Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of simplifying drive control of a movable accessory and reducing a burden of linked control with variation performance control.SOLUTION: Regardless of whether a rotating shaft 141a of a motor is driven in a forward direction or in a backward direction, a first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) starts moving in the same direction (for example, a neck lowering direction) from its initial posture, so that only one of a forward drive signal and a backward drive signal may be outputted when driving the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), thus simplifying drive control of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle). Even during a drive period of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) in a variable display performance, only one of the forward drive signal and the backward drive signal may be outputted, thus dispensing with control for alternately outputting the forward drive signal and the backward drive signal, and reducing a burden of linked control with the variable display performance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 15

Based on the output of the detection switch, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 19 (or the lower plate 15).

  For example, in the case of entering the first start port 33a and the second start port 33b, three prize balls are paid out. In addition, in the case of entering the general winning opening 31 and the variable winning device 32, ten prize balls are paid out. In addition, the number of these prize balls is arbitrary and may be various.

  Note that a game ball enters the third start port 34 and the detected ball is detected by a detection switch (passage detection switch not shown), but even if it enters the third start port 34, The payout of game balls is not executed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the game board 30 is provided with an out port 36, and game balls that have not entered various winning devices or the like pass through the out port 36 in a ball discharge path (not shown). You will be guided toward. A number of nails 39 are implanted in the game board 30 in order to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game ball, and various members (instruments) such as a windmill 37 are arranged.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the variable display device unit 35 variably displays the first symbol (for example, a special symbol) as identification information with a winning at the first starting port 33a and the second starting port 33b as a trigger. Triggered by the passage of the first symbol display device 40 and the third starting port 34, the second symbol display device 41 for variably displaying the second symbol (for example, a normal symbol), the first starting port 33a, the second A third symbol display device 42 that displays a third symbol (for example, a decorative symbol) in a variable manner with a winning at the start port 33b as a trigger is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the first symbol display device 40 includes, for example, a first segment display unit 40a and a second segment display unit 40d, which are segment displays in which a plurality of segment light emitting units are arranged in a predetermined manner. I have. The first segment display unit 40a performs variable emission based on the ball entering the first start port 33a. The second segment display unit 40d performs variable emission based on the ball entering the second start port 33b. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the first symbol display device 40 has a hold lamp 40c indicating the number of hold of the variable display on the first segment display unit 40a and the number of hold of the variable display on the second segment display unit 40d. And a holding lamp 40f indicating the above.

  The first segment display unit 40a changes the light emission of each segment light-emitting unit randomly or in sequence based on the ball entering the first start port 33a, thereby changing the display state of the first symbol (in this embodiment, each When the light emission fluctuation mode of the segment light emitting section is generated and the light emission fluctuation stops, for example, if a symbol indicating a probability big hit (for example, a number or a letter) is displayed and displayed, the probability big hit (specific hit) is indicated and the normal big hit is indicated. When a symbol (for example, a number or a character) is displayed in a light-emitting manner, a big hit (non-specific hit) is usually indicated, and when a symbol indicating a deviation (for example, a number or a character) is displayed in a light-emitting manner, a disconnection is indicated.

  Similarly to the above, the second segment display unit 40d changes the light emission of each segment light emitting unit randomly or in sequence based on the ball entering the first start port 33b, thereby changing the display state of the first symbol ( In this embodiment, when the light emission fluctuation mode of each segment light emitting portion is generated and the light emission fluctuation is stopped, for example, a symbol indicating a probability variation big hit (for example, a number or a letter) is displayed by light emission to show a probability variation big hit (specific hit). When a symbol indicating a big hit (for example, a number or a character) is displayed in a light-emitting manner, a normal big hit (non-specific hit) is indicated.

  In this way, when the probability variation big hit (specific hit) or the normal big hit (non-specific hit), the variable winning device 32 enters a specific gaming state (for example, big hit state) described later.

  In addition, as this 1st symbol display apparatus 40, you may employ | adopt single or several LED of the type which can light-emit at least 2 colors or more. Specifically, as an example of the case where two LEDs capable of emitting red and blue are employed as the first symbol display device 40, for example, by changing the emission color of each LED alternately, A variation display state of the pattern (light emission color mode of each LED) is generated. For example, when both LEDs stop in a red light emission state, a probable big hit (specific hit) is shown, and when both LEDs stop in a blue light emission state, a normal big hit (Non-specific hit) is indicated, and when both LEDs stop in a light emission state of different colors, they indicate a disconnection. Further, the first symbol display device 40 may be constituted by other types of display devices such as a liquid crystal display device, an organic EL display device, a CRT or a dot matrix display. In addition, as a pattern displayed on the first symbol display device 40, a configuration in which a plurality of types of characters are displayed, a configuration in which a plurality of types of symbols are displayed, a configuration in which a plurality of types of characters are displayed, or a plurality of types of characters A configuration in which colors are displayed is conceivable.

  The second symbol display device 41 includes, for example, a display unit 41a on which “○” is drawn for the second symbol, a display unit 41b on which “x” is drawn for the second symbol, and a holding lamp 41c. When the game ball passes through the third starting port 34, for example, the display symbol (ordinary symbol) by the display units 41a and 41b fluctuates, and when the variation display stops at a predetermined symbol, The two start ports 33b are configured to be activated (opened) for a predetermined time. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the third starting port 34 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times of holding is lit and displayed by the holding lamp 41c. The display units 41a and 41b have LEDs (light emitting diodes) inside thereof, and are configured to be variably displayed by switching the light emission of the LEDs (or lighting of the lamps). The second symbol display device 41 described above corresponds to the normal identification information fluctuation display means.

  In the third symbol display device 42, the first symbol display device 40 performs variable display of the first symbol and predetermined display (stop display) on the basis of winning in the first start port 33a and the second start port 33b. In response to this, a variation display of the third symbol and a predetermined display (stop display) are performed accordingly. In addition, in the 3rd symbol display apparatus 42, not only the display effect which triggered the winning to the 1st start opening 33a or the 2nd start opening 33b but the display in the specific game state which transfers after winning a big win Production is performed.

  The 3rd symbol display apparatus 42 is comprised, for example with the liquid crystal display device, and the display content is controlled by the display control apparatus 45 mentioned later. On the third symbol display device 42, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, which will be described later, three decorative symbol rows L, M, and R of left, middle, and right are displayed. Each of the decorative symbol rows L, M, R is composed of a plurality of decorative symbols, and these decorative symbols are variably displayed on the third symbol display device 42 so as to be scrolled for each of the decorative symbol rows L, M, R. The In the present embodiment, the third symbol display device 42 (liquid crystal display device) includes, for example, a large liquid crystal display of 11 inch size. The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 on the front side of the third symbol display device 42 so as to substantially surround the display screen of the third symbol display device 42 when viewed from the front. In the present embodiment, a liquid crystal display device is adopted as the third symbol display device 42, but other types of image display devices (for example, PDP: plasma display panel, EL: electroluminescence display, organic EL, etc.) But you can. The above-described third symbol display device 42 corresponds to decoration identification information (design) variation display means, and the above-described display control device 45 corresponds to display control means.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the variable prize-winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won or difficult to win, and is in an open state in which a game ball is easily won in a big hit and a normal closed state. It is operated repeatedly. In this way, the state in which the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly operated in the open state and the normal closed state at the time of a big win is called a specific gaming state (for example, a big winning state), and the variable winning device 32 has a large number of games. Since the ball enters (wins) and a lot of game balls are paid out for the winning, the game state is advantageous to the player. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the number of game balls thrown in (the number of game balls fired into the game area 30a by the launching device 229) is greater than the number of game balls awarded (general winning port 31, variable). More than the normal game state (game ball consumption state) than the number of prize balls paid out based on the entry of game balls into the winning device 32, the first start port 33a, the second start port 33b, etc. It is possible to change the state to a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit state) in which the number of balls paid out is larger than the number of game balls inserted.

  More specifically, when a game ball wins the first start port 33a, the first segment display unit 40a of the first symbol display device 40 is displayed in a variable manner, and the display of the first segment display unit 40a after the stop of the change is displayed in advance. A specific gaming state occurs when you stop at the set symbol. For example, when a symbol indicating a promising big hit is displayed in a stopped state, it indicates that the specific gaming state of the probable big hit (specific hit) is won, and when a symbol indicating a normal big hit is displayed in a stopped state, a normal big hit (not specified) The win indicates that the player has won the specified game state, and when the symbol indicating the losing is displayed in a stopped state, it indicates that the player has lost (the player has lost the specified game state).

  In the same manner as described above, when a game ball wins the second start opening 33b, the second segment display unit 40d of the first symbol display device 40 is variably displayed, and the display of the second segment display unit 40d after the change is stopped is displayed. A specific gaming state occurs when the player stops at a preset symbol. For example, when a symbol indicating a promising big hit is displayed in a stopped state, it indicates that the specific gaming state of the probable big hit (specific hit) is won, and when a symbol indicating a normal big hit is displayed in a stopped state, a normal big hit (not specified) The win indicates that the player has won the specified game state, and when the symbol indicating the losing is displayed in a stopped state, it indicates that the player has lost (the player has lost the specified game state).

  When a specific gaming state occurs, the variable winning device 32 is configured such that the big winning opening 32a is in a predetermined open state, and the game ball is likely to win (a big hit state). Specifically, the special winning opening 32a of the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times (the number of rounds) with the passage of a predetermined time or a predetermined number of winnings in the open state as one round. In addition, the number of times that the game ball has passed through the first start port 33a is held up to 4 times, and the number of times of holding is displayed by the holding lamp 40c. In addition, the number of times that the game ball has passed through the second start port 33b is also held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times of holding is displayed by the hold lamp 40f. Note that the hold lamps 40c and 40f may be configured to hold display on a part of the display screen of the third symbol display device 42.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the game board 30 is provided with a plurality of rails 51 and 52 for guiding game balls launched from the launching device 229 (see FIG. 3) to the upper part of the game board 30. In addition, the game balls launched in accordance with the turning operation of the game ball launching handle 18 are guided to a predetermined game area 30a through a ball guide passage 49 (to be described later) of the plurality of rails 51 and 52. The plurality of rails 51 and 52 are long metal strip members made of stainless steel, and are attached to the game board 30 in an inner and outer double. The inner rail 51 is formed in a shape excluding a portion from the upper left corner of the substantially vertical ellipse to the lower right corner in the clockwise direction in the front view of the game board 30. The outer rail 52 is formed so that a part (mainly the left side) faces the inner rail 51. In such a case, a guide rail is constituted by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52, and a ball guide passage 49 is formed by a portion (the left portion toward the left) where the rails 51 and 52 are parallel to each other at a predetermined interval. . The ball guide passage 49 is formed in a groove shape having a contact surface with the game board 30, that is, a groove shape in which the front side is opened.

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to the tip of the inner rail 51 (the upper left portion in FIG. 8). This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the ball guide passage 49 between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 to the upper portion of the game board 30 returns to the ball guide passage 49 again. Further, in a state where the game board 30 is attached to the inner frame 12, the outer rail 52 is located at a position corresponding to the maximum flight portion of the game ball (upper right portion in FIG. 8: a portion corresponding to the tip portion of the outer rail 52). , The return rubber 54 is located. Therefore, the game ball fired at a predetermined momentum or more hits the return rubber 54 and is bounced back. Since the outer rail 52 is made of a long metal strip made of stainless steel, the flight of the game ball can be made smoother, that is, the frictional resistance of the game ball can be reduced. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, from the front-end | tip part (upper right part of FIG. 8) of the outer rail 52 to the right front-end | tip part (lower right part of FIG. 8) of the inner rail 51, the game area in the 1st symbol display apparatus 40 is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the lower right corner of the game board 30 is a space for attaching a seal SL (which may be a plate) such as a certificate (for example, a serial number is described). By sticking a sticker SL such as a certificate to the lower right corner of the game board 30, the game board 30 and the certificate can be uniquely defined.

  Next, the game area 30a of the game board 30 will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the game area 30 a is partitioned and formed in a substantially vertically long circle shape by inner peripheral portions (inner and outer rails) of the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52, and particularly in the present embodiment, the game board 30 The game area 30a partitioned on the board surface is greatly configured.

  In the present embodiment, the game area 30a is viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10, and the area of the guide rail that is a parallel part of the inner and outer rails 51 and 52 is excluded from the area surrounded by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52. As an area. Accordingly, when the game area 30 a is referred to, the guide rail portion is not included, and therefore the left limit position toward the game area 30 a is specified by the inner rail 51, not by the outer rail 52. Similarly, the right limit position toward the game area 30a is specified by the wall 55 (a part of the inner frame 12). Further, the lower limit position of the game area 30 a is specified by the inner rail 51. The upper limit position of the game area 30 a is specified by the outer rail 52.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the payout control device 311, the firing control device 312, the power supply device 313, and the card unit connection board 314 are mounted on the mounting base 231. The payout control device 311 includes a control board including a central control CPU, a ROM, a RAM, various ports, and the like. The launch control device 312 includes a launch control board. The power supply device 313 includes a power supply. A control board is provided. The payout control board 311a of the payout control device 311 controls payout of prize balls and rental balls. In addition, the launch control board of the launch control apparatus 312 controls the launch apparatus 229 (see FIG. 9) in accordance with the operation of the game ball launch handle 18 by the player. The required power supply voltage required is generated and output. The launching device 229 of this embodiment employs a solenoid-type launching component that strikes and launches a game ball with a launching rod (not shown) that can advance and retreat according to energization / non-energization of a launching solenoid (not shown). As other launching devices 229, there are various types such as a mechanical launching part that strikes and launches a game ball with a launcher that operates according to the driving of a launching motor, and an electromagnetic launching part that launches a game ball by generating an electromagnetic field. Can be used. The card unit connection board 314 is electrically connected to the ball lending operation unit 120 (see FIG. 1) on the front surface of the pachinko machine and a card unit (not shown), and receives a ball lending operation command by the player and pays it out.

  Each of the dispensing mechanisms 352 from the tank 355 to the dispensing passage (not shown) is formed of a conductive resin material (for example, conductive polycarbonate resin) and grounded (grounded) at a part thereof. . Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the noise by charging of a game ball is suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, an inner frame open detection switch 388 for detecting that the inner frame 12 is opened with respect to the outer frame 11 is provided on the upper right side of the inner frame 12. When the inner frame 12 is opened, it is output from the inner frame opening detection switch 388 to the computer for the hall (in the pachinko parlor).

  Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The pachinko machine 10 includes a main control device 261, a payout control device 311, a launch control device 312, a sub control device 262, a display control device 45, a power supply device 313, and the like. In the following, these devices will be described in detail individually.

  The main control device 261 of the pachinko machine 10 is equipped with a CPU 501 as a one-chip microcomputer that is an arithmetic device. The CPU 501 includes a ROM 502 that stores various control programs executed by the CPU 501 and fixed value data, and a memory that temporarily stores various data when the control program stored in the ROM 502 is executed. A RAM 503 and various circuits such as an interrupt circuit, a timer circuit, and a data transmission / reception circuit are incorporated.

  The RAM 503 is configured so that the backup voltage is supplied from the power supply device 313 even after the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned off and data can be retained (backed up). The RAM 503 temporarily stores various data and the like. Has memory and area.

  That is, when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like, the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 executes the normal processing to the end, so that the RAM 503 is when the power is turned off (including when a power failure occurs, and so on). It is only necessary to store and hold the contents of the counter buffer and the holding ball storage area, and the state of the pachinko machine 10 can be restored to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned on again. Specifically, the RAM 503 has a dedicated backup area for storing values of registers, I / O, and the like for game information during normal processing when the power is turned off (including when a power failure occurs). There is no need to provide it. The N501 terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the CPU 501 is configured to receive a power failure signal S1 output from a power failure monitoring circuit 542, which will be described later, when a power failure occurs due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. Due to the occurrence, the power failure process (NMI interrupt process) is immediately executed.

  An input / output port 505 is connected to the CPU 501 incorporating the ROM 502 and RAM 503 via a bus line 504 including an address bus and a data bus. The input / output port 505 includes a RAM erasing switch circuit 543, a payout control device 311, a firing control device 312, a sub control device 262, a first symbol display device 40, a second symbol display device 41, and other switches not shown. Etc. are connected. The main controller 261 also has a function of controlling the first symbol variation display on the first symbol display device 40 and the second symbol variation display on the second symbol display device 41.

  The RAM 513 of the payout control device 311 is configured so that the backup voltage is supplied from the power supply device 313 and data can be retained (backup) even after the pachinko machine 10 is turned off, like the RAM 503 of the main control device 261 described above. The RAM 513 includes a memory and an area for temporarily storing various data.

  The RAM 513 stores and holds information related to the state when the power is turned off in order to return the state of the pachinko machine 10 to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned off due to a power failure or the like. In other words, the storage of the RAM 513 is executed when the power is turned off by the NMI interrupt process and the second half of the payout control process, and the storage information stored in the RAM 513 is restored in the power recovery process when the power is turned on. .

  An input / output port 515 is connected to the CPU 511 incorporating the ROM 512 and the RAM 513 through a bus line 514 including an address bus and a data bus. Main controller 261, launch controller 312 and payout motor 358a are connected to input / output port 515, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the launch control device 312 permits or prohibits the launch of the game ball by the launch device 229, and the launch device 229 is permitted to drive when a predetermined condition is met. Specifically, the launch control device 312 receives a card unit connection signal S4 from the payout control device 311 (a signal that is output when the card unit described above is connected to the pachinko machine 10), and the player Touch detection signal S5 output when the game ball launch handle 18 is touched and output when the launch stop switch 18a provided on the game ball launch handle 18 for stopping the launch is not operated. The firing permission signal S7 is output to the main controller 261 on condition that all of the fired maintenance signals S6 to be performed are inputted. Further, a volume signal S10 corresponding to the operation amount of the game ball launch handle 18 is input from the game ball launch handle 18 to the launch control device 312. The launch control device 312 outputs this volume signal S10 to the main control device 261. To do.

  That is, the period during which the firing permission signal S7 is ON (high level) is a firing permission state, and the period during which the firing permission signal S7 is OFF (low level) is a firing non-permission state. That is, the main control device 261 has a firing control signal S8 (pulse signal) for controlling a launching solenoid (not shown) that launches a game ball during a period when the input firing permission signal S7 is ON (high level). The ball feed control signal S9 (pulse signal) for controlling the ball feed solenoid that sends the game ball to the launch rail is repeatedly output to the launch control device 312 at a predetermined repetition period. The amplitude value of the firing control signal S8 (pulse signal) is determined based on the volume signal S10 in the main controller 261. For example, the larger the operation amount of the game ball launching handle 18, the greater the firing control signal S8 (pulse signal). ) Becomes larger. The launch control device 312 drives and controls the launch device 229 based on the launch control signal S8 and the ball feed control signal S9, and a game ball is launched with an intensity corresponding to the amount of operation of the game ball launch handle 18. On the contrary, the main control device 261 does not output the firing control signal S8 and the ball feed control signal S9 to the firing control device 312 during the period when the input firing permission signal S7 is OFF (low level). The game ball is not fired by 229.

  The display control device 45 controls the variable display of the third symbol (decorative symbol) on the third symbol display device 42. The display control device 45 includes a CPU 521, a ROM (program ROM) 522, a work RAM 523, a video RAM 524, a character ROM 525, an image controller 526, an input port 527, an output port 529, and bus lines 530 and 531. And. The input of the input port 527 is connected to the output of the sub-control device 262, and the CPU 521, ROM 522, work RAM 523, and image controller 526 are connected to the input port 527. Further, an output port 529 is connected to the image controller 526 via a bus line 531, and a third symbol display device 42 which is a liquid crystal display device is connected to an output of the output port 529.

  The CPU 521 of the display control device 45 controls the decorative symbol display on the third symbol display device 42 based on the various commands transmitted by editing the various commands from the main control device 261 by the sub-control device 262. The ROM 522 is a memory for storing various control programs executed by the CPU 521 and fixed value data, and the work RAM 523 temporarily stores work data and flags used when the CPU 521 executes various programs. It is a memory for.

  The video RAM 524 is a memory for storing display data displayed on the third symbol display device 42, and the display contents of the third symbol display device 42 are changed by rewriting the contents of the video RAM 524. The character ROM 525 is a memory for storing character data such as decorative symbols displayed on the third symbol display device 42. The image controller 526 adjusts the timings of the CPU 521, the video RAM 524, and the output port 529 to intervene in reading and writing data, and reads display data stored in the video RAM 524 from the character ROM 525 at a predetermined timing. It is displayed on the symbol display device 42.

  In addition, the power supply device 313 includes a power supply unit 541 for supplying power to each unit of the pachinko machine 10. The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operation power to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like through a power supply path (not shown). As its outline, the power supply unit 541 takes in an AC 24 volt power supply supplied from the outside, and generates a + 12V power supply for driving various switches and motors, a + 5V power supply for logic, a backup power supply for RAM backup, and the like. Then, these + 12V power supply, + 5V power supply and backup power supply are supplied to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like. Note that operation power (+12 V power, +5 V power, etc.) is supplied to the launch control device 312 via the payout control device 311.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the main control device 261 includes a main control board 261a and a power supply monitoring board 261b separate from the main control board 261a in a board box 263 made of a transparent resin material or the like. . The power monitoring board 261b includes a power failure monitoring circuit 542 that monitors power interruption due to a power failure or the like, and a RAM erase switch circuit 543 connected to the RAM erase switch 323.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 542 is a circuit for outputting a power failure signal S1 to each NMI terminal of the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 and the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the voltage of AC 24 volts with the power supply unit 541, and determines that a power failure (power failure) has occurred when the time when this voltage has become less than 22 volts exceeds, for example, 20 milliseconds. The power failure signal S1 is output to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. Based on the output of the power failure signal S1, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 recognize the occurrence of the power failure and execute a power failure process (NMI interrupt processing).

  Note that the power supply unit 541 has a sufficient time to execute the power failure process even after the time when the AC 24 volts monitored by the power supply unit 541 becomes less than 22 volts exceeds 20 milliseconds. The control system is configured to maintain the output of 5 volts, which is the drive voltage of the control system, at a normal value. Therefore, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 can normally execute and complete the power failure process.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 543 is a circuit for taking in the switch signal of the RAM erase switch 323 and clearing backup data in the RAM 503 of the main controller 261 and the RAM 513 of the payout controller 311 in accordance with the state of the switch 323. When the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs a RAM erase signal S2 to the main control board 261a. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erase switch 323 pressed (including power-on due to power failure cancellation), the data in the RAM 503 is cleared in the main controller 261, and the payout controller 311 is in the main controller. When the initialization command from H.261 is received, the data in the RAM 513 is cleared.

  When the command from the main control device 261 is a command indicating a super reach where the expected value that is a big hit state for the player is higher than the normal reach, the sub control device 262 shown in FIG. By executing the drive control program, the swing control of only the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is performed. That is, the drive control unit (not shown) of the sub-control device 262 swings only the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle).

  Specifically, the drive control unit (not shown) of the sub-control device 262 rotates the first gear 143 counterclockwise in the initial posture state of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) shown in FIG. The rotation of the motor 141 is controlled so that the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) has its head lowered as shown in FIG. 15B. Then, when the state shown in FIG. 15B is reached, the motor 141 is controlled so as to turn the first gear 143 back by about 180 degrees clockwise, and the first gear 143 shown in FIG. The first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is returned to the initial posture state, and the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is returned to the state where the head is raised. A drive control unit (not shown) controls the rotation of the motor 141 so that this swinging operation is repeated a plurality of times in accordance with the variable display effect.

  At this time, the second gear 163 is rotated 90 degrees clockwise by the counterclockwise 180-degree rotation of the first gear 143 (the second gear 163 is changed from the state shown in FIG. b), the second gear 163 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise by the clockwise rotation of the first gear 143 in the state shown in FIG. 15B (second gear). 163 will return from the state shown in FIG. 15 (b) to the state shown in FIG. 15 (a)), but as shown in FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b), the second movable accessory 72 Since the second eccentric pin portion 163a of the second gear 163 only moves back and forth within the range of the arc-shaped elongated hole of the second elongated hole portion 164a of the (second turtle) second arm 164, the second gear 163 Is not transmitted to the second arm 164, and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) It does not swing. That is, only the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is swinging.

  Next, a case where the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) swing will be described.

  When the command from the main control device 261 is a command indicating a special reach in which the expected value that is a big hit state for the player is higher than the super reach, for example, the sub-control device 262 shown in FIG. The swing control of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) is performed by executing this drive control program. That is, the drive control unit (not shown) of the sub-control device 262 swings the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle). As shown in FIG. 17, the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) swings about 23 degrees, and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) swings about 25 degrees.

  Specifically, the drive control unit (not shown) of the sub-control device 262 rotates the first gear 143 clockwise in the initial posture state of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) shown in FIG. The rotation of the motor 141 is controlled so as to rotate about 150 degrees, and the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is changed to a state where the head is lowered as shown in FIG. Then, when the state shown in FIG. 15 (c) is reached, the motor 141 is controlled to rotate so that the first gear 143 is rotated back about 150 degrees counterclockwise, as shown in FIG. 15 (a). The first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is returned to the initial posture state, and the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is returned to the state where the head is raised. A drive control unit (not shown) controls the rotation of the motor 141 so that this swinging operation is repeated a plurality of times in accordance with the variable display effect.

  At this time, the second gear 163 is rotated 75 degrees counterclockwise by the clockwise rotation of the first gear 143 by 150 degrees (the second gear 163 is moved from the state shown in FIG. c), and the second gear 163 rotates counterclockwise by 150 degrees in the state shown in FIG. 15C (second gear 163 rotates clockwise by the second gear 163). 163 returns from the state shown in FIG. 15C to the state shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (c), the second movable combination 72 (medium turtle) is within the range of the linear slot of the second slot 164a of the second arm 164 of the second arm 164. The second eccentric pin portion 163a of the second gear 163 will come and go, and the tip end side of the second arm 164 may be swung (the second arm 164 is tilted to the right as shown in FIG. 15C), or the second arm 164 may be moved. The tip side of the second arm 164 is returned (upright posture state of the second arm 164 shown in FIG. 15A), and the force from the first gear 143 raises or lowers the head of the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle). The second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) also swings. That is, the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) are swung.

  Next, a case where all of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle), and the third movable accessory 73 (large turtle) swing will be described.

  In the sub control device 262 shown in FIG. 9, when the command from the main control device 261 is a command indicating a premium reach that must be a big hit for the player, for example, the CPU 551 executes the drive control program for the movable accessory. Thus, swing control of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle), and the third movable accessory 73 (large turtle) is performed. That is, the drive control unit (not shown) of the sub-control device 262 swings the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle), and the third movable accessory 73 (large turtle). Let

  Specifically, the drive control unit (not shown) of the sub-control device 262 performs the above-described special reach for the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle). In the same manner, the third movable accessory 73 (large turtle) is also swung. That is, the first movable combination 71 (small turtle), the second movable combination 72 (medium turtle), and the third movable combination 73 (large turtle) swing.

  In the case of the special reach described above (the swing of the first movable combination 71 (small turtle) and the second movable combination 72 (medium turtle)), the first movable combination 71 (small turtle) and the second movable combination. The swinging of the object 72 (medium turtle) is started at the same time. First, only the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is started to swing, and then the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the second movable The accessory 72 (medium turtle) may be swung simultaneously. In the case of the premium reach (swing of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) and the third movable accessory 73 (large turtle)), it is assumed to be similarly oscillated. It may be. That is, first, only the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is started to swing, and then the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) are simultaneously swinged. Thereafter, the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle), and the third movable accessory 73 (large turtle) may all be swung.

  Next, when the power is turned on, the pachinko machine 10 performs control to return the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) to the initial posture state (see FIG. 15A). When the power is turned on, since it is not known what posture state the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is in, the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is in the initial posture state (see FIG. 15A). ). Below, this control is demonstrated.

  A drive control unit (not shown) of the sub-control device 262 performs the following control when the sub-control device 262 is activated by turning on the power of the pachinko machine 10.

  As shown in FIGS. 13, 14, 16, and 18, the initial rotation of the second gear 163 when the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is in the initial posture state (see FIG. 15A). An initial position detection sensor 170 for detecting the position and a forward rotation 90 degree detection sensor 171 (initial position return sensor) for detecting a position where the second gear 163 rotates 90 degrees in the forward rotation (clockwise) are provided. Yes. These sensors are, for example, optical sensors (for example, transmissive photointerrupters), and a detection piece 163b formed on the disk surface of the second gear 163 is positioned between the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion of the transmissive photointerrupter. Then, the light is shielded and the position can be detected.

  When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, the drive control unit (not shown) of the sub-control device 262 controls the rotation of the motor 141 so that the second gear 163 is rotated 93 degrees clockwise (clockwise). To do. Since the motor 141 (step motor) rotates the second gear 163 by 0.75 degrees in one step, the drive control unit (not shown) has 120 steps (90 degrees) +4 steps (3 degrees) = The motor 141 is driven and controlled to rotate the second gear 163 forward (clockwise) in a total of 124 steps (93 degrees). With this drive control, the second gear 163 rotates 93 degrees.

  When the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, for example, when the detection piece 163b of the second gear 163 is located at a position between the initial position detection sensor 170 and the forward rotation 90 degree detection sensor 171 (that is, the second gear). When the second gear 163 rotates 93 degrees, the detection piece 163b is detected by the forward rotation 90-degree detection sensor 171. At the same time, when the second gear 163 is stopped and rotated 90 degrees from the position detected by the forward rotation 90 degree detection sensor 171 (clockwise), the detection piece 163b is positioned at the initial position detection sensor 170, and the second gear 163 is moved. It is possible to return to the initial rotation position. That is, the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) can be in the initial posture state (see FIG. 15A).

  When the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, for example, when the detection piece 163b of the second gear 163 is positioned on the left side of the initial position detection sensor 170 (that is, the second gear 163 is opposite to the rotation initial position). In the case of the clockwise rotation), the detection piece 163b is detected by the initial position detection sensor 170 while the second gear 163 rotates 93 degrees, and the second gear 163 is stopped simultaneously with this detection. Since the detection piece 163b is located at the initial position detection sensor 170 at this position, the second gear 163 can be returned to the initial rotation position. That is, the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) can be in the initial posture state (see FIG. 15A).

  Further, the initial position detection sensor 170 and the forward rotation 90 degree detection sensor 171 described above correspond to detection means, and the motor 141 is stopped upon detection by the initial position detection sensor 170, and detection by the forward rotation 90 degree detection sensor 171 is performed. Based on this, the motor 141 is driven so as to reverse the second gear 163 by 90 degrees (clockwise), and the motor 141 is stopped when detected by the initial position detection sensor 170. The function corresponds to the initial posture setting means.

  Further, the second gear 163 is prevented from rotating beyond the range of 95 degrees forward (clockwise) from the initial rotation position and 78 degrees from the initial rotation position to the reverse (counterclockwise). The disc surface is provided with a regulating projection.

  Specifically, when the second gear 163 rotates forward by 95 degrees (clockwise) from its initial rotation position, the restricting protrusion becomes the first restricting wall of the back member (not shown) of the upper decorative portion 70 shown in FIG. It is restricted so that it can no longer rotate forward (clockwise) when hitting the part (not shown). When the restricting projection of the second gear 163 hits the first restricting wall (not shown), the second gear 163 is reversed 95 degrees (counterclockwise), and the second gear 163 is returned to the initial rotation position. .

  Further, when the second gear 163 is reversed 80 degrees (counterclockwise) from the initial rotation position, the restricting protrusion becomes the second restricting wall portion (not shown) of the back member (not shown) of the upper decorative portion 70 shown in FIG. (Omitted), so that no further reversal (counterclockwise) is allowed. When the restricting projection of the second gear 163 hits the second restricting wall (not shown), the second gear 163 is approximately 80 degrees (100 steps (75 degrees) +7 steps (5.25 degrees)) = 107 steps in total. ) Reverse counterclockwise) and the second gear 163 is returned to the initial rotation position.

  The drive control unit (not shown) of the sub-control device 262 sends a predetermined command (for example, the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) from the main control device 261 to the initial posture state when the pachinko machine 10 is powered on. Control to return the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) to the initial posture state (see FIG. 15 (a)).

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) to be driven, and the drive mechanism 140 that drives the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) The drive mechanism 140 includes a motor 141 having a rotation shaft 141a that can be rotated forward and reverse, and the first movable accessory 71 (even if the rotation shaft 141a is driven forward or reverse. A first transmission mechanism 142 that transmits the force from the motor 141 to the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) so that the small turtle) starts to move in the same direction (for example, the neck-lowering direction) from the initial posture. Yes.

  Therefore, the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) starts to move in the same direction (for example, the neck-lowering direction) from the initial posture, regardless of whether the rotation shaft 141a of the motor 141 is driven forward or reverse. When driving the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), it is only necessary to output either the forward drive signal or the reverse drive signal, and the drive control of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is simplified. Can be Further, during the driving period of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) in the variable display effect, it is only necessary to output either the normal rotation driving signal or the reverse driving signal, so that the normal driving signal and the reverse driving signal are output. Control for alternately outputting signals can be eliminated, and the interlocking control burden with the variable display effect can be reduced. Therefore, the drive control of the 1st movable accessory 71 (small turtle) can be simplified, and the pachinko machine which can reduce the interlocking control burden with a change display effect can be provided.

  In addition, a drive control unit (not shown) that controls the drive mechanism 140 is provided, and the first transmission mechanism unit 142 is attached to the rotation shaft 141a of the motor 141 and rotates about the rotation shaft 141a. The first eccentric pin portion 143a of the eccentric portion of the first gear 143 is inserted and engaged with the gear 143 and the first elongated hole portion 144a formed on one end side, and the other end side is the first movable accessory 71. A first arm 144 that is pivotally supported so as to rotate about the rotation shaft 71a of the (small turtle), and a predetermined portion between one end side and the other end side of the first arm 144 (in this embodiment) For example, the first eccentric protrusion 71b at the eccentric portion of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is inserted into and engaged with the first elongated hole portion 144b formed at a location close to the base end side, for example. An engagement portion 145, and the drive control portion (not shown) includes the first arm 1 4 is a state in which one end side of the first arm 144 is positioned at one swing limit position within a range in which one end side swings around the other end side of the rotation center 4 (first shown in FIG. 15A). The state of the arm 144) is the initial posture of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the first gear 143 is rotated forward with reference to the case where the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is in the initial posture. The motor 141 is driven and controlled to start (clockwise) and reverse (counterclockwise).

  Therefore, the rotation of the first gear 143 by the motor 141 can be converted into the swing of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) through the first arm 144, and the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is oscillated. Can do. Further, when the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is swung, it is only necessary to output either the forward drive signal or the reverse drive signal, and the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is swung. Control can be simplified. Further, even during the swinging period of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) in the variable display effect, it is only necessary to output either the normal rotation drive signal or the reverse drive signal, so that the reverse rotation drive signal and the reverse rotation signal are inverted. Control that alternately outputs drive signals can be eliminated, and the interlocking control burden with the variable display effect can be reduced.

  Further, in the initial posture of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), one end side of the first arm 144 is positioned at one swing limit position, and the first gear 143 is rotated forward and reverse with reference to this initial posture. Since the operation starts, the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) swings in the same direction (for example, the neck-down direction) from the initial posture, regardless of whether the rotation shaft 141a of the motor 141 is driven forward or reverse. In the case where the movable object swings in synchronization with the variable display effect, the player detects the type of the variable display effect when the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) starts to swing. Can be reduced. For example, in the case of a movable object that starts to move in a plurality of directions, the player may be informed of the type of the variable display effect based on the movement start. Can be reduced.

  The second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle), which is different from the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), and the second transmission mechanism portion 160 that engages with the first transmission mechanism portion 142 are provided. The transmission mechanism unit 160 receives the first movable mechanism 71 (small turtle) from the first transmission mechanism unit 142 so as to drive the second movable combination 72 (medium turtle) when the motor 141 is reversed in the initial posture. The transmission unit 161 that transmits the force to the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) and the first transmission mechanism 142 when the motor 141 rotates forward in the initial posture of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle). A non-transmitting portion 162 that does not transmit force to the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle).

  Therefore, when the motor 141 is reversed in the initial posture of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), both the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) are driven. Is done. On the other hand, when the motor 141 rotates forward in the initial posture of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), the force from the first transmission mechanism 142 is applied to the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle). Without being transmitted, only the first movable combination 71 (small turtle) is driven while the second movable combination 72 (medium turtle) is stopped. Accordingly, the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) are driven, and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) is stopped and the first movable accessory 71 is stopped. The mode of driving only (small turtles) can be realized with only a single motor, and the motors normally required for each movable object (two drive sources) can be completed with one motor. The number of points can be reduced, and space can be saved.

  In addition, the adjustment control unit (not shown) is configured so that one end side of the first arm 144 reaches from one swinging limit position to the other swinging limit position by forward rotation of the first gear 143 (for example, speed and time). , Acceleration, movement change contents, and the like, and on the contrary, the mode (for example, speed, time, acceleration, movement change) from the one rocking limit position to the other rocking limit position by reversing the first gear 143 Since the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the motor 141 are adjusted and controlled so that the content and the like are the same, the first movable accessory 71 can be driven regardless of whether the rotating shaft 141a of the motor 141 is driven forward or reverse. Not only the (small turtle) starts to swing in the same direction (for example, the neck-lowering direction) from the initial posture, but also the first gear 143 is rotated forward from the initial posture of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle). The first movable accessory 71 ( The swing of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) by reversing the first gear 143 from the initial posture of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) may be the same. it can.

  The second transmission mechanism 160 includes a second gear 163 that engages with the first gear 143, and a second eccentric pin portion at an eccentric portion of the second gear 163 in a second elongated hole portion 164a formed on one end side. 163a is inserted and engaged, and the second arm 164 is pivotally supported so that the other end pivots about the pivot shaft 72a of the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle), and the second arm 164 A second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) 72 is formed in a second elongated hole portion 164b formed in a predetermined portion between the one end side and the other end side of the arm 164 (in this embodiment, for example, a portion close to the base end side). ), The second eccentric protrusion 72b at the eccentric position is inserted and engaged therewith, and the transmission unit 161 has the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) in the initial posture. , When the first gear 143 rotates forward, the second gear 163 interlocks with the forward rotation of the first gear 143. By reversing, the distal end side of the second arm 164 is swung around the base end side as a rotation center, and the force from the first gear 143 is transmitted as a movement to lift the head of the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle). When the first gear 143 is reversed in the initial posture of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), the non-transmission unit 162 causes the second gear 163 to rotate forward in conjunction with the reversal of the first gear 143. The second eccentric pin portion 163a of the second gear 163 only moves within the range of the arc-shaped elongated hole of the second elongated hole portion 164a of the second arm 164, and the second eccentric pin portion 163a of the second gear 163 moves. Is a movement allowing portion that allows

  Therefore, when the first gear 143 rotates forward in the initial posture of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) Both are rocked. On the other hand, when the first gear 143 is reversed in the initial posture of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), the second gear 163 has the first gear 163 so that one end of the second arm 164 is not shaken. 2 The movement of the eccentric pin portion 163a is allowed, the force from the first transmission mechanism portion 142 is not transmitted to the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle), and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) is shaken. Without stopping, only the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is swung. Therefore, a mode in which the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) are swung, and the first movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) remains stopped. The mode of swinging only 71 (small turtles) can be realized with only a single motor, and the motors normally required for each movable object (two motors) can be completed with one motor. The number of parts can be reduced and space can be saved.

  In addition, by the drive control unit (not shown), in the initial posture of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle), when the rotation of the motor 141 starts (forward (clockwise) start or reverse (counterclockwise) start) Direction of the rotation starting force generated in the first gear 143 (tangential direction to the first eccentric pin portion 143a of the first gear 143) and the swinging direction of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) (first arm) Since the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is stopped at a position different from the swinging direction of 144), for example, a game ball collides with the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) Even if an external force is generated in the swinging direction of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) due to the swinging of the machine itself, the rotation start is generated in the first transmission mechanism 142. This is a direction different from the force direction, and the first gear 143 has a rotation start force direction (first It can be reduced the force of the tangential direction) of the first eccentric pin portion 143a of the A 143 occurs. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the movement of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) due to an external force. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the swing of the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) with a force other than the motor 141, and to reduce misperception of an advantageous variation display effect.

  In addition, the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) starts when the motor 141 starts rotating (forward (clockwise) rotation) in a state where the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is stopped in the initial posture. Rotation start force direction (tangential direction to the second eccentric pin portion 163a of the second gear 163) generated in the second gear 163 via the first gear 143 and the second Since the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) stops at a position where the swing direction of the movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) (the swing direction of the second arm 164) is different, for example, a game ball Even if an external force in the swinging direction of the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) occurs due to the collision with the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) or the gaming machine itself being shaken. , The direction of the rotation force generated by the external force direction in the second transmission mechanism 160 (the second gear 163). A direction different from the tangential direction to the second eccentric pin portion 163a), and a force in the rotation starting force direction (tangential direction to the second eccentric pin portion 163a of the second gear 163) is generated in the second transmission mechanism portion 160. Can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the movement of the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) due to an external force. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the swing of the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) with a force other than the motor 141, and it is possible to reduce false recognition of an advantageous variation display effect. In addition, since it is possible to reduce the movement of the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) by an external force, the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) that engages with the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) is also provided. Moving by external force can be reduced.

  In the case of super reach (first variation display effect), only the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) is swung, and the special reach (second variation), which has a higher expected value than the super reach for the player. In the case of a display effect), the first movable accessory 71 (small turtle) and the second movable accessory 72 (medium turtle) are oscillated, so that as the expected value of the variable display effect increases, The moving objects can be increased, and the player can be notified step by step using the movable objects that the expected value of the variable display effect is high.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may have another configuration that exhibits the same effect. For example, the present invention can be modified as follows.

Since the movable object is stopped, even if an external force is generated in the swinging direction of the movable object due to, for example, the game ball colliding with the movable object or the gaming machine itself being shaken, the external force direction Is a direction different from the direction of the rotation start force generated in the transmission means, and the generation of force in the direction of the rotation start force direction in the transmission means can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the movement of the movable object due to external force (force other than the driving means). Therefore, it is possible to reduce the swing of the movable object with a force other than the rotational power generation source, and it is possible to reduce misperception of an advantageous variation display effect.

(B2) In the gaming machine according to (B1),
The transmission means includes
A gear (rotating member) that is attached to the rotating shaft of the rotational power generation source and rotates around the rotating shaft;
An arm (oscillating member) whose one end engages with an eccentric portion of the eccentric portion of the gear and whose other end rotates about the rotation axis of the movable object;
A first engaging portion that engages a predetermined portion between one end side and the other end side of the arm and an eccentric portion of the eccentric portion of the movable object,

That is, the eccentric portion is formed at the end of the arc-shaped movement locus of the eccentric portion formed on the gear surface with the length from the rotation center of the movable object to the rotation axis of the rotational power generation source as a radius. positioned. Therefore, the direction of the rotation starting force generated at the eccentric part of the gear when the rotation of the rotational power generation source is different from the swinging direction of the movable object, so that the game ball collides with the movable object or the gaming machine itself Even if an external force in the swinging direction of the movable object is generated due to the swinging of the movable object, the direction of the external force is different from the rotation starting force direction generated in the eccentric part of the gear, and the eccentric part of the gear It is possible to reduce the occurrence of a force in the direction of the rotation starting force. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the movement of the movable object due to an external force.

  Further, the rotation of the gear by the power generation source can be converted into the swing of the movable object through the arm, and the movable object can be swung. Further, when the movable object is swung, it is only necessary to output either the forward drive signal or the reverse drive signal, and the swing control of the movable object (movable accessory) can be simplified.

  According to the invention described in (B3), the second movable object is the first movable means via the first transmission means at the start of rotation of the rotational power generation source in a state where the first movable object is stopped in the initial posture. 2 Since the rotation starting force direction generated in the transmission means is stopped at a position where the swinging direction of the second movable object is different, for example, the game ball collides with the second movable object or the gaming machine itself swings. Even if an external force in the swing direction of the second movable object is generated due to the movement of the second movable object, the direction of the external force is different from the direction of the rotation starting force generated in the second transmission means, and the second transmission means It is possible to reduce the occurrence of a force in the direction of the rotation starting force. Therefore, it can reduce that a 2nd movable object moves with the force from the outside. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the swing of the second movable object with a force other than the rotational power generation source, and it is possible to reduce misperception of an advantageous variation display effect. Moreover, since it can reduce that a 2nd movable body moves with the force from the outside, it can reduce that the 1st movable body engaged with a 2nd movable body also moves with the force from the outside.

(B4) In the gaming machine according to (B3),
The second transmission means includes
A second gear (interlocking member) engaged with the first gear which is the gear;
It is an arm different from the first arm which is the arm, and one end side is engaged with an eccentric portion of the eccentric portion of the second gear, and the other end side is centered on the rotation axis of the second movable object.

A gaming machine comprising: a non-transmission part that allows movement of the machine.

  According to the invention described in (B4), when the rotational power generation source rotates in one of the normal rotation and the reverse rotation in the initial posture of the first movable object, both the first movable object and the second movable object. Both are swung. On the other hand, when the first movable object is rotated in the opposite direction to the one in the initial posture, the eccentric portion of the second gear is allowed to move so that one end side of the second arm is not shaken. Then, the force from the first transmission means is not transmitted to the second movable object, and only the first movable object is swung while the second movable object is stopped without being shaken. Therefore, a mode in which the first movable body and the second movable body are swung and a mode in which only the first movable body is swung while the second movable body is stopped are realized only by a single power generation source. In addition, it is possible to use a single rotational power generation source for the normally required rotational power generation source (two drive sources) for each movable object, thereby reducing the number of parts and saving space. . Furthermore, in the initial posture of the first movable object, it is possible to reduce the swing of the first movable part and the second movable part with a force other than the rotational power generation source, and to reduce misperception of an advantageous variation display effect.

  According to the invention described in (B5), in the case of the first variable display effect, only the first movable object is swung, and the second expected value is higher for the player than the first variable display effect. In the case of the variable display effect, since the first movable object and the second movable object are swung, as the expected value of the variable display effect increases, the swingable movable object can be increased, It is possible to inform the player step by step using a movable object that the expected value of the display effect is high.

  In addition, since the first variable display effect having a low expected value has a higher number of occurrences than the second variable display effect having a high expected value, the second movable object is more likely to swing when the first movable object swings. More than when swinging. For this reason, the player is playing with the expectation that the second movable object will swing, and sensitively senses the start of swinging of the second movable object. In the case of this configuration, it is possible to reduce the movement of the second movable object due to external force (force other than the driving means) even though it is not the second variable display effect.
