Are disposed, for example, at the lower left, respectively.

  The glass door 7 includes a resin door base 22 formed in a rectangular shape corresponding to the front side of the main body frame 6. In the door base 22, window holes 24a of a glass window 24 are formed corresponding to the front side of a game area 23 provided on the game board 16, and a plurality of (four in this example) are provided around the window holes 24a. The upper speaker 25, a light emitting board 27 provided with a large number of LEDs 26, and the like are arranged, and an upper decorative cover 28 that covers the upper speaker 25, the light emitting board 27, and the like substantially from the front side is mounted. Note that the front side of the upper decorative cover 28 is an example of a second region that can be viewed without passing through the glass plate of the glass window 24.

  A movable display device 29 is arranged, for example, on the upper end side of the upper decorative cover 28. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the movable display device 29 includes an upper display unit (second effect unit) 30 including a plurality of display units (here, first and second display units 31 and 32), A driving unit 33 for driving at least one of the plurality of display units 31 and 32 (here, the second display unit 32) constituting the upper display unit 30; and a movable unit formed at the upper end of the upper decorative cover 28. It is arranged in the display device accommodating part 34, and by changing the relative positional relationship between the first and second display means 31, 32, the display screen 31a of the first display means 31 and the display screen 31a of the second display means 32 are changed. Of the entire display area including the display screen 32a, the size of the effective display area 35 that can be viewed from the front side of the gaming machine main body 1 can be changed.

  The first and second display means 31 and 32 are, for example, liquid crystal display means having the same shape and the same size. A movable second display means 32 is arranged near the front side of the fixed first display means 31 in substantially parallel. I have. Of course, the first and second display means 31 and 32 may have different shapes or different sizes, or may use display means other than liquid crystal, such as an organic EL.

  The first display means 31 is arranged in a horizontally long state with the display screen 31a directed obliquely downward and forward, for example, and is fixed to the movable display device accommodating portion 34 and the like via the case body 36. The second display means 32 is arranged on a movable body (second effect means, second movable body) 37 arranged in front of the first display means 31.

  The movable body (frame movable body) 37 includes a back wall portion 37a arranged along the back side of the second display means 32 and a lower edge side of the second display means 32, as shown in FIGS. A lower edge support portion 37b disposed along the first edge portion and a pair of left and right side edge support portions 37c, 37c for supporting the side edge portion of the second display means 32 are integrally provided. The second display means 32 is supported so as to be movable with respect to the first display means 31 and is in the same horizontally long state as the first display means 31.

  On both left and right sides of the movable body 37, for example, a pair of elevating guides 38, 38 fixed to the upper decorative cover 28 are arranged in a forwardly inclined shape substantially parallel to the first display means 31. The movable body 37 can be moved in parallel in the vertical direction with respect to the first display means 31 by, for example, sliding up and down support members 39 provided on both left and right ends thereof along the up and down guides 38. .

  The movable body 37 is moved between a lower limit position (first position) shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 and an upper limit position (second position) shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 by, for example, driving a pair of left and right driving units 33 and 33. It is possible to move between them. Note that the lower limit position of the movable body 37 is the origin position. The driving means 33 is constituted by, for example, a stepping motor, and its driving force is transmitted to, for example, the elevating supports 39, 39 via the driving transmission means 40, 40. The drive transmission means 40 includes a drive pulley 41 disposed near and adjacent to one end of the lift guide 38, a driven pulley 42 disposed near and corresponding to the other end of the lift guide 38, An endless belt 43 wound around a pulley 41 and a driven pulley 42 and having an elevating support 39 fixed at a predetermined location on the periphery thereof; for example, a driving gear 44 mounted on a driving shaft of the driving means 33. Are engaged with the gear on the drive pulley 41 side.

  In addition, the movable display device 29 includes origin position detecting means 45 capable of detecting that the movable body 37 is at the lower limit position (origin position), and upper limit position detecting means 46 capable of detecting that the movable body 37 is also located at the upper limit position. I have. When the movable body 37 is at the lower limit position, the second display means 32 completely overlaps the front side of the first display means 31, and when the movable body 37 is at the upper limit position, most of the second display means 32 is the first display means. The display unit 31 is retracted from the front side. Therefore, the width of the effective display area 35 of the upper display means 30 is narrowest when the movable body 37 is at the lower limit position (origin position), and is widest when it is at the upper limit position. That is, when the movable body 37 is at the lower limit position, the entire first display screen 31a of the first display means 31 is hidden behind the second display means 32 as shown in FIGS. Only the display screen 32a of the means 32 becomes the effective display area 35 (hereinafter, this state is referred to as "one screen"). On the other hand, when the movable body 37 is at the upper limit position, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the display screen 32a of the second display means 32 and the display screen 31a of the first display means 31 are substantially entirely on the front side. Thus, the effective display area 35 (hereinafter, referred to as the effective display area 35) is obtained by combining the substantially entire display screen 31 a of the first display means 31 and the entire display screen 32 a of the second display means 32. The state is referred to as “two screens”). Of course, the movable body 37 may stop at an arbitrary position between the lower limit position and the upper limit position (for example, a state such as “1.5 screens”).

  In addition, the movable body 37 includes a light emitting decoration portion 47 along the outer peripheral side of the second display means 32, for example, along the upper edge side. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the light-emitting decorative portion 47 is formed in, for example, a horizontally long box shape with the back side opened, and the rear opening is substantially closed by the back wall portion 37 a of the movable body 37. It is detachably fixed to the front side of the wall 37a. A light-emitting substrate 48 is arranged in the light-emitting decoration 47, and at least the front surface of the light-emitting decoration 47 transmits light from an LED (second effect means, frame movable light emitter) 48a provided on the light-emitting substrate 48. Light emitting lens portion 47a. The LED 48a can be turned on in various lighting patterns according to the game state. Arbitrary decoration (not shown) made of characters, patterns, irregularities, and the like is applied to the light emitting lens portion 47a. In addition, the light-emitting decoration part 47 protrudes largely forward from the second display means 32.

  In addition, the light emitting decoration portion 47 has an electrode (detection portion) of the touch sensor (contact detection means) 51 (FIG. 12) on at least a part of the outer peripheral surface, for example, the upper surface 47b and the lower surface 47c corresponding to the operation direction of the movable body 37. ) 52a and 52b are provided so that contact by a player or the like can be detected. The electrodes 52a and 52b are formed by performing a plating process on the luminous decorative portion 47. The electrodes 52a provided on the light-emitting decorative portion upper surface 47b are arranged on substantially the entire surface of the light-emitting decorative portion upper surface 47b (except for a range of a predetermined width along the outer periphery) as shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 8, and 9. I have. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 8, and 9, the electrode 52b provided on the light-emitting decoration lower surface 47c is not the whole surface of the light-emitting decoration lower surface 47c, but the front part to which the player may touch. Side (excluding a range of a predetermined width along the outer periphery) except for a conductive connection portion 50 of a predetermined width arranged at a predetermined position (for example, the center) in the width direction to secure conduction to the touch sensor 51. , Are not provided on the rear side where the upper surface of the second display means 32 approaches or abuts.

  As described above, by masking and not providing a plated portion (electrode) in a range where the player is unlikely to touch (or extremely small), the capacitance of the electrode can be reduced, and The cost can be reduced by reducing the sensitivity of the sensor 51. In addition, there is an advantage that the influence of noise is reduced by providing an electrode while avoiding a portion close to the second display means 32 as much as possible.

  In addition, a rectangular transparent plate 53 is arranged on the front side of the upper display means 30 so as to correspond to the front side of the second display means 32 when the movable body 37 is at the lower limit position. The transparent plate 53 is formed of acrylic, polycarbonate, or the like, and is disposed substantially in parallel with the first and second display means 31 and 32. For example, both left and right edges and a lower edge are formed in the movable display device accommodating portion. Fixed. When the movable body 37 is at the lower limit position, the player can view the display screen 32a of the second display means 32 through the transparent plate 53, but when the movable body 37 is at the upper limit position, as shown in FIG. In addition, since the second display means 32 is substantially entirely removed from the rear side of the transparent plate 53, the player can mainly visually recognize the display screen 31a of the first display means 31 via the transparent plate 53.

  Note that, for example, the upper edge portion (second portion) 53a of the transparent plate 53 is opposed to the lower surface (first portion) 47c of the light emitting decoration portion 47, and when the movable body 37 is at the lower limit position (FIG. 5), it is movable. The lower surface 47c of the light emitting decoration portion on the body 37 side and the upper edge portion 53a of the transparent plate on the movable display device accommodating portion 34 side are vertically close (or contact). Since the electrode 52b is disposed on the lower surface 47c of the light-emitting decoration portion, when the movable body 37 is at the lower limit position (FIG. 5), the electrode 52b approaches (or abuts) the upper edge 53a of the transparent plate. As shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and the like, the width of the front and rear and left and right electrodes 52b is the same as or larger than the upper edge 53a of the transparent plate. Thus, for example, when the movable body 37 descends toward the origin position while the player is touching the upper edge side of the transparent plate 53, it is possible to reliably detect the electrode 52b with the finger of the player. It is possible.

  In addition, a movable body operation button 55 that can be operated by a player is provided on the front side of the glass door 7 as shown in FIG. The movable body operation button 55 is used for inputting an instruction regarding the operation of the movable body 37, and is disposed, for example, in the vicinity of the movable display device 29 on the upper decorative cover 28, and for example, the movable body 37 is operated in accordance with a game state. (Hereinafter referred to as a "game position"), the movable body 37 is moved to a lower limit position, which is the origin position, to stand by, and the movable body 37 is moved by the "origin wait instruction". It is possible to input a "game position return instruction" for returning the movable body 37 to the game position when the standby state is at the lower limit position which is the origin position (see FIG. 13).

  In the present embodiment, it is automatically determined whether the instruction is the “origin standby instruction” or the “gaming position return instruction” according to the operation timing of the movable body operation button 55. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, when the movable body operation button 55 is operated when the movable body 37 is at the game position (excluding the origin position), the instruction input is determined to be the “origin standby instruction”, If the movable body operation button 55 is operated while the movable body 37 is waiting at the lower limit position, which is the origin position, by the “origin standby instruction”, the instruction input is determined to be a “gaming position return instruction”. If the movable body operation button 55 is operated at a timing other than those described above and during the operation restriction period of the movable body 37, the operation is invalidated. This operation restriction period will be described later.

  The movable body operation button 55 has a built-in LED 56. The LED 56 is an example of operation information notifying means for notifying various kinds of information relating to the movable body operation button 55. For example, “lit” indicates that the operation of the movable body operation button 55 is valid, and “light off” indicates that the movable body operation button 55 is operated. It shows that the operation of the button 55 is invalid. Of course, the lighting mode may be different between the period during which the “home position standby instruction” is valid and the period during which the “game position return instruction” is valid.

  The operation information notifying means may be provided separately from the movable body operation button 55, for example, in the vicinity of the movable body operation button 55. Further, the operation information notifying means is not limited to a light emitting means such as an LED, but may be a liquid crystal display means or the like. Further, the second display means 32 or a central display means 100 described later may be used as the operation information notifying means. Further, the instruction input means for inputting an instruction relating to the operation of the movable body 37 is not limited to a push button such as the movable body operation button 55 as long as it can be operated by the player.

  On the lower front side of the door base 22, as shown in FIG. 1, an upper plate 62 for storing the game balls paid out from the payout means 61 on the rear side of the main body frame 6 and supplying the game balls to the firing means 17, A lower plate 63 for storing surplus spheres and the like when the plate 62 is full, a firing handle 64 for operating the firing means 17 and the like are disposed, and a lower cover for substantially covering the upper plate 62 and the lower plate 63 from the front side. The decorative cover 65 is attached. The lower decorative cover 65 is formed, for example, in a forwardly bulging shape, and, for example, on the upper side thereof, operating means such as a cross operating means 66 and an effect button 67 which can be pressed by a player are provided. The cross operation unit 66 includes, for example, four operation units of an up key, a down key, a left key, and a right key.

Under the condition that one or more pieces of ordinary random number information are stored in 143 (the number of ordinary reservations is one or more), the ordinary symbol display means 91 starts changing the ordinary symbol, and the ordinary symbol processing means 144 selects the ordinary symbol. On the basis of the elapse of the fluctuation time, the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol is stopped at the stop symbol selected by the ordinary symbol processing means 144.

  The ordinary profit state generating means 146 performs the second special symbol when the stopped symbol after the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol display means 91 becomes the winning mode based on the result of the hit determination by the ordinary symbol processing means 144. The starting means 97 generates a normal profit state that changes to an open state in accordance with, for example, one of a plurality of types of opening and closing patterns. In the present embodiment, a normal opening / closing pattern (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 opening) and an extended opening / closing pattern (for example, 2 seconds × 3 times opening) set so that the opening time is longer than this normal opening / closing pattern. The following two types of opening / closing patterns are set. In the case of the opening extension state described later (the opening extension is provided), the extended opening / closing pattern is selected, and in the other cases (no opening extension), the normal opening / closing pattern is selected. It has become so.

  The special random number creation processing means 147 includes a jackpot determination random number used for determining a jackpot / missing, a symbol determination random number used for selecting a stop symbol after a change of a special symbol, a variation pattern random number used for selecting a variation pattern, and other predetermined random numbers. It is configured to perform a special random number generation process for repeatedly generating random numbers.

  The special starting opening check processing means 148 performs processing based on winning of a game ball to the first and second special symbol starting means 96, 97, and is one of the first and second special symbol starting means 96, 97. The first and second special random number information such as the jackpot determination random number value and the jackpot symbol random number value created by the special random number creation processing means 147 are obtained based on the winning of the game ball. The special random number information is stored in the special random number storage unit 149 up to a predetermined upper limit reserved number (for example, four), and the first and second reserved numbers specifying the increased first and second special reserved numbers and the like. The increase command is transmitted to the effect control board 134 via the control command transmitting means 155.

  Further, the special starting port check processing means 148 includes a prefetch determination means 148a. The pre-reading determination means 148a is configured to, for example, obtain the first and second special random number information obtained when a game ball is won by the first and second special symbol starting means 96 and 97. Pre-read determination is made as to whether or not the jackpot determination random number value included in the special random number information matches the first and second jackpot determination values. The result of the pre-reading determination is transmitted to the effect control board 134 or the like by a hold increase command transmitted based on a game ball winning one of the first and second special symbol starting means 96 and 97, for example.

  The special symbol processing means 150 is for performing a process relating to the variable display of the first and second special symbols. When the first and second special symbol display means 93 and 94 are in a state in which the variable display is possible, the second special symbol processing means 150 is used. If the number of special reservations is 1 or more, the first jackpot determination random number value is taken out of the queue of the second special random number information from the queue of the second special random number information, and if only the first number of special reservations is 1 or more, A jackpot determination function that determines whether the jackpot is determined according to whether the jackpot determination random number value matches a predetermined jackpot determination value. The first and second special random number information is determined based on the jackpot determination result. A special stop symbol selection function for selecting a stop symbol after the change of the first and second special symbols based on the included jackpot random number value and the like, and a variation pattern of the first and second special symbols according to the result of the jackpot determination Multiple And a change pattern selection function for selecting from among classes.

  Also, at the start of the change of the first and second special symbols, a first and second hold decrease command for designating the reduced first and second special reserve numbers and the like, a change pattern command for designating the change pattern of the effect symbol 130, A symbol designating command or the like for designating a stop symbol of the first and second special symbols is transmitted to the effect control board 134 via the control command transmitting means 155. On the other hand, when the first and second special symbols are both in a state of 0 and the first and second special symbols are changed and the first and second special symbols are in a change waiting state, the customer waits. The demonstration command is transmitted to the effect control board 134 via the control command transmission means 155.

  The special symbol display control means 151 controls the display of the first and second special symbol display means 93 and 94, and based on the special symbol processing by the special symbol processing means 150, the first special symbol display means 93 or the first special symbol display means 93. The first and second special symbols are started to change by the second special symbol display means 94, and the first and second special symbols are selected by the selected stop symbol based on the lapse of the fluctuation time corresponding to the selected fluctuation pattern. The change of the special symbol is stopped. At the end of the fluctuation of the first and second special symbols, a fluctuation stop command for instructing the fluctuation of the effect symbol 130 is transmitted to the effect control board 134 via the control command transmitting means 155.

  The jackpot game execution means 152 executes a jackpot game advantageous to the player. The special symbol processing means 150 obtains a jackpot determination result, and based on the result, the stop symbol after the first and second special symbols change. Is configured to execute a big hit game in which the big win means 98 is opened according to a predetermined opening pattern when the first and second big hit modes are set.

  The special game state generating means 153 generates a special game state advantageous to the player after the end of the big hit game. The special game state is a combination of the high probability state and the extended open state, for example, a "latent state" in which the high probability state occurs and the open extended state does not occur, and the "probable state" in which both the high probability state and the extended open state occur. There are three types of "state" and "time saving state" in which a high probability state does not occur and an extended open state occurs. Note that a state in which neither the high probability state nor the extended open state occurs is the normal game state.

  During the high-probability state, by increasing the number of jackpot determination values compared to the other low-probability states, the probability that the first and second special symbols are in the jackpot mode is set to a high probability. .

  Also, during the open extension state, the opening / closing pattern of the second special symbol starting means 97 is switched from the normal opening / closing pattern (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 opening) to the extended opening / closing pattern (for example, 2 seconds × 3 opening). In addition, with respect to the first and second special symbols, the variation time of the first and second special symbol display means 93 and 94 is switched to the shortened variation time, which is shorter than the normal variation time, respectively. Can be switched from a normal probability (for example, 1/10) to a high probability (for example, 1 / 1.3), and the fluctuation time can be switched from a normal fluctuation time (for example, 27 seconds) to a shortened fluctuation time (for example, 2.7 seconds). It has become.

  In the present embodiment, a probable change state is generated after the end of the jackpot game. For example, a drop lottery is performed to determine whether or not to end the probable change state for each subsequent change in the first and second special symbols. If a win occurs or a win is made by a drop lottery, the probable change state is ended.

  The prize processing means 154 performs processing relating to prize ball payout by prize of a game ball to each prize means, that is, the first and second special symbol starting means 96, 97, the large prize means 98, and the normal prize means 99. For example, the number of winnings for each of the winning means 96 to 99 is counted based on the detection signal from the game ball detecting means 96a to 99a, and the count value of the winning number for each winning means and the value set for each winning means are set. Based on the number of winning balls, for example, a payout number designation command is transmitted to the payout control board 136 via the control command transmitting means 155 for each winning.

  The control command transmitting means 155 is for transmitting various control commands to a sub-control board such as the effect control board 134 to give a control command.

  The effect control board 134 includes a light emission control unit 161, a sound output control unit 162, a movable body control unit 163, an image display control unit 164, and the like including a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM.

  The light emission control means 161 controls light emission of various light emitters, for example, the LED 48a on the movable body 37, the LED 70 on the effect button 67, the LED 26 on the glass door 7, the LEDs 105 on the movable bodies 101a to 104a, and the like. In a predetermined light emission pattern according to a predetermined effect scenario. The audio output control means 162 controls audio output from the speakers 18 and 25, and outputs predetermined BGM, sound effects, and the like according to a predetermined effect scenario.

  The movable body control means 163 performs drive control of various movable bodies, and includes a game operation execution means 163a, an arbitrary operation execution means 163b, an operation restriction means 163c, a danger avoidance means 163d, and the like.

  The game operation execution means 163a operates the movable body in accordance with the game state, for example, the driving means 33 of the movable body 37, the button driving means 69 of the effect button 67, the vibration means 68 of the effect button 67, and the movable bodies 101a to 101d. The driving means 101d, 101e, 102d, 102e, 103d, 104c, etc. of the 104a are operated in a predetermined operation pattern according to a predetermined effect scenario.

  The arbitrary operation execution means 163b operates the movable body based on an instruction input from the outside, and as shown in FIG. 13, the instruction input by operating the movable body operation button 55 is "origin standby instruction" (predetermined operation input). ), The movable body 37 is moved to the lower limit position, which is the origin position, to stand by (hereinafter, referred to as “frame movable body standby state”). The driving unit 33 is controlled so as to move to a position related to the control of the body control unit 163).

  The arbitrary operation execution means 163b determines whether the instruction input by operating the movable body operation button 55 is the "origin standby instruction" or the "game position return instruction" in accordance with the operation timing of the movable body operation button 55. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, when the movable body operation button 55 is operated while the movable body 37 is at the game position (excluding the case where the movable body 37 is at the home position), the instruction input is “home standby instruction”. If it is determined that the movable body operation button 55 is operated during the frame movable body standby state (when the movable body 37 is at the origin position (except for the gaming position)), the instruction input is “game position” If the return instruction is determined and the movable body operation button 55 is operated at a timing other than those, the operation is invalidated. Also, during the operation valid period of the movable body operation button 55, the LED 56 of the movable body operation button 55 is turned on, for example, to notify the player that the operation of the movable body operation button 55 is valid. ing.

  Note that the frame movable body standby state is released by inputting the “game position return instruction” by the movable body operation button 55, but the predetermined state is maintained even if there is no “game position return instruction” by the movable body operation button 55. It is released at the timing, for example, when the next new effect is started.

  The operation restricting means 163c restricts the operation of the movable body 37 during a predetermined operation restriction period. As shown in FIG. 14, the operation restriction period of the present embodiment includes a game operation restriction period and an optional operation restriction period. During the game operation restriction period, the game operation of the movable body 37 by the game operation execution means 163a and the arbitrary operation of the movable body 37 by the arbitrary operation execution means 163b are restricted, but during the arbitrary operation restriction period, the arbitrary operation is executed. Only the arbitrary operation of the movable body 37 by the means 163b is restricted, and the game operation of the movable body 37 by the game operation execution means 163a is not restricted.

  The game operation restriction period is a period from when the game operation restriction start condition is satisfied to when the game operation restriction end condition is satisfied. In the example illustrated in FIG. 14, the game operation restriction start condition is satisfied by occurrence of a specific error such as a door opening error, a character object error, or a power interruption, and the game operation restriction end condition is, for example, the specific error being eliminated. Be satisfied by During the game operation restriction period, that is, during the specific error, not only the game operation by the movable body 37 but also any operation based on the player's operation is not executed. Note that during the game operation restriction period, the movable body 37 is held at the position at the time when the game operation restriction start condition is satisfied. For example, the movable body 37 is held at the origin position after returning to the origin position. Is also good.

  On the other hand, the arbitrary operation restriction period is a period from when the arbitrary operation restriction start condition is satisfied to when the arbitrary operation restriction end condition is satisfied. In the example shown in FIG. 14, the arbitrary operation restriction start condition is satisfied by, for example, operating the movable body 37 a predetermined number of times (here, two reciprocations) based on the operation of the movable body operation button 55, and the arbitrary operation restriction end condition is Is satisfied, for example, when a predetermined time (here, 60 seconds) elapses. That is, when the movable body 37 makes a total of two reciprocations by the player operating the movable body operation button 55, the arbitrary operation restriction period is started at that time, and the arbitrary operation restriction period ends after 60 seconds have elapsed. Until the player operates the movable body operation button 55, the arbitrary operation of the movable body 37 based on the operation is not started.

  Note that the movable body 37 is held at the lower limit position, for example, the origin position during the arbitrary operation restriction period, but even during the arbitrary operation restriction period, the game operation of the movable body 37 by the game operation execution means 163a is restricted. Not done. In addition, the number of operations (here, two reciprocations) of the movable body 37 that constitutes the arbitrary operation restriction start condition is, for example, an accumulated number of operations. The operation restriction period starts.

  The danger avoiding means 163d executes a danger avoiding process for restricting the operation of the movable body 37. When the touch sensor 51 detects a contact during the operation of the movable body 37, the danger avoidance means 163d stops the movable body 37, for example. The processing is executed. The electrodes (detection portions) 52a and 52b of the touch sensor (contact detection means) 51 are provided on the upper surface 47b and the lower surface (first portion) 47c of the light emitting decoration portion 47 of the movable body 37 (FIGS. 5 and 5). 6, FIG. 8, FIG. 9, etc.).

  In the present embodiment, a first danger avoidance process and a second danger avoidance process are provided as danger avoidance processes. For example, during a rising operation according to the operation state of the movable body 37 when the touch sensor 51 detects a contact. The first danger avoidance process is executed if the first danger avoidance process is performed (during the first operation toward the second position), and the second danger avoidance process is executed if the descent operation is performed (the second operation toward the first position). (See the execution condition in FIG. 15). The contact with the electrode 52a on the upper surface 47b and the contact with the electrode 52b on the lower surface 47c are configured to be distinguishable, and when the contact is detected on the electrode 52a side, the first danger avoidance processing is performed. When the contact is detected in step (2), the second danger avoidance process may be executed.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the first danger avoidance process, the movable body 37 is stopped immediately, whereas in the second danger avoidance process, the movable body 37 is moved in the opposite direction to the previous one (the traveling direction during operation). For example, a predetermined step (predetermined amount) operation is performed in the direction and the operation is stopped. When the touch sensor 51 detects a contact during the lowering operation of the movable body 37 (see FIG. 16B), the lower surface (first portion) 47c of the light emitting decoration portion and the upper edge portion (second portion) 53a of the transparent plate are connected. Since there is a possibility that a finger or the like may be caught in the middle, in the second danger avoidance process executed in that case, not only the movable body 37 is stopped but also in the opposite direction (upward direction) before that. The pinching can be released by operating. On the other hand, when the touch sensor 51 detects a contact during the ascent operation of the movable body 37 (see FIG. 16A), the possibility that a finger or the like is pinched is low, and in this case, the movable body 37 is moved in the reverse direction. Since there is a possibility that a danger such as pinching may occur on the contrary, the first danger avoiding process executed in that case immediately stops the movable body 37 without performing a reverse operation or the like. .

  Further, the stop state of the movable body 37 due to the danger avoidance processing is released when a predetermined end condition is satisfied, and the movable body 37 becomes operable. The termination condition includes that the touch sensor 51 switches to non-detection, but other conditions are arbitrary. For example, in the examples of FIGS. 15 and 16, the termination condition is satisfied when a predetermined time elapses after the touch sensor 51 is switched to non-detection. In this case, the predetermined time may be set to 0, and the operation of the movable body 37 may be resumed when the touch sensor 51 switches to non-detection. Further, after the touch sensor 51 is switched to non-detection, the end condition may be satisfied by an operation instruction of the movable body 37 by operating the movable body operation button 55, for example.

  In this embodiment, for the sake of convenience, the operation restriction of the movable body 37 by the danger avoidance processing is not included in the operation restriction by the operation restriction means 163c, but the operation restriction of the movable body 37 by the danger avoidance processing is substantially equivalent to the operation. It is included in the game operation restriction by the restriction means 163c. In this case, the game operation restriction start condition in the first danger avoidance process is satisfied by contact detection during the ascent operation, and the game operation restriction end condition in the first danger avoidance process is, for example, after the touch sensor 51 is switched to non-detection. Are satisfied when a predetermined time elapses. Further, the game operation restriction start condition in the second danger avoidance process is satisfied by ending the reverse operation after the contact is detected during the descending operation. The game operation restriction end condition in the second danger avoidance process is, for example, a touch sensor. The condition is satisfied when a predetermined time elapses after the switch 51 is switched to non-detection.

  The image display control unit 164 controls image display on the image display unit, and includes a central display control unit 164a, an upper display control unit 164b, and the like. The central display control means 164a controls image display on the central display means 100, and causes the central display means 100 to display various effect images according to a predetermined effect scenario. The upper display control means 164b controls image display on the upper display means 30, and causes the upper display means 30 to display various effect images according to a predetermined effect scenario.

  In the case of the present embodiment, the effective display area 35 of the upper display means 30 can be changed between one screen and two screens by operating the movable body 37 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The image displayed on the means 30 is, for example, vertically long when the effective display area 35 has two screens and horizontally long when the effective display area 35 is one screen. It is formed corresponding to the operation position, that is, the state of the effective display area 35.

  FIG. 17 shows an example of an effect produced by the upper display means 30 during the variable display of the effect symbol 130 by the central display means 100. In the example of FIG. 17, when the effect symbol 130 is in the normal fluctuation before reaching, the movable body 37 is held at the upper limit position as shown in FIG. Then, the effect image corresponding to the effective display area 35 of the two screens is displayed. For example, at the time of the N-reach effect, the effective display area 35 is either one screen or two screens as shown in FIGS. 17 (b1) and (b2). ) And (c2), the effective display area 35 is either one screen or two screens. In addition, during the SP reach effect, the effective display area 35 is one screen as shown in FIGS. 17 (d1) and (d2). And two screens, and an effect image corresponding to the size of each effective display area 35 is displayed. Of course, FIG. 17 is an example, and the effect image may be displayed in a state where the effective display area 35 is, for example, 1.5 screens other than one screen and two screens.

  In the case of the present embodiment, for example, by operating the movable body operation button 55 by the player as described above, for example, the movable body 37 at the upper limit position (game position) can be moved to the origin position and made to wait. ing. Further, when any external force is applied to the movable body 37, the movable body 37 may be shifted downward or upward from its original position. In such a case, if the display image is output to the upper display means 30 as it is, there is a problem that the entire image cannot be displayed correctly, for example, a part of the image becomes invisible to the player.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the movable body 37 is located at a position different from the original position, processing such as reduction, enlargement, deformation, and movement of the image is performed so as to correspond to the effective display area 35 at that time. Then, it is possible to output to the upper display means 30.

  FIG. 18 (a1) shows a state in which the movable body 37 is waiting at the origin position by the player performing the "origin standby instruction" using the movable body operation button 55 when the movable body 37 is at the upper limit position ( Frame movable body standby state). In this case, the image displayed on the upper display means 30 corresponds to the effective display area 35 of two screens according to the original position (upper limit position) of the movable body 37 at that time, as shown in FIG. However, since the actual effective display area 35 has the size of one screen, the portion displayed on the first display means 31 (the lower half of the image) is hidden if displayed as it is. Therefore, in this case, as shown in FIG. 18B, the image is reduced to, for example, 1/2 so that the entire image fits in the effective display area 35 of this one screen, and the entire image is stored in the second display means 32. And output it to the upper display means 30. In the present embodiment, since the width of the effective display area 35 does not change even if the movable body 37 moves, the image is not reduced overall but reduced only in the vertical direction without changing the vertical direction. You may.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 19 (a1), when the movable body 37 rises from its original position and the effective display area 35 becomes wider than it should be, the entire image is enlarged and the effective display area 35 becomes Since it does not fit, for example, as shown in FIG. 19B, the image can be moved to the center in the vertical direction of the effective display area 35, or can be displayed enlarged in the vertical direction without changing the horizontal direction.

  Hereinafter, the operation of each of the effect means at the end of the change will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 20 to 26 for seven types of the jackpot change patterns PA1 to PA5, PA1a, and PA5a among the many change patterns related to the effect symbol 130. I do. In each of the seven types of jackpot variation patterns PA1 to PA5, PA1a, and PA5a, a button effect that prompts the player to operate the effect button 67 is executed.

  In the case of the jackpot fluctuation pattern PA1, as shown in FIG. 20, at a predetermined point in time at the end of the fluctuation (for example, after reaching), the effect button 67 is moved from the original operation position to the non-operation position by driving the button driving means 69. (T1a to T1b), the operation validity period for the effect button (operation means) 67 is started. During this operation valid period (T1b to T1c), the button press guidance for prompting the player to press the effect button 67 is notified by, for example, the central display unit 100, the LED 70 of the effect button 67, the LED 26 of the front frame 3, and the like. Done.

  That is, for example, the button pressing guidance image 171 for prompting the pressing operation of the effect button 67 is displayed on the central display means 100, and the LED 70 of the effect button 67 changes from the non-lighting (light-off) state to the effect button 67, for example. The operation shifts to, for example, red single-color lighting indicating that the operation is valid. Further, the LED 26 of the front frame 3 may be lit in a button press guidance pattern in which the lit portion moves from the upper side to the lower side, for example, as shown in FIG.

  As shown in the lower part of FIG. 20, the button press guidance image 171 displayed on the central display means 100 includes, for example, a moving image (or a still image) indicating that the effect button 67 is pressed, and characters “PUSH!”. It consists of. Before the start of the operation valid period, the central display unit 100 may display an operation valid period notice image 172 such as “button press preparation!” For notifying the start of the operation valid period.

  When the effect button 67 is pressed and moved from the non-operation position to the operation position during the operation valid period (T1c), the operation valid period ends at that point. Then, the effect button 67 starts vibrating by the operation of the vibration means 68 while being held at the operation position by the button driving means 69, for example. The LED 70 of the effect button 67 shifts to, for example, rainbow blinking, which blinks while changing to a plurality of colors. It should be noted that the rainbow lighting / flashing is a special lighting mode for the pachinko machine, and never appears in the departure variation pattern. Therefore, the player is convinced that a big hit will occur at the time of the rainbow flashing (or the rainbow lighting). On the other hand, when the effect button 67 is pressed (T1c), the frame-side movable body 37 rises from the lower limit position, which is the origin position, to the upper limit position, for example, at a medium speed among high speed, medium speed, and low speed. To start.

  If the effect button 67 is not operated during the operation effective period, for example, at the end of the operation effective period, the same processing as when the effect button 67 is pressed down, that is, the operation and the effect of the movable body 37 The vibration of the button 67 starts, but in this case, the effect button 67 stands by at the non-operation position.

  Thereafter, a predetermined operation time (first time) elapses from the start of the operation of the movable body 37, and when the movable body 37 reaches the upper limit position and stops (T1d), the upper movable body 103a and the lower movable body continue to be on the board side. 104a and the left and right movable bodies 101a and 102a start moving sequentially. That is, when the movable body 37 reaches the upper limit position, the upper movable body 103a starts moving from the upper position, which is the origin position, toward the lower position almost at the same time (T1d). The movement from the upper position, which is the position, to the lower position is started (T1e), and after a predetermined time, the left and right movable bodies 101a, 102a respectively start moving from the horizontal position, which is the origin position, to, for example, the lower position ( T1f).

  The LEDs 48a, 107, 108, 105 and 106 provided on the movable body 37, the upper movable body 103a, the lower movable body 104a, and the left and right movable bodies 101a and 102a, respectively, when the movement of each movable body is completed ( T1d, T1f to T1h), and sequentially shift from non-lighting (light-out) to, for example, rainbow blinking. As described above, in the big hit variation pattern PA1, the lighting mode of the LED 48a is different between during and after the operation of the movable body 37.

  When the movable body 37 moves from the lower limit position to the upper limit position, the effective display area 35 of the upper display means 30 changes from one screen to two screens, and the upper display means 30 displays one screen before the movement of the movable body 37. After the movement, the effect image corresponding to the two screens is displayed. Even while the movable body 37 is moving, it is desirable to display the effect image according to the change in the effective display area 35. The effect image displayed on the upper display means 30 during the movement of the movable body 37 is preferably an image related to the operation of the movable body 37, such as an image showing the character pushing up the movable body 37 (FIG. 20). On the top side).

  Then, at a predetermined timing (T1i) after all the operations of the movable bodies 103a, 104a, 101a, 102a on the board side are completed (T1i), all the LEDs 48a, 70, 105 to 108, which have been blinking in the rainbow, are switched to rainbow lighting. At the same time, the vibration of the effect button 67 by the vibration means 68 ends. At this time, for example, the movable body 37 is maintained at the upper limit position, but the movable bodies 103a, 104a, 101a, and 102a on the board side return to their original positions and stand by. When the effect button 67 is not operated during the operation valid period, the effect button 67 waiting at the non-operation position is pulled into the operation position, which is the origin position, by the button driving means 69, for example. Is held.

  Thereafter, based on the stoppage of the effect symbol 130 in the big hit mode (T1j), the lighting modes of the LEDs 48a, 70, 105 to 108, which have been rainbow lighting up to that time, are switched to, for example, white single color lighting.

  As described above, in the jackpot variation pattern PA1, the operation of the frame-side movable body (the second movable body) 37 and the operation of the board-side upper movable body (the first movable body) 103a (the first board-side effect) are linked. (An example of a specific effect), a more effective effect can be achieved using the movable body on the frame side. At this time, the upper movable body (first movable body) 103a on the board side is arranged at a position closer to the movable body (second movable body) 37 on the frame side with reference to the center of the game board (first area) 16. Have been. The effect by the big hit variation pattern PA1 is an example of a first specific effect in which the operation time of the movable body (frame movable body) 37 is set to the first time.

  In addition, the jackpot variation pattern PA2 shown in FIG. 21 is obtained by partially changing the jackpot variation pattern PA1 (FIG. 20) so that the movable body 37 is slower and slower than the jackpot variation pattern PA1 from the lower limit position, which is the origin position, to the upper limit position. It is configured to move. In addition, since the movable body 37 moves at a low speed in this manner, the operation time (second time) of the movable body 37 becomes longer than the big hit variation pattern PA1, the movable body 37 reaches the upper limit position, and the LED 48a is rainbow. The timing (T1f) at which flickering starts is later than the jackpot variation pattern PA1 (T1d), but the rest is common to the jackpot variation pattern PA1. In the big hit variation pattern PA2, when the movable body 37 reaches the upper limit position (T1f), the operation of the left and right movable bodies 101a and 102a, not the upper movable body 103a, starts.

  As described above, in the big hit variation pattern PA2, the operation end timing of the movable body 37 is delayed as compared with the big hit variation pattern PA1 by making the operation of the movable body 37 slow. Since the operation start timing of the left and right movable bodies 101a and 102a is matched, the operation of the frame-side movable body (second movable body) 37 and the operation of the board-side left and right movable bodies (first movable body) 101a and 102a are performed. (The second board side effect) can be performed in a chain, and an effective effect can be achieved using the movable body on the frame side. The effect by the big hit variation pattern PA2 is an example of a second specific effect in which the operation time of the movable body (frame movable body) 37 is set to the second time.

  The jackpot variation pattern PA3 shown in FIG. 22 is obtained by partially changing the jackpot variation pattern PA1 (FIG. 20) so that the movable body 37 moves from the lower limit position, which is the origin position, to the upper limit position at a higher speed than the jackpot variation pattern PA1. It is configured to move. The jackpot variation pattern PA3 is different from the jackpot variation pattern PA1 in that the movable body 37 starts rising from the lower limit position, which is the origin position, to the upper limit position (T1k), and the operating time of the movable body 37 (the 3 hours), and includes the timing (T1d) at which the movable body 37 reaches the upper limit position and stops, and is otherwise the same as the jackpot fluctuation pattern PA1 (FIG. 20). Therefore, in the jackpot variation pattern PA3, even if the effect button 67 is pressed during the operation effective period, the operation of the movable body 37 does not start at that time (T1c), and the movable body 37 is not activated at a predetermined timing (T1k) thereafter. When the operation is started and the movable body 37 reaches the upper limit position and stops (T1d), the operation of the upper movable body 103a is started as in the case of the big hit variation pattern PA1.

  As described above, in the jackpot variation pattern PA3, the operation start timing of the movable body 37 (operation start timing of the frame movable body) is delayed as compared with the jackpot variation pattern PA1 by making the operation of the movable body 37 faster. The operation end timing of the movable body 37 is matched with the operation start timing of the upper movable body 103a (the execution start timing of the board-side effect), similarly to the big hit variation pattern PA1 (first specific effect). As a result, the operation of the movable body 37 cannot be started when the effect button 67 is operated, but the operation of the frame-side movable body (second movable body) 37 and the upper movable body (first movable body) of the board side are not performed. Since the operation of the body 103a is performed in a chain (an example of the specific production), the operation using the movable body on the frame side can be performed in a chain, and the movable body on the frame side can be performed. It is possible to produce an effective effect using. The effect by the big hit variation pattern PA3 is an example of a third specific effect in which the operation time of the movable body (frame movable body) 37 is set to the third time.

  In addition, the jackpot variation pattern PA4 shown in FIG. 23 is obtained by partially changing the jackpot variation pattern PA1 (FIG. 20) so that the movable body 37 moves from the lower limit position, which is the origin position, to the upper limit position at a higher speed than the jackpot variation pattern PA1. It is configured to move. The jackpot variation pattern PA4 differs from the jackpot variation pattern PA1 only in the operation time (third time) of the movable body 37 and the accompanying operation end timing (T11), and the lower limit position where the movable body 37 is the origin position. The timing other than the timing (T1c) at which the upward movement is started toward the upper limit position is the same as the jackpot variation pattern PA1. Therefore, in the jackpot variation pattern PA4, even when the movable body 37 reaches the upper limit position and stops, at that time (T11), the operation of the upper movable body 103a on the board side does not start, and after a lapse of a predetermined time (T1d). The operation of the upper movable body 103a is started.

  As described above, in the jackpot variation pattern PA4, the operation of the movable body 37 is performed at a high speed, so that the operation end timing of the movable body 37 is advanced as compared with the jackpot variation pattern PA1. Although the operation of the upper movable body 103a on the board side is not performed in a chained manner, the operation of the movable body 37 can be started when the effect button 67 is operated.

  The jackpot variation pattern PA5 shown in FIG. 24 is different from the jackpot variation pattern PA1 (FIG. 20) and the like in that the frame-side movable body is operated following the operation of the board-side movable body (board-side effect). ing. As shown in FIG. 24, the operation pattern of each movable body, the lighting pattern of each LED, the display image on the central display means 100, and the like until the end of the operation validity period (T2a to T2c) are the big hit variation pattern PA1 and the like. And is common.

  If the player presses down the effect button 67 during the operation valid period (T2c), the operation valid period ends at that point, the LED 70 of the effect button 67 shifts to, for example, rainbow flashing, and the effect button is activated by the operation of the vibration means 68. 67 starts to vibrate. Also, from the point in time when the effect button 67 is pressed, the upper movable body 103a, the lower movable body 104a, and the left and right movable bodies 101a and 102a of the board side start moving sequentially. That is, first, the upper movable body 103a starts to move from the upper position, which is the origin position, to the lower position almost simultaneously with the pressing operation of the effect button 67 (T2c), and after a predetermined time, the lower movable body 104a is the original position. Movement from the upper position to the lower position is started (T2d), and after a predetermined time, the left and right movable bodies 101a and 102a start moving from the horizontal position, which is the origin position, to, for example, the lower position (T2e). .

  When the left and right movable bodies 101a and 102a reach the lower position and stop, the movable body 37 on the frame side starts rising from the lower limit position, which is the origin position, to the upper limit position, for example, at a medium speed (T2g). . Further, before the movable body 37 starts the ascent operation, the central display means 100 displays a frame movable body pre-movement effect image (specific image) 173 related to the operation of the movable body 37, and the frame movable body pre-movement effect image. The display of 173 and the operation of the movable body 37 are performed in a chain. The effect image 173 before the operation of the frame movable body is a moving image of a content that is connected to the ascending movement of the movable body 37 without a sense of incompatibility. As shown in the lower part of FIG. It is configured to frame out.

  When the movable body 37 operates, the upper display means 30 displays a frame movable body operating effect image 174 that is related to the operation of the movable body 37 and is connected after the frame movable body operation effect image 173 without a sense of incongruity. May be. The motion image 174 at the time of operating the frame movable body is, for example, as shown on the upper side of FIG. 24, a moving image showing a state in which the character framed out of the screen of the central display means 100 is framed upward and pushes up the movable body 37. Has become.

  Further, for example, during the display of the effect image 173 before the operation of the frame movable body by the central display means 100, during the ascent operation of the movable body 37, or during both periods, the LED 26 of the front frame 3 is moved downward, for example, as shown in FIG. The lighting may be performed in an ascending pattern in which the lighting location moves from the side toward the upper side.

  The LEDs 107, 108, 105, 106, and 48a provided on the board-side movable bodies 103a, 104a, 101a, and 102a and the frame-side movable body 37, respectively (T2e- T2h), the state sequentially shifts from non-lighting (light-out) to, for example, rainbow blinking. Note that when the movable body 37 reaches the upper limit position, the size of the effective display area 35 of the upper display means 30 becomes maximum (two screens), but any effect is displayed on the upper display means 30 having the maximum size. The image is displayed.

  Further, for example, when the movable body 37 reaches the upper limit position and stops (T2h), the movable bodies 103a, 104a, 101a, and 102a on the board side start moving toward their respective origin positions. Then, for example, when the movable bodies 103a, 104a, 101a, 102a on the board side reach their respective origin positions and stop (T2i), or at a predetermined timing thereafter, the LEDs 48a, 70 which have been flashing in the rainbow up to that time. , 105 to 108 are switched to rainbow lighting, and the vibration of the effect button 67 by the vibration means 68 ends. The effect button 67 that has been waiting at the non-operation position because the effect button 67 has not been operated during the operation validity period is pulled into the operation position, which is the origin position, for example, by the button driving unit 69 and held in that state. Is done.

  Thereafter, based on the stoppage of the effect symbol 130 in the jackpot mode (T2j), the lighting modes of the LEDs 48a, 70, 105 to 108, which have been rainbow lighting up to that point, are switched to, for example, white single-color lighting.

  As described above, in the jackpot variation pattern PA5, the operation of the board-side movable bodies (first movable bodies) 101a and 102a and the operation of the frame-side movable body (second movable body) 37 are performed in a chain, and Of the effect image (specific image related to the operation of the second movable body) 173 before the operation of the frame movable body by the central display means (first effect means) 100 and the operation of the movable body (second movable body) 37 on the frame side Are performed in a chain, and a more effective effect can be achieved using the movable body on the frame side. At this time, the effect image 173 before the operation of the frame movable body (specific image related to the operation of the second movable body) 173 is based on the center of the center display means (first effect means) 100 on the board side as a reference. It is desirable to display at a position near the body (second movable body) 37.

  The big hit variation patterns PA1a and PA5a shown in FIGS. 25 and 26 show modifications of the big hit variation patterns PA1 and PA5 (FIGS. 20 and 24) when the operation of the movable body 37 is not performed. The jackpot variation patterns PA1a and PA5a are used instead of the jackpot variation patterns PA1 and PA5 during the operation restriction period and during the frame movable body standby state based on the operation of the movable body operation button 55. The jackpot variation patterns PA1a and PA5a are different from the jackpot variation patterns PA1 and PA5 only in the operation pattern of the movable body 37.

  That is, in the case of the big hit variation patterns PA1a and PA5a, the movable body 37 does not operate at all while being held at the lower limit position which is the origin position, but all the other movable body operation patterns and LED lighting patterns have the big hit variation pattern PA1. , PA5.

  Therefore, in the case of the jackpot variation pattern PA1a shown in FIG. 25, the movable body 37 does not operate even if the effect button 67 is pressed during the operation valid period, but the LED 48a of the movable body 37 is similar to the jackpot variation pattern PA1. At the start of the operation of the upper movable body 103a, the state shifts from non-lighting (extinguish) to flashing rainbow (T1d), and then shifts to rainbow lighting at a predetermined timing (T1i), and further shifts to white lighting when the effect design 130 stops. (T1j).

  Similarly, in the case of the jackpot variation pattern PA5a shown in FIG. 26, the movable body 37 does not operate even if the effect button 67 is pressed during the operation effective period, but the LED 48a of the movable body 37 has the jackpot variation pattern PA5a. Similarly to the above, at a predetermined timing after all the movable bodies 103a, 104a, 101a, 102a on the board side are turned on, the state shifts from non-lighting (light off) to blinking rainbow (T2h), and thereafter, the movable bodies 103a, 104a on the board side. , 101a, and 102a all return to the origin position, the rainbow lighting is started (T2i), and further, when the effect design 130 is stopped, the white lighting is turned on (T2j). In the case of the jackpot variation pattern PA5a, the movable body 37 does not operate. However, regarding the display of the effect image 173 before the frame movable body operation and the effect image 174 during the operation of the frame movable body related to the operation of the movable body 37, the large jackpot variation pattern PA5 Is executed in the same way as.

  As described above, even when the movable body 37 does not operate due to the operation restriction period of the movable body 37 or the frame movable body standby state based on the operation of the movable body operation button 55, the movable body 37 does not operate. The light emitting effect by the LED 48a may be configured to be executed. Thereby, even when the movable body 37 is in a non-operation state, it is possible to suppress a reduction in the effect.

  If the movable body 37 does not operate during the operation restriction period of the movable body 37 or during the frame movable body standby state based on the operation of the movable body operation button 55, the movable frame 37 is moved to the central display means 100. The display of the effect image before body movement 173 and the display of the effect image 174 during frame movable body operation on the upper display means 30 may not be executed, or the effect image before frame movable body operation on the central display means 100. The display of 173 may be executed, but the display of the effect image 174 at the time of operating the frame movable body on the upper display means 30 may not be executed. When the same effect image is displayed on the upper display means 30 during the operation restriction period or during the frame movable body standby state (small jackpot variation patterns PA1 and PA5), for example, the effect image as described with reference to FIG. May be output to the upper display means 30 after processing such as reduction and movement. Further, an effect image different from that during the operation restriction period or when not in the frame movable body standby state (big hit variation patterns PA1 and PA5) may be configured to be displayed on the upper display means 30, or during the operation restriction period. The effect image may not be displayed on the upper display means 30 during the frame movable body standby state.

  As described above, the pachinko machine of the present embodiment has a transparent flat glass plate 71a, a first region visible through the glass plate 71a, and a visible region without the glass plate 71a. A second area, a plurality of first effect means arranged in the first area, and a plurality of second effect means arranged in the second area; and a plurality of first effect means and a plurality of second effect means. At least one of the movable bodies 37, 101a to 104a includes a specific effect in which the first effect by the first effect means and the second effect by the second effect means are chained, and the specific effect is performed by the movable body 37. , 101a to 104a.

  Further, the plurality of first effect means include movable bodies (first movable bodies) 101a to 104a, the plurality of second effect means include movable bodies (second movable bodies) 37, and in the specific effect, the movable body (first movable body) One of the operations of the first movable body 101a to 103a and the operation of the movable body (second movable body) 37 is executed, and then the other is executed. The movable body (first movable body) 103a used for the specific effect is arranged at a position closer to the movable body (second movable body) 37 used for the specific effect with reference to the center of the first area.

  Further, the plurality of first effect units include a central display unit (image display unit) 100, the plurality of second effect units include a movable body (second movable body) 37, and the central display unit (image display unit) 100 The effect image (specific image) 173 before the operation of the frame movable body related to the operation of the movable body (second movable body) 37 can be displayed. In the specific effect, the frame movable body by the central display means (image display means) 100 is displayed. Following the display of the pre-operation effect image 173, the operation of the movable body 37 is executed. At this time, it is desirable to display the effect image 173 before the operation of the frame movable body used for the specific effect at a position near the movable body 37 used for the specific effect with reference to the center of the central display unit 100.

  Also, a game board 16 having a game area 23 on the front side, a front frame 3 for detachably supporting the game board 16, a frame movable body provided on the front frame 3, a board effect means 100 provided on the game board 16, 101a to 104a, a specific effect of performing the operation of the frame movable body 37 and the board-side effect by the board effect means 100 and 101a to 104a in a chain can be executed, and the frame movable light emitter 48a is attached to the frame movable body 37. The lighting mode of the frame movable light emitting body 48a is different between during and after the operation of the frame movable body 37 in the specific effect.

  Further, an effect button (operating means) 67 operable by the player is provided on the front frame 3, and when the effect button 67 is operated during the operation valid period, the operation of the frame movable body 37 and the board-side effect are controlled. One of them is executed.

  When the movable body operation button 55 is operated in a state where the frame movable body 37 is not at the origin position (when a predetermined operation input is performed), the frame movable body 37 is moved to the origin position, and then the apparatus stands by at the origin position. When the execution time of the specific effect arrives during the frame movable body standby state, the operation of the frame movable body 37 in the specific effect is not executed.

  Also, at this time, when the execution time of the specific effect has arrived during the frame movable body standby state, the operation of the frame movable body 37 in the specific effect is not performed, but the frame movable light emitting member 48a may be turned on in a predetermined lighting mode. Alternatively, the operation of the frame movable body 37 in the specific effect may not be performed, and the frame movable light-emitting body 48a may not be turned on. The lighting may be performed in a lighting mode different from the lighting mode.

  In addition, the specific effect includes a first specific effect in which the operation time of the frame movable body 37 is set to the first time, and a second specific effect in which the operation time is set to the second time longer than the first time. The board-side effect includes a first board-side effect for operating the movable body 103a and a second board-side effect executed after the first board-side effect and for operating the movable bodies 101a and 102a. In the effect, the first board-side effect is executed following the operation of the frame movable body 37, and in the second specific effect, the second board-side effect is executed following the operation of the frame movable body 37.

  The specific effects include a first specific effect in which the operation time of the frame movable body 37 is set to the first time and a third specific effect in which the operation time is set to a third time shorter than the first time. The first specific effect and the third specific effect have substantially the same execution start timing of the board-side effect, and differ in the operation start timing of the frame movable body 37 executed before that.

  The specific effects include a first specific effect in which the operation time of the frame movable body 37 is set to the first time and a third specific effect in which the operation time is set to a third time shorter than the first time. In the first specific effect, the board-side effect is executed following the operation of the frame movable body 37, and the first specific effect and the third specific effect are defined as the start timing of the board-side effect and the frame movable body to be executed before the timing. The operation start timing is substantially the same as the operation start timing of the frame specific body 37. In the first specific effect, the board-side effect is executed following the operation of the frame movable member 37. After the passage, the board-side effect is executed.

  Further, a movable body 37 to which the player can contact, a driving means 33 capable of driving the movable body 37 at least between a lower limit position (first position) and an upper limit position (second position), and contact with the movable body 37 And a touch sensor (contact detecting means) 51 capable of detecting a contact. When the touch sensor 51 detects a contact during the operation of the movable body 37, a danger avoidance process for restricting the operation of the movable body 37 can be executed. I have. This danger avoidance process includes a first danger avoidance process for promptly stopping the movable body 37 when the touch sensor 51 detects a contact, and during the ascent operation of the movable body 37 (from the first position to the second position). When the touch sensor 51 detects a contact during the operation, the first danger avoidance process is executed.

  Further, the danger avoidance process includes a second danger avoidance process of operating the movable body 37 in a direction opposite to the traveling direction in which the movable body 37 has been operated, and then stopping at a position where the movable body 37 has been operated by the predetermined amount. If the touch sensor 51 detects a contact during the lowering operation of the 37 (during operation from the second position to the first position), a second danger avoidance process is executed.

  Also, the lower surface (first portion) 47c of the light emitting decoration portion 47 on the movable body 37 side and the upper edge portion (second portion) 53a of the transparent plate 53 on the upper decoration cover (base body) 28 side that does not move oppose each other. Then, as the movable body 37 moves toward the lower limit position (first position), the distance between the lower surface (first portion) 47c of the light emitting decoration portion 47 and the upper edge portion (second portion) 53a of the transparent plate 53 becomes smaller. The electrode (detection unit) 52b of the touch sensor 51 is disposed on the lower surface (first portion) 47c of the light emitting decoration unit 47 on the movable body 37 side. In addition, the operation of the movable body 37 is not started when the touch sensor 51 is detecting the contact.

  Further, when the touch sensor (contact detection unit) 51 detects a contact during the operation of the movable body 37, the second danger avoidance process with the operation restriction of the movable body 37 can be executed. Then, when the touch sensor 51 detects a contact during the lowering operation of the movable body 37 (during the operation from the second position to the first position), the second danger avoidance process is executed. If the touch sensor 51 detects contact during the operation (during operation from the first position to the second position), the second danger avoidance process is not executed. Further, when the touch sensor 51 detects a contact during the ascent operation of the movable body 37 (during operation from the first position to the second position), a first danger avoidance process different from the second danger avoidance process is executed. It has become.

  Further, it includes one or a plurality of movable bodies 37 operable by driving of the driving means 33, an operation means 55 operable by a player, and operation executing means 163a and 163b for operating the movable body 37. 163a and 163b are a game operation execution means 163a for operating the movable body 37 at a predetermined effect operation timing during the progress of the game, and an optional operation for operating the movable body 37 at any operable timing in accordance with the operation of the operation means 55. The game operation execution unit 163a is provided with a game operation execution unit 163b. When the game operation restriction start condition is satisfied, during the game operation restriction period until the game operation restriction end condition is satisfied, even if the effect operation timing arrives. The operation of the movable body 37 is restricted, and the arbitrary operation execution means 163b sets an arbitrary operation restriction end condition when the arbitrary operation restriction start condition is satisfied. During the arbitrary operation restriction period until the condition is satisfied, the operation of the movable body 37 is restricted even when the operable timing arrives when the operation is not during the arbitrary operation restriction period, and the arbitrary operation restriction start condition is a game operation restriction start condition. At least one condition different from the above is included. Further, the arbitrary operation restriction start condition is defined by the number of operations of the movable body 37 by the arbitrary operation executing means 163b.

  In addition, when the operation is in the optional operation restriction period and is not in the game operation restriction period, the operation of the movable body 37 by the game operation execution unit 163a is not limited, but in the case of the game operation restriction period and not in the arbitrary operation restriction period, The operation of the movable body 37 by the arbitrary operation executing means 163b is restricted. Further, the movable body 37 is held at the lower limit position (predetermined origin position) during the arbitrary operation restriction period.

  The game board 16 includes a game area 23 on the front side, and the main body frame 6 that detachably supports the game board 16. The movable body 37 includes a frame movable body provided on the main body frame 6.

  FIG. 29 illustrates the second embodiment of the present invention, and shows an example in which the first embodiment is partially modified so that the vibration means 68 is not operated during the operation of the movable body 37. As an example, FIG. 29 shows the configuration of the jackpot fluctuation pattern PA1 '. The jackpot variation pattern PA1 'is obtained by partially changing the jackpot variation pattern PA1 (FIG. 20) in the first embodiment. The jackpot variation pattern PA1 'shown in FIG. 29 differs from the jackpot variation pattern PA1 (FIG. 20) only in the operation start timing of the vibration means 68.

  That is, in the jackpot variation pattern PA1 shown in FIG. 20, when the effect button 67 is operated during the operation valid period (T1c), that is, when the movable body 37 starts operating, the operation of the vibration means 68 is started. On the other hand, in the jackpot variation pattern PA1 'shown in FIG. 29, at the time (T1c) when the movable body 37 starts operating, the operation of the vibration means 68 does not start, and the movable body 37 reaches the upper limit position and stops. The operation of the vibration means 68 is started at a time point (T1d). With this configuration, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that the vibration by the vibration means 68 affects the operation of the movable body 37.

  Similarly, the other variation patterns PA2 and the like in the first embodiment may be configured to operate the vibration means 68 after the operation of the movable body 37 is completed. Note that the operation start timing of the vibration means 68 may not be the same as the end of the operation of the movable body 37. Further, the vibration means 68 may be operated before the operation of the movable body 37 starts. For example, in the case of the jackpot variation pattern PA3 (FIG. 22) in the first embodiment, when the effect button 67 is operated during the operation valid period, the operation of the vibration means 68 starts, and thereafter the movable body 37 starts operating. The operation of the vibration means 68 may be ended at the time of starting.

  FIG. 30 illustrates a third embodiment of the present invention, in which the first embodiment is partially modified to be in a frame movable body standby state during the operation restriction period of the movable body 37 or based on the operation of the movable body operation button 55. An example is shown in which the lighting mode of the LED 48a in the middle is different from the case where it is not during the operation restriction period or the like. As an example, FIG. 30 shows an example of the jackpot fluctuation pattern PA1b. The jackpot variation pattern PA1b is obtained by partially changing the jackpot variation pattern PA1a (FIG. 25) in the first embodiment. The jackpot variation pattern PA1b shown in FIG. 30 differs from the jackpot variation pattern PA1a (FIG. 25) only in the lighting mode of the LED 48a provided on the movable body 37.

  That is, in the jackpot variation pattern PA1a (FIG. 25), the LED 48a of the movable body 37 is lit at the same timing as the jackpot variation pattern PA1 (FIG. 20) when not in the operation restriction period, and the lighting mode is the same. On the other hand, in the jackpot variation pattern PA1b (FIG. 30) of the present embodiment, the LED 48a of the movable body 37 is lit at the same timing as the jackpot variation pattern PA1 (FIG. 20) when it is not during the operation restriction period or the like. Is different, for example, after being turned on at the start of the operation of the upper movable body 103a on the board side (T1d), for example, the white single color lighting is continued until the symbol change ends. Needless to say, this lighting mode may be different from that during the operation restriction period or the like, and may be other than white lighting.

  FIG. 31 exemplifies a fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which the third embodiment is partially changed to a frame movable body standby state based on the operation of the movable body operation button 55 or during the operation restriction period of the movable body 37. An example is shown in which both the lighting start timing and the lighting mode of the LED 48a are different from those in the case where the operation is not during the operation restriction period or the like. As an example, the configuration of the jackpot variation pattern PA1c is shown in FIG. The jackpot variation pattern PA1c is obtained by partially changing the jackpot variation pattern PA1b (FIG. 30) in the third embodiment. The jackpot variation pattern PA1c shown in FIG. 31 differs from the jackpot variation pattern PA1b (FIG. 30) only in the lighting start timing of the LED 48a provided on the movable body 37.

  That is, in the jackpot variation pattern PA1b (FIG. 30), the LED 48a of the movable body 37 is lit at the same timing (T1d) as the jackpot variation pattern PA1 (FIG. 20) when the operation is not during the operation restriction period or the like. While the white lighting is different from that during the non-period and the like, the single hit variation pattern PA1c (FIG. 31) of the present embodiment is configured to continue, for example, white monochromatic lighting during the operation restriction period. Of course, this lighting mode may be different from that during the operation restriction period, and may be other than white lighting.

  FIG. 32 illustrates a fifth embodiment of the present invention, in which the first embodiment is partially modified to be in a frame movable body standby state based on the operation of the movable body 37 during the operation restriction period of the movable body 37 or the operation of the movable body operation button 55. The middle part shows an example in which not only the movable body 37 is not operated but also the LED 48a is not turned on. As an example, FIG. 32 shows an example of the jackpot fluctuation pattern PA1d. The jackpot variation pattern PA1d is obtained by partially changing the jackpot variation pattern PA1a (FIG. 25) in the first embodiment. The jackpot variation pattern PA1d shown in FIG. 32 differs from the jackpot variation pattern PA1a (FIG. 25) only in the lighting mode of the LED 48a provided on the movable body 37. That is, in the big hit variation pattern PA1d shown in FIG. 32, the non-lighting (light-out) state is maintained during the operation restriction period.

  FIG. 33 and FIG. 34 illustrate the sixth embodiment of the present invention, and show an example in which the execution conditions of the second danger avoidance process are limited by partially changing the first to fifth embodiments. This embodiment is different from the first to fifth embodiments only in the execution conditions of each danger avoidance process. That is, as shown in FIG. 33, in the present embodiment, when the touch sensor 51 detects a contact during the ascent operation of the movable body 37, the first danger avoidance process is executed as in the first to fifth embodiments. However, even when the touch sensor 51 detects a contact during the lowering operation of the movable body 37, the position of the movable body 37 at that time is not within a specific range of a predetermined distance (for example, 30 mm) from the origin position. The first danger avoidance process is executed in the same manner as during the ascent operation, and the second danger avoidance process is executed only when the danger is within a specific range (FIG. 34).

  Note that whether or not the movable body 37 is operating within the specific range may be determined based on the number of steps of the driving unit 33 after the origin position detecting unit 45 or the upper limit position detecting unit 46 is turned off. Alternatively, a separate sensor may be provided at a position corresponding to the specific range, and the determination may be made based on a detection signal of the sensor.

  As described above, even when the contact is detected by the touch sensor 51 during the lowering operation of the movable body 37, if the contact is not within the specific range in which the finger or the like is likely to be actually pinched, the second danger avoidance is performed. The first danger avoidance process may be executed instead of the process.

  In addition, the contact with the electrode 52a on the upper surface 47b side and the contact with the electrode 52b on the lower surface 47c side are configured to be distinguishable, and when the contact is detected on the electrode 52a side, it is similar to the first to fifth embodiments. The first danger avoidance process is executed, but even if the contact is detected on the electrode 52b side, if the position of the movable body 37 at that time is not within the specific range, the contact is detected on the electrode 52a side The first danger avoidance process may be executed in the same manner as described above, and the second danger avoidance process may be executed only when it is within the specific range.

  FIGS. 35 and 36 illustrate a seventh embodiment of the present invention, in which the sixth embodiment is partially modified so that a normal danger avoidance process that does not require contact detection by a touch sensor can be executed. Is shown. This embodiment is different from the sixth embodiment only in that a normal danger avoidance process is provided as a danger avoidance process in addition to the first and second danger avoidance processes.

  In the normal danger avoidance process, the movable body 37 is temporarily stopped at a predetermined position. As shown in FIG. 35, the execution condition does not include the contact detection by the touch sensor 51, and the movable body 37 is moving down. At a predetermined position (FIG. 36). In this case, the predetermined position is desirably set to a start position (for example, a position 30 mm from the origin position) of a specific range where a finger or the like is likely to be pinched or a position before the start position.

  By temporarily stopping the movable body 37 at the predetermined position in this way, it is possible to alert the player and to give time to avoid the pinching.

  The normal danger avoidance process of the present embodiment may be added to the first to fifth embodiments. Further, the first and second danger avoidance processes may not be executed (that is, a touch sensor for detecting contact with the movable body 37 is not provided), and only the normal danger avoidance process may be executed.

  FIG. 37 illustrates an eighth embodiment of the present invention, in which the first to seventh embodiments are partially modified and the start / end conditions of the arbitrary operation restriction period are defined based on a movable body operation timer. Is shown. This embodiment is different from the first to seventh embodiments only in conditions for starting / ending an arbitrary operation restriction period.

  As shown in FIG. 37, the arbitrary operation restriction start condition in the present embodiment is satisfied when the value of the movable body operation timer is equal to or greater than a first threshold value (for example, a value corresponding to 60 seconds), and the arbitrary operation restriction end. The condition is satisfied when the value of the movable body operation timer becomes equal to or less than a second threshold (for example, 0) (where 0 ≦ second threshold <first threshold). Here, the value corresponding to the elapsed time is added to the movable body operation timer during the operation of the movable body 37, and the value corresponding to the elapsed time is subtracted while the movable body 37 is stopped. I have. When the second threshold value is set to a value other than 0, it is desirable to clear the movable body operation timer when the end condition of the arbitrary operation restriction period is satisfied. The addition of the movable body operation timer may be performed only during the operation by the arbitrary operation execution unit 163b, and may not be performed during the operation by the game operation execution unit 163a.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the embodiment, the example in which the frame movable body (the movable body 37 and the effect button 67) is provided so as to be able to move up and down has been described. Movement, rotational movement around an arbitrary axis, or an operation combining them may be performed. Further, in the embodiment, the example in which the first display means 31 is mounted on the movable body 37 which is an example of the frame movable body is described, but a frame movable body without the display means may be provided.

  In the embodiment, it is configured to automatically determine whether the instruction content is the “home standby instruction” or the “game position return instruction” according to the operation timing of the movable body operation button 55. For example, two operation means for a first (up) instruction and a second (down) instruction are provided so that the user can independently select the instruction content. An operation means may be provided, and the operation input mode is made different according to a plurality of types of instruction contents, for example, a single press is used for a first (up) instruction and a long press is used for a second (down) instruction. You may.

  In the embodiment, an example has been described in which the moving distance of the movable body 37 is the same and the moving speed is different so that the operation time of the movable body 37 is different. However, the moving speed of the movable body 37 is the same and the moving distance is different. Thus, the operation time of the movable body 37 may be changed.

  In the embodiment, an example in which the electrodes of the touch sensor are arranged on both the light-emitting decoration upper surface 47b and the light-emitting decoration lower surface 47c corresponding to both the rising and lowering operations of the movable body 37 and the front side in each of the operation directions. However, among the surfaces corresponding to the front side in the operation direction of the movable body (the upper surface 47b and the lower surface 47c in the embodiment), there is a possibility that the surface may be pinched (the lower surface 47c in the embodiment). May be provided with an electrode, and the electrode may not be provided on a surface having no (or low) possibility of being sandwiched (in the embodiment, the light-emitting decorative portion upper surface 47b).

  The second danger avoidance process may be executed when there is a possibility of pinching during all operations (for example, ascent and descent) of the movable body and when the touch sensor detects contact during any of the operations. In the case where the touch sensor detects a contact within each specific range in all operations (within a range in which the possibility of pinching is high), the second danger avoidance process is executed, and the contact is detected in other ranges. In this case, the first danger avoidance process may be executed.

  In the embodiment, the electrodes of the touch sensor are provided on the movable body 37 side. However, the electrodes of the touch sensor may be provided on the facing surface side of the movable body 37, that is, on the transparent plate upper edge 53a side, or on both sides facing each other. That is, it may be provided on both the lower surface 47c of the light emitting decoration portion and the upper edge portion 53a of the transparent plate.

  In the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the conductive connection portion 50 is disposed on the rear side of the electrode 52b provided on the light-emitting decoration portion lower surface 47c. The electrode 52b may be electrically connected to the lead wire so as to penetrate the decorative portion lower surface 47c in the thickness direction.

  The operation pattern when the frame movable body such as the movable body 37 operates may be configured to be selectable from a plurality of types. The method of selecting the operation pattern is arbitrary. For example, a player may be allowed to select an operation pattern on a menu screen that can be displayed while waiting for a customer, or when a transition is made to a setting mode by performing a predetermined operation at power-on, a person in charge of the hall in the setting mode May be able to select an operation pattern. When a player or the like can select an operation pattern, the light emission pattern of the light emitting means provided on the frame movable body may be different for each of the operation patterns. The same applies to the movable panel.

  For example, in the case of a probability change big hit that becomes a high probability state after a jackpot game, the frame movable body is operated or largely operated, and in the case of a normal large hit that becomes a low probability state after the big hit game, the frame movable body is not operated or operated small. For example, the operation of the frame movable body may be made different depending on the type of the profit state.

  A plurality of vibration patterns of the effect button 67 may be provided, and the effect mode by the other effect means may be changed according to the vibration patterns. For example, the image display effect may not be performed during the short-time vibration, and the image display effect may be performed during the long-time vibration, or the light-emitting effect using the LED 70 of the effect button 67 may not be performed during the short-time vibration, In the case of vibration for a long time, a light emission effect may be performed by the LED 70 of the effect button 67. Further, the operation validity period for the effect button 67 may be started after the vibration of the effect button 67 (for example, short-time vibration) ends.

  The first effect means arranged in the first area is not limited to the movable body, the LED, and the image display means, but may include a speaker, a vibration means, and the like. Also, the second effect means arranged in the second area is not limited to the movable body, the LED, and the image display means, but may be a vibration means or the like.

  FIG. 24 of the first embodiment shows an example in which the operation of the movable body 37 is executed following the display of the effect image 173 before the operation of the frame movable body by the board effecting means 100. The display of the effect image after the operation of the frame movable body by the board effect means 100 may be executed. For example, following the movement of the movable body 37 from the upper limit position to the lower limit position, it is conceivable to display the effect images after the frame movable body operation related to the operation of the movable body 37 in a chained manner.

  In the danger avoidance process described in the embodiment, the movable body 37 is configured to be stopped as an example of the operation restriction. However, operation restriction other than the stop, such as deceleration or evacuation to a predetermined evacuation position, or a combination thereof is adopted. May be.

  In the embodiment, the first danger avoidance process is executed during the ascent operation of the movable body 37 (during the operation from the lower limit position to the upper limit position), but a finger or the like can be pinched during the ascent operation of the movable body 37 or the like. The danger avoidance process may not be executed during an operation with low reliability.

  In the first danger avoidance process of the embodiment, the movable body 37 is stopped immediately. However, an operation other than stop, such as deceleration of the movable body 37, may be performed.

  The type of operation restriction may be the same in the first danger avoidance process and the second danger avoidance process, and the degree of operation restriction may be different. For example, the first danger avoidance processing may be stopped for one second, the second danger avoidance processing may be stopped for three seconds longer than that, or the first danger avoidance processing may be performed with a gentle deceleration and stopped. Then, it may be stopped immediately.

  When performing the danger avoidance process, a warning may be issued by voice, liquid crystal, a lamp, or the like. In this case, the type and degree of the warning notification may be different between the first danger avoidance process and the second danger avoidance process. For example, the same type of warning notification is performed in the first danger avoidance process and the second danger avoidance process, but the degree of notification in the second danger avoidance process is larger than that in the first danger avoidance process (for example, the volume is high, the warning display May be large, the number of lamps and the amount of light may be large, etc.) For example, in the first danger avoidance process, a warning display using liquid crystal is performed, and in the second danger avoidance process, sound is displayed in addition to the warning display using liquid crystal. A warning may be issued.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the pachinko machine, but can be similarly implemented in various game machines such as an arrangement ball machine, a sparrow ball game machine, and a slot machine.
