In addition, as each sensor 72e, 72f, 72g, it is possible to use a transmission type sensor, a reflection type sensor, etc., for example.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the display device 30 can display various types of symbols in 3D (three-dimensional) in a variable manner (can display 3D images and the like), and the back side of the game board 50 assembled in the middle frame 22. It is arranged on the (back side). The game board 50 is configured such that the display device 30 is visible from the front surface of the pachinko machine 10. The display device 30 employs a liquid crystal display in which a liquid crystal panel capable of displaying various symbols is housed in a housing case. However, the display device 30 is not limited to this, and a drum type display device, a dot matrix type display device, or the like. It is possible to employ various display devices that can stop and change the various symbols.

  In addition to the display device 30, the control device 40 controls each unit such as the display unit 62, the lamp device 66, the speaker 67, the projector 68, the blower 69, and the 3D glasses device 70. It is arranged. The control device 40 performs various display effects processing and effects processing by light and sound in accordance with the display effects. The control device 40 employs a circuit having a CPU (central processing unit), a memory, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

  As shown in FIG. 9, a motor 72d, an upper sensor 72e, a middle sensor 72f, and a lower sensor 72g are electrically connected to the control device 40. Furthermore, an upper button 41 and a lower button 42 are electrically connected. Has been.

As shown in FIG. 2, the upper button 41 and the lower button 42 are provided around the projector 68 in the front frame 23, for example, on the left side.

  Here, when the upper button 41 is pressed by the player, the control device 40 controls the motor 72d to raise the 3D glasses 71. When the lower button 42 is pressed by the player, the control device 40 controls the motor 72d so as to lower the 3D glasses 71. For example, when the 3D glasses 71 are lowered, the motor 72d is rotated forward, and when the 3D glasses 71 is raised, the motor 72d is rotated reversely. Further, when the sensors 72e, 72f, and 72g are turned on, the control device 40 stops the rotation of the motor 72d and stops the 3D glasses 71 from rising or falling.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the game board 50 includes a flat transparent plate (game area forming member) in which a light-transmitting synthetic resin material such as acrylic or polycarbonate is formed in a substantially rectangular shape with a predetermined plate thickness. It functions as a game board unit. The transparent plate is not limited to a flat transparent plate, and may be, for example, a non-light-transmissive plate member such as a veneer material or a synthetic resin material with a decorative seal or the like attached to the surface.

  On the front surface (board surface) of the game board 50, an inner rail 50a and an outer rail 50b are provided in a semicircular arc shape (see FIG. 1). The inner rail 50a, together with the outer surface of a frame-shaped decorative body (not shown), defines a game area R1 in which a pachinko ball can flow down. The inner rail 50a and the outer rail 50b are formed so that a launch passage through which one pachinko ball can pass is defined on the left side of the board surface, and an open end (launching port) of the launch path is faced on the upper left side of the board surface. . Thereby, the pachinko balls launched from the ball striking device are guided by the inner rail 50a and the outer rail 50b, pass through the launch passage, and are launched from the open end of the launch passage to the upper part of the game area R1. The player adjusts the amount of rotation of the operation lever 65a, so that the pachinko ball flows down on the left side of the game area R1, and the so-called “right hit” on the right side of the game area R1. ".

  The game area R1 of the game board 50 is provided with a large number of game nails and rotation guide members (none of which are shown). These game nails and rotation guide members are provided so that the flow direction of the pachinko balls changes irregularly by contact with the pachinko balls. The rotation guide member (for example, a windmill) is rotatably provided so as to rotate with the contact of the pachinko ball flowing down the game area R1. In addition, an out port (not shown) that opens to the game region R1 is formed at the lowest position of the game region R1, and the pachinko ball that is launched into the game region R1 and enters the out port is outside the machine. It is configured to be discharged.

  Further, in the game area R1 of the game board 50, a start winning portion (not shown) capable of winning a pachinko ball flowing down the game area R1 is provided above the out port. When a pachinko ball wins at the start winning opening of the start winning portion, a predetermined number of pachinko balls are paid out to the upper ball receiving plate 63 and the lower ball receiving plate 64 as winning balls, and various effects such as a symbol variation game are performed on the display device 30. Be started.

(3D glasses movement processing and 3D glasses standby processing)
Next, 3D glasses movement processing and 3D glasses standby processing performed by the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. The process shown in FIG. 10 is a 3D glasses movement process at the time of a 3D display effect, and the process shown in FIG. In normal times, the height position of the 3D glasses 71 is constantly monitored, and basically the 3D glasses 71 are controlled to stand by at the upper position (predetermined storage position).

  Note that the 3D glasses movement process is executed in accordance with the 3D display effect, for example, before the start of the 3D display effect, or simultaneously with or after the start of the 3D display effect. This varies depending on the type of video used for the 3D display effect. Examples of the types of video include various types such as video in which all of the video is 3D video and video in which a part of the video is 3D video (for example, video that switches from 2D video to 3D video in the middle of the video). is there.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the 3D glasses movement process, in step S1, it is determined by the control device 40 whether or not the 3D glasses 71 are in the upper position (step S1). S1 NO). If it is determined that the 3D glasses 71 are in the upper position (YES in step S1), the 3D glasses 71 are automatically lowered by the moving mechanism 72 (automatic movement) in step S2.

  In step S3, it is determined whether or not there is an input by the upper button 41, that is, there is an upper button input. If it is determined that there is no up button input (NO in step S3), it is determined in step S4 whether there is an input by the down button 42, that is, whether there is a down button input. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is an up button input (YES in step S3), in step S5, the 3D glasses 71 are raised at double speed by the moving mechanism 72, and the process proceeds to step S7. If it is determined that there is a down button input (YES in step S4), in step S6, the 3D glasses 71 are lowered at the double speed by the moving mechanism 72, and the process proceeds to step S7. If it is determined that there is no down button input (NO in step S4), the process proceeds directly to step S7. Note that the above-mentioned double speed is a speed that is double the speed at which the 3D glasses 71 automatically move without any up button input or down button input.

  In step S7, it is determined whether or not the 3D glasses 71 are in the upper position. If it is determined that the 3D glasses 71 are not in the upper position (NO in step S7), it is determined in step S8 whether or not the 3D glasses 71 are in the middle position. If it is determined that the 3D glasses 71 are not in the middle position (NO in step S8), it is determined in step S9 whether the 3D glasses 71 are in the lower position. If it is determined that the 3D glasses 71 are in the upper position, the middle position, or the lower position (YES in step S7, S8, or S9), the movement of the 3D glasses 71 by the moving mechanism 72 is stopped, and the process returns to step S3. If it is determined that the 3D glasses 71 are not in the lower position (NO in step S9), the process returns to step S3.

  Such 3D glasses movement processing is executed according to the 3D display effect. Normally, since the 3D glasses 71 are stored in the storage chamber 61c of the extension unit 61 and are in the upper position, when the 3D glasses moving process is executed, the 3D glasses 71 are automatically lowered by the moving mechanism 72 (steps S1 and S1). (See S2). At this time, when the lower button 42 is pressed by the player, the lowering speed of the 3D glasses 71 is doubled during the pressing (see steps S4 and S6). When the lower button 42 is not pressed by the player, the descending speed of the 3D glasses 71 is not changed. The 3D glasses 71 continue to descend by the moving mechanism 72, reach the middle position, and stop (see steps S8 and S10). In this state, the player views the 3D video displayed by the display device 30 via the 3D glasses 71. At this time, the player presses the upper button 41 or the lower button 42, for example, when the height position of the 3D glasses 71 does not match itself and it is difficult to view the 3D image via the 3D glasses 71. The height position of the 3D glasses 71 is adjusted (see steps S3 to S6). The 3D glasses 71 are raised or lowered only while the upper button 41 or the lower button 42 is pressed. Thereby, the player can adjust the 3D glasses 71 to a desired height position. When the 3D display effect ends, the 3D glasses movement process at the time of the 3D display effect is stopped accordingly, and then the normal 3D glasses standby process is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the 3D glasses standby process, the control device 40 determines whether or not the 3D glasses 71 are in the upper position in step S <b> 11. If it is determined that the 3D glasses 71 are not in the upper position (NO in step S11), it is determined in step S12 whether there is a timer set. If it is determined that there is no timer set (NO in step S12), a timer (for example, a 10-second timer) is set in step S13, and the process proceeds to step S14. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a timer set (YES in step S12), the process proceeds to step S14.

  In step S14, the 3D glasses 71 are automatically raised by the moving mechanism 72 (automatic movement). In step S15, it is determined whether or not there is an input by the upper button 41, that is, an upper button input. If it is determined that there is an up button input (YES in step S15), in step S16, the 3D glasses 71 are raised at a double speed by the moving mechanism 72, and the process proceeds to step S17. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no up button input (NO in step S15), the process proceeds directly to step S17.

  In step S17, it is determined whether or not the timer has elapsed for 10 seconds. If it is determined that the timer has elapsed 10 seconds (YES in step S17), error processing is executed in step S18, the timer is reset in step S19, and the process returns to step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the timer has not passed 10 seconds (NO in step S17), the process returns to step S11. If it is determined in step S11 that the 3D glasses 71 are in the upper position (YES in step S11), the movement of the 3D glasses 71 by the moving mechanism 72 is stopped in step S20, and the process returns to step S11.

  Such 3D glasses standby processing is executed during normal times (at times other than during 3D display effects). That is, when the 3D glasses movement process is stopped in response to the end of the 3D display effect, the 3D glasses standby process is executed accordingly. The execution of the 3D glasses standby process is continued until the next 3D display effect. At the end of the 3D display effect, the 3D glasses 71 are not in the upper position, and the timer is not set. For this reason, when the 3D glasses standby process described above is executed, a timer is set (see step S13), and the 3D glasses 71 are automatically raised by the moving mechanism 72 (see step S14). At this time, when the upper button 41 is pressed by the player, the ascending speed of the 3D glasses 71 doubles during the pressing (see steps S15 and S16).
