  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a gaming machine 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the overall configuration of the gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

  The gaming machine 1 includes a game board 90. The game board 90 is formed of a substantially square plywood, and a guide rail 903 that constitutes a path for guiding a game ball launched by the operation of the launch device 908 (launch handle) to the game area 902 has a substantially arc shape. It is provided as follows.

  In the game area 902, a display device 91, a start winning opening 904, a big winning opening 906, an out opening 907, and the like are provided. The display area 911 of the display device 91 is an area that can be viewed through an opening 901 formed in the game board 90. Note that the shape and the like of the display region 911 can be changed as appropriate (the shape and size of the display region 911 can be changed by changing the shape and size of the opening 901 and the shape and size of the display device 91 itself). .

  In addition, the game area 902 is provided with a plurality of game nails as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls when the flow-down game balls collide. The game ball flowing down the game area 902 changes into various modes depending on the condition when it collides with the game nail.

  In such a gaming machine 1, a game ball is launched toward the game area 902 by operating the launching device 908. When a game ball flowing down the game area 902 wins a winning opening such as the start winning opening 904 or the big winning opening 906, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out by the payout device.

  The jackpot lottery is executed by a winning determination means provided on a control board (not shown) triggered by winning a game ball in the start winning opening 904 (a plurality of such starting winning openings may be provided). Specifically, when a game ball is won at the start winning opening 904, a numerical value (win / fail judgment information) is acquired from a random number source, and if the numerical value is the same as a predetermined jackpot value, the jackpot If they are different, they will be out of sync. In this embodiment, notification of the determination result is started in the order in which the numerical values are acquired (so-called fluctuation is started), but when a certain numerical value is acquired, it is acquired before that. When the determination result based on the numerical value is informed, the determination result based on the certain numerical value is stored in a storage unit provided on a control board (not shown) until the determination result is started. The maximum stored number (maximum number of holds) of a numerical value (hereinafter also simply referred to as “hold”) for which the notification of the determination of success / failure has not been started can be set as appropriate. The maximum number of reservations that can be stored by the storage unit in the present embodiment is four per kind of start winning prize opening 904. The fact that the numerical value (whether or not determination information) is stored in the storage means is displayed as a reserved symbol 80 (see FIG. 2). In this embodiment, it is determined whether or not the acquired numerical value is a numerical value that is a big hit at the time when the notification of the determination of correctness is started. The determination result itself may be stored (in this case, the determination result itself corresponds to the determination information). Moreover, the acquired numerical value is also used as a numerical value for determining the specific content of the effect for informing the determination result.

  Note that the description of the components of the gaming machine 1 that are not related to the present invention, such as the frame of the gaming machine 1, the lower plate and the upper plate for storing the game balls, is omitted. About these, the thing of the structure similar to a well-known game machine is applicable.

  In the present embodiment, in the same manner as a known gaming machine, the player is notified of the result of the success / failure determination by a combination of identification symbols 70 (see FIG. 2) displayed in the display area 911 of the display device 91. Specifically, an identification symbol group 70g including a plurality of types of identification symbols 70 (left identification symbol group 70gL, middle identification symbol group 70gC, right identification symbol group 70gR) starts to change, and finally each identification symbol group 70g. The one identifying symbol 70 is selected and stopped. In the case where the jackpot is won, the combination of the identification symbols 70 selected and stopped from each of the identification symbol groups 70g is a predetermined combination (for example, a set of three identical identification symbols 70). If it is out of place, it becomes a combination other than that (other than the combination that is a big hit). In each figure, only “numbers (characters)” constituting the identification symbol 70 are shown, but a symbol in which the numerals and characters are combined can be set as the identification symbol 70.

  Various effects are executed in order to improve the game preference. In the present embodiment, a movable effect is executed as a kind of the effect. The movable effect is an effect in which the first movable member 10 and the second movable member 20 (see FIGS. 1, 3 to 6 and the like) operate. Hereinafter, these movable members will be described.

  The first movable member 10 includes an original position (sometimes referred to as a first original position to distinguish from an original position with other movable members) and an effect position (first effect to distinguish from an effect position with other movable members). It is a member provided so that it can be displaced. In the present embodiment, two members (a left first movable member 10L and a right first movable member 10R) are provided as the first movable member 10. Although the left first movable member 10L and the right first movable member 10R are displaced in different ranges, in the following description, the original position of any first movable member 10 is the first original position, and any first The effect position of the movable member 10 is also referred to as the first effect position. On the front side of the left first movable member 10 </ b> L and the right first movable member 10 </ b> R, a decoration (which may include an electrical decoration or the like) that produces an effect is formed.

  The first movable member 10 is supported by the base member 40. The base member 40 is a frame member fixed so as not to move to the main body side of the gaming machine 1, and is entirely or mostly covered by the game board 90 (positioned behind the game board 90). It is a member that cannot be visually recognized. The base member 40 may be a combination of a plurality of members. The left first movable member 10 </ b> L and the right first movable member 10 </ b> R in the present embodiment are supported so that the end portions on one side thereof are rotatable with respect to the base member 40. The left first movable member 10 </ b> L is supported such that the right end of the left first movable member 10 is rotatable with respect to the base member 40 at the first original position. The right first movable member 10R has a left end supported in a first original position so as to be rotatable with respect to the base member 40 (see FIG. 3). When the power of a first drive source (not shown) for operating the first movable member 10 is transmitted, the left first movable member 10L is rotated clockwise (right side) upward to produce a first effect. Reach position. Similarly, the left first movable member 10L rotates counterclockwise (left side) upward and reaches the first effect position (see FIG. 4). That is, the left first movable member 10L and the right first movable member 10R are rotated in a direction approaching each other from the first original position and reach the first effect position. When the left first movable member 10L and the right first movable member 10R are located at the first original position (see FIG. 3), all or most of the left movable member 10L and the right first movable member 10R are placed on the game board 90 (the lower portion of the opening 901). It is in a covered state. When it is located at the first effect position (see FIG. 4), all or most of it is visible through the opening 901 of the game board 90 (a state located on the front side of the display area 911 (see FIG. 1)). It can be said that the displacement of the first movable member 10 includes a mode in which a region overlapping with the opening 901 (a region visually recognized through the opening 901) increases from the first original position toward the first effect position.

  Note that the power transmission mechanism that transmits the power of the first drive source to the left first movable member 10L and the right first movable member 10R may have any structure, and the description thereof is omitted. The power of one drive source may be transmitted to both the left first movable member 10L and the right first movable member 10R, or the drive source for displacing the left first movable member 10L and the right first movable member Another drive source for displacing the member 10R may be used. In the present embodiment, the left first movable member 10L and the right first movable member 10R located at the first original position start to operate substantially simultaneously, and both reach the first effect position almost simultaneously. .

  The second movable member 20 includes an original position (sometimes referred to as a second original position in order to distinguish it from an original position with other movable members) and an effect position (in order to distinguish it from the effect positions of other movable members). It is a member provided so that it can be displaced. On the front side of the second movable member 20, a decoration (which may include electrical decoration or the like) that produces a production effect is formed. The second movable member 20 in the present embodiment is a member that is supported so as to be displaceable with respect to the third movable member 30.

  The third movable member 30 includes an original position (sometimes referred to as a third original position to be distinguished from an original position with other movable members) and an effect position (a third effect to be distinguished from the effect positions of other movable members). It is a member provided so that it can be displaced. The third movable member 30 is supported by the base member 40. The third movable member 30 in the present embodiment is connected to the base member 40 via the power transmission member 31. One end of the power transmission member 31 is connected to the base member 40 so as to be rotatable (rotatable about a rotation axis), and the other end is connected to the third movable member 30. In the present embodiment, the third movable member 30 and the power transmission member 31 are in a relationship in which one is fixed with respect to the other so that the relative position of each other cannot be changed. On the front side of the third movable member 30, a decoration (which may include electrical decoration or the like) that produces a production effect is formed.

  The third movable member 30 is in a state where most of the third movable member 30 is covered with the game board 90 (the lower portion of the opening 901) at the third original position (see FIGS. 3 and 4). When the power of the third drive source (not shown) is transmitted to the power transmission member 31, the third movable member 30 is displaced about the rotation axis of the power transmission member 31 and reaches the third performance position. (See FIG. 5). When located at the third effect position, all or most of the third movable member 30 overlaps the opening 901 of the game board 90 (positioned on the front side of the display area 911). Since any power transmission mechanism from the third drive source to the power transmission member 31 may be used, the description thereof is omitted. The third movable member 30 may be anything that can be displaced (independently) separately from the first movable member 10.

  The second movable member 20 is movably connected to the third movable member 30. Although not shown, in this embodiment, one of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 is provided with a slide rail, and the other is provided with a slider that engages the slide rail, and the slider moves within the slide rail. Thus, the second movable member 20 is displaced linearly with respect to the third movable member 30. In the present embodiment, the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 are both substantially rectangular members, and the second movable member 20 is from the tip side of the third movable member 30 (opposite the rotation axis). It is displaced so as to change the protruding size (see FIGS. 5 and 6). That is, when the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 are regarded as one production unit, the entire unit constructed by both movable members by the displacement of the second movable member 20 relative to the third movable member 30. As if the size of the change. In the present embodiment, since the second movable member 20 is provided on the front side of the third movable member 30, the larger the amount of displacement of the second movable member 20 with respect to the third movable member 30, the greater the second movable member 30 has. The part exposed without being covered with the two movable members 20 becomes large. However, the context may be reversed. That is, the second movable member 20 is provided on the rear side of the third movable member 30, and the third movable member 20 in the second movable member 20 increases as the displacement amount of the second movable member 20 with respect to the third movable member 30 increases. It is good also as a setting which the part exposed without being covered with the member 30 becomes large.

  The second movable member 20 is displaced with respect to the third movable member 30 by the power of a second drive source (not shown). Any power transmission mechanism that transmits the power of the second drive source to the second movable member 20 may be used. In the present embodiment, a long hole (whether or not it is a through hole) is formed, a first transmission member 21 connected to the second movable member 20 and a protrusion that engages with the long hole are formed, It has a second transmission member 22 that is rotated by the power of the second drive source around a rotation axis that is set on the opposite side where the projection is formed, and the inside of the elongated hole is moved when the second movable member 20 is displaced. A power transmission mechanism is constructed such that the power of the second drive source is transmitted to the second movable member 20 regardless of the position of the second movable member 20 by sliding the protrusion. That is, the power of the second drive source is transmitted only to the second movable member 20 (not transmitted to the first movable member 10 and the third movable member 30), and the third movable member 30 of the second movable member 20 is transmitted. A power transmission mechanism that can change the relative position with respect to is constructed. It can be said that the second movable member 20 can be displaced separately (independently) from the first movable member 10.

  As will be described in detail later, the second movable member 20 has an original position (sometimes referred to as a second original position to distinguish it from the original position with other movable members) and an effect position (the effect position of other movable members). And sometimes referred to as a second performance position). Since the second movable member 20 is supported by the third movable member 30, the second movable member 20 also changes when the third movable member 30 is displaced. Moreover, it changes also by displacing with respect to the 3rd movable member 30 relatively. Regarding the relative position of the second movable member 20 with respect to the third movable member 30, the position when the second movable member 20 is not displaced with respect to the third movable member 30 is the relative original position, and the second drive source is If the position where the displacement amount of the second movable member 20 with respect to the third movable member 30 is the largest is the relative effect position, the second original position of the second movable member 20 is the third movable member 30 third. It is a position (position shown in FIGS. 3 and 4) in a state where the second movable member 20 is located at the original position and at the relative original position. The second effect position of the second movable member 20 is a position in the state where the third movable member 30 is in the third effect position and the second movable member 20 is located in the relative effect position (position shown in FIG. 6). It is.

  The second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 are located behind the first movable member 10. Since each movable member in the present embodiment is displaced along a plane direction (a direction along a plane orthogonal to the front-rear direction), the positional relationship in the front-rear direction regardless of the position of each movable member. Will not change. As described above, in the present embodiment, the second movable member 20 is provided on the front side of the third movable member 30. Therefore, the positional relationship of each movable member in the front-rear direction is such that the first movable member 10 (frontmost), the second movable member 20, and the third movable member 30 are from the front. As described above, the front-rear relationship between the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 may be reversed. That is, the first movable member 10 may be set to be positioned before the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the supporting member 35 connected to the 3rd movable member 30 is provided (refer FIGS. 3-6). The support member 35 has one end connected to the base member 40 and the other end connected to the third movable member 30. The support member 35 is not a member that is displaced by any driving source, but a member that is displaced in accordance with the displacement of the third movable member 30 when the third movable member 30 is displaced (the one that is driven by the third movable member 30). ). The connection point between the third movable member 30 and the support member 35 is set on the opposite side of the rotation axis of the third movable member 30. When the second movable member 20 is displaced with respect to the third movable member 30, there is a possibility that the tip side (the opposite side of the rotating shaft) of the third movable member 30 is shaken by the momentum of the second movable member 20. The support member 35 is for suppressing “blurring” of the third movable member 30. By the support member 35, “blurring” of the second movable member 20 supported by the third movable member 30 is also suppressed.

  In the movable effect in the present embodiment, each movable member operates in the following flow. The first drive source is driven from the state where each movable member is located at the original position (see FIG. 3), and the first movable member 10 is displaced from the first original position to the first effect position. At this time, the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 remain in their original positions (the second drive source and the third drive source are not driven) (see FIG. 4). That is, the displacement of the first movable member 10 toward the first effect position is started before the displacement of the second movable member 20 toward the second effect position and the displacement of the third movable member 30 toward the third effect position. The In the present embodiment, the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 remain in the original position until the first movable member 10 reaches the first effect position.

  After the first movable member 10 reaches the first effect position, the third drive source is driven to displace the third movable member 30 from the third original position toward the third effect position (see FIG. 5). At this time, the second drive source is not driven until the third movable member 30 reaches the third effect position. That is, the position of the second movable member 20 with respect to the third movable member 30 is not displaced. In other words, the third movable member 30 is positioned at the third effect position while the second movable member 20 is positioned at the relative original position. The second movable member 20 does not change in the relative position with respect to the third movable member 30, but changes its position with the displacement of the third movable member 30. If the position (absolute position) of the second movable member 20 when the third movable member 30 is located at the third production position and the second movable member 20 is located at the relative original position is the intermediate position. With the displacement of the third movable member 30 from the third original position to the third effect position, the second movable member 20 is displaced from the second original position to the middle position (hereinafter, the second movable member 20 and the second movable member 20 will be described in detail). The displacement of the three movable members 30 may be referred to as a first stage operation).

  At least a part of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 that are displaced in this way is covered by the first movable member 10 that has reached the first effect position in advance. Specifically, the first movable member 10 located at the first performance position is in a state where all or most of the first movable member 10 is visible through the opening 901 formed in the game board 90, the first movable member The visible part of the member 10 is located on the front side of the locus of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 that are displaced. In other words, if the first movable member 10 is not located at the first effect position (assuming that it is located at the first original position), the second movable member 20 and the third movable member displaced toward the midway position. Although at least a part of the third movable member 30 that is displaced toward the effect position is visible as it is through the opening 901 formed in the game board 90, the first movable member 10 is located at the first effect position. At least a part of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 to be displaced is covered and cannot be visually recognized. That is, since the visible range of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 is narrowed by the amount that the first movable member 10 is located at the first performance position, the two movable members that are displaced are less visible. Become.

  Even when the operation of the first stage is completed, that is, in a state where the second movable member 20 is in the middle position and the third movable member 30 is in the third effect position, the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 At least a part is in a state covered with the first movable member 10 located at the first performance position (see FIG. 5). That is, if the first effect member is not located at the first effect position (if it is located at the first original position), at least a part of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 that are visually recognized through the opening 901. Is in a state where it cannot be visually recognized by the player facing the front.

  After the first stage operation is completed, the second drive source is driven. Accordingly, the second movable member 20 is displaced with respect to the third movable member 30 while the third movable member 30 is located at the third effect position. That is, the second movable member 20 changes the relative position with respect to the third movable member 30 from the relative original position to the relative effect position (see FIG. 6). Thus, the second movable member 20 reaches the second effect position (hereinafter, the displacement of the second movable member 20 after the completion of the first stage operation is also referred to as the second stage operation). is there). In the present embodiment, the second stage operation is executed immediately after the first stage operation is completed. That is, the first-stage operation and the second-stage operation are continuous, and both operations can be regarded as a series of operations by the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30. It can also be considered as a series of operations in which the second movable member 20 is displaced from the second original position toward the second effect position. As described above, the change is such that the size of the second movable member 20 protruding from the tip side (the opposite side of the rotation shaft) of the third movable member 30 is changed. In relation to the first movable member 10, the first movable member 10 in the second movable member 20 is covered at the time when the second stage operation is completed, rather than when the first stage operation is completed. The exposed range will be increased without any change. In this embodiment, after the operation of the first stage is completed, the operation of the second stage is executed, so that the first movable member 10 (right first movable member 10R) located at the first effect position is viewed from the right side. A change occurs such that the range of the exposed second movable member 20 is increased. From the player's point of view, the movement of the second movable member 20 is difficult to see by being covered by the first movable member 10 during the first stage operation, and the second movable member 20 is greatly exposed by the second stage operation. It becomes an effect mode such as.

  Thus, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, during the movable performance, the displacement of the first movable member 10 toward the first performance position precedes the displacement of the second movable member 20 toward the second performance position. The second movable member 20 that is displaced is covered with the first movable member 10. The first movable member 10 and the second movable member 20 can be controlled independently of each other, and the displacement of both movable members can be started simultaneously. The displacement of the first movable member 10 is dared to start before the displacement of the second movable member 20. By doing in this way, it is suppressed that the 2nd movable member 20 in the middle of operation | movement becomes conspicuous. Moreover, in this embodiment, since the 3rd movable member 30 which goes to a 3rd production position will also be covered by the 1st movable member 10, it is suppressed that the 3rd movable member 30 in the middle of operation | movement becomes conspicuous. The Since it is difficult to increase the operating speed of the second movable member 20 and the third driving member or the cost is increased, it can be said that it is particularly effective in the situation where the operation of the second movable member 20 and the third driving member is slow.

  Particularly, in the present embodiment, after the first movable member 10 reaches the first effect position, the displacement (first stage operation) of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 is started, so that the first movable member 10 is displaced. The second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 are hardly noticeable.

  In the present embodiment, after the first movable member 10 reaches the first effect position, the second stage operation of the second movable member 20 is executed. By doing in this way, an interesting production form is constructed in which the second movable member 20, all or part of which is covered by the first movable member 10, is largely exposed by the operation of the second stage. Is done.

  Hereinafter, specific examples in which the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment is improved, modified, or embodied will be described. In addition, it is good also as a structure which applied combining the technical matter demonstrated using the following specific examples.

First Specific Example The second movable member 20 in the above embodiment is a member supported by the third movable member 30, that is, when the third movable member 30 is displaced, the second movable member 20 is a member that is displaced together therewith. Although described, it does not have to be such a member. In short, a configuration in which a member corresponding to the third movable member 30 is not provided may be employed. For example, the following configuration can be considered.

  The 2nd movable member 20 shall displace between the 2nd original position and the 2nd production position by not being accompanied with the displacement of other members but being itself displaced. And when performing the movable production | generation which operates both the 1st movable member 10 and the 2nd movable member 20, the displacement of the 1st movable member 10 which goes to a 1st production position moves to the 2nd production position. This is started before the displacement of (see FIG. 7). The first movable member 10 and the second movable member 20 are in a positional relationship such that at least a part of the second movable member 20 toward the second effect position is covered by the first movable member 10 that has been displaced first. To do. Even if it does in this way, it will be suppressed that the 2nd movable member 20 in the middle of operation | movement becomes conspicuous. Preferably, after the first movable member 10 reaches the first effect position, the operation of the second movable member 20 toward the second effect position is started (see FIGS. 7B and 7C). Good.

Second Specific Example In the above embodiment, it has been described that the first movable member 10 includes the left first movable member 10L and the right first movable member 10R. It is good also as a structure provided. Moreover, it is good also as a structure in which the 3 or more 1st movable member 10 was provided. Moreover, it is good also as a structure in which the several 2nd movable member 20 and the 3rd movable member 30 were provided.

○ Third specific example In the above embodiment, the first movable member 10 has reached the first effect position, and the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 are started to be displaced. The displacement of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 after the movable member 10 starts displacement toward the first performance position and before the first movable member 10 reaches the first performance position. (Operation of the first stage) may be started.

  Even if it is set in this way, at least a part of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 that have started to be displaced afterward is covered by the first movable member 10 that is directed to the first effect position where the displacement has been started first. Therefore, the conspicuousness of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 in the middle of the operation is suppressed. That is, the start of the displacement of the first movable member 10 and the start of the displacement of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 are simultaneous, or more than the start of the displacement of the first movable member 10. The case where the start of displacement of the first movable member 10 is earlier than the start of displacement of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 than the case where the start of displacement of the movable member 30 is earlier. However, since the first movable member 10 can be seen through the opening 901 formed in the game board 90 earlier, the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 in the middle of the operation are in the first state. The action (covering action) covered by the movable member 10 is enhanced. However, if the displacement of the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 is started after the first movable member 10 reaches the first effect position as in the above embodiment, the first movable member It can be said that the covering action by 10 is expressed more reliably.

○ Fourth Specific Example In the above embodiment, it has been described that the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 start displacement after the first movable member 10 starts displacement toward the first performance position. It is possible to change the early (before and after) of the start timing of the displacement. Regardless of the start timing of the displacement, the time when the first movable member 10 reaches the first effect position is the time when the first stage operation is finished (that is, the second movable member 20 is in the middle position). Any setting may be used that is before the time point when the three movable members 30 reach the third performance position.

  Thus, if the 1st movable member 10 reaches | attains the 1st production position previously (a state where the range which overlaps the opening 901 formed in the game board 90 is the largest), the 2nd movable member in the middle of operation | movement will be carried out. 20 and the third movable member 30 are covered with the first movable member 10 located at the first effect position, and the second movable member 20 and the third movable member 30 in the middle of the operation are not noticeable. Is done.

○ Fifth Specific Example The second movable member 20 starts to be displaced from the second original position toward the second effect position, and reaches the second effect position before reaching the second effect position. Then, the 1st movable member 10 returns to a 1st original position, and the production | presentation by the 2nd movable member 20 located in a 2nd production position shall be performed (refer FIG. 8). That is, an effect form as if the first movable member 10 and the second movable member 20 were finally combined is not constructed, but the second movable member 20 (the second movable member 20 as in the above embodiment). If it is set as the structure supported by the 3rd movable member 30, the 2nd movable member 20 and the 3rd movable member 30) will be set as the production aspect shown to a player. In this way, first the first movable member 10 is shown to the player, and then the second movable member 20 whose operation is made difficult to see by the first movable member 10 is shown. .

  Thus, what is finally shown to the player in the movable performance need not be both the first movable member 10 and the second movable member 20, and the first movable member 10 is the first original in the middle of the performance. It is good also as a structure which returns to a position.
