the first light emitting display portion 851, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the first light emitting display portion 851 may not be formed in the same shape or substantially the same shape.

  In the present embodiment, the first inner lens 803 is applied as an example of the diffusing unit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first outer lens 807 is applied. Good.

  In the present embodiment, the angle type LED 811 is an LED capable of emitting white light, and the first inner lens 803 and the first outer lens 807 are configured by a red transmissive member so that a predetermined color is obtained. Although the configuration in which the one light-emitting display portion 851 is configured to be displayable has been illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first inner lens 803 and the first outer lens 807 are colorless and transparent by using the angle type LED 811 as a full color LED. It may be configured by a transparent member so that it can emit light in a plurality of colors.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes an operable lower movable body 450 and guide holes 712 of the guide members 710L and 710R for guiding the operation of the lower movable body 450. The lower movable body 450 includes a first operation that operates on the same plane (for example, a first operation that moves up and down while standing) and a second operation that operates in a direction different from the same plane (for example, an upper portion). The guide members 710L and 710R are reinforced by reinforcing sheet metals 720L and 720R.

  By doing in this way, damage to guide members 710L and 710R by operation of lower movable body 450 can be controlled. In particular, the upper portions of the guide holes 712 formed in the guide members 710L and 710R are curved to the front side, so that the strength of the upper front side of the guide members 710L and 710R becomes weak and is likely to be twisted. By being reinforced by the reinforcing sheet metals 720L and 720R, twisting and the like are less likely to occur, so that the lower movable body 450 can be stably supported.

  The lower movable body 450 moves from the rear to the front of the rear transmission plate 261 through the hole 270 formed in the rear transmission plate 261 when moved to the upper position as shown in FIG. Since the effect of combining with the first movable body 300 is possible, when the lower movable body 450 supported behind the game board 2 is guided forward and upward by the guide members 710L and 710R, the guide members 710L and 710R Since the load of the lower movable body 450 is applied, it can be stably supported by being reinforced by the reinforcing sheet metals 720L and 720R.

  Further, the center of gravity G of the lower movable body 450 with respect to the guide members 710L and 710R does not change when the lower movable body 450 is in the first operation, and the lower movable body 450 with respect to the guide hole 712 is in the second operation. The center-of-gravity position G changes. By doing in this way, game entertainment is improved.

  Further, the lower movable body 450 moves in the vertical direction by the first operation, and moves in the front-rear direction by the second operation. By doing in this way, game entertainment is improved.

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 performs the first operation control for moving the lower movable body 450 up and down between the lower position and the intermediate position in the notice effect, etc., only from the intermediate position to the upper position only in the composite effect (combined effect) described later. The second operation control is performed at a frequency higher than that of the second operation control.

  By doing in this way, breakage of the guide member due to the operation of the lower movable body 450 can be suppressed. Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 moves the first movable body 300 so that the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R, and the like can be combined, as described later. (Movable body effect) can be executed. This united effect is executed, for example, at a predetermined effect timing in variable display that is determined to be a big hit. For example, in the notice effect, the lower movable body 450 is moved to the lower position and the intermediate position. It is lower than the frequency of executing the first motion control that suggests or stutters that the robot moves up and down to develop into super reach. As described above, by increasing the number of execution opportunities of the first motion control with a smaller load than the second motion control with a large load on the guide members 710L and 710R, the breakage of the guide members 710L and 710R can be suitably suppressed. It is preferable to do.

  However, even if the execution frequency of the second motion control is lower than the execution frequency of the first motion control, for example, when the lower movable body 450 is moved to the upper position by the second motion control, the second motion control is stopped at the upper position. If the production period is long, a load is applied to the guide members 710L and 710R. Therefore, it is preferable to reinforce with the reinforcing sheet metals 720L and 720R.

  Further, the strength of the position corresponding to the second operation of the lower movable body 450 of the reinforcing sheet metals 720L and 720R is higher (strongly reinforced) than the strength of the position corresponding to the first operation.

  By doing so, it is possible to reduce the weight of the reinforcing sheet metals 720L and 720R and to maintain the strength of the portion where the load of the movable body acts greatly.

  In the present embodiment, the form in which the holes 721A and 721B are formed in order to reduce the weight of the reinforcing sheet metals 720L and 720R is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the reinforcing sheet metals 720L, 720L, The plate thickness of the position corresponding to the first operation of the lower movable body 450 of 720R is made thinner than the plate thickness of the position corresponding to the second operation, or the material of the position corresponding to the first operation corresponds to the second operation. You may comprise the material of a position with a lightweight material.

  Moreover, although the form which applied the reinforcement sheet metal 720L and 720R as a reinforcement member was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, You may be comprised with raw materials other than a metal material. In addition, a rib or a bent portion is formed at a position corresponding to the second operation, or a position corresponding to the second operation is formed by a two-color molding of a synthetic resin material with a material having higher strength than a position corresponding to the first operation. By doing so, the intensity of the position corresponding to the second action may be higher than the position corresponding to the first action.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the lower movable body 450 is illustrated as moving in the vertical direction in the first operation and movable in the oblique front-back direction in the second operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the first movement may move in the up / down / left / right direction, the second movement may move in the front / rear direction, the first movement in the front / rear / left / right direction, and the second movement in the up / down direction. You may make it move. In other words, operating on the same plane means moving in two axes among the X, Y, and Z axes, and operating in a direction different from the same plane means in directions other than the above two axes. It can be moved.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an example in which the guide holes 712 of the guide members 710L and 710R are applied as an example of the guide portion is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this and can guide the operation of the movable body. If so, it may be a guide groove (rail) capable of guiding the guide convex portion, a guide convex portion capable of guiding the guide groove, or a guide rod for slidably guiding the guide hole. Etc., and various modifications are possible.

  In the present embodiment, the first guide portion 712A is illustrated as being linearly formed in the vertical direction, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the front is directed in the vertical direction. Alternatively, it may be curved backward or meandering.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the guide members 710L and 710R exemplify the form of guiding the lower movable body 450 so as to support the left and right sides, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the guide member is Only one side of the lower movable body 450 in the left-right direction may be guided, or a portion other than the side of the lower movable body 450 may be guided.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the reinforcing sheet metals 720L and 720R are illustrated as being attached with screws so as to cover the outer surfaces of the guide members 710L and 710R. However, the present invention is not limited to this and is reinforced. As long as the sheet metals 720L and 720R are provided on the guide members 710L and 710R, they may be attached to the guide members 710L and 710R in any manner (for example, they may be attached by bonding or the guide member 710L). , May be attached to a part of 710R).

  In the present embodiment, the lower movable body 450 is applied as an example of the movable body. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first movable body 300 and the fourth movable body 600L, Another movable body or the like as shown in FIG. 49 or 600R may be applied.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as an embodiment of the present invention, a structure that is provided in a flat shape, is attached to a board surface plate 200 of the gaming board 2 having a plate thickness, and is provided so as to be in contact with the game ball P.

  By doing in this way, the possibility that the center decoration frame 52 will be damaged can be reduced by scraping the thick board face plate 200 and securing the thickness of the guide portions 225 and 235 of the center decoration frame 52.

  Moreover, the board thickness L35 of the game board 2 is thicker than the board thickness (for example, board thickness L31, L41) of the induction | guidance | derivation part 225,235 (L35> L31, L41). By doing in this way, the possibility that the guide parts 225 and 235 are damaged can be reduced. Further, in the case where the center decorative frame 52 is made of a synthetic resin material that is softer than the board surface plate 200, the possibility that the guide portions 225 and 235 are damaged can be suitably reduced.

  The center decorative frame 52 has inclined surface portions 227 and 237 provided at positions where the center decorative frame 52 can come into contact with the game ball P. By doing in this way, since the momentum of the game ball P which flows down can be relieved by the inclined surface parts 227 and 237, the possibility that the guide parts 225 and 235 are damaged can be reduced.

  Further, the center decorative frame 52 has a guide portion 225 disposed in the specific portion 231 in a state where the center decorative frame 52 is attached to the board surface plate 200, and the guide portion 225 is a screw for attaching the center decorative frame 52 to the board surface plate 200. There is no mounting hole 210.

The base member 700 is formed in a square frame shape by an upper side portion, a left side portion, a right side portion, and a lower side portion, and each upper side portion, left side portion, right side portion, and lower side portion is each of the display screens of the image display device 5A. It arrange | positions along a side and can visually recognize the display screen of image display apparatus 5A, 5X, 5Y through a center opening. As will be described later, this movable body unit can be changed to an operation standby mode, a first operation mode, and a second operation mode.

(First movable body and fourth movable body)
The first movable body 300 includes a slide plate 301 movably attached along a rail 701 extending obliquely downward from the upper side of the base member 700, and a rotation shaft 305 at the tip of the slide plate 301. Main body 302 pivotally supported, first projecting section 303 and second projecting section 304 attached to main body section 302 so as to project and retract, first drive mechanism 310, second drive mechanism 320, a third drive mechanism 330, and a fourth drive mechanism 340 (see FIG. 2).

  The first movable body 300 is moved by a first drive mechanism 310 including a first drive motor 311 and gears to a first standby position that is an origin position above the image display device 5 and above the game board 2 (see FIG. 38 and FIG. 38). 41) and a first effect position (see FIGS. 39 and 42) in front of the display area of the image display device 5 and substantially in the center of the game board 2, along the rail 701. . The first drive mechanism 310 includes a first standby position sensor and a first effect position sensor that detect the position of the first movable body 300.

  Since the slide plate 301 of the first movable body 300 is attached so as to be movable in the front-rear direction along the rail 701 of the base member 700, the first movable body 300 includes the first transmission body 250, the second transmission body 260, and the like. Accelerate during this period to advance. That is, the slide plate 301 of the first movable body 300 and the rail 701 of the base member 700 constitute acceleration advancement means. Further, in order to further enhance the acceleration performance, a material or shape having a lower sliding resistance between the slide plate 301 and the rail 701 may be used. Further, lubricating oil or the like may be applied to further reduce the sliding resistance. Moreover, you may make it provide the acceleration assistance means (for example, spring member etc.) (not shown) which assists the acceleration of the 1st movable body 300. For example, acceleration of the first movable body 300 can be supported by a spring force that attempts to return the spring member to the natural length from the biased state in which the spring member is contracted to the natural length. For this reason, a powerful movable body effect can be provided to the player.

  The main body 302 has a substantially hexahedron shape, and is fixed to a rotation shaft 305 that faces in the left-right direction. Hereinafter, in the main body 302, a surface facing the front in a normal state (operation standby mode) will be described as a surface A, and a surface facing upward will be described as a surface B.

  The rotation shaft 305 is rotated by a second drive mechanism 320 including a second drive motor and gears (not shown), and the surface A of the main body 302 faces the front and the surface B turns upward. A moving standby state (see FIGS. 38 and 41), a first rotating state (see FIGS. 39 and 42) in which the surface A faces obliquely upward and the surface B faces backward, and the surface A is obliquely forward. The rotation state of the main body 302 can be switched between a second rotation state (see FIGS. 40 and 43) in which the side B faces downward and the surface B faces obliquely upward. The second drive mechanism 320 includes a rotation standby position sensor that detects the rotation state of the first movable body 300, a first rotation position sensor, and a second rotation position sensor.

  The first protrusion 303 is in a first storage state (FIGS. 38, 40 and 41, FIG. 38) built in the main body 302 by the third drive motor 330 and a third drive mechanism 330 including a gear and a rack (not shown). 43) and a first projecting state projecting outward from the surface A of the main body 302 (see FIGS. 39 and 42). In the first storage state, the entire first protrusion 303 is stored in the main body 302 and does not protrude outside from the main body 302. The third drive mechanism 330 includes a first protruding position sensor and a first storage position sensor that detect the state of the first protruding portion 303.

  The second protrusion 304 is in a second housed state (FIGS. 38, 39 and 41) partially built into the main body 302 by the fourth drive motor 341 and a fourth drive mechanism 340 including a gear and a rack (not shown). 42) and a second projecting state projecting outward from the surface B of the main body 302 (see FIGS. 40 and 43). In the second storage state, a part of the first projecting portion 303 projects outward from the surface B of the main body 302, but the back surface of the surface B in the rotation standby state or the first rotation state. Since it is arranged on the side, it is less noticeable from the player (front side). The fourth drive mechanism 340 includes a second protruding position sensor and a second storage position sensor that detect the state of the second protruding portion 304.

  The fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are attached to the left and right sides of the upper side of the base member 700. The upper side drive mechanisms 610L and 610R including an upper side drive motor, a gear, a rack, and the like (not shown) It is possible to move up and down between a fourth standby position (see FIGS. 38 and 39) arranged on the upper side and a fourth effect position (see FIG. 40) arranged on the center side of the game board 2. It has become. Specifically, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R move so as to approach each other from the left and right sides of the upper side of the base member 700 toward the center, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R The fourth standby position is disposed at a position spaced from both the left and right sides of the first movable body 300 at the first standby position, and at the fourth presentation position at a position close to both the left and right sides of the first movable body 300 at the first presentation position. Be placed. The upper side drive mechanisms 610L and 610R include a fourth standby position sensor and a fourth effect position sensor that detect the positions of the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R.

  As shown in FIG. 35, in the operation standby mode of the movable body unit, the first movable body 300 is the first standby position (origin position), the second movable body 400 is the second standby position, and the third movable body 500L. 500R is disposed at the third standby position, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are disposed at the fourth standby position. The first movable body 300 is in the rotation standby state, and the first protrusion 303 and the second protrusion The unit 304 is in the first storage state and the second storage state. Since each movable body is arrange | positioned at the peripheral side of the opening 2c of the game board 2 at this time, the display screen of image display apparatus 5A, 5X, 5Y can be visually recognized now from a player (front side) ( (See FIG. 38). For example, as shown in FIG. 1, it can be said that the first standby position (origin position) of the first movable body 300 is a position where the first movable body 300 does not overlap the image display device 5A. Note that the first standby position (origin position) of the first movable body 300 is not limited to this, and may be a position at which the first movable body 300 overlaps a part of the image display device 5A, for example. Further, as shown in FIG. 41, only a part of the front side of the first movable body 300 at the first standby position (origin position) is slightly passed through the hole 270 of the rear transmission plate 261. Although it has entered between 250 and the second transmission body 260, it may be prevented from entering.

  As shown in FIG. 36, in the first operation mode of the movable body unit, the first movable body 300 is the first effect position, the second movable body 400 is the second effect position, the third movable body 500L, 500R is arranged at the third effect position, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are arranged at the fourth standby position, the first movable body 300 is in the first rotation state, and the first protrusion 303 is the first projection section 303. The second projecting portion 304 is in the second storage state. At this time, the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the first protrusion 303 are arranged on the front side of the image display devices 5A, 5X, and 5Y, and have a predetermined shape. They are combined by contacting or coming close to each other so as to constitute an object (see FIG. 39). In other words, after performing the first control, the effect control CPU 120 can control the first movable body 300 to move the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R so that they can be combined.

  As shown in FIG. 37, in the second operation mode of the movable body unit, the first movable body 300 is the first effect position, the second movable body 400 is the second standby position, and the third movable body 500L, 500R is disposed at the third standby position, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are disposed at the fourth presentation position. The first movable body 300 is in the second rotation state, and the first protrusion 303 is the first projection section 303. The housed state is entered, and the second projecting portion 304 is in the second projecting state. At this time, the first movable body 300, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R, and the second projecting portion 304 are arranged on the front side of the image display devices 5A, 5X, and 5Y, and a structure having a shape different from that of the first operation mode is used. They are combined by contacting or coming close to each other as shown (see FIG. 40). In other words, after performing the first control, the effect control CPU 120 can perform control to move the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R to the first movable body 300 so as to be combined.

  Further, when the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are combined with the first movable body 300 in the first operation mode, or when the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are combined with the first movable body 300 in the second operation mode. The second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are arranged on the rear side of the rear transmission plate 261 (see FIG. 42). FIG. 43).

  Therefore, when the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are combined, the moving direction of the first movable body 300 in the first control, That is, since it is located at a different position in the front-rear direction, a sense of depth can be generated.

  Next, an example of operation control of the movable body unit by the effect control CPU 120 will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 to 39.

  As shown in FIGS. 38 and 41, in the operation standby mode of the movable body unit, the first movable body 300 is configured such that a part on the surface A side (front side) of the main body 302 is rearward at the first standby position. It is located on the front transmission plate 251 side, that is, on the front side with respect to the rear transmission plate 261 through the hole 270 of the transmission plate 261 (see particularly solid line portions in FIGS. 38 and 41).

(Operation of production control board 12)
FIG. 45A is a flowchart showing the effect control main process executed by the effect control CPU 120 of the effect control board 12. The effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process when the power is turned on. In the main processing, initialization processing is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining the activation control activation interval (for example, 2 ms) (S51).

  After S51, a movable body initialization process at power-on is performed (S51A). In the movable body initialization process (S51A) when the power is turned on, the initial operation of the movable bodies (first movable body 300, second movable body 400, third movable bodies 500L, 500R) based on the supply of power is executed. The The initial operation includes a short initial operation and a long initial operation. In the short initial operation, the movable bodies (the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R) are returned to the initial positions (the origin position, the standby position, etc.). This is the initial operation. In the long initial operation, the movable bodies (the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R) are returned to the initial positions (the origin position, the standby position, etc.). After confirming the operation (the advanced position advanced between the first transparent body 250 and the second transparent body 260 (for example, in the case of the first movable body 300, the advanced position shown in FIG. 42 and FIG. In the first modification, the first operation P1 and the second position P2) are moved to the initial position and then returned to the initial position). In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, for example, it is set to execute a long initial operation. The short initial operation may be set to be executed.

  In the movable body initialization process (S51A) when the power is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 performs the initial of the movable body even if the open / close frame 50 is opened immediately before the initial operation of the movable body or during the initial operation. The operation is executed without being stopped. Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 may turn on a door opening detection switch (for example, a door sensor) (not shown) that can detect the opening of the opening / closing frame 50 during or immediately before the execution of the processing of S51A. Each of the movable bodies (first movable body 300, second movable body 400, third movable bodies 500L, 500R, and fourth movable bodies 600L, 600R) can be executed without being stopped. Drive mechanism (lower drive mechanism 410 for lower movable body 450 including first to fourth drive mechanisms 310, 320, 330, and 340 for first movable body 300, second movable body 400, and third movable bodies 500L and 500R) And the upper side drive mechanisms 610L and 610R for the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R.

  According to this, even if the opening / closing frame 50 is opened during the initial operation of the movable body when the power is turned on, the initial operation of the movable body is not stopped, so that the opening / closing frame 50 is not interrupted when the power is turned on. The operation of the movable body can be confirmed. For example, it is possible to smoothly check the operation of the movable body at the time of factory inspection before the gaming machine is shipped. Moreover, the opening / closing operation confirmation of the opening / closing frame 50 and the initial operation of the movable body when the power is turned on can be performed at the same time, and the inspection efficiency can be improved. Since the operation of the movable body has been confirmed as described above, the movable body can be suitably controlled.

  After S51A, the process proceeds to a loop process for monitoring the timer interrupt flag (S52). When a timer interrupt occurs, the timer interrupt flag is set in the timer interrupt process. If the timer interrupt flag is set (turned on) in the main process, the flag is cleared (S53), and the following process is executed.

  The effect control CPU 120 analyzes the received effect control command and performs a process of setting a flag according to the received effect control command (command analysis process: S54). In this command analysis process, the effect control CPU 120 confirms the content of the command transmitted from the main board 11 stored in the reception command buffer. The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received by an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal, and is stored in a buffer area formed in the RAM. In the command analysis processing, which command (see FIG. 3) is the presentation control command stored in the buffer area, settings and control corresponding to the analysis result are performed.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs effect control process processing (S55). In the effect control process, a process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and display and operation control of the image display devices 5A, 5X, and 5Y are executed. . Next, the effect control CPU 120 executes effect random number update processing for updating the count value of the counter for generating effect random numbers such as jackpot symbol determination random numbers (S56).

  Next, when an abnormality or an error has occurred, the effect control CPU 120 executes a notification control process for executing notification of abnormality, etc. (S57), and then proceeds to S52. As shown in FIG. 45B, in the notification control process, for example, it is determined whether or not a door opening detection switch (not shown) that can detect the opening of the opening and closing frame 50 is ON (S61). For example, a door open detection switch (not shown) for detecting the opening of the opening / closing frame 50 is connected to the main board 11. The door opening detection switch is turned on when the opening / closing frame 50 is opened and turned off when the opening / closing frame 50 is closed. Note that the door opening detection switch may be turned on when the opening / closing frame 50 is closed and turned off when the opening / closing frame 50 is opened. In this case, what is necessary is just to determine whether the door open detection switch is OFF about S61. Based on the detection of opening of the opening / closing frame 50 by the door opening detection switch, the main board 11 transmits a door opening designation command indicating that the opening / closing frame 50 has been opened to the effect control board 12. For this reason, when the door opening designation command is received from the main board 11, it can be determined that the door opening detection switch is on.

  If the door opening detection switch is on (S61; Yes), it is determined whether or not the first movable body 300 is operating (S62). For example, if the first movable body 300 is at the origin position, it is determined that it is not in operation, and if it is not at the origin position, it is determined that it is in operation. The determination method during operation is not limited to this. For example, it may be determined that the first movable body 300 is in operation if the first movable body 300 is in the advanced position (in the case where there are a plurality of advanced positions, each advanced position). Further, when at least one of the first drive mechanism 310, the second drive mechanism 320, the third drive mechanism 330, and the fourth drive mechanism 340 (see FIG. 2) is in the drive operation, it is determined that the operation is in progress. May be. If the first movable body 300 is operating (S62; Yes), a door opening notification (first opening notification) at the time of the movable body operation is executed (S63). On the other hand, if the first movable body 300 is not in operation (S62; No), a normal door opening notification (second opening notification) is executed (S65). The door opening notification during the operation of the movable body is different from the normal door opening notification. For example, the door opening notification during the operation of the movable body is configured such that the notification sound is louder than the normal door opening notification or the notification image and the notification light emission are conspicuous. In addition, the door opening notification during the operation of the movable body is a notification that the movable body is in operation (for example, a notification image such as “the movable body is in operation!” Or “careful about the moving body in operation!”) The content may be output as a voice), and the door opening notification at normal time may not be so.

  Thus, if it is 1st open | release alert | report, it can alert | report that it is open | release of the opening-and-closing frame 50 during operation | movement of the 1st movable body 300, and it will open | release the opening-and-closing frame 50 in consideration of the 1st movable body 300 in operation | movement. Can be dealt with. Further, when the second opening notification is made, it can be notified that the opening / closing frame 50 is open when the first movable body 300 is not operating, and the opening / closing frame 50 is dealt with without worrying about the first movable body 300. can do. For this reason, at the time of notification of opening of the opening / closing frame 50, it is possible to execute an appropriate treatment according to whether or not the first movable body 300 is in operation. In addition, it is good also as the same alerting | reporting, without distinguishing the door open alert | report at the time of movable body operation | movement, and the door open alert | report at the normal time.

  After S63, the operation of the first movable body 300 is restricted (S64). For example, the operation of the first movable body 300 is stopped. In S64, the CPU 120 for effect control is in operation of the first movable body 300 (for example, the first movable body 300 is moved to the advanced position shown in FIGS. 42 and 43 or the second position of Modification 1 shown in FIG. 49 described later). The opening / closing frame 50 is opened (the door opening detection switch) while the advancing operation toward P2 is being executed, or during the retreating operation from the second position P2 toward the first position P1 or the like as shown in FIG. (Not shown) is turned on), the process of stopping the operation of the first movable body 300 is executed. For this reason, when the opening / closing frame 50 is opened, the first movable body 300 malfunctions due to the above-described operations (for example, the first movable body 300 is advanced or retracted) (for example, the first movable body 300 is caught). In addition, it is possible to prevent the first movable body 300 itself and its related parts or door member side parts (such as the first movable body 300 and the second transmission body 260 from being damaged). Thereby, the malfunction by the 1st movable body 300 at the time of the opening-and-closing frame 50 being open | released can be prevented. As shown in FIG. 45B, S64 is executed after S63, but S63 may be executed after S64. In this case, the movable body operation restriction can be executed quickly.

  Further, it is possible to stop the operation of the movable body based on the establishment of a specific condition including at least the opening / closing frame 50 being opened, and the movable body based on the reception of the movable body operation command (establishment of the predetermined condition). (For example, the first movable body 300 controls the advance position shown in FIGS. 42 and 43, the advance action toward the second position P2 of Modification 1 shown in FIG. 49 described later, and the origin shown in FIG. 41). Control of the movable body based on the establishment of a specific condition including at least that the opening / closing frame 50 is opened (for example, control of the backward movement from the second position P2 to the first position P1 or the like). Control of stopping the movable body 300 or the like) can be performed with priority given to control of the movable body. Therefore, the movable body operates when the open / close frame 50 is opened, the movable body operates after the open / close frame 50 is opened, and the open / close frame 50 is opened after the movable body is operated. (For example, pinching by the first movable body 300, the first movable body 300 itself, its related parts, or the door member side parts (the first movable body 300, the second transmission body 260, etc.)) Damage). Thereby, the malfunction by the movable body at the time of a door member being opened can be prevented. The specific condition includes at least the opening / closing frame 50 being opened (detection of opening / closing of the opening / closing frame 50, occurrence of an opening / closing frame 50 opening error, etc.), but is not limited thereto. Absent. The specific condition includes, for example, at least one of a vibration motor abnormality error, an accessory initial activation error, a magnet error (magnetism detection error), a vibration detection abnormality, an illegal winning error, a RAM clear, an opening / closing frame 50 opening, and the like. It may be a thing. Further, the predetermined condition is not limited to the reception of the movable body operation command. For example, conditions that trigger the operation such as execution setting of the movable body effect, execution timing of the movable body effect, reception of an initial operation command, reception of a customer waiting demonstration designation command may be used.

  In S64, the effect control CPU 120 stops the operation of the first movable body 300 when the opening and closing frame 50 is opened during the operation of the first movable body 300. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the effect control CPU 120, in S64, the opening / closing frame 50 while at least one of the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R is operating. When is opened, the operation of all these movable bodies may be stopped, or the operation of only the movable body in operation may be stopped.

  When the opening / closing frame 50 is opened, the effect control CPU 120 stops the operation for the target movable body and continues the operation for the non-target movable body (specific movable body) (or the initial position, etc.) in S64. (You may return to). For example, the target movable body is the first movable body 300 that advances between the first transparent body 250 and the second transparent body 260, and the non-target movable body (specific movable body) is the first transparent body 250 and the second transparent body. The second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R that do not advance between the transmissive bodies 260 may be used. According to this configuration, when the opening / closing frame 50 is opened during the operation of the movable body, the operation of the target movable body (first movable body 300) is stopped, but the specific movable body (second movable body 400, third Even if the opening / closing frame 50 is opened during the operation of the movable bodies 500L, 500R and the fourth movable bodies 600L, 600R), the specific movable body is located between the first transmission body 250 and the second transmission body 260. Since the movable body does not perform the operation, the specific movable body can be continued without stopping the operation (or can be returned to the initial position or the like). Thereby, control according to a movable body can be performed. That is, control according to the type of movable body (whether it is a movable body or a specific movable body) can be performed.

  In addition, the production control CPU 120 stops the operation of the first movable body 300 in S64, but the content of the operation may be limited. For example, the second operation (protruding) of the first movable body 300 is prohibited (stopped), but the first operation (non-protruding) may be continued (executed). In addition, the range, speed, acceleration, and the like of the operation may be a limited range, a different speed (slow speed), a different acceleration (small acceleration), or the like compared to the operation when the opening / closing frame 50 is not opened.

  As an example of restricting the operation of the first movable body 300 (S64), control for moving the first movable body 300 to the initial position (standby position) may be performed. According to this, for example, when the first control or the second control is executed in the movable body effect, an operation abnormality of the first movable body 300 occurs, and the first movable body 300 is moved to the first effect position or the like. Even when it is necessary to perform maintenance by opening the opening / closing frame 50, such as when the movement of the opening / closing frame 50 is stopped due to the movement of the game or the ball is clogged in the game area 10, the first time when the opening / closing frame 50 is opened. Since the movable body 300 is retracted toward a position where the movable body 300 does not contact the rear transmission plate 261 (for example, a standby position), the rear transmission plate 261 and the first movable body 300 can be prevented from being damaged.

  On the other hand, after S65, the operation of the movable body is prohibited (S66). For example, in S66, the effect control CPU 120 prohibits the operation of the first movable body 300 (for example, the first operation ACT1, the second operation ACT2, etc.). As shown in FIG. 45B, S66 is executed after S65, but S65 may be executed after S66. In this case, the movable body operation prohibition can be executed quickly.

  In S66, for example, the effect control CPU 120 may prohibit the operation of all movable bodies (target movable bodies and all non-target movable bodies). In S66, the operation of only the target movable body (first movable body 300) is prohibited, and the non-target movable bodies (second movable body 400, third movable bodies 500L, 500R, fourth movable bodies 600L, 600R, etc.) are prohibited. The operation may be permitted without being prohibited. That is, even when the open / close frame 50 is opened, the non-target movable body may be operated during the operation period. In S66, the content of the operation may be limited. For example, the second operation (protrusion) of the first movable body 300 is prohibited (stopped), but the first operation (non-protrusion) may be continued (executed).

  Further, for example, regarding the prohibition of operation of the movable body (S66), the effect control CPU 120 immediately cancels the prohibition of the operation and enables the operation of the movable body when the open / close frame 50 is closed. Note that the prohibition may be canceled and the movable body can be operated after a predetermined period has elapsed since the closing of the opening / closing frame 50 or when the variable display being executed has been completed.

  On the other hand, when the door opening detection switch is not turned on (S61; No), this process ends after S64 or after S66.

<Notification Control Processing of Another Example (S57)>
As shown in FIG. 46 (A), in the notification control process (S57) of another example 1, an initial operation (for example, a short initial operation) of the movable body is executed when the opening / closing frame 50 is closed (S60A). Also good. In the notification control process (S57) of another example 1 shown in FIG. 46A, the effect control CPU 120 determines, for example, whether or not the door closing flag is on (S60). The door closing flag is a flag indicating that the open / close frame 50 that has been in the open state has been closed. If the door closing flag is not on (S60; No), it is determined whether or not the door opening detection switch is on (S61). Since S61 to S66 are the same as those in FIG. 45B described above, description thereof is omitted here. After S64 or after S66, a door opening flag indicating that the opening / closing frame 50 has been opened is set to ON (S67). That is, since the door opening detection switch is turned on by opening the opening / closing frame 50 (S61; Yes), the door opening flag is set to ON (S67).

  On the other hand, if the door open detection switch is not on (S61; No), that is, if the open / close frame 50 is closed, it is determined whether the door open flag is on (S61A). If the door opening flag is on (S61A; Yes), the door opening flag is reset to off (S61B), and the door closing flag is set to on (S61C). That is, the door closing flag indicating that the open / close frame 50 that has been in the open state is in the closed state is set to ON.

  On the other hand, if the door closing flag is ON (S60; Yes), an initial operation (for example, a short initial operation) of the movable body is performed when the opening / closing frame 50 is closed (S60A). In S60A, the effect control CPU 120 executes the short initial operation of the first movable body 300 when the opening / closing frame 50 is closed. After S60A, the door closing flag is reset to OFF (S60B). On the other hand, when the door opening flag is not on (S61A; No), the process ends after S61C, after S67, or after S60B. Thereby, the first movable body 300 can be reliably returned to the initial position when the open / close frame 50 is closed. For this reason, the 1st movable body 300 can be operated from an initial position, and the 1st movable body 300 can be controlled suitably.

  The effect control CPU 120 may not execute the short initial operation when the first movable body 300 is in the initial position when the opening / closing frame 50 is closed. In this way, it is not necessary to perform an unnecessary short initial operation on the first movable body 300 already in the initial position. For this reason, the short initial operation can be executed only for the first movable body 300 that is not in the initial position, and an appropriate initial operation can be executed.

  The initial operation (S60A) of the movable body when the opening / closing frame 50 is closed may be, for example, a long initial operation.

  In S60A, the production control CPU 120 is not limited to the first movable body 300, but includes all movable bodies (the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable body 600L. , 600R), an initial operation (which may be either a short initial operation or a long initial operation) may be performed. Furthermore, in S60A, the initial operation may not be performed for the movable body at the initial position among all the movable bodies. Further, the effect control CPU 120, in S60A, protrudes between the first transmission body 250 and the second transmission body 260 (first movable body 300) and the first transmission body 250 and the second transmission body 260. All of the non-projecting objects (second movable body 400, third movable body 500L, 500R, fourth movable body 600L, 600R) that do not advance between are returned to their initial positions. One of the non-protruding objects may be returned to the initial position. In S60A, the effect control CPU 120 performs initial operations on all movable bodies (first movable body 300, second movable body 400, third movable bodies 500L, 500R, fourth movable bodies 600L, 600R) in a predetermined manner. You may make it carry out in order (the order set for initial operations, the same order as the time of a movable body effect, etc.). By performing the initial operation in a predetermined order, an appropriate initial operation can be performed. Moreover, you may set a priority to the initial operation | movement of each movable body. As a priority order of the initial operation, for example, the protruding combination (first movable body 300) is set to be more than the non-projecting combination (second movable body 400, third movable body 500L, 500R, fourth movable body 600L, 600R). It may be executed with priority, or vice versa.

<Notification Control Processing of Another Example (S57)>
As shown in FIG. 46 (B), in the notification control process (S57) of another example 2, the detection result of the first movable body 300 whose operation has been stopped by opening the opening / closing frame 50 is detected. (S64A, S64B). The detection means may be at least one of a door opening detection switch (not shown), a push button 31B, and an operation button (not shown) dedicated to a person who can be operated by a person related to the game hall other than the player. . For example, an operation button (not shown) dedicated to a person concerned can be operated by only a person concerned with a game hall by, for example, a button exposed when the opening / closing frame 50 is opened. Here, it is assumed that the detection means is an operation button dedicated to the related person. Since S61 to S66 in the notification control process of the second example are the same as those in FIG. 45B described above, the description thereof is omitted here. After S64, the effect control CPU 120 determines, for example, whether or not there is an operation of an operation button dedicated to a person concerned (S64A). The effect control CPU 120 operates the first movable body 300 whose operation is stopped by opening the opening / closing frame 50 (S64B) when there is an operation of an operation button dedicated to a person concerned (S64A; Yes). The first movable body 300 may be operated during a period in which the operation button dedicated to the related party is operated, or the first movable body 300 may be operated when the operation button dedicated to the related party is operated once. It may be. On the other hand, if there is no operation of the operation button dedicated to the person concerned (S64A; No), this process is ended as it is. Accordingly, the first movable body 300 is operated after confirming safety (for example, the stopped first movable body 300 is returned to the initial position, moved to the first position (for example, stored), etc.) (E.g., move to two positions). Note that the movable body is not limited to the first movable body 300, and all movable bodies (the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, The third movable bodies 500L and 500R and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R) may be individually operated, or all of them may be simultaneously operated. In S64A, the presence / absence of operation of the operation button dedicated to the related party is determined, but the presence / absence of the operation of the game hall related party may be determined by an infrared sensor or the like that detects the operation of the game hall related party. When the operation of the game hall related person is detected, the first movable body 300 whose operation is stopped by opening the opening / closing frame 50 may be operated (S64B).

<Notification Control Processing of Another Example (S57)>
As shown in FIG. 47 (A), in the notification control process (S57) of another example 3, the operation restriction (S65C) of the movable body and the movable body based on whether or not the variation pattern has a movable body effect. The operation may be prohibited (65D). In the notification control process of the alternative example 3, as shown in FIG. 47A, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether, for example, a door open detection switch (not shown) is on (S61). If the door opening detection switch is on (S61; Yes), a door opening notification (second opening notification) is executed (S65). After S65, it is determined whether or not the variation pattern has a movable body effect (S65A). In S505 of the movable body effect setting process, if the movable body effect pattern is set, it is determined that the variation pattern has the movable body effect (S65A; Yes), and if not, the movable body effect is provided. It is determined that the pattern is not a variation pattern (S65A; No). If the variation pattern has a movable body effect (S65A; Yes), it is determined whether or not the first movable body 300 is operating (S65B). For example, if the first movable body 300 is at the origin position, it is determined that it is not in operation, and if it is not at the origin position, it is determined that it is in operation. If the first movable body 300 is operating (S65B; Yes), the operation of the first movable body 300 is limited (S65C). For example, the operation of the first movable body 300 is stopped. In S <b> 65 </ b> C, the effect control CPU 120 executes a process of stopping the above-described operation of the first movable body 300 (such as an advance operation and a reverse operation of the first movable body 300).

  In S65C, when the opening / closing frame 50 is opened during the operation of the first movable body 300, the effect control CPU 120 stops the operation of the first movable body 300. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the effect control CPU 120, in S65C, the open / close frame 50 while at least one of the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R is operating. When is opened, the operation of all these movable bodies may be stopped, or the operation of only the movable body in operation may be stopped.

  In S65C, the production control CPU 120 may stop the operation for the target movable body and continue the operation for the non-target movable body (specific movable body) (or return it to the initial position or the like). . For example, the target movable body is the first movable body 300 that advances between the first transparent body 250 and the second transparent body 260, and the non-target movable body (specific movable body) is the first transparent body 250 and the second transparent body. The second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R that do not advance between the transmissive bodies 260 may be used.

  In S65C, the production control CPU 120 stops the operation of the first movable body 300, but the content of the operation may be limited. For example, the second operation (protruding) of the first movable body 300 is prohibited (stopped), but the first operation (non-protruding) may be continued (executed). In addition, the range, speed, acceleration, and the like of the operation may be a limited range, a different speed (slow speed), a different acceleration (small acceleration), or the like compared to the operation when the opening / closing frame 50 is not opened.

  On the other hand, if the first movable body 300 is not operating (S65B; No), the operation of the movable body is prohibited (S65D). For example, in S65D, the effect control CPU 120 prohibits the operation of the first movable body 300 (for example, the first operation ACT1, the second operation ACT2, etc.). In other words, from the end of the movable body operation during the period from the start of variable display (start of the variation display of the production symbol) to the start (execution) of the movable body effect by the movable body effect for the variation pattern having the movable body effect. The operation of the first movable body 300 is also prohibited during the period until the variable display is confirmed (the confirmed effect symbol (combination of three effect symbols) is stopped). According to this, when the open / close frame 50 is opened during the period from the start of variable display (start of variable display) to the start of the movable body operation, the movable body operation can be prevented from being executed in the first place. In addition, it is possible not to execute the movable body operation even during the period from the end of the movable body operation to the symbol determination. It is possible to prevent an unexpected movable body (particularly, an accessory due to energization) operation caused by command output or output of a movable body operation command due to noise. On the other hand, when the door opening flag is not on (S61; No), when the variation pattern does not have a movable body effect (S65A; No), after S65C or after S65D, the process ends.

  In S65D, for example, the effect control CPU 120 may prohibit the operation of all movable bodies (target movable bodies and all non-target movable bodies). In S65D, the operation of only the target movable body (first movable body 300) is prohibited, and the non-target movable bodies (second movable body 400, third movable bodies 500L, 500R, fourth movable bodies 600L, 600R, etc.) are prohibited. The operation may be permitted without being prohibited. That is, even when the open / close frame 50 is opened, the non-target movable body may be operated during the operation period. In S65D, the content of the operation may be limited. For example, the second operation (protrusion) of the first movable body 300 is prohibited (stopped), but the first operation (non-protrusion) may be continued (executed).

  In addition, for example, regarding the prohibition of operation of the movable body (S65D), the effect control CPU 120 immediately cancels the prohibition of the operation and enables the operation of the movable body when the opening / closing frame 50 is closed. Note that the prohibition may be canceled and the movable body can be operated after a predetermined period has elapsed since the closing of the opening / closing frame 50 or when the variable display being executed has been completed.

  According to the notification control process of the third example described above (see FIG. 47A), since S65A is provided, the movable body by the opening / closing frame 50 only in the case of the variation pattern including the movable body operation effect (S65A; Yes). The operation stop determination process (S65C) and the operation prohibition determination process (S65D) are performed, and the stop determination process is not performed for other variation patterns, so that the processing efficiency can be improved.

<Notification Control Processing of Another Example (S57)>
As shown in FIG. 47 (B), in the notification control process (S57) of the fourth example, the operation restriction (S65C) of the movable body and the operation of the movable body during the customer waiting demonstration based on the customer waiting demonstration designation command. It may be prohibited (65D). Since S61, S65C, and S65D are the same as those in FIG. 47A described above, description thereof is omitted here. In the notification control process of Example 4, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a customer waiting demonstration designation command from the main board 11 has been received after S65 (S65E). The customer waiting demonstration designation command is, for example, a demonstration display (demonstration screen display) by displaying a predetermined effect image on the screen of the image display devices 5A, 5X, 5Y, and a demonstration effect for operating the movable body together with the demonstration screen display. This is an effect control command for designating. If the customer waiting demonstration designation command has been received (S65E; Yes), it is determined whether or not the first movable body 300 is in the demonstration operation (moving body demonstration operation) in the customer waiting demonstration effect (S65F). For example, if the first movable body 300 is at the origin position, it is determined that it is not in operation, and if it is not at the origin position, it is determined that it is in operation. If the first movable body 300 is in a demo operation (S65F; Yes), the operation of the first movable body 300 is limited (S65C). For example, the operation of the first movable body 300 is stopped. In S <b> 65 </ b> C, the effect control CPU 120 executes a process of stopping the above-described operation of the first movable body 300 (such as an advance operation and a reverse operation of the first movable body 300).

  On the other hand, if the first movable body 300 is not in the demonstration operation (S65F; No), the operation of the first movable body 300 is prohibited (S65F). For example, in S65F, the effect control CPU 120 prohibits the operation of the first movable body 300 (for example, the first operation ACT1, the second operation ACT2, etc.). That is, a period from the start of the demonstration screen display to the start (execution) of the demo operation of the first movable body 300, and a period from the end of the demonstration operation of the first movable body 300 to the end of the demonstration screen display. In addition, the operation of the first movable body 300 is prohibited. According to this, when the opening / closing frame 50 is opened during the period from the start of the demonstration screen display to the start of the demonstration operation of the first movable body 300, the movable body operation can be prevented from being executed in the first place. Further, the movable body operation may not be executed during the period from the end of the demonstration operation of the first movable body 300 to the end of the demonstration screen display. It is possible to prevent an unexpected movable body (particularly, an accessory due to energization) operation caused by command output or output of a movable body operation command due to noise. On the other hand, when the door opening flag is not on (S61; No), when the customer waiting demonstration designation command is not received (S65E; No), this process ends after S65C or after S65D. Note that the movable body in the notification control process (S57) of another example 4 shown in FIG. 47B is not limited to the first movable body 300, but the first movable body 300 and the second movable body 400. The third movable bodies 500L and 500R and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R may be at least one of them.

(Command analysis processing)
In the command analysis process, the reception command (the effect control command received by the effect control board 12) stored in the effect control command reception buffer is analyzed (for example, the MODE data is confirmed), and which effect control the received command is. Whether the command is specified or not is processed according to the specified effect control command.

  For example, the reception flag is set according to the specified effect control command or stored in each storage area. Each flag and each storage area are provided in the RAM 122. “Set” for a flag means that the flag is turned on. The state of each flag and the command stored in each storage area may be reset or deleted at an appropriate timing. When an addition designation command for the special figure hold memory number or a subtraction designation command for the special figure hold memory number is received, the hold display in the first hold memory display area 5D or the second hold memory display area 5U of the image display device 5A is received accordingly. The number of images may be increased or decreased.

(Production control process)
The effect control CPU 120 performs start setting for starting execution of various effects in the effect control process (effect start setting), effect operation control for executing the effect that has been set to start, and the like. Each flag, each timer, each counter, and the like described below are provided in the RAM 122.

  The production start setting includes, for example, setting the production control pattern as a usage pattern in the RAM 122 and setting an initial value corresponding to the production control pattern set in the process timer. The timer value of the process timer is subtracted at a predetermined timing (at the start of the effect control process processing, at the time of effect operation control described later, etc.) every time a timer interrupt occurs after setting the initial value. The effect control pattern is a collection of data for executing various effects (including variable display of effect symbols), and is associated with a process timer determination value to be compared with the timer value of the process timer and the determination value. It is composed of process data including the produced production control execution data (display control data, audio control data, lighting control data, etc.) and an end code. Data constituting the effect control pattern is stored in the ROM 121.

  The effect operation control is a control for executing an effect based on the effect control pattern set in the effect start setting. Specifically, among the presentation control execution data corresponding to the process timer determination value that matches the current timer value of the process timer, a display control command according to the display control data is transmitted to the display control unit 123 to display an image. The image is displayed on the devices 5A, 5X, 5Y, the drive control command according to the drive control data is transmitted to the display device drive mechanism 900 to drive the image display devices 5X, 5Y, and the effect according to the audio control data A sound signal is transmitted to the sound control board 13 to output sound from the speakers 8L and 8R, or an illumination signal according to the lighting control data is transmitted to the LED control board 14 to turn on / off the effect LED 9. And control to execute the production. Execution of various effects is realized by repeatedly performing the effect operation control every time the timer interruption occurs.

  FIG. 48A is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control process. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 executes one of S170 to S175 according to the value of the effect process flag.

  Next, the processing of S170 to S175 will be described. The variable display start waiting process in S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “0”. In the variable display start waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a variation pattern designation command or the like from the main board 11 has been received. The determination may be made based on whether or not the command is stored in the variation pattern designation command storage area, for example. If the command has been received, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “1”, and this process ends. If the command has not been received, this process ends.

  The variable display start setting process of S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “1”. In the variable display start setting process shown in FIG. 48B, the effect control CPU 120 first determines a final stop symbol or the like that becomes a finalized effect symbol as a variable display result of the effect symbol (S321). For example, the effect control CPU 120 performs the final stop based on the variable display contents such as the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern designation command transmitted from the main board 11 and the variable display result indicated by the variable display result notification command. Determine the design. As an example, the variable display contents according to the combination of the fluctuation pattern and variable display result include “non-reach (loss)”, “reach (loss)”, “non-probability change (big hit)”, and “probability change (big hit)”. is there.

  When the variable display content is “non-reach (losing)”, the variable display state of the production symbol is not changed to the reach state, but the fixed production symbol of the non-reach combination is stopped and displayed, and the variable display result is “losing”. " When the variable display content is “reach (lost)”, after the variable display state of the effect symbol becomes the reach state, the fixed effect symbol of the reach lose combination is stopped and displayed, and the variable display result becomes “lost”. . When the variable display content is “non-probable change (big hit)”, the variable display result is “big hit”, and the gaming state after the end of the big hit gaming state is the short-time state. When the variable display content is “probable change (big hit)”, the variable display result is “big win”, and the gaming state after the big hit gaming state is changed to the probable state.

  When the variable display content is “non-reach (losing)”, the effect control CPU 120 uses the “left” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L and 5R to display different (unmatched) effect symbols as the final stop symbols. To decide. The effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data indicating random values for determining the left determined symbol updated by the random number circuit 124 or the effect random counter, and stores the left determined symbol determination table prepared and stored in the ROM 121 in advance. By referring to this, the left confirmed effect symbol to be stopped and displayed in the “left” effect symbol display area 5L on the screen of the image display device 5A is determined among the confirmed effect symbols. Next, numerical data indicating a random number value for determining the right determined symbol updated by the random number circuit 124 or the effect random counter is extracted, and the right determined symbol determining table prepared in advance stored in the ROM 121 is referred to. For example, the right determined effect symbol to be stopped and displayed in the “right” effect symbol display area 5R on the screen of the image display device 5A is determined. At this time, the symbol number of the right confirmed effect symbol may be determined so as to be different from the symbol number of the left confirmed effect symbol by setting in the right confirmed symbol determination table. Subsequently, the numerical data indicating the random number value for determining the medium fixed symbol updated by the random number circuit 124 or the production random counter is extracted, and the medium fixed symbol determination table prepared in advance stored in the ROM 121 is referred to. For example, the medium determined effect symbol to be stopped and displayed in the “medium” effect symbol display area 5C on the screen of the image display device 5A is determined.

  When the variable display content is “reach (losing)”, the CPU 120 for effect control uses the same (matching) effect symbols in the “left” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L and 5R as the final stop symbols. To decide. The effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data indicating random values for determining the left and right determined symbols updated by the random number circuit 124 or the effect random counter, and stores the left and right determined symbol determination table prepared in advance and stored in the ROM 121. By referencing or the like, an effect symbol with the same symbol number that is stopped and displayed in the “left” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L and 5R on the screen of the image display device 5A among the confirmed effect symbols is displayed. decide. Further, numerical data indicating a random number value for determining the medium fixed symbol updated by the random number circuit 124 or the production random counter is extracted, and a medium fixed symbol determination table stored in advance and prepared in the ROM 121 is referred to. Thus, among the determined effect symbols, the medium determined effect symbol that is stopped and displayed in the “medium” effect symbol display area 5C on the screen of the image display device 5A is determined. For example, when the confirmed effect symbol becomes a jackpot combination, such as when the symbol number of the middle confirmed effect symbol becomes the same as the symbol number of the left confirmed effect symbol and the right confirmed effect symbol, an arbitrary value (for example, “ 1)) may be added to or subtracted from the symbol number of the medium finalized effect symbol, so that the finalized symbol is not a jackpot combination but a reach combination. Alternatively, when determining the medium finalized effect symbol, a difference (symbol difference) between the symbol number of the left finalized effect symbol and the right finalized effect symbol may be determined, and the medium finalized effect symbol corresponding to the symbol difference may be set. .

  When the variable display content is “non-probability change (big hit)” or “probability change (big hit)”, the effect control CPU 120 displays the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. The same (coincident) effect symbol is determined as the final stop symbol. The effect control CPU 120 extracts numerical data indicating a random value for determining the jackpot determined symbol updated by the random number circuit 124 or the effect random counter. Subsequently, by referring to the jackpot determined symbol determination table stored and prepared in advance in the ROM 121, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L on the screen of the image display device 5A, An effect symbol having the same symbol number that is stopped and displayed in line with 5C and 5R is determined. At this time, depending on whether the variable display content is “non-probability change (big hit)” or “probability change (big hit)”, whether or not the promotion effect during the big hit is executed, etc. It is only necessary to determine which one of the probable design (for example, the design to be shown) and the probability variation design (for example, the design for producing odd numbers) is to be the finalized design. In the jackpot promotion promotion, a combination of effects (non-probability variation jackpot combination) that recalls a big hit in the image display device 5A but does not recall a probable change state is temporarily stopped and displayed in the big hit gaming state or the big hit gaming state. This is an effect of notifying whether or not the state is surely changed at the end of.

  As a specific example, when the variable display content is “non-probable change (big hit)”, a symbol to be a definite effect symbol is determined from a plurality of types of normal symbols. Further, when the variable display content is “probability change (big hit)” and it is determined not to execute the jackpot promotion effect, the one that becomes the definite effect design is determined from among a plurality of types of probability change symbols. On the other hand, when the variable display content is “probability change (big hit)”, when it is determined to execute the promotion effect during the big hit, the one that becomes the finalized effect symbol is determined from the plural types of normal symbols. Thereby, it is only necessary to prevent the promotion effect during the big hit from being executed despite the fact that the probability variation symbols are all derived and displayed as the confirmed effect symbols, so that the player is not distrusted.

  After S321, change effect setting processing for performing execution setting of the hold display change effect is executed (S322). In the change effect setting process, the execution setting of the hold display change effect is performed when the execution condition of the hold display change effect is satisfied based on the stored contents of the hold display data storage unit. In the change effect setting process, the execution setting of the hold display change effect is performed when the execution condition of the hold display change effect is established based on whether or not the “pseudo-continuous” variable display effect is executed. You may do it.

  After S322, the effect control pattern is determined as one of a plurality of patterns prepared in advance (S323). For example, the effect control CPU 120 selects any one of a plurality of prepared effect control patterns (special-figure change effect control patterns) corresponding to the change pattern indicated by the change pattern designation command and uses it as the use pattern. set. Further, the effect control CPU 120 selects one of a plurality of prepared effect control patterns (display change effect control patterns) corresponding to the execution setting of the hold display change effect by the change effect setting process of S322, and uses pattern Set as.

After S323, the effect control CPU 120 executes a movable body effect setting process (S323A) for operating the movable body in the case of the reach effect of Super Reach A, for example.

  Returning to FIG. 48 (B), following the process of S323A, the CPU 120 for effect control corresponds to, for example, a predetermined pattern (such as an effect control timer setting unit) in the RAM 122 corresponding to the change pattern specified by the change pattern specifying command. The initial value of the effect control process timer provided in is set (S324). And the setting for starting the fluctuation | variation of an effect design etc. is performed on the screen of 5 A of image display apparatuses (S325). At this time, for example, a display control command designated by the display control data included in the effect control pattern (special-fluctuation effect control pattern) determined in the process of S323 is transmitted to the VDP of the display control unit 123. Thus, it is only necessary to start changing the effect symbols in the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of “left”, “middle”, and “right” provided in the display area of the image display device 5A.

  After S325, the first hold display in the first hold storage display area 5D, the second hold display in the second hold storage display area 5U, and the like are updated in response to the start of variable display of the effect symbols. For this purpose (S326). For example, when the first special figure game is executed (started), the display portion (the leftmost display portion) corresponding to the hold number “1” in the first hold storage display area 5D is erased (digested). The first hold display in the display portion corresponding to the other hold numbers “2” to “4” is moved (shifted) to the left one by one. On the other hand, when the second special figure game is executed (started), the display part (the display part at the right end) corresponding to the hold number “1” is erased (digested) in the second hold storage display area 5U. At the same time, the second hold display in the display parts corresponding to the other hold numbers “2” to “4” is moved (shifted) to the right one by one. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “2”, which is a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (S327), and the variable display start setting process ends.

  Returning to FIG. 48 (A), the variable display in-process of S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “2”. In the effect processing during variable display, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display time corresponding to the variation pattern has elapsed based on, for example, the timer value of the effect control process timer (S341). As an example, in the process of S341, when the timer value of the effect control process timer is updated (for example, 1 is subtracted) and an end code is read from the effect control pattern corresponding to the updated effect control process timer value, etc. It may be determined that the variable display time has elapsed. When the variable display time has not elapsed in S341 (S341; No), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is the hold display change effect period for executing the hold display change effect (S342). ). The hold display change effect period may be determined in advance in, for example, the effect control pattern (display change effect control pattern) determined in the process of S323 shown in FIG. If it is the hold display change effect period (S342; Yes), control for executing the hold display change effect is performed (S343). In the process of S343, various commands created based on the setting of the display change effect control pattern are transmitted to the display control unit 123, the audio control board 13, the LED control board 14, and the like. Thereby, a predetermined effect image is displayed on the screens of the image display devices 5A, 5X, and 5Y, a predetermined sound effect is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the effect LED 9 is turned on, blinked, or turned off. Or what is necessary is just to be able to perform a pending | holding display change effect in a predetermined production device by combining some or all of these.

  When it is determined in S342 that it is not the hold display change effect period (S342; No), after S343, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is a reach effect period for executing the reach effect. Determination is made (S346). The reach production period may be determined in advance, for example, in the production control pattern determined according to the variation pattern. When it is determined in S346 that it is the reach production period (S346; Yes), control for executing the reach production is performed (S347). After S347, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the movable object effect flag is on (S347A). If the movable body effect flag is on (S347A; Yes), it is determined whether or not the operation valid period during which the operation of the stick controller 31A or the like is valid (S347B). If it is the operation valid period (S347B; Yes), it is determined whether or not the stick controller 31A has been operated (S347C). When the stick controller 31A is operated (S347C; Yes), the operation flag is set to an on state (S347D). When it is determined in S347B that the operation is not valid (S347B; No), when it is determined in S347C that the stick controller 31A is not operated (S347C; No), after S347D, the movable body It is determined whether or not it is an effect period (S347E). When it is a movable body production period (S347E; Yes), it is determined whether an operation flag is ON (S347F). When the operation flag is on (S347F; Yes), a movable body effect execution process is performed (S347G). If the operation flag is not on (S347F; No), an alternative effect execution process is performed in place of the movable object effect (S347H). Even when the operation flag is not on (S347F; No), the movable body effect execution process may be performed (S347G).

  When it is determined that the movable body effect flag is not ON in S347A (S347A; No), when it is determined that the movable body effect period is not determined in S347E (S347E; No), after S347G, or S347H After that, the effect control CPU 120 executes an effect during variable display including a variable display operation of effect symbols based on the setting in the effect control pattern determined corresponding to the variation pattern, for example. Control is performed (S348).

  If the variable display time has elapsed in S341 (S341; Yes), it is determined whether or not a symbol confirmation command transmitted from the main board 11 has been received (S349). At this time, if there is no reception of the symbol confirmation command (S349; No), the variable display effect processing is terminated and the apparatus waits. If the predetermined time has passed without receiving the symbol confirmation command after the variable display time has elapsed, predetermined error processing is executed in response to the failure to successfully receive the symbol confirmation command. You may make it do. When the symbol confirmation command is received in S349 (S349; Yes), for example, the display result in the variable display of the effect symbol such as transmitting a predetermined display control command to the VDP or the like of the display control unit 123. A control for deriving and displaying the final stop symbol (determined effect symbol) is performed (S350). In the process of S350, the final stop symbol in the variable display of the effect symbol is derived and displayed. Then, after S350, a predetermined time is set as a hit start designation command reception waiting time (S351). After S351, the movable body effect flag and the operation flag are reset to the off state (S351A). Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “3” that is a value corresponding to the waiting process per special figure (S352), and then the effect process during variable display is ended.

  The special figure waiting process in S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “3”. The effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the current elapsed time since the last stop symbol is derived and displayed (measured with a predetermined timer) has reached a preset hit start designation command reception waiting time. However, when the hit start designation command is received when the hit is not reached (when the hit start designation command reception flag is ON), the big hit effect (from the start of the fanfare executed in the big hit gaming state to before the ending) Start setting (such as setting an effect control pattern). Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “4”, and this process is terminated. If the hit start designation command reception waiting time has not been reached and no hit start designation command has been received, this processing is terminated. If the current elapsed time has reached the waiting time, the variable display result of the special figure game is determined to be “lost”, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “0”, and this process is terminated. Since the current elapsed time has not reached the waiting time and the waiting start designation command reception waiting time has not elapsed, the present process is terminated.

  The hitting process in S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “4”. The CPU 120 for effect control sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect contents in the big hit gaming state, and displays effect images based on the set contents on the screens of the image display devices 5A, 5X, 5Y, Operating the image display devices 5X and 5Y, outputting sound and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting commands (sound effect signals) to the sound control board 13, and commands (lighting signals) to the LED control board 14 ) Is used to control various production operations during a predetermined period in which the grand prize winning door as an attacker is opened, such as turning on / off the production LED 9. In the hit process, for example, in response to receiving a hit end designation command from the main board 11, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “5” which is a value corresponding to the ending effect process.

  The ending process of S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “5”, and is a process for executing the ending at the end of the big hit gaming state. In the ending process, the image display devices 5A, 5X, and 5Y perform display control for notifying the player that the big hit gaming state has ended.

  Next, an example of a composite effect including a movable body effect and a display device effect in the present embodiment will be described. First, for example, after a reach state is established during a predetermined symbol variation display, the image display devices 5X and 5Y are moved so as to approach the position on the front side of the image display device 5A, and the image display devices 5X and 5Y are superreached. A display indicating that the production has been developed is performed.

  Thereafter, the image display devices 5X and 5Y come into contact with each other to form a single display unit, and an operation promoting image that prompts the player to operate the operation means is displayed on the display unit.

  If the player operates the operation means during the operation acceptance period of the operation means, the image display devices 5X and 5Y move to the standby position, and the movable body effect is assumed as the start condition of the movable body effect in the present embodiment is satisfied. Is executed, the first movable body 300, the second movable body 400, and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R perform a staging operation, and the movable body unit changes from the operation standby mode to the first operation mode. At this time, each movable body is superimposed in front of the display unit of the image display device 5A, and the display unit of the image display device 5A becomes difficult for the player to see.

  When the first operation mode of the movable body unit elapses for a predetermined time, the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are housed, and the first movable body 300 and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R perform a staging operation. Thus, the movable body unit changes from the first operation mode to the second operation mode. Also at this time, each movable body is superimposed in front of the display unit of the image display device 5A, and the display unit of the image display device 5A becomes difficult for the player to see. During the execution of the movable body effect, the game area side light emitting components (for example, the light emitting components (LED) of the center decorative frame 52, the light emitting components (LED) of the ordinary winning ball device 6A and the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B, the game) At least one of the light-emitting components (LEDs) for causing at least part of the surface of the panel 2 to emit light is turned off or emits light with a lower brightness than when the movable body effect is not executed. Thereby, a movable body effect can be made conspicuous and a player can be watched at a movable body effect. Therefore, the effect of production can be improved.

  Next, when the second operation mode of the movable body unit elapses for a predetermined time, the storage operation of the first movable body 300 and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R is executed, and the movable body effect ends. Then, a super reach effect is executed, and after the super reach effect is executed, for example, in the case of a big hit, the image display device 5A is displayed with symbols indicating the big hit (for example, 7-7-7). The effect images (for example, characters and characters) are displayed on the image display devices 5X and 5Y.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the window 51 for visually recognizing the game area 10, the first movable body 300 provided so as to be operable, and the first movable body 300 are controlled. The window 51 is arranged closer to the game area 10 than the first transparent body 250 and the hole 270 is formed. At least a part of the first movable body 300 enters the space S formed between the first transmission body 250 and the second transmission body 260 through the hole portion 270. The first movable body 300 can execute the second operation of moving to the first effect position that enters between the first transmission body 250 and the second transmission body 260. That is, the 1st movable body 300 can be made to approach at a stretch from the 1st stand-by position (origin position) shown in FIG. 41 to the 1st production position shown in FIG. 42 or FIG. be able to. Thereby, the effect of production can be improved.

  Further, acceleration advance means for accelerating the first movable body 300 between the first transmission body 250 and the second transmission body 260 (with the slide plate 301 of the first movable body 300 and the rail 701 of the base member 700). Therefore, the slide plate 301 of the first movable body 300 can be accelerated and advanced along the rail 701 of the base member 700 obliquely downward. For this reason, a powerful movable body effect can be provided to the player. Thereby, the effect of production can be improved.

  For example, since the rail 701 of the base member 700 is a guide member having an obliquely downward linear path (downward guide path portion), the slide plate 301 of the first movable body 300 faces downward along the obliquely downward rail 701. By being guided, the first movable body 300 can be accelerated and advanced to the second position P2. For this reason, a powerful movable body effect can be provided to the player. A part of the rail 701 may have a part other than downward.

  Further, the first movable body 300 is a first standby position (see FIG. 41) that is a position that does not overlap the image display device 5A (display means) (or may be a position that partially overlaps the display means). It is possible to operate from the origin position) to the first effect position shown in FIG. For example, the first movable body 300 at the origin position is invisible or difficult to see from the player, and the first movable body 300 at the origin position suddenly appears at the first performance position. Can give you a surprise. For this reason, a powerful movable body effect can be provided to the player.

  In addition, the CPU 120 for effect control has the first movable body 300 in the first standby position, with a predetermined portion (front half) on the surface A side (front side) of the main body 302 via the hole 270 of the rear transmission plate 261. After executing the first control to move to the front side until it is located on the front transmission plate 251 side relative to the rear transmission plate 261, and after executing the first control, a predetermined part (front half) on the surface A side (front side) of the main body 302 The first protrusion 303 that is a part of the main body 302 is moved in a direction (front upper direction) intersecting the moving direction (front lower direction) in the first control, or after executing the first control. The second protrusion 304, which is a part of a predetermined portion (front half) on the surface A side (front side) of the first control, is moved in a direction (front upper direction) intersecting the movement direction (front lower direction) in the first control Second control to be performed can be performed. According to this configuration, after performing the first control to move the first movable body 300 toward the first transmission body 250, at least a part of the predetermined portion of the main body 302 (for example, the first protrusion 303 or the second protrusion). By performing the second control to move the protrusion 304) in a direction (front upper direction) different from the movement direction (front lower direction) in the first control on the first transmission body 250 side than the second transmission body 260. Since the player can give an impact, the effect of the production can be improved.

  Specifically, after performing the first control as well as the first control for moving the first movable body 300 toward the first transmission body 250, the direction is different from the moving direction (front downward direction) in the first control. By performing the second control to move in the (front-upward direction), a part of the main body 302 (for example, the first protrusion 303 or the second protrusion 304) is expanded and the first movable body 300 is expanded. Because it seems to be, it can have an impact on the player.

  Further, the rear transmission plate 261 is disposed to face the front side of the board surface plate 200 so that the game ball can flow down between the game board surface 200A and forms a flow area of the game ball between the game board surface 200A. Therefore, the hole 270 is formed at a position corresponding to an effect area (opening 2 c formed on the board surface plate 200) that does not correspond to the flow-down area of the game ball in the game area 10. That is, since it is necessary to secure a flow-down area of the game ball, there is a limit to enlarge the hole 270, and in order to pass the first movable body 300 through the hole 270, the first movable body 300 is It cannot be made larger than the hole 270.

  Therefore, after performing the first control to move the first movable body 300 to the front side as in the present invention, at least a part of the predetermined portion of the main body 302 (for example, the first protrusion 303 or the second protrusion 304). ) Is moved in a direction (front upper direction) different from the movement direction (front lower direction) in the first control on the front side of the second transmission body 260, thereby making the hole 270 more than necessary. A part of the main body 302 is expanded when the first movable body 300 is viewed from the front (player side) at a position closer to the player on the front side than the rear transmission plate 261 without increasing the size. Therefore, the player can provide a powerful presentation.

  In the second control, the effect control CPU 120 moves the first projecting portion 303 and the second projecting portion 304, which are a part of the predetermined portion (front half) of the main body 302, in the moving direction (front and lower) in the first control. Move in a direction (front-up direction) that intersects (direction). By doing in this way, the movement (protrusion operation | movement) of the 1st protrusion part 303 and the 2nd protrusion part 304 of the 1st movable body 300 in 2nd control can be shown suitably.

  In the second control, the first projecting portion 303 and the second projecting portion 304, which are a part of the predetermined portion (front half) of the main body 302, intersect the moving direction (front lower direction) in the first control. The first protrusion 303 and the second protrusion 304 are disposed around the main body 302 when viewed from the front in order to move in the direction and the front upward direction that is along the front transmission plate 251. Since it can be expanded and moved toward the player side, more powerful effects can be provided.

  Since the first movable body 300 moves in the opposite direction (front side) to the game area 10 in the second control, that is, gradually moves forward in the first control and the second control, it has a powerful effect. It can be performed.

  In addition, the first movable body 300 moves forward while descending forward and downward from the first standby position toward the first effect position by the first control, so that the player side is more than the one that moves horizontally. You can make it easier to understand how you are moving towards Further, since not only the surface A of the main body 302 but also the surface B can be visually recognized when moving forward, the main body 302 can be shown larger.

  The second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R that support the first movable body 300 in the first operation mode, and the fourth movable body 600L that supports the first movable body 300 in the second operation mode. , 600R and the like. By doing in this way, the attitude | position at the time of operation | movement of the 1st movable body 300 or after an operation | movement can be stabilized.

  More specifically, the first movable body 300 is operably supported by a base member 700 provided on the back side of the game board 2, and moves to the front side via the board surface plate 200 and the rear transmission plate 261. Since the moving distance is longer than that of a conventional movable body that moves only to the front of the rear transmission plate 261, it may be supported stably via a guide rail or the like. If a guide rail or the like is provided, the visibility may be lowered, for example, when the movable body effect is not executed, the guide rail or the like makes it difficult to see a part of the game area 10 behind. Therefore, by reducing the visibility of the game area 10 during the non-execution of the movable body effect, it is possible to prevent the game area 10 from being deteriorated by being supported only by the other fourth movable bodies 600L, 600R and the like. it can.

  In addition, a related movable body (for example, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R, etc.) different from the first movable body 300 is provided. After the control, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R, and the like can be controlled to move together in the first movable body 300. By doing so, the first movable body 300 and the second movable body (for example, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R, etc.) support each other by combining. Therefore, the posture after movement can be stabilized.

  Specifically, in the first operation mode and the second operation mode of the movable body unit, related movable bodies (second movable body 400, third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and fourth movable body different from the first movable body 300 are used. 600L, 600R) are arranged so as to abut or be close to each other at the peripheral position of the first movable body 300, so that the first movable portion 303 and the second protruding portion 304 protrude, and the first movable after the protruding operation. Even if the body 300 shakes, it can support each other and stabilize its posture.

  Further, when the second movable body 400 and the third movable bodies 500L and 500R are combined with the first movable body 300 in the first operation mode, or when the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are combined with the first movable body 300 in the second operation mode. The second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L and 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L and 600R are arranged on the rear side with respect to the rear transmission plate 261. By doing in this way, when the 1st movable body 300 and the 2nd movable body (for example, 2nd movable body 400, 3rd movable body 500L, 500R, 4th movable body 600L, 600R, etc.) were united. Since the first movable body 300 in the first control is located at a different position in the moving direction (front-rear direction), a sense of depth can be generated.

  Moreover, the window part 51 can open and close the game area | region 10 (refer FIG. 3), and the 1st movable body 300 does not contact the 2nd permeation | transmission body 260, when opening and closing the window part 51 (refer FIG. 44). By doing in this way, damage to the 1st movable body 300 or the 2nd penetration body 260 can be prevented.

  Specifically, the front part of the first movable body 300 (the part disposed closer to the front transmission plate 251 than the hole 270 in the closed state of the opening / closing frame 50) is within the rotation region Z of the hole 270. Therefore, even if the opening / closing frame 50 is opened / closed, the rear transmission plate 261 does not contact the first movable body 300. According to this, for example, during the operation of the movable body unit, that is, during the execution of the first control or the second control, an operation error or the like occurs and the first movable body 300 remains stopped at the first effect position. Even when it is necessary to perform maintenance by opening the opening / closing frame 50, the opening / closing frame 50 can be opened without contacting the rear transmission plate 261, so that the rear transmission plate 261 and the first movable body 300 are damaged. Can be prevented.

  In the present embodiment, the first movable body 300 is disposed in the rotation region Z of the hole 270 even when the first control or the second control is being performed in the movable body effect. Although the embodiment in which the opening / closing frame 50 can be opened without contacting the plate 261 is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second transmitting body is not contacted when the opening / closing frame 50 is opened / closed. Just do it.

  Further, the first movable body 300 is provided with light emitting means (for example, movable body LED 350A, movable body LED 350B, movable body LEDs 350CL, 350CR) that can irradiate light other than the first transmission body 250 after performing the first control. , And movable body LEDs 350DL, 350DR, etc.). In this way, it is possible to appeal the production not only to the player but also to the surroundings.

  Specifically, not only the moving effect of the first movable body 300 but also the light emitting effects of the movable body LED 350A, the movable body LED 350B, the movable body LEDs 350CL and 350CR, and the movable body LEDs 350DL and 350DR can be performed. Can appeal.

  In addition, a gaming machine frame 3 having a gaming board 2 for forming the gaming area 10, an opening / closing frame 50 having a window 51 provided so as to be openable / closable with respect to the gaming machine frame 3, and a window portion in the opening / closing frame 50 The display LED 9 provided in a region other than the door 51 includes an effect LED 9 as an opening / closing door-side light emitting component, and an effect control CPU 120 as light emission control means for controlling the light emission of the effect LED 9. The effect control CPU 120 is a first movable body. 300, the second movable body 400, the third movable bodies 500L, 500R, and the fourth movable bodies 600L, 600R can change the light emission mode of the effect LED 9 to the first to fifth light emission modes. . By doing in this way, the movement of the 1st movable body 300 can be produced suitably.
